    <content type="html">So yeah, I just beat Final Fantasy 12 XDD wtf... the ending? yeah.. they didn't, YOU KNOW..  does it seem slightly wtf to anyone else? ahh I'd *heard* from someone *coughROMANcough* that someone he knows has been playing it for 170 hrs. Well I just beat it in a little over 80 w/o the guide on anything except a few hunts I couldn't figure out. I didn't get all the hunts done but that's bc I didn't know I was headed toward the final battle tho I was getting suspicious. So yeah, there's more to do but that means I might be higher leveled and the end will be that much easier.. wtf. XDDD;;  ahh it was good though. I like this game. I can't wait for the sequel something 'wings' to come out, I think it's on DS too so I'm all good 8D  This FF gets the Ko stamp of approval!</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cosplay Entry&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/kotsuki/cosplay/macabre7.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I started on Macabre Toshiya today.. any of you I chat cosplay with probably know I've been dying to do this for quite awhile, so I am excited. I didn't get TOO much done today but at least I think I know what direction to go in. I figured I'd keep some journal entries going about my progress to keep myself motivated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/kotsuki/cosplay/macabre1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/kotsuki/cosplay/macabre2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I started out with these materials, some black chiffon, lyrca, pvc, interfacing, and some fiber fill. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/kotsuki/cosplay/macabre3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I made a mock up out of cheap cotton to know exactly where to go and it came out well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/kotsuki/cosplay/macabre5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is all I've gotten done today as far as PVC goes, boobs :3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/kotsuki/cosplay/macabre6.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also make great hats... "Ko's PVC yamakas! FOr the Jew... in YOU!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully there'll be more tomorrow! </content>

    <content type="html">It's funny watching ppl fight over h.naoto stuff on ebay.. they think that just bc something starts at $0.99 that they should pounce on it simultaneously after it's only been up for 12 hrs.. Hellllllllooo... it wouldn't cost $200 for a pair of pants if you guys would just wait til towards the END of the auction. Narf. :P &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*ANYWAY*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On July 6th I went to Chicago, met up with Saki and we went to The Taste of Chicago. I was soooooorely unimpressed and it was way smaller than I figured it would be. One of the first ppl I ran into was this bitch at the drink stand who treated me like shit just bc I am white and she is black. She was nice to the black lady next to me and really snarky to me. I wanted to chuck my pepsi bottle at her fat head but I called her a bitch as I walked off. Anyway, despite all that I actually had a lot of fun. We walked around and ate.. and ate some more bc that's all you do there. I got to try a lot of different things but nothing really new and none of it was 'FANTASTIC!!!' or anything. Saw some girl with a Dir en grey shirt, the one with the zombie soldier, so Saki and I debated on whether she was a real jrock fan or just shops at Hot Topic and thought it was cool looking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then we walked thru downtown.. ahh the memories &amp;hearts;  It was fun and we wound up at the Sanrio store where we bought matching Cinnamoroll bento boxes, chopstick sets and random other things. I so could have spent sooooo much more there but didn't thankfully. This umbrella was only $7.60, can you believe that?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://img406.imageshack.us/my.php?image=07060619yr.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/8295/07060619yr.th.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://img149.imageshack.us/my.php?image=07060632gd.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/268/07060632gd.th.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that we wandered around and wound up at Borders where we read manga for bit. Then it was off to dinner at Kyoto where we had a discussion with the waitress we always talk to, about pencil cases and cute stuff. I really should find out her name, we talk to her enough after all! Later I went home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the 8th, Saki came to visit me bc I didn't really feel like fighting with ppl on the trains bc it was going to be so busy with the Taste going on. We went and saw PotC 2 (Pot-Sy 2.... XDDD). It was good but basically more of the first.. only slightly not as good.. dunno. I think it's getting cheesey or something. It went on and on and on too.. it's over 2 hrs long o_0; Still it was fun and I wasn't expecting that ending. Will definitely go see no. 3. Then we went to Hot Topic.. saw more of the same nothing and ended up going back to PetCo.. where we adopted our first child, Totoro the chinchilla... XDDD omg he's so cute. My mom can't seem to remember his name though. She's called him Rotoro and Todoku and all sorts of things besides his name... XDDD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://imageshack.us"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/4291/totoro18qd.jpg" border="0" width="283" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Found out today the rest of my credits transfered to DePaul too.. so I'm happy about that. Now to finish the placement exams, sign up for Premiere and to figure out this plus loan thing!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;heheh ok, I'm done. off to work!</content>

