Happy first of September!
Yeah, so I figured an update was needed. Mostly because I think I've been taken into the dark corridors of the world of fandom for... Morning Musume. No, really.
I tried throughout the years to get into Morning Musume even though I vaguely knew about their existence (and discovered the graduation system through a process of "Who the hell is that?" and "Where is that one chick in this video?"). Because their music is definitely an acquired taste (and way too HAPPYOMGLETSBEGAY for me at a lot of times), it took... a lot of years. Finally, I heard Resonant Blue some time in the spring of '09 last semester and fell in semi-love. I loved the melody and the "dakedo, nee, nee, dakedo" parts. Let's face it; they just sound cool. For once, the chorus didn't ruin the song to me, and I just couldn't help loving the dance in the music video, so Resonant Blue was an instant hit with me. The part when the girls line up and do that weird arm-thing in the music video is fun as hell; can't even explain why. It just is.

Because any MM fan is aware of the retardedness of the group when it comes to hiding 80% of the members in the background, I decided to learn the names of every single girl in the group so they'd stop confusing the hell out of me in videos. Mitsui Aika popped out immediately to me in the ~Another Version~ of the music video, and since I couldn't figure out who the heck she was (since she pretty much disappeared into the background at all times during the regular PV), I looked her up, figured out who she was, and fell in love. The girl is gorgeous and has such interesting mannerisms, lmao. Possibly because I didn't see her when she first joined, I'm able to appreciate how beautiful she's grown up to be. The rule that ugly baby = beautiful adult and vice versa has never been wrong in my experience, so Mitsui's growing up to be a bangin' babe. The dudes probably disagree with me, but girls know these things so gtfo. The short, crinkled hair she wears in the live performances of Shouganai Yume Oibito show her at her best, I think. Long hair doesn't suit her, but I think her short hair is best when styled like that.
The ~Another Version~ version of Resonant Blue's PV:

Plus, really, the girl can dance her ass off. That surprised me when I learned that she was the youngest member (15 or 16 for the PVs I was watching), so I expected her to need to stay in the background during dance routines because of her obvious inexperience, but she really surprised me when I watched the dance versions of Naichau Kamo and Shouganai Yume Oibito. Bitch can dance!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK_eFthw UXA
Just as a side note: Shouganai Yume Oibito was the song that sealed the deal for me. I heard that and knew I was no longer on the fence about the group. I absolutely love the song and the dance. It showed me that the girls in the group really are the talk and the walk.
And lastly, after watching them more and more, I discovered that Junjun is a beast. Like damn, look at that girl.

I first saw her in the Naichau Kamo PV during the part when all the girls are soaking wet from the rain, and I couldn't figure out who she was, but every time she came on screen looking all sad and drenched, I just kept saying, "Hot damn, that girl is beautiful." Not to mention that when I finally heard some solo lines from her (live version of SONGS for the Platinum 9 Concert), I realized she really can sing too. And she has a personality that sets her apart from the other girls who, to me, appear like pampered babies when it comes to real-life issues (not that ~idols~ really have to deal with that much). Junjun has a strong personality and seems to me that she wouldn't run off crying if someone attacked her, which I can picture several of the other girls doing.

So that's enough to wrap it up for now. It's just an update on what I've been up to lately as far as really random shit goes. I have issues with some members of the group (Koharu and Sayumi, I want to like you, but the fact remains that you cannot sing to save your lives and no amount of training has changed that). As a whole though, they're good.
Oh, and I realized that Maki Goto is way better off being signed with avex trax. She's released some amazing songs. I always thought her H!P sexy songs were... strange. Like songs trying in some weird H!P way to be sexy with lots of tits and ass in the music videos. I find her avex material much sexier with much better music and much better use of her voice. Just sayin'.

lol, I've never done this before, but there goes my reason for reading Bleach... even though I kept getting months behind on keeping up with it at all. Jeez, that's so disappointing. I didn't even realize I liked him that much (since there's really nothing to like), but apparently I did. D:

Sweet, I got my Delerium CD in the mail today. Kinda surprised that it took so long since I ordered it last week, but it's coo'.
Getting books today. Argh, so don't wanna do it, but no choice. ene Library's gonna be closed all weekend, so... yeah. I'm kind of excited (and scared shitless) of this semester, so yay! Registered for Saturday School and everything. I'm on top of it.

I am, like... so spazztastic right now. And I feel like using my Haine icon, so bam. POOW. pooh. haha.
Oh ho ho, mm yes, I finally got some shit done on book 2. Praise Allah. (God: *SMITES*) I certainly love the characters, but I hate them. They all have a mind of their own, and before I know it, I'm being used for their advancement. (I'm totes just the person who writes their stories down. I swear they're only telling me what to write. Is that what they call a muse? Except mine are abusive. Like--"BAM, AMBER, YOU WILL WRITE ME OR I WILL CRACK YOU IN THE FACE!" Are those kinds of muses acceptable? I didn't think so. I call abuse. You've seen it here ~first~. *suddenly thinks of the Maury Show music*)
Anyway, I'm in a strangely happy mood today, probably 'cause this is the first time I've gotten something done all break. Shit, I just remembered I have to go out tomorrow, so I can't stay up late tonight. D: Woe is me.
I want to give two of my characters a language. Like, make one up for them, but I'm afraid to do it. I feel like, to do it properly, I'd have to study linguistics. And that means I'd have to transfer schools. And that means I'd fail at life. IDK, I LIKE DOING THINGS ~RIGHT~, Y'KNOW?! I'm going to be the death of me one day.
I keep having these really fucktarded dreams lately. These past two weeks have been ridiculous. I dreamt last night (or the night before, idr) that my family had to leave town because of... y'know, some gay, overdone movie crap where everyone has to evacuate... and we left Maxine. ;-; I was yelling at my mom (since she was driving--and she NEVER drives, so like, wtf. I'LL be driving us out of town before my mom does) to go back and get her, but she wouldn't. So I was a saaad panda. /South Park reference
IDK, I JUST FEEL LIKE SPAZZING. If bandwidth were killing something like sheets of paper kill trees and shit, I'd totes feel awful for all the spazzing I do, but I can't help it. My brain is just ~special~ like that. Sometimes, you just gotta let it out~ So let it out, gaiz. Let it out; I'm here for you~ *not making any sense anymore*
MM'KAYYEAH, so I'll stop there. Whee~!
Y'know, now that I think about it, I had some oj the other night that tasted bad. And I drank it anyway. Swear that shit was spiked. I blame the oj.

