oOo, First of December! ^-^ ...Do you know what this means? I'll be 18 in 30 more days. Oh my goodness. I'll be old enough to vote. And go to war (not that I would), and get my own credit card (online shopping, here I come). Wow. That's kind of scary. Especially since I really don't like politics. I'm not even sure if I'm a Republican or Democrat. They both seem kind of lame; the way the throw dirt at each other. What babies. Maybe I'll be part of the Green party. That's the Independents, right? Guh, I'm gonna have to do research. Bleh. I wish there were cheat-sheets for politics. Now that would be a good business idea. But it's much too early to think about this now. I just wanted to be awake for the beginning of December, the loveliest month of all. Which is reason enough not to ruin it with politics. * Happy December everyone! ^-^ *

This is pretty damn funny. My favorite's about the writting system, specifically Kanji ("roughly 4 million embodiments of your worst nightmares"). Mwahaha. Which is very true. But still, I can't wait to learn more Japanese. ^-^ Perhaps I should add Books on Japan to my wishlist. Yes, for all you family and maybe friends out there who would like to give me something I want this holiday season, you can find it on my Wishlist! Isn't that nice? Of course. You can find the link to it here. Thanks! :D

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! ^__^

I had a pretty good day today. Got to sleep in, watch the parade, talk to far-away family, and had an amazing dinner with my family. I am 120% stuffed. Good thing I'm not a turkey. ^_^ Plus, we get to eat the frozen pumpkin pie for breakfast since we couldn't eat it tonight. Mwaha. I love eating desert for breakfast. It's the best kind! But... I can't forget how lucky I am to have such a wonderful meal, let alone any meal at all, to eat. I'm uber thankful to be so fortunate as to eat with my family, not just tonight because of the oishii yams, turkey, potatoes, and green beans to name a few, but every night with every meal. I don't know why I'm so lucky, but I am, and I'm very thankful for it.

I recieved my Project Grad DVD today. Six months after I graduated, but that's not the point. Oh, and Project Grad was an all-night after graduation party the school funded at various hotspots around town like the bowling alley and the pool. If 95% or so of our graduating class had come, someone would have won a FREE Jetta. Needless to say, we didn't win. -.-; But someone did win $2500 though, but again, not the point. The point is, I just realized it has been six months since I graduated and I haven't done a damn thing. Oh my. Has it really been six months? It doesn't feel like it's been that long. Although reality has always taken a while to sink in. Kinda like those people who when ya hit them it takes 'em a couple seconds before saying ow. Except I say ow before ya hit me, and even when you don't. Hmm, a confusingly bad example. Anyway, I forgot where I was going with this. Oh yeah, the DVD. Very sad. Whoever put it together though did a good job with picking out the music. One interesting side note is that I'm not in it. At all. No, wait, I think I saw a sliver of my shirt in the corner of the screen in one shot, but that was basically it. Hmmm. I always knew cameras didn't like me. Either that or I'm not interesting enough to film on my graduation night. But honestly, it actually fits me well, because in a sense I wasn't really there. I mean, I was there and I've got the shirt to prove it, but not really there in the thick of it. I'm the type of person of fades in and out, the kind that disappears before you realize I'm gone and the type to be forgetten when I am around. I don't think I'm making sense, but yeah. I know, it's like that saying, 'you don't know what you've got till it's gone'. Yes. That explains me perfectly, both how people see me and how I see them. How wonderfully ironic. And tragic. But mostly ironic. And now I am rambling, so I should flee before I say anything else stupid. Jaa.

I also failed to mention that Musogato.com has been updated and sports a new layout as well. And "Shattered" (last week's Smallville) was probably the best and most heartbreaking ep I've seen yet. Michael Rosenbaum was simply amazing. So heartwrenching to see Lex in the loony bin like that. Even though he wasn't crazy. ...For the most part, anyway. o_O   *supports him anyway*

And while I'm talking about unbelieveable turns in television (because I really don't have anything better to say), I canNOT believe that those dorks voted out Rupert the pirate guy last week on Survivor. OhMyGod. He was like the mascot of the show! Not to mention all the fish he caught for everyone. Poor Rupert. I hope those dorks starve. Or, at least Jon anyway. Yarou.

