Today is my first day of class~ :D It's from 1:00 - 3:15 PM, Mondays and Wednesdays. Going to school two days a week isn't bad, but added with work, I feel like it's gonna suck. Oh well, I shouldn't complain so much, I'm trying to be a better student and a better person this year. Wish me luck? :D ♥

From
( Raine's words for me and my interpretation~♥ )
Fandom, how I love you. And my friends? They are truly epic and loveable. Therefore, that is why I am... at 11:11, offering up fanfiction to my livejournal. >__>
Anyway! If you want to read it - *points* Go this-a-way. I'll add the other two Arashi fanfics I wrote
Other than that, I watched Yamada Tarou and some of Maou with a friend, and watched the first episode of Love Shuffle tonight. I loved it. Read some more of Skip Beat. Downloaded some more Arashi no Shukudai-kun to catch up with tomorrow.
And tomorrow I'm going to visit my grandma. I wasn't sure if I was going to, but I am. Lately I've been a little on edge about her, because she just had her will written. I know it's dumb, but it makes me anxious and I feel like sometimes I want to pull away from those kinds of things. But I love her and I want to be there for her, so I'm gonna suck it up and do just that.
I also started a bit of a diet. It's nothing hardcore, just something to keep me healthier and happier. =3 That silly kind of thing. It's been working. Plus it feels like I have more energy lately. It's kinda nice.
Any-who~ next thing is my list of Dramas to watch~ too many to count, really, buuuut, the ones I'm working on now are: Hana-kimi (on ep. 6) and I'm starting Love Shuffle and Atashinchi no Danshi on Monday. :3
Now, I know, my life itself is pretty boring outside of fandom during the summer (especially with my one friend at camp and the other off living with her sister, far away from me), but this time, I actually have something I did to share~! :D
Two of my friends and I went to see The Proposal on Friday. :3 It wasn't the movie we were originally gonna see, but we're still teenagers, we change our minds. AND I'M GLAD WE DID, BECAUSE I LOVED IT. The whole movie was hilarious and awkward and ASGKG:AF; ♥♥♥♥♥ I always love comedy, anyway.
Now it's off to work for me - where I try to be as nice as possible, even though I want to cry, working 11 hours straight in a job where I alone clean and run a gas station. That's right - just me - by myself - running a gas station. .__. I know I should just be glad to HAVE a job in this economy, but it's still painful sometimes. My feet reeeeeally hurt afterwards, too. But I should stop complaining now. It gets me money, which, right now, is good enough for me.
It's terrible, you shouldn't read it, but if you do, I take no responsibility that the horror of my writing could cause.
Therefore... onward, to the little barely-a-drabble I wrote a little late, in response to Ninomiya's birthday~
Anyway! Now that that's over, onward! (I have just enough time to post before I'm off to work.)
Not much to say except: I caught up in DGM, I fell behind by like two volumes worth of updates. A-and... TT_TT I have this really bad feeling. But at the same time, there was a moment of happiness. Marie, I love you~ ♥♥♥ My happiness was found in something akin to "I think I've finally figured out why you and Kanda are always at each other's necks... it's because you're so similar." I died. Happilly. And it was hilarious. However, all in all I know deep down that it's probably going to get worse before it gets better.
My next goal is to catch up in the KHR chapters I missed. (That's a big project, because I probably missed A LOT). And then find out where I left off in watching Kyou Kara Maoh, and work on finishing that. :D :D :D
Since I haven't said much about what I've been into manga/anime-wise for a while, I should mention that

However! There is good news! Thanks to my awesome juice-drinking skills, whatever illness it was that was plaguing me is GONE. Wooo~! :D
Mm, and then there's my constant battle to learn Japanese. :3 I do believe my vocabulary consists of 60+ words and my Kanji count is finally over 30. XD;; Mah, it's not that great, but I haven't been seriously at it that long, so I'm a bit impressed with myself. There are some basic sentences I can do now, it's kinda neat. Now I just need to get me some particles mastered, and then I can practice more speaking and sentence-making.
