SUP GUYS? This post will be dedicated to what's been goin' on in my life whilst I have ignored LJ for greater things. But, since I'm a lazy bitch, this post'll use pictures and minimal words. And some songs, duh. NOW LET'S GET STARTED! (And no, you don't get an LJ cut.)

MY CURRENT OUTLOOK ON LIFE!

And that's all I can think of right now. AWESOME.

WHAT THE FUCK? HANDCUFFS? Thanks for proving that Hibari really is an S, Amano. Jesus.

Also, I call a "they-were-reincarnated-as-(soandso)-and-thus-are-carbon-copies" on all of the 1st Gen guardians and the Current Gen guardians. Tsuna looks exactly like the First Boss? Hibari looks exactly like the First Cloud Guardian? Way too much of a coincidence. |:

/exit, stage left!

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH my life has been consumed by Devil Survivor! It's. . . something between awesome and horrible. Because SHIT I LOVE THIS GAME. But also, it's apparently very influential on my poor delicate psyche! I don't know why. I can't tell you how many times I've had dreams related to it, though. This shit didn't happen with the God Eaters (except once) and Suikoden Tierkreis. Is it because it's about demons. . . ?

My ~Nameless Protagonist~ is Itsuki "Itsu" Hakuse. Whether or not those are actual names, I don't know. I think Itsuki might be. But Itsu is currently lvl 52 right now. I just beat Belial (which wasn't as difficult as I thought it was. The only time I was worried was when that bitch summoned four other demons. Also when he did that whole METEOR ATTACK or whatever, because I thought at first he was gonna do some major healing -- definite DO NOT WANT) and uh, I'm. . . kinda aiming for Naoya's or Kaido's route. Whichever gets me to be the King of Bel. (I also just. . . really wanna make Naoya pleased with me. WHY DO I SUCK SO BAD.) My stats at the moment, including for Atsuro and Yoohoo Frou-Frou Yuzu:

( FUCK YEAH STATS )

BUT SPEAKING OF KAIDO. . . Jesus christ, I never realized how GAY he was for me! I love Kaido, but throughout the whole game, he's been a douche to me. Idk, man. He's just so BADASS somehow. Even more badass than Amane! So eventually, he's like, "Dude, Itsu, you and me should team the fuck up. Because the two of us? Could control the mo'fuckin' WORLD. Sup." And I'm like, "KAIDO, YES, COME TO ME." And then. . . he says. . .

"As of now, I'm swearing my life to you. Your life belongs to me, now, too. Even if the whole world is your enemy, I'll protect you."

. . . . . . . . . . KAIDO, WHEN DID YOU TURN GAY FOR ME?!?!?!? I NEVER. . . I NEVER EVEN REALIZED. . . SHIT. . . And then I just got an e-mail from him, and at the end, it says,

"It's time we talked face-to-face again. I'm waiting for you."

AND NOT ONLY THAT, NAOYA E-MAILS ME TOO, AND AT THE END OF HIS E-MAIL, HE SAYS,

"Itsuki...
Come to me. Now."

SCORE. SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE.



However, even though Kaido's sudden affection pleases me, I'm still not cool with Yuzu and Midori. And Haru is an emo bitch. I SHOULD'VE SAVED KEISUKE INSTEAD. FML.

But ugh, this game. I'm glad /cm/ convinced me to buy it. \o/

(The battle system reminds me of chess. Granted, I've never played chess, so I could be completely misguided. Just had to put that out there.)


Also, this game makes me want a new username. WHO WANTS TO BUY ME ONE?

ALWAYS WATCHING.

Alternatively, Ce n'est pas une fortune cookie.

WOW, LONGEST WEEK OF MY LIFE. Shit felt more like 5 weeks rather than 5 days. I can only hope that I get used to it. PRAY FOR ME, GUYS. And if you don't pray, then at least wish me luck. I deserve it. |:

First period, English, is a pretty cool guy. Other than the fact that I am surrounded by assholes (and Kasey). I'm not even kidding. A diagram:



So yeah. But other than thaaat. . . I like the teacher! We're gonna be reading Lord of the Flies during the second 9 weeks, and I am strangely excited for that.

