Oolala.

I gots a new theme! ^_____^

I prolly might change it once in a while, because there are lots of cool combos and I wanna see them all. But maybe this one will grow on me (or maybe my old one has grown on me) so who knows?

Random post, so here’s a pic of me during/after graduation:

  

And another random pic:

Keep rocking, peeps!
And also, please, NO STEALING THIS PIC.
I swear, I can give a very long lecture about how immoral it is to rip others’ graphics, (seriously) coming from an amateur graphics maker.

JUNE!!!

June, I think, marks a very thin line between an end and a beginning. (Or rather, a beginning and an end.) It marks the beginning of a serious personal change (for the better or worse... ATM it seems for the worse D:  like losing rather important things and not knowing when tests are-- the tides had better turn!!! * _ *) and also the end of actual SCHOOL.
You know what? I honestly have no idea what I"m talking about, as to how a beginning and end relates to what's been going on in my life right now. But let's just check out mah schedule:

2nd: must fill out counselor form for FYI, print/email physical exam scan and scholarship form to Dawn Mikels, and send out all other forms to Purdue (including Getting to Know You). go talk to Dr. Kenner about interview. make sure times are set for recitals. ortho @ 3.30

3rd: finish writing paragraph about Dr. Kenner. collect class trip money. redo ss packet. Beethoven's Sonata for Piano, op. 13 no.8 - Grave MUST BE MEMORIZED COMPLETELY. ask about mandarin textbooks. HAPPY BDAY TO YUYU. 8D

4th: give revised essay to Swanson. finish log!!! finish majority of Chinese HW. finish reading omnivore's dilemma and finish the questions up to chapter 16. finish family food survey and analysis, organize pictures. pick up glasses!!!

5th: ABRSM recital (HOLY CRAP I HAVEN'T PRACTICED MUCH). 12.55 @ track meet. an hour piano lessons @ 3? STUDYSTUDYSTUDY. finish up all bio projects. finish up all chinese hw. shoe/dress shopping.

13th: practice speech. get dress ready for graduation.

14th: rehearsal @ 7. (for food >:D  )

15th: graduation before 12.

18th: MAH BIRTHDAYDAYDAYDAYDAY!!!

(And this schedule is going to be something I'm gonna stick with for the rest of the month. O_o)
We should totally have a party!!! *  v  * (to celebrate both graduation and my bday. did you know my golden birthday is also when I turn legal???)

I would say that I'm going to do Pt3 soon, but that's so overrated now. And some of my series have been updated two to three times since I last posted Pt1 and 2, so I think I am going to just restart, starting finals week. :) Hold me to that.

K THNX BAI. :)

Geek Chic

As you may know, I lost my glasses on Monday (I mean, WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS STEAL GLASSES???) and so I had to get new ones. I saw some “geek chic” ones and was about to get them, but I didn’t know when they would soon be “out” and what would be “in” (again—fashion repeats itself) next.

So I decided to PS myself with them since I would not be able to wear geek chic glasses. I decided to do some crazy stuff with it. (I might have gone a little overboard with the filters and some parts I was too lazy to look over and erase—the effects on the face are distracting.) It turned out nicely, and didn’t really take as much time (an hour—it takes about 4-5 times longer usually).

I ended up getting two of the same glasses (except the colors are different). I can’t wait to get them!

Pt3 is also coming soon!

~nya.

Windows Live Writer

Ok, ok. I’m getting there.
I’m going to post Pt3 sometime soon, I PROMISE! (more like, I’m promising myself that I will promise to post it.)

Anyways, I just wanted to post this since I had just linked this blog to my, ahem, “Windows Live Writer”, which came with mah aweshome Windows 7. Now I can blog offline! The joys. And it has automatic spell check too! HOOOOLY CRAAAAP.

And lastly, I just wanted to post this vid:

I had to download and edit/cut some parts for my decades project (2000s, btw). It’s pretty interesting, but a little confusing for those who don’t really know how it works. I barely understand it, so I hope that when I present tomorrow, no one’s going to grill me with hard questions.

Osh. (AND THIS IS MINE, STEALERS!)

