Battle Royale has gotten me back into my classical music craze. I especially like Auf dem Wasser zu singen by Schubert. It’s very pretty, and whenever I hear it I get images of Chigusa and Sugimura sitting together… haha.

I’ve been looking for piano scores online, but I couldn’t find any free ones - I guess I’ll just have to go buy it sometime. Which is too bad since I haven’t played the piano since I was like 10. Hopefully it won’t go to waste. Now… where can I find a good music store? The only one I know of is in PV {and I don’t mean promotional video this time haha} and I don’t know if my mom will let me buy it - she knows I don’t know how to play the piano, but she also knows that I can figure things out easily. -SIGH- I need to be able to play it~ ;o; it’s bothering me lol.

Maybe my cousin has it from when she used to play the piano. And maybe I’ll ask her to borrow it. I never see her anymore though. Her brother Jonathan comes to church more often, so I’ll ask him if they have it. I haven’t talked to him for a while either though.. haha.

-CRY- the song is so pretty. I love it to death. You know, I think it’s going up on my next rotation. Oh yeah, this week’s rotation is up~! There’s a total of 6 songs today. Well I guess I’ll stop for now. It's kind of late..

I'll digress from my Battle Royale obsession and move on to a new topic - indies Jrock. I've been browsing around finding a lot of unknown bands lately - the benefit is that if you email them they'll probably email you back! :] I've only posted on one band's BBS before, though... Anyway, I've become quite infatuated with a certain bassist. His name is Sei, and he's in the band called "infringe on". I found them on Muzie, a Japanese amateur/indies website.



He's so cute, even though I can't see his face so well. I love his hair. It's so straight and smooth and pretty. This next picture is so dark I can hardly see him at all ._.;



Although it is small, you can see him better in this picture :]



Oh, and get this - The vocalist is a fan of Plastic Tree. :33333

This is their Muzie and this is their homepage. They only have five songs for download, but I like them. Surprisingly, nobody has posted on their BBS. I suppose I could email them. I don't know if they check their BBS, so I guess it's better to email. It's so exciting posting on a BBS for me. Especially when I see that they have responded :3 I hope I will get a response from infringe on. I wonder what I should say to them..

So. Lately I've been quite busy. And I have to say that lately I've been procrastinating a lot. It's hard to work when you don't really see the point to things. And lately some stuff has been going on, but it's kind of hard to talk about since I don't really get what exactly is going on either.

But anyway. I don't want to be depressed. SO~ Instead, I'll be talking about my {2nd} favorite subject as of late - Battle Royale cosplay! :3 {First being, of course, Battle Royale... haha.}

I'm hoping that Richard {aka Sugimura} will drive me to Sears and Office Depot this weekend. Maybe to the Galleria too? Actually, no Galleria. Because we went last week. And going this week might be too much. It's kind of a lot. I don't even know if he has his car yet. {Hopefully all this will be on Saturday, since I don't have time on Sunday. I'll be at my friend's party.}

So why would someone like me be going to Sears and Office Depot? Besides the two obvious reasons - Sears because I'm cheap like that and Office Depot because I'm nerdy like that. XD;

+ At Sears - blazer. Hopefully they still have it, and hopefully it will fit me.
+ At Sears - army-ish pants that are smaller than W30?? -sigh- Everywhere I go that's the lowest size they have.
+ At Office Depot - lanyards.
+ At Office Depot - sheet protectors.
+ At Office Depot - name cards.
+ At Office Depot - TShirt transfers. We need them to make our Wild Seven bandanas. {These things are expensive... We'll have to make it a group contribution.}

Also on the Battle Royale Cosplay To Do List...

+ Print out the map
+ Sew the pleated skirt
+ Print out the student ID
+ Print out the insta-collar for Mike
+ Wait for my metal collar to arrive :]

I'm not entirely sure if I'll finish Nobuta and Nana. It's kind of overwhelming, since this is my first time cosplaying... my first time at a con too! I need to register, but my mom told me not until I have a sure ride for all the days.

I hope it will all turn out. I need to save a lot of money... LOTS of money. Haha. And I have to convince my mom to let me take all that money to Expo. But I'll find a way. >__>;

Oh yes, speaking of Richard, I've convinced him to like Battle Royale?!? It was quite a feat. From "But but all the cute girls get blown up!" to "Let's watch the movie sometime" was kind of hard. But it wasn't impossible! Now we've actually had whole conversations about it. And he's joining our cosplay group - Sugimura Hiroki of Battle Royale 1, and Kengo of Battle Royale 2. :] At first, he was going to be the class representative - the nerdy looking one. ^^' But then he wanted to be Sugimura because he was "the cool one". He told me that he wished he could say what Sugimura says to Kotohiki and stuff - like, as he's dying, he wants to be able to say "You should run, before someone hears the shots and comes after you." Something like that.

