[insert large quantities of swearing here] My hand-eye coordination is a bit off to spend time typing them. {insert pitaful kneening noise here] Owww! It hurtsithurtsithurts!! My right eye had an unfortunate accident with my contact this morning. There must have been a hair or something I on it I missed when I was rinsing them. So this is me killing time while the redness and iritation go down and I can try again - without the pain this time. Unfortunately, I don't have the time. I will just leave now. Owww...
The burning is back, I should consult a doctor

Graarr, I need to learn not to watch Yan san before bed. He was at a public bath at the end of our required episode. At the bath, IN the bath, and again in a wife beater before he pulled his sweater back on. So if anyone had a burning need to know what undergarments Yan san favors - now you know.
Other news is that I have what looks like a piece of suture material in my back (at least that is what it looks like) so I will have to go to Olin to have it removed, thereby making my scar even more noticeble since they will have to cut the skin again to cut the knot of the suture that my skin has healed over. Yay. Hopefully will have dental appointment on the 28th so I will have all my medical stuff seen to before Japan.
My parents are also not coming to JCMU orientation on Saturday. They will be on a plane going to Dallas, my Dad for work and my Mom because it was a cheap fare and when my dad has some free time they can tourist together. I feel very letdown but of course did not tell my mom this when she called to say she had forgotten about the flight time and she could pay the 75 dollar fee and change it in order to come if I wanted her too. Blah. Of course I am going to say no. But I like having parental units at these time of functions. Le sigh. Will have wild fun anyway with my JPN posse and Christy anyway. Going out with Sarah (non Japanese version) so that will be fun too. We need to spend more time together. It has been at least two weeks since we last talked.
I am sure to have nightmares tonight.

Why am I staring at half a foot of snow? And foot tall drifts. Why did it take my mom and I almost 2 hours to get to E.L? This sucks. I also have vague supsition Madre thinks it is cute or something because there was a blizzard the year I was born and now we are having another big storm for my 21st year. 21. Yes. On reflection I have come to the conclusion that my life is. just. over. How sad. I should hurry and become an angsty poet and die before 30. Isn't 27 the magic number that rock stars die at? On the other hand, I still have much to do and would like to die very old with Grandchildren in a non painful death and posessing all my mental faculities. Well, this post is depressing. I should hurry out into the cold now.

Yeah, so words cannot express about how kickass cool watching the Cowboy Bebop movie on the big screen was. It was even BETTER than I remembered! The dub was excellent especially since all the extras had been cast with good voices verse a TV series that will work the budget by hiring less talented...talent. Finding the theater wasn't even that hard, although I think Bob was pissed about being stuck in the cramped backseat of the blazer. Oops. Well, the mini mobile would have been almost as cramped and wouldn't have had a high quality stereo.
I bought a summer outfit that will be highly wearable and easy to care for in Japan. Also I have new bras that will air dry and handwash really well. ^^Gotta love bra sales, it was like 60 dollars of free bra. Got a travel alarm clock, packable tote, bitch walking sandels and Hello Kitty shirt from my parents (and an electronic Japanese-English dictionary). Had D&W sushi for birthday dinner and some yummy seseame balls at Wei-Wei. I received money from my relatives that live out of state and from some family friends - used my B&N gift certificate from Megan to buy Sarah's Christmas present. Circular buying is good. Was going to buy at Walden's BUT the were SOLD OUT - ARGH! The lady was pissed too because the publisher wouldn't give her anymore and she had all these copies of Nora Roberts' new book that is selling well - but not as much as Cereulan Sins, of which she only receieved 28 copies.
Note to self: Must remember to send in driver's license renewal. Also see Amber before I have to leave - these are top priority, do not forget!! Also, make time to im Alex, miss the dyas when we shared a cake and celebrated our birthdays together.

