Thursday, March 7, 2002... Made a tiny (huge) error in calculating my grades in math. :D I forgot to include the 100 points we get to drop, HELL YEEEEEEEEEES. So, I only have to get like 40% on the test tomorrow and if I get 81% I'll have a B in the class. Am feeling SO much better now; it means I have a pretty steady C (C dattara Fanime ni ittemo ii to omou shi ne- saigo made ganbarakya kedo daijoubu to omou). ^^ I've studied all morning and I'm not-quite halfway through the chapter, but I'm feeling a lot better. Kix-chan: hontou ni~?! O.O Atashi ni copic kau~~~?!! Nihon de wa US no takasa yori hanbun kurai?!! Shi-shiranakatta...sonna sugoi koto... O.O Kix-chan ga atashi no tame ni kattara, atashi...aaah~~ nandemo suru yo~~ *_* *kirakira* Kix-chan tte yasashisugiru you~~~ wakaranai koto oshiete moratte, copic kau tte itte nante~~~ X3 Yoosh~ Fanime de Kix-chan to issho ni cosupurei no bishounentachi wo ou tame ni, benkyou shinakya XD Faito!! Kikyo-chan, arigatou ne. Ima wa, daijoubu ja nai kedo mou sugu de daijoubu da to omou yo. ^^; Kikyo-chan mo tsurain deshou, ima wa gakkou de? Issho ni ganbarou? Sore de kono mae ni tone no peeji misete kurete arigatou. Kyou wa benkyou owattara, manga ni mo ganbaru ka na. Owattara Kikyo-chan ni miseru yo; mitai no naraba :3 Oh, and I adopted Aa-ya. *points* Everyone look upon his gayness and cheer up if you're stressed like me. Because fangirlism is medicine for the soul. XD *runs off to study* //watashi, dou mieru?//01:45 p.m. Thursday, March 7, 2002... Oh yeah, and unless my math grades are to my mother's satisfaction, I'm not going to Fanime. Thanks for choosing the one big event I look forward to all year round, to make my life miserable with. So anyway, study. //watashi, dou mieru?//11:42 a.m. Thursday, March 7, 2002... Convinced my mother I was having a school-related nervous breakdown (which I was), and stayed home. Just woke up a little while ago, since all the hysterics and sobbing of yesterday wore me out. Need to go study... //watashi, dou mieru?//11:42 a.m. Wednesday, March 6, 2002... ...... I am in so much trouble with grades. Again. Shit. Somehow I missed two lessons of math, when I thought I only missed one. And test is day after tomorrow, and I've forgotten how to do even the problems I knew. I have to pass this- just passing is enough; but I don't know if I can. Blah. Oh, and midterm on Friday too...had two projects due today but I skipped one (and got away with it) and did it tonight. I don't know why everything in our school falls on the same week; it's very hellish and painful and I want to cry. I meant to study all night, but fell asleep the second I came home (around 4:30) and slept till past nine...my mom was mad at first and then started fussing over my "health". I am miserable. Really miserable. //watashi, dou mieru?//01:18 a.m. Saturday, March 2, 2002... np: Doko ni Ittandarou Ano Baka wa - Chara Kix-chan, Fanime nara kotoshi mo Santa Clara da to omou kedo...sellers permit nara Santa Clara de no chiisakute minikui biru wo sagasenakute naranai no?

XD AAYAAAA!!! I think that's my favorite of all your layouts so far; pretty pretty pretty~!! *_* Also, Utena movie art is definitely that good, because I've never seen a more perfect-looking anime. I think the only word for it is "dazzling". Some people don't like the movie since it's even stranger than the TV series, but I've always loved it even without understanding it 100% ^^;; (People shouldn't complain since they get their time's worth just with the visuals XD) Sore ni can you mail me your address again? Because I lost it since I'm so scatterbrained.. ^^;;; Just watched the Buffy rerun; as I was home for it the first time ever. Felt really badly for Spike though... ;_; I knew it would turn out that way for sure, ever since the start. The whole situation was too unhealthy. But...still. He looked...so... ;_; //watashi, dou mieru?//06:36 p.m. Thursday, February 28, 2002... I hate the way food just VANISHES in our house. They shop and it's GONE. Always. And at the moment I'm absolutely starving, because ah~ all week except maybe one day (?) I've only had one meal a day ^^; And really thirsty all day today, but our school has really bad selection of drinks so I bought yogurt hoping that would help...did not. Hungry... //watashi, dou mieru?//11:39 p.m. Thursday, February 28, 2002... np: Drops of Jupiter - Train Kix-chan, un un. Fanime ni ikun da, zettai ni~!

