[delaying a lab write-up] I want to type lots more, but I'm already late for Nino's birthday. I wouldn't be Betty if I didn't at least post something! XD

So to prove he is forever awesome:
"Things that you're able to accept become yours, don't they? In the past, there was a warrior character in a game that specialized in mimicry. The other warriors would have several special characteristics, but he could only mimic. But it was because he could mimic that he could perform all of the abilities. Since he could use all of them, he ended up being really strong. I think having a single character be amazing at magic also has merit, but for all that extra power there's also a risk that you're losing/lacking something else… There are pros and cons to either option, but for me I think I'd be completely fine with the mimicry. Within that mimicry, there are things you're becoming that you'd be able to become anyway, and things that you wouldn't be able to. I think that's enough."

From More April 2010

He relates life to Gogo from Final Fantasy VI, a classic game everyone should play because it IS AWESOME.
midori: (Sho (Failure Hurts))
Wanna know something awesome? Saturday is my birthday. Whoo whoo! But then, that only means it's getting closer to June 7th, and that leads to summer classes. :(

Anyway.

Because I owe Jo [livejournal.com profile] miserabilities (& just about everyone else) an update on my life, here I go!

ExpandGood name-calling! Missed birthdays! tldr; really )
midori: (Aiba; Nino (Lazy))
Helloooo, new decade! :D First entry of the year! Well, actually I've been writing a lot of private entries lately - about crazy things that no one wants to read about like strange dreams and such - so I feel like I've been active. But who am I kidding? XD

I also redid my profile, my layout, and switched out a lot of my icons. (I meant to change them all but I couldn't let go of some! ;n;) A fresh start is good! And I love that I can change the little banner whenever I like, without having to recode and such. Yes, because I am lazy. :(

ExpandGaming! )

*chants* One more week one more week one more week

But I really wanted to let everyone know I'm alive, before I go off and die, kind of thing. |D If you want to know what I've been up to lately.. well. Time to use bullets again!

ExpandIn a month, things can actually happen in Betty's life - doesn't mean they're interesting. )

Also: I was so good at being prompt about this last year, but this year totally slipped my mind. Christmas cards! Who's up for some January greetings? Rofll. I think I'll make a proper post for that later. XD
midori: (Emo Nino (Happiness))
I cleaned out my e-mail recently, which means I went through hundreds of LJ comment & message notifications, and just had to type up an entry. You guys should have seen me, gushing over memories: new and old, wibbling like an idiot. Things like, "D'aww, I remember that." Even if it was just several months ago, it feels that long. The little things I forgot about - other than all of those account expiration e-mails (lol). And just. :( I miss it. I miss having long threads with you all about nothing and everything. And it's definitely my fault for not being around. I know I'm busy and we're all busy with things so it's harder, but! Even if I'm working on the thousands of homework assignments, I always have my Gmail open. I wouldn't mind an e-mail, actually I'd more than encourage a random e-mail from you guys. &hearts Let's catch up?

Forgive my sentimentality, you all? ;o; I miss and love you all so much. And thank you.


(Also! Don't mind the subject title; it's uh, just one of my favorite quotes from Final Fantasy X. Along with "Stay away from the summoner" and "You're a bad man!" Gotta love video game dubbing! ..yeah.)

  • Whoo, Chemistry test over! *o*;; Three more exams to go before Fall Break! *fistpumps* I will not remind myself that I'm studying over the break too. Nope.
  • Even my tags have started to get repetitive, lol. My life is sad.
  • Sorry I keep complaining about school 'cause I'm sure no one wants to hear about on livejournal tooo. XD
  • GANTZ MOVIE. Just this morning, as I was walking to my school's student center, I was thinking about how Nino needs to do an action role. He needs to run around and do things, maybe yell at people and shoot things and gain invisible levels -- my mind was wandering a lot as you can probably tell. But really I was thinking I'd be happy with anything action-y. THEY READ MY MIND. I just hope it'll be toned down, less on the gore/sex. (I'm not sure if I could stomach all of that, eugh.) I mean, fans of the manga must like the story too, right? (Stupid question, I know.)
  • Oh yeah. I've determined that Nino is an abnormally clean person. His hands are at least. If he was a normal person, zits would be having a fiesta on his face considering how he touches his face all the time. But his magical face is mostly pimple-free and it's frustrating. Bottom line is: he is the party pooper of all acneland.

