560. Hot
2005-08-21 09:37:28
It's kinda hot here. Parents and I are packing to head back home after a long week of nice vacation. Nothing monumental, just thought I'd give an update. Yeesh...
Got my cousin interested in FMA, which is nice. We watched almost a fourth of the story in one day (up to ep 12)! Now when I come back, I have a list of things to bring:
Love Actually (live-action, but she really wants to see it)
Akira
Fruits Basket
more FMA
and maybe O My Goddess and some manga.
I love it!!!!
My stomach kinda hurts right now. And it's hot. I wanna know why it's hot in this house that was like a glacier last week! O well. My parents are waiting on me, so I better pack. Later, all! -
555 hits. The journal is curs-ed
2005-08-18 22:41:07
See, whenever I'm not posting in my journal, I'm thinking of things that I need to talk about in my journal. Half of which, I forget by the time I get to my journal. It's very annoying. So I try to make lists. Let's see how this works:
Copy of current list:
1-this is why I don't like being rushed
2-because I always forget stuff I wanna say
3-the new banner dedicated to Greed vs Envy
4-in the story, I think I like Greed better. He was a nice guy. Envy may have been cooler, but Envy's a fucking psycho.
5-I'm typing by lying on my bed reaching out to the floor. It really hurts right now.
6-and journal hits shouldn't be important, but I'm gonna keep pointing them I think. Posting I mean.
7-headphones completely trashed.
8-hungry
9-Vermont land
10-haripo
11-chekc out Scrapped Princess. Seiyuu seem very familiar
12-hitting bn
that is honestly how I wrote the list. Very sad. But now that everything's there, I shall go into details.
1+2. Well, I kinda explained that already. When I finally get on my journal, I blank out and forget half the things I wanted to say. Sad, yet true.
3. I just wanna say kudos, shiraijunichi-san. Very cute. And one of the few banners actually dedicated to a specific vid. A little slow, but cute.
4-just what I said. ^_^ Greed was a nice guy in the manga (kinda :P)
5-I wrote that after the entry before last. Lying on the edge of the bed, one leg off and angled toward the ground, arms stretched out toward the floor in order to hit one key at a time on my laptop. It really did hurt.
6-Yeah. I finally got 555. That's pretty cool. I'm over halfway to 1000. Don't know if this means much, but it's interesting. And it'll help me keep track.
7-they are. I've had them for about two years. Bought them alone because their predecesors which had come with that CD player were also trashed. Since then that CD player has died and these headphones joined with a new player, but now something's wrong with the speaker part. Unfortunately, I have no decent headphones to replace them. Sigh.
8-I was when I typed it. Now I'm not. Very filling dinner.
9-My parents own land in Vermont, and we went out to visit it today. It's beautiful. Wilderness within wilderness. And the lot next to ours was being developed for something. If a house was built there, it would have a fantastic view! So my parents are looking in to buying a house up there. That would be cool; being cut off from civilization has pros and cons. Pros: I don't like people but like distancing myself from them. Plus, the outdoors environment would be good for me. Cons: I like easy access to stores and do not relish the thought of a daily mile-long hike up a road inaccessible by cars. But as I said, it would be good for me. This is also why I should become more familiar with bn.com.
12-speaking of Barnes and Noble, I've come to the conclusion that I really can't go to book stores so often without feeling really disappointed. New books only come out once a month, so there's nothing left if you go back a week later. I should just hit them once every four weekends and be done with it. If I want hard-core anime shopping, I should live in an area with something like Tokyo Kid, or do online shopping. Yet, there's something missing when I can't feel and see the thing in my hands as I contemplate taking it to the counter. Mais c'est la vie. Get used to it.
back to 10. According to an anime magazine (don't remember which), this is the fan name for Harry Potter. I'm reading the 6th with my parents and enjoying it immensely. Just FYI.
11. When I was browsing Tokyo Kid, I could swear I heard the cast of FMA talking behind me, but I didn't recognize the series. Apparently it was Scrapped Princess, so I'm going to try looking up the cast for that series, just to see where else I've heard those voices.
And that's my list. Now I'm going to hit a few more sites and go to bed, 'cause we're exploring St. Johnsbury, Vermont tomorrow. I think I'm gonna like this town. I love the hotel. Internet comes with the room! YAHA!
I'm wondering about things back home now. Have the last few eps of FullMoon come, or did the downloader crash. And has my order come from amazon.com yet? Mysteries mysteries. Why do I give a shit now as I'm on vacation? Because that's the way I am. And now my neck is kinda sore, so I'm gonna say goodnight. Oyasumi nasai, minna-san. May your dreams be sweet and unplagued.

