| So I'm finally on summer break. Despite my earlier expectations that I'd be over joyed at the fact that school is OVER, I'm already kinda bored out of my mind. The thing with me is, summer break has always seemed somewhat of a chore to me. I'm not exactly sure why though...maybe it's the fact that for the first three weeks or so, I feel commited to my friends. I feel like I have to call them, keep in touch. It's not until those three weeks are over and people start heading to tropical islands that we can break off and have some time to ourselves.
I dunno what it is with me and wanting to be by myself. Don't get me wrong, I love hanging with my friends, but I'm pretty random and all over the place. I'm not going to be wanting to do one thing for a very long time. I'll go on and off the computer, play the piano, paint, watch bits of movies, go for a run and then maybe walk to the store. I like to be by myself so I can write and create music videos and stuff. I dunno why.
So what do you think of the new layout? Ain't it like so kick-ass? All white. And then green eyes. I guess I wanted it to represent me. For 90% of the time, I'm totally happy and junk, others I am seriously depressed. No lie. So I want this to be the truth behind my eyes. The real me.
So my friend Jac and I are going to an anime convention in a couple of weeks. Hurrah ne? We're cosplaying Maru and Moro from xxxHOLiC. I'm Moro!XD Like, le squee. We're okay at sewing actually. But for this one, with only two weeks till the thing, we're having Jac's grandma, who's a seamstress make them for us. We wub her for it<3 Le heart.
I'm going to my grandma's to chill tomorrow. Le hurrah. I'm going to write tomorrow. I swear. CHAPTER SEVEN! I SWEAR! OH BOY, YES I DO! I DO I DO I DO! | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment   |

| Well, finally after forever, I saw the first episode of Peach Girl! Hurrah...I think. Here's what I have to say.
I'm a huge fan of the manga. Absolutely obessed. So when I found out about the anime, I was hyped. I never was able to find a torrent file of it to download until today...three months later. With great anticipation, I pressed play. I had not seen any screencaps of it, so I was totally excited for something new.
So the opening theme (Baby Low Tension by Meg Rock) starts and already my excitment and happiness is disappearing. The music is okay, but it doesn't attract my excitment or get me hyped up and dancing about like BLAZE (the opening them from Tsubasa Chronicle) does. The animation is terrible in the opening. It's just so blah..it gets a little better around the chorus though. That's also when the music gets better.
I must admitt, the seiyju chosen is rather good. Momo's voice isn't exactly what I had thought, nor is Sae's. They are still good nevertheless, and do the characters their justice. However, I am entralled in Kairi's. It is exactly how I expected it, and I am totally in love with. Touji's seiyju's is good as well, perfect for him and exactly as I expected it. Although, I do seem to hate Touji more than I did in the manga.
As the show progesses, I am falling more and more into depression. Then Kairi comes along, and I am overjoyed and laughing. I love Kairi. He is my absolute favourite and the seiyju just makes it better. Things only start to pick up when he comes along. He reminds me a little of Beast Boy.
The music scores mostly just plain suck. Maybe it's because I've heard the scores from Tsubasa Chronicle, and they are the best I've ever heard, and nothing seems to compare to it. But the music scores that play throughout the show remind me of the music that plays when you build a house in Sims 1. The only scores that I liked were the ones that played when Sae first tried to get Kairi, the one where Momo and Kairi kissed (LOVED THE BASS), and the one where Momo rescued Kairi.
Finally for the ending theme. I HATED the ending theme. The music is so boring, and on top of that, the singer sounds bored. The animation isn't even animation! Nowadays, I know it's uncommon that ending themes are actually ANIMATED...(that's why I love Tsuabasa Chronicle so much...the ending theme actually has animation...although I don't really understand it)..but the pics that float around in the back are manga pics by Miwa Ueda! WHAT THE FRESH HELL?!
I am so sticking to the manga.
I stil love the Tsubasa anime. I like the character development, although I don't like how it's more slow paced. I love the seiyju...I was just about to say Sakura and Kurogane's the most...but that would be a lie. I adore Fai's voice, Mokona's, Kurogane's, Syaoran's and Sakura's. They are all exactly how I expected them. I love them. The only other time the show falters is the animation occasionally. It looks rough and rushed sometimes. But I can't blame them. I'm just so happy they got it out so soon...although I was very surprised about it...considering news about the adapation of the manga was annouced in January...I think...whatever...I don't really have any concept of time. Obviously.
AND THE MUSIC. I LOVE THE MUSIC. IT'S FREAKING HAUNTING. I ADORE IT. THE OPENING AND ENDING THEMES AND THE SCORES...I LOVE IT ALL!!!!!!