I do come out of my torturous abyss of Chem & Physics homework sometimes (lol) and I was at Target when the Halloween goods were out. I'm sure I was moping about how there weren't any backpacks on sale that were neither cheap enough nor large enough, but that's not the point! In the Halloween aisle, there was a man and his toddler-age son and it was the cutest thing ever. The man was over by the motion-sensored bowls with those hands that would slam down once a kid grabs for candy and this happens:

Man: C'mere, put your hand in the bowl.
Son: [watching from 8 feet away and obviously very wary]
Son:
Son: No.
Man: Here, look. [puts hand partially in bowl] See, nothing's gonna happen!
Son: [hesitantly scoots closer to do it]
Son: [triggers the plastic hand and starts yelling/crying]
Man: [picks him up while dying of laughter]

I am so doing that to my future kids. :3

ExpandBirthdays! For vaguebelle & jadenmd~ )

I don't know what happened, but my classes have taken over my life for the past month. In particular, Chemistry and Physics. ;__; So I'm just gonna hide in Photoshop -- prolong studying for my Psychology exam -- and go to a place far from centripetal forces and equilibrium shifts. Yes, sounds good. XD

Again, I apologize for all of these belated birthday wishes! D: It's happening so often, I don't think anyone should expect me to be on time anymore. ;;

  • Went to play tennis again at a local park and found out the courts have been vandalized with graffiti! So I'd try to read them between games; in the middle of the court, "MANIAK" was written. Then as per normal, I'd think, Ah, they can't spell. Then there are the usual nonsensical graffiti and a couple of initials here and there, and one that said, "SK" ...
  • School is quite.. normal? I can't even think of anything interesting to say about it. XD I think the class I'll be most looking forward to is Gen Psych. In the other classes, I already feel behind despite having just started. (Yes, even in Japanese. D:)
  • I am doing such a great job avoiding All the Best! scans. XD
  • The new version of Firefox isn't compatible with my transparent-y layout! ..So I re-downloaded the old one, lol.
midori: (Nino (whaat.))
Classes start again on Thursday. I've really got to start working on my school sleep cycle. That means no more sleeping in 'til 1PM. DD:

ExpandFor change417 & genuyn~ Birthdays!! )

Sorry if the gifts look a little wonky on this transparent layout. I'm not quite used to it either! XD

Speaking of layouts, new layout for me! In the midst of sulking about my entry for the layout contest, I decided to work on my own. XD (No, really, if you see a rather lame-looking layout, don't vote for it. It's probably mine. By the time I noticed everything I did to it made it worse, it was too late. LOL.) I think it's been over a year since I've changed it? It only looks right with the LJ navigation bar, but other than that I think the time spent on it was worth it. :D More Ninos! Do I ever change?

I honestly don't have the confidence anymore. XD There are just too many talented graphic makers in this fandom, really. I'll probably still try though, because I'm an M like that. |D Any of you lovelies jumping into the contest, too? So I may dump my layout-making woes on you? :D?

Rhythm Heaven for NDS:
SO MUCH FUN. I pretty much fail at the whole 'flicking' part but gah, it's addicting. I'm a sucker for anything music-related like this. *is a music geek :(*

Paid tuition for the fall semester and should probably get off my butt to go buy books, but I'm feeling lazy. XD

What else.. Ah! I've still got to take pictures. *headdesks*
midori: (Aiba (Standing Still))
I think I just pulled a gluteus maximus playing tennis the other day, if that's possible. It aches. And it's kind of awkwardly just one side. XD

Gosh, how I wish it was Christmas in July. All I'm getting is Clean-'til-you-drop July. D: My grandma is visiting soon and she's never visited before. We're always the ones making the traveling plans to visit her in CA. And she'll be sleeping in my room (while I get.. wait, where am I going to sleep?). I've been contemplating whether or not I should move my calendar in case she gets curious, but I think I'll just leave it. |D

The Happy Aiba I got for my birthday was too amazing for me not to give you a gif in return!! :D Wishing you a fantastic day! Happy Birthday!! &hearts &hearts

Also, I know I've been a terrible friend and haven't been commenting on anyone's posts lately but forgive me for a little while longer? ;o; Hope you're all doing well? I've been trying to hang with my parents as much as I could recently before they go off on a long and wonderful vacation, lol. And oh, pictures! I've taken about half of them (the easiest ones) so I'm getting to the rest; slowly but surely. XD
midori: (Default)
Parents: We got you balloons, Betty!
Me: Those are leftovers from my sister's birthday!
Parents: :D

(But really, that is some super helium for keeping up balloons for two months+. :o)

Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes and gifts; they each made my day that much brighter. I received gifts ranging from Yama Pair balloons to SEXY BACK to the sweetest and most heartwarming messages ever. ;o; I was absolutely beaming the entire day - along with the day before and the day after because of time differences. &hearts &hearts &hearts Have I told you guys I love you, lately? THANK YOU.

