Houston, we are having problems.

I am so tired. I want to sleep badly. But, I also want to cover all that happened today.

  1. Nobou and his wife Yuki visited. They were very nice, I must say. I guess all the party crap was somewhat worth it. Nobou was younger than I expected (I think he said he was 36) and Yuki was really polite.
  2. We had to put Captain Call down. He was so sickly looking and the infection had spread to his eye. I don't know what I'm going to do with his (empty) aquarium. I don't think I'll get another fish.
  3. I lost my hematite ring! I looked all over my room for it and can't find it! I was in a hurry when I took it off so... I guess that's how it happened. I guess... at least I have two new ones to replace it? But I want that one!
We took care of Captain Call right after Nobou and Yuki left. I found out that my ring was missing right after I got out of the shower (to make deviled eggs). The way things went, which I can't describe here, it almost felt as if there was something more to what was happening. Like, what are the chances of my ring disappearing right when I get two new ones? and why did Captian Call, a Japanese fish, "die" right after two Japanese people left my home? And also, what are the chances of the first company we've ever had over being Japanese?

I don't know~~~ maybe I'm making a mountain out of a molehill, but this is how my brain works. If you'd been there, maybe you would have felt it too.

Like, maybe it's to show the cycle of life or something? To show a new beginning maybe. And Mom did mention that the exciting moment/drama moment was an example of how life is. (<_<)

I am going to bed right after I file, like, 5 pictures. I downloaded Morai Naki - Hitoto You and Say Anything - Good Charlotte today. Both were video extractions. I also got another copy of First Rain - The TRAX because my copy was "skipping".

LOVIES!

I keep trying to find out more about Shou, but there aren't THAT many translations and interviews out there. (T_T) Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong spots?

Anyway, I found this one (below). It's so good because he keeps looking into the camera with those beautiful eyes of his. I nearly died! (=_=)



Shou wants to go to Iceland?! Okay~~~ But Saga wants to go to Kenya? *Saga's respect meter goes up* Great respect for any Asian who wants to go to Africa. Major lovies.

~ZB24~

PS> In the beginning, Hiroto hits his lip on the microphone. I could make so many jokes about this! LOL~ Jokes like: His big rabbit teeth reached out and tried to attack the microphone. LOL~ *dies* But no, we love Hiroto. *runs off laughing*

SHINY, BEAUTIFUL, MEN

THEY'RE ALL SO WONDERFUL! I really can't pick a favorite right now.

Here is a video of Saga talking about seasons. I think he had the best comment. {If you go to the site, a translation is in the description.}



The "party" is tomorrow so I need to get some rest. It's 12:23. Goodnight.

~ZB24~

PS> I think I like Shou the best, even though Tora is really hot. One of his comments on another topic was a little... horny form the comments. LOL~ It's hard for me to overlook that kind of stuff, but he's still "okay".

Random facts: Shou has a lot of moles (it seems ) and he has beautiful eyes.

PPS> After seeing Tora's comment, I made a wallpaper of Shou (even though I LOVED LOVED LOVED Tora's). Shou's is okay, since I didn't plan on making one. It's a white wallpaper. I used a quote from NUMBER SIX.

GET OFF OF MY BACK!

Mom's been riding my back too much lately.

Yesterday I was selfish.
Today: Forgetful.

Forgetful becuase I didn't remember where the rag box was. {It's a dumb thing to remember! It's not a multiplication table for goodness' sake! Why would I devote that to memory?! WHY?!}

Selfish because I said I didn't want to have another party because [and she put words in my mouth] "it would inconvenience me". Well damn, if you had to sit around hearing about all this party crap you would be selfish too! It's annoying as hell and I TRY to be tolorant, but please know that my entire week up until now was fairly unproductive. TODAY I got something done, but again note that she was out of the room. Just saying.

I'm not that selfish. If I was I would ask them to call this whole thing off right now. THAT would be selfish (and crazy), but I haven't. Do you know why? Becuase I've seen how much everyone has put into this event. The whole exercise is to foreign to me and it seems really dumb. I just can't get into it, especially because it involves money. I wanna know just how much we've spent.

Needless to say, when they get here they better be hella excited. LOL~ [Half-Joke.]

Guren With Subtitles/30th Post!

Wednesday Update/SuG

I should really be in bed right now because we have to go to the store tomorrow, but want to post here about what's going on lately.

First, I've been listening to SuG. I find it worth mentioning that they're under the same label as alice nine. and GazettE. I started liking their music when I heard Love Scream Party. It's a cool song. I don't know exactly what it means yet, but I don't think it's too bad. The video for the forementioned song is below:




SuG came out with their first songs last year by the way. They're really new. {And the lead singer has the cutest eyes in this video!} One thing about SuG is that the name is a derivative from the word "Thug". That's not cute. (<_<)

I must have slept on the wrong side of my head again. My cheek is wrapping around my bottom wire again. I am glad I found some wax while I was cleaning. It would have been a terrible crisis to run out.

And I wanted to say that even though I'm not supposed to be listening to GazettE, I cannot let go of their song Guren. I don't know what it's about. Some people say it's about a miscarriage. But, it's a great song and I really love the sound.



Ruki is creepy, but I love 4:40! The little eye squint around that time is H.O.T.

I am going to go now. I really need to get some sleep.

~ZB24~

PS> I made a wallpaper of Tora last night. It's really pretty. Maybe one of my best.

NOOOO!!! NOT THAT VIDEO!!!

Mom had me "massage her head" today. I said I would do it if she played something off of my favorites page. This exercise started out fine until she clickued on the video of Gackt performing Love Letter. From here, things just went downhill. A string of video (some of which I hadn't seen!) led us to this video:



OF ALL THINGS! WHY GACKTxMANA?! WHY??!! I have nothing against Mana, but it's so effing awkward to be sitting there with your MOTHER watching this. I come across these videos all the time and just skip over them because I don't want to tarnish my image of Gackt. Hey, may as well be honest. I would rather not watch it and Gackt himself may want to put it behind him.

Anyway, the conversation between mom and I was along the lines of this (can you call it a conversation?):

Me: Click '(More Info)'. {Never seen the video before.}
My Reaction: (x_x) PLEASE let there be no fanservice in here! PLEASE~!
[Fanservice]
Mom: Is this a man?
Me: Uh.. yes. Supposedly. Yeah.
*watching* [Gackt gropes Mana]
Me: (*o*)(X_X) NO NO NO~~~! I HAVE TO GET HER AWAY FROM THIS VIDEO! "CAN WE CHANGE TO SOMETHING ELSE PLEASE?!"
Mom: (>_>)
Me: "I DON'T WANNA WATCH GACKT BEING ALL GAY!"
Mom: Oh okay~~~ Sorry. *clicks away*

This leads to a video of Gackt's dog, Belle. Thank God. Pretty harmless. I figured it was good to stop there, but I still had parts of her head to do. So I had her punch in a clip of Moon Child. *sigh* I barely made it out. *wipes sweat off of forehead*

The last thing I want is for Mom to see Gackt in a bad way. I don't want her to get defensive about me liking him so much, if you know what I mean.

I really don't like fanservice or yaoi all that much. (<_<) style="font-style: italic;">hot. But in general, I don't like it.

I don't there there are many things more awkward than watching fanservice with your Mom. (v_v)

CI's website has disappeared. I'm totally not surprised. (<_<)

That's all I have to say about that.

~xXx~ (aka) "What have you done Shou?!"

omg... *pant pant* *drool*

L-l-l-look at this.

What has happened here?! What has he done?! Why?! *falls over*

*points* Lookie~~~ OH MY OH MY~ *dies*

I think he did it on purpose. *crosses arms*

~ZB24~ (x_x)

EDIT: I keep looking at it. I feel like a pervert. (>_<) It's just so hot though! And did you notice he's got two moles in this area? *dies* You think they would have tried and covered his up, but it just makes him hotter. I have a lot of moles it seems which kind make it feel like Shou does too. Okay~ that's just a weird thought. (<_<)

EDIT #2: THEY LET IT HAPPEN TWICE!!! SEE! IT'S JUST SO.... OMG. SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE STOPPED HIM. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK. I really just want to drool all over. SERIOUSLY, WHY DIDN'T HE JUST TAKE HIS SHIRT OFF?! {You know I would have loved that.} Shou is so hot. They're all hot. *dies*

Me Be Real Damn Tired.

