May I vent to you Guys?

I know I haven't talked in a while, and this time, it's in bad tidings. As I type, I'm actually crying. And this is the fucking reason I hate living with my family.

I had just gotten off the phone with Squirrel (She needed a friend, and I was the first person she thought of) when my mom came upstairs. She (in her already raised voice) started talking about my low grades. Now, most of you know that I do have ADHD, but what you don't know, is that I am supposed to take medication for it. But because my doctor retired, and we couldn't find a replacement for him, I have no way to get my prescription  so I've been trying to save all my pills to take when I really need them. That means that I had been having focusing problems again, hence low grades.
But now, apparently my mom decided my Senior Year is a good time to start punishing me for my grades. Really?! Senior Year?! I'm under freaking house arrest?! Great planning there, because I promised I would go to Ishy's house and then have my hair cut by Sophomore!

That led to a land-freaking-mine. Apparently, she hated how my hair looked last time Sophomore cut it. She screamed, and I fucking quote, "It looked terrible and it kept getting in your face. It is supposed to be long in front. Short hair is ugly."
Well I didn't know that my hairstyle has to be the way you like it. IT'S MY FUCKING HAIR AND I'LL DO WHAT EVER THE HELL I WANT!!! I loved the way it looked, it was perfect and I got so many compliments and so many people said how beautiful I looked. Thank you so much, mother, for helping out my low self esteem. So all those compliments mean nothing because you didn't like it?

WELL FUCK THE HELL OFF!
You're lucky I didn't chop all my hair off the last time I had a panic attack that was caused by you! Did I mention most of my attacks are caused by you, mother dear?
 She's lucky I didn't start freaking out again, since one of the few people that can calm me down is unavailable to be reached. I mean, I've always been able to raise my grades by the time reports came out. And at least I'm freaking honest about it.....

Why the hell do I have to be cursed with this? Why me. Why does he have to be working right now when I really need someone to talk with? I mean, I don't care what my mom says, I'm going to visit him anyways, but I want to talk with him. I don't want to freaking out, I want to be calmed down again! I want to be calm!

This is what I get

This is the last time I'm reading any of Spain's fanfic recommendations! Because this was the saddest RomanoxReader I have ever read! And I read a lot!
I had hoped this fanfic would be a nice, happy, RomanoxReader (Note: I am talking about Romano/Lovino from Hetalia). I had read halfway and had saved the rest for a day I would need cheering up, due to the fact I thought this was going to be a BLOODY HAPPY STORY!!!!!! *SIGH* So glad I decided to read it today, when I was just killing time. But to all the Gods above, why take it out on Romano?! He's a good guy (way underneath), and in fanfic, it would've been a lot better if he survived than Spain (Sorry, Spain, but in this story, he was a jerk) {I call my friend Spain because she cosplays as the Spain from Hetalia, I know that last part got confusing[Hetalia in a nutshell: All the countries have a human representative]}
Damnit, it was a good story until Romano had to die. I'm not a fan for EnglandxReaders, but I can slightly stand them; still, why kill the one that curses a lot?
I should calm down. It's not my story, it's the author's. Be calm, be calm. I just hate people killing off characters that the "Reader" falls in love with. Like the CanadaxReader where I actually had to take a break from reading to calm down how much I balling! Movies don't make me cry at all (That Japanese one was an exception), books make me cry only if I really like the book (Only one book has done that, title escapes me), and mostly fanfics only get a tear or two. Not like this one or the previously mentioned CanadaxReader.
First you kill off the cute, invisible Canada, now my favourite character. What's next, Prussia?........I know what's gonna happen now. I'll start reading PrussiaxReader and he's gonna die.
Life of an Otaku is so hard when you get into the characters. *sigh*

PS: Didja notice I changed my picture on here? I made it myself on the most glitchy program for the iPod. I made it as close as I could to how I look in real life, including my favourite (most awesome) hat (in the world), my awesome boots, glasses, hair (how my Sophomore would love to style it), even my iPod that is with me at all times. The magic wand is an inside joke, I can't even tell you with who since it's so many inside jokes wrapped around each other with so many people.

