. Tuesday, August 7, 2001..."Lalalala utao sora wo miagete. Lalala it's my life aruite ikou..." np: Tooi Kono Machi de - Cardcaptor Sakura How am I so dead tired when I woke up at one PM today? =_= Anyway...I went off to cut my hair today. For anybody else this wouldn't be strange, but it's a huge event for me. I've had my hair waay long pretty much all my life; and I just have never cut it. I go in for the occasional trim. I think I chopped off eight inches today. The people wandering past me as it went off stared at the floor and went, "That's a LOT of hair. o_O" ^^; I really did decide this summer that I wanted to be a different, better person from now on...and I feel like this is part of it. I feel freer somehow, strange and silly as it sounds. The cut is absolutely gorgeous; it falls a bit past my shoulders and is layered beautifully. And I'm going to try soo hard to lose another ten pounds, because if I do I think I might even start to think that I'm a pretty person. How I look or how other people look honestly doesn't matter to me; I really don't care what people think about me, as long as the people who I love think well of me. But I do like looking nice when the idea suits me, and it can help me just feel better about myself sometimes. I have never in my life once been a pretty person, and it's never really bothered me since the people I'm around really don't care. But this year I got a little fed up with it, so I tried to lose weight. I ended up losing twenty pounds, decided I liked the change (but I'm still overweight and finding it difficult to lose more at this point *cringes*) so I decided at the beginning of the summer I'd cut my hair; 'Kaasan has never agreed with the idea before, but was happy about it now since she told me since I wasn't as fat as I used to be then I didn't need to 'hide behind my hair'. I never thought of it that way (that I ever 'hid' behind it or that I wanted to cut it now because of losing weight), but maybe it was a subconscious thing? I think it's more I just like changing for the better. So now I'm sitting here, looking at my hair that isn't going to get caught on things or tangle anymore, and feeling so free and cheerful with things. And looking forward so much to this school year (as much is possible), and to Leslie coming home, and to meeting up with Ali. And I want this to be a wonderful year, because while I think that Leslie will be staying nearby (I think she's looking at Berkley which is thankfully so close, because I'd go crazy if I didn't get to see her anymore), this will be the last year that she'll be living so close. I want us to have fun together especially, since after this year I'll be a senior and leaving myself. And things are changing, and I'm changing, and I'm very happy right now. ^^ .....Meimi whispered @ 12:16 a.m. Monday, August 6, 2001... np: Peony Pink - CLAMP Gakuen Tanteidan I so want to hurt Leslie for going off to Japan and leaving me with my Nokoru voice being so evil. She set him off in the first place. >_<; I sent her a loong mail telling her a few of the things he's been telling me and said, "I hope you're pleased with yourself." XD; I have other things I'd like to write, but how can I when he won't shut up?! >_<; Oooh... O_O I forgot I'm getting my hair cut today. *fleeees* Must go get ready for my day and print off pictures of the cut I want... .....Meimi whispered @ 01:46 p.m. Monday, August 6, 2001...Sono hou ga omoishiroi kara. np: Fly Me to the Moon [Aya Bossa Techno mix] - Evangelion Jin~! XD Thank you for saying you liked layout. X3 Could you possibly send me Stereotypical Vampire Fanfiction 3, if you have the time? For some reason my mailbox ate it, though I got all the Daiken ML comments saying how great it was. XD; Ack...I got all of three hours of sleep last night, so I think I'm sadly off to sleep to at least make an attempt at getting some of those hours back. I function eeriely well with no sleep to the point that it scares all my friends ("*groggily* I got five