   Hola! Hallo! Hi! Bonjour! Konnichi wa! *And

There is this black woman (Musings of A Diva) on wordpress.com who is married to this Japanese man, and they both live in Japan. In her posts, she talks about different things and issues that go on in her life while being in Japan. I find it interesting in one of her posts when she talks about "mixed cultures" when it comes to interracial marriages. She discusses in another post about how the racism in Japan is there, but there isn't a lot or is subtle ("...violent, like it is here in America" -my mom) from her experience (which is that she has yet to experience a lot of racism). She said that she's experienced "more hospitality than hostility." She also said that this doesn't mean black people should go "look" for rasicm, because we've become a sort of "look-out" for racism or have this expectation. Anyways, if you'd like to read her blog, here's the link: Musings Of A Diva... Makes me wanna go to Japan now and post lots of things of my experiences from there here on theO. XD! =D Which is funner (or a different emotion/feeling) to play? A Guitar or a Piano? R A W R~ My moms computer blew up! (Not literally but it made noises). The Mother Board thingy doesn't work and it only lasted a couple months... So now we have to use my dads 2nd laptop. It sucks, cuz this laptop has Internet issues. Sometimes it works, sometimes it keeps reconnecting, and sometimes it kicks us off the Internet. But yeah... Now I'm waiting for my dad to come back from Texas so I can steal his other laptop... Happy Days. . .

   The 2 week Academy. . .

For the past 2 days I've been feeling like ...ugh... This Academy at my future High School is going on so that 9th graders know what to expect from High School. I think the thing I'll hate most about it is PE (I never liked it anyway and HS PE is just something I hate). Everyday (except for weekends) we run for 10 minutes around the inside perimeter of the gym, do some streches, 25 crunches, 10 push ups, and then we run up the stairs near the gym around the pole and down the stairs 5 times. yesterday i onl did 4, but i started earlier than others so i got to all 5. After that I'm hot sweaty and tired and we get rackets and tennis balls to play tennis. I suck at it. When ever I serve, I either hit to hard, or when I'm hitting softer, it still hits the beyond the line. yesterday I made it over the fence. Today I did it again, but the fence was shorter... *Bad aim* I had to stand 2.5 to 3 feet away from the line that I'm supposed to be on so that the ball would at least be reachable, but the ball still goes too close to the out-of-bounds line... Playing tennis reminded me of The Prince Of Tennis... but i'm not like Ryoma... We have a tournamnet tomorrow *not like a real one* and my partner says that we're the "Almost" Team. We ALMOST served the ball right We ALMOST hit the ball right We ALMOST played Tennis right ... It suits us well... R A W R~ I could sleep for the rest of the day if I wanted to because of this Academy Summer School thingy, but I can't... I must watch my shows, like Last Exile... . . .

   MARKERS!!! XD!

I got some markers on tuesday and they seem to be working just great. I wanted Copic markers, but i only know two places that have some. Some individual ones where I can get them directly are at the mall in Unique Anime, but the last time I saw the markers, they didn't have a wide selection of them. The 2nd source is the internet. the delete thingy. the one with the black cat on the ink pen. but i dont wanna order anything off line and have to wait. i hate waiting. i get butterflies and anxious. but yeah. I got a 12 pack with a bonus marker with it that was 42.99 but I had a 50% coupon so it was cheaper. I went online to find out how they were supposed to be used which i should have done be4 hand. they are horrible on regular computer paper but are best on Smooth Bristol paper. and they are. I had no idea what the white marker was for but found out it was used for making colors lighter which is REALLY helpful. I was happy to kno that all this time w/o really knowing it that I had a waterproof inking pen, becuz non-waterproof, or permanent pens will be ruined on the paper from the markers... so said the dude who wrote about it on Deviant Art... but I still want copic markers. ... im too poor now to get them. TT_TT oh poo... but yeah... coloed pencils are not for me... ima learn how to use markers now... R A W R~ I wanna try coloring this FMA pic I found where ed and al look to *drool* awesome. XD! but I'm scared cuz i don't think i have the right colors. . . .

It's 12 am! *i smell wine* -_-

I'm my just clipped a toenail (which I know is so nasty to the majority of you) and my littlest brother whiped his face cuz the toenail flew... She's telling me not to put this here, but I have to start the post off with something... I'm working on a story now that I think I'm okay with. It's called "Oh Sweet Angel" but I'm gonna rename it cuz it sounds like "Oh! My Godess"... me no knows... I'm not gonna get into too much detail with it cuz I don't know if I'll stick with it... i never do... I just got finished watching something called "The trial of Micheal Johnson" I think. Something about Micheal Johnson, but it had to do with him supposedly killing someone and being on death road. Him and a friend had been riding in a (stolen *i think*) car and were on the highway when they realized they needed gas. They pull up to a gas station and get some gas... there's a man by the pump who works there and supposedly Micheal J. shots the man (killing him) and drives away. This christian lady was the wife of the man killed and said that once M.J. was dead she would be saticfied or something about Justice being served. Isn't against some christian thingy that u arent supposed to wish death upon somebody else? She made me mad. I don't like ppl like that. MJ's mother or sister (sum1) said that killing another person for killing isn't right (that was the sister) and something else i think. (I have bad memory... horrible memory... as soon as i get off the phine with sum one and another person askes me what the person one the phone said, I cant ever seem to tell them because i forget...) I agree with the sister of Micheal Johnson. Two wrongs don't make right, so say some person who made that saying... but it cant be helped because in some point of our lives we want to get back at someone for doing us wrong. In the end MJ killed himself the day be4 his execution and wrote in hos own blood "I didn't do it." It reminds me of the story about a man who was put in jail a long long time ago for commiting a crime he didn't commit. He said that to prove his innocence he would leave a hand print in his cell and swore that if it remained there it proved his innocence, which it did. but i don't know if that story is really true, but if t is, i think that is cool and creepy at the same time. XD! Anyways, they give inmates on death road a last meal before thay are "executed" and MJ refused it saying it was like laughing in his face. "You're going to die so why not eat your last meal?" I can understand why he did that. To prevent any suicide attempts they would check on MJ every 15 minutes which is pretty stupid of them because you can kill yourself within 15 minutes... basically in his mind, he wasn't about to be "murdered" by someone when he is innocent so he did it w/his own hands, which was "the honorable" in the sisters opinion. Basically what I wanted to get to was this: Do You Believe In The Death Penalty? yeah... my mom says that she doesn't really believe in it. ... R A W R~ donuts. . .

