Miko-chan, we need to work on your blog more! I will e-mail you sometime with the changes or something...
Also, Freeservers is being a jerk. They are making it so that it's harder to have images hosted there show up on other pages. That's why things haven't been showing up. Just to let, Miko and Ishiko know. I'm gonna try and find another place to host stuff, so I'll let you know. I really need to get my own domain, ne? Too bad I can't even afford that. Well, maybe when I get a real job. (and after I go to Japan and get settled at college...wah...)

NNNNNNNnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooo!~~~ Malice Mizer is stopping work together!! This is so sad! What will the world be like without Malice Mizer!? (well, my world) I was having such a good day too, and then I come home only to find this out... *sigh* At least they are still doing solo work, right? Right? I hope that it is good. I will faithfully follow Mana to the ends of the earth! But they were together for 9 years and were a fabulous band... good things never last forever right? But I'm going to allow myself to be whiny about it tonight, because it is MM and I am a fan (after which I will get over it! they worked hard!). When bands break up there's always that one or two members who just disappear off the face of the planet (*cough cough Emiru cough*). Even so, this is NOT pleasant news. There goes concentrating on my history essay, ne. Now all that has to happen is that machi has to stop making music and Dir en Grey has to break up... Now THOSE would send me over the edge...
Aside from my obvious distress, I had a good day. Miko-chan, Ishiko and I went down to some school in MA to talk about j-rock and anime (mostly j-rock, because we were leaning that way the whole time and finally they gave in) to 6-9th graders. It was all good, except for in the very beginning when Susan-san (who works there and who is in our Japanese class) made us get up in front of a small auditorium of kids and talk...wah... that was bad. Not to mention that we were all "Harajuku-ed" (in a now less popular style, seeing the way Harajuku cosplay is recently) and all the kids just STARED at us. It was distressing, but we survived and then got tossed into a smaller classroom setting. We watched some Lareine and Pierrot and listened to Dir en Grey and LLV. Wahahaha. I also got the pleasure (really) of explaining Angel Sanctuary... I had a LARGE amount of AS stuff with me, as most of my anime/manga collection is AS related, so I had to talk about it. Luckily, no one asked about the Higuri You artbook, ne. ^_^;
I've been crying too much in the last two days... No wonder I'm on "team over-emotional" or "team visine" (inside joke) or whatever it was. Yesterday it was Mikoto cruelly contining to point out to me that Kazuki (Raphael) has passed away. (Which I admit, I am quite touchy about, but at the time that he died I absolutely adored him as much as I could possibly adore someone that I didn't know. I know it's really strange and stupid to be so sensitive about that sort of thing, but I cry VERY easily about anything. And plus, his music was really wonderful, so it's sad not to have anything new.) And then today I cried because MM is gone (in a whole band form, that is). Whhhhooooo. I really need to stop this over-emotional stuff. (not that I'm going to. I cry about EVERYTHING. I can't help it. I try, but it doesn't go away. I'm too sensitive!!!!!) Speaking of things that make me cry, maybe my stuff (CDs) will come in the mail this week! But at least that would be happy crying!

Guess what?! My college essay is done! Wai wai wai! I was weird because Mikoto called me this morning and told me to work on the damn thing or else (!) and then I waited two hours to do that... and then after I started it took me three hours to write three sentences I liked (mind you, I was online looking at other things at the same time!)... and then I ate dinner and magically finished it in about ten minutes. *_* All that time for ten minutes! I coula been thinking more about Emiru-ningyo instead! (Emiru-ningyo being the first in what may be the long line of the Ningyo family!)
Why does everything think that this school (the one we are going to on Tuesday) is in Vermont? No one ever said Vermont, ne. Deerfield is in MA. Susan-san doesn't even live in VT...
Well, my arm hurts. Not sure why, but I've got this stabbing pain down my whole left arm every time I unbend my elbow (or play the keyboard, which I did attempt to practice!). Itaiiiiiiiii!
Ishiko: I will send you Jessica tonight. Quality is sucky, but I encoded everything all goopy so that no one will want to burn CDs with 'em. Also (Mikoto included now) have you ever seen that picture of Die putting on his makeup? Kawaii Die-die! I will send it to you if neither of you has seen it!

