I have once again not updated in awhile. I should have over break, but I was just not in the mood. Actually, I should probably not be doing this at work, but whatever. I am waiting for a spyware scan to finish because the work computer seems to be filled with high level threats. Someone at work has been very bad!

Break was good. The highlight had to be seeing some of my Darien friends. It made me very happy! I even went back to my old high school and visited some people. Had to see my old psych teacher of course!

I watched Azumanga Daioh over break. It is the funniest anime ever! The cast could not be any crazier. I love Osaka and Sakaki! There are soooooo many kitties in this anime too. There are even yuri possibilities, which of course, makes me happy!

I also finished Gunslinger Girl and Chrono Crusade. Gunslinger Girl ended in a way I didn't think it would and Chrono Crusade's ending was disappointing. It just was not that great and was missing something. This feeling has nothing to do with the character deaths towards the end.

I now have a radio show with one of my friends. Our first show was last Sunday and it was a lot of fun. