hai guyz. name change. [Jul. 21st, 2008|09:30 pm]
Uh, yeah, I'm not going to be updating this lj anymore. my new one is the-rae.livejournal.com. that "-" is very important, as it seems there is already a therae account and it's not me. xDD

Yeah I think I'm really...ADD or something when it comes to usernames. But this'll be the LAST time, I swear. The reason is that now, my usernames on dA and LJ and whathave you are all mostly the same. Easier for me to keep straight. I'll be making a list in the other journal.

So yeah. Sorry about the confusion. xDD

Oh yeah, and Keelynn!!! If you're reading this, give me a call sometime. :( I haven't talked to you since....um......well I can't even remember. and I just remembered how you always make some comment about something I've written here when we do meet up, but you never actually leave a comment here. So yeah. And it's ridiculious especially since we work like one block from each other. Well, more than that, but you know. I can see where you work from where I work. Sort of. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

AEGRH. So yeah ok bye.

AN CAFE [Jul. 16th, 2008|02:34 am]
So, oh -- wow, I didn't realize the time. It's 2:30 already. I only stay up this late if I know I've got nowhere to be the next morning. That's why I like taking morning shifts cause it forces me to get up early and not waste the day. Well, that won't be a problem come fall, since I managed to pick EVERY class that started at 8:30 am...that's going to be fun.

Anyway...I was going to bed, but then I decided to watch this An Cafe video for no real reason other than the fact that it was right there.

I didn't really like An Cafe when I saw their CD in the store, they were a little too girly looking for me (and that is saying a lot, coming from me, who likes Mana and Miyavi and so on...) so I shied away from their stuff for the longest time.

And, now...well...*blush*...I've got another Jrock group to obsess over.

Gawd damn it, nobody told me that they'd be so cute!

Kay well goondnight.

So, yeah.

I'm tired. But since I don't have to get up early tomorrow, my brain is telling me not to go to sleep. So here I am.

I actually can't wait for school to start. I'm taking a lot of interesting classes this semester, mostly art related. This is going to be the semester where I really start taking this art thing seriously. Just watch me, I'm going to do it! I'm getting really sick of being a slacker.

AX was awesome as usual, even though it felt a little more detached than usual. I'll attribute it to the location change and the fact that I didn't do the usual 4-day hotel stay. LA is to far away for that! Plus I had work. I bought a bunch of GL swag, including this manly Kamina who is sitting by my monitor, pointing towards the heavens. Right next to Ackbar.

My cat is sick. :( She went to the vet today, poor thing was so scared. But as long as we keep an eye on her everything should be fine.

Speaking of cats Lacey's are getting so big. :(( Why do they grow so fast?!

I'm watching Orange Days again with Lacey. Shouhei is so cute, even though he's a womanizer. :D I love that drama.

Mostly I want school to start because summer is boring. :( All I do is work and sleep most of the time. Though work's not so bad. It depends. Though lately, I haven't been working with my favorite co-workers. Oh well...oh yeah, today, I was told that the higher-ups at my work think I have a problem with speaking up clearly. I know I'm quiet, but I think I'm pretty good at speaking up when I need to. I don't think it's a problem, at least. What bothers me though is that they didn't tell me and probably never will. They just tell someone else and assume I'll find out. That's just bad management if you ask me.

Uuumm...it's time for the county fair again, already. I'm looking forward to it. That's where Lacey and I first became good friends. Was it really only a year ago?!

I guess I should sleep... =_=

oh my GOD!! my computer!! it's risen from the dead!!!!!

now I never told any of you about this but about two weeks ago I spilled laptop on Book (my laptop, which I am now typing on) and it COMPLETELY died. like, failed to respond to anything, just...dead. and smelling like milk. it was really stupid and a dumb thing to do. i am still sore at myself over it. then later after the milk dried it turned on, but was just a blank white screen.

i already ordered a new computer and everything. a desktop, which I'm still going to take cause I needed/wanted a new desktop anyway. and even though this is working now I can't say how well or for how long...or what exactly was damanged by the spill.

so, yeah, like, tonight, out of curiosity, and getting my hopes up, I thought, "hey, maybe the laptop works now for some random reason" and it DOES!!!!