    <content type="html">hahahaha I love my Psych 120 class.. it's so entertaining, mostly bc Dr. Edwards is quite a funny woman 8D Most entertaining stories are about &lt;s&gt;the whackos&lt;/s&gt; her patients, including the one she told us today. We're discussing disorders atm and this story was to help explain the difference between Bipolar that ppl think they know and real manic moods. Apparently, she used to manage a house for men with mental disorders and on the Good Friday before Easter one year she got a call from the cops saying that they think they had one of 'her's' that had escaped.. apparently this guy was suffering from a manic state, had wrapped himself in a bed sheet and was standing on top of a building with 2 crusifixes, one made out of 2 broom handles and another was an actual crusifix he'd duct taped to the top of it and was proclaiming to be the son of god... *(_ _)*_'''' ROFLAOS. Needless to say the cops let Edwards handle him and she lured him back inside the building by telling him she felt like god didn't love her anymore... XDDDDD!!!! omg.. it was really hilarious when she told it.. I'm not capable of recreating it. Yesyes, and then I'm sure they hauled his ass back off to the happy place with padded walls.. *snort*</content>

She came to visit me as usual and we went out to the local Hot Topic bc I've been hunting some new REAL black eyeshadow (which wtf, it seems my HT doesn't carry it anymore but that's another story) and we like to look around HT on the odd chance they have something decent. We were decked out in our h.ANARCHY outfits so of course we looked a bazillion times better than anyone else in there, but alas that is also another story (-o-)/ Anyway, after browsing for awhile and getting the only black eyemakeup I could find, called Eye Smudge (don't get it, it's crap and DOES NOT COME OFF) the girl checking us out, who btw, looked like she might have belonged in Abercrombie (how do those types keep ending up in HT?!) said, "Do you guys read Cure?". Saki and I exchanged glances and didn't say anything for a minute.. I mean.. we were aghast that someone had recognized us. Then I said, "OMG some recongized us. Yes, we do like that.. type of music."&lt;br /&gt;Her: "Yeah, I thought so. You guys are so stylish. I like to look at it but I can't read it."&lt;br /&gt;Me: "Neither can I, but she can. *points to Saki*"&lt;br /&gt;She also told us about this store on Clark St. called '99th Floor' or something by the Pink Frog. Sounds like they might have useful clothes so we'll have to check that next time too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's not only odd to be recongized but in this freaking podunk middle of nowhere place.. I've seen lolitas in Chicago though, I want to wear my h.Naoto Blood outfit out some weekend. I want to start carrying a camera with me too... I mean.. Clark St. is interesting and hell, we saw furries IN PUBLIC in the subway station the first weekend I was there XDD I'm just dying to go back! I've been too busy with school lately, but soon, SOOOOOOOOOON!! I shall return!! &amp;gt;:D</content>

    <content type="html">So, life's the same old, same old. Nothing to really say, besides random tidbits. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Schoolwise: I think 5 classes is just too many.. I have a life outside of school, work, travel time, friends I like to be with, and hobbies. I don't have time for any of that. I'm struggling with school because I simply do not have time to do all this homework and it's been like this since the beginning of the semester. I dunno if I'm going to pass my math class.. and if I do it probably will not be a pretty grade. there goes my 3.67 :D;;;  Also filling out an app to DePaul and need to do so for a few other colleges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Work: It's boring, can't stand it, can't believe I've been there for over a year and so on. Look, I was bored last night so I drew this unicorn/pegasus/lion thinger (O_o)-&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://imageshack.us"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/2575/uni18ki.jpg" border="0" width="171" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ehhh it's kinda cute, not bad for not having drawn for a long time and I've never tried cats before.. legs look weird. Oh wells. I also tried to give the drawing a slightly more stylized look.. it was hard! Oohh! And I got a $100 yearly bonus, yays, even tho it's totally already gone about 5 times over :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ACenwise: It's just slightly over a month away.. yays! I can't wait and that's the weekend after school ends, what a present! XD Costumes not really anymore done.. need to work on that damn shinya wig.. that's going to be a bitch to get how I want XP  Worked on Saki's Shin kimono this past weekend, despite a few mishaps I think it's coming out well. I love the fabric and I think it was good choice we made to get it. Now I want to go back and get about 10bazillion more yards of it for gothic lolita dresses.. it was only $1.99 a yard XDD  Hmm and I guess as long as I can get a hold of Elden, I'll work for him again a bit at ACen. He said I could choose any 3 dresses I want from the Bodyline site and I he'd get them for me to wear at ACen.. but he doesn't know I'm not working full time yet, so I feel bad. Have to talk to him about