^___________________________________________^ I got four hours of sleep last night. This morning. Heh. Demon Project Type Two is done. Now it's the English and prayer projects. ^____________________________^ I'm so tired, I don't care! XD
Chatted with Kubo yesterday and finally figured out how to work my mic for voice chat. Then he got in trouble because it was 2:30AM and we were still doing stuff. Whee. Am going out to dinner tonight with the family and friends to a country club type place. Supposed to dress "nice." Guess my punk clothes won't cut it, but my black ones will! Keh keh keh. Conducted the Freshmen Half-Day Retreat today and had a group to lead...yay. Am going to lead a Sixth Grader retreat on Monday. Joy. I have bad memories of middle school. Grr.
The Word of the Day: Shitkicker. Heh. It just sounds funny. My friend next to me just about fell off her chair in the media center. XD It was funny too! Now she's talking about "chocolate logs" ... I have bad images. Eew. This is damn funny...I'll so regret blogging when I don't have my mental inhibitors on. w00t. Today's just been crazy, ended up renaming someone in my keitaidenwa (cell phone) directory from Stew (her nickname) to ShitkickerStew which just sounds even funnier. She called me from two feet away and Alicia looked at her and said, "You stupid shitkicker" while laughing. It sounded funny so I renamed her that and so I wouldn't forget who it was, I placed her name after it. Hence, ShitkickerStew. *giggles* I can be vulgar when I'm tired.
Nyet.

AP Calculus test. Took it this morning. Result? Shit in a frying pan. Why Math? Why? Argh.
It's been decided, I'm accepting (already accepted...about 20 minutes ago) the Air Force Scholarship. Into the Blue - or something like that. I just picked up my psych book for the project due tomorrow. To everyone I owe e-mails...expect them sometime after the 13th of May. That's the last project I have that's due. Thank the kamis. Crap, I have that prayer paper due too... eh. I'm still on a NightCrawler kick, but wouldn't it be just my luck - there are no good NightCrawler pictures. How hard is it to find a picture of the blue boy praying? He prays all the time. Come on! ;_; Please? Damn. Well, I'll figure something out. Once I do, there'll be a new layout I promise. After the 13th. Yes.
Ro is coming home! XD I'm so uber-happy about that. She's staying with us for about a month. Ro is my exchange student sister who should have been my real one. Grr. ^.^ Am still v. happy.
Meimi tells me that Angel and Buffy kicked arse. Well...Angel kicked arse. Buffy was Apocalypse Sex. Kennedy and Willow got it on...and burnt people's brains. It hurt my mind just to hear about it. XO Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Yuri is absolutely fine, but I liked Tara. Tara made me happy. Kennedy is a rapist. There was "lickage" on-screen. Entirely too graphic from what I've heard. We all expected her to tie Willow up and throw her in a closet to do "unmentionable" things to her, but instead it's one of those "Oh, my heart is broken and I'll never love again. Hey, let's snog!" type of deals. Spike/Buffy was good so I heard... I missed the kick arse Angel ep though, so am sad. But Meimi is going to download it and give it to me, so am v. happy! XD
. . . . . . . . . I can't believe I just wrote an entire paragraph on Buffy and Angel. . . . . What's happened to me?! XO Must go finish the psych report because I HAVE to wake up tomorrow or Tousama will leave me again like he did this morning. I feel like such a f*cktard right now.

I don't have a new layout ready. I suppose I could throw the April layout up...or just save it until I have a Xelloss-obsession moment again. Eh. I'll figure something out. Right now I'm at school yet again (blagh) and busier than sin. Have been notified that I received an Air Force Scholarship after I figured I wouldn't get one because it was after the notification date. Go figure. A Type 7, 4-year, Any Major which I don't really qualify for, but it can be converted to a Type 2, 3-year, Any Major in my Sophomore year. This alleviates much of the guilt I've been feeling, but also makes me wonder if this is really what I want to do. Within the next three days I have to schedule my physical/med exam and then by the 20th I must send in my acceptance letter. XO Still have three projects to do. I hate school.
Saw X2 on opening day (XD Yatta!) with Meimi and my folks. Heh. Much love to Marvel. The movie was great except for the overabundance of love-triangle crap. I'm not much into chick flick type deals so while I sat through it I kept hoping someone would just jump the other one and kick the other's arse. Or just kiss god-dangit and get it over with. ...well, then they did. ^^; Most interesting. Jean Grey, my what a naughty girl. >D Rogue needs to realize that Logan is about 40 to 50 years too old for her. That's just...ew. Got to see Pyro (yay, FlameHead) and ShadowCat (briefly), but my favorite is and always will be NightCrawler. They did a fantastic job with him. "Hello, my name is Kurt Vagner, but in the mystic circles I am known as NightCrawler." He says it to Every. Person. He. Meets. XD I wuvvle him. NC was always my favorite because his past is actually cryable and he has Mystique (my other favorite character) as his Mummy Dearest. His sister is Rogue and his brother ends up to be the head of the Friends of Humanity (anti-mutant organization) - how much more of a twisted family can you hope for? :D He has this strange fascination with God and that just makes him so much more fun to love. Maybe he'll be my next layout if I can get a good picture and enough time to mess with it. Eeee!
