It happened- I made a blog. Thanks to Laurel chan, of course. She convinced me I needed one. And if the layout looks familiar- well that would because it is. I have NO experience at html coding and so the one you are looking at is courtesy of Laurel chan. ^_^;;


Today is a fun day!... Thursday, January 25, 2001 08:12 a.m.

Ohayou minna san! Today will hopefully be a good day, although it started out badly for me. -_-;; I was supposed to work at 08:00 a.m., but I slept past my alarm and didn't wake up until ten till, so I called myself in for this morning. I told my boss what happened, and she said 'poor thing. It's been a bad week for you hasn't it?' She has NO idea... but it's nice to know I work with such cool people. *.*

Anyway, today should be good for other reasons! It means tomorrow is FRIDAY! (And the angels sang.)

It also means that today is the release date of the 2nd CCS movie!!! Of course, it does NOT mean I will get it soon, but it DOES mean that Studio Wabee will get it soon and start to fansub it! Then it will go out for distro, THEN I can get it!! *.* I am dying to get my hands on that movie. (You couldn't tell, could you?)

It ALSO means that today is Laurel chan's birthday!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR LARUEL CHAN! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

I already gave her a present last night. I forced Mitsukake to jump out of the cake in his boxers. (He did it after I threatened to sic Miboshi on him.) A few people blew noise makers and threw confetti, but I spent most of the party grinding with a very drunk Tasuki. It was a blast, ne Laurel chan? ^_^;;;

Oh, and thank you SO much for your input on the SKU songfic. I really appreciated it. I am thrilled that we got to chat last night.

Anyway, that's enough from me. I have to get ready to go to my four classes and work (this afternoon ^_^;;;).

So I hope everyone has a great day! Especially you, Laurel chan! *hugs minna*


Tests and other fun subject matter... Wednesday, January 24, 2001 11:10 a.m.

Ohayou minna san! Genki desuka? I just finished my first Japanese test of the year and I hope that I aced it. I am a little worried. :-P Anyway, I am currently in the Ballantine Hall MAC *cringe* lab checking e-mail, etc.

S, I am exhausted too. I don't have Butterfly stuck in my head anymore. Now it's Drive by Incubus. I think my head is just one giant jukebox b/c I usually have at least 2 songs going through it simultaneously every hour of everyday. The other one right now is Bath Water, but this morning it was the theme to Mononoke Hime. How random is that?!

LOL, my best friend *waves at S* says that blogs are contagious and she is going to call it 'blogosis'.

Laurel chan, I hope we get to talk soon. *hug*

Mata ne!


ACK! Addicitive song!... Tuesday, January 23, 2001 10:29 p.m.

Have any of you heard Crazytown's song Butterfly? (It's not the same one you sent me Laurel chan.) I was determined not to like it but my roomie *waves at Sub Sub* forced me to listen to it repeatedly, and it sort of grows on you. And anyway, everytime I listen to it I think of Ethan Hawke (right after Koyasu on my Sex God list) b/c I was looking at his pics on the net when she was playing the song a few days ago. Anyway, just thought I would ask. ^_^;;

A friend of mine stopped by and we talked way too long. I was supposed to have already done my homework and been in bed by now b/c I am so worn out, and not feeling too well, but noooo... *sigh*

Anyway, oyasumi nasai minna!


More on SKU fics/fanart... Tuesday, January 23, 2001 05:13 p.m.

Laurel chan, I read your long blog entry (and the short one too ^_~) and I really am glad to hear about all the stuff that's going on with you. (I mean, I am not glad that you are having problems, but I am glad to hear about them. It came out wrong.) I am very proud that you want to get started on your masters! And I feel the very same way about relationships as you do, so I feel your pain (and frustration). I think I told you what happened to me on relationships recently, so trust me, I completely understand.

As far as my new fic goes, it's short, and I can send you the song whenever you get online. I tried to upload it, but it didn't work. ;_; Don't worry, it's not a song that you are necessarily supposed to know. It's one of those popular album, but not radio released songs. I uploaded the fic and 2 fanarts I did to my geocities account, and I e-mailed you with the links. However, I can just put the links on here.

The fic is here.

One of the fanarts is here.

The other is here.

