Yah...Harry Potter movie 2...check. Next time I'll see The Emperor's Club. (Spoilers abound in this entry...at least I think you might already know that.)

I saw the movie with two friends from the 9th grade. They got there so much earlier than me and even bought me a ticket! ^___^ Yay. Thanks. Anyway, I saw the movie with constant comments by C-chan (I'm not complaining though). I got excited everytime Snape came on the screen (due to the heavy influence of SiriusxRemus fics and fandom in general). He wasn't as mean in this one--in fact it was much more of a lighter side of him. Yay to the stoppingyourenemyfromattackingyou part. Lockhart was played well. Half of the cast wasn't at all. It's a pity, too. And I cannot believe how much D-kun resembled my cousin, Masha. Anyways, I read the book a few years ago and the movie was a refreshing new way to look at the series. I highly recommend it if you can't tell from this rather random entry. Oh, one more thing, if you hate spiders and squirm at the sight of them, as my friends had, prepare yourself.

^_^ Nyo. Movie 3 comes out in 2004, I hear. I_can't_wait. Even mentioning Azkaban left me excited.

C-chan might have come only for Oliver. *grin* Ron was hilarious. And...it was all in good fun and friendship, ne?

Sometimes I get this feeling that arises ever so often that I want to change my name and isolate myself from society as far as possible. Yes, if you think I refer to family and the school I attend it's an understandable factor. Family always comes first. The way my mother was raised in the Russian culture was all right, I would say. Yet she brags constantly about her own school achievements (at my graduation I got the most flowers, blah, blah, blah, I won the achievement award as best English speaking student in the country) and hits me because hell, she thinks that's a correct form of discipline. If I say something stupid she taps me quite painfully on the head. This comes to her own shock that I can't *do* my brother's homework *for* him. The homework is nothing hard; you just have to pretend you're a Polish immigrant from the 50's coming to America and you have to state why you want to go and what might keep you back. It's no big deal, really, but my brother is LAZY and he is not CAPABLE of doing this homework on his own because he gives up too easily and in turn, yells at me for not doing it FOR him.

Chu. So, now after Cassie-chan's call, I feel quite refreshed and able to fully function. (I think her family situation is better than mine). But I beg you, C-chan, NOT to write Draco/Snape because it just never would work. o.O;; Snape's more than twice Malfoy's age, ne? O.O;;;;; And I have a big problem with the whole age difference. Um...stick to Yu-Gi-Oh. ^___^ Please?

Yay....two more days 'til Wednesday and I'm off to the cinema.

Which Seishirou are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

You're the Real Seishirou in Tokyo Babylon. This is you without the genki veterinarian mask. In reality, you're really scary and extrememly possessive of your Subaru-kun. Following anime bishounen rules, you are as sexy as you are evil. You kill Hokuto and you scar Subaru for life. Go you. You're a possessive bastard and we love you.

^_^ Go me.

I warned my kaasan not to take my otouto with us to the Japanese dinner, however, she did not learn her lesson from the opera and took him anyway. The dinner:

It was an alarmingly huge building that took up more than half the block which was owned by Tom Cruise. Apparently, N-san likes to brag about that to his guests as he did so to every single one who entered. He specifically chose members from my mom's fifth committee and not a lot of people came. Apparently 12 people came. We really had a blast. Poor N-san, according to my mom, tried to speak to me so he told me how to hold chopsticks the right way. *You see, I held them lower than he showed me.* I completely blanked out and told him I'm very sorry for what I did. We had onigiri^_^!! My brother asked if they had any and then I had to say "onigiri!" The seaweed was yummy^___^!!! Thank you so much, Aki-chan! I was given her email address so I can stop by any time and she can tutor me, so wheee. I planned not to speak Japanese but I really, really did and made a good impression on people. Tip: bow lower!

The forecast for New Zealand looks chou sunny, ne?

Okay, so my otouto is not coming because he's a bitch. He cannot control his filthy emotions and takes it out on people. Yes, I will rant about him because he's a useless human being. His purpose in life is down to almost absolutely nothing. No, I'm not saying this because I have mental problems of any sort, I mean it as a human being who is logical enough to say something worth saying.

Anyways, I'm happy G-chan is starting a story based on the sins and virtues taking human form as I get to be the WORST sin possible and I took form as Akito Sohma. ^__^!! The story is quite interesting!! (His grandson's name is Yuki, lol, Mi-chan, arigatou!!)We really just have fun in school...and lately it's been the best year ever. I *heart* school. Nyah nyah!! Although sometimes I wish I were in New Zealand. (Maybe soon...soon!)

Tomorrow I get a chance to go to a Japanese dinner. *blush* I will be so embarrassed!!! -___-;; I will have a loss for words. My mom said: "you represent the family..." so, great^^!!!

