MiChi

気になってます！カラオケで歌いたいです！she just recently debuted and her first single is called "PROMiSE". it's reallyx2 good. the bf got me hooked. lol

イギリス人と日本人のハーフなんだって～。だからかやっぱ歌唱力は抜群ね。８歳まで神戸で育ち、（関西！！めっちゃエエで～）１８歳ぐらいまでイギリスで育った帰国子女。obviously, her english is really good. unlike most japanese singers who murder their songs by trying to sound hip using english. 頼むから、英語下手ならあんま使うな。（笑）

ま、でもまだ聞いたことがない人は是非とも聞いて欲しいですね。アップテンポで踊れる曲で～す♪　i am really looking forward to singing it at karaoke. hopefully, i don't butcher it with my horrible singing. haha

well, i'm a bit depressed right now so i might go to sleep soon. i was supposed to see my friends today but couldn't. もう、すぐ日程を変更するから、、、中々スケジュール調整が効かない．．．残念！

Happy belated thanksgiving & black friday~

HAPPY BELATED THANKSGIVING!!! stuffed full of turkey?? not me. my mom doesn't like turkey. haha.
oh yea~. sexy turkey. lol

so, today was black friday!! 買い物行った人～？？は～い。（笑）i went to circuit city and best buy. i wanted to buy an external hd but they were still a bit too pricey. 何か、結構期待はずれだった～。あんま安くなかった。but the bf bought a gps and a dslr camera. good for him.

でも、おかげでちょー寝不足。だって、昨日夜中に家出て、we did a quick survey of prospective stores. the circuit city we went to had no line but man, frys and best buy were jaw-dropping. the line at frys went once around the building. and the thing is FREAKIN' HUGE!!! すごいな～としか言いようがない。皆さん必死ね。

んで、その後いったん、彼ん家に帰って、２時過ぎぐらいに寝て、６時ぐらいに起きた。（本当は５時に起きるはずが．．．彼が目覚まし止めてそのまま爆睡。バカでしょ？笑）and i have been up since. i guess i'm on this weird high right now due to the lack of sleep but i'm sure by 10, maybe even 9, i'll be dead. haha.

anyways, hope everyone was able to get some good deals and some quality family time. thank you. :)

マジ凹み中～

明日、来るはずだった彼が来ない．．．ま、自分のせいっちゃあ自分のせいなんだけどね。i don't know... for some reason, i have a hard time saying what i really want to say, even to the bf. ためちゃうんだよね。何か、損してる気がする。

っていうか、ココロが狭いんだよね～。i think the reason why i got kinda irritated was because he said he was going to be late tonight because he was going to talk to his friend. i don't mind them talking. but why are you going to be so late!? 私もしゃべりたい！って思っちゃう。何であっちとはそんなにしゃべって、私とはあんまりしゃべらないの？それでなくてもあんまり共通点がないことがコンプレックスなのに。私といて楽しいのかな？元々つまらない人間だし？i can be a bit clingy... (ok, maybe very clingy...) 特技なんてないし。家族はめちゃくちゃだし。相手として絶対不足してると思う。

こんなどうしようもない女のどこがいいのでしょう？big mystery. if i were a guy, i don't think i would choose myself for a gf. and i'm so dependent on him. 最低の彼女だね。そんな私を選んでくれたあなたは私にとってかけがえのない存在です。いつもいつもごめんね？そして、ありがとう。できれば、これからも末永くよろしくお願いいたします。