Anyway, Ciao~ for now!

Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid!!!!!

It's so not fair! It's not fair! IT'S NOT IT'S NOT IT'S NOT!!!
Just when I get the go ahead, Akira said her dad isn't letting her! We met his requirements from last time- transportation and problem with the overnight! And now we solved it all and he says she can't go!
It's not fair! She's supposed to go with me! My first ever concert and she's supposed to come with me! She's my twin. She's always done everything with me. She introduced my to EA, she helped me pass freaking AP Euro for Gods' sake, and we even plan our birthdays to work with the other's! I can't go without her to the concert. I wouldn't be able to fun without her next to me!
It's just so STUPID AND UNFAIR! I took self defense and she was in Wrestling in Middle school! She made guys twice her size cry (more than once)! I don't see the reasoning! She's almost never done anything wrong, she has almost perfect GPA, GSA president, Theatre Tech, Pep band, and she's going to an Ivy League school! And you won't let her go to a concert?! That is BULL SHIT IF I EVER HEARD IT!

I'm just so bloody mad at him right now. This Emilie Autumn concert was supposed to be the highlight of our last year together. And now it's gone. Just like Sakura-con, just like Kumori-con, and just like Spain and Squirrel.
I hope you're happy. I really do. I hope that you are happy that you won't let your daughter see one of her biggest idols that has inspired her so much. I hope you're happy that you made one of her friends, that she has known for ten years, get so mad, she started crying. I hope you are so proud of yourself. You really don't know how many profanities I could scream at you right now. I could do and say so much!
But I think it won't help at all. Mostly since I would probably not be brave enough to do it to you in real life.

I have such epic skill!

I guess everyone has one skill that makes up for one fault. My Oh-so-amazing coordination has for its' counterpart, my packing skill!
You try fitting 5 weeks of clothes into a bag small enough that I can use for carry-on. And there was enough room to fit a book and my swim goggles (just cause I can).
I love having my great ability to pack efficiently. Makes things so much easier...If only I could do that with my actual room....
I haven't blogged much lately due to the fact I have gotten sick (I'm not an idiot now! [Idiots can't get sick]). It's been like a week now, so my voice is nearly back to normal! I can annoy people again! I still have a stupid stuffed noise and a bit of a cough. Hopefully it gets better by Friday. Nothing is worse than travelling while sick. Mostly cause people get mad if you're coughing in an airplane (if they yell at me now though, I'm arguing back). I'm typing this during Sociology since we kinda finished our final and we have nothing else to do (Even though I'd much rather go back to the classroom and watch the soccer (football) game between Russia and Poland (Hetalia fans: squeal now). I mean it was tied and there were two close goals already! Much better than the game that was on last class, the Russia versus Czetch Republic (I think that was it). Russia sorta killed them (Hetalia: Keep squealing).
So that's about it.
Oh, wait! Since I am going to Austria, I may make a video blog post or two. I did something like that while I was at camp for myself, but maybe I can put them on here. Then I can type less.
(I was distracted by the guy next to me watching game-plays of the latest video games. He's a nerd. He already admitted it, so I'm not insulting him.)
Anyway, I'll still have to think if I want you few people that read my blog to have my actual face and voice for the world to hear. I mean, I don't want you to know where I am at this moment, and the point of Usagi Hikari is that you don't know who I am (that one picture during prom was the exception).
I better go back to writing before the gamer next to me distracts me again. So Ja ne! I only got a half hour left!

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!

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.

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!

Meet My Friends!!!

I do talk often about my friends and sometime I have used different nicknames for each one. Here I will straighten everything out and even give some background on them. Time to meet my Oh-So-Crazy-Friends.

