IT HAS MOVED!!!!
That's right, folks, Lucky Lady is now at my cherries.nu collective! Go admire the new layout!

Which drink are you?


...taking a breif break from midterm studying. ^___^

Oookay, my mum just woke up to yell at my sister and i to go to bed, slammed around in the kitchen, then went back to bed. What the freak!
She pissed me off. Now I'm in a bad mood. ::gnashes teeth::
I hate being yelled at. ::sigh::

My eyes itch.
I'm so tired.
I don't want to sleep. Then I'll have to wake up.
I don't want this day to end. I don't want to have tomorrow. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
Wednesday. Midterms. Bleeeeeh.

I sound freaky. Sleep deprivation gets to me like no other. Best time for me to write freaky depressing stuff is at night when I'm tired. But it always sounds like badly done translations -- I always sound like badly done translations. Baa~d.

You're Ken.

You're just the cute blushing and innocent average boy next-door. Despite owning a pair of razor sharp Wolverine-like claws you seem to feel guilty over what you do at your job (ya know, that...night job you're trying to convince yourself you *need* to be at) due to your extremely pure conscience! When you're not working in the shop, or running night-time errands you're most likely outside playing soccer, or teaching little kids to play... or even helping out a nun!
Which member of WeiB are you? Take the quiz!

Yeah... I can see that.

Maybe I'm just incredibly stupid, but MY Vespertine CD only has 12 tracks.

~belated~
Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! Happy New Year! Happy New Euro! Yaaay!

It's snowing!

Woo. Life is very boring lately.

I had a traumatic day. So traumatic I can't even speak about it! Basically, I couldn't open the door to the apartment, then I left it open when I ran downstairs for a millisecond and when I came back up someone was saying "HELLO? HELLO?" in the door. ^,^ Um... bleh. Just a day.
So, tomorrow's a half day... and then it's Thanksgiving, yay!

Eck. Don't read the post below if you know what's good for you. I'm hyper and obnoxious and *annoying.* :P

Har har, I really hate this layout. >P
Heh, today we had to write down our topic, so I had to make a quick decision (i had some debate for what Japanese topic to do) and I chose Kimono. Siigh. Should be fun, but I wish I'd had more time to think about it. OH! And someone's doing Yuu Watase... ^o^ Someone else... InuYasha? Something like that, I forgot the title, but I know I've heard it before. Mmm... but the InuYasha girl (i'm just gunna call her that from now on) I get along with really well (she likes HP too, too!) and she's really nice and funny... and we were talking about anime during almost the whole class today. I'm going to, like, bash her over the head and steal half the videos she claims to have. XD And she's like "Weiss Kreuz?" (she said it wes krooz or something of the like, and i'm like "wait, weiss?!") and I was like "DOOD! Read the manga, want to buy it, SO ABOUT TO ORDER THE FANSUBS WHEN I HAVE THE MONEY." And SHE says "Yeah! We gotta watch those!" So that was funny. (Well, I found it amusing.) UUM. Oh, in Physics, it was great, we were doing a lab (double physics, which means 8:30 to 10:15 YES THAT'S AN HOUR AND 45 MINUTES AND NO I'M NOT KIDDING YOU) and that was so much fun, we talked the whole time but still did the work while fooling around and all tha~t, and then he started lecturing. It was like, a major crash. On Wednesday, he said "bring in some food, we'll have a little party" (wednesday->half day, so each period is about 30 minutes long) and the girl sitting next to me is like "hmm... chocolates, chips, soda..." she's got this huge-ass list already. XD And I'm bringing in... VIENNA FINGERS! YUMMMMMMM! So that should be cool. And if I seem hyper, it's because I am, I've hardly spoken all day and for the past hours and I have to go to this honors awards thang for Alex in a bit, so that'll be boring and SILENT and shtuff. And I was going to say something else. OH YEAH. Wait, no, I can't remember. Damn. OH YEAH, now I do. I got my Tokyo Babylon DVD from Netflix (dvd rental place) BUT IT'S SO SCRATCHED IT KEEPS PAUSING AND RESTARTING. I am soooo pissed~! I need some more anime, yo~! What I really need is MONEY. And there's no way in hell I'm getting any money because I owe, like, $7 to my sister and that's not much but I only get $5 a week for sitting on my ass, aaand I keep saying I'll do jobs but i am SO DANG BUSY. Woo. And this Christmas was GOING to be, like, my big place for getting anime/manga/J-Pop stuff, but since we're going to Amsterdam/London, it won't be a jack-pot-ish place. And I'm NOT complaining, trust me on that, *but* it's a bit annoying. Still, it's worth it if I get to go to Holland for Christmas! That'll be SO WICKED! I'm really really really excited and I'd give up every birthday and christmas for FIVE YEARS to go!!! But I won't have to!!!!!!! Alls I'm saying is I wont be able to get more anime for what seems like the rest of my LIFE and yes I'm being melodramatic cuz i WANNA BE.

Woah. I'm really hyper, aren't I. This is what I get for being all quiet and deadly calm in History class and beyond~. (I'm really annoyed with myself now and I can't tell why. Boo.)

I think I've changed my mind.
I think I'll do kimono for my Japanese project.
Or... hmmmmmmm.
I don't KNOW. ::frowns::

Eck. I hate this layout. Let's see how long before I take it down. :P
Fecking archives. As though anyone'd go to them. XD No worries.
What else... Aah yes, I chose the Sapporo snow festival for my Japanese research project.. I was *going* to do CLAMP and all their works and shtuff, but decided not to for various reasons. (Not enough printed information, in English at least, and it would be something I'd research on my *own.* But most likely I wouldn't the snow festival. Which is a sad thing!) Being Hannah, I'm still a bit iffy, of course. But I'm sure it'll turn out fine. ^_^

Wow. You all needed to see that. Uhm... I downloaded Utada Hikaru's "Final Distance," and it is beeyootiful! Highly reccomended. ::nods:: I hadn't heard anything by her before, but now that I have, I think I'll be looking for other songs. ::nodnodnod::
Oh, and I downloaded ep. 1 of Gokinjo Monogatari (Neighborhood Story)..! It's great! I'm in love! XD I was going to put the opening theme to it on the cd, but I couldn't find it. Saad.
I'm just a bundle of energy today, aren't I!
Oh! I got a new mattress, it came at 8am, and I'd only gone to bed at 1.30am, and so I got the mattress and went straight back to sleep and it is so FIRM and HIGH and wow. I can feel my back going back into place -- seriously, it's creeeepy. Creepy really should have five 'e's, doncha think? Creeeeepy. Creeeeepy. Hee.
What else what else what else. Ah yes, so, to finish my story, I went back to sleep and woke up at ONE IN THE AFTERNOON. And yesterday (hee) I woke up at 3 in the afternoon, and I didn't even go to bed late. I got, like, 13 hours sleep. ^,^ Catch-up sleep, say I!
I'm bored.

Leah told me I *had* to blog. So here I am.
I really have no idea what to say about The Movie... it was... good. Bad. Wonderful. Horrible. I loved it. I hated it. I laughed. I cried. And I'm really, really confused.
Seriously, they edited out so much that I can't say I'm not a bit sad. But not disappointed -- I had no expectations. I *will* say, however, that you HAVE to see it. Daniel Radcliffe (Harry) wasn't the best. (His agonized look, however, when Voldie flew through him -- did that happen in the book? am I losing my memory? -- was perfect and I can't WAIT to see him in Book-Movie 4 when he has the curse on him... sadistic? No, I just think it'd be a very TOUGH thing to act out, and I'm waiting to see how he copes. Anyway,) I do think he was good, though, and he'll get better. Ron, Hermione, Snape, ad Flitwick were PERFECT. Someone said that Oliver looked cute? He is. ^.~ Aand... here, i'll copy the email I sent L.
"i don't feel like talking about it much today, but as you know, i saw the movie. It was really odd, Leah! They changed so much... and I expected it, but... i dunno. i liked it -- it was really well done. Rupert Grint (Ron) and Emma Watson (Hermione) were great. Daniel Radcliffe (Harry) could have been better, but he was fine, too. And it was beautiful, the imagery. Being there on opening day was cool, too -- everyone clapped at parts, like when they won Quidditch, and when they won House Cup, and all that. And Snape is so fucking perfect. But I still feel... I don't know... disappointed? I can't say that, because I had no expectations. I just feel odd. That's why I think talking about it right now is stupid. I highly recommend it, and I'll see it again... but the fact is, the books were amazing, incredible, wonderful, and the movie was simply pretty good. But I really, really think you should see it -- it's beautiful, it really is. And seeing it all on screen is wonderful.
Huzzah!
-hali.
ps -- they cut out peeves! completely! And switched around all sorts of things, and the hat spoke out loud. It was odd.
pps -- i hope you don't mind me telling you too much about it. if, i dunno, you wanted to see it first. or something."
Yeeah. So. I disagree with the hat speaking aloud. I OBJECT, mister!
I'm so going to go see it again. ^,^
and that is that!

New layout!
Hah, I'm so lazy. I just stole a template and changed the colours. La~zy.

And Dolly-chan? You're so very welcome.

I just wasted so much time.

I decided I want to put lucky lady onto cherries.nu, and started archiving it all (WHICH IS SO FECKING BORING YOU WOULD NOT BELEIVE) onto layouts i'd made and saved for when i'd need them... and then i changed my fecking mind about putting it on cherriesnu.

And think of all the other wonderous things I could have been doing.

Incredible! I loved the Buffy musical ep, Once More With Feeling. I taped it, but somehow the end half got taped over. ::rolls eyes:: It's replaying Friday, though, so I'll retape it... (right after seeing the Harry Potter movie! *squeals*) I'll burn these mp3s into a cd, but if they decide to come out with a soundtrack, I'll probably buy that too. ^,^
There was an extra fortune cookie at dinner tonight, so I took it: :) You are kind-hearted and hospitable, cheerful and well-liked. :)
I bought two cd's today (Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack, and the Harry Potter soundtrack - which I have yet to listen to. ::grins:: My family thought I was mad, but they're all excited about the movie, too. Which is a good thing.) and a coat (it's really nice!!) and some press studs. ^,~ What a day.

Yaaay! ::dances:: I just pre-ordered tickets to the Harry Potter movie! Four-o-clock showing, November 16, General Cinema's Fenway theater! Woo! ^__________^
I'm so excited. ::boogies::

Halloween Sucks.
I swear, today has to be the worst Halloween ever. Sure, I've only had four (this'd be my fifth), but this year ab-so-lute-ly SUCKS. I get to school, everyone asks what I'm going to be -- for WHAT? Trick or treating of course. Ya. Like I automatically thought "school night, trick or treating. Same diff!" And even if I *HAD* thought of it beforehand, I have no friends to go with. (Get on with the sob story, Hana, you're making us yawn.) And this STUPID English project - we have to make a mask. I started making this REALLY nice one, paper machee and tin foil and all that good stuff. But I decided to do one out of cardboard instead -- it's BUTT UGLY. It doesn't really matter, she said you could use a paper plate as long as it filled the requirements.
Poo.
I seriously am going to go hysterical if this week doesn't get any better.

Bring out the Halloween decorations~!
Dad and Alex just put them up... yay. I love Halloween, and not just for the candy. (Though that is a bonus ^_^) But they forgot to buy candy at the shops today, so, the candy dish is very empty looking. Sad. Maybe I'll put some Creme Savers in there. I've had them since Alex's birthday. They're getting a bit old. ^.^;
Halloween should be fun this year... not. It's a school night. Woo.
School had a Halloween dance last friday -- I didn't go. :P
I wonder what I shall do. Sit at home and do my homework. My checkup is on Tuesday. At least it's not *on* Halloween Day.
Sii~gh.

::sigh:: Hi everyone. It's only been a week or so, but I'm feeling better enough to return to blogging. I haven't been crying lately, which is a good thing, but I've been getting headaches almost every day. Which is not such a good thing. I lost last weekend to recooperate, too (I had to go to an open house for Alex and college and blah). So, I'm extremely exhausted, drained, and all that. But I've been happier lately. Which is most *definitely* a good thing. Anyways, I'll try to return to normal bloggy activities. I know you're all thinking "What? Why is she being so melodramatic about this?" It hasn't felt like just ten days. October's crawling by so slowly. Oo; Anou... Yeah. I might not be blogging as much... I really have no idea.
Let's just see what happens, aa?

Okay, I feel as though I should amend yesterdays announcement. I've been acting... oddly lately. I don't know. I've been crying a lot, and while I cry at movies and such, I'm not a person that cries over what's going on in her own life. Only I have. Almost every second day, if not every day. I think what I really *don't* need right now is more responsibility, and it's become that blogging is feeling like a responsibility, like I *have* to say what happened that day, and so on. When I know I really don't. (I doubt anyone reads this anyway :P but that's not the point.) My blog was supposed to be something fun -- it can be, but for the most part, it's not anymore. So, I need to stop blogging for the reason that I don't need an added responsibility, or something I HAVE to do. I can't feel like "OH, if I don't go on the computer, I won't be able to say what happened and I haaave to~." I know It sounds odd, but there ya go.
And I've just been... strange, lately. I feel like everything I say is going to be taken in the wrong way, or something's not going to work out... and I've been a bit paranoid. But I'm still Hannah, and nobody ever notices. Which doesn't help.
But anyway, that isn't what I came to say. I came to say that I think the words "mental breakdown" were a bit melodramatic. (I wrote it after going into a little crying fit yesterday.) I really, really don't want *anyone* to worry about me, and I think that maybe that would have happened if I don't make this statement. Or whatever. I know my online friends, at least, read this, and I don't want them, most of all, to worry.
Long story short, I will be gone for a while. I don't think I'll be opening AIM at all... But I'll probably be checking my email most if not every day, so please just say hi if you get the chance. I'd be delighted. ^_^ I might even come on to say random things every now and then, most likely I will, but I want to be saying this so I *don't* feel like I absolutely have to, or suffer the consequences.
Aa... that's about all I need to say, I think. If I think of anything else, I'll be sure to tell you. I'll see you guys as soon as I get my act together again.
::opens up a pink umbrella and hops off the edge of the internet::

E-to ne... I'm having a bit of a mental breakdown right now. You don't need to know any more about it, and it's not anything for you to worry about, I'll be back really soon, after I calm my nerves... but if I drop off the edge of the internet for quite some time, that's why. ::nods::
Ja, mata ne...