New userpiiic~ this time of Haine Rammsteiner from Dogs: Bullets & Carnage. I've been reading Dogs for forever and a day, but it's a monthly release, so it's sometimes hard to remember wtf was even happening in the last chapter.
Most recent chapter, chapter 36, kicked all kinds of ass, so I figured I needed one in my archive. I don't like it, but it'll suffice~ I needed another nice lil' generic icon, but I hope to do the series real justice one day. eueHaine does not approve.

HAPPY LATE NEW YEAR!
Sooooo, I had a wonderful Christmas. Got an Xbox 360, so exciting! They've got some great games, so I've been able to play some good games for the first time in, pfft, half a year or so.
Worth the wait. Hope everyone else had a great holiday, and specifically in nee-chan's case, a good Hanukkah(?). eue You celebrate that, right~? Since I know you're Jewish, but I don't know if you practice it or not. xD

On another note, I've begun the planning stages for another story. More like, I finished the first book for the story but now I'm revamping it, scrapping the first book, and starting over from scratch. Haha. Gotta love the creative process.

At home now and happier than ever! I kind of wish I could get the balls up to write something, but I've gotten about half a page of one of my stories and just called it quits. I don't really like it. Blargh. On the upside... um..... Christmas! Yaay! Hannukah! (Hope I spelled that right. e_e; ) Whatever you celebrate, I hope you have a good one!
Got my dorm all organized now that Mel's gone. There's so much space, I could just om nom it. Sexy sexaaay.
Anyway, that's about it.
I'll eat'chu up~ so yum yum

Uuuggghh. I'm so ready for this semester to be over. I need my friends back in my life again. :\ I miss being with people I can relate to and just having someone to hang with when everything else is pissing me off.
Rooming with someone is harder than I thought it would be. I hate saying that since I don't have a problem with Mel, but just having to compromise on my own personal space is more challenging than I'd expected. Maybe it's just me, but I feel guilty when I get pissed because her stuff is on my side of the room. Mainly because I'm usually tripping over it first, but still... and I've never had a messy room. Cluttered maybe, but never messy, so that's a personal issue I'm trying to handle when her clothes and... other shit... are all over the floor. I didn't realize any of this stuff bothered me until recently when it's a week away from winter break and I'm ready to just relax and enjoy myself once in a while. Argh. Maybe it would help if she was actually ever in the room too. The fact that she doesn't sleep/live there might play into my pissiness with her stuff. Maybe I get mad because she's not even ever there and it feels unfair to me to have to share space with an unoccupied bed and other stuff. Kind of like, if she doesn't live there, why should her stuff get to be there? I dunno, I'm actually just venting... in one big paragraph.
Line break. Whoo~
Idk, I'm tired. I hate that I always make a post like this just about every year at some point, but maybe I'm just too fucking tolerant of everything. When I have a thought on my mind, I just keep it to myself. That shit just piles up and then one day, bam, it just hits you. I know that's all my fault, but it doesn't help the annoyance any. I hate that all the little things have to be obstacles to me. I can handle death threats, fires, killings, all SORTS of major drama in stride and never let it get to me. But the little things always seem to be able to do that.
On an entirely unrelated, un-vent-ified note:
Sorry I missed you today too, Shara! @_@ I was in the other room talking to my mom and didn't get to see that you'd IMed me. How's life? How's school? eue Do tell~

Bored but that's better than having homework to do. Trying to fully realize my nerdiness by purchasing D.Gray-Man stuff, but there's really nothing worth buying. I also never realized making the decision to buy a TV was so hard. I refuse to put down more than $200 for one, but it's impossible to find a TV worth shit that's below that. Blargh. The lowest I can find for a worthwhile TV is about $250-$300, which isn't TOO bad. Ugh...
Waiting for Final Fantasy XIII/Fabula Nova Crystallis is beginning to be a bit of a pain. PS3 games take too long.
Watched Saw V a few days back. I liked III and IV better, but V was a semi-good conclusion to the series. I'm a newly instated Twilight fanatic, though I think the books suck balls and the movie was awesome. It'll take some work to make those books into worthwhile movies, but I have faith after the first one. In the meantime, I have writer's block. e_e;; Tired. /rant
Christmas is coming and winter break is just a week away! I'm kind of excited though I'm afraid of sitting on my ass that long. Maybe the fact that I have a computer right now is what's boring me. xD I was doing just fine until I got this temporary laptop situation set up. It's all good, I don't really plan to use a computer during winter break. here's to hoping for lots of video games. @u@

I haven't made a real entry in forever. xD I just realized that after glancing down at the last five or so entries.
So don't think this one's going to be any different. I just love doing useless things.
