<-- Yoite from Nabari no Ou by molested (LJ-and yes, i'm not joking; that's their username.)

AHHHH THIS WEEK WAS SOOOOOOOO RELAXING!!!!!!!!!!!! AP's are FINALLY over xDDDDDDD i think this is the week i had the least homework-pretty much only had math this whole week. and i'm going bowling tommorow w/ my AP Psych study group! (after-AP party lol). i sound like a nerd...but don't worry, i'm not..right?

Since I had sooo much free time, i've been watching "Nabari no Ou". Watch/Read it, pplz! it's reallyyyyy gooood..(actually, not really...i mainly read it for Yoite <33). it's bascially about this cute and apathetic boy who has the power- okay just read it on wiki. i seem to have a fetish for cute guys in hats lol. first the guy in Persona 4, and now this....ohohohoho~ <--as my friend TiffWu would do :D hey jenny, can one of your friends cosplay as Yoite, plz??!! hahajkjk.

ToA (Tales of the Abyss) is alright. even though i played 20-something hrs of it (i only get to play on weekends 1 hr per day) i feel like NOTHING'S HAPPENING. why is it so good again? lotsa ppl recommended it...but the storyline moves so 'effin' slow...-_____-;; i also got a new cell..Envy2. my sis and I got it for free-apparently we came @ the right time...huhuhuhu~~ y am i typing these werid laughing noises? =-=;; it's a good phone, but..1)the front looks like a frickkin' calculator and 2)the screen on the front is so SMALL! i feel claustrophobic while dialing ppl's phone #'s - the phone like FORCES you to use the big texting screen instead.

okay, so who's going to AX?? i'm going to Korea (again!) this summer on July 20 to help teach korean kids english.....except this time it's in the countryside. it's pretty cool, 'cuz ppl all over the States are going. i hope we are able to really reach out to the kids and teach them about Christ/get along! afterwards i'm staying in Seoul for like 3 days w/ my cousins...whom i haven't met in like 2-3 years? one's the same age as me, one slightly younger. ;_; as long as they like korean groups we should be able to get along.

gah i should stop blabbing my head off. cross country's starting again. ugh - all of my leg muscles deteriorated. :(

 

Update for Joanna. What I've been up to:

Anime

- watching 5 cm per sec/ Byousoku 5cm (veoh). watch it all you romantic ppl out there. it's sweet, and the animation quality's so beautifulllll!!!!!!! (i mean you, Joanna! >:)

- stopped watching Code Geass. got too traumatizing for me/couldn't bear to watch 2 former BFF's fight. :(

Manga

- reading Kobato by CLAMP..? i wonder why i'm reading it sometimes tho. like their other mangas, it's all too-good-to-be-true and everyone-is-so-happy scenes. i guess the plot caught my attention. it's cute tho. i like how the dog randomly shoots fireballs/whatever out of his mouth. >]

- i really, really, REALLY want to watch Yozakura Quartet. the artwork caught my attention. http://www008.upp.so-net.ne.jp/suzuhito/pop/yozakura.htm

oh, and has anyone ever heard of the artbook called "Robot"? Range Murata gathers artists and they all contribute, whether it's short stories, artwork, etc. some stories keep going to the next volumes. 10 in all in Japan, 4 in US. T-T i want one! either vol. 1,2,4,5, or 9...person who came up w/ Yozakura Quartet comes in. apparently his story is about a family that's trying to get rid of color in their house. it's here..column on the left, 2nd-to-last one. sample: http://longrangebullet.info/murata/works/robot.htm. I borrowed vol.3 from Jennfier, and i loved it! well, some stories/artwork were a bit inappropirate *coughyaoistorycaough* but others were sweet. i really loved Imperial Boy's artwork http://tksn.web.infoseek.co.jp/rough/u3zo2.jpg <--something like this - go to official site for more.

i'm 17 now. O_o same age as Luke from Tales of the Abyss hahaha<--the game character's movements are so badly timed sometimes that it's funny. example: *anise holds onto guy's arm* guy: ..........................................................................................................................................................................ah!

me and sis:-_________-;;;  school's alright. APs! SATs!

1-Day Late Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!! gosh i need to update my LJ...:(

we did Secret Santa at our table. i got Janet..and Janet got me! woah. O_o;; although she couldn't get the first thing i wanted, which was the Brave Story DVD...(i found out later the only way you could get it is through online...--;;), she still got me the $20 Borders gift card! which i could use to buy the Brave Story novel! mwahahaha. :) this year ppl didn't give out that many gifts. i think everyone went broke this year. usually there's everyone carrying like 2 HUGE bags..this year it was either nothing or one medium-sized bag lol. XD

my sis and I each got $60 from my dad...so my sis bought me the "Tales of the Abyss" video game, and I got her...DBSK Rising Sun Concert DVD, Boa (this new japanese one?) concert DVD, and Rain's "I'm Coming" Concert DVD. they're scheduled to come next week. *.*  and w/ the leftovers we're plannning to buy dinner for my parents.

i've been really, really, REaLLY busy since break started, so i'm sorry i couldn't bake cookies w/ you, Karen! ><;; (it's not like she could see this, anyways..she quit xanga lol). Last Fri. ppl came over for dinner, than Sat. i had to go make cheesecake and then to my friend Norman's cousin's b-day party. it was weird 'cuz she's turning 10, yet she invites all of Norman's friends?! O_x she acts pretty darn mature for her age, though. i thought she was turning 11 or 12 in the beginning! Sunday - church. then Monday my mom and sis wanted to go to Koreatown and dragged me along >_>;; we went to korean cd shop, but we found out that online was much, much cheaper. and then on Christmas we had the x-mas church service in the morning, then 2 hours later went to my parent's friend's house for dinner. it was gooooooooooood. and now i'm getting ready to go to retreat @ 12..anyone been to Forest Falls, CA? i checked the weather online..the high is 47 degrees???!!!

since my b-day's coming in 2 months and i'll probably never update till then, i guess i'll put my wishlist here...(if anyone bothers to read it, that is..)

- Brave Story DVD (it's only $4-14 online. O.o) preview here http://youtube.com/watch?v=7NDUmXTGPdc ..or you can view the beginning on veoh.

- Brave Story novel look here: http://www.bordersstores.com/search/title_detail.jsp?id=56299170&srchTerms=Brave+Story&mediaType=1&srchType=Keyword 

- Tales of the Abyss strategy guide (i saw it @ Gamestop across from the mall, but that was like 2 years ago)

- need 1 more wii controller/ Game stop giftcard

- i need a new folder...the one i have right now is breaking apart xD;;

later p.s. anyone know how the protected list works? i did it, and it StILL doesn't show up on my public xanga...so screw it. x[
