♪ SUMMER is NEARLY HERE! (by school standards, anyway)
I get out Wednesday afternoon ♥♥♥
Isn't it weird when you come upon a song that you've known a long time and realize that it kind of suits your life at that moment? Or ...does that even happen to other people? Well, it happens to me. (Though it sucks because sometimes it's only like, parts of the song that fit, and other parts that are like "WTF? No way!")
Nothing deep tonight... I guess I can just update my normal life. It's finally come to finals week of first semester. I have my History test on Tuesday and Japanese on Wednesday, but that's it!! How lucky. I'll be going home Wednesday afternoon, right after my test in fact. I'm gonna shop with me mum.
I'm looking forward to being home, but I hope I don't get tired of it too quickly. Thanks to my new "period-only-every-three-months-birth-control-pill", I don't have to worry about my own PMS, but I do have to worry about my mom's. Though she's never admitted it aloud (to me at least), I think she's just as bad as I am, if not scarier. She certainly doesn't get all weepy like I tend to.
Then again, I got weepy before I took the pill. Now I just get bitchy. Maybe this whole "Dragon" problem is because of my drugs... Hmm...
Anyway, continuing... Christmas is almost here! What the hell! どんだけ~! I still need to buy presents... for some people... oh gosh I am so bad at getting presents... I can't ever figure out what to get... and I take too long... aaagh!! Can't we just all skip the presents and just hang out?! ............. ヤダ・・・それは無理だね・・・・・・
Speaking of Christmas, ... Winter. After Christmas, I am done with Winter. I want Spring to come and frolic about. Alas, here in Huskerland, Winter will last through March as usual. And I already feel the pangs of longing. The gentle warm breeze... the smell of the snow melting... (it smells like llama, did you know this?)
But I can hope! For once, a few years ago, we had a very warm January. I can dream that it would come again...
(but I probably won't be so lucky.)
I guess that's really all for now. I need to work on getting a job. I applied at the school library but they haven't gotten back to me. I need to contact them. Aaaargh.
ps I'm moving back to college tomorrow! ...er, today!
HOORAY!!!!
that's how long it's been since I've updated. WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?
I guess I just haven't had anything to blog about over the summer. I'm so sorry. (who am I apologizing to, anyway?)
I made a new banner today but it won't upload right now. Dang you, Vox! :( I guess my old one will have to do.
Let's see...... I guess I should give an update of my life, since I haven't in forever. Though, it feels like I don't have anything to update on. I've been working and sleeping, pretty much. And being on the computer a lot.
I just saw the movie Sakuran yesterday. Tsuchiya Anna is in it and Shiina Ringo did the music. I probably died, it was so amazing. Not only is the combo AWESOME, the movie ruled beyond belief. I think that maybe at some point I got confused with some of the flashbacks, but I'm not entirely sure. I was just too in love. You know who else is in it? Narimiya Hiroki!! I was really excited to discover this. At first I read it wrong and thought he was the character Seiji, but then I looked again - he was Soujirou. I was a bad fangirl, though - I didn't realize it was him. He seemed familiar (and extremely hot), but those damn top-knot hairstyles throw me off.
In other Japanese entertainment news, I've also been watching Yamada Tarou Monogatari and Hanazakari no Kimi-tachi e ~Ikemen Paradise~ (aka Hana Kimi). I love them both. Yamada Tarou has Sakurai Sho and my beloved Ninomiya Kazunari in it <33 double-time ARASHI!! And as bad as I feel for my MatsuJun (I was baited), I am loving Nino more and more. (as a side note, I'm starting to like Leader more too... <3333)
Anyway, beyond Nino and Sho, the drama is so much fun. I laugh a lot at it, and my favorite character is the nervous homeroom teacher. I also like the principal. He was the grandfather in Gokusen! He's such a sweet-looking ojii. (Wow! He was born in 1931!)
As for Hana Kimi, it took me a bit to enjoy it. I never read the manga, so I didn't have that connection like I did with Hana Yori Dango. In fact, if it wasn't for Oguri Shun, I probably wouldn't have kept up with it. But, after the first episode it got better. Now I'm in love with it.
I do feel bad that I haven't watched Bambino! at all. MatsuJun got an award for it. -_-;; I feel like a bad fangirl. Italian is my favorite style of food, too! What better combination?! I'll have to watch it after this season of drama ends. Yamada Tarou and Hana Kimi are 11 episodes each, you know.
In normal life news, I'm going back to school next week! Hooray~~!!! I leave to move in on the 17th. Holy CRAP, I can't wait. Don't get me wrong, I love my family. But I'm definitely ready to go back. Ha! Ha! Ha! (too much Harvey Birdman, lately...)