Three hours of my life I will never get back. Luckily we all were a bit touched in the head and giggly and acting with complete disregard for the other students who maybe had programs more revelate to the lecture dealie. I blame both the rain and the fact that Borowicz san, Doot san, and I had just come out of lesson 5 lesson test and those always make us a bit crazy. Kiri chan didn't come to the early section like she was supposed to and Cindy is a 102 student who just missed a dialogue check (I got to see Mutsukawa sensei do his confused face, hee, cute). So I don't know what their excuse was but we basically talked the entire meeting (in low voices) but we were in the big lecture room in Anthony so I guess we were distrubing the people in front of us. At one point the guy in front of Borowics san turned around and said, "Could you guys just be quiet for like 5, 5 (insert emphatic widespread hand movement) minutes?" So Borowics san looks at his watch and starts timing us. ^^; I should feel bad since normally I would be really pissed at someone talking during a lecture but the JCMU people had basically NOTHING to do with the Africa, Australia, and South America people that were there for the general study aboard meeting. Mandy (JCMU program coordinator) only talked once, and we paid attention to her, of course. Next weekend is our program specfic meeting in the International Center - everyone else at the meeting had program specfic that night in Wells. I guess we are difficult because MSU is the JCMU American headquarters so everyone from all the schools have to meet at one time and we aren't just an MSU program.
I got invited to go to the bar with the above people. Borowics san was telling Doot san they should go to a bar that weekend and then he turned to Kiri chan and I and asked, "Are you ladies 21?" Kiri chan just turned 22 and I said, "I will be tomorrow." ^^ So of course everyone was all, "Oh, you have to go out than! It will be fun." But, alas, I have to go home so I can watch the Bebop movie. ^^ I was suprised about how much I did want to go. Mainly because these are my Japanese friends and I don't think they are big lushes and secondly, even though I don't like to drink much it would stil be nice for the experience. What will greatly piss me off is if the roads are too icy to drive to Portage in the morning and I came home for nothing when I could have gone out. The salt trucks better be out bright and early and the ice gone. I actually thought it would have been nice to drive to Christy's Friday but when I turned on the weatherbug this morning it told me of the ice advisory and the freezing rain started just after my mom and I got home from State. Plus, Christy hasn't been online so I wouldn't have just shown up at her doorstep anyway, well, maybe I would, it depends. ^^
Oh, and when you read this, you may want to plan on being online tomorrow, if the roads are bad, I want you to know if I can't come. XP. I would leave the house around 10AM so you may want to check sometime after that. Or maybe just call me if it is getting near the time...I'll, uh, actually just email you that. ^^ I don't think people read this but the last thing I need is a bunch of weird phone calls. And why aren't we going to Ann Arbor? Is Royal Oak closer? Kiri san is seeing it tonight and if we went to Ann Arbor we could take my cousin out to lunch, his birthday is the day after mine, we're practically twins. ^^ Of course, I don't even know what dorm he lives in. ^^;
And I think I am done with my mandatory long pointless post. ^^

Insider trading or time travel? Oooo!Aaaa! I am so amused right now, after K san sent me this link I just laughed for a minute. I would think a responsible time traveler would not want to mess around with a country's economy, wouldn't you?

Why do people think it is a good idea to come into a nice quiet lab and then yak on their cel phones?! Go out into the nice deserted hallway, someplace I and my fuzzyness are not. Ever get so tired that the most mundane things become hypnotic? Yeah, I am there right now. I really shouldn't pull all nighters, I am getting too old or something, and I probably feel even worse because I had given up caffeine because it is dehydrating and rots your bones - but in order to stay up 'til all hours I drank two cans of pop and had a cup of black coffee in the morning. My body hates me now. Killing time until Tae Kwon Do - please God, if you have a spare moment to listen - don't let us be sparing today. Conditioning would even be better than sparing, I just feel so clumsy, although tonight is pilates in my rotation, and I do have to do that. Yaaaaah. Tonight is also Get Backers night though, so yay. Providing I have enough energy after I finish homework.
Oh no. There is no snow.

*ahem* There is no snow!! So why am I looking at an inch of snow sticking to the non paved surfaces?! Nooooooo, no snow. Snow is not allowed. Although this does explain why I thought it smelled like autumn outside instead of just a crisp Michigan spring day. Heh, I missed saying good night to Chisty before she logged off because I was just starring out my window in horror. This better melt, that is all I have to say.
On a brighter note I have Get Backers 20, *Mwah* gotta love my T3 connection, only thing MSU is good for sometimes.

I should never underestimate my ability to rip script from Christy's blog. I now have my past entries linked, the hardest part being I had forgotten what I had called the .html ...Oops! But it is there, and I couldn't resist a cheesy Wolf's Rain title. So sorry for that. ^^
Oh, and we just lost our game, no final four this year. And I am snug and safe on campus and not on the other side of the river where the cops are (reportedly) not letting people crossing the bridge back to campus. Mwahahahahah, suckas. Apparently a girl broke her neck on Friday during the happy!celebrations of us winning against Maryland and having a chance to go to final four. Wow, people are dumb. Remembers kids! Don't drink and run around like loons. And unless you playing in the freakin' game, don't feel too cool/angry about winning/losing.
Speaking of drinking my 21st is Saturday of next week, my mom had blocked out how old I was going to be, it was amusing. ^^ So I got the "A lot of kids die on their 21st birthday, so be responsible" speech. Great mom, but if all goes well I will be resting my ass in front of Cowboy Bebop on the Big Screen, now that says happy birthday. ^^;
Anita Blake is out on either the 1st or the 4th, I have seen different release dates. I have to go pick up two copies, and then I can give Sarah her Christmas present! ^^ Only a little late - I hope it gets warm again or I may after to walk in the cold, ick. Mmm, Asher, Jean Claude, Micah - now this should be a good book. I have to decide whether or not I should save it for the plane ride though. : /