Like if I need a work license or something ^^; Kix-chan nara wakaru ka na? Adeline, I never liked the animation for Utena TV much, but my tapes aren't very good quality...so it might be really nice and I'd never know *sweatdrop* But, the Utena movie is a visual masterpiece, not just simply good animation quality. I cry during the dance scene each time I watch it, just for the sheer beauty of it all. (And it's only 1/3 CG!!! To think 2/3 of it was drawn by hand so flawlessly is hard to even imagine!!) I love that movie, I love it. And my lip is okay, it hurts less than my pride ^^; Congratulations on getting the test scores you wanted! //watashi, dou mieru?//05:20 p.m. Wednesday, February 27, 2002... np: Drops of Jupiter - Train Whee...watched the Grammys. Very pleased that this won best rock song; it's one of my favorites. Their performance was lovely too. Returned to school today, and shortly after lunch while juggling books a my locker, my paperback text on writing proper term papers jumped out of my arms and bit me. I have no other words for what it did; it bit me. Book: *chomps on Meimi's lip* Meimi: OH SHIT. Friends: O_O ... Meimi: *shriek* IS IT BLEEDING?!! Ali: No, no. It's not bleeding. Meimi: I taste blood. Ali: .....er, nevermind, it is bleeding. Meimi: *digs out compact* .... *ururu* Ali: Ah. Does it hurt really badly? Meimi: I don't GIVE A DAMN about how much it hurts, although it does hurt significantly. The POINT is that my lip is now swelling and bleeding, because I somehow managed to HIT MYSELF IN THE HEAD WITH MY TERM BOOK. Do you know how MORTIFYING THAT IS?!! That's one of the more idiotic things I've done in a while. My lip is still swollen, although it is no longer obviously blue and bruised. Alica: It's okay. Nobody will even notice now that the swelling's gone down. Meimi: *reassured* 'Kaasan: *two hours later* What happened to your lip? Meimi: .... *ururu* //watashi, dou mieru?//10:08 p.m. Wednesday, February 27, 2002... Adeline, I can't reccomend the Utena movie more highly. :3 It's been my Favorite Movie Ever for quite a long time; I love it to pieces. Then again, if the ambiguity of the TV series upset you... ^^; Ah, at the very least you should see it just for the visuals. It's got flawless, detailed animation, beautifully-painted backgrounds, and some nice character designs. *kiran* I wanna go watch it again now, but unfortunately I have to go to school today. //watashi, dou mieru?//06:34 a.m. Tuesday, February 26, 2002... *fufufufu* I'm home again today, and if I can stay awake I MIGHT just watch that movie. I'm writing another mail to Les, and eeriely, even the Utena movie is starting to make a lot of sense. A LOT of sense. I think I can recognize a signal that I need to get back to school when I see one. But really, I think I've figured out how everything links together and what it really means to be a prince. *fufufufu* Adeline, thank you! *glomp* I've missed you~~ //watashi, dou mieru?//11:57 a.m. Monday, February 25, 2002... Now, I want us all to take a moment to CONSIDER how completely sick and stuffy and drugged I have to BE to understand the last six episodes of Utena. I don't mean just "vaguely", I mean I would watch and all the confusion was suddenly cleared. If not immediately, I would pause the tape and then I had it, and wrote it down. I've re-read my notes about ten times now, and they still make perfect sense to me, because I think I finally unraveled the main theme- ah, if you'd explained it to me, I would have agreed with you like I always knew it but never put it into words before. (Most Utena discussions are like that, I've found.) But I think it's different sitting down and comprehending the whole of it on your own. I sent them to Les; we'll see what she says and find out if they're really brilliant insights, or just my feverish dillusions. Today at her school, a girl she lent Furuba to wrote her a note that said, "Kyou is cute and I want his pants, but I think Yuki is the one." It wasn't until Les went and embarrassed herself by confronting the girl, that she realized that the girl literally wanted Kyou's cargo pants. She says that she's a dirty dirty person for thinking these things and liking to think these dirty dirty things, and it's all my fault. You know, my first strong memory of Les after we met, is our very first sleepover in, ah, was it summer of 2000? back when she was still innocent. And she wanted to know what an "uke" was, and Ali got so flustered that she couldn't explain, and I had so much fun watching Ali get flustered that I wouldn't tell. I told her that I doubted it's entirely my fault, but still- looking back that way, it's just...amazing how things change, you know? XD I guess I mean how amazingly it's possible for me to corrupt innocence so quickly. (I corrupted Ali, who corrupted Leslie (rather Ali corrupted her with anime and manga, and I corrupted her with...um, general corruption), who corrupted her own mother, who ended up being way more corrupted than I am.) So it all works out. //watashi, dou mieru?