Squirrel
(AKA Mary) She is probably the weirdest person you will ever meet and has the power to make you insane after two minutes alone with her. A year older than myself I met her at the beginning of my high school career. Probably one the greater art talents I have met, she has the power to lift everyone's mood, as well as the easiest person to cheer up. Knows sign language pretty well and is determined to teach me. We have made up our own language of purring and (what I can only describe as) warbles that annoys so many people. My partner-in-crime very often and we both have the weirdest ideas. By the way, she is called Squirrel due to her obsession with the cute little things and her training them to throw pine cones at people (Kept me awake half the night when I went to the camp). There has also been the rumor that she sold half her soul to the squirrels. Another odd habit of hers is that she loves mud puddles, rain puddles, or storms that include lightening and hail. She has switched buses earlier this year since hers was way too crowded and now rides with me. This time has become the time when she teaches me sign language.
Quotes from her include: How old are you? "Two." ~~ "There was one tree in that town. And it was dead!"

Spain
I call her by the name that brought us together. Hetalia. Anime Club got us closer as well as her sharing Otaku USA with me. She is in the same grade as Squirrel and as such is going to college in Switzerland. I almost didn't want her to go. A hardworking high schooler by day, an anime freak and threat to sanity by night. Even though I have only known her for two years or so, never has any Otaku been any closer, from thinking of our own fan scenarios (If Spain and Romano have a child), to actually acting out those scenarios (Uh, yeah, Spain became a woman and has my children More on that later). Also a really great artist, but more with Photoshop and anime-style art.
Quotes from her: "It doesn't bend that way!"(After I popped her wrist) ~~ This is my wife. "This is my Husband." (Hetalia Fans squeal in joy)

Freshman
Oh, how the stadium mile can bring random strangers together (stadium mile is where at each lap you have to go up and down each row of stairs). While oxygen deprived, I start spewing random facts I know to keep me focused on something other than the pain. I had lost Em around the second lap when I realized a freshman had fallen in step next to me. I talked a bit as did she. Not two minutes past and we were comparing mangas we had read, cursing at the substitute, and basically best friends already. We learned more and more about each other and soon she had become my official Freshman. Now I have let her cut my hair and she will be my stylist for Prom. We have gotten so close that, in fact (remember the story of Spain having kids), she has become my "child". Of course Spain's child was officially a boy, so my Freshman is "my son". I help her out in classes to take, kicking her ex-boyfriends butt, and just having fun in the clubs she follows me to.
Quotes from her: "I like mom more." ~~ "Wha! Wha! Whatcha!"

Shortie
(AKA Bridget) I don't even remember how I met her. It was in the freshman year and it slowly grew as we were put in the same Advisory. She rides horses (One paint and one Arabian) and is on the High School Equestrian Team. She is the most stubborn person and is sometimes less mature than the two year old that trains squirrels. A child in and out, when she is in an arena or teaching someone (mostly me) about horses, a seriousness that normally isn't there shows up. She wants me to learn trail riding on her paint, Darby, before summer hits. This is mostly due to the fact that her Arabian, Starbuck, is a little princess that doesn't like mud puddles. She is pretty open with me and recently moved into my neighborhood, making her the first friend from high school within ten minutes walking distance (Two if you run like hell). She's honest with no tact what-so-ever! No bloody tact! It made me hit the desk with my head in the middle of class a few times.
Quotes from her: "You have nothing outward! Nothing up front." ~~ "Yeah, I think this could be considered horse abuse."


That's it for now! I may do another one of these later with other friends. These are just the ones I talk about the most. I will edit this every now and then if I remember more stuff. So ciao for now!!

Nyan nyan, nyan nyan!

