I'm about to load a new layout on here, FINALLY. This has gotta be the longest running layout... almost half a year. Hopefully I'll have some really good things to write in my new layout. Jaa~ Obsession Depression!

Well, Dreamearth 7 is still here. Why? Because my life is not my own. I have no friking time to do anything. And if my life is not my own, I don't want it to be anybodys. Not this society's. And I thought this to myself when I cut my leg shaving a few minutes ago: I bleed and bleed and bleed, and it just goes down the drain. Just like my life, I try and try and live and live, and my life is worth precisely crap. End of story. I want to leave this life that can only be lived in this society. Either I go join the animals, or I go join the dead. Neither which I can do. This society forbids anyone to leave it. They give drugs to people who don't want to stay here so their brain is rewired to think like the next person. I hate this society for doing that. And I hate this society.

Vela realized she felt better at 11:29 p.m. while when have I last felt better???.

Halloween weekend! It was crazy ^_^ On Friday (the actual Halloween day) I went to OA as usual. There were a lot of people missing, but we still had fun. I played this video game I was really bad at, but we also showed my THE DOLLMAKER movies (part 1 and 2) I was so happy, everyone laughed pretty much and applauded at the end. We also made a OA dance groove movie, which showed me doing the sprinkler dance. It was pretty funny when it was finished too! We also watched Wolf's Rain, a pretty good anime about 4 guys who are actually wolves. I stayed up til about 4am watching that, then went home and packed for going to Madison until about 5am. We were gonna leave at 8 that morning! I got about 1 hour of sleep. Don picked me up (Don is the smart guy from my chemistry class) because he was also going to Madison to meet some friends, so he said I could ride along with him. We also picked up Becky, another Team 6er from the area, and we had a really nice ride down. Becky and Don were so talkative! We had a little trouble trying to find Alli's apartment when we got to Madison, but we eventually did of course! And it was so much fun! I got there and Sheena, Andy and Alli were there, along with Alli's brother Andrew (who was pretty cool I guess) Alli and Andrew have such an interesting sister/younger brother relationship. They might as well be going out. XD Haha.. it's not really like what you might be thinking at a statement like that... Soon after, Emily came, and we all had a jolly time. Then Andy and Sheena had to leave (Andy had only come out for the day, and Sheena had to go back home) But I was so happy to have seen them!! We also watched the Tokyo Team 6 DVD from Kandace. Along with Alli's roomate, her brother, and her brother's friends, we rented 2 movies and ordered out Chinese ^_^ The movies were "They" and "Thirteen Ghosts." "They" was SUch a dumb movie!!! Don't ever rent it! But orange chicken, rice, and egg rolls were good.
Then... Matt came!!!! Alli saw his coat, and knew at once it was him, and we four girls all ran out and glomped him. XD And he picked us all up! Then we gave him the choice of the leftover chinese, and he ate the rest of my orange chicken. We watched 13 Ghosts then, and it turned out to be a much better than "They." Oh, then the drinking games started... -_- Becky and I did it with Mountain Dew XD. ...Then we got in costume and went out into the madness of Mad-City. Alli was a cat, E-chan was Tigger, Matt was a Ukrainian military man (his normal garb really) and I was Alli's and Emily's cat lady XD. Becky stayed home. We went to 2 parties, where I still refused to drink, but no one really pressured me anyway. Most people there are too drunk to know that you're not drunk. Emily got all emotional when she met her best friend she hadn't seen in 3 months, and couldn't stop crying about how great it was to see her again for a straight 20 minutes! This one guy Chad we were next to decided he would be my long lost best friend for the time. o.o ah, crazy drunk people... That party cleared out pretty quick, I think it was 11 maybe, so we went to this other one that was even more crazy! At least they had better music at the next one than the last one, which was crappy rap. @.@ We called so many people (like the team 6ers from the west coast) from the bathroom there! (The only quiet place) After that we were gonna meet Emily and her friend Katie and go to see the live bands on State street (where most of the riots take place) But then it started POURING!! We just decided to go home. Becky had cleaned up the aparment! So nice!!! We sat around and talked I think, until about 6am. We also showed lots of pictures from Japan that we got devoloped. So many stories, it went by so fast. I eventually fell asleep on the couch Becky wasn't on, and later Emily came and curled up on the remaining space of Becky's couch. Then Matt came and slept on the cold floor, with only a small blanket, and no pillow. Crazy guy! XD We ate at Dennys in the morning, and got free orange juice! It was a good meal all together with Alli's friend Lacy and her brother and her cousin and her brother's friend. We came home with about an hour to spare before Don would come to pick me and Becky up, and it was sad to be going... When we left I forgot about my skirt! It was actually my cape for my Halloween costume. Wah! But now I get to stop by Alli's apartment sometime soon to pick it up. The ride home was just about as talkative as the way down, and I felt so tired I just couldn't talk much. Plus I think Don's just a little too chivalrous for his own good. If I don't want to complain about something I don't like, leave it to me and let me deal with it! He practically scolded me when I finally admitted that it was too hot in the car. I have a pretty high tolerance of uncomfortable situations, and it's not like my every whim needs to be doted on >.< I'm Independent!! Don't pay for my candybar when I already have the money out!!! He says anything he offers to do is like a present, like I have to accept it or else it will insult him. This is why I'm friends with Dreya, because she can insult me and somehow it makes me feel better. Like people aren't being fake to me. I feel no guilt for taking something that I don't think I deserve. Chivarly either makes one person feel guilty, or makes that person into someone who gets a big head from being treated so nicely, or if the person tries to return the favor to relieve the guilt, you get something like in the movies...
"after you,"
"Why no, after you."
"No, after you."
Then they BOTH feel insulted because they are BOTH refusing each others gifts of kindness. It's so dumb. There needs to be one person to lead, and one person to follow... of course its nice if they can switch roles sometimes, but they can't be fighting for the same one!! This is true in all human relationships between 2 people. That's why I like VK too. It can yell at you sometimes, but other times it's sweet and melodic. And I don't really agree with the philosophy to completely speak your mind 100% of the time. I get along with most every type of person, because I stay neutral on arguments and accept everything as it is. I rarely just hate someone. I rarely just love someone. But, even though doing this is really comfortable for me, then I can never get very close to any people, which is a downfall of not being 100% honest all the time. Plus, after living my life according to whatever group I'm with at the time for so long, I have little clue what the real me would do if I was all alone. Maybe I make up for this general indecisivness by being stubborn with certain moral ethics I have. Like not drinking. I just have to keep searching for the group of people that's most like my real self to act myself. If I'm by myself I don't really do much of anything to my own accord aside from eating, sleeping, and keeping warm, so that's no way of telling who I really am (My real self just CAN'T be that apathetic, can it?) After taking the longest shower in existance. and thinking to myself that my online friends are probably the people I'm most myself with, that I could tell them anything, I decided to go tell them my story of the parties on the chat. But they didn't seem interested... -_- at all. because too crazy I guess... maybe because the party was so far off what I'd normally do, it didn't work as a fun conversation to share on the chat.

