French Poetry -- FTW?!

Tue, 04 Dec 2007 22:01:32 GMT

Yo this is turning into my once-every-two-month writing journal or something. Is that a bad thing? I don't think many people want to read updates on my busy busy life, so I'll leave it at that.

Anyway, as the title says, ZOMG!ITSFRENCHRUNINFEAR! Yeah. We had to write poems in French class, so I thought I'd share. I hate poetry, though it sounds better in another language. So here it is: my hardly-making sense French love poem. (My teacher has a thing for love poems, and it creeps me out eeeeeeever so slightly.)

Title: Se Taire
Author: Me ~~duh. as seen by my craptastic french skillz~~
Rating: G ~~it would be scary to read something to the class NOT G-rated...~~
Genres: Drama, Romance ~~(eww)~~
Word Count: 114
Warnings: I warned you many times it was French. Crappy French. And a whole lot of synonyms.

C’est la douleur vous sentez
Quand il voie une autre
Ne gaspille pas votre temps
Il n’inquiétera pas trop longue

Timidité

C’est l’angoisse vous montrez
Quand il ne te salue
Vous gâchez vos émotions
Certainement il n’apercevra non plus

Lâcheté

C’est la souffrance vous dépeignez
Vous saviez comment il se sent
Ce n’est pas vous qu’il cherche
Vous n’êtes pas si complexant

Appréhension

C’est le tourment vous exhiberez
Quand il te repousse de côté
Pouviez-vous prendre la parole?
Où bien vous aviez trop de fierté?

Anxiété

C’est l’inquiétude vous fournissiez
Quand il dit ses adieux
Mais demain n’arrivera jamais
Aujourd’hui elle était fallacieuse

À cause de ta
Timidité
Lâcheté
Appréhension
Anxiété
Il ne saura jamais

Another Original Piece

Thu, 11 Oct 2007 01:36:43 GMT

Okay... so I've been emo lately. No, not really. Just busy, which is seen by my lack of updating anything as of recently. I'd like to say I'm keeping up my writing, though that's only half true. I just have no time, and no inspiration. Meh. Something will kick in eventually.
Until then, due to my lack of updates, I bring a highly uninspired short thing. I really don't like it as much as my other one, though this one actually reflects my mood a little better.

Title: WWW
Author: Hinata-hime
Rating: G
Genre: Drama, Angst? (not really)
Word Count: 558 (yay! under 1000)
Warnings: This has no real structure and jumps ideas quite quickly. Mostly ramblings and a whole lot of what-ifs.

Was it yesterday? Last month? The day we met?

Truth be told, I’m not quite sure when it happened. All I know is that I fell hard. And to this day it hurts with an unrivalled sort of pain.

They say love is for losers. Well what can I say? I’m cool with being one.

I’m the type of person that imagines, “Wouldn’t it be nice if life was a well written fairytale?” But anyone who’s experienced the real world knows that such a thing is more-or-less too good to be true. However, there is some part of that imaginary world that holds true.

To love unconditionally. It’s a hard concept to grasp.

But you get used to it.

The constant feeling that starts off small, somewhere in the middle of the chest, but steadily rises upward until there’s an echoing throb throughout your skull... it gets old after awhile. Old, yet prominent to oneself.

Especially on those days.

You don’t see me, but I’m always there.

Waiting.

Watching.

Wondering.

Waiting for the chance you’d look up and see me. Call me over.

Watching your every movement, every action, and every figure of emotion that flickers across your face. Though what I end up seeing, is you watching her.

Wondering if you’ve ever thought about me like I’ve thought about you. But as soon as I see how every inch of your body softens in her presence, I know the former thought has never been the case.

But it’s not entirely your fault. Had I had the courage of those people in the fairytale dramas, I’d have told you long ago. Told you that yesterday, or last month, or since we first met, that I liked you.

But whenever you do request for my presence, I tense up. Content with simply nodding, and putting on a gleaming smile.

“You’re her size. Try this on.”

“You’ll help me chose the gift for her? Man, you are a total life saver.”

“I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t have a friend like you.”

So every time you go off with flowers in hand, or a gift tucked safely under the arm, I wish a: “Good luck.” As I said, there is some truth to corny romantic stories.

When you are happy, so am I. For the time being, in any case. The echoing thumps will set in later, once every trace of you has left.

Sometimes I draw my knees in tight, and curl the rest of my body into position. What must I look like at the moment? Blank? That’s the way I feel. Just blank.

You know, perhaps I am simply a fool. I don’t really think that way of you at all. Perhaps it is the nature of human curiosity. What would it be like, to love you?