I watched MARS today. Episodes 6 and 7 (I think). They were actually pretty exciting. I got to see Ling ride his motorbike and Quilo painted an amazing picture of him. Although it wasn't very romantic, it was definitely one of the better episodes.

I spent all day cleaning the house. (T_T) I didn't get up until 11:30 and went until 5:00! It was terrible. AND THEN I had to eat lunch without taking a bath! SO GROSS~ It was like eating without washing your hands. At least the food was from Sonic. *yum*

I made a FFX video last night, which I haven't done in forever. It was kind of fun. I guess I missed the YunaxTidus couple. (^_~) Here is the video:



And then I also made a wallpaper of Tora last night, but I haven't uploaded it yet. (x_x)

BTW, the orthodontic wax famine has been solved. I found some while I was cleaning out my "toothpaste drawer".

Smile Ichiban Ii Onna

FYI, Google Video changed their website. I used Google Video for this one [even though I wanted all the videos to be from the same host] because Google Video has better quality than YouTube (generally).

I've been listening to An Cafe some and I really like this song, especially after I saw the lyrics. By the way, the one with the blond hair is supposedly a man.



Lyrics from lyricsmode:

Glitter venus beautifully Glitter venus goldenly
The one who lights up my heart is you, the girl with the best smile

Being jealous of that pretty girl If only I could be reborn into a girl like her
With the mistaken idea that life may have been a little different

There also can't be two of the same people I am only charmed by one and only smile in the world

Shine venus innocently Shine venus proudly
Brighten up this world with just your light
Glitter venus beautifully Glitter venus goldenly
The one who lights up my heart is you, the girl with the best smile

Doing your nails along with your gaudy make-up Even if you feel that you've become a popular girl
You worry that something is wrong You also don't want to lie, right?

If I can't love my plain self there's no way I can love someone else

Flourish venus pure heartedly The flickering venus is romance
I'll fall in love with you whom I love
Don't look at me with that gaze of your sparkling moist eyes
The one who burns my heart is you, the girl with the best smile

I want to say to just you, who was not afraid of laughing
And held your courage "You did your best didn't you"

Shine venus innocently Shine venus proudly
Brighten up this world with just your light
Glitter venus beautifully Glitter venus goldenly
The one who lights up my heart is you, the girl with the best smile

You are my sun

Another Thurs-day.

Hi.

I looked up BUCK-TICK today. Their music is actually fairly good I suppose. They're sort of... goth? so I don't like them that much. I do love a song of their's called ROMANCE. I put the video below.



I like the singer's nails. He's keeps putting them near the camera like he's showing them off! (^_^)

I ran some virus and spyware scans today. Each spyware scanner found only one tracking cookie. I don't know if I've had such a small amount. It's a good thing though. Like Martha Stewart, A GOOD THING. (^_~)

I also looked at crunchyroll today. I haven't looked at that site in forever. They made a lot of improvements to it and made the high-quality videos available to everyone (as opposed to people who pay).

It rained all day today. I figured out that this character: 雨 is the one for rain. Here is how I figured it out:

  1. alice nine's song 瑠璃の雨 (Ruri No Ame) means "Rain of Glaze" or "Lapis Lazuli Rain."
  2. I was watching Devil Beside You and Yue said, "It looks like rain" and I saw the 雨 character.
  3. Japanese Kanji come from Chinese characters.
  4. I typed it into Google Translate and it means rain!
  5. There's also a Dir En Grey song called 凌辱の雨 (Ryoujoku no Ame) which I like. But I don't know what it's about. I don't want to know either. It's "Diru" after all... probably something weird.
School was lame as usual. Math problems are always worded in such an off the wall way. Like, "12 monthly payments of $18". Now, doesn't it sound like they mean "12 payments in a single month of $18?" But no, they mean, "$18 EACH month for 12 months." Maybe I'm just weird, but I think it's phrased wrong. (>_<)

The rings that I ordered from Amazon shipped. There's a moonstone ring and an onyx ring. Gackt likes onyx and we're both Cancers. Cancers are governed by the moon and the moonstone is... a stone of the moon! See~~~

Me + Gackt = ♥

WHERE THE HELL TO THEY DIG UP THESE OBSCURE ASS PICTURES?