Still in love with Ian as Magneto. He had all the best lines! I won't spoil it just yet. Maybe tomorrow, but I'll get around to quoting him. He's so worth it. Made me sad though, that the movie people decided to squish three storylines into one movie. Anyone else just not expect to be meeting up with Phoenix that quickly? They didn't explain why Jean was acting so funky but I assumed it was because of her Cerebro jaunt. "Gee, let me try to contact all the world's mutants even though I'm WAY TOO WEAK." I love Jean, but sometimes she's just so damn girly. So is Scott...no wonder they fit.
Meimi found a Buffy-Spike Sexcapades quiz that she says I must try. Heh, should be interesting. Am much saddened by Xander's lost eye. ;_; It's NOT FAIR. Yes, I do watch on occasion, enough to know who is who and WHO SHOULDN'T LOSE HIS EYE. *sigh* Poor Xander. Bitchy Buffy - she got kicked out and I felt bad for her a little, but she deserved it a little too.

Holy crap.
I missed the entire month of April due to school and college related absences. ... I was going to update, revamp, answer e-mail and do all those other things one is SUPPOSED to do on Spring Break, but SB was eaten alive. Went back East to visit Bennington and Mount Holyoke Colleges, stayed overnights, introduced myself as the lowly prospie; basically did all the things one is supposed to do on visits minus internet time. Then toured about the East Coast because we couldn't get a flight back sooner than April 21. So I spent Easter in Boston with my cousin at her friend's apartment (BU has SCREWED UP GUEST POLICIES)and at Anime Boston, the convention there. They thought it was going to be small - 500 people at max. Well...the convention is in Boston. Boston has more colleges per square mile than any other city in the world. I feel sorry for the convention people, they had over 5,000 people show up from as far away as Ohio. Although, they should have expected it as every college started registering their anime clubs. Geh.
XD Got to meet Hsiu! Wandered around her hometown and saw the sights then ate at this Italian restaurant with REALLY GOOD DESSERT. XD We shared a frozen orange sorbet type of thing and it was soooo tasty. :D Cannot articulate how happy I am that I got to meet her. XD XD XD
Forgot to mention that in Boston I was led around on a leash made of my trenchcoat belt by my cousin and her friend Dana. Yay, fun. Got choked a couple times, but eh...that's what happens when your costume is the stereotypical uke.
Back home on the 22nd of April, spent one day of seven hour research for a killer World Religions project at the library. Came home and typed. All. Night. Long. Didn't get it done.
23rd of April, spent all day typing and partly sleeping in because I had been going on less than 5 hours of sleep per day during the Back East Trip. That night went to an awards ceremony honoring Outstanding High School Seniors. w00t. Or something. Went out to dinner after that and got home around 12:00... I slept. For one hour. See, the next day we (Tousama and I) decided to go down to Southern Cali to check out the colleges down there. Well, in order to make the tour/appointment Tousama had set for Thursday at 10:00 AM, we had to leave my hometown in the north at 2:00 AM. Joy ensued.
24th of April, wake up at 1:30 - 2:00 and leave the house. I took my laptop with me, but slept the entire way up. Still no internet. Twas sad. Got to Scripps College in Claremont and went: "O_O Holy crack is this place nice." Was much impressed. Spent the night at a dorm, spent the night actually typing up 5 pages of my term project. Got to bed around 3 in the morning. Woke up the next morning at 7:50 - 8:00 AM. To go visit another college.
25th of April, drove out to Irvine to visit the UC there. Wandered around the campus all day until about 5:00 PM. Saw everything possible, talked to everyone possible - around 5 I realized the last meal I ate was at 8:00 that morning. Realization was brought on by the fact that I could no longer concentrate on walking, speaking, or reading letters without getting a mild headache or starting to fall asleep. ... and I was cranky. Not a good thing. Still, we saw Irvine then headed back north to home. Stopped off in LA to eat and see if we could find the LA Kinokuniya. Got there one minute before it closed and bought something for my best friend, then we scooted off back home.
