2002 already. Gods, that was fast. But that means that my birthday is coming up and I'll finally be 18 and that I finally get to go to Japan again (2 years is too long to wait!). But then it also means graduating high school and hopefully treking to NY for college, because I Philidelphia is just so far from home!
Well, Ishiko and Mikoto pretty much summed up our New Year's party/thing, so I don't have to talk about that (I like when they cover the big events first, cuz then I don't have to!). But I must agree with both of them: Dr. Zhivago is a pretty good movie and we are the most boring people in the world.
Oh, Ishiko, I have some news for you! Plastic Tree is coming to my house soon and they'll be wearing their raincoats. They promised to bring Machi, Mayu and Kamijo with them when they come! (hopefully you can decipher this gibberish)

Waaaaiii! I just got back from watching the LOTR movie (assuming that that is the correct abbreviation)! It was so unexplainably good! I was really impressed and it almost made me feel like I should have read the rest of the book (which I have had plans to do for some months). It's probably "the best movie I've seen in the last ten years", to quote my sister. Sure, there were the few descrepencies, but I don't think it's anything too bad. And that Legolas is one sexy elf (^_^)...
Hmmm... machi, January Shoxx...hmmm... no matter how short this "thing" is, I think that I have to forfeit my turtle (which I don't have permission to get anyway) and get this magazine...

*_* I am so tired. BUT I got a new mattress, heh, heh. My old mattress had a spring poking through it, so I turned it over and then it had a big dent in it. So I started sleeping closer to the edge near the wall (so I wouldn't roll off the bed) but then the dent got bigger. So my parents bought my a new mattress as an early birthday present! And THAT was the highlight of my day...
I am FINALLY going to see the LOTR movie tomorrow. I've really wanted to see it, since I read part of the book a few months ago. I liked the part that I read alot, but I go through phases where I can or can not sit through epic novels and I couldn't read it yet. But I'm going to see the movie anyway. My parents are taking me, much like when we went to see Harry Potter, except I'm SURE that I'm going to like this alot more. It's more my kind of thing than Harry Potter (which I never even bothered to attempt to read).

Heh. I just slept through a guy cutting a hole in the wall of our house... He's been at it for like 3 hours and I slept through at least two of it... Heavy sleeper? (except for people touching me and my dog barking. those two things always wake me up!)
Well, Ishiko, Mikoto and I had what I guess was a pretty decent band practice. We actually played together, which is a first (and we were all playing the same thing when we were supposed to be). The only thing that sucked is that we can not figure out where Ishiko's guitar part is in the actual song, so we've pretty much gotta just shove it in somewhere. Alas, it can not be heard. (that alas reminded me of that Gackt poem, ishiko) I can't keep a beat for a long time, which also sucks, espcially since I am the "drummer". And I haven't quite got down this whole keyboard thing, mostly because I NEED MORE TIME TO PRACTICE! I really do. In between my real life and my webpage, I haven't had alot of time. There just aren't enough hours in the day... Was it Kamijo that wanted 48? I second that...
Ne, I heard that maybe Machi might be doing something new in the spring or around it. yyyaaaaayy! AND he dyed his hair brown (which I bet looks lovely!!).

I am completely exhausted. I must have been driving for at least six hours today. The highlights of these adventures can be read in either Mikoto's or Ishiko's blogs.
I found my dream turtle today... he/it (I assume that it's male since I've decided to give it a male name) was so cute! Mikoto and I stood there and looked at it for like ten minutes, all this after we had to find a parking space in the wrong parking lot and almost got hit by a car or two getting to the pet store. I had to drag myself away from him, because my parents said that I can't get a turtle... not yet... we'll see about that... So anyway, I liked this turtle because it was moving (unlike the others) and kept swimming into the glass and opening its mouth and really looking like it wanted to get out of there (and come home with me!).
On a not-turtle-related note, I watched the rest of my Christmas Boogiepop Phantom. What a fabulous gift, ne? My parents bought me the 2nd and 3rd DVDs, which should tide me over for a while, since I realized today that I need to pay more attention when I watch it and maybe take notes or something. But I'm tired today, so I couldn't properly focus. I might really take notes though, because sometimes I get really confused and I need to rewatch the first volume. But I'm just happy to have it. It's been almost two years since I decided that I wanted to watch Boogiepop Phantom, a decision made purely on observation from an article in a anime magazine that I bought when I was in Japan (February 2000). It's such a creepy show though... but in a pleasing way and morbid way...

