Yess, today has been good-no tragic news from my family yet today, which is a good sign...the way things have been going thus far, I wouldn`t be surprised if they called and said that my house had burnt down or something. I think I`m doing okay-ice cream, alcohol, and copious amounts of bishounen-stuffed manga are always nice. Well, maybe not the alcohol-lately, when I`ve been drinking my daily can o` chu-hi, I`ve been getting...dizzy. Well, maybe it`s because I got orange this time (last week was strawberry, and the week before was peach)-I haven`t had a reaction like this to an other, except to some plum chu-hi I had at a restaurant a while ago. Dunno.Sorry to have not written again-I`m just being a lazy creature, as I usually am. Still am feeling lost without Brass Club, and have been trying to fill the void by watching unhealthy amounts of Marmalade Boy, which isn`t necessarily a good idea-I`m slightly cheesy and stupidly sentimental currently, so more angst isn`t always nice. Still, I am DETERMINED to finish the ENTIRE series-I just have one more tape left at I finish this one, and then it`s on to the Ayashi no Ceres anime and more than likely the Evangelion movies. Gods, how I love Japanese video stores-in the US, they seem to have about 3 or 4 random tapes, BAD things if you`re attempting to watch a series. I also want to see Cowboy Bebop now-I stumbled across some CB manga at the used CD/bookstore (aka my home, especially when Yuri decides to tachiyomi for a couple hours, which is pretty much everytime we go), and it looks interesante-you know, Faye`s outfit reminds me vaguely of hide, for some reason-must be the whole yellow vinyl thing. Also found the Seimaden manga series, which features pretty pretty boys with wings and loads of angst, which is always I dunno-still, for some reason I don`t really like the art as much as I used to; Kaori Yuki, Watase Yuu, and CLAMP spoiled me. Speaking of CLAMP, I also found the X series, but I don`t think I`m going to get it-I was scarred for life by the X movie (THE HEAD! IT FLOATS!). Not that it was bad by any stretch of the imagination, it`s just whenever you try to cram 16 or (I`m sure it`s actually more) volumes of manga into a single movie, it ain`t gonna work. Anybody have any good suggestions of manga series for me to try? I can pretty much get anything I want there, and for dirt-cheap...sadly, no doujinshi there (I have to go dig around Kobe and Osaka for that), but hey, it`s all good. So, feel free to scrawl in your favourite manga on the guestbook or something-it`s on the sidebar. Yesterday, after I replied to my parents` e-mail about the Evil One, they called me, terribly worried, because I mentioned something about having a bad week and they felt that from the way I wrote I was ready to come home. I just told them I was kind of sad about Brass Club being over-didn`t mention Soba. Nope, my family doesn`t know about Soba, nor do I intend to tell them; my parents and I have never really been close in matters like that, I do NOT discuss my personal life with them. I don`t understand how some people can just go and tell their parents everything-in matters relating to relationships, I keep my mouth shut. Hell, if I ever get married, I almost wonder if I`d want to tell them-crazy thought, I know, but it`s true-it`s think it`s because we NEVER see eye to eye on matters like that. It always comes up, because my grandparents ALWAYS ask when they come over if I have a boyfriend, if I`ve thought about marriage-no, no, and NO. And then they start telling me, "Oh, you need someone like your father who`s calm to balance you. And make sure he`s Christian, of course." -_-***...calm is not me. Sho is a slightly volatile, spontaneous, rather intense and passionate child-I don`t want someone to "balance" me, I want someone who can keep up with me-trust me, I tried that balance with Kel-chan, and it did NOT work. Why are they so worried, anyway? Spinsterhood isn`t such a terrible thing, perhaps-I can`t really say, as I`m not in a position to; gods, I`m only 17 bloody years old to begin with. I think that if we were in a country where arranged marriage was custom, I`d be gone already... Last night, around 12:30, Yuri and I were just sitting in her room talking when who should burst in my interesting seldom-present host brother, Hiroshi, clad in white shorts and CATS shirt, gaping at me-heh, apparently no had told him I was here, and he was slightly surprised. He`s being his usual self; running in demanding dinner (reminds me of Ueda`s weird cell phone-he has pictures of Dir en grey members on the screen, and he likes to make it scream "Gohan...GOHAN!!"...yeah, I told you Ueda was not exactly the most normal creature ever spawned), informing us he hasn`t paid his gas bill in 6 months so he lives at the sento...::shakes head::. I swear, I REALLY wonder how the hell he and Yuri are related...they`re like night and day. Today one of his friends came over to go golfing with him, right after I came out of the shower-heh, people always seem to find it interesting when random American girls parade around the house. Actually, his friend was kind of cute-he seemed highly amused by my Kansai-ben, as everyone seems to be...gods people, you`re IN Kansai, it`s natural to speak it, ne? Dunno how long Hiroshi`s going to be here, but I`m sure it will NOT be dull, particularly when he starts driving us around-actually, Yuri & I are discussing having him drive us up to Mt. Rokko, with Naoya in tow-could be fun, if Nao-kun`s mom lets us SPEAK to him x_x;;;...ah, how much fun teenage angst and stupid problems are... I was looking through Yuri`s little booklet of people who did the ISS thing in Australia, and just realized that addresses in Thailand are disturbingly long-we`re talking street names like Klongchanlapratan, Moo (not long, but still slightly hen), Sriayudhaya, Niphatsongkhroah, Sukhapibal...all sorts of madness. Yes, there`s a REASON I`m attempting to Japanese and not Thai... More strangeness-I think there`s someone in Japan who`s reading this. I wonder if they`re from Nishinomiya? Oh, a nice thank you to whoever read this thing for 40 minutes the other day-it makes my heart sing everytime my average reading time goes up a second. Yeehaw, 2:00+ or bust. Ah well, I need to scoot-today, Yuri-chan and I are going to go karaoke for 6 hours, because we are dreadful karaoke whores. Anyways, later minna-plus a welcome home to Misha (yarg, I wanted to see Jess too; my lovely ex-sempai), and I`m happy for Ari-chan-I hope things go well. Ja ne!