I forgot to mention I bought an issue of "OUT" on Thursday night. Megan asked me for coffee so we wandered out to Grand River and ended up going to the Starbucks in Barnes and Noble and then wandering about BN for an hour or so. We ended up each buying a magazine; me, "OUT" because Ewan McGregor on the cover called to me and then I realized that gay magazines have tons of hot guys in their ads. ^^;. Two are going to be a bitch to find a way to cut out without hurting anything. Plus the article about Ewan and his new movie is soo fanboyish. Megan scoffed it, but I was like, "Dude, if I was writing this article I would sound like that too."
"Ewan McGregor was in a towel."
"That's it. Just a towel."
"As I walk onto Stage 4 at the Hollywood Center Stages, where this spring's romantic comedy Down With Love is filming, I hit the elaborate set of the Know magazine offices. McGregor, as womanizing journalist Catcher Block, is filming a scene with David Hyde Pierce, who plays his best friend and neurotic boss. Did I mention that he was in a towel?"
XD That was taken from Jeffrey Epstein's article "Love Machine" in "OUT" April 2003 issue. Really, fun article.
"...But before he returns to the Jedi knights, he's playing the younger version of Albert Finney's character in the fantastic drama Big Fish, also produced by Jinks and Cohen. Some audience members might be disappointed to know he doesn't wear a towel in this film."
Actually the thing I noticed besides more hot guys in ads; the ads towards their female audience are the normal stuff you see in woman's magazines, so nothing new for me there. Is the ads for HIV supression pills. You get used to the herpes and yeast infection ones but I have never owned a magazine urging me to talk to my doctor about "combivir" or "sust1va", things I have never heard of. It was a bit weird, though when you think about it young women are the fastes growing population of new hIV cases.

Today in Tae Kwon Do we learned some pressure points and the easiest places to end a fight and end it NOW. Like if someone was seriously attacking you and you didn't just need to drop them in a match but disable them from hurting possibly maiming/killing you. I also learned about crushing testicles, I always knew I could grab them but the instinct to knee is always first. Ron was like, "Every man will instinctively guard his groin." as he mocked kneed one of our TAs who automatically shifted his thigh. ^^ But if I take my hand and just grab! (which he didn't actually do to our poor TA ^^;) He is mine, the fight is over because I can use as much pressure as I need to make it over. Although I was amused that he never once said, "testicle".
Sarah was having a bad day and guess what?! I made her cry! Yay me! XD She was just having one of those days where the last thing you need is for someone to strike your neck trying to make your nerves all woozy. She was really embarassed because every kept asking if she was alright. And she freaked the hell outta me because at first it looked like she couldn't breath and I thought I had somehow managed to cut off her nerves to her lungs or something. XP
We have a diary entry for tonight's homework, I just made up stuff because it was a kanji review and they wanted us to use lesson 5 kanji. But man, I wish one of the new kanji was 'testicle' or 'crush' because then I could make really cool sentences. : D
And last Yan san was the best yet. He just got on a train and went to okada san's hometown and was all loney and sad and he looked like a big surly bear. And the okami san of the Bed and Breakfast he was staying at thought he has killed himself! It was great! She comes in to give him morning tea but he isn't in the room and she stares out his balcony tte kyuni wa "masaka!" to itte hayaku umi ni ikimasu. See, Okada san's town is someplace in the north and it was very cold and had lots of snow and the sea is very violent and has lots of whitecaps. Motohashi sensei says that lots of people try and throw themselves into the big waves to commit sucide. XD And then she pulled out a flashcard with "jisatsu" on it - I love Motohashi sensei classes, so much fun. Although I had already looked up suicide in order to use it for my Yan san homework.
But Doot san is right, as horribly scary and entertaining as watching Yan san is, season 2 has just lost the Yan san roots. In season 1 he was lovably bumbling, now he is just scary grossly fat guy who has a soap opera for a love life.
Huh?