Whistling

MUST READ
OHSHC fanfic, but is so well written that you don't have to know zip about the manga serial. It's M-rated, but just for violence/bad language. I forgot what else was in it; it's been so long since I read it. Brace yourself, and don't come accusing me of whatever insults you come up with. I SOOOO wanna write something just as good for NaNoWriMo. *Dreams*

Ok, I've neglected this for a while again, sadly.
I planned to post Pt3 a long time ago, but I haven't been bored recently. Coffee Prince, Avatar, fanfics... They've all been keeping me busy.

And so after hanging around LJ many times, I decided to make an account. I'm hopeless, I know. But I guess it'll just be an outlet for fanfic ideas that I don't really deem ready to publish on FF.net yet.
But it'll just be like another blog, and so therefore prolly completely pointless. WHATEVER.

HERE.
For future reference, I guess. Check back in a month, and I'll prolly have everything set.

And just BTW, I have two piano recitals, one for ABRSM (stupid mom for advertising that I passed Grade8) and one as a preparation for my competition near the end of June, on the 5th and 6th, respectively. (Whew. Long sentence--is it a run-on?) Feeling pretty stressed.

Listening to: United State of Pop '09

I should prolly be working on homework. Sigh.

I'm going shoe shopping/dress shopping tomorrow. I haven't got anything done, and mom's gonna be pissed. And I'm gonna end up deep in shite.

ORGY, Pt2

Main Entry: or·gy

Pronunciation: \ˈȯr-jē\
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural orgies
Etymology: Middle French orgie, from Latin orgia, plural, from Greek; akin to Greek ergon work — more at work
Date: circa 1561

1 : secret ceremonial rites held in honor of an ancient Greek or Roman deity and usually characterized by ecstatic singing and dancing

2 a : drunken revelry b : a sexual encounter involving many people; also : an excessive sexual indulgence

And #3 would be the correct definition for how I am using it in context. :P But #2b is just... LOL. Sorry, inside joke. XD
Moving on...

0 VAMPIRE KNIGHT:
If I had done Pt1 today, then this would've been first. But since it just got updated today, this will have to go in Pt2. :) Anyways, OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG. [spoiler] WHO'S THE NEW PUREBLOOD? AND WHY IS HE SO CONCEITED AND KIDDISH? [/spoiler] Next issue should be around April 24th, according to the scanlator!!! Going into the details, I LURVE the love triangle because both guys are so... Well, almost everyone is friggen emo in here, and all vampire-y (like Doty :D ). Except Zero is just dark and introverted--he inflicts pain upon himself because he cares about others. And Kaname is sophisticated and super mysterious. He has an evil past, which scares me a bit. Lots of development so far, so I will prolly camp out at SGK until they release it. Osh. :DDDDD

6 Shugo Chara Encore!:
ALALALALALALA. (I think this might sound like Tarzan, but it's just my fangirl-scream version.) Next chap will be April... *checks calendar*... April 16th!  The world is a cruel, cruel place for manga fangirls--what are they gonna do during Panic Week? ('Tis my new name for that time of month where NOTHING's coming out, since it's approx. a week, though it seems longer.) SCE on the 16th, then VK on the 24th. There will most likely be OHSHC in b/w, of course, and other serials. Anyways, I love how Peach-Pit's actually making an encore b/c w/o it, we would die! We won't let go of Amuto! NEVER! Kutau's really cool, never really thought it'd actually work out. Sooooo, seeing how the prequel to it was just action, I am expecting a lot more from Encore. Seriously, or else I would've resorted to writing fanfics, and by now we've already learned that me + fanfics= not a very good idea.

