¡Sarah!

So on Saturday night I went on a Ghostly Walk with one of my friends, where we were led around the supposedly haunted parts of downtown Victoria. >:D The Empress, the Christmas store, Rogers' Chocolates, Bastian Square - apparently they are all haunted! It was really interesting. One of the two tour guides has actually worked on one of my favourite cheap-o shows, Creepy Canada, which is awsm! XD! I must admit, though, that I couldn't help being a little disappointed ... the stories were really good and everything but we didn't see any ghosts. :(

We had parked in a parking garage and on our way back, there was a group of four guys standing outside the door of the garage, drinking beer. Lo and behold, two of those guys were former classmates of mine. =_=;; CLASSY! One of them told me he got a B- in our Japanese lit. class without even handing in his second essay. This makes me feel really bad being all "I got an A in English 12 and I never even read Jane Eyre!" because I would like to think I'm better than this guy. :/ On the last day of class he was begging for someone to describe the ending of Tale of Genji to him. I was like, dude, I slagged through that entire thousand-page novel, no way I'm telling anyone how it ends! You can see I can be very stuck-up when I want to be.

After that I came home and looked to see if my mark was up but it wasn't!! Weird?? It didn't appear until this evening. But I got an A+ in Japanese lit. and that's my first mark of the semester so here's hoping that bodes well. :D :D :D Well, I do like to think I deserve that A+ because I did feel like I had Genji on the brain the entire semester. Speaking of! ( Our boys Allen Schezar and Hikaru Genji. )

Ahahaha, would you rather I posted about Escaflowne or about PotC2? I was actually going to write a post about PotC but then got embarrassed and wrote this one instead. Haha, I'll wait till I get un-embarrassed and then I'll try again. XD;; I am trying to censor myself less in my LJ but it's haaaaaard. :/

Within the first three days of owning the PotC2 DVD, I watched the movie three times and my brother and his girlfriend watched it once. They watched it while I was out ghost walking, otherwise I would've watched it with them. XD A couple weeks ago - I think when I was watching PoA for the second time in two days - my mother was commenting on my habit of watching movies over and over and over and over and over again, and I replied that at least I know that when I buy a DVD, it's never a waste of money, as it's guaranteed to pay for itself within the first few days. XD Man, it's so weird. Am I weird? Because it's like, yeah, I watch tons of movies. It's just that they're all the same ones ... XD XD XD XD

It's been a while since I've written a truly long and disconnected and embarrassing entry, so let's go! Please don't feel any sort of obligation to read the whole thing. XD

1. ( Icons. )

2. ( A lot of 'Aladdin' and a little 'Hercules.' )

3. ( Ukifune. )

4. ( NaNoWriMo!!! )

5. ( One more bit about PotC2. )

( Escaflowne and GALS! )

And so you don't think I spend all my time watching TV, which I do: today I spent an hour cleaning my room. Not a huge amount of progress, but it's more than I've done in a while, so I say good job!

Also, I rode the bus with someone from my high school who I only used to see sporadically but whom I now see all the time. And it is really awesome to talk to her! My bus ride doesn't feel like twenty minutes when I have someone with whom I can pretend I am all knowledgeable about everything! XD XD XD;;;;;

Also, I think today I produced the least mangled Spanish I have produced since the beginning of the semester, which is nice. Today marks a whole month without any skipped classes or missed shifts! I guess it is kind of pathetic that that feels like an accomplishment now. But compared to last semester ... ~_~;

I must force myself to make this a short entry because I have to go do stuff. Yes it is midnight and I still have to study and write down what I thought up while washing dishes at work, leave me alone~~~~~.

( Reba, The Mummy, and French dubs, and this entry is awful )

PS: I AM GOING TO SEE THE SOUP NAZI TOMORROW

NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PPS: Forget it, I will study tomorrow.

Me = dumb. x_x

Tiny PPPS because it is dumb too: My favourite Escaflowne character is Van and my favourite Reba character is Van. THIS IS HILARIOUS DON'T YOU SEE

I just watched an hour of French television. I love living in Canada, because it means we get about four French channels. Yes, that makes me happy. ^__^

So I watched Quack Pack (I think that's what it's called :P ) and, since it's aimed at a younger age group, I suppose, I understood more of it than I certainly thought I would. Yay! ^_^

Then I watched Microsoap. It seems they have to talk faster to keep up with the English actors' mouths, which is annoying when you're still trying to learn the language, but then, I'd all ready seen that ep. before in a language I can understand. :Þ

I also had my first class of French today. Yay! ^_^ It seems like it'll be fun. I like the teacher, the class isn't rowdy, and I understand more French than I sometimes think. That makes me so happy. I would love to be fluently bilingual. ^___^ (Unfortunately, my pronounciation is not so hot . . . -_-;; )

I know this is slightly off-topic and all, but I like that part in ep. 23 (24? I dunno. I give up) of Escaflowne where Merle's talking to Van . . . I love the expression on her face when she yells out, "That's a lie!" Awww, poor Merle. It's nice that she accepted that Van wasn't in love with her romantically, though I don't think that's going to stop her from glomping him. ^_~;