As I said so eloquently to Yoshiko:
carved sushi (5:22:01 PM): omfg. ::downloads::
XO Isn't that incredible, though? It'd be so amazing to get something like that done. Ochiba Anime is amazing. I feel sort of bad for just downloading it... or something. Oo;

hahahaha~! using my POWERS OF PERSUASION, I only had to do the floor today, and then by Friday have the rest of the room done~! That rawks, ne? XD So, all homework is done, all obligations done..... woot.
Hah, the emporers new groove is on at 7. I am *so* watching it. XD
I watched kodocha this morning, just after I woke up. It was fun~ky!

Okay, I have to, like, clean my room before going on the computer... I have to research Burma right now for English, so this'll be quick.... meh. I don't wanna clean my room.

Wai! Yami no Matsuei rules! I can't download episode nine from Ochiba right now. Oh well. Mou, and I think I screwed up at BakaMX, so if I did, like, something really evilie... gomen nasai! ;_;
What else can I talk about... nothing really. I'm kind of bored. (WAI.)

Me:
carved sushi (12:31:34 PM): hah, i tripped across [an N-17] yaoi [fanfiction]... and mum comes up behind me AT THAT MOMENT. she keeps doing that, it's creepy. she just sort of laughed and i'm like "what?" cause even *I* hadn't read it was a graphic one yet and she's like "nothing, just wanted to see what you're doing." and walked off. ::shrug:: i don't really care much, think of alex-'neechan's clintism! XD but it's still annoying. I mean, talk about timing!

So. Last night I went to the variety show. It was pretty swank -- I bought a CD from the opening act, I'm listening to right now. (Only $5, and they're really good.) Fun. Ky.

Hey! Ho! Wasabi!!
Nothing really happened today. ::cough:: It was pretty dang boring. Buut, it's the start of a new weekend now and I am happy! Ready to type mindlessly at a computer all night? YOU BETCHA! Woo!
There's actually a Talent Show tonight at school, and I was thinking of going, but I'm not sure. It's at 7:30 or something. I would want to go with friends, and I don't really *have* any, soo... ^.~ Ano... I might go. But probably not. (Wow, I'm so literate today.)
The Photography teacher was absent today, so I just spent A block hanging around the school. We had to sign in, but then we could just... whatever. I was thinking of going home, it's about a 15 minute walk in a 50 minute period, but I realised I'd have, like, TEN minutes at home. Yawn. If I lived a bit closer, maybe. I think Freshman aren't allowed to leave campus anyway. Woe!
Oh. Haha, and I did get a 75 on my Maths quiz. She said, however, that since I'd been there for hardly any time she would make it a B. ::dances::
And That Is All, the girl said.

Okay. I'm extremely lazy today, so I'll just copy what I've told various people about my day, in chronological order and edited slightly:
carved sushi (5:38:21 PM): i have a japanese quiz sometime soon... i forget when. XD it's on phrases, we had like a whole week to learn "gomen nasai" and "konban wa" and such. ^^;
carved sushi (5:40:14 PM): XD yep, it was fine by me! but we also learned things like "her name is ___," and things like that. we should (stress on *should* ::rolls eyes::) learn months and days and colours and numbers and all that good stuff soon, which i don't really know. so that'll be a bit more interesting. XD
carved sushi (5:44:01 PM): apparantly today is "national coming out day." there were posters all over school today (the gsa put them up) and the atrium was full of billboards and such. i was looking down at them from one of the windows near my history classroom and there was this big thing that said "I don't kiss you to be radical. I don't love you to make a point." I thought that was swank. (If you don't know what swank is, look it up. It's My Word, and noone ever knows what it means. ::pout::)
carved sushi (5:44:31 PM): it was also the Activities Fair. ::bounces:: We went around to all the stands and joined all the clubs and stuff... fun~!
carved sushi (5:46:19 PM): yeah, i joined this thing... which is basically student-run community service, the Debate team, the Cross Country Skiing group (they'll teach you how to ski, good thing for me XD alex's friends are running it), umm... a school newspaper... and I think that's it. I picked up a thing on Normal community service, some things of which i will be doing, probably... ::nod nod::
OH and, I didn't tell anyone this, but i think i'm flunking english. :P Naw, it wont be that big a deal, I can pull my grade up, but... yeeah. I don't think I did well on the quiz today. ::shrug:: I'm not TOO worried, but, it's a bit annoying. I, to be honest, think I was all cocky at the beginning of the year, like, "Yeah, I can do this, No worries!" XD Serves me right.
Anou... that's it. XD

Okay, Today's Blabberings:
School was pretty cool. I'm feeling a bit better about Maths, and just things in general. I did THREE prints (of the same photo, I still have to perfect it -- figure out the right filter, exposure time, blah) in Photography, so I'm all YAA about that. XD Ah... in Health it was gross, it was anti-chewing tobacco, and there were all these photos... ::shivers:: I mean LOTS, and they were really gross... peoples' jawbones and everything. Someone's like "Who has first [lunch]~" and I did. Silly me, I had pepperoni pizza too. ::crinkles nose:: But it was okay, I guess, I'm not that easily grossed out. I was reading The Odyssey, too. So my mind was elsewhere. Waa. History was fun, we had this game, where you were either a Dot or a Non-Dot. The Dots would have to try to get in a group with ONLY Dots, and if they were all Dots, that group would win. The Non-Dots had to try and get in a group with the Dots. The teacher would tell you secretly, and you could lie to people about what you were, and everything. It was REALLY swank, I was a Non-Dot. It was so easy, there were these two girls and I sidled up, all cute, like, "Are you guys dots?" sounding all nervous and stuff. And then one of the girls left for another group and the whole time there was this other girl, who was a dot but they wouldn't beleive her ("YOUR NOSTRILS FLARE WHEN YOU SAY I AM A DOT") and I just stood in the background. So, at the end, when he (the teacher) was pointing at groups and saying "raise your hands, dots," the girl stuck with us, even though we're like "NOOO." Anyways, all three of them, including the girl they didn't beleive, raised her hand.... but I didn't. XD It was so funny they're like "OMIGOD, HANNAAAH!" and the whole class was like "ooooooh, diss!" It was so funny. XD They were pushovers. >P Speaking of pushovers, our new Physics teacher is NOT. He's a really good teacher, but he's NOT a pushover. And he cancelled the Sci-Fi project! I have so many objections, I STAYED UP UNTIL TWELVE AM DOING THAT FREAKING TAPE. But we'll do it for Extra Credit, my group decided. XD Very *little* extra credit, it sounds like, but who cares. XO
Aaaaaand that's about it. Mata ashita!

Yaay! Everything's fixed, everything's working~! I'm all happy now. XD

Stupid blogger wont post.
Stupid printer wont print.
STUPID COMPUTER I'M BEING KICKED OFF OF. TO FIX PRINTER.

Woah. Okay, I know I've been acting a bit strangely lately, whether or not it's been showing up in my blog I don't know, but y'all should know that I'm all better now. ^_^ So, back to babbling about school, na?!
Anyone who's interested in anything remotely interesting, zone out... now. Today I had a Maths quiz, and I've only had two classes in this new Maths Honours class counting the first ever day. It was on "All the assignment sheets," she said, only I found out today it was on all the assignment sheets EXCEPT the one that I got. Wow. And it was one of those four-question-quizzes, where every question *really* counts? I mean, face it, if you get one question wrong, you get a 75, which is not a *bad* grade, persay, bet to be honest it's not the best in the world, and certainly something *I* don't want to ring in the new year with. I probably got partial credit on three of them and maybe I got one of them right, but I have no idea how I'm doing. So that's odd, but, quite frankly, I'm not worried. Just annoyed that the god damned teacher made me take it. :P It's parent-teacher night tomorrow, in which they're forbidden to discuss grades with the parents which makes ME go AWW YEAH I don't know about the rest of you. I don't think I'm doing terribly, but I would prefer it if the teachers talked to us about our grades *first* so that I could give my parents a heads up that I'm not doing so well, rather than they coming home and telling me so. But anyways, it's not that sort of a night, so that's good. But Alex also has a schedule, so Dad will probably go on hers and Mum on mine. Woot! Also, I had my Japanese quiz today, which I think I did okay on -- it was like, "IF YOU STEP ON SOMEONE'S TOE WHAT DO YOU SAY WRITE IT IN HIRIGANA IN THE SPACE PROVIDED USING WORDS FROM THE WORD BOX!!" So it was pretty simple. Yay! But I zoned out while other people were taking it and was just, like, watching my teacher and... mou, me being paranoid, I think I freaked her out. XD So she had me say this little thing (Introduce yourself in Japanese, pass the ball to someone else and say what's your name.) She had me start that off -- touche! XO Heh, anyways, I really hope I *didn't* freak her out because I would feel like a weirdo. I was all thinking about Maths, too, so I was probably looking all evilie. Waa~! I feel bad now! Anyways, that was Japanese. My Homeroom/History teacher just called to remind me about Parent-Teacher night. He's such a good boy, na? XD I would never do well as a Homeroom teacher -- I'd completely forget all about things like that. ^^;; I'd be like "Huh? Homeroom? I HAVE A HOMEROOM CLASS?!! ...Whoops!!!!!" :O I had very little homework tonight, I did it all in about an hour. So Bu-ya! I think I need to get off the computer in an hour from now, so I might do some note-taking for English. (I only just realised we're allowed to use notes on the quiz, and I hadn't taken notes while reading the Odyssey. We're reading Oedipus next, so I'll be sure to take notes during THAT. ^^;;;) Uhm... I think that's all. Oh! I brought my negatives/contact sheet/first print home from Photography class tonight, to show Dad. Anyways, I should have done another print today, but I had to go to my locker to get my photo paper, then I came back and stared at my negatives for, oh, about an HOUR (not really :P) and then there was only the Saunders enlargers left and i don't know how to use a fecking SAUNDERS, so I waited for an Omega to free up but it never DID and... sigh. Oh well. I should start on the next shooting project, though. I think this Saturday would be a good day, because I want Dad to be home (I'm freaked out about breaking his camera and if he's there.. I dunno, it's better than "I'M HOME" "DAD I BROKE YOUR CAMERA") and I want to do it at Daytime. (It's due next Monday -- basically it's "take reshoots of bad pictures" which is almost all of my film. :P But that's okay.)
Aa. So that's life for me right now. I can almost *feel* my personality changing, which is a bit creepy. But I don't necessarily think it's for the better/worse. It just is. ^_^ Don't worry, I'll still be the same Genki Hali I've always been! ::reassuring herself:: YepYep!
That's it for now. I know, you're all so sad. Wai.

Mmm. I left before the movie began yesterday -- I was in the theatre, but I left. I have my reasons, but I don't feel like blabbing about it right now.
Waah, I'm working on a layout right now (just a random one, I dunno what I'll use it for) and it's really tedious. XO

PINK MOON NICK DRAKE
I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get you all
It's a pink moon
It's a pink moon
Pink, pink, pink, pink
Pink, pink moon.
Pink, pink, pink, pink
Pink moon
I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get you all
It's a pink moon
It's a pink moon.

Lovely song.

Anyways, I did the Museum assignment. Wooo. Fun. It wasn't *that* bad, but it wasn't exaclty a thrill a minute.
So, I *should* be leaving now. At about 6:30 we're eating dinner at this place across the road. It's not really fancy, it's like an indoors market. It's swank. Anyways, the movie doesn't start until 7:45. So I'll probably leave *at* 6:30 and be "fashionably late." I'm usually, like, ten minutes early, but I don't feel like it tonight. I'm sick of always waiting around for people.

Mou. I don't know what to saay. ::skips around the room::

Shit. It's doing the archive thing again.
It's ultra-annoying because i KNOW the archives are there, they're just not coming up to the public. :P
::sigh::

I have to go to the MFA today for English. YAWN. Then I'm going to dinner/movie with a bunch of friends, just down the road... we're going to this old movie theater thing, that plays mostly independent and old movies. I've seen Being John Malkovich, Dogma, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon there. We're watching Funny Girl, or something like that. :/ Oh well, it should be fun. XD

Wai, and I *did* work on Marmalade Kisses! I think I added... two more character descriptions. Woo!

Mmm. I'm incredibly *bored.* Mum's making dinner, Dad's watching a movie, and Alex and I are both on our computers.
Wooo.
I made a Manga-Wish-List earlier today. It's SO not complete -- but I stopped because it was getting ridiculously long and I was getting ridiculously embarrased. ^^;;;
Waa~. I need money. Dude, I'm so bored I'm thinking of getting off the computer... or even working on cherriesnu. (ohNO!)
I think I'll work on maamareedo... XD

o~kay! geekstar.org didn't want to work, so I've gone back to using just a plain old cherriesnu email address!!
hana@cherries.nu will work fine. thanks for all your patience! XD

Okay. Since yesterday was Daddy's birthday and I couldn't do the all-night-to-myself thing (we watched Momentum -- it was pretty good) I'm giving today ALL FOR ME. Tomorrow, during the daytime, we'll be going to the MFA (for an English assignment) and then at about 6pm i'm going to dinner and a movie with a couple of friends, just down the street. We'll be getting home late. :P So on MONDAY I'll be doing all my homework. Woo!
Gravi scripts! ::tackles::

Yeeeah. XD Go Suzumi-san!

