kimmay is feeling quite The current mood of yuffie@comcast.net at www.imood.com at the moment

Listening to: Arashi - Pika*nchi

Have just obtained Pika*nchi PV.

Think it is good.

Must admit that Nino is HOT.

Especially like the part when they all reach for their belts like they're going to strip down (wonder if they are? Sho is slow to react)

Must admit that Nino is HOT again.

Okay, let's stop talking in fragmented sentences.

Sho seriously looks psycho in like, almost every little scene of the PV that he's in. The hair and the scar (fake, of course) make him even more psycho-like. He also makes a lot of psycho-ish face expressions. His character is a "yankee", which is what they call gang members in Japan (thank you Furuba). Dressed in yankee trademark overcoat (switches between black and white), carrying a big bag. Yes. A big bag.

Aiba actually looks really good. His hair isn't too long, and he's dressed well. He IS the main character of "Pika*nchi", isn't he? Wearing..um..navy shirt. Or a (mainly white) plaid button-up t-shirt.

Matsujun is "the rich boy", and dresses like it too. The hair could use some cuttage though. White sweater-vest (or white polo shirt). White pants. White everything. Carrying a REALLY big red bag.

Ohno is normal. When was the last time Ohno got a really suprising haircut (can you see how much I focus on hair?)? I wonder what he looks like with short hair *pulls a Dr. Evil pinkie-to-edge-of-mouth*? Bright green t-shirt with black (or maybe they're blue) pants, or red hooded sweatshirt with blue hood. I think he plays some nerdy perv-ish guy. Unless someone translated something wrong.

And Nino. White T-shirt. Grey pants with one pantleg pulled up. Bleached hair (I prefer bleached-hair-Nino to normal-hair-color-Nino). Nice tan. *flies off to dream world* Like buttah. And he also carries the skateboard wherever he goes.

Shall I describe more? I shall.

It's all pretty choppy. Some parts are from the actual movie itself, while others are from the filming of it. Then some are of them just walking around.

There's one part where it shows them all crying (well...only one or two tears), EXCEPT Nino. Which was odd. And at the end, they have each one smiling (actually, Aiba doesn't smile) at the camera with one corner all blurred.

And for some reason, Ohno is often running away from something.

I REALLY WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE! WITH SUBTITLES OF COURSE. How long would that take? Oh...probably...a year and a half.

Did I mention that we got a new TV today? It's a lot bigger than our old one, though when we were looking at the TVs in the store, I didn't notice the size difference. Anyways...we used to have a 19" I think, but now it's a 24". It fits perfectly onto the little space we have for it too. It's a Sony, and flat-screen, which means minimal glare! Yay!

Today (well..Friday) felt like Saturday. I almost woke up at 10 to catch Ultraman, but then realized it was only Friday. So I went back to sleep for an hour.

I think I shall screencap some of this PV. Out of the somewhat little amount of clear images that are in it.

ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......(*this means I'm too tired to continue, so you should probably stop reading here and save yourself*)

Listening to: Arashi - Pika*nchi

O__O~~~

The beginning of this song scares me.

But the chorus is very nice. I had already heard part of it (part of the bridge and part of the chorus) from a preview-ish thing I downloaded. It was from that show where Arashi is in dog costumes (Ohno is the poodle~).

"Shinjitai yo! Dakishimete~ dakishimete~" (can't really understand anything else)

But yes. I very much recommend downloading it. It's not regular Arashi material.

And so now I'm trying to find lyrics...but I suspect that I won't get very far. After all, the single was released only yesterday -_-*

Listening to: Johnny's Jr - Love and Peace

WOW...I'm typing with mittens on. I'm not doing so bad! The only word I really screwed up on was "typing".

This song is so cu~~te.

Okay, no more mittens.

I was just playing some KH. I attempted the battle against Phantom. I loaded my items with Megalixers and Mega-ethers. I disabled a bunch of abilities to make room for MP-increasing ones.

And I lost. Like 5 times...

Since I think that battle is undoubtedly impossible...I'm going to see if I can get a gameshark or something...I'm in the process of playing the game back from the start, but I'm only at Deep Jungle.

I think the second time I was doing it, I got really far. Almost to the green bar! And then he casted (?) Doom on me. And Donald was already gone. And Peter Pan was gone like, an hour before that *mocks Peter Pan's "CA-CAW!" call*.

Pansy.

Today sucked. Spanish always sucks; Calc, I had a really long test (must've been 10-11 pages on DERIVATIVES); Latin, had to take notes and was out of paper (squeezing things onto a piece of paper, and thus making it all messy really annoys me)...Then aiding period. Yesterday, I got in trouble with the teacher because I was telling this student how to correct it (as opposed to letting him figure it out). And that I turn around to talk to them too much. So today I spent the whole period practicing my typing, and I didn't do all that great.

Then, after school, there were 6 of us squeezed into one car. Two in the front seat, and 4 in the back. Needless to say, my friend (Rebekah - haha) had to sit on the edge of the seat, and this guy had to put one of his legs on this other guys...It was all messed up. Fortunately, I was the first one dropped off.

And I've been freezing all day...And I just lost (5 times) to Phantom..GRR!!!

But I don't have any homework...so that's good.

I'm listening to the Jackson 5........

Hahahah..

Must be going now...

Listening to: TOKIO - Kanpai!!

"Kanpai! Fight! Fight! Yeah!"

Actually...it sounds more like "Kanpai! Fight-o! Fight-o! Yeah!", because of the fact that the Japanese almost always end a syllable with a vowel, except when the "n" comes into play...I'm rambling.

Was just playing KH. I took a go at Ansem. HARD. The first one wasn't hard at all (my strategy guide warned of the guardian hanging onto you, but I didn't get it at all). I just whacked away at his ugly self. Then beat that thing...um..Darkside! Easy. Then the second Ansem battle. I lost 3 times. It sucks because when you lose, you have to go back and fight Darkside again. So I always have to squeeze in a little cure action in between (because I let the little basic heartless swing at me).

Monk marathon! Yayy~! I missed a lot of them...And I just missed more of them playing KH! Oh phooey. The last one with Willie Nelson was funny. Halfway through the show, my brother was yelling out who did it...though I didn't really care.

Was on a downloading spree last night. Stayed up til quarter of 5...and was caught by my dad. But he didn't do anything, just shook his head. I went to bed right after that anyway.

Let's see...what did I download? The "Kimi no Tame ni Boku ga Iru" PV! It's not complete though. Well..the file is, in fact, complete, but...not..Hm..Basically, it says it's not incomplete, but it is. So there.

What did I think of it? I was cool, but I thought it could've been a lot more upbeat. That song is the EPITOME of cuteness. It could've lived up to that. All they did was stand there in the empty parking garage, sometimes dancing, but mostly just standing there. Or it would show them on TVs in store windows, while they're in the empty parking garage. Maybe the end is more happy. It stops right at the part when they get to the top of the garage (after they all squeeze into that little teeny weeny elevator). But I must say, they all look quite good in this one. At least it's not as horrendous as Takki's version of the Arashi PV...I can't stand that one. Such small clothing...

I also downloaded a report from Arashi's Summer Concert Tour. They showed some clips of the performances. WHO DESIGNS THOSE CLOTHES?! THEY MUST BE FIRED. It's insane! They have these suits that have polka-dots, stripes, plaid, and camouflage (it looks like)..ALL ON THE SAME SUIT. And to add to it, Jun and Nino are in PINK, while the rest are in a combination of blue, green, and a brownish-yellow. HORRIBLE. The HORROR.

Then they show clips from Jun, Aiba, and Sho's solos. Jun's is...normal. Aiba's is Jamaican flavored, and Sho's...I liked Sho's! He plays an electric guitar. Can't really describe what it sounds like...

Then, while they're preforming "Easy Crazy Break Down", they wear these black shirts that are cropped, a la Britney Spears. TERRIFYING. And I thought those short pants were bad.

I'm watching the "Johnny's Super Hit Medley" again, so..this will probably take a while. I guess this means...goodbye!

Listening to: Arashi (Ohno) - Bite the Love

I've been slipping. SLIPPING.

You know how there have been two shootings in the past two days? One last night, and one this morning? I didn't find out about either of them until 5 PM today. I didn't watch the news this morning, neither were mentioned on the announcements at school, I got home an hour late (I stayed after for a club), and then played KH for two hours. So when I was done all that, I got on the computer and learned about the one this morning, but not the one last night...

My brother put Mozilla on here, so I'm using it right now. I don't really like it. It's too slow. Or something. It's just like Netscape, isn't it? My site doesn't appear correctly in it. It screws it all up.

And I'm typing right now and I'm going too fast for it. That's a bad sign, isn't it?

It looks cool, but nahh..I'll stick with IE.

You know, I'd like to get into IRC, but I don't know any rooms to join...I don't want to just barge in somewhere. So can anyone recommend one? :)

Hmm...What else to say? MOZILLA IS SLOW.

Last night, I downloaded a performance of a Johnny's "Super Hits Medley". It had a bunch of Johnnys' groups come out and sing...songs. A lot of them where old 80's songs sung by Hikaru Genji and Shonentai, but there were two V6 songs (Change the World, Ainanda) and one Arashi (A-RA-SHI). And then some TOKIO, SMAP, Kinki Kids, and...I think that was all. Everyone would join in the singing, so you'd get V6 singing Arashi...it was weird. At one point, Koichi (From Kinki Kids) did that thing on the rope where you hold on and twist around...You know...like acrobatics and circus stuff..It was really cool too!

I can't take it anymore. THIS IS GOING TOO SLOW!

Listening to: None

Lockdown for the fourth straight day...This isn't cool, man. All after-school things are being cancelled...

I got my senior shirt today. Finally.

Umm..um...I watched "Life as a House" today. MMMM HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN. Weird seeing him with a lip ring and black/blue hair, but it was good. The end was so sad.

Must be going now, TOODLES~

Listening to: Johnny's Jr (Four Tops) - Nami

*faint* So...cute...This song is so cute. A perfect song for a getaway to some beautiful island in the Caribbean. Of course..."Nami" translates to "wave"...hahah....

Anyways...I've never heard Hasejun sing solo. He has a REALLY nice voice! It's kinda like Yamapi's. And Toma looks really fragile for some reason (I'm watching the performance). Kazama looks kinda weird...his hair is all slicked back. Yamapi looks normal.

"Find a way"~~~~~

I think I must be going now. Ja~ ne~

Listening to: Kingdom Hearts (Yoko Shimomura) - Kairi III

Yooo~!

Last night, I finally beat Riku/Ansem. On the second try. But it was probably my 15th total. I thought the end of Hollow Bastion was really cool...the way they thought that up. I've been reading reviews of how they think the plot of the game was really boring, but I like it!

Today, I went to a Jewlry show downtown. The only fun that came out of it was admiring all the shiny jewlry. SO MANY JEWELS. I got a little beaded coin purse that looks like a panda...it's really cute. And only $6! Then I got two rings for $5 each. They look real under a bright light, but definitely don't sound real when you drop them.

I haven't been doing much Johnny's researching lately. It's been all Kingdom Hearts. How sad. But there hasn't been much news. Except that Arashi's new movie comes out in like, two weeks. Not much else...

Today, my mom's co-worker was kind of explaining sushi to me. Suprisingly, today was the first time I had sushi. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't like "WOW I'M IN LOVE WITH SUSHI NOW" either. Just...good.

Oooh scary...There was just a little news bit at the bottom of the screen, saying they're seeing if a shooting in my county is linked to those sniper shootings. O___O()...Though it's on the opposite side that I live on.

..Why...is...my...computer...being....slow...!...?

Listening to: Utada Hikaru - Simple and Clean (PLANITb remix)

Hola.

Today was awfully boring. All day at school, I was thinking about how long it would be until I was back at home, laying on the couch in the basement, happily playing Kingdom Hearts. I was REALLY happy because I didn't have to do much work today. First period, I never have any hard work. Second is the same. Third -- English -- sometimes we have a lot of work, but today, we were just reading and going over work (which I didn't do because I was on the field trip and I didn't know it was assigned ^__^). Then fourth period, I aide, so all I did was type up things.

So now onto my Kingdom Hearts progress! I am currently at Hollow Bastion. The same place I was at the time of the last entry. I've been leveling up and getting Trinity Marks and dalmatians. I only have 15 dalmatians left! 9 are in Hollow Bastion, 3 are in Atlantica (I think..) and 3 are in Monstro.

Well I'm off to continue my quest in Kingdom Hearts. Wish me luck!

Listening to: Utada Hikaru - Hikari (PLANITb Remix)

La la la...Today was quite weird.

Of course, that shooting spree thing had something to do with it. The weird thing is that I was in Latin class. Last year, during 9/11, I was in Latin class too. So the people from my class suspect that everything bad happens when we're in Latin.

Anyways...Everyone was just about ready to go to fourth period, but they made everyone stay in third. Not that I really cared that much (cause I aide fourth period), but it was weird. They said no one could go outside or into the halls. I don't even live in the county that the shootings happened, but since the suspects are in a truck, they thought the shooters might travel to other places.

Anyways...No one was scared, just irritated. I got home, and suprisingly my dad and brothers were home (they were supposed to leave for Ocean City for a couple days). Apparently, there was someone staying in my grandmother's condo, so they couldn't go.

Eh..What else? I played a lot of Kingdom Hearts today. I beat Maleficent's dragon form. It was hard, but I finally summoned Tinkerbell and she assisted me. :)

Right now, I'm against Riku/Ansem, and this battle SUCKS! I keep getting down to the very last bar of his health, and only have a small block, and he kills me. BASTARD.

So now...I'm just traveling the worlds, finding little things I didn't get before.

Anyways...I have to go now. Bye bye.

Listening to: Arashi (Sho) - Konya wa Boogie Back

:(

I have a project due tomorrow. I'm still not in the mood to start it. I have enough info though, so I'm sure it won't be hard find any. And I can probably bs some of it because that teacher said that as long as we all do it and try hard, we'll all get A's.

Then I have a field trip on Wednesday.

I wonder how Homecoming went? This was the first year that I didn't attend Homecoming. I figure there are more than enough senior events, including Prom. I also know that more than 800 people bought homecoming tickets. They even ran out of signup sheets. I think it got to 800 (about 50 a page) and they didn't have anymore, so they had to write it on regular paper. Anyways...800 people in one gym?? It's mostly freshmen, I suppose.

I've been waking up early this weekend. On a NORMAL weekend, I wake up around 11:30...give or take a half an hour. This weekend, I've been waking up on average, at 9:30. It's only two hours, but that's early for me. Maybe it's the weather...

I'm disappointed by Postpet. They closed their English site (back in July...that's how late I am). And the beta version of version 3 just came out. I downloaded the Japanese test, but it was all a bunch of gibberish (as in, no kanji or anything, just symbols) so I deleted it all. Version 3 looks really cool too! They have multiple rooms, different views, and an actual yard.


If I lived in Middle-Earth, it would be in:
Lothlorien or Rivendell

You prefer the tranquilty and peacefulness of nature and enjoy the milder seasons of the year. While you know it is necessary to keep in contact with other living beings, most of the time you enjoy the seclusion of an aesthetically pleasing, woodland environment.

Yes! I found a quiz! Just a minute ago!

Friends Quiz @ Malandi.org

Bahh~ I'm tired.

Listening to: V6 - Ai no Melody

I apologize profusely. I have failed in my mission to find new quizzes/surveys, because I am lazy. And drinking lemonade.

What did I do today? Woke up semi-early (I could've woken up earlier, but chose not to) to see the second Ultraman Tiga episode for today (missed the first one). Nagano wasn't in much of it, so it wasn't that great. Plus, right at the end, my brother came in and I was distracted.

Then I played Kingdom Hearts until like...4 PM. With a lunch break. Got all the way to Atlantica. Agrabah was confusing, but the boss battle(s) were pretty easy. Because Jafar sucks. I was frustrated though because I kept trying to jump to and from ledges and stuff, but kept falling down. Stupid jump button.

