Another new project for posts!

I just liked the bunny. Evil~
It's the one controlling the radio app

So lately, I've been realizing that there are always these few things I never go anywhere without. And because I haven't had much to blog about lately, I think it would be fun to see some of my reasoning on why I like having these things/stuff nearby. I really don't have much else to post about. I would be posting on my J-Pop radio app, but it is glitching...It works fine at school!
So be ready for my "Things I Never Leave Without" series! Each one will even include a picture (or several)  depending on my mood!
Oh now the radio works... Temperamental little application.....Ahhh, but at least the music is new and cool! If only I could find a K-Pop Radio, my Freshman would be the happiest being alive. I mean, I randomly picked out some Korean songs from my playlist, and she got 90% of the songs and artists right.
Back to the main point.
So that's all that will be kinda going on until I hafta leave for Austria. I have so much to due until then. All late work for two classes is due tomorrow (but I have a C+ in both, one is an elective). So wish me luck since I also have the SAT this Saturday!
If There isn't a message that proves I'm alive on Sunday, please be slightly worried. Especially if, by Monday, there still isn't a sign of life on either of my blogs.
Alright, I'm heading to the land of Sociology Essays and World Studies crap (the class where we watch movies, take notes, and due stuff online. That's freaking it!).
Ciao for now, wish me luck!! Ganbare Masu!! Zutto Tsuzukete!!!! Akiramenaide!!!! I will finish as much as I can and pass all my classes with a 79% or higher!!!!
Here we go!
Finals week-
Bring it on!!

I have been a bad blogger....But I have something cool to share!!!

Well since I haven't gotten much new news to post about with all the interesting stuff good and gone, but I do have another "Something I wish to Share" post. And yes, it's another video! It's of an old friend who while on Facebook, found she had posted this video. So of course, I just click on it, let it load a bit, then nearly fell off my chair! I think most of you guys out there will probably be speechless too (but not as much as me, since I know her). So sit back, relax, make sure you have nothing to do for about 9 minutes and enjoy!

By the way, this is all really I have to post. I don't want to write about my oh-so-amazing coordination again, and if I wrote about Squirrel's fall, fall, trip, fall today, she may not like this since then she'll tease me again for what happened earlier.....Just leave it at that. Ciao for now!

Ehhhhhhhh.....Owwwwww.......

Stupid Self Defense Club. I show up and we do something that leaves bruises on my hand......Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
It was repetition with smacking (partner's) hand then attacking/blocking with back of other hand, then......don't make me explain it, it was hard enough trying to do it fast enough with the proper pivoting and hitting the right hand. And my second partner was the really tall guy who is also in Judo. Now I'm not that short (like 5' 6.25") but this guy is a whole head taller. And way stronger! Intimidating much? Thank gods he didn't use all of his strength. Only around a quarter.
My third partner: also a guy. But I got mad at him halfway through for saying I was the one who messed up.
We did two of these little exercises but I only practiced the second on with another girl there. Normally Freshman is my partner, but it was fun watching her and another girl (who I also don't have names for on here yet) getting frustrated since I'm normally the one who keeps them focused. I know, right? Never would have though.
Anyway, that's about it.
Oh, my party!
Only Squirrel, Spain, and Ishy showed up. Akira got really busy at the last moment, I still haven't asked Ash why she wasn't there, and Freshman's sister was in town. It was fun though! We played Hide and Seek, some board games, had two tea parties, and Squirrel chased bubbles that I blew from the second story down to her. We had balloons and spent some time smacking each other with them and Squirrel also made a balloon dog that took about 15 minutes (I filmed most of it).
After Ishy left, Squirrel wanted to watch some VHS's that I had but the player decided to die. After about 2 hours of all of us trying to work it (Spain was actually drawing a picture of Mafia Romano while Squirrel and I were the one fiddling with it), we gave up and went downstairs to steal the cords from the player in my mom's room (at around 11 at night). But even then, for some reason, the cord had a problem and we only got sound sometimes. Since when we had been looking for cords around the room earlier, we thought that maybe we could use an old speaker. While most were too new with the smaller plug-in thing, we found one that played sound. Problem: It was so quiet we all had to crowd around the speaker as one person (mostly me) had the speaker on their stomach, trying not to laugh.
Later Spain fell asleep, so Squirrel and I were able to watch the other VHS's with the speaker between us. Movies we watched? Pokemon the First Movie, Pokemon: Mewtwo's Return, Pokemon 2000, Digimon The Movie. Yes, we were all born in the 90's. And we could all tell the movies were made in the 90's with the type of music and jokes used.
Squirrel went to bed at around 5am, so I spent the time of YouTube watching my Watch Later Playlist that had been piling up, since I watch videos the first time through.
Everyone woke up at 7-8 when I was trying to carry some of our dirty dishes downstairs. We then watched Spirited Away on the DVD player (we wanted the player to a rest after all the work), Gravitation, then Spain and Squirrel tricked me and clean up everything while I was busy somewhere else. I swear, the house the cleaner than when they came!
So that was my weekend! I had gotten 2 books, a handful of balloons, and some carrot cake like from my last party! I'm going to eat the cake for dessert today!!! I can't wait!! Lat year it was so delicious, it was gone within the hour (we had accidentally gotten the wrong size of Schwartzwalder Kirschtorte [Black Forest Cherry Cake]).
I'll take pictures of the cake and post them later. I'll wait a few minutes then dig in!!!!!
Ya know the drill, ciao!