But dude. He's POPULAR. There's been SEVEN GUESTBOOK ENTRIES TODAY.
Maybe that'll be the interesting fact. Hmmm.

XD This is very... silly. This person has obviously *not* done their studying. Anime has many different genre's. It's sad you can only talk about the few, more popular -- and dubbed -- series. Wai, maybe they DO know more than I'm giving them credit for. But the fact is this is an anti-something page and BOO TOO YOU. XO Here are some quotes I'd like to defend.
"So listen, Alot of people who watch these cartoons are adults, i wonder why they do." Okay. Anime... is Japanese. Let's get that known. And Japanese culture... is not the same as Western culture. Anime is *not* *only* *for* kids. Like I said, do ya bloody research! There are .so.many. genre's to anime and manga, and I *admit* that I'm not an expert on all this. But, I do know that acting as though it's the Japanese equivalent of American cartoons is a huge understatement. And the reason I'm defending this is... because I /like/ anime. If someone made an anti-baseball site when you loved playing baseball, would you try and defend it? I think so!
...and go Yoshi. XD

Quiz-ette:
when was the last time you...
cried: ooh, that was last... friday, i think it was, when i burst into tears at school.
been sarcastic: XD Always.
felt stupid: Today when I crossed the road. I always feel stupid then. But oooh, drivers get me pissed off. This one fucker didn't turn on his FUCKING indicator until he was right at the corner (i stand next to it, bla) and so i was going to have to wait for another ten FUCKING hours (yes this sort of thing pisses me off a HELL of a lot) but I gave the driver a death glare and I GUESS the person behind him saw because he slowed down so I could go quickly across the road. XD Pedestrian Rage!
hugged someone: This morning, before going to school. Mum.
had a serious talk: Always. Most serious was probably... last friday, to leah. But she wouldn't have taken me seriously, I basically told her not to.
missed someone: All the time?
someone said "i love you": And meant it?
And no, that wasn't the interesting thing either.

Wow. So. I have muchly to say... last night, I did do all my homework, EXCEPT English: I only read one of the two books/chapters we were supposed to. Naughty Hali! I know I know, but what can ya do. Anyways, I still was up until midnight doing homework. During the break in which I wrote the entry, I studied my hiragana stroke order also. XD It kind of worked...! Which is good. XD E~to... what else. Aa, Mum forced me to take a fourty-five minute break for dinner. I forget if I had a shower. O.O I'm pretty sure I did. About 75% Oo; And I need to format the SciFi for y'all to read. It's great! XD I taped my voice doing it, too, with the music... it's really funny! It's not *that* great, but it was kind of funny. Like, after [SPOILER!] Wombie dies, I play that song from Little Voice where what's-his-face screams "IT'S OVER!" XD I need to get some of this onto the computer for y'all to hear. It's great~! But what pissed my off really bad, was that our Physics teacher didn't even COLLECT the Physics Homework Sheet he gave us. AND, he gave us no time to talk to our group (he went over a fecking QUIZ), AAAAND he gave us an extension for the peice-together-draft thing. I am SO pissed. I talked to my English teacher, though, said that I didn't get to finish the reading, and she said it was fine. We went over our project anyways. Blaa. We're going to write our own Odyssey. Woo! And that's basically been my day. I made a print in Photography, of a picture I took (duh) of a bunny-made-of-shells. It turned out pretty well... wait... is that the scanner calling me? XD Too bad, scanner, it's at school. Aa, it's still calling me. Yes, I have a lot of things I need/want to scan. NEVER GUNNA HAPPEN, YO~! XD
I promised something interesting. D'you know how effing HARD it is to think of something *interesting* when all that happens is school? No, that wasn't the interesting thing. It's my Dad's birthday today. No, that wasn't interesting either.
Hmmmmmmm~~.
You'll want to sit down... this'll take a while.

I wrote this in my notebook yesterday.
4/10/01
It is 6:05, and I still have a whole lot of homework to do.
Boo.
I've done Maths (SO HARD!), Japanese, and Physics. Pah -- I didn't understand Maths OR Physics. What pisses me off is I've been doing homework for THREE FRICKING HOURS and I'm still not done. I need to peice together our physics Sci-Fi story, read for English, and write a rough draft paper for History.
Piss.
PissPissPiss.
So I'm allowing myself to have a small break, but I can't figure out what to do: have a shower, or study my hiragana stroke order. (I find that both clear my mind very well. I need to have a shower because I smell bad, but I also need to study stroke order because I suck at it. Wai.)
Mmm. School is oh-so-much fun, na?! Wai, I so couldn't do a sport: not only because I SUCK ASS, but because they only finish now, and gawd how hard homework would be to do in that case! Maybe I can get mum to give me no-bedtime. Bedtimes are stupid. Then again, I think i'm really the only one reinforcing it. XD I think Mum's fine with me staying up late as long's it for homework. Dude.
And this [is] eating up time. I'll tell you something interesting tomorrow. Promise.
(END)

Mou. When's the weekend.
I switched Maths classes... which I'm sort of regretting, just because it sound SO difficult. Well, no. It just sounds harder than Imp. XD Aahm... what else. I dunno. I'm just generally BLECK. I've done enough of my homework so I wouldn't get screamed at if I don't do any more, BUT I probably should do more. Just because. ^.^
And that's about it! I can't *beleive* how genki I was yesterday... n.n;

Omigosh! I can read the hiragana in this layout...!
fejaoihgeoano! It says "RAIN." (Or "CANDY" but i think it's "RAIN" due to the title of the page.)
Waiiiiiii!
::loves learning::

OHyeah! And because I've been chattering so much about my academic life lately and decided you guys care, I want to say that I had very little homework and GOT IT ALL DONE. Bu-ya! I think I did more than I needed to for Physics... I answered the questions in the photocopy he gave us, but I don't think we were meant to -- I think just the ones on the sheet, which I also did. Oops. It's four fecking pages long, too. >,< Ahm.. and Maths, which I probably didn't HAVE to do, but I did anyways. (Ah'm a GOOD girl!) And then for Japanese is just to read over this dialogue... blah.
BUFFY'S ON TONIGHT! JOIGAHGOIAJGOIEJPOIGKO. HOW THE FECK DOES SHE COME ALIVE AGAIN! GHAOHEGOIAWJEOIGJSLKD.

Woo. Yesterday was really odd. Our Physics teacher quit, he's going back to his old job. Which is -- get this -- research for intelligence. (As in CIA. O.O) Or something like that. I'd say more, but I feel odd talking about other people on my blog. Umm... and I just need a few more signatures before I go off to Maths Honors. Woah. I'll miss Maths IMP. Yeah, so, I need, like, a thousand signatures. The Head of Department is my old English teachers' husband - sugoi! I *loved* my old English teacher! I went to visit my old school today.. that was okay. We had a half day, so I had a picnic with a couple of friends. That was okay, I left early because.. I dunno. It was three girl friends of mine, from my old school, and one of their friends... I don't like him much. Which would have been fine, only I'm sure he feels the same way right on back. :P It was awkward. That, and one of those friends was in one of her Catty Moods. Wai, the girl who has the friend who doesn't like me and i don't like him just came by to drop off the blanket and my Japanese textbook. (Which is Australian -- it's so cool, we were listening to tapes of it today.... XD) Umm... what else. I've lost my train of thought now.
Oh well.

Alex's friends are okay... they're pretty nice. ::shrugs:: It was one of her friends I know really well and some other dude. I played video games with them. But right now I'm really quiet... I don't know. I feel odd. Almost sad or something, but there's no reason why..! O.O
Wai. Today Mum made Onion Focaccia and I put some pepper on the onions. Of course it baked off and you couldn't taste it, but I still feel accomplished. I haven't done something that childish and mischievous for a long time.
A peice of chenille came off my scarf and I've got it tied to my finger.
We got velvet cushions and I fell in love with them. =3 There's a purple one and two caramel-y ones. I stole a caramel one and put it on my bed. Mum found it and put it back on the couch. Poo.
The Iron Chef is on TV and "I Should Be So Lucky" (Kylie Minogue) is playing on Winamp. A truly momentous event.
Huzzah!

wai, minna! i hope you like this new layout -- halichan worked on it pretty hard. the little picture to the right (if you have 800x600+) is of Aya from Weiss Kreuz. I stole the image from those manga scanlations that have been floating about... I have no idea where I got mine, they've just been sitting on my computer, but I know Nameless has them. :O If you want to learn more about Weiss, here is a very very good place to go. XO
Apart from that... Alex-'neechan's friends are arriving and I want to skedaddle to my room and do my homework. XD Bai!

text-transform. remember that.
i had somthing to say... what was it.
oh well. back to rambling for me.

we got cotonelle. XD you know, the polite toilet paper that talks about "not wanting to rub you the wrong way?" XD yeah. well. i'll leave it at that.

mayo. i still have some homework: study for Physics quiz, Read four books/chapters of The Odyssey, re-do Odysseus Timeline, and Assignment 2.3 for History.

Whoo! Fun. And Alex's friends are coming over. Well. Only two of them. But still. >,<

Sorry to grumble... but I am so incredibly bored. I mean, really. Really. BORED.

...that's all.

okay. new email address: AGAIN. pixigirl's not working properly.
katana@geekstar.org
Leah told me about it. I don't really care what geekstar.org's like, as long as its email's good. :P ::goes to click around it anyways::
I'm thinking of getting a ryuuzoku.net forward, though. Ahh, the life of a halichan.

My Physics Assignment. (My notes in brackets)

15 First Project - Sceince Physiction [ha. ha.]
15.1 Description
You will write a science fiction short story with 2 other classmates that illustrates good understanding of some of the Physics concepts we've worked on so far in class.

15.2 Guidelines
-Length: This story will be 500-1000 words (about two pages typed, double spaced)
-Physics: Your story needs to include all of the following concepts:
displacement, instantaneous speed, instantaneous acceleration, average speed, average acceleration, time, time interval.
and any 2 of the following concepts:
relative velocity, measurement uncertainty, error bars, gravity. [we chose measurement uncertainty and gravity.]
-Understanding: When I say it must "demonstrate a good understanding" I don't mean you can just use these terms somewhere and be done with them. You must use and write about them in a few sentences in a way that shows me you know what they mean. Where appropriate, you should give examples with numbers and units. Nothing you say should contradict the Physics definition of one of these concepts. At the same time, I'll give you no credit if you just state that definition in your story. [well well well.]
-Group Writing: You'll be writing this together with 2 others. [The people in my group are from my elementary school.] This isn't as odd as it sounds; almost all scientific writing is done by groups. [That's very interesting, but who said it was odd in the first place?] Some of the work you'll do together, in class or out, and some you'll do individually and then meet to combine pieces.
The three members of your group will have different important roles:
1. brainstorming master
2. revision master [Me.]
3. presentation master [The other two fought over this.]

GET THE PHONE NUMBERS OF YOUR GROUP MEMBERS. YOU WILL NEED TO CONSULT WITH THEM OUTSIDE OF CLASS. [Okay, okay, don't shout.]

15.3 Timeline
Here's how we'll get this done.
1. Brainstorming 9/24 or 9/25: Today, you'll spend 25 minutes in class brainstorming about your story. Concentrate on answering the following four questions
(a) What Physics concepts will the story include?
(b) What is the plot of the story (rough outline)? [Earth destroyed by global warming because noone knows anything about Physics, family of four goes to the moon and meets a giant alien wombat Physics freak.]
(c) What is the setting and what's the got to do with the plot?
(d) Who are the characters and why are they necessary to the plot?
One of your group members (the brainstorming master) will manage this activity. [S]He will take notes in his [her] lab journal while you are brainstorming. [S]He will go home and use the notes to type up a page or so answering the four questions. [S]He will print out enough copies of that page for everyone in the group plus the teacher. [She didn't. XD] This is due in class on 9/25 or 9/26. [OR? What do you mean, OR?]
2. Rough Draft [What I just finished doing] 9/25 or 9/26: Spend 10 minutes in class dividing the plot into three equal sections: the beginning, the middle, and the end [Me]. Assign a section to each of the members in your group. Each goes home and writes the section and brings in copies for everyone in the group plus the teacher. [Oops. ::prints three more copies::] This is due in class on 10/1 or 10/2. [Or. What's with this "or."]
3. Revision 10/1 or 10/2: Spend another 25 minutes in class reading aloud to eachother the story so far and making revisions. Focus first on fixing Physics errors. Focus second on grammar and jumpy plot or style stuff resulting from writing individually. Focus last on making it a really excellent work of science fiction. One of your group members (the revision master [That's me!]) will will [sic] manage this activity. She [Thankyou.] will take notes in her lab journal about all the great ideas and decisions you have made as a group. She will go home and use the notes pluss all the section rough drafts to craft a final version of the story. She will bring in a copy of the revised rough draft for everyone in the group plus the teacher. [Fun. And I like the way he says it: she WILL bring in a copy... she WILL take notes... XD] This is due in class on 10/4. [...]
4. Presentation 10/4: Spend 15 minutes in class reading the story aloud to group and making decisions about how to present the story in class. One of your group members (the presentation master) will manage this activity. [S]He will discuss with other members how to present the story (with pictures? with mood music? with props? with puppets or mime acting-out?) [Music and puppets. S]He will then read the final version of the story aloud to the class. [S]He will also answer any questions from the audience about the Physics involved or the plot. This will happen in class on 10/9.