And I was playing in the Hercules Cup (I think? It's the one after the Phil Cup) and got all the way to the last battle -- Yuffie and Leon. AND YUFFIE BEAT ME. My brother was like "You beat yourself!" I was already low on health though. I was just about to use a potion when she hit me with a ninja star thing. I had already hit Leon across the ring. Hahah...

Ahhhhhhh SO BORED. BORING. HELP! I AM BORED.

I love this song. Have I mentioned before that I love this song? Because I love this song dearly. It makes no sense sometimes, but I still love this song.

I have also noticed that I haven't done any quizzes or little survey things in a long time, so I'm gonna go off in search of some to proudly display here.

I also feel the need to go on a downloading spree. :)

Be back in a little.

Listening to: Porno Graffitti - Music Hour

Let me just say right now: TODAY SUCKED. IT SUCKED ASS.

First of all, I woke up at 6, but fell back asleep for 20 minutes and had to take my really quick shower (normally I take my time).

School was fine up until third period. If you go to my school, you'd be pissed off too. Let me explain: Everyone looks forward to the Pep Rally. There's only one a year (just for homecoming), all the different classes/grades dress in different colors, and then at the pep rally, each class competes against each other in various activities and chants things, for example, "Freshmen suck!" The cheerleaders practice weeks for this, the cavaliers (almost like cheerleaders, but not so peppy and with wooden rifles or flags) practice weeks for this, and most of all, the student government plans forever for this.

So here's the point: the freshmen and sophomores got it cancelled. All the administrators are saying that it was no specific class that set the cancellation off, but everyone knows that what they did ultimately triggered it. I know you want to know what they did. Right?

From what I heard, there were two tables in the cafeteria, one occupied by freshmen, the other by sophomores. So then they go off and throw ketchup back and forth at each other (I suspect that the Freshmen started it, because their class color was red. Sophomores were blue, juniors gold/yellow, and seniors black. Gold and black are the school colors, so it makes sense that the upperclassmen are assigned these colors). That incident, plus the fact that there is paint of several colors of the rainbow scattered on floors (not a lot, just little splatters) all over the school. From what I know, there has not been a cancelled pep rally in what must be a decade or more. And seniors LOVE pep rally, because this is where we really get to crack down on the classes lower than us.

So I hope you understand why I feel so angry about this. Stupid lowerclassmen ruin it for the entire school. Two words for this: NO MERCY.

I am seriously going to beat the crap out of any lowerclassmen that gets in my way. ANY. I don't care if it was an accident. I AM GOING TO KICK THEIR ASS.

Now onto the next disaster.

My friend and I went to go work on the wall after school (each class paints part of this wall by the parking lot and fields, and before the homecoming game, it is judged by various faculty members and whoever wins gets something. I'm not sure about getting something, it might just be the fact that you won). When we get there, we see that various parts of paint have been dripping down the wall. No, it was not vandalized by someone. Some of the other senior board members were painting this morning, and the tarp put over it blew away and the rain started washing away the paint. So a lot of the wall was ruined. Other people were going through issues with other things, and it just sucked majorly. Eventually, they were able to just rinse away the bad paint, and paint over. When I left, there were some other people coming to help, and there wasn't much to do, so they probably finished.

And the last one: I am majorly PMSing.

When I got home, I took a shower, and then played Kingdom Hearts to release some anger (it felt good beating Clayton and his chameleon to a pulp).

Yesterday, I got to Deep Jungle. I beat everything on Destiny Island, Traverse Town, and Wonderland, and did most of Deep Jungle except for the boss battle. Today, I did that boss battle, and then did the preliminary things in Olympus Coliseum (YAY CLOUD!). Right now, I am in Traverse Town. I just got the book from Cid.

Did I mention that I got a CD/MP3 player for my birthday? I never knew how many MP3s could fit on a CD (when you're not making an audio, but just burn the files onto the disc). I probably could've loaded my entire G drive onto it and it wouldn't have filled up. And let me mention that I have the entire Super Smash Brothers OST, the entire FFVII OST, and the entire Chrono Cross OST, PLUS loads of Arashi and Gackt and Utada Hikaru MP3s. Okay, so maybe THAT wouldn't all fit, but it would've been extremely close! I ended up putting some Weiß Kreuz MP3s on there. I dunno, but the order of the MP3s is really screwed up, so I think I'll do it over.

Remember how I wanted Arashi's "All or Nothing" DVD, but there's that problem with the region code? Anyways, I told my brother about it, and he proposed that I buy it and just make it into a VCD. I wouldn't mind that, though I could just buy the overseas version (which is a VCD). It probably wouldn't have chapters though, cause they usually don't. That's what my V6 VCD is like, and it's hell trying to find the song that you want.

Am I ranting? Am I? You can tell the truth. I don't mind.

What else? The weather is really humid and I hate it like the devil. IT IS EVIL. Stupid rain. I HATE YOU.

And I'm hungry and hot and possess the desire to KICK SOMEONE'S ASS! RRRAARRARRRRGGHHH!! *goes off like a wild beast in search for food*

Listening to: Utada Hikaru - Simple and Clean

OY.

It has been nearly a week since last update!! I can't believe it. I am neglecting this pita heavily. Heavy neglection.

Anyways, my birthday was Monday. It was okay. School was okay, cause I got to wear my pajamas and be all comfy. I had a calc test (which I got back today), and I got a B! That's good! Lately, I've been getting like...C's. A lot of people around me did worse, and I was VERY SUPRISED.

We went out to dinner, and the service sucked at first because the waiter/waitress that was assigned to us had gone home, so we sat there for 15 minutes doing nothing. Later, the manager guy came by and cleared the situation up, and said that our food orders got first priority. So we got them in like, 5 minutes. It was cool.

Then for my gifts...PLAYSTATION 2!!!! HAPPY! HAPPY!

And the only game I got for it?

...Final Fantasy X.

BUT!! My mom told me that she got that one instead of Kingdom Hearts (she couldn't decide so she went with FFX), but after dinner, I drove (yes! I drove!!) to the store to return it. SO NOW I HAVE KINGDOM HEARTS!

Unfortunately, it came with no memory card, so for a couple days, I played it without saving it (yesterday, I got to 4 levels: Traverse Town, Wonderland, Deep Jungle, and Olympus Coliseum). So today, we got a memory card. I didn't mind that I didn't have one. Now I know everything that I have to do, and I get to watch the opening sequence again.

All the characters saying YOO-fie...they annoy me. Including YOO-fie herself. ANNOY. I'm pretty sure the reason that they say YOO-fie is because in Japanese, her name was "Yufi", and the two syllables are split into two - "yu" and "fi". So if you say them separately, that's how it sounds. But when they changed it to the North American version, they changed her name to "Yuffie"...And if you say it like a North American would, you would say YUFF-ie. So I really hate that. HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT.

Since Monday, I haven't been on the computer. So I have to check all my email and all the regularly-visited websites...

WHOA. New update about the "Yamapi Attack"! Someone said that the guy wanted to see Takki, but Yamapi said no, so he attacked Yama-kun. I dunno, it might be just a rumor, so don't believe me! I am not reliable. But I have also heard that the guy was not a Maki Goto fan, and I think that's correct. Another article says that the guy said "I wanted to exchange souls with him"...Insane, but probably good reasoning. Yamapi is extremely popular, isn't he? Hahhaa...

This "Simple and Clean" is cool. Not quite as cool as "Hikari", but cool. The remix used in Kingdom Hearts (during the opening) makes it sound really weird though. At the one part where she says "and said...", the remix makes it sound like "and ted and ted" because it's so fast.

[Unrelated] LOL..."Oxford dictionary to include 'Klingon' and 'Jedi'". What are they going to write? I'd like to hear some suggestions before they really come out (This means email me....)

I dunno if I'm going to homecoming yet. Only 3 days away...haha..Need a dress...a date...-_-

Must be going now! Ta-ta!

Listening to: Arashi - Kokoro Chirari

My brother and I were talking about senior week. My grandmother mentioned today (okay, it was the first thing she announced) that she was going to sell her condo, so that leaves our family without a summer vacation place to stay. She's had it for 12 years, so it's pretty much the only one I remember.

Anyways...my brother was talking about the place he stayed in when he was there for senior week. So I checked out the website.

He stayed in one of the two penthouses at this one place, and he said it was amazing. Awesome. He loved it. So I was checking the rates. It's $1200 for senior week, so tomorrow I'm going to tell my friends about it. (the other penthouse doesn't allow "graduating seniors" without parents. Only families can use it >_<)

I figure I'll try to get 6 people, and we each chip in $200. Or maybe...4 for $300. Or 8 for $150...or SOMETHING. I'm aiming for 6. Not too much, not too less.

And I'm starting to look for places now, because I know that by January, everything rent-able is going to be taken.

*abandons writing for half an hour*

Right now, I'm trying to translate an article on the Yamapi thing (*obsessed* much?). Someone posted the scan of the article in a Yamapi club, and it's NOT easy to read...so figuring out these kanji is HARD!

Must learn Japanese. Must be determined. Must set goals.

Maybe I'll make a to-do list, but a really big, long term list. One that shall last many many years. And one that I will never abandon.

Be gone, procrastination!

More info on the Yamapi attack *turns to camera two*...Apparently, the guy who poured the stuff on him was a Maki Goto fan (>_<). This Maki Goto - Yamapi thing: supposedly, they went skiing together on a date (O.O), and some photographers got a photo of them. On the other hand, some believe that it was not Yamapi skiing with her, it was her brother (Yuki, who was kicked out of EE Jump because he went to a strip club).

Anyways...This story's getting a lot of attention. Splashing chemicals on a celebrity is not cool. NOT COOL. I heard that the chemicals on Yamapi hit his neck (I believe he was aiming for the face >o<) and his neck was "throbbing". But otherwise unharmed.

They say that the guy woke up from his coma and said "Don't do it again" or something. I also heard that his parents said that he's tried to commit suicide many times (-_-).

Yeah...whatever...All I want to say is: Morning Musume and Maki Goto are overrated. A lot of people think her voice isn't all that great and she won't make as a solo artist (she's leaving MM).

I also would like to talk about Takki's PV for "Ki.Se.Ki" (means "miracle")...The song's pretty good, but the PV is weird. And I shall also admit, it is extremely funny when he's sitting there having a meal, laughing and smiling...while alone. Talking to air.

Blah blah blah blah...School today was boring. The past few years, I've hated my B-days. This year, I hate my A-days! Figures that it's senior year. I guess what adds to it is that I have to carry more things on A-day. My calc book (is HUGE), my spanish books ("Don Quixote", grammar book, and dictionary), and Latin binder.

I have to decide if I'm going to Homecoming this year or not. It's next week. If I am...I NEED A DRESS. I'm thinking I should go..it is the last one...and it's cheaper than last year ($5 compared to $8, I think).

I WISH IT WAS FRIDAY.

O______O (I can't make a suprised face better than that)

Yamapi was attacked! *weeps*

He's not hurt though....*extremely relieved*

From what I've read, some dude went up to him while he was talking to some fans and poured liquid on Yamapi's shoulder. When the fans surrounded the guy, he (the guy) drank liquid from another bottle and is now in a coma. What a happy ending?

...I am very shocked.

That's all I have to say about that.

Listening to: Johnny's Jr - Circle

Aww how cu~~te! There's a picture from Takki and Tsubasa's album, featuring a group of juniors from the Spring Concert. At the top, it has a message from Yamapi that says "Takizawa-kun and Imai-kun, debyuu omodetou gozaimasu. Yamashita Tomohisa" (translates to "congratulations on your debut"). At the bottom, it has the signatures of around 20 other juniors (the only other signature I recognize is Jimmy's, because...it's not in kanji). A couple people in one of the Johnny's Yahoo groups I'm in confirmed that it is Yamapi's writing (wow.)

My birthday's in a we~~~~~~ek!!!

Oh yes, I watched Ultraman the other day. It was funny. They make a lot of little puns which I'm not sure if they were really in the original ("*sees a monster* Hey, it looks like my mother-in-law!"). I also watched Kirby, but then I fell asleep during that ugly wrestling cartoon, woke back up for the second episode of Ultraman, and fell back asleep. When I woke up, it was all humid and my brothers were watching Spongebob.

Back to junior stuff...I have read some reports that 4TOPS (Yamapi, Toma, Kazama, Hasejun) will be the new leaders, but then again, I've also heard that KAT-TUN will be the new leaders. Honestly, I think 4TOPS would be better, because they're...um....more..well known? I don't know...The Yamapi-Toma combination is similar to the Takki-Tsubasa one.

Last night I was looking at the website for the new Arashi movie. SHO LOOKS SO FUNNY...Nino looks pretty good.

Well boys and girls, my stomach hurts and I need to go do homework. So I shall be saying farewell...for now...

Listening to: Arashi - Regress or Progress (Nino)

Woo~~! The Crab Feast was fun. I got there like, 5 minutes early, so I hung out with some friends before going in. We sat down, and played with the bibs that were laid out on the table. Eventually, as more people came in, they started serving food. First they had some appetizers, like corn on the cob and soup and sandwiches, and then they brought out the crabs in bowls (served by some juniors). They were really small, but pretty well-packed.

After eating, people started dancing, cause there was a DJ too. So once everyone was finished, EVERYONE was dancing. At one point, they had a Spongebob Squarepants pinata. When it broke, a lot of people on the ground dove for the candy and toys, and tackled each other (mostly guys -_-). Somewhere along the line, one of my friends got the actual pinata, and carried it around, saying it would be her "homecoming date". I took it from her and ran away. Hehehe...

Did I mention ***** was there? Mighty fine, I must say. Didn't dance with anyone...He's a very religious boy.

Anyways, I got my groove on with some friends. I had to push some others out on the floor sometimes. There were 3 guys with us too, and they were funny. They would always attempt to freak with each other...O.o

At the end, when it was time to go home, we almost decided to go out somewhere for an hour or so (cause most of us had to be back early). Ultimately, they decided on home. So I got a ride home...

Yay!! It was so fun. I wish there was another one. But there will be a lot of chances for more. Homecoming is the closest one...But I'm not sure if I'll go because I would have to find a dress. But I guess it wouldn't be too hard. I have two weeks...

Prom is SO early this year. It's at the beginning of April. Usually it's around mid-May. Then later, there's SENIOR WEEK! Woohoooo!!!!

In unrelated news...Ultraman Tiga will start tomorrow on Fox Kids at 8:30 AM and another episode at 10:00 AM. So watch it! Those are EST, so I'm not sure if it's the same everywhere else?

You know what depresses me? I'm seeing all these little kids...they're like, 11 years old, and they have a domain and their site is beyond all of the internet knowledge that I have at the present time. It's amazing. How do they learn all of it??

The internet is making me mad so I'll be leaving and cursing at it, okay? Okay. Bye bye.

I am thoroughly pissed off at Fanfiction.net. They've taken off ALL of the real people fics. Now it's just...fake people. Non-existant people. BORING. It's no longer fanfiction. It's...NOTHING. Losers. I bet all those complaints were from one person. XP

I mean, it's still a good place for anime and video game fics and stuff like that...But still! That's just so not cool. Evolution my ass. Isn't that like...stripping people of their freedom of speech?

Anyways...Tomorrow is the Senior Crab Feast. I just bought my ticket today. I don't know how many seniors there are--I think it's around 200. But only like, 110 tickets have been sold so far. I hope a lot of people come. It won't be fun if only half of the class is there.

Regarding some previous entries...

My birthday is now only 11 days away. 11 days!!

Yesterday at school wasn't so wasted. I thought it was going to be all day that we were discussing things, but it was only 5 minutes. Plus, we had a sub at the time that we were supposed to have our minutes of silence. So right after, the sub continued the movie we were watching (Stonehenge, YAY! *sar~cas~m*)

The Cowboy Bebop episodes. I only watched those 5. I told my mom I'd finish on Tuesday and Wednesday, so that she could take them back today (Thursday). But I think she took them yesterday or something. 'Cause I don't think they were here yesterday.