Oh, and apparently Spirited Away did win the Oscar for animated film. Did they not show this or did I miss it during ranting or studying (I did mute sometimes), ah well. Congratulations to Mr. Miyazaki, Studio Ghibli, and Disney (I guess). Also to Lilo and Stich, because everyone knows they are first runner up, even if the Oscars don't work like that.
ARGH!
Sunday, March 23, 2003
11:01 p.m.
It is the FUCKING OSCARS, I don't care about your freaking political viewpoints, when the fucking music starts get off the stage! At least most people seem to be restraining themselves to...whatever the heck the Academy Awards are about, entertainment I guess. And I think most people know that Hollywood is made up of people of the strong political left, so we can actually guess your viewpoint anyway.
I think everything just pisses me off, maybe because I don't have a "side" to argue for. I am neither anti-war nor pro-war. So basically everyone pisses me off. I find myself wanting to argue with people of both viewpoints, at least the stupider ones...and my Dad, who is not stupid and one of the smartest (and most distressingly logical) people I know. Does America see inself as a leader of the world and hence at sometimes above the rest of the international community? Yes. Do we try and police the rest of the world? Yes. Is that right? Probably not. But we do help a lot of people with our money and manpower. Actually one of America's faults, in my opinion, is that we don't do anything until a psycho leader emasses enough wealth and power that they could challenge us. Does Iraq have a despot for a leader (who has the craziest eldest son in the history of wealthy crazy eldest sons)? Yes. Hey, maybe we should have done something years ago when he commited mass genocide against his people! Instead we wait until terrorist acts against us push us into seeming random acts of destoring governments that profess a liking for terrorist acts.
And North Korea - I actually think we will leave them alone for a while, which makes me happy for purely selfish reasons of wanting to go to Japan without fear of the study aboard office or US government pulling me home. Although, if anyone every asks you Russia is closer to Japan than Korea thanks to a silver of a penisula near Hokkaido. A lot of this is ISS talking but I think N. Korea's reasons for starting up their nuclear power plants has less to do with the byproduct of nuclear material and more to do with a) N. Korea is probably in desperate need of the power and b)The reason they shut down the plants in the first place was that the United States gave them money so they would do so, but this time we refused so we are both being pissy at the moment. N. Korea would also need a outside backer for war because honestly - they. have. no. money. And widespread famine. And they would like to rejoin with S. Korea but S. Korea does have money (lots of it) and doesn't want to have to go bankrupt to carry N. Korea through modernization. And frankly the N. Korea government is a little scary to them I am sure.
I think this was suppose to be about Iraq and the war take II over there. But, I don't really know anything about the Middle East, my political class was about Asia. ^^; So I got sidetracked. Iraq is not going to end well, I don't think. Even if it is sucessful the country is in poor shape, it is said that not even their oil could pay for the reconstruction. The leader lived lavishly while his people were denied a lot, and tension between ethnic groups are always a bitch for making a country run smoothly. Oh, and we bombed the Ministry of Planning - you know, the people that try and come up with ways to make the country work better? Oops >.<. I dunno, maybe they plan military stuff too.
On France, because I have to say it someplace. Really America, when have we ever cared about France? Britain has always been our partner, not them. Our government rarely agrees with their Socialist government, so who cares! And if I see one more fricking thing about the "Freedom" fry or "Freedom" toast sticks (Yeah, I'm talking to you Phillips cafe), I will probably explode. Heh, although France is probably insanely happy about it. They never liked that we called an American deep fried invention "French" (as in a french cut potato).
And I was totally with France until the president announced that France would not join the countries volunteering aid and help to Iraq after the war because that would condone the war after the fact. Uhh, no. That is helping people of a war torn country.
Mrrr, I have to write my haiku sakubun, 600 characters, which is like 2 pages. 2 pages on a crap haiku I would never turn in if it was in English. And the other wonderful news is that I seem to have lost my JPN binder last Wednesday before the kaiwa shiken, I am guessing I left it in the study alcove. So I had to write another haiku, I don't have the outline paper we were supposed to use, and no sakubun paper, not to mention no coursepack (I am so not buying another, Argh!). Crapcrapcrap. I hope it is in the lost and found on Monday. My new haiku is about how I lost my old haiku - how sad. ^^
I think I am ranted out, war is bad, America has stupid attack names, Hussein is bad, hope he doesn't have a nuclear weapon, France not so bad, actors should shut the hell up at award ceremonies. There, I am done.

