Despite all my stress (which is compounding as time goes on VERY QUICKLY), here's proof that I smiled today.


_{Just forget that in the next pic, Rebecca and me were snarling at each other XD;.}

I'm proud of that, and will continue to show my nikoniko face to the world as much as possible, despite the blargh'ness! *ganbatte's onward*

Yay, I got a haircut today! It looks very bowl-like at the moment, but that's just because the hair lady blow-dried my hair for 10 minutes, to give it that perfect balloon shape XD. All I have to say is at least it isn't shaggy and in my eyes anymore. The color looks rather gray in this pic o.O;, but it's really washed-out black over brown at the moment (which translates to yuck in pictures, I suppose XD).

Tomorrow I'm heading out to Springfield with Noa, at 10:30am sharp. Japanese food and mall ambling are on our schedule, although we'll probably find something else to occupy ourselves with also. It's the first time I've left my parents' house since spring break started, I do believe ^^;;;. It's a bit sad how at ease I am with being cooped up this week... at long as I have my computer, and don't have to touch homework, I'm happy... (although I really need to get to crackin' on some assignments really soong ^^; ). There very may never be an entire week like this again in my life after graduation, where I just can flomp down and do whatever, so I'm just trying to have fun ^^. A fun, fairly uneventful week, it seems XD;.

I put my hair through one last dying trauma for awhile (I've dyed it neon red twice since school started, BAD M!), and had Noa dye it black today. Plus I got all my hair cut pretty short yesterday, so I'm a completely new M at the moment XD;. Yay for change! I dunno if my hair looks GOOD, per say, but I always like it when it's black ^o^.

I went to the International Club Halloween Dance for awhile tonight... it was pretty fun. I got to take my fairy wings I bought for a test drive, and they grooved pretty well. I only stayed at the dance for about an hour and a half though, since I have so much homework to do. While I was there though, Whitney forced me to dance and dance and dance... he's so much fun XD;. I haven't danced much since high school, so I was pretty horrible, but every time I stopped dancing and just stood there, he started dancing dirtily with my prone body. That would usually start me shuffling my feet badly with the music once again, and keep me motivated to keep on dancing in my dorky way XD;.

Note: Noa and Rebecca just got back from the dance, and told me a girl dressed up as a Playboy bunny accidentally caught her fluffy bunny ears on fire, when she was dancing too close to a candle XD;. I kinda wished I could've seen that, but I can get a pretty good visual image of that happening anyway, so it's okay XD;.

OKAYZ, now back to trying to hash out part of one of my papers due on Tuesday next week. *woes*

I COMMEMORATE MY ONE AND ONLY CUTE HAIR-DO EVER WITH AN LJ POST!

Seriously, I can never get my hair to look cute, but it looks so much better right now than usual! And all I did was sleep the crap out of it, last night XD. I felt so dead when I woke up, but when I was brushing my teeth, I was all 'hey! my hair looks pretty good!' XD. I have nowhere to go today, though, so I'll have to keep the miraculous'ness to myself. Oh well ^^;. I KNOW DEXTER APPRECIATES ME!

and speaking of Dexter... I bought Dexter a new toy at Petsmart for his birthday (which was a few days ago). I took a few pictures of him playing with it, just because it was too cute a sight to behold XD.

( Happy birthday, Dexter <3! )

I never tire of watching him hauling that squeaky carrot plushie around the house XDD. Whoever designed the carrot dog-toy is a genius.

Happy anniversary +1 day to me!


Omg, I'm tired XD;.

It's officially been a year (plus a day, but I refuse to celebrate fond memories on such a horrendous day such as yesterday) since I stepped foot in Tokyo.

WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE, AND WHY CAN'T I GET ANOTHER AIRPLANE TICKET NOW? Oh well, I'll study hard ^o^. My mother accepts my desire to go back to Tokyo, but she wants me to knock out the rest of college first (as do I want myself to do also).

I'm so relieved I could cry about getting my Critical Literary Theory presentation + poetry portfolio + new poems done and out of the way for now ^^;. I was such a zombie though, while giving my presentation XD;.

HOW IS EVERYONE DOING? IS EVERYONE SURVIVING? I feel so out of touch lately (and out of it, I took a four hour pass-out session after class today o.O; )-- so that means I am >.>;. I'm sorry!

The weather's getting really awful at the moment-- raining, and a bunch of stuff just blew over on my window sill XD;. *carefully uprights her lucky-cats and Wentz the unipegicornisus*

I LOVE YOU ALL <3! Okay, my brain has had enough of stringing words together for now, so I'm going to do something less taxing, like stare at the wall. Ja ne~

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE ^^! I can't see what's so good about it so far, but it's only been here for about a minute or so. Perhaps it shall be better than the last year, but honestly, I don't really care. I don't live by "time," so it matters not to me if it is 2006 ^^;. Oh well. Gotta go watch some pretty fireworks ^^. *shall be online tonight afterall, as plans kindasorta fell through, but not really, just didn't go on as late as planned*

Here is a picture of Koshuu and I. We are both overstaying our welcome on Noa's bed. I like this picture, and it makes me smile, so I posted it here so I can randomly see it at times ^^. If anyone doesn't know, I am the one making vague handmotions that no one understands.

Me and Noa went to a really bad play tonight. Like, REALLY bad. As in: terrible, horrible, scary, and REALLY BAD. It was called Faena, and our drama department really sucks from what I can tell ^^;. Oh well. There was this bull in the play, but I could tell it wasn't a bull, cause I'm good like that. Actually, I could tell because it was a guy dressed in black waving around a cardboard bull head, and "stabbing" people with a stick wrapped in a hawaiian lei. Noa about slid out of her chair laughing the first time she saw the bull guy ^^. I was slumped over in mine, half dazed from fever, but I'm sure I would have done so also under normal circumstances.

Oh yes, concerts are fun ^^. Stereostatic finally played where I live, so I could hop on over and see them play. Too bad they played at The Bridge, they have a crappy acoustic setup/building/group of little punks running around. Hah, last time we were there, some were picking a fight with Stallion. They would've been sorely sad, and just sore. It would've been entertaining to see Stal beat up on little punks ^^.

After the concert, I made Stallion snap a few pictures of me and Denton. The one on the left is my fav. We always have to have a school girl pose picture after concerts. I've decided I shall make this a tradition. I have another one of us in a similar pose, and I shall look at it and smile forever ^^;.

Today, not much was done. I had fun slacking. Me and Noa hung out in the dorm for most of the day and read. I needed a break, as did Noa. We were getting stressed. ENGLISH 102 IS HARD. My brain hurts from writing those papers. I've never written real argumentative papers before, so I'm trying my durndest. Here's to trying to not fail! *clinks glass*

It is 9:42pm, but I'm giving serious thought to sleeping. That's insane o.O;. My slow (or quick, I haven't decided yet) descent into insanity will not be hugely affected by this irrational idea of going to bed early, so I shall be off.

G'night all ^^. And yes, I look scary in my gothy get-up. I like it that way.