Christmas... I didn't buy anyone anything this year, because my shopping is waiting until I go to Japan. Christmas in July anyone?
Poor Mikoto! Embarrassment to the family, ne? That's nice. My mom told me the other day that I have no right to judge other people until I start to dress more conservatively. Conservative? I'm decent, covered, wearing more layers than humanly necessary... okay, so maybe my clothes don't match, but hey, I must've inherited that pattern blindness from somewhere! I'm glad that I don't have to do so mayny stupid family things. I mean, I love my family, but I don't want to see them (other than immediate) constantly.
My mom keeps telling me to go to bed soon, but I can't. I slept mostly all day because having my luck I was visited today by cramps so bad that I couldn't walk at one point. Yay! What fun! (has no problem sharing personal things with others...) But I did get an awesome gift from my friends Nick and Jack, even if it was all soaked and mangled special care of the USPS for leaving it out in the weather shoved between two mailboxes at the WRONG address. Thanks US Postal Service! Anyway, the cutest thing about the whole gift was not the picture of Sapphire (BSSM, even though I loved it), but this Obi-wan Kenobi hair thing...It's especially cute because on the package next to his head they wrote "sexy" with an arrow and Ewan McGregor IS my favorite non-Japanese famous person...and for some reason the fake braids reminded me of Emiru... ^_^

I am not a healthy person...
Today Miko-chan and Ishiko and I got together and decided that we were going to have to cover the Beatles until we can cover something else. Not bad. I like the Beatles. Of course, I did a horrible job copying the pages, so I lost the drum part and have to keep the book 'til I learn it...I was quite caked out by the afternoon though. My shoulders are in alot of pain (another medical mystery) and I was SO SO tired (and another). I have no idea why, because I got my usual amount of sleep, but by the time that Ishiko and Mikoto left I had to collapse on the couch. Very unusual. I don't even NORMALLY nap so many days in a row and I have been taking ALOT of naps lately (more so than usual). Curiouser and curiouser...
Well, this is sorta funny, so I will talk about it now. Ishiko told Mikoto and I this today: She was at work yesterday and this guy who we go to school with (let's call him Chris) comes up to her. Chris proceeds to ask her if she is friends with me and *makes a motion for a short person*, meaning Mikoto. She replies in the affirmative. Then, and this is the good part, he asks her if Mikoto and I are "close". Because he heard that we were... "close" that is. Ishiko says "no", because Miko and I are friends, but not friends in THAT way. And he says "Well, I think they are." Eeeeeeee? Miko-chan? Me? Lesbians? Wahahahahahahaha! I mean really, I have no problem with that stuff and am so far from being homophobic, but it's NOT NOT NOT my choice of lifestyle. The closest thing to a woman that I have ever been attracted to was Mana and Mana is a man, no matter what! I laughed/cried for a while after Ishiko told me this. It was a little disturbing, especially since I've been "accused" before of many things that I am not. Timeline: 8th grade=witch---9th grade=still witch, also Satanist---10th grade=lesbian with Melissa (who everyone also thought was my sister, oddly enough), in a cult---11th grade=nothing, sweet nothing, except lesbian!---12th grade=lesbian, again End Timeline Hen desu ne! So now Miko and I are trying to think of what we are doing that makes us seem so lesbianesque....It's a mystery!
Miko tried to harrass my gingerbread Machi today, which Ishiko warned her not to do because it might make me cry, but I saved him before she could hurt him! And I would not have cried over an ugly cookie, even if it is an ugly Machi cookie! Christmas is only in a few days, which I can't believe, because I'm not even feeling a little festive.

Found place to host files. Virtue.nu. Address is down in my profile in the layout part for reference (of miko and ishiko). Miko, if you want to just use my account, let me know. Also, I am going to move Neo-nemesis there sometime in the future.

Must...find...new...server... Just for my blog files at that. I am perfectly content with everything as far as my sites go, except that I need a new server to store my files on for this one...*sigh*
I am trying really hard to convince myself NOT to eat my gingerbread machi. I have some how made myself believe that because it is machi, it might taste good, even though I'm not a huge fan of gingerbread. I am sorta hungry though and he is just sitting there is bag on the kitchen table...Oh and if anyone was was wondering: If I was a dead Russian Composer I would be Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and if I was from the LOTR movie I would be Legolas (oh yeah) and if I was from the cast of Friends I would be Phoebe. That's quite a set, ne.
Well, another completely insane and useless point brought to you by me. Thank you. Thank you. Time for good children to go work on their webpages!

