Okay, first to start out with. WOAH I HAVEN'T BEEN ON FOR FOREVER AND A HALF! So yeah... Sorry >.<
So, let's see. I quit Japanese Class, because I have a nervous stomach, and It was going to kill me in my sleep (aka give me an ulcer). So yeah... And soon after that a bunch of stuff happened. Good stuff, lame stuff AWESOME STUFF. And stuff I didn't think happened outside of TV. And in this crazy span of 8ish months that I haven't posted anything, I made a bunch of new friends. And they're pretty awesome... Just sayin'. ^.^ And I've resurrected my bento-making skills...
And I've really been fighting the urge to post in Japanese. Because I know a lot of kanji now, and can read even more than I can write. 8D I've even made another Japan-obsessed friend. AND got him to sign-up for JA1. Victory!

Cherry Blossom Festival '09!
We (Neil, Sun and I) meet at the fire-look-out place in Little Tokyo at 10. Then we go to the opening ceremony where there was some awesome Taiko drumming going on! It was beautiful!
Next, Ishii-sensee gets her "Teachers Make A Difference Award"! YAY, SENSEE! She is the best "official" teacher I've ever had (Although I've only had probably 3 teachers in my life, so far... :3. My mom, Ishii-sensee, a sign language teacher from SCC (he was the ABSOLUTE WORST TEACHER, EVER!) and Shimura-sensee (from Japanese Culture class, she was okay but she gave out wayyy too much homework!).
Ishii-sensee is in the middle with the short hair, next to the guy with white hair.
This is Sun, posing with Hello Kitty, who distracted us from the awards ceremony. Oh, well. It was basically over anyways!What? Do you think I'd miss out on this photo op?

Life update!
Dad took my little brother and I to Snow Vally in Big Bear. I flew down the runs like hell broke loose and was chasing me, I must have gotten up to 15mph (<-- Possibly a 'big fish' story:D). That might explain why it hurt when I used my special breaking technique! Which is basically falling on my bottom, it worked pretty well until the snow decided to turn into an ice rink :p.
Nice pic. of the ski lift, self*pats self on back*.
I've seen this car around our house lately, I have no idea what the "Meat Party" van is. Mom says maybe it's a hooker bus. O_o maybeee?
This is me at the Japanese/Chinese Open House at my collage! Sensee, (behind me in the yellow Kimono) helped me figure out how to get the Kimono on! (It's pretty difficult!) But they're soooo comfortable! I can see why the Japanese ware them in the summer!Monday, March 2, 2009

Nausicaa Of The Vally Of The Wind (Naushika, is the original title and is also how you pronounce the name.). Yet another Miyazki movie under my belt. I have now seen: Howl's Moving Castle, Spirted Away, Castle in the Sky, Naushika, Kiki's Delivery Service. And maybe a few others, I can't remember right now.

Future excitement
I finally got to sign up for JA2 sooo. Now I feal somewhat stressed about doing well in the class. Heh, I should probably study verbs and such (you have to change verbs around a bit before you can use them). So basically now I'm pumped for the new semester and can't wait till class starts.
I still think I might miss Gym a little bit but it's probably for the better anyways. Or maybe I'll keep going? I don't know! Now I'm second guessing myself!!!
Geeze how long is Konata going to keep typing (Konata is the blue haired girl on upper left corner)?!? So clever typing with her eyes closed hmm.. maybe I should try that too...Nope, didn't turn out that great.
Oh! I ran a WHOLE racing track (those ones at high schools and such that look like a big 0. Sure I kind of started walking half way through but... That's just because my throat got crazy dry! I would never be able to pass P.E. in a public school. I'm a crazy sprinter though! I guess a relay race would be good then. I would be as crazy fast as Sakaki from Azumanga Daioh. In the anime It looks like she's going 17 mph! But, then again she does have long legs... Yet I'll always be Chiyo the 10 year old girl that went to high school and graduated at 11. I guess that's probably a few years off though.

Gunslinger Girl: Slow but steady
I just got to watch another episode of Gunslinger Girl -IL Tetrano- which is pretty good. It takes people awhile to sub them though. As soon as I'm done learning Japanese I'm definitely going to fansub something! And it will be awesome!
Right now I'm swimming in homework (like always) and also have/had gymnastics tests. Which I'm somewhat afraid of falling behind. If Coach Cheese (she got a job! YAY!) passes me in gym after lvl 6 I won't get to see her Thursdays anymore ;(. I hardly get to see her as is because she has job training on Fridays (previously Disneyland days) and Renaissance fair stuff on Saturdays grr. I kind of miss those Fall days that we used to go to the candy store and sneak the food into the dollar movies...
Class wise I'm still really busy! Even thought I had to drop my Saturday Japanese Culture class. I really didn't have the time to do the teachers ridiculous amount of homework.
I've been a blubs today just sitting on the couch while my cat attacks me from above the couch. And is now ferociously trying to make muffins on my lap. So adorable.
The holidays are getting closer and I've already got half the people on my list presents! AHA! I'm ahead of schedule this year! I wonder what I should get my cat? Probably something new for her to loose under the table. I wish I had some money to go and get some manga :P I saw the ones I was looking for at an Anime store in Little Tokyo. "Ahh sir times is hard times is haaaaard" -Mrs. Lovett. Anyways, I really should post more often and read Cheese's blog. blah I guess I'm off to go read that now. Ja ne! <-- see ya' in a little bit.