Lastly, for sweet Raine, who said: "I just figured that adding a picture or two with an update adds a bit more of an intimate touch to things. Don't you think so too?" I say: "YES!" And give you:( the sky does pretty things when it thinks you aren't looking )
Already paid for my classes next year, so that's one thing out of the way. I worked some extra hours this week to make up for my time off while I was in New York too. Got sucked into playing Kindom Hearts II again, also. Almost finished watching Hana Kimi, but lately I haven't been feeling so hot. Or, actually, too hot. I REALLY hope I'm not getting a summer cold. Eh, I don't think my schedule would change much even if I did.
+ Curl up with something cold to drink
+ Play Kingdom Hearts II
+ Get my step-sister to watch VS Arashi and Arashi no Shukudai-kun with me
Those kinds of things are good no matter how good or bad you're feeling. xDD But I did manage to stay out of bed long enough yesterday to work on the other half of my icon batch. (I was bored one day so I decided to start making some Aiba icons. =3 I'm actually getting better at it then I was. Some of them were actually loved. I was happy. Now I'm making some of Sho. Why he didn't come first when he's my ichiban, I'll never know.)
My redecorating got pushed back a bit until I feel better. But I'll post pictures of that too when it's done. xDD
Eh, the pictures I wanted to show will be a little later than I hoped. I lent my camera to my best friend so she can save the pictures too since she didn't bring one. When I get it back I'll be able to share them. But I'm not exactly sure when that is, either.
Since the trip, I've been mostly relaxing: playing Eternal Poison and re-playing Kingdom Hearts II. But on Thursday I hung out with Matt, and got him to watch VS Arashi with me. We were going to go to see our high school's graduation, because we had a lot of friends graduating - but then it got moved into the gym and we couldn't go because we didn't have tickets. Our school is small (including our gym), so only a few people actually get tickets and they go to family, not friends. It was a bit sad, but we still had great fun
Also - cracked and got a Twitter account. Add me here if you have one. ^____^
The short version is: I had a magnificent time in New York. Everything was ungodly expensive, the food was delicious, the driving was atrocious, we got lost coming into New York (of course), this time we didn't end up going to Delaware accidentally (long story), we saw UP in 3D, saw Wicked on broadway and it was glorious and amazing and gave me all kinds of goosebumps, stayed at the Hilton on Times Square up on the 41st floor, went to Toys R Us, walked around doing silly things, ate in a haunted restaraunt, saw the behind the scenes tour at the theater for Wicked, and watched Coraline in our hotel room.
I have pictures, but you'll have to wait a bit for them. Besides, this post is long enough as it is. xDD
Which reminds me~ say hello to my gorgeous new layout. X3 I think I'm attached to this one, it might stay for a long... long time. >.> (it was either this, or make a Liar Game-centric banner to go with the old one. in the end, I couldn't deny myself XD)
I hope to bring back some good pictures to share with you guys when I get back from New York~ I wonder what strange and wonderful (and possibly stupid, knowing us) adventures my best friend and I will get into. It's going to be a blast.
Well, if I'm not on again until I leave, sayonara~
I finished up finals with 2 Bs and 2 As... very good, in my opinion, especially considering one of those classes was the much dreaded speech class.
Lately I've been busy watching Japanese dramas and fangirling over Arashi ever since they were introduced to me~ Shows like Hana Yori Dango, Kimi wa Petto (You Are My Pet), Maou, Yamada Tarou Monogatari (The Story of Yamada Tarou), and so on. On the two far-end extremes Maou is GREAT if you love characters and tragedy, suspense, and at the end, (if you're like me) tons and tons of crying. At the other end, there's Yamada Tarou Monogatari... a comedy about a princely boy who happens to be dead poor with six siblings and a mother who can't work, but he's perfectly sweet and hardworking (so on the inside, he really is like a prince, just not money-wise XD) - his cool, but inwardly mischevious best friend - and the poor girl who wants to marry rich so she doesn't have to live like she has been, only to fall in love with Tarou, who seems rich but isn't. He isn't hiding it, which only makes it funnier, and her "inner-theater" is hilarious. It's epic win on all accounts, if you ask me.
Other than that, I've been working a little extra to get some extra money...
Because this weekend I'm going to New York to see Wicked with my best friend~ Yup. Life is good. I promise to bring back pictures to show anyone who's interested.