05:42 p.m.---Friday, December 21, 2001
Ah, vacation at last...
Yeah, Mikoto, I'm not mad about that. It's a complex thing, which you will someday understand when you become me completely. (ha ha) I think part of it is that you are a pessimist and I am not. This is true, ne. But really, I feel bad about Ishiko, but have no -personal- guilt as far as things band related go. I did not feel ashamed to see her just because we happened to set off a chain reaction. I knew that everything would work itself out one way or another and luckily it was not the way that resulted in "Emerson, Lake and Palmer". (yes, I like to talk about you like you are not reading this, Ishiko-chan) And the "blood" WAS a nice touch, but if "Kyo" bites me again, I'm going to hit him. By the way, Ishiko tells me that you are suspicious of he and I...? Grrrrr... you better be nice to my Kyo-kyo! (-ooo, isn't that going to get a reaction, yuki-chan? -hai, hai. -mikoto won't like that -no, but too bad! wahahahahaha!)
Anyway, the highlight of my day (beside getting cool plastic jewelery and a shiny red notebook and I gift card to a fabric store from Amanda!) was that I decided that I want a turtle. I'm not sure what brought this up, by Mikoto said that I should get a turtle and I said that I should name it Kirito. And then I decided that I should get a turtle. Not that I can afford one, but I want one. Also, Mikoto made me a Machi gingerbread cookie! Machi! Cookie! It's really ugly, but I can't bring myself to eat him yet. She also made Ishiko a Kamijo cookie and herself an Emiru cookie.
I am SO SO glad that even though I had to be a little bitchy and stubborn about it, now that the band is whole again, we are not playing "Audrey". I HATED that song. Sure, I liked it at first when it was picked. But about a day later, I didn't. But I figured that the feeling would go away when I got used to it, but it only got worse and Mikoto always yelled at me when I said that I hated it. But now it's gone and thank the gods for that! Yay!!!!

Grrrr...
Well, today was something of a disaster, as expected, but it wasn't so bad. Ishiko was in no situation to be delt with (which I would have liked to do, since things CLEARLY need to be sorted out, but it didn't seem appropriate). Lunch was officially moved to either the photography room or my house for the time being. Tomorrow is the exchange of the "not-secret-Santa" (why is that whenever I go to type Santa is ends up closer to Satan?) gifts, and I finally remembered to wrap Mikoto's up. And despite my disability to wrap things, it looks pretty good.
Ishiko: We really need to talk, but there are a few things that I am going to say here. First, of course we have no idea what's going on in your life. I'm not sure if you've realized that we can't guess these things and you never tell us (I'm not trying to sound smug there, I know that's how it reads). Maybe if we knew more about why you are the way you are everything would make more sense. We can't just step around you all the time for fear of setting off a land mine. The other thing is, we know that we're not going on tour next week, but it's not like it's the first time that you've decided that you "don't feel like playing", and with your lack on enthusiasm and refusal to play in front of us "because it won't sound right anyway" ... It's frustrating. Sometimes it seems that to you playing guitar is a chore, something you have to do and don't like. I'll talk to you whenever you're ready.

Die appreciation time!
Well, I know that tomorrow is Dai-dai's birthday, but I'm celebrating early! Everyone better know who I'm talking about too! If you are strange and don't know, go here: Suuhai no Die. Actually, go there anyway. It's a good page. I thought about taking the test there, but then I realized that I would have to lie alot, because I'm a Tochi kind of girl and though I deeply adore Die, he is not my most favorite member of Dir, even if I do like him more than cake and ice cream. And even if I would NOT flirt with Kamijo if Die was looking, because I like Die more. (Disclaimer: Not that I am flirting with any members of Ishiko-chan's "team". That was a valid question on the test.)
So everyone go appreciate Die and wish him a Happy Happy 27th Birthday tommorrow and don't eat any fish or drink any milk!