I made a list of what I believe defines my real personality:

I like food.
I like sleeping, and dreaming.
I like to stay warm.
I like design.

That's all I can think of right now which are interests I share with no one else or no group of people in particular. That way, they can't be biased. There's plenty more I love, but I enjoy it with other people of because of other people, so I'm not counting it. Without those groups to share those interests with, I'm sure they'd eventually fade away. The interests on the list I doubt will ever change. If you notice, they're all completely basic things. That's who I am. Not very complicated at all. But life is complicated, we're meant to feel happy for being applauded for a crappy video we made in highschool. But at the same time, were supposed to feel guilt for reciving praise we might not completely deserve. Which is exactly what I felt when that did happen at OA on friday. Maybe that's why I can't agree with life. Always ups and downs for everything.

Wow, what a long post! But a good one for once. Maybe I can look back on this one and actually figure stuff out. Yep, this is probably the place where I'm most myself, in this blog. Even so, I don't include everything on my mind, usually the gloating about what I've seen in life. If you search some of these messages, you can find hidden sentences of even more what I'm thinking about, but don't want to write out in the open. Go search for them if you want, but I really doubt anyone has read this far to know this, and if you did (yes, you) you already know enough about me to know what I really think anyway. I'm getting more bold with what I write on this thing because I think less and less people come to it. I know Chui reads it sometimes, cause she leaves a message on the SSGB for me to read now and then, and I know Dreya used to read it but probably not anymore, and I know some people think they read it but get hung up on the text that makes up the picture up there. Those are googlisms, people! They are not my words or thoughts. Not that it matters, I wouldn't mind if no one read this, especially cause it has such personal stuff on it nowadays. But writing this out in a paper diary couldn't work because then it has NO possiblity of being read by a kindred spirit, which is the whole happiness of writing a weblog for me in the first place. Of course I like making pretty layouts too. ^_^ See, it's DESIGN. One of my pure interests. Well, I hope you enjoyed the pouring of my soul here. Speaking of pretty layouts-- I have new one I'm almost done with. This will probably be my last post on Obsession Depression. Goodnight! I have to go rest for the new week tomorrow morning. Oh yeah, that's what I could say: if I can't believe that anything is constant in life, I need to remind my self of time. The passing of time is constant, its always going, from before all life, to forever. I'm not talking about like 24 hours in a day, clocks, blah blah, those are just ways to measure time on earth. But there's still time going by everywhere on this universe, and it will always be going at the same speed. Ok, it's midnight now, I've been writing much too long and I need to go to sleep!! Oyasumi~~

Well, ya know that Chem test I thought I at least got a C on? Nope. Failed. I've never failed any tests until I got in that class. And it really is because it's hard material for me. I studied so damn hard, but no help. It frustrates me so much why I can't get it right. Looks like I need to add a few more entries to that abandoned chat room that I've turned into a rant/vent room. After I figured out my test score though, I went and juggled for an hour straight (at least trying over and over for a hour straight) and discovered some pretty hardcore Pokemon fans ::yeah!:: And then ate dinner with other people from the juggling club, so I was feeling much better. But then on the way back up the hill, they started stalking me. >.< That was fun for maybe 2 seconds. But I really got tired of them sneaking up behind me and hanging onto my backpack calling "mush!" And it got even worse when I tried getting rid of them and either my techniques didn't work, or they would be too violent to be accepted as something one does to friends. ><;; *sigh* Why does everyone pick on me??? I don't give any sort of reaction most of the time!! It's just because I'm the youngest, which is such a stupid reason to, for instance, steal my shoes, pet my head, or stalk me. >.< I should never smile again. Maybe that's considered my reaction... I laugh at the stupidest things and it makes me seem kiddish. I will only laugh for the people that really matter and never in big groups! That is my new decision. Although it goes exactly opposite of what I normally do, I have to try it to save my dignity. That's all I have to say, and I have to go write my paper now.

Vela realized she felt better at 07:45 p.m. while juggling and eating with friends... but not when they stalk me!.

SNOWING... SNOWING SNOWING!!! I just went to dinner, and it's snowing! It's more of a freezing rain, but snow's in there as well. Isn't it happy!!?? I love snow, but it's so darn cold out there! I need to get my winter coat operational. I wanted to get my cloak done before this winter, but I'm sure it won't get done soon -_- so I need to get my old winter coat and load it up with all my stuff (money, gloves, etc) so I can use it. I also like this Daylight Savings Time thing. It gets dark so much faster, and I do things so much more easily at night! I'm coming along with my paper pretty well I think. And I think I did ok on the Chem test ^_^ (not that that was during night.. but I thought I'd mention it.) At least I think I did as good a as a C. We'll have to "see" (see=C XD??) Whaha.. I made a pun.. thats one of the first this school year. I heard Adrian make a good one on Satuday: I better write it down so I don't forget: "I have a tension headache!! >_<x I must've been paying too much "attention"!" Hahaha... oh, I love corny puns.

Aside from doing my paper, I even wasted some time reading stuff from the updated Duel Jewel site. They have some new questions and answers on the profile page, including one that nifty translates as "On a lonely night, what band member would you pass the time with?" XD Hmmm I must be like Natsuki when it comes to that issue... um~! I mean, I never said that... ::yesh:: But it was so sad, when it comes to Val's answer, he says "alone is fine" ;_; he's so depressed-like... And for the question "What would you like to recieve as a gift from a fan?" (the others usually put cigarettes and sometimes... Gundam? (the anime? o.o)) Val answers "ˆ¤". Aww!! T_T Ž„‚½‚¿‚ª‚ ‚È‚½‚ðˆ¤‚·‚邱‚Æ‚ð’m‚Á‚Ä‚¢‚Ü‚·! So serious all the time, ne.... but not on the BBS? Oh well, I will never understand it all...