BOOK IS A LIVE!

although, it still smells like milk, the keys are INCREDIBLY sticky, and the screen is damaged from my hasty attempt at cleanup from the time of the spill. anyone got any tips on cleaning laptop keyboards?

I'm just happy he's working. oh joy oh joy!!!

Sorry for spamming your friends page, but I just got the most amazing wrong number. It was this man in thickly accented but understandable english:

Me: Hello?
Him: Hello.
Me: Hello?
Him: Hello, did you get my stuff?
Me: Um...who is this?
Him: This is the country club.
Me: Uh, who are you calling for?
Him: Ah, I need a cage and a butternut squash. (the way he said butternut will amuse me for hours)
Me: You have the wrong number.
Him: Ah, so sorry.


I don't know, the butternut squash. WTF. Cracks me up.

I CAN DIE HAPPY NOW, K? [May. 15th, 2008|07:33 am]

Geez, what's with the all-caps title? Retard. Anyway, internets, let me tell choo something:

I've touched Miyavi.

Now I know he exists and is not made up like unicorns and puppies. He is real! I might have put a fangirl warning on this post but I think you know.

My ears are still ringing - it feels like I'm underwater.

But yeah, anyway. Miyavi concert last night. It was PACKED. I think they severely underestimated the size - and enthusasim - of his fanbase in america. But despite that, about halfway through the show, I managed to get up to the very front next to the stage. It was so packed in there that you couldn't move without molesting someone, literally, so when Miyavi came over to the left side of the stage the pull was so great I was literally like, thrust foward. And I just stuck my hand out, as you do at concerts, and got a handful of Miyavi leg.

And let me tell choo this: If there is a heaven, I know what it feels like. It feels like Miyavi's leg.

I was going to do the stereotypcial "I'll never wash this hand again" thing but I smelled really, really bad so I had to shower afterwards.

But anyway, besides that, the concert was AWESOME. Unless you went I don't think I can explain in words how great it was. It's Miyavi, man. MIYAVI.

He played most of the songs on his Kabuki Rock album, except for Lacey's favorite which made her sad. But they also played a bunch of older ones, including one of my favorites, "Shouri no V-ROCK" Ahh I love that one. But inexplicably Senor Senora Senorita got stuck in my head ALL NIGHT after even through he didn't play that one.

And it was great. Did I mention that already? I started out on the floor with all of my friends, but about 5 minutes into it I lost them all and ended up front. Everyone was really into it, it was a good energy. Although, I hate it when people glare if you are bumped into them, or if you accidentally grope them, or something. It's like, the glare is not necessary. You can clearly see we have zero personal space here. If you want to go to a concert like this, you will have to expect some hands where you didn't want them to be. Also, what was up with that girl I was next to? She looked so bored, and I heard her saying that she wasn't really a fan. Why would you subject yourself to being in the front row if you only kind of like him? That's what the balcony is for.

But over all, good experience. I think I've lost the ability to tell what a reasonable volume of music is.

One two step, step by step da da da da lalalalalalala~

"My english sucks, but I don't care!" - Miyavi

Oh....and....well I forgot. Ah nevermind. Whee. I am so tired. I didn't get home until two last night and then I had to get up at 7 to take my brother to school. T_T I'm going to sleepy now.

Oh jeezy creezy. I haven't been on here in like, forever and ages ago.

Thank you [info]blackout12 for telling me to. I missed having a place to unload my internal monologues. KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Much has changed.

For example, that cat, the one I wrote about last time? SHE'S ALL MINE NOW. Her name is Dollop and we've adopted her into our family. And she is skittish and doesn't like to be held, but she's the most fucking beautiful cat on the face of the planet and she's myyy lovely.

Secondly:

I'm going to be in Anaheim on May 14th, at the House of Blues.

GUESS WHO ELSE IS GOING TO BE THERE.

Ahahahaha that's RIGHT.

"This Iz The Japanese Kabuki Rock Tour 2008", Miyavi's first world tour, and WE GOT TICKETS! I am so so so so so x 1 million excited. I only bought them ten minutes ago and already my parents are sick of hearing about it.

And....yes. So happy. So so happy.