On the other hand, my mom's co-worker wants to trade: I make her a CD with some jpop songs on it, she gives me Fruits Basket episodes. Hehehe...I'll probably fill it up with Arashi and V6 and other Johnny's groups. I dunno...Maybe some Gackt...Utada Hikaru...the only Porno Graffitti song I've heard (Music Hour). Maybe I should give her my To Heart episodes too.

But I also wonder...Should I make a song CD or just burn the MP3s onto the CD?

I told my brother to wake me up early on Saturday so that I could see Ultraman. Hahhahah...Whenever I'm looking at ANY page, he'll come over and say "...Ultraman?"

Have I mentioned that I've been playing Super Mario Sunshine non-stop? I played it today, but didn't get too much. Just a few blue coins. I've gotten 89 shine sprites--far from how much I had the last time I spoke of my progress. I beat it once. It took me a couple times to beat Bowser, cause whenever the thing started breaking, I'd get hit by the green stuff and would be momentarily stunned, so then I wouldn't have enough time to jump back onto the main part. But then I finally got it! Yayy...now I have the hawaiian shirt with shine sprites on it.

I should also mention that I finally got a new wallpaper on my desktop. It was a picture of Gackt for about...6 months. Now it's a character portrait of Sora from Kingdom Hearts. I got it at the official website, but I erased the Kingdom Hearts logo because it got in the way. Now it's all white...So my eyes have to adjust when I'm sitting in the dark. -_-;

And now I have to go! Later.

Listening to: Utada Hikaru - Deep River

Woohoo I got an application for NYU today. Hahhahha....*won't get in*...but I'm filling it out anyway. Well I'm filling out the paper application now, but I'll most likely send in the online one.

I will probably major in Computer Science. Haven't decided on a minor...probably a language. Possibly Chinese or Japanese...or Latin. NOT SPANISH! I am done with spanish after this year. NEVER AGAIN! I've taken it 7 years, and I'm not continuing!

Oya...Senior Crab Feast is this Friday. Friday the 13th. O.O It was funny though, in Latin. This guy said that he couldn't go because he's going to Ohio to look at colleges. So the rest of us were like "Let's compare. OHIO.....CRABS....Hmm....I wonder?"

I hate Yahoo messenger. IT NEVER TAKES OFF THAT DAMN EMAIL NOTIFICATION! *kicks Yahoo!*

I went to this neighborhood picnic on Saturday. It was fun. There were SO many little kids running around. There have been like...3 generations of little kids in the neighborhood. First it was my brothers and some of their friends. Then it was me and my friends. Now it's this huge group of kids ranging from 5-12. INSANITY.

Ah yes...that Takki/Tsubasa thing comes out this Wednesday -- 9/11 of course.

I was sitting in Latin remembering that it was that class last year that I was in when we heard. First, the teacher's aide came in and told the teacher (they were standing behind me so I heard it), but I didn't think much of it. So then, 5 minutes later, the principal announced it. We stopped class, and since the TV wasn't working, we listened to the radio (oh how helpful -_-*). And all these students were getting picked up by their parents because of all the paranoia.

And now I'm playing with my buddy icons. I was choosing some new ones the other day, but I didn't put them into effect. It always takes so long just to receive it.

And the emoticons for this skin is screwed up.

I have no school tomorrow~~ Yayyyy!

JUST A REMINDER! My birthday is in exactly 2 weeks. You hear? TWO WEEKS. I'll be counting down the days. Should I make a wishlist? ...Maybe for the important things. Last year, I made a Christmas list, and either got everything on it or nothing on it. So it was pointless. And there was no element of suprise! That sucked.

"The FBI is warning local police, electrical companies and transportation agencies that it has received a steady stream of threats that mention New York and Washington in relation to the anniversary of Sept. 11 attacks.".

That just ain't cool, yo. I heard from one of my teachers that Wednesday will basically be a wasted day because we're commemorating 9/11 and such. And we are encouraged to wear red, white, and blue. I'll probably just wear my Ralph Lauren flag tee and jeans. Yes? Simple. Maybe a ribbon if my mom has some? I don't think she does.

And BOAHFOWIEHAP~! (That means...Be On A Happy Frisbee Or Weird Iguanas Intentionally Excite Hair And Pears. Or maybe it's just some jibberish I made up) I mean...Adios!

SCARY~~...

Some guy from Japan is talking to me about Utada Hikaru's new marraige...and that his daughter is blah blah years old and in blah blah years, and if she got married at Utada's age, it would only be blah blah years from now....!??! I dunno...but this guy obviously speaks no English and is using a translator because it only uses "it" like all those online translators say.

Yeah...um..dude...stop talking to me.

On WinMX, I always get foreign people talking to me. Not that it's always that bad. It's just....you never understand them and they never understand you. We must break down this evil language barrier! *karate chop*

...*leaves without a trace*

Wow! Who knew? Utada Hikaru got married today to a photographer/video director (it says at this site that he did the photos for one of her albums and produced 3 of her recent PVs)...Well...yesterday, actually. The 6th. Next thing you know, she'll be pregnant (coughcoughBrandycough...not that I don't like Brandy! But didn't it seem all so sudden?)

And wait, how old is she? 19? Still a student at Columbia? A mere two years older than yours truly?

O_O

In other news...

I watched the first 5 episodes of Cowboy Bebop. Not bad...not bad. If I was awake more, I probably would've enjoyed it more, but my eyes hurt and I kept yawning. Ep5 was interesting though.

Grr...one of my IE windows locked up, so I'll save this before it goes down with it. Sayonara

Listening to: V6 - Dasenai Tegami

Something related to last entry -- Today, during dinner, we were watching the "Fox Box", which was showing a bunch of previews of the fall lineup for the Saturday Morning. It was hosted by the two kids from Spy Kids. Anyways...it got to Ultraman Tiga, and I was like "DON'T CHANGE IT!" So we watched it, and I explained that the guy who plays Ultraman Tiga (Nagano, of course) is in V6. I couldn't help but laugh a little...

So right now, I'm watching the PV to Dasenai Tegami. My brother walked in and said "Is that Ultraman??" and I nodded happily.

Also, last night I found out that Taka(aki), from Utaban and a bunch of other things...is Tanaka in "Major League II" (which I haven't seen in years. He's in the third one too, but I didn't see it). It blew my mind. He's the one that goes "You have no--[pulls out Japanese-English dictionary and searches around]--MARBLES!" OH MAN! I still can't believe it. If you've seen that, I think you might find it funny too. Maybe it's just that he's talking English.

  • That's about it. Unfortunately. Or maybe fortunately, for you guys. Hahaha

    Listening to: Mandy Moore - Only Hope

    Okay okay....normally I don't listen to Mandy Moore TOO much, but on Tuesday, we rented "a Walk to Remember" and it is SO SMEEPING CUTE. Plus, I can't get this song out of my head, so I decided to download it. The rental is good for a week, 2 days longer than the original 5 days. I don't know why. Blockbuster is just going nuts.

    Yesterday (as in, Friday), I went to see Austin Powers again. My cousin really wanted to see it, even though we knew she wouldn't understand half of it (she didn't, for the record). We went to Muvico (no I did not spell it wrong), at Arundel Mills. I had never been there before, though I had been to the rest of Arundel Mills quite a few times.

    I've been playing a lot of "Super Mario Sunshine" the past 3 days. I've gotten 4 stages and like, 25 shine sprites. But I don't know exactly how far that is. It's probably like...10%.

    AND THAT TRAITOR! My brother! HE GOT AN XBOX!!! It was down to a PS2 or an XBox. I was so angry the day they got it, I refused to talk to them. They keep trying to convince me that the XBox is better, because the PS2 came out 2 years ago, and there aren't any good games for it, and that I will only want a couple games. BUT THAT'S COMPELTELY FALSE! I want BILLIONS of games for the PS2. It's just the one I want MOST is Kingdom Hearts (17 days, people! 17 days! ...Or maybe closer to 18)

    Anyways...about that electric darts thing that V6 did on Utaban which I wrote about in the last entry...I'm downloading the darts part on WinMX. I also got about 5 seconds of the "Kiseki no Hajimari". Nothing much. Doesn't even show the V6 guys yet.

    I have a cold. I've been sneezing and blowing my nose a lot. :(

    My uncle and cousin leave later today. It'll be weird, cause I've been hanging around them for 3 weeks straight.

    More about the whole XBox deal...I only played one game. They got Jedi Starfighter, Munch's something (I don't really care), and Project Gotham something. The Project Gotham thing was the only one I played. It's a bit like Gran Turismo. Anyways, we had to name our player and you could change the license plate too, so my player was named "ShineGet", because (1)Only 8 characters fit, and (2)I had been playing an excessive amount of Mario Sunshine, and in the Japanese version, they say "Shine Get!" when you get a Shine Sprite. My (Japanese) license plate says "Pockie". I could've gotten a California plate, a European plate, a Japanese plate, or New York (I think). Anyways, it's really fun and you can rack up quite a bit of damage.

    I didn't go to the school dance on Thursday. I didn't know anyone who was going, and I'm sick, so being sick and in a really really really hot gym with about a thousand freshmen was not my idea of fun. Homecoming seems to be at the end of this month, so I'm sure I'll go to that.

    Anything else to share? No? Nothing? AT ALL!? WHAT'S GOING ON!?

    Oh, I should remind myself to sign up for the upcoming SATs and start college applications! So there's my reminder.

    That's all. Adios~

    Listening to: Arashi - Hoshi no Freeway

    First day of school report~~!!

    First period, Spanish 5 AP, is INSANE! I understood everything for the most part, but then the little class things that we have to do confused me beyond belief, and when we were doing this activity talking about ourselves, I had no idea what to say. I'm so much better at writing.

    Second period, Calc, was better than I expected. I was completely freaked about the summer packet, 'cause I only did like, 80% of it. But I turned it anyway. I don't know that many people in my class, but it's still cool. The teacher is funny.

    Third period is Latin. I have no friends in the class, but Latin is so easy anyway. We did some reviewing and I refreshed my memory which was in much need of refreshing. I had second lunch, which a couple of friends have too! Yay!

    Fourth period is of course, my aiding period. I get to aide everyday ^_______^. I actually had to do some stuff today. I had to collect some papers and assign lockers. Assigning lockers is a HARD JOB! I had to do it in alphabetical order, which makes it even harder because I had no idea who anyone was in the class, except some random few who are a little popular in the high school circuit. When the teacher introduced me, she was like "This is Alison, she's my aide; She's taken pascal and c++ and is really smart and did really well on the AP test, and can help you if you need it. So if I'm not available, ask Alison!" Me: ".......*blush*". I blushed because....Oh I shall not ("sha'nt"? That's what my calc teacher said) write it here.

    I forgot to mention that Rebekah, my cousin's girlfriend's cousin, goes to my school too. I had found it out on the last day of Otakon, when Michelle (see Otakon entry #2 for more info) and co drove me home. We passed my school and they were like "That's Rebekah's school". So this morning, I was standing in the hall among some friends, and she came up to me. All day, I was pondering what her name was. I knew it started with an R, but I couldn't remember all day. I kept thinking Rachel, but I remember it had an odd spelling. So finally, I checked here where I write everything, and now I know.

    When I came home, I took a really nice nap. I didn't get much sleep, like always whenever I have something to do the next day. I got to sleep around 2 I think, and woke up at 5:45. Nearly 4 hours. How nice.

    Then dinner, and then my mom and I went to the market. I drove! I was doing really good until we returned, and I had to back into the driveway. My mom says I don't turn the wheel enough. I got down the driveway, but when we reached the garage, I was way off. So I got out and my mom finished the task.

    And then I read a transcript of a Utaban episode in which V6 was on at Senshi Gakuen's V6 Degrees of Separation (it's under misc translations). They talked about how Utada Hikaru said that Okada was her kind of guy, and that if he needed someone with money, she had it. I like Utada and all, but she's straying into deadly territory!! lolll just kidding.

    At the end, they had this dart thing. If they landed on a part that said someone's name, they would get an electric shock, or if it landed on a part that said everybody, ALL the members would get shocked. The first two who went were Ken and Okada, and they both landed on Nagano. Go went third, and landed on "everybody", so everyone was shocked. It says that Sakamoto curled up in a ball from the shocks.

    Sakamoto went last, but Taka, one of the hosts, actually pressed the button before he even threw the dart. He said that the people "upstairs" were telling him to do it. When he finally does throw it, it lands on everybody, so everyone is shocked again. Finally, they perform "Feel your Breeze", but while being shocked. So apparently, it doesn't sound like the song at all.

    Anyways, it's nearing 10 PM and my parents are yelling, so I shall be on my way. Jaaaaaaaaaaa~~~~~~~~~~~

    Listening to: V6 - Dasenai Tegami

    Don't you hate it when random people IM you and then ask who you are? I HATE THAT! They're like "you're on my buddy list, but I don't know who you are, so I'm just IMing you and taking up your time so I can find out why I put you here."

    Well at least this person has a reason. Their cousin put my screenname (along with KIM's and Alex's). I believe it's the cousin of someone from the Noah chat. HAHAH! That's so old...

    It just so happens that I had just gotten a new Trillian skin and I couldn't find the "Info" button in the sea of buttons. They didn't have anything in their profile anyway.

    The other day, I was talking to my cousin who just returned home to CA. The only thing that bugs me: the newbie kind of talk ("ic", "wat r u doing"), bad grammar (Seriously, he asked me "so is r ya talkin to ur cuz", meaning "Are you talking to your cousin" because he wanted to ask another cousin of mine a question. I replied "I have absolutely no idea what you just said."), and bad font color (red font on blue background).

    LOL "Do you know tyler lock?" This person just asked me. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA

    Speaking of Taylor, when I was at Hershey Park, I saw someone who almost looked like a mix between Taylor and Robert. The scary thing: I couldn't completely tell if they were female or male. They had Taylor's odd hairstyle and Robert's eyebrows.

    Oy school starts tomorrow. I'm not all that nervous...Maybe a little excited to see some friends and check out my new classes. I have Latin 3rd period...I wonder who else will be in that class? I love Latin. And then I aide 4th period (I felt bad because I was supposed to take Marine Science with my friend, but honestly, I have no interest in it so I dropped it)

    Time to eat dinner. ADIOS SUCKAS

    Listening to: Arashi - Theme of Arashi

    "The Japanese music-video program began with videos from Ayumi Hamasaki (Japan's version of Madonna) and Morning Musume--a perpetually happy, 13-member girl group prancing in saris--and concluded with a Gackt tour video, which included dancing cats and tigers."

    LOL! That was at Otakon. I clearly remember that. I couldn't stand Ayumi's voice. And then they played "U+K" later on, and all the J-rock dork guys in the middle laughed their asses off. They skipped the cat-bondage though. They should've included that.

    Today I went to dinner with some of my Mom's family. Basically, I spent the whole day with my 3 year old cousin. She's so cuuute! I forget all the details, but my grandmother kept talking about when my cousin asked her mom and dad "..Am I cuuute?"

    Before we left their house, I noticed the Pocky boxes on top of their fridge. POCKY! Apparently, she gets 3 sticks every morning. It used to be 2, but one day her mom gave her 3 and she would never settle for less.

    And....I'm bored.

    Listening to: Arashi - Ima Ai o Go Rou

    I returned today from a two-day Ocean City trip. I was determined to get a tan that had been hiding from me all summer. And I got it! I'm still not as dark as I used to get when I was a kid and spent all day, seven days a week at the beach. It was only two days this time, but I got significantly darker. I also got burnt on my back. IT HURTS! IT HURTS!

    Went to the boardwalk both days. It was pretty fun. All I can say is that I don't think I've ever eaten so many fries so fast. Thrashers rules!