Another happy thing: My voice seems to be getting better. Maybe cause its so cold now, my allergies will go away, and then I'll have a clearer throat. So sing! I can sing along to my songs now...

Well, I better get back to my paper... its due Thursday, but its pretty important and I should have started it a long time ago ^^;; but its going WELL!! I say! Jaa ne...

>.< I'm still upset about Pitas losing about a month's worth of my entries. Stuff like this just wouldn't happen with say... Livejournal... But I still like Pitas, because its such a nifty little personally-run blog service. I just hope they're still in the process of retrieving stuff from the crashed drive. And it would be cool if a lot of other users stopped using pitas because of this, so it will be more stable in the future. But than again they could all be thinking like me. o.o

So, before I get into new stuff, lets recap again what happened in those episodes of lostness before I forget it all.

  • The weather got really warm, I ate blue moon icecream while sauntering down to lower campus, (you can't help sauntering on that big hill!! Otherwise you lose balance.) walking halfway out onto the bridge, and then going to the AAS meeting. I saw Ashtray there, and we convinced ::kukukikuku:: (this is his OA name, the sound a Transformer makes) to make us some popcorn. In his attempt to double the popcorn making process by using both microwaves on either end of the Davies Center, one started smoking and the alarms went off, we had to go outside, and the fire department had to come check out the situation. We hid the popcorn. XD At OA that week, I think I only stayed for a little bit. Well, of course I stayed till like 4 am, but still, thats early. I forgot what we were watching that night... Oh yeah! GTO. And earlier that night we watched Volcano High (A cool Korean movie)
  • Then the next night at OA, I stayed up all night from 4pm to 9am watching GunHed, then alternating episodes of Azumanga Daioh! (Super Genki-Kawaii) and She, the Ultimate Weapon (INFINITE SADNESS) Which, if either series had been watched in sequential order, would cause your brain to die. (either by sugar-candy-sweetness, or clinical-therapy-worthy depression) Of course I'm exaggerating here, but only a little ^.~. Oh yeah, and my shoes got stolen 2ice and I had to go find them, and after watching all that subbed anime for about 6 hours straight, I was thinking to myself in broken Japanese all through the mall (where I found and bought the manga version of Azumanga Daioh!)
  • And then the Happy Duel Jewel News: They are coming to ONICON 2004! And Their new single is out "Vermilion" which I preordered, and they have an album coming soon (I think) Yeah, there was also a lot of confusion on my part for that post... OH WAIT!! That entry is still on here.. back in September. Oh well. It's still on my mind. I also ordered the pin set, just for fun, because I almost did at Acen but didn't.
  • Well, thats all I can think of for now. I know I'm missing a bunch of fun stuff I wrote though. -_-

    SO, on to the new stuff!! I had a good Fall Break... if you can call it that... It's just one extra day onto a weekend!? But I did get to go home. I got to see my gerbies, my doggy, and my brother. They put new road signs up near my house!! Well, that's the first thing I noticed that was changed. My family's been helping to clean out Grandmas house now that she's not living there anymore, and so we have a ton of old stuff at our house. Most of it's junk, but a lot is really cool, like the letters in Norwiegian that my Great-great grandmother wrote to my Great grandmother, or the German clock watch/necklace that my dad gave my grandma when he was in the service. It's a wind up clock! I will treasure it. On Saturday night, I was VERY happy to see so many of my friends at... guess what: a Tintern Abbey practice!! Yep! I'm still their #1 fan, don worry. ^_^ And the coolest thing... they have a new singer... her name is Tomoko... she's an exchange student from Japan... been here a year... she has a cool accent, and a HAYATO-LIKE TREMOLO!! Sugoiiiiii!! I had a great time with everyone, I missed them so much *^_^* But... of course crazy things had to happen. Sio has a car and a lisence now, but already she's gotten stopped 3 times by cops. That night, as we were heading over to Culvers, she was going 81 in a 55 zone, and so guess what? -_-x Yep, $150 fine. And it was completely by accident too! She must have a lead foot as they say. I felt so bad for her too because she got stopped RIGHT next to her house. (she was going to stop there on the way to drop off her stuff) I was afraid her mom or dad would look out the window at the flashing lights or something, and see her car there.... That would be horrible ;_; I'm not sure if her parents will find out or not. Sio! Be more careful!!!! Also, the Cop asked for my name and Cortney's name, and so I hope we don't end up in the paper or something >_< And I gave my School ID so I better not see that listed next to my name if this ends up in the papers.. ah! Shame!! It wasn't my fault I know, but I could have said something... "Sio, you're over 80... slow down, ne?" But it was a wide road, and I knew we'd be stopping soon anyway... >.< Agg! Well, that was the only damper on the weekend. Sunday I exchanged my suitcase I got way back on my 17 birthday.. or was it 16th? because in Japan the handle broke, and I discovered it was because of bad maufacturing. I got the exact same model, and when I got home I moved everything I'd emptied out of the broken one right into the new one because I had nowhere to put it XD. I swear I'll unpack one of these days!! I got a ride back to college from the two neighbor girls who go to college a little farther from my college. That was quite convienient! I just hope I can get a ride from TJ for this upcoming Weekend so I can get to Mad City for Halloween!

    And my pins had come while I was gone! So I got a nice present in the mail from myself when I got back in my dorm.

    Now I just gotta worry about my big test tomorrow... and the paper due thursday... Wahhhh! But I'll get it done mom! Don't worry if you're reading this... (although I doubt you ever have, or even my dad I don't hink has ever seen this...) But, just in case. Man, this is tough. I wish I was better at Chemistry!

    Wahhh!!! The server severed and lost many of my entries!!! What about all the crazy weather changes we've had?? What about all the squirrels here? What about all the other anime I've watched! What about all the HAPPY DUEL JEWEL NEWS???? Has Pitas lost it all for good?? The person running dis ting said they sent in the drive to a backup recovery place, but that was a while ago ;_; have they recovered anything??? If not, this will just be a big lost space of my blog.. kanashii ne... I wish I could remember everything I said, but its all too much!! Whaaaaa!! This makes me angry and sad...

