Jenchan's Pitas ver. 2.0. This is my new layout in honor of Valentine's Day. I hate this fucking time of year.


Mondays suck... Monday. February 19.2001. 06:39 p.m.

I hate Mondays. Although the weather at least was decent today. Warmer and sunny! Wai! I just hate Mondays b/c they suck. Why? *shrug* It's just a law of the universe, like trees exist and pigs don't fly.

Anyway, I am not in a bad mood, just tired and bored. I woke up later than planned and had to rush to work w/out finishing my homework. *sigh* Oh well, I did get it done b4 I had to turn it in, so it's all good. ^_^

S, you haven't blogged in forever. *pout, then points finger* Update. Now. It is vital communication for our take over of Burma. Bwahahahahaha... *ahem* Anyway... ^^;;;

I really enjoyed the chat last night, minna! Thanks for showing minna's pics! That was fun. I am sorry you had to miss it Laurel chan... ;_; You were missed!

Ger, I enjoyed the chat I had with you and Mearl as well. It's nice to talk to people who actually think about what they believe instead of regurgitating what mommy and daddy and the government force them to choke down. Oh, and btw, I am on vol. 9 of your fansubs. ^_~

Anyway, I have to go study. Sorry for being somewhat anti-social tonight, but I HAVE to read tons of stuff tonight. I am so behind.

*hugs minna* Mata ne!


Tadaima!... Sunday. February 18.2001. 11:04 p.m.

Konbanwa minna san! I am back from home this weekend. I had a good time- Mom and Dad bought me some clothes (2 new pairs of jeans, a pair of fun socks and a green shirt w/ a celtic knot on it ^_^) and let me make vegan cookies. I gave my imouto-chan her present and she loved it! Wai!

I got some CLOW CARDS!!!! hanyaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! They are SO cool! *ahems* Anyway... -_-;;

I really love playing Touga, minna-san. I am having a great time in the forum. I hope I am convincing. ^^;;

Of course, I didn't get my homework done... o.<;;

Mata ne!


Oi, oi ... Friday. February 16.2001. 09:02 a.m.

Ohayou minna! If I was irrepressibly genki Wed, yesterday was the day from hell. I am convinvced that it was some sort of sick joke. I was up until 4:45 a.m. finishing that damned paper. Then, I went to bed planning to get up at 6:30 to finish revising it, write my bibliography and get ready for work. Didn't happen. I dont' know if I turned my alarm off when I was half asleep or what happened, but I didn't wake up until 8:10, at which point I was supposed to be at work. I called myself in. Luckily for me, my bosses kick ass and put school first, so they were cool with it.

Then, my printer fucked up and I had to use the dorm one to print my paper. No prob, right? Wrong. First, I used the restroom before I left at which time I slammed my funny bone so hard into the stall door that my arm was numb for half an hour- literally. And I now have a huge knot there on my arm. Then I went to the lab and couldn't get the damned printer to work... it took me and this guy like 20 minutes to get it to work. THEN I sliced my finger open on a sharp metal object. And I don't mean so little cut. I mean gash bleeding profusely. At this point, I was late for my first class, so I decided to skip and went to eat breakfast and then went back to the room. I skipped my second class as well, and then I finally went to my 3rd one b/c that's when the paper as due. -_-;; Oh, and then I skipped my last one b/c I was so tired I couldn't see straight. And the only time it rained was when I was walking to class.

*takes huge gulp of air* Now that I am done w/ my pathetic sob story... I have to finish my homework. I had fun in chat last night minna! ^_^ I am genki again today! (At least so far...)

Ger, I am sorry you are having problems with people in ROTC. :-(

QS, if you read this, I have a few questions about setting up my part of the forum. ^_^

Oh, I won't be on aim all weekend b/c I am going home to celebrate my imouto-chan's birthday. I will try to keep my blog updated, and I will check e-mail, if anyone needs to get in touch with me.

Ja mata!


>.< ... Wednesday. February 14.2001. 03:28 p.m.

