   Beware of Jrockers with Katanas...

bleh i'm bad with titles xD

Hmm... i just finished watching the music video Angel by Shin Hwa... it's really sad and kind of depressing, but also it's

really confusing... i guess it's because i don't know korean ^^;

today was alright i guess. i have lots of stuff due tomorrow... but i finished most of it so it's ok... of course, we're not

really that far into the school year so... i wouldn't know...

but i do know that by the end of the year (as in the end of 2004) i will no longer have a life. my entire existence will

revolve around school and homework and projects and tests...

and this is freshman year, the easiest year in high school. x_X;;

i think maybe high school is the cause of all these weird dreams... take the one i had last night for example.

in the dream, my friend from dA was in high school with me (well currently he's in college but in america he would still be

considered a high school student). so even though we didn't have the same core classes, i think we ended up in some elective

together. so our teacher comes in and he looks exactly like mana! and the rest of the class, not used to jrock was kind of

scared... ^^; right... well later we were at lunch and there was a notice that we should all go to the gym because there was

some murderer on campus. and who was the murderer? none other than gackt. however we found out i'm not sure, but we stayed

outside to meet gackt and we did... and then gackt and my friend started talking to each other (in english) and i noticed he

had a katana with him. and then i forgot what happened except i ended up taking the bus home and gackt killed a girl in my

class x_X

ja, mata.

COMMENT RESPONSE (moving to bottom just because i feel like it...):

Lacus Clyne: oooh tmr ^_^ i think i have that on a cd...

skakujou: wow you're lucky that your bus has only broken down once...

Takhisis: aww... hyde and gackt don't act well? oh well i guess it's ok... i'll watch it just so i can see them then

^^;

DemonMessiah: hm... there are lots of variations... is it possible that the name was something like yam-yam? or

something to that effect... ^^; or maybe it was a korean brand of pocky...? (forgot what that one was called) as for the

geometry... wow you're smart! ^_^

Nikorasu: i have to agree with you on that one. there are so many good anime songs... ^^

...wednesdays...

first i'll respond to the comments:

God_of_Death: bleh, you cheated. oh well, like you said, so what. ^^;

Kei-chan: ooh i want to go to a sushi bar! haha... sushi is expensive, tho, i would end up spending all of my money!! x_x

DemonMessiah: o_o; you don't know what pocky is? aw that's ok, but it's really good... if you ever get the chance you should try it ^^ pocky is basically... a long cracker that looks like a really thin stick with chocolate on top. but sometimes it's not chocolate, it can also be strawberry flavored, or milk type, some have almonds in it, i think there's even a pumpkin pocky! xD but i've never tried that one... i recommend the original, but the marble type is good too... go here for an example: http://www.alde.com/anime/pocky1.html *drool* it's so good... as for the movie, i'm pretty sure it's not inuyasha... it's some film festival downtown so... ^^; and nothing to say really about the xanga... or the probability (except that if i have to hear how hard it is one more time i'm going to die because it probably means we know more than the teacher does x_x;)

mega-matt: yeah it was cool because gackt was happy!

takhisis: ^^ thanks...

dark moon fox: haha yeah pocky is the best, isn't it? ^^; heh glad you don't mind the long posts they might stay that way for a while...

nikorasu: Princess Mononoke in HISTORY? wow you're lucky...

---

right then. Today was kind of stupid... the classes were ok, but the bus ride back home was kind of... interesting. around 10 minutes from the pickup location, the bus pulled over. and then we learned that the bus kind of broke down. but then ten minutes later we got started again. then about 5 minutes away from the bus pickup/drop off location, we got stuck waiting for a train to pass. so i got home late, and thus finished my homework late.

at least i had my hyde cd to listen to! ^^

well after a month and a half of being in school, i am sorry to say that...

there are no jrock fans at this school

well i'll admit that jrock isn't one of the most popular forms of music at the school i would have been going to, this school has never heard of any of the jrockers. not even gackt! (-_-'') i can't talk about music to ANYONE at all. well some guy knows a few but he doesn't really talk to me so... v_v''

however... there are a lot of naruto fans ^^

and i just found out yesterday... for christmas my friend is going to buy me moon child! and since it's out for regular prices i don't have to worry that she's going to spend $60 on it. i think you can buy it at most video stores for like $20 since the released it in the u.s. i can't wait to see hyde and gackt act together... the movie looks so good and all the reviewers seem to have liked it... no to mention that song that they sing together... ^^

finally... a poll for all of you:

what is your favorite anime song and why?