There's a week before we actually start classes, though. So I think I'll be going on a road trip with some of my college friends for a few days then. Seems like Kansas City and Worlds of Fun is the destination of choice. Woohoo! Roller coasters! Twice in one summer!!
Unrelated, I'm kind of sort of working for Ochibi-chan Scanlations now. They do the scanlations for the manga Lovely Complex, which I believe I mentioned in a post before. The entire series has been released in Japan, but they're only on volume 8 of 16 scanlation-wise. Their translator had disappeared for a while, I guess, and so they were SOL for a while. I offered my (weak) services and they took it up. I did the first chapter of volume 9 as a test, and it seemed to go over pretty well... now I have chapter 2 to finish up. I'll be working on it after this, actually.
So, uh, if you happen to read LC from them... sorry if there are any mistakes.
Okay, I'm bored of typing now. Besides, this post has gotten really super long. I'm outta here.
so my mom randomly asks me today, "so markie, how many classes did you miss this past semester?" with that sort of smug, i-already-know-the-answer sort of attitude. I was like, shit. I still don't know how she determined it. moms are crazy.
but, exciting news: I GOT A JOB!
I'll be working at the pool at the number-one fancypants golf course in town, Champions. awesome. depending on what I'm doing, I'll make either $8 (at the counter) or $6+tips (serving or something). double awesome. that's definitely more than I made at Red Robin... my final wage after working there for a year was $7.30 (maybe $7.50, I can't remember). and that was the only raise I ever got, from a starting wage of $6.15. jerks. (at least it was fun.)
I have my shirts, which are actually tanktops (thank god), and I get to go in tomorrow for my first day of training (read: tour of the club, introductions, blahblahblah.)
I got inspired last night suddenly for a Draco/Original character fanfiction, and I started writing it today. It's really the first serious fanfiction I've ever done, so it's kind of interesting...... don't know if I'll post it anywhere other than my Wordpress account though.
lately, thanks to a certain amazing suzumiya haruhi AMV called "Skittles", I've become a little addicted to Japanese r&b styled music. heartsdales, soul'd out, m-flo... they're all awesome. a lot of it is cheerful and happy sort of music, so I like it a lot. I also have fallen in love with the band Monkey Majik... such fun.
I really need to keep up on this blog. but for now, I'm going to go write more. <3 yay fanfics.
So, I did my Music final today. That means all I'm left with is Japanese at 10 am on Friday. Which I'm not worried about. In fact, I'm going to see Spiderman 3 at the midnight showing Thursday night/Friday morning. That's how not worried I am.
But until then, I have nothing to do! I can relax! Hooray! But, most of my time is spent relaxing anyway... so...
Mysteriously, I'm still feeling just fine. The only problem I have right now is that I'm hungry. But that's easily solved. Also mysteriously, I have yet to begin my period. Hnn. I had it predicted for Tuesday, so it'll probably start ... tomorrow, maybe tonight. Who knows!
I suppose that's all that's really going on right now. After my final on Friday I'll be heading home. I'm kind of ready now, but it's still sad. All my friends are here. At least I still have a few to keep me company back in Omaha...
so, time for me to be MECCHA excited. (hurhur)
TSUJI-CHAN!!!! She's formed a group with a gravure idol and a food-eating-contest champion: GYARURU !! and they're GALS. muahaha. I guess they are a parapara group. maybe it'll become popular again for a little bit. parapara is pretty old... and I still like it now...
I'm kind of excited. and by kind of I mean really. I like gyaru style. I think I will try and be more gyaru this summer. I have a $75 gift card for the mall... so I should buy some cute heel shoes... and short-shorts... and jean skirts too I guess... and I need to get a job where I'll get a nice tan... so either a) job as beer girl at a golf course or b) job at a tanning salon. it'd be so fun to be a gyaru. I want to do it!
I have a live recording of the GYARURU single... which comes out in June... but I really like it. it's catchy. plus, um, hello, TSUJI! <3 that makes it good regardless I think. the song is called "Boom Boom Meccha Maccho" ......
ooh, also, I'm very excited because on jpopsuki someone uploaded & seeded all four of the we love techpara albums!! so now I am all sorts of techpara happy. I downloaded them right away. I haven't really listened to techno in a while so it is kind of fun. i've been really rock focused this year thanks to guitar hero and such.
in other news, today has been rainy and boo :( compared to the weather we've been having, it's decently cold... but actually it's like 52 degrees. dangit!! I am in the summer mood already!!! I want it to be steaming hot and sunny all the time. I want to wear skimpy clothes. ;-;
anyway. I should go attempt to....... do homework or something. only 3 days of classes left!!! WHAT!
So, let's go over this weekend.
Anberlin concert: FREAKING AMAZING OH MY GOD
no seriously. It was so awesome. Kind of scary though... I probably almost died... (yay moshing...?)
