HAHAHAHAHA MORE SHIKATA AKIKO. Shit I love this woman.

We're going to Atlanta tomorrow! Mom wants to go to the Civil War something-or-other, Harley wants to go to the zoo, and I wanna go to the Puppetry Museum. We're gonna stay there for I think three days. I will be sure to take pictures. I'll probably get souvenirs for a couple of friends, although I'm not sure what. And that's about it.

BUT IN OTHER NEWS. Who wants to see my room with the help of my crappy camera phone?

Overview! My room is very messy. ):
My bed! It is very comfy. \o/
The place near my bed! It is also very messy. And yes, I do have two fans. And yes, one of those fans is on top of some books.
My manga shelf! Plus my PRINCE plaque and three of my crowns.
My regular book shelf! Also four of my Victorian masks. The books used to be really nice and orderly, but that doesn't last long in my room.
The huge stack of school papers on top of my book shelf! I can actually throw these away. YESSSSSSSSSSS.
My desk! It's a lot messier than it looks, I assure you.

THE MORAL OF THE STORY: Don't be like Rosie, kids! Clean your rooms!

Also Bryt keeps calling me cute. What is this madness. ;-;

01. Make a list of 5 things you can see:
⇒ My DS
⇒ My horribly messy desk
⇒ Victorian mask
⇒ Cappuccino cup
⇒ Cellphone

02. Would you ever get plastic surgery?
If it were cheap and didn't leave scars, sure.

03. What kind of magazines do you read?
Whatever's lying around. There's usually at least one article worth reading.

04. What's your occupation?
Student. ;-;

05. Do you nap a lot?
It's all I ever do. Well. Actually. Mom says that I don't ever nap. I say, "I'm gonna go take a nap," and she's like, "'kay, see you tomorrow." And it's usually true.

06. What was your first celebrity crush?
I've never actually had one? I do think Jake Gyllenhaal is one of the best actors ever, though! Does that count?

07. What's your current fandom/obsession/addiction?
Suikoden Tierkreis. Also, Shikata Akiko. ):

08. What are you listening to right now?
Sorriso by Shikata Akiko. This song is so freakin' beautiful. Shikata Akiko is like the Japanese Enya.

09. What food could you eat every day for weeks and not get sick of?
Pad Thai. Oh god, when was the last time I had that?

10. What websites do you always visit when you go online?
LJ, Google, OneManga, MangaFox, dA.

11. What was the last thing you bought?
Suikoden Tierkreis. I BOUGHT IT WITH MY OWN MONEY. \o/

12. What was the cutest thing you've seen today?
I've been looking at yaoi manga all day. You REALLY expect me to answer this?

13. Does the weather affect your mood?
Not really. I mean, yeah, if it's sunny and hot (sup Florida?), I sadface, but if it's rainy and cloudy, I'm pretty much \o/ all day. But that's it. There's no huge impact.

14. What is your zodiac sign?
Aries. I sometimes think that maybe it's the reason why I'm so attracted to horns.

15. Do you want to learn another language?
I want to learn Russian, Japanese, Italian, and German. So yeah.

16. Would you like to get married one day?
No thanks. ): I'm good with just adopting a kid or two and then raising them by myself.

17. Do you have any siblings?
A sister, a half-sister, two half-brothers, and two sisters-in-law.

18. What's something you'd like to say to someone right now?
Please stop complaining. |:

19. What are you looking forward to?
Going to Atlanta! Idk when that is. But it'll happen! Eventually.

20. Say something to the person who tagged you:
I'd tap that.

Holy crap guys. I am in love. With Shikata Akiko. Her music (above) is fucking beautiful. It's perfect. I could seriously listen to Umineko no Naku Koro ni (the song up there) for hours and hours. Also, Katayoku no Tori, the OP for Umineko no Naku Koro ni, is amazing. I'm so glad I decided to watch it.

. . . Except for Maria. That little bitch is so annoying. I want to punch in her (admittedly) moe face.