15.4 Grading
There are 4 stages in the timeline, and you'll get a grade on each. You are supposed to demonstrate understanding of 9 Physics concepts. I'll be looking for them first. If they are all there and all make sense, you'll get 90% of the credit. If your story is reasonably well written [Trying to monopolize the school curriculum are we now] and interesting, you're eligible for the remaining 10% of the credit.
The final project grade is an average of the four stage credits. This is one of your "group work" grades.
NOTE: Like any other assignment in this class, if any part of it is late, it is worth 1/2 credit.
Also, your group members will secretly [::puts on Goldfinger song::] grade you at the end of the project cycle. This counts as the same as a homework assignment.

/Physics Assignment Sheet.

Woo. Fun. Sorry for all the sarcastic comments... XD I'll put the final story up here when it's done, maybe.
I have to go to my History, now. Sorry.

Grr. I couldn't get it to work. OH WELL. You'll be stuck with this one. The only way I could get the layout to work was to butcher it... and I really didn't want to do that.
I'll use it some other day.

Yeah, I said I was going to do my homework straight away, but I need to wake up first. Waa. So I'll be on for about an hour... and I realised I'm really *not* dreading Monday. Woo! It feels like Sunday today, too, which is good. (Tomorrow will feel like Saturday, though... >,O)
Wai, last night I made a layout that I'm really proud of. I'm not sure how it looks on other screen sizes (I use 1024x768), but I made sure that it'll fit on pretty much anything smaller.... I mean, obviously, if you managed to set it to 300x400 (is that even possible? :P) it's not going to work, but nothing is at that size. So anyways. I hope you like it.... you can ignore all the text, I just put random things in there to take up space. I have no idea what Lucky Thing i'll use it for. i wanted to use it for lucky lady... but I have no idea how to turn it into a blog layout..! ^.^
Guess what I'll be working on for the next year. :P

Wow. I just spilled the story to Leah and BOY was I thorough. Sorry, Leah... that must have been boring/melodramatic/stupid/annoying. Seriously. I just needed to blab on to someone. ::sigh::

MOU. Everywhere I go today, I seem to be finding "shounen-ai eew" sites. XO I'm not saying everyone has to be a fucking FAN, but "eew"? Oooh don't even get me started. ::death glare::

Mmm. I'm hungry. All I've eaten is some meusli, cookies, and fries. And that sounds like a lot, but it's really not. They were tiny portions, quite honestly. In the morning I was so tired I couldn't swallow, I had about two bites, and the chips were leftovers, so it was about a dozen. ^.^

Buffy's on.

Wai. Today was interesting. I wont go into too much detail, but basically I ended up bursting out crying during lunch for no reason. Twice: Once in front of two girls in my Maths class, and once in front of my sister.
Blaa.

But halichan's feeling much better, and ready to move on. ::switches on nelly furtado cd::

Mou. I talked to my Maths teacher and said how I was thinking of switching out. So I need to talk to my guidance counselor during Monday at lunch. And after school I need to make contact sheets in photography. I ended up flipping on, like, a bit of white light from the filter thing and couldn't turn it off. But nobody's prints were ruined, thank GOD. That's when the whole crying thing started. (I felt like I was going to burst out in tears ALL day.) Wai, anyways, Monday will be... interesting. Kya~.

So, I want to stop babbling on about how terrible and annoying my life has been. It's odd, reading this it's like my life IS school. I guess it sort of is. But I'm still not doing absolutely WONDERFUL. Or whatever. Bleck, I thought I said I was going to shut up about school.

I think I've fallen in love with the song "Futari no Ginza Sanshoume" from Bakuretsu Hunters... XD It's great! MITE MITE MITE! Wai, I don't know anything about B-Hunters, though... I think I might have some translated manga in one of my old magazines... MixxZine, or something like that. Eh. It's an anime series, too, right? Quite perverted, I hear. Anyways, I don't really know anything substantial about the series... so if anyone wants to tell me more about the series, feel free to. Hint, hint. XD

Wai. I must go do my homework. No, I haven't done it yet. Kyaa, there's still school tomorrow. Poo. Oh well. I really don't have TOO much homework... some Physics, Maths, English... blah, the boring norm. XD

Wish me Luck!

Woah. I just printed what seems like a whole pad full of anime lyrics... XD Oops. Actually, I'm surprised. I hadn't thought I knew of that many songs... O.O
Wai, must hide them before my parents find out... :P I don't think they'll care, persay, but they'll laugh and I'll be embarrassed. ^^;;

OOF. I still have homework. HOMEWORK.

Woah.
Dude, what the hell happened to my archives.
::starts freaking out:: I NEED my archives. I LOVE my archives. (Shut up.) I'm serious, I do NOT need anything going wrong right now... ::kicks computer again and again and again and again::

One Minute Later:
Oh. Nevermind.

Another Minute Later:
?
It seems to be showing none of the archives on the front page list thing, but blogger hasn't *deleted* my old posts... they still exist, and all. ::frowns::
Mou.

Dolly-chan... I just have to say, I really love that "TELL THE STORY OF A LIFETIME" title bar you have. I've always loved those sort of catch phrases things, not neccessarily cliche's, but I mean... I dunno. Like, some random phrase, one you thought up or a cliche, or whatever. They pop into my head, and I just feel like I have to use it somehow. Most often in a layout or something like that.
Mou. Anyways, That was random. I just feel like I'm losing touch with you somehow and that scares me, because I consider you a very good friend of mine. ;_; I *know* I'm losing touch with shawnie... which is sad, but... I don't know. Not In the same way. Or something. I feel so insensitive now, but it's almost... like, it was inevitable, and we're both changing (more likely me) and it's just a thing that'll happen. With you, I think it'd be a matter of bad connections and laziness if we lost touch. So. Wai.
Maybe I should be chatting to you on twogirls if that's what I'm fearing... :P

Hmm.
Halichan is bored.

Well. Today was slightly eventful and I am very chatty, but trying to calm down. I can't decide/fortell whether or not I'm going to be really chatty in a rambling way, in a constructive way, or end up leaving it pretty much at this.
Wai. I woke up early today to go to seminar, and I got to school, and after walking around a fair bit (I forgot the room number) I bumped into a friend who said it didn't start until next week. Poo.
Then I walked downstairs to go to my locker, and was walking down the pathway outside. (To get to my locker I head through the quad, so I went outside to the front of the building -- the nearest staircase, which was nearly three feet away, let there -- then I went down the pathway up a little stoop down another pathway, through the quad, through the caf, and down the hall then to my locker across from the bathroom.) And it was *gorgeous.* There was someone playing their acoustic guitar, with a few people listening, someone smoking on the feild, a few people chatting, someone biking down the road... it wasn't the normal pack of activity and screeching, because it was in the middle of one of the early-morning classes, about 8:00 or so. (School starts at 8:30.) Instead, it was this calm, beautiful moment... the weather was a beaut, too, because it was on the chilly side, just as I like it, but a general warmish wind... lovely. And because of the time of day it was, the *lighting* was perfect: not too dark, not too bright. Just... beautiful. In every way imaginable.
And then the guitarist hit a sour note.
I swear it all went downhill from there, just like in a movie. He stumbled with the notes, and I tripped going up the staircase, and... just everything went downhill. It was pretty darn odd.
Wai, but in Japanese, we had our hiragana quiz... which I think I did okay on. Then we went to the Language Lab. One word: SUGOI. It is so funky, I absolutely love it. It's got all these little booths, and they have their headsets and the TV and the tape recorder... everything. XD Swank! So we practiced reading dialogue from the book, after sensei gave us a little chat and everything... I wasn't so good at it. But that's okay -- noone heard, except sensei *if* she was listening to me ever. XD That's the one thing -- noone can hear you! And I like that. ^_^ You could sort of hear the echoes of other people talking, but not enough to disrupt. Or really make a difference, if you're doing the work yourself. Heh, a kid in my Maths group was like, "We were in the language lab, and I was figuring out how to say something" (he takes... Spanish, I think) "and I didn't know she was listening, and then she goes "[His name]? Why aren't you speaking?" XD I took lots of "meditative breaks." ::cough:: More like me being confused and feeling stupid. ^^;;; Anyways, it was all cool. I think I'm in love with the Language Lab, though. For real, it's so effing SWANKY!
I'm not sure whether I'll be on tomorrow. I'm sort of like, I need some time... just to be. I have to do my homework tomorrow (I am SO not doing it tonight) and then I'll probably veg out... maybe watch some Yuu Yuu Hakusho. Maybe I'll even go down to the video shop and rent some more Neon Genesis Evangelion DVDs.... XP Then again, this all depends on how well Alex and Dad are feeling... XO But I'll probably not be on the computer...
Watch as it's all I do tomorrow...
Really though, I'm glad for the day off. I really need it. Mental health day. XP

Daddy just got his wisdom teeth out, Alex has a cold, and Mummy's out.

Yeah. All in all, I've had a pretty crappy day.

And I know it's their pain, not mine, blahblahblah, but wai. And I've been really antisocial today. Not grumpy, just... antisocial. >,< OH, and I left my History folder at school. Which is no excuse for not doing it, because we got the homework yesterday (due tomorrow). So, my lunch will be full of... homework. Fun.

Learning hiragana is not so much fun. We have a quiz tomorrow, so I'm practice-testing myself, and I keep forgetting how to write very very SIMPLE ones, like 'ku' or 'te.' And it's annoying me greatly.

XD Though, flipping through Chobits and pretending I'm studying my hiragana *is* absolutely great. Well, I guess I do sort of study it at the same time. It's just not terribly difficult. :P

Woh. I was, like, all weird yesterday (don't ask) and had this terrible burst of inspiration for a Schuldich-fic. WAI. Why do I only get inspiration for series I know NOTHING about. ;_; I only know enough to READ fics, brain, not WRITE them..! ::sobs into scarf::

I have, like, no homework. I'm... "done." (I think I still have a chapter/book of The Odyssey to read, but sshh. If you don't tell I won't ^.~) I had Maths, which was so frickin easy it doesn't count, and English.. woo.

Haa, learning hiragana is so much FUN! We have a quiz Wednesday, and I'm "studying" by flipping through my Mintna tankoubon... XD It was so funny, I was reading it aloud all slowly, saying:
"Ka..... wa...... i..... i... HEY! YO! KA-WA-I-I! KAWAII! SUGOI~~~~~~~~~~~!" and started dancing and all... XD Bu-Ya!

Wohoh, halichan's very energetic today. O.O

Wooo!
I finished my homework! XD
I'm not technically supposed to be on, I think, but I'm being sneaky. ::wriggles eyebrows:: I didn't turn off the computer after researching, so, I'm doing that now. Just checking my email and such in the meantime. ^_^
I really hope they lay off on the homework next week. I might very well throw myself off a cliff if they don't. :P
Maaa. The day went by so quickly. ;_; It was all full of HOMEWORK.
And taking a shower to stall didn't help... ::laughs nervously::

Waiwai. I should really get going. Jaa!!

Heh, we're getting a leather couch, and it's coming on Tuesday... so Mum, Dad, and Alex are ripping apart our current couch. XD
Anyways, I'm supposed to be researching for homework -- I still have to do a map of China and read two books/chapters in The Odyssey. ::chews hand::

::throws confetti::
Yoshiko! Haaaappy Biiiiiiiirthday! I hope you like my giftie... XD
Aa, i need to go do my homework really soon. ::rushes off::

woah!!
::collapses::
today i have done my paper on what a hero is, all my physics (except rising and falling bodies, which is due next friday), maths page 115&116, and the research half of my history.
WOAH.
And tomorrow I need to do my reading assignment for the Odyssey, the map half of History, and work for 20 minutes on my POW for maths.

Still, I feel very accomplished. ^__^ I took a three hour break and wandered around Carnage's reviews section.... I can't say I agree with many of his reviews -- I *love* Chou Kuseni Narisou!! And it's supposed to be a parody, nitwit. :P Aa, but... my tastes have screeched around in the past few months, pertaining to everything... including anime. I think I prefer, or am more interested in, the darker series lately... but I still love some lightheartedness. But Hime-chan's Ribbon is not one of my favourites anymore. I don't know why it ever was... :P And I can't stomach Kaitou Saint Tail. I used to, but... I dunno. waiwai.

I need money. Well, I don't *need* it, but tomorrow I think I'll get on the computer for a bit, then do my homework, then maybe do a few jobs for moolah.

Waiwai (wordoftheweek), Billingual Card Captor Sakura!!!!!
...pity they don't have all twelve. ;_;

Mmm. I want the Weiss OAV fansubs.... Actually, I want a whole BUNCH of stuff. Gods, Halichan, get a fricking job!! (does anyone know where a fourteen-year-old can work and get paid? :P)

It's back to dusting the house for me. ::long-suffered sigh::

Meh. I did that English paper and the research half of the China handout. Then I took a "break." Hahah, it's been, like, four hours. Maaa. I'm so tired. I don't waaanna do my homework.
However, I think I shall retire to my bedroom, crank up the radio real loud, and do my bloody homework.
Fun.

Yuck.
I only just woke up, and I'm coming on for, like, two SECONDS (half an hour, and hour tops :P ) before I start my homework. Isn't this *fun.*
I have to get dressed soon. Maybe have a shower. Alex has a friend coming over at 2pm. Wooo.
She got a lucky neko for her birthday! ::glomps neko:: It's really wicked, too. I have a little mini one I got at the EPCOT center, but it doesn't compare to this one. ^___^ I looove lucky neko's. I don't know why, but I just do! They're so.... coooool. Wai~!
Anyways, aside from that little outburst.... everything else is fine. Laa laa laa.

