I know I'm off of LJ and stuff, but I guess, I don't know, I'm feeling really bad and I just want to go on. To talk and stuff, you know? I'm not even sure if I'll hit send really, or upload, whatever, I'm not really so sure. If I do I apologize, you don't have to read it, mostly I just want to talk to nothing for once.

THE DISNEYLAND PICS ARE HERE!!!

Aw yeah my brother finally sent them! I only scanned some of them, as many were just of the scenery or didn't come out. THEY ARE CRAPPY DISPOSABLE CAMERA PICS. It can't be helped that they're shitty, forgive them. Image-heavy entry, obv!

Also the doodles I did in my stress-reduc. class (for credits), as well as some ceramics stuff~ maybe some art things, I dunno. Big fat entry!
( cut into three easy parts )

aahaahaahaha oh god what there's so many of these I

Russian Jungle Book! How's that. The art style is awesome and I love the voices. NEAT, HUH?

I'll update about my trip, only after my brothers send the pictures we took. Theeen it'll be a big entry with derpy pics of me.

I WAS



DRINKING MY CHAI TEA FROM STARBUCKS. THAT I HAD LEFT ON THE TABLE WHILE I WENT TO THE MOVIE. PICKED IT UP TO FINISH OFF THE 1/4 THAT WAS LEFT


AND I WAS SIPPING AT IT

and then.... suddenly, the hole of the drink was clogged with something. A chunk of.... foam? Some piece they accidentally put in?

I look into the hole of the cup,
and clogging it... wedged all in there, peaking it's head out,



is a blunt.

I open the top of the cup... soaked in and sprinkled throughout the (small) remainder of the cup... KDJSLJF;SALK;FALFA;FKLAFJ KAFJSLK; FSKLFJASKLFAS

/WASHES MOUTH OUT ENDLESSLY lda;dsklfjak

THERE IS AN ASHTRAY RIGHT ON THE TABLE RIGHT IN THE CENTER I-- WHY?!?! WHYYYYYYY


I also saw 9 it was very amazing go see it please it's so cool/radical idk why it's getting bad reviews. It wasn't lacking anything.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I AM GOING TO THE AIRPORT SOON,
TO LEAVE ON THIS WEEK-LONG ADVENTURE.

THIS IS SO FRIGHTENING TO ME. First time! Alone! On a plane! I'VE ALWAYS JUST FOLLOWED EVERYONE ELSE. I figure the trick is to ask everyone around me and be a scared innocent girl. If only I could find someone on the same flight as me that is nice ;___; then cling to them....

IN MY MIND, I HAVE MURPHY'S LAW. Do you know what that is? Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeee
You know what last night there was a kid's cartoon on TV about traveling by plane and how to do is that not extremely acute? I was like whoa. Trippin' BALLS right now.


....AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MY GOD
MY POOR KITTY WHOM IS OBSESSED WITH ME, ALONE FOR A WEEK.
... PRINCE AS WELL. Everybody be good to her! But do not kidnap her while I am gone please. I'd be sad. No doing inappropriate things 'cuz I'm gone, either.
PRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINCE I LOVE YOU. I love you so much! I'll miss you, babe! See you in a week ;___; I'll call, I promiiiiiise! Don't miss me too much. But miss me a little ♥ Have fun while I'm goooooone!

Going to SoCal yiss.... Disneyland *u* as far as visiting you goes Akichi, perhaps I could use their internet and try to contact you. Or you could PM me with your phone number, whichever works. YOU LIVE IN CALI SO IT WON'T COST A LOT... WHY HAVE WE NEVER PHONED? Same with you Marcus fuck your shit. I HOPE I can visit you dudes, if there's enough time in the week.

