It's time to breathe a little easier. Because....

 

 

 

I GOT ACCEPTED TO PITT!!!!!!!

 

I'm going to college bitches!

I have returned after a hellishly long time. Dunno why I chose now to return, I have the worst cold ever and I just want to die since I think my head is about to 'splode. Oh well, hopefully by coming back here I'll be able to just get back into the habit of doing things. I've become so lethargic as of late, and I can't stand it, but I just can't seem to help it.

Flargh...I feel so brain dead....I want to do something creative and productive.....but I can't think of anything. >< Blargh!....Anything that might help my brain start working would be greatly apriciated. I must do something. Anything. *starts attacking the brick wall with a toothpick.*

Wow, I haven't been on here in forever. O.O

Well... I guess I haven't been here because I don't know what to write about. ^^; Eventhough there's a lot going on. I just I dunno. But I am back now and I'll try to start updating with stuff again soon.

Well, I'll update this in bit and peices, mostly now about the dance only, and tomorrow I'll add everything else. I'm very wired right now I drank an entire bottle of code red mountain dew, and the pop I drink on a normal basis is caffeene free....you can imaginge what this is doing to my sistem right now. >< Seeing as I can't type, luckliy I can still catch most of my mistakes before you all get to read this. And now to what you all want to read.

Dance prep:

So I got home from the game, cold, damp, semi-sore throat, (I was still able to sing very well which surprised me) and somewhat depressed, not to mention very very sore. I was miserable, and it showed, so my parents suggest that I take some advil, and shower and that should help me feel much better. So I go in my room and get some nice shower stuff, that should help lift my spirits, and also my cd player and a cd. So then I proceed to take my nice hot steamy shower with the Gackt era Malice Mizer, and all was good. And I felt much better afterward, all though still mildly sore. (Ok....umm...that *bursts out laughing* I can't believe I said that, it sounds so wrong....but I'll leave it for you entertainment.)So I finished getting ready, singing like an idiot, and loving it.

Dance:
Alright, to sum this up quickly because, I'm starting to get very tired very fast. The first part mildy sucked, then I started talking to Brenden then a friend of his showed up, and things were fun and then I was talking to Amanda, and things got even better. So I did enjoy myself very much.

Ok....I'm exausted, the caffeene is now having the reverse effect, or more or less I am still hyper I just have like no energy left to burn really.....good night...*falls asleep at computer*

It's times like this when I wish I had a heart of stone frozen deep with in a block of ice.
I should have known that my best judgement,
my best attempts to be nuteral, fair,
to try to solve the problem, were useless,
and a waste of time.
Now here I stand accused
when I never wanted to hurt anyone.
It hurts like hell, and I can't stop crying.
I know it's pointless but I can't bring myself to stop. I
t seems like throwing myself
into some black abyss is the only answer but that is pointless.
And again I say :
It's times like this when I wish I had a heart of stone frozen deep with in a block of ice.

I LOVE YOU KYO! ^^ *big glomp* ok, that enough, more to come next time I'm highly bored.

I love when I actually get people to react exactly how the characters feel to a piece of writting that I've done. As nasty and bloody as it is, I'm proud of that post. Now if only I could find 'the eyeball' post and see if this one tops it or not.

I just got done watching Advent Children, and I soooooo loved it. I can't and won't say much about the actual plot since I missed a lot of the diologue, and I don't want to spoil stuff. But I am going to say that I feel that they got it right this time around. It was absolutely stuning. As a stand alone film it may not be the greatest, but as a tribute to Final Fantasy VII and as a way to see characters and places that many of us know and love, on a new adventure, I don't think a better job could have been done. I must say good job Square, this has definately been worth the wait. And have found redemption after the horrible sin of Spirits Within.

ok, so I really don't hate it. It's a nice holiday and there's tons of food and family, a nice warm up for Christmas. Which is wonderful, what I hate is the more or less economic side of Thanksgiving, you know all those sales right after to urge people to get up on their holiday shoping, ect. Normally I don't mind so much because it doesn't really affect me, but this time I do, why? Advent Children's american release is being delayed because:

"the publisher wants to get those lucrative day-after-Thanksgiving "Black Friday" sales." - 1up.com

So everyone else gets it Sept. 13th as promised, except us. I hope this means they plan to market and hype it like mad since as it is I don't think there are going to be tons more people rushing to get it in November as opposed to September, probably even less because it'll be out on the internet after the first week of it's release in Japan.

