when there's no getting over that rainbow

So I'm driving to school like usual. The window's down (well, halfway down because if it goes any lower it gets stuck and that's a whole 'nother problem) and the wind is breezily breezin' my sweaty neck. I'm speeding by eight miles but it's okay 'cause I never see any cops on the way to class. Or so I thought because in the corner of my eye I spot the police car. Except it's too late to notice because in a few seconds I will be passing this small side road the cop car is parked. I decelerate but it's no use. It's my time. I hope the officer is nice..

Then out of nowhere this white SUV (which evidently did not notice the sneakily hidden cop) comes zooming past me in the next lane, the police car pulls out, the siren's on and they're on the side of the road. Any other time I might have been like, "Ha-ha! Sucker!" but I was too relieved and recovering from my near-ticket incident.

Anyway, miracles really do sometimes happen.


As of today my summer class is over! WHOO. I feel like most of my entries are written right after a semester is over. Shows how sparse they are, yeesh. If anyone is curious, I was taking Human Anatomy & Physiology where I got counted off for writing Ejaculation Duct instead of Ejaculatory Duct. ..Yeah.

I have not even listened to Beautiful World even though I have it. I know I know, you may shoot me now.

Speaking of things I've bought, I also picked these up at Borders because they're officially shutting down. I'm on my second read-through of THG, and I still love it. As for the upcoming movie? IS IT MARCH 23RD YET. Reading through the interviews, I absolutely approve of the cast.

And guys, if you have not read the first two books of The Kingkiller Chronicle (The Name of the Wind & The Wise Man's Fear) you are missing out. It is epic fantasy in writing and in length - as in it is freakishly long but I wish it was longer. It makes me laugh in tears and then spouts beautiful poetry, even though the main character hates poetry and poets, ha. Kvothe plays the lute - the LUTE. Innkeeper Kote gives me Nino vibes, seriously. Also, Patrick Rothfuss is a hilarious person in general; I follow his blog, lol. ANYWAY. Read it and I will too. It's next on my re-reading list anyway.

Man, I really need to stop with these 'anyway's.

SPRING BREAAAAAAAK \o/

Because I owe Jo miserabilities (& just about everyone else) an update on my life, here I go!

( Good name-calling! Missed birthdays! tldr; really )

• 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

( Birthdays! For vaguebelle & jadenmd~ )

Something I've noticed: as long as there are birthdays, I will keep posting. &hearts

( For Nicole (twistedhalo04)~~! )

( Time to pimp out a drama! )

arashi_on Layout Contest:
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*

My sister likes to emphasize "Cookie Arrow" every time she hears Truth. Try to guess which part that is. XD

Which reminds me! Over the weekend, my phone rang while I was at Gamestop. XD It took me a while to get to it so Truth kept playing aloud. Then one of the employees (who happened to be Asian) snapped his head around once he heard it and it was hilarious. LOL. It really makes me wonder if he reacted to the sound of japanese music or truth. I like to think it's the latter.

And then in a department store, some girl was playing at the piano and my sister told me I would be able to play better. XD "You should play 'Kanashimi Cookie Arrow.'" I was dying. Just imagining that song being played right by the escalators.. with the rich ladies browsing through the make-up and purse area. HAHA. I do play that song more than I should though.

As you can see, this song will never die. XD

We're doing another skit in Japanese class and this time it's supposed to be a variation of the story of Momotarou. Who knows what crack we'll come up with this time! XDD ももたろうさん、ももたろうさん~♪

REQUESTS. IT'S BEEN SO LONG. And I've only finished a couple of the graphics-related ones. ;__; I still have drabbles and wallpapers to work on so don't think I've forgotten! &hearts It just may be another month or so. LOL. So anyway, here are completed requests for genuyn, jadenmd, and kanesu~ Whoo.

( So much Nino! )

If you missed out and don't mind waiting a bit for your requests to be finished, you can still do it here. &hearts

----
And I got my own requests fulfilled at Liz's and Suvi's which I absolutely adore. &hearts &hearts I love you two.
Walking is good for the heart & BFFs

I was typing a 5-page paper on Thursday night due Friday and my computer decided to lag. I would type a sentence and the words would take several seconds to catch up. ASGADSGH. Then I had to make 23 copies of this essay so my class could brutalize and rip it apart workshop it Monday. [/english class woes]

But hey, good news. I'm doing pretty well in Japanese class. (wth Betty, that's a given.) XDD You know how there's always this annoying kid that thinks he knows everything and blurts every answer out? Yeah, there's one in my Japanese class. D: Anyway! We get to do a skit over.. pretty much anything we want, so here's a rundown of what my group came up with:

My two partners are American sumo wrestlers lost in deserted Tokyo (no way that's possible XD) and need to be in Okinawa. I get to be random characters who get in their way. Or something like that. XD Here's part of our script so far. Most of it sounds choppy and elementary-like, but that's to be expected! XD B is sumo wrestler number 1 and M is sumo wrestler number 2.

( I sell sailboats. )

Letsee, I've also made a couple of wallpapERRS! And yay for Daylight Savings. One extra hour of sleep! *o*

I kept encountering things related to Maou last night. No kidding. XD Three times in a span of hours. Maybe I'm suffering in anticipation of tomorrow's last episode, or something. ;-;

1. Code Blue episode 08-09: Kuroda-sensei got caught under collapsing steel frames. It was like, Death of Naruse Ryou!!, all over again. XDD And then I was just waiting for Aizawa (Yamapi) to do the Tomoo-like identity switch: "I'm not Aizawa. I'm Kuroda. DUN DUN DUNN." But my hopes were crushed 'cause he didn't and just went along to save Kuroda-sensei like he was supposed to.

2. Seigi no Mikata episode 03: Youko (Shida Mirai) got an express delivery box. First thing that entered my mind was, !! HOSNAP. SHE RECEIVED A TAROT CARD. But really, she just got Choushuu Koriki junk.
A tarot card from Amano Makoto would have been so much cooler. >3>

3. My sister was watching Gakuen Heaven (with all of those sparkly broad-shouldered males and/or males that look like females) on her laptop and my head snapped when I heard "Naruse-san." But Naruse ended up being a shiny & blonde long-haired tennis team captain. I died a little.

( That one secret meme that's been around the flist )

Just drop a comment and I'll send the actual meme over~ :D And there was more I wanted to type but I have an essay due tomorrow that I haven't started. .__. I-I should probably get to doing that right about now.

D: It's been way too long since my last entry. I'm incredibly sorry I've been neglecting everyone's entries. School's just killing me right now. Finals this, projects that. D: Once I graduate, I'll get back on the regular Lj-ing pace. XD One more week, yo!

Happy Mother's Day to everyone's mothers and grandmothers! ♥♥ My family celebrated it on Friday so we wouldn't have to celebrate it with a bunch of other families in a crowded restaurant. Haha.

( And a Birthday that happens to fall on Mother's Day! )

Now I'm off to work on a Physics project!