So, in the mean time, I’ll keep waiting. Perhaps one day you’ll need me more than you think.

I’ll keep watching. Never forget I have your back. This unwavering devotion...

I’ll keep wondering. What happens when you’ll never look my way? Perhaps if I start deluding my soul into whole-heartedly believing fairytale endings are possible, I’ll never have to wonder.

But the mind does wander.

So I can’t help but wonder.

Then I continue to watch.

But most importantly, and longingly, yet with utmost patience, I wait.

Original Fiction

Kay. I'm not dead, I swear. I'm just busy. Straight after exams I got a counselor's job taking care of 4-5 year olds. And let me tell you, while they are uber cute, they are the biggest handful ever. I'm so tired it's not even funny.

Anyway. I told Erin (aka blu3jeanbaby) that I'd write her something for her birthday. Which was basically a month ago, but hey, hopefully the thought still counts. It better, because I'm really not that great at original fictions, more so short stories. Maybe since it's my first one (non-school-related). So Kirshy, please forgive me if it's crap. I tried.
Everyone's welcome to read it as well (just don't kill me with criticism T.T)

Title: Dear Friend
Author: thewhitelotus aka Hinata-hime
Rating: G
Genre: Friendship, Drama
Word Count: 1,006 (damn it! My goal was 1,000. Stupid 6 words over the limit...)

Dear Friend:
Do you remember when we first met? Funny. I can’t either. I always seemed to have known you. Wherever I was, so were you. Wherever you were, I was there too. It just seemed to work out that way. We were inseparable. In fact, we were probably twins separated at birth who, some way or another, ended up finding each other in this endless sea of humanity.

Dear Friend:
Do you remember that time in the third grade? Well, of course you don’t. That was forever ago, after all. Well there was this group of kids teasing me. So what if I lost my two front teeth a little later than others? But you know, I shouldn’t have ever worried at all. You were there. You stood up for me. You were always doing that, even if you didn’t always know it. That was just how you were.

Dear Friend:
Remember how excited we were to be going on to middle school? We were practically ancient in age by that time. Or so we thought at the time. We were finally going to get lockers. Ours were going to be always right beside each other. And we’d have a whole bunch of friends who’d wish they were as close as we were.

Dear Friend:
Did you expect us to remain close forever? I mean, taking a good look at our personalities, we were nothing short of to poles of the horseshoe magnet; forever destined to remain close, yet so very far apart in nature (currently a physics student, what can I say?). Do you remember the 7th grade? No, probably not. But again, I do. You met a handful of new people. I met the same ones. But of course, they got along with you better. You were the friendly one. That was always the case. It was just that, before, I’d been too naïve to see it.

Dear Friend:
After graduating from middle school, I knew things would never go back to the ways they were. You didn’t seem to think so, but I knew. You said dating would never interfere with friendship. What a joke, Friend. You were ahead of me in many ways: friends, sociability, intelligence. But for someone so savvy as yourself, you were very stupid. So very stupid. Of course, no one else thought so. Maybe you were simply blissfully ignorant, or truly innocent, or simply goddamn pure.

Dear Friend:
I know you were doing it on purpose. And still, you kept that stupid and incognizant look upon your face when we were together. Of course, the time had diminished exponentially since our younger and insouciant days of our youth. (High school does not count as youth, no matter what anyone says.) You’d insist on spending time together, without your new friends or your current date. In short, just the two of us. Did it ever occur to you that I didn’t want your company anymore? For the more I looked at you, the more I realised I wasn’t the person I wanted to be.

Dear Friend:
I didn’t realise how stupid you were until that day last February. Do you remember that? Probably not, once again. You stood up for me once again. I wished, from the bottom of my heart, you’d stop doing that. I was a changed person, remember? And if there was something that this new, tainted me hated, it was debt. You knew it. And yet you forced me into eternal debt. It was from then on, our pure and childish friendship was broken.

Dear Friend:
Debt wasn’t the only thing that came out of that incident. Thanks to you, my legs shake when crossing the street, and my stomach knots when I enter a car. You should have let it hit me. I would be less missed than you. Do you know how many people showed up to see you? I don’t quite remember. But it was more than I had fingers and toes.

Dear Friend:
They say I lost a good friend—a real sibling. I gave a moving speech, so I also heard. There was not a dry eye in the building. They lied, Friend. My eyes weren’t red, like everyone else’s. But I didn’t think it was appropriate to say I was glad you were gone. Finally, when I stepped outside, the sun seemed a lot brighter than I remembered. I knew why; there was no shadow to cover me now.

