ハップイイ フライデイ です!  たのしい 金曜日 です!

    Oh man, it's the first Happy Friday of this school year. A momentous event most surely. Today was a good day as well.
      
    I got driven early to school so I could sit at our table and wait for everyone else before school started. Katy was one of the first to show up, and happened to have a seriously adorable yaoi manga with her. She started talking about how great it was and I picked it out of her hands and flipped through. OH GOD IT IS SO ADORABLE. It's called "Lost Boys" and apparently is peter pan with all the characters being male. THE PIRATES ARE SO GODDAMN SEXY. Wendy / Mizuki and Peter / Air basically just do cute kisses and stuff. BUT OH MAN. THE PIRATES. In the last few pages of the manga one of them starts molesting the other and and and and, well, blowjob commences. Well, sort of. Nothing really shown so it doesn't get to be 18+ :) Anyway everyone else came then and we talked and then the bell rang. Classes </3

    Accounting we went to the computer lab and signed up for this college/career help website and took quizzes on it. BORING.

    Japanese was, as usual, completely psychotic.  We went over some kanji and did grammar review for "I want to/don't want to do ___"  and then we had to ask sensei questions like "do you want to drink tea?" etc.  so uh. katy started whispering to me and asked how to say "face" me: "...kao..."  her: "and what about 'eat'?"  me: "..tabemasu... wai.. Katy... >_> " of course she raised her hand and blurted out "KAMIMURA SENSEI WA KAO WO TABETAI DESU KA?" and I snorted and started laughing SO hard.  Sensei was like "wha? EAT FACE? WHAT? NOOO. IE IE!" we were all laughing by then.  We have a kanji review quiz next wednesday, thanks to Ash. (I won't even go into it..)
    Global was alright. We just shared our answers from the homework and then he lectured us on his ( really retardedly complicated) method of taking notes, which you will be graded once a unit for 100 points. +_+;;;

 NO HOMEWORK WOOT.

    and then we went to lunch and socialized and ran outside and hung out there and dylan stepped on bees and picked up sara and nick played DS and all was well. I missed everyone so much over the summer. I hope we can do something this weekend.


I really want a new livejournal. =_= what is with me and switching names. oh well, not as bad as Zach is.


in other news I have so much access stuff coming in the mail for me soon ^_^;; I already had the crossbridge pamphlet at Kelynn's house, which she sent out yesterday I think.  Then I bought the Crossbridge dvd on amazon.co.jp.  And 2 nights ago I kind of gave in and looked at yahoo japan auctions again ;__; first time in like 2 months. I swear. Anyway I ended up buying some gorgeous access clippings and also and access doujinshi that looks promising (meaning porn hopefully!).

     Okay, so, it seems I won't be using windows at all anymore! Dad came home with a cd of Kubuntu 6.06 a few days ago.  I'm awaiting it to be installed. It's prettier than Ubuntu, and as you might have guessed, is KDE instead of gnome. He also printed out some pages explaining a program for linux called "Wine" which runs basically ANY windows program (games, graphics programs, word, itunes.. ANYTHING) on Linux! Now, Before I saw this, I had only thought about fully switching to linux, seeing as I couldn't use my tablet or have photoshop or RO on it.  But this changes everything.  I checked out the site for Wine (winehq.org) and looked at the list of apps it supported:  ZING.  Everything I need. Photoshop 7, CS, CS 2, Elements 2.0 and 4.0, and some older versions of photoshop.  Ragnarok Online.  itunes. Trillian. Real Player, FFXI, ZSNES, Wacom Tablet support.  All fully functional.  T_T It was beautiful. So beautiful.  I'm feeling very confident now about the whole switching OS thing. Now all I need to find out is how / if I can import things such as brushes, fonts, patterns, gradients for photoshop into linux, and use a private server on RO.  If so, I'm a very, very, very happy person. ^_^ *crosses fingers* I can't wait to get Kubuntu installed now~ ><

oh man. Perfect timing. Yesterday my computer broke. How? Well, my C drive started making odd (UPS like) click noises, and the light on the drive would light up as the sound happened... it started lagging, and then it totally froze.  I had to force shutdown it ;_; So basically my C drive is ded.  It'll take a week or two to get everything, including windows, installed again.  Pray I haven't lost any fonts, brushes, or anything else important. I'm pretty sure I'm alright. Most of that stuff is on the D drive, which had better not fail on me anytime soon, seeing as it is a brand new 128 gig drive! ;_; But anyway, how am I typing this, you ask? :D Through a miracle of technology called KNOPPIX. (shameless plug.) It's a brilliant Linux OS that boots from a single cd or dvd.  It runs entirely on ram, and does amazingly well considering.  It's fast, full featured, and did I mention it's beautiful? (screenshot here) I love this thing so much.  I've decided that when I get this computer in my room, I'll have both Knoppix (on my HD) and Windows XP Pro. Sadly, Linux doesn't support photoshop, so Any graphics/drawing I might have to do is put on hold for the moment.  Although I can do just about everything else. (GAIM for chat, JuK or XMMS for music, Xchat for irc, firefox or konquerer for internet, etc etc.) So you'll still be able to talk to me on aim and msn. ^_^ And I have all my files on my D drive available and usable (photos images music etc)!  So, I'll see you around.  Hope I get everything back to normal soon.