04:17 p.m.---Wednesday, December 19, 2001
Well, I've quit.
My band that is, the band of which I am the ever-silent vocalist and also play the keyboard. I've only so far notified Mikoto, and she took it pretty well, since she followed suit less than half a second later. I'm a little disheartened by this turn of events, since we've only practiced together three times, but after today's "practice" (and I mock the very idea that we should even think to call it that much) I knew that I couldn't be in that band anymore. I've wanted to be in a band since I was 11 or 12, so it really hurt to have to give up like this on something that I've wanted to do so much for so long. Oh well. Shit happens, ne. If we can't be devoted to the idea together, I'll go back to being devoted alone.
Maybe it would have been better to say this to Ishiko's face, since I don't even know when she's going to read this. Maybe I will if she hasn't seen it by tomorrow. I love being her friend (which by itself is sometimes quite a task), but I can't be in a band with her. Our band can't live on this day-to-day feeling of playing or not playing. Even if we don't feel like playing, we should. Even if we think that it is going to kill us to do it, we should. Having a bad-but-learning guitarist would be better than having none, ne, Ishiko. We're not that experienced, so we need to practice alot. Today's "practice" was a fiasco. Mikoto didn't drag our single amp all the way to my house so that no one would use it. She brought it for Ishiko, who had been fine and happy all day, but proceeded to sit there and sulk as soon as pratice was mentioned. Miko-chan even got everything all ready and got out Ishiko's guitar for her, but she just SAT THERE with it for thirty minutes and then put it away. And it's not like this is a once in a while thing. She gets like this often enough that I gave up in only a month of being together. When Ishiko gets herself into these moods, there is no point in even trying to get anything done. And to top all that off, we can't even COMMUNICATE with her when she is angry. She just lets everything go in one ear and out the other. Communication is important if we ever want to get anywhere. I finally got the courage to talk to Ishiko about these problems, but she's not even listening to me and she's not listening to Mikoto either. The first week, she just smiled and might have listened. Today, she just put her head down and ignored. I almost feel like by writing this here, it's the only way that she'll eventually pay some attention to it. Sure, we jokingly say "Well, as long as we're good when we turn 26", but who wants to wait that long? Not me.
If she bothers to read this far, I may as well ask Ishiko this: Did you EVER even want to do this at all? When I talk to Mikoto, I see such a spark of enthusiasm. When I talk to you, I see nothing. I always get the feeling that you didn't really want to be in on this anyway. I've gotta go cook and probably cry for a few hours....

No school today. Snow. I hate snow...
I had an especially unbusy day. I did all my homework, then I ate some instant ramen and then I spent the afternoon scanning pics from j-rock mags and making thumbnails...I also talked to Mikoto on the phone for a little while. We mostly talked about her hair, and Tochi's hair (in a place that he used to shave, but so what if it's there? it's only natural...except for that he dyed it...I thought that was a little funny!). So that was that...
But I went to the library (at last!) this evening and FINALLY found that book with the twins and the loss of eyes and stuff. It's called "The Rumor of Pavel and Paali" and is a Ukranian folktale (I thought maybe it was Russian, but I wasn't sure). The end is happier than I remember it being, but if I ever use the vague idea set forth in this story, I will surely change the ending. I like stories with less happy endings. (Which is weird, but I have always been this way, even since I was little. Then again, I was also the only 5 year old who wanted to wear only black all the time...and I did.)