Let me know what you think! You know how much I respect your opinion. ^_^

*giggle* I uploaded my two citrus-y fics too, here and here. One more quick warning on the f-word. I used it more than once in 2 of these fics, so I just thought I would let you know that. And thank you for thanking me about the warning. ^_~

As far as the rest of my day, it was exceedingly long and dull. I was so tired that I fell asleep in 3 out of 4 classes. It was not fun. Anyway, love minna! *hug*


Bordem... Monday, January 22, 2001 03:51 p.m.

Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a lovely Monday *gags*. I went into this work this morning and was promptly sent home b/c my boss said I look sick, and for pity's sake to take a long nap. So, I did.

When I woke up, I was hungry so I went and got a very young banana and an very overcooked veggie burger for lunch, then came back and watched the Utena movie. (aka I felt like having my daily acid trip.) Anyway, that inspired me to do more fanart (!!) and I just finished that. It's not bad, but I think it needs to be colored or painted or something.

Anyway, tonight my friend Juli *waves* is coming over to watch Utena. Wait, is there a theme here? Hmm... maybe my psychoticness from being couped up is actually from Utena sucking my brain dry of all intellectual thought. It's a very taxing show to watch, as those who know it will agree. Especially the movie ^_^;;.

Anyway, I really do need to get homework done before Juli comes over, so jaa for now!


SKU fic... Sunday, January 21, 2001 10:01 p.m.

Laurel chan, if you read my blog tonight, I wanted to let you know that I wrote another song fic. It's Utena, to the song Bath Water by No Doubt. I really want you to read it, and get your very, very helpful criticism on it. although it does contain the f-word more than once. If you feel up to it, just e-mail me or something, and I will send it to you. And the song, if you haven't heard it. It just sort of fits Utena. If I had the technology to make a music vid with it, I would.

And S, Anne still didn't call... I will try to get in touch with her again tomorrow.

Everyone have as good of a Monday as possible. I know, I hate them too. Why do I have the sinking feeling that this week is going to be freaking long? *sigh*

Anyway, *hug* good night to everyone! Love minna!


Konnichiwa minna. Sunday, January 21, 2001 01:27 p.m.

*waves to everyone* I hope everyone's weekend was nice. Mine was... dull. I watched some movies, and did some homework, painted with my watercolors.

Laurel chan, I hope everything is ok with you. We all miss you very much, and I understand all too well what you are going through. *hug* Soon we will all be su-pa- genki again, and all will be right in the world.

S, I will IM you if Anne-girl calls me, ok?

Some minor good news: I got my vol. 15 of CCS yesterday. But I still haven't gotten my AnC artbook yet. *sigh* Sasuga had to special order it.

Anyway, I have to go do some more homework. (i.e. reading Karl Marx. I hate that man.)

Talk to minna later, ne?


Oro... Saturday, January 20, 2001 02:37 a.m.

I spent way too much money tonight when me and my roomie went shopping. >.< But I got fun stuff! I got groceries (ok, those aren't that much fun), watercolor paints and a new sketch pad, some vegan chocolate, a new magnent for me and my roomie's fridge and MONONOKE HIME ON DVD!!! I am so excited!

Laurel chan wa doko desuka?? *looks under boulders that Nuri picks up, in Tomo's shin, Ashitare's mouth, and Miboshi's ears* Hmmm... not there.

No, j/k. I hope to talk to you *checks watch again* um... later today ^_^;;

Sorry my entries have been short, but I don't have too much to talk about right now. Life if fairly boring.

Ja ne!


YAY!! It's Friday!! January 19, 2001... 04:35 p.m.

Konnichiwa minna! Genki desuka?

I am SO happy it's Friday. I just got off work. I saw American Beauty today... has everyone seen that? It was awesome. Other than the movie, my day was relatively boring. I went to Japanese, went to work, ran an errand for my boss, came home. My roomie and I are going shopping I think tonight.

*pout* I did NOT get my CCS vol. 15 in the mail yet. I should have gotten it today, but hopefully I will get it tomorrow. Have a great Friday night everyone!


*yawn* Friday, January 19, 2001... 12:02 a.m.

Ohayou minna san! I made my first page theme the 2nd CCS movie b/c it gets released at the end of this month! (1/25- incidently Laurel chan's b-day) Unfortunately, I won't be able to buy it for ahwile... I just got a new job and I won't get paid for a long time. :-P Anyway, even if I do have to wait awhile, I am dying to see it. I have heard it's worth the wait. *.*

Today was SO long. I don't know why either... it shouldn't have been. My first class was cancelled b/c my prof was out of town, and I didn't have to go into work in the afternoon b/c I did double time in the morning. We watched a very strange film from the Dada period in my history class today, called Entr'acte. And I got a 100% on my kanji quiz today. Yay!