Josh definitely went insane. Everytime I managed to find him in the crowd, I just saw him flipping out and dancing around like a maniac. It was hilarious...
But then, at the end, he came over to us and was all "WHO WANTS A HUG?" because... he was amazingly sweaty and disgusting. I mistakenly gave him a hug. Seriously, it looked like someone dumped a large bucket of water on him.
We had a sleepover at my house instead of driving home that night. It was kind of exciting, except Josh fell asleep on the couch. Hahaha. We also took showers...
Saturday: Red & White game was fun... Josh and Kyle were totally crazy ... yelling and all that stuff. And a crazy old lady kept talking to me... she was cute though.
Then we had the Harry Potter tournament at 2! Ruth got stuck at home so John joined our team instead. We got to our House finals (HUFFLEPUFF!!), but lost by two points. Jerks.
After that, I took an hour and a half nap, and then we went to the Bathtub Dogs Spring Show. It was pretty cute, but I think I would have enjoyed it more had I not seen Anberlin the night before.
When we got back, we learned that John, who was participating in a Fight Night on campus, unfortunately got his ass handed to him and was headed to the hospital. It turned out to only be a minor concussion, but we all piled up in the cars and visited him anyway. He came home with us and life was good.
Today, I had my date with sir Alec of my music class. It was pretty fun. He seems like a cool guy, and I think if he asks I'll... probably go with him again.
Then I went shopping with Kyle to get a present for mister Josh, whose birthday is this Wednesday. But, alas, I couldn't find what I wanted (I'm hoping for a DBZ action figure... muahaha). At around 5 Betty, Katya, Josh and I went over a friend's house and had some good Iranian dinner. But that was kind of early, so I'm kind of hungry again...
I guess that pretty much covers it for now. We only have one week of real classes left, and then dead week, and then finals week...... dang. I can't believe it, so close to the end. WHERE HAS MY LIFE GONE?
on a final note, I think I feel more confused than ever about boys. I just want to be told straight out what the hell is going on... Arrrgh!
This has been a weird week. I've been a pretty awful student -- skipping Japanese class the past three days, Music on Monday, and Astronomy on Tuesday. But! I got an 83% on my Astronomy test today, which I'm quite pleased with. And I won't skip anything from here on out. Except for on March 29th. I'll skip Music for the Foreign Language Fair and spend the entire day with my sensei <3 eheh.
I've been really angry at the weather. If it had only stayed springy and cheerful, I'm sure it would have carried my mood! But no, it had to snow...and looks like it'll snow again tomorrow. dlfkja;dlfjk WINTER JUST GO AWAY ALREADY YOU'VE HAD YOUR FUN NOW LET IT GET WARM
...
Anyway. Looks like I gots a full next few days ahead of me... an acoustic rock show tomorrow night... a friend Suzy coming in and staying over Friday... a formal dance Friday night (super excited!! free ...and free limo rides to there!)... old friends coming in on Saturday for a concert... uh...uneventful Sunday...
Then what's after that? Hnn~ Britni is coming in Monday with her Japanese homestay personage Kana, so we can go Tuesday to pick out our room. <3!! I can't wait. We find out tomorrow actually what time our appointment is. Hooray~~
I'm pretty sure I'll start my period tomorrow (March 1st...cripes). I feel it...
I feel like there's so much more I want to write, but it just has been a long day. My brain is slowly exploding...
to remind myself: boys & downloading. cancer.
oh man!! THE WEATHER IS SOO NICE!!
today is a stunning 60 degrees. It's windy, but that's okay for now...because it's just so pleasant...it could be freezing and windy...and then where would I be? Depression, that's where.
I was kind of frustrated earlier because I skipped my Japanese & Music class to write an English paper that I thought was due today...but actually it's not due until next Wednesday (>-<) figures. I ended up skipping my English class too. That's not really good, but...oh well. (I'm such a bad student!)
I'm really excited for the weekend, though! I get to go into Omaha~ I have a hair appointment for 3 pm and I'm going to take my iPod into the Apple store too! (it's broken.) I'm also excited to pick up a pretty dress or two from home for the Abel Formal in a couple weeks. (Should be total fun~)
The only complaint I have is that I have to get up at o-dark thirty to ride in with Josh~ (-_-);; But oh well. Betty & Katya will be coming in later in the evening and we can have a fun time downtown~ <3 It looks like it'll be fun~
It also looks like I'll be going to Texas with my mom over spring break. HOORAY!! She keeps telling me about how it's repeatedly 78-79 degrees outside...(jealous!) but, if it's February and that kind of weather~ hopefully two weeks into March is even better.
Well, I guess that is all for now...I feel like I should be doing something since I skipped class all day...