08:47 p.m.---Monday, December 17, 2001
It's been a good day...
Well, it was the first Malice Mizer Monday (strange cosplay holidays that my friends and I have) since they disbanded, but it went really well. Tomorrow is "Pierrot Tuesday", replacing crappy stupid "Gackt Tuesday". I get to be Kirito with that black sweatshirt deal from Dictator's Cirus V. Sans eye thing it seems, since my eyeliner is making my eyelid burn/tingle/hurt. Miko-chan is going to be Jun. Ishiko is gonna be Aiji. It should be fun! (only because we are insane...)
I GOT MY HAIR CUT! My mom did it after I pursuaded her that I needed it done. I am not ever going to grow my hair out, I guess. So much for decent Machi cosplay. The technique is to flip your head upside-down and have someone else cut straight across the bottom of your hair all flipped over like that. It's supposed to come out layered and it did! I can thank Miko-chan's mom for that one. I was feeling rather brave today so I thought that I would try it. Speaking of hair, Mikoto and I "Aiji-fied" Ishiko's hair today in something like his Neo Dramatic style. Think of it this way: Kamijo's old long hair, Aiji's style. I think it looks really pretty. Too bad it takes so long or maybe Ishiko would wear her hair like that more often. *gasp* Oh no! We didn't listen to Chanton L'amour today when I was having my "beauty salon"! At my "salon" that is what we ALWAYS listen to to start the process! Well, we did listen to Raphael...and in the credits for the CD they thank LAREINE and Machi was in Lareine, so that will have to be enough...
Yuki
05:54 p.m.---Sunday, December 16, 2001
Saw Harry Potter movie... Well, it wasn't bad, but not being a Harry Potter fan, I don't think that I truly enjoyed it. It was pretty good though, considering all. It was better than I thought that it would be. And there was this little boy in the theater who at one point shouted "No, Harry Potter! Don't do it!". I had to try really hard not to laugh.
I really have to get going on my history project. I haven't even thought about it yet. It's this thing on communist propaganda, which could be a poster (and will be in my case) but has the same grade weight as a test. Isn't that lovely? So I have to do that. I'm thinking tomorrow night, but it wouldn't hurt me to think up a layout or something. I'm sure that the teacher will not be surprised that I haven't started yet, but I always do quality work (in his opinion) so it's not a problem.
Miko-chan, your site does so still exist, cuz I just typed in the address to the Aiji pic and it was there and it loaded all right. ^_^ We really need to move the files anyway. I don't know where though.
That reminds me, I was grocery shopping with my parents today (horrible) and I saw Ryan (my only male friend, who graduated last year, so I don't see him alot). So I stopped and we talked about video games (FF X and Metal Gear Solid 2. Well, I talked about Gackt in regards to the latter...). After that I went back to find my parents and my dad said something along the lines of "Flirting with the boys, huh?" With Ryan?! Never. Ryan is cool, but I would NOT flirt with Ryan, because he IS Ryan! I couldn't believe that my dad said that. It was sorta funny though...

Archived...
Yay!!!!!! My CDs came in today (Sotsugyo, Raphael and Jealous, Dir en Grey)! I was kinda hoping that they would... I was sleeping on the couch when my dad came in with them, so I practically fell over and killed myself as I sprung up to receive my package. For the record: Yes, I did cry when I was listening to the Raphael one, but not until the third track!!! (Ishiko and Miko were betting that I was going to cry.) I REALLY like the "silent" version of Lost Graduation. It's so pretty. Also, I had fun listening to Jealous, because it's the first press, not the re-release and it came with a Tochi card!
Today Mikoto and I went shopping. It was surprisingly less crowded then we thought it was going to be which was really nice, because I hate driving in traffic. Miko got Melissa her present (which I am not at liberty to speak about). Then I guilted her into buying a jacket so that she could be like Jun from Pierrot! (not exactly like his, but it's close enough) It was SO SO SO hard to get her to buy that damn thing. I knew that she wanted it, so I had to be the bad guy and make a big fuss and be a big jerk so that she'd buy it and not regret it later. It was only $16 after all. But now she's decided that she loves it, so I am relieved. Of course, I was still a jerk after that when she was complaining about how poor she was. *_* She got the FULL version of the "stop spending money, stupid" speech, which I know well, because I get it ALOT from she and Ishiko! I felt bad for being so mean, but I was only doing the "honest fried thing" that Ishiko always does for me! (like when I wanted that Kazuki photo book and I had to call her to talk me out of it). I don't have Miko watch my spending, because she's the one who said it was OK for me to get Sotsugyo, even after I told her she could hit me for spending my money. Miko said that she wasn't going to buy anymore j-rock stuff until April. I don't believe her! She's supposed to be going to Boston with Ishiko next week and I know that if there are any j-rock mags to be found, she will buy them... (you know you will!)
But anyway, while I am talking about MONEY: Ishiko, you now owe my mommy $78. Mikoto, you owe $96. You can pay in installments, but we don't hand over any goods until they are paid for, of course. I split the order so the Pierrot stuff should be in by the end of the month or so (So that's $60.50 each for the Pierrot stuff by the end of the month!) . Everything else will be delivered in February. My mom let Ishiko and Miko-chan order things from HMV with her credit card! Isn't she nice?! It seems like recently, my friends always owe my mom money! I am mad though. They are going to get their Pierrot stuff before my Fiction CD comes in! (BTW, Miko, Missa IS in now, so your cds are just sitting there WAITING for my Fiction cd...) Waaaaahhhh...cd wa doko desu kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