Konnichiwa minna... *sigh* This is the one day of the year I allow myself to wallow in self pity and mope. And I especially have reason to this year. But, much to my horror and dismay, I woke up IRREPRESSIBLY genki!!! Kowai yo!! I listened to Fruit Candy (CCS end theme 3) like 4 times in a row and ate Starburst Fruit Twists for breakfast! (I fed some to Syao-chan too ^_~) So therefore, I have NOT been wallowing in self-pity or wearing all black, as is the norm for me on this fucking holiday. I wore my cutest blouse and my silver earcuff w/ the stars and moons on it, and I bought Jelly Bellys for the people I work with. I hardly thought about John at all (which is amazing considering I think about him all the time every other day -_-) And my parents sent me an e-card. *sigh* I guess I didn't get to act all bitchy like I planned. I think it was Providence.

LOL- so, I guess I will wish Happy Valentine's Day to all those who do like to enjoy it.

Anyway, I am mostly posting b/c I wanted to let everyone know I most likely will not be online at all tonight. I have a huge paper to write, due tomorrow, that I *sheepish grin* haven't started yet... And a homework assignment. *sigh*

*cowers* My roomie has threatened to spam anyone who tries to distract me tonight b/c I have so much homework to do. Eep!

Oh well! At least I have my Syao-chan to keep me company in my writing space!! *hearts*

Syao-chan: ^_^;;;;

*gives him another spork, a lemon Starburst Fruit Twist and a kiss*

Syao-chan: *BLUUUUUUUUUSH*

*giggles* ^__^ Hanyaaaaaaaaaan!

Ja ne minna! Hope to talk to everyone tomorrow! *hug*


minna ... Tuesday. February 13.2001. 07:05 a.m.

Minna... I have read everyone's blogs from yesterday. I want to say to everyone that I am sorry that everyone is going through such difficult time. As Ger put it, there seems to be a "depressing virus" going around.

Laurelchan, I am SO glad that my e-mail helped you. *giggles* You're my partner in genkiness and I don't want you to be miserable. I know what you mean though... I am starting to get into the semesterly funk, where all I want to do is skip classes and play on the net all day long, and I can't allow myself that. *sigh* I can't wait to graduate. But I still enjoy my classes, and I like my new job (hated the old one), so in the long run, I know everything will be fine.

Ger, thanks for what you said on your blog. You're right! ^_~ I do think we click well! And I hope we get to know each other very well. Oh, and on a side note, I talked to Laurelchan last night, and I do believe that something will be done about your lack of Utena fansubs. ^_~

Moonsong and Lyra- I am sorry about everything you two are going through. I don't know either of you very well, but I do know you are both very talented people, and I am sorry that you are going through difficult times. I may seem perpetually genki, and well... that's b/c I am. But I will also say that just because I am perpetually genki doesn't mean I haven't had my share of shit happen to me. Moonsong (I know everyone calls you Neesan, so I will call you that if you want), last year was the year from hell for me, especially November. I had my own share of physical problems, and although mostly they are gone, I do still have some lingering problems. I have had problems with myself, questioning my beliefs in everything, esp. in religion, and even about whether or not I should even be part of this world. But November changed everything for me. I have learned that no matter what, there are people who will always stick by you and help you. I have also learned that life is a hell of a lot better if you actually go out and live it, not worrying about whether or not you should be or not, and looking forward to the possibilities each day brings. That sounds like bullshit, but it's the truth. I have grown up a lot b/c I had to, and I have resolved a lot of my personal issues. I hope that you will soon find that you can do the same, and same to you Lyra. *hug*

With that off my chest, I have to go study more... ugh, two tests today and I absolutely have to start that damned paper tonight. *sigh*

I love you all!


O.o ... Monday. February 12.2001. 10:01 p.m.

Hello everyone! I should technically be studying for my 2 tests tomorrow and starting my paper, but... well, I'm not. -_-;;

Laurel chan, I am sorry that you are having problems right now w/ work. *hugs* We all love you a ton, and will always be here for you to rant with. ^_~

Mearl chan, if you read this, I want you to know that I understand how you feel about the heirarchy thing, b/c besides Laurel chan, who I have known for about 1 1/2 years, I didn't really know everyone until a few weeks ago, and I am SO grateful that all of you just took me in, no questions asked, and treated me from the very beginning like I have always been part of the group. It means a lot to me. You all have been these people who were like webgoddesses or something, and since I had no page, no big archive, and not even many of my fanworks up, I just always stayed in the background. Thank you so much Laurel chan! I love you and I am so glad my e-mail helped you! *hug* And thank you everyone for taking me in and inviting me to be part of your group! *glomp*

*sigh* Today was the first in a supposedly long line of shitty weather days. I hate that. I mean, I adore thunderstorms, but rain and gray sky for 5 days is enough to drive anyone over the edge. I hate Indiana weather. Hell, I hate Indiana.