Second period, Art Appreciation, is uh. Cold. Very, very cold. Not sure why. And the teacher's pretty much like, "I DON'T CARE WHAT Y'ALL DO. JUST DON'T BE RETARDED." Of course, he didn't say it like that. He said it in a much more professional way. I don't think I'll be looking forward to this class. ): I do however think that it is a one semester class, not a whole year. Please god let it be true.

Also, we got to pick where we sit, and I chose a table that had no one at it because it had no one at it, and when I sat down. . . I realized that there were swastikas on my table. Somehow, I was not surprised.

Third period, Geometry, SUCKS ASS. My teacher is rage-inducing. She LITERALLY. LITERALLY. Closes her eyes when she talks. ALL THE TIME. And she repeats herself over and over and over again about one specific thing in the lesson. Idk how I'm gonna be able to deal with her the whole year.

Fourth period, French, on the other hand, is ~amazing~. My teacher is ~amazing~. On the first day, a student she had last year, in French 1, I assume, saw her and was like, "You're pregnant!" (She is). And the teacher was like, ". . . What?" And the chick repeated herself. Teacher was like, "WHAT?" Chick repeats herself again. And the teacher looked down at her stomach and, completely shocked, was like, "OH MY GOD." It. . . it was hilarious. Also, we got to pick our own French names! And she's gonna use them to address us the whole year. And we have to use them when we head our papers. I chose Ancel, a boy's name (of course) that means "divine helmet." My other choices were Anastasia, Nel, and Jori. Nel was really cute, but I decided that Ancel was the best. \o/

Lunch is a very happy time for me. Because, I can't remember why, but Sarah has first lunch with me, even though her class is on the first floor. (If your fifth period is on the second floor, you have first lunch; if your fifth period is on the first floor, you have second lunch. Usually.) This is, of course, the only time I get to see her, other than in the halls, so yay. ;-;

Fifth period, Psychology, is pretty sweet. THE TEACHER IS FREAKIN' AWESOME THOUGH. He also teaches AP Psych (I'm in normal, which is only one semester, whereas AP is a whole year) and World Religion, both of which I'm totally gonna take next year. But dude, he went to college and majored in World Religion. The year before he got his degree, though, he decided that he wanted to travel the world. So he sold all of his stuff, and bought a ticket to freakin' India, where he became a monk for seven years. He wandered around in India, teaching people meditation and some other stuff that I can't remember. Then he came back to the US, finished college with a degree in psychology, and proceeded to work at a psych ward for three years. I'm not sure if he could be any more perfect for teaching World Religion/Psych.

Sixth period, Chemistry, also sucks ass. I dislike the teacher. That is all.

Seventh period, AP World History, is the class I have with Marelle! She makes it fun. ;-; She missed the third day of school 'cause she felt shitty, and during seventh, I was a mess. It was just veeeeery awkward for some reason. But uh, I. . . don't know how I feel about the teacher. She seems really new to me, but she's been teaching there for more than 5 years. Also, she won't let us do our outlines on the computer. /sob

SO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT. Goddamn I hate school. Summer, come back to meeeeeeeeee.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaanywho. . . I've been playing Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor lately! At first, I didn't think I'd like the battle system at all, but as it turns out, it's actually really fun. I also love Atsuro. Atsuroooooo~~ But I HATE how they're forcing Yuzu on me. "HEY DUDE IS THAT YOUR GIRLFRIEND?" "Uhm. No. We're just friends." "LOL SURE WHATEVER YOU SAY MAN. I SEE HOW SHE LOOKS AT YOU." I DON'T WANT HER. I WANT ATSURO. DAMMIT.

Also, fml, I've been relating stuff to Oofuri a lot lately. My psych teacher was talking to us about ways to calm ourselves down, because the books talks about the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. My mind almost immediately jumped to MAN ON THIRD and Shigapo. And I had a quiz in World History, and three of the answers read:

2. A
3. B
4. E

And I habitually look for words in my answers, so when I saw that, I lol'd. And then was disappoint in myself.

SO LET'S SEEEEEEE. . .

