So something just might fill this darknes tonight  

Like my Togainu entourage? XD I got Motomi and n when Kinonuniya had a couple of these figureines in stock. They needed (?) Akira so once I found the bigger Akira, voila! My fav charas all nice and cozy together❤

One thing though, how can people handle figuerines? n has an attach-case which you're supposidely able to switch with the suitcase bag in his hand, but it's so tiny. I can't keep my fingers still enough to switch. I used to be able to made gunplas, but looks like my my dexterity skills' gone down (=w=;). But how can people handle heads, hands, and other things on stuff like that?

So, Iately I've been adding onto Out of Orbit: Depot. It's a journal where I attampt to transliterate and translate Japanese lyrics. I'm all caught up on the transliterating into romaji! Translations, er, I've only been able to finish about 1/3 (=w=;). Fun tho!

I moved the journal from GJ to IJ since GJ crashed ditched out on all its users (humph) (userpics went from 2000 → 100→5). They may have their collisions, LJ is the best journal site out there IMO. Others I've seen (while searching for a place to move the GJ), they're impossoble to figure out, won't let you join, or constantly get stuck on errors. IJ has it's gliches too, but I guess not as bad as others. Hopefully they'll change the navigation layout, because it makes userpages ugly.

Get ready!  
My dogs had an encounter with a skunk last night so our house reeks of .... sickening smells.... (*faints)
I called the vet this morning and was recommended hydrogen peroxide. Chemistry dunce that I am, I have no idea how this works. I just finished wrestling in the shower to wash the two dogs. So far seems to be working? Such a horrible smell though, ugh...... I set up like 7 air fresheners... ( ̄ー ̄;)

On a totally different note, YOU TWO are just the cutest things ever!!❤

My family and I watched Dumbo the other night, for the first time in many years. Forgot that Dumbo actually never talks XD.

Also forgot about this, The Pink Elepants sequence
Dumbo gets drunk and has this hallucination:

Dude, how did I not realize this freakiness as a child!? (0□0;)

Just a step and you're away  
I feel dumb every time I let myself get worked up about online forum "discussions". No offense to anyone who genuinely thinks and comments, but manymanymaaany use those forums to just kill time and SAY BULL. It's like the pinnacle of people making anonymous comments to hear themselves speak.
Of course, people have developed ways to make those into workable communities. There are people who do take those seriously. And if a person want to spend all day on those sites that is absolutely up to oneself to decide and judge. However I have not achieved the wisdom to handle that. ...i.e. I let myself get annoyed when commenters either hord over an opinion and say how "dumb", "immature" and "morally flawed" disagreers are, or endlessly bash anything and everything for the sake of..... I don't know, sounding original? (=_=;).
Repeat to self, it's just a forum... it's just a forum... why should you care about anonymous comments on a forum...

Thing is, I have a VERY sensitive nerve when it comes to people hinting "be ashamed to think that!" "be ashamed to not agree with me!". Pokes DIRECTLY into one of my biggest pet peeves (=3=;). But online comments are another matter. It's not personal, it's not serious. Just a matter of either ignoring or sorting out within oneself.
.....ehehehe ...see, how I have to dissect and digest it like this is what I feel embarassed about σ(*´ー`*;)

But hey, sometimes NicoNico&YouTube can produce some amusing stuff, like this (*slight spoilers for Higurashi?) and this XD (YouTube links since NicoNico requires you to log in)

Just had to make this:


Speaking of annoying, my car got broken into last week. While it was parked in our DRIVEWAY. Public parking lot, out in the street, I guess it happens, but right in front of your garage? when there's a motion-sensor light right there? I guess my poor little Toyota Yaris was an easier target than the SUVs, BMWs, or Jaguars in the neighborhood (*pets Yaris).
I didn't have anything fancy in the car, so it was stuff like chargers for cell-phones and ipods, sweaters, $10 soda-cooler, and sketchbooks that were stolen. Great loot huh? Noone got hurt, car wasn't drastically damaged, and the total sum of the stolen stuff probably doesn't go above $200, but still, bloody annoying. And quite frankly, I feel violated more than scared. The sketchbooks and sweaters stolen included stuff my friends gave me (;_;).
I'm willing to bet the "robbers" were just some neighborhood punks. Nobody who wanted real financial gain would steal risk breaking into a car petty stuff like notebooks. Probably the same asses who egg&toilet-paper people's cars at night or yell obsceneties at you across a super-market parking lot and think that's brilliantly funny. Dear kids, FIND A BETTER HOBBY.
(*sigh)