please include:
title
artist
anime

mine at the moment is sink by plastic tree for kindaichi because i am obsessed with them. haha. no it's a really pretty song. makes me feel kind of nostalgic for some reason, i have no clue why... *sigh*

when i get the time i will put up the random vocabulary we're learning in japanese.

stuf like ice, street, blue, red, balloon, doctor, big, small, school, high school, expensive, student, meat, teacher... yeah. random stuff. but probably because when we learned it we had limited hiragana skills, so we could only write so much at a time... but now that we know it all it sounds pretty stupid to be learning all this random stuff... who knows, maybe it will come in to good use sometime...

ja mata

   ...maybe tuesdays aren't so bad...

first i'll start out with the dream i had. it was fun and i woke up really happy. ^^

it started out where i was at this really big table with all these jrockers and anime characters there ^^ so like... gackt, miyavi, shinya, mana, aya (psycho le cemu), luka and luel (under the glass moon), ororon, count d, fuwa (kagerou nostalgia), kyou (furuba), kaine

and i won't continue because it's a big list -_-''

but anyway someone decides that they want to kill miyavi!! i believe it was luka... o_o;; and i was like "no don't kill miyavi!!" so luka and i got into a fight... using... pocky sticks...

big, giant, pointed pocky sticks!!

whee fun. i was having a hard time resisting the urge to eat them. but they were pretty useful. luka accidentally stabbed fuwa in the shoulder (like what happened to fuwa in the first book ^^;) and i was like... "aww now i can't eat the pocky!" haha...

well luka was kind of realizing that he wasn't good at fighting with pocky either and so he got a sword instead... and then he chopped up my pocky into little pocky-cakes!! "yay i want pocky!!" but luka was like... "no i have to kill you because you won't let me kill miyavi" "aww... no pocky?" (yes i was more concerned about the pocky than the fact that luka wanted to kill me... ^^;)

ororon has been watching all this time. actually everyone else has. but ororon has been getting especially annoyed. so he goes and kills me with his black flame. wow that was fun!! i wish it could happen in real life... even though it would hurt a lot... but it was cool. ororon is cool, dying because he kills you would be like having haido (hyde for those of you who don't understand that...) stab you to death, like it said in my quiz ^^

and gackt tried to help ororon kill me with the black flame but ended up kind of... getting the side of his face burned ;_; but at least he was happy that i was dead! (yay i made gackt happy! so even though i was dead i was happy too!)

haha... at least q-chan cared that i was dead, poor q-chan...

---

well today was a better day, we kind of fixed the powerpoint during my computer apps class which was ok since we never do anything in that class.

p.e. was kind of hard and now my legs are sore but i guess maybe i can lose some weight from it! i want to get to a size double zero by the end of the year... and right now i'm inbetween a zero and a one... so hopefully the 4 sets of lunges we did today will get my legs thinner! ^^;

math was stupid, our teacher always says things are hard and in fact they are SO easy. seriously. i think i could have done these problems 3 years ago. and i'm not exaggerating. and i thought this was supposed to be a 'smart school' like they all say... but probablility really isn't that hard... and he claims that it is... which kind of bothers me... ^^;

we watched a movie in study skills... that'a about all...

computer apps was BORING but at least i could work on my powerpoint for engineering

---

oh i forgot to mention that my japanese class is going to go see an anime movie for a field trip in december!! i can't wait to find out which one it is... it will be so fun...

---

wow my entries are getting really long. i think i write in myOtaku more than my xanga or my deviantART o_o;; but that's a good thing because i like myO, i can really talk about things without having to worry about people i know worrying about me (like on xanga) or my friend to get really worried about me (on dA)

well i really hope i didn't bore you with my long post, if you've made it this far...

THANKS FOR READING!!
and i hope you didn't cheat by just scrolling down to this part -_-''

i'm going to sleep now because i'm still catching up on lost hours of sleep!!

   i hate mondays...

right... i said i was glad it was a monday. i take it back, i HATE mondays now. but then again, who said i like any of the days of the week? today was supposed to be our presentation for engineering about orbital mechanics. there was supposed to be a powerpoint presentation with it. so we uploaded it and edited during lunch in the computer labs, and we ran out of time for that one group member's work (the one who didn't do anything)! as if that wasn't bad enough, when we got to class it wouldn't upload to the main computer that we had to use and so we couldn't present. now we have to get it fixed by friday or we won't get points for the powerpoint part of the grade! x_x;; if i fail this project i will DIE. i'm serious. i've never failed anything in my life. i'm not used to getting under an A. 100% is what i expect of myself, sometimes more... and let's just say that anything under a 95% makes me want someone to shoot me in the head.