oh. but something is messed up with my sound card not working with Knoppix so I don't have sound or music... I'll use my ipod instead.

    Hay guyz. Like my new icon? :] I was watching yesterday's episode of The Colbert Report tonight (at 8:30 or.. wait 9? I forget.) and saw this segment when Jon stopped by to apologize to geraldo (ew). This shot was too adorable and candid, so I HAD to make an icon. thank god youtube had this episode just a day after it first aired! Like magic, that site is. D:

   Anyway. I've been so stressed out lately, cause I feel like I have so much to do.  I have to dig up photos of myself and my dogs to send to Lala for the DA birthday thing, finish the drawing for the same reason, and do avatars and sigs for 2 people.  I must get stressed really easily. mainly cause I'm realllllly slow on things, especially drawing, and I procrastinate instinctually. So.. I'm scared I'll let stuff go. xD;

I do kind of want to make up an lj layout but I'm too lazy and as I said above, have lots of other things to do.

    My dad just bought a new videocard tonight for my computer, although it's nothing TOO great, cause our motherboard won't even support the very good ones, but its better than what we have now.  We're getting a new computer (well my dad will make it as with this one) sometime in the not so distant future, aka when Flight Simulator X comes out for my dad to obsess over and need a better computer to run.  It's gonna be snazzy.  Although it'll be down here in the living room, but I'll get this current computer in my room (with a new monitor as this 19" CRT is beyond hueg.), so that'll be nice! I'll have to play games like oblivion down on the new pc though (I do plan on buying it once I have a computer that can actually run it!) I can't wait. 8D Maybe we'll have Vista on the new pc too.

Anyway.. just an update. <3

PS- DA FAMILY PEOPLE:  POST MOAR FANFICS ON THE FORUM! SHYNESS IS NOT AN ISSUE. This is one of your admins speaking. I want porn.

but honestly I'm not nearly as insistant as that. ^_^ I'm nice! really! <3

eghhhh I've been feeling mentally crappy over the last few days really, but today I woke up with my stomach killing me.  It hurts like hell ;__; Most likely cause I'm about to get my period but whatever, I usually don't feel this sick. UGH IT HURTS DX

So I've downed some rolaids and imodium and been sleeping most of the time..

bleh.

on a slightly happier note I have been working on that DA Birthday drawing ( because I know It's going to take me forever and a half) and I've been painting in Annie last night. I saved a preview if you care:


note to self: golden retriever fur is significantly more tedius to paint than wolf fur.

had to put the meme on geocities cause it screwed up my lj layout x0x


EDIT: I screwed up on a few and marked or not marked them. pay attention to the (  ) comments and thats the right answer xD

EDIT 2: I have removed all lj communities from my friendslist, so that it doesn't get clogged and I don't miss actual people's entries (CAUSE I HAVE GOTTEN TAGGED LIKE 20 TIMES AND NOT NOTICED ;;o;; ) besides, I don't use most of them anymore.

heyo  
So I just no realized that Kelynn tagged me. NOT cause I'm slow. oh no. I just don't use lj as much lately 9_9;

here we go.


Once you are tagged you MUST write an entry about 6 weird habits/things you do/odd information, as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next six people to be tagged and list their names.

1. When I im people I stack the trillian windows so that I can only see the bar where it says if they're typing. I do that until I hear a reply and then I look. Somehow it became a habit.

2. uhm lets see.  I am allergic to phones and hardly ever call anyone unless absolutely neccessary. Over time I can get comfortable with calling certain people, but it takes a while. I'd much rather use AIM/MSN. D: I guess cause I'm shy.

3. I hate my handwriting. Sometimes I'll labor over it when taking notes at school, just to make it look nice. Usually this takes so long that I end up being way behind in note taking. It's a problem. x_x

4. My nickname has become Em over the past few years, although I'm very picky about whether people can call me that or not. Usually only really good friends. :D

5. I love food. no, really. I enjoy eating to the point where I am surprised I'm so thin (wtf I only weigh 107?) still.  yay for metabolism! (Also I am a sucker for dessert. Especially ice cream.)