//08:55 p.m. Monday, February 25, 2002... I am sorely tempted to watch the movie now, you know. But I just figured out the entire connection between the "boy who saved the girl in the boat" in both TV and movie seperate context, and am feeling brilliant. And am too tired to go watch the whole movie anyway. //watashi, dou mieru?//04:05 p.m. Monday, February 25, 2002... I am home sick with a small cold. I am drugged out of my mind. I just watched the last six episodes of Utena, and now there is NO way to convince me that Ikuhara wasn't drugged when he directed that show. Because I took notes and things as I watched. And I UNDERSTAND *ALL* OF IT NOW. Yes. All of it. HAH. HAH. HAAAAAAAAAH. And it took drugs to do it. //watashi, dou mieru?//04:05 p.m. Saturday, February 23, 2002... Person who came here looking for this, I applaud you. Also, it's rare a day goes by that I don't get a search hit for NokoruxSuoh yaoi (which pleases me), or some kind of Digimon Tamers crossbreeding pairing (which doesn't please me quite as much). Leslie said the reason Nokoru got left out of the X anime is because that isn't the real Rijichou. That's the Replacement Rijichou they have to pose as the Rijichou, for when Nokoru and Suoh are making out in a closet and Akira is off making tea. I feel so much better about all that now. Also this. Don't we wish. //watashi, dou mieru?//09:43 p.m. Saturday, February 23, 2002... Hm...today was pretty fun. Yesterday: Ali: Okay. We'll pick you up at nine-thirty. Meimi: ....*snort* (Her family is ALWAYS late. As a RULE.) Ali: What? What? Meimi: Right. I don't believe you. But whatever. Today: Meimi: *wakes up, I kid you not, at literally the crack of dawn. Because I forgot to put her laundry in the dryer. Putters around. Is ready to go at about nine.* Meimi: *picks up phone as it rings* Ali: Uh...something came up at dad's work, and he said it wouldn't take long, but it was a while ago and he's not back. So. We'll...be...late. Meimi: 'Kay. *I knew it, I knew it, HAH...* Two and a half hours later... Ali: *hahah* So, uh, how was your morning? Meimi: ...no offense meant, really, Ali. But I spent it waiting for you. Ali: Um. So we had ice cream, then her dad dropped us off at the Santa Cruz boardwalk. I'd never been before, but actually wasn't that interested- it was wildly expensive, actually. We sighted a truly pathetic-looking haunted house, and as we entered I realized we'd paid .40 each for the most pathetic haunted house ever. However, there was a point where they blew gusts of air out of nowhere at the car, and I got scared. So despite the lameness, seeing as I was startled, I figured I got my .40 worth. We also spent a half-hour watching the animatronic show of "Captain Ned and Seaweed the Wonder Parrot". We watched two shows. We're so silly sometimes. After that we had a nice dinner out on the pier, and came home...to find my mom freaking out that I'd gotten more college brochures (now that my PSAT scores were better I get all these really nice things in the mail...like CD-Roms and stuff). Specifically, one from a college in LA that my college counselor and her were pretty hyped for me to get into. I don't know. See, I've been pretty determined to go for a Japanese/art double major, but...no school really has fabulous programs for both at once. And the truth is that I do pretty well with my Japanese, and I'm finally thinking that I might just go for an art college. Or at least take a shot at applying. Who knows. Because it's somewhat disappointing, really...I really want to get better at both, you know? But Japanese is really something my mother wants me to use, whereas I just like it for itself. I'm not making sense. Because I actually want to go abroad for a year just because I'm interested, but I don't know where I'd find the time/excuse if I'm not majoring in any kind of Japanese-related program. Ergh. At any rate, I'm going to start looking into summer art programs...even if I can't get into a really good one, at the very minimum I'm going to look around the community colleges for some kind of art program. I have to get working on a portfolio and things...just the idea is so overwhelming... //watashi, dou mieru?