| There's ten days till I graduate. I feel the need to record these last ten days religiously. I don't know how else to do it. I need to pour my heart out, I need to get this out in the open.
I am constantly full of fear lately.
I am leaving my school...the place I've been for ten years. It's like this big, apathetic wave is washing over, making me go into an almost numb state. I walk around aimlessly lately, not caring about completely my school work, or calling my friends. Everything I feel I've believed in...seems to be broken.
I am this year's valedictorian.
I have wanted this award for as long as I can remember. It's been a dream of mine, to be the most steller student in the class forever. I am the most popular girl in the whole class, girls and boys alike love me. The teachers, every one, adores me. And now I'm receiving this award, and I get to say the closing speech. And although it thrills me to be able to do this...it makes me feel as though I am ending it. I am putting an end to an era.
I don't know if a lot of you would understand what I am going through. Our class is the closet class you have ever seen. This is breaking me apart.
The other thing that still concerns me is my parents. They worry me. All I wanna do is make them proud. I feel as if I'm failing. My dad just yelled at me about 15 minutes ago to quit yelling. I hope I haven't put him in a bad mood now. I know how much pressure he is under...and I don't want to make life harder for him. Luckily I am going to a party, so hopefully, if he is in a bad mood, I'll be able to escape. I haven't told him or my mom that I am valedictorian. I want to surprise them.
Here's a song that fits me right now:
Golden girl,
In your perfect world,
Is something missing?
Are you there?
Is it hard to tell if someone's listening?
Do you see the sadness in your eyes?
She's not herself these days,
She feels so uncool.
Wanting just to be somebody else.
It's time for a change,
It's time to make a move.
It's time to tell herself she's no one's fool.
If you
And you break it down.
And you're still standing.
It's not your fault,
You're not to blame.
Would you understand me?
It takes a lot of courage in your world.
She's not herself these days,
She feels so uncool.
Wanting just to be somebody else.
It's time for a change,
It's time to make a move.
It's time to tell herself she's no one's fool.
And I don't know why,
You feel like you do.
With nothing to hide,
It's all up to you.
It's you.
Golden girl,
In your perfect world,
Is something missing?
She's not herself these days,
She feels so uncool.
Wanting just to be somebody else.
It's time for a change,
It's time to make a move.
It's time to tell herself she's no one's fool.

| Nick would say I've hit rock bottom...I dunno maybe I have.
I'm listening to my Totally Pokemon CD.
I couldn't help it! It was just sitting there...and some of the music doesn't entirely suck! I like it! And besides, I blame my six year old neighbour! He was the one who made me play with the cards when I was babysitting...heh heh.
THERE'S ONLY 15 DAYS TILL I GRADUATE! HURRAH!

| So I'm stressed. Damn piano exam. Here's a little something that was interesting today. I'm known for making scenes.
So I went into Holt Renfrew after school and was in a totally bad mood considering school is teh stress lately. So I browsed through the Prada and the Coach and was walking over to the sales bin. I saw this yellow Kate Spade wallet. I was in such a bad mood, I rather tossed it hard back in the bin. And this girl who looked about my age is like 'You shouldn't chuck things like that' in this really snotty tone. So I kinda snapped at her. I was like 'OMG. I have a three days before my essay is due, four before my piano exam that I haven't study for properly and 21 days till my graduation and I still have no idea whether I'm valedictorian! I have the most painful shoes on, my mom's car got a flat tire and my hair is a mess!! I've been fighting with my friends and family for three weeks cause of all this stupid stress!! My nails are broken and skirt wrinkled!! On top of that, I got a 98% on a geography project and wanted a little reward for it, because I have been bending over backwards to get this stupid teacher to like me and finally I do something amazing to impress her! So I ask my mom if I can get this Japanese Language book cause my grasp on the language needs work!! THINK ABOUT THIS! HOW MANY OTHER FOURTEEN YEAR OLDS DO YOU KNOW THAT GET 98% ON A GEOGRAPHY PROJECT, ASK FOR A REWARD THAT IS OBLIGATORY ACCORDING TO YOUR PARENTS AND ASK FOR A BOOK ON A LANGUAGE!?!?! But instead of helping me, my mom spazzes and buys designer perfume for herself from Sephora instead!!!! On top of that, my friend almost died, my room's a mess and my dad got a flat tire today!! SO NEXT TIME YOU TELL ME NOT TO THROW THIS CHEAP, $137 KATE SPADE WALLET, TRY WALKING AROUND IN MY SHOES FOR A LITTLE WHILE!'
I can happily say, the teenaged girls and cashier at the Burberry counter cheered a little and a few people clapped.

| So I have a really bad cold and yeah...
I haven't downloaded a Tsubasa episode in days...:( Thank god for the long weekend! That also means that I have less hours to will away at school before Anime North. I mean, I can actually do something useful with my time.
Har har har.
I fucking hate my teachers. Except my history teacher. She pwns the other crappy teachers.
Watching funny weird Slade/Terra video. Laughing my ass off.
Have to finish my Mokona costume...I'll post the pics laters.

