I finally watched One Day! This part just cracks me up I had to make a gif. Because I mean, he could just crumple it up and throw it but HE STABS IT WITH HIS FINGERS FIRST. The reason why I've been delaying watching this movie is because the book is plain depressing. And painful. And bittersweet. But I was pleased to find that the movie was good. It helps that it moved twice as fast and omitted a lot. If you thought the movie version of Emma and Dexter's missed opportunities were painful, it was muuuch worse in the book, lemme tell ya. I wanted to strangle Dexter so many times.

I'll be going to Anime Expo this year! And I'm an absolute convention newbie, so looking at the schedule is way overwhelming. o_o;; I decided to cosplay as Persona 4's Chie and my costume came just the other day. I tried it on and discovered I forgot one thing. I am an alien. I am not proportionate. I have abnormally freaky long arms. So it looks like this. It's not supposed to be 3/4 sleeved! This would have been fine if I chose the version of Chie with short sleeves but nooo, I chose the track jacket version. I'm trying to see if they could get it fixed in time but we'll see. XD

Edit: They e-mailed back saying that people with my arm length would normally be taller. That my arms don't correlate with my height. So they told me I should have e-mailed them my arm length along with the hip, bust, waist, and height that they asked for. Then they kindly said, don't worry we can help you, we can make you another one, at a discount. At a discount?! D:< Forget this, I will be the Chie with the awkward rolled up sleeves.

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.

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

ExpandIt's been awhile since I've done these~ )

OH NO. School starts in less than a week! [shock] I feel like the summer just whooshed by. I didn't even swim at all the whole summer! That's amazingly sad. I guess taking a summer class didn't help me enjoy my summer much either. I am excited for tennis season though, even though our first practice is Monday and I have no idea what time it starts. @_@ Why the heck do you not give us the time and expect us to call a number that's not in service to find out?! SO, I may or may not go to practice that day. Haha.

On another note, I always like discovering how I really think or what I specialize in. I remember for a college visit, I even went to a session to figure out what I'd be good at doing since I'm a really indecisive person and didn't have a clue. So, I figured I'd try this out too!

DEFENDER. PROTECTOR. Betty to the rescue! Makes me sound like some superhero. Haha. Let me protect you with my musical abilities and talents!