Like, you're looking through the list right and THEN there's some non-matching half-assed picture. that MAY or MAY NOT be what you're ACTUALLY BUYING!!! *slam*

*breath breath*

I have a gift card to use at this website. But, it's a terrible website I must say. Mom orders from them all the damn time, but I don't know how she stands this shitty site.

"MORE VK" & "HONGKI IS A MAN"

I'm working on my VK paper again. It's going okay and coming together nicely. I may need another day... or I may stay up late. But I'm tired okay?! I got a visit from the blood angels [Women may get this analogy] and so I'm tired. I want to sleep. Or watch something on my iPod in bed. I don't know how many times I can watch Devil Beside You. I think I need to replace it with something else. Maybe MARS.

Got a comment on my video When Someone's Wish Comes True today asking if Hongki was a boy or a girl. ROTFLOL. I told her he was boy and she went to watch the original MV. The whole situation was hilarious, but at least she didn't mean it a mocking way.

Got more paper editing to do, so I gotta cut this off now.

I'm glad I can post here so often. I hope I keep doing this.

SHOU ME THE PAPER!

Gah~~~

I had to print out Nobou's thank you note today and I couldn't find the paper! I could have had it printed out an hour ago, but mom put it in some obscure spot. *strangles self* IT WAS SO ANNOYING~

I got it printed out though and signed it too. I hope he likes it. The stationary has little plants around the edge. It's Hallmark stationary, if that matters.

Anyway, after I printed it out I logged onto Flickr and printed out three pictures. One of FTI, one of Gackt and one of Shou. I don't know where I'm going to put them yet, but hey! I earned it! [After I printed them out, I logged out, erased my username, and deleted all the Flickr stuff out of the History. I'm bad, I know. What am I going to say, "Hey mom! Look at these sexy J-Rock pictures I printed out!" FTI isn't J-Rock but... ah~ whatever.]

Now I have to do school and it's almost noon. *dies*

For The Love Of J-Rock!

So right now, I am just worried about the state of my fandom. Mainly because of what happened with mom, I keep questioning my own judgment when picking bands to follow. Reading all the stuff about Visual Kei helped a bit, but for some reason I still feel worried.

I think my main fear is that mom will overreact and tell me not to listen to J-Rock anymore. Or she might even take my computer. These things scare me! I don't want them to happen! I could just not show her J-Rock anymore, but I like sharing what I'm interested in. I see mom the most and have few friends so...

I don't know what to do! I feel as if this paper, if I can do it correctly, will really help the situation. what I want mom to understand is this:

  • Not all J-Rockers are like GazettE.
  • Not all J-Rockers sing songs with subject matter like Taion.
  • The one at fault IS NOT the Visual Kei genre, but the author of those lyrics (Ruki) and the people who committed the crime (so that Ruki could write about it).
That's it! It's not hard right? So I hope I can get this message across without mom getting all definsive and evil about it.

I really do love J-Rock and Visual Kei.

I generally go through phases with music and I want this phase to be a happy one. And I don't want this phase to end prematurely, either.

There are other things bothering me too, like how some fans of J-Rock act. They can get kind of wild and say some really weird things. It makes other J-Rock fans look bad when they say that kind of stuff. I'm not like that, but when people read it they will lump all the fans together.

There's also that part about how I didn't used to like guys before this year. Now I say stuff on forums about how "hot" such and such is. It's just natural I guess, but sometimes it makes me feel funny. (*_*) I guess I'm just not used to feeling this stuff so... [this paragraph has nothing to do with J-Rock.]

