*laughs derisively* look at that. negative 97. it...explains things?

at least watching i'm a man makes up for some of today.  i'd tap thaaaaaaaat. the whole choreography of ame ato is wonderful, but the cameraman for the one+love world event does not know how to please the fangirls, but does anybody really expect that? w-inds.m will not download past 3%. you fail, clubbox.

am now apologizing to all of the people that i complained to today. i really do nothing but complain, don't i. will not go on, don't worry. also, i learned that when you combine two DBSK fangirls that need to catch up for a web design project, the two of them get nothing done and instead spend the whole time squealing at really, really nice pictures. mmm.

happy mother's day, mommy. ♥ love you, buddy~ been listening to seamo's MOTHER for a lot of the day.

[info]shinigamitabris   . :3 i haven't done a meme in a while~ 

post seven songs you're currently into. it doesn't matter if they're new or old, good or bad, just seven songs you've been listening to lately. then tag seven people to do the same.

 

  1. color me - w-inds. [live @ ageha tour]
    cuz i want you to color my world~ i favor the live tour version to the studio version, just because it brings up the whole performance in my mind. heee.
  2. here comes the rain again - eurythmics
    ...shut up. if you went to dracula, performed by hths' always amazing musical theatre, this would be stuck in your head, too. live is so much better, everyone was amazing; actors, ensemble, and live band. better than the eurythmics version~ under pressure is also stuck in my head, too.
  3. falling in love with tv stars - oceanlane
    rock-punk-ish? is it called that? discovered them a little under a week ago! they are actually really good, and sing decent english with a cute japanese accent. :'D and this song reminds me of girl on tv by LFO. ahahaha.
  4. don't u ever stop - kat-tun [PV]
    this was inevitable, seriously. i should have never downloaded the pv, the plot thing they have is amazing. and ueda. why do i think you are cute. ): but aside from that, the song is catchy and danceable! and you should also listen to news' summertime. wtf that song is way too catchy and cute. not to mention they flail too much in the pv aka ryo is fail with a washingboard.
  5. kimi no suki na uta - uverworld [PV] [acoustic]
    okay, seriously, who does not love uverworld. this song is so romantic and lovely. the acoustic version is great as well, as is the PV.
  6. rhapsody in blue - da pump [PV]
    THIS IS ALL RYUICHI'S FAULT. from that w-inds.m a while ago! now this really won't get out of my head, so i start randomly dancing to it whenever it pops up. i love da pump :3 they are so cute, and not to mention i really, really love their songs in general. dance~!
  7. tokaikko junjou - c-ute [dance shot version]
    this was inevitable as well. what. i sort of expected MM here, but this song is amazing. wtf. and i sort of know the dance. :D

and then i drowned the troubles of another long week in a japanese tea cup sized serving of cookies 'n cream.

since...
since when has ice cream tasted so good as it touched my tongue and slid into my throat? i also haven't sat on this kid's couch, the kid i babysit, that it, in a while, listening to the machine gun gunshots from the television. call of duty four, of course. i don't think video games are ever going to be my thing. whenever i'm up here, i eat a lot. cookies, ice cream, some dinner, some japanese food, just a bit.

why did i worry so much about the biology and geometry test today? biology turned out easier than previously thought, but essays are made so wordy, wordy. everything i do is wordy. yes, everything in fine detail is the right way for me to get it out. this one question in the geometry test; i feel smart for once in that class for getting it correct without anyone else's help. i'd rather get something myself and get that euphoric feeling that you actually know what the hell you're talking about.

now i can understand sensei's cell phone conversations. she was asking her son why he got a B on his test.

gutmann went from talking about an amazing filipino resturant he could not remember the name of to how he met his current girlfriend. i'd like to bump into my future significant other with a shopping cart in the cheese section. he said it's hard to hate a filipino in general. that's pretty debatable, even applying that in general.

the teachers that talk to us like real people, and act like real people in front of us are, to me, the best. they leave the most lasting impressions.

the floor up in american literature is good for laying down and laughing on.

while watching videos, switching from 2001 to 2008 videos of the boys, i realized how much of a difference only seven years makes. i can never see myself growing up.

tomorrow's another day for ice cream savoring with company.

i miss ellegarden.

not my thing

Obviously, I’m not a person that learns from mistakes.

Yesterday, I decided to wear my contacts because I am slowly getting sick of seeing my face covered by these bright blue frames, though I can’t understand why. Anyway, last time I wore my contacts and took a nap in the bus, they got ripped at the corner.

While going home after a really tiring tutoring session (oh Jason why Jason why do you amuse everyone with your Japanese pronunciations and failure. I really don’t mind tutoring you, though.), I got tired and decided that, well, a little nap wouldn’t hurt anybody, would it? People usually get their comeuppance after even thinking that. Yesterday was no exception.
 
After waking up the second before the driver pulled up to my corner, I woke up and rushed off the bus with mind still in a haze, but my left eye was stinging. Would have been a funny sight had I not been wearing glasses, my face looked like this: x____O Well, it would have if I could wink my left eye.
 
Pulled out my contact, and lo and behold, there’s a nice gaping hole in my contact, right in the middle. Now, hole that is obviously missing a piece…where’d the piece go? 8D While I was trying to figure out if I blinked it out or it was somewhere in my eye, mom called, dad picked up the phone.
 