that. Also, I think I'm going to enter the Gothic and Lolita Fashion Show this year. I think I'll wear my h.Naoto Blood dress and shrug. As soon as it gets here and so do the shoes, I'll take a picture. I need to make some accessories too. hm.. I think it'll be cool! I have ideas, oh noes! &amp;gt;:D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of which, Saki spent her spring break at my house.. being terribly bored I presume. I wasn't here half of the time with work and school but she did go to school with me one day.. and fell asleep! Also, I think we've come to the mutal agreement that I am going to make fun of her for making random Japanese sound effects and she's going to make fun of me about the 'space button' bc :P&lt;br /&gt;*earlier*&lt;br /&gt;me: f(o_O) *trying to text msg on ma phone* I don't get it, how do you get spaces in the messages?&lt;br /&gt;saki: (o.0);;;; *looks and points* ...with the button that says 'space'...? *poink*&lt;br /&gt;me: (¬.¬);;; *snatch* shutup! gimme that!&lt;br /&gt;saki: XDDDD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We bleached her hair this weekend too, now it looks like Kanon's from An Cafe, so I hope she's happily on her way to be slightly more like a pretty boy XD Now it's got me thinking about bleaching my own hair.. it was easy and way cheaper than going to a salon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time is going to change soon.. I'll have to go to work and school an hour earlier.. I no like that even tho it makes more sense for us to be on time with Chicago than freaking NEW YORK XP  LOL guess we are no longer special and have our own time zone.</content>

    <content type="html">As I have told a few ppl.. I'm starting to feel kind of lame about ACen this eyar.. Most of my friends have new costumes and I'm mostly going to be wearing my old ones again that still aren't finished and new ones that might not be finished, ect. T_T Everyone's going to be cool and I'm going to be a repeat!! So far everyone told me 'you're so busy tho!'. Am I really? I'd like to think I am.. otherwise I'm just a really big lazy ass o_0;;; So anyway, here's my current list of costumes possible for ACen:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dir en grey&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Toshiya&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Schwein no Isu (70%) &lt;i&gt;- The only thing I've done to this costume since last year is added some beading along the bottom... *headdesk*&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Raison D'etre (80%) &lt;i&gt;- well I got the shrug finished but the neckpeice disappeared and I still have to make the butt bow. I hope I have enough pvc left&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Myaku (10%) &lt;i&gt;- The sleeves are being a bitch for some reason and don't want to cooperate. Have most of the material tho and it looks like it's going to turn out well.. I hope --;;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Shinya&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cage (80%) &lt;i&gt;- It's almost done, can't find that damn belt tho XP. Waiting for the wig to get here so I can style it&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Myaku (0%) &lt;i&gt;- Have the fur, pondering fabric choices, to go with what I like or to go for accuracy? that is the question!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Others&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Akiya, original indies (100%?) &lt;i&gt;- it's just bits of stuff I have already XD;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nao, Nue (10%) &lt;i&gt;- UGH.. someDAY I will finish this costume&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jun, Mikansei to Guilt (0%) &lt;i&gt;- I love this costume, I want it&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Raspberry Lolita dress &amp; Gothic Lolita dress (0%) &lt;i&gt;-yeah I haven't exactly had time for these yet&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's probably more that I've started on and forgot about.. XD;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ones that will hopefully be ready for ACen:&lt;br /&gt;Toshiya Myaku, RD, SnI&lt;br /&gt;Shinya Cage&lt;br /&gt;Akiya&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5 costumes for 1 full day and 2 half days.. hahaha omg.. no time. XD; and I don't like wearing them over again.. but you know what? After all the time/thought/money/effort I put into these costume I'd BETTER wear them lots and lots and lots. Saki and I will hopefully be going fabric shopping this weekend. I'm hoping I can find some good pleather and pvc so I don't have to order it online and pay shipping. that kills X_x;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*sigh* off to work now.</content>

    <content type="html">Ya know.. I have something I feel the urge to bitch about. :o  &lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;As a person, I do not have many things I absolutely cannot stand or like, also known as 'hating' something. I'm really not picky.. but there is one thing I *do* hate and that is in fact the word 'hate' itself. I'm serious. If there was one word that I would stomp out of existance, that would be the one. I despise this word bc when I think of 'hate' I think of death or killing or destroying something as completely as possible. As you might guess (correctly) I am also rather annoyed by its over use and abuse by &lt;i&gt;some&lt;/i&gt; people on the internet who think that having a list of 'hates' on their profiles makes them cool.. or something. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will simply use the US as an example since it's where I'm from and well, we do get picked on a lot bc of the manyyy contreversial things that those in power decide the 'entire country' wants to do. :coughgotowarcough:  So anyway, I don't even want to think about how many times I've seen 'America(ns)/US' on these self proclaimed 'haters' lists. Put simply and flatly.. I just do not get it, I cannot &lt;b&gt;comprehend&lt;/b&gt; IT. It is soooooo far beyond my ability to precieve that I just kind of stare blankly back at the screen. This hatred of an entire country, its customs and most importantly its people (all of whom I'm sure these ppl have never met, and how can you hate someone passionately w/o having known they exist at all? Can we say hypocrisy?!!) is revolting and repulsive to me. I suppose it's worth mentioning that most of the US haters I've seen are European, if that makes any difference. I do not see how one can logically hate an entire country or race if you have a. never been there, b. tried to live there and be part of the society and c. have not met every single person in the country (bc let's face it, I bet you could find at LEAST one person you could be super best friends with in any country). I also hope these people realize that a. following the above logic, hating an entire country makes you look extremely ignorant, b. it also makes you a racist and bigot which is sooooooo not politically correct these days and c. this same kind of 'hate' thinking is what has lead to genocides and 'ethnic cleansings', aka the murder of thousands of Jews, Gypsies, Chinese and so forth in some of the most well known genocides of WWII.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, World War II. Thousands of people died bc idiots like you thought it was cool to hate a large number of people without even really knowing them. You make me sick. Personally, I don't hate anyone. I don't think anyone's worth the effort and energy it would take me to hate them passionately. I really don't care if you want to go on 'hating' the US bc McD's is evil and Wal-mart is the largest corporation in the world or even if you want to hate another country. Just be prepared to be treated like the idiot you are and for me to have very little patience with you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Maybe I'll hate everyone with black hair.. Now what bitch? Aren't I cooler than you bc now I can hate people from eeeeeeeevery country simultaniously!' Really now, this is the same thing only dumbed down to show how ridiculous generalizing and hating a large group *IS*.</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; So here goes, Ok, I had just gotten home from my bass lessons, I got out of the car, picked up my coat, book and bass and was heading up to the house. On the way I got distracted by some milk weed plants, or rather their seed pods that dry up and release these weightless seeds attatched to fuzzy white flaoter things.. they drift really far in the wind and it just happened to be a very windy day. I saw this and of course.. 'OOH FUZZIES!! ( ^o^)/*\' and played around with them for awhile until they had all drifted off. Soooo.. I continue up to the house, get to the porch and realize I can't find my damn purse. So, I set my book down and then walk over to a chest and set my bass against it so it won't fall while I look around. I'm looking all over the place and looking and looking and starting to get pissed bc my house keys are in there so I can't get in. I go back to the car, back to the weeds, look around and around. Nothing. Starting to freak. 'Shit.' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I decide that somehow I must have had my purse with me after the lessons bc I always keep my car key with me in my purse and my car key is now in my hand  ( o_o)/* &amp;lt;- key  Eventually I decide that since I can't even call mom w/o my cell (which is also in the accursed purse), I drive into town to the library, find mom at her desk and do my little 'OMG Help!! PURSE FIND!! LOST!! AHHHH!!! ( /@O@)\' jig around her desk. So mom calls Francais who cannot find it at the music shop either. Mom and I then checked the car again, no luck. So mom tells her boss she's leaving to help me look since my largest fear was that I had left it on TOP of the car and it was laying IN the road somewhere being smashed to pieces AND the sun was going down already so I didn't have much time to look. So we take off home in seperate vehicles. I got there first and looked around some more by the car and weeds and showed mom when she got there. Still nothing so I walk up to the house and onto the porch. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...And there it sits, that DAMN PURSE is sitting right below my book, on the floor. So of course, you must realize this means that after I 'lost' said purse, I walked over and SET it on the floor, then set my book on the bench above it and THEN put my bass down and once again looked around for the damn thing a few times w/o even seeing it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mom: *snort* 'I'm going back to work now...'  /(^x^\ )       ( ;¬.¬) Me: 'ya ok... stupid purse.'&lt;br /&gt;O_o... :siiiiiiiiigh: Ppl don't believe sometimes when I say I'm dense.. I'm only going to add this instance to my arsenal of 'you have NO idea..'. God I FEEL STUPID -_-;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, enough making fun of meh o_o;  Does anyone know someone who would be interested in hosting my Jrock Wallpapers site.. I really need somewhere to put them permanently. Anyyyyyone? ^^;</content>