Holy Crap last minute rush!!

So I have 30 minutes till two o clock when my party starts and I already feel that last minute rush ya get when ya know time is ticking away and the only thought in your head is "I wish I could make a blog post." Really? How much of a blogging nerd do I have to be to think about that when I should be getting ready!?!?
*Sigh* At least I already got dressed up. Except my hair is *pooffy* like it always is when I first wake up. I need to run around my house now before I finish this post.

Where the hell did my bloody camera go!!??!! I mean really! There can't be that many places. And trying to rush around while being silent because the kraken is sleeping is harder than it seems!!

I found it. It's the miracle 10 minutes when everything falls into place. And I watch youtube videos instead of finishing up this post! My hair is less pooffy  now! And Ishy comes in less than a minute. He's going to be minute early.
And he's late!
Okay, so for those of you that are wondering (even though probably non of you are) I'm watching these video blogs from Katersoneseven off of youtube. I had to rewind for a bit because I forgot to watch them for a while and so much changed from that time I stopped to now. I'm not watching all the missed vlogs just some of them.

Oh he finally arrived.
Ciao for now, I don't want to blog throughout my party. I'm not that much of a blog nerd. Ja Matta!!!

My Birthday Party!

So my birthday party is tomorrow!! I invited six people, seven including myself.
People coming: Spain, Freshman, Squirrel, Ishy, Ash, and one I don't think I have talked about yet, but I should have.
Akira! My longest friend! I have known her for 11 years now, since we met in first grade. Ya know that person when you meet in Elementary school and you become instant friends? That's me and Akira! We consider each other twins since we were born on the same day (considering time differences) except I'm the older one by 8 hours. But she's the more mature one. And more outgoing one (Her hair colour changes every two months or so).
This is the first time I am having this odd assortment of friends at my party. This is the first time Freshman is coming to a party of mine, she has a lot to be worried about. Especially with this group of friends....None of the Gods in the world know what's going to happen.
I had decided early this year I may not want a theme for my party, but then found an idea I liked. Victorian Tea Party! I had a bunch of stuff planned but with AP Lit and Prom (and the stupid printer running out of ink) I couldn't plan it out that well. But either way, I can't wait to have another birthday party with my twin!
We've haven't had a party together for years, I think the last time was 3 or 4 years ago.
Anyway, Ciao for now! I'm on the last chapter of this manga and I'm about to ball my eyes out.