Okay, ya know what? You wanna know my assignments? You wanna?!
English - Paper on Hero; Reading Assignment
History - Handout on China
Physics - Motion on seperate sheet; Recording Motion; Acceleration Sheet; Rising&Falling Bodies; Homework Folder Signed
Maths - At least 20 minutes on POW, page 12 & 13; Page 115 &116
Japanese - Study Hiragana & Stroke Order
SNAPPLE. And it all sounds pretty easy. ::snorts:: That Handout on China includes SOO much research, including reading part of our textbook, looking up pages on the web, drawing maps.... and Physics... oh dear GOD don't even make me think about it... the reading assignment is 2 Books/Chapters in The Odyssey, and the paper has to be at least 250 pages.... what else. Just lots.
I. Hate. Homework.

D-chan, you need to come on more often. We're losing touch. ;_; We need to do one of those multi-email things we used to... you know what I'm talking about, even if I can't explain it well. ^_^;

http://www.empireonline.co.uk/news/news.asp?3390.
I hope not. To everything involved. >,<

Wow. Okay, today, Halichan has decided to get you Up To Speed on her life and all the goings-on that haven't really been mentioned... mostly school stuff. So, feel free to tune out. This may get boring.

So, for the first few days, I walked with my friends. But they leave at SEVEN FOURTY-FIVE, and school doesn't start until EIGHT THIRTY, so that's really unneccesary. So, I ditched them, and have been walking with Alex or by my lonesome. Walking home, usually with Alex... but sometimes on my own. Whatever.
A Block... Photography. Mah. I think I totally screwed up on this assignment. For various reasons, I ended up using a 400 indoors on Wednesday night. (It was due Thursday morning.) So the lighting shuuuucksh. I had to use shutter speed 60, and my hands don't like holding cameras without creating blur enough as it is, and.... i forget the f stop. Pah! But, we developed it today, and the negatives are hanging up back at school... I took a few pictures up and down the staircases, in the hallway (i live in an apartment, on the sixth floor, so looking down was wiiickeed!) and they seemed to turn out pretty well. Especially the looking up ones. Next class is Tuesday, and I think we'll be putting it onto the paper and everything. Woo~!
B Block, Physics. Yawn. It's so HARD. And the teacher's odd -- you all know I >hate< saying bad things against teachers.... but he can't even explain the homework to us. He can't even explain what the homework IS. But he's okay... Physics itself is boring, though, and I have, like, TEN MILLION ASSIGNMENTS for it this weekend. Bah.
C Block, Health/Fitness. I don't mind it -- but I don't love it. The teacher's funny, he's pretty cool. Apparantly, coach of the freshman football team, so two kids in my class -- one of them his /nephew/ -- have him for a coach as well. We're doing all the CPR and shtuff. And we went to the gym. Played ultimate frisbee -- yaa, our team lost 9 to nil. XD But, I ate lunch with two girls from my class (and they're in a few of my other classes too) so that was okay.
D Block, Maths.... which is so easy for me. I chose, like, one of those "group-oriented" ones.... which can be okay for some people, and it's really good, but so. so. easy. Thus far. I'm not sure... I'm thinking of switching. ;_; I really like the people at my table (we're split into groups of four) right now, but. Whatever. I dunno.
E Block, Japanese. Wha, we're doing hiragana now... I'm ahead of the class, I thought we had to learn more last night than we did, so I supposedly know and recognise them all by now. ::snorts:: I'll be studying this weekend. A lot. Mummy says I'm too hard on myself. ::rolls eyes:: But Japanese is really fun. Sensei is very quiet and sweet. But there are some annoying people in my class. Kyaa~. Anyways. Back to hiragana, I was really proud of myself when I read someone's pencil case. Yeeah. 'Nuff said, yo!
F Block, English. We're reading the Odyssey. ::snores:: Today, she pretended to be a Greek Beggar and shtuff.... it was creepy, she was wearing this odd looking orange mask.... it was seriously creepy!!!
G Block, History. My homeroom teacher is also my History teacher -- he's cool, he lets us get off topic but not TOO off topic, and all that? You know what I meeean? Ya. Anyways, we learned all about Theory's and Evidence and Rationale and all that bull, and now we're on to China. Lots of homework this weekend to start of the China unit. Fun. Yeah, but it sounds interesting. I just dislike homework. ^.^

I have a cold. ;_; I have two packs of cough drops and some hot honey lemon that mummy made for me, though, so I'm all set. ^__^ Lots of Vicks on a tissue last night, to breath in. And on my chest. :P It's going away, though...
Weather was horrid. I looove the rain, but it's HUMID at the same time. EW.
There was this adorable little girl, I was opening the locked door to the apartment (we have a door that leads to the mail section, that anyone can go through, then a locked door that leads to the lifts and all) and this cuuute little girl started pushing on the outside doors (you have to pull to open it) and her mum's like "come on, we're not going that way..." she was so cute though. ^_^ I was walking behind them coming home from the corner store, after loading up on Halls Mentho-Lyptus. (Wouldn't have it any other way! ^.~)
There were wet worms on the way home today, and I walked alone, so I couldn't shreik about it. But after I saw a live one squiggling down the pavement, I kept seeing them everywhere, live ones, dead ones, squished ones, dry ones... and I kept feeling them under my feet, too.... XP It was yucky.

Yoshi-chan! Scan that picture... O.O Kakkoi! I wish I had a teacher who did things like that. ;_; I want to be recognised for being really good at something, just ONCE. I mean, Alex-'neechan was the first to get the Excellent at Mandarin award or something like that in a really high honour type of award thing, and she was a freshman at the time, so double-honour to her. I wanna do something like that.... but nobody even says, "Wow, you're so good at blahdiblahdiblah!" Sob!! But really, I understand why.... I'm not dedicated enough to anything.... :P (Or I don't show it... double :P)
As for that creepy dude.... Seriously, I'm sorry I had to leave half way through you were going through him coming back online, but Mum didn't want me on the computer. ;_; But don't you worry! ::protects with darts::

Hahahah, so I came home, changed into my jammies, and turned on the telly. And WHAT DID MINE EYES SEE?!! A Card Captor Sakura ("Cardcaptors") dub. And it was the final judgement. Woooooooo. Do I have a lot to say. But I'll restrict it... basically, I'm pissed off with the anime. They seemed to make Yue SOOO much harder than he ever seemed in manga. Even though, in the very beginning he was rather harsh, there was still... I dunno. Some 3D element to him. And maybe this is just me making it up, but.... it seems that way. This is only judging by the dub, I'll admit.... ::snorts:: Julian? Tsukishirou Yukito has so much MEANING to it...! Bah. And Yue's dub-voice is seriously fucked up. I'm not kidding. It's just... not... right. Nonono.
Then I watched Mork and Mindy. (Spelling?) He needed his gleek because it was his birthday. Or.... something.

Okay minna... I think that's enough for today. (Or right now, at least... I'll babble endlessly about inane things again some day, I promise! ^.~)

Haa, we had to grab the shopping from our parents.... XD We went through the apartment, a million bags in our hands, and i opened door handles with my elbow, pulled them out a little, and Alex pulled the rest of it open with her foot. XD I totally see a fic oppurtunity from this!!! Whahah.
Cough drops!

So I went to the movie thing yesterday. ::twirls:: It was nice. You know how Alex-'neechan went to China for four months on the first-time exchange trip? Ya, well, they're hosting one of the students who's from China. So, I met her. And dude, she likes anime. I'm like "hell ya!" Anyways, the house was really. really. reaaaaaally nice. They even had, in the hallway, those stars made from lights, on the ceiling. XD But it was fun. We hung around in the hallway, on the marble-waxed-shiny floor. XDXD But really, it was great. She says we can do it on Saturdays at her place, but everyone else is like "I can't, I have a life," or whatever. I said, "Well, Um, I *don't* have a life, so.. um... it's fine by me. *niko*" Anyways.
She's okay.... ::glomps kaimana:: you *so* need to be staying at your aunts place and on that computer 24/7. You *did* know that. Ne? :P
My throat. Is in SUCH a bad way, it's gravelly and hurts like fucking STINK! Seriously, it's an owwwwchie. ::sniffle::
Anyways. How is minna! I haven't been getting emails lately (again with the complaining) and I want to hear who's actually reading this... if.... anyone is. ;_;

Today was.... boring. Haa, it was one of those days when really *funny* things kept happening, too. Alex-'neechan and I kept bumping into eachother... I punched her once and another we both smashed full-force into eachother. ^__^ She's out with her friends right now. Hmm... in Physics, a girl sitting next to me was griping and saying things like "he wants us to do eighty of these things? Well he can just kiss my ass." XD And in Maths a girl was talking about men's shoe sizes not relating to the "colour of their shirts".... just... don't go there, Miss. Maths is a joke. It's so EASY. Homework is, like, "Flip twenty coins." And that's it. And the classwork's not much different either. I'm not sure whether I'm glad or annoyed... ^.^ Aa, and in Japanese class, *I* was picked for touban. Kayah! I totally "tatte kudasai"-ed their butts. XD
So, It was a pretty relaxing day, all in all. Which is really. Really. Really odd. No school tomorrow, maybe that's why. Booyah! I'm going over to a friends house to watch a movie tonight.... they all picked Casablanca... >.O Aah well. I think she just organized it so she could show off her new, rather large, house... they just built it. Yeah, she's one of those girls whose parents own a really large, expensive store, that just expanded? (Minna: Aaaah.........) Haai. >,< But she's really nice. And she prefers the Sailormoon manga to the anime! Yattaaaa! ^__^ The fact she knows what manga *is* is a "yatta" in it's own... :D
Heh, there's a "Japanese Animation" club at school... Yoshi-chan was saying how lucky I am, but I'm not sure. They'll all be, like... I dunno. Fud-d-d-d.... just not what I want. (And fud-d-d-d is just my weird little sound effect.... it doesn't mean anything "special.") Then again, ya never know, do ya! I'll have to go there some time.... and I really wanna join the badminton club. I love badminton. Apparantly, not as much as the head dude -- Alex-'neechan says that he's, like, obsessed. O.o; Well, I enjoy it. I couldn't think of anything to say for sports on this peer-interview thing, so I'm like "badminton." The dude wrote it down at kept repeating "badminton. Hmm." XD
Oh ho ho, you just watch me, I'll "suwate kudasai" their BUTTS on Thursday.... whahah haaaaaaa.

Wow. I feel like I have so much to do and don't want to do any of it at all.
I wonder what it is I need to do. ;_;
omph. i have so much to say. I don't want to say any of it. (Maybe that's what this feeling is all about...?)
And I have so much stuff to scan. I hate scanning. I suck at it, too. ;_;
Wow. I am such a whiner.

waiwai! i have my pc working! YAY!!!!!!
::kisses::
so, email shouldn't be a problem. THOUGH the cursor does fuck up sometimes, it's generally okay, and usable. ::pumps fists:: woohoo!!

Oh, and Minna... tonight at 7pm please try and light a candle for those in New York. I'm not sure how "big" of a thing this is -- our principle told us to do it, or requested it. It might just be a Boston effort, I have no idea. But please do it, if not for the fact that it shows the respect those in New York deserve. That's 7pm Boston time, if you want to be a part of a big group, (timeanddate.com can tell you your time in relation to it, from any country) or, for your own purposes, 7pm. But try and do it anyways -- I will. And there is a lot of talk of prayer, which has sort of disturbed and sort of comforted me -- I think I should define prayer in my own ways. I never used to be religious, and I wouldn't consider myself Ultra-Religious, still. I'm Wiccan, which is something that it's hard for me to tell people because it's my own business. And, being a Witch has a lot of connotations to it. I talk to my deities, in my head -- I'm much more into prayer, than the ritualistic forms. But this is really none of your business, and I can't beleive I'm saying all this. Anyways, I define Prayer as just thinking in your own mind, or something along those lines. I know that if I had no religion, I would feel almost left out if everyone was talking about praying for the victims -- almost as though my thoughts aren't good enough, if I can't pray. So, try and "pray" while lighting your candles, by way of simply sorting out your own thoughts and trying as hard as you can to send spirit and good thoughts to those in NY, and friends of those.
Anyways, that all came out wrong. Just.. yeah. Light a candle. Show your respect and care.
And sorry to talk so much about NY -- I feel like it's a private thing for me, almost, and that I want life to just go on. I am showing my respect and such, by donating money, and lighting candles, and praying, but the fact is I don't want to hear about it forever. It IS important, no doubt,
and I feel really bad for saying these sorts of things, but I want to get on with my life as best as I can. That's the only way to make things better, in my opinion.
And I am so bad with words.