Oh! And everyone should read RustBlaster. I was close to tears a couple of times. ;-; I'm sad it ended so quickly, but luckily, I found a fanfic that acts as a sequel! I hope for the best. \o/

It took me FOUR DAYS of non-stop playing to beat Suikoden Tierkreis, guys. And when I say non-stop, I really mean, non-stop. As soon as I woke up, somehow usually at 10 AM, I would start playing, and then I would usually go to bed at around 6 AM. That's how awesome that game was for me. I got 104 stars out of 108. I sadly missed Luvais, Gilliam, Namna, and Kow-Low. But I don't care about any of them so it's all good.

Argh, seriously, I wish there was a bigger fandom for Tierkreis. It's a really good game, except for the voice acting. OH GOD that voice acting. . . at one point, the Hero (who I named Yuichi) said, "Prepare to die!" and the way he said it. . . made me just burst out laughing. It was hilarious. Of course, there were some good VAs. Like Atrie's was pretty okay. But the Hero's was crap. ):

So. My favorite characters.

( YAY PICTURES )

Please. Someone. Play this game so I can have someone to fangirl with. Because Marelle says it's a shitty game and won't play it, and Sarah won't play it. DO IT FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Also, in other news, I got my braces taken off! But now I have to wear a retainer. Guys, I'm gonna admit right now, I naturally have a bit of a lisp. A lot of my "s" words sound weird. But guys. . . with this goddamn retainer. . . my lisp is like, over 9000 times worse. I can hardly say words like "speech" or things with a prominent "e". FML. ;-;

So Marelle got Suikoden Tierkreis for her birthday, right? And I've been wanting to try it out ever since she got it. So Sarah and I spent the night at her house yesterday. For some reason, I woke up at something like 8:16 in the morning, so not having anything better to do, I started to play Suikoden.

Okay, seriously, two things.

1. WHY IS THERE NOT MORE SLASH IN THIS FANDOM????? JESUS, I MEAN REALLY, JALE IS COMPLETELY GAY FOR THE HERO. Every time he lands the finishing blow to an enemy, he's always like, "I did it, (name of hero)!" Seriously, what the hell.

2. I am buying this game. I mean, yeah, I wish Marelle would just like. Give hers to me so I didn't have to start all over. But considering how long it is, I think I'd be better off just buying my own. It's totally worth $35, guys.

But uh. Some of the voice acting. Is so bad. But it either gets better as the game progresses or you just get used to it.

. . . Hopefully, someone is willing to drive me to Walmart so I can buy it tomorrow. ;-;

EDIT: HOLY CRAP, my mom is awesome.

So since it Wednesday, we went out to the barn, right? And Jenny, my older sister, wanted help putting sand in her horse's run (the little area that he lives in). So mom was like, "Sure, I'll help!" So she just got home, at like, 9:00, right? And I said, "If you're not busy tomorrow, can we go to Walmart? There's a game I really wanna get." And my mom looked at me and said, "Let's go right now." So after I told her how much I loved her and shit, we went, and they didn't even have it. Mom's response? "I feel like I failed as a mother. ;-;" AND SHE THEN PROCEEDED TO CALL TARGET, to see when they closed. Sadly, they close at 10, and it was 9:50 by the time we got through in Walmart. But she said that we'd go to Game Stop to see if they have it tomorrow.

Guys, seriously, you only wish your mom was as cool as mine.

Wait. . . Sengoku BASARA only has 12 episodes?

....................................

LORD WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME

Edit: /a/ informs me that it will indeed have another season. FUCK YEAH

Reply to this meme by yelling posting in all caps "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.

BEAT: DAISUKENOJO. Beat may be one of the most retarded people I've ever had the pleasure of seeing in a video game, and he's a wigger to make things worse, but I'll be damned if he doesn't appeal to my "oh you" senses. I want to be his BFF or something, he's just that cool. Definitely one of my favorite characters ever.

Belphegor: !?!?!?!? BELPHEGOR IS THE KIND OF CHARACTER THAT IF HE CAME TO KILL ME I WOULD BE LIKE "DO IT" BECAUSE IT WOULD BE AWESOME TO BE KILLED BY HIM. K-kinda. I'm such a Bel-fangirl, guys, it's not even funny. I seriously only read KHR for Bel (and Gokudera). If he were to be killed off, I'd be like, "Okay, I'm done with this." ): IS THAT SHALLOW OR WHAT.