on the plus side, i got my quiz back from that class with a good grade... 23 out of 20, which means i survived that one. in that class i am top in the class besides one of my friends, who has the exact same score as me! *must pull grade up higher! xD* i'm getting a 97.1% in english... so barely surviving that one i guess. and then in study skills... 104%, but i'm ranked 9th in the class so i'm still kind of disappointed. math and science... i don't know because grades aren't posted in those classes. i think i'm doing fine in japanese... and computer apps i have no clue since we never do ANYTHING. and then i have no clue in p.e. either ^^;

my parents honestly don't care about me getting straight a's and all that... (even though i'm asian xD) they say things like "as long as you're doing your best and you're not getting an F, i'll be happy with you"... so i wonder why i always stress myself over A-'s... maybe it will help me get through high school, i dont' know... hopefully it will get me a scholarship because i don't have enough money to go to a really good college without one...

also on the plus side, i think my mom approves of plastic tree! ^_^ i let her listen to one of the songs... i believe it was sink or something, and she was like "oh, that's a pretty song" or whatever. i know she likes it a lot more than hyde anyway xD

anyone who knows me well knows i have really bloody dreams. not necessarily bloodly, maybe just violent. i can't find the right word for it. but i think ever since 7th grade in my dreams someone always dies. someone usually being me. or maybe i kill someone. or maybe everyone dies. but somehow someone always dies. and recently i have been having some dreams about my friend who i have been talking about lately. i actually had one of him and me going to the japanese store and no one dies! guess it's not much of an accomplishment but still it's kind of cool... but then i had this one about a week ago, where we went to the japanese store again and someone killed me with a katana because i got the gackt photobook before they did xD but he barely noticed and kind of just left me there with blood all over the floor and everything. and then the store manager got mad at me because there was blood on one of the books x_X;; i've also recently been having dreams about my funeral. and half the people there are glad i'm dead. and then about a quarter are indifferent, an eighth were dragged there because they were family or whatever.

is this some sort of strange psychological thing? do i think somewhere in the back of my mind that nobody cares about me and they want me dead? or is this a result of too much work and stressing myself out too much? (really i don't really care that much, i'm just curious... well you don't really have to answer if you don't want to ^^;)

bleh i'm tired... so i'm going to go get some sleep to make up for the hours i lost over the weekend. jaa, mata.

Since you asked...

wow i might actually make it to #500 within my lifetime... o_o;;

hmm... a lot of you seemed to be wondering what made my day so bad... so i guess i should tell you now. actually it wasn't just that day it was pretty much the entire weekend. i'm actually glad that it's going to be a monday... o_O;;

so i'll start with friday:
friday started out ok... went to school, joined the clubs, whatever... then my parents got mad at me for a reason i don't feel like talking about (so don't ask) and i had to stay home instead of go see my friends. but that turned out for the better because....

i dont' know if i mentioned my orbital mechanics project but it's a group project where we all work on different parts and then are graded as a whole. so i got a call friday night and found out that one of my group members didn't have ANYTHING on her part of the project done. so then we all had to go look it up for her just so we could get a passing grade. which took up most of the night so... on to the next day i guess.

saturday:
worked MORE on orbital mechanics, then i went to the library to meet my group, where they got lost or late or whatever and thus were 15 minutes late... we got a little done but we had to work on powerpoint and print some stuff out... guess what? the library makes you pay for all that stuff. $3 per hour for using the computer (which means for a dollar you can get 20 minutes ._.) and for each page that you want to print it costs $0.15... i had a dollar so i bought one of the cards you needed to do this stuff, and it gave me a card worth $0.50... u_u;; we ran out of money before we could save it to the floppy disk xD

then i went home and found out my relatives were coming over, which wouldn't give me any time to work. and we had to go out to dinner and i gained a pound xD (but that's just random so never mind) i got another phone call from a group member and found out that i had to go look up MORE stuff for that group member who didn't do anything and i did... which took me too long so my mom got mad at me because i think i'm getting sick and she knows it.

Today:
today wasn't nearly as bad; went to church, which acted as a major stress reliever, and then went to my school to finish up. we did but i don't think anyone in my group actually knows their information, which just might cause a problem when we present tomorrow.

right... well i guess it wasn't too bad than i think it was... sure i panicked and thought i would die of a heart attack or whatever, but... you know, i guess it could be worse...

i really wish i could have talked to my friend this weekend, especialy since he's not depressed anymore... he's always able to make me not stressed and a lot happier and whatever... but he was really busy this weekend and he couldn't get on for too long and i always missed him by like 20 minutes XD i'll try for next weekend i guess. *sigh*

well today was stupid. but i won't get into that. my quiz was ok tho...

the day started out ok, at school i joined 3 clubs! gamers club, anime club, and art club.