No it's not the freaking nyancat. It's the original annoying nyan! Look up nyan nyan Macross Frontier. It's the best commercial for a non-real place ever!
Anyway, I'm posting this because I'm bored and I want to look like I'm actually doing something so I don't get yelled at. Stupid upcoming SAT's. They just keep repeating the same things I have heard several times now! Sheesh. And they wonder why I get headaches when I get home.
I actually have some stuff to post about today.
Clubs!!!
Since I have had headaches, I haven't been going to Self Defense Club that often since the Women's Self Defense Class. So no real progress there.
But in Anime Club! We finished Blue Exorcist, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and now (per Squirrels request), we are watching the classic Hiyao Miyazaki: Howl's Moving Castle!! She read the book (And let me borrow it) so she's been wanting to watch the movie.
International Club: After our Carnival/Faschings Party, next we have our May Day/Cinco de Mayo/Beltaine Festival! We call it the May Day/Cinco de Mayo cause we are celebrating on the 3rd of May, right in between May Day and Cinco de Mayo. And I wanted to add the Beltaine part in cause I like the way it sounds. Lately though, the club members are really immature and just like anime club a year ago (It was bad enough that the president decided it wasn't worth it and quit). It just makes me so angry sometimes I feel like I wanted to scream and just let myself have another attack. The days where I looked forward to International Club are slowly slipping away.
Good thing was that I was able to get myself out of a tight spot using Squirrel's Freshman. There was an arguement with music choices so I was really glad I made Rule #9: Person in charge of the music atlernates each week. That freshman also likes Japanese music (Thank Gods for that Otaku). He also decided to join me when I wanted to get an ice cream from the vending machine since I was better company than the loud club members. Strange Freshman, that one is. Still, not stranger than most people I know.

I guess that's it. Oh wait one more!
For my 'early' birthday present (there is an annoying smudge in my computer), it has been decided that on the 4th, Cirque du Solei is performing OVO, and I will be seeing it! Can't wait till I get to skip Sociology. And some of lunch, but I'd rather have something else then what the school normally serves (no offense to the lady who knows I don't eat beef and the cheese they have). 
Ciao for now! I'm gonna be busy with looking through my camera-happy friend's pictures and avoiding the photo assassin in this house (It always goes like this before heading to Europe). Ja ne!!

RaWrAwRaWr (Just a bit bored)

So the day has finally been reached. I thought it would happen.
This blog has finally reached more posts than my Poet Anonymous.
I started Poets a while before this one but this one seems to be more exciting. Don't know how, it's just mundane occurrences and stuff that happens. And other random crap I find inside my mind....Is my mind that interesting? Huh....
But even though Mind has reached more posts, I think the number of views are still higher.
Oh well, random stuff is easier to type out anyway.
But in the next few weeks, my first blog novel is coming out- Erased Out. Hope that raises the number of posts for Poets.
That's it for today. Where I live has gone on Mother Nature's Hit List lately. First it snows and hails, next week it's slightly warm, then back to middle of winter, back to slightly warm with more rain than the freaking rain forest, and finally hotter than summer.
Mother Nature hates this town.
And I'm about to die of heatstroke in my un-air-conditioned house. (The computer is on the second floor and it's freaking hot!!!!) I'll be getting off to find the ice cream in the glory known as the fridge.
Ciao! Ja Ne! (More informal version of Ja Matta)

So many choices of tea!!