It's cool with me and stuff, but I think he's forgetting that Sugimura was confessing his love to Kotohiki. Maybe I should let him know, because when he became Sugimura he wanted me to change from Sakaki Yuko to Kotohiki Kayoko. XDDDD

Yeah. I think I'll tell him that whenever it comes up. Otherwise if I were Kotohiki and he were Sugimura, that might be a little awkward at AX and stuff. (@x@);

Anyway, I guess being the nerd that I am, I'm obliged to talk a little bit about school. Tomorrow is Friday, which means everything is due! Math, Japanese, college papers, along with science, history, and biology as well. I have a bio test tomorrow too. -sigh- I hate procrastination.

So today was pretty alright. Yesterday was horrible though. I had lots of homework, and I was very stressed out because of my psychology test. {It turned out it wasn't even that hard!} That class is really murdering me. I think I should have just gone to 3D art with all my friends, but the AP attracted me to it. Like how a bug is attracted to a bright light, and when they reach the light bulb they get burnt to a crisp. Yep. I'm starting to really question why I wanted this in the first place. Is it worth it? According to Carle, if we get our college credits it will REALLY be worth it. But for now...

{I took this with my new digital camera from my parents for my 16th birthday! It's April 13 so it's a little early~}

Seriously, though, reading a chapter a week is harder than it looks. Plus taking notes. And flash cards. And studying all of that. And preparing for the AP exam... which is May 10! -sigh- It's killing me. Murder murder murder murder.

I miss freshman year.

I think I could be thinner if I tried.
I think I could be paler if I tried.
I think I could be a better student if I tried.

I think I could be happier if I tried.


I wish I weren't so lazy.

I thought I was dying yesterday night.
Not really but you know~
And this morning I felt horrible too.
Feeling a little better though :]
But~ I can't go to Mulligans tomorrow, and I missed out on my doctors appointment (yay? but I have to make up for it in June XD)
Hopefully everything will work out so I can go to the mall.

I need my Battle Royale skirt pattern and SOON.
And maybe a better white shirt.
And the collar and tie that Mike's ordering for me :]
And I might have to forego the blazer??
And I still have to go Soji-shopping. D:
Hmm... I need a gooooood army jacket.
And cheap too~.

There were these perfect pants at the mall even though they were $40.
But like... they only had W-30 size... and I had to hold them up to make them fit.
So too bad I guess.
They also had this cool jacket but it was like $50
Which now that I think of it probably wasn't too bad.
But it wasn't perfect. XD
And then they had~ this cool canvas bag!
I have to go to Target and look for it for cheaper. xD
Maybe Richard will drive me back to the Galleria. ;o;

We both killed ourselves on Pump yesterday.
I need to get my stamina back. XD

Wheeee.

SOOOOOOOO.

Over the past however long my mood has been eh.
Sometimes it's okay and sometimes it's not.

And sometimes it's like super dull and makes me want to sleep
A LOTTTTTT.
So I've been going to sleep earlier.
And waking up later.
And sometimes I sleep on the bus.
And sometimes I sleep right after I get home.

Mike suggested maybe I wasn't getting enough sleep before.
And now it's finally catching up to me.
Hmmmm.
Hope that's not the case because come junior year I'll DIE.
Because everyone dies junior year!
Isn't that great? :3 <<= sarcasm.

But then how can people still graduate...? XD;
Hahaha.....
You can ignore my mechakucha BIIRU logic.

***

I think my lack of sleep is giving me weird dreams.
It could also be my total obsession with BR.
Or a combination of both? XD;;

Yesterday I had a dream where I was in the Program
But the catch was you had to go to your classes at the same time.
And when it was a forbidden zone, your collar blew up instantly.
And so if the forbidden zone happened to be called on your seating assignment
Then... BOOM.
And class would go on as normal.
I got really freaked out and started asking the teacher
(after class, of course)
Why we had to do this.
And then he said something I didn't get
And I remember I was like really upset with him.
But my collar didn't blow up and I wasn't shot.
YAY! ahahah <<= partial sarcasm.

Then I had this other one
Where I was on the island
And I was thinking to myself
"Hey, that's a cliff, and we're all gonna die anyway."
"Should I jump, or no?"
I couldn't remember my weapon so that didn't really make a difference.
"I don't know...."
And by that time I was sitting at the edge of the cliff.
It must have been because I had been watching the scene
Where M21 Kazuhiko and F4 Sakura (I got the numbers right, didn't I?)
Commit suicide together?
It was just like an Asian Drama <<== half-hearted partial sarcasm.
Or maybe I was just sleep deprived.
Who knows?