~edit @ 8:44 a.m. on Monday, November 24~

so, my mom just left me a voicemail telling me that she's mad at me because i forgot to deposit some stupid checks (my sisters, not mine.... why me? i don't know...) and i forgot to put her jackets away (ok, she'd been telling me to do so since last week but i am freaking busy. i really think she should do SOMETHING instead of sitting on her fat butt doing sudoku all day. maybe that's why she can't shed those pounds that she so dearly wants to shed). で、罰としてなんか、this thanksgiving weekend, 彼と会っちゃダメだって～。バカじゃないの？脅しのつもり？もう慣れてどうでもいいけどね～。どうせ彼だって私とあんまり会いたいと思ってないと思うし。面倒だからねぇ。もう何か人生生きてる意味あるのかなーって思えてくる。

graffitti

wow. i haven't been here in a while. haha. been kinda busy. schools being a real pain in the butt right now... man, i've never had so much trouble sighning up for classes. 1. they're not offering a lot of classes. 2. many are being cancelled. 3. many of my upper divs are major restricted and since my major is interdepartmental, (meaning that i have to take classes from different majors/departments) i'm screwed. マジ疲れた。今までクラス決めでこんなにストレス感じたことなかったのに．．．anyways, my schedule is still not set (waiting for 2nd pass) but i have 3 tentative classes scheduled and i have lots of free time :) i'm trying to look for a 4th class but can't seem to find a class that would be fit for my major. i might take a fiat lux. since those are 1 unit classes, they shouldn't be that difficult, right? i also happen to have a 10-page paper due this tues. -_- i'm on the third page so i'm a bit screwed with that one too... はぁ～。ヤダヤダ。

本題に入りましょう。ウチのアパートのエレベーターは落書きが多い。いくら大家さんが消してもまたすぐされる。and it's just lots of inappropriate stuff. we have families in our building too... 考えろよ！it's probably some stupid college kid... -_- the following are some examples, (please excuse my crappy picture taking abilities. sorry!):

this last one isn't graffitti. it was on the ceiling and says: "We fuck you while you sleep and you itch" lol

seriously. some people are so immature... grow up.

Universal Studios Hollywood

went to Universal Studios Hollywood yesterday!! and the bf and i got annual passes :) ま、そのほうが得だから買ったんだけどね。i'm sure we'll go again soon.

anyways, it was A LOT of fun. but when we were about to go home, the escalators (the starway?) was closed off. なんでかよく分からなかったんだけど。and we were directed to take the tram back up. apparently, there had been an 'unfortunate accident.' we didn't find out till later but apparently, エスカレーターが逆そうしたらしい。コワイコワイ。we missed it by a couple of minutes. we were lucky.

all in all, it was one of the best days i've had in forever. ホント、楽しかった～。now, i need to go do some work since i ditched a class yesterday to go. lol. バカ？maybe... whatever. it was fun :)

SWAT

as a citizen of los angeles, i have been to downtown/little tokyo a couple of times. however, this weekend was a little different. there were many streets cut off and lots of traffic. めちゃめちゃ大変だった。しかも理由が分からない。and then, i found out that there was a protest against prop8 going on. oh how i wanted to join. lol

so this day was the first day that i saw SWAT in real life. ドラマなら何回か見たことあるけど、ナマモノは初めて。いわゆる初体験です。:) 結構かっこよかったです。（笑）

on a side note, the sky was really funky this weekend because of those raging fires. what was even more crazy was the sun. 赤かったり、めっちゃオレンジだったり。キレイだった。too bad there were a ton of homes ravaged as a result of those fires. anyways, below are a couple photos taken on saturday evening.

詩

during class, ヒマだったから詩を書いてみました～。初めてだから出来が不安だけど。。。一応載せてみます。they're all in japanese though. i think i like writing these in japanese. i feel like i can express more. and if it's in english, it just ends up sounding kinda cheesy. なんか、日本語だとキレイな感じがする。（笑）maybe, it's just me.

