赤黄色向日葵 ~ 橙群青紫陽花

I'm going to copy yaminokaitou and start off with just pictures/descriptions of what I bought. Partly because I enjoy crowing over it, and partly because there are far, far fewer pictures of what I bought than of everything else, heh.
( I still managed to ramble quite a bit ... )

How long has it been since I did a real entry?

(What amounts to a "real" entry?)

I always mean to update. Haven't I been starting a lot of posts the same way lately?
( life )

お久しぶりですね！どうして日本語で書いているか？どうしてかなあ。

Waaah, where do I begin when I don't feel like writing for very long?
( I.S. + Mostly inane ramblings )

La la la. The rain comes down, the heat comes up, and I want to cut my hair more than ever x.x

*pokes LJ* *poke* ... *poke poke* So, um, I suppose you wonder what I've been doing the last few weeks? ^^;;
( のびすぎた前髪は~ )

... I thought I would be posting here more often, but to be honest, just posting at my Japan blog as much as I do takes up a huge chunk of time (... you don't even want to know how long each entry takes to write/arrange/insert pictures; I'm sure I'll be thankful of it in the future though). This entry will just be merch, however, so I don't plan on spending long on it. In case I somehow lose my luggage or what not, I want to prove that yes, this is the stuff that I did indeed have.

So, earlier today I finished reading the Please Save My Earth manga in its entirety for the third time. (Yes, all 12 bunko/21 volumes.) Sooo good. Each time I read it, I become utterly entangled and emotionally involved in the story and characters. It's kind of awful, though, that whenever I read it, I can't stretch it out; I have to read the whole series all at once.

(I know, I could've spent those 12 or so hours studying for finals, right?)

... I've been trying to rustle up a copy of the anime OAV for a while, but ... well, I finally tried to order one I found last week. Then, after charging my debit card for the cost of the DVD, I got an e-mail saying that it turns out they didn't have any stock left (since PSME is out of print, there's no chance of their getting more in). Um, they had better refund me. I sent an e-mail saying as much, but they haven't gotten back to me, grr. I really wish places would wait to charge until, you know, they know they have the merchandise you've ordered. At least they no longer list the DVD as being in stock ...

Hmm. This post's purpose is procrastination. I am not looking forward to my finals. There seems to be far too much to do, but since I don't want to do any of it, I sit here, doing nothing.

Oh, by the way ... my poem did appear on the cover of the newspaper this past Friday. Heh, I'd nearly forgotten already, having gotten so wrapped up in other things. Which is probably good, because whenever I think of all those strangers reading my (sub-par? I wonder) work, I feel a bit strange myself. Did that poem really deserve the treatment it got--a poem that I wrote in one weekend, for this specific purpose? A poem that probably would've been rejected by the campus literary magazine? (Well, I've already figured out that my poetry is not their type of poetry, regardless of quality.) A poem that was the only option available for the cover? (No one else submitted anything, so weren't they kind of stuck with using my poem?) I do not mean to say that I do not like the poem; I do like it. I'm just an awful judge of my own work and a self-doubter to boot.

Anyway, since then a number of people have complimented me on it, which is sweet of them. And hey, free press. I am proud that I can be above the fold of the paper. I do not think that has ever happened before. I am proud to be part of the newspaper staff. They are a lovely group of people (usually ^_~), and I will miss them ...

But let's not get into that, because this is just a filler post, right? ^_~

I'll be home this Friday, so ... yup, yup. Have a good week, all, and good luck to those of you who like me will be suffering through finals.

Hum hum hum.

. . . Anyway. I think I had some stuff to say (like how I went to a wedding shower for Traci's brother tonight), but oh well. Once again, my obsessions take over. Silly me.

Will you forgive me? I hold in this internet album KITTEN PICTURES! *click here* Yes, that's right, I finally went through the task of uploading and electronically labeling a whole album of pictures of the seven adorable kittens that took up residence in my garage (okay, my mom trapped them and put them in there so we could domesticate them and give them away--and spay their mother so there'll be no more homeless cats around). I miss them ... That's about it. Enjoy.