Tonight my roomie and I watched Mickey Blue Eyes. I wasn't impressed. Hugh Grant has done much better movies than that one.

Anyway, I need to go to bed, as my roommate will be up at 5:00 a.m. (she's on the rowing team), and will most likely drag me out of bed too.

Mata ne!


MY FIRST BLOG!! Wednesday, January 17, 2001... 09:48 p.m.

Hi Laurel chan! I did all of this all by myself... aren't you proud?!! (I am!)

Anyway, there are still tons of things I want to change, but for now, it will do, until you can help me fine tune it. I will probably delete this message and some other stuff too, later on, after I talk to you and get a criticism.

I sent you an e-mail about it.

What happened to your finger? I checked your blog from yesterday just a min. ago. And let me guess, my package didn't get shipped out either...? It's ok. ^_~ I just like giving you a hard time about it.

*hugs* Ja mata!

Rinbu- Revolution [Shoujo Kaumei Utena]
Romanji and Translation courtesy of The Utena Encyclopedia

Isagiyoku kakkoyoku ikite ikou...
Tatoe futari hanarebanare ni natte mo...
Take my revolution

I'll go on living bravely and heroically
Even if I have to separate the two of us...
Take my revolution

Hikari sasu garden te wo toriai chikaiatta nagusameatta
Mou koi wa nido to shinai yotte
Sonna tsuyoi kessoku wa katachi wo kae
Ima ja konna ni takumashii
Watashitachi no lifestyle, everyday... everytime

In the sunny garden, hand in hand,
we consoled each other and swore
that we would never fall in love again
Our unity was so strong that it changed its form
Our lifestyle is now so robust, everyday... everytime

Hoho wo yoseatte
Utsuru shashin no egao ni
Sukoshi no sabishisa tsumekonde

Into a picture of us smiling
Cheek to cheek
I crammed a little bit of my loneliness

Isagiyoku kakko yoku
Ashita kara wa
Dare mo ga furimuku onna ni naru
Tatoe futari hanarebanare ni natte mo
Kokoro wa zutto issho ni

As of tomorrow,
I'll be such a brave, heroic woman
That everybody would look back at me
Even if we two become separated,
Let's keep our hearts together forever

Ai wa okane dewa kaenai tte shitteiru kedo
"I" de okane wa kaeru no? T.V. de itteta
Mukandou...mukanshin kiri ga nai ne
Wakai ko minna sou da to omowareru no wa feel so bad!
Doushiyou mo nai ja nai

I know money can't buy love
But can love buy me money? They said on TV
Apathy... indifference; It's so endless
They think young people are all this way; Feel so bad!
But how could we help ourselves?

Demo ne watashitachi
Tomodachi no koto nani yori taisetsu ni shiteru
Kitto otona yori mo

But listen,
I believe we care about friends more than anything,
More than grown-ups do

Yume wo mite namida shite kizutsuite mo
Genjitsu wa gamushara ni kuru shi
Jibun no ibasho sonzai kachi wa nakusenai
Jibun wo mamoru tameni

Dreaming, crying, and getting hurt,
But reality is still coming over and over
I can't lose my seat and the value of my existence
To protect myself

I'll go my way
Modorenai sorezore no
Michi wo erabu toki ga kuru toki ni
Konnani mo konnani mo taisetsuna omoide...
Toki hanatsu yo...

I'll go my way;
No turning back; Before the time comes
For each of us to choose a different way
I'll release so precious,
So precious a part of my memory

Take my revolution
Ikite ikou genjitsu wa gamushara ni kuru shi
Jibun no ibasho sonzaikachi wo mitsuketai
Kyou made no jibun wo

Take my revolution;
I'll go on living since reality is coming over and over
I want to find my seat and the value of my existence,
Which was me until today

Isagiyoku nugisuteru hadaka ni naru
Jiyuu wo mau bara no youni
Tatoe futari hanarebanare ni natte mo
Watashi wa sekai wo kaeru

I will shed my clothes and strip myself bravely,
Like roses whirling in freedom
Even if I have to separate the two of us,
I swear I will change the world.
