Almost six am........Why?

I hate insomnia! I get it often during summer and it sucks!!!!! I want to sleep! I should be able to sleep! I have a week till school starts, why does my body hate me so freaking much that I can't sleep?! I mean, I was even able to fall asleep before three hours were up, but then, four hours later, I'm wide awake again. And somehow, my iPod had turned itself on.
*sigh* I can't even get comfortable enough to type this! Why cruel fate, must you tease me so when I have anime club in less than twelve hours! I normally sleep for twelve hours! Why today, when I have something to do later today.
*groan* worst part: when I'm up, I get hungry, so since I've been trying to sleep for a while (reading some very fluffy fanfics), my stomach thinks it's breakfast time......
Did I do something wrong? Some karma thing coming to get me? I've been good (mostly)! I even started watching tv again (which is healthier than being on the computer) and I'm finally using up the many balls of yarn I have had stashed away (even though I can only find two)!
I have cleaned out seven paper bags filled with stuff for the garage sake! That's huge in itself since I get very attached to my stuffed animals.
So why in hell's name do I have insomnia?! Nyaaa~ *rolls over in bed* ehhh....fate is so cruel....
Alright, I'll cut this post off now, before I keep rambling. So, good morning for some of you already, and wish me luck on trying to get a few more hours of sleep! .....Maybe I should have made me some Chamomile tea..... Anyway, Ciao for now!

iPod Update!! Just like a regular Blogger!

Ciao people! No, I have not vanished off the face of this earth. I'm alive, I'm well, and I'm still the same old Usagi just with the blogger app! I've done so much this summer without a computer and I've made some new decisions for this blog.
First off, I have made the decision to make weekly vlogs. Once I get my computer back, you'll be seeing quick, five minute weekly glimpses of my clubs, life and any other stuff I decide to film.
Once my computer is back, you'll hear about Haggis, meteor showers, issues with yarn (don't ask), and anything else I remember!
More pictures, more videos, more otaku moments, and more reviews!

So be ready!! o(^▽^)o Onward!

DAMN MY COMPUTER!!!!

Stupid piece of technology!!
So if any of you wonder why I'm not doing a post every week, now you know. My bloody desktop decided to hate me. It just won't work! I hate technology when it decides to stop working. So, if I don't blog that often, you know why. I might be able to do small posts if the computer is still not working when school starts,but I hope that's not the case. Please send your blessing/prayers to my computer in hopes it will start working again.
Hasta la Pasta for now!!

I'm really bad at blogging during the summer

Mostly due to the fact that I don't do that much during vacations. I sit here, hunt for food, and read.
But that brings me to something that I love: BOOKSTORES!!!!!!
And my favourite one in the world deserves recognition! It's called Banana Books, over in Long Beach Washington.
Now, if you ever find yourself up in Long Beach, and either it's bloody hot, or really cold, find your way over there. They have A/C, coffee, and Italian Sodas (Veeehh~....I had to). Every time I head up there, I try to find a new read among the shelves.
It's a used bookstore, but the books are not falling apart like library books. And the books there are actually pretty cheap! I got two books for less than $10. (Note: The first book was finished by the end of that day.)
I love little bookstores with all my heart! <3 The huge company bookstores, yeah, they have the newest books and best titles, but save the earth a bit! Buy some old books and help out those small local owners. Banana Books isn't a huge store, but they still have a ton of books! One section has the books organized on the floor since there were no more shelves. But other than that, most books are organized alphabetically by author!
So if you're ever in Long Beach, Washington, head over to that store! It's epic!

And since I'm in the mood to say it: Hasta la Pasta! (Yes, I have been watching a bit of Hetalia, problem?)

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!

MY NEW BIKE!!!!

And before you see any of the pictures, I get to have storytelling time!!
So me and my sis went over to the nearest Wal-Mart to go find a bike I would like. So after nearly getting lost in the store (Directions on sign=useless), I found the bikes and looked around at the different kinds. I wanted one with an actual hand brake, not those where you pedal backwards to brake. (My hand reacts faster than feet) Basically, after looking, my eye keeps drawing to the cranberry red one. It's not girly at all and has one of those things for the back to attach stuff to (Like my bag).
Again, after nearly getting lost (again) trying to find someone that works that could help us with the bike, a guy finally came so I was able to get my new 'child'. Then came the hardest part. Fitting an adult sized bike in a PT Cruiser.....With a very weak person and my sis. Took about 10 minutes and I did most of the work.
Driving back, paused to get blizzards (I love Mint Oreo!!!!!!), and then the second hardest part: Getting it out. I had half of it out before my sneaker started slipping on the bumper and it was either I fall or the bike falls. I chose to yell for sis.
Once it was out I decided to call to show my mom. She didn't take it too well as it was a guys style of bike. I of course didn't care and saw no difference what-so-ever. I won over in the end and took the next half hour looking for my hex key set so I could lower the seat a tad. I bought a hex key set 3-4 years ago so I could fix the handlebars on old bike.