Whose turn is it next?  
What have I been doing these days? Oh aboslutely lovingly nothing (=w=)
I'd registered at a job-searching agency back in early May, so I have been job searching. Oh that thing where it was maybe possible I might be able to work at the bookstore I'd previously been at? That didn't work out. The people at the bookstore wanted me, and kept pushing for the owners to hire me, but just didn't go through. Oh well.

So, Hyotei cast is indeed changing for the next Tenimyu :( I guess it can't be helped, though does seem a little disappointing. The first Hyotei cast was so perfect. I'm actually quite relieved this many of the cast remained ゚+.(・w・)゚+.゚.
I don't think it's that surprising Saito Takumi leaving as people are taking it though. The story on Japanese fansites was that the whole "ZOMG HYOTEI CAST WILL CHANGE!" thing started because Saito was pissed at fans grabbing at his crotch (=_=;). Then again, this rumor spread eons ago, even escalating to fans crying that "Tenimyu might be ending" (*cue slight worry you don't want to admit you once believed eye roll). Exactly why I avoid forums (well, one of the reason) -avoid unfounded "rumors" (GSD fans, remember those "ending spoilers"?).
Speaking of, the new Atobe got kicked off for "indecent behavior". my my what the heck did he do?

I'm thinking about changing the name of my dingie little site. The one right now seems a bit too, romantic? idealized? Yes yes it's an embarassing abbatoir-site noone should have to endure, but since I did start it, might as well take care of it (〃 ̄ω ̄〃ゞ
Suggestions for a name? Please? Any? If you leave it up to me it'll likely become a song title or lyrics.

Also, anybody want me to link to their site? Wait, let me rephrase that -Will anybody let me link to their site? +。:.゚(人〃∇〃)*。:.゚*゚.:。+゚(〃∇〃人)゚.:。+

Another interview tomorrow... Wish me luck!

Under the cloudless stars, this faith is true  
Guess who's the idiot who slammed a car door shut on her leg? Σ(=▽=;). ahahahaha doesn't hurt anymore, but the blood vessles are working hard to fix it (maybe I can convince people it's a tatoo?). A friend suggested putting ice on it, but I didn't want to make it look like more than it is. I'll never forget, back a while ago when I got a bad burn on my arm, that look of horror on a girl's face when she looked at the bandages on my wrist. I kinda wish I'd cleared it up with her (=w=;). oh me and my injuries, we have fun.

So life's obviously been centering around researching for senior thesis. My biggest problem is narrowing down the topic. gehhhh so much that's so cool! (well, to geeks me at least). I've found I like doing research☆. Writing the actual paper, that's a different story :P

We've also been hearing info about jobs opportunities. The ads at Japanese markets are always either for waitresses or sushi-chefs - but I've been strongly advised not to to the former, it's apparently a hell-induced job. Sushi-chef? ....can I mention I've messed up making miso soup before? Someone suggested becoming a flight attendant. ......mmmmmmmm (^_^;).


Shinn and Stellar in Saber&Emiya's attire from Fate/Zero. ack oc Used the figurines as resource since I don't have the actual novels (^^;).

My liking of Itou Kanako and brief conversation with [info]rosederwuste a while ago now has me collecting loads of Nitro+ (game company) songs~. Most of what I've managed to collect are in low quality, but eh, better than nothing. I never knew games had such great songs! They're all so awesome! Come to think of it, I've Sound songs are mostly naughty game theme songs too. This one (*points to "Now Listening") is from Nitro+ too. It's the image song (opening?) for Fate/Zero (←Nitro+ collaborated with Type Moon).