I used to think that there wasn't anything I wanted to take back in my life. But right now, if asked, I want to take back the video of Taion that I subbed. I really wish I hadn't ever done that. The video itself wasn't bad, but I had to many details about the background story in there. To be honest, I felt that if I took them out it would detract from the impact of the story. But when mom saw it, she got so disturbed. She explained to me how it would disturb other women too and said I should take it down. Which I did, because I realized I screwed up. Mother also said that I should stop listening to GazettE. At the time I was crying because it was the first video I subbed and I had to delete it. It was a great disappointment. In addition, I couldn't listen to my new favorite band (which also meant I had to delete hide the wallpaper I made of them). It was just a terrible experience!

And then I felt bad for days because of what happened. I felt like a dumb, stupid, terrible person for liking GazettE and subbing that video. I just wanted to tell people about the meaning behind it. I got tired of people saying the liked the song and acting like they didn't know what it was about. I wanted people to feel the magnitude of the situation. I wanted them to get pissed and take cases like this more seriously.

But after the video came out and mom saw it, I felt like it was a case I should have never read. But, if it really happened, why not? It's terrible sure, but it DID happen. It wasn't something I (or Ruki) made up. It wasn't some weirded out fictional story. I didn't get off on it. There are some freaks I'm sure who get off on reading that kind of crap, but I didn't. I just got upset. While subbing the video, I kept seeing it so it lost it's jarring quality after a while. But when I first read it I felt terrible for the girl and Ruki too, who must have felt sad while writing the song. And while thinking about all of this, I feel bad because I became desensitized to it after a while. But for real, how many times can a person read something a get emotional every time?!

In addition, my mother is very emotional in that she always cries at movies. She can see a movie 10 times and would still cry! But I never cry and movies and feel bad for not crying. I sometimes think there is something wrong with me. It's not that I don't care, I just can't cry over it. I cried when I lost GazettE, when I injure myself, when I get frustrated with school, and other such things. I sometimes choke up for movies, I guess, but I never full out cry like mom.

I don't understand why I am so confused over everything! This was not a big matter, but it has somehow made me question my entire personality and morals for no reason! and that's not right. Am I being too hard of myself? I AM a perfectionist (like my father), so maybe I want myself to be perfect. I don't know...

Oprah has a section in her magazine called Things I Know For Sure. Here are mine:

  • Reading the story was not bad because it was an actual event.
  • Putting the whole event into the video was no bad because of what you wanted to achive. But, you should have thought about how other people would react. It was a bit impulzive.
  • Not many people were affected before you took the video down, so don't worry about that.
  • All J-Rock is not bad, you just need to be very selective about what you watch and listen to. It is not too late to change.
  • You are not a bad person because you listen to J-Rock and subbed a morbid song.
  • Everyone makes mistakes. You are only human. In comparison, your mistake was really quite small.
  • You parents don't think you're a pervert, but they probably think you act without thinking. Simply prove them wrong. Keep in mind that your brain is still developing.
  • You could be worse. Just do better.
I suppose this has helped me a bit. It has helped me organize my thoughts.

*looks around* How much did I type?! I guess I will end this now.

~ZB24~

PS> I was showing dad alice nine. and he seemed to approve of them! He didn't say they sounded sad like GazettE. This makes me happy. [Keep in mind that alice nine. is oshare kei, too.] I think I will check out more Oshare Kei soon and see if I can find something I like.

PPS> Sorry for any spelling and grammar errors, I can't bring myself to proofread ^that^.

HONGKI CAN LEVITATE



































HE IS SUCH A DORK! *dies* How did he even end up in such a position?! This is worse than "old" Gackt! *dies again*

I just had to share.

~ZB24~

"Old" Gackt. But We Still Love Him.

This just bashes that old theory that Gackt looks good in anything. It's not true anymore. But, he really does look good in 90% of things. Because he's just cool like that.



I don't know about VK this intense, but it's interesting seeing the "old" Gackt. I like the "new" Gackt better. At least I can show him to mother. LOL~

You know what though? You remember those cornrow things that Gackt had during his Diabolos tour? Well, Mana (from Malice Mizer) used to wear big curl-things like that too. I think Gackt stole part of that look. LOL~

~ZB24~

VK Is More Cool Than I Knew

It's really quite fascinating. I think I like it more than ever. LOL~

I just hope I can paint VK in a positive light. Because, it isn't terrible.

But, Mom really doesn't like it.