Yesterday, Harley and I went to school to get our schedules. Upon getting there, however, we were informed that you can only do that from 9 to 2! We went at 3. Seriously, how bad do we suck. So, afterwards, we went and picked up Marelle and Sarah and went to TBS Comics, which is our local nerd/geek/otaku store. It has manga, anime, figurines, comic books, D&D. . . etc. I wanted to go because a tiny, tiny part of me thought that maybe, just maybe, they would have Oofuri stuff. But they didn't. ;-; And I was like, wtf, because they have Vocaloid and Togainu no Chi shit. Sense! It makes none! So uh. Marelle and Sarah bought some Naruto cards, just because they like to collect them. Then we went out and got Sonic, and right after, Harley and I remembered that we had to go to the barn, which means afterwards, we would be getting dinner. So I threw my burger in the frige when we got home from dropping Marelle and Sarah off. Did barn, then we ordered pizza. WHAT WAS THE POINT IN TELLING YOU ALL THAT, YOU ASK? There was none. I'm sorry for wasting your time.

SO TODAY, Harley and I went to go get our schedules at 12! Yes, we are geniuses. My schedule is as follows:

1.  English Honors 2 (IDK IF WANT?! English in the morning, man. Will I be awake enough for this shit?)
2.  Art Appreciation/History (I need an art credit to graduate. Since I can't do actual art for shit, I figured I'd just take this! Hurrah!)
3.  Geometry (do not want do not want do not want GOD I HATE MATH)
4.  French 2 (apparently, my teacher this year is awesome. I can only hope)
5.  Psychology 1 (YAY PSYCHOLOGY \o\ /o/ \o/)
5.5. First lunch (I. . . wanted 2nd lunch with Marelle and Sarah. ;-; Harley also has 1st lunch, but she'll be eating in the acting room, surrounded by people that I don't know. baaaaaaaaaaaaw)
6.  Chemistry (science |: again, do not want)
7.  Adv Pl World History (HISTORY! WITH MARELLE! FUCK YEAH AT LEAST I GET HER IN ONE PERIOD! \\\o///)

Sadly, no classes with Sarah. ):

Ahhhhh, this summer has been a good one. I hung out often with S&M, I accomplished many things (kinda), I traveled to many places, and I started/finished/became enthralled with Oofuri. Yeeeeees, I am pleased with this summer. Although I don't wanna have to go to school. But to be honest, the only thing that I ever really dread about school is the social interaction, with students and teachers both. I don't like people. ): BUT WHATEVER, I feel good about this year for some reason.

. . . Plus, I heard that the Katayoku no Tori single is coming out soon, and that is very much do want. Same with the Kingdom Hearts DS game. \o/

OH. AND THAT REMINDS ME. A couple of days ago, for some reason, 97% of my iTunes music was deleted. ;-; So I've been having to redownload EVERYTHING that I had. fml, man.

( WHAT IS GOING ON )

. . . So now I'm spending the night at Marelle's for no reason whatsoever. AWESOME.

Btw, Shawna = Sarah's older sister.

Left to right~

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. I love Tajima and Mihashi so much. "Let's go to the dugout!" "Okay!" A-and Tajima trying to stick up for Mihashi. . . t-that's just too cute, guys. Too cute. And hilarious. GOD I LOVE YOU TAJIMA AND MIHASHI. /sob

Okay, I'm done. Really. I'll continue to fangirl in my head. Strictly.

So last night, at maybe. . . 10? The power went out for absolutely no reason. And my room was pitch freakin' black and the door was closed. And this MAY COME AS A SURPRISE to some of you, but I'm terrified of the dark. And I had my cellphone on my desk, so I was about to open that as a source of light, but then. . . I imagined something being in my room with me, and then that thing would be attracted to the light. So I didn't open my phone, and I actually closed my eyes while I was trying to get out of my room. A-and then when I was almost to the door, I started to hyperventilate 'cause I was so scared. And then I ran into the office where mom and Harley were. And they were like, "LOL ROSIE wtf is wrong with you." And when I told Sarah about it, she said that she thinks I have "an illusionary sixth sense," and that "when [I'm] alone in the dark, [I] make a habit of thinking that HEY, I'm not really alone." I think she may be on to something! @_@

What else, what else. . . ah, we're going to North Carolina on Thursday to go see my brother. Mom said it'll take 12 hours to get there, and we're probably gonna stay for a couple of days. P-please, whatever gods may be listening, let there be entertaining things to do in North Carolina.

