I feel better, now. But then, marathoning a nice anime title usually improves my mood. ^^;; I just wish that I didn't have to go to school tomorrow...*Whines*

~~ Ah...Contentment... ~~

*Yawns* Thank goodness for Thanksgiving break! I feel better after having a few days to rest...and still having a few more to come ^^ I haven't really done much, but that's okay.

Today I went to see an advisor, to register for my spring classes...I'll be taking the next levels of Japanese, CS, and Calculus, plus Understanding Music and Health. ^^;; Not too bad, really. After we finished, I had okaasan show me where the Murdale shopping center was...Jennifer said that there was a nice little international grocery store there. We found it, and I officially love that place! I got some strawberry Pocky, rice crackers, and some canned green and oolong tea ^_^V I will definetly be going back there.

Okaasan wanted to window-shop a bit, so we went to the mall. After we finished looking around, we ate lunch. The resturant we ate at is one that has paper tablecloths, and gives you crayons so you can draw on it, so I sat there and wrote random things in Japanese on it ^^;; The food was okay, but dessert was awesome...okaasan and I split a piece of seven-layer chocolate cake...Yum!

Ah...*Sighs* I'm kinda tired, but I'm in a good mood. I think I'll try to make another Winamp skin...I made one of Haruka & Michiru yesterday, which I'm pretty happy with. ^^

~~ Irish Dancers Are Spiffy! ~~

Wow. I just got back from seeing the Trinity Irish Dance Company, and all I can say is...Wow. They were really good! The music was great, the dancers were incredible...over all, the show rocked. ^_^ If you ever get the chance to see them, do it!

*Yawns* I'm tired...I think I'll go to bed now...

~~ I'm Back... ~~

Wow, two entries in one day...^^ I'm sitting around, bored out of my mind, so I thought I'd post something. ^^;;

Techinically, I'm on the phone with Jason at the moment...I say 'techinically', because he's just sitting around playing one of his video games, which means he's completely ignoring me! *Growls* I hate it when he does that!

On a brighter note, I got to read some more Utena manga. Yay! Not as Miki-centric as the last volume, but still nice. I wonder if these will spawn some wacky dream, too? *G* I almost hope not, cause if they did it would probably be about Touga or Akio O.o ...and I have no desire to dream about either of those playboys!

*Sighs* So...bored...There's nothing to do, Jason's still ignoring me, Bobby's appeared online (oh, joy...), and I'm getting tired. I think I'll go to bed soon...

~~ Another Dream... ~~

Wow...this is an early post...^^;; Why, you ask? Well, I just had another interesting dream, and I wanted to post before I forgot it.

It's kind of strange...I usually don't remember my dreams. I don't know why, I just don't. But I remember this one...in fact, I was still dreaming it when my alarm went off. >.< Damn alarm...It was a nice dream...

This one was actually rather similar to my dream about Enishi, that I had earlier this year. This one was about Kaoru Miki, from Shoujo Kakumei Utena, though. I did read Volume 2 of SKU's manga last night, so maybe that explains this. ^^;; Actually, I'm pretty sure it does...I mean, given that Miki got nice coverage in that volume, plus I saw some things that weren't in the anime...^^;;

I don't remember it terribly well...Mostly I remember Miki. He was upset (something about Kozue, I think), and I was trying to comfort him. Like my last dream, it involved holding him, stroking his hair, speaking softly to him...He seemed so small; cuddled next to me, his head fit right under my chin...*Aww...!* Then, at some point, we were in a car ^^;;...I'm not sure where that came from...We were in the back, and someone else (possibly Bobby O.o;;;) was driving...No idea where we were going. Miki and I were huddled in the back seat (he was still upset)...then that damned alarm went off =P

After this dream, I'm beginning to wonder...both my anime-dreams have involved me comforting a favorite bishie...Yet, I would have thought that I would be the one being comforted...I tend to like protective guys (anime guys, at least)...Someone who would just hold you when you needed it, you know? Yet...in both dreams, I was the one being the protector, if you will. I must admit, I'm curious as to what that means...

*Sigh* I don't want to go to school...I want to go back to bed...*Yawns* It was such a nice dream....