    Anyways, right now, I'm spending some time with my dear computer, and I have to print out a Cheesecake Factory menu for my aunt, because we're going there tomorrow night for my brother's birthday (runonsentencerunonsentence). I'm also doing some Microsoft Update thing, but it's taking forever so I might just cancel it.

    Last time I was on the computer (which must've been last week), I downloaded the mpeg that Nino's "Shougai Nani ga Attemo Aisuru Hito E" was taken from. I found out that Sho's the one doing the introduction. Anyways, it's only like, 25% or something. I haven't gotten to the good parts!

    Oh dude.....this menu's huge. It's all split up too. Should I print them all out or just paste them together in Word?

    I worked on my Calculus packet when I was in OC. I did some while drying off a little at the pool, then some more after taking a shower, and then some this morning before leaving the hotel.

    And GRR I wish people wouldn't rename files so much. I almost downloaded something I already had!

    AHHH I think I'm going to cry. I am reading this (bad) translation of some article from a magazine. It had Yamapi's messages to 3 girls in his life. The first one was his grandmother, the second was the actress who played his sister in "Kabachitare" and his teacher in "Long Love Letter". The third is to his future daughter. IT'S SO CUTE!!!!!!!! "One day, if my daughter brings home her boyfriend, surely I'll be VERY angry and plan to destroy their relationship!". He says that the mother will give their daughter her name, and if they have a son, he'll name him. He also talks about helping her study, especially English because he can ask Jimmy about it (he calls him "Uncle Jimmy" LOL).

    I was just on a four-day trip to PA. It was cool. The first day, we went to Gettysburg, and did the whole tour. It was fun, but HOT. Very HOT! Most of the time, we were on the nice cool bus, but sometimes we had to stand out in the sun. Bad. BAD I TELL YOU.

    The next day, we set out for Hershey. We got there around 10, and split up. My cousin and I went straight to the "Splash Zone" of the water ride (ahh I forgot the name of it...it was "Tidal" something. Or vice-versa). After a few good soaks, we left and went to go on some other rides. When it was time to meet up with the others, we passed that ride again and got a few more soaks. At one point, we both decided that our backs were being deprived of soaking, so we turned around. One of the times, it hit us directly, and my cousin's sunglasses flew off and he never found them again. It was so funny...I couldn't believe he lost his sunglasses like that. I kept laughing at it whenever it was brought up.

    After we met up with his parents, sister, and our grandma, we went to eat lunch. For a couple more hours, we walked around. We almost went on the ferris wheel, but I swear, they were only using like, 5 of the 20 car things, because they had to keep it "balanced". So the line wasn't moving at all (and it was really short too!), and we left. For dinner, which was around 8 or 9, we went to Applebees and had a nice discussion about current events.

    The next day, we slept in some, and then went to "Chocolate world". First, we ate some brunch. Then we saw the "Really Big 3-D Show!!" and took the tour (each were about 15 minutes). For the rest of the afternoon, I believe we went to the hotel pool. For dinner, we went to some place, and then visited the Hershey Hotel and walked around the garden.

    Yesterday, we drove to the Lancaster outlets. At the beginning of the day, I had like, $50, but at the end, I only had $8. I bought a pair of sandals (SO cute and fit perfectly! ^_^), some makeup, and some undies (Hey, who ever knew there was no sales tax on clothes in PA?). Had some smorgasboard (sp?) for dinner, as well as seeing some Amish people and buggies. My brother said that some people put radios and subwoofers in their buggies secretly. Isn't that against the rules?

    I start school next week. Well...today's Saturday, so it's not this coming week, but the week after that. I CAN'T BELIEVE SUMMER'S OVER ALREADY!! I might go back to Ocean City with the cousins for a couple days. I haven't been on the computer much lately..huh. I've had to watch my cousins a bit, even though they don't really need it, but they play-fight a lot, and the younger one (an older brother and a younger sister) is only 10, so I have to watch out for them. Even though they annoy the hell out of me sometimes.

    I'm trying to catch up on some Johnny's news, but the one site that I ALWAYS use hasn't updated since the end of June. -_-;; So sad. I hope it doesn't close. Or if it does close, I hope they just leave it up as it is. So much info could go to waste!

    While in PA, I listened to my V6 "Volume 6" nonstop. I actually should stop, because at 28 seconds into "Jounetsu no Rainbow", it pauses and I have to fast forward it a bit or wait like, a minute before it comes back.

    I should get back to entertaining the cousins. Adios!

    Today is Saturday, eh? Yes. Today is Saturday.

    I just cleaned out my WinMX shared folder. Now I only have 15 files. I used to have...oh...must've been around 50. Hahhahahahha

    Today my relatives are coming from CA. We're debating on who will pick them up and what car to take and blah blah blah.

    Aayy I have to do that freakish Calculus summer packet. *shudders* All of my knowledge of mathematics has disappeared. I am hopeless.

    ..Mmmmmm......Fisher's Popcorn...*drool*. This one container I have now...All the popcorn is stuck together, so I don't know what I'm going to do (BTW, the Fisher's popcorn that I have now is the caramel popcorn).

    It is currently 82.6­°.

    I saw the new Austin Powers movie the other day, while in Ocean City. I thought it was the funniest out of the three. I really liked the cameos.

    We saw it at this theater which was practically empty when we got there. They said they were having problems with the ticket machine, so we were told to just go right in (a couple minutes into the movie, one of the workers came in and said "here's your tickets"...even though we didn't really need them!). So there's like, 4 other people at this showing when we get there. During the previews, these two guys sit RIGHT in front of me and my mom. Out of the entire selection of seats...they sit in front of us. It wasn't that bad though. I just had to sit up straight to see.

    Ahh...I'm going to go take a shower. I feel filthy...

    DAMMMMMMMIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

    The beach was fine. I went down there once, but then the next day, it got a little colder, and stayed like that for the rest of the week, so I never went again. Went outlet shopping up in Rehobeth. There are some RABID people there. We had been driving around the parking lot looking for a space, and we found one and my mom signaled for it, and then some old lady in an SUV went in really fast. AND THEN SHE STARTED LAUGHING AT US. I was soooooooo angry. AND I'M ANGRY RIGHT NOW, SO NOW I'M TWICE AS ANGRY. DAMMIT. DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hopefully, listening to Yama-kun, Hasejun, Toma, and Kazama sing "U-wa U-wa" will cheer me up, but it's not doing so well. I almost have the dance to this song down.

    Back to the trip to the beach...There were billions of ladybugs crawling on the ceiling. Okay...there were like...5. And they were only on the ceiling. But they kinda annoyed me for the first half of the week. Then I got used to them. There was one huge moth in my room, but I caught in in a cup while it was sitting on the wall.

    There were a lot of people there from Pennsylvania. It was like, 45% Pennsylvanians, 45% Marylanders, 5% New Yorkers, 2% New Jersey-ers (?), and 3% other.

    Last year, I was awakened by some sort of dump truck one morning. And it only happened one morning. THIS YEAR, it happened like, 3 days in a row. The first day, I got up and slept on the couch, but then when my dad woke up, he opened the front door to let some air in (and this dump truck is still going), so I went to sleep in my parent's room. I never found out what was really going on. I'm assuming it's a dump truck, because I'd hear crashing, then beeping (when the truck is going in reverse), then a machine humming, then crashing, repeat, repeat, etc. This goes on for an hour or so.

    I thought that I'd have some sort of email overflow when I returned, but to my suprise.....I only had one! I was mightily disappointed. I like getting email, but not spam. The only email I got was something that said someone was sending me the Klez virus, but the "Postmaster" stopped it. In my Yahoo emails, I had a lot of spam, a couple newsletters, and a reply from this girl who asked me where I got my Johnny's Jr MP3s.

    Another thing I'd like to add to the list of public disturbances at the beach...some kids were setting off firecrackers and fireworks on the beach at like, 2 in the morning. I wasn't sleeping by then, but even if I was, I probably wouldn't have heard it because my room was the farthest away (our condo was oceanside, and my room was in the front while my parents was in the back, closest to the beach). Sometimes they were really cool, but sometimes they were just a nuisance.

    Why am I getting a Tony and a Phil both downloading the "First Love" PV from me at the same time?

    AND I'M STILL REALLY ANGRY ABOUT ALL OF MY INCOMPLETE FILES GONE. They didn't even burn them to a CD or anything??? NOTHING!? NOTHINGGGGG!!!!!!????????!!!!!!!!!???????

    *is seething with anger*

    Oy! It's August already?!

    I leave for the beach on Saturday, and won't return until the next Friday or Saturday. It hasn't been decided yet. It's probably going to be Friday though, because maybe traffic will be a little lighter and my relatives are coming on Saturday night.

    DUDE! I forgot about this Calculus packet I have to do. I don't have to start it until the 20th or something.

    What's with all these kidnappings?? Are all those pedophiles and perverts banding together to form a huge uprising in child/teen girl kidnappings?!?!? *is never going outside again*

    Oh yeah...I forgot...V6's new album came out yesterday. That's pretty quick, isn't it? I think the last album (Volume 6) came out in August 2001. I got the whole Change the World PV and the Feel Your Breeze PV. It hurts to look at Okada in the Feel Your Breeze one.

    Last night, I was on WinMX downloading the Feel... PV from someone. Unfortunately...they didn't speak English. They sent me a message but I couldn't reply because I had no idea what they were saying! It was just symbols, with "Feel Your Breeze" in the middle of it. I was thinking about sending something back that said "sorry, I only know English" but they probably wouldn't understand it like I didn't understand them.

    And ah...I have abandoned writing this once more so I'll just leave.

    Listening to: Arashi - Typhoon Generation

    Ahhhh...I'm reading translated Fruits Basket manga. YUKI IS SO DAMN CUTE! "I'm thinking of things that I'd like to do...The fireworks, the festivals, the sea...make memories of them together....with Honda-san" "! *Tohru is suprised*" "You don't want to..." "EH!? Tha-that's not what, it's not that I don't want..." "If you refuse...I'll just have to kidnap you...so be ready" "!!? *really suprised*" "...or whatever". The reason I love this is because I have heard of a theory that Yuki may be based on Yama-kun.

    This chapter (35) seems to revolve around Yuki, while chapter 34 revolved around Kyou (and his father-son relationship with Kazuma). There's one part in Ch. 34 when chibi-Kyou is crying (after his mom committed suicide) and he looks SO-DAMN-CUTE. On the other hand, in Ch. 33, I almost cried at the end (yeah...I weeped at a comic) when Kyou hugs Tohru, just because she stayed with him.

    If you'd like to read these, they're here. Just remember to read the bubbles right to left!

    Speaking of online comic things, I read all of that MegaTokyo comic in two days. I actually skipped a couple, because every so often, there's just some filler page that has nothing to do with the story. Anyways, it's so funny and I love the art!

    The creators of this MegaTokyo thing were at Otakon, but I didn't see them. Jeremy and Michelle were supposed to. For the first panel, there was a HUGE line and a lot of confusion as to where the end of the line was (Jeremy explained it to me -- One line started to the left of the room and went right around the corner, and another line started on the right and went left around the corner. So you know what that means? The two lines merged into one at the middle). Apparently, he and Michelle just jumped in somewhere close but decided to leave so they wouldn't upset anyone. They got a pass for the late night "overflow" panel (panel for those who missed the first), which was scheduled for midnight. They didn't go, but even if they did, they wouldn't have gotten in because Jeremy said they lost the passes. In a matter of a couple hours. Ha.

    I keep forgetting that the beach is this weekend. So will be in computer withdrawl for a week. And probably another 2 weeks after that, because the cousins from CA are visiting.

    Someone propped up my Latin Exam certificate and medal by the TV, so out of the corner of my eye, it looks like the TV is on or something. It's really annoying me.

    Ahh It's quite late....*falls asleep*....*wakes up* So I'm going to bed.

    AH~! Mandy Moore does the voice of Aerith. Apparently they're going back to "Aerith" instead of "Aeris". "Aerith" sounds so lisp-y. But I'm probably going to get flamed for that, so I'll move on.

    I bet Lance (of *Nsync) does Cloud. Either Cloud or Squall. It has to be.

    AHHHH I WANT THIS GAME!! I saw an import of it today when we went to Pandora's Cube so my brother could return his Slayers box set. Unfortunately, all of the box sets were like that, so he'll probably have to wait like, a month until they fix the problem.

    Must get PS2 first...

    Things about the dealers room at Otakon:

    -The most of any Johnny's group that I saw in the dealer's room was V6, suprisingly enough. I didn't get any though. I saw a couple Kinki Kids albums, and maybe a concert DVD. No Arashi, no Jrs (obviously...Jr's don't release ANYTHING. Except Ya-ya-ya)

    -That one guy -- Robert Dejesus -- was making these personalized anime ID cards (he'd draw a little caricature of you), but he was flooded with requests, so when we got to him he wouldn't do anymore. But the guy next to him was advertising and stuff. He was like "You can't get one of the personalized ones, but with $30,000, you can buy Bob himself! That's pretty cheap, you know. The real money is spent on feeding him and buying him beer!"

    -Last year, I saw a Silent Bob cosplayer (who looked just like him. Though it's not THAT hard, is it? Just have to get the facial hair right) in the dealers room. This time, I saw him in the art hall.

    -Hide speakers. I heard the seller talking to a customer. She was like "Yeah, you plug em into your computer or a portable CD player"

    -Aya, Ken, and Omi cosplayers saying "WE HAVE TO FIND A YOHJI!!" because they wanted a picture of them all together.

    ...That's all.

    Ah yes, and I just got the "All or Nothing Ver. 1.02". The only thing that's different is Sho's little rap banter in between verses. Everything else is the same. And they replaced Nino saying "Know what I mean?" with Sho saying it. I have to redo my burned CD of this anyway. I forgot a song the last time I did it (-_-;). I knew there was SOMETHING missing!

    I also imagine that I'm going to get that Para Para video copy next week. Michelle and Jeremy will be at the beach the same week as my family, so...yeah. Probably go shopping at the Rehobeth outlets. WOO.

    AHhhHHH~~..scary!

    ...Nothing new to download....!! Everything that's coming up, I already have!! Or...I don't have any special interest in. Nya~

    Listening to: Arashi - Nemura nai Karada

    More Otakon talk ^__^ hehee

    OKAY! Saturday. We all agreed to go later, around noon instead of getting there when it opens at 9. So I got some much needed sleep. First I wrote the last entry, then like, 5 minutes later, my cousin came to pick us up. We went over to his girlfriend's house, and the five of us (me, brother, cousin, girlfriend, her sister) squished into her little car. I was in the middle in the back -- not fun. I listened to my Arashi CD the whole way. She decided not to park in the Bank of America parking garage again, because it closes at 12 or something, and we were thinking about staying really late, so...we went to another garage that closed at 1. Blah.

    We immediately broke up into groups. My cousin, his girlfriend, and her sister went to the Megatokyo thing (I'm still not sure what it is, but the poster they picked up somewhere was really cute -- "I thought you said this was supposed to be Capture the B33R" or something like that, when the other one is holding a little teddy bear). My brother and I went to Panel 1, where the Yasuhiro Nightow panel was going to start in about a half an hour. The panel before that, for Tatsuo Sato, wasn't too crowded, so we nabbed front row. When it ended, people started piling in and even before the guests got there, the room was packed. And let me tell you, Panel 1 is the biggest panel room I think. It was HUGE. It's like, 20 times the size of my bedroom. Anyways...they finally arrived, but it was actually a MadHouse panel because I think they rescheduled some of the other guests so they could be in on Nightow's panel. It was mostly Haruyama Masao (a producer) talking. It was really funny because he would talk a LOT, and the translator had to write everything down so he could read it back. At one point, he was talking and talking, and Minowa Yutaka (artist), Nightow, and Tatsuo (who was kind of a special guest) were laughing and fanning the translator with the fan that Haruyama brought. They also talked about Gungrave, a game in which Nightow was Character Designer. He called it a "no-intelligence game" (He said it in English, which was hilarious. He said "bideo game" -- video game, of course -- and then "no intelligence game"). They showed some clips from it. They also talked about Ninja Scroll, and a bunch of other things about other animes and new announcements. When they were done with their "talk", they did some audience questions. They were mostly for Nightow, and one guy started off with "I just wanted to say, YOU ROCK *gives him thumbs up*". Since Nightow had no idea what he said, all he could do was give the thumbs up back, in the same way the guy did it.