「温もり」

とてつもなく淋しくて
寒い夜がある
そんな夜はあなたの顔を思い出す
あなたの温もりを思い出す
そうしたら、心からじわじわ広がるモノがある
ソレはあなたがくれる様々な喜びと幸せ
そして私はあなたと一つになる

「光」

光が刺さない
小さな部屋
そんな所で
毎日過ごしてた
私
あなたが外へ
連れ出してくれた
あなたはわたしの
キボウ
あなたはわたしの
ヒカリ

「あなた」

イジワルで
乱暴で
不敵な
あなた

優しくて
かっこよくて
頼れる
あなた

そんなあなたがダイスキ。

「空」

見上げれば
いつもそこにある。
暖かく包んでくれたり、
数え切れない輝きをくれる。
そんな空（あなた）に毎日私は恋をする。

Because I don't want to work....

i have decided to go online and just look at random crap. my favorite site to do this is digg. i'm sure many of you have heard of it but its a really interesting site. there's just so much random crap! lol. マジで仕事中にガン見してま～す。（何いばってんだ？って？（笑））so, here are some interesting things i found:

have you ever had the feeling that you are being watched in your own house? you turn around to find out whatit might be only to find nothing there. except for maybe your pet cat. well, i own two cats. they are both adorable and i love them. but when i saw this, and found out that my cats do 6 out of the 9, i am starting to think that they might not feel the same way. :P lol. it's really funny. 猫飼ってる人なら半分ぐらいには「うん、うん。」ってうなずけると思う。i thought whoever made it was very clever. it was a good laugh.


while we're still talking about cats, i love this picture above. isn't it adorable? :) って言うかコレ絶対日本人の食卓だよね～。お茶碗に味噌汁、焼き魚に卵豆腐。めちゃめちゃ日本の朝ごはんじゃね？lol. the little kitty looks worried and the bigger cat just looks irritated. 「またコイツか。後ちょっとでメシだったのによ。」みたいな？（笑）かわいすぎる～～～


our next subject: gay marriages. i was so sad when prop8 passed here in Cali. i feel it's very unfair. だって、ゲイだって人間じゃん。ただ単に性別が同じだからって結婚する権利を否定するのは間違ってると思う。there's no need to teach children in schools about gays either. they're not special. 普通の人間だっつぅの！we don't teach children about the mechanics of a marriage between a heterosexual couple. why do we need to do so with homosexual couples? 意味不明。whatever. at least those who want to marry can do so, after moving to a different state like Connecticut! yeay! they're allowing gay marriages in conn. :) if you don't believe me, click here for the article.

and finally, something i am personally very interested in. this might be a little rated x so those of you 18 and younger, beware. :)



↑ what do you think that is? if you said a vibrator, you are CORRECT! it's called a Naughtibod and apparently, it's an ipod accessory for adults. lol. you can use it with or without music and it has all these different modes. the best part? you don't have to use it with an ipod. それいいよね～。私持ってないから困るところだった。（笑）でも、マジメにちょっとほしいかも。楽しそうじゃない！？キャハッ！for the entire article, click here.

ロリータ

this weekend, in little tokyo, there was a lolita convention type thing at the kyoto grand. ちょうどその時リトル東京の weller court にいた私と彼はそんなことを知らずにいた。でも、なんと彼がロリータたちを見かけていたのである。それはカレーハウスの to go 店にいたとき。he said some girls walk by in crazy dresses. according to him, メイド姿した人たちが通った！だとさ。当然私はえっ！メイド！？となるわけです。but, turned out to be the people from the lolita convention. what a dummy, eh?

click here for the article about the convention.

ロリータって結構日本では流行ってるらしいけど、勇気あるな～って思う。恥ずかしそうだもん。めちゃめちゃ目立つし。but what was even more surprising is that it's actually a pretty major underground fashion in america as well. if you look through the slideshow, you'll see a couple Caucasian as well as other ethnicity girls. like the one below.