And speaking of which. . . I actually wanted to leave tomorrow. But Harley had something she kinda wanted to do, and when I asked mom about it yesterday, she said she would also like to go tomorrow. So earlier today, I successfully convinced Harley to let us go to tomorrow, and afterwards, I texted my mom asking her if that was okay. She called me and said that it was way to short of a notice, and that we apparently had shit to do before we could leave, so we would go Thursday. I told her fine, but it was obvious that I was a bit disappointed (also a bit pissed because the whole time she had been making me think of all the stuff that we would need to do before we left, because I'm "at the age where I need to be able to make plans." Wtf, seriously), and then we hung up. Five minutes later, mom calls me again, and I answer the phone with, "What?" Because that's ALWAYS how I answer the phone when it's someone I know. Either that or, "what do you want from me?" And she KNOWS that. I've answered the phone like that with her countless times before. But, FOR SOME REASON, she gets really pissed off and says that's a rude way to answer the phone. She asks, "Are you annoyed? Is that it?" So I tell her, yeah, I'm annoyed. And then I apologize for answering the phone like that and ask, "What do you need?" in a completely innocent way. She replies, "I don't need anything," in a "I'm fucking pissed, so fuck you" tone of voice and then hangs up on me. For no reason. She didn't even tell me why she called. She's home now, and I could talk to her about it, but I don't wanna. Because I know she'll pin all the blame on me and make me feel guilty as shit. So I'm good with just leaving it alone.

I THINK THAT'S IT. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to find videos of some Red Sox games.

What kind of question is this. |:

This song makes me so nostalgic. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAW OOFURI ;----;

UGH. MY SLEEPING LIFE SUUUUUUUUCKS. It's either I go to bed really late (10 AM) and wake up really late (11 PM) or I go to sleep really early (9 PM) and wake up really early (6 AM). CAN I NOT HAVE A NORMAL SLEEPING SCHEDULE?! -sob- fmllllllllllll

Also, whenever I think about Oofuri, I get really happy and excited and stuff. @_@ I'm in love with this series. I seriously will probably watch it again. I'm also reading the manga, and the art is a little bad, but it's easy to get used to. It could definitely be worse.

And because of Oofuri, Marelle and I have a new love for baseball! Once baseball season starts, in the Spring, we're gonna go and watch our school's baseball team. (Have I already said this before? I. . . can't remember.) And Marelle says she doesn't really like MLB, but I personally am looking for a team to support. I don't want one that obviously wins all the time, like the Rays or something. I wanna like the members of the team, ya know? And the battery has to be super close, like BFFs.

WHICH BRINGS ME TO THE FACT THAT I CAN'T STOP COMPARING BATTERIES TO THE NISHIURA BATTERY. Skill wise, I mean. I've only seen a couple of pitchers, but none of them are as good as Mihashi. None of them appear to desire the mound like Mihashi did. And none of them seem to have the control that Mihashi did, either. And it doesn't look like the catchers are strategizing and assessing the batters, like Abe always was. /whine

SO GUYS, DO ANY OF YOU FOLLOW BASEBALL? IF SO, WHO ARE YOUR FAVORITE TEAMS? Idk why I ask, no one's going to answer anyways.

. . . Off-topic kinda, but I really like my default icon right now. HOW DID I GET THAT GLOW? D-dammit. But I need icons of people other than Abe. I MEAN SERIOUSLY, ABE, YOUR DEFAULT EXPRESSION IS ANNOYED. HOW DO I GET SO MUCH OUT OF YOU WITH ICONS?! If ANYTHING, I should be getting a lot of icons out of MIHASHI, considering he's like. Me in anime form as far as personality goes. Gtfo Abe. Gtfo.

OH. ALSO. MOVIE NIGHT WITH MARELLE AND SARAH TONIGHT! FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. \o/

GUYS I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO POST FOR THE LONGEST TIME NOW

BUT THE OOFURI FANDOM DISTRACTED ME LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE

SO GUYS, THIS IS MY OOFURI POST.