| I've always love Eriol/Tomoyo together. So here's a song that totally reminds me of them.
Your Glasses-Maria Mena
What could you possibly see in me?
Is it my soul hung out to dry?
I think my dysfunctional family has shaped it throughout my life.
What could you possibly like in me?
Do you like my ability to bend?
I think my fear of intimacy has shaped the time we spend.
No it's not you, it's me
and it's not us, it's them
and it's not her, it's just the way she moves you?
and she kisses harder then me, oh she kisses harder than me.
And I'll always look in through your glasses,
but all I could see, is the spector of me reflected
the empty shell of me, the empty shell of me.
What could you possibly love in me?
Is it the way I wear my smile?
It hangs from the tip of my tongue you see, oh this might take awhile.
No it's not you, it's me
and it's not us, it's them
sure it's not her, it's just the way she moves you?
and she kisses harder then me, oh she kisses harder than me.
And I'll always look in through your glasses,
but all I could see, is the spector of me reflected
the empty shell of me, the empty shell of me.
ooooooh, ooooh- aahhh, me, oooooh, oooh, me- ooooh ooooh, me- oh, oh, oh, oh, ooooooh
And I'll always look in through your glasses,
but all I could see, was the spector of me reflected
the empty shell of me...
And I've tried to look in through your glases,
but all I could see, was the spector of me reflected, the empty shell of me, the empty shell of me.
La la de da.

| "Hey Miss Nakoudo, are we confirmed yet?" LOL Stef!
Hate my geography teacher right now. I try so damn hard to get on her good side, to get her to like me, since she FUCKING HATES the rest of my class. But no, my attemps are useless. My friends and I often abiviate our names on streets, so I put Dee. And She's all like, 'DIANA? Are you Dee?' and I'm like 'Oh, yeah." and she's like "*roll zee eyes, heavy sigh* Am I supposed to know this?" I'm just like 'Sorry..." And she FUCKING GLARES AT ME. UGHH.
Take the quiz: "What Disney Princess Are You?"
Jasmine
Huge house, tiger, flying carpet, the heart of a man. What more could a girl ask for?
Take the quiz: "Which Disney Princess are you most like (with 2 new princesses)"
Jasmine
You are an exotic beauty who enchants everyone you meet. You love going on wonderous adventures and have a special place in your mind for all wild animals.
You are Jasmine from Aladdin!
What Disney Princess are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
I scored Jasmine all three times! Muwa ha ha ha ha ha.
Tsubasa rocks out loud.
Eight Days till Anime North.
Call Me a Princess
Call me a princess, I don't care.
Call me obsessed with nails and hair.
Only concerned with what to wear.
Shallow and so balse.
Go ahead, call me royal pain.
I'm unimpressed with your distain.
Let me repeat one sweet refrain.
Princesses get their way.
Other girls cook, but that's not relaxing.
Princesses make reservations.
Life's much too short, and lord it's so taxing.
Ruling these darn Third World Nations!
Some say that when I nag and whine,
Nobody's voice is as shrill as mine!
Daddy thinks I sound just fine.
He's in my royal sway.
Other girls study,
Why do they bother?
I study how to grease up my father.
Father's were born to pay!
And princesses get their way!
Call me a princess, I don't mind.
Selfish disgrace to womankind.
Some have hobbies, I unwind,
Watching how much I weigh.
Other girls for law degrees,
Some scrub the floor on hands and knees.
I'd rather have a facial please!
Shather her face in clay!
Soon I'll get married,
What could be sweeter?
To some Sailum or Abbudlah.
Whoever he is two things he'll need are,
Earplugs and plenty of moola!
Princesses write a check it clears,
That's cause they spend their wonder years,
Running to dad and faking tears!
Fresh outta cash, no problem,
I drop a snit and go running straight to my papa and everything's okay!
Princesses get their way!
BELIEVE IT!
Princesses get their way!
And so do I.

| Well, I just finished watching Tsubasa Chronicle episode four: The Innocent Vagabond. The first thing I noticed was that it was obvious that this episode is original to the manga.
Anyways, the thing that surprised me is that somehow this reminded me a lot of Digimon Adventures Zero Two Episode 13: His Master's Voice. The way Syaoran reacted when Sakura was missing was so similar to how Takeru reacted when Hikari was missing.
Ne?
More later.

| Well, my entire school is at track and field, and I'm at home! Oh joy! I am so happy! Stupid everyone else!
And now, about Tsubasa. I just found out about the anime! Holy! I am so excited! I was bouncing off the walls at about 11:30 last night when I found out about it. When did it premiere? April?? Well, I'm downloading the first episode, much to my delight. It's only at 23.6 percent though...and I have a lot of trouble using the new version of BitTorrent...for example I downloaded the fansub of Digimon Aventures Zero Two episode number 13 and I could never open it...I hope this isn't a repeat...