    <content type="html">guess what? I think I maybe in SERIOUS 'danger' :cough: of losing my job :o  Seriously, they decided to enforce the dress code which makes me a baaaaaaaaad employee XDDDD ROFL. Our manager told me off about my lip ring and hair (to which I replied it's blond and red, big Whoop D Shit.) And I ignored her for awhile about taking the lip ring out so she followed me around was all 'go to the bathroom and take it out!'. Finally I was like 'FINE' and took it out, in public just to piss people off bc 'that's SO disgusting!'. Then I put it back in later and left the ball out so I could slip it out whenever I saw someone in management come by. Whatever. I could care less. I only keep the job bc I like money and I'm not losing my lip ring bc of them. Nope. Not happening. I am WAY too pig headed for that. I've never had any respect for dress codes bc I think they're stupid for the most part ¬.¬/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And randomly, 2 different little girls told me I had pretty hair yesterday. They're smarter than the adults O_o&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and I was at my bro's house this morning and I was THIS close to having the Yume Izuru Chi PV but dad wanted to go and I was hurrying to see if I had a blank CD and long story short, the comp ate the CD, blue screened and I lost the PV. Fuck you life. FUCK YOUUUU!!! &amp;gt;:O&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I'm off to &lt;i&gt;work&lt;/i&gt;. Yay! :D</content>

    <content type="html">I think I had a realllllllly good day today. I'm not 100% sure but the last 2 hours have been good :3  I went to my first bass lesson today and I was super nervous (like always, I'm way too fidgety) but I had a good time and Francais (the instructor) told me she really had to compliment me on my technique bc it was nearly perfect and she hardly ever sees that in beginners. :dances happily: *nearly perfect* ( ^o^)//  (O^o^o) \(|||)/ *nearly perfect*. Now.. when it comes to the fingering part I shall crash and burn and die from suckingness bc I have small hands (I'll blame them). So I shall be in euphoria for now, while it lasts XDD; Need to find one of the music stands I have around here.. I couldn't figure out why reading from the book was always such a pain until today. DUH. MUSIC STAND, HELLO. &amp;gt;.&amp;gt;;; &amp;lt;-blonde. Francais also gave me a pick to practice with which is nice bc I didn't have one and eventually I'll have to get a thicker one but this one's good for now! She also told me about this 'orchestra' that her nodenominal church has.. ehh. church. :shudder: Also she mentioned that there are about 10 guitarists for every bassist.. so providing I can get decent at playing, finding a band shouldn't really be a problem (apparently O_o;). I think I'm gonna call Maria soon too.. see what my old homieG is up too, I think I miss her :3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;aww Joanna sent me some birthday presents that got here today :3 Along with a card sent sent me a statue of Smok Wawelski, the dragon guard of a castle in Cracow and this picture of him &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://img450.imageshack.us/my.php?image=smokwawelski17oj.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img450.imageshack.us/img450/8427/smokwawelski17oj.th.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Isn't that cool? :) And she sent me this gingerbread ornament in the shape of heart, it's really hard to believe that it's made out of gingerbread. It's SO intricately detailed! @.@&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Btw, &lt;span class='ljuser  ljuser-name_vkeiri' lj:user='vkeiri' style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='http://vkeiri.livejournal.com/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif' alt='[info]' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='http://vkeiri.livejournal.com/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;vkeiri&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; I talked to my parents again and Sugoicon is a tentative yes.. they don't see a problem with getting me up to Grand Rapids. We'll be taking Interstate 196 need some directions and also, I need to know what time we're coming back, gas expenses and so on. ^^~  I should be on this evening after my bass lessons so we can talk about it then if you're not busy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Welcome to Ko's I want Monies(!!) Shop&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, I'm selling some stuff of mine but before I &lt;b&gt;actually sell them&lt;/b&gt; I want to see if there's really any interest for them (since I'd rather sell them to my friends then complete strangers anyway). And I also need to know if you guys think my prices are outrageous or anything. Sorry for the crappy pictures but my camera is not the greatest @_@; If more than one person just happens to want the same thing, then &lt;b&gt;you can outbid each other.&lt;/b&gt; For payment, I cannot accept forms of credit card payment such as Paypal. What I do accept is Western Union, Checks and well concealed cash at your own risk. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Sorry, none of these prices include shipping, I have absolutely no control over that but I will ship it in which ever way you want so you don't pay anymore for the shipping than you want to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/9261/manicpanicultraviolet3ug.jpg" align="left"&gt; Firstly, I'm selling this almost full jar of Manic Panic Ultra Violet Temporary Hair Dye. In my experience, this stuff washes out in a week or 2 but may stain for longer. If you have bleached or extremely light blond colored hair, it *should* come out a shade of purple and if you have dark hair, it *might* simply tint it purple so you *might* look very dark purple. I use *should* and *might* because it's common sense that you cannot guarantee anything when it comes to hair dye. Alot of it depends on how you take care of your coloring and what shape your hair is in in the first place. :/ I used this jar once awhile back and won't be using it again. It's still over 3/4ths full and it seems a little silly to let it sit on my shelf and rot when someone else could be using it. The jar has been tightly closed since I used it and the dye looks to be in good condition (it hasn't dried out). This jar retails for $7+ and I was thinking $2-3 would be a fair price for it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly, I'm selling off some Jrock posters from CURE. I was thinking that $3-4 a piece is a fair price, what do you guys think? All posters are *ORIGINAL* (as in they came out OF seperate issues of Cure), printed in very high quality on glossy paper and have no pin holes in them. They are in 'mint' condition (no rips, tears or holes) as they have been sitting protected in my binder of Jrock goodies for a while now :3  Also the posters are PRE-folded; they came that way and will be refolded for shipping.-&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://img99.imageshack.us/my.php?image=posteralice99kv.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/1883/posteralice99kv.th.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alice9&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://img99.imageshack.us/my.php?image=posterbis19gn.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/3540/posterbis19gn.th.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://img439.imageshack.us/my.php?image=posterkagerou23dc.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img439.imageshack.us/img439/8203/posterkagerou23dc.th.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kagerou&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;[Edit:] Current Highest bid on all posters: Bunnie $4&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd &lt;b&gt;REALLY&lt;/b&gt; appreciate some opinions on the prices ect. here but pls be fair. I'm not going to charge only $1 for the posters when I see JPH selling them at cons for around $4 I believe.</content>

    <content type="html">Damn.. I've been &lt;b&gt;SO&lt;/b&gt; good at staying away from here lately!! &amp;gt;.&amp;lt;;; Yeah, I pretty much give up on LJ. Don't care about it much anymore. There are many better things I could be doing with my time so eh.. but we'll see. I'm prone to sudden changes of mind about everything and I probably will still update once in a great while about random stuff that doesn't really matter. Such as this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/2425/vgcats1100x1001jq.gif"&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It amuses me so XDDD Shibbiness! (yes I made the animation, no to the comic. Check out &lt;a href="http://www.vgcats.com"&gt;http://www.vgcats.com&lt;/a&gt;  It's freaking hilarious. So technically, pls don't use this icon anywhere as it is not 'official', just for fun {it's too big anyway harr!!})&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, yesterday, while pondering why I'm such an immature twit with wild mood swings, it suddenly came to me, the answer WHY the sky is blue. No, not the answer in the text books, that's not true anyway. I'm talking about the REAL answer. &lt;s&gt;To life, the universe and everything and also&lt;/s&gt; why the sky is blue.. err.. something like that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Kohaku says: well, it's very simple you see tho I'm afraid due to the current circumstances, it's not going to be very funny anymore -o-/ Anyhoot, the sky is blue BECUASE!! (brace yourself!!) Under that white robe, god is really wearing a pair of bright blue briefs. And all of us, down here on Earth, are looking up his dress at the Almighty's blue man panties :3&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is why the sky is blue. The really realized real reason why.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I figured out why I want to learn so many languages.. &lt;i&gt;'becaaaaaaauuuuuuse \-o-/  lingual communication is the basis of human.. umm communicationstuffs and the only true path to universal understanding and complete happiness... and eventually total peace.. 'yadayada''&lt;/i&gt; That or I plan on enslaving you all when I take over the known universe and beyond. And hey, I gotta know who's talking smack behind my back so I know which of the 3 following categories to group you in. Category 1: My flock of sheeples- the masses I have brain washed into doing my bidding. Category 2: Minor threats- not of great importance, simply annoying. will be sterilized to prevent procreation. 90% or better of the world's population will fall into this category I'm afraid. Category 3: Major threats to my sanity- Damn, you stupid AND annoying. You die now, ok? byebye! &lt;br /&gt;Laugh now, I dare you. (¬.¬)/</content>

    <lj:music>Rammstein - Links zwo drei vier</lj:music>