I still regret that I showed her Taion with subs and the background story. *shakes head*

I just hope I can make things better, or at the very LEAST not worse.

The paper went okay today.

A Parent's Guide to J-Rock

I don't know who originally wrote this.

A Parent's Guide to J-Rock

1.] Don't worry, your kid probably isn't gay, even though the pictures hanging next to their bed look like girls.

2.] Don't get your kid an English CD for their birthday or any other gift giving holiday, they probably won't like it.

3.] When they show you a picture of their favorite singer, don't instantly assume that it's a girl, it probably isn't.

4.] If you walk into the room while they are on the computer and they minimize the window instantly, don't be offended, it's probably for your own protection.

5.] Don't be surprised if their total clothing and make-up style changes

6.] If they start speaking a language that is almost English, but not quite, don't worry. Its called "Engrish". You'll get used to it.

7.] Don't insult their favorite J-Rockers.

8.] When they start talking about Lucifer, they aren't worshiping Satan.

9.] Buy more ink jet cartridges for the printer, the more pics the fan has, the happier they will be.

10.] Don't be surprised when you can no longer talk to your child about anything except Japan.

11.] Be prepared to learn more than you ever had, about something you never wanted to know about.

12.] A man in a dress is sexy, no matter what you say, nothing can change that.

13.] Don't correct them when they spell the name "hide" with a lower case h, that's how it's done.

14.] When they collect scrap fabrics to make plushies, don't worry, they aren't practicing voodoo.

15.] It doesn't matter that they don't know what the singers are saying, don't bother arguing about it.

16.] J-Rock isn't a phase and they won't grow out of it.


It's really funny right? But I don't think my mom would get it! ROTFLOL.

I'm gonna go to bed now. It's getting really late. See you later okay?!

~ZB24~

PS> It's really awesome keeping a blog like this! I can just write whatever I want!!! *runs around in circles* I should probably make it private though huh? LOL~

You have to admit they're really cute here although Tora looks like a dragon. ROTFLMAO.

~ZB24~

LET'S GET TO THE POINT→

Remember how I was saying that my braces were poking me in the cheeks?

Well, I figured out yesterday that because the wires are so thin, I can just push them in from the back. This keeps them from sticking out and snatching my cheeks. Now that I've figured this out, running out of wax isn't such a crisis anymore! [Thicker wire is better generally, because it doesn't move. But then, if it's stuck out, then it just... out. Because you can't move it. I think thin is better here.]

I've been using my "toothpaste" too. It's hard to tell if it's working though! (@_@) I hope so. I'm pretty much following the instructions. Although... I may be putting on too much. That's good though right?!

New Forum

So, I was having issues figuring out skins using ipbfree.com. It just seems wrong to leave the default on.

So I tried a different host, forumotion.com. The skinning is easier, but I can't figure out the categories. Yet.

It's all quite difficult. I will figure it out eventually, I DID just start it an hour ago.

I have to go to bed now though! (T_T) And tomorrow is Monday. (TT_TT)

Wish me luck okay!

Here is my new forum: http://alice-nine.forumotion.com
Here is the old(er) one: http://luna.ipbfree.com

I like the "old" one better. It's just so complicated for me! And I've never done this before.

Like anything I do, I will leave it along and come back to it later. (^_~) Don't worry.

PPS> ALPHA (alice-nine) is an alice nine. forum. Duh. LUNA is for Asian music in general.

"I'll Fed Up." What?

This is the video that made me fall in love with A9 in all their greatness.

The song is Q.



I DON'T KNOW MYSELF! I'LL FED UP! YOU'LL FED UP WITH ME!

There are no special parts. The whole thing is special. just watch it.

~ZB24~

PS> No, I don't know what the lyrics mean. Yet.

*Sizzle*

If you're wondering about the title, fangirls will know what it means. LOL~

{When you touch your fandom man, he's so hot that there's a *sizzle*}

(^_~)

Anyway, this is true when A9 performs "Kowloon -Nine Heads Rodeo Show-". This is their "metal" song, but don't be afraid. They let their creepy/crazy side come out on this one. Which is fine, everyone's got one. LOL~

Watch and drool:



The whole first minute is really good and you gotta love 2:40 (even though I can't figure out what the hell Shou is doing).