I have in front of me now 4 types of tea. Two full leaf black teas, one full leaf green tea, and one full leaf white tea. The problem is I don't know which one to have.
Since it's nearly 4, I shouldn't be drinking black tea since it normally has more caffeine. But the green and white tea needs to be steeped at a particular temperature.
Four teas. One tea obsessed person. So many problems.
If I over-steep the black tea (which does happen), it'll get too bitter. But the white tea is so bloody picky. So many problems.................
..................Nyaaa~..........Aww, I finished the whole Taiko drumming CD again.........
 Caution: Spending too much time trying to figure out which tea you want will make you go insane.
Why did I have to get 4 choices at once? It's like the world is playing a sick joke on me.
............................
Okay, I have reached my limit. I have no where else to turn. Desperate times call for the most desperate measures (Hey, the heater turned on).
It is time. To ask my sister.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now she was no help!!! Didn't even give me a way to choose. This is why you never ask for her help.
Now I'm still left with this stupid problem!! And I'm still freezing even though the heater is on!!!
.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.'.
I feel like I have been beaten by tea. At least I have narrowed it down to two. The white and the green.
[][][][]{}{}{}{}{}
Alright!! I have it! It shall be the Full Leaf White Tea! Mostly cause I saw it says Chamomile in the ingredients and I would rather like to sleep at night. I drink Chamomile tea before I go to bed everyday.
So white tea has won. Now I need to find that thermometer to make sure I do this right.
Be right back at the keyboard.
So, it has this odd smell. There is the normal tea leaves smell, but underneath. It's hard to describe. Not unpleasant, but also not pleasant. Wow. It's hard to find something that smells like it. It's not the Egyptian Chamomile, nor the Chinese white full leaf tea. It could be the Chinese Osmanthus flower. Hmmm. I'll have to wait a bit since it would burn my mouth at this point.
So this review will be on the Steven Smith Tea-maker Blend: No. 72. It's name is the White Petal.
Update: It's cooled down enough so what does it taste like? That odd smell doesn't transfer into a taste, which is good. I can taste out the chamomile and the white tea leaves fine. Oh, I tasted a bit of that osmanthus flower. Not bad but unique.
Review? Not something I would brag about to all my tea-loving friends, but still very nice. It's smooth and has no bad aftertaste.
Grade? About a B-

Camellia Festival! Day Well Spent!

Completely well spent! So worth getting up at 8 and nearly dying of starvation on the walk back!
So, I was supposed to have met Spain but she still hadn't gotten her grades up so I was standing around for a few minutes trying to hone in on someone I know and can follow. I saw Tiff's boyfriend and followed him to where Tiff was sitting with Mandy. And they had saved a seat for the (get ready for spazzing) Taiko Drumming I was so looking forward to. God, I LOVED IT!!! I had read a manga on Taiko before and have been interested in it since, but this was my first live performance. Mere words cannot describe it! I had filmed the whole thing, but I forgot I was holding the camera and had started clapping as the camera falls in my lap. Epic. Just Epic. I filmed all of it, but here is the first part. You hear Mandy talk with Tiff near the end as I was fiddling how to press the 'end record' button.
I hope the video works, if not, I'll fiddle with it later.
I also bought a Taiko CD. Best ten bucks spent! Already have it in my iTunes.
So afterwards, I had gone back to the lobby of the building and glanced around. Tiff and Mandy had gone separate ways with their boyfriends and the third wheel whose boyfriend was busy didn't want to follow them.
I stood in the lobby watching some people practice calligraphy. Something made me turn around and all of a sudden, Squirrel was next to me. She's a ninja.
So we waited a few few minutes by watching and finally decided to try our hand. After the demonstration, I decided to try to write, what else, but, Usagi Hikari. She made it look so bloody easy...It's not. *Sigh* After practicing for a long time (and having Squirrel show off since she didn't pick one thing, no, she tried several different characters, including mine), I finally got it the best as I can for the final copy. After storing my copy away in the newspaper, I also got another paper with something that represents hard working, keep trying, the person there couldn't think of the word in English. It was really pretty too! Much better than my try at my name. (I'll get the pictures up soon)
Afterwards, Squirrel saw that there was a pottery event going on right before the tea ceremony. She dragged me along to the ceramic room. The volunteer there was actually my neighbor. This is what you get for living in a small town. Squirrel immediately helped him along so she could work on the wheel with red clay (I sat at the table looking over the stuff to do and chatted with Mandy, who had shown up). She made a bowl pretty quick and cleaned up her space and the one next to her while the demonstration was going on.
We quickly rushed back to the stage for the Tea Ceremony demo. There I found Tiff's boyfriend's little brother, AKA Squirrel's Freshman. Seating next to him, we settled in for the demo. Of course, we weren't expecting for them to ask for volunteers. Cue the last three people in the front row nearly jump out of their seats, raising their hands. Freshman had gotten picked along with another person from the other side of the audience. Before they started, Squirrel and I glared at him for a good minute before I started filming. Of course, I missed a bit since my camera decided that the batteries needed to be changed.

