素直な気持ち伝えるのさ

I think it's safe to say that I did a badass job of giving a useful gift.

Hopefully I'll be less busy one of these days...

So, this afternoon, I went out to H-mart, an Asian (mostly Korean?) grocery store in Philly, which was beautiful. I'm still stuffed with chicken katsu and sushi and I got some gummies, strawberry daifuku, and wasabi peas :D Now to not spend money ever again. XD;;;

In other news, I cannot stop listening to Arashi music. @____@ This is bad... I don't want to be a Johnny's girl! But it's just so catchy... and there's nothing wrong with indulging in a little boybandy music. I just can't let myself get sucked into the scary-ass fandom that is Johnny's fandom in general just like I wasn't going to let myself get sucked into RPS. That being said, I discovered that Ohno (lead singer of Arashi) 1) got auditioned for Johnny's without his knowing it by his mother and 2) wanted to quit and was asked as a last favour by Johnny Kitagawa to help him by coming with him to Hawaii... where he announced the formation of Arashi. So basically... Johnny's is SCARY LIEK WOAH. I mean, sure, Ohno is ridiculously famous and wealthy now, but it really sucks if he wanted to quit and now can't walk through Tokyo without seeing his face plastered somewhere. o____O;;;

Also unfair since Mizuki is still trying and failing... :P

UGHHHH more readings now. @____@

Stolen from fullmetalkatu:

Pick a character and I will give and explain the top five ideas/concepts/etc I keep in mind while writing that character that I believe are essential to accurately depicting them.

Characters are as follows:

I go back to school in two days. *sigh* Today is my last day with yomimashou for a while ;_____; I'll miss you! And then, yesterday night I hung out with my high school friends, which was a lot of fun. I didn't realize how much I missed everyone! We need to do it more often.

As of right now, I'm stuck at home with the animals while my parents take my sister back to school... and I have to pack. Buh.

Archive is updated! Apparently I hadn't done it in forever. XD; I put in like the six most recent fics I had written or something.

...And now to spend the day at the library. XO May Day was fun and I had a great time, but I really am not happy that I lost the studying time. I NEEDED THAT STUDYING TIME, DAMNIT! Here's to hoping that I don't get butt-raped by my Greek Sculpture final. TT____TT;;

My Dance Comp final is also on Thursday, but luckily, I'm pretty much done with that, assuming Mady doesn't hate it or anything. And then I have to take Japanese and finish my art shit and hand in my painting portfolio... and then I'll be done! But that's still a while from now, so...

@____@ back to work.

So, I've gotten my computer back!

The good news: It was only 2 days, not the four they said it was going to be!

The bad news: Because I got a new logic board, my Time Machine no longer recognizes my computer! So I have to delete everything that was on my backup drive and start over again. This isn't a tragedy, BUT if something goes wrong between deleting everything off the drive (that's 500 gigs worth of shit...) and re-backing up, I'm fucked. And that makes me super nervous.

But... on the bright side, I learned how to use a slide carousel? XD; Hopefully I'll get points from Donohue for that. It makes me nervous that everyone else's paper is like 3 or 4 pages longer than mine...

Also, Mady decided to move our Comp final back a few days... to the exact same day as my Greek Sculpture final. FUCKKKKK. @____@ For the record, my dance is almost done and I'm really quite confident in it, but Aliza has a sinus infection and some other people were having trouble scheduling rehearsals... so I got sacrificed for their sake. Fair, I suppose, but not ideal. >___> So I'm going to complain. *whines*

In other news, it's kind of embarrassing how much I really love this song. I kind of want to somehow build upon the bits of a dance that exist in the TV size version and make a para para out of it or something, with cosplay and whatnot. The schoolgirl outfits from the video would be like so easy to put together. XD; Obnxiously, if I were to be anyone out of the crowd, I'd want to be Rukia... the one who doesn't have huge boobs. Alas, why do I only like the female characters in Bleach who it would make so much less sense for me to ever cosplay? I guess I'll stick to crossplaying... *le sigh*

...I ramble about really random stuff when I'm stressed and tired...

So, last night at 4:30 am, someone decided that it would be a great idea to burn something in the microwave. Not just burn it, however, burn it bad enough not only to set off the fire alarm, but to create enough smoke the Public Safety could not let residents back into the building until all the smoke had cleared.

Which was not until 6 am.

When it was getting light out.

Because of this, I did not wake for my first class this morning. Nor did I wake for my second class today. In fact, I slept until 1:15 when a friend called asking if we were still meeting for lunch. And I hate missing class. I never miss class. Even when I'm sick, I go to class.

...basically, I'm tired, feel extremely negative, and just want to go die in a ditch.

But I have rehearsal from 5:30 to 10 tonight.

[/complaining]

12 HOURS UNTIL I DIE.

INDEPENDENT MAJOR - CHECK.

STUDY ABROAD APPLICATIONS - CHECK

INTERNSHIP APPLICATIONS - CHECK

GRANT APPLICATIONS - CHECK

Now if I make it through Friday, I'm golden. @____@

It's kind of a bummer that I'm going to have to come back to campus for printmaking over break though.

In other news, I'm sleepy. Dammit, puzzlepiece, why are you so easy to talk to for like 3 hours without it feeling like any time has gone by? XD;

Also I know everyone else is raving about it, but FIRST CAST.

HAPPY HELL WEEK!

Also, for those of you who care to look, there are some more pictures of my Sailor Moon cosplay here!

Lots to get done @___@;

I don't know how I got this sick this fast, but I feel gross. I should sleep...

Jazz ensemble audition on Thursday was... interesting. But I got in, so I suppose I should be happy. I'm withholding statement until rehearsals start.

Submitted both my Art Major declaration and my Dance Independent Major proposal... hope all goes well. I'll submit my internal Study Abroad application as soon as my major declaration goes through and my Temple one ASAP. I have to wait for my signature thing to go through so that I can sign the online documents, write one more essay, and get my internal form signed... but I should be able to submit by the beginning of February. Here's to hoping.

Did a Kime shoot yesterday in the dark, and got 15 good shots out of it. Thanks to moonlightlady14 for photographing for me. My wig looks really blonde because of the weird lighting, but other than that, I think they came out well. I'll post them as soon as I can think straight again...

Now to get stuff done before sleeping... @____@