    By then, it was around 2 I think, so my brother went to the Autograph Hall (which was in the Art Hall too), and I went off to watch the J-pop/J-rock videos, which had already started. They played 2 Utada Hikaru videos ("Traveling" and "Can You Keep a Secret"). There were two guys behind me who were REALLY loud and I wanted to make them shutup. Anyways, it got really boring when they started showing all those Dragon Ash videos (no offense, but...I can't stand them), so I left to go see how my brother was doing in line. My brother said that my cousin and his girlfriend were there in the art/autograph hall too, so I went to go talk to them. My cousin's girlfriend said that he was getting his picture taken a LOT. If you saw a tall Asian guy with glasses dressed as Aoshi from Rurouni Kenshin hanging out with another Asian girl dressed as Misao, with them holding hands a lot and kissing sometimes, that was my cousin and his girlfriend (hahha). Back to my brother. Before he got there, they were giving out tickets so that you would be guaranteed an autograph. Of course....my brother was the first in line who DIDN'T have one. Anyway, we thought he'd have a pretty good chance to get one anyway (we took the shiny cover thing from one of our Trigun DVDs to get autographed). He was pretty far back, so I left with my cousin and his girlfriend to the video game room (which was kinda next door). We just sat around because everything was packed with people. After a while, my brother stomped in really angry, because they said that Nightow had an interview directly after the autograph session, so anyone without a ticket had to leave. He was SOOO ANGRY. He had been waiting for an hour and a half, and he was the FIRST one without a ticket. My cousin's girlfriend thought we might be hungry because we hadn't eaten anything yet, so we went to the Bank of America to that pizza/pasta place next to Burger King (I forgot the name -_-;). I got this big plate of spaghetti, even though I wasn't too hungry. So I didn't finish it, but my brother ate some of the rest.

    We went back and met my cousin + GF at the Ishida Yoko panel. It was just the panel, so not many people were there. She didn't even talk that much. It was mostly the guy from Pioneer talking, asking the audience how they think Pioneer should market their music and stuff. Most people were like "Make it more authentic because making it too American-ized, like dubbing, makes us feel stupid" and "Let the people come to you, don't force your products on the distributors here" and "Have more extra stuff". Blah blah blah.

    Later, the "How to Para Para" panel started, so we moved up to the front. We thought that Ishida would be dancing, but she wasn't even there! It was the Para Para girls and Para Para boys. The girls were straight from Japan. One had just turned 20, which is the drinking age in Japan, so she thought she could drink here in the US (LOL). So they started, breaking down the dances into pieces, but they were still going too fast!! No one got it except the people who knew some of it already. Plus the fact that all these chairs were in the way, and we didn't have much room. At one point, I hit some girl in the head with my hand who was sitting in front of me. WHY WAS SHE SITTING, especially RIGHT THERE?? It was front row! There was also some guy two seats to the left of her, and I almost hit him. When they finished, I still had no idea what I was doing.

    I believe we left to go eat dinner, but I wasn't that hungry after all that damn pasta so I just got some "Broadway Fries" -- I thought they were "Boardwalk Fries", but they weren't -- and a soda. When we went back, we didn't know what to do, so we decided to go stop by the video gaming room again. I raced my cousin's girlfriend's cousin, who's actually 2 years younger than me (I thought she was my age or a year older or younger) to the doors to the street (the one that goes through the center) and won! I don't think I have ever run so fast. I knew we weren't supposed to run, but suprisingly we didn't get caught, even though there was a security guard sitting right there. I slowed down a couple times, but I still won! Hahha...

    The Para Para boys (who are American) were sitting out near the entrance to the Video gaming room and the Art Hall with a cd player, dancing to the Para Para songs. My brother (Tim), cousin (Jeremy), and girlfriend (Michelle) went down to the room, but me, my cousin's girlfriend's sister (Grace), her cousin (Rebekah), and Rebekah's friend (Adam) stayed there (Yeah, it's getting annoying writing all that out so I'm giving everyone's names). Rebekah had talked to the really good Para Para boy dancer (another Tim) earlier at the panel, so she decided to ask if they could give us a lesson. Eventually, she got a lesson from some other dancer guy, and Michelle (my bro, Jeremy, and her had returned from the VG room), Grace, and I got a lesson from Tim the dancer. It was only one dance to one song though. He recommended we get the instructional video to learn, and gave us his email, phone # (!?), and a website to visit.

    Since the Para Para people were packing up and seemed to be leaving, we decided to go and pop into some other anime parody -- this one was the "This is Otakudom" parody. It was HILARIOUS and I didn't fall asleep! It was mainly Evangelion stuff ("KENDO!" "Oh. Baby."). Asuka's voice was SO FUNNY ("IT'S NOT A TUMOR!"). We only stayed for the first part. Right before the end of the first part, I went to go to the bathroom. The guy at the door stopped me and said that if I left now, I couldn't go back in. Eventually, I persuaded him to let me back in when I got back, so off I went. When I got back, they were leaving anyway. They decided to call Grace, Rebekah, and Adam, who had left in the middle of it to go wander around, so we could go find them. My brother had to go to the bathroom, so I waited while they walked on. I had no idea where they went, so when Tim came out, I went down the hall where they supposedly said they were going. We went down the hall, down the next hall, down the NEXT hall (where the "rave" was going on), and down the stairs to where we had been earlier, learning how to Para Para. They were nowhere in sight, so I called them on my cell phone. Jeremy answered and said that they were upstairs by the registration. Which was on the other side of the bathrooms (-____________-)

    When we finally met up, we just sat around for a little. Grace, Rebekah, and Adam were playing Uno, so after watching a game, I joined in. After a couple turns, they piled the "Draw 4" cards on ME so I had to draw like, 12. Right in the middle of the game, Rebekah's mom called so she and Adam had to go. We left too, because we were only hanging around waiting for Rebekah and Adam's ride to come.

    In the car, I explained to everyone why they always give their Bloodtype as a stat. Also, I forgot to mention, on the way to the "Otakudom" parody, I explained what Yaoi was to Jeremy and Michelle (they had seen some guy carrying a sign that said something like "Will Yaoi for Money"). Jeremy was confused though, because he had seen a girl with the same sign, and it made no sense if it was male×male stuff.

    When we got home, my parents and my other brother (Greg) were watching CNN about those miners being rescued. We got home right when they pulled the first one out (About 1 AM). I'm suprised it only took 15 minutes for each one to get out. And that they're all alive and well! For 3 days? SHEESH.

    Now for SUNDAY! (Yeah, just a little more)

    Since Michelle didn't exactly know the way to my house, and Jeremy was going to be downtown already at church, I had to resort to my parents for a ride. I woke up this morning around 8:30. At that time, I was really regretting wanting to go, because I had only gotten like, 6 hours of sleep, which is not enough after such a long day of walking and whatnot. I slept for another 45 minutes or so after coming downstairs from my room (freezing cold, might I add). Eventually, I was able to awaken and eat breakfast -- pancakes. Whoopee.

    Actually, Michelle had called while I was in my almost-awakening mode, wondering if I needed a ride. I didn't recognize the number on the caller ID, and she was caught offguard by our answering machine (everyone hates our message, including me. I don't want to explain why though), so she didn't leave a message. When my brother woke up, he said he recognized the number, so I called her back. By that time, she was already on her way there, so I was back to my original plan anyway. I took a shower and changed, and then my dad drove me there, using his alternate way since he has to go downtown almost everyday for work at the dental school (he's a professor I think...I'm not sure. Hahha). In the new car, I might add.

    When I got there, Jeremy was still at church, but I met up with Michelle and Grace and we went to the dealer's room. We spent about 3 hours there, I guess. Grace bought a Para Para video, and they promised to make me a copy (^_^). I just walked around for the first like, 2 hours, and then at the last hour, I discovered this one all J-pop/J-rock booth. I had COMPLETELY overlooked it before. I couldn't decide what to buy though. I kinda wanted the Gackt RR tour book, but it was $40 and I thought that's all I had left (I actually had $60 left). But before that, I bought two Fruits Basket trading cards packets, and a little Fruits Basket Kyo pin, in which Kyo is in his "ticked-off-cat" mode. And you know what else happened? They had another "lost child" announcement while we were in the dealer's room. There had been like, 2 already, so this was the third (for the entire convention, not just the dealer's room and not just that day). The announcer was like "Will [names here] please report to the Otakon booth. Will [names here] please report to the Otakon booth. I'd like to remind everyone that the dealer's room will close in one hour. Now that I have your attention....WILL [names here] PLEASE REPORT TO THE OTAKON BOOTH"

    Yeah...so Sunday was pretty boring. I got home, and my brother was bitching again because the Slayers DVD box set that he got was defective -- it had two of one disc, so one was missing. He called the store (Pandora's Cube, where he bought it from at the con), but they said that all their stuff was at the con, so he'd have to wait until tomorrow when it was all back. He was really angry by then, because (1) he didn't get that autograph, (2) his DVD box was messed up, and (3) the Orioles were losing 10-0 at that time (the final score was like...12-3 Boston). I was eating lunch, not saying anything, and later I fell asleep until dinner time. Ahhh~.

    So. Otakon is over. I don't think it was nearly as good as last year, or at least...from my point of view. I don't think they should center EVERYTHING around anime. They are doing some more stuff that isn't Anime, like the J-pop stuff and the live-action movies that they showed, but the word "Otaku" doesn't exactly pertain to anime, does it? It just basically means "fan" (well...something like that). And they're showing a bunch of stuff that no one's ever heard of. They should show anime or movies that are really popular in Japan or Asia, and show them here so that we can really get a taste of what is going on in Asian pop culture. Maybe I'm just ranting because it was SO DIFFICULT to find ANYTHING at the dealer's room. While all the anime they are showing is not known around these parts, everything in the dealer's room is so mainstream. It was entirely TOO FRUSTRATING. As far as I know, the place where I got that Fruits Basket stuff was the only dealer that had Fruits Basket (not including the manga, which I saw like...two other dealers). Everything was just...boring. And I saw so much Ayumi...why does she have to overflow everything with her 20 billion albums? First she has her normal albums, then mixes those, and mixes THOSE mixes. Her voice isn't THAT bad, but...I don't think I could listen to her for very long.

    ....Okay, I've been writing all about Otakon for 2 hours, so I'll stop. MUST STOP! Okay. Yeah.....um..sure.

    Listening to: Arashi - All or Nothing

    Wheeee Otakon was very fun yesterday. I woke up reaaaally early (coughcough4:30cough) and watched the Virgin Suicides. I was laughing a lot at Robert and teeny tiny Hayden Christensen. Then at 6, I took a shower, ate breakfast, changed, blah blah blah. At 8, our cousin came to pick my brother and I up, then we went to pick up my cousin's girlfriend and her sister. We arrived at the convention center at 9, and waited in the Pre-reg line for an hour (sources tell me that it was like, twice as long last year). When we finished, we sat around for a little deciding what to do. For a half an hour, I watched a Korean movie ("My Wife is a Gangster" -- it was really funny), but then left for the Japanese Music Videos panel. It wasn't that great, but okay. They played an Ayumi PV, even a Morning Musume one (though they said they didn't like them), and a lot of J-rock and "J-alternative" ones. The last one was a Korean video that was banned somewhere, but my cousin's girlfriend (who is Korean) said she knew who she was (they came in at the last video). They showed a part or two from Gackt's RR DVD (the one I have ^_^). First, it was like, a minute of "Seki-ray", and then they showed all of "U+K", much to the amusement of all the guys in the front-center two rows. "This...this is Gackt on crack..dancing bears and cats....". Unfortunately, they didn't show the little movie that is usually right before that, with the cats spanking each other. I think that would've been a better choice.

    After that, we went to watch the anime music videos, but since I had been up since 4:30 AM, I fell asleep during some of them. I almost fell over onto the guy sitting next to me, but fortunately woke up before that. The ones that I did see were pretty good though. Hahha.

    Then we ate lunch across the street. When we came back, I think we went to the dealer's room. They had some good stuff, and I saw quite a few V6 albums, but they were too expensive. And I wanted Arashi (haha). I saw a LOT of Ayu albums. I even saw Utada Hikaru's "Cubic U" album. I don't think all the dealers were there yesterday, though, so I beleive we're going back to see what they have.

    Then we went to the Video Gaming hall. There were big groups crowded around the little TVs in the middle, and a lot more groups crowded around the DDR and Para Para game. I really wanted to do Para Para, but it looks a little hard. By the way, Para Para is just like DDR, but you move your hands over sensors, so it looks like raving. Some people even brough glowsticks to dance with, but then their score was terrible. I laughed. When we were there in the hall, I think the SSBM tournament registration was going on.

    Ahh...We went to some anime parody thing after that. It wasn't too crowded when we got there, so I watched a litte, then put my feet up and.....fell asleep again. When I woke up, the place was PACKED and there were even people sitting in the aisles and OUTSIDE THE DOOR. When we left, this group of girls ran and took our seats....which was basically the entire row.

    Dinner was next. We went down to one of the pavillions (Light Street Pavillion? I don't remember the names) and got Chinese food. We took it back to the center (being stopped multiple times so people could take pictures of my costume-clad cousin and girlfriend). Somewhere along the line, I dropped my fork, but picked one up at the center (they had a little EXPENSIVE food...thing). We ate outside on the patio thing. It was nice.

    When we finished, it was almost 8, which is when the dealer's room closed. We were thinking about trying to beat the clock, but went to the video gaming hall again. My cousin's girlfriend's sister's friends (*pant*) were really nice, and every one but me, my brother, my cousin, and one of the sister's friends (the boy, out of a boy and a girl) played some.

    At 9, we went upstairs to the Para Para dance thing, where Ishida Yoko (one of the Para Para dancers/singers from Japan) was there. Well...she wasn't there for the first half hour. When we got there, it was just a bunch of kids dancing, with a bunch of other people in front of them practicing by following their moves. It was really funny though because the kid in the front who was dancing was like a pro, and so everyone was following his moves. Whenever he messed up, everyone else would mess up with him. When Ishida came out, she sang a bunch of songs with the dancers still dancing (she didn't dance though, only sang). The final song she sang was "Fly Me to the Moon", which I've heard quite a few Japanese singers sing. For the rest of the night, I had that stuck in my head -- "In other woords~~, I LOVE YOOOOU!".

    Then we left. Little did we know that the doors to the Bank of America building on the skywalk close at 8. -_-...

    My cousin is supposed to arriving to pick us up again soon, so I should go. JA~

    Listening to: Arashi - Helpless

    My parents bought a new car today. ^_____________^ This makes me very happy because all the other cars we have are long and wide (a minivan, a truck, and a..long car), and I didn't want to use them when I go to get my license.

    Had my last driving lesson today (YES).

    And Friday is OTAKON! WOOHOO! And SO IS SATURDAY! WOOHOO AGAIN!

    I really do hope the dealer's room has good stuff. Not just Dragonball Z and Sailor Moon. I wonder if they'll have game imports of Mario Sunshine or something...?

    I'm trying to learn the dance to "Nice na Kokoro Iki". I have the basics down I think. I don't know why I want to learn it...I just do.

    *Still can't get over that "Can't Take my Eyes off of You" performance* "Let me loooooove you, baby, let me looooooove yooooooooooooooooooooooou"

    If you've noticed, I haven't written in my Ujournal lately. It's because...the updating client I use doesn't connect properly or something, and I can't post. I hit the post button and it just sits there like a tree. *wants to kick it's ass so badly*. I looked at some other clients, but they weren't as good.

    My feet are cold.

