Lonely rivers flow surely to the sea...

Lalala. I'm having another not so genki day. I worked on my essay test (which turned out horribly, by the way, since I missed some class :P) all morning, then was attacked by a bout of killer cramps >_< Sucky. So i went to class, turned my test in, and left again. Whee. Now I blog this little bit before I go to the happy fun counselor. Yay. I'm a lil scared, but oh well. Hopefully they can help me figure out solutions, so that I don't end up on top of Watterson with a bazooka, or something like that. It's been the most difficult semester of my life, and I hope that it doesn't affect my GPA too terribly much.

Blah. I think I will go take a nap. Ja!

Music: FLCL OST. Do you have this, Tanzy? I'll send it to you if you don't ^_^

DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN!

Can't write for long....just know that the election has NOT been called at the time of this writing; they are doing a re-count in Florida, and there is still hope for Gore. So, don't give up yet, Puuchan and Kya-chan =D
Ok, back to my essay test.

On the CD player: Les Miserablés, complete symphonic recording.

See you space cowboy...

It felt like Christmas at work, as we got in a huge shipment of stuff from the office supply store. We got four new super-sweet gel wrist rest mousepads. These things are top-of-the-line, woo. When I asked whose computers were to be the lucky recipients, my boss said "my computer, the front desk computer, and the computers that you and Ryan [a coworker] always use." XD XD It's the little things that make people happy, you know?

In other news, it's still REALLY FREAKING COLD in here. I have on a turtleneck and a giant fuzzy sweatshirt (Piffle Princes! ^_-) and now the only parts of me that are cold are my ears and hands.

And now, I will cut this short because my boss ordered Chinese (her treat, ain't she nice ^________^), and I am starving!

Music: Ayumi Hamasaki. Yay for bland jpop!

Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me...

Well, after an unfun morning that consisted of Juri-chan nearly flipping out at work (I left early instead), I am taking a break from some of my classes. Bad me. Oh well :P I'm mellowing out, and listening to the Batman Forever soundtrack. I like this CD ^_^ I haven't listened to it in a long time...

Now, what to do with myself. Perhaps I should scan in that CD book for my Director project. Hmm...it's becoming a giant pain to do anything in Photoshop on my paltry 32mb of RAM. I think this is because I installed Photoshop 6 ^^;; I don't like it that much. Maybe it just takes some getting used to, but it still annoys me. I need to buy more RAM, but I don't know if I will be able to afford it. Gomen ne, minna-san, but I am too broke to go up to Mitsuwa this weekend. *Sigh* I will definitely trek out there during Christmas break, though.

I know! I will write up my Christmas list. I am going to code the list in HTML and post it ^^; I have a little wish list going on in my head, but it's all stuff that's specialized and/or hard to find. Soo... I am going to go 'shopping' on AnimeNation, Amazon, and Outpost.com >D I hate making up Christmas lists because they make me feel greedy. I love getting gifts for people, though! And this year I actually have the money to do so. Whee! I'll be shopping for other people online, too. I have some ideas already.... *evil laugh*

Ok, I am off to make two Christmas lists...one for me and one for other people. Woo! XD

I wish that I could turn back time, 'cause now the guilt is all mine...

I have so much to write about and get off my mind, but I am not going to write it here. Sorry ^^; You really don't want to hear my whining, trust me! Anyhoo. It's raining. Appropriate, since Bonnie Pink - It's Gonna Rain is on the player. I love this song ^_^ Anyhoo, I'm really annoyed right now, because my 'pet' box was rebuilt on Friday. That's not a problem; I didn't have anything on the local server...but one of my coworkers left the box's default bootup as Linux (it's a dual-boot machine) and then called in sick today. Turns out he didn't finish rebuilding the box...so now I can't use it. I wish it were merely a case of me feeling dumb for not knowing anything about Linux, but I can't log in at all. Grr! It's a good thing that I forgot to bring in the book I was going to scan (my pet box is hooked up to a nicer scanner than mine.)

Kya-chan, isn't The Big O great? XD It's so cheesy, you've gotta love it. Wait til you see episode 3; it's the first ep with the OP. Muahahaa. And yes, Relena's seiyuu plays Dorothy. Dorothy has the absolute best lines in that show! Woo~
Also, I'm prolly going to order an external mod from gameenhancers.com, since they're cheap and so am I ^_- Thanks for the info, though! =D I need to save my pennies for Christmas shopping.