NOTE FOR YOSHI-CHAN! Yoshi-chan..! I was reading your blog, and reading how you said, "..move halfway across the continent to live in a foreign country - and STILL waiting for the year when I could become a citizen of the United States." I don't feel like I'm *waiting* for that day. I didn't mention that it was something I really want, because it's not. It's difficult. I wouldn't *hate* to be a citizen, but it's not something I feel I desperately need. (I also think we are eligible now, but I'm not sure.) And as for you not having problems in comparison to me, fuck that. I have, like, a perfect life, and I feel as though I act all selfishly and overexaggerate myself, because I'm bad with words. My feelings always sound so blown up when I say things. It's an annoying trait of me, and I hope I didn't worry you. Also, I want you to know that I don't feel that *you* dragged me down. In fact, I don't feel dragged down at all. I'm almost glad -- I feel like I got all these things off my chest to people I love and trust. I can't say it to anyone at school, I'm not close in that way with them, and I most definitely cannot say these to my parents -- we discussed that. I feel lucky, too, that I have friends like you that will hear my words. ^_^ Aren't I a Lucky Lady.
As for what you were saying about Koi-chan... I heartily (heartily ^^;) agree. I should have been stronger, also, for her -- and you. I tried to almost make up for it at the end, apologising -- but I didn't do it right. I ended up griping about how selfish I feel at times. You're not all alone in your feelings. And you can cry. ::huggles::
As for the next day, i'm so glad you felt better. And I would do that appearance thing also, copy-paste and all that, but... *ahem* you would get very. Large. numbers. When it comes to weight and clothing size. >< Seriously. And I don't need Minna to know that about me -- appearance means shit, I'm trying to get myself to realise this. I don't need to bring myself down with that. But I do sweat lots and get red easily. And my first class is on the third floooor.... and i smell so bad and i'm like "CRAP! GOMEN MINNA-SAN!" (But i'm too shy to say that OUT LOUD.) ;_;
I understand how you feel about the plane crashes -- I heard "two planes crashed" over the PA, and I thought "oh, that's sad." Then, I went to homeroom, and they started talking about the pentagon and the fucking world trade center building... and I saw the second tower crumble on the tv, live. It was odd. It was just... odd. And so much happened, and so much is going on. And it's all private, and I'll talk to you about it when I get online because I trust you, but not fucking here. Not on my blog. It took me about fifteen minutes, during a Freshman Assembly, but finally the shock left, and this electric jolt, like all my nerves were jumping, went through me. I thought of koi-chan. And I swear I was so freaked. I know noone else, but... Koi-chan. Who I'd prayed for a happier life, who I'd asked the Lord and Lady to protect... what if she had been hurt. Or even if her family had been hurt. I hoped not, I've checked her blog every day....
nothing...
i think she's fine. I think she's fine, I really think she's fine. But her friends, her family... what if they... and I want to be there for her, because it's harder for her. Sure, it was especially shocking for us Boston babies (<-don't ask), because those dumbasses at Logan let them through... but, the fact is.. It's not as hard. I wonder -- I'VE BEEN ON AMERICAN AIRLINES FROM LOGAN. I have taken one of their planes, and i might have been going to LA -- face it, we travel a lot, and who knows if one of Dad's conferences had been in LA and at this time and.... woah. Mellow Hali. I'm fine, I'm sounding hysterical. but I talked to my parents and all that, I can't tell you all this on the blog -- on AIM, I promise -- and I'm fine now. But those were my thoughts at the assembly.
As for war... no way. There's not a COUNTRY to blame, therefore I doubt a war will start. Well. America and other countries are always "Quietly" retaliating, which is such a cumbersome thing to think about, but it's true. And... harrowing. To think of that all this is going on every day. But anyways, I doubt World War III will start -- that's an overreaction, I beleive.
As for the fact noone gives you sympathy -- that really sets us apart. I have so much support, and I love it. I feel so lucky.
I'll talk to you on aim, Yoshi-chan... get on soon. I want to have a friend. Or D-chan... who I feel like I've been ignoring lately, gomen ne.

I'm drained and exhausted, both mentally and physically. I have so much to say, but don't expect me to say it -- not right now.
New York. What can I say.
School. Is making me so tired.
Computer. Mine is fucked up. SO fucked up -- and in regards to email, my temporary pixigirl one doesn't want to work on my mac backup thing. Oog. So, today I'll be finding a new email address, as in literally new -- not a temporary one. Sob..!
My package... that's cool. Yami no Matsuei was sold out, so I ended up getting only Chobits and Miyuki-chan in the Wonderland... XD
I really have a lot more to say on each of these. And I will. Ugggh. Tomorrow. The next day. When my computer works again.
Don't expect me to reply to anything -- emails, letters, whatever -- for a long time. I don't know when I'll next be on: it might be tomorrow, and every day after that. OOF.

I really have to get going... but omigosh about New York. Kaimana, email me asap. >,< It's Alex's birthday, too... and my VOE anime package came, so that was good. More later, but i REALLY have to go -- I lost last night's homework for Maths, so I have to do that AND tonight's. O.O;

too late to think...
i just had a really nice talk with Yoshi-chan and Koi-chan... anything else about it is none of your business.
i'm so tired. i slept from 12am to 2pm today. and i'm still exhausted. i have this hollow pain around and behind my eyes. it's sort of like a headache... but not quite. I'm just... exhausted.
And I still have homework. Mum said I had to do it by today.
school has ruined my life. two days by. crap.

i want a peice of cake.

oooohghaohohgoirwhaogwm. i have four homework assignments. -.-* I've done one and am half way through the second... -.-**

Oy, okay... maybe I wont be jabbering lots.

Homeroom's cool, I like my homeroom/history teacher. Assembly was... intersting. Photography should be cool, the teacher's weird. Physics=YAWN with a weird teacher, lunch was fine, math... was math, japanese sounds awesome, Jclass-sensei is really nice... english and history, ya.

wow. i'm SO not in the mood to talk. >< well, it's been cool. homework. can't get over that. boring.

i have nothing more to say... booya~!

First day of school today...! I went around to all my classes. It's really cool. JapaneseClass-sensei is so sweet and quiet, and we're jumping right in..! It's really awesome. I'm in a bit of a rush -- I'll jabber TONS tomorrow, though, I promise. But basically, it was cool.
Reminder to talk about --
homeroom, assembly, photography, double physics, lunch, math, japanese, english, history.
It's wonderful! I'm so happy and enthusiastic and YA! ^_^

Wow. I am incredibly bored.
I guess this'll be all from me today.
::kisses index and middle fingers and turns them around and into a victory sign::

This is on the back of a chop-stick wrapper from a food court. (Hali cleaned out her pockets today.)

"Two little sticks
They're made out of wood
And they help you
To pick up your lunch
Your lunch
And if you practice
Then you'd get food
And you'll find you can pick up
A bunch to munch
Eat noodles with chopsticks
Eat dumplings with chopsticks
Eat sushi with chopsticks
That's fish!
Don't eat soup with your chopsticks
That's no good with chopsticks
And jello with slide off
Your dish
I eat with chopsticks
Can you eat with chopsticks
Doctor told us
Be intell eat by using chopsticks
Lots of people use chopsticks
So try eat your chopsticks
Right Now"

that's all [sic]. ^^;
::tries to eat chopsticks right now::
I think it's great. ^_^ That's probably how my French sounds. XD And my Japanese *will* sound. ><

Y'know, being a landlord would be cool. Not for owning the land and blah, that'd be so boring, but just for the name. XD "Hello, I am your land Lord, oh ho ho!"
I think it's great. XD

Phoe.. it's crappy to hear about your computer. That's how another.com's been acting. -.- I hope your computer sorts out it's Issues, ASAP..! ;_;
Steph! Kagerou Nostalgia sounds *so* kick-ass!

Omigosh, English/Japanese manga is so coolerlicious! I must get some..! (Hoyah!)
I have a check-up in a month. -.-* Checkups suck. Majorly. And I have to get another shot at the same time. Woohoo, it's Hana The Pincushion.

I need to update this layout. I have a really nice layout that would be way awesome to use. But I have no idea how to convert it to a blog layout. And, quite frankly, I don't feel like fucking up another blogger.
Maybe I'll get off blog and just hand-do it. But that's so haard. I have to do all the archiving shtuff... aaa. I'm being incredibly lazy today... Maybe I'll just veg out in front of Kaitou Saint Tail and the Disney channel all day, and not use my mind. At all. -.-*

Woohoo!
Another.Com, while an EXCELLENT email server, is one that, when it screws up, it screws up *royally.* It is currently Screwed Up in a Very Royal Way. And it's annoying. So, I switched my email... I'm not sure whether this is a permanent switch, or just a temporary... but time will tell.
katana@pixigirl.nu for emails. ^_^
Oh ho ho, I watched the eighth ep of Evangelion, and the first three eps of Vampire Princess Miyu last night... woo, I *love* Vampire Princess (and we've all established that Evangelion's great) so much. Oh ho ho, do I hear another obsession calling my name?
To tell the truth, I've done a complete 180 when it comes to... well, everything, in my life, in the past year. Whether it's favourite colour, season, type of anime, whatever... it's changed. Weird. ^_^

Oh ho ho! We went to the restaurant last night... we walked down the road to this place called "FuGaKyu," or 'House of Exquisite Elegance.'
And it was niiiiiiiice.
It was all set up like you were in Japan, and the ceiling was painted like the sky... there were three different type of eating things you could eat at: upstairs, which I have no idea what it's like; downstairs, in these little booths with the sliding doors and everything (just low chairs, though, you didn't have to eat on your knees); or downstairs, in these "outdoor restaurant"-ish setup things, which were outlined by bamboo and stuff like that. We had the latter. It was really cool, the waitresses were all in kimono, the guys in... i dunno, pants and this shirt thing... i guess it was traditional, too. I wouldn't know. ;_; The girls working at the counter had business suits on, though. But it was really cool, either way. ^_^ And I ate... I wrote this down somewhere (I knew I'd forget otherwise..) Miso Soup, Satsuma Yaki, and Chicken Katsu Curry. (I *think* those were the names. I wrote it down a few minutes AFTER I ordered, so don't trust it. My short-term memory sucks.) Miso soup was... well, miso soup. Yummy. The Satsuma Yaki was, like, fried fish cakes or something with this yummmmmy sauce you could dunk it in. It was really good. Mum had Vegetable Tempura, which was okay. I don't like zuchini, though, and that's the one she let me try. ^^; And the Chicken Katsu Curry was SO EFFING DELICIOUS. It was just these crumbed (or something like that) chicken strips, and there was the little ball of rice, and the curry in the gravy pot-ish thing, and I used, like, ALL of the curry. It was the BEST thing you've EVER tasted. I tried a bit of everyone elses, too... Mum had Teriyaki Chicken, which was yum. Dad had these roll things, that were shrimp and some other stuff (veggies? I forget) rolled in thin beef strips. They were really good. Alex had some sort of udon, I dunno... I'll ask her. Pork Katsu Udon, she says. And you're right, Yoshi-chan... Udon really *are* yummy.
I think we'll have to go back there again... for not-so-much-food though. A, It was really expensive (like, $US111 dollars... KYAK!) and B, it was extremely filling. *Extremely.*
But man was it de-lish..!

listening to: big spender, shirley bassey
eew... i found some dried-up blood right next to the pin-tip-size hole from my shots... my arms hurt when i move them. ;_;
and about the "senpai" thing... i hear tell that it's not actually used that often... but I love the way it sounds...! Besides, I felt so mahou-shoujo-ish that I just had to. XD
is it just me, or does Miss Marilyn Monroe sing very... lusciously..? ^_^;

and my homeroom teacher just called.
Will wonders never cease?
XD I love Yoshi-chan's response to finding out my senpai called..
"..is he cute?"
XD I'll probably meet him first day of school... but I'm so ridiculously bad with names I can't even remember. I'm pretty sure it began with a J. Jesse. Jake. Joe. Josh. Kyak! I have no idea. Mmm, I'll figure it out. And I'll tell you all about him and his eleventh-year-glory. :P
But eh, I don't really care what he looks like, so... don't expect a vivid description. I probably won't even remember his hair colour. -,-;

Did you know that the smallest ever teddy bear was designed by Hiromu Morine of Sapporo, Japan, and is smaller than 0.04 inches tall? And that the largest was designed by "Omni Toys Oy of Turku Finland," reaching a lenth of 25 feet 3 inches, and 1,764 pounds in weight.
::snickers:: no, I'm not enjoying the mass of Useless Knowledge I'm receiving from the Guinness Book of Records. ^__^

Dude. My junior mentor just called. Our conversation went something like this:
"Hi, I'm [blah, I forgot... I think it started with a J. It's a guy.] and I'm your junior mentor, I'm just calling to see if you have any questions about the High School or anything."
"Umm... no, not really."
"Okay, then my phone number is [blah, I forgot this too] and you can call me if you have any questions -" (I barely got an "okay" in before he went on,) "So I guess I'll be seeing you first day of school then bye."
"Yeah. Bye."
He said it all very fast.

Well, that's been my day. Teddy bears and Mentors. And Tic-Tacs. Lots of Tic-Tacs.

It would be an understatement to say I'm just a bit nervous about dinner. I realise I have no idea what the !fuck! i'm going to be eating. Or what it'll be like.
Ah well. If all else fails, I'm sure we can order a pizza.
But I always get nervous first-time at a restaraunt. I'm just not great at going out places -- our parents say we have perfect manners, yada yada, yeah yeah. I stop being nervous/anxious when I'm THERE, usually, but it's beforehand that kills.
Blah, you guys don't need to hear all this.

Omigosh! I forgot my hat and scarf! My yummy hat and scarf... ^__^ They're not itchy at all, and the scarf is all lovely... the hat's cute too, with a big pompom at the top and two tails down the side... if that makes sense? I'll have to take a photo of it. It's wicked.
I also want to say hi to Stephie-chan, who's really really nice. ^_^ As I said to her, I'm always nervous about talking to people online. I feel like they're going to bite my head off. Whether this is due to my mistrusting people, or the fact that I've been burned in the past, I'm always surprised when someone like her comes along and is more than civil -- they're kind. (I think it might be "burned in the past." Or, at least, that's what I'll say, because it makes me sound better than a grouchy old crab who can't trust anyone.)
I just watched eps 5-7 of Evangelion... I like it, I've seen eps 1-4 before now. I've also seen ep 1 of Kaitou Saint Tail, but I've never seen any Vampire Princess Miyu... so that should be cool. I have a volume of it, I think it might be volume 11. But Maybe it just has two ones. Or something. ^^; (Christmas present last year... ^^;;)
Anyways, short break, then back to the subs... (I prefer Japanese w/ subtitles... I hate dubs.) Jaa!