Moving forward...uh...that's all I can think about right now. Hello, LJ. I missed you like a younger brother who I argue with but secretly think the world of. Hi.

So, college is cool. Way way different from high school, but I was expecting that.

Also I got my driver's license, finally. I'm not so good at driving though, I'm not really even sure how I passed. I really don't make too many bad mistakes on the road, but all the ones I HAVE made, it's been when Jennie's been in the car with me, so now she thinks I'm a horrible driver and won't get in the car with me. Oh well. Makes it easier on me.

And today, I got lost coming home from school and somehow ended up in Irvine, and from there, I somehow ended up on the freeway. I've never driven on the freeway before, so I got a REALLY spontanious crash-course. Let me tell you, I was fucking TERRIFIED. It was all, "Oh, Newport Coast, make a right? YES, I know where I am now!" and then, BOOM, FREEWAY. FUCK.

I made it out alive, obviously, but to do so I accidentally got on the toll road and just barely had enough money to pass, then I drove all through Corona del Mar until I found my way back to Coast Hwy. My normally 20-minute drive home took the better part of an hour! And, jesus fucking christ on a tap-dancing cracker, driving is scary. Driving all over Orange County when you don't have a clue where you're going and have only had a driver's license for a week? PRICELESS.

It was an "adventure". For the definition of "adventure", SEE: Multiple trips to emergency room; embarrassing oneself in front of a crowd; announcing one's atheism in a family of Catholics.



Uuuumm...and yes. I'm taking a piano class, I think I'm picking up on it pretty well. I can play "Jingle Bells"! Haha, after 3 classes. I'm trying to learn some songs by myself, but I don't have the whole two-handed coordination down yet.

I think I might want to go after a History Major, but I don't know what in the heck I'd do with a major like that. I just really like history, specifically like the ancient stuff. I really like the Hellenistic age and Greece and...yeah, Greek and Roman myths. Those were some crazy fuckers. Uhm, maybe I could become a historian and eventually be on of those talking heads on the History Channel. That could be fun!

Bleeh. Not making much sense. Jennie is right, I do need to sleep more, but I can't help it. I've gotten used to this weird schedule. AHHHHH hungry. I'm going to get fat.

YES. I don't have school tomorrow. Or on any friday, ever. I love college. Except the days where I don't get home until seven oclock.

There's a kitty in my house. She is cute, I love her, but she is not my kitty.

I NEED to get out of this house. [Aug. 9th, 2007|02:19 am]
So, I'm not sure if I mentioned this before, but my parents are on a two-week Tahiti vacation right now, they're about halfway through at this point. This girl, Julie, is staying with me at night as per my parent's request. It pissed me off at first, because I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself, but then I actually met Julie and now I am happy. She's nice, funny, has good stories and can make really good spicy curry (Indian style). Also, she's a neuroscientist. Yeah.

But anyway, I don't see her most of the day, and I still don't have a driving license, so I am pretty much stuck at home all day. This leads to extreme boredom, very quickly. I never thought I would get sick of having nothing to do. I WANT COLLEGE TO START.

But you know what I DID do today? I'll tell you. I played Pokemon Diamond. You'd think, maybe, after...almost ten years, I would be sick of this Pokemon shit, but no. Nintendo has me on a leash. It's not my fault, I was conditioned to salivate at the sight of Pikachu when I was just a wee grade-schooler. I WAS THE ORIGINAL TARGET MARKET. TT_TT I'm not sure if saying that makes me feel young or old.

But anyway. It's very weird, not having all of the names memorized. I don't know any past the first 150, actually. It leads to me and my friends talking about it, going, "Yeah, I caught one of those...blue...fuzzy things. With the tail. And the cheeks." and my one friend, who is much better with names, says, "The Shinx?" and I nod enthusiastically.

Enough about that. The real reason I felt the need to post was, of course, to use this new icon. Call me a slowpoke, but I have just discovered Gurren Lagann.

AND IT IS AWESOME.

I love it so much I actually want to buy it when ADV releases it here. And that's rare for me. But, I mean, I found that I like pretty much anything Gainax puts out. I really shouldn't like it as much as I do.