Apparently, she went to buy the Beard Papa’s cream puffs for me, and I was so surprised to hear that from her. But she had ended up at Uniqlo, a bit too far, so after finding directions, she got there successfully. And also came home with an amusing account of how the cream filling is put into the puffs. Thank you for your trouble, mommy~ Those were delicious, weren’t they?
 
Before sleeping, my eye went through a bit more self-inflicted abuse to try and find that missing piece of contact. I assumed it was there; no tears were coming out of that eye after yawning.
 
That damned piece of plastic was sitting on my bottom eyelid when I woke up. At least it came out. Lord, thank you.
 
But while I was sleeping, there was another dream where I told my biology teacher that I hated her. The second time. Must my subconscious be telling me something? I hate when it happens, the person I am talking to mocks me with a smile. I think that was brought on by all the biology and stress for the state test. There were other things, but I forgot them already. Did it have to do with cream puffs? Or some person?

The weekend looms very close, and I’m excited. Saturday, I’m finally going to watch Dracula and then a bunch of us are going to invade Hoboken to get some good food. Kuya and I just want some good Ben & Jerry’s and Coldstone. Food makes the world go round.
 
Sunday, there might be a little family barbeque in honor of mother’s day. I have to make a cat for my mom in time for Sunday; it’s going to be a bit hard, I guess.
 
Finally grown into my haircut, mostly. I was having fun being girly, but my body won’t let me have long hair, so all I can do is comply and complain. Looking back at pictures from when I was much, much younger is painful now.
 
I want to see that flower road segment from mezamashi tv that w-inds. was on this week. Grown men on an orange and yellow bike. Not even a bike, a tricycle with a front and back basket. Who wouldn’t smile at that? And Ryohei unknowingly mocked me with his “my jacket is actually black but for some reason because of the light, it’s purple.”
 
For sure, precalculus is on the list of things to do this summer. Japan probably isn’t. I’m disappointed. I stopped asking.
 
Homework and exercise gets harder and harder to accomplish day after day.

Friday at 7. Sold-out. My parents are going. I'm incredibly nervous. Not about the show, about them coming. They've never really approved of me doing this musical theatre band thing. I approve of me doing that and that's all that matters. I don't why I'm nervous. I shouldn't be nervous. I wasn't nervous last week.
-breathes-
I hope the Korg does not freak out and change patches on me. I think I should just do it manually.
I can do this.

We'd like to remind you that the nomination process for LiveJournal Advisory Board user-representatives has begun. If you think you're fit for the job, now's the time to nominate yourself! After all, you're the only who can do it. In two weeks, on the 22nd, the voting process will begin; we'll remind you about it again here.

If you're interested in keeping up with the nominations, watch [info]lj_election_en. We'll post the results and announce the winner by the end of the day on May 30th. The new user-representatives will be seated on June 1st. Further details can also be found in [info]lj_2008.

Advisory Board Nominations Open

Advisory Board Nominations Begin

This morning we are opening the nomination process for the user-representative positions on the LiveJournal Advisory Board. A full description of the process can be found here.

To get you started, here are the basic things you should know:

- You may only nominate yourself
- Each nominee will need 100 motions of support in order to be eligible to be a candidate
- We ask that you keep your comments on the nomination posts to "I support this nomination" or something to that effect; be kind to those who will need to count the "supports", please.
- Although the nominations and election poll will take place in [info]lj_election_en, you do not need to watch the community in order to keep up with the election; we'll announce everything here as well.

Everyone here at LiveJournal is looking forward to this first-ever User-Representative election! We'd like to thank everyone who is participating. Some words from our current Advisory Board members:

danah boyd: “LiveJournal is filled with very passionate users. These users have helped shaped LJ's various communities over the last decade and it gives me great joy that LJ is recognizing and incorporating users' voices into the decision-making processes. Having user representatives from different parts of LJ on the Advisory Board will help make sure that the company is meeting the needs of its diverse constituents.”

Esther Dyson: "I'm sure we'll learn a lot from the process, and later on from the two users selected as well. Especially, I hope that the discussions before the voting will be more meaningful and more focused on policy than those in some offline campaigns."

Brad Fitzpatrick: "It's cool that SUP is getting users involved with the LiveJournal decision-making process. I look forward to seeing who the community elects and the results of our efforts working together."

Professor Lawrence Lessig: “The user elections will provide a critical check on LJ's process of maintaining a valuable and trustworthy environment for the LJ community. The mandate of the elections will give the user representatives pride of place among the members of the Advisory Board. Each of us will look to them to guide us in our judgment about how best to make LJ the community we all aspire that it will be. I look forward to welcoming the user representatives, and learning a great deal from them.”


[info]chasethestars has also made some banners for you to use, if you'd like to show your support for the candidate of your choice!

Banners + code for you to use! )

i really hate my new haircut. it looks exactly like my last one. the bangs annoy me. they don't go to any particular side. hair wax please.

and right now, i am getting persuaded to go back to dance. i don't know. i don't care much for going anymore. or it could be that i just don't want to be incredibly inferior in front of people that are blatantly awesome.

foods that are very salty, oily, or sweet do not agree with my stomach anymore. i cannot take it anymore.

clearly i am not ready for summer aka i tried on a really cute swimsuit and it was horrid. 

why are there no clips of ryo and ryu doing their solo promotion things.

am going to try and get out of school early to catch the 88 to jsq. that will fail if you know  me well.

 i remember two years ago when i was always all happy and trying to get people to be like that, too. those days are long past. the thing is, when you look back, two years isn't that long, but at the same time, it is. 

i wish nobody would talk to me when i don't want to be talked to.