   A. Sachs and Elton John (that name is so familiar...)

"Death is more universal than life; Everyone dies, but not everyone lives." --A. Sachs Now that I think about it, Death is more "universal". . . "There's nothing wrong with going to bed with somebody of your own sex. People should be very free with sex- they should draw the line at goats." -- Elton John I thought tha quote was so funny. I asked my friend how people could even do that? O.o I asked my mom why people do that... nasty... R A W R~ Poor qoat...

   Who Vacuums their pet?

*XD! Tuesday cuz I know they'll say its wendsday* So after about a week of wanting to clean my room I actually did it... yay me... It was the messiest room i've ever been in... I counted 22 of these weird lookin' bugs... I killed 21 of 'em. The 22nd is hidin' in me closest. >:( *but they aren't as bad a cockroaches...* But yeah, while I was cleaning my room, my mom got this bright idea (that I think actually worked) to vacuum our black lab. He's got fleas and the Flea Collar isn't helpin' much, but that's cuz we just got it. Shadow's scared of the vacuum cleaner, the fan,and the broom. But I thought it was so funny and cute that at first he was reluctant to get Vacuumed, but then got real relaxed. So yay. I have a room that should have way less fleas. They're like really tiny scary vampires that are hella sticky and I love to kill 'em in bleach... not that bleach is needed but for some reason it seems to work for me even though all I need it water to drown 'em... >> R A W R~ Dyonysius... I like that name...

   ... *sniff* ...

So today (friday...) the Comcast man came to fix our digital Cable cuz we couldn't get onDemand (and I was watching shows all day when he was done). He said the problem was that some cable was doing something to prevent us from getting OnDemand, and said that one of our 4 TVs wouldn't have cable in one of our rooms. Guess who doesn't have any channels in her room now? >:( I'm so pissed off now... grrr. At least I have my shows on OnDemand back and now the Living Room belongs to me. XD! I claimed it! R A W R~ Azumanga Daioh is so funny and DiGiCharat is so cute!. . .

   Ohmygawd... T_T

I am so friggin tired of hearing about this whole Paris Hilton BS. Who gives a dam if she's in jail? I can understand about what they were saying about her having special treatment and so she got out of prison early (then she was put back in). But even so, she's just like you and me. A regular human being. I'd say that there is nothing special about her but we all have that "something" that makes us special in some way... I'm just saying that more people are concerned more about drama that doesnt really exist than what really needs to be taken into account. What about Darfur, Sudan in Africa? My ALP class had been doing some research on it since it was related to the Holocaust and our essential question: Could the holocaust happen again? We wrote letters to the senators, but I think it was a bit fake, because alot of people got theirs back (including me) "signed" by Adam Smith. They all said the same thing. Not alot of poeple got more than one in my ALP class. (I have no idea what ALP stands for but it started because the schools test scores were low I guess. My class is a mixture of 8th and 7th grades in Advance Reading... i dont think I was very advanced though...) Anyways, I could undstand why they did that seeing as how we did the same thing and only about 2 or 3 of us put our poems in the letters to the senators we were assigned (10 each). I like the letter I got though because it looks really nice and blues and confubbling (confuzing). Then a couple months later they come with songs about Darfur and things like that... People knew about Darfur before but didnt do anything about it because they couldnt confirm that the killings there were a type of Genocide. The day before the last day of school which was last week on Thursday, I made a pie chart. I was inspired to make my pie by someone making a pie of their own called the "Peace Sign." She wrote "Make Love not War" ... Hippie... (J/K. Calling people who want peace instead of war is great! Thats just what sum ppl would call her. Probably not. I wouldnt... ...) Anyways, if I made another one I would show you... but my camera's batteries practicaly dead. So we'll do it this way: "Peace" in the world This is not based off of anything (duh) and it is not what I think is actually going on in the world. Just an example of what I think of it... War, Evil, Violence, etc.~ 65% People who want to help the world~ 10% People who actually do something to help the world~ 20% Ignorant People (they know EVERYTHING when they don't or people who just dont care or 'other')~5% The World~ 100% so yeah... This is really long, but thats what was bugging me... R A W R~ Desire "There is no calamity greater than lavish desires. There is no greater guilt than discontentment. And there is no greater disaster than greed." ---Lao-tzu