I hope I am not getting sick. I took a long nap this afternoon, which is very unusual for me, and I feel kind of nautious right now. Not good at all. >.<

*snickers* Ara chan and I *waves merrily at Ara chan* had a fun convo on icq tonight. It started with her bitching about her dad being an anal prick about the apartment we are getting next semester. If you want to read it, it's here. Warning: It's severly demented and contains lots of bishounen from FY and CCS. We were extremely hyper.

Syao chan: *mumbles* That's an understatement...

Now, now dearest... Oh, did I mention that Eriol volunteered to watch you tonight while I study?

Syao chan: *shuts up* @__@;;

*evil grin a la Eriol* Good Wolfie!

Anyway, I really do have to go study. *sigh* Talk to minna later!

Oyasumi!


*yawn*... Sunday. February 11.2001. 11:25 p.m.

Konbanwa minnasan. I am so tired! I stayed up 'till four a.m. yesterday to tape some CCS for my friend Amanda. *waves* It was fun. I worked on some fanficition. I kept Syao-chan company. You know, the norm for a Saturday night. ^_~

My roomie and I are in serious danger of falling into the Pit of Apathy... and it's only the 6th week of the semester. That means we only have... *counts*... 9 more weeks to go in this semester. -_-;;; *sigh*

*glomps QS sama* Thank you so much for letting me be Touga on your Utena board!! And thanks for whoever it was who nominated me!! *__* *has feeling Laurel chan had hand in it and glomps her too*

Ugh, I just spent 2 hours doing my Japanese homework. Normally it would have taken me about a quarter of that time but I kept getting interrupted. Ack! I have an exam in one of my history classes this week, and a paper due in one of my other history classes. *hoeeeeeeees* I'm so behind!

*hugs* Love minna!! Oyasumi nasai!


Yummy... Saturday. February 10.2001. 10:05 p.m.

*drooooool* My roomie and I went to see Chocolat tonight. If you haven't seen it, see it. It's cute and sappy, and Johnny Depp looked SO hot in that movie. Long sandy hair, a guitar, and an Irish accent. Mmmmmmm, yummy. ^_~

Oh yeah, and the musical score is really cool too!

For those of you who are curious, Syao-chan has been surprisingly well behaved today after I told him I might hire Eriol to wolf-sit for me when I left. But he keeps breaking those sporks. *sigh* I told him they were useless, but he just keeps trying. Oh well, I still have 796 of the Sam's pack I bought left. ^_~ (For those of you who don't know, I tied Syaoran to a chair in my Fic Writing Hole (tm) to keep me company.)

Ger, thanks for the mp3s! I LOVE them! *.* And you too Laurel chan!

Love minna! Oyasumi!


*cackles*... Friday. February 9.2001. 12:24 a.m.

*is currently wondering exactly how many people have been profoundly traumatized forever by the Sumo Senshi* I got so many im's last night about it... I told you it was scary. I hope you all swallowed your beverages first.

Laurel chan, I read your blog (Btw, the new layout is gorgeous! *droooool*) *snickers* Aw, we may spend a few extra decades in Purgatory, but at least it will have been well worth it. ^_~

My roomie's fiancé came to visit this weekend. *waves at Josh* He came as a surprise, with his new (and no offence, pos) car. It does have a cool CD player and a sunroof though. Don't worry Sub Sub, I know that you are good enough for the team. Don't let one bad day get you down. *hug*

Anne-girl, I hope you and Kiki can come visit still.

Oh, minna! I drew a piccy tonight of Sakura and Syaoran in high school. If you wanna see it, it's here. It got a drool from Laurel chan and a 'kawaii yo' from Amanda, so I guess that means it's not bad. ^_^;; Ger, I wrote a little bit of katakana at the bottom if you want to see what my writing looks like.