Dear Friend:
You don’t remember much of anything now, lying uncomfortably in that hole in the ground, do you? Be grateful, Friend. I came to visit you in your sorry new home. I brought you some lilies. They used to be your favourite. Of course, if it came from me, it was automatically your favourite. Even in your final moments, you were pitiful. How could you have looked at me with happiness in your eyes as you took your final breaths, as to say you were glad to go in my place.

Dear Friend:
I’ll admit, it’s a little lonely. No one knows what I’m thinking anymore. No one calls at 2 AM because they think I’m asleep. But on the other hand, your friends notice me. Your date wants to try things out between us. Maybe things work out this way.

Dear Friend:
It must be raining today. Can you feel it? Though, the ground is mostly dry, and the sky lacks clouds. But it must be raining. My face is wet.

Dear Friend:
Is it too late to say I’m sorry?

Dear ~~Friend~~ Best Friend:
Please don’t go. I was only kidding when I said I hated you. I was only joking when I called you stupid. I really liked your silly and innocent smile. So please, won’t you come back? Come call me at 2 AM. Tell me it’s a joke. I’ll make you a deal. Next time you come to see me, I’ll tell you what I’ve never said before:
Best Friend, I love you.

Yeah. I hope that wasn't ridiculously horrid.

Wed, 30 May 2007 02:44:12 GMT

Well this entry is WAY overdue. Like... a billion months overdue. I realize I haven't put up my pics from Spain yet. I'll get around to it eventually. This post is mainly for Rachel, though, as she wanted some pictures from my sister's Bat Mitzvah.

Instead of posting every individual pic, I'll give you the link to the gallery.

Here we go.

There Will Always Be Paris...

Mon, 26 Mar 2007 01:07:24 GMT

Right. Well I wanted to post the rest of my trip earlier, but you know how it is with school and stuff. At least I'll manage to put a few pictures here!

March 9th: So everyone woke up at 7 for breakfast. Now I'm not a morning person, but I was wide awake. Probably adrenaline huh? Breakfast food was super good. At least the croissant anyway. But I expected as much. After that we got on a coach bus and took a scenic tour of the city.

After that, we headed to Notre Dame cathedral. It was pretty cool (minus the fact that everyone was drenched from the rain outside). Seeing something like that makes you wonder how humans built something so tall, and with so much care. After that we all split up for lunch. I ended up at a small Gyros/sandwich/crepe shop with 4 other people. I still can't believe I ate a foot-long chicken baguette. Oh well. It was good. In the afternoon, we went to the Picasso museum. Imo, that was rather dull. I can only take so much Picasso. So a lot of us left early and walked around the area, which was rather Picasso itself. I found this awesome sweater plus matching hat, but I wasn't ready to spend 50 euro. After that, we all went to dinner at a place called Flan, which was a type of thin crust pizza w/o the tomato sauce plus other toppings. Dessert was of similar style, but instead of meat, it was chocolate chips as toppings. After dinner, we went for a boat cruise on the Sen, seeing some highlights of Paris by night. After that was over, we took the elevator up to the top of the Eiffel Tower. It was an awesome view of the city.
March 10th: It was a rather slow start to the day. No one had gotten a wakeup call, so we all woke up an hour later. In any case, we quickly ate breakfast and headed to the Musée d'Orsay, which is this small museum built inside this old train station. We spent no more then an hour there, before heading off to Versailles. It was this huge castle built by Louis XIV, and I can't even begin to describe how beautiful it was. If you watch the movie Marie Antoinette, well, you'll see what I'm talking about. We ate lunch in a small cafe outside the castle, which was quite nice. We were actually really lucky it was sunny, because we got to sit on the terrace. In the evening we spent a lot of time in Montmartre, which is the bohemian part of the city. So we saw things like the Moulin Rouge, the writers' cafes, those sorts of things. Oh, also the Sacré Coeur.

March 11th: It was a pretty lazy day. We woke up, ate the usual croissant and bread for breakfast, and took the Metro down to the Louvre. Wow. Another huge museum.

So we saw all the things we needed to: Mona Lisa (which is really quite a small picture, especially on a huge wall), the Venus DeMilo (I didn't really get that one...) and so on. We got to walk around the Tuilleries outside, and around the area, which was very city-esque. Dinner was early, as we had to go back to our hotel and pack up. We were taking a night train, of course, since no trip to Europe would be complete without one. So, it's 11 PM, and we're leaving Paris. Let me tell you, we didn't think it was going to be that long of a night. But, of course, we were wrong.

South of France and Spain comes next!

