Other things on the internet:
- A place that will make buttons for you relatively affordably
- A place where I could drop $350 on a quality button-making tool
- This place has kits too.... also for $300.

On an unrelated note. Nine years ago, I was in Creative Writing and Poudre, journaled nearly a page a day by hand, had never been to Japan and never heard of LiveJournal or The Prince of Tennis. Hell, I don't think I'd ever even set foot into Jo-Ann Store 1679. I'd also never played a male character in Cosplay.
Crazy times.

Why, hello 4 am. How are you?

It is now approximately four hours before I shoule depart my house for work. I am still at the Alley Cat writing my paper for China.
See, I have this problem. In that she told us that we would get time in class to write, if we wanted it... and then gave us - get this - 15 whole minutes on Monday. So now I'm about 1/3 of the way into the paper , took a bit of a nap, and have moved to somewhere warmer. I am continuing to work through it, but I would feel totally justified in sitting down in class and finishing it. I don't even know what she plans to have us do the last day before break besides take the test that she decided was necessary to supplement the unit summary essay. >_<
Anyway, I can't get home to change for work and stuff until the busses start running at... later, so I'm here.

Pac. Wars news:
I got a low A on the test I thought that I'd failed. I still know I could have done better writing about Tarawa instead of Guadalcanal, but given the time issues, Im extrememly pleased with the results. I also finally swallowed my fear and talked to him about the book review today...
Me: *waiting politely for army and navy boys to finish the usual war chats* Hi... um... so, I'm still working through my book review and-
Albright: Well, get it done!
Me: So, it's still worth it to get some sort of credit if I-
Albright: Just get it done.
Me: Ok, well, that's what I needed to know. Thank you. *flees*
So yes, I'm not doomed. And this was a huge relief. Which is probably why I was not in as much of a cramming mindset to hit Long's paper with a vengance tonight. Still, I'm much better off sleep-wise than poor Chris.

It's unreal to me how close we are to Thanksgiving already. How close my JET application is to being due. How soon my graduation will be, all factors willing. Must make my Rosalia dress for that occation.

What a night. Whew.
I did sleep some last night, it was just about an hour curled up on my bench at the Alley Cat. I've had the downstairs to myself for like... many many hours now.

Paper for China done. Answering the reading q's and working on the paper for Pac Wars is the next priority (just realized that I really can't ask him to look at it, because it's due in three days. But if I finish it, I may try anyway.

I have punkin bread. And Even-san (aka 'Mysterious' Trevor) works at Alley Cat, very late at night. Mmhmm.
And Austin McGee is really sweet and I've kinda missed seeing him around. He's kindof a Zjahai-type person... or maybe Kelley from Omega. Yeah, that type.
Anywho, now on to China Hands. Must go to Path by 1 pm.

Boys of the Moment: Nagayan and KENN (NaB's = love)
Other Songs of the Night: "Hi-Touch", "Nagori Yuki", "Reagan" (and "MILK", just 'cus it made me giggle)

I am... I mean it's been over 20 hours since the last time I woke up... so I'm focusing really well for me on that much sleep.
Heh yeah... I really have no idea what I'm doing with this source analysis. >_<;;;

Just need to finish so that there can be "Summer Wind" tonight... and it will be SUMMER. ~~<3

reieien, I will call you, I promise. Only my weekend got eaten and then there was this... Tonight after 9, I promise. ^^;;

[EDIT - 16:42] Done, done, done, done! WOOHOOOOOO~!

that I am a dork. For our oral interview in Japanese class ladyofthegate and I wrote out all our situations... and what better example of senpai-kouhai relations can you find besides TeniPuri? ^_^
Anyway, our situations are below the cut in Japanese... translations and further explanation forthcoming.
( Hey, Fuji... about our practice... )

5 is a retelling of Ikkyuu-san no hanashi... with Atobe as the kane-mochi and Ryoma as ikkyuu-san (he /is/ the main character, couldn't leave him out entirely, you know. ^_^ Yes, we're dorks. I'll tell you what sensei thinks of all this after the interview tomorrow.

I won't ask why. I know the answer. So... my last unit test in R&W was not not good. As such, I am not allowed to read fic for a week. Of course, this is after I'd just gotten back into reading after nearly a week without... and Liddell-sama updates. *sigh* Yeah, I know, my own damn fault. At least I finished "In the Card's" and "Circle" yesterday.
In other news:
The katsudon at the cafeteria tasted a little funny today... somehow not quite as good, maybe it was just in my head.
I'm sad that I have to take Seitokai Shikkobu II back to Tsutaya tommorow. I should have just saved up and bought it. *cries*
I am /not/ actually getting sick. I have decided this.
Assuming my money from Carol comes through, I get to go to an actual Japanese cosplay event this weekend. Woohoo! I have no idea what takes place at an event, but I'll have to read through more TB and brush up on my Hokuto-speak.
Meh, class now, whatever.

Which Saiyuki boy are you?

Take the Saiyuki Quiz at anime-doll.com

(of course, I changed the one I was torn on and got Hakkai, but I'll wait and let Kat post that pretty image. ^_^ I'm assuming she'll get Hakkai.)

Anyway... I don't want to babysit. I want to help Carol but not be over there. And I know I failed my matricies test. Really badly. I thought I knew what I was doing... but apparently not. I knew the first steps, but not the more in dpeth stuff that she didn't review last night. And I hate complex numbers. They're evil.
The cute opening song from the 10th Anniversary thing is stuck in my head... "Watashi no hitomi wa, sora ni naru..." *sigh* Yeah. Gotta go home now I think, then get rescue my car and take it to the shop. Then get carol's swimsuit back to her. Then maybe go to academy if I have time... which I won't probably.
Right. So... new topic... um... roses? Ah forget it, I'd better go anyway.

Yay! My essay is pseudo-done! Now if anyone has time off between 11:50 and 12 tommorow and feels like reading through it to give me a bit more feedback, that'd be great. If not, then my teacher gets this version. It'll be ok. Now I just have to do my math hw and study for the test on tuesday. *dances* I'm really hyper for some reason... shouldn't be. Seeing as earlier I was in rather bad shape:
( Glass is Sharp )

I just had a really creepy nightmare...( NDK Trauma )
Ok... I'll analyze that later, since I need to go to class now. I swear when I woke up the clock said 9:55... but apparently it was only 8:55... so I had time to write. Ja ne!

I was gonna post an hour ago. I was. Now it's now. I need to do my Homework. *shakes fist at Matricies*
I have stuff to say and I'm not gonna, because it's all stuff that only certain people need to hear.
Nick has cool coreography ideas. We should get together an early rehers to start looking at some of this stuff. ^_^ *excited*