 And here are the pictures!!! First one is my holding bike with one hand (I have learned art of iPod pictures with one hand). The colours are cranberry red, but a tad darker, and cream. It's a Schwinn, with 26' wheels. Seven gears, with handbrakes, and white-walled tires.

 Here you can see the seat, the owners manual (which no one looks through) and the back thing made for attaching stuff to back. As you saw in pic one and two, it has fenders, which hopefully helps with mud when I drive through the one orchard to get to downtown. The seat is red and white instead of the cream on the frame, but enough mud and dirt/dust will change the white to grey-ish.

Seat after it was lowered and the back thing (I'm going to call it that from now on). And the picture underneath is another look at the frame.

Ciao~

So now I have official reached a pinnacle of laziness...I don't even want to go downstairs to get my glasses. Thank Gods I know my keyboard so well! I mean, I used to be able to at least read my screen without having to squint, but now I can only look at the keyboard to make sure I'm typing it right. Yayz for only looking at the keyboard instead of the screen!!
Oh crap. I may need to go downstairs anyway. I'm hungry...I woke up late, meaning I get hungry faster. Food....
On another note, Spain has yet to release the first chapter of our collab on DA, and I keep checking it everyday for messages. I really want to see it and write my chapter on it!!
Third note: I'm getting my new bike today! No more bloody purple! No more broken brakes! Me so happy!! Maybe now I can ride my bike more and actually be able to pedal back up the hill without having to walk my bike. So at 16.30 (still on 24 hour clock, can't revert back!) I'll be trying to find my perfect bike.
Once I sell my old bike, my old scooter, and the inline skates, that's already half my new bike paid off. More Yayz for selling lots of cheap stuff for one expensive piece.
I might do another anime review later today. Since I did finish a lot of 11 episode animes a while back. Just need to remember their names. To my pile of Otaku USA! To search for the ads they had.
Ciao for now~!

After Live Event!!

So the event just ended after Lindsey Stirling not being able to shut down the live streaming. As the comments said "New awkward moment!" I think this is why you read instructions before hand. ^^;
Anyway, I'll leave you guys at peace for now, since I want to make it to episode 70 before going to sleep.

New news!!!
I'm getting a new bike Wednesday!! It's about bloody time!! The one I have now was my sis's old one and it was too small for me two years ago. The back breaks brunt out last year and now the front breaks are now failing. I'm not joking when I say the bike lock is more expensive than the bike itself.
And my new one won't be purple!!!!! Thank you Gods!!!!!! I'm so sick of the purple!!!! And there will actually be a place to put library books on the back or front. No more carrying it on my back!
I'm so excited!

That's it for now! I has pizza and Shugo Chara ready!! Ciao for now!

Yay! Mostly happy!

And I don't even know why!
I was in such a mood, that I was able to actually work and finish our (Ishy, Shortie, and mine) 'Memorial to Pedro' video. Now it's just a waiting game till the publishing to computer is done. Normally, when you click to publish it, it stops responding, and a few hours later, it finally lets you complete the publishing.
Now half an hour till the live chat with Lindsey Stirling! That means I have one  more episode I can watch of Shugo Chara! I haven't watched it in a while, but it's still the cutesy anime I love to watch on calm days! Not to mention that Spain gave me about 7 volumes of it!
A very good day today!!

I mIgHt GeT a BiT tOo CoMpEtItIvE!

Stupid spell checker, think it's wrong when it's on caps. So The Festival is now over! I tried taking some pictures, but the camera still spent a lot of time in my bag. ^^;
So basically, when Ishy finally woke up, he admitted I won with Fireworks! 2-0!
And today, we decided to play chess! I brought out my poor, neglected set, sat outside on pillows, got some chocolate, (my newest candle which smells amazing! I have it lit most of the day) and my iPod, in case I wanted some music. I didn't need the iPod though, since Ishy insisted that he does his accents during the second game.
First game went terrible for me. My Rooks and Bishops were killed quickly, and even though I got a second Queen, Ishy checkmated me!!
Second game, it's on!! Usagi will not back down!! I blocked every single of his tries and made sure to keep his attention on the battle nearest my King, while from behind enemy lines come a Rook sneaking up, Bye-Bye Queen!! I made sure to kill all of his pieces before checkmating him!
FINAL SCORE: 1-1. I have already challenged him for another game. I can't keep it at a tie!
At least I can win during 20 questions! And probably that one version of the alphabet game where you can only use Rivers, Lakes, and other Places. I love that game! No ever wants to play it....