Dum-dee-dum.... anything else? Oh yes. It appears that Mom's computer has truly, finally, kicked the electronic bucket. Although last time I wrote that, it miraculously came back to life. Perhaps I am not the one here who likes to prove people wrong. Oh God. I'm compairing myself to a computer. Wow, I think I just hit a new low. But... um... anyway... I'm mentioning this because it means I will have less access to my laptop, which means I will be blogging even less than I usually do. So cheers to that. Mwahaha.

I've come here a couple times this past week, written something, and then closed the page before sending in the entry. What I had written was not good enough. Since when did blogging become such a chore, that I must write it with such thought and care like my old English essays? Whatever the problem is, it is making me dislike writing here. Maybe I really should abandon this blog. But not now, since I have that cute sweater layout I made a few weeks ago. It's too silly to be a layout for my site, but it's perfect for here. Maybe for my last layout? Hmm.

Apparently it has been a week since I last wrote that terribly superficial entry, so I guess I shall fill you readers in on what is happening in The Exciting Life That Is Mine.

I saw Matrix: Revolutions. Pretty good, I liked it. Especially since Link and Zee turned out okay (I'm pathetic, I know. see below). A good end to a good trilogy, plus it has tragic heros. I love a good story with tragic heros. I'm wierd like that. Don't ask. Not that you would, though. *sigh*
I also saw that new commericial for the Zelda Bonus Disc, with that adorable but dorky guy dressed in a cross between Link and Santa Clause, swinging a sword and going "Whooo". Fricking hilarious. And, since I already ruined my chance at getting this at Christmas or better yet Hanukah (curiousity did infact kill the cat), I shall let you in on the most awesome thing ever. Although... if I do tell you this awesome thing, I proabably will end up getting it next year instead of my birthday. Which it is far enough as it is. Okay, I won't tell the awesome secret. I'll tell you this instead: it's black. ^_______^

I downloaded the mp3 to that wonderful song that plays during that Nintendo commericial for Super Mario 3. It's called Hatsukoi and it's by Kojima Mayumi. Beautiful song.
I also finally finished Mario Sunshine. Yay-ness.
Wow. My life is, like, SO exciting. Oh, I forgot to mention yesterday's Smallville. Maybe later.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *pauses* OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO *gasps* OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Lex can't turn evil yet! He's too damn cool to be evil now! *sobs* ...Or, maybe he's so cool that he just has to turn evil now. Because he can't possibly become any cuter? I don't know. But the previews for next week's Smallville is screaming that Lex turns to the dark side. Er, dark/crazy side. Whichever, I don't mind. It was bound to happen, and he'll still be cool either way. Because the coolest guys always have issues. Or at least a sweet ride. But it's better when they have both.

In other news (why do I always say that? Maybe I'm destined to work on tv as a newscaster or something. Or maybe a storm chaser... Yes, I'll move to middle America so I can follow tornadoes and... I dunno, play really loud music or something. Yeah, I watched Twister today. The best movie that ever was. ^_^ Wow this is getting really long. Better stop. Right......... now), J*I has been updated and I've started translating the Kaze Hikaru manga. And I've completely forgotten anything else that I was going to talk about. So, um, I guess I'll go now. Shine on!

I swear, I crumble like an old sand castle caught in a tidal wave. Or something. Yes, I made a new autumn layout and this is it. Not very autumny though. Again. I must not be feeling the autumn spirit this season. Whatever. But on the plus side, I don't get to complain about not-wanting-to-but-will-end-up-anyway for making layouts anymore. Another plus, I have a fuzzy winter layout already made, so when December rolls around, I'm all set. Yaha.

In other, almost more interesting news, yesterday was movie day. While the 'rents saw Intolerable Cruelty I saw Scary Movie 3. God, I wish someone had warned me beforehand. In all of my movie-viewing years, I don't think I've ever seen a movie this stupid. Sure, the Matrix and Ring mocks were funny, but everything else was so.... clorbaggish. Ugh. Plus, they didn't even show that hilarious Matrix scene that played in the commercials, being the only reason I wanted to see this movie! Such a waste of my non-hard-earned money. The only plus side of going was to see the long-version of that new Nintendo commercial for Super Mario 3, where all those Japanese kids are running across town to the game shop and end up wearing foam Mario character heads. The song they play in that ad rocks.

Oh, and I heard that Intolerable Cruelty wasn't too good either. Even with all those big names. I guess this just proves that commericals makes a movie good, not the other way. So sad. But it won't be this way for Spider-Man 2. Which comes to theaters nation-wide on July 2nd. BE THERE!!