6. when I sleep I've made a habit out of pulling out my quilt/covers  (when they're usually tucked in) and folding them under my feet. like a sleeping bag kinda. My mom gets pissed off cause it makes it hard to make the bed xD;;;

7. (what, I felt like doing extras!) I didn't learn how to ride a bike til I was 10. I was too scared to try. x_x Also I refuse to go on rollercoasters (although it's probably a good idea to do so, considering my medicines) Although I will go on carnival rides.

8. I'm pretty self concious. usually I get worried that I look ugly or something.  Or feel fat. (although I discovered yesterday that I look really nice in a bikini.) Usually it's just me though. ^^;


okay uh, who to tag. [info]silvrystar, [info]patipati, [info]senjochan, [info]_senko_, [info]able, and [info]ivorytusks.

HOP TO IT BITCHES. just kidding <3

Hi guys. (What, I'm assuming people read this?! GASP.)  So this is my last entry for about 10 days or so, someone special is visiting so I won't be online much and I can't gaurantee I'll update until about 11 days from now. I'm drawing though and trying to get through my artist's block. It is severe.



In other news I SERIOUSLY am in need of access porn. *whines*

so I guess I'm trying to prepare to draw my own if I can't get my hands on any doujinshi anytime soon. :O Hey, better than nothing. Besides I need practice drawing yaoi I guess. >.<;


Seeya  <3

OH! I also made a Hiro colorbar, I'll jump on tomorrow morning and post it on DA_Family, so stay tuned. ^_^

        so I went to Michelle and Sandy's today. They got their ps2 so I brought some games, neglecting to think they only had one controller. whoops. so we played a bit of kingdom hearts but I was very bored with it.. drew a bit. And played Mystic Heroes for gcn. Then Shelly drove us to gamestop and we bought a multitap, controller, and Guilty Gear Isuka :D then I went home. It was fun I suppose.. we didn't get to do that much really.. and I .. (honestly) felt a bit uncomfortable going there knowing Shelly had told me a bit bluntly to shut up already about DA Family stuff :X I was a bit surprised at how put off by it she seemed.. *sigh*

1. Open a music player.
2. Go to 'all music'/'library'.
3. Hit shuffle/repeat/randomise.
4. Find photos of the first 15 artists/bands that come up (no repeats and no cheating).
5. Have people guess who the artists/bands are.
6. Paste this in your journal and do it too, so I can have fun guessing as well.

okay people come on, do it, it's fun, I swear D:

Since no one will ever get the rest of them I shall fill them in for you.

NOTE: this is unfinished because I am a lazy ass. :D

Hay guyz. XD Guess who is back from JAPAN? I wanted to type this up the day I came back but I needed alot of sleep, I'm still jetlagged. It wasn't bad on the way over, worse coming back. anyway, I'll try to remember what I can of funny details and things that happened. :D

Okay lets see. day 1, friday, April 14th. We went over to school to meet everyone for going to the airport. Not much went on there.. Kelly was late. At the airport we stop at a Panini Express near our gate for some food before we leave. I get lemon gelato.. it was more sherbert than gelato though. :| Our plane is a nice big 747, (JAL) although the pokemon plane would have been cooler. We're in line to board shortly after and I see Kelly asking Narima to sit next to her. So I'm like "Oh hey Kelly can I sit next to you? :D" Uh. this really hurt. she was like "Oh.... I don't know.. uh. I don't really care. I asked her a few more times and she was just as rude about it. :| That pissed me off. I had bad memories of elementary and middle school and the whole "I'm only HER best friend!" bullshit. I was like ready to cry.

Anyway we get on the plane, my seat isn't next to anyone I know.. Nick's mother suggests I sit next to them though, which was nice, so the man next to them kindly moves. ^^ Sitting next to Nick for 14 hours was, as you can imagine if you know him, hilarious. I had a great time. XD JAL has such great footroom and amenities. We even got the crappy in flight games like what you'd usually only get in business class. Nick and I spend most of our time playing those and making fun of them. :B There was one called "Memophant's Memory Game" with a creepy cartoon elephant mascot. We play that a bit, and I figure out how to make it have bugs too. xD Memophant becomes our new version of "winker". Uh. It's kind of hard to explain, basically he becomes an inside joke. The other game we play most is Reversi (also called othello). We played for a while and kept getting creamed by the computer, so we make it our mission to beat it sometime. ...Shortly after that I beat it. x3

