So, my trip is drawing to a close and I leave three days from today. I'm both really happy and really sad about it. This trip has just been the best thing ever to happen to me. I want to see many more countries. I want to come back again and see more of this one. I want to see more of my own country, too. I really love Japan. I actually didn't expect it to be as fun and amazing as it was. It was a pleasant surprise.
I'm going to miss Mitsuyo a lot. She's such a nice lady. I brought her a present here but she was much, much nicer than I expected and now I want to buy her another before I go home T__T
I've been really clumsy since last night. I really wore myself out in Kyouto, so much I was really close to nodding off on the bus back to the station. -_-; I need a hardcore massage as soon as I get back to the States as I am all kinds of sore. And a JOB because good GOD do I have a severe shopping problem.
Hey, Tanya, thanks for ripping your stuff onto my computer! \:D/ My utter lack of underground Japanese music on this computer is no more. Sorry I couldn't see you off this morning. Good luck in Tokyo!
And now, for my accounts.
( Pura.Collapse )
( SapporoCollapse )
( KyoutoCollapse )
Next will be a friends-only post, documenting the...um... juicier bits of the trip. (and NO, I do NOT mean that in a sexual way. Nothing sexual happened to anyone on this trip. Okay? OKAY. :D)
and now, ( PICTURES.Collapse )

Things you enjoy, even when no one around you wants to go out and play. What lowers your stress/blood pressure/anxiety level? Make a list, post it to your journal... and then tag 5 friends and ask them to post it to theirs.
001. Running. Outside, in the house, I just like to run. (Especially when my head is a tornado of inspiration; running helps me to sort it out and decide what I shall do with it.)
002. Playing piano. I've been known to practice piano or improvise for 4 hours straight; I start and just get hooked and the time just flies by, kinda like how some people are with video games.
003. Listening to music. Sometimes, I like to just put on a song I love, and just get lost in it, exploring every little thing about it.
004. Putting together interesting outfits or makeup and taking pictures.
005. Watching a favourite movie or show (A Clockwork Orange, Star Wars, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Azumanga Daioh, yadda yadda yadda)
...there are actually a whole lot more, but I won't crowd your FLs with it.
Also, this meme has been circulating like crazy, and I think most of you have done it so I'm not going to make anyone do it again. If you haven't done it yet and want to, feel free to take it from me.
In other news, today I did some mad shopping. For myself and for a few friends, as per usual. Let's just say I dropped my bank account on its head like a wet, slippery baby. Let's also say that if I've known you for a really long time, you'll die of cuteness, if I plan on seeing you somewhat soon you'll die of weirdness, and if your birthday is the same as my return date, you'll die of Dir en grey. Thank goodness for all my graduation money. We went aaaall over Shinsaibashi, and we saw the weirdest fucking signs EVER. omg. I can't wait to upload the pictures. There was one that said "Harf Woman" that I totally want to submit to Engrish.com, and one that was like "There is no substitute for OKONOMIYAKI. -Beethoven-" which was just wtf.
Gonna go play with Finale. Finale is my new best friend. *skitters off*

Saw Guruguru Eigakan tonight, and some other cool band that I didn't catch the name of because I am now half-deaf (but only temporarily.) Oh my god, it was awesome. I'm so glad Tanya asked me if I wanted to go; Guruguru puts on an amazing(ly funny) show.
Tomorrow = clothes shopping. <3333 And holy fuck, going to Sapporo on Thursday. Apparently we'll be hanging out with the band the whole time we're there? @__@ NUTS. FUCKING NUTS. <33333333
A new muse popped up in my head. They have no gender, were born in mid-December, and they're named R. Nevo'na Viktor. (called Nevo) Nevo has one hazel eye and one blue, and white hair with red streaks. I'll draw pictures. I don't know that much about them yet, though. How do I refer to something that has no gender? They look very, very feminine but they act pretty masculine. I'll just say "R".
What? Get out of my house!
Was? Verlassen Sie mein Haus!
何？ 私の家を出ろぜ！
Later. <3

[12 Jun 2005|01:05pm] |
Well, I've gotten a mite impatient and so I have decided to show you guys ( MORE PICTURES!Collapse )
Tanya will be here in about 3 hours!!! I'm so excited. Haha, the other night, we went to Nanba, I bought cool clothes for myself and a birthday present for somebody who'd better like it *cough* Then we had to go to Mitsuyo's bar so Aki could watch over it until she got there. We fooled around with the karaoke machine, then people started coming in. They made me sing and introduced Akuri and I to a whole slew of terrible, terrible Japanese puns. Mitsuyo came with more of her friends, hilarity ensued, and they must have made me sing like 15 songs #_# It was a lot of fun.
I should get back to writing the postcards I'm sending to my family. Byebye! <3
edit Did I mention they have a dog that steals underwear? Well, they do. D:
'nother edit

Hay, I updated sabrael with a poem that desperately needs a title. oh well, I'll do it later.
ASGDJKHGSASDA I made a spelling error while typing it. Stupid keyboard. Hate. Oh well. I fixed it. But only after yelling at an increasingly slow computer "People will see my error and laaaaaugh!! HURRYYYYY!". But it's fixed now. Go look!

