   Ra~men!
Post time: 8:17a.m. CT
Music: “Spring Nicht" by Tokio Hotel (German band ^-^)

I've gotten into a habit of posting mostly on Mondays, haven't I? It seems like it to me at least...Anyways, my weekend was a lot more adventurous than my week was. Saturday, we all left the house at 6:30 in the morning because my parents had to work early to get off early so we could go to my little cousin’s birthday party. My brothers and I went to Grandpa Denny’s house while they went to work. We mostly watched TV and played with the dogs and talked with Grandma Christa. After a while, she let the boys go swimming and let me get on the computer. I checked out Miyavi’s site, since my home computer’s Internet is so slow the whole page doesn’t load properly...Then I watched some Jrock videos on YouTube. I watched the “Mushi” live from the 5 Days Blitz DVD (DIRU of course); I nearly cried a few times during the performance...especially towards the end when Kyo started to cry. ;__; Then I decided to watch some Ayabie stuff, and ended up watching their "Like an Edison" New Year’s comment for 2007, an older comment with Ryouhei still in the band, then a live of “Kimi no Koe to Yakusoku” and “Meefishu no uta, koi gara no”. The New Year comment was hilarious...Yumehito kept of saying “Ra~men” in a sort of sing-songy voice...perhaps I shall post it? But Intetsu was incredibly adorable in it...he kept on trying not to laugh at the others and failed miserably. X3 The “Kimi no Koe” live was very cute because Aoi was moving his arms and sort of dancing, as were the others (aside from Kenzo of course...he had to drum. XD)...well, swaying along at least. I think the sudden Ayabie kick was because I had a dream the night before, and I can’t remember exactly what happened in it, but Aoi was there...O__o Oh! I also watched the first part of the episode of Steven’s Untitled Rock Show where Steven interviewed Kaoru and Toshiya! I was happy that I could watch all the questions that I had missed. ^^ My parents eventually came and picked us up around 3:30 (along with Grandma Thompson) to go to Omaha. I was so squished in the car...I have relatively long legs, so they had to stay bent the whole time. XP When we got there, I talked to my Uncle Rick about the concert. We ended up trading first concert experiences, his being a Metallica show. My Aunt Cindy’s boyfriend/neighbor cooked some nummy hamburgers and made an awesome Caesar salad. I couldn’t finish all of my cheeseburger because of how thick everything was...it probably didn’t help I put tomato and lettuce on it, huh? XD It was delicious, though! He is an excellent cook. He’s also the owner of that humongous golden retriever, Argus. After eating, my cousin opened her presents. We gave her my old doll house I got when I was one; she loved it. XD We had let my mom’s friend have it, but her little girl doesn’t play with it anymore, so we decided to give it to my cousin. Then I had some ice cream when it was cake and ice cream time. I was still pretty full from dinner, so that’s why I didn’t have cake. Plus the frosting can be too sweet at times and it gives me a tummy ache. D= After that, we sort of sat around and talked for a while. I had my uncle listen to some of the Dir en grey I have on my iPod, and he gets a kick out of the song name “Agitated Screams of Maggots”. I can’t say I blame him. XD Before we left, I thanked my aunt once again for letting Yumi and I stay for the show, and asked if Dir en grey ever came back, if it would be okay if Yumi, Kayla, and myself stay again. She said it was perfectly fine with her. XD I love my aunt so much. >w<

Yesterday I got up and took a shower before calling Kayla to find out what the day’s plans were. Yumi and I ended up going over there and hanging out. Kayla requested that I print off pictures of the rest of Dir en grey so that she could draw them all. I gave her a picture of Die, and she ended up drawing it, so she decided to draw the others as well. I discovered I don’t have very many pictures of Kaoru or Toshiya on my computer...it’s filled with Shinya and Kyo-ness. XD I plan on drawing a picture of Shinya sometime, if not Intetsu, Ruki, or Reita. We ended up going swimming again before going over to Grandma Karen’s house for another cook-out. This time Yumi could stay for it! =D Last time she couldn’t...I could hardly eat everything on my plate...I had a chedder bratwurst, some mashed potatoes, and some of Karen’s pistachio pudding salad. =3 I love that stuff...it’s pistachio pudding, whipped cream, crushed pineapple, and marshmallows all mixed together. After eating, we watched IMF, MTV2, and Fuse before Yumi had to go home. We waited for her dad outside, and eventually saw driving near the house...but in the complete wrong direction. XD Then he came back and purposefully drove past that house again. What’s so funny about that, was right when we started waiting, Kayla said that he would drive right by the house. She never said if he would do it on purpose or on accident, so she was technically right. XD After that I went home. Now today I’m here...like usual. XD I may post the next chapter in my fanfic on my livejournal, so if anybody’s interested, check it out later. ^-^ I’ll leave you with the wonderful Ayabie New Year’s comment I watched on Saturday.

In order from back to front (left to right): Intetsu (<3), Takehito, Yumehito, Aoi, and Kenzo (in the pimp-tastic hat and sunglasses! =D)

Oh! One last thing for all you U.S. residing An Cafe fans! I found a nice petition on MySpace to see if we can show the band enought support to get them touring the U.S.! So please sign this!!!
