¡Sarah!

I shall continue to list my Christmas presents despite the fact that I feel more selfish every time I do it. :D

( Read more... )

Aaaaaand now I feel totally gross and selfish for writing all of that. AS ALWAYS. (y)

Oh man, I avoided doing anything with my Mixi account for the longest time because I didn't really understand how to do anything on the site, but now that I've started sending messages and stuff, oh my gosh. These people are so crazy nice. I feel like I should be more cynical and look at it more like "They're only nice because they want you to help them with their English!" but shut up you guys!! It's lovely to receive such polite and cheerful e-mails from practically total strangers, haha. *^_^*

THIS IS NOT WHAT THIS ENTRY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT. As you may already know, I spent all day in anticipation of wobbly-legged, rum-soaked ( PIRATES! )

So I turned nineteen almost two weeks ago and today I did my first nineteen-ish thing. I bought lottery tickets! It is funny because my supervisor, who is turning eighteen on Tuesday, asked me if I would buy them for her, and I said I didn't have any ID with me (I don't actually have any ID that shows my age, anyway - the closest I have is my student card, which only actually shows that I am old enough to be at university), and she asked if I would try anyway even though she seemed to firmly believe I would be asked for ID. I wasn't, in the end. So really I didn't have to be nineteen at all, but let's ignore that part because I am getting a kick out of my first lottery ticket purchase! XD;;;

( Cleaning, Reba, and MoMusu. )

Edit: I forgot to mention! I AM WEARING A GRYFFINDOR SCARF!! Oh yes, awesome awesome.

Hmm. Perhaps I should make a real entry here.

I wish I didn't talk about TV and J-pop in here so much, but at least ( I can hide it all behind a cut. )

Now that that's all done with, let's see. I voted today. I was going to talk more about my classes but I don't feel like it. I got Tarzan of the Apes out of the library. I read it when I was in eighth grade but I don't remember it very well except that I liked it even for all its strangeness. I like how sci-fi-y books from that era just do whatever they please. Well, I mean, I don't know much about them and am very much an outsider, but books like that and even Around the World in Eighty Days, where when they don't know certain things they just make them up. It reminds me of how I used to write when I was in middle school, but not in a bad way. Just like, the need for research won't stop my creativity!!! Not that I pay attention to the facts in my writing now anyway. OF COURSE JESSE WOULD BREAK BOTH HIS ARMS WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.

Oh! I forgot! My big news is that I am twelve years old. Some lady came to the door on Saturday handing out pamphlets for the Conservatives, and when I answered the door (admittedly a rare thing) she asked, "Are your parents home?" And then today at school some guy was handing out pamphlets for the Green Party, and he totally skipped me! Most obviously so! So yeah. If you ever want to come see me, I should be easy to find, seeing as I'll be the only twelve-year-old wandering around campus ...

I have been dating all my writing since November. At some point I will get around to typing it up and I will see how much I actually write. I sort of kept a record of my word counts in summer 2004, but only sort of. It was really loose. This one will be SCIENTIFIC.

Also, I am getting really antsy re: the JLPT results. I want to know if I passed, man!! ;_;

Edit: I forgot I forgot! A week before the Soup Nazi I went to see Jack Layton (mostly for the novelty -- the most exciting bit was that we had to sneak around the side of the building and peer in the windows in order to see him), and then last night people were getting phone calls with a recording of his voice being all "vote for me!," and my grandmother totally hung up on him because her dinner was getting cold!! Hahahahahahaha MOST EXCELLENT.

There are Full House books that go past the end of the series. THAT IS CRAZY!! This one looks hilarious, not only because of the Photoshopped bodies on the cover, but dude, Michelle works at a taco place! WE HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON NOW WE ARE BEST FRIENDS!

These books are probably little more than glorified fan fiction, but I seriously want to read them so bad. I have watched twenty-four episodes of Full House in three days, shut up it's awesome.

In my most recently published story, they replaced my "bookshelf" with "book-shelf." It is an anthology published by high school English teachers. I am all, "Uhm ... ?"

I went through all my Disney Adventures magazines yesterday. Well, I had gone through them before and got rid of some, but yesterday I went through in order to rip out anything interesting and toss the rest. It was sort of strange. Lots of Joey Lawrence and JTT (hahaha, I wonder if anyone calls him that anymore?). They're all from like 1995 or earlier, so it was all pretty interesting. Stuff about how Boy Meets World was a new show or something. XD; As you can tell, I don't know what I'm saying anymore. Probably it didn't help that I had Prisoner of Azkaban on in French in the background. Man, I definitely like the Spanish dub better. It's more to the point. I guess the French dub actors had time to fill or something, there's a lot of extra words. ^^;;;; It's funny though. XD;;

ALSO! I am sure that after clicking this link, Athena will have to agree with me that February 8 will basically be the best day ever. XDXDXDXDXDXDXD!!!