So seriously, I started Oofuri because of this:

( Read more... )

And so I started watching it the next day as soon as I woke up. ;-;

Guys, I am so fkin happy though, that Marelle commentary'd that shit. Because Oofuri is one of the best animes ever. I went for the gay, and I stayed for the gay combined with baseball. That's right. I now have an interest. In baseball. It's the exact same thing with how Kuroko no Basket got me into basketball. Seriously, sports anime/manga is so addictive.

I love all of the characters. And I can name everyone on the team. B-but Mihashi reminds me so much of myself it's. . . it's almost a little scary. He's so scared of everything, and he stutters a lot, and he's dependant, and he's just so freakin' ME. I've never really had a character I can actually identify with, ya know? I've had characters that I've thought, "Man, I wish I could be (insert character)," but Mihashi is the only one that I've ever thought, "Woah, I totally get him."

But I also love Abe and Tajima and Izumi and Mizutani and Hamada and ~*~MOMOKAN~*~ who is the most badass female to have ever been in an anime.

LORD. THIS ANIME IS PERFECT. I FEEL SO NOT LAME WHEN I WATCH IT. 'CAUSE I MEAN, IT'S BASEBALL.

Also, THIS. God, I can't stop laughing. ;-;

( because I couldn't really decide on which to put )

So the other day, my brother and his fiance came to visit us for the weekend. We all decided to go out to dinner at Logan's for the occasion. I don't really get along well with my bro (Luke) and his fiance (Ashley). They're just. . . so. . . HAPPY. Like, their kids are gonna be so screwed up. Because they're so freaking happy. It's sickening, really. But uh, while we were at dinner, we were all talking and stuff, and I can't remember what brought it up, but suddenly Luke says, "You're an otaku, aren't you Rosie?"

Okay, two things.

1. WHERE DID HE LEARN THE TERM "OTAKU"? He's been at West Point Military Academy for the past like, four years! He didn't even know what a DS was! HOW DOES HE KNOW THAT WORD?

2. I AM NOT AN OTAKU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. A weeaboo, yes. Sure. I am somehow okay with being called a weeaboo. But an otaku? No. Definitely not.

Long story short, I was slightly offended. My response was pretty much, ". . . ???????????" while mimicking a goldfish.

Anywho.

The two things I am currently very preoccupied with: Pendulum and Shousetsu Bang*Bang. I seriously can't stop listening to Pendulum's Hold Your Colour CD. And B*B has a lot of great stories. I'm so happy with life right now, guys. So happy. \o/

. . . Except for the fact that I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. WHY GOD WHY.

EDIT: . . . WHERE DID MY TAGS GO?!

EDIT 2: OH MY GOD I'M ONLY ALLOWED TO HAVE 1200 TAGS WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS I DON'T EVEN dfkhsgdfljgdfohytpksldjtoerighiraengkdfsjyghepf

EDIT 3: . . . This is such a hard thing to do. But. I'm gonna get rid of all my tags that don't really have anything to do with an entry. ;-;

SO GUYS AS YOU MAY HAVE ALREADY NOTICED, I'm back from Atlanta. Although it was really, really fun, I'm still glad to be home. Although I will miss that hotel room. . .

OKAY, so I'll start from the beginning.

The trip took pretty much 7 or 8 hours. We left around 4 and got there around 11 or 12, I can't remember which. The trip up there was, of course, fun for me, since I love long car rides, but I was dead tired by the time we got to the hotel. The hotel, btw, was a. . . Micro-something. When I first went in, I freaked the hell out, of course, because MIRRORS. LINED. THE WHOLE LEFT WALL. RIGHT BEHIND. THE BEDS. (I would like to point out the fact that I seriously do not have even a single mirror anywhere in my room.) And for some reason, they had a mirror hanging on the opposite wall, so it was pretty much an Invisible Monsters scenario. Watching yourself watching yourself watching yourself etc. There was also what we believed to be blood on the carpet. I took pictures with my cell, but of course, they turned out bad and you can barely make anything out. ;-; Finally, the room we got was right across from the strip club, the Pink Pony, who currently features the hot Jesse Jane! All in all, it was awesome.

(Except for the fact that I had nightmares about our room the first night. I kid you not. Mom and Harley let me have a bed to myself because I don't like sleeping with people, so in my dream, I woke up and looked over at their bed. And Harley was sitting up and staring at me and her eyes were COMPLETELY FUCKING BLACK and her mouth was gaping open, way wider than any human mouth should be able to open, and it was also pitch black. And she was just. Staring at me. There was also something about sacrifices?)