The Chronicles...How Dramatic

Sun, 18 Mar 2007 03:15:34 GMT

Well, as some of you know, I've been dead for the past little while. But I'm back! From Europe! Oh my goodness it was awesome. So I was told to keep a log of what happened, and I did. Sorta. Kind of vague, but it's a log nonetheless. In parts anyway.

And its long. So just not to spam your friends' page, it'll be under a cut.

March 7th: The lot of us met at the airport at 11 AM. Nice waste of a school day. Anyway, flight on Air Canada to Chicago was okay. We waitede around in O'Hare for about 5 hours. (The train between the terminals was the coolest part of the trip XD. Cuz I'm weird that way.) Managed (but barely) to eat a deep-dish pizza from Uno's, plus started munching on my pack on mini-Oreos Mom bought. So after the humungo line at security, we were on BA to London. My seat was all the way at the back of the place. But first-class...wow. It was amazing (I mean, you could lie down completely there!) But, point being, it was far from where we sat. Anyway, somehow after managing to partially eat dinner, I took some good advice from our teacher-leader person and tried to get some sleep.

March 8th: Sleeping was well... cramped. I basically woke up every hour (on the hour) from 12 until 3 in the morning (T.O. time). At that point, the Sun was up. So basically we couldn't go back to sleep. We landed in Heathrow at about 4:30 (still T.O. time). That airport was more of a shopping mall than an airport. Most of it was either the duty-free shop or Harodd's. In any case, it wasn't something any of us could afford. Not even a sandwich at a cafe. Stupid £3... Anyway, many hours at London later, we got called to board. Only, our plane didn't have a parking spot at the gate. So we had to walk on the runway-ish thing (I have no idea what it's called) and onto the plane from there. Now I can say I've stepped on English soil. The plane ride from London to Paris was rather short for me. Slept basically from just after takeoff to just before landing. Anyway.
After 23 hours in airports, we were finally in Paris. We met our tour guide, Pablo, and we waited a little while for him to get us our coach bus. In the mean time, a group of Japanese students (who were also on the London-Paris flight) passed by, getting on their bus next to ours. I think my next trip should be to Japan. I surprisingly understood a lot of what they were saying. Anyway, after we got on the bus, we went into the city. It was pretty cool. Driving is hilarious. People don't quite know what lanes are.
A little while later we got to the hotel. It was an okay place, a little small. But European hotels aren't exactly Hilton Suites, if you get what I mean. After freshening up, we took the Metro to our dinner restaurant. The food wasn't spectacular, but interesting nonetheless. On the way back to the hotel, we all stopped at a grocery store, since we had a kitchenette in the room. We bought a couple fruits, some water, and some snacks.
Not much to say after that. We all kind of crashed when we got back to our rooms.

Yeah, I'm tired right now. Shall post the rest later, and add some pictures too.

Multipost (of doom)

Tue, 28 Nov 2006 23:03:48 GMT

Kay. First and foremost, I feel it needs to be said... Happy Birthday kenninacho! 15 right? (Cuz I'm just that horrible with birthdays...)

Yayness. Next item on teh ~~short~~ list is regarding Fruits Basket. Jan, I don't know if you have found it yet, but I have the RAWs and the translation. Just message me if you want. ^^

And for all the rest...hmm. What to say? Oh. I know. I have too many projects to do. A French ISP, World History ISP, and 2 chem projects. That's right. 2 chem. How do you have projects in that class? Just leave it up to my teacher to come up with that. *rolls eyes*

I can't wait for the break. T.T... Florida... Oh how I love thee.

Cuz I haven't Posted in Awhile...

Tue, 31 Oct 2006 03:54:04 GMT

I don't think I'm supposed to be on now. O.O Oh well. (I'm bored and hyper so why not post...)
It's been pretty blah recently. I'm glad my computer's back alive though. It was dead for a long long time X.X Now it's just my sound that doesn't work properly. ~~For some reason I can't watch anything on VLC or YouTube...~~

Hmm. What else? Randomness? My math teacher hasn't been here in a week... I wonder what's happening with that. And my ancient civs teacher wasn't here for the stupid test so we didn't get to do it! I can't believe I'm complaining about not writing a test... but now I'm too lazy to restudy. Cuz that's what a procrastinator does...

What else? Oh, finally finished another one of my stories. 147 pages later. Not as long as my other one, but still. Yay. Now I have to work on the sequel. Cuz no one's going to like me for the ending. Man, I can't end things for beans (or anything else for that matter).

Ohhh. Heros was good tonight! Anyone else watch that? It's my new favourite show!