yay for my birthday

If I don't sound too enthusiastic, don't be surprised. Birthday didn't quick turn out the way I wanted.
I got home after the Perfect day at school, I was probably smiling the same amount as I did at Prom.
Came home, and decided I would only do a little bit online and spend the rest of the day reading, painting, and writing.
Now, it came to my attention (around 3:45) that my sis had made a reservation at a restaurant for 3 people. Apparently for my birthday...Don't remember asking for dinner, but okay then. Still a little later, my sis booted me off my own computer because her's wouldn't connect to the wifi. I stayed nearby and teased the cat since she said she would only need ten minutes. For some unknown-to-even-God reason, she asked about the SAT's and if I was practicing. Yeah, I had the two practice tests and I do several questions at school. And again, for this unknown-to-every-deity-ever-worshiped, she wanted to see these tests. Because she wanted to make sure I practiced.
"Why the hell would I need to practice? I got a 82% on the test."
"Yeah, that was probably with just the school."
"No, it was for all Juniors who took the PSAT. EIGHTY TWO PER-CENT!! I don't need to study. I don't have to be any higher."
"I got 97% and I still want to see all these tests {Let me  let you know, the tests were in the beginning of the years, like hell I know where they went}"
I had a minor bipolar attack where I just snapped enough to yell "It's my fucking birthday, it's my day to be selfish so stop talking about it!" I think I found a button that unleashed the Kraken.
"Well you never let me be selfish on my birthday, you haven't even gotten me a present for the last few years."
{I did get her a present both years. Last year it was just a little late cause I didn't have much money and finally found something she liked at the antique store a half a month later.}
Me yelling this back at her.
Then I don't even remember what happened, all I know was Usagi had snapped, big time. I remember running downstairs, banging on one wall as hard as I could with my right fist, running into my room, slamming the door as hard as I could, then screaming as loud as I could into a t shirt. After I stopped screaming and was just crying unstoppably, I had accidentally scratched my arm with my long nails I had grown for prom. I slipped into an over-sized happy shirt I love so much and started calming myself down by painting the random-est things ever. Today it was finishing the background for my water lily picture.
A little later after I had calmed down from the first outburst, I was still having something similar to aftershocks where I still cried, but nothing as violent. My mom came in, and even though it's harder to explain it in German, I was able to tell her I'm not going to the restaurant after being yelled at on my birthday.
To keep this kinda short, I was coaxed out of my room and was getting my coat from the other room when I hear my sis say {And she thought I was still in my room} "I can't take this anymore, I don't want to take her out if she does this each time."
"Thanks, nice to know I feel loved when I'm trying to save ya guys some money."
"Well fine then! Since I never seem to do anything right for you after I just wanted to take you out to dinner!" Storming off, she ran into her room with those fake crocodile tears that leave no trace after she stops crying {while my eyes are still red now}. Yelling and more yelling led to me being in the car, but completely silent.
 I was able to order food and everything with only few words, but the more I ate of the food, the more I felt control returning to my emotions without lashing out.

Now that was the story {paraphrased} how my perfect day at school was hell on earth at home. I will now state the reasons I had used that made everyone angry at me.

• It was my birthday and I wanted to spend it doing what I want, not stuff planned out for me.
• It wasn't even a restaurant I picked, it was my sis's favourite place it eat.
• Saving money sounded a lot better to me.
• The last time I had heard any word of this was last month, I didn't hear anything yesterday like they claimed

So that was it for what was supposed to be my day I was allowed to be selfish. Ya know the drill, ciao, whatever.

Best weekend, Part 2~!!!!!! With surprise picture!!!

So after the pile of pictures each parent wanted, I faced my first challenge. Getting into the truck that would take us to the park without my dress riding up. And the truck was sufficiently tall! So we went to the park (passing another prom party) and headed to the park. Nothing was there but after turning the truck around, our transportation arrived! And it was: A short bus! (Hey, it was cheap). So our whole group showed up and more pictures were taken (as everybody tried to smile with the sun in their eyes). And more pictures in front of the bus!
We all filed is (nearly died as the heat started getting to us) and headed off to get our dinner. Jack in the box! Nothing says prom as a short bus pulling into a fast food place and a bunch of people in dresses and tux's getting out for dinner. I think we caught quite a few looks and, of course, a few well wishes.
The highlight of dinner was Ash's boyfriend, Kimm, ordering a bacon milkshake (and it wasn't even on the menu). I filmed his first taste along with Ash's and Matt's (Em's boyfriend).
Before I go any further, Let me list all the people we had on the trip. Spain and Squirrel (both didn't have male dates), Em and Matt, Ash and Kimm, and myself and Ishy.
We loaded back on the bus (with Kimm being OCD about the time), and hunkered down for the not so long trip. My feet started hurting already so I spent some time fixing them so it's a little less painful. We finally arrived and waited in the line with other friends since it wasn't time yet (we had arrived about 10 minutes early, take that Kimm!). 
The gate opened and we had to walk even further up the hill to the table to get our ticket checked. We finally got the first view of the area. It was completely outside, with a covered area for the dancing, a area that served Italian sodas, and a coat check-in area. After noting that I was one of about 28 people that actually brought a mask (Spain left her's on the bus), I checked mine in with my bag. So Ishy, myself, and Squirrel stood around for a bit looking for people we knew, as Ishy already used the free ticket for his Italian Soda. It was pretty good too! Of course, once I saw the chocolate fondue machine, Squirrel and I spent some time there before it got crowded and before the cream puffs disappeared.
So we mostly danced with all of us dancing and hanging out outside when it got too hot under the tent. When it got time to leave thought, was the best part. We had all piled back into the bus when Kimm decided it would to great if we all opened the windows and chanted out "Our ride is better than your ride~". We did it for about two minutes then got bored. So we started singing Disney songs. After the first round of "I'll Make A Man Out Of You", I started filming, but everyone just kept messing up, so we gave up and instead I recorded Spain singing "I Wanna Be Like You" from Jungle Book. We made it back to the park and since it was close to my house, Squirrel, Ishy, and I started walking to my house. It was midnight and my feet were KILLING me!!!!!
But I think the whole night was completely and utterly worth it! It also made me kinda sad since it meant Spain and Mary are graduating, one heading to Switzerland!
But here is that picture I promised ya!
I've been saying for a while that I'll reveal myself for a while now, but haven't gotten around to it.
So here it is, the picture of our group in front of the short bus we were so proud of.