Mom Meets My Boyfriend



ROTFLOL.

Mom just saw the Wonbin pictures on my board.

Mom: "Who is this up on your board?"
Me: "Wonbin"
Mom: "From?"
Me: "FT Island"
Mom: "Oh. Goodnight."

What I should have said:

"Mommy, that's my famous Korean boyfriend Oh Wonbin. Isn't he handsome?"

(^_^)v

Wonbin = <3

Another Exhusting Day

I am so tired. I want to go to bed right now. (u_u)

I spent all day in the garden pulling dead growth off of strawberries and planting lettuce.

It was windy.

And in addition mom and I got into another argument. Because my "attitude" was not right.

Well look, spending all day outside is not my idea of fun! And I don't know why you think it has to be! It's REALLY hard to someone to be happy about doing something that they don't WANT to be doing. C'mon, give me a break. At least I CAME outside. (<_<) So annoying... I guess in reality she's not THAT bad, but it felt that way to me. So there. Now I'm really tired. I just hope I can sleep in tomorrow. Dealing with PEOPLE makes me EXHAUSTED. PEOPLE = EXHAUSTION

My [Current] Favorite A9 Performance

The more I watch Alice Nine's Hello, Dear Numbers concert, the more I think this one is my favorite.

The song is H.A.N.A.B.I.



I really like how they all look so happy and make the whole thing look like fun. Watching someone else having fun, makes you feel good too you know? At least, it does that to me. Alice Nine always looks like they're having fun. (^_^)

I really like the part from 2:00 onwards. I thought Shou was gonna get too excited and fall of that step. LOL~ Not that I'm saying I want him to, but if he did... I would laugh and then feel bad afterwards. (u_u)

Fri-Day

  • Had Malt-O'-Meal for dinner.
  • Got Cherry Limeaids from Sonic.
  • Got into a couple of arguments for mom. Petty crap.
  • Went to DQ for lunch. I paid.
  • Went to Wal-Mart and Sams Club
  • Had pizza for dinner.
  • Got home and had issue with my adapter not being recognized by my laptop. Got an error before the computer even started. Rebooted once, still got it. Unplugged the adapter and tried again, worked.
  • Once the computer was up, had a little issue with OpenOffice. The Quickstarter? said that there was already an instance of OpenOffice open. Opened it anyway, went away.
  • Finished wallpaper of Shou. Ended up liking it better without text.
  • Talked to my people at LOVEFT-I on IM. Fun.

That was my Friday. It generally sucked until I got home. Then I saw scans from FT Island's 1st Concert in Tokyo Photobook. That really cheered me up. (^_^)

FTI = <3

Thurs-day

  • Went to the orthodontist, got the new girl who didn't know what she was doing. Her hands slipped and jabbed me in the gums with tools. Jabbed me in the cheek with wires. Was bleeding a bit from somewhere. (T_T)
  • At the same orthodontist yesterday. He {the real ortho.} took care of my tooth. Says it was the beginning of a cavity. Smoothed it down. Gave me "special" toothpaste to strengthen it.
  • Met up with my mom's friend. We went to lunch at a BBQ place. I had brisket.
  • Visited my great grandmother in the hospital for 3 hours
  • Had Malt-O'-Meal for dinner because teeth (and gums) were sore. Very sore.

That was my Thursday. It was okay, but very tiring.

My teeth cause me stress. Again.

I guess I'll just be blunt. I don't feel like being frilly and I don't think anyone even reads this blog.

(<_<|>_>)

Anyway.

I have a receding gumline. I assume it's because I don't know how to brush properly. Well, I do know how that's not the point. Execution score = zero.

And today, there is a little (and I do mean little) brown spot on one of my teeth. It's where gum used to be. Naturally.

Now, I'm worried about it.

And, my teeth aren't white. (<_<) So if they fill it with something, matching my tooth color, then I whiten my teeth... it won't match!! Because tooth whiteners only work on TOOTH ENAMEL. ^This^ last issue is what's really bothering me. It would be long term-ish. Anyway, these are some of the things that bother me. Sorry.