    HI! I'm back in my room finally since about 6:00pm last night. I ate at the cafe, and then went to the "super secret" Otaku Anonymous club meeting. They were playing Bubble Bobble when I walked in! Basically it's a group of people who share common interests in anime, video games, randomness, etc. ^_^ And freaking out the norms on water street on various occasions. There were a lot of people who came compared to normal I'm told, and everyone was great. We watched episodes of Doraemon (specifically the "LUCKY GUN" episode, where Doraemon pulls a shiny revolver from his 4th dimensional pocket, which comes with 3 red "good luck" bullets, and 1 black "bad luck" bullet. So, all you have to do to have a lucky day is load all bullets at once, then shoot yourself in the head and hope you get a red bullet. Yep, that's right, this episode shows images of young children (sometimes under supervision and encouragement of adults) Holding the gun to their head saying "I'm gonna do it!" While giving their best russian roulette faces. Moral of the story: If you're having a bad day, shoot yourself in the head XD;;;

    Plus, the episodes were very badly subtitled. Example of subtitles when one kid gets shot with the lucky red bullet: His father says: Come movie to see C177! (C177 is an example of what the characters names got changed into because they didn't have a kanji-supporting text) Kid: Dad! Rare to go see. *kid walks down the street and finds a coin on the ground* Ah! I found the circle!)

    Then we had a Juon-athon! We watched the first and second TV movie releases, then the Theatrical release (which I had seen in Japan on my trip actually). Ooh spooky ^_^ I liked the first TV movie the best. After more video games including Puzzle Fighter II, we watched Elf Princess Rane. If there was ever an anime that messes TOO much with language, it would be Elf Princess Rane. First of all, it's Japanese, subtitled into English. Then, the elves randomly switch over to their "elf-language" so no one knows quite whats going on. I remember one translated line Rane says sweetly, "Stinky fart in lonely room???"
    It has nothing to do with what it means in English.
    Then theres a guy with a big curl for hair, who speaks backwards Japanese. As in "Konnichiwa" would be "wachininko" (at least I think they would say it backwards that way...) Then, the subtitles for everything he says are written in ENGLISH backwards. hello = olleh It's quite confusing. PLUS (yes, there's more) the characters often all talk at the same time, so there's up to 3 conversations going on at the same time, and we get to decipher these through lines of subtitles sometimes taking up half the screen. XD It's hilarious! After the OA meeting apparently dispersed at around 4am, I went over to Chancellors dorms because I told Kevin I'd visit him while he worked the 3am to 9am front desk job. Why, you ask? Well, Kevin who is the president of OA, went on the Guy Healy USA Camp trip this summer as well as me! It's a small world ne... So he wanted to ask me about the Tokyo Team (he was on the Nagasaki Team) and it was a good conversation. Then, the other people there who usually help him stay up by playing FF8 and other such things, decided we should make a movie. A crazy cracked up movie! We decided to do a fan parody of Juon... joo0n (1337 speech) So, we had a guy with long spooky hair to play the dead wife, a guy whose face we colored purple to be the kid, and a bunch of people to die. XD I loved acting in this movie. I played 1 freaked out mother of the school girl who loses the jaw (most of the story line is based off the first TV movie), another freaked out school girl who gets chased into the CORNER OF DEATH(r) and the girl who gets visited by the two ghosts while sleeping in her bed, with the one girl (or in this case, guy) with long hair is staring at her from above her, and the girl with ESP who asks for distilled liquor to determine if the room was safe or not. (But in this version I'm a sooth-sayer type lady with a bedsheet on her head who asks for PEPSI from the front desk. (Pepsi being a known instrument for detecting evil for quite some time)) It was a lot of fun, there's some great shots (about 6 people were working on it?) and it all takes place in or near the front desk of Chancellors Hall. ^_^ We spent all night on it... I got about 15 minutes of solid sleep while we were waiting around for the front desk shift to end so we could go eat breakfast together. Cast Party!

    It snowed today. But the sky was completely clear. Before you ask "HOWWW?? What in the BLAZES? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!??" let me explain that it snowed LEAVES today. It got way below the freezing point last night, so I guess the trees decided it was time to lose all their leaves at once. Cars were buried in leaves, sidewalks were disguised, stairways were sloped off, etc. The strangest thing was that all the leaves are still green. We had crazy weather this year indeed... when I came here a month ago, it was blazing hot, and then it took a swift switch to winter. Now it's freezing, and the leaves didn't even have a chance to change color. Crazy Wisconsin weather... We totally skipped fall, and that's no fun -_-;; Maybe this year fall will come after winter. Ya know, just to mix things up.

    It's homecoming week here at UWEC... Theres tons of signs all along the paths and sidewalks advertising for Homecoming Kings and Queens. Some people take it really seriously, and they can be scary. o.o Here's my homecoming poster:

    Gackt knows what he's talking about...

    Just for fun! XD *ooh good song on* Speaking of songs and singing and stuff, I tried recording my "three voices" just a little while earlier. -_-; I couldn't find any one I liked... ick. My voice... I dun like it. And so I try singing a few songs instead, but those sound like crap too. I think I complained about my problems with this on an earlier blog entry.

    Today I had chiken teriyaki for dinner! The only thing was.. it didn't taste like any other chiken teriyaki I've had before. Too many onions. So now my mouth tastes pretty bad o.< Oh well... theres always the meal of tomorrow... or I could go get a snack at like 9 or something.
    I was happy about what I wore today though ^_^ I was looking on the h.NAOTO site yesterday, so I thought today I'd try wearing a belt as a necklace. I also wore a skirt over pants, and it was fun! Ahehe... Ok, so I'm pathetic. Yep, got that right. I need food in here!! I'm out of pretzels, granola bars, and friut cups! I need something I can just grab and eat! I'm too lazy to even make ramen, and I don't wanna eat oatmeal. And don't even get me started on making rice... o.o I can never get it right, and it will end up too dry, or way undercooked. Maybe I'll make some tea! Yep! I have green tea leaves, and I bought a tea ball a while ago. So I'll do that. *scampers off*

    Ok, so now the tea is almost done ^_^

    O.O the tea ball isn't doing a very good job... maybe I'll have to line it with a little cloth bag. Ooh, that would be so cute! *thinks: I like this song too: Medical Body by Janne Da Arc* You know what's a cute band? Antique Cafe! Aww! Just look at the bobby pins! I want some like that. I'll still look like a gargoyle, but I'll have cute hair pins! And Randle has a top hat. ^o^ So, I think I'm done adding new stuff here. Ja!