On another note, SPAIN IS AWESOME!!! I talked with her for hours day before yesterday (so long my iPod was overheating and I still used it for 3 hours after it started being too hot to hold). I even watch the Opening Ceremonies with her. I held my camera on my Ipod up to the TV and she watched from Skype.  We talked about everything! And as such, we came up with the best idea evah! Spain and myself are doing a Collab on deviantArt!! (For those who don't know, Collabs are collaborations. You work on a project with another person) And of course, this collab is going to be a HetaliaXReader (meaning the reader puts herself in the story). We worked on the first part together and because I can't give away any hints, it's gonna be hard to describe this.
Basically, she wrote out the first part of part one, and we discussed how we want the story to go (while watching the Ceremony). She typed out the first part and read it to me while I edited it verbally. Poor Spain! She probably read that part so much! We talked about how the reader should act and how she could meet the other Characters from Hetalia. We decided that after the first part was up, we would not be able to talk about what should happen next. She types out one chapter and I type the next one! I can't wait!
So watch out DA! Spain and Usagi's collab is gonna be the best! Watch out for our HetaliaXReader: New Chapters!! (I came up with the name! Isn't it epic?!) It's all about the Reader going to the University of her choice (just like Spain), and meeting a whole bunch of different, yet nice, people that make her feel at home!
I can't wait to read Spain's work (I never have read any of her writings before) and I hope I can actually write a Fanfic...This will be my first try and I hafta do it or else I'll feel like I'm leaving my "wife" out there hanging. Chapter one should be up by tomorrow! I'll send you all a link, and those with accounts should comment on it. Because it will be awesome!!!

Ciao for now!! Myself and my newest batch of Thai Iced tea will be going now to sleep! (After a nice shower though!)

Second post in a few hours!

So I have put a few videos up here before. But I am proud of this one sitting in my "Subscribed" box.
I have been watching and listening to Lindsey Stirling for a while. I am sad to say, I won't be seeing her when she comes in the area next week, but it's fine, there's always next time!
This video was sitting in my inbox for a while, but with school, vacation coming up, I didn't have the time. And now I regret that. This is a talented artist, not bound by corporate recording labels, doing what she loves, the way she wants to.
You may have heard of her before if you spend time browsing YouTube. She has played Covers of songs  and I like her twists on the songs. Here is a taste of that, before the big video I wanted to share with you.

See what I mean? Better than that crap they play on the radio and the stuff always at the school dances *shudder*.
Do you like? This is the version on her channel, so look at some of her other stuff.
Lord Of The Rings, Zelda, even Skyrim, there's something for everyone. (Still want that dress that she has in the LOTR video!! It's so pretty~!!)
She did a Nicki Minaj cover too! I love her covers. I don't mean to be biased, but they are better, now shut up and deal with it.

And here is the big video that was sitting in my inbox, gathering dust, until I took my break off deviantART (oh yeah, I have an account on that place: usagi-hikari9), and changed songs on YouTube.
Here is Lindsey Stirling's We Found Love.
Please support her, she's got such epic talent and is a bit on the unknown side (I say a bit because she has over a million hits on multiple videos).
So enjoy!!!




P.S. Ishy fell asleep while it was his turn to guess again. Score for far: Usagi:1 Ishy:0 He had chosen Saber Tooth. But then he fell asleep. Partially my fault, I was reading Fanfics (Spain it is still your fault for making me get into them on DeviantART. Your fault! Chigi~!)

Tea! And not just any tea! And 20 questions with Ishy!

A Thai Iced Chai tea! In front of me right now!! I made it myself and have yet to taste it! Here we go! See if my mission was a success!!!
Kampai!!! Typing with one hand is difficult...

I am so close to achieving perfection. Next time, just a bit more sugar, and maybe I should buy coconut milk. Then, I would be able to make it......
So guys all have no idea how happy this just made me. Sigh!!!!!!! I may need to make more tomorrow...Or today!
But, the coconut milk is defiantly needed.