hours of sleep last night." "*grumpily* I got four." "*genkily* XD XD XD XD XD I got two and a half!! I WIIIIN~!!!" "....how the HELL do you manage to not only stay awake, but be in an unaturally good mood? O_O" ".......you're scary.") but I think it's probably a good thing for me to sleep as much as I can this next week, before school starts and I return to my usual two-and-a-half hours of sleep. X3 .....Meimi whispered @ 12:19 a.m. Sunday, August 5, 2001..."Yappri kimi wa dare yori suki dakara 'sayonara' dekinai!" np: Saa! - Mamotte Shugogetten! Was playing with Japanese Yahoo! Auctions, despite the fact that's I;m soo broke right now. And I didn't know that the 20 Mensou ni Onegai! dramas had a different cast from the anime...since Duklyon's were the same I just assumed 20 Mensou would be too. But no. ^^ Yamadera Kouichi as Shigetoshi? (Oooh, I wanna tell Leslie to tell her mom XD) Yamaguchi Kappei as AKIRA?!! XD Wonder who does Utako's voice; I couldn't recognize the name. And I don't care if I have to go back to school anymore, because when I do then Leslie will be back and we can all three do things again. I miss her and Ali. But Ali; now I have no idea when she's coming home, though before Wednesday seems likely as I figured she'd be home yesterday. o.O; Am getting lonely. X-X .....Meimi whispered @ 09:03 p.m. Sunday, August 5, 2001...I hate stupid nagging idiots. IF I BLOODY WELL TRANSLATED THE REST OF WEDDING PEACH I'D HAVE IT UP ON MY WEBSITE OR ON SHIORI'S. HAVE SOME SENSE; WHERE THE HELL DO THEY THINK I'M HIDING THE TRANS?!!! THEY DON'T *EXIST*!! I don't even reply to mails regarding translations anymore. >_>; *feels better* .....Meimi whispered @ 05:26 p.m. Saturday, August 4, 2001...Tooi sora he, ryoute hiroge, kagayaki atsumeta nara... np: Kagayaki wo Atsumete~i believe - Noda Junko REALLY good song... Shannako, you know the video store? Outside of it, near the register, there's a rack that reads "for sale" where they sell old tapes. Ones without cases are $5 and ones with are $12; but I think the rest of the Digimon eps were only the *really* early episodes. Like the first three tapes. Adeline, welcome back! XD And yes, I did the CG on the layout; thank you for saying you liked it ^^ *ohohohos* I'm totally broke at the moment, but now I'm about to start saving up for the drama CDs I want...I can't wait; should have enough money by the end of the month or so XD And my school is really annoying me. The way orientation works is that you dress up and get your school picture taken while there, but this year they're making it so everyone has to wear their uniform. =_= I don't see why we should have to; in the yearbook we'll all look like clones. 'Kaasan got annoyed and said she wasn't going to pay for pictures this year to get a picture of me in my uniform...but she said that since Aniki is getting his senior portrait done soon, I should get my picture taken there...maybe I will...it seems a little silly to go out of the way for it though, when I'll be getting my portrait done next year ^^; Hm...and speaking of my school being stupid, they usually sell books themselves, but this year I guess they got tired of being responsible when things got messed up so we had to buy our books online. But~! They tells us NOW, two weeks before school, that the company they chose messed up everyone's orders. So we opened the box and discovered my honors history book was missing, which turns out to be ANCIENT and nobody else has it; not even amazon.com =_=;;; and, the school gets to say, "It's not our problem that you don't have a book; if you show up to school without it then you'll be unprepared." Evil school...at least my schedule is sooo easy this year, as long as the Honors English teacher doesn't end up being hard. And Honors History is taught by my freshman relgiion teacher...nooo... ;_________; She's...um...well, firstly she's scary, but she's also one of those people who goes around acting like the Ultimate Authority On Religion. And nobody prays in her