So! We got our hotel room, went to bed, and then woke up at 8:10. We went down to eat breakfast, blah blah blah, and then we went to the Aquarium! I'll upload pictures eventually. Harley took some really good ones. But uh, I dunno, Aquariums aren't really my thing? Plus, the one in New Orleans was better. But it's cool. At least I got to see the jellyfish. \o/ Also, I pretty much abandoned mom and Harley at some point and went off on my own. Harley's obsessed with getting pictures of everything, and she didn't wanna be left alone, so mom stayed with her, and they were just going waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too slow for me. I walk too fast for my own good. ):

(Also, Harley pointed out that the giant crabs look like Megatron. They are now known as the Decepticrabs.)

After the Aquarium, we went to the COCA-COLA FACTORY!! (Which was conveniently right across from the Aquarium.) We saw this adorable short film about what goes on inside coca-cola machines, ya know, when you put money in. And seriously, guys, it was so cute. Here's a shortened version of it. Those two grey things, in the hard hats, held hands at the very end of the one we watched. I d'aw'd hardcore. ;-; We did some other stuff, but the thing that we looked forward to the most was the Taste It! section, where you could drink coca-cola products from North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Of course, we have the best coke products, but Asia has some freakin' delicious ones, too. Holy shit, guys, seriously, I wanna go to Japan now JUST to get some Vegita Beta or whatever it's called. Taiwan had really good stuff too. Europe was pretty much shit, but if you guys ever get the chance to drink a Beverly, from Italy, do it. You will never forget it. I promise. Latin America was. . . decent, but no where close to Asia. I think the best was from Paraguay, but I can't really remember. And I don't even really wanna talk about Africa. Let's just say I feel bad for everyone over there when it comes to coke.

So after all that, it was only something like 2:30, so mom and Harley decided to go buy a battery for her camera at the Best Buy. Of course, while searching for that with the help of the wise and powerful Garmin, Harley saw a bunch of stores she wanted to go to along the street. So she and mom got their battery and we went back to the stores. I decided to stay in the car since I (A) was tired, (B) had a bit of a stomach ache, and (C) felt uncomfortable with walking down a street with people driving by us and potentially staring at me. So after they left, I decided to sleep in the floor of the car because I was scared that someone would notice I was in there if I slept in the seat and upon discovering me they would break into the car, kill me, throw out my dead body, and then steal the car. SO I SLEPT THERE. AND IT WAS SLIGHTLY UNCOMFORTABLE. I DID THAT. FOR THREE HOURS. I have no clue how mom and Harley shopped for three hours, but they did it. After that, it was around 5, so we decided to go ahead and eat while we were out. We went to this diner near our hotel, and it was pretty good, although I can't remember what it was called. Went back to the hotel, I went to sleep at around 2:30 (I was being horribly distracted by Professor Layton, which I just recently picked back up). Once again, got up at 8, ate breakfast, and then we went to. . .

The Zoo! Once again, Harley got some really good pictures. It was. . . pretty much a standard zoo. Except they had some really nice stuff in the gift shop they had for the Pandas. I wanted to get this pretty pair of chopsticks they had, but I didn't know what I would do with them or where I would put them, so I decided not to. We saw everything they had to offer (except the snow leopard, who was strangely absent) and that was it. I mean, it's a zoo. There ain't much to do there but crack jokes about lions and reminisce about Kat Williams.

After that was the Fernbank Museum of National History. They had a dinosaur display thing, and I thought that was awesome, because I was dorky kid and was fascinated by dinosaurs. As with the Aquarium, Harley and mom went really slow, so I went ahead of them. The Georgia National History display, which was on the floor above the dinos, was kinda boring for me, 'cause I mean. I live in Florida. There was this one display of a swamp-like area, and over the speaker was the sounds of the animals that live there, ya know, like the natural sound of that area, and I was just like, "This sounds exactly like our backyard!" Harley and mom said that they thought exactly the same thing when I saw them like an hour later. The third floor was dedicated to World Culture and ~*~SCIENCE~*~! The World Culture thing kept me entertained for a little bit, but ultimately, I spent most of my time in the science part, where you could do all sorts of different little experiments, stuff like optical illusions and light beams and. . . science. . . stuff. Idk. I largely spent my time being a little creepy and just watching people. And that's always just a good way to waste time! At 4, the three of us went to go see an IMAX movie about dinosaurs that had bad acting. BUT HOLY JESUS GUYS. I WANT AN IMAX THEATRE. IN MY HOUSE.