Oh man, where to start? My mom informed me that the family reunion type dealie in Boise, Idaho has been pushed back to August 3rd through the 10th, and when do I get out of JCMU? That's right. The 5th. >.< Sonofa...
Yeah so here are the two sides. Christy and I wanted to stay a week and bum around Japan until the 12th, do the hostel thing and go places we really wanted to see. If Christy has already changed her ticket then the second issue doesn't exist, I'll be staying in Japan. However, if she hasn't I have to decide if I want to leave Japan on moveout day and then fly to Boise so I can see the Boise people (whom I have not seen since I was 8), stay for my Grandma 80th birthday (and my mom's 52th) on the 7th of August and then drive back to Michigan in the van with my mom, Joe, and John (And Christy if she wants to come hang at the lake with us ^^)- my Dad gets to fly back since he needs to get back to work. Now this could be good except for two things a) I don't get to stay in Japan and b) flying to Boise adds another 700 dollars to my ticket price. Which is just silly for a US flight. Argh! Why does all the good stuff have to happen at the same time?

I bet that was coming from a Professor Obst lecture. He always plays music before class. Anyway, here I am, sitting in one of the labs in Wells. Zakem san and I just got finished with our oral exam - she had signed us up with Ryu sensei - I don't think I am crazy when I say that I would have signed up to go with Sakakibara sensei, I think she would have been a little easier, I don't know, I guess I am just more comfortable with Sakakibara sensei. However, I am not a member of that weird minority that hates Ryu sensei (I have yet to figure out how you can hate her) - so it wasn't too bad. I am more satisfied with intonation than I normally am, I think my accent has improved just a bit this year. But overall I am dissatisfied with my performance, I fell back on using vocab and grammer that is familar to me and only managed to work in about 4 new grammer structures. Sarah said she thought I had done well because I always knew what the question was and would just start talking while she would sit and eto/ano for a bit. I totally disagree because yeah, I talked, a lot, but my answers weren't inspired at all, I was just talking. As anyone who knows me knows - just because I talk doesn't mean I am actually saying anything important. ^^; So when Sarah would answer she would have these thought out answers full of new grammer. I did mangage to work in a niban mei ni answer about MSU, a naninani ba nani hodo answer, I used a lot of conjunctions, and I think I used nikui, so I did use some stuff. Blah, kaiwa shiken always make me feel like crap.
And there is a lovely moment on the tape in the very beginning when I drew a question for Sarah and asked her what clubs she wanted to join when she went to Japan for study aboard and she talked about liking to draw so she wanted to join the manga club so that lead to a little discussion of anime and Ryu sensei asks, "De, Chovanec san wa otaku desuka." "..." Agh! Shitsurei na shitsumon Ryu sensei soreni chotto hazukashii! So I start off with a laugh and an "e-! otaku ja nai! Sorewa chotto hazukashi shi mainichi anime o minai, ishu mitsu anime o miru to omoimasu." Thanks Ryu sensei, that was embarrassing. I probably should have just agreed, but it isn't really a compliement and disagreeing gave me more stuff to say. ^^; Argh, kaiwa shiken. Oh well, it is over and only think left to do is have my rough draft of my hiaku sakubun done for Monday. Oh, shimatta! I forgot to tell Sakakibara sensei that I have a doctor's appointment in GR so I need to go to the early Japanese on Friday and leave early. Mrr, I guess I will just email her.
In other MSU news, right now I am voting in student elections. I have over 3 hours until stats so I figured I would vote now instead of tonight, so I can check that off my list of things to do today. Yay

And now my stitches are pulling. Lovely. Why did this day start out so well if it was going to end making me feel sad, inadequent, and in pain? I did genk a dial from the sinks to anti-bacterify my stitches as much as possible. I think the redness has gone down a bit but every slightly big movement of my arms makes them pull. Maybe I tore one of them today. I dunno, it sucks. I also have to sleep withot a bandaid so we will see if that makes them rub too much.
*Sigh* At least I had a nice chat with Runes, don't talk to him too often. We discussed deep things like anime girls' breasts and techno music and which anime we should watch. The important stuff. ^^
Going to bed now, as soon as BMB updates, because it should in 5 minutes so might as well wait for it. ^^;