26th of April, got home at 5 or 6 in the morning. Unloaded the car and died in bed. Woke up around 11:00, showered, got ready and left for San Jose for my grandfather's 49-day service. In Buddhism, the deceased are remembered on days at the multiple of 7. Went to dinner with the entire family as we always do on memorial services, went back to my aunt's house for after-dinner family things as we always do on family gatherings, left San Jose around 8ish and drove (I actually did the driving, not someone else...igh) back home. Got home, did more work on the Demon Project Type Two (Type One having been the Bible class project for the same teacher...I hate projects). Still no internet. Twas tired, sad, and frustrated.
27th, woke up at 8 and went to a SRT meeting at 10... I'm so friggin' tired of meetings. The actual reason I'm writing all this down is just to justify why I haven't done jack on this site or for all my internet friends. I AM SO SORRY. Life has royally slapped me in the arse and I haven't recovered yet. I'm trying...I'll get back to all of you as soon as I can bitch-slap school back. Probably shouldn't use that term... Anyway, spent the rest of the 27th doing the project and other things I can't even remember right now.
28th, back at school. HATE. HATE. HATE. Not the school, people, or events themselves - I just can't stand to be in one place and do the exact same things over and over and over again. The monotony is getting to me. Had homework and did it. Spent time trying to unwind my mind by playing Neverwinter. Then got yelled at for playing Neverwinter. Felt guilt over college and the financial situation. BLARGH.
Basically, I've spent the last few days doing work and trying to come to terms with my college decision. I'm staying in Cali, going to Scripps and all. Unfortunately, I didn't get anything from the Air Force and that means the family has to pay the entire tuition costs which is much more than I think is necessary. So much guilt. ... The Demon Project Type Two is eating me alive. I have three others I have to finish now. English (not started), Psychology (not started, except for title page and table of contents), and Prayer class (not hard, but not started). I'm getting all those done this weekend if I can. It's insane. Also found out I'm salutitorian (not that I'm awake enough to spell the word correctly...) for my high school and I need to write a speech. <sarcasm>Joy to the world</sarcasm>. I'm at school yet again and on my free, thus I am writing to let everyone know what's been going on. I haven't read BmB for...let's see...two months? Damn am I behind on everything. </bitch, whine grovel mode>

Prolonged absence. It's been a strange month. College reports came back and I was accepted to all the ones I applied to (yay), but now it seems without financial aid I can't get into any of them but one or two (crad). School has finally begun to lighten up a little, but there are problems going on in a group I belong to and it's causing a lot of stress and anger in the group. But the real reason I've been gone so long is because on Tuesday March 12, 2003 my maternal grandfather passed away. Death is never easy to come to terms with and being that the family was really close to him, we're all having a hard time. Some of us what to settle his affairs quickly so we don't draw out the pain of the loss while some of us don't want to rush into anything just yet. My paternal grandfather passed away 7 years ago this upcoming December, so now both my grandmothers are living alone. However, we've been trying to arrange my maternal grandmother's affairs so that she's taken care of now that she has to be alone. In other words: my day has sucked for awhile.
So it seems like I'm back and I have a new layout ready for April and I'll get back to all my e-mails as soon as I can. I think I need to do research for a lot of projects coming up and finish an essay or two before tomorrow. On the upside of things, my crap poetry actually won something in a contest and I'll be reading it on April 5.
I'm still really bitter about how certain colleges refuse to grant my family financial aid and how my family won't accept the loans they do give us. Loans aren't bad. If it gets me to the college I'm all for it. Parents see things differently and I get the impression one of them doesn't want to pay for the tuition costs unless I get half or more off. Understandable considering that I applied to mostly private schools with tuitions of 27,000 to 37,000, but I'm still wondering why I can't just take a loan if they offer it. Especially if they offer no interest loans, that'd be nice. Money sucks. Damn it all.
"Annie" went well. Played to a total number of 1,400 people. Very cool. Discovered the Joy of Neverwinter Nights and am now fully addicted. ^_^ I'm a chaotic good ranger, yo. I have all but one of the Waterdhavian creatures - the cockatrice - and am not sure if I am ready to go after it or not. It's like a chicken medusa. ...chicken. Yum. There's an interesting picture. o.x Lomendel (my chara) eating the cockatrice (bad name for such a dirty minded soul as myself)... Geh. Now I have other pictures that involve eating of a different sort. Ew. Not going there.

Had my interview yesterday but came home rather late and tired...plus I had to clean The Abyss. Took much time. Yes. But the interview is done and rather than take one hour and a half it was only 30 minutes. Capt. Fekkes (like Zechs with an F) told me it was great that it only took that long because most people had to spend the hour explaining why they had prior arrest/traffic violation records or drug abuses in their pasts. Kaze being a good child has not done much in the way of illegal activities. That and I hate drugs and alcohol - drugs because they screw with the brain and I need as many brain cells as I can, and alcohol for the same reasons and it smells. Eww. So it seems to have gone well, one can only hope.