Ren Vocaloid: Assuming we're talking "Len" here, then yeah, favorite Vocaloid out of all of them. I don't even know why. He's just so cool. And I love his voice (when done right; see Real Tag). I actually hate when people draw him as a shouta! I don't know why, maybe it's because I don't really see him as supa kawaii desu, and see him more like he's a pretty cool guy. I also ship Len x Kaito like burning.

Demyx: Oh Jesus. Demyx is my favorite Organization member. I just. . . I love his "personality", and when 358/2 comes out, he's gonna be the first one that I'm gonna try to get as playable. When he "died" in the game the first time that I played it, I knew it was gonna happen, but I teared up anyways. Ugh, Jesus Dem, why are you so freakin' cool. ;-;

KHR: Like I already said, I would be significantly less interested in KHR if Bel weren't around. I would enjoy if they talked more about the actual mafia and stuff, because I am indeed a mafia fangirl. Other than that, lol typical shounen do not want. ):

Also,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARELLE ☆

So guys. Yesterday. I woke up at like, 3:30 PM. And guess what?

MY FACE. WAS BLEEDING.

I don't even know why. And it was a lot of blood too. It was coming from riiiiiight under my nose, but it wasn't a nosebleed (which woulda been cool).

So I get up and go wash my face and proceed to think over and over again WTF WHERE DID ALL THIS BLOOD COME FROOOOOOOOOOOM? So I go back into my room right. And I check my bed, 'cause like I said, lots of blood. And I'm expecting for BLOOD TO BE EVERYWHERE. On my pillow, my sheets, on my blanket. . .

Guys. Guys.

There wasn't a single. Speck. Of blood. Anywhere. I seriously don't even know. It makes no sense at all. I am completely awed by this phenomenon. Seriously.

Anywho.

Lately I've been talking a lot to the fabulous ~*~Baryhthia~*~ or however the hell you spell her name. I just call her Bryt. ): BUT UH, seriously, she's freakin' amazing and I love her with every fiber of my being. ;-; She's pretty much perfect in every way but for some reason considers me one of her best friends.

SOME OF OUR MANY CONVERSATIONS:

( APRIL 18 )

In which we discuss our RP:
( JUNE 10 )

In which Bryt and I realize just how synchronized our brains are:
( JUNE 16 )

btw Riku is her girlfriend/cousin. \o/


. . . But seriously, I fkin love Bryt. ;---------------; She's also a really good artist!

In other news, it's my mom's birthday! And tomorrow is Marelle's birthday! With our money combined, Harley and I will buy her. . . Pokemon Platnium! And then it was good.

Also, Kuro, I'm in love with Vienna Teng. ):

So today I'm going to get myself turned around, sleep-wise, and will probably go to bed at like, 8 PM or something. To bide my time, we're going to se UP in Destin at the Rave. But that's at 3.

SO, since I can't sleep, I figured, hey, I'll go to 4chan! And I browsed /b/ and then /a/ for a little while. Then I thought, "I'll creep myself out so I won't want to sleep for now!" Great idea right?

. . .

First of all: Why I don't want to swim ever. I can't even put that thing under a cut. I have to link to it. That's how bad it scares me, guys.

Second: LIFE. I AM SO SCARED OF LOOKING AT THIS THAT I GAVE IT IT'S OWN FOLDER ON PHOTOBUCKET. SO I DON'T HAVE TO LOOK AT IT EVERYTIME I UPLOAD SOMETHING. AND THEN I UPLOADED FIVE NEW PICS SO IT WASN'T ON MY "NEWEST UPLOADS" THING. THAT is how scary this is for me.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, MAN. -sob-

Rules—
01. Anyone who looks at this entry has to post this meme and their current wallpaper at their LiveJournal.
02. Explain in five sentences why you're using that wallpaper!
03. Don't change your wallpaper before doing this! The point is to see what you had on!

( cut for huge image ): )

My background actually changes randomly every thirty minutes, so. \o/ That's my "reason". YEAAAAAAAAAAH COP OUT.

ALSO PLEASE. GUYS. READ KUROKO NO BASKET. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. -sob-

HO HO FIRST ALL-NIGHTER OF THE SUMMER.

.........................................

I spent all night reading a bad fanfic. And it was that kinda bad that you couldn't look away from. Like a "Ruining Your Childhood" thread on /b/.