Okay, so my laptop gets internet access at Mitsuyo & Aki's house. I've just been not really bothering with the internet that much. Too many other things to do XD. Well, it's really nice here in Osaka. Like, awesomely nice. And the Plastic Tree live was last night; OMFG that was awesome. <3 But I was so tired afterwards akuriko and I came home and I almost fell completely asleep in all my clothes and makeup. I'm documenting it in my real journal so I'll be sharing it with you later. Just letting everyone know that I did get here safely and smoothly, and that I am having a really good time.

I won't be able to finish that picture meme. ^^;;; I'm sorry! I just really need to spend the whole day getting ready, 'cause I didn't finish packing last night.
So, at this time tomorrow I will be in the sky, leaving the USA for the first time in my life. I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself.
To the people who will be there with me, I can't wait to see you and be with you all there and have a totally kickass time together. To the people who aren't coming, I'll miss you a lot!
Alright. Time to get all my errands done.
Goodbye!

Every endeavor is worthy.
Every person is worthy.
I can't set standards or gauges anymore. It gets in my way.
I'm going on a three-week vacation. I'm working hard on the biggest project I've ever taken on. These, among other things, will help me grow. But I can't think about growing. I just have to do it. Otherwise, I'll be hurt, and if I'm hurt, I'll go backwards.

dslkhfakjsdlhflkjashflakjehtiluhldg I'm almost done taking the pictures everyone requested in that meme. but for now, here are two from yesterday and today. I'm sorry, I've just been LKJFHGSDLFUHERUIL BUSY.
You will be able to see them tomorrow. Oh my GOD. I am worn out in the best way.
Have you ever had times when just .everything. feels like it did at a different point in your life? It's not the weather, it's different from deja vu, it's different from nostalgia... it's like gravity or something, and then your mood matches up with it all; or sometimes not. Like you think, "Today is somehow exactly like [other time in one's life], only this time, I'm happier." It's somehow like making a cake.

| anime hair, go me. |
[29 May 2005|03:39am] |
Okay. My hair colour now makes me look like the lovechild of Rei Ayanami and Sailor Neptune. I like it, for some odd reason, but I think I'm gonna pick up a little more dye tomorrow just to even things out.
Bleach BURNS. Never doing that EVERAGAIN.

I'm home. I'm tired. I'm lonely. Alinea made me chase her around and she followed me around like a duckling. And now I miss her. And the rest of my new relatives. Cousin Holly couldn't have married into a cooler family *^.^*
Gonna go bleach my hair now.

So, I'm in VA and I DO get internet access. Not like any of you care. <3 But hey. It's internet access. And that is nice. I was up all night last night, all day today and I am SO tired.
I am full of teh love for Aunt Sallie and all my little second cousins. <3 <3 <3
I need a shower, but I'm so tired I'll have to crawl the few centimeters between myself and the bathroom. e_e
WHY IS NOBODY ON AIM? HUH?

Well, I'm off to Virginia for cousin Holly's wedding. Miraculously I overcame whatever it was that was preventing me from singing (Fuck, that's the sickest I've been in over a year! And it wasn't even that bad!) so no worries there.
I'll bring my laptop but I don't know how much interbutt access I'll be getting, if any.
And now, for a long car-ride filled with reading Canterbury Tales. Bye~!

Your Inner European is Italian! |

Well, it's a quarter true :D
Is it new layout and icons time? It is SO new layout and icons time. I finally have a good idea, too. <3 Well, I have THREE good ideas. Help me pick one. And no, I will not make a poll because I'm too lazy. :*
Option 1. Battle Angel Alita
Option 2. Something with that picture of a broken watch and old lightbulbs and sheet music
Option 3. Plastic Tree
Heh, screw all of those (for now, at least. I'll probably switch to Option 2 sometime in the next couple months.) I'm going back to my original idea of Merry. BUT THE EVANGELION MOOD ICONS STAY. FOREVER. ...until I say otherwise.
...Dude, something about Mother Stands for Comfort reminds me of Shokubeni. I think it's the glass noises. o_o

Once you understand your current self through and through, you find that it's time to change once again.
I'm through being embarassed about and masking my energy and enthusiasm, my geekiness and "fruitiness", just so I seem more "mature" or what the fuck ever.
DONE.
I don't care who thinks I'm uncool for it. I don't care who's irritated by it. I care and I don't care what anyone else thinks about it. :D

Your Dominant Thinking Style: | Visioning
You are very insightful and tend to make decisions based on your insights.
You focus on how things should be - even if you haven't worked out the details.
An idealist, thinking of the future helps you guide your path.
You tend to give others long-term direction and momentum. | Your Secondary Thinking Style: | Experimenting
You're all about looking at the facts, and you could always use more of them.
You see life as your lab - and you're always trying out new things, people, and ideas.
The master of mix and match, you're always coming up with unique combinations.
You are good at getting a group to reach consensus. |
Sorry my posts have no substance recently XD I am trying to save that energy for my baaaabyyyyy... *pets scripts*
I want a new layout soon. This time I think I want something a bit on the weirder side.