So afterwards, back we went to check on Squirrel's clay bowl (wasn't ready yet) before me showing off my origami skills and us rushing back to the stage to get a front row seat for the second Taiko drumming performance. While they were setting up, I had noticed that I had only about 30 minutes of video left. Cue me cursing inside. I cheated with filming so I still got all the songs and after only had 5 minutes left. So this was, at least I thought, one of the cooler parts of the performance.
Since this was the last performance of the day, Squirrel and I started heading back towards our houses, since we live in the same direction. Since I hadn't had anything to eat since morning (around 10 and now it was 3-4), my bag started to feel heavy and I started complaining about food. Then Squirrel started whistling. I stopped complaining about being hungry and started yelling at her over the cars going by. There was a nice quiet for a few moments, then she started whistling "It's A Small World". I was about to kill her. Good thing we were at the point where we part ways. I grabbed my calligraphy rice paper from her and have been working on blog posts since then. Remind me never to sit cross-legged while doing blog posts. I sit for too long.
Observant reader might be going "Wait, what about Squirrel's clay bowl?" Well it wasn't dry enough for her to add a foot to it or to clean the bottom. So we left it there, where it will be fixed and fired, then someone will call her when it's done. I for one, can't wait to see it.
So that was my oh so great day! I have been listening to the Taiko Drumming and watching my Korean Drama. I will finish this one. I have not finished one yet since each episode is over an hour long.
So Ja Matta for now!

So Here's my Story of the..... Phantom Bunny!!!

Not joking. This isn't an April Fool's joke. I'm telling it exactly as it happened.
So yesterday I was colouring eggs with my step-mom and two of her friends. (The Asylum Eggs will be posted next week) Since this was for Easter we talked about everything including bunnies.
It was around 11 when we finished all the eggs (There were a lot. Trust me). We walked outside when my step-mom stopped and made me look to the side about, maybe ten feet, away from where the car was.
Now bear in mind, this is nearly the middle of a city! Like suburbia.
So ten feet away was this perfect silhouette of a sitting bunny. So perfect and just staring at us, I thought it was a statue. There was only a street lamp behind it so it could have been fake by the way it was just sitting there. So after like ten seconds, it started giving me the creeps. My dad takes a few steps towards it and it actually was alive! It hopped a few feet back and I saw it was a young bunny, maybe a pet. Still, the way it was just staring at us, felt so weird.
So yeah. That bunny is like an evil demented rabbit or something like Bunnycula. But now, I shall dub it the Phantom Bunny. Yeah, I have my weird moments but I swear on my love for the fluffy balls of fur, I did not make this up. Phantom Bunny was actually seen and I pray it lives a healthy life without getting ran over by a car.
And I also pray I get better nights sleep without thinking about the Phantom Bunny cause I want to sleep for school tomorrow.
So that is all for now! Ja Matta!
Wow, I didn't say ciao...Ciao! Ja Matta!

Updated The Look of my blog

Since I was bored with just putting more songs on my iPod, I decided to mess with the look of my blog. I think it did work with no problems so far. Just to make things clear now, I did take the picture at the title. I took nearly 50 similar ones. It was one day after club sometime in December around 4:00.
That reminds me, I should get the other pictures I've been promising to put up. Yay, new post on the same day! Haven't had that for a while!