But, I mean, KAMINA. He has the best inspirational phrases of any anime character, ever. "Don't believe in yourself. Believe in me, who believes in you! *MANLY POSE*"

AND THE GANMEN. They are FACES with LIMBS.

Plus, Simon. When I was watching the first episode and still kinda, "eh...this seems strange..." Simon is what nipped it in the bud for me. From that first scene when he pops out of the wall, I empathized with him in a very abstract way. I even like Yoko, despite the fanservice-on-a-stick that she is. Usually the female characters in male-targeted anime bother me.

...cough. Sorry, got carried away.

I got in an argument with Jennie today. I was defending mecha anime. It has gotten to the point where me and my friends ARGUE about anime genres, and I love it. Anyway, she was saying she hated all mecha anime based off of 3 episodes of Gundam Wing she saw when she was seven. I tried to get her to see the light, and she did agree to watch Gurren Lagann with me (technically, that is a mecha anime, amirite?).

BLAH BLAH MINDLESS BLABBER. RANT RANT NOBODY REALLY CARES. I WRITE THIS FOR MYSELF.

I haven't slept much recently. Or at all, if you wanna get specific about it.

I shouldn't have left the house today. [Aug. 2nd, 2007|08:13 pm]
I've had...an interesting day. It was what one might call an adventure. Note, I use the term 'adventure' here to mean:

noun. an outing or activity that starts out fine but quickly descends into madness, and control is lost. It creates feelings of fear, panic, pain, worry, confusion, stress, etc. BUT the most important thing is that it must be a situation that you can look at after the fact and laugh, sigh happily, and say "...ah, that was an adventure."

So, what happened was, I woke up at one in the afternoon today because Jennie was calling me, asking if I wanted to hang out. I was groggy and tired but I agreed and got ready.

I saw their car pull into the lot - note, I live in an area that also hosts summer youth classes, so the parking lot is full most of the time - class was just getting out and they were behind a school bus. I run over to the car to tell Peter to just wait until the other cars had moved. As I say this they do just that. Peter starts pulling forward. The rest kind of went like this:

Me: ....(huh, there's a tire on my foot. It...kinda hurts. Wait.) OW!
Peter and co: What?
Me: Ow ow ow jesus fuck ow!
Peter and co: *laughing* Haha, what's going on?
Me: OW FUCKING TIRE OW MOVE, MOVE!
Peter: Oh, shit!
Me: Move, please, move ow.

They rolled off my foot and I got in the car, half-laughing half-crying. It hurt so much, but I was kind of mentally elsewhere, you know? Peter felt really guilty about it, and we went to his house to get an ice pack for it. Then his mother and sister came home, and this happened:

Peter's mum: OMG what's going on?
Peter: I kinda...ran over her foot.
P. sister and mum: OMG OMG. You need to go the the hospital!!
Me: I'm fine, really. It only hurts a little bit. I can walk just fine.
P. sister: No no no, that happened to me, and the next day, I found out I broke my foot! Seriously. See those purple spots? Those are where your blood vessels EXPLODED.
Me: *getting nervous* Um...maybe we should go...
P. sister and mum: Yes yes omg go now, hurry, or bad things will happen!!
Lacey: Oh, by the way, I'm Lacey. Nice to meet you Peter's family.

I was touched by their concern, really, but they made me paranoid. So anyway, we went to the ER and I got to sit in a wheelchair. And as I was waiting, my foot started to hurt reaaaaaallly bad. Like delayed pain or something...? I don't know.

So I got x-rayed and nothing was broken or sprained, just bruised really bad. He called it a 'colusion'. And Peter bought me dinner cause he felt bad. Then we went to borders and I hobbled around.

And...uh, now I'm sitting here with ice on my foot, typing this up. And it was actually kinda funny. I have to wonder how my day would have gone if that hadn't happened.

That was my adventure. :D

Besides the whole graduating high school thing, I mean) BUT I just got back from Anime Expo 07, my fourth year going, and I felt the need to share my experiences with you. There were good things, and there were...eh, not so good things. Here we go!

[Current Mood | listless]

Meandering babble below.

So I'm addicted to the internet. It occured to me last night after I had crawled in bed. I often think back on the day without meaning to, and I then realized that I could not remember what I was doing on the internet for the last hour and a half.