~~ So...Tired... ~~

Argh...I swear, I'm so out of it. I was busy all last week with that double-assignment from my CS class, plus seeing my tutor to prepare for my math test (which I took today, and hopefully *didn't* fail for once). It kinda sucked. I mean, I usually spend my weekends goofing off, relaxing...just generally recovering from the stresses of the week. I need my weekends. They keep me sane. Did I get any relief last weekend? Nope.

After class on Friday, I went to the Drag Show with Jennifer (which was really fun), and I didn't get to bed until sometime after midnight. Then I had to get up and go see my tutor at 10 on Saturday morning. Not fun. Getting up early (Yes, that is early for me! Especially after staying up late), then struggling with detestable math for two hours...I swear, I felt like my brain had melted and would soon be leaking out my ears. >.< Shortly after I finished with my math, my mother decreed that I needed some warmer clothing, and thus dragged me to the mall to purchase gloves, a hat, and a sweater. -_-;;;

I was able to sleep in on Sunday, which was good. Unfortunately, it caused me to have no free time that day. I got up around noon; my father and I left for St. Louis at about 3:00. Why the trek to St. Louis? We had tickets to go see the Moody Blues. ^^ The only good thing to ever come of watching Channel 9. Dad brought his XM radio, so we had nice music to listen to as we drove; he and I have very similar tastes in music, which is cool. On the way there, we stopped and ate at an Olive Garden, which was good, as usual ^_^ I love their fettuccine alfreado, and their Caesar salad is almost a meal in itself ^^ The concert itself was pretty good; we had good seats, though the bass was awfully loud; it rendered most of the lyrics unintelligible. =P The music was good, though. ^^ They played "Singer in A Rock and Roll Band", which I loved, plus a lot of other good songs. The only downside was that I didn't get to bed until around midnight...This being bad in itself, but mostly because I had to get up at 6:00 this morning, to go to school. >.< Gotta love that commute =P

Plus, my CS prof. is dangling another lab assignment over our heads (it's coming, he just hasn't posted it yet). Then, as part of the math test that I took today, I have a separate copy to take as an "open-book" test, which I have to finish, and get my tutor to check, by Wednesday. Not to mention my Japanese and Calc homework, that I tend to ignore until the last minute. God...I will be so glad when we get Thanksgiving break...*Begins checking off the days* Just this week, and next, then I get a week off...That's one thing I do like about college...our seasonal breaks (Thanksgiving, winter, spring) are longer than they were in HS. We get a whole week for Thanksgiving, when we only got a 4 day weekend in HS.

*Yawns* Well, that's about all I have to say about that. ^^ Now, I think that I'll go to bed.

~~ Let's Hear It for the Boys? ~~

*Sighs* TGIF! I'm so tired. I've been busy all week...So why am I up this late, you ask? Well, there was a Drag Show at my school tonight, and I went. *G* It was so funny! I really enjoyed it; some of the drag kings/queens were really convincing, too. ^^;; I went with Jennifer, and her boyfriend Matt, and we ran into Samantha and some of her friends, so we all sat together. We all had a great time. The music was good, the performers were talented, and the acts were just plain good. ^^ The audience liked to show their support by offering dollars to the queens/kings. Now, picture this; there were these little old men there, who kept tipping the drag queens. *G* Just that sight alone was amusing. ^_^ Plus, when we came in, they stamped our hands...Turns out that was so we could get into the local gay bar at a discount XD We didn't go (I'm under-age, and hate alcohol besides), plus it was late, although it would have been interesting...get me and Jen into a place like that and we'd be cooing over all the gay boys. *Is such a yaoi fangirl!*

*Sigh* I guess I should go to bed now...I have to get up in the morning and go see my tutor, so that I'll have some chance at passing my math test this Monday...=P

~~ Wow, a Mid-week post! ~~

Yes....I'm alive! *G* And in a remarkably good mood, considering that it's only Tuesday.