A holiday is a time of family fun and food, not an economic excuse to screw people over for your own potential gain. At least I found out before hand rather than showing up at the store on Tuesday and wondering why it's not out.


So now the wait is pushed back to Nov. 14

Sony Pictures you suck you greedy jerks! >

Alright, so my CDs showed up on thursday which made me happy. ^^ I love them all to death! *glee*. There is a dragon being reincarnated at my house, joy. And umm.....Advent Children comes out on Tuesday, unless it's been suddenly changed, so I should probably check in on that. And umm.....I'm going away to Gettysburg this coming weekend, and stuff. Around the 28th I begin awaiting the arrival of my fourth and final cd that I ordered. I should probably check back and see if they updated to say what surprise was coming with the first press.

On the creative side of things, my little evil organization that still has no point other than I got bored with a pack of tarot cards and thought 'Wouldn't it be cool to put an evil organization in some story or something that each person has a tarot card for their rank, and a angel demon what ever bound to them' It's growing slowly but surely. Umm.....I'm trying to get my brain out of Genji's time period since my audience for 'Taking Over Me' is getting a bit impatient, and also I need to get Frozen back on track. And then on the other hand I need to pick up translating Robot again, I sooooo fell behind on that ><

So yeah, that's my life as of now. I'm going to try to actually post something more coherent and meaningful soon.

I AM BORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That is all. I just felt the need to update since I have nothing better to do, but I really don't have anything worth saying right now. But I'll probably hop on later and give a short review of the first 10 chapters of 'The Tale of Genji'. Since it's made me think, and I'd love to elaborate on how apparently one of the themes is 'Being the most handsome and prefect man on the face of the earth really isn't what it's all cracked up to be.'Seeing how terrible Genji's love life is. But that is a matter for later since I have yet to finish chapter ten. So I'll probably go do that now. Ja ne.

I'm rather bored and I came up with a short little poem. Of course it's no surprise since I've been reading The Tale of Genji all morning which is peppered with short poems. Though mine is a bit longer, I hope you all still like it.


The Phoenix and Dragon although a match they make
The Phoenix's flashing feathers and quick energy
The Dragon's quiet strength and wisdom
Each the perfect compliment
Yet the Phoenix dislikes the Dragon
For a reason yet unknown
And flashes brightly and tries to dazzle
So that others’ respect commanded
But the Dragon only smiles
Knowing that all luster fades,
And true respect is not so lightly given

Alright to start us off is a little picture of the very cute baby turtle that lives in my backyard.

So I spend the day at the Renaissance Festival and had an almost total blast. My only big let down coming when I fell inlove with the most gorgous black crushed velevet cloak with a blue and silver farie star design on it. Not only was it beautiful but it was dourable (the one the shopseller was wearing she had been wearing for eight years and it was in the same pristine condition as the brand new one I was trying on), water resistant, perfect for winter and special occasion, machine washable, and did I mention absolutely wonderfully soft and comfortable. The only downfall was that it was expensive, but that seemed obvious, something so good couldn't come dirt cheep. So I look to my parents and I mean they should know I'd wear it all the time if I could, they said 'Let's talk about it,' So I'm feeling pretty confident that I'll get it since they so quickly droped $160 plus tax on my sister for a 'dog' because she's always wanted one. And we wander around some more, Sami trying to coax me into getting different little silly things with her, or playing little games, and I refuse, hoping that it'll increase my chances of getting that cloak. Lunch rolls around and I turn to my dad, and ask him if we can discuss it. The first words out of his mouth 'No.'I almost cried, I felt aweful, of course it was my own stupid fault that I even wasted getting my hopes up in the first place.

I did my best to enjoy all the other things which I did, but I'm still bothered about that cloak and I've resolved that since they won't get it for me I'll get a job in the summer and when we go next year I'll buy it myself. So we watched some juggling, not just balls, but fire and knives. ^^ And we tried some dancing, that was a bunch of fun. There was a falconry demonstration, and it was funny how one of the hawks apparently had partially been imprinted on and thought that her handler was her mate. And I watched a rather interesting comedy skit about the art of dueling, true most of the humor was pretty stupid, but I enjoyed it only because I really need to just have a good laugh, it made me feel better.

