I feel like I should mark this rare occasion! Now watch, there'll be twenty there as soon as I finish this entry.
Okay day today. Tsubasa 5 is coming along and I need to finish about 14 chapters of Great Expectations before thrusday. Fun! Not to mention my poetry test tomorrow. I never thought I'd say this, but English will be the death of me...
My friend's over with her little siblings. The *smart* little brother just got in trouble again Sigh. And little sister is hovering, waiting for *my* computer.
Life is hard,
Life is rough,
Life is cruel!
Life is tough! Oh,
like a dog
stuck in a tree
I've been abandoned by psychiatry...

Yay! It was a good celebration. Right now we're listening to the Bette Midler CD I got for Mom. I also bought Fried Green Tomatos as a DVD, Estee Lauder Beautiful perfume, and a new Xanth novel. I hope it was... Can't find the right word. I really agonized over what to give her. She's seemed depressed lately. I've been worried.
We both love the CD.
With money leftover, I got Once by Nightwish, Tsubasa 5 (yay! so good) and Kare Kano 15 (YAY), and some FMA trading cards (not a waste, really ^_^). And did I mention I did most of the shopping with my friend's little brother? He's a great kid, and likes FMA and anime about as much as me. In the playstation store, we met this really nice guy with a skateboard. He and Axe had a fair amount in common, and he told me about taking Tai Chi. I don't think he was interested in me, though. I give sucky body-language. I can't look people in the eye for long, I can't focus. And I get the impression that I somehow insulted him. I'm a failure. I wish him a very nice life, because he was very cool.
I think I'll look into Tai Chi centers around here.
Some day, I will learn. And I will grow up. And I think I'm already on my way. A little, at least. ^^;
The Rose_
Some say love, it is a river, that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor, that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower, and you, its only seed.
It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken who cannot seem to give
and the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live.
When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long,
and you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snow,
Lies the seed that with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose... -

My friend gave me a link to a website with a Fruits Basket manga scanlation (and a couple spoilers before I could stop her). I was estatic. And I found the site, but they took down the Fruba section yesterday! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMN THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PUT IT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And now I'm really really sad, because I wanted to read that part that my friend spoiled for me. ,>_<, ;_;
But I found a scanlation of Full Moon wo Sagashite. It looks so good...
*watches Right Here by Inverse-sama* XD
I've just been binging on new series lately. Hellsing, Paranoia Agent, Tsubasa, and now Full Moon. There are just _so_many_ good ones out there! But I really shouldn't let myself get sidetracked.
I feel like I really need to say this: as of now, I have two series that I will undoubtedly love until the day I die. Fruits Basket is my favorite shoujo manga/anime, and FullMetal Alchemist is my favorite shounen anime/manga. Or to narrow it down again, the Fruba manga and the Hagaren anime, THEY RULE!!!!!!!
My friend was uber happy when I told her I had Tsubasa eps 1-4. I need to burn those onto CD, because I've no desire to feel the wrath of otaku. ^_^
Ja ne, minna-san! -
Wow. May 1st already

Somehow I'm reminded of an old journal assignment I had to do regarding Cinqo de Mayo. Is that spelled correctly? I don't know.
I'm still going through Paranoia Agent, watching each new ep as soon as it downloads. Finished ep 7. I'm really getting to like Detective Maniwa. And I'm still considering whether I should show this series to my friends or just burn the discs and hide them... heh.
FMA ep 24 just became available in english, for the parents. That was *not* one of the best episodes (plot- or dub-wise), and I'm really glad that Mom was willing to watch it with subtitles instead. Phew.
So, do new episodes appear every two weeks, or what? I do not know.
Just realized that Tsubasa Chronical was available online. YAY!! And it's really really fast! (I love my new cable speed!)
Working on a long assignment in English: analysis of poetry. T_T yippee. It was an in-class assignment, but needless to say, none of us actually finished (you should have heard my ranting over the meter section). So, I'm plodding through that.
I really need to start making banners. It'll be fun, and I need to do SOMETHING for this site! Really. 'Cause I have no idea when I'll have time to start the Winter project (I'm gonna call it that 'cause it's mysterious and I don't wanna give details, or someone will take my idea!! I'm paranoid).
Ah, and I should list some of these amazing banner-ka! I really like their work!

Once again, a F-ing long time away from my journal. And I call myself a writer.
...
Despite that self-put-down, I'm in a relatively good mood (TGIF). I'm listening to "December Love" by Gackt for the first time and really liking it. All in english; kakue.
My friend let me borrow the first volume of the Hagaren manga. Whoot!! It's great! So much easier to read than the online version! But I didn't like how they translated some of the lines (ex: "Eat Godhammer!" was changed to *grabs book* "Feel the Iron Blow of God's Wrath!" ...?_?WTF?) But I still love the manga. I like the anime more, but they kinda toned Ed down there. He's a real bad-ass in the books. ...What does the term "Psych!" mean, again?
Oh, on another note, I got my two upper wisdom teeth pulled. My first experience with novocaine (cool stuff! my first words after he pulled one tooth was "This stuff WORKS!"). Unfortunately, I spent the rest of the day with imaginary chipmunk cheeks and a tongue completely numb on the left side. Strange feeling! As for my teeth, presumably he donated them to a medical school.
Now I'm on "Kimi no Tameni Dekiru Koto." ^_^
Now it's over. Yan.
Oh, I've got a new project in history/geography: an ABC book. I think I'm gonna focus on Japan for this: A is for anime, P is for politeness-levels, etc. Maybe.
Heh. Can't think of anything else to write. Quel chose bizarre. O yeah, took a french test on the different verb tenses today. Maybe my focus shouldn't be so shifted towards Japanese. Anyway, I'm glad to be home.