//08:34 p.m. Saturday, February 23, 2002... *mind breaks* FFnet Furuba... ......summary says Tooru x every male Juunishi... MY. MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIND. *whimper* Aayaaaa...AAYAAAAA...don't DO it, AAYAA... *has hysterics* RITSU?!! RITSU?!! Ritsu~?!! Ritsu who idolizes AAYA, or more specifically, Aaya's gayness? And...and...ew....HIRO... Oh. My. God. Momiji. I will go sob now. And have hysterics. //watashi, dou mieru?//10:11 a.m. Friday, February 22, 2002... Happy fact I discovered last night while doing research for my Pretear site: Takako (and all her other personas in the show too, it seems) is played by Horie Yui. Suprised me. I love her voice, but it suprised me that she played that variety of roles. ^^ I didn't know Horie could...cackle like that. Going away tomorrow to Santa Cruz with Ali and her family and various friends. Wheeee! I've never been there, ever. Think we're going to the Boardwalk, or something? ^^; Making really good progress with my current art project- I wanted to try using Copic markers to do a realism portrait. It's working out pretty well, but...I'm almost done with the face, and after that I lack all required colors. ^^; Need to run up to SJ soon so I don't get behind on the project much, and get...at minimum, five colors. I don't have the money to cover that kind of shopping. This is Very Bad. Perhaps if I don't eat this week, I could send away from the website but...of course the catalog doesn't look much like the real colors. I /think/ I want R000 (or R00), BV20, BV11, E40, and maybe E35? :/ But not sure. And I really want this project to be perfect since it'll be a gift, so I can't afford to get it wrong ^^; //watashi, dou mieru?//05:49 p.m. Thursday, February 21, 2002... np: Kaze ga Fuku Hi - Sakamoto Maaya Really don't want to do my schoolwork, and while I am exhausted (nowadays I sleep and sleep and no matter what, I'm always exhausted to the point I ache all over) am pondering the idea of just pulling an all-nighter and watching anime. I feel like watching something that will make me positively cry my eyes out. Finally am getting around to downloading more Esca songs as I continue my Yoko Kanno kick- I have Esca CDs, but for some reason rarely listen to them. I haven't listened to this song in ages. I love it. Ugh. Better go write paper. //watashi, dou mieru?//11:54 p.m. Thursday, February 21, 2002... np: Love Breaks... - Shin Shirayuki Hime Densetsu Pretear Still in an unbelivably miserable mood. Don't even have it in me to pretend to be in a good mood at school. All the girls in my class are spoiled brats who have nothing better to do with their time but bitch about our Powderpuff uniform styles and who gets what number. I have vocab words to be looking up, a paper due first thing tomorrow morning to write, and a textbook to be reading. But no will to do it. Shannako, thanks for the mail. *squeeze* Thanks a lot. You're wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Oh, and I'll be a willing slave to anyone who can find/send me a full copy of this song; or know anywhere selling the CD (OST 2) at a reasonable price? CD Japan rates aren't worth it, and the BGM for the series is only so-so - the real power of the music in the series only comes through noticably when they play instrumentals of the opening and ending songs, and of course whenever they use "White Destiny" as an insert song. The sample of this song from the site is lovely. Sasame dripping angst about Takako and stuff, but it could matter less what he sings about. I cracked up in vol3 of the manga when Himeno is explaining what it is to Pret, and then she does with Sasame. And she says, "But it's so embarrassing, of course..." and on the side is written, "Plus, Sasame has such a sexy voice..." ^^; //watashi, dou mieru?//11:54 p.m. Wednesday, February 20, 2002... np: Duvet [accoustic] - Serial Experiments Lain Kikyo-chan, I actually already challenged the system. See, I enrolled back when two years of language at the school was not a graduation requirement, which is part of many reasons why I ended up going to my school. But around my sophomore year, the school said, "Oh, you need to take two years of French or Spanish starting with this class' year," so my mother argued with the principal about how it wasn't fair to swap the requirements around after enrollment. So they gave me a waiver, and I don't technically need to take language at all to graduate. However, most UC colleges do require two years of foreign language. So I'm taking it now, purely so I can get into whatever college of my choice without problems. ^^; Thanks muchly for the cheering up though. *glomp* Wuv. //watashi, dou mieru?