When I finally did remember, it was something pointless. I played word-games. I read my feeds. I spent way too much time on 4chan looking at cat macros. I checked my email a bakajillion times. None of this was really worthwhile (maybe the cat macros, okay, but that's a maybe.) I kind of was sad at myself because I realized that I just go on the internet to avoid doing things that I know need doing.

Like this senior project, or the three other essays I have to finish soon before I have any hope of graduating. Or even my laundry. But anyway...I'm trying to keep myself in check now, and ask myself, is what I'm doing right now really worthwhile? Do I really need to open that window to check my email even though I'm sure I don't have new mail since two minutes ago?

It's working so far, I only went online today to look up stuff for writing my paper, got distracted, made myself a shiny new icon. Haha! I will survive!...succeed. Whatev.

Ummm...in other news, I finished Firefly yesterday, and now I only have to see Serenity before I can safely browse the fandom without fear of spoilers. I love Jayne's hat. I might have to threaten nicely ask Jennie to knit me one like it. Because she can knit.

[Tags|, ]

I feel pretty lucky, work-wise. I don't have to work as hard as other jobs that get the same pay, my co-workers are more or less nice, and we don't even get that many crazy customers! But we do. This man came in the other day, and I had one of those moments where I spoke before my brain could tell me not to.

This guy was tall and bulky, had a football cap on, red in the face, ect. when it was his turn to pay for his stuff I could tell that he was one of those guys who felt the need to get in your face and shout when he wanted to talk to you and laughed at everything he said. I wasn't far off.

Anyway, this what happen, kay:

Cashier: Okay, here's your change, have a nice day sir.
Guy: CAN I TAKE THIS MONEY TOO, HAHAHA? [holds up and shakes our charity basket]
Me: You'd be stealing from cripple children, sir.
Guy: [leans in close] WHA? HAHA!
Me: ....uh. Nothing. Have a good day! Haha!

That was pretty much it. >_<

In non-work related news, I finaly jumped on the Firefly bandwagon (about 5 years to late, yeah.) and now I understand why all of LJ is fanatic about it. It's amazing, and please don't spoil it for me, cause I think somebody important dies at the end but I don't know who, and I thought that the River character was from Buffy when I saw her in pictures but since I didn't watch that show either, I got her confused with Willow since both their names are something you'd find in a lanscape.

And best of all, I finally know where all those "Mine is an evil laugh!" icons come from! You have no idea how satisfied this makes me feel.

Okay peeps. I am offically A Nerd.

My day was thus:

1.Go to work in the morning.

2.Stop by circut city on the way home to buy Labyrinth because you remembered they carried it. On the way out spot Final Fantasy XII and decide that yes, actually, it is worth paying fifty dollars for, you don't care if in a year it will be half that price, you simply can't wait.

3. Go home and play FFXII, making internal comments about Basch's manliness and Fran's butt and a number of other things you find awesome about the game.

4. Your friend makes a passing comment that she's never seen Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi so you drag her to your house and make her watch them. Cringe when she starts pairing up Chewbacca and Threepio, but realize you have no room to talk because you once considered Anakin/Luke, which from a moral standpoint, is far worse.

5. She leaves and you write about this in your livejournal.

So yes, that was my day. Pretty productive Saturday, if you ask me.

:D :D :D :D :D I'm going to see "Urinetown" again on friday. This would make it the third time, but I'm a little scared because the first two times were so very awesome, and this time is with a completely different production, so I don't know if they'll be any good or not.

But eh, for ten bucks, who am I to complain? And then, a month later, a differnt playhouse is doing Urinetown in Irvine! IT'S LIKE URINETOWN SEASON OR SOMETHING.



On a sad note... :( :( :( I thought I lost my timecard, which is BIG NO, but when I looked in my pocket I found it. :) SO all things ended well on that front.


Now off to work. -_-;


PS. Just because my last FOUR POSTS have all mentioned Star Wars, and I don't want to break the chain now: Today when I went to get food from the lunch cart, I was thinking about Han Solo (don't ask why) and I almost said, "One Corellian, please" instead of "One plain bagel, please"...I know, I know.