And then I read some fanfic that had some porn in it. And it read like a bad romance novel. Something about a "rock hard erection," a "finely sculpted chest," and so on. It was great!

AND THEN I REALIZED MY DEEP SEATED LOVE FOR DEMYX. Oh god, I love Demyx so much. He's up there with Bel, man. And that's just crazy.

So I'm going through that thing where after you stay up all night you're incredibly hyper. God I wish I had a cup of coffee, but we don't have any around.

CHRIST I HAVEN'T EVEN SHOWERED YET. What is wrong with me.

. . . I think if Bel x Demyx made any sense as a pairing, I would explode. THANK GOD IT DOESN'T.

lol okay I'm going to read more fanfic ;-;

I AM FINALLY FREE
OF THE HELL
KNOWN AS
WEB DESIGN

OH MAN GUYS I FEEL SO GOOD RIGHT NOW. Seriously, I think I did well on my first two exams. And finally. . . after waiting all year. . . I never have to go to web design ever again. FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOOM. @_@

I think I will actually miss aerobics just a little bit, though. ):

Also, Sakura Drops is such a pretty song. ;-; I already downloaded it. Yaaaaaay xzetta \o/

SO GUYS, FINAL WEEK OF SCHOOL. THIS WEEK. Actually, it's not even a full week. Four days of exams. NOT SO GREAT, but I can deal. We'll have two classes a day (except Friday), each class being two hours long. Tomorrow, I'll have my aerobics and web design exams; Tuesday will be science and French; Wednesday will be Human Geography (which I get to skip! Hurrah!) and literature; and Friday will be algebra. The only exam that I'm confident about is, of course, lit. I'm just happy none of my exams are pass-or-fail. -sob-

On another note, I borrowed Marelle's PS2 and Sarah's KH2 again! Oh god, I want a PS2 so bad guys. I want my own copies of the KH games and Sengoku Basara. But uh, in KH2, after a good while, I finally got the Ultima Weapon. Shit, I was so happy when that freakin' Bulky Vendor dropped that orichalcum. ): Now all I need is Goofy's Save the King, and I'll have all the best weapons in the game.

Speaking of Kingdom Hearts, 358/2 was released yesterday in Japan. ;-; DO WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT. hibarik_youya is so fkin lucky to have gotten a copy, even if it is in moonspeak. I WANT TO PLAY DEMYX SO BAD, GUYS. SO BAD. Bitches need to hurry up and translate. ;-------------------;

ALSO, YESTERDAY, Marelle, Sarah, and I went to see Drag Me to Hell. It. . . It looked scary in the trailers, but. . . the three of us couldn't stop laughing. "I DON'T WANT YOUR KITTEN, YOU LITTLE BITCH." Seriously, it was great. Sarah thinks that it was a "for-the-lulz" movie, but Marelle and I think that it was complete srs bsns. If the latter is true, it just makes it even funnier.

And somewhat off-topic, but does anyone know of any other good Utada Hikaru/Hikaru Utada (whichever you prefer) songs? I like Passion and Beautiful World, but I'm. I'm too lazy to look up any of her other songs. ):

Also, small fact! Passion is the only Japanese song I can sing along to. I think it took me a week to memorize the lyrics. Totally worth it.

And I would also like to point out that both KH openings make my head fuzzy. Good fuzzy.

Did anyone else know that Chuck Palahniuk came out with a new book? It's called Pygmy. Mom and Harley saw it at Target today and thought I would be interested, so they bought it. But I was really surprised! I haven't heard anyone talk about it. But whatever. The way he writes is only slightly hard for me to follow (it's like reading Engrish, I swear), but other than that, I like it. FLYING GIANT STORK DEATH KICK. STRIKING COBRA QUICK KILL. BARRACUDA DEADLY EYE GOUGE. etc.

lol also ( POKEMON TRAINER CODE )

aaaaaaand that's about it. \o/

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH two hour long 4th period tomorrow! Luckily, that's my French class, and I have Krissa and Megan in that class, so it's cool. If Krissa isn't too busy hatching eggs, she says that she will battle me in Pokemon. I WILL KICK HER ASS IF IT IS THE LAST THING I DO. Thank god for senior testing!