My family has run into many problems facing people in the office and at school. This day really ticked me off. My mother works in the United Nations as a conference officer (no, not an officer as in guard) and she really shouldn't. She works on the level of bartenders, but she shouldn't. She has her Master's...and the rest in her office don't. So, she wants to get out of her job because hell, every one in her office is incompetent and insults her every day of the week. She works night, days, and weekends for those people who in the end, treat her like garbage and hell, she doesn't even deserve it. No matter how many times I get angry at my mom, I really am not and end up still caring for her even if she might hit me ('cause hitting comes naturally for many adults nowadays). Anyways, the same incompetent situation happened in my school. I went to my summer school (it was a regents review course for one month, not the whole summer because I woke up and decided to get my regents diploma...right) to see if I can take the chem regents but I was misinformed by the teacher. So, stupid me came the next day only to find out that I recieved a 78--a passing grade--on my regents. Good. I told the school's junior guidance counselor. She didn't think of this as official when I came there and the sec read from the paper...and...my summer course teacher told her by phone I got a 94. Well...

Yep, that's how my life's been going so far in school. Random confusion and laughs. Actually I get really excited about school because of this newly dawned friendship with some people and all in all, no one's complaining. We're just having fun. My other two family members on the other hand aren't all that great. So I decided to stand up for my mother. She doesn't deserve this crap at work. No one does.

Onto lighter things, we discussed the Buddhist view and our own view of suicide and reincarnation. The teacher did not argue with my logic at all (^__^) but had some brief ones with the others. I can see where they're going, the rest, but they didn't put what they meant in the right words. And on random notes here, Japan has a high suicide rate of preteens (12, 13, 14 year olds...) because of so much pressure and I hear that when a woman commits suicide, it's not honorable. Why is it considered honorable anyway?

Right...that was not light. But I am awaiting to see the Harry Potter movie with two of my kawaii freshman friends. My mother wants my brother to tag alone. *crud* I wonder...sannin-tomo, do you need permission slips? lol. But I do want to get the movie posters. ^_^ Speaking of HP, I showed around some really nice Japanese CG of Lupin, Sirius, James, and Lily. They are really beautiful, but I forgot the link to the site. X.X;; It reinforces the whole "biseinen" deal anyway. I have one complaint: I cannot print one fic that I particularly like...a lot. Stupid piece of man-made technology, work, damn you!!

Two more volumes of Furuba to go. ^_^ It's the sweetest, yes, sweetest series I have ever seen. And...I really like Akito. I'm not up to the ending as of yet (should I particularly pity him?), but I am proudly one of the few who like him. I recorded two scenes on my walkman that constantly play over and over only to hurt my poor head. Great. Well, I have been enjoying myself lately at school. Speaking of which, every one is aware the majority isn't going to receive honors. What happened to middle school, I ask, where you receive a merit for getting something over an 80 average. And while I'm on school, I need to get at least 1100 to get scholarship at SJU for international students. Crud. My mom's pushing for New Zealand. Hell, I think I'm more than willing to go. Another thing: why in the hell does Australia need to be a "terrorist target?" It's an entire misinterpretation of the religion. Leave the Aussies alone, and while you're at it, the rest of the world. It's getting to be really annoying and I *plan* to live in that area in the next coming year. *huffs*

I am currently reading many books at a time, but the one I read at home is A Traveler's Guide to Japan. ^_^;; On a side note, I don't think I plan to go to Osaka unless it's with a very trustworthy Japanese friend. The whole "yakuza" trademark glasses and suit reminded me of the Japanese guys who're out at night with IDs and sun glasses (and look pretty young, too) in Midtown. o.O....All in all, the book is wonderful. It took me two years to actually pick it up and read it.

I was thinking of writing a unique college essay the other day. My mom is okay with it, but then that was before she saw the draft. The essay delt with my dislike of the human race and society in general...but I think I'm going to change that topic for now, lol. Right...well, I had a good day, after all. Lunch's always fun. We were laughing quite a while. I think this time it's different...

My mother and otouto are always bickering. My head hurts. My brother has to rant all the time and he's so annoying. He doesn't read and he acts so...inhumane.

Any one else going to see The Emperor's Club? ^____^ I think I actually called Kevin Kline squicky *o*!!!!

