…whaddiya know

It dawned on me that his remembrance was a few days ago.
…
So it’s been two years already…
Wow, the years just seem to pass by so fast.
Heh…

Well, here’s to you, old man. You were never a good father to me but seems like to everyone else, you were a wonderful kind of guy.

Music: 椎名林檎 - 茎（ＳＴＥＭ）～大名遊ビ編～

I got Stem!

*rolls* Hakubundo just happened to have one more copy yesterday. Now my wallet is competely empty for this week but it's because I have Shiina Ringo's new single and it was worth buying! X3 They even had Drain Away but since there was a few more copies left, I'll just go back next week when I have the money ^_^
Stem is such a beautiful song. Violins, Flutes, heck a whole orchestra is playing it. Didn't expect it being in English since the title is in Kanji, although it is pronouced "Stem" ^^ Either way, I'm happy to hear new Shiina songs again X3 Now if I could only see the video...

Yesterday I got a two free tickets from my drama class to see a preview of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest at this theater. *sniff* It's such a good yet sad story. Whether you see the movie or the play version of this book, it still leaves this sad pain in your chest at the end. And God, that Nurse was such a stubborn bitch! T_T I hope I never have to meet someone as mean as her...

Heh heh, check out Charcoal Filter's new DVD. It looks like a Malboro cigarette case! XD Sanzo brand~ *does a Goldfish snerk*

You are Masa...You are a pedophile's wet dream,

はい はい, Quick Blog ね~

Let's see, new layouts here, here, and here. All of them are pretty, of course ^_^

Mari at the moment really really wants this but can't get it beacuse even if she did, she would still need an all-region DVD player to play it on >_< Crrraaaapppp

Recently listened to Drain Away. Pretty good, has a nice beat and everything. Not as addictive as Child Prey but I probably still gonna buy the single anyway ^^

And I know you two will be taking this later on ^__^

Which La'cryma Christi Member are You? Find out yourself!
Quiz made by Jelli :B!

Funny. I found him a little scary when I first saw him with his long long hair. But he is pretty ^_^

And since it has been a long time that I posted some results...


The Subculture Label Quiz
brought to you by Quizilla
You are.. UNIQUE! Wow, you are a rare breed. You do what you want, say what you want, and wear what you want. Screw labels and subcultures! You may be considered one of the oddest people in your school, but you really could care less. What matters is what you like, and what you like only. You're a shining star!

...eheh ^^;


What Dir en Grey Anatomy Are You?

Music: SHAZNA - 恋人

Out of all the songs that I listen to, it just had to be…

And yet again I have songs which at the moment cannot get out of my head.
One of them is Pierrot's Last Letter.
The other's SHAZNA's Koibito.

I know that I always tend to have these "can't get a certain song outta my head" moments quite frequently on a weekly basis. Now Last Letter I can stand. It's sad, it has a lonely yet beautiful melody to it. It even makes you feel a little pain in your heart. Right now I love this song very dearly.
Koibito on the other hand, is different from the above. After all, SHAZNA songs always seem to give you a happy sort of feeling. Now certainly this song is much slower than say Melty Love or Aqua but it still makes you wanna smile and forget about all your worries and your troubles and all that sort of shit. It’s just the kind of song that I don’t need to be hearing.

Not that I’m saying that I’m depressed or anything, really. I’m actually pretty neutral at the moment. I’m still taking the time to enjoy my life and yet I still know what I have to do. Maybe something like knowing that you’re in a dream but figure you might as well enjoy it until you wake up from it.
I don’t know, it’s something like that sort of crap. I have a feeling that most of the who will be reading this will wonder what the fuck am I talking about and that’s okay. Even I myself don’t know why I should be feeling this way with all these great things that are happening to me for the past few weeks. But right now, I just don’t want to have an optimist feeling in me. Pessimist isn’t great either but definitely not an optimist one. Not right now anyway...