Love minna! *hugs*


More fun stuff... Thursday. February 8.2001. 10:01 p.m.

Konbanwa minna! I have some MORE fun news! Wow, the last 2 days have been TOTEMO II DESU! I got the CCS Illustrations Collection 3 today! *drooooooool* It's beautiful, and even has the 2nd movie promo pics in it. *_*

The community theatre is holding auditions this weekend for their 2001 season musical company. I am thinking about trying out! I haven't done theatre in about 2 years, and I really miss it. Uh, don't hold your breath Anne and Kiki- I may not get the monologue memorized in time. And guess where it's from? *laughs* Spoon River. ^_~

I also saw the single most terrifying thing EVER today. It's here. Brace yourself. And make sure you swallow your drink first.

Anyway, everyone have a great night! And remember- tomorrow is FRIDAY! *hanyaaaaaan*


Fun stuff... Thursday. February 8.2001. 05:57 a.m.

Hello everyone! I found out something cool yesterday which I didn't put in my last blog entry. Two of my very best friends (One of them being Anne-girl who's coming to visit me! ^_^ and the other one is KIKI CHAN!!- I am SO proud of you guys!) from high school are in a play together at the community college, called Spoon River. Yay! I am going to try like none other to get down there for it, ok? I really am. Funny coincidence- a friend of mine here at school performed a monolouge from that same play last weekend. *waves at Jules*

The world is a fun fun place. Studio Wabee is taking preorders for the 2nd CCS movie!! *nikos/hearts/hanyaaaaaaaaans* I have been dying to get my hands on that movie. I know it'll be awhile, but just knowing that I have sent my money in and that it WILL be mine sometime in the future makes me a very happy person. *.*

Anyway, I have to go get ready for work. I just thought I would share that. I am so, so proud of both of them! And I am so excited about the movie!!

Love everyone! *hugs*


*is pissed*... Wednesday. February 7.2001. 10:40 p.m.

Ok, I had this long, fun message written out, then my fucking browser window CLOSED! ARRRRGH!

*coughs* Anyway, what I WAS saying was that today was really fun! With the exception of tests and discussion sessions. -_- I got my Kero chan and Suppi mini plushies! *.* *squeals* They are SOOOOOO kawaii! They have little doughnuts! *hearts* And they are presently guarding my anime collection. Btw, thanks Amanda for sending me the CCS files!

I called one of my best friends from high school *waves at Anne-girl* and she is COMING TO VISIT ME IN A FEW WEEKS! With her best friend Sarah H. in tow. ^_~ I am SOOO excited! I haven't seen her in 1 1/2 years! The only thing that sucks is that S can't come with them. ;_; S, you will be sorely missed.

I had dinner w/ a friend of mine who watched volume 8 of Utena with me tonight. *sighs* It's one of my faves. It inspired me to write a fanfic that I started earlier. Then I talked to Laurel chan and Ger on AIM. Thanks Ger for pointing out my quote error. *sweats* I will get the right one (w/ the right spelling -_-;;) soon.

Anyway, *yawns* I am heading off to bed. Oyasumi minna!


uh, help?... Wednesday. February 7.2001. 07:40 a.m.

Yay! Today is my imouto chan's b-day! *sings happy birthday to little sis* I love you Jamie! Have a great b-day!

I had a smallish request to ask everyone. If anyone happens to see anyplace where I can trade for or *cringe* buy raw Utena copies (or God help me, even dub- Thank God for mute buttons). I want to ATTEMPT to make a music vid, and all of my Utena is subbed. You can e-mail me.

*Hugs Ger* Ima daijoubu desuka? I hope so.

Minna san have a good day!


Archived... Tuesday. February 6.2001. 11:47 p.m.

Hey guys. I archived my last entry, but for those that didn't see it, I just mentioned stuff about my test and that I linked piccies to some of my faves lists *_*. If you want to read it, feel free.

I have a Japanese test tomorrow. I am sick of tests. I have another one next week. Not cool. *sigh*

Oyasumi minna!

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.