(Also, concerning Chinese culture, CHINESE FOOT BINDING OH FUCK WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THIS I CAN'T EVEN HARDLY LOOK AT THESE PICTURES adflkghjlddgtkj)

We left the museum at 5, since that's when it closed, and went to this pizza place that was in the shopping district that mom and Harley had gone to the day before. It was called Little Five Points Pizza. I hiiiiiiighly recommend it if you're in Atlanta and want some good pizza. It was delicious. I would go so far as to compare it to Mellow Mushroom.

HOTEL SHIT GOES HERE (Actually, when we got back to our hotel room, mom had to go back to the car to get something, so Harley and I went in the room, but the lights weren't on, but we didn't realize that, so when the door shut behind us, it was pitch black. And for a second, we didn't realize what happened, but then we started to freak out and were all tryin' to find the light switch. It was great.)

AND ON THE LAST DAY. . . We went to the High Museum of Art. It was composed of three buildings, the smallest of which was the. . . Anne Cox building? I can't remember. All I know is that one of them had only two floors and one or two conjoining rooms, one had three floors and maybe a couple of conjoining rooms, and one had four floors and OVER 9000 ROOMS THAT ALL SOMEHOW CONNECTED TO ONE ANOTHER. And guys. Guys. There was some shit there that. I don't even know how it's considered art. Take, for example, this fine piece titled simply "Tyrannosaurus #1":

THIS IS ART

Believe me when I say there was worse stuff than that. |:

(Also, I am in love with Richard Misrach)

After we got done with the High, we drove downtown and Harley got some pictures. I wanna live in a big city so bad, though, guys. I love the atmosphere and how constantly busy big cities seem. Also, like I said, I love to watch people. It's a great way to kill time. Plus, you learn a lot of stuff by just watching.

So after all of that, we went and visited my dad, who's currently living in a trailer out in the woods with his friend Charlie in Alabama. They're fixing the trailer so that they can actually live in it well, and then they're gonna start building a lab and stuff for their biochemistry jobs. I really have no clue what they're doing, so. I just go with it. But uh, we rented a hotel room (with dad, since he wanted to take a bath) and went out to Olive Garden afterwords. The hotel room we got this time was complete and utter crap. There was water damage, the beds were uncomfortable, the AC didn't work. . . etc. I woke up at 1am and couldn't get back to sleep for the life of me, so I played Prof Layton until about 7 or 8, when everyone started waking up. We dropped dad off at his trailer, said our goodbyes (although he's coming up here in a couple of days for a doctor's appointment), and then we left. We ate lunch at Steak n' Shake (oh god that mocha milkshake was delicious), and then mom and Harley insisted that we stop at Priester's, so we did that, but afterwards, it was pretty much a straight shot to home.

So, pretty much, I had a lot of fun. I mean, I wanted to go to the Puppetry Museum, but it's cool. I'll live. Like I said, though, I'm just glad to be home.

. . . Also, there are many gay people in Atlanta. I was pleased. And everyone's so friendly! We were in the elevator leaving the High, and this pretty obviously gay black guy saw our souvenir bags and was just like, "Oh, did you guys go to the High? How was it?" I DON'T KNOW HOW PEOPLE DO THAT. I CAN HARDLY TALK TO PEOPLE I'VE KNOWN SINCE KINDERGARTEN. ;-;

lol kay I'm going to bed now. \o/

It's just so. . . catchy. But I seriously want to know wtf he's saying. IT'S SOME OF THE WORST ENGRISH I HAVE EVER HEARD. BUT I STILL WANNA SING ALONG.

Jacked from anionna and scones!

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. ;-;

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?

Suikoden Tierkreis. Also, Shikata Akiko. ):

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. ;-;
