Sexycool Kubota Makoto from Wild Adapter
by Minekura Kazuya, full of drugs and guns and bishies. I'm turning into a Kazuya-sensei
sl0re, you still wondering why? The foot sticking out oddly would prolly belong to his
yummy partner Minoru Tokitoh, whom you can see here. (Kubo wears specs)
Yes, this blog's name *is* stolen from REM's
song classic of the same title. It was selected because a) I heart REM much, and b) in
recent times I've been finding myself sleeping, or wanting to sleep, anyway, in the
daytime. >p Prrt me for health-trampling.
The current state of mind. Nobody mention the words 'orientation' and 'CCA' in the same sentence to me or I might snap and cry a Dead Sea at your feet. Yes. *Cry*. I haven't done that for two years.
Jawing aside, I really do feel miserable. No one to blame but myself though. Must rectify matters to salvage a little self-respect or die trying. Don't expect me on for the next month. Not that it doesn't kill me sacrificing fics and online pals, but I *got* to make things *work* in my RL before it collapses around me, NP especially. Studies. Mostly NP. I might quit the monitorial board this year with Jac.
Oneesama, love you. I needed reminding that others care. And bye till I settle everything I must.

I cried when I first heard this.
Went to Suntec yesterday with Dam-tachi for the countdown to '02...was mucho
anticlimax, wot. All we did was get squashed in a press of stinking CO2 and sweat and bulk
while randomly squalling off-key to The Offspring BGM. Did I mention confetti and that
multicoloured spaghettigunk they spray from cans? I got home close to 2 am because I took
the wrong train twice due to sleepiness and Oyaji was _ballistic_ (not that I blame him).
It probably wasn't worth making my parents worry so much for a few hours I didn't really
enjoy, but hey, experiences are all good. And I *did* get treated to Subway sandwiches by
Dam 'cos he told me the wrong place to meet, EG was there and so was Chun Jia, and we
spent half an hour running up and down Raffles Place in the name of night exercise
freaking out all the foreigners on the street. XD Called Gwynne to say hi and woke her entire family up. *hides*
Happy New Year. *sigh* I still have a shitpile of work to finish, and there's
orientation for the first-years on Sat. Lord. *buries face* Will go try to rectify the
work situation after lunch. I hate New Years.

It always depresses me when a year's about to end.
In other words: expect Shi-chan not to be on much next year. (hey, that sounded like a
*resolution*!) Thank countless term weekly assessments. Thank homework pile. Thank my
officers for stealing my partner to the field side and landing me with double workload to
cope with for the next seven months. Thank Jap twice weekly where I'll get home after
eight (and I *try* to sleep at *ten*, mind you). Thank class and monitorial duties and the
fact that the blasted lump of an educational institute I attend seems to think we can't
possibly be Happy unless we're running our butts off with less than seven hours of sleep
on a daily basis. *sucks in breath* (I LIKE sleep. Rawr.) Thank Cambridge for inventing
something called General Certificate Examinations (Ordinary Level) which all of Singapore
my age will have to suffer through to determine our college life. (if we even qualify.)
Yo, Enilyn-san? If you're reading this, thanks a lot for the mail. *salutes* You liked
my fic! Eee! I'm honestly flattered and embarrassed that you actually took my bitching
seriously. I have been a whiny h0 about SD fandom, haven't I? (but then I've made Aithine-san a convert through
whining! XD) Bad me. Am perfectly aware most of these people are new-born termites
fresh out of the queen's stomach who should be left to writhe in their own crevasses of
junk, but wasn't it Suze who
mentioned being Truely Evil(tm) and Full of Hate(tm)? *vbg* I'll mail you back, check your
box.
Reading blogsof intelligent, snappy folk is alwayseducational. Regarding Tolkien, though, all I have
to say is this: he got me into fantasy. At the tender age of my last year in grade school,
I read LotR. And, as they say, the child knew then that she was forsaking Francine Pascal
forever. Someday I'll be able to care about why he wasn't as good a writer as <insert
name here>, or why he possibly wasn't a good writer at all, hell, but right now that
isn't important to me. :p Rah. I *owe* getting into Eddings and Carroll and Meredith Ann
Pierce (*clings to Kristin-san*) and all the rest
to him, natch. Until then, I sit back and read the discussions while kirakiraing
peacefully in a corner. And I shall NOT get into AnSanc next year because it would kill me
and I *won't* be killed till the exams are over, thankyouverymuch.
I ph33r seeing myself being a willing lamb to the slaughter once I discover Kira-sempai
and Michael and the rest. It's like having a bloody knife suspended over your head by a
hair. But NOT until the Os are past. XO (and this blog takes freakingly long to load, I
know! *hides*)
Bait-san? Hoya? *VBG* Thanks a *lot* for the mail. I got you. In
future if you ever need anyone to wave pompoms for a second Animalsex! fic, you know my
add. Anything for more SR schtuff. XD (and concerning the poor response on the MLs so far:
those people wouldn't know cheesecake if it smacked them in their balls. That is *all*.)