    Listening to: Arashi - Can't Take my Eyes Off of You

    I am completely fascinated with this song and this performance. It starts out with just Sho, then all the other guys join in. The choreography is amazing. The outfits need a little work, but they're okay. It's from Suppin Arashi, by the way. Their first concert.

    ...That's all I wanted to say. ^__^

    Listening to: Utada Hikaru - Traveling

    I discovered something....quite interesting....about the Nice na Kokoro Iki PV. I'd rather not say it out loud here though. O.o()

    I just noticed that the amount of Arashi MP3s I have has doubled in like, 2 days.

    Haaaahahhaahha this one Arashi song..."Tokyo Lovers Tune Night". Maybe it's supposed to be "Tonight"?? I hope they did that on purpose.

    Yayyy I got the song I wanted! The song from the Borubon commercial...The title is "Aishiteru To ie Nai" (I think, I'm not sure, so don't use that!). I had to guess which one it was from the jumble of symbols that WinMX uses. And I got it! Yayy!

    Ah yes, I got the Typhoon Generation PV last night. I was really lucky. One person let me have almost the whole thing. They disconnected when there was 10% left. But then, a little later, two people had it so I finished it from them.

    The beginning scares me. WHAT DID THEY DO TO SHO?? Especially to his hair!? And Nino's too! The rest were okay, but these were horrifying.

    *cheers* I have 9 of the 14 songs on the Arashi album. Unless you don't include the "All or Nothing" one, because it's not "version 1.02". Or "A Day in Our Life" because it's slower than the original (Whenever I watch the PV that has the normal speed, it feels really weird and like it's going super fast).

    And I've been writing this entry for almost 2 hours now so..Let's wrap it up, eh? *burp* Excuse me...!

    Listening to: Arashi - Open Arms

    The Japanese version of Kingdom Hearts' theme song, "Hikari" was released this March in Japan, rapidly achieving hit status and eclipsing sales of the game itself. Unfortunately, the English version of the song was thrown into doubt when the vocalist Utada Hikaru fell ill. Happily, she has now recovered from her surgery, which was to remove a tumor from her ovaries, and has announced today that "Hikari", called "Light" in its English form, has been recorded. This is good news for gamers in Europe and North America, as the song's status was previously in limbo while Ms. Hikaru recuperated.

    Kingdom Hearts is a strange crossover effort put together by Square and Disney which features such oddities as a summon spell for Dumbo and the lead character using a key as his weapon. Currently, the game is slated for release here in November, title song and all.

    YAYYYYYYYYY~~~~~~!!!!!!!! I heard a rumor that Mandy Moore was going to sing it. No offense, but that wouldn't have been the same. Even though I AM Mandy Moore (and I don't know why I still continue with this charade, but ever since she got MY haircut and said that she likes baklava just like me, I can't put it away).

    I actually think that I would've liked it in Japanese. I've never really heard Hikaru sing in English, except for "Blow my Whistle", "With or Without You", and those English words she throws in to all of her songs. I heard that she has a New York accent because that's where she lived whenever she was in the US.

    Did you know Arashi's new album is #1 on the daily Oricon album charts? Oricon is like the billboard charts of Japan.

    And the full title of that Nino song is "Regress or Progress". In Japanese, it's pronounced "Riguresu obu buroguresu". Hahha. I found that out the hard way. It was written by Nino and Tsuyoshi (from Kinki Kids). How cuuuute!

    And now I'm having sharp pains in my shoulder so I'll be going! And plus, my brother keeps chanting "melee! melee!" so I think I'll have to go make him shutup. ¡Adios!

    Listening to: Arashi - Open Arms

    LOL!! It's Ohno singing Journey! LOLL!!!!!! I'm not saying it's bad...It's just that...it's Journey....! His English isn't that bad. It's like Sho singing "Can't Take my Eyes off of You". But I'm not sure about the dancing. Some of the words have a thick accent.

    I learned today that "Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi" means......"Thanks for the Rain". At least, that's what YesAsia.com translated it as for the overseas version.

    I'm eating carrots. My brother said I'll wake up with my skin orange and be jumping around like a rabbit. Silly...

    And now I'm going to go cry myself to sleep.

    Oh man, I could just cry. This "Regress" song is performed by Nino playing an acoustic guitar. SO CUTE! SO BEAUTIFUL! I WANT TO MAKE OUT WITH THIS BOY!!!!! (I'm watching an wmv of the performance) AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~~~~~~

    It's at NinomiyaKazunari.com. Go to Multi and click the first one that says "Regress" at the end. It's all in Korean, but you can manage. There are a lot of others. I'm checking some of them out right now.

    Wa~~~~i...I'm in love now....*sigh*

    Dude...Mandy Moore is going to be in Kingdom Hearts too. I'm not sure if I should be happy or envious. I mean...she is my alter ego...or at least was. DO NOT TELL ME SHE WILL BE YUFFIE'S VOICE ACTOR. DO NOT. EVER. I'll go insane. Maybe she'll be Selphie. Awww....I think I like that idea better.

    Listening to: Porno Graffitti - Music Hour

    I'm baaaack! I've been using my UJournal non-stop, so I thought I'd come back....right. Anyways....

    I'm reading these Arashi interviews, but they're all from like, 2 years ago. It's so cuuute! The past few that I've read are about what they look for in girlfriends. In the one that I'm reading now (there are about 20 in all), the other members discuss a certain member. I thought some highlights were: Nino sometimes speaks Kansai dialect, even though he's not from Kansai and that Ohno thinks he would be a good girlfriend for Nino if he (Ohno) was a girl; Aiba would be a "lazy Koala" (or maybe a non-lazy one, I can't tell by what they're saying); Matsujun is one who "likes someone in every classroom"; Sho and Ohno joke around all the time, but Ohno denies it and insists he's talking normally ("don't mention me!"); and last but not least...Ohno is a lot funnier when he's not on TV, his "sarcastic day" is the 6th of every month (he was sarcastic for the first time on some trip they were on, so they commemorate it), and he needs a girlfriend who is a lot younger than him (*ahem*).

    There was another where they said what kind of girlfriend they wanted. Nino likes girls with nice hands (*looks at hands* I think mine are pretty nice...). Ohno likes eyes.. Sho and Jun look at personality more, while Aiba said nothing in particular.

    ..Nothing else funny.

    Last night, I DLed something from USO Japan. It was cute. It had Nino and Ohno. At the beginning, Ohno's talking on the phone with someone about their mission (I'm guessing...) while Nino sits there reading Doraemon manga. It's so cute! There are like, 6 manga books laid out on the table (at one point, it looks like he's fondling one of the books). Then later, they meet a bunch of scientist guyes and go out and watch one of the guys stand there (on a helicopter pad) with these glasses and holding something without knowing what he's doing (this goes on for a while). Then someone speaks up and they let Nino do it. He finds out that whereever the guy moves his hand, it draws on the screen in the glasses. So he writes "USO" and you can only see it in the glasses. Then he circles a part of the skyline, and labels it. They give the thing to Nino...He looks at Ohno, and as Ohno stands there, he draws glasses and a mustache on him. It's so cute! I don't think Ohno had any idea what was going on.

    And now it's 5 hours later and I have not saved it yet! I was distracted by something, then I ate dinner. Wahaha...ha...ha...huhhh....

    Listening to: Arashi - Typhoon Generation

    WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

    New layout for the site! And it only took 3 hours to think up and make! YAYY! I'm actually kind of proud because the last time I tried to do something like this, it took like, 2 weeks. And I never ended up using it (I'm talking about that ol' Tidus one that is collecting dust on my hard drive). I don't think I'll upload it until tomorrow though.

    Anyways...it does feature another video game character. And it uses frames. So make sure you have IE. I can't remember if Netscape supports frames. I used to have netscape long long ago and I used it to check my site. That was....2 years ago. I remember this because I remember it was the VERY first version of the site, when it was all about Noah (and boy do I cringe at the site of that color...and that marquee...). That's when I was completely HTML illiterate. I was so happy with myself. I thought I was so cool with that marquee. Little did I know that probably all the HTML was wrong anyways. Hahha

    I'm thinking about using those hover scroller things. They seem quite popular. But I don't know. I like using the scrolling wheel on my mouse and keyboard. But then again, I'm going to be mad if I can't find a color to be the background of the scrollbar. You know...the track part.

    Now that I'm looking at it...I think I shall. It's really ugly with that scrollbar right in the middle there.

    I'm off to go work!! Wish me luck! I shall need it.

    Listening to: Johnny's Jr - Natsu no Kakera

    You know...I think I'm going to take out that mpeg of Yamapi's "foot massage" of my folder. It seems a lot of pervs are downloading it, and I don't want them to think of my Yama-kun in that way! The person that's downloading it right now...I can't really tell by what's in their folder (a couple days ago, some perv who I could definitely tell was a pervert was downloading it, so I exited right in the middle of it). So I'll let them finish.

    And it's done, so I just moved it.

    Last night, I DLed a clip (yeah yeah, AGAIN) from USO!Japan, in which Aiba is sitting somewhere and then he suddenly falls over and everyone gasps. Ohno kept saying "Aiba-chan? Aiba-chan??"

    And I finished another Arashi clip. They were making the Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi PV, and Nino and Sho were standing around. Sho was making faces at the camera, and Nino was standing next to him. All of a sudden, Nino gets this incredibly scary evil smile on his face and kisses Sho on the cheek. It's cute, but Nino's smile was really weird. Such a devil, he is.

    I really want to see Arashi's drama "V no Arashi". There's this one site I was at last night that has parts of it that you can download (there are a BILLION parts and it takes forever to download them. I only downloaded one). I didn't see any parts with Jun or Aiba, but all I know is that Nino seems to hate Sho. It's kinda cute actually. And Ohno looks like a nerd. And they're all wearing those green gym suits. I have one like that, actually. It's not as dark though.

    And now I'm going to go update my site a little.

    Listening to: V6 - Feel Your Breeze

    I'm very frustrated. Very. I am very FRUSTRATED. You can tell I'm frustrated because I just repeated(??) myself. Is repeated a word? Anyways...I can't find Sugao 3 anywhere. Well...YesAsia.com has it, but it's like $40. And it's on tape. I want it on VCD! They DID have it at GetVCDs.com but I was lazy and didn't get it and now it's out of stock. *kicks and screams*. All I want is SUGAO 3! And I'm finding all these sites that have programs and stuff (normal people just selling stuff) but they're all overseas. You know...Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan.

    Oh, last night, the last MPG I downloaded, I believe, is a part from Yama-kun's new drama, Ranchi no Jo'o (Queen of Lunch). At first, I thought it was from Long Love Letter (I don't know why...I just did), but then when I was at the drama's site, I recognized the guy he was talking to in the character map. I was like "Whoaaa it's already on the net??!" They're sitting on a wall, eating popsicles. So cuute! ...Okay, maybe not THAT cute...

    ...That's all I have to say about that.

    Y'know....I was wrong again. It was Jun, not Nino. *smacks self repeatedly for about 10 minutes*

    Anyways...I've been using my UJournal a lot more than pitas, obviously. It's a lot easier to access, because I downloaded a client and I can update it using that. Plus, it detects music and has a built in mood thing. But I've probably said all these things already, huh?

    UJournal.org is down right now anyway. But that's not why I'm here at pitas. No. I just thought I should update this, and not abandon it.

    And this song is SO CUTE. It's Yama-kun singing it, of course, with Kazama and Hasegawa. How do I know this? I have an MPG of the performance that it's from. "You make me feel so happy" *melts* Dear God, Yamapi, STOP DOING THAT! He could seriously kill someone singing that.

    I've decided that I MUST get Sugao 3 before summer is over. Or at least order it somewhere. I MUST HAVE IT. *determined look on face*

    You know, I haven't had to babysit at all yet. Not that I really WANT to. My mom offered me a job at the office where she and my dad work. Sending out bills. I did some on Saturday when I was there getting a check up (my dad's a dentist, my mom is his assistant/secretary. Well...she's secretary for some of the other dentists too). I was doing really good. My brother was putting stamps on them. My other brother was laughing at us.

    It was funny because there was this battery-less flashlight sitting on top of a shelf, and it looked like a light saber. So naturally, my brothers and I picked it up and started pretending to duel with one another, making sounds and all.

    I'm disappointed that George Lucas isn't going to make episodes 7-9. Meanie!

    Speaking of movies, I saw Men in Black II today. It was funny. A bit short, but good. The showing that we planned to go to was sold out, so we went to the one a half hour later. I really wanted to pop into Star Wars, but I didn't. I liked the little short that was played before the movie. "The Chum Chums are Coming" or something like that. It was really cute.

    Dude, I just downloaded a MPG of (younger) Yamapi getting a "foot massage" or so it is labeled. It's weird though, because he looks like he's in extreme pain. But what he says is that it feels good...or something...or...*loses her mind*

    And I also just got an MPG of Yamapi doing a trick in which an upside down bottle of juice doesn't spill. Easy really. Just shove the top into the juice inside the cup. I've had experience with such things while doing the dishes. What's really cute is Ryo's reaction. "It didn't spill!!". Ryo's just cute. Period. He's older than me, but still....Yeah, I think he's older than Yama-kun too? I think that's what I read somewhere but I'm not sure.

    Yikes, I really should be going. Once this DL is done...

    Juvenile. Delinquent.

    And it is Nino doing the other rap. I didn't notice it before, but he raps near the beginning too. So (in order of singing), it's Sho, Nino, Aiba, Sho, Ohno/Nino/Sho, Nino, Sho, Ohno/Nino/Sho, etc etc. I can't figure it out right now. *kicks own ass*

    I just wanted to clarify...I didn't cry during the speeder chase. I meant to say that I liked it. I only cried at that one part...and it wasn't even crying! It was eye-watering.

    I don't think I can break away from pitas...Even in that ujournal, I'm typing new paragraph tags everywhere. And plus, I have to have a title. Well...I'm not sure I have to, but it looks awfully weird without one.

    Listening to: Utada Hikaru - Deep River

    Skin is coming along nicely. I got the finally finished the equalizer, playlist, and loop buttons. I think I'm going to redo the titlebar over. It's really making me...grr... I'm wondering...Should I just leave out the balance bar? Does anyone really use it? It's RIGHT over Yama-kun's eye. I don't want to ruin his beautiful face...

    I watched the first 3 Star Wars (episodes 4-6). I had never really seen them before, so when my brothers started watching "Empire Strikes Back", I joined in the fun. Then I watched "Star Wars", and finally, "Return of the Jedi". It's too late to start "The Phantom Menace". As my brother puts it, I was in "Star Wars mode". I almost fell asleep during "Star Wars"...

    Haha I bet I'm going to have a Star Wars dream tonight...

    Speaking of dreams, I had an Aiba dream a couple days ago. He got into a fight with a guy I know (though I'm not really friends with). And then I started talking about Aiba to some other people, and Sho popped up and kept correcting me. @__@

    And a pop-up has just locked up so I'm going to save this before I lose it!

    Listening to: Utada Hikaru - Final Distance

    I AM TRIUMPHANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I got the repeat button to work. ^__^

    I still have the equalizer and playlist buttons...ARGH.

    Today, at break while at drivers ed, I ran across the street to the Rite Aid, like I said I would. I had to run across traffic! It was scary. I was standing in the median like "please don't hit me please don't hit me please don't hit me". I bought a soda and bag of skittles for myself, and a soda for my brother.

    Oh yes, I did get that new Arashi song. I think Nino raps too. Maybe it's Jun...I can't tell. I'm pretty sure it's not O-cha~n (I think that's what I'll call him now, hahah)

    ...*hits desk* I forgot about the stupid thing in the title bar that I didn't fix last night...

    DAMMIT. DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT!