All of us (not in order of picture): Ash,  Em, Ishy, Kimm, Matt, Spain, Squirrel,  and Usagi (me!).
You could most likely guess which one is me by hairstyle and the description of the dress from
earlier.

You could think of it as a birthday present, since it's my birthday tomorrow!! Happy Birthday to me and ciao for now!!

Best Weekend Ever!!!!!! With Lots of Pictures!!!

I've been really getting behind with posts and there is a very good reason for that. Last Saturday, two days ago, was my Prom!!!!! So basically, Friday and all of Saturday was devoted to getting me ready (which is no small task with only a few bucks to spend and everything).
Friday, was spent on planning out the last details was our transportation since there was a lack of communication somewhere in the whole mess that was planning. So after missing my bus, I found Freshman, who had promised to do my hair. But she had forgotten her cutting scissors. So after promising to come around 12:30 to one, I went to go buy my mask (it was supposed to be a Masquerade Ball). Found one and spent the rest of the day trying to glue a stick on it (rules said it had to be hand-held. Reason why I couldn't use the one I made earlier).
Saturday, I woke up, realized I had forgotten to get a pair of shoes to match my dress. After washing my hair at noon, I spent the time waiting for Freshman by messaging Shortie and seeing if she had a pair I could borrow. That led to me running the three blocks down to her house with still wet hair to try on the few pairs she found. Then I ran/jogged back with an emergency pair in hand (since they didn't quite match the dress).
I had later found a pair of shoes kinda close to fitting, but at least they were black and closed toed. I had to put a napkin at the toe of each one so I could walk without them falling off.

Freshman finally came at around 3 with her basket of hair products in tow (just as I had finished making my lunch[which didn't burn or boil over!]). She trimmed my mass of hair a few inches and cut my bangs on either side of my face to equal lengths and equal amount of hair. She made me slip into my oh-so-epic-dress and started on the french braid bun idea from Hana Yori Dango (Boys over Flowers). Now we had done a practice run earlier than month in International Club. This was done in ten minutes with only two bobby pins, give her credit.
Now, My hair is really long (as you might be able to see in picture to the right) so it is really a pain in the ass to do anything to it. No other way to put it. So after two failed tries she finally got the bloody thing braided. It had changed from one braid to two french braids becoming one. She took a break from it to curl the bangs. Right before she started, she told me she had never used a curler before...Way to boost my confidence in her. She only barely burnt me twice, which is good for a novice.
Back to the bun we went. After twisting the braid in every which way and curling it around itself, then came the really painful part. Hair Pins. *cue dramatic music* Since it kept unraveling, she started getting angry at the bun. Angry Freshman and bobby pins do not mix. Whenever the pins had to be stuck in the bun to keep it on my head, the pins clawed against my head. It felt like my scalp was being stabbed with a knife or something.
Twenty pins later, it finally held together. I made her use more hairspray on my bun then we used on the curls on the bangs.
Hey look, another picture of me! And ya still can't tell who I am! Or who Freshman is! Haha! (I didn't plan that, I was just turning so she could get the side)
So she left at 5, leaving me little time to do make-up (I was supposed to meet the bus at the park nearby at around 5:20 or so). This left me little time to do any kind of make-up. Thank god I was in a play. Ya learn how to put on make-up really fast. Even though a year had past, I could still do a pretty basic smokey eye with my cheap make-up and mascara (which used to be a pain) was so simple now. I had just gotten on the lipstick and blush when the door bell rang. Ishy was slightly early. Rushing to put the last bits of make-up, I was finally ready with time to spare till Spain arrived.
Part 2 will be out in a few more minutes. Ciao till then!

Wheeee~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If ya can't tell, I've had an obsession with the little squiggles~.
Anyway, remember my post yesterday on Writer's Block? Well turns out the second problems for authors is not having enough ink in the printer.
Page 5: Perfectly fine. Page 4: Starting to fade. Me starting to pray. Page 3: Only those weird lines pages get. Page 2: Faded lines. Page 1: Faded parts of those faded lines. From two feet away it looks completely white.