Gunslinger Girl: Part 2

GGS2 is supposed to come out on DVD (English dubb) Autumn, NEXT YEAR!!! I either need to learn the Japanese language faster or, wait my life away... I am really annoyed right now... I'm thinking (hoping) somebody will dubb episode nine in less than a year! I really do enjoy the subbs better. I was watching Furuba (Fruits Basket) in English and found out that a bunch of stuff was cut out when they were transferring Japanese into English. LAME! So now I'm off to go to bed and rant in my sleep... I wish there was some kind of list I could sign up for that e-mails me when the new seasons of stuff are out! Hmm, I should research that... Anyways here's my somewhat updated anime list:

Gunslinger Girl: Part 1
"The Light Before We Land" - The Delgados (opening theme)
and when I feel like I can feel once again

SEE WHAT I MEAN! The one's on the top are from season one, the bottoms are from Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino (GG season 2)... But the whole story line of Gunslinger Girl was so well thought out! You know when people make movies and everything looks better? That was the first season, it was so unlike any other anime! It had a sort of sadness to it but, not enough to weigh you down... If you want to learn more about the show you should go to Wikipeida. Or you could check out the Character List and learn more about each individual plot...
You kind of have to watch this anime carefully because the subtitles in both seasons are pretty fast and may need some re-winding. This anime is also based in Italy so it can be very confusing to hear people speaking Japanese in Italy with an English theme song and an Italian ending theme song... All and all it is a defendant 5/5 in my mind! I will do Gunslinger Girl: Part 2 and an anime update when I finish the series (I'm on Season 2: Episode 5 right now...).
(The blond Gunslinger Girl (above) is Rico. There were 6 girls but one died in the first season)

Sushi Sunday
• Get Cameron P.J.'s
• Get shampoo, soap at the Body Shop.
• Get some pants, halloween costume for me.
• Boba?
We ended up getting a Washington roll (a type of sushi roll) at Umi Grill at the food court. It was probably the best sushi I've ever tasted! It was even better than the Yen fusion sushi place by Cheese's house. Mm, I wish I had more! We also found this boba place in the mall but, they ran out of milk tea so we didn't get any.
• Itadakimas, Thanks for the food/meal (before you eat)

Bunches of homework with the predictable overcast, and magots???

You wouldn't believe how much homework Ishii-sensee (JA1) and Shimura-sensee (Ja21) decided to pour on me. I had 7 pages of translation from JA1 and I had the regular homework from JA21 (which is basically just answering questions and a writen summery of the text book.). So after I was done with all this stuff, Ishii-sensee decides to pour more homework on me! It's not as bad as last time though, I really enjoy learning all of the characters. Soon we'll just take quizzes in Harigana instead of this lame, Americanized romaji version!
Today I woke up and looked out the window to find: IT'S OVERCAST TODAY!!! I am really excited for Autumn/Fall! I really love that season, with all the colors and stuff! I had to dig out the little bottle of clove oil I made into a necklace. Mm, I love the smell of cloves. It reminds me of the whole feeling of Fall. It makes me want to bake snicker doodles because of the cinnamon (I like that smell too It's all warm and homey) (no, homey is not a real word).
I had the weirdest dream last night. I was dreaming that me and a few friends (I don't remember who) were sitting on the edge of a little creak and we had our feet dangling in. It was really nice out it must have been the beginning of Fall. Then there were these cute little fish that were swimming around and started spitting out maggots! Then the maggots came by our feet and started crawling up our legs... Then they embed themselves in the back of our knees, I was really freaking out. The others were just fine while I was getting more and more freaked out at the small strange colored holes in the back of my knee. They were really weird colors too like purple, pink, blue, green and yellow... But in the crayon colors not the bruise type of faded colors. Then my friends told me that this is some sort of treatment for some disease. I DON'T HAVE A DISEASE! Then I woke up. Such a weird dream...