Happy Birthday to me! ::blows tooters::
Ya wanna know what I got? I'm rather pleased... I got two CDs: 'Woah, Nelly!' - Nelly Furtado; 'Little Voice' - Soundtrack.

^__^ isn't that great? I love it. ^__^
Now, that promised "more on" the whole anime voucher.
I asked for one... and Dad printed out this beeyootiful voucher... it's great. But apparantly they had meant/thought of fansubs. Oops. I'd already gone to V.O.E. and was making my decisions. But I talked to Mum about it, when we went out to get my shots and I found out they'd thought of fansubs. I feel sort of bad, but Mum said not to. Anyhows, it's all ordered now. I ordered the following:
Yami No Matsuei Volume One
Chobits Volume One
Miyuki-Chan in the Wonderland (Manga Size Re-Issue)
Card Captor Sakura Kero-Chan Pin (Paws Crossed)
(Miniposter) Card Captor Sakura
(Miniposter) Card Captor Sakura
(Miniposter) Cowboy Bebop
Super Gals! Kotobuki Ran Oshare Kisekae
Wish Music Tracks
Tomokazu Seki - Naked Mind
I know very little about Cowboy Bebop and Gals!, but the poster was a cheapie - $US1 - and the Gals! trading cards set thingie was too cool/cute to pass up. I do rather wish they'd had Angelic Layer Volume One available... but oh well. Another time. ^_^ The Tomokazu Seki CD is from my sister, I just ordered it at the same time... and I don't know whether the MCW is the bigger arty thing, or the smaller normal-print... but I really don't mind either way. I want them both. ^_^ And hai, it looks like I went into all the CLAMP pervies in this... what with Chobbits AND Miyuki-Chan in the Wonderland... but that was just coincidence... kakkoi, though, ne?
Sugoi! I'm really happy!

The shots were interesting. I had to get three -- one in my right arm, two in my left. They stung and pinched for a bit, but now it's all good. ^_^ We also went to Brueggers Bagels (how the frick do you spell that?) and the video store, as well. I rented three DVDs -- Neon Genesis Evangelion, Eps 5-8; Kaitou Saint Tail, Eps 1-3; Vampire Princess Miyu, Eps 1-3 -- so that's pretty cool. I get them till Sunday... can we say "repeat"? >D
And the Japanese Restaurant for dinner is all set... we saw what times they were open for dinner, and it's 5pm-1:30am. Haa, I think we'll be able to make it. ^_^
So... that's my little Adventures for today. I think that's about all I need to say. Wait, there's more, actually. I couldn't sleep last night. I think I fell asleep at about 3:30am, and I woke up at 5:30am... and then fell asleep soon after, and woke up at 6:30am. Crappy. But I'm not that tired... Mum had to take a nap (I woke them up at 7am... XD eeeevil!!) but I'm relatively fine. I'm very happy, actually. And I've been thinking, since school starts in a few days, how much I'm happy for my old school... and how happy I am for my new. It's interesting to think that, even just walking in a different direction, it will be odd at first... but by four years, it will seem just as much as a loss to be walking a different street, just as it is right now. And I've been in that school for so long -- since *fourth grade*!! It amazes me to think that I'm not considered "the new kid." People keep forgetting I hadn't been there since the very beginning and therefore, no, I didn't have that Famous-In-The-School-Second-Grade-Teacher-That-Retired-Last-Year-We'll-Miss-Him-So-Much-Boo-Hoo. But it's a good feeling. ^_^
I'm excited and happy. Huzzah!

self-survey (interview style)
why do you design layouts? That's a rather interesting and difficult question for me to answer, because, in truth, I really don't know it for myself. I design layouts... as a way of showing what I like. That I prefer the colour blue to the colour orange, that I prefer the colour pink to the colour blue. That I think grey and lime green go well together. That sepia photographs rule over black and white, which rule over colour. That table layouts can be simple yet gorgeous, that round images just don't go well with square frames. And so on, and so forth. It's a way for me to express my opinions, as cliche as that may seem. Because while I'm fiddling around with the colours, or the contrast, or the image size, or the whatever, I'm showing my preferences. As for why I *enjoy* designing? It's just a thing I do. I like fiddling around with colours, or contrast, or image size, or whatever. I like examining all the possibilities.
what's your favourite form of exercise? Walking and swimming. They really are the easiest forms, and also possibly the best for you. Walking straightens out your back, and swimming is great for twisted ankles and arthritis. Gentle forms of exercise really are, in my opinion, the best. As opposed to skipping, or jump-rope, where there's high impact levels involved, walking and swimming can be considered relatively tame. Anything that is healthy for you is really great, in my opinion, but I enjoy walking and swimming the most. Walking, I get to look around me at the world, all the buildings passing by. It's a great way to calm down, soothe my nerves. I enjoy hiking also, but that doesn't give you the same opportunity to think. Also, it's a lot easier to just go walking when you're living in the very centre of the city... not many hiking paths around here! ::laughs:: And with swimming... as soon as you throw me in the water, you'll have a hard time of tugging me out again. Of course, I'm very self-conscious, so I rarely *go* swimming.. which is a pity. As for sports, I enjoy most of them... baseball, basketball, gymnastics, volleyball... but again with the self-conscious behaviour, I don't do them. I'm extremely bad at sports, and being seen as a fat girl running slowly doesn't quite appeal to me. Maybe some day. Hmm... back to the point. Walking and swimming, I'd have to say, are the most comforting forms of exercise, in my opinion, even if they're not exactly high-strain. They're still very healthy for you. I enjoy an occasional ride on the stationary bike located in our kitchen... ::laughs:: ...but that's about it.
what websites do you frequent? You know, I probably use Merriam-Webster OnLine the most... ::laughs:: It's incredibly useful! I'm always interested in the English language, and expanding my vocabulary, so any new words, I immediately go there. I even do the whole writing-out-a-sentence-using-that-word assignment they gave out in sixth grade. But really, it's great, and I'm such an obssessee over spelling, though it may not seem it. It's great to know that there's somewhere that can help you out easily with that -- if you type in a word it doesn't register, it pops up ten or twelve alternate possibilities, so you know you're not too far. Most of the time. :-) For instance, did you know that cohow is "a dark-colored petrel formerly abundant in Bermuda but now nearly extinct"? I got that through typing in "kahou" and seeing what alternate spellings it gave me... I couldn't have done that with a paper-and-ink dictionary! And I think that's what the web's really all about, letting you learn things you otherwise wouldn't have... or at least making it easier to learn. But apart from Merriam-Webster, I'm a big fan of Cherrycoma.Net and Revelasians.
what's your favourite clothes item right now? Wow, these really are off-the-wall questions, aren't they..! I think probably these new pants I got.. I got three pairs, and they're all incredibly comfy, but especially a pair of black-and-white pinstriped pants I got, are my favourites. I've always always been a fan of pinstripes, I think they're absolutely divine. So, yes, those are probably my favourites. Right now, I'm wearing my pajamas (even though it's late in the afternoon -- I do this on a holiday, quite often) right now, but now I'm thinking of changing into them..! ::laughs::
..all changed, then? ::laughs:: Yes, actually!
what are you wearing? Hmm... well, my pinstriped pants (Inspired!) and a Hotel Alcatraz t-shirt that is incredibly worn from over-use.
sounds snazzy It is.
what is the last thing you ate? Well, actually I'm eating right now. Anticipating the next question, it is a Dole Peaches Fruit Cup, which I am eating for a (very) late lunch. (I woke up at noon. I hadn't gone to bed until very very late/early last night/this morning... ::laughs::)
what song are you listening to right now? PetShop of Horrors - Legolgel - Jikuu Ryoukou. It's a really good song, available for download at PetShopOfHorros.Com.
and lastly, what's your favourite icecream flavour? Strawberry. :-)

eeew. my vitamins are yucky. i eat adult chewables because i HATE swallowing tablets, and they're "pineapple" flavoured.... >< naasty. They taste just like a mashed up advil (which i've had before -- often) only thinly masked by *pineapple* -- which i hate. damn me! i shoulda gone with the dummi bears!

yaya! i went shopping today...! we got school supplies (i'm all ready for a fresh start on schoolwork... top priority, yo!) and clothes. I got three pairs of pants... they're really niiice, comfy. I'm wearing one pair, black and white pinstripe... XD They're yummy~!

...
XD
"The phrase may sound like a sick joke."
ooh! We're sick sick sick!
And...
Hot boy-on-broomstick action"?!!
I think they might have sprouted a new genre in that sentence... XD
And they chose a great quote from Irresistable Poison... if they'd chosen a really "sick" one from a really bad story, perhaps that would have been more affective. And I love this word "unauthorized" that keeps popping up. XD
As for this:
"(note to Hogwarts headmaster: if the broom shed’s rocking, you might try knocking)."
::stares:: and they say that *slashers* are the crude ones here?
The FACT is, also, that Harry Potters target audience is NOT CHILDREN. I mean, if it was target towards eleven-year-old's when it started -- let's face it! They're fourteen, fifteen by now? People grow up! You should too!
You know what I'd like to hear? JK's statement. From her own lips, thanks very much, not through Warner Brothers. ('Ms Rowling and us' my ass. I highly doubt she'd be standing on top of the tables with a megaphone yelling "NOW LET'S GET ALL THOSE HARRY POTTER FANSITES! I WANT THEM DOWNDOWNDOWN!!!")

But let's take this seriously for a moment. If you couldn't read between the lines closely enough, the *real* problem they seem to have is the fact that, in slash protrayals, the characters are gay. Does anyone else see something seriously wrong with that? They acknowledge, because of Rhyssen, that not all slash is heavily sexual. So, what's the problem then? Aren't they going after porn? It appears that is not the case. And where, excuse me, are the mentions of het porn? Or even het romance, that is as mild as anything a slash writer will create? They just don't seem to have a problem with Hermione/Harry stories, because they are 'cute,' 'sweet,' and 'a sign that the sweethearts of America are growing up in a perfectly normal manner.'
If they ever try to say their problem is only with sex being involved, well they can just kiss my ass because I know they're big fat liars. :P

::gets off soapbox::

minna! i need your help!
you all heard about the whole shots/birthday thing? (i think I might have blabbed so much yesterday that it's in the archives already, actually. Oops.) Well, I need your help! Presents: before or after? I think maybe one before and the rest later, or maybe Alex-chan's first and the rest later. Kyeeh.
Yoshi-chan says after, but I'm thinking of going by popular vote. ^^; Halichan no baka. Anyways, I keep complaining..! I'm such a horrid little girl! Complaining is a bad thing. Bad halichan.
Gomen all, you've been great for standing it thus far... ^^;

update: i have to do it in the morning... i forgot that daddy has work. -.-*
oh well! i was heading towards that anyways... ^^;

oh ho ho, time for a bit of a sob story.
stupid hackers decided to try and do their pirated movie thang on our server.
long story short. now those images up there, while they work for you, show BROKENNESS to me. Which is just SO annoying because nothing'll ever look right again now. ::sob:: UNLESS i just don't use images, which is probably safer because i'm all bad at images. but face it, that's not gunna happen.
::runs away sobbing::
yes, feel bad for halichan!!

and i forgot to ask for a ribon monthly/nakayoshi subscription. i don't think i woulda gotten it, anyways, but it's the PRINCIPLE of it all.
say hi to yoshi-chan! 1111+ hits!!