    Ok, I have a lot of confus-ed questions and stuffs that I can't figure out what to do with. Since I seem sorta off on the info, and a lot of BBS boards I'd like to post these questions on are down, I'll just express them here:

    Duel Jewel is coming back to the US? At Oni-con!!?? Why does the Oni-con website not work? If Duel Jewel is serious about doing more anime-con lives, would they like to come to NoBrandCon? I'm on the comittee!! I could getcha in! (The only thing is the con is so small... only like 500 people... But then fans of DJ from Canada and other northern states could come! Why does it always have to happen in Texas??)

    So DJ is releasing a maxi single at their one man live? ne? Are they still releasing a new album as well? Or did I get the maxi single mixed up with an album?

    HEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP??? <--big question here

    Where is Alli having a Halloween Party?? Are we supposed to dress up? What? What?

    Man, I feel sorry for whoever reads this. -_-

    Today was actually a good day. I woke up at around 8, and left early for classes so I could finish this lab I've been behind on. That worked out ok, went to Anthropology, ate lunch with people from that class (like we always do on Wednesday) and read my anthropology book until I had to go to Chemistry. I was sitting in the jazzman's cafe (with the coffee shop that I always buy chai tea from ^^) and who shows up? The DISTRACTION... mmm. yes (though I swear, he only has that one pair of pants... strange o.o) I was only a table over or so, and I could hear most of his conversation. Wahh! It made me miss Japan so much... I wish I could hear conversations like that all the time. I think he might be from Osaka (but I'm just guessing on the accent) After chemistry, I came back and he was just leaving with his friend, wearing a white visor skewed to the side... stylish?? o.O Anyway, thats about the end of that story. The rest of the day went well, I got questions answered at the study session, free pizza at the Larry Mindel Pharmacy School discussion, and got some more studying done. At 7:30 I went to AAS, and saw the first few minutes of Cowboy Beebop Ep.3 (I had to leave for my dorm hall meeting... we voted for lifting the visitation restraints for our section of floor 2) I got back to AAS just in time for FLCL!! Heh heh... that show is seriously messed up. But it amuses me so ^_^ And Trigun after that was wonderful. It's decently hilarious (most of the time XD) And on my way back up the hill, a girl offered to drive me and a bunch of others up to my dorm hall (yay! free trip!) It was a good day. Now if I could only get my creative recorder program working, I could send a sound sample of "21st cherry boy" (a funky song by BUCK-TICK) to my dad, who wants to know what's so funky about it.

    Hello again, peoples. I haven't written much here lately! Some stuff I do want to say is: I bougt a new manga at the mall a few days ago. It was a by a Korean artist and author, but I didn't think it would be that much different. But it was! I dunno, maybe it's just that specific author, but I didn't like it as much as the Japanese Manga I usually read. The art and story line just didn't hit me -_-;; Oh well. Hmm.... something else on my mind: Chemistry is really hard >.< poo! I'm so far behind... *sigh* I have to go to another 2 hour 50 minute lab in about 30 minutes. I just have too much stuff to do in general. Who said that college left a lot of free time!? I don't get much free time... not like I did in highschool. And I don't have a car... or job... this sucks. >.< Usually in a time of this attitude, I'd spend some lovely time browsing the web. But I can't do that! I have to go to class, and then after that I have to do hardcore homework!! I'll read my brains out. Sayounara~~

    Miyabi
    You're obsessed with your Miyabi plushie. You
    wanted a cute bratty plush with plenty of
    slutty outfits. Maybe you should think of
    buying a Sugi and Totchi plush. They're on sale
    now.

    What Guitar-playing J-rocker Plushie Would YOU Have an Obsession With?
    brought to you by Quizilla

    Hahaha!! XD This is one of the funniest quizzes I've done in a while.... Say, it's only 8:13? It seems so much later than it is... My roomate's been up here upwards of 5 times, changed clothes twice, and I just saw her leaving again to go out with friends. Makes me seem like such a social butterfly eh? Meh, now I feel like Lain. She turned the light off and there's only the screen to keep me company... But it's really enough. If I was out in the arctic somewhere, where no one else was around and I only had my computer in a little dark igloo, I would feel just fine and dandy how I am now. I wouldn't mind that I skipped dinner, or that this is Friday night and I haven't done anything but classes and my computer all day. But it's the GUILT that I'm SUPPOSED to be going out to dinner with friends and not staying locked up in my room that's making me feel bad. However, I also feel secure enough just to say phooey to all that.

    Hey... does the comment about the Sugi and Totchi plushies being on sale mean that they're not wanted enough to be sold at full price? >.< Or does the word sale mean that they're new arrivals at the Plushie Mart? Hmm... I'll have to think about this one for a while....

    So, I decided to add an entry... I put it on my planner today at lunch, along with some stuff I wanted to write down... let's see. College gives alot of busywork, the insects here are terrible, much worse than the gigantic bugs in Japan even. In math today, a bee flew straight into my hand (as in, my hand was clasped over my pencil and the bee flew INSIDE!) And then, it wouldn't fly off of my hand, but continued crawling all over it. I tried shooing it, didn't work, shaking it off, didn't work, and I wasn't gonna swat it. >.< It also flew straight at my face, but got caught in my hair, where I got it off by hitting it with my pencil. THEN, it came back and landed on my shoulder while it crawled around for a while... I hate the %#@^! bees here. And also, there's a big problem with gnats. I get about 5 of them circling my head like electrons (ack chemistry!) everytime I go out. I swat them away, but there's always more! HAHAHA! Look at how much FUN I'm having with the GNATS! O^* Oh yeah, and today I stupidly ran into 3 people, causing shame to myself. Sigh... Oh! But here's a good note sorta... I seem to keep seeing the same distraction everytime I eat dinner. Hmmm... except for last night -_- oh well. It pains me anyway because I know I will never... know. Well, Cheers to obscurity!

    OK. This is rewritten, because the computer deleted my first attempt at an entry...