551 hits. Back from Boston.
2005-08-18 18:50:46
My god, 1500 banners. That's amazing. I like that first one by animegirlabc: a fatal error message saying "No space left/ Removing all AMVs" and the button options are "Cry" and "Kill Self". I think I would pick "Cry," but maybe that means I'm not a hardcore... o dear.
Speaking of HARD CORE, I just started reading the manga Genshiken. I have nothing on these people. Cosplay, doujinshi, video games, game-based porn, scale models, etc etc etc. Doujinshi is really big in the story. I think, after reading this, I've become inspired to be more involved in the anime community.
I'll do what I can. I think I should make more use of things like www.animecornerstore.com and www.bn.com. You can get anything online. Though I found some great stores in Boston. O yes. Boston is cool! Massachusettes is cool. This city in the middle of nowhere Vermont where I'm typing from in a hotel is cool.
Found this one store in Boston called the Tokyo Kid. It had models, shirts, bags, tankobon, anime DVDs, soundtracks, even CDs and DVDs of live performers. Ayumi Hamasaki, and I FOUND THE DVD OF THE HAGAREN FESTIVAL!!! IT IS SO COOL!! I also got the third soundtrack with Roy on the cover, the Gravitation soundtrack, and the first OST to Madlax. I love Kajiura Yuki's work! Thinking back after reading Genshiken, I think I should have gotten at least one little model. But maybe not, considering how nice my parents were to wait and pay for me... I'm selfish.
Well, in Boston we saw a couple colleges, Harvard and MIT. I'm impressed, but kinda... I dunno. In denial about whether I should be thinking about college yet. Sigh. Dad's an MIT grad, so we spent the most time there. The campus has changed over time, and I like what I see.
Some other things we did in Boston: the Science Museum (incredible!! we only saw half of it!), the New England Aquarium (sea turtles!!!! Sea Dragons!!! Seals! PENGUINS!!!!! That was so cool!!!) and a short cruise on a tall ship called the Liberty Clipper (we never left the harbor, but that was cool). In between, we hit a lot of stores for books and stuff. I got a little fluffy puppy stuffy (stuffed animal) that I like to call Morry. He's so cute! Don't know why I was so determined to get a stuffy, though.
Gotta go eat now. Mom and I are very hungry. I'll talk when we get back. Though we've been really busy, it's a relief to be back on the net. Tchao. -
Gee and I thought I was done today

I guess I shouldn't have read Sammy's journal. But it was right beneath mine. Sigh.
Anyway, I feel I should say that Hiro is not alone. There are other asses.
BTW, Jaddzax (I can't spell it! ;_;) is a girl...
Now I really gotta get dressed. Buh bye.

Hiro's an ass. Yes.
Leaving Granny's today. I should be getting dressed and packing. I'm bad. I'm hungry too. Now it's ending Jeepers Creepers with Hana-chan. That's so perfect.
AAAAUUUGHHHHH FAN GIRLS!!!!!
Reminded of fullmetal-alchemist.com, which, for the last 3 weeks, I have not been able to access. Why, I'm not sure. But I finally managed when we came to Granny's! YAY. Now I'm worried that I won't be able to access it when we leave... ;_; I love that site.
Vid has ended now. It makes me laugh so much. But I better get going. Jaa mata ne, minna-san!