I need to eat. My stomach is probably very empty right now. All I've eaten all day was rice (breakfast and lunch, yes, but it wasnt't alot). But before I go eat my sushi (yay!), I have to talk about this:
I've been thinking recently about some of my favorite stories from when I was little. Mostly the fairy tales. I was watching a video of a lot of stuff that my mom taped off TV in the late 80's/early 90s and there was this show (something like Storyteller? a Jim Henson production...) and it had this story about a woman who wants a baby so much that she has a hedgehog and he grows up and realizes that he's ugly and goes and lives alone in the woods. Then a long time later a king (who is lost in the woods) meets him and they make a deal that the first living thing that greets the king when he returns home, (the hedgehog is going to get him there) he will give to the hedgehog. It's the king's daugther. So the princess and the hedgehog get married and every night he turns into a man and leaves his quills with her. And then, jerk that she is, she burns them! And he leaves. So she wanders 'til she finds him and tells him that she searched a long time and loves him and that breaks the spell and he turns into a man forever and they live happily ever after. I really liked this video when I was little. I still do. I'm going to watch it later.
Another story was this one about these twin boys, one becomes rich and mean and the other becomes poor, but kind. The poor one ends up giving his eyes to his brother in exchange for moldy grain or something. Does anyone else know this one? I can't remember it for the life of me, but I REALLY liked it. (It was a children's book, believe it or not.) If anyone knows what it's called, please do share that with me. I won't be able to get to the local library for a while...

If I were a work of art, I would be Piet Mondrian's Composition A. I am rigidly organised and regimented, although my cold and unapproachable exterior hides a clever way of thinking and a rebellious and innovative nature. A lot of people don't understand me, but I can still affect them on an emotional level. Which work of art would you be? The Art Test Yup, that's me... How much more boring could a painting be?! Sorry to any fans of it, but I have ALWAYS hated this painting... (I can now add "Internet Quizes" to the "you know you are bored when..." list.
WAI! I saw Aya (New Sodmy's) Christmas card today! Kawaii! I am shamelessly a huge Aya fan...Not even when he was in Blue-B either, but just recently. I decided that I was going to give New Sodmy a try because Mayu and Kamijo (ex-Lareine) were in it, so Aya was just an added bonus! Aya is the piece of the band that I enjoy not just because of any musical talent he might have (Mayu, for example, who I admire because he a cool guitarist! Not that Aya isn't talented, but he gets extra points for being my favorite.) <<-- who would have known that I was so shallow sometimes? Well, maybe my friends... but I was in it for the music and Lareine guys first!

*happy dance*
Yay! Raphael stuff! Yay!
We finally got Miko's blog up and pretty! Go see Aiji! Visit her blog! GARDEN
AND I didn't sing today... but we got alot done at band practice and I have almost figured out the whole melody to that Mayu/piano thing (I don't know how to play the piano well!)! It's been a good day!

*_* I am such a bad person...(ishiko is not liking this, I can tell already...)
Well, I was checking my e-mail and someone was selling j-rock things and I pretty much melted into a puddle when I saw how good the prices were... then I e-mailed the person and inquired about a few items...^_^ Then I e-mailed Ishiko and Miko-chan to see what they thought ... I shouldn't feel so guilty, because after all the money IS left over spending money from my Mitsuwa I'm-going-to-spend-lots-of-money savings. And the only other thing that I would have used it on is train fare and Pocky... Eeeeeeeeeeeee. I hope that this person still has these wonderful things! (I can never have enough Raphael and Dir en Grey things...) So much for cutting corners in the j-rock area of my spending (which I said I was going to do just YESTERDAY. ._.).
I think that I need all my money to automatically be drained into my gas tank and my bank account from now on. (to prevent further incidents, which is why I NEVER keep more than $5 on me. see what happens? I have $25 and I try to spend it!)

I am supposed to sing at band practice tomorrow...
You'd think that this would be something natural, since I am the vocalist, but never before in my life have I had to sing alone. And I don't like my voice. This is going to sound stupid, but I really am scared to do it. Or I'm really scared that I won't be able to do it because I'll get so nervous (and I will get nervous) and then that will be really bad. I'm really making this sound like it's the end of the world, ne? It's not, but I am nervous. After I get over this initial hurdle, things will come easier for me, because that's how it always works. I get nervous about something, then I do it, and then I realize that it wasn't so bad and I could do that something all the time in front of anyone. Not that Mikoto and Ishiko are the best support group for my nervousness (hey, you aren't, just being honest). "You have to. You're the vocalist." Yeah, I do have to and I am, but it's not that easy! I can't wait to get tomorrow over with so my confidence can hop back up to where it belongs (typically I am quite confident, and this is the last bit of my stage-fright that I need to drown. I used to be really shy, but now I don't even mind getting up and talking in front of people...it's only this singing thing that seems to still give me trouble!!!!)! !!!
Damn. Gotta cook.