    Hey all, the few, the none, who read my weblog. Yeah, I'm pretty depressed today... I just finished my chemistry assignment, which includes 6 skipped questions and 3 that I couldn't even begin to translate... And that's pretty bad considering there's only 15 questions, and it was supposed to be a quick, 30 minute, "easy" introductory assignment. It took me at least an hour and 15 minutes to do the 6 questions I did. -_- Does no one know what w/w means and what the hell I'm supposed to do with it?? And there's disagreeances with the ƒ‹ƒ€ƒ}ƒCƒg... and the kanji of the day on NJStar Japanese word processor was —ò as in —ò‚é (to fall behind; to be inferior to) and —ò“™ (inferiority; low grade)... how telling. And most of all I have the horrible feeling someone I care a lot about wants me to stop expecting so much and to stop being so selfish. But then again they don't really care what I do, so it's not gonna upset them if I keep on being my pathetic self. I better feel better by tomorrow, cause I got a lot of shit to do all day long. Oh well, at least my solitary visit to the Super Target is something I can look forward to. They better have that pillow I want, because if I'm feeling like I do now tomorrow and they are all sold out, someone's gonna die. -_- ...ah who am I kidding... just myself mostly. Or I could just go on an anime splurge, spend like 70 bucks on DVDs, then go home and watch them... skip my homework, and be in a bigger heap of shit. Yeah, I was right. Life for me sucks. Is A Rose for Emily an uplifting story? I hope so, because I'm shackled by the homework evilness, and I can't do anything but reading for now.

    The weekend is not our own. That's what my Chem teacher said as he assigned 3 chapters to read as review. Well, pooey on that, cause Saturdays are no day for homework! I woke up late, put up christmas lights for decoration (they're so pretty! I even worked in the paper lantern I got from Japan!) watched anime (the roomate's gone for the whole day) and went to the Super Target by way of the city bus. Ya know that Saturday Night Live sketch (heh. sketch... that's what Matt always said.) about the Super Target? Yep. That's what it's really like. They have these maps at certain stations with a little marker YOU ARE HERE. The place is darn huge. The lineup of checkout counters streches out nearly disappearing over the horizon. I got a bucket, batteries, grab-it (no dust on my stereo! Off! Off!!) And various foodstuff, including short-grain rice ^_^. Then I left the store, and remembered the bus comes only once every hour, and I'd missed it by 10 minutes. I walked around outside wondering if there was any path I could take to the mall, but it was on the other side of the highway -_-. That took up about 20 minutes, then I went back in the Super Target and sat around in the food court. I finally bought a pretzel, and made an origami crane out of the wrapper. I'm pretty proud that I remembered how to do it, because last time I tried making one, I couldn't do it. All I had to do was start out with what I thought was going to be a flower, and then all of a sudden it was a crane o_O... About that time I went back outside to wait for the bus. 2 other girls from my college were there and they had bought fish for their dorm pet ^o^. I later saw one of them at the cafe, where I went to eat as soon as I got back to campus. I was gonna read my chem book while I ate, but there were too many distractions...

    Then Nate and 3 of his friends showed up so I joined them to eat. It was a good time ^^ We talked a lot about owls (5 owls, one hawk to be exact) that DO exist in a shack somewhere in Scotland. And it was great when Nate spilled his soda. We want to have a crazy movie watching night sometime. Then we went to the Governors Hall basement and played Uno until 10:30. I won the first and last games! ^_^ The first and second went pretty quick, but then the last one just kept GOOOOOOing. We had people laying out their cards on the table in a grid system, just because they were too lazy to hold them in their hands anymore. XD It was great. The Hall director's fiance came down and gave us cookies. Crazy! I hope I see them again sometime. I always feel dumb when we all went home. They say something like "Well, it was nice to meet you!" and instead of saying "Nice to meet you too!" I say something stupid like "Thanks!" What planet did I learn English on? Meh. That's how it goes. I saw Femoc (fits easily in most overhead compartments) earlier today, and I said something stupid like that to him too. Oh, I remember... Femoc: "Have a nice day!" Me: "Ok." Dumb!!! Maybe I need to read more books or get more sleep or something.

    Hey! It's me again! I had a great day yesterday, and I was so busy talking to people online I didn't even get a chance to write about it. I met so many people I haven't seen in such a long time!!!!!! ^_____^ And 'twas the best. Even if I didn't get to talk/IM/chat with them very long, it made me so happy to catch up, and it was just like old times *happy nostaligic sigh* So, today was busy too. I had a total of 2 and 1/2 hours free from 7 in da morning to 9:30 at night. Then I had to do homework until now, where I get to relax for a whole... not long time until I have to shower and go to sleep. I have to wake up early tomorrow too. One REALLY good thing about today... Ok, 2... First, I have someone I sorta have been getting to know in chem lab, who can be my partner. The only problem is he's really smart in chemistry, and I'm gonna feel stupid. -_- 2nd really good thing: The Terrace!!! I ate there with my FYE (first year experience) class, and it's absolutely wonderful! It's all you can eat REAL FOOD. Plus burgers and icecream if you want it too ^.~ I had a salad, lots of fruit, and grilled cheese. They also have oriental food, but I didn't notice it until I had gotten all my food. You pay at the beginning with the Blugold card, and I'm not sure how much it was, but someone said it was like $3.10. That's a freakin' good deal!!! When you can get a single pretzel for that amount at the Hillside Foodcourt, I could be eating a full meal??? I better check it out to make sure that's right before I go eating all my meals there...

    Well, I've been here a few days, and I guess I can say college is... ok. I haven't met many new people, but some are ok, even though we still don't do anything together. I've got some complaints about my computer service here, even though I can't change them, I will complain about them here >.<
    What's with all this crap we have to download for virus control? Sure, there's a anti virus program, but then theres ALL these "removal tools" and "safety patches" which don't specify which operating system they go with, and they have goofy names like the viruses have themselves... Sobig Virus Removal Tool? I don't trust it. Besides, I couldn't even load it on my comp because of operating system misconfigurations. So I left the rest of the "tools" undownloaded. Anyway, on to the next complaint. This is about Windows 2000.
    See! I told ya 2000 sucked! It automatically updates windows media player, and now I cannot watch ANY media player files on it. What's up with that?! %$##@(* Windows... I really wanted to watch those Due le quartz music videos tonight...

