Waaii~ It's raining where I am! >w< I suddenly have the urge to go outside dressed in her Rena outfit and mumble gomenasai in front of someone's house and scare the cr*p out of them, but then they'll think I'm insane and I'd probably catch pneumonia in the process, haha.

I just finished the seventh book, and yet somehow it still hasn't registered in my mind that this is the end... surprised weird. wonder if anyone else feels the same?

Freeeeddddd....DDD:

And the Lupins (i.e.Remus and Nymphadora Tonks).

And Snape. Don't forget Snape.

...
I swear, JKR was on some sort of killing spree when writing this. Dx

Lately, I've been feeling kinda...down. And emo. Which is really, really out of character for me. My grades have been slipping, even though I feel as if I've studied for that one test for at least two hours the night before. People seem to be avoiding me, and...well...yeah. Maybe it's just part of entering high school, you know? I can't help but feel kind of insecure either way. I would never mutilate myself because of that, no, but I still get those moments where everything seems to be crumbling down around me. And I want to just disappear.

It's strange of me to post this, I know it probably sounds like those generic emo cut slash kind of people (no offense intended x-x wink . But, maybe it's because I don't really know anyone who reads this personally, save for a few. It feels refreshing to post this though, even though it's likely that no one will ever see it.

Purely for my entertainment(?), a slightly altered translation of Stella's Image Song (Gundam Seed Destiny).

Could you teach me what sadness is...
"If you closed your eyes,
you won't gaze into sorrow and know what it's like."
"If you forget what warmth feels like,
you won't know the meaning of pain."
I can no longer recall that gentle voice I once heard
In the depths of my mourning heart.

I can hear someone calling me
from the past I'd thought I'd forgotten,
Asking me when I will take sorrow into my hands again.
This moment will only happen once,
For some reason you are all that I can see.

A little ship glitters silently in the distant, all alone.
It's swept away by a torrent of grief,
vanishing under the waves of my heart.
Why do I search on
in the ocean depths aimlessly,
For the warmth that I should not have known?

Swaying with the ripples flow,
the ship of life sails on.
Though no stars are seen,
it overcomes waves and advances on.
Beyond the darkness of the night,
For some reason you are all that I can see.

The waves that we saw are flowing towards serenity,
Flowing on to the kindness
that had gone beneath the waves.
I know that there is a tomorrow
where we will love each other.
Until I take the sorrow back into my hands once again,
At a time that only happens once,
For some reason you are all that I can see.

I was in Thailand for the past three weeks to visit ALL of my relatives. D:
Most of it was bad, since all of them said this about me:
"Wow, you grew." which basically means ''Wow, you're fatter."

Now for the good parts, I'm lucky enough to have some relatives who're veteran manga readers (don't ask), and they took me on shopping trips. Let me tell you something about the malls in Bangkok, they're HUGE compared to the ones here in SoCal. rofl There was even a water park on the top floor of one. The manga there is practically a dollar per volume, so my little brother and I took advantage of that. >3 I feel a little guilty for using so much of my relatives' money though.
-_-;;

Also, I went with my younger cousins to the beach. We lost a whale (you know, one of those floating, inflatable things) when my brother, for reasons unknown, THREW IT AT NO ONE. Bear in mind that my cousins are 12 and 9 while my brother's also 9, so they can't exactly swim very fast. I had to stop swimming after it when my parents called us back. DDD: So sad, no floaty thing to play with after that.

That pretty much sums up this year's trip to Thailand, yup.

xd The glitches are so amusing~! I finally got all of the items, now what to do...

As of now, there are about 15 hours before Christmas. xd I'm so happyful. And this year, I actually bought something for my brother (Star Ocean 3, if anyone cares). Usually, I'm cheap, but I felt generous this year. -leaves humming a random carol-

Just one more week until winter break~ whee Soo happyfuls! The downside is that the homework load is beginning to grow to the size of Mount Everest! crying

Every year, as soon as winter break closes in, the teachers seem to feel like making us suffer more before they release us for the holidays... suspicious~~~ ninja

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Today is a day for celebrating all that we have with food, friends, and loved ones. So, please do not take this holiday for granted, and just write it off as an excuse to party. Remember what you should be thankful for, and be grateful for it, ne?