( POKEMON DREAM TEAM )

Also, speaking of French class, a bunch of us are bringing in food, possibly for a grade, next Wednesday. I can't exactly remember what I'm making, but the picture looked delicious. Something about potatoes, idk.

. . . Oh, and uh. I. Ship Tod and Copper from the Fox and the Hound. I MEAN, REALLY GUYS. IT'S FREAKIN' CANON.



LOOK AT THAT. LOOK AT THATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. If that's not canon, I don't know what is.

Ohhhh, and Kuro, I think, considering our time differences, that we should RP through LJ. How's that sound~?

RAAAAAH CHRIST. I am the worst student ever. I fell asleep in all but one of my classes, and out of the six that I fell asleep in, I fell asleep for pretty much the whole period in four of them. But you know what the stupidest thing is? The one class that I didn't fall asleep in. . .

Was my human geo class, in which we are watching movies and doing nothing. |:

MAN, I SUCK. Just fail me now, dude.

Also, I've noticed that I have a habit of saying, "That sort of thing. . ." in my head. L-like in a manga. AHAHAHA fuck I am so lame. LAMER THAN KURO AND WEN PUT TOGETHER. I may as well kill myself.

I need to try to go to bed on time tonight, so that this doesn't happen again. ):

So guys, what's the point of having a Dreamwidth?

Also, a question about my layout: are the colors for the banner and the bg the same color? 'Cause I was using Marelle's laptop last night while I was over at her place and I wanted to see how it looked on there, and it looked fine, except that the colors were different! And I was like, "wtf is this bullshit!?" ):

Speaking of Marelle~~ I succeed in getting her to fall in love with Pokemon. Took my DS over to her house and lended it to her, although I'm making her play Sapphire so that I may continue with my file on Diamond. AWESOME.

We went and bought me new shoes, a new jacket, and a couple of new shirts today at the mall. We also bought Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which looks hilarious. \o/

. . . Need to watch Donnie Darko again.

;kldfaaghje DAMMIT WHAT THE HELL. SHIIIIIT. Sam has it! Christ. Now I'll have to watch it on the internet.

OH MY GOD GUYS, ACTUALLY, SPEAKING OF DONNIE DARKO, DID YOU KNOW THEY'RE COMING OUT WITH A SEQUEL!? It's based on Donnie's little sister Sam. It's called S. Darko. The original director of Donnie Darko says that he has nothing to do with it, which I thing is really funny. The movie looks like shit, though.



Rage. |:

SO I HAD AN AP HUMAN GEOGRAPHY EXAM TODAY. Final exam, of course. It's graded on a scale of 1-5. There were two parts: 75 multiple choice questions (MCQs), and three free-response questions (FRQs). Both were 50% of your grade. And it's nice, 'cause if you fail it, you don't fail the class, you just don't receive the college credit. I think I did. . . okay? on the MCQs, but. Christ. I failed those FRQs hardcore man.

For example, the last one had a chart showing the decrease of dairy markets and the increase of organic farms from 1970 to 2020. Part A of the FRQ was, "Give TWO detailed reasons as to why dairy farms have declined since 1970," or something like that. My two reasons? (1) Shortage of cows and (2) the fact that we've probably learned to make artificial milk (SOY MILK! lol thanks Marelle). As I was writing this, I had to stifle my laughter. It was hilarious. And uh, part B was, "Give TWO detailed reasons as to why organic farms have increased since 1970." Again, my two reasons? (1) Healthier choices!? and (2) idk what organic even means, so uh, I don't have one. That's pretty much what I said, but smarter! Oh god, whoever got my paper will think I'm the most retarded person to ever have lived. I hope they laughed, though. ):

But now that that's over with, I pretty much have a free fifth period, since that was my human geo class. He says that we can do whatever the hell we want, so I was thinking of bringing in my DS. \o/

Oh, btw. Speaking of the DS. I have. Decided. To buy Marelle a DS with my $125 dollars. I just hope she doesn't mind used, because used is only $109. I figure since it's my money, I can do whatever the hell I want with it. It shall be her ~*~birthday present~*~.

I've decided that from now on, whenever I write an entry, I will always include music at the top. GREAT IDEA, RIGHT!?

EDIT: DS apparently means "Dual Screen." IT ALL MAKES SENSE.