Gamers club: you go in at lunch on wednesdays and play video games. very simple ^^

Anime club: you go in at lunch and watch anime. also very simple. and less effort even o_O;;

Art club: each month there is a theme that you try to draw and/or paint (if you can't that's ok) and at some point in the school year there is an auction so you can actually make money off of your work! wow, i home my drawings become worth something... ^^;

If you want to see about the title, you can skip all this school stuff.

Today: bus was fine, but there were two dead flies in the window yesterday that almost fell on me... o_o;; so i sat somewhere else today

p.e. was kind of weird... line dancing. math was ok. study skills was normal. and then in computer apps... so boring.

but i do get to meet some people there i guess.

a big test tomorrow in engineering tomorrow o_o;;

after school: tutoring. 3 students today but it made the time go by faster. and now i have 3 1/2 hours of service done! ^^

---

my mom seriously said that to me. i told her "can i go to the store to get gackt's the 6th day? it's on sale for regular price..." and she looked at me kind of funny and said "what is a gackt?" o_o;; my mom knows NOTHING about jrock.

so i went online and showed her a song that wasn't really that visual kei style (because she really hates that kind of stuff -_-;;) and then i showed a picture of him looking pretty normal and she told me "i don't want you to get that cd"

grr. she hates all jrock, she doesn't even like laruku and they're realatively normal compared to like... dir en grey.

and recently i have had this obsession with plastic tree. so i asked her "for christmas can i have plastic tree's 'cell.'? or maybe a different one..." and she asked "why do you want a plastic tree? what about a real one?"

>__>;;

i'm almost to 500 hits.

   Japanese Lesson 5!!

today was a much better day (and i'm talking about the 22nd, even though it says the 23rd on the post ^^;). to start off... the bus was on time! heh

and also when i came home my friend told me that he was feeling much better! ^^ which made me so much happier and less stressed out, even though i probably should be worried about this one thing... but i don't think i will be talking about that. ^_^;;

lately i've been experimenting with realism, but i find both anime and realism challenging ^^; but i guess if it wasn't challenging then anyone could sell their work for millions of dollars xD i drew a picture of mana-sama in my planner realistically, i'll try to get it scanned once i fix the scanner.

i wonder if i'm going to become one of those "i used to do anime but now i'm starting to like realism" people who draw amazing pictures of gackt or mana or miyavi... if you've ever browsed the deviantART digital paintings/airbrushing portraits section you'll know what i mean. but no, you have to be extremely talented to do that so i don't think i'll be like one of those people -_-U

We had an entirely different set of subjects today, so that was good too. and i have some japanese for you after like 3 weeks of not having any of my lessons posted.

This, That, and That Over There

To refer to something as "this" (or something close to you) say "Kore"

To refer to something as "that" (something semi-far away from you) say "Sore"

To refer to something as "that over there" (something far away from both you and the person you are talking to) say "Are"

Pronounciation:

Kore - Kohreh (although the r is a kind of strange letter in the japanese language...)

Sore - Sohreh

Are - Ahreh

EXAMPLE
"What do you call this in Japanese?"
Kore wa nihongode nanto iimasuka?

*you can replace sore with are or sore, or something from the english language ("love" wa...)

To answer:
--- to iimasu.
meaning: "it's called ---"

...heh...

EDIT: got rid of some of it, seemed kind of pointless to leave it in there...

today was one of those days when i come home and think to myself...

"i think i'll get hundreds of apples and take the seeds out, crush them up and drink it! why? because apple seeds contain cyanide! hahahaha"

now really my day wasn't that bad, but i think school is driving me insane.

the day started well enough, got yelled at again for playing laruku too loudly xD

and then i got to where i had to wait for the bus. we noticed that the bus seemed a little late, and then one of the seniors came and told us, "the bus broke down around the corner... you should go call your parents." which was VERY convienent since my dad was at work and my mom was taking my sister to school. so then this guy in my class offers me a ride with his parents because he lives right down the street. and we walk down towards his house, get to the end of the street, and hear someone calling us. the bus is back. so we have to come running back so we don't miss the bus.

after that classes, but that's kind of boring...

then, i get on the bus to go home... which is ok... and after that i have to go to the library to tutor kids for service hours. which wouldn't be so bad if there were actually kids there. basically we (me 2 sophmores and a senior) sat around doing nothing waiting for some kids to ask for help.

after that: checked my messages and find out my friend is depressed again.