Christmas is too close for my comfort. I hate spending Christmas alone. Grr. Well, I have my family, but all the songs about mistletoe and all that start to get to me after a while, no matter what public face I put on. *sigh* Ah well, such is life.

Speaking of such things, I am annoyed at my ex. Last night I went out of my way to be nice, despite the fact that he has been trying to level the Mighty Cannon of Guilt at me. However, he was barely even civil. Grr. I understand that he is hurt and will have a harder time moving on than I did, but the way he is going about things is childish and not helping matters any. I guess he doesn't care whether or not he burns his bridges.

On the player now: my favorite Macross song, Jade. *whistles*

Fly me to the moon, and let me play among the stars...

Ok, last night I was in a really bad mood, as I am sure you can tell. But I feel a lot better now! So it's ok. I had a talk with friends and got some important things off my chest. Now, hopefully, I can go back to being normal again. Yeah.

Matt and I are going on a trek to find a relatively cheap plug mod for my Playstation so I can FINALLY DDR again. I need to DDR. For all of you who haven't tried it, let me tell you that once you get past the initial weirdness and get used to it, pounding the floor to trashy europop music is a great way to relieve stress and to get exces energy out of your system. It's fun, it's goal-oriented (you are scored on your performance at the end of every song), and it looks really impressive to non-players, even if you suck (like I do ^^;)Oh, and it's incredibly addictive!

To quote oniisan's dad: 'Life is good.' I may have no clue what is coming in the next few weeks or months, but I know it'll be okay no matter what happens. Granted, I may be hoping for one outcome more than others....but I will stop talking in riddles and end this silly blog! Otay, I wuv you, buh bye!

Music: EVA Second Impact (again!) What can I say, the combination of classical tracks and pop tracks is soothing.

Quick blog entry.

Puu: Yes. Big O vs. Chrismas kicked ass. And weren't you supposed to come back and drop off First Mix? ¬_¬

Nekosagi: Aww, he's not evil. He's really a nice guy, although I and some of my classmates butted heads with him on many occasions due to differing opinions on art. How does one teach something so subjective? I've been in art classes for 7 years now and I still can't answer that. Sheesh.

Rar! I am feeling rather stuck in place right now. I need to do something rather than go to sleep or cry, two things I really should not need to do right now o_o

Please ignore the last paragraph. I just feel weird.

On the CD player: Titan AE soundtrack. Awesome CD...I bought it before the movie was even out. It's all Kchan's fault ^_^

P.S. I almost forgot! I did this picture of the #yaoshi gumi while bored. Emi, Yuuhi, Puu, K-chan, and Tanzy are on there, in case you read any of their blogs. I'm in there too ^^; A thousand apologies to Nataku, Yue, and Kourin...I don't know what you three look like, so I couldn't draw you ;_;

Damn you, F4! Damn you all to hell!

I love HYD. I'm so hooked *_* Nothing like angst and ass-kicking (face-kicking? ^^;) high school girls to make me happy. I wish I was that assertive in junior high. In high school and even now I just don't care what other people think of me. Then again, people don't chase me down and cover me in garbage....anyhoo, I saw the first four tonight and will be getting the next four tomorrow.

T-chan, I know exactly what you are going through. I've been there so many times ^^; I may be fairly outgoing, but I am so bad at expressing important things like that. I'll make my feelings totally obvious, but I can never bring myself to actually say anything to the guy...unless they bring it up, and that's only happened once. Hmph. :P It's one of the traits about myself that I hate...I tend to keep important things too bottled up. Maybe I'm just cowardly and afraid of being hurt yet again :P At least I can use this pita to shamelessly whine about my problems to the world ^^;
By the way, I just had no appetite today :P Yeesh.

You will all go to Mitsuwa next Saturday! I command you! ^_-

Archive! *makes the ICQ System Notice noise*

Nothing productive to say, other than I am being antisocial and watching HYD tonight. Well, I don't have anywhere to go anyhoo ^^;

Catherine and Donna (my roomie) are trying to make me go eat with them o_o I'm not hungry, though..it's too early for me ^^; Apparently they think I don't eat enough or something o_o Bah :P