.......................
there are about 10 of these


somebody please explain Japan for me

Hello, citizens! I said I'd update LJ more and be on MSN but I'm so busy lately... so much to be done. Journalism has me doing a lot right now, seeing as we'll be going to print the week I'm gone. AND ME BEING THE MAIN AD-SCANNER/DESIGNER... I have to hurry my ass up and do them all ASAP. But, it feels good to be productive!! I am happy to be frustrated, because frustration > depression by such a long-shot. At least in my opinion. It's more fun to rant and rave than it is to angst and mope.

The rest of this entry is behind a cut just to save flists! A number of pics of random things and babbling.

( I've let you down, professor )


OKAY... THAT'S IT.... I'M SORRY FOR ALWAYS HAVING SUCH ENTRIES.

OH MY GOD

OH MY GOD

10%+ IN PRINTED FORM I've been waiting for this to come out for MONTHS!! It's not available for purchase yet, but my God... I'm going to get these as soon as I goddamn can kalf;kals look at them, so pretty and.... THE COVERS. NNGH. BEING ABLE TO HOLD NOFNA IN MY HAND. JDKSAL;DKLS;DASDK I CAN'T STOP FANGIRLING. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

( WHAT THE TITLE SAYS )

...Fuck, way too many of these are italicized. /sinks into corner
MY SELF-RESPECT WENT DOWN LIKE -10 along with my credibility. I'll make a worthwhile entry like tomorrow or something! About school and journalism and ceramics and yeeeaah~

PRINCE THIS IS A POWER-LJ-ENTRY FOR WHEN YOU'RE BACK FROM WORK!!


GO AND KICK ASS AT SCHOOL PRINCE, YOU CAN DO IIIIT DON'T DIEEEE! HAVE A GOOD DAY & I LOVE YOU SO SO SO SOOO MUCH ♥

AAAAAAAAAAH SCHOOL SCHEDULE ENTRY. School just started today, pretty much I am going to die. But it's a relatively nicely laid-out year, so far, however I need to make up tons of credits and am going to have to do... well, something; an afterschool class wouldn't even suffice, and so I might have to take a course at Skyline Community College. I still need to discuss it with my counselor how I'm going to arrange myself to at least ATTEMPT to pass. I don't have a huge sentimental feeling for graduating ~ON STAGE~ and wouldn't quite mind being a Super Senior... but it is very much up in the air until I talk aboot it.

( class schedule & comments whatevs whatevs )

HELLO FLIST, I AM HERE TO RECOMMEND MUSIC TO YOU. No-- no don't click away so quickly because trying to get into new music is such a chore (it is, no sarcasm) and taking recommendations is bogus, but I wanted to get this band out there!



Ra Ra Riot
the Rhumb Line

This band was introduced to me by a friend of mine :) He marketed them as 'like the Shins' and this made me run up to go download it because there's not a band I love as passionately as the Shins.
It's very peppy-uppity music, interesting beats with very catchy tunes (almost always stuck in my head later). It's just happy music and even the relatively downbeat songs are lively. It's in the indie trend right alongside Death Cab for Cutie, the Shins, and Vampire Weekend. I might even compare them to Blur, at lease in some songs.
This is one of the few CDs where I can listen to every single song on it, because it's all awesome.

( Behind the cut is some songs ganked from youtube for a peak~ just to see if it appeals to any of y'all. And the download link of course. )

Hello flist~ and hello and welcome granlogin as well as frutsi (okay so you've been here for a while but not gotten a 'welcome') and robotic_panda14 from Plurk :) HI, I DON'T PROMISE I WON'T BORE YOU ♥

Lately it's been good in the hood~ my brother visited, we chilled. They want to take me to Disneyland for my birthday, but because school starts so soon (the 18th) it's SO hard to plan out... since we want to go on a weekday and avoid a big crowd. ;___; My birthday is August 23rd, so I'm fucked.


The brunt of this entry is going to be finally gushing about what happened a few weeks ago ♥ Everyone knows already, but I got to meet with tsunayoshi. If you don't want to/don't care to read about it, ignore the cut. It'll be a long story told in Avalon-like fashion to commit the nitty-gritty of it to memory. Story time! It's very long, so you might not want to bother... it's mostly for my Prince and I but anyone is allowed to read of course. Just be warned.