Though the highlight of my day had to be watching the various tournaments. There were three, mainly jousting with some hand to hand, but last time turned into a free for all death match, leaving I believe one knight wounded, and the other dead. I never expected to ever see a real jousting match in my life, I mean yeah everyone for the most part knew who was going to win, and there was a good bit of acting, but I think there was also a good bit of improv worked in. Sort of like the begining and end were predetermined but the path between the two was not. And I even got to bestow a favor upon one of the knights. It was nice to actually become a little part of the story, even if for a few moments when I tied the favor to the knight's lance and wished him luck. For those of you who are wondering, no he wasn't young and handsome, but I don't care. That really just, it made me very happy. You know me, I'm really imagintive, and always day dreaming about stuff, and I used to always wish I could be a real princess, or just a simple noble lady or fair maiden, and do that, I even had a dream I'd be able to do it last night, so for me, even if it was a pretty simple thing it really meant a lot to me and made my little childhood day dreams come alive for a moment.

Also did I mention the captain of the Queen's Guard was very hot, and there were lots of people in kilts. And I got to hold a real sword, it was sharp and pointy. Oh and one more thing, I did some archery and nailed the farthest target dead on. ^^

Enclosed here in is the first chapter of my Hellsing fanfic for those of you wou may enjoy it. All comments and critisims ect are most welcome. I hope you all enjoy it.

 

( Chapter 1: A Midnight Conversation )</span>

It would seem that I'm not getting that Malice Mizer box set, simply due to the fact that shipping pushes the cost way up above what I am willing to spend/what I can aford as of this moment. *sigh* Oh well, I'm planing on getting a few cds and other things instead.

If I'm lucky I could get the first set sometime next week, or at the latest some 9 weeks from now. But I shall remain hopeful.

List of what I am getting:

Dir En Grey - Gauze
Malice Mizer - Merveilles
Moi Dix Mois - Pageant (single)

I'm also getting sepreately when it's released

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children soundtrack (first release with some sort of special item that hasn't been announced yet)

Yeah, so I made or more actuately I'm in the process of making big bucks babysitting my little cousin. And I thought since I have money why not buy myself some nifty J-rock stuff, perhaps some pretty little EGL accesories. Well the acceories were just too much, I could afford what I saw that I liked but it was way more than I wanted to spend. And then I found a new limited edition box set collection for Malice Mizer's 'Merveilles' cd. It includes all this nifty extra stuff 2 dvds worth, a wooden music box (it's pretty ^^) and the concert dvd, and of course the cd.
And so I bounce down stairs to tell my parents about it since I'm not yet 18 and I won't be until after it's released in the beging of october, and probably it'll be sold out by the time I turn 18 on the 23 so I need their help to get it. So I talk to them about it, and explain how much it costs and that it only cost this much extra then if I buy the cd and concert dvd on their own, and how I feel that it's worth the cost, and that I can pay for it. My mother is like 'Can't you just download it all and burn it on a cd.' I say I probably could with a lot of work, and like a year to track down all the extra never before released stuff, but it's not the same, and I can't download a music box. And my dad agrees with me and thinks that if I think it's worth it and that I can afford it that he'll help me order it! ^^ I'm so happy.

There's also a nice tote bag I want too, a Moi Dix Mois one, but I'll probably order it seperate, just in case I have to wait for it to come with my box set which I don't want to do, I should still be able to aford it. ^^ *bounces up and down* me so happy! I really am excited about getting this box set. I don't care if it won't have subtitles, I'm sure some one will probably come out with a text translation, or I can try to figure it out my own.

I'm a little disapointed that I didn't get nearly as much done as I had wanted this summer. But I never get around to everything I want to do. So it's nothing new. It just happens to be really bad in the summer because I dunno but it makes me lazy. Oh well, I'm just going to do a song lyrics post since this song has been playing in my head a lot lately and it makes my brain itch.

"Sister of Charity"
By: The 69 Eyes

A new day for a mission
Another sunrise in your heart

Gimme tears of the wrong
The hate of convicts
The glamour of the damned
Rule of Benedict

I've never seen the dawn like this before
Tears of the night turn to diamonds in your eyes
In the face of the world's ugliness
Sister of charity
Remains a mystery

Love shines over aggression
Another wound heals in your heart

Gimme fears of the strong
The warfare politics
The decay of the west
Rule of Benedict

I've never seen the dawn like this before
Tears of the night turn to diamonds in your eyes
In the face of the world's ugliness
Sister of charity
Remains a mystery


It's a really haunting song, I like it. Now the question is, how do I make my itch into something.


Also on a side note, my parents are looking into me having me under go some sort of lazer eye correction, which as long as it's not long, involved, and painful, I have no problems with it.