What else?... Oh. ~~(I really need to stop saying that word. Oh...)~~ What's everyone doing for Halloween? I went to a party on Saturday... I was a school-girl. XD Yes. I could totally pull of the school uniform thing! But anyway. I need to mooch off the candy from my sisters. I'm too old to go around T.T (I wanna be a kid again!)
Kay. Rant done. *runs away*

Friday the 13th...sort of...

Sat, 14 Oct 2006 04:41:44 GMT

Okay, I wanted to post it on Friday...but now it's Saturday...but close enough. (This post is nonesense btw) Just wanted to wish you all superstitious (if any of you actually are) guys good luck. Even though the day is over. Obviously I didn't think this through properly.

Oh. I also wanted to say: Wicked was awesome. The Wizard of Oz makes so much sense now! ^^ I love musicals. For all of you in the city, go see it! Well worth the fortune you have to pay for the ticket.
*flys away on broom*

Wed, 11 Oct 2006 22:40:49 GMT

I haven't posted in awhile. So I shall write something now (before my sister runs and takes the computer). [RANT]

School sucks. It takes up so much more time than last year! Why was the work load in grade 10 so different than 11? *sighs* I think it's mainly French. Since when did he this year decide to give us homework... well, work in general? And chem's torture. Math...well math shall always be math. And history... meh. I can't really complain about that one. Surprisingly enough.
Oww. Sister just yelled in my ear. T.T
I'm wondering how long this computer will last. My other sister's friends were on webmessenger and accepted these viruses. (I honestly want to smack this girl. She's extremely rude to my sister. And she goes to my school. RAWR!) So yeah. Now basically the whole computer is screwed up some way or another.

[/RANT]

Okay. XD That really felt good! Hmm. I need to start working on that fic journal of mine. I was planning to start an original fic, posted in journal entries. ~~Wonder if anyone would be interested in reading it...~~

Tis all for now then. Until next time!
~~Obsessive fangirl moment: Gah! End you stupid Naruto fillers!~~

Sun, 17 Sep 2006 04:49:57 GMT

Well, I sucessfully created my mood theme. God, it took forever! And it was a moment thing. So when I came back to find more pics the next day my inspiration was totally gone. Oh well.

Just also wanna say welcome to LJ Hilda! Use it well!

And to Erin: I wanna work on doing the black and white effects on some of those pics. Anything you want me to do lemmie know. (Haha I'm bored!)

Kay! There's my useless entry.

Oops. Should go to bed now. Have to be up early for the Terry Fox run tomorrow.

Just a bunch of things... and a meme

Sat, 09 Sep 2006 21:15:37 GMT

Well, since I haven't posted anything in awhile, let's start with the most obvious of things: school. Other than the many heavy textbooks, it isn't as bad as I thought it'd be.
French: I have Danciu again. I guess for getting him the 3rd year in a row he's alright this time. ~~He knows us too well. Maybe he gave up on us.~~
World History: I hate history. But I had to choose between that and World Religions (both in French) for my honours certificate. *sighs* But Gray's a good teacher. So... well, we'll see.
Math: Yeah. Took it enriched. So far there's nothing special about it though. Math is just math. Enough said.
Chem: Well right now it's about as entertaining as looking at a blank wall for 70 mins. I use the back of my chem notebook for writing. XD Ahaha. Teacher doesn't even notice. But she knows my name already o.O which is rather scary considering the size of our class.

Anyway. That's it basically. I'm rather sad that a bunch of my friends have different classes, which means our lockers are on different ends of the school. Oh well...

Ah. I was also tagged by Kenni.

Yup. It's official. I'm in one of those moods.

There must be something wrong with me. That's the only thing I can think of. This latest obsession with dancing. It's unhealthy I tellz you! I think it started out with this anime called The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. (For those of you who like anime and haven't seen it, watch it!) Anyway, in the ending theme song they dance. XD And of course, I had to lean it. Which didn't take me very long.

Then I went back watching the Bleach Rock Musical. And of course, musicals have dancing in it. So then tonight I learned the rest to Hona Sainara. A surprisingly easy dance once you've seen it about 10 times.

Does anyone else ever get into the mood where they just wanna dance and totally don't care if they look stupid? o.O Or is that just me? *sits in corner with doom cloud looming over her*

Wow. That was total spammage.

NYC

Fri, 11 Aug 2006 01:35:36 GMT

It's me! =D I'm still alive! Sitting here on a crappy laptop.

Anyway, I have no idea where I am. Somewhere in Virginia...that much I know. Meh.