    <content type="html">I had the craziest notion Tuesday in math class.. o_o   if I=prt then to find r before plugging in the given numbers I, p and t, simply rewriting it as I/pt=r and THEN plugging in the numbers, is much simpler than this bullshit of $36.78 = $892.43(r)3 -$892.43 / 3 and so forth. Yes, this is what happens when my two working brain cells actually rub together and manage to create a spark, brilliance!! Every once in awhile you know, haha!! 8D  ...Why didn't they teach us that earlier, why wait until I notice it today, point it out and then get the explanation 'well you wouldn't have understood it until now anyway'. Sure I wouldn't have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've forgotten how to roll my consonents already and I think my allergies are kicking in or something. dammit all. I need to finish one of those million layouts I've been working on since forever for my LJ and I think I'ma go back to FO. Maybe I am as paranoid as I thought I was haha!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Universe is a funny movie btw!! I've been watching it alot since I got it a few days ago, Walmart has it on clearance (probably by the doors) for $15.89 which is good but if you're like me and &lt;s&gt;Walmart had their mad scientists implant a micro chip in your brain to brainwash you into thinking that was a good place to put in an app so they could enslave your body and suck the energy from your soul for all enternity&lt;/s&gt; work there, you don't get 10%. boo, I tried, I know. Oddly enough it's still $20 at the back of the store in the actual electronics department. I made mom watch it with me Tuesday night, she likes it too X33&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, on Friday when we were out for my bday, my brother bought me Mutter by Rammstein, it's really good. So if you're into metal it's worth looking into. It's still metal so there's not much variety in the songs but there's still enough to keep it all from sounding too redundant... plus it's Rammstein and right now they are (imho, subject to change w/o warning) cool. They've got interesting lyrics if you're into the Dir en grey type.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently.. the new hot thing with the Jrock cosplayers is to dress up ganguro or mamba or whatever they want to call it. Oh yeah. That's hot. You look like an orange with white out around your eyes, so sexy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BTW, everyone at work say I look better blond.. I think I look &lt;b&gt;different&lt;/b&gt; (it's not the first time I've been blond) but I like the dark color better for some reason I haven't quite figured out yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some pictures I scanned from the October 2005 issue of Cure (complete with my whitty and yet surprisingly insightful commentary as usual :D {let's se if I can manage to get the spelling and grammar right in one full line of any journal entry XD}). I figured I hadn't done this in awhile and it was fun, so what the hell. Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://img270.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cure1005008tr.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img270.imageshack.us/img270/4097/cure1005008tr.th.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oooohh ahhh!! The cooover!! &lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://img270.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cure1005card3fh.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img270.imageshack.us/img270/8278/cure1005card3fh.th.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yep.. the trading card. How exciting. Incidently, this guy, the vocalist of Kagerou, who ever he is, has very dark nipples. mhmm, you can see them in the poster where he's shirtless with water running all over him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://img270.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cure1005dangergang19lf.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img270.imageshack.us/img270/3369/cure1005dangergang19lf.th.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think the vocalist of this group is just so fucking cute with his little wa-samurai-lolita outfit and katana!! I saw them in a past issue too.. I'll have to see if I can find the other picture. The drummer actually looks like a chick too and the guitarist kind of reminds me of Kana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://img270.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cure1005hidemuseum15vn.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img270.imageshack.us/img270/7514/cure1005hidemuseum15vn.th.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://img206.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cure1005hidemuseum23ej.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/2296/cure1005hidemuseum23ej.th.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://img206.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cure1005hidemuseum39fn.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/6010/cure1005hidemuseum39fn.th.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://img206.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cure1005hidemuseum46ds.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/159/cure1005hidemuseum46ds.th.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Pictures of the hide Museum that is now officially closed I believe, nice to see a bit of the inside for those of us that never got to go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://img206.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cure1005hysteric17ap.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/8413/cure1005hysteric17ap.th.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok.. I just have to say that the blond guitarist on the left is very HOT looking and oddly enough resembles a slimmer, better looking version of my ex-best-friend, Tabatha. O_o&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://img206.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cure1005kisaki14dj.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/5001/cure1005kisaki14dj.th.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OMFG.. it's Kisaki's head on the body of a very flabby man, mine EYES!!