I have a headache...
Well, it's going to be Christmas in a few weeks, which for some odd reason means that it's time for another peppy Spirit Week at school. Why two? Why even have homecoming? I fail to see the point. But anyway, Spirit Week always has designated days where students are supposed to dress up, such as Holiday Day (wear red and green, ne). Or if you're my friends and I, it means a week of j-rock cosplay (because we like it and we're obsessive!). Not well-thought-out-we-spent-alot-of-time-and-money cosplay, but a knowing fan could prolly pick us out of a crowd or dorks in red and green. Last Spirit Week there were only four days in the week and that meant only four days to tackle (the ever famous Malice Mizer Monday, followed by a "hey, we're wearing pants and sneakers, we're Gackt" Tuesday, then Dir en Grey for Wednesday and finally Lareine). But this time there are 5, and with the loss of Gackt Tuesday (whose idea was that?! I refuse to be Masa again! Not that there's anything wrong with him.) we need two more bands. We have two weeks to whip something else, not to mention Ishiko working on her Shinya (are you?), me completely revamping my Tochi and Miko-chan fixing up her Emiru. We've pretty much cut Kagrra out, even though they are awesome, because it's just too much and we've only got one kimono (damn me for not already making my Isshi outfit!). And most of the other bands we listen are all vinyl-y or boring. Hmm... what to do? As the joke goes: "we can always be Glay." Um. No.
Has anyone else noticed how rediculous visual bands are getting to look these days? There are the few that are decent, and though the looks have nothing to do with the music (in most cases), for the most part it's all just bad. The problem with me is that sometimes I do pick bands based on how they look because it's easier for me to spot them in a j-rock magazine than to find an Mp3 to sample (and sample only!), and for some reason I trust people more if I think they look decent (not even attractive, just decent!). Recently, I decided that I need to expand a little, so even if I don't think anyone in Mucc is good looking and I hate the name, I might listen to them just to see how they are. Of course, finding an Mp3 of an obscure indies band (any obscure indies band) is tough! And my finanicial situation does not lend itself to just running out and buying things. I will go insane with my spending when I get to Japan, but until then, I have to cut some corners and unfortunately the j-rock corner is expensive and has to be cut (nooooooo)! I need gas for my car (the only thing I spend money on) more than I need j-rock. Or hair dye. *sob* I really wanna dye my hair, but then I will have to pay to re-dye it all the time, because my hair grows so quickly!! Slow down hair!

Damn Yahoo/Geocities! How many IDs do I have to come up with before one works? You won't believe some of the stuff that I've tried so far...I give up for the moment. I have scanning to do...
I'm so tired this weekend! I feel like collapsing into sleep for a long time. Ishiko says that I sleep too much! I'm just a really sleepy person. I worked all day yesterday, which I wouldn't have minded much if it hadn't been so warm out! It was 70 degrees! And there I was, inside while the sun was finally shining and warm in December! I'm going to have such a hard time being a grownup someday...But I do need the money, so I can go to Japan and buy all the Dir en Grey cds that I can get my hands on. Yes, I am waiting until I go to Japan...how cruel of myself.
Yay! At least if I didn't go to the live in Ishiko's dream, I was with Kirito! No onions and no sauce, ne, Ishiko-chan. That's cute. And you're right, strangely patriotic colors. I wouldn't have even noticed if you didn't say anything. I miss you being on the internet all the time! I can't e-mail you anymore! It's very sad. Did you hear that Kamijo cut his hair again? Supposed to look really nice, but I wish that he would grow it out. I can't wait for your Jealousy to come in, maybe you will get the Kamijo card! I hope so or at least Mayu...or Aya (@_@ Daiiisssuukkkiii)...not that You would be bad! (name does start with "y")
Miko-chan, what's going on with your blog?

I'm testing my new layout. There's a bug in one of the tables (I use LOTS of them) and I gotta figure out where it is by writing a long entry. Luckily, I am in a rather sad mood right now (the type where the slightest thing could set me crying), so I have to talk about something...
Well, yes, I want to cry. I'm not sure which of the many reasons that I've come up with over the course of the evening is the correct one or if it's a combination of several, but I care not to share these reasons at this time. I tend to be melodramatic, so I have to let things sit and see how I feel. And I don't think it's just because I'm having a mood swing (I don't get angry or mean, I get weepy), none is my reasons say "hey, you're just having a chemical imbalance." I have that "someone hurt my feelings" feeling, but I don't know if anyone did or who it was in that case...Hopefully by the morning I will be my usual self, which may or may not make me happier, depending of the course of some other unsaid events. Wah. I'm not making much sense...
In other news, the text in this blog likes to appear far down the page sometimes. Right now to me, it seems to be place properly though, by some strange bit of fate... Hopefully it stays good and nice, but if not...I'll figure something out.

New layout. Needs a little work, but I'm on it!
2.sad.sexually is almost ready to go up! I just need to add some touches and make sure everything is all right, then find the time to upload and re-check everything. Ah, such a busy life.
Parents are home. Time to eat. J'ai faim!