Anime Tuesday?
"Clint Eastwood" - Gorillaz
Oh oh oh oh oh
I ain't happy,
I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless but Not for long
The future is coming on
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on Yeah...
Ha Ha! Finally someone let me out of my cage
Now, time for me is nothing cos I'm counting no age
Now I couldn't be there
Now you shouldn't be scared
I'm good at repairs
And I'm under each snare
Intangible
Bet you didn't think so I command you to
Panoramic view
Look I'll make it all manageable
Pick and choose Sit and lose All you different crews
Chicks and dudes Who you think is really kickin' tunes?
Picture you gettin' down in a picture tube
Like you lit the fuse
You think it's fictional
Mystical? Maybe
Spiritual Hearable
What appears in you is a clearer view cos you're too crazy
Lifeless
To know the definition for what life is
Priceless
For you because I put you on the hype shit
You like it?
Gunsmokin' righteous with one token Psychic
among those Possess you with one go
I ain't happy,
I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless,but not for long
The future is coming on
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
The essence the basics
Without it you make it
Allow me to make this Childlike in nature
Rhythm
You have it or you don't that's a fallacy
I'm in them
Every sprouting tree Every child apiece
Every cloud you see
You see with your eyes I see destruction and demise
Corruption in disguise From this fuckin' enterprise
Now I'm sucking to your lies
Through Russ, though not his muscles but the percussion he provides
with me as a guide
But y'all can see me now cos you don't see with your eye
You perceive with your mind
That's the inner
So I'm gonna stick around with Russ and be a mentor
Bust a few rhymes so mother fuckers Remember where the thought is
I brought all this So you can survive when law is
lawless
Feelings, sensations that you thought were dead
No squealing, remember (that it's all in your head)
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is coming on
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on It's coming on
It's coming on
My future
is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future
is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future
is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future
is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future
is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future ...
This isn't even from an anime but, it is anime in it's own way... The Gorillaz are a virtual band and no one has seen them in person... Kind of like the band, Kiss. They all wore make-up but one day they took it off and out pops Gene Simmons. The Gorillaz were even at the Grammes but had an AWESOME projection/hologram thing going on.
"Feel Good Inc." and "Hung Up" - The Gorillaz and Madonna
I found the Gorillaz AMAZING! I still don't know how they did the hologram thing. Madonna is kind of um, LAME. But, she shows off how the Gorillaz look like they're actually there! She even walks behind them! It's so awesome! Just imagine what people could do with stuff like that. Usually pictures are projected on pieces of glass but when Madonna went behind them you would've been able to see her through the hologram!
Here's a bonus, I'M FINALLY DONE WITH MY HOMEWORK! Next weeks homework shouldn't be half as bad. I get to practice the Harigana/Katakana characters next week in JA1 and I don't really know what I do next JA21 but, It'll probably be awesome! Till next post, Sayonara!

Japanese
日本語 I took Japanese 1 today at IVC (most people had suggested JA1A but, being the
(Japanese) difficult teen I am I had to choose JA1...) this is probably the hardest class I've ever taken! Sensee (teacher) decided to have the class do really long sentences and started talking really fast, I couldn't keep up! The homework looks doable though.
Oh, and here's another thing, Sensee really recommends tutoring to everyone so I tried to sign up but I have to have that "pre-approved" too! I hate that just because I'm younger than everyone in class I have to be "approved" it's not like I'm some children's reading material or something! I just sit there and learn. I'm really getting sick of this age limit thing. Can't I just go through some sort of test to let me in stuff without having to go through the same thing over and over? Good thing this "tutoring" counts as 5% of my grade. I'm basically already done with the system and just looking forward to the part where I learn the characters.
I'll be learning Hiragana, then Katakana and then Kenji. Just the simple Kenji though because now and days people usually only use it for names and some books... I'm actually kind of excited for Wednesday even thought today went kind of bad. Anyways, Till next time, Sayonara!

Get into gear already!
I assembled my desk today! It took me a really long time though but, I did it all by myself! I really want to start getting into a schedule again... So far it's been going rather umm, lame. I've been waking up way too late, not going running like I wanted too and I haven't been stretching in the morning, either. Basically I want my schedule to be something like this:
8am Wake up
8:05am Eat breakfast, stretch out/ Leave for Japanese Culture class (on Saturdays)
9:30am Start studying for Japanese 1 (JA1)
11am Try to catch Gunsmoke on TV Land (I've just really been into that show lately)/Leave for Teen Disney Days (Thursdays?, Fridays?)
12pm Eat lunch/ Go to park days (some Mondays)
12:35pm Get home from JCC/Do whatever, Go on the computer, Blog, Walk the dog ect./Leave for JA1 (Mondays and Wednesdays)
6:30pm Free time or more studying... Or read a book
10:30pm Get home from JA1/ Get ready for bed/ Study a little bit more... XD
11pm - 12am Go to bed
Basically something like that... But I still need to figure out when I want to do Gymnastics... I defiantly want to go into the 3-4 Grade but I still haven't decided which day... Cheese and I still need to have a ridiculous talk that will probably end up having to do with pink skirts and gym teachers. ;3 I'm off to bed now, till next time, Sayonara!

GAP GODLEYY Anime Photo
First off, THIS IS A GODLEYY (Yes, with two Y's) PHOTO!!!! I was looking at random neko anime pics on Google and I found this beauty! It would be really awesome if I could dress up as her for Halloween! Speaking of which, I still need to figure out what I want to be! Or if there's a awesome theme all the teens are going to do! If I think of something awesome I'll probably have to sew it so it'll take a while... But It would be nice to dress up as something less childish... Cat ears would be good so would awesome wings! Now I'll have to look up a lot of stuff...
I picked up all my textbooks Tuesday! I've been looking stuff up in the Japanese-English, English-Japanese dictionary since! Like my latest anime I finished: Kodomo no Jikan, Kodomo means: child, no is possessive and Jikan is time! So basically it's Children's school time. Which makes a lot of sense with the anime around a class of 4Th graders and their teacher. Anyways, till next post, Sayonara!