This night is going to be great. Playing 20 questions with Ishy, listening to Heather Dale's newest album, Akira got her dad to let her go to EA  (HELL YES), and I have tea next to me.
Sometimes, you don't need much to make someone happy. It's the simplest things that you will always remember and fall back upon when you have those dark days. It's those thought you have, when you want time to stop.
Yeah, the poet in me came out again.
 And it's cheesy, but Ishy is taking a while to think up questions. He'll never get it! The rules were only nouns, no actual people or anime people...But a ninja is a noun still. It's not an actual person or a single anime person. It's like a group of people. It still works!
This is making laugh! The Italic is me, normal is Ishy.

    You can see why I laughed. Ciao for tonight, It's my turn! And the font is yet again freaking out on me. 

Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaah~~~~

From my ranting post yesterday to the I'm-bored-and-have-no-clue-what-to-do-now post. Oh, I could check me email! Again! This was the tenth time today.
First, I'm waiting for a penpal email. Second, Akira is going to talk to her dad about a solution that came up (And people say ranting on the internet never helps).
I had an all night. I watched 3 anime series (Fractale, High School of the Dead, and No. 6), and one anime movie (King of Thorn).
Rating time!!!
Fractale gets a B-. Good story, but the ending kinda failed and seemed way too rushed.
HOTD: C-. I never liked zombie stuff and this is a classic example why. THE STUPID ENDINGS! Squirrels zombie Apocalypse dream had a better ending. And her ending was that I was the cure! (I'm not making it up)
No. 6: B+. I loved the whole story, plot was good for it only being 12 episodes, and so funny at the right parts. It made me cry, but just the right amount. Warning: It does have hints of yaoi. The only reason this doesn't get an A is because (again) the ending. At least give us a freaking epilogue or something!
King of Thorn: A!! Great movie, almost no crying, a bit confusing, but perfect remix of Sleeping Beauty. And the ending song was perfect! The last shots of the movie ya see (Before and after credits) actually inspired a new poem out of me!

K still bored.....It's too damn hot!! At least if it's cold you can put on a sweater or something. But with heat, it's deadly! And no A/C!!!!!!!!!!!      And bored~~. I already bugged the cat. Too damn hot!!! I even made ice tea (which was really bitter)!
Ciao for now.....Nyeh...

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'M BACK!!!!!!~~~~

USAGI CHAN IS BACK!!!
Raise your hand if you missed me!!.......Anyone?......Raise your hand!......Hello? Anyone out there?
Okay....
Sorry that I hadn't posted yet. I wasn't able to be at my computer till today! Actually, yesterday. But that was spent on unpacking and organizing my hoard of chocolate!!
And of course today was making sure everything was okay on Facebook and email. Then, of course, I went to hang out with Ishy. Spent the time playing Final Fantasy X, because he still hasn't gotten Soul Caliber back....(but might get it soon). I'm still getting the hang of FF, since I can't really button mash like fighting games. Or do my favourite: Just keep kicking! (Oh, it made Chia so mad)
Anyway, I haven't yet uploaded my pictures to my computer or I would post a few.
Half of summer is already over, and the Old Fashioned Festival is this weekend (highlight of the summer if you ever visit my town)! It"s always the best weekend with rides, parades, and a bunch of stalls for cheap shopping! And the Saturday always has a grand fireworks display that you can hear from anywhere in the town and everyone comes to visit/view (except when you leave, the Christians are always preaching at the road near the exit of the field- be wary of them)!
Anime Club meeting is tomorrow too. I get to meet everybody I missed! Travelling has it's perks, but coming back to all your friends is the best! Unless two of them are going to University in the fall. That's Spain and Squirrel. I'm still going to spend a week with Spain filming our video with Hetalia Romano and Espana.  I can"t wait to try on my Romano costume again! It's actually pretty basic, she made a pink shirt and the apron with matching head scarf thing. I only have the head scarf in my possession, she keeps the rest for alterations. It's so I can practice having the curl and being in character (I'm more used to being Veneziano than Romano)! If my fellow readers here are very good, I may just post the video up here as well as on YouTube.

More news: Some of you may recall that two years ago, I lost the chance to go see Emilie Autumn in concert. This year, it's different! THAT'S RIGHT THIS YEAR I'M GOING!!! Me and my "twin" (who I've known for 10 years now and is my oldest friend), Akira are already planning to buy tickets by Wednesday since the Very Important Plague Rats package looks sold out, so we're trying to get at least the Tea And Crumpets package. It's on a Saturday, meaning we won't have to sacrifice school, and I get to have a sleepover with Akira again! Yayz!

So ciao for now!