This other time
I dreamt I found myself in the forest-y area of the island.
And then, I looked down and found out "Hey I have one of those collar things"
And then I was like "OMG It blinks! These things are like $80!!"
"That's so awesome! It blinks it blinks it blinks!"
And then I looked around again.
And I realized I was on an island.
So I was like "Ohhhh shooot. I'm in The Program."
"I better run before I get killed."
Hahah that one was pretty awesome. :3 <<= NOT sarcasm.

(@x@) Ready for a rant?
I'm copying and pasting from my bloggie.

Okay. Time for one of Akenon's (in)famous rants about guys and CAMS. But it's okay because in the next entry you get a rather entertaining [hopefully] rant about Battle Royale :3 Note: I'm probably going to use present tense because when I'm all "BLEH" about stuff I use present tense.

There's either someone messing with me, or they're telling the truth, and I don't know which one would be better. Maybe if they were messing with me it'd be easier? But that's what I thought last year and look what I ended up with. [If you don't know, uhhhh... I guess I can explain later.]

WHEEE. So. Ready for the story, kiddies? >D Once upon a time Akenon got a myspace! And Akenon was happy because she could easily communicate with her friends in the form of messages and comments. :3 But, one day.... Rokutanda found her myspace and asked for an add. Akenon ignored. A few months later, she got another request for an add. And she ignored. Now take it back to last Saturday - Akenon got 3 messages from Rokutanda, ignored all of them, only to get WHAT?

A PHONE CALL.

That's right, kids. A phone call from none other than Mr. Rokutanda. -____-; You can forget the 3rd person now. "Hello, Mai," he says, referring to my new myspace picture. He goes on about Battle Royale for a little while, then says something like "How have you been? How's CAMS?" and then asks the crucial question - "Why haven't you accepted my add?"

I quickly reply, "I don't check my adds." LIE. But I can't say I hate him. D:

Well, things get really awkward for me. So I say, "I have another call." Pressing the flash button does wonders. A few seconds later I press the flash button again, and say "I have to go, bye" and hang up before he has time to say too much more than "Accept my add~"

I come back online and he IM's me. On my private SN. So there's two things here:
1. Why does he still have my phone number after 3 years? Answer: Because he's a stalker. Duh.
2. How'd he get my screen name? Answer: The way any good stalker does - browsing through as many websites that he can before he finds my address OR just hacking. Either one's possible.

---

After pleading with Mike [sophomore, not junior] a bit, I found out who Mr. 5 was. Came as quite a shock. I can't imagine him liking ANYONE, let alone me. I guess things just happen. At least he doesn't like me anymore? :3

So, after that. Lien starts asking me online if I like anyone at school. [She told me before there was someone who liked me] I say no, and she asks what I like in a guy. It's really confusing. So I say, "I like... JRockers?" Lien responds, "So you like Japanese guys?" I laugh. And I type out my laughter. She says, "Okay. Got it." And she still won't tell me who it is because I don't like anyone at school. Just great.

---

So I'm at school on Tuesday ditching AP Study Sessions [I had a headache and didnt' feel like being inside x.x] and I find Michelle. I start complaining about Rokutanda, and she agrees that he's creepy. We talk about Daikon. And she agrees it's creepy. Then she casually mentions, "There's a lot of guys who like you." OMG? And I list off my polygon and she was like "Oh," or "I know him," or the occasional, "Wow that's weird." So I say about what Lien told me.... she says, "Oh, I think I know who it is." So of course, "Who is it?"

"I can't tell you." Adriana starts asking questions to try to figure it out - And all that we get from it is - He either white or Hispanic. And.... that he's not a creep and he's "pretty cool". So that was that. Adriana left and we went back to talking about JRock. :3

---

This is getting long. Well, the next Thursday, I was in the locker room for PE and Bob [Mary] asks, "Hey Alina do you like anyone at CAMS?" Oh my gosh that's like the 3rd time I've been asked in the week, I think. I reply "No, I don't like guys at school." She says, "Oh. Well, a LOT of guys like you, Alina." OMG? x2?

"Who?"

"I can't tell you."

I say, "I think I know some of them."

I list off Daikon and Mr 5 and Lime. Bob agrees with me that they like me, says it's cute, and grins. But I say Mr. 5 doesn't like me anymore, and that Mike told me, and says that she'd trust his judgement. I say that I don't know if Lime was serious or if I should believe him, and she says I should believe him.

She won't tell me anything else, except when I ask "I don't get why they like me~(?)" she replies, "It's because you're Alina. Just like how I'm Bob. But more people like you than they like me."

OMG? x3?

Andddd. That's all.

---

Oh yeah, Boyo's my "bodyguard" but I never see him so I don't know how he'd go about doing that. XDDDD I think he wants to like hunt down my stalkers. I feel like running into them with a bicycle [like this]

Life's complicated, isn't it?