    Yeah, so I pretty much spend my day thinking to myself and daydreaming, or getting songs stuck in my head. One guy I met (he was my Milk Song partner on the first day) ate lunch with me one day when we had another one of those Cubefest-bee-infested picnics, and we were talking about music. He likes Ska and punk (at least it's not rap like most of the guys here...) I told him I liked Japanese music, and he said his friends actually like that too! So he has a bunch of friends who listen to Visual Kei, and they have piles of magazines of it, and he says he might have heard Duel Jewel from his friends too. I was so happy to know there are some other VK fans in Wisconsin! Anyway... I think I came here to write about something else but I forgot after I discovered the crappy windows 2000 rip off...
    Oh yeah! There was a hypnotist here tonight, and so I thought it'd be fun to go, so I get there when it starts at 7, and all of a sudden this acapella boy band starts performing. I took a nap. An hour later, it's time for the hypnotist! This guy is a fancy hypnotist from Las Vegas, but he wasn't as good as the guy at our senior party. He got the people hypnotised all right, but he kept using stupid background music and making unnecessary sound effects... *sigh* It was like he was entertaining himself more than anything. And he had them do a farting contest? Why?? That was dumb. The only good part was when he got them to act like popstars or whatever. Then the people could really act out their part, instead of just shaking their butt while the guy made farting sound effects (that was so dumb!)

    Tomorrow, I want fruit for breakfast... I'll have to go buy it somewhere... but Lo! There's bananas in the fridge! Maybe my roomate will let me eat them.

    IT'S BEEN A TIME.

    Yup. 7 weeks in Japan, and then straight off to college. At camp I think I went through blog withdrawl and almost completely filled up a written jounal with everything I did while in Japan. Hey ^^; it's a good read... So, I made about 20 new good friends, and had a darn tootin' good time. Then, before I can even get unpacked when I return home, I have to pack and leave for college. Half an hour before we leave for Eau Claire, we get a phone call that my grandmother just passed away. We had seen her not 12 hours earlier the previous day, looking fine (though we knew she was recovering from a few ailments and accidents she just had) Either way, it was so sad and suprising, especially for my dad. T_T We still made it up to the college, but we were late so we had to rush moving into my room and it wasn't a very happy time, like it should have been. I also got a bee sting (so many bees around here) And because of my Grandma's funeral, I'll have to miss the first day of classes. After I got settled in and took multiple naps, I felt better, and we went to the orientation picnic for freshman. They had a bunch of activities going (I made a wax cast of my hand) And then we had a speaker welcome us to the place and all. We did the Milk song!! (Anyone from camp knows what I'm talking about XD) I was so excited and I think I scared many people around me. The dorm I'm in is really cute (It's an all girl dorm though) And I think I'll like it here.

    I can't think of anything else to write.... except:

    I miss all my DJ friends! I feel so out of touch... I hope I meet up with you online soon.

    I'm all packed! HurraH! I'm incredibly stressed though, and my parents have been freaking out all day arguing about luggage and other little trivial things. They're worse than gerbils fighting XD I wish I could put a wire wall in between them too! It's not that they're mad at each other, they just can't handle stress... it's really annoying. Anyway, it's all sorted out for now, and I hope I'm good for all the luggage restrictions. I wish I had more sleep >.< I stayed up all night last night, and tonight is getting pretty late too. I have to leave at 7 am today. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep on the plane, but there might be too much excitement going through my head to sleep through!

    I made a new blog for my Japan trip so my relatives can look at it too. There won't be any links to this site, because I wanna keep this one secret. It also has a nifty "post a comment" function, but I disabled it -_- sorry minna! I don't think I'll have enough time to check comments, and that would make me sad. If it turns out I can use the computer more often, I'll change the settings. Here is the new blog:
    Across the Umi
    Umi was my name in Japanese class (or Umiko sometimes) I want my relatives who aren't too good at computers to be able to read it too, so that's probably the reason it seems so simple ^^;

    There's one thing thats really bugging me though. My parents won't let me go to the Duel Jewel live unless I have a FULL escort or something. So someone has to come with me from the front of the doorstep to the livehouse or I can't go. Oh well, I hope it all works out. >.< I hope Mari~e has a good flight and I can contact her soon! I should know where my host family is by then ;_; (Oh... so many unanswered questions!! This is what's causing me stress ne... ><)

    On another note, Happy Birthday Dreya! XP (on the 3rd) I'm glad you liked the Sanrio pen/pencil ^_^

    Neesh! I woke up early today with the radio alarm, and guess what song I heard? Trust! by... something or other (I swear I used to know it!) Either way, it brought back fond memories of Dustbunnys concerts, and the traditional circle pit that would occur when you guys would play that one part... *.*

    Anyway, I have to talk backwards now, so here is the newest news: Mari~e can make it to the Duel Jewel July 26th live!! Oooh! 'Twill be so much fun! I hope bunny can make it too! There is still much to figure out, yes!
    *Conscience: "Vela~~ you still need to pack... shouldn't you be worrying about that more~~?"*
    O_o ...there's still a week for that ne? Ahehe..

    Yesterday was my last day at work! It was kinda a... day. Two of the bussers had an argument with the cook, and so the cook told them to just leave, so they did. Then the two other bussers were being a little too nice to me, being it my last day. They suggested I should be given a "Good-bye Pie"! (the pies are really good at my restuarant) but... I didn't get any. -_- I did get to taste a sample of the new cheesecake though! Right after work I went to Andy's "Sayounara" party for us going to Japan. I missed most of it of course, but I got to play charades and eat cookies.