    This skinning process is P.I.S.S.I.N.G M.E O.F.F. I finished the main bmp, the play/stop/etc buttons bmp, and the top/minimized bmp. BUT I'M STUCK ON THE REPEAT/SHUFFLE BUTTONS. GRR. It's the STUPID repeat button. I can't tell where it is!! *screams* I got the shuffle button, but I've spent like, 3 hours on this repeat one!!!! !#%)&#!%)!&

    Not to mention, it's making me cringe because I haven't gotten to changing the color of the font and the color of the visualization thingy. And I still have the equalizer! *runs into a wall repeatedly*

    And the playlist *runs herself over with a bulldozer...if that's possible...?*

    And a bunch of other little things that are bugging the hell out of mee....*ties herself to a nuclear warhead*

    ...I'll stop with the psycho babble.

    DAMN I'm good. I'm making a winamp skin...it has Yamapiii! I probably would've done Gackt...but this Yamapi pic was PERFECT. It was the same size, the placement was perfect....ah. I hope the final product will look really nice. Heheheh. It will probably stay on my winamp for like, 5 years. This is hard though! I praise all of those skinners out there. They have a hard job. Even though usually, it's not a job for them.

    Unfortunately, the shuffle button is going to be on his mouth...

    Listening to: Utada Hikaru - Deep River

    Ahh I love this song...It's relaxing...

    Drivers ed was boring today. I was sooooo tired. And the quiz was really easy. I got 100%....I think. He went over the answers and I think he said one wrong, but I'm not sure. Maybe I read the question wrong. Then I fell asleep at break.

    The other night, I had the sudden urge to go driving. Driving on a free and empty road. Woooooooo...Wouldn't that be the life?

    More about "Deep River". I really like the new album...though I've already had half of the dozen songs for a while. Deep River, Tokyo Nights, and Uso Mitai na I Love You are my favorites of the new ones. And Bridge (Interlude) is cool too. And of course, I still love Letters.

    ...Oh dear...that Arashi "Company Greetings" thing CRACKS ME UP. "Aibamasakidesu" That's what Aiba said, and it was all in one thing. And Sho with his panicky bow.

    Dude, I've already downloaded TWO new versions of WinMX today. I got up this morning and at like, 8, I was on it and then I DLed the new version (3.21). Then I went to class, and when I came back and opened it up again, it told me to download 3.22. I honestly see no difference whatsoever. If anything, it's that I'm not getting as many search results!

    And oh yes, I also took off all of my full PVs and stuff (...actually I left the Shonen Club episode because I love watching that when I'm downloading). I left all the unfinished ones, of course. Must find rest of All or Nothing PV...Must...Find...

    I got my Band in the USA today. I have to renew already. GRR. I think the timing of the issues is a bit off.

    *wants to find an MP3 of "All or Nothing"* *weeps desperately*

    I'll be going now. ADIOS AMIGOS/AMIGAS.

    Listening to: Gackt - Lu:na

    Wai! This song kicks serious ass...

    LOL "Soleil" sounds funny. Happy, sort of.

    I heard "Fragrance" is really good. It's like, every Gackt Fan's favorite Gackt song.

    Grr...since Audiogalaxy is down, and WinMX sucks ass...I'm downloading all these from a site. I feel sorry for the site's owners. Their server is getting pounded.

    Speed Master....is weird.

    *is listening to Fragrance*..IS THIS A GACKT SONG???

    Mmm. I like "Missing" too...I really like it...*dances*

    So. Summary: Noah is instrumental, so there's not all that much to say about it, except that it makes me think of some song for a jungle ritual or something. It's weird. Lu:na rules. Period. Wasurenai Kara is nothing new for me. Soleil is cool, and the trumpets and stuff at the beginning make me think of Vanilla. Speed Master..eh. Fragrance -- WHOA. Completely caught me offguard. The music makes me think of some Usher song or something. Death Wish..eh. Doomsday is nothing new either. Missing is awesome too. It reminds me of Dears (a LOT). Memories is (very) cute. I really like the ending.

    And I can't download Rain, so.....XP The file in the zip folder is corrupt or something.

    Hey, I thought Junigatsu no Love song was going to be on this album too...Oh well. It's really only suitable for the Christmas season anyway.

    Last night, I downloaded part of Arashi's new PV ("All or Nothing", but it doesn't sound like the O-Town song, so don't worry). And, you know, I love Sho and all, but he has to STOP dressing like that. He's got a bunch of gold chains and rings..it's scaring me. Aiba raps too. AIBA! And Nino plays guitar. But he looks so young..it's funny. Then after about a minute, Ohno and his melodious voice (plus Nino) kick in. I LOVE YOU O-CHAN! And Sho's still rapping away. And that's all I got. And I got 2% of the Nice na Kokoro Iki PV, it's only the very beginning. The intro.

    Woohooo "Rain" is almost finished on WinMX. Possibly the first time I've ever gotten a FULL MP3 on it.

    *listening....listening....Please stand by....*

    Not bad. I like the chorus (of the song. As in...there's not a huge chorus singing backup or anything. Just clarifying!!).

    Now I'm off to gather Utada's new album. Such a bad one I am.

    Listening to: Gackt - Uncontrol

    Wah wah wah. Tonight, I can stay up ALL I WANT. WAHAHAHHAHAA. I haven't been able to for the past week, because of drivers ed. And last night, I went to sleep earlier than usual, not because I had to get up a little earlier for my driving thing, but because I didn't take a nap and was tired. But I took a long nap today...Ahh it was very comfortable. At first, I was napping in the other room on the not-as-comfortable couch because my dad was napping on this one in here. But I heard him get up to go mow the lawn, so I moved here. Heheh...

    Meh, I've taken up postpet again. I only really email myself (I have 3 postpets), so if you have postpet, send your pet over! It gets really boring making up useless emails. So...it's yuffie@myrealbox.com for yamapi the turtle, jb923@myrealbox.com for ohno the penguin, and...I haven't finished redoing my last pet. @_____@

    If you don't have postpet but want it, go to the PostPet website. There's a free 10 day trial, but to keep it, you have to buy the license key for $12 or something like that. I forget (I've had it for 2 years now). It's really fun sometimes. It spices up emails. Hhaha...

    I've also made some lame snacks...Maybe I'll upload those to my site for download. Let's see...what did I make? I made...Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow cartridges, cheese and pepperoni pizza slices, and....a Phantom Planet logo. Hahha. It was hard to make that! It still doesn't show up quite right in the list. I think I'll make more, but I don't know what to make. Ay.

    So now I'll go do something with Postpet. Because I can!

    AHHHH it was so scary driving...The guy had to step on his little brake from the passenger seat a bunch of times. I forgot to yield to the cars going straight...But what was funny was that I was singing Arashi in my head. "A Day in Our Life", to be exact. That's not even my favorite song, but somehow it got stuck in my head...

    AHhhhhHHHhhHHHHhHhHhHh.....

    *gulp* Tomorrow is first in-car instruction. I did a bit of circling around the parking lot of the abandoned super market (it was built, and looked pretty good....then abandoned). I really do need more practice though, because I didn't really press the gas and I need more experience on how much to press it. And straightening out. I need a little more help on that.

    I got my report card today. 3.71 is my 4th quarter GPA (that's 2 B's). And another 2 B's on my exams. Yay.

    The Monday after next, my brother and I are going to go take the learner's permit test thing. I'm supposed to have 3 more in-car instruction days, so I hope I'll be ready by then.

    OH. The babysitting thing. Since I'm in drivers ed and can't babysit, my neighbor has been doing it. Yesterday (or the day before or something), she took them to the pool and today, she took them to the movies. I CAN'T COMPETE WITH THAT! That's not fair! I'm not even a member at the pool! *weep* I'll be known as the boring babysitter...or the evil babysitter. :( :( :( :( :( If I do anything, I'll be playing with the two boys' playstation, but what would I do with their sister? *weeps more*

    Arrrgh come back Fanfiction.net!!!!!!!! It says June 21st at the latest...AND IT'S JUNE 21ST!!!!!

    Tomorrow, SAT scores become available. Actually, they're available now, but you have to pay to see them ($13).

    I can't get enough of this Go Tarimo and Chibi Curry. TORIPIPPIIIII.

    Oh man...I love V6..

    I was just watching my "Live for the People" VCD (yeah, waaaay back in 1996 or so). Has anyone else heard "Our Radio Rocks"? HAHAHAHAHAH It's so funny. Whenever they say it, it sounds like "Our Radio Locks!" and they repeat it over and over...so...so..funny.

    There are some good parts though. But unlike a DVD, it doesn't have chapters or anything so I have to go searching for the songs and figure out which one is which. The first disc is easy, because there aren't that many and the beginning is all preparation and behind-the-scenes stuff. But the second disc is mostly songs, and is a lot longer...and there is this part in the middle where they say messags to the fans (Ken brought out a little speech thing...though it was mostly something something, "arigatou", something something, "arigatou"...etc).

    I'll watch it some more tomorrow. Meanwhile, I'm going to keep listneing to "Volume 6"! I love "Natsu no Memory" and the "Ai no Melody" remix (the full title is "Ai no Melody (long long aGO!GO! MIX))

    I WANT TO MOVE TO LA. RIGHT NOW. NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW. They have Japanese channels that show dramas. NY does too! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh

    *wonders* The neighbors who I'm babysitting for soon DO have satellite TV...*grins an evil grin*

    I was quite disappointed yesterday. My grandma said that my uncle called, and said that they're coming the 2nd and 3rd weeks of August. That means my grandma and I aren't going to CA. It was suggested that we go in July and come back with them, but that means I'd completely miss Otakon, which I've already registered for! I'm not ready to give up Otakon. And the babysitting...

    AHH I really love this song. The guitar just kills me...And I also like that little hint of Ken's voice right before that electric guitar goes into a solo. I think V6 has the best English pronunciation.

    I woke up at 7 this morning. Yesterday I woke up at noon. I didn't get to sleep until like, 1:30 or 2. I was in bed tossing and turning for 2-3 hours. HELL.

    Listening to: V6 - Feel Your Breeze

    Eeh!?? Today is Ninomiya's birthday. I didn't know ^__^ Happy birthday to him!

    Ah, this new V6 song is so cuute! It sounds like their others...but it's still cuute! It left me tingly when I first listened to it. I don't know why. Of course, "Feel Your Breeze" makes no sense, but the song is good so let them use engrish all they want.

    I'm also trying to get this V6 song "Dasenai Tegami" because I haven't heard it yet, but whenever I look up V6 it comes up. So I'm going to have a listen for myself. But it's going really slow. "Feel your Breeze" took like, a minute. This is taking 10 minutes...But I shall remain patient. It's almost done. Also, it looks like it's a big file...

    Dude, when does Gackt's "Moon" come out? Is it on the 19th? That's the same day that Utada Hikaru's "Deep River" comes out, I think. I need some new Gackt songs! I've gotten tired of all but "Doomsday"...and occasionally I'll listen to Uncontrol. Same thing with Utada. I only listen to "Letters", though lately I've been listening to "First Love", "Final Distance", and "Distance". "Letters" is still my favorite.

    I'm still listening to all my Arashi songs...Jrs, not so much (sometimes "Love Letter" or "Tulurilla"...). V6....

    This MP3 of "Dasenai Tegami" is messed up. The time that's listed is ten and half minutes, but it's only five something. I don't know why it did that.

    It's almost time for dinner, so I'll go.

    Listening to: Arashi - Kokoro Chirari

    Ah. So I got more details on the job offer. Here they are.

    I wouldn't have to cook. The worst I'd have to do is heat something up in the microwave (YES). I'd be working 9AM-4PM, which isn't too bad. $150/week, or $30/day, or $4.29/hour. I could just work one week and be satisfied! Actually, a couple weeks would be fine. I don't do all that much shopping...but with some money, I could do a lot. He also said that he'd split it with my other neighbor (the girl, she's a year older and going off to college in the fall). So...Apparently, the children spend more time with him in the summers, and with their mother during the school year, but the mother got remarried and is pregnant, so the kids will be spending a lot more time with their dad.

    I think it would be pretty cool if my friend and I worked together. It wouldn't be one against three kids, it'd be two against three kids (obviously).

    I think I'm going to spend all my money buying dramas and Johnny's stuff. And stuff at the mall. And other little things that please me.

    In other news...

    Trillian's working alright. The thing that bugs me the most is that when I have new mail on Yahoo, the little mail icon will pop up and won't go away, even if it's all checked. On the other hand, MSN has a thing for clearing the mail notification. I like that. I don't know anyone with ICQ, so it's basically just...doing nothing. Sometimes I'll message myself, but it obviously gets boring very quickly.

    I changed my playlist to random. Playing it in order was kind of stupid. I knew what songs were coming up all the time.

    Back to the Johnny's stuff, I made a list of things I wanted to buy (don't worry! Not much). There are six things, but I meshed 4 together because they're all from the same place. And I numbered them by priority. First is Sugao 3 (VCD), the cheapest price I found was $14.99, plus shipping and handling ($8.99!!!). Second is Neverland, which I found yesterday, at $23.99 (The shipping and handling was hard to figure out! Their policy is weird. It was $2 + $2 per item, an item being 2 discs. So S+H was $10). Third is Majo no Jouken (VHS), Sugao 1+2 (VHS), and Arashi's album (CD-R), which totals to $26.00 (no S+H). That adds up to about $83.97. Unless that stupid S+H policy screwed me up somewhere...if it did, it would probably be more, but only by a couple dollars.

    Wehh. I'm not sure if the Neverland price will stay the same, so I should ask my mom to buy it soon. If I don't, I'll have to wait until the 28th, when I can probably start work...when it should actually be later because I probably won't get paid until later.

    ...I'm just thinking aloud, so pay no attention to me. Pay no attention to this entry. Pay no attention to this diary! (Just kidding, I like visitors)

    Eh I'm going to go take a nap or something. It's hot.

    :: how jedi are you? ::

    That wasn't the first one I got, but I liked it the best. lol.

    By the way, I had a star wars-ish dream. In my dream, Hayden Christensen left two messages on my family's answering machine. The first one was all slurred and messed up and I think I remember "wookie" being said. He was clearly drunk. Then the second one was more clear but I don't remember what it said. After listening to them, I said "maybe I should go give my friend his phone number" because she's a big fan of his. But then my brother's stepped in, saying something. And I was like "Well you killed the girl in that game of yours". Which is completely true. Last night, my brother said that he was playing some Jedi game he recently got and he killed some girl that was supposed to be following him and the game ended. So real life steps into the dream world once more.

    Meh..that's all. I just wrote an hour ago.

    Eek I have to wake up so early tomorrow. I just woke up about 10 minutes ago. I could've woken up at 10, but I was like "Oh, I'll just sleep a liiittllee longerrrr *snore*" and I woke up 2 hours later.

    Wahh so boring. *yawns for the 50th time*

    Did you know, if you type in "yamapi" into Yahoo, my page of Yamapi pics is the second site that comes up. It pays to scream "YAMAPI" in the title of your page. This diary comes up also...like, 20 sites later.

    Eh? Only wrote one little thing today. And it wasn't even today! It was 12 hours ago.

    Went to my uncle's house for father's day celebration. It was cool (except that my youngest cousin called me a "mean giant" for no reason. I'm like, the 3rd shortest. But I was wearing my brother's Maryland hat, so maybe she just made it up?). I was the only the whole time who went on her playground-swingset thing. Nobody else did. Then I proceeded to hit myself in the chin with a ball (I was trying to see how high I could bounce it, and my head got in the way...Ha). Then..ate...and watched Billy Madison (Adam Sandler marathon! The Waterboy was on next), and played Candyland.

    I'm too tired to explain it all.

    I downloaded WinMX 3.2. What's so different? I see no difference.

    Ah, I've decided that if the babysitting job does not require cooking, I will take it. I really want some money to buy some stuff. I must take responsibility! *salutes....whomever*

    Last night, I read a "Majo no Jouken" summary (it was more in depth than the last one I read). It makes me want to see it even more! Though sometimes I can't STAND Takki (Takizawa Hideaki). Then again, he's awfully adorable sometimes.