class anymore, because she'll (seriously O_O) SCREAAAAAAAAAAM at you for "not praying the right way" and "if you have a message to God then make it clear". I tend to think praying out loud in class is rarely helpful anyway since if you're praying, the rest of the world doesn't need to hear about it; it's even used to hurt people sometimes. >_<; Ways to spread gossip about people and things like that...but it's a school rule to pray like that in every class. =_= Sure, it's not all bad things, but why should prayer be used as a weapon like that? I really, really don't want to go back to school. .....Meimi whispered @ 03:22 p.m. Friday, August 3, 2001..."Onna....tte..." "....kowaaiii..." np: Butter-fy [piano vocal version] - Digimon Shi-a-wa-se. X3 I ended up waking up waay early and going to my school to get my schedule fixed (ugh, taking choral >_<; I REALLY did NOT want to take that because you have to do SO many things outside class! *scowls* Singing at mass and Christmas festival and fine arts night and grandparents day; ughh...I ALWAYS hate the songs too. Am NOT happy, and I hate my stupid school since they're understaffed and evil and won't give me MY DRAMA CLASS.) But then we left for SJState and the office 'Kaasan needed was clooosed ^^;;; and we headed over to Mitsuwa. I only got to see Kix for a little bit though ;_; We need to get back up there sometime when you have break nee~ ;__; Sooo I shopped. I bought: -Digimon 01 tape 13 (it's mine!! It's MINE, Jin!!!! XD XD XD I HAVE THE FINAL TAITO WAFF!!! IT'S FINALLY!!!! FINALLY!! MIIIIIIIIINEEEEE~~~~~~!!!) -D.N.Angel 4 and 5 (now I only need three~ six isn't out yet, right?) -Inuyasha 17 and 19 (Lots and lots of Fluffy; what else do I need? X3) -20 Mensou ni Onegai! 2 (CUUUUUUUUUUUUTE~~!!!) -Duklyon 1 -Gohou Drug 1 (...the highlight purchase of the day XD) As usual, they were out of Gravi (arghh, this is the third time! whenever anyone ELSE goes up they ALWAYS, ALWAYS HAVE IT!!). If anyone wants to know how to make me happy... =_=;; And Chobbits had some kind of furoku with it, but it was SIXTEEN DOLLARS. O_O No, no, no, no. Anyway. 20 Mensou was cute especially since I'm addicted to the CLAMP School episodes at the moment; Utako and Akira are the cutest thing ever. XD Good ending; Utako is just sooo cute~! XD Gohou Drug is looking to be one of the better CLAMP manga I've read as far as story goes. *_* Not only are the guys REALLY REALLY PRETTY, but the story is just so surreal and interesting. H_H And Kakei. Tomo-kun lookalikes are VERY VERY VERY GOOD. XD XD XD I'm dying to see the next tankoubon, the story really has me in suspense. *_* Nooow, the last Digimon tape. X3 It was FIVE DOLLARS, and had FIVE EPISODES on it. It made me very very happy, but...I was comparing it to the dub the whole time, and they came out pretty much even. Suprise, suprise. Besides the obvious nonexistent jokes, the translation for the dub is pretty much nearly word-for-word; and I actually really like the first-season dub. I can't stand listening to Japanese 01 Hikari and Takeru (so...SHRILL.... O_O), and Piedmon sounds too sinister for...well, a clown. O_O His voice is...like you're supposed to take him completely seriously. As he's turning the cast into keychains. =_=;;; And I think the Taito scene was actually cuter in the dub. And...Yamato's dub voice actor really deserves a cookie, because he did the Yamato Angst Scene almost the exact same way as Kazama Yuuto and (IMO) a little bit better. (But then, in the Japanese version, that H___H teenage voice coming out of a fifth-grader kind of weirds me out in 01; he's H_H and all that but he's not old enough for the voice he has XD;;) But the original still comes out even. The *violin* BGM playing as Jyou announces his Quest to Find Yamato. Mimi is lots cuter in the original. And.......they made me instantly happy, because the Taito waff scene came out dead even because! YES~~!!! THEY!! PLAYED!!! "Yuuki wo Tsubasa ni Shite" IN THE BACKGROUND~!!! AGAIIIIIIN!!!!! XD XD XD