    On Thursday, I went to the Chicago Art Museum with my Godmother. It was a wonderful day! We saw the Himalayan exibit, and then spent the rest of the day walking around the streets. It was so interesting nya!! We went to the Cheescake Factory for dinner, this fun huge restuarant that is also a bakery for cheesecake. I ordered Orange Chicken, and it was so yummy!! OoH! The bread was great too. There were also snowpeas (I love those) We were so full at the end, we decided to come back later for cheesecake. We went shopping and at Nordstroms in the Sanrio store I bought a cute lil' pen ^_^ You even got a free gift with any purchase there! (It was a flying train viewfinder something or other) When we came back to the Cheesecake Factory, it was PACKED. But we found an open table right away in the self-seating area. ^o^ We got some caramel-chocolate goo cheesecake which was very good. Too bad they didn't have a Val-shaped cheesecake! XD I would have left that on the suggestion card if they had one. "Hey! Your cheesecake is great, but why don't you have Val-shaped Cheesecake?? I was very disappointed ;_; I'm sorry, but I don't think I'll return to your restuarant until you update your menu of cheesecakes."
    On the way home we listened to some of my godmother's tapes, which was enjoyable. (XD why am I talking like this ne?) There was this crazy fun "Spy Song" that she really liked by this guy by the name of Matt Bianco. (Or something) I'll have to download some of that off Kazaa. Kekeke. We also listened to Alanis Morrisette, which was what I listened to in 6th grade XD It was nice to listen to that again I guess. We passed by the lakefront when we got to Milwaukee so we could see the Big Bang fireworks, which were going on at the time. It was great how it all worked out like that! Ooh, 'twas a fun time.

    Feckin crappy day today. Hmm.. maybe not the whole day (I woke up with this crazy dream about a little boy who could disappear into this small box and lure people inside to their deaths (or to their inconvienence) it was an all-around good dream)
    But THEN!... I went to the bank to cash my checks. I went to the post office to mail my hair donation to locks of love. I got out my coin purse to pay for the $2.21 shipping and handling. Somewhere around that time (I'm guessing), I LOST the rest of the bills in my coin purse (around $30) but I didn't notice until I was up to the cashier at Walmart (my next stop) I had to tell her to hold my stuff behind the counter until I went and got some money -_-;;;;;; That's too embarrasing for me. I drove back to the post office to ask if they found any money (and btw, it was freakishly hot driving around everywhere like this...) They didn't know anything about the money. I couldn't get the money at the atm because I don't know my pin number for my checking card, so I went all the way home. I learn there that I could have used my checking card to pay for the stuff at Walmart WITHOUT knowing my pin number. Stresssssssss. I go back to Walmart and pay for my stuff. OK, done. NO! When I'm driving out of the shopping comlplex thing, I need to get into the far right lane. There's a lady in a car blocking my way to that lane, even though my signal's been on for a while. So then I'm nervously glancing back to see if she's moved, but it seems she doesn't care. Then, because I'm so stupid looking backwards instead of forwards, I run into the curb on the left side of the road because I didn't turn sharp enough as the road curved. There's a REALLY bad sound, then I turn and try to get into the right lane as best I could. You think someone would notice a van scraping into the opposite curb of you, but I guess not. I get home and check out the car, and the tire's RIPPED. Not all the way through, but all the way through the first layer of rubber. Yeah, so we're gonna have to get a new tire for that. >.<

    After I argue with my mom over whether I "crashed" the car because I was "thinking about too many things" and "hormones" or because I'm just a stupid akward driver, it starts to rain really hard. The dog (Ace) is whining to get out, so I do. (Then I discovered it was only because another dog was loose and running around our yard) He runs full speed at this dog and KACHUNG! ... rips the tie out line straight out of the house. The other end was still attached to the tree so he didn't get loose, but GRAAA~!! Now we have another crappy broken thing. He and the other dog play around for a while and I decide to stay out so I could give Ace a bath in the rain. Plus, it's rain. It's my fun. Mya ovo That was when the day started getting better.

    I sucessfuly fixed my college first semester schedule from what I quickly scraped together at registration. Yay. Now I'm actually taking classes that are required for my major. I emailed my advisor about it to make sure it's ok though ^^; I really hope it is... I don't want to go back to what I had from registration... which was basically everything I'd taken in highschool, plus a gym class. >.<

    I also got an email from Guy Healy, saying it's ok for me to go to the Duel Jewel Tokyo live on July 26. *^___^* I even found the website for the livehouse Narciss. So now I need to wait for them to update the schedule, find out when DJ is playing, how much it costs, how to get there, and then go crying to Mari~e because I don't know any of this stuff. I also hope I can go with Bunny or Mari~e (or both? ^U^) so we can have a funner time all together.

    And there's one more good thing - I finally got my haircut pictures uploaded. HERE

    I feel like Shirley Temple! (I curled my hair) I still don't have any pics up of my haircut, but when I do I'll show the funky Shirley Temple pictures too. ^o^ Yummy!
    I'm gonna be gone for a while at college registration, so... yeah... I'm not gonna be here. >.< ick. College!! Too many things to get ready for that. And I need to get ready for Japan at the same time! ;_; I re-emailed Guy Healy this morning asking about going to Duel Jewel lives, because he STILL hasn't responded. *** ooh this is a good song *** ::dances:: ANYway, I hope he's not dead. (real point there eh? XD)

    Yay! It's up! This may seem like a sad layout, but I'm actually not that depressed. I'm in a good mood still ^_^. Last night (or this morning actually) I was watching Hellsing (anime) at Sio's house with Jordan Hansen. It was really good!! I sorta forgot how much I like anime, but that brought back all my memories. I'm glad I picked a sorta anime-themed layout this time (the lain picture) The only bad thing was that bunny's farewell chat was going on at the same time ;_; and I MISSED being there to say goodbye with everyone. I hope she has a good time in Tokyo, and I really want to meet up with her and Mari~e sometime when I get there!!! Guy Healy still hasn't replied about my requests to go to the DJ Shizuoka live, so I have no clue how that's gonna work out-- T^T...

    In other news I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow. TOMORROW. Ahh!! I have to go to work shortly after. I'll be sure to get plenty of pictures before and after, and then stick them up on my Web Net, my brand new collective of stuffs from little ol' me. I made it mainly so I could keep track of anything I have on the web, but anyone could look at it I guess.

    Vela realized she felt better at 07:11 p.m. while feelin' good about her new layout.

  • Ob. Dep.
    Another completely image-free layout this is! ...Sometimes I think people can get obsessed with being depressed. I want to stop being depressed so much. It just causes me anxiety, and then I'm more depressed. This little phrase (obsession depression) popped into my head one day and I thought it would be a good layout title.

    Ok, enough of that crap. The picture the googlisms form is from the opening sequence to Lain: Serial Experiments. Do you like that series? Tell me on the guestbook! Yep, I've ressurected the Super-Simple Sad Guestbook for your ignoring pleasure.
