W00t, I now have journal entries. Awesome. A big thanks to MaskedMarvel for telling me that the "devient comments" get erased after some time. And thanks for the welcome! ^_^ I feel all warm and fuzzy inside... like an inside-out bunny.

...That was a bit of a gross image, wasn't it? Sorry... Sometimes I have no sense. I really meant it nicely, though!

I'd also like to take the time to say that my sister is awesome. She gave me like forty bucks today, for MapleStory. Interesting dialogues with my friends about my different haircuts ensued as I tried to find one I liked, since the VIP coupon isn't out yet (rrg).

I have lots of papers to write. So I'm taking a break and writing more in here. The gods know my fingers aren't ready to fall off yet...

I played Super Smash Bros. Melee today, and utterly pwned everybody I played in it. It was awesome.

I thought I had something interesting to say... but I guess I don't. ^_^ It was something cool and profound, but... oh well.

Oh, and Yuki Kajiura rocks. My favourite composer of all time. If you haven't heard the song "Ensei", find it somewhere NOW and listen to it. It's that awesome.

And I leave you with this:

Hey, there's actually a JOURNAL for this stuff. Wow. Huh. Well I like this better. ...Maybe. I dunno. Do the old ones keep extending on forever, and are saved too? Because if so, what's the point of having this and a journal? Maybe this is supposed to be more like one of those whats-it-calleds... Tagboards. Can other people write in this thing? Somebody write, if you can! I don't care who you are, if I know you or not, or anything. Just write something. I command it!

Speaking of which, I wrote a 2000-word essay today, in about an hour and a half. And I'm thinking it didn't suck. It was about something easy: The emphasis placed on "giri" and "ninjou" in kabuki and bunkaku theater in early-modern Japan.

Mmm... after talking to a friend today, I realized I should get back to work on that Sennen Ankh I was making. I need to smooth out the edges a little more and paint it.

...Heck, I need to do anything. Really.

Said friend also made me think kind of about my family situation. My mom is crazy, and she picks on my older sister. I actually have a really good relationship with my older sister. My younger sister is kind of pampered and bratty, but we get along too. But anyway, my nee-chan, she's really cool. She got me interested in anime, MapleStory, music that doesn't suck... yeah. ^_^ She's protective of us, and kind of lets herself the the scapgoat of my mom's anger. I'm grateful for her trying to sheild us from my mom's craziness, but...

But she needs to stand up for herself too, and do what needs to be done. What should have been done years and years ago. And I... need to rise, and shift some of the burdan off of her shoulders onto mine. She also should not need to suffer alone...

...On a slightly less personal and depressing note...

I'm eating dinner and listening to "I Still Believe", which is like the most awesome song ever. It's from Miss Saigon, which is like the most awesome play ever. I need to make a list of good songs. ...Though nobody would read it, and random people looking for mp3s instead of a list of good songs would get annoyed. I remember back in the day when that happened to me, because I hadn't discovered limewire. ^_^

...and now I'm done dinner, and off to read a book that I've been meaning to crack for the last couple of weeks. After all, it's only midnight, and the night is young. I'm going to stay up late and read books until three, because I party HARD. CORE.

I write about myself in this thing a lot more often than I do in my livejournal. I NEVER write about myself in my livejournal. ...Well, maybe I did once. But that was really about it. Most of that stuff is poetry and prose that I'm much too lazy to move over here. Maybe I'll copy it someday... but probably not.

So I was really sad today when I found out a good friend of mine was hurt yesterday (I didn't see her). A mutual friend told me about it, and said my hurt-friend probably wouldn't be online. But she did come on later and we got to talk. Being with her made me feel a little better, and I hope she feels better, too...

My computer's been weird all day. The internet is kind of skippy and bleh. I need to let it rest, I guess. Or stop running more than one application at once, because for some reason, Windows can't seem to deal with that. I'm listening to music in WMP, too...

I can't seem to get tired of "One-Winged Angel". I have like five different versions of it, and I <3 them all. I wish our school's choir would sing it in a concert... that would be AWESOME. Maybe I'll send an e-mail to Uematsu Nobou and request permission to do it. ^_^

I experienced Gushers for the first time today. My mind didn't connect "Gushers" with "gushing," however, and I was a little surprised at the liquid squirting out when I first bit down. It didn't really gush, though... it was more like a little squirt. Maybe they should be called "Squirters"? ...Though that sounds a little odd, I suppose.

On that train of thought, I'm off to make more ramen. The gods know I don't eat enough.

So only a day has passed, and I've already gotten two reviews. Smashing. I feel loved.

I was pondering something earlier. What was it again?

I'm no longer considered a n00b. It's only been twenty-four hours. I guess that wasn't so bad.

I realized after I signed off of MapleStory I forgot to ask how my friend did on her test. (Not that I'm not sure she did amazing, and will probably start getting calls from various publishers begging her to write for them based on her little school essay.) I hope she doesn't think I'm a jerk. 'Cause I'm just forgetful. ^_^

I've been told I'm overly sensitive for a guy. Heck, I've been told I'd even be overly sensitive for a girl. I like to think that I have a good sense of "aware" - understanding of the true nature of the world. There's nothing wrong with being moved by the subtle sadness of the wind or the sweetness of the sun.

...Unless you're hanging out with football players. Then everybody thinks you're gay. ...Which I'm not, though I don't have a girlfriend, either. I'm eighteen, and DO have a sex-drive, but I've had no sex and don't really plan on it since it's not especially important to me. I like talking more than action. I like knowing people's minds more than their bodies. It's a different kind of closeness, a different kind of specialness.

I know that that's kind of abnormal, especially for someone my age. I'm a freak! W00t. But I'm a happy freak, so let me be my weird ol' self.

So I guess I'm kind of amused. I've watched devientart for... awhile, reading my friends' things, and being too lazy to actually make my own account. But I guess I got un-lazy for awhile, because BANG! --here's my account.

It's advertizing that I'm teh n00b up top in my profile. Very nice. >_<

My dad's watching TV, and I can see it out of the corner of my eye. I don't know what program it is, but there's this girl in a very tight velvet dress acting like a COMPLETE *ah-hem* in this poor guy's kitchen. What's the matter with TV today, I swear... Everything has to be about sex and/or blowing things up. Like James Bond movies, only worse and more.

I can't actually hear what they're saying on the TV, anyway, though. I'm listening to what I'm PRETTY sure is a Hindi version of "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend", though it sounds different. But in a good way! This song kicks total assassin.

Well, I'm off to eat about twenty pounds of chocolate. Life is sweet.

...And when it's not, you've gotta make it sweet yourself.

^_^