Thank god the teacher accepted my excuse with the evidence present. I think I broke the record of turning on the computer, heading to Google Docs, and printing on the weird system the old computers have.

So that's about it. Not much else. Well, I did also go on a shopping trip with Squirrel but I'll save that for tomorrow.
Ya know the drill. Till next time.

Writer's Block......MEHHHHHHHHHHH

It's the bane of the world. What ever happened to the days where I came up with these great ideas while dreaming or while just zoning out? I mean, I haven't had a dream where I was in one of my stories for a while. And those dreams were so amazing! To write like when one has a dream. Characters that act so natural and plot-turns I would kill for now.......Ah. To sleep, perchance to dream. (Ahhh! The Shakespeare Curse still lives!)


Anyway, what led to this, is my homework assignment. As the chapter on poverty and education ends, the assignment (that I chose out of the many ideas he gave) was to write a story.
Write a story in first or second person that answers the three poverty questions listed above (what causes, what looks/feels like, how to solve [I kid you not, this is my teachers grammar on assignment]). 12pt, NTR, double-spaced, 2-4 pages. Include characters, setting, plot, solution.

Now I like starting stories. It's the end that kills ya. And the constraint of 4 pages! And to work with the instructions. You can't make a good story with all that listed and only have 4 pages. I've already cheated with the margins and with the double spacing (The intro is only 1.15 spaced) so I can't really do much else. I'm less than a paragraph from the end of page four. How in the hell am I supposed to fit it? It's harder than the 2000 word limit I had with the writing contest. Mostly because you have to answer the questions. You try doing that seamlessly in first-bloody-person. I feel like the teachers are out to just annoy me so much. I don't like him much either. His worksheets that he gives us really suck and his grammar is worse than a kindergartners.

Mehh~ I love this story and how I've done it in barely two pages (remember, double spaced). Why double spaced? It's completely useless. It's a waste of paper. Double-spaced. Pah! No real writer uses double-spaced (unless they are writing an essay they really hate, like in AP Euro).

I give up at it for now. Ciao, Ja matta, you know the drill.

Stupid counter lied to me!

It said I had 100 posts. No I had 99 posts with 1 draft.......
100TH POST!!!!!!
Yeah, read the last post for the bloody spiel I did.
Stupid counter thing. Misleading me like it did.
Nya, that's all for now. It's late, my hands are slightly singed from making rice balls, and I'm dead tired and not ready for tomorrow. I'm gonna kill A Doll's House. Stupid, blasted play. No wonder it was boycotted.

Yay, more changes!! aND lUCKY nUMBER 100!!!

My 100th post!!! A great day!! Not really considering the work that I still hafta due for school. But a milestone for any blogger!!! It's good to know that 100 posts ago, I made a commitment and a year later I'm still posting all about my life without revealing my name, face, or location (and it's not that easy). Hope I keep posting all about Usagi, recording great and fun days that happen to me, and remembering the days that everyone says "Are the best in your life". And here's to hoping I get more followers and more people have their moods lifted by reading the randomness that is my life. *kampai* ~ *cheers*
As you can tell, I have updated the little picture under the blog title once again!! This time, I left the same picture as I had earlier, but added more pictures that define Usagi!
Starting from the far left: 
It's KuroNeko! I took the picture with my iPod when he decided to sit on the computer.
Next, it's the moon on a day when I was walking home kinda late (it was summer). Looked up, aimed camera, *click*.

How long do you think this took? Answer: About half an hour on GIMP.

Second from the right, it's KuroNeko again. I was tired from a day of walking and taking pictures and was ready to nap on the couch. Just as I was about to sit down, I see a black cushion move. This meant I napped on the other couch.
Far top right: Taken last summer while hiking, I decided I will be the immature photographer when I saw my silhouette. Yes, that is me. I was standing weirdly on the uneven ground and that is a purse/bag thing on my hip.
Bottom far right: Taken on the same week as the one above, I was wandering and look up to see the path go on forever. Took the time to play with the settings on my camera. This was the best picture.
Kinda in the middle: The most recent picture. Taken on the day when Squirrel and I were walking back home from downtown. I took the shot in macro but can't really see it.
Kinda left: Saw the sign (last year I think) on a boardwalk. I loved it so much I took a picture of it. Makes me happy each time I look at it. Think: what happened before they put up the sign? And how it falling like that even possible?
I'm still working so you can see the blog description but Template won't let you change the font or the size. Anyone know how?
Ciao till later!