Dammit all, I am just going to go brush my teeth now. Or maybe shower, whatever, get ready for bed in general. Whatever. At least today was still good.
Melting snow is so very nice
Saturday, March 15, 2003
11:37 p.m.
Today was a good day; the sun was shinning, the snow was melting, the birds were singing, it was good. I ended up going for a walk/run around 4:20 and basically walked almost all around campus with the only stop being a quick look at Chico's sale. I got a scope of Mint cookies and cream from the Dairy Store. The Dairy Store makes the best ice cream IMHO and it is so cheap! The students make it and the profits from the store go back to the college. They make cheese too. But enough of that, because no one really cares.
I walked for a little over an hour and decided to follow through with my plan to go see Sarah in McDonald. I hadn't seen her in forver so it was really great. We visited and I played a bit of Animal Crossings, I tried to play as Giles in Sarah's Buffyverse of Sunnydale but Giles was just not meant to be an AC character, if stupid Jonathon's name had fit it would have been perfect. ^^; Sarah plays with Buffy and her friend Becky has Cordelia. I suppose she has a point that Angel and Spike should be the other two, hee. Plus Animal Crossing is one GIANT MAFIA SYNDICATE! Everyone calls in favors and does stuff for you that indentures you to them. What. The. Fuck. So very wrong for children to play games like that. ^^ We ate dinner together and that was also good, got to talk and junk. They had baked sweet potatos and that was new and interesting cafe food. I returned home around 10. Which I ran half way because it was much cooler than when I had left in a tank top and a light weighed knit top (really lets those night breezes in >.<).
And that reminded me, my stitches itch and are red, I think they might be infected. I was able to put some neosporin on them but couldn't manage the coodination to put a bandaid back on. I get them out on Friday, I just need to keep everything fine until then. *hopes*

Watched Wolf's Rain 7 after I got back from class. Whoa, Darcia is muy guapo. He wears an open necked blue silk shirt and fitted black pants coupled (heh) with his partician features and sexy voice, very nice. And he doesn't want to be mean to Cheza at all, this makes me like him more and he appears to be one of those tortured guys driven by love, chicks are suckers for the tortured bad guy (I'm not sure Darcia is supposed to be the "bad guy" anymore). His woman looks a bit like Cher (doctor in the show not the singer XD), and also has lips. Anime women with lips are freaky to look at on first sight, but now I think they look cool and more attractive than your average anime woman. Lips being a good thing and all that. And obviously inspires great love if Darcia and Hubb are any indication. *pets Hubb* I would pet Darica but I am not sure how he would react to that. Hee ^^;.
Toboe also went through puberty in episode 7, it was cuuuute. Cheza's scent like puts the boys in heat or something. ^^; "My chest feels warm, is this what you were talking about (to Kiba)?". You see Toboe, when a Wolf-boy meets a flower girl something very special happens...teehee. SO the pack has their woman, she may not be a wolf but she can still be lupa and plus the love that Cheza has for her wolves from what I see, would not disallow the boys to engage in some hot and sweaty extra activities. Mmmhmm. Taking a minute to misquote Tybalt. "Everyone likes girls, Skids"
"Not hot wolf-boys"
"Sure they do, she just has to be pretty like a boy." *cough* Yeah, Cheza is very slender and almost androgynous of built, more bishonen-ish than bishoujo-ish. Of course she was born of a flower so isn't human (I don't think). Oh, and she has lips. XD Ooh, just had a Darcia flashback, that was good. I like his blue hair, it looked black when he was masked and mysterious.
We won't talk about my sucktacular Tae Kwon Do midterm. How I managed to do worse in front of my prof than I did when we first attempted this sequence I have no idea. Round kick is my best kick and I totally messed up on even that. Very pissed off in the not good silent way. I can't even remember the last time something made me so angry at myself I wasn't spouting off my mouth as normal and just brooding (Ha, I was brooding). So that is that. Next week features both kaiwa shiken of doom and 600 ji essay on my haiku which I need to revise in the worse way. I decided to do tanka because I am much to wordy.
Wow, I have lots of time, I think I will go watch lots of anime to catch up with Christy on GB 18. Ah yes, CardCaptor Sakura came yesterday so we have to watch that too. The last CCS before Japan and I am not preordering the volumes that will come out over the summer. Summer will have lots of backlog for me; like RahXephon and Mirage of Blaze (which shouldn't have ugly covers like Yami no Matsuei because Media Blasters doesn't seem to embrace ugly photoshop effects like Central Park Media does) meaning I will not be able to resist buying it like I have YnM because YnM has the ugliest covers and one of the ugliest logos known to man and makes me cringe so I don't want to spend money. Good marketing scheme there CPM. ^^;
I Iiiitch!!!

