Listening to: "Little Drummer Boy" - Joan Jett and the BlackheartsWhoops, didn't mean to disappear on y'all like that. I've been swamped w/ school work. The last week of classes was bad for me. So many tests and papers, and I got sick on top of that! On the bright side, I only have 2 exams, a paper, and a Japanese oral exam that's not supposed to count towards our grade. The little free time I did have last week was spent watching all of Paradise Kiss. OMG, that's an awesome series! Now I want to get all the manga. The ending is somewhat of a downer, but it's realistic, which is nice for a shoujo series. There are some really funny moments too.
I'm officially in the holiday mood now. Yesterday was both the Baker holiday party and Amanda and her roommates' party. There was a gingerbread house contest, and Katy got the idea to do Stonehenge. Then she, Daniela, and I ran w/ the idea and made druids, gods, and a human sacrifice. Everyone thought we had lost our minds, but my argument is that as the pagan representative here, I can have a sense of humor (even though I'm not a druid). You gotta give props to the old religions from which a lot of Christmas traditions originate. We didn't win, but that's okay. At the Upper 5th party (where Amanda lives), there was ton of food. At one point I wound sandwiched (and I do mean sandwiched) between Rob and David. Both guys love teasing me to death.. After we were partied out, it was roommate gift exchange time. I got a scarf from Becky and the Nutty Professor DVD from Katy. Alas, the fun is over...or is it just beginning? In any case, my little break is over.
Quote of the day: (from Paradise Kiss
George - "Friendly enough for you?"
Yukari - "You call that friendly?! That's not nearly enough to satisfy me!"
George - "Don't think the world revolves around you. I'll make you so in love with me...that every time our lips touch, you'll die a little death."
(I hope I never meet someone like George b/c he will be the end of me.)