    <content type="html">hahahahaha... today was &lt;i&gt;GOOD&lt;/i&gt; 8D  well... I am now going to be a Psychology Major (providing nothing goes wrong after I fill out the change of degree form) and I have not and am currently not IN any Psychology classes. I have to go register for second semester classes in mid to late October. I went to talk to my student advisor/the dean about the study abroad programs bc Purdue has a mile long list of them and I found programs for at least 5 countries I wanted to go to. I figured HE should be able to give me some answers about this since no one else was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SA/D: Well... first you have to transfer to the main campus in West Lafayette.&lt;br /&gt;Me: Yeah I read that you have to be accepted at the main campus.&lt;br /&gt;SA/D: And you have to be in a degree program.&lt;br /&gt;Me: ...WHAT?&lt;br /&gt;SA/D: What are you majoring in right now?&lt;br /&gt;Me: I'm taking General Education courses. How am I supposed to do &lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt; if you don't have what I want here?&lt;br /&gt;SA/D: Well what do you want to study here?&lt;br /&gt;Me: uhh.. Psychology, Germa-&lt;br /&gt;SA/D: We have Psychology here.&lt;br /&gt;Me: Ok. &lt;i&gt;Fine, whatever. Get me the hell out of here!! &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SA/D: They're quite expensive too.&lt;br /&gt;Me: I know, I was thinking about that. &lt;i&gt;No shit, Sherlock. Do I &lt;b&gt;look&lt;/b&gt; POOR?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I get the feeling I'm going to be in college for a very very long time. Not that I mind, I'll go as long as the money holds out. &lt;i&gt;hahahahaha.. what money.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AND then last hour, English was CANCELED!! THANK YOU, THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU. My paper wasn't totally rewritten. Not only that but I got to go home nearly 3 1/2 hours early. I called my bro to see if mom was there baking my cake, she was so I went there, had dinner and left bc I got annoyed with them when I asked to use the computer and they laughed at me again in that snitty way that really pisses me off. &lt;b&gt;She's&lt;/b&gt; not coming to the dinner tomorrow. What a shock. She doesn't want anything to do with me and I use her so it doesn't matter as long as she gives me a present of some sort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Starting tomorrow I quit counting the years. I hardly keep track now but after this, it doesn't matter. &lt;br /&gt;I'm going to go pick up my clothes from HT tomorrow too, yay!! X333 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess Wa's talking about moving her restaurant closer to where we live.. if she can manage to get within my 30 mile 'will travel to work' zone, I might have to look into that. 'I work for $7.25 dolla an hour and 2 egg rolls a day! 8D'. I'd ask her to teach me more Chinese too, in whatever dialect it is she speaks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which begs the question.. with as much as I claim I hate people in general, why am I so interested in learning different languages? I'm full of paradoxes like that. Apparently.. I'm also 'moody'. I'd like to dispute that, I'm not depressed bc I enjoy it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did I ever mention I loooove Savage Garden? Well I do and have for a long time. There's some triva info for you that most ppl don't know about me 8D  I like Darren Hayes in general.. I really admire his voice even if it is a bit whiney at times. I did Crash and Burn as the song for my Lyrical Speech. Affirmation is one of my favorite CDs ever, it's one of those few CDs I listen to when I'm really down or even when I'm happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a side note, it's raining like crazy here.</content>

    <content type="html">ahh in relation to my post earlier today.. thank you everyone for putting up with my moods. I was in one of those moods where you just can't seem to find anything decent about yourself that's worth saving and you want that person you see in the mirror to just go away. I can't say 'I'm alright' but I'm not as bad as I have been before. Shit happens. I try to move on, time goes by and the world keeps spinning. In the end human suffering means nothing.</content>