My stitches are driving me nuts! In case you didn't know I have stitches in my back because my doctor removed one of my moles. I have lots and lots which puts me at high risk for skin cancer. I saw this particular mole after the fact and it was indeed lopsided and not clean round borders like moles should have. So that is at the lab now, probably isn't cancerous even if it would be later so I am not too worried. I don't know what they do for benign cancer, I don't want anything to fuck with Japan.
Itch, itch, itch, itch, itch, and I can't do anything about it! I just took a antihistamine as directed so hopefully that will work. At least I think it was an antihistamine, for some weird reason I don't have any Benadyrll (sp?) in my first-aid kit, must have used it all up during allergy season. So I think the Sudafed I have also has an antihistamine but of course I am stupid and don't have the package so I am guessing. But if all else fails this is a nighttime version so it should knock me out so I won't care if I itch. ^^;
In other happenings I really am having panic issues with my upcoming Tae Kwon Do midterm, I don't want to do badly. It is so hard because we really can't practice out of class although Sarah (Zakem san) and I have tried before. ^^; And she is prone to worry about every detail so that means I have to be the calm partner! Aaaaahhh! Anyway, we will go to club tomorrow for some extra practice time and make fools of ourselves in front of the higher belts and in some cases competiting students. Yay. I will probably have to miss Nihon Kurabu too, I think this makes 4 weeks now I have not been able to go. Grrrr.
Itch. >.<

And had to interupt a reading of Hamlet. ^^; Anyway, we're set for Japan. Rock on, I am so excited. ^^
I also have stitches in my back slightly under my bra strap area and dread pulling them out in Tae Kwon Do. Stupid back muscles, they control everything. And I better not have cancer that is all I have to say - you hear that skin!? No cancer, going to Japan instead. >.<
Sex on a stick baby!
Sunday, March 9, 2003

("And cheese," says Christy. (Which is some Cedar Point joke...Brian would be good with cheese (or anything)). Sex on a stick was my exclamation for the night after too many close encounters with the sexy cast of Queer As Folk. Apparently I am saying sexy too much, but at least I am not saying they were delicious ("although they were," says Christy).
"There was much delciousness tonight - well, except for the plums." says Christy. Good thing I was on the phone through most of her blogging or her entry would be full of Kathleen quotes as well. I like third person, what can I say? (sayeth Kathleen)
Yeah so the ride down was uneventful. We picked up Renee but we all had to run into her apartment because she has kitties, real baby kitties, not imitation ones at all. They were very cute (I have an editor - which is actually a very good thing for me) and they squeaked (in a good way - not in an "ouch, I'm dying" way.) So then we were on our merry way again and eventually this lead to us eating practically all you can eat free! sushi. Renee's dad is getting a huge thank you note, that is all I can say.
And Geez! Can I keep a thought in my head for more than a minute ("no" sayeth Christy). I mean, I know that when I blog it tends to make no sense what so ever and I can't read it later for the shame of it all. But this is crazy (at least I suppressed my urge to say "kitties" for no reason... sorta). It would help! if I wasn't searching for talking heads at the same time. But Christy wants me to hear some song, so I will indulge her so she won't sing. ^^
Well, let us move onto the sex again, since that is all I am in the mood to talk about apparently. Queer As Folk cast members (are hot)...random spider watching break - I bet this entry makes noooo sense to anyone that is not sitting here for the work in progress. The casts members that were there were Brian, Ted, Emmett, and Melanie for further descriptions of their hottness please refer to Christy's weblog. AND I HAVE SEEN THEM ALL NEKKID - this was a Christy thought as we were in the children's section behaving badly XD. Because my brain is rapidly leaking from my ears, I think I need to stop writing. Although it was highly disappointing that we didn't get any autographs (And I think Bob was HIGHLY pissed, but nothing we could do) we did get to stare at the hot cast members and I bought Mars vol. 9, Renee bought the new Dixie Chicks CD, and we got what will hopefully be lots of really nice pictures of cast and crew (not that we were aiming for the crew) and a group picture of Bob, Crysta, Christy, James, and me. But they were on Christy's old camera so we can only hope. ^^; Ride home was a little icy, non delicious pickled plums, delicious Japanese snacks (Blocky is GOOD (delicious)), and Crysta's homosexual themed CD, which was also good. Mmm, boys.