The stewardess passes out some funky waterbottles called "Naya". We're easily entertained by Nick turning on the little spot light and saying "HOLY NAYA". (you get it right? D: ) Uhm lets see. I try to sleep but I just can't get comfy. Food comes around, they had 2 choices, some weird beef or strange curry shrimp. I decide I want the beef please. Sadly, by the time the food reaches us they only have the shrimp left. I poke at the rice.. somehow they even managed to make plain white rice taste gross. I had NO idea this was even possible. I turn to my last hope. Chocolate pudding. Oh man. I was seriously dissapointed, it tasted gross as well. Nick and I run out of things to make fun of so we watch a movie. We both watch the polar bear documentary (in japanese only sadly)about 4 times, then (reluctantly on my part) begin to watch Memoirs of a Geisha. If you remember when this movie first came out I was boycotting it. I decided to watch it though. It was pretty crappy. On the rest of the flight we amuse ourselves with the interesting camera they seem to have put on the bottom of the plane. We watch that channel and comment as we go over the Hudson Bay and northern Canada. Nick points out a few ravines and says: "Memophant lives there." I don't know why it was so amusing but it was. Come on, we were BORED. Eventually we get more gross food. I don't eat it. Not much more to talk about on the ride.

We get to Narita and literally fly through customs and immigration, we hardly had t owait at all. By the time we get to the baggage, our suitcases had beaten us there. :D That was really awesome. Sensei groups us and gives us 30 minutes to buy stuff. I get a .. what is it called? Jumbo cone? Giant cone? whatever, it's basically Japan's answer to the "King Cone" icecream we have. (Although, the king cone is better.) Oh joy, we get to go on an hour bus ride to the hotel now. More boredom. I listen to my ipod.

Our hotel (Radisson Miyako Tokyo), is not as large as the prince (thank god), but is right down the road from it in Shinagawa. The lobby smells vaguely of cigarettes. We basically get our room keys, drop our suitcases, set our clocks, and try to sleep. I room with Narima and Kelly, we decide to go down to see if they have any liquid soap at the stores in the hotel. (we only got bars, which I hate)There uh.. isn't much at the shop. They do, however, have icecream. (my favorite junkfood ever.) So I get a Hagen Daas "Dulche de Leche". back up to the room I keep asking myself just exactly what the hell "Dulche de Leche" is. I have a shower and open it up and find out it's caramel. :D Good choice. Although it sort of turned to soup by the time I finished in the bathroom. It was still delicious though.

Man the first day was exhausting. I won't go into that much detail for the rest of the days since I don't want this to be a novel, nor do I remember everthing (YEAH I HAVE A BAD MEMORY.)

Anyway I think on the second day.. hm. It was Saturday? We take a bus "tour" around tokyo with Sensei as the commentator. We visit the Imperial Palace (as close as you can go at least) in a bit of rain. Where did we go next? man I have no idea.. oh wait. was it sunday? Anyway I'll skip to the next thing I remember.

We pile into a bus to go to Harajuku, and we walk to Takeshita Street. Let me say one thing. This is the BEST street in the entire world. Oh god it was awesome. I walk down almost the whole street and find this one stair case with Miyavi posters on the wall.. I walk up (they were pretty grungy stairs..)and enter the best shop I have ever been to. :DD they have posters and keychains of lots of my favorite jrock bands~ I get 2 Miyavi photos, and an AnCafe poster (wagamama Koushinkyoku outfits). The guy there was really nice, we communicated through a series of gestures and nods. :D I kind of didn't know how to order posters at first so I tried to take them off to show him (yes I am a dumbass, alright? D:) and he comes over shaking his hand to tell me to stop. Apparently they have little numbers on them which you write down on paper and give them. Oh. Okay. I see now. :x I apologized alot. He was nice though. ^^;; I go back to see what other stores I can find but there aren't many. I do stop at the book off right next to Takeshita street and browse their cd collection. I find Hide Best Collection. :DD I, of course, buy it. They wrap it so nicely, it takes the cashier a few minutes to finish it ^^;; Anyway I run into Sonikuu on the way back up Takeshita and ask him if he'd like to come with me to the shop I found (Apparently I learned later that its name is Closet Child.) So we go back up and there are some girls in there, including some other Gaijin, whom I was too shy to talk to. Sonikuu finds some awesome gloomy bear trading keychains and buys 1. I explore the shop a bit more closely and stumble upon a wall of Hide merchandise. Oh man. I grab the 5 inch plush I wanted to get on ebay (30 bucks at ebay) for 10 bucks. Oh hell yes :D I can't remember what else I snagged here, if anything..


Oh man this is gonna take a while. I'll edit this up when I get more unlazy and add the rest of the week and some photos for reference. ^^