//09:40 p.m. Wednesday, February 20, 2002... np: Taisetsu wo Kizuku Mono - Chara I hate my school. Meimi: I've fulfilled all requirements, and took 70 units freshman year. So I want to take 50 units next year, because I'll have to take Japanese class at night too. Counselor: No. You have to take 60. Meimi: *disgustedly* Why? Counselor: There is no why. You just have to. It's the rule. Meimi: *the hell* Then WHAT AM I GOING TO TAKE? (I'm running out of CLASSES for goodness sake >_<;) Counselor: *stares at my transcript* .... Meimi: .... Counselor: ...are you interested in marine biology? Meimi: No. Counselor: *stares at transcript some more* ...um. Sign up for psychology. Meimi: *TWITCH* This is such BS. I took a WHOLE EXTRA CLASS that counts for NOTHING. *NOTHING*! The heellll...then I had to sit through a ten minute lecture over how I'm such a moron for refusing to take French, and ha-ha she will LAUGH at me when it turns out all the Japanese classes in the area are CANCELLED this fall, HAH, it'll serve me right. And when I told her none of the local colleges are offering it, and the Monterey Institute's sumer program is 00...she tells me to see if I can take some class in like, SJ over the summer?!! That maybe meets just two nights a week, so I get it over with?!! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT WOMAN THINKING? JUST BECAUSE *OUR* SCHOOL'S LANGUAGE PROGRAM IS *AWFUL*. I have no desire to learn French or Spanish. It's that simple. And if just some college would LET ME CHALLENGE THEIR JAPANESE TWO CLASS, it would be EASY. Because I told her I would surely pass any exam easily (I'd have to study up on writing kanji, as I've never had to write any, but I can probably recognize maybe 150-ish?), and she fucking talked to me like I was a moron. "Well, you don't understand. You have to have JAPANESE TWO *KNOWLEDGE* to pass its EXAM." NO SHIT. *rips out hair* I am not happy. Not happy at all. Because we have a BAD language program, I'm gonna be devoting 5 hours a night, two nights a week, to some class where I KNOW ALL THE MATERIAL. And all I'm asking for is to take one less class- which will not affect my ability to graduate at ALL -and they WILL NOT DO IT. "Because if we let YOU take 50 units, EVERYONE would have some excuse to take 50 units." I TOOK 70 UNITS!!! ERGH //watashi, dou mieru?//06:39 p.m. Tuesday, February 19, 2002... np: Aqua - Chikyuu Shoujo Arjuna I've been on quite the Yoko Kanno kick lately...at the karaoke party, Les played a bit of this OST, and I'm in love with it. All the tracks I've dowloaded so far are pretty. I don't know. I just feel kind of...empty lately. I feel like I'm lost somehow; like I'm missing something important. I'm not feelng depressed, really. Just feeling alone and empty. I sit around, and I hate myself for the most inane things. Small, tiny points that nobody would even remember except me. If only I'd said that then. If only I had the right words then. If only, if only. And I ignore the big things; the big problems I have. I skip over them as though they don't exist. All the while being so horribly selfish and nasty, and not doing anything about it. I'm terrible sometimes, and I know it, and I hate myself for it. But I don't change big things at all. These past few years of high school, I think I have changed a tiny bit. I only know because I look back on myself in the past, and I can't stand myself up until today. But even if I know I'm a little bit better than I was two years ago, back then I was terrible but I thought I liked myself. But suddenly, you know, with this year comes this whole big realization. That it wasn't that I hated everyone else and liked myself, it was really that I was the problem. My own selfishness causes all my problems. The way I'm just so unspeakably selfish, I can't even begin to explain. It sickens me. I hate myself for relying on Ali the way I do so much, after I tell myself and other people not to do exactly what I do. And it pains me, because it isn't really that nobody cares. They do care. But I'm so stuck where I am; I don't want to bother anybody with anything that comes up. This year I've relied on Les a lot. A lot. In, I think, a good way. But it also upsets me, because I'm getting the whole relationship of friendship I've never had with Ali, with Les. And Ali and I'll never have that. The fact that we won't is almost 100% my own fault; my own fault of my selfish self of these past four years. And it breaks my