I've spent the last 3 days in NYC though. OMG I fell in love with that city. Minus all the pollution (I just got used to breathing in that Manhattan air.) But overall it really was good.

I saw 2 shows on broadway. Rent and The Drowsy Chaperone. Rent was great. Great songs. A little cramped on stage but it's all good. It filled in some things that the movie left out, so that was good. Like Alexi Darling. I had no clue what the song was talking about before. But I get it now! :D And the DC was just a spoof on musicals. So funny XD Broadway was certainly the highlight.

I also did shopping. Haha. You can't go to NYC and NOT buy anything. All the stores there are at least 3 floors. No joke. Fifh avenue... O.O Wow. That's all I can say. Wow. Canal Street... best shopping ever. XD So glad I'm going back with school in May.

They're all so friendly there. On the Subway and all. And on the ferries (we stayed in Jersey so we took the ferry every morning/night). It in the end was really cool.

Well. I shall go. Hampton Inn Internet is wanting to be used by others. Until next time~
Oooh~ Found out where we are. Such a funny name!

You know, it's a good thing I don't have a PS2 or any type of game system perminantly. Because I'd waste all my time on it. I have done nothing for the past few days other than eat, sleep, go to camp, and play PS2. Yes, not even MSN or anything like that. Surprisingly enough.

No time for anything. I have no sense of priorities. *doom* -.-'

But woo! I'm going away in just over a week. Wait. Next Sunday. It's still close! NYC and then the beaches in Carolina! Yaaay~ No PS2! XD Just my writing. And the beach. And shopping. Hopefully. Oh wait. And seeing 2 broadway shows. ~~Yay RENT on broadway!~~

Kay. Going to bed. Camp is draining. Stupid kids...making life so hard T.T

A gift to myself.

Thu, 13 Jul 2006 22:41:19 GMT

No, I didn't get a gift for myself. But I should. It's weird though. I don't feel 16.

...

OMG I'm 16!! *dies* I'm so O-L-D! Withering away to nothing! T_T

Yeah. I'm done now. Going. XD

さようなら Camp NBB

Fri, 30 Jun 2006 16:31:51 GMT

I've been up since 6 this morning. Had to go drop my sisters off for camp. It was weird seeing them go. Cuz it's usually me going through those doors towards the buses. But that's okay. My 4 years at NBB were enough. I'm not going to miss it much. After all, people like Erin and Shayna are still here.

So I guess I half missed it today. Oh well. You know, there weren't a lot of people there. I was used to seeing a lot... but there weren't. Meh.

Nostalgic, huh?

o__o

Fri, 23 Jun 2006 20:23:51 GMT

Yay. Exams are over. Now I can go die before I see my English mark.

Yes! It's summer! I shall be all alone here in the city. So many people leaving... what am I going to do about my birthday? (I don't even think my parents will be here...) Oh well. The second year in a row I shall be without a cake in my face. (Unless Kirsh randomly pops over to give me one for ceremonial purposes...)

And on a completely random note. I finally finished my story That's Life. So long my wonderful almost 100,000 word story. ~~You were a bitch to me near the end...but I shall miss you anyway!~~

Kay. Done rambling.

Arg. I want to kill careers class. Who's with me? *dies at overload of work*

Well. On the bright side, only 2 more days of school left ~~then exams...but we won't think about those~~.

So what's happened with me lately (or in the past few days...) Oh! I went out for viet/chinese food today at lunch! It was really good. (Btw, thanks again for treating me! ^^)

Hmm. I have the Athletic Banquet tomorrow. Maybe I can steal Sophie's camera and take pictures. I love athletic banquet...well at least I did last year.

Okay. I've been writing this entry for 15 minutes already. Stupid careers.

Ah! Fault is on tonight! Law & Order SVU! YES! (Sorry...a little obsessive...)

CTFB?

Fri, 09 Jun 2006 19:03:12 GMT

Pointless entry. I'm at school. Doing nothing. Finished watching some presentations. Carmen just fell ~~almost~~ on her face making her way to the front. I had a good laugh. She's sitting next to me right now watching me type this. Hah.

Anyway. Yesterday I was at this Music Banquet thing. It was alright...but I think I was expecting a little more. Not really much to say about that.

You know, a few posts back I told y'all that if you ever had a problem you could talk to me. (So far no one has...but I assume that's a good thing.) But who should I talk to if I have one? Not saying that I do...but it's just a question. These last few days have taught me I can't really trust some people...even if I've known them for awhile. Secrets I guess aren't meant to be kept.
Well. I guess I can say something. Only Erin might get this, though. CTFB. Yup. He's back. Well, not the same one...but he's back nevertheless. I sigh at the thought. Perhaps we should have our Wonderland get-together with Sasha and Shayna and discuss it there. I know you guys won't say anything.

Wow. This pointless entry turned out longer then was expected. Meh.

Edit: OMG! How could I forget! It's Itachi's b-day! Nooo! Oh well. Happy birthday to him. And my little sis too. Haha!

Mon, 05 Jun 2006 20:49:04 GMT

I've been quite unproductive lately. So many things due...but I don't feel like working. ~~(I tell myself I'm going to do my careers isp, then make a wallpaper instead. I have no sense of priorities.)~~ Actually, I never do. But I think more so now, since there's only 8 days of school left. HELL YEAH!

By the way. Wilter, Happy birthday! :D (I wanted to say it at school...but I didn't see you.)

Oh. Does anyone know where I can download the .hack game trailer? I need it for my computer project. Youtube doesn't help much...and stupid Limewire doesn't find anything either -.-
Edit: What would I do without you, Wilter? I'm going to miss you next year! (So everyone can now ignore the thing about the trailers now. I got em.) ^^

>_>

Wed, 31 May 2006 22:03:49 GMT

Blah. You know...actually, I don't know anymore. It seems as of lately a bunch of people I know are getting really depressed or overly-stressed. I do realize this is exam time, but I wish I knew what was going on. A lot of the times I don't quite understand. As a ~~hopefully~~ future psychiatrist, it's quite frustrating on my part. I want to help people but...urg! I just don't know! So, whoever decides to read this, if you ever have a problem...with anything!...just please come talk to me. T.T
I really do wanna help. Really.

Okay. I just felt like getting that off my chest.

I really should be doing my English project now. But...ew. So much work. -.- So I saw this quiz and decided to do it myself! :D

1. Do you even know what Naruto is? (If you don't, just don't take this quiz.)
Yup. And anyone who doesn't, should.

2. Do you enjoy watching it/reading it?
Yupyup. I like the manga better. But the anime has pictures that move. And cool voices!

3. Do you like shinobi?
I guess.

4. Do you hate samurai?
Um...no...

5. How about pirates?
*shrugs*

6. Who's your favorite character?
I go through phases. Right now it's Neji! But I used to obsess over Sasuke, Itachi, Gaara... and themsome.

7. If you could spend one day with any character, who would it be?
Hmm. Dunno. Maybe Sakura...

8. Which are you: a Sasuke groupie or anti-Sasuke? 
Well, I certainly aint a groupie, but I'm also certainly not anti-Sasuke.

9. If you could be a shinobi from any village, which village would it be?
Konoha. Most likely.

10. What would your rank be?
Chunnin...I guess. I wouldn't like to lead a group.

11. Do you have a crush on a character? Who and why?
No, considering it's a cartoon. But I am in love with some of their voices. Because they're real people... *cough*SasukeGaara*cough*

12. Did you cry when Haku died?
Yes. T.T He was cool. He shoudln't have died. Though, I dunno what role he'd play in the series if he was still alive...

13. Would you steal an ANBU mask from a jounin for fun?
Um...no? But if they gave it to me I'd keep it! :D

14. Are you a Sakura hater or an Ino hater?
Nope.

15. Do you think Chouji is cute?
Not especially. I kinda liked him in the rescue-Sasuke arc though.

16. Do you find any of the following boys hot?: Naruto, Sasuke, Gaara, Neji, Itachi.
Well, if-they-were-real-people hot: yup, yup, yup, yup, and yup! :D

17. Did you or do you believe Shikamaru is the coolest thing alive?
He's right up there with the best of em! XD

18. Do you love Lee?
How could you not?

19. How about Gai?
He makes the teacher/student comedy work. Have to love em.

20. Have you ever sympathized with Hinata?
Yup. Hence part of my name.

21. Do you think Temari is the most awesome kunoichi ever?
I think all the kunoichi are the greatest! I'm a feminist!

22. Have you ever wished a minor character became a major one?
Kinda. Like Tenten. The fanfics are quite inspiring.

23. Have you wanted to touch the Kikai insects?
Hmm...haven't thought about it. But probably not...

24. Do you like the Kyuubi?
Cha! It's so cool!

25. Shukaku?
I like Kenni's answer for that...
But yeah. He's okay. Just not as great as the Kyuubi!

26. Do you think Deidara and Ino look the same?
Never thought about it like that... but I could honestly swear I thought Deidara was a girl >_>

27. Ever wanted to touch Akamaru?
Yesth.

28. Did you ever want to poke fun at Ebisu and call him a "closet pervert?" 
Never thought about it. But it would be fun :)

Kinda. But I choose to ignore it! :3

30. Do you hate Orochimaru?
With a PASSION!

31. What about Kabuto?
Yeah. Too bad. He was cool. Now he's just downright scary.

32. Have you ever wished Tsunade would get breast reduction surgery?
Doesn't matter to moi.

33. You ever feel so bad for Hayate, you just want to squeeze him to death?
"He's already dead, that I can't really squeeze him to death."

...What she said.

34. Do you think the Yondaime is hot?
Again, if he was a real person, most certainly.

35. Do you think he's Naruto's father?
So people say. I like the idea.

36. Ever wondered what Kakashi actually looks like?
Yeah. But I can watch ep 101 over and over and still never get tired of it.

37. Name all the minor ANBU, Jounin, and Chunnin characters you can think of.
I don't have time right now... but en.wikipedia.org and search Naruto Characters... you'll find it.

38. Have you wondered how Jiraiya's face markings have moved down his cheeks over the years?
(This quiz brings up things I really didn't think of before...) No, not really.

39. Does that remind you of Kiba in any way?
A little.

40. Do you like any of the Sound nin?
They were coolly drawn. So yeah. I did like them. But the Sound 5 were a little scary...

41. Have you wished there were more nin from the Cloud village?
No... lol

42. What's your favorite Kekkei Genkai?
Hmm. Tough. But I still like the Sharingan the best.

43. Have you ever pitied Naruto?
Yeah...

44. Ever think Itachi had a good reason to kill the Uchiha clan?
We won't know until either A) He dies by Sasuke's hands explaining his perfect reasoning or B) It shall never be answered, in which case my answer is: No, he didn't have a good reason. But it was good that he did, or else the show/manga would be on some other stupid plot...

45. What jutsu is your favorite?
Tough. But...the katon hosenka.

46. Have you ever cried for Gaara? Wished he got more sleep?
Um...YEAH! He was so cute as a kid! ToT Give the short man some love! (and sleep...)

47. How much debt do you think Iruka is in after buying ramen for Naruto year after year?
Put it this way. When he's off screen, he has bunshins running around doing odd jobs for him so he has enough money.

48. Do you like Naruto's frog wallet? Would you like one?
It's cool :) but I like my wallet! :P

49. Have you ever made a Naruto OC?
Yup.

50. If so, describe he/she, his/her abilities and their background.
I remember her having pale eyes, like the Hyuuga (actually I think she was a Hyuuga) and she hair purple hair. Other then that...I don't know. It was two years ago.

51. Do you think Kurenai is an Uchiha clan poser?
No...

52. Ever wanted to knock a cigarette out of Asuma's hand/mouth?
No.

53. Did you cry when Obito died?
Yup. Such a tragic fate for the Uchiha clan...

54. Do you think Anko is just a female version of Naruto?
Not really...

55. Did you ever wonder what it would be like if the Naruto characters lived in the present time?
Yes. That's what's called fanfiction, right?

56. Do you like making fun of the Naruto characters? If so, who?
"Then there is Oro: I VANT TO HAVE YOU BODY! /vampire"

XD Your quote is classic, dear. But Lee is quite easy to make fun of. And Naruto...and Sasuke, and Neji, and Itachi, and Sakura...and Ino... and...well, basically everyone.

57. Do you want one of those bows Orochimaru and most of his slaves wear?
Um...ew.

58. Have you ever wondered why the Naruto guys DON'T kick each other in the balls even when they have a PERFECT
chance to?
Um...not really. But it'd be funny to see! XD

59. You know all those main-minor characters? Sometimes their past is NOT unveiled; have you ever wanted to know what the hell happened?
*shrugs* Not really. I like the present.

60. Do you hate the pairings that don't make any sense?
Yes. *clears throat* Anything yaoi/shonen-ai/slash/yuri/whatever you wanna call it makes no sense! I want to bang my head every time I see them. Especially SasuNaru. And I don't like anybody with Sakura other then Sasuke, and vice versa. The others don't make sense. And any pairing where the characters haven't even met. Like Itachi and Hinata. What's up with that?

I tried...

Sun, 21 May 2006 05:04:48 GMT

I haven't posted in awhile. I was going to post some pics from our school festival... but I still haven't gotten them. Nor have I gotten around to the tag that I got from Kenni. Blah. I hate April/May/June.

I dyed my hair today. All it really did was tint it red-ish. I wanted blue/black though. Guess that's my summer colour then. Once this completely washes out. Anyone care to join me?
