<--Gackt is so ganster. Really... Okay, hum, awkward... So, I haven't updated in a while. This isn't much of an update anyway, so you can just move along, I guess. News? Hm, I and Olivia are going to a Dir en grey concert in February. =D We got the tickets last Monday. Hurrah. Other news? School is boring business. I don't know if I'm going to last to spring, really. I'm suffering from not having a teacher that helps me remember things. It's just pages and pages of information and they expect you to memorize it... The worst is History. I never realized how utterly boring it is when you're not being taught. Okay, I did realize it the year we had Mr. Bates as our History teacher and I nearly failed the class, but still learing History from a computer isn't fun.

I still need a lot of you to tell me what you want for Christmas. >:( Don't make me get Kyo to eat you. Caucasian's his favorite flavor. =)

Now for the real reason I am updating... I took two analyzing thingy things and I felt like posting them because I'm just so intrapersonal like that (Apparantly, intrapersonal people like learning and telling how their minds work... or something.). It'd be pretty neat if you were to take them too and post them on your little piece of webspace. Mmyes.

Haha, it's nice to see that I'm pretty well-defined when it comes to my instabilities. But wait, I'm schizoid and avoidant? That's kinda contradictory ne? Psh, that's what you get for taking online quizes I guess...

This one's not quite as interesting as the first, but I did get a kick out of the accuracy of the "trait snapshot" thing... except for "fearless" and "tough". heh.

Sorry about the meaninglessness of this post. I'll try to finish my comic I'm working on soon so I can give you a decent update...

mmyes. To summarize this post, this was the summer of musical enlightenment. I counted a couple days ago, and there are 8 bands or musical artists that I pretty much just discovered this summer: Hyde, Gackt, Asian Kung-Fu Generation, L'Arc~en~Ciel, Dir en Grey, and Apocalyptica. (I also really like a couple songs from MUCC, Közi, Bump of Chicken, Noodles, BUCK-TICK, Moi dix Mois, and X Japan, but I really do not have the time or money to get obsessed with them too, lol) 5/6 of the aforementioned are Japanese (the last one is from Finland), thus making me feel even more like a total geek. My friends insist that it's cool that pretty much all the music I like is Japanese, but it makes me feel like an "Asiaphile", which is basically a non-Asian who loves everything Asian (or just Japanese in my case) simply because it's Asian and hate their own culture because it's not. I like to think that I'm not a dreaded Asiaphile, but it's kind of difficult all my favorite music happens to be from the Land of the Rising Sun. I'd like to appreciate more music from this country and others, but I don't like most of the very popular stuff and I don't know where I can find out about what's good outside the mainstream scene. Any suggestions would be quite welcome. On a similar subject, it's worth noting that none of the artists on my playlist are Christian either, which does make me sad. I try some of the music suggested by the Christian media reviewer "PluggedIn", but they're selected specifically as holier alternatives to mainstream music, so they sound pretty similar to it. bleh. So basically (I use that phrase WAY too much.), what I'm asking is for suggestions for any Christain bands that sound original and good. yup...

Yeah, I know, this is one of my most boring weblogs yet. I'm sorry. Tell me what you think would be intersted to read about and I'll try to write about it. :)

Well, as some of you may or may not already know, I have returned from my exploits in North America's own Disneyworld. Sure, it was a lot of fun... maybe...

By the way, sushi is AWESOME. Don't let anyone tell you differently.

um.... yeah... I'm a bit too lazy to go into my dusty backlogs of memories to tell you of what adventures I had in the magical world of ded-guy-whose-name-starts-with-W. I did spend all of my $200 there though, so I'll just take a picture of the junk I had when I got back from Disneyworld that I didn't bring with me. They say a picture's worth a 1000 words, right? whatever authority "they" have to denounce the value of any given photograph...

Keep in mind that I didn't purchase 100% of all the items shown in this picture (nor are 100% of the items I purchased intended for my use). The chair in particular certainly did not come out of my budget. Actually, that didn't come from Florida at all; but now I'm just being weird.

The three CDs pictured, the I am 8bit book, and the NES controller CD case were all bought by me at the Virgin Megastore. Yes, all three CDs originally premiered in Japan. Yes, I phail at life, but it's something I happily live with.

I couldn't fit another item I got in that first picture so I just took a separate one... It supposedly has my name in Chinese written on it, but I can't be sure because of my lack of Chinese-reading prowess. The guy who wrote it seemed pretty grumpy, so what's written there could just as well be "I ate your children" for all I know...

One more thing:

SNAKES ON A PLANE



That is all.