Back from My corner Of Mourning

What is this? What is this round yellow thing in the sky? It gives off beautiful warmth, yet hurts to look at.
I am back from the abyss known as Sakura-con mourning. Sigh....Anyway, I should update....If I could....my cat is on my lap. Heavy cat!!!! He is on my lap/legs doing that kneading thing with his claws digging into my knees.
Ah! Sweet freedom! So what to write about other than school, since I did finish all projects (I feel like teachers actually call each other to make sure everything is due at once).
I talked with my cousin today! She messaged me and we chatted for a bit over me coming over in the summer. She's already 14! Enough to even make me feel old. Can't wait for this summer!! Need something to look forward to.
Oh! I got a penpal I write to. I need to send her letter off today. Promised to do it on Wednesday. She's from South Korea and asked if I wanted to send snail mail back and forth. Then the one from California. I like writing snail mail so much, except my hand is getting writer's cramp much more often. I hope they get their letter's soon. Makes me excited!
So what else? I still have two weeks till I see if I win a writing contest I entered in February. It's such an agonizing wait! I entered three poems and my first completed short story. This is the first time I actually entered in a writing contest so I'm really nervous and anxious. I want to know the results now!!
Anything else I should update everybody on....I could tell everybody the results of my lovely survey (Two bloody hours of walking) but I'm too lazy at the moment.
Besides, there are unguarded cookies downstairs and who knows who long it is until the next guard changes! Onward! Forwards to our goal! For The Cookies! Ciao for now!

Wow really?

So a website that Survivorgrrrl (Now called JuneDecember) uses to make all the pictures for her fashion blog is shutting down so I decided it might be fun to dress up some of my characters for newer ideas. I was creating Medusa, a character whom I love to bits because she is awesome, when I realized I forgot what I would always imagine her in. I tried to bring all the character ideas back into my head but they kinda all vanished!
Why is that?! I now Realized I never really imagined out the costumes for characters unless it is a short story or the dress in described in the story. So in FDTR, where the story is more modern and I never really thought about the outfits past the school uniform, everything just vanished!.....*sigh* I really hate my mind sometimes...I'll try to at least bring back Medusa and the school uniforms back. Please hold while I smack my head.
Pictures will be up shortly.
Oh and another thing. When I click the jeans button, I'm looking for normal, comfy to wear jeans. Not skinny jeans, or ripped jeans, or jeans that had God-knows-what happen to them. Just normal jeans. Is that too much to ask? Didn't think so!

~Nehhhhhhh~ Sakura-con envy!!!!!!

Because of me being in my very lethargic state lately, I've been surfing the internet much more than normal because I'm getting far more bored with thing. So while looking through the Sakura-con website (for the....100th time), I found out about the Masquerade Ball. Cue me squealing in joy. (New fact about me: I love masquerade balls and big fuffy [yes spelled correctly. Fuffy.] dresses from the Victorian age and beyond). So after discovering oil paints are the new bane of the world, I'll be making a new mask. This time: With acrylics!! I'm so glad I have artist friends who trust me enough that they let me borrow paints at the drop of a hat.
I'm a little over halfway to my Sakura-con goal money thanks to Christmas presents (I know you're reading this and you know who you are). My sis did some basic math a few days ago while waiting outside Barnes and Nobles and said that all together (with the price Spain gave me for hotel and ticket) so I know how much I need with food costs and spending money.
So I found more manga so now I leave ya. And by the by, if anyone who is reading this is also heading to Sakura-con, you get extra points if you can find me when I'm over there!

Ehhhhh Post

I was trying to work on this one story I had this weird idea for. Since I had to look for guy names (which I hate since it's hard finding the right one) I decided to go with Latin or Roman name. Here is what went through my mind as a writer.
Don't like that name...Why do they all sound girly to me.. Don't like that one, or that one....*scrolls randomly down half the page* *sigh* what is with all these names?.....Wonder how many pages there are? *Looks at bottom at page* Six pages? *Audible groan* Why did I pick this one? *Head falls hard on desk* Ow!!!
Now I have a headache on top of getting over my weird cold thingy. Oh yeah, that's why I haven't made many posts lately. I haven't been able to talk thanks to Spain's weird tea thing. I don't believe I actually posted the story of how I got sick yet...Oh well, better do that tomorrow.