heart to know that I'm spending all these years of my life with someone I call my best friend but we just can not talk seriously with one another. And I'm not blaming her for that. Rather, I don't even know why Ali still bothers with me. I wouldn't. But still, you know, it hurts. And this entire year I've been stuck in place, not talking to anyone except Les, really. And sometimes not even her- back in January, it looked like my mom had cancer, and while we waited for a month for the test results, I didn't tell a soul. Rather, my mom told me not to tell anyone, but after we found out that she didn't, I just kept on going. Even though that was one of the worst things this year, I never breathed a word about it to anyone. This year, I've been terrible. A lot of things have happened. I've said some of the worst things I've ever said in my life, to people I love the most. And I really don't know. Usually when I write things out, they start to make sense, but they aren't at all. I'm in a strange mood. I never feel empty like this, ever. I think I'm just going to sleep, and maybe things will seem a little clearer tomorrow. //watashi, dou mieru?//11:39 p.m. Tuesday, February 19, 2002... np: Reflection - Hayashibara Megumi New layout- Mawata-chan. I just love her character to pieces. She angsts so prettily and has such good taste in radio DJs. Mmm. Sasame. My brain still bleeds in shock from the below post. Anyway. I've near-failed all that I've taken, but oh well; they're fun. :D Off to sleep. //watashi, dou mieru?//12:32 a.m. Monday, February 18, 2002... To: Furuba ML. (Or, alternately, Furuba section of FFnet.) Re: THE CONTINUOUS BREAKAGE OF MY BRAIN due to fanfics. (And my brain does NOT break easily.) You can send me disgustingly OOC soppy YukixHaru mush. You can disturb me with the truly scary ideas of Yuki and Kyou "pretending" to like Tooru to make each other "jealous". You can even break my brain with that ShigurexKyou fanfic where Shigure is thinking of Kyou in alternately kitty and human forms, and I'm not sure which one he was dreaming of having sex in the bathtub with- the mere thought of which makes me whimper. BUT. Hatori m-preg, as a seahorse or not, is UNACCEPTABLE. There are LIMITS to how much you can stomp on the few remaining fragments of my broken brain, and that is simply TOO FAR. And no, I did not stick around to find out if he was really pregnant, but when Shigure and Aaya started planning the baby shower I took that as a good cue to flee for my life. So yes. Any words of comfort that anyone can offer to my poor brain would be greatly appreciated. //watashi, dou mieru?//11:48 p.m. Saturday, February 16, 2002... np: 'Rashiku' Ikimasho - Sailormoon Oookay. @_@ Today was the karaoke tanjoubi party for Les. What was assumed to be a three-hour thing ended up stretching into, um, nine hours. ^^;; We taped ourselves alternately singing and babbling, agreeing to meet in ten years and play the tapes again and laugh at our stupidity. :D Oh, we didn't even tape that much of the singing and we filled up two tapes. ^^; We had so much fun that we decided that owning a karaoke machine was essential to our future survival. It was seriously fun. XD Um...let's see...I sang a lot, but for some reason my voice today was seeming higher than it usually is. I was singing Chara and having no trouble whatsoever hitting the high notes- usually the last bit in "Sweet" gives me trouble ("sore wa kare no bakudan de kogashite---eeee"? I think?) and I hit it easily. *laugh* I sang, let's see, "Aishitai no", "Time Machine", "Miruku", "Sweet", "Scarlet", "Aligatou ga Fukakunaru", "Dive Into Shine", "Blurry Eyes", "Yume Miru Ai Tenshi" (I disturbed everyone with that song :D), "Tsumetai Hana", "White Destiny"...duets or group songs were "Catch You Catch Me remix", "Peony Pink", "Moonlight Densetsu", "'Rashiku' Ikimasho", "Get Over", "Tooi Kono Machi de", "Daisuke to Ken no Kaimono Carol" (I scared everyone with the fact that I knew the dialogue by heart XD), "Super Drive", "Glaring Dream", "I'm Your Friend" (Ali's always said she envisioned Quatre jumping on the furniture while singing it to Trowa, who went "..." at him. Les suggested he should jump on the bed while wearing a thong, singing to Trowa. My brain bled.), "Dearest", "White Destiny", "Yume no Naka he", "Takeshi no Paradise" (SO. MUCH. FUN. XD "O! NE! E! SA! N!"), "Natsu no E", "Gift", "Bokura no Rekishi", "Forever Love"...add the other solo songs, and a very long amount of time devoted to fangirlish discussions. Like molesting the LotR picture cube I bought Les (it has a picture of Boromir blowing the Horn of Gondor. Yeah. That's not why I bought it. Really.), singing "Happy Birthday" to Subaru in the Marilyn Monroe-style, and you know. The usual. We also envisioned Saitou wearing a backwards baseball cap (his...antennae...would stick through the hole where your resize the hat), baggy jeans, and an oversized basketball shirt with "aku soku zan" written on the back. He would be the leader of a street gang called the Wolves. Sano would be the leader of another gang called the Roosters. I don't even remember how we came up with that. But everyone who likes Kenshin NEEDS to run out and buy the final Kyoto Hen DVD this instant. For the episodes? Nope, I haven't seen them. The dub outtakes are hilarious though, and I MUST buy that DVD for those. Shishio's voice actor is usually hysterical (as is Hiko's), but he outdid himself this time. I assure you that after you've heard Shishio on helium, you can never look at him quite the same way. Shishio outtake: Can you pull down my pants? No, you can't pull down my pants! Meimi: *some hours later*frown* ...wait. Does Shishio even WEAR pants? Ali: Of course he does. Les: ...wait...no, you're right. He doesn't wear pants. He wears that...cloak...and... Ali: ...bandages... Meimi: ...everywhere... Us: ...... o.O;;;;;; Also a highlight of the outtakes: "And Yummy said...wait. What? 'Yumi'?! Well, Yummy, Yumi...it LOOKS like 'Yummy'!" Also, don't miss Hiko going, "Rock on, Kenshin." XD And every single person in the cast struggling, as per usual, to say "ama kakeru ryuu no hirameki". The only downside to about eight hours of karaoke though, is that after dancing around the room nonstop in a pair of platform sandals, I ache all over. ^^;;; But overall the day was fabulous- Les' mom is hilarious. Her vocabulary is made up of fangirl Japanese. It's the cutest thing I've ever heard. "Hidoi~!" "Arigatou gozaimashita~" "Hai, douitashimashite!" SO. CUUUTE! XD Oh, and Janaki...because Les loves me and knows me SO WELL...I didn't even ASK for it, and she gave me a high-quality copy of the X Lego article. I'll scan it tomorrow. XD Tin-chama, sankyu for the Valentine's card! *glomp* I'm going to sleep now. Really sad- but I did wake up at seven AM to draw Les' birthday picture, so... ^^ //watashi, dou mieru?//10:40 p.m. Friday, February 15, 2002... *pokes pitas* //watashi, dou mieru?//08:36 p.m. Thursday, February 14, 2002... np: For Fruits Basket [Horie Yui version] - Fruits Basket Bell, I don't suppose you've heard the Horie Yui versions of Furuba songs on her Kazeiro single? I reccomend it to any Furuba fans who liked the music. I always adored the opening in its original version, but...Horie Yui's version just seems to blow the original away. The song was always gentle and soothing, but with Tooru singing it, the gentleness is almost overwhelming. It's just...so beautiful now, in a way that it seems that Tooru can heal anyone's wounds just by singing. I love it. //watashi, dou mieru?//10:05 p.m. Thursday, February 14, 2002... So I'm walking to my last class of the day, past the parking lot. And there's this huge crowd, and I look over and see - I kid you not - a person in a bear suit. More specifically, a bear suit and a vest with little red hearts on it, carrying a bunch of balloons and candy. I wave to the bear, smile, and keep walking, though there's a huge crowd in the hall as people stop to gawk. "How can you even find a giant dancing bear nowadays?" I say to my friends. Yet I consider it kind of cute, assuming some girl's boyfriend sent it. Not two minutes later (after most of my history class has already run down to the front of school to see the bear if they missed him the first time), I get called out of class. To come to the front of the school. Yes. The dancing bear was for me. From my parents. ...... XD My mom is ordinarily very normal, but I guess with her anniversary and all, she must have been in one crazily good mood to send me a dancing bear. I mean, really. :D A dancing bear?!! Who dances in front of the school? As a large crowd watches on? (Admittedly, I did hint at one point last year that I wanted her to do something cute like that- on my last day of finals last year, we were watching out the window at the parking lot...and some girl's parents took her car out of the driveway, replaced it with a brand new one, put a big shiny red bow around it, and waited patiently with a video camera for an hour and a half for their daughter to walk out. :D) But SERIOUSLY! XD A DANCING BEAR!! //watashi, dou mieru?//03:58 p.m. |