    Ah, more about the babysitting job. The family has satellite TV. *imagines the possibilities* And I know the house pretty well; the family that lived there before had two boys around the ages of my (girl) neighbor and I, so we hung out with each other a lot many moons ago. We had a weird friendship though. Sometimes, they'd piss us off and we'd be like "they're so weird" (which is true, I suppose. Now that I think about it...they were pretty odd) but we'd end up playing with them anyways. We always went sledding with them in the winter. That was fun. And the memory that sticks out the most was playing hide-and-seek in their basement. That was so fun. I once hid under a sleeping bag the same color as my sweater and a small pile of clothes, and wasn't found. hehehe

    ....Enough with the memories. Monday, I start drivers ed, and apparently it's going to be a big class. Either that or the classroom is small.

    So...That's all. I'm tiiiiiired. *is already half-asleep*

    What's today? Friday, huh? Sheesh.

    Last night was fun. The ATWGOTI girls (plus Laura) got together and had a fun chat that involved Rooney fanfiction (I kid you not), and the plural form of the male genitalia (please do NOT ask). It was like really old times, ones where I would laugh out loud at 2 AM and be afraid that I've woken someone up. It was like watching the rooney webcast! That was priceless. Even though Alex was away for a long time at a party down the street...

    Yesterday, my new neighbors down the street called and asked if I wanted to babysit their three kids (ages 5, 7, and 9). You know, I'm thinking about it, but I've never really babysat on my own. I've had experience babysitting my younger cousins, but only with the assistance of my grandmothers. Honestly, I should have a babysitter myself. I guess it's just one of those things that comes along with being the youngest and never having someone younger than you to really look after. I was the youngest in my family, the youngest of my friends that lived on my street, the youngest of my cousins (that is, until my other cousins were born, but I only really see them on holidays. And must I mention the fact that two of my cousins live on the other side of the country?). I've always been pampered.

    My youngest cousin is only 3 years old. I have two cousins that live in California (10 and 14), and then two other cousins that live here (also 10 and 14) but they live about an hour away. Before they were born, it was me and my brothers and my two other cousins, but I was the smallest so I usually just followed whoever.

    ...Enough about that. I'm still wondering about this. I could make some good money off of it, and buy whatever my heart desires (coughcoughSugao3coughcough). I guess I can think it over for the next two weeks, because I won't be able to do anything until the 28, when drivers ed starts.

    ...Trillian...or more specifically, YAHOO, is pissssssssssing meeeeeee offfffffffffffffff

    Why can't you send messages to yourself on MSN? I was adding all my screennames to my list (just for checking purposes) and MSN won't let you send messages to yourself. AND YAHOO KEEPS DISCONNECTING ME, THOSE BASTARDS.

    I'll be going to take my anger out on Yahoo. Ja ne.

    ICQ #: 162453793

    Ah. Theeere we go. You can message me...I'm usually pretty quiet, so try to get me riled up a bit ^_^

    ....Maybe I should've stayed away from ICQ...I'm getting messages from porn people.....eek.

    So...just so I know who's a porn person and who's not, tell me that you're not a porn person, 'kay? Or if I've talked to you before, just tell me your name or something. Just make it clear you're not about to link me to some porn site with a virus.

    Hmph.

    lol Sorry to KIM for writing about things that you don't know about. I seem to do that a lot, huh?

    ...Anyways...

    If you'd like to contact me (because I'm going to use Trillian as much as I can so I can get used to it), here are my screennames so far:
    AIM: yuffie9852
    MSN: yuffie9852@hotmail.com (I had to change it because I forgot both my screenname AND my password..Unless it's always been like that?)
    Yahoo: yuffie9852 (how original...)

    I don't use IRC (I could, but it's too confusing for me), and I'm getting ready to sign up for another ICQ account.

    You're Snickers!
    You're a classic. You're popular. What else could you ask for? Maybe a taste in music, but that's up to you.

    You're Trillian!
    You're Trillian, the coolest instant messenger of them all. You can connect to five different instant messengers at once... neat!

    I've never heard of Trillian. Or maybe I have...I think my brothers have it. But I don't know anyone on any other messengers than AIM, so I stick with that one..Ha. But still. I'm the coolest XD I guess it wouldn't hurt to try it out?

    Okay, I just dowloaded it. Not bad, not bad. But maybe I should turn the sounds off...

    My brothers said that I've been grumpy all day because I haven't taken my daily nap. Haa. It's their fault!

    I played FFT today, but it got boring a little quickly. Especially during that first flashback or whatever, when all the cadets are getting orders or something, and you can't speed up that damn text. It was going sooooo slow. I could go to the bathroom, come back, and still wait 3 minutes. And the battles were way too long (plus Delita and that other guy kept dying or running the other way)

    Wee! I found this site where you can learn how to write your name in Japanese (Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji). It doesn't have all names, but it's pretty close.

    Eehhh I'm going to stop here and go now.

    Listening to: Ya-Ya-Yah - Yuuki 100%

    Oh dear...it's gone way too far....

    I had a Yamapi dream last night...^_________________^

    It was cool though. He was giving this interview on TV, and I watched it, and the interviewer was, y'know, American and speaking English, and Yamapi was speaking English too. So I was like "WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO". And Yamapi was doing a bunch of things and the interviewer was like "This boy is too cute!"

    I guess it didn't help that for like, 4 hours last night, I was downloading Johnny's stuff and surfing random Johnny's sites. AND joining a Yamapi Yahoo group...

    Hm, the author of "Crest of the Stars" is going to be at Otakon too. And Yoko Ishida...but I don't know who she is. And Wendee Lee, who I THINK did Miaka's voice too. Or maybe she did Yui...

    Just a random thing I just thought up...

    What would I buy if I had $100 right now?
    Go to GetVCDs.com and buy Sugao 3, Neverland, and use the rest to buy some stuff at Megchan.com.
    OR...I'd save it for buying a PS2. ME WANTS A PS2!

    .....I'll just tell you right now that I am never this crazy (and I don't make this many typos, which have been corrected) this early in the morning. *looks suspiciously at cup of orange juice* *looks suspiciously at picture of Yamapi* *melts*

    Smile agaaaaaain Arigatoooooou (sometimes I think the u should be placed there, sometimes I don't...)

    Time to play Final Fantasy Tactics!

    Listening to: Gackt - OASIS

    Ah, I remember what I was going to say for the past few entries.

    Yasuhiro Nightow is going to be at Otakon! He's the creator of Trigun. If he has an autograph session, I'm going to get my Volume 8 Trigun DVD cover thingy signed (it's shiny...I guess it's a freebie kinda thing). It's got Knives on it, who's not really my favorite, but Volume 8 is the only one with a thingy like that.

    They only have 3 Japanese guests of honor so far. Last year, they had 4. I hope they get a lot more, and show some really good animes. I haven't been watching much anime lately, cause my mom's friend has stopped supplying me with Fruits Basket episodes, I finished To Heart, I have all of Trigun, I'm too lazy (and a bit uninterested) to get more Weiß...And I finished Fushigi Yûgi.

    I'm concentrating more on music. As you have seen, I have spoken of nothing but Arashi, Jr, V6, Gackt, Utada Hikaru, etc for the past 6 months. Well...that and school.

    DAMMIT. DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT!

    I have to wait 4 months after getting my learners to get my license. DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT! That means I can't get it until at least October, and that means I won't be able to get a parking permit at school! DAMMIT DAMMIT (this is a lot of "dammit"s). @$)*@#((

    *desperately wants to drive*

    Poo.

    Ahhhh...

    I was getting ready to play FFT, but...sleep conquered me. I was napping for what? Probably 3-4 hours. Why? BECAUSE I CAN!

    Anyways...That's about it. I'm really boring and dull today...*sigh*

    Listening to: YA-YA-Yah - Yuuki 100%

    Dammit. I forgot what I was going to say.

    This is like, the 10th time I've listened to this song. Ooyoyyoyooyyyyyyy

    Man, I love getting email. I hate sending them (though I don't really hate replying), but I love receiving. Spoiled child, I am. Apparently, several people have randomly found my pita here. Okay, so several is around 5. But anyways, they're always so nice! So! All of you who have sent me dear email, I THANK YOU! I PRAISE YOU! LAUDO TE! (That's right, I know Latin!). Let's see. How many ways do I know how to say thanks? Arigato(u) *think of Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi*, gracias *thinks of "Jounetsu no Rainbow" by V6, though gracias appears nowhere in the song*, sh-sh (Chinese: I know how to say it, but I don't know how to spell it!)

    Which brings me to another point. In precalc, there were probably 4 groups. Seniors, Koreans, Preps, and everyone else (I go into everyone else, by the way). So anyways, one day, these two Korean boys find out that I'm Chinese (and apparently bet on it). So now, one of the boy goes "NI HAO!" whenever he sees me and asks me how to say "I hate you" in Chinese, even though I have no idea. I meant to go ask my grandma over the weekend and tell him today (during my final), but I forgot.

    AH! HERE IT IS! "ÎÒ³ðºÞÄã"! Since when did the altavista translator have Chinese? I don't remember that. Unfortunately, I don't know how to say it. DAMMIT.

    I AM THE MASTER! "ÎÒ³ðºÞÄã" is pronounced "Wo choudi ni"! Actually, the last character is a different you. I subsituted it with the normal "you".

    AND NOW I MUST GO.

    Listening to: nothing

    Ah, I know this is my third or fourth entry today, but I can't help myself!

    So..I wanted to say that the other day, I was playing "Hey You Pikachu!" and a funny thing happened. PIKACHU ATE THE HARMONICA! I was in that one stage where you have to collect ingredients for Bulbasaur. Sometimes if you tell Pikachu that he shouldn't call Magnemite, he'll eat the food himself. But I was going through the toolbox and I saw the harmonica, so I decided to give it to him so he could play it. But he ate it instead. The next day, I woke him up and gave it to him (in the bedroom) and he thunderbolted it and reduced to mere ashes. Bad Pikachu!

    Arrgh I really need to take that Wasurenai Kara PV out of my sharing folder...It's not that I don't want other people to have it, it's that my brothers complain because I'm using too much bandwith when someone is downloading from me (it's a whopping 133 MB, you know). It's the biggest file in my folder...and it's causing me many problems. So I set the bandwith throttle lower, but now these transfers are taking forever and I don't want to gather up more queues...Grrrr.

    Right now, I have 2 people downloading WK, and one person in queue for it...!

    As you can tell, I'm a very rushed person.

    Aye...Make that 4.

    Maybe I should have a policy. Like, share only files 50 MB and lower at times when connection with brothers is shared, and all when alone. Unfortunately, this means that people will only be able to download from me at like, 4 in the morning.

    In the meantime, I encourage you all to do multi-point downloads. It will save you and the uploader a lot of time.

    I just downloaded the "A Day in Our Life" PV and it's significantly faster than the MP3 that I have. I was always wondering why my MP3 didn't sound like Sho at all...I suppose it was slowed down somewhere along the line. In the PV, the voice makes a lot more sense...If that's possible.

    I like how Nino, Aiba, and Sho are all rapping and try to look all gangster. Jun and Ohno look normal.

    You know, I just had an idea. Maybe I'll make a kind of playlist for my video folder. Like my playlist on the page. And I'll include caps! Ooh *can picture it now*.

    I'll start capping!

    Listening to: Arashi - Kokoro Chirai

    "Now I'm studying English from Jimmy and so I 'm going to speak English fluently for sure. Why do I study English? Because I think it looks cool (laugh). School's visual education tends to go to abroad so I wanna speak fluent. Last year Jimmy and I went to Las Vegas, when I saw him speak to people in English there. I though " Oh! This boy is really cool" (laugh). My aimed goal is I can go abroad alone. Moreover I wanna stay with a foreign family in America for 1 year."

    From Yamapi...

    STAY WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'll help on your English too *wink* Hahhahahah! I should write Jimmy or someone (well, Jimmy knows English doesn't he?) and tell him that Yamapi can stay with meee.

    He
    He
    He... (This is supposed to be a laugh, not a broken record. Just so you know.)

    Listening to: Arashi - Sawarenai

    *is super-jealous*

    I'm at this cool stationary site (they take pictures and make letter templates and stuff with them. In addition, it's mostly Johnny's Jr and Arashi stuff! WOOHOO!) and there was this page about writing to Jrs. So blah blah blah...at the bottom there's this thing about replies. AND YAMAPI REPLIED TO SOMEONE (in Japanese..). So I used the altavista translator, but it NEVER makes any sense. So...I'm just going to have to do it myself! I'm going to brush up on my hiragana and katakana this summer. Kanji will have to wait...^__^ Back to the replies...they were from back in '98 and '99, so I'm thinking the chances of getting a reply are getting slimmer, since Yamapi is one of the top 10 ranked juniors (or so I think).

    I had my English and Math finals today. English wasn't so bad. I forgot that we could have brought an outline for this essay part we had, but I did the outline during the final and finished with like, 10 minutes left. I hope I did well!

    I screwed up a lot on the math final. She told us things to study, so I only put those things on my index card (which had formulas and stuff) but there were a couple things she never mentioned, so I was dead meat at that point. She also mentioned something about a summer picnic for her math classes. She said it was in early August, but I bet I will be at the beach then. But I wrote down my number and email anyway.

    Okay so I just abandoned this entry for 2 hours. So I guess I'll leave it.

    Listening to: YA-YA-Yah - Yuuki 100%

    OH MY GOD THIS SONG IS SO SMEEPING CUTE. And all of YA-YA-Yah's (4) members are at least 3 years younger than me. Some of them were born in 1991. They're only 11 years old! BUT THIS SONG IS SO CUTE. Some site I was at was playing it in the background and I couldn't help myself.

    And I finally got off my butt and translated the title of this one song that Arashi performs in the Shonen Club Arashi special (or at least one of them? I'm not sure if there has been only one). It's Kokoro Chirai. Thankfully it wasn't in kanji, but in katakana. Then again, I could probably just ask my grandma since kanji is Chinese, isn't it? Wahaha!

    EEEK I have my English and Math finals tomorrow. I think I dread those the most. They are all writing (actually, I think the English final has a multiple choice portion). Then on Tuesday (LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!!!), I have Physics *dies* and Spanish *moans*. Spanish isn't that bad.

    *goes to listen to "Yuuki 100%" again*

    And now I have to go.

    Listening to: Arashi - A Day in Our Life

    This Arashi song is very..different, isn't it?

    Ahh last 3 days of school! This year has been quite eventful...I'd call it my best year academically, but not exactly mentally. I'm not sure.

    The past week, I seem to have been slacking off. I completely FAILED a physics test, but I still have a B so it's okay I suppose. Then today, I didn't do so well on a quiz in math, even though a lot of other people got 100s. I was unhappy :(

    Maybe this last week has just been bad for me overall. There have been storms left and right, my health is dwindling, my schoolwork isn't so great...I can't wait for it all to be over!

    Of course...next week I start driver's ed (yeah that's right. kimMAY'S GONNA DRIVE!). Hmm...I hope I don't have to wait in between getting my permit and my license, because I really need to get it before the school year and be quick to purchase a parking permit at school. I can't stand the bus! Now, I get a ride in the morning, but I have to ride the bus home. Hopefully my friend can give me a ride next year if I don't manage to get a permit. She could've gotten one this year, but she wasn't quick enough...Grr.

    Ah yes, this page looks very clean, doesn't it? I archived my entries, and you can check out the old ones here. Don't mind the 2001 entries. Right before I archived it, I was screwing around with the layout. And plus, it seems to be missing the earliest entries. :(

    I just spent like, 45 minutes reading old entries. A trip down memory lane. It was cool to remember dreading Spanish class, though now that I think about it, it was one of my best classes. The whole class was mostly review and I already knew everything, so it was good. Latin never changed. Physics went downhill after learning electrostatics. CSIII got harder as we prepared for the AP test. History improved a lot too (I suppose I do better on more recent events). English is about the same. Math was a bit better...

    And now, I'm [technically] a senior! The final run! The road to freedom! What the hell am I talking about?!

    I'll go now...*walks away rejected*