On the other note, today is Ash Wednesday and I spent the greater part of the hour in a school liturgy. Because it is Ash Wednesday, they performed the song "Ashes" and whammo! I found the lyrics that I had originally wanted to use for this layout. Damn. Well, here were the original lines supposed to go on the chibiKamui at his burning mommy's house pic:
I get out SO early this Friday: 12:10 to be exact. Yay for me. It's an early dismissal for seniors (it's good to be on top, take that as you wish) and I have my free block before the early dismissal.

Listening to: Time of Gold Flowing, PSME
I'm back and with a vengeance. Finally get to blog! XD Blog-kun has been feeling ignored, so I gave it a cookie. Albeit a rather odd cookie - new layout goodness. Reason for my protracted absence: School is a biotch. Where do people find time to blog? I missed the entire month of February and skipped a layout. Don't expect coherence from me, I blog now in short-form.
Am in the school musical Annie as the stiff housekeeper Mrs. Greer. Practices have been running until 6PM everyday and I usually get home around 6:30PM. Then comes homework and other crap. By the time I get done it's 10:30 or so and I'm dead tired so I drop to sleep. Or something like it. Now...Social bloggage!
Ko: Glad you had fun at the con and go you for the Seigaku uke and X cosplay. Keiichi-cosplay! XD You brightened the days of many fangirls I'm sure. The burning ant seems strangely at peace with his death...but Anty Python and the Cubicle Worker Ant take my votes for *WANT*! XD
Shadow: Eee, false labor. Will take your quizzes soon and I bow to your mastery of l33t speak. I need to see you on AIM more often... I need to be on AIM more often. >o<
*sniffle* I miss you.
Hsiu: Hope the cold goes/went away quickly. Everything causes cancer nowadays, even hair dye. Yo to bladder cancer. Radishes taste funny. They're crunchy, but smell all spicy-weird. *sniffle* I miss you. Must meet on AIM. x.X
Fox: Don't know if you even read this, but Happy Birthday. You rock. Rejoice, thy midterms are over.
Collin: Don't know if you'd even care to read this. Glad to see mid-terms over and done. And that the light of happiness is in your life. You deserve much.
Kim: Your layout both disturbs and amuses me. snrg. Somehow the image of Subaru molesting anyone sticks at odd angles in my brain. Sorry that you couldn't find an Uke, but hey - take your SemePride and flaunt! XD
Crickey, I post weird bloggage. I have an AFROTC interview this Tuesday at 3:30. Must pare down resume to one page - whereas I have jackcrap to write about. I'm freaking cold right now. It's 70 degrees outside and about 45 in the house. Though I feel accomplished to have finished this damn blog. Ugh, nothing interesting happening to me except school-related crap. Best part of my month: Bennington College interview that went well. The interviewer was really quite kind and we seemed to get along well. Now it's up to me to finish off my AFROTC one... I hope I don't frick it up. It's my only chance at getting some serious college funding.
I hate it when parents say, "don't worry about the money" then come back and say "well, USF and UCI are your best bets. Considering how much the others cost." Then they get a bit uptight and angry when you say, "Hey, I'll join the military because I *want* to and because they'll give me the best education for free!" And I don't want to be a lawyer, my father finally realized that. He's been secretly pushing that on me for awhile and I just flat out told him it was starting to annoy me. He acted surprised, apologized, joked about it - we're back on normal terms. College funding aside, family life kicks arse. I love it. Here's hoping Leslie hasn't frozen to death in Boston. I miss her.
The musical began on Thursday with a special preview for Sr. Barbara's Golden Jubilee (celebrating her 50 years as a nun). Friday we sold out and had to turn people away - that's over 275 people watching us sing our little hearts out. Any apprehension I had about singing on-stage are pretty much gone. Besides, backstage between my scenes I'm doing Tarot readings. So it's all good.
I'm pissed though - they cancelled Invader ZIM. That was the greatest cartoon that ever lived in America and they cut it because it was "too dark for young viewers." ... No friggin' duh. It's drawn by Jhonen Vasquez, the same guy who did Jhonny the Homocidal Maniac. You don't think it's going to be a little off-key? I'm pissed at Nickelodeon now because they ripped my fav American cartoon off the air. They suck. Grr.
Have another performance tonight along with a cast party I think. Last night went to Applebees, had a virgin Mud Slide (oh so oishii), came home at 11PM and crashed on the couch. Yo. Lovin' life as a trusted and responsible legal adult. Am learning to drive too. Go me.