7 Hana no Kishi:
So this one's an interesting one. Only one chap out so far, about a month ago. I'm thinking chap2 might come out soon, but who knows? It's being serialized in Hana to Yume/Hakusensha so that's not a problem... The first couple chaps of a new serial is always critical b/c you never know if the mangaka is going to start a new series/continue an old one (like Akagami no Shirayukihime-- come on, mangaka! How could you?!) or if the scanlating group is going to give up on it. It's a little weird right now, but I can almost see where this is going... :3

8 Nabari no Ou:
Despite the whole schnazz about it being similar to Naruto and whatnot, I like it because it's a lot more relatable and has more slice-of-life. Now, I'm not a fan of slice-of-life, but NnO isn't one--it just is more rooted to earth than Naruto, Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, Fairytale, blahblahblah. I tried Prince of Tennis, but I hated the art and the seinen/josei-ness. Anyways, let's not start talking about shounen. Even though there are 65 chaps out already, I'm only on chap22, which is pathetic; I know. If it's not obvious, I'm not a big fan of shounen, so I guess NnO doesn't pull me in as much. There isn't much action going on other than Raimei and Raiko's battle, but her brother just took her sword away. Bummer. Not to mention, I can't even remember all the terms anymore, with shinrabanshou, ninjutsu, lalala.

9 Kaichou wa Maid-sama!:
Ohkay... I don't really know what to say for this one. I'm divided, since part of me is confused as to where it's going. Usui seems a bit sketchy to me, and Maria-sensei as well. She creeps me out... does she lean, erm, both ways??? (She seemed like she wasn't just, I dunno, lesbo.) And what's with the other Miyazono, the one that's a rich jerkface? I can't stand him! I hate scenes with him in it. And then part of me is just fangirlness, except maybe Misaki is a bit too tsundere??? Hopefully it'll update soon. I hate being left on a cliff with the Miyazono jerkface gracing the last box while the mangaka draws the next chap. *shudders*

Fangirl-ness Pt1

I should be studying for the chap11 geo test, but... let's just say studying was never my thing. ;P
Here I will be blabbing about my ongoing series. (in order by most recent updates)

1 Houou Gakuen Misoragumi:
Only 7 chappies out so far, but even so, very cool. :D I like this because this isn't so shoujo-y. No cliche we-bumped-into-each-other scenes, no stupid and weird blushing, no frantic and dramatic lovey-dovey thoughts. Shoujo is nice, but I might actually like this better. The only complaint for this is that this involves heterophobia, and this isn't doing much to the plot because it still lacks depth. I'll guess we'll wait and see... Of course, this is categorized as LGBT Character in a Non-Yaoi/Yuri Manga. I would never be caught dead reading yaoi/yuri, but I'm SURE the main character is going to convert in a ten or so chaps. >:DDDD By then I would've prepared myself enough for the incoming shoujo-ness. Masochists, sadists... UFUFUFUFU. * v *

2 Fly High:
Erm... Definitely not one of my favorites. Readable, bearable, but I can't really say I like it. This one lacks depth as well. The main character is totally happy-go-lucky and just goes on blabbing about how she's going to make 7th grade the happiest year for the students blahblahblah. Not to mention, how is it friggen possible for a bunch of 8th graders to rebel like that? Agh. *shudders* And of course, very predictable. She's gonna fall for the bad boy. DOI. The only thing keeping me reading is the love triangle. XD

3 Barajou no Kiss:
One of my new favorites. Love polygons, now that's new. :O And bishies. YAYAYAY. Bishies only exist through good art, so this is a must. Definitely needs more depth, and currently hoping the mangaka will recover from her broken ankle soon! Must read about the new development of orange and lime roses! MUSTMUSTMUST! OLALALALALA.

4 Suki-tte Ii na yo:
If you don't like smut, don't read this one. This isn't what the rating says it is, but it definitely is a step above your usual shoujo, and maybe even josei ('cause afterall, the only difference b/w josei and shoujo is swear words). The art style is a bit like Five, but it's MUCHMUCH better, and the characters are actually skinny, unlike most smuts. It has some depth, but I'm hoping for some more character development. Not much atm; gonna keep reading before I decided whether I like it or not.

5 Watashi ni XX Shinasai:
There were some character developements... Art is nice, love triangle developed, but... Eh, I don't know. It interests me, but the MC is such a n00b at this--its weird seeing her blush and wonder why her "chest hurts". Jeolousy. DOI. A couple chapters have come out now, but Nagareboshi is a bit slow, so...