This is my birthday list I shall bestow upon my parental units. (And yes, this is how I talk to my parents on a day-to-day basis. Sad. Where has all the respect from youth gone?)
Hannah’s BIG BIRTHDAY LIST! (oh ho ho!)
-Angelic Layer Manga, Japanese, Volume One, CLAMP. (If you can’t find volume one, don’t bother -- volume two would be okay, I guess, but Volume One is the one I really want. And also the beginning. And all that. Yeeeah. It’ll have a number somewhere on the cover. That’s how you tell which volume it is -- I know you have had troubles with this in the past. That goes for all manga, by the way. Yeeeah times two.)
-Card Captor Sakura Manga, Japanese, Any Volume, CLAMP. (There are Twelve (count ‘em twelve!) volumes in all, but any of them would be fine. Preferably one of the later ones cuz they’re cooler, somewhere between eight and ten, would be great, but whatever. If available, one that is not volume one, because I have the English of that.)
-Clover Manga, Japanese, Japanese, Volume One-Three, CLAMP. (I think it’s still going, I’m pretty sure at least four volumes are available. As always, I’m not sure. Bleh. Anyways, any volume from one to three would be fine, preferably one.)
-Magic Knights Rayearth, Japanese, Volume One-Three, CLAMP. (Any volume from one to three is fine by me, there are three volumes available. I think there’s also a MKR2 or something..? I’m not sure on that.)
-RG Vega, Japanese, Volume One/Two/7-10, CLAMP. (There are ten volumes available. I’d like one, two, seven, eight, nine, or ten. Basically, any as long as it’s not three through six. One, of course, would always be appreciated.)
-Shirahime Shou Manga, Japanese, CLAMP. (It’s a one-volume thing, so that shouldn’t be too hard. However, I think it might very well be out of print and pretty rare, so it could be hard-to-find. Meh.)
-Wish Manga, Japanese, Any Volume, CLAMP. (There are four volumes in all, I’d like any or all of them. I really like Wish, so this is probably near the top of my I-Really-Want list..! I think they all have an angel on the cover, with a flower, and some sort of motto. Eh.)
-X Manga, Japanese, Volume Two, CLAMP. (I forget how many volumes total there are. A lot. Anyways, I’d like Volume Two. I think it’s available in English, also, and that’d be fine.)
-Rurouni Kenshin Manga, Japanese, Volume One, Nobuhiro Watsuki. (Pretty much any volume, I guess, would be okay, but preferably one before volume seven? I think there are, like, twenty-three in all. There are many, in any case.)
-I.O.N. Manga, Japanese, Arina Tanemura. (A one-volume shot, so. Yeah. I’d like it. ‘Nuff said!)
-Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne Manga, Japanese, Volume One, Arina Tanemura. (I have volume two, but any one would be fine. I’d prefer volume one, though. ^_^)
-Time Stranger Kyoko Manga, Japanese, Volume One and/or Two, Arina Tanemura. (There are only two volumes in all, anyways, but either would be fine.)
-Hanazakari no Kimitachi e Manga, Japanese, Volume One-Five, Nakajo Hisaya. (Any volume between/including volumes one and five are fine. Volume one would be the ultimate, but two/three/four/five would be vvonderful also. Six or seven if it’s necessary.)
-Mintna Bokura Manga, Japanese, Volume Four, Wataru Yoshizumi. (This is important -- I already have volumes one through three! So I would really. really. REALLY like, volume four. Don’t get volumes one two or three, because that would be pointless. Though having double copies could prove useful. Anyways, volume four is what I’m looking for. Yay!)
-Random Walk Manga, Japanese, Volume One, Wataru Yoshizumi. (I really don’t know too too much about this, but I’m very sure it’ll be good. Volume one, please -- I dunno how many there are or anything like that, I know there’s at least two, but the first one is what I want.)
-Kodomo no Omocha Manga, Japanese, Any Volume, Obana Miho. (I believe there are ten (?) volumes of this, and so any of them I’d be more than glad to get.)
-Penguin Brothers Manga, Japanese, Volume One, Shiina Ayumi. (Just volume one -- I don’t know very much about Penguin Bro’s, but I’ve heard it’s good from very many people. Again, if not volume one, then don’t bother. I want the first one. Yayay!)
-Cyber Idol Mink Manga, Japanese, Volume One-Three, Tachikawa Megumi. (As always, volume one would be best, but any volume from volume one-three is fine. I’m not sure how many there are total, I think it’s not done yet. Eh. Anyways, I know that, at least, volumes one through three are available. Or should be. Eh heh. KYAK, anyway. Volume one preferably, anything through one and three is fine. To restate.)
-Yami no Matsuei Manga, Japanese, Volume One, Matsushita Yoko. (I don’t know a heckuvalot about this, but I’ve heard from several people that it’s really really good. So, going on that... there are ten volumes available, I think, anything from one through six is okay, but I’d really like Volume One, please.)
-SailorMoon Manga, English, Volume Three, Naoko Takeuchi. (There are different “types,” I guess, and I’d like straight-on volume three. I hope that makes sense. I think there’s also stuff like “SailorMoon SuperS.” Nyet, just the SailorMoon volume three, all translated and happy.)
-Anime DVD’s from SamGoody. (I know nothing about what they have. Some titles I reckon I saw there that I’d like are: Rurouni Kenshin, Slayers, Neon Genesis Evangelion. Well, with RuroKen I’d like anything from the early on episodes. It’ll say on the back of the box. If it’s an OAV or whatever, and this is really with all of them, that’d be fine. Slayers... I dunno. Anything. And with Neon Genesis Evangelion, I’d like volume two with episodes 5-8, but if that’s not there then the first one, eps 1-4. If neither are there, then nothing else from it. It’ll say on the box. Try and make sure that the japanese with subtitles is available. Danku.)
-Vouchers for Fansubs. (Yay! I like fansubs. I like watching them even more. Hoya! Basically, a fair-priced tape is anywhere from five to ten dollars, including shipping. High quality ones are higher up -- Angel’s Anime Heaven, who I’ve already ordered from before, for example, is nine dollars. That’s considered pretty good. Other places go really, really cheap, but they’re pretty flimsy when it comes to labeling and tape quality and such. Um, but, I’d really like this. Muchly muchly. I have (at least) one tape in mind that I know I want. So. Um um. Yes. I know more about fansub availability than the commercially available stuff. Aww.)
-Vouchers for Online Merchandise. (Things from places like V.O.E, or Firefly Animation... just money for spending there, on.. stuff. I don’t know what yet. Posters, artbooks. That sorta thing.)
-Wish Soundtrack. (I only know where this is available online... It’s, like, thirty dollars there, or something like that.)
-Baz Lurhmann’s Romeo+Juliet Soundtrack. (There are two. I’d like them both.)
-Little Voice Soundtrack. (‘Nuff said, yo~!)
-Nelly Furtado CD, ‘Woah Nelly!’ (...)
-Lou Bega CD, ‘A Little Bit Of Mambo’ (It’s his first one. I think that’s what it’s called. Tracks include: ‘Tricky Tricky’ ‘Can I Tico Tico You’ ‘Icecream’ and ‘Mambo No. 5’)
-The Cranberries CD. (Any one. I already have No Need To Argue.)
-RENT CD. (The Best Of, or the Two-CD soundtrack.)
-A wicked-cool scarf. (One that’s relatively thin, I don’t like those bulky ones. And pretty. And cool. And not itchy, please no-itchy!)
-One of those really cool hats. (I told you, the ones like the kid in A Christmas Story who had his tongue stuck to a pole had..? Yeah. I’m in winter-mode now. I am READY FOR THE COLD! I want it. Yaaaaa. Anyways, I want one of those hats. I told them to you, mum. Several times.)

And that’s all from The Great Hannah. Enjoy your time shopping for me..! Most of the manga, I guess, is available at Sasuga Bookstores. Oh ho ho!

::contemplates:: very nice, ne? It's rather CLAMP-centric, though. Then again, I guess that's mostly because they've done so much. It's more to Arina Tanemura, in that way, then, because i asked from something from all of her works... oh ho ho! Very manga-centric, I think we can all agree on that. There's still much I *didn't* ask for... like Weiss. Sigh. I was seriously considering asking for Gravi and Chobbits, but (wisely?) decided against it. Oh ho ho! And if I don't get something, please feel free to send me money for it. ^____^ NOT that I'm expecting to get all of this -- hell no! Waiwai, do you think I'm insane? Or rich? Neither!
And that's my wish list. Yay!!

Update: mummy says "it's a very entertaining birthday list, hannah!" (and she says my oh ho ho sounds christmas-y...!)

Yeah, they might seem random to you, but it is...
INSIDE TALK TIME! (also known as "inside jokes you wont understand!" Woo!)
Oh hoh ho! I'm on a Gravitation spin today!!
::spins around all gravi-ish::
Card Captor Sakura. Yue is sad. Don't be sad, Yue. (I want to pet the kitty!)
/INSIDE TALK TIME.
Gomen, minna. halichan is hyper, and with "a very flighty mind" today.

You know what? I think I have magic powers. I'm serious! I can guess what someone's going to say before they say it. I, like, think of the words or something, and then they say them...
It's really. really.reeeeally creepy. ;_;

halichan's in a mood for little chatterings today!

Anime Revolution is very nice to look at.
(Can anyone tell I'm revamping my desktop?)

Oh ho ho! (Property of bisshie-net.)

now I'm trying to save this blog from turning into the Ugliest Thing You've Ever Seen.
And I'm failing. Miserably.

waiwai, all better now. (minna: that was quick.) I was being all depressedly and pissed off at CHERRIESNU but I gave myself a booster by going to the Anipike and laughing at all the pitiful excuses for websites.

I'm so mean. ;_; As long as they put work into it, it's just as good as it'll ever need to be. I'm so elitist. ::runs away in shame::

But with CHERRIESNU, I really am getting annoyed. I have so many high hopes, and so many ideas and ambitions and what-not... that... ah, sigh. Minna, I don't think it's *ever* going to get done. And if it ever does, heavens knows it wont be appreciated. Noone understand more than I do how much work was put into cherries, and how much will be... and yet... nobody even knows it exists! Ahh, the problems of the world today!

Minna: Just feel lucky, halichan, that that's the worst of your worries!

Ahh, wait until the fourth. So my birthday's the sixth, hai? That's also when school starts. (Oh look. Dadd's reading LFA again. Hee-hee!) So, I'm celebrating my birthday on the fourth. (I don't know what we'll be doing. Watching anime all day, I suspect. (I'm hoping to get anime. ::narrows eyes:: I'm hoping very much. For RuroKen. ::narrows further:: Among other things. ::slits eyes::) And then we're probably going to go to this Japanese food restaraunt down the street for dinner... I have no idea what Japanese food is like, to tell the truth. I've only heard that it's very... scary. Ahh. Well anyways.) I'm doing that so I can stay up late and not have to go to school the next day. ^___^ SO, on the calander I wrote HANNAH'S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS! And underneath it, now, is the following:

Hannah -- Doctor Appointment, 11pm.

::freeze frame:: I'm getting. My.

SHOTS.

::cries her little eyes out::

what the friggedy frig frig!
i am not in a good mood right now. nothing's going riiiight... ><
this isn't a sob story. this is a halichan-is-being-damned-whiny-today story. grr.
stay away. stay far, far away.

Daddy's reading my Looking For Alibrandi book... it's way way kawaii! ^__^ And he's further on than me... ^^;; Which I suppose isn't too hard, considering I've really been slacking off on my reading lately. -.-;

there's this weird knocking on our walls. (i think they're doing something to the outside of our apartment. i dunno.) it always seems to go along with the music in my headphones, though... ^.o; scawy.

Whee! I took the Yami no Matsuei personality test last night, and got:
#1 Tsuzuki Asato
#2 Torii Saya
#3 Watari Yutaka
#4 Tatsumi Seiichirou
#5 Fukiya Yuma
#6 Kurosaki Hisoka
#7 Muraki Kazutaka
#8 Konoe
#9 The Earl (^^;)
#10 GuShouShin
I know very little about Yami no Matsuei, but I hope to learn... I've been reading up on it for the past... well, ages. ^^; It sounds really cool. ^_^
that's all the halichan had to say, for today! hey!

iiiit's.... PUBLIC BLOGGING TIME! XD

Yoshi-chan! I'm glad you aren't having too many problems with that creep anymore. ::protects with darts:: (Yoshi-chan: Er... halichan? Where'd ya get those? Me-chan: ::sweatdrops::) As for J-List.... Waiwai! Fun! Only, ::mini sob:: I click under eighteen and there's still... very... graphic... yaoi... ::checks over shoulder and sweatdrops::
Koi-chan! It's good you like your new school! I think my new high school shall be good... my sister goes there too, so... ya. My first-day-of-school-schedule is as follows: Wake up. Sing Happy Birthday to myself. (;_;) Go to school. Photography, Physics I, Homeroom, X Block (<-where we do whatever the heck we want, yo! But I suspect they'll have some assembly set up. ::sob::), First Lunch, Health, English, History. Wooo. Oh well. At least I get to do photography. And then on my second day, I get to start Japanese..! Yaaaaay!
Shiori. Let me say that your layout is /yummy,/ first off. ^.^ That's really all. (Ooh, and I love the Gorillaz! It's such a pity they don't play them in the US, ne?)
/PUBLIC BLOGGING TIME

listening to: cardcaptor sakura - purizumu

You know, sometimes I have a hard time believing the world /isn't/ coming to an end.
And it's so creepy, we have a glass globe in the house.
Yes, you heard me, a /glass globe./
I almost ran screaming from the room when we got it. It's remarkably beautiful, but... creeeepyyyyy. My sister went on an exchange trip to china, and her host family gave it to us. It's so beautiful, I adore it. But I can't help thinking of the end of the world when I see it. ;_;
Save me!!

Yes, I am very well aware that this layout *sucks.* But I'm too lazy to fix it -- /again./
On a lighter note, my server's up and working..! Though that doesn't really affect much of anything, it's good. ^_^

I was tap dancing this morning.. without any shoes on. XD I haven't taken tap for, like, six years, and I only took one year of lessons. And yet, the radio was playing and I had to start dancing. To many, many songs. (Bluecantrell's Hit 'Em Upstyle, Nelly Furtado's Turn Off The Lights..) I was completely out of breath by the end, but I enjoyed myself so much. ^^;
I only hope that the people downstairs weren't too annoyed by the kathunk kathunk of my feet hitting the floor. (::lives on the sixth floor of an eight-floor apartment building::) ^^;;;;;;;;

a~yo!
I'm only (only?) allowed three hours (only??) on the computer (only?!?) for the rest of the summer. (ONLY?!!?) Okay, I get it. It's still a lot of time, but still. ::pouts:: I'm not going to have *time* next year, for the computer.
Me: I'll get my website up and done by the end of the summer!!
-1999.
Pfffft. Never gonna happen.
::bangs head against computer keys repeatedly::

Whaa! Mamma's trying to make an appointment for me to get shots before school starts. I want to crawl under a rock and never come out again, for real.
I never did the schedule. Bad hallie x2!!

my friends over. we're watching the matrix -- she's NEVER seen it before, can you beleive it? god. i know i'm such an antisocial, going on the computer. but she didn't mind -- i'm going to do my schedule, all tissied up with anime pictures. aaayaaaa. keeeen. ooomiiii. yooohjiiiiii. weiiiiisss. my new new obsession -- even though i've only read some manga translations. ::sobs:: bad hallie!
