NOT PULL OFF TWENTY, PULL OFF *THE* TWENTIES. AS IN "CIRCA 1920".

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Okay, so I had the French assistant again this week. Actually, I'm just back from that class. I learned how to say 'wig': 'perruque', which is a rocking word. And I remembered how to say gloves (only the way I saw the picture, I thought she was holding tissues....)
Okay so: Elles sont portes les perruqes de l'orange, parce qu'elles vont aller un boum en Amsterdam.
Make any sense?

Alrighty. So me and my friend are introducing the European day of languages next week. Woo. I don't know if they have a special day in the States, but give us a bell if you do... Actually, last year I went with Chiara to tech to celebrate the loveliness that is language. I got a lot of cheese. And watched greek dancers. It was a lot of fun, because there were these cool little stalls full of continental knick-knacks and whatnot. I had a good time.

Well, I'm FINALLY going to see CHiara today, after school, when we go to see You, Me and Dupree in the cinema. I found my skinny jeans especially for the occasion.

Grr. Why do all the guys I fancy have to be gay or involved?? Or both???

AH well.

I'm going to read.

Well, it's a half day in school today. Aha, you might say, that's jolly good. Nope. I have to go back again tonight to sing with the choir at the prize distribution ceremony. Yay. Well, it's not all bad. My friend is getting three prizes for...French? And...Biology, maybe? I can't remember the other one. Probably music.

My friend gave me a picture she drew. It's amazing. It really is. She says she can't draw, but she can. She's better than I am. I'm not a proper artist, but I can draw just fine. Not doing art was one of the biggest mistakes of my life. I cried last night just thinking about it.

Well, Chiara is back from Italy. Wooo!!!

I was told yesterdays that I could pull the twenties off thanks to my "facial structure" or something like that. I have no idea what they're talking about. Matty put a hat on my head and the shop assistant said that to me and I'm all like "thanks" but I don't really beleive her.

Isn't it tiring when you work really, really hard for a purpose and yet someone else is always better. I mean, what the same pattern emerges year after year, time after time? Sometimes, just sometimes, I feel like that. Like, "what's the point." You see, people like me are pretty invisible. That's why I like to write: it's the only medium I have that can make people pay attention. I mightn't have anything particular urgent to say, but it's nice that you guys come and actually read what I've put.

YOU ALL DESERVE CAKES AND COOKIES, or whatever you like.

Pourquoi le francais si difficile????

But one of these days, in the future...way in the future...I will be fluent. After all, my exam isn't expecting me to be fluent this year. I'm supposed to speak a high level of French, of course, but only enough that's appropriate to my level of study, yeah? So I'm not too freaked just yet.

Actually, I'm more worried about government and politics.

And I've decided: I'm not ugly.

   Wow.
Who knew. Morbo is a french speaker - or at least a writer.

Lol.

Well I had keyskills this morning, and I swear that the blasted machine is out to get me. The simplest of instructions went awry, and the teacher must think I'm SUCH an idiot.

Well I've got a good idea for a short story, with the potential of further developement into a novel. Haha. I started the first draft last night. Sure, it needs a helluva lot of work, but we'll get there, me and me.

It was fun today in english. We were working on tableuax. I was all like "oh my gosh" because I was working wtih some girl who loves to take over stuff, and doesn't listen to anyone else. Well today she wasn't really like that and I managed to get my two cents worth in.

Well I gotta go get lunch.

I have to open an account in the post office, says my dad, and I don't know how long it will take because, let's face it, I am a fool. It's for my Italian fund. I've almost got eighty pounds in the pot for it, which is phenomenal money making brilliance on my part - brilliant, because I don't have any work so HA in your face.

I'm hungry.

Well I met my friend Kieran the other day, and he's pretty cool. Hoho. He was all "let's go to Tokyo" and I was all like "SURE, and let's bring Chiara and Darius also!" (Well, they were the ones who first had the idea, as far as I'm thinking, though Kieran doesn't know this, he's never met them).

TOMATO SOUP!!!!

Kudos to Morbo for reminding my to buy NEO soon. I wrote a letter to them. Actually, Morbo take a looksie and see if there's one there by Emma - Hellsing is mentioned near the bottom of it. Mais oui...

Okay, I'm on a free period now. I had the language assistant last period, which was embarrasing. Actually, as time went by I sort of managed to get the swing of things. I'm sure she must be cringing every time I speak with my weird Franglais accent, but at least she sort of gets what I'm trying to say...which can't be that bad. I'm in with two other girls, one really chatty and the other just a little bit more outgoing than me. I'm sort of the blushing redhead in the middle...
We're getting the rare (perhaps somewhat dubious) treat of hearing French chart toppers next week. Woo.

You know you'd turn gay for John John...I only got compared to him because apparantly I was all flambouyant - playing about twenty characters at once. I was an art critic who was smoking some unindentifiable drug...not just nicotine, I kid thee not...and I was all like smiling big and letting my eyes glaze. I didn't warn the girl I was acting with, so she got a little freaked out...mais oui.

Here goes:
Je voudrais être une journaliste, peut-être habiter en Paris, ou Japon. C'est mon rêve devinir un francophone. Il y a cinq ou six ans j'apprends le français, et je crois que cet langage et trés jolie. Dans le futur, français sera trés utile pour le travaill au le journaliste - pour les voyages, par example.

J'espre que tu es tes familles sont bon!

Yo. I'm reading Twilight by Stephanie Meyer, which rocks. Anyone else reading it? I want Edward Cullen for my very own...

Okay.
There is so much I want to make fun of right now!!! The PM, the French! The intoxicated and, the piéce de resistance, ART CRITICS!!!!

Haha, I got compared to JOhnny Depp the other day. It was a confidence boost and a half - you know, apart from the whole...male...thing. But the guy is a good actor, so it's all good.
I was playing a high art critic, so it might not be too favourable to him though.

Well I'm supposed to be doing news research for politics, but after this class I've got a double free - so I can easily catch up. So I'm taking a breather at - gasp - ten past eleven in the morning.

I've lost my locker keys, which is nuts. So I had to get my locker opened by the janitor, and take all the books out of it because he'll lock it again later. And not open it again until tomorrow. Fair enough, says I, but I want an undead monkey.

Okay regarding the Trigun movie thing: Studio Madhouse's founder Masao Maruyama was interviewed in an issue of NEO (an anime and manga magazine in the UK) and said that the studio is working on a Trigun movie which should be released in a 'couple of years'.
Sorry, but on this computer I can't find out any more information than that.

Hey, does anyone read the magazine Shojo Beat?? Apparantly it serialises manga series, only it's not available in UK. It also gives out information about Japan - fashions, music scene and whatnot. Any information would be appreciated pleeeease.

Okay. So the next anime I want to get is Paradise Kiss. Sure, Chester was all like "it sucks", but I don't agree with him! Come on! Ai Yazawa is a fricking brillaint manga-ka, who agrees? She made Nana, which is apparantly SOOO popular. I've got volume one - Nana is serialised in Shojo Beat apparantly! - and I, and everyone else who's read it, agree that it is spiffy.

I need to send my penpal a birthday card. It'll never reach her in time - not in a million years, but I have to go to class now so there's no point talking about it now...

Morbo, have you left theotaku? You're not leaving whimsical little comments anymore....