Although what I’m wondering about now is why the heck do I have both a sad and a happy song stuck in my head at the time. *sigh* Well, I guess I should be considered a little lucky that it’s a slow happy song. I know I caught myself the other day singing the lyrics of Sumire September Love *twitch* That would have been worse, definitely -_-;;

How Mari spent her morning today

Today I woke up around 5 to go to school. And as the usual routine, my mom drives me to school, drops me off, and goes to work. After that I go to the library to kill some time until classes start.
But today a librarian notices me and asks if I knew that there wasn't any school today.
Which of course I didn't since nobody told me; probably because I've missed quite a lot of school the past few weeks.
So thus now knowing this, I picked up my very heavy bag, went to the bus stop and waited for my route to come, and walked back home.

And now I would like to share some of my inner feelings at the moment...

fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck ohgawddamn FUCK!!!

Thus now I will be going back to my nice soft bed where I shall wake until double digits appear on that clock of mine...

EDIT: It has suddenly come to my attention that I have been kind of a bitch for the past few days. To those I have offended recently I sincerely apologize. *bow*

Just put up the PLC sprites

*stretches back* They might look sorta off on this layout but they're probably still gonna be cute ^___^
Oh and if ya point your mouse on them, they each give a little info on their character. PLC likes giving their "characters" each a profile. I just so happen to know a lot about PLC School since I love this era the most ^___^

...Dangit, whenever I hear SHAZNA music I feel cute and so...happy, and...Fluffy! >< Gah~, where's my Kagerou mp3s? My Plastic Tree? Need... Angst... x_@

EDIT: *stares at new Goku button*
Hee hee, Goku dear, by any chance, what is that white liquidy stuff you're licking off your fingers~? ^_____^

I just realized that the Shiina Ringo and Dir en grey singles came out this week...
*kicks brain a few times* Dang thing keeps fails on me more when I get sick x_@
Erf, I don't wanna Marvin again. I just asked him to get me that Psycho le Cemu single.

Went back to school today since I was getting better. Missed quite a bit of important stuff in English >< Damn that class.
Oh and I was dragged to rehearsal by Ms. Nani, even though my voice isn't fully better yet O_o Wa~

Also just caught up with Hikaru no Go ^^; It's been so long since I watched that show, I almost forgot how much I loved it.
Mari (watchin' HnG): きゃ~~ん! Sai~! かわいい かわいい~~!! XD XD

*pokes* Ne~, can I keep a green haired Aiji too? I know you made it for miffy but it's so cute XD

Which reminds me, *bad engrish pronunciation* Mifyuuu, I Missu Yuuu! Kamu Baaakku! XD

Music: 雅 (Miyavi) - Pop is Dead

How I spent my somewhat day off from school

*cough* Since my cough was getting worse, Mom decided I should just stay home for the day. At the moment I’m getting a little better, after drinking a few cups of orange juice and the chicken noodle I made by myself. My first time making soup from a packet and I soak the kitchen floor while doing so ^^; The sickness has gotten to my brain already.
So I spend most of the day on the compy, drinking orange juice/chicken noodle, watching old Jrock PVs. Jun sure looked cute in his school boy shirt he had on in Last Letter PV *expects getting whacked by a certain someone for that comment* But Aiji did look reaaally hot in his lovely short shorts ^^

Found a copy of Kagrra’s new PV recently. Such a neat video; Japanese geisha and blood do well with each other ^_^ Isshi was sexi as always with his hand movements and all and Nao made this cute little face in the PV ^_^
And I finally finished downloading that Pop is Dead PV that I had for a while now. Very amusing, yesh. Miyabi on vocals, and Miyabi on guitar, and Miyabi, on bass, and Miyabi on drums… *cackles* XD
Speaking of which I have also found a copy of Jingle Bells as well ^_^ Miyabi sneeze is so cute! I love it! XD

New layouts here (Oh…my… O.O Definitely not made for the younger viewers but pretty nevertheless ^^;) and here (Wa~ Chibi Inu Tsuzuki~ *smooshies* ^___^)

*waves* Hi Hi ^_^ Thanks for being so kind and sharing your Furuba pics to people ^_^

My, what a coincidence. Seeing that I do own a blog and all ^_^