BUT, the dub does NOT get a cookie for chopping up the LadyDevimon/Angewomon bitchfight, because I don't remember quite how much they cut but I DO know it was nowhere NEAR as amusing. XD I swear that was one of the funniest things I've ever seen for that whole season. It basically goes like: "*swings Angewomon around by her HAIR about ten times and lets her FLY*" "*CRASHES and gets back up to slap LadyDevimon*" "*SLAP*!" "*SLAP*!" "*SLAP*!" Taichi/Koushirou: O_______O ...........women.......are.........SCAAAARY..... Hikari: *shrieks with this, "Yeeees! Goo~! Slap her more! Slap her more~!" expression on her face XD* GOOOO ANGEWOMON!! GOO~!! XD Well, it made MY night, anyway. XD .....Meimi whispered @ 09:44 p.m. Friday, August 3, 2001... np: Arigatou - Cardcaptor Sakura: Fuuin Sareta Card Exciiiited~~! X3 Kix-chan to aerun da~! Sore niii I figured out how to really delay everyone if they want to leave too early- just spend foreeeever getting ready. X3 Much much better than dragging my feet all the time, nee~ ^_~ And I swore I'd go to bed early, but I forgot to print off another set of directions to Mitsuwa =_= And then the comp wouldn't print the silly thing, so I had to write it out. And then I wrote out the way home, because I remembered we always get lost with Ali on the way home. ^^;; I'm addicted to this song suddenly- it's one of the better Sakura ones, I think; I usually dislike Tange Sakura's songs otherwise. ^^;;; Must get to sleeep... .....Meimi whispered @ 01:46 a.m. Thursday, August 2, 2001..."Konna ni suteki na ojousan na no ni..." "Watashi mo sou omou wa! XD" np: Jukyuuji no News - Kodocha *laughs hysterically* FORTY SEVEN DOLLARS, AMICHI. FORTY-SEVEN DOLLARS was the final price for TWO DRAMA CDs that I've been looking for FOREVER. My joy can not be described. The only way this could be better is if I'd found the 20Mensou or Duklyon dramas, but I'm not complaining. And I never even knew there was a drama CD for Shin Shunkaden- makes me wonder, but I'll be broke soon enough with this little spree for the dramas I'm buying. XD XD XD And I'm addicted to the 20Mensou episodes. I looove Utako. XD XD XD Off to eat breakfast. .....Meimi whispered @ 11:35 a.m. Wednesday, August 1, 2001..."Sakura wa, watashi jishin damono." np: X Character File Drama - Subaru Thanks to the sparkly cookie download from Taryn-san, I finally got the Subaru drama and don't have to wait around impatiently for school to come (heaven forbid T_T) so I can steal the Sei-chan one from Ali. ^^; They're amazing fun to listen to, though I'm much too attached to the "voices" each X character has in my mind. T-T I thought Subaru would have a slightly deeper voice, and Furusawa Touru still sort of annoys me as Sei-chan, since Sei-chan has always had Koyasu's voice in my mind and I'm not willing to change, as I like it too much. ^^; But I like him a lot better in the Subaru drama than in his own....but the bit where he laughs... o_O; You have to laugh WITH him, but still, it seems strange (to me) for Sei-chan to laugh like that. Little smirk-ish laugh yes, long cacklish laugh no. But now I have Setsuka to listen to all the time. <3 My idooool~~! Now, pitas, POST. It's been a day now.. =_= .....Meimi whispered @ 05:57 p.m. Wednesday, August 1, 2001... np: Tsumetai Hana - the brilliant green Pitas is being extraordinarily evil. Post, damn you. New layout, with Rekka from Bound, our manga. I reaaally need to learn how to do decent CGs- this looked slightly better in color but I really wanted it green. =_= Shiori, dou omou? ^^; You completely hooked me on this song~! And I love your new layout, by the way... Got about four hours of sleep last night- I want to go back to sleep, but even during summer if I wake up past ten-thirty I feel lazy; like I wasted the day. =_= So I tend to wake up around then no matter what...tiiired. I sat around ripping CDs all day long. T-T I think I might go eat. .....Meimi whispered @ 02:47 p.m. pitas.com: not as yummy as some bishounen, but hey! XD what is?