I finished my lab assignment for my CS class, which is good...though they gave us another one =P I did get some of it done, though. I only wish that I was as happy with my math classes...*Sighs*

Also, I ran into Jason yesterday. Yeah, he's still alive. ^^ We sat on my porch for quite a while and talked, which was nice...if you don't count all the mosquito bites I got. =P

Plus, I've been thoroughly enjoying my Yugiou manga, as well as my Saiyuki DVDs, which have captured my attention for some reason. ^^ And I've been scouring my files, and the internet, for skinnable images, 'cause I haven't made one in a while...Maybe this weekend. ^^

All that, plus the fact that NYPD Blue's Season Premier airs in a half hour, makes for one happy Kitsune ^__^

~~ Aiya....*Faints* ~~

*Sighs* What a week....I've been sick since Sunday, and you all know how fun that is. I'm not sure what it is, but I've been sore all over, and my chest and throat have been tightening, making it difficult to breathe. Not fun. And since I'm in college now, I get virtually NO sick days...'cause someone decided that getting sick enough to miss class is a cardinal sin, and thus there are penalties, usually in the form of lowering my final grade in the class. Grr. I swear, if I knew who came up with this concept, I'd make sure they died a slow, painful death.

I'm feeling a bit better now, though, so that's one good thing. I've spent most of today looking for images to skin, 'cause I just feel like skinning something. ^_^ I haven't decided on an image to use yet, though.

And why, oh why, do I always seem to attract weirdos? It's really not fair. Bobby's been bugging me again today. I swear, I don't know what it's going to take to get him to stop hitting on me! I like him as a friend (pretty much, at least), but nothing more! God, I wish he'd get that! Somehow, I have the sinking feeling that, someday, when I'm married, he'll still be hitting on me! Of course, if he did, I could always sic my dear husband on him. ^^ God, what I'd give to have a nice boyfriend, who could tell him firmly to cut it out! *Sigh* Why is it that the only men that seem attracted to me are the annoying/weird ones? I mean, Jason's got his depression and other emotional problems, and Bobby's...well...eccentric, to put it nicely, and really rather hard-headed at times. I swear, I just can't see having romantic feelings for either one of them...Jason's like a brother to me, and Bobby...well...he's like the nutty cousin that you only see at reunions.

God, I hope that this isn't a sign of what's to come...I know that some of the average guys won't like me, because I don't give a damn how I look (thus, I'm really not much to look at...and I have no interest in dating a guy who doesn't like me based solely on my looks.), plus the fact that I'm shy (which I hate!)...But, damn! I think I'll go nuts if the only guys I can attract are the nutjobs! *Sigh* Aren't there any nice guys out there, who will take an interest in a girl like me?

Geez...I'm getting so sick of all this drama...The only people outside my family who associate with me are the aforementioned nuts, and I'm getting really tired of it. I suppose I should be glad that I don't hear from them as often lately, but somehow that fails to comfort me. I haven't heard from Jason in two weeks, so I don't know what's going on with him...and that bugs me. I may not be in love with him, but I do still care. And I miss him. And I'm bored. =(

Okay, okay...I'm done whining, now. ^^;;;

~~ Another Weekend Post ~~

I'm beginning to think this is turning into a weekly thing =P I was busy again this week, though this time it was more tutoring than homework. Yeah, I've swallowed my pride and started going to a tutor for my math classes. I'm about equally lost in both, so I've been spending a couple hours a night, a couple nights a week working on it. Yay. =P And I'll probably have to keep it up, cause I'm just not following my professors. My Discreet Math professor just doesn't make any sense at all. I mean, she's nice and I can tell she's trying, but I just can't follow her line of thought. I've already ranted about my Calculus professor, but she's been doing better these past couple of days, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that maybe I'll be able to understand her better.

As for homework, I have a little Japanese, which I plan to do a little later today, and some Calculus, which I plan to ignore until Monday. ^^

Now, for yet another confusing thing, Jason called me last weekend. Which means he's not mad at me for ignoring him. Good, right? I'm not sure. He acts like nothing happened...which means that I'm going to have to talk to him about "us". =P I'm considering using the "you're like a brother to me" talk, which is actually rather fitting, but I'm not sure yet. Now, I haven't heard from him since, so I dunno. I don't know where he's living now, so I don't have a number or address to contact him at, so I guess I'll just wait for him to call again. *Shrugs*

I'm hoping that I'll be able to make some more Winamp skins this weekend. Since I started school, I haven't been able to work on them as much, though I did make a couple last weekend. (I'm really happy with the Yugi/Yami Yugi one and so-so about the Bakura/Yami Bakura one, both here.)

And now, I'm off to kill some time. ^___^