Time to do this meme!!

PHOTOGRAPHY MEME
Give me as many things/people/places as you want. (i.e my job, my family, my room, my computer, my coffee cup etc), then I will try my best to take a picture of it!

It's one thing when I'm not listening to music, but when I'm jamming to Yabai-Yabai-Yabai and then some guy in the background sneaks in trying to persuade people that making money online is easy, it is not cool. When did advertisements learn to speak by themselves!! >:( Let me Viva Myself.. by myself dangit!

Got my computer back~ And of course, it was empty. So since then I've been installing and downloading, and still. XD But anyway it's summer! And I have time to properly update! Hah!

A couple of weekends ago, my family left to California to go to a wedding that wasn't. XDD So we had fun instead (not that weddings aren't fun but you know). Thus on the plane rides to there -- there's always a connection flight D: -- my sister and I were being our normal selves.

Me: You know how there's always a big debate over which one tastes better: Pepsi or Coke?
Sis: Yeah?
Me: You know what our (family's) answer would be?
Sis: What--
Me: Whichever one's on sale.
Both: [cracking up]

(Have I mentioned our family's stingy? We're very frugal. I could write a whole entry on how my dad saves money and dub it "The Chronicles." Actually, I think I will one day.)

Me: *slides up window shade*
Sis: Man, we always sit by the wing.
Me: I like wings.
Sis: Chicken wings?
Me: And I like breasts too.
Sis: おっぱい?
Me: おっぱい。
Both: おっぱいバレー!
Both: [dying]

Me or Sis: (randomly) I feel the G's!!

Aaand, I am terribly addicted to Godhand Teru. Why must such goodness be limited to six episodes! So much more amazing than Code Blue, yet so much shorter. D:

Time for my monthly updaaate! XD 'k.

A week ago my desktop pc absolutely refused to start up. Tried System Restoring it several times but alas, it still gave me this black screen of um, blank-ness. That's when I knew, I've abused it for far too long. It's at my dad's tech-y friend's house right now, and I'm hoping he can at least get it to work. I need something to use, right? XD If that doesn't work, I'll be getting a new one.

I'm a little sad, and a little glad. I've lost everything: graphics beginning from ages ago (2003-ish, rofl. I like to reminisce, okay?), essays from school, miscellaneous photos, scans (I have yet to think about how I'm going to re-download those again), etc. I'm surprised it could still run as it did with all the junk I kept on it. XDD It was slow and laggy with all that crap bogging it down, so now I'll be able to start anew~ When I get it back, that is. Haha.

I can only check things when my sister's not on her laptop or when I can sneak on the school's computers. Pretending that livejournal-ing is school-related; that's right yo.

On another note! My semester's almost over; I've got two more finals and an essay to write this week and I'm done. Yaay.

I miss LJ. D:
midori: (Default)
I did not just spend that long on coming up with a username. XD;; Why is it so much harder to come up with one when there are so many to choose from!

Off to discover what's special about DW instead of getting thrown off by random alternative names to the usual that I'm used to. Note: "Reading Page" is really just a Friends Page. XD

(Sorry if I'm late, but) WHAT ARE THE ODDS?


And then I was on edge just waiting for Ryousuke (Toma) to mention the deceased's name just once. Just once! *cries* Alas, he wouldn't oblige just that. Daiki said it a thousand times, Aki and Hanei and even Teppei say "Naruse-san" at least once. ASGDLGHH;K Anyway, adored this drama. I spent most of my time watching it crying, "Why such good people?!" ;o; And laughing about Toma getting these roles with terrible father-son relationships.

---

Also. I just cried after watching the first episode of a drama with a title that implies quite the opposite of a gesture. Damn you, Smile, for doing this to me. JUNNIE.

The first season of The Quiz Show was incredibly intense. Did anyone else see it; especially those last two episodes? Intense. Looking forward to season two!

Hi, it's me. The one who hasn't written an entry in a month and is doing as poorly in commenting to entries and replies, yeaah. XD It's mainly because my life hasn't been very interesting lately. But today is someone's birthday! &hearts

Hope you have a fab-tastic one! :D And I haven't had the time to make a small graphic like I usually do for birthdays so please enjoy this drabble instead! ;o;