( Most importantly if you are in any way disgusted or weirded out or made uncomfortable by sap and lesbianage and kissage, do not tread further. )

Whenever I see a super-duper good movie that makes me think, or leaves me speechless, or generally WOWs me in some way, I wanna make an entry about it! So I can abuse LJ and forcibly make you familiar with the name so that you'll go out and rent it some time.

Let the Right One In
[Låt den rätte komma in]



It's a Swedish Vampire film that came out in 2008, and had an immense cult following. It scores a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes and gets an 8.1/10 on IMBD. It's both a drama and a romance story, and it almost doesn't feel like Vampire film at all, until you reach a point. Gory at parts, suspenseful at others... absolutely cute and precious sometimes, it was dynamic. It never veered into 'cheese' territory.
The story follows 12-year-old Oskar, a severely bullied boy who meets a strange little (also 12) girl in his neighborhood, living right next door to him. I quote Rotten Tomatoes purely for lulz:
It’s everything Twilight wanted to be but wasn’t: beautiful to gaze at, achingly romantic, emotionally involving, unexpectedly terrifying.


Ignore the last minute or so of that... It was the only decent trailer I could nab, what with the way some movie companies think it's awesome to block embedding.
Actually, I believe the whole movie can be found on youtube, so there's also that means of watching it. It's short, about 2 hours long.

Hey, I have a question, little flist.
I'm not trying to be deep or introspective or wordy in any way, it was just something that crossed my mind last night; and I realized that I didn't know the answer, and hard as I tried it was hard to really force myself to pick one.

This is a personal question, from YOUR point of view. So no answers like "it varies from person to person!" or "that's an inconsistent thing." You, right NOW.

Which do you think is closer to 'happiness' for you? Or which would be the main factor in getting there, will help you find it, in your mind?

Is it being satisfied at your accomplishments, achievements, being self-sufficient? i.e. graduating from a good school, attending college, getting your dream job and being good at it.

Or is it feeling comfortable and cared for? Finding someone who can love you and appreciate you, and/or good friends, who will be by your side and support you through life. Putting thing more like 'family' and 'marriage' over a 'ideal career' and 'good schooling'.

I don't know, teenagerdom feels a lot like it's everyone trying to get to an end goal what with how everyone tries to hard to pass high school and to slide into college. But then I wonder if that's really honestly because it would make them happy to be accomplished (and go through hell to get there) or because it's obligatory with no questions asked.

Greetings, LJ!

First off, I want to talk about a movie I watched recently... just 'cuz. It was pretty interesting. I'd been wanting to see it since it first came out, but the opportunity never really arose; my friend Kirri had it on her computer so we watched it at her house.

A Scanner Darkly

It's set in Orange County 7 years into the future. A new drug called 'Substance D' (or just 'D') is a current epidemic. "There is no quitting. You're either on D, or you've never tried it." It's a mind-altering drug with devastating effects if used too often, and so the government-- after losing this war on drugs-- takes to intense surveillance and undercover agents to try and stop the bigger drug-pushers. Bob Arctor is assigned to enter the drug scene (anonymous to his coworkers, who only know him a 'Fred') and infiltrate.
He becomes an addict. It's a bit hard to follow, and confusing-- a lot of the plot flows along subtly, and you pretty much have to pay close attention to every conversation or else the plot... isn't really there. Things aren't obvious!

It's filmed and then animated in a process called 'Rotoshopping'.



EH, I DUNNO. Nobody knows about this movie so I wanted to tip people off about it. I'd consider it good! Not for everybody, but I really really enjoyed it.

Everybody's doing it I just wanted to be cool.

( That one meme where you fill out shit that Prince and Akichi and etc have done )

I hope that was enlightening...