And lastly, I must pimp this since I happily did it~
In case you're curious what "success" is for me this time around, here's the "Schedule for Success" I registered for. XD
SUMMER II
Introduction to Tai Chi
Oh no I DON'T know anything about Tai Chi, but I also know that it sounds like the least painful of our physical education requirements. Or should I say, it sounds interesting. I think it's something like a form of self-defense, so that's kinda cool, if what my friend told me was right.
FALL
History 101
Legal Research and Writing II
Civil Litigation II
English 102
Why do I always end up needing to take English at early hours? It's at 8:00, but I commute from almost an hour away, soooo it's early for me. History will probably be painful, but it's for the diversity requirement and one of my cores... I would have needed it eventually, so I'm getting it ut of the way now.
Best news is, after these, I CAN DO INTERNSHIPS~ ^_^ I can't waaaaaiiit~
I must've caught quite a bug... first with the coughing and voice-failing and then the sleepless nausea... I'm just lucky it happened during Spring break I guess, so I won't have to miss any school. I was just able to get through today without wanting to rip my throat out. |D;;
So, I guess I'll be up and around until I either pass out, or my stomach stops wanting to throw up food I didn't really eat. >.<;; That's the worst kind of nausea, I think, cause it's the kind you usually can't get over by just getting it out of your system... it's usually longer-lasting. My medication doesn't make it better... it makes me antsy on top of it... including my stomach...
Meanwhile, I'll just watch things... and maybe play Persona 4 if I run out of new things to watch. XD
I missed a day again. Man, where does time go? XD
+ My friends spent the weekend at my house.
+ We played Brawl like crazy, in which Matt realized why I love Ike and Marth so much.
+ Ate many good things, as well as made some tasty things to eat as well.
+ Made plans to see my alumni high school's musical this coming Friday~
Technically this is a day late, but I was incapable without a laptop.
Anyway! Things of happiness -
+ I did not fail when giving my speech, and I actually got in the time limit of five to seven minutes, which I was nervous about.
+ My friends are coming over to hang out at my house tomorrow
+ Spring break has begun and I now have eleven days before I have to go back to school again. Woot.
Those are really some awesome things to be happy about.
+ I found the Subrashiki Kono Sekai ("The World Ends With You" XD) Original Soundtrack I thought I lost. ^3^
+ My speech today was cancelled and pushed back to Thursday =Db
+ I'm actually not failing at Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, right now, and I got the new Fire Emblem game ^^
+ I got an A on my first Criminal Evidence test, even though an "A", requires that I get a 94%... ^^;;
+ Hiragana Alphabet memorized... and thirty vocab words, too. It's coming along nice, despite my busy schedule
Anyone can do it, though Maddie should, so I have a reason to poke... I mean, TALK to her more now that I'm on my SPRING BREAK. =DDD
S-sorry for another long absence. My grandmother had a stroke and she's in the hospital, so I've been really busy with school and going to visit her in the hispital. She's not doing very good... at all. I couldn't even get her to talk last time I saw her. But I still want to keep a positive attitude. I have to, I think.
Now... I owe two drabbles to two very awesome friends. I finished Maddie's, though I can't promise anything on the quality xD;; I have to catch up on my KHR reading to finish the other one, but I promise I'm working on it as fast as I can with college right on my heels. TT_TT
Here ya go Maddie~
I have speech... enough said. X_X My professor is awesome, but I don't know that it can change how I feel about public speaking... At least the girl who sits next to me feels the same and is nice and fun to talk to... also, incredibly cute and short... like the kind of girl you just want to squeeze. xD;;
Other than school, my time has been occupied with... what else? Anime and video games. Shocker, I know. xD I picked up the first DVD of Darker Than Black because I think Maddie recommended it to me once. Well, I love it so far, although I only got to watch like two episodes yet. ^^;; And the game of the month: is Tales of the Abyss. I loved Tales of Legendia, and I think I love Tales of the Abyss even more! I think I'm going to eventually go after all the "Tales" games because I've loved the two I did play already.
Ugh, trying to start losing the weight I gained back over the holidays, but it's hard when my favorite exercise: walking and running outside, is kinda impossible in this numbing cold.
I know I owe some people writings, and I promise I'll get them done as soon as I can, I just have to have time to think of some decent things to write. >w< School writing tends to stifle my creative writing, especially legal writing. xD