Fate/Zero looks pretty interesting. Actually what I reaaaalllly wish I could get is Togainu no Chi Gaiden -especially the Motomi and n chapters~♡. But alas, it was sold at Comiket, and the only place I've found that still sells it is Toranoana (←mega-otaku shop) σ( ̄、 ̄=). mmerrrr~ gimmi my older-dudes love~

Oh and about the recommended teas, I haven't been able to find neither Jasmine tea nor black tea yet (´・ω・`), but will keep trying~

slightly bigger version also

Not that I'm doing anything or I think Valentine's day is a big deal, but since I felt like it :P
Forgive me to have soiled your friends list~ \(^w^o)

Recent boom of mine: instant tea & coffee. My mom gave me her old&small hot-water boiler this semester, so instant noddles ahoy! And I've recently been trying out tea and coffee brands. Which explains why my sleeping schedule goes funky all the time. There so many out there. Someone recommend me something~

Btw, anybody know boba tea? Does anybody know what kind of tea they use in those? I haven't been able to find the name yet.
For those that haven't heard of it, boba tea is (as I've seen) milk tea with tapioca in it. It may look weird, but it's actually really good! Fills you up pretty good too.

Anyways, have a good day everyone~ Talk to you later~

Every once in a little while  
Have you ever had times where your train of thought leads to raising a question, then your mind goes light and blank because there's no answer to that question? For me, I've had episodes where I inexplicably wonder how everything came to be, where and how life forms comes from. In the past I probably would have answered "it just is because it is", but it hasn't been so clear-cut lately. But it's happened a number of times these past weeks, and everytime I get overwhelmed by a sense of immense fear, probably because there of course is no one-and-only-fool-proof answer. It's a boundless and aimless thing to wonder, and I have no idea why thrains of thought led there.
A remedy I've been working on for times like that is telling myself "wake up!". No use scaring myself. And it's obviously all in my mind. Just back-up a bit, take a deep breath, and remember to remember you're okay. It's weird how the mind does things like this to itself. There really is no answer, and all we can do is come up with an answer for ourselves.

Set your iPod on shuffle, ask the following questions. The songs that appear each time are your answers. Cheating is strongly frowned upon.

1.How does the world see you? "Continued (movie ver.)"-Heart-beat (as, mellow? a little romantic? (*gets bludgeoned))
2.Will I have a happy life? "Do Your Best II"-Tenimyu (LOL! XD)
3.What do my friends think of me? "*~Asterisk"-Orange Range (awwww ♡)
4.Do people secretly lust after me? "rainy day"-Hamasaki Ayumi (hmmm, that can be interpreted in many ways)
5.How can I make myself happy? "Oboeteteiiyo"-KOTOKO (I kind of find that fitting :D)
6.What should I do with my life? "many classic moments"-globe (uh...find love then lose it?...)
7.Will I ever have children? "NO MYSELF NO LIFE"-Sakurada Doori (does that mean I'll have adorable ones like Doori?!)
8.What is some good advice for me? "Oreta Tsubasa de~with broken wings"-Suzumura Kenichi (ahahahaha yes I will!)
9.How will I be remembered? "Ai no Kotodama~Spiritual Message"-Southern All Stars (pffffff XD)
10.What's my signature dancing song? "Hoshi ni Negai wo"-Cocco (how?!)
11.What's my current theme song? "RISE ON GREEN WINGS"-Itou Kanako (cool!)
12.What do others think is my current theme song? "Heart of Sword~Yoake Mae (karaoke ver.)"-T.M.Revolution (HOT DAMN!!)
13.What shall they play at my funeral? "Dakara sono te wo hanashite"-B'z (whatever you guys think fit! XD what is it with B'z being played at my funeral? (a previous music meme said the same))
14.What type of women do I like? "I just can't wait to be king"-Disney (Lion King) (whaaaat?!)
15.What type of men do I like? "Raining"-Cocco (yum, angst♡)
16.How's my love life? "DRIVE"-BACK-ON (I love you too! XD)

Now off to Mistuwa to see if they have any new funky drinks~