正直、一度はやってみたいかもって思う。そりゃあ、街中は絶対あるかないけど、、、でも着てみるだけなら楽しそう。後メイドさんもね。結構コスプレってすきかも。（笑）

名探偵コナン

the bf and i are both freaks when it comes to 名探偵コナン。マンガはもちろん、アニメと映画も結構みる。i think it's probably the only anime that i actually watch. i read a lot of manga but i don't watch many animes. anyways, to prove my point:

on the way back to my apartment tonight, the bf grabbed his 名探偵コナン soundtrack CD that has all these songs/music in it. で、色々な♪音楽♪を聞きながら彼とどういう場面で使用されているかとかモノマネなんかもやったりした。（笑）マジで二人でめっちゃウケてた。バカみたいでしょ？lol. but it was seriously a lot of fun. 車の中であんなに盛り上がったのは結構久しぶり。we were both wayyyyy sleepy before we were in the car but man, after a couple songs, we were both wide awake. haha. 何か２０曲ぐらい入ってるみたいで、まだ１０何曲しか聴いてないからまた続きをやらないとね～。あはは。楽しみ～♪

btw, i'll admit that i am a conan freak, but i am not as bad as the bf. he is really bad. コナンの最初の映画（時計仕掛けんの満天楼だったかな？）を１０回以上見てて、それをカセットに録音して、音だけでも聞いてたんだって～。ちょっとキモいね。lol. don't worry you, i may not be as bad but i am a freak as well. :)　ちなみに言うと私は怪盗キッドがダイスキです！

anyways, the bf was sick today. :( poor guy. i hope you get better soon~

national holidays are the bomb! だって～、お休みだも～ん！！！:) nothing can beat THAT! haha.

so veteran's day is coming up and we get tuesday off. -_- why not make it a monday?? it would make life so much easier. grrr... マジでちょっとムカつく。ま、休みないよかましだけどね。and then i remembered that for thanksgiving, we only get 2 days off. i kept thinking it was like high school and that we would get 3 days off. but NO. onl 2. *sigh* college is the pits

OUR NEW PRESIDENT IS NOW BARACK OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is now official. :) this is awesome~

Santa Monica, Redondo Beach, and Zac and Miri Make a Porno

so, yesterday was once again my fun day and i had FUN! first, i took a midterm. -_- not fun, yes, but easy. i think i passed!! :) so very excited. this is the first midterm that i've had confidence in in the longest time. woohoo~~. lol

then, it was on to Santa Monica to do some shopping at the 3rd Street Promenade. While there, i had some Pinkberrys (been craving it for a while) and watched as some people were filming something. it was pretty interesting and the bf and i were just standing around for a while watching. there was a decent sized crowd forming. and then, we went to American Eagle, my new favorite store~~. they were having a buy 1 get the second 50% off sale. yeay! so i bought two bras. 結構高かった～～。１つ＄３０ぐらいだから合計で＄４７ぐらい？with tax. i wanted to buy some cute tops but... ムリだった～。they didn't have sales on anything else and everything was winter stuff so there was nothing that i really wanted. ちょっとブルー．．．買いたかったモノが買えなかった。oh wells. so on to Redondo we go...

we thought we might go on the boat ride at Redondo but... やってねぇじゃねーかよ！何だよ！お休みだなんて聞いてねーよ。期待外れ。so we just walk around the pier and we get a churro~. haven't had one in a while so it was really good :) haha. んで、そのあとはちょっと早めのご飯。蟹を３つと貝を1.5lbs. and i also got like 6 raw oysters. うまうま～。天国行ったみたい～。lol

after eating, we make a pit stop at gardena to go to book off. i only bought a couple of mangas but the bf seemed to be getting a couple. 二人そろってマンガ好き。ちょっぴりヲタクなカップルで～す。でも、絶対彼の方がヲタクだし～。lol. i'm not that bad. thanks goodness :)

and finally, Zac and Miri Make a Porno. we decided to watch it because it got a B- with critics and a B with yahoo users so we assumed it would be good. very graphic but good. 楽しかった～。コメディーだしね。あはは。途中から彼がトイレ行きたくなったみたいでさぁ大変。lol. it was fun watching him squirm. he held it until the movie ended but by that time, 相当限界だったみたい。:) 何はともあれ面白い一日でした。