Mou...two universities in one day...kyaaa...what a day. I took the subway with my kaasan. Yesterday we walked back and forth from 4th street...or prolly Houston all the way back to Midtown some 40+ blocks up. I don't feel tired at all. As I walked into NYU, I saw a pool, a pool, pool. Nyo, I seem to be in a "Tohru Honda" mood (from Furuba, not Tennin Gosui). I bought three volumes of Furuba and Chinatown's E-Center finally had Tokyo_Babylon. Watashi ga totemo ureshii desu yo, o ho ho ho!! Fruits Basket is a very loveable series. Tohru sometimes gets on my nerves, but I completely understand her. At least I think I do...chu. I may be one of the very few who actually likes Akito Sohma. That's right. *nods* I would love to *be* him, but that's not working out at all. I wouldn't mind it, but whipping Yuki-kun's simply out of the question. Keke...although I know a few people deserve it too *chuckles*....heh, I think I'm kidding. Maybe...

Anyways, I didn't get a chance to see TB. I don't know what'll be on the tape anyway.

-.-;;; spacing out a bit. I don't have homework at all this weekend and I still feel a bit dumb. I wrote up this letter I'll show to one of my teachers eventually on the ignorance of the student body. The students hate her for NO REASON AT ALL!!!!! Just because some one wants to discipline them for once in their lives is nothing to get upset about. I hate it. Every single day I don't think I'll be able to take...and 'sides, maybe I'll get as pissed off as Kyou and have a really big fit. Oh, then they'll be surprised. I feel like a ghost. I don't muse much with the senior class. I feel like such a good person with my two freshman pals (ne, futari-tomo, if you're reading this, ^_^ I praise you!). Feeling like a good person=feeling like I'm needed=the best feeling in the world. That is the separational difference between myself and my classmates, I guess. Ureshii desu. Kono toki ni ne? Watashi.

Tomorrow I have to go to two open houses for college. Ick. Well, Monday's a day off. Anyways, I purchased two happy books *che, happy* at Border's: Angelic Layer 1 and The Palace Thief. The Palace Thief is a brief collection of short stories. I *love* the book so far. On Angelic Layer though, there is always something that is kept secret with CLAMP that is only revealed until the end and you know there's something kept from you so you keep on reading to find out. I think I was briefly informed on Misaki's mother and on the connection with Chobits. Of course, I did search for Oujirou with no luck.

First quarter finally ended. I can't wait to get my report card this time. ^___^ actually...

I received a phone call from a very old friend. It was from a very long time ago, yep. It was from the 4th or 3rd grade. I wasn't sure on how to talk; we were both uneasy at first but then we got talking. I told her I was into the Japanese culture and she told me she listens to Luna Sea, Gackt...^_^ she's completely normal and she's heard of them and listens to the music and actually, well, told me she doesn't understand anything at all. LOL, much like nearly the rest of us.

*winks* I have a new "shounen ai" pupil in the works. Her first coupling is from Yu-Gi-Oh. ^__^;; I am thankful I have an influence. ^___^!!!

School day was all right. Half the school wasn't there. Sociology is awful. No one keeps their voice down...and my ears hurt but I did manage to finish the assignment. I don't think the teacher can handle them. -___-;; Not unless she starts handing out demerits.

I was a bit moody though. ^_^ I sorta didn't want to talk to those from the past. I have a habit of establishing no connection to the past and future and yet, maybe it will pay off eventually. I'm not a people person. Maybe it's because I am not surrounded by those who really care but those who entertain. And yet the past comes up and wants to open communication.

I'm having some complicated arguements with two of my friends on whether it's possible to complain to Cartoon Network and get something accomplished seeing as both sides are aware that they're doing something wrong for the sake of commercialism. The two are distraught over G Gundam's move to the 12 AM time slot. I am as well, but at least it's still on TV (just at a very uncomfy time for the youngins who go to sleep before the scheduled airing time).

Service class is fun. I think it is. The majority of the student body hates the woman, but I appreciate the work she does and think if she pushes us (and since the girls are used to being lazy and let "off the hook") we can get the needed work done. People in my school can be so narrow-minded. I hated it. We were talking about the qualities of an idealistic leader. One girl said one has to go through the ordeals of what the people he leads went through in order to understand. That is a yes and no statement. I think I said everything needed to be said on the subject (which is taking the "no" side of the arguement), but NO!!!! No one said they agreed with me when they, in fact, had been STATING THE EXACT SAME THINGS I SAID. They said they agree with what some other person said, but NOT ME. WHY?!!! Am I insignificant to these educationally challenged twits who base their lives off of complaining to the teachers over notes and whine when they get homework?! I came up to the teacher and asked if any one had listened. She said she had. ^_^. I think once some one actually said: I agree with you, Anastasia. When I asked the two people next to me, they nodded, saying I said the same thing they stated. Don't you just hate some people?

People are way too lazy to challenge even themselves. I am sick of hearing: "I don't want to take notes," and "I don't want any homework," and most importantly, "I hate school." You know what? You just have to live with it for the remainder of your life. It's sad most of these girls are uncultured (is that a word?), ignorant, and indeed lazy. I pity the teachers. I seriously do.