That I have been up since 9. I will be at your house before 12. I will. Stop looking at me like that! You always doubt me! *cries*
In other news I can eat again, and I have learned something: One day fasts during school when I am stressed feel good; two day juice fasts during my precious spring break, don't. Dammit, spring break is almost over and I still have to write a haiku/tanka/senryuu before Monday and then be prepared to write a 600 character essay about it, due in two more weeks. Someone want to tell me when I got out of Japanese 202 and into a lit class? >.<
Gah! That doesn't even cover the evil bitch monster kaiwa shiken (oral exam) that is coming up.
P>Going now, stopping at Meijer for visa photos. Erk, I hope the photo center is open this early on a Saturday.
AAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Today's BMB! Kyaaaa! The suspense is amazing! I semi-thought Skids might have a little crush on Harley but not enough to vocalize it or want to act on it. And Tybalt! Please oh please do a spit take. Someone as suave as you just needs to do something that comical every once and a while. Or maybe he will choke and force Skids to perform "mouth to mouth". It is all coming to a head, finally. Tybalt likes Harley, Harley likes Mik, Mik likes Harley, Skids likes Harley, Cya likes Skids (and Ronnie of course), Tybalt also likes Skids although Skids preplexes him. 'Sheequa is with Apollo, Apollo lives with Tybalt. Oh, the excitement. I can't hardly wait. Hope Christy has already read the comic today, there will be much squealing and discussion on the way back to my house I am sure.

My daily visit to CNN.com has found me quite sad. Fred Rogers aka Mister Rogers of Mister Roger's Neighbourhood passed away today at age 74. He had been diagnosed with stomach cancer in January. Mister Rogers was, in my opinion, one of the greatest Americans in our history. His show has fun and entertaining without all this "shove manners at you" that modern children's shows have. If Steve hadn't left Blue's Clues I think he would have had the potential to be like that. You did what Mister Rogers said because Mister Rogers believed in those things, he wasn't just parroting a script he didn't care about. Mister Rogers told us about life and death, responsibilty for pets and younger people, marriage and divorce, sharing and being polite. Mister Rogers really was an icon in America whether or not people thought he was famous or not, whether they thought his show was good or not, people know who Mister Rogers was and what he stands for. And people will remember that more than his Presidental Medal of Freedom or other honors. I hope PBS continues to run his show for years and years. That is some quality television.
Heh, why am I not suprised?

Christy also wrote about today's BMB. We know what we like. You saw the hair right? Tell me that didn't make you think of our regency Tybalt and Skids. XD
Squee! <3TybaltandSkids<3

Okay, I didn't have enought time this morning to take a squeeing fangirl break and write a inane bubbly entry on Today's Boy Meets Boy, so I will do so now. *ahem* ^^; And wow. That just sums it up, I should have never underestimated Sandra and how well she knows her characters. She knows the power of Skids with no hat (plus a from the chest rumbling seduction voice). Tybalt's pimpness is no match for it.
Eh! Sorry, am I still here? I started staring at the comic again. All three panels are just, *sigh*. Teaching!Tybalt, next Suave!Skids and tumbly hair!Tybalt (mmm, tumbled Tybalt), and finally Melty!Tybalt and revertback!Skids (How ADORABLE) I could babble on for probably a much longer unhealthy time period but I will leave you know gentel viewer (Andrew mode off - how did that get turned on?) ^^;
MmmHmm

Yeah, okay. So I spontanously archived my blog because glancing at the tiny little scroll bar made me realize I should have done it a long time ago. ^^ Add adding a link to my archives on your to do list, hmm? ^^. Unless you know longer desire my presence? Seeing how I haven't talked to you in 5 days! wow that has to be some kind of record for us! I mean a record since Summer '02 when we really became joined at the hip and not when we first met. ^^;
Remembered there was new Buffy tonight. Andrew is such a fanboy it is great fun, although he makes me feel more of dork but also less of one at the same time. All in all I was suprised at how good tonight's Buffy was. So yay.
Oh yeah! And hey you! Yes, person that keeps finding my blog by looking for my Excel Saga shirt "Throw your Life Away for Justice" and "Excel Saga Throw Your Life Away orange shirt" if you are in fact only one person (and really what are the odds you aren't?) is there anything I can help you with regarding that shirt? ^^; My blog shows up pretty far down but this desperate searching is sad so if you do turn up here sorry that I don't have any hideously orange shirts to sell you, I gave my other one as a birthday gift. ^^ Heh, actually I have no useful info for you. But if you feel like sharing with me what exactly you were looking for regarding the Tshirt email me at sailorares AT hotmail.com. Removing the spaces and yadda yadda of course. Just curious. Oh and for people looking for Ginny, pirating cowboy bebop downloads, my loyal sailor and the seven ballz download searchers, "trigun pirate" person, and the "pirate wheat" person, sorry I can't help you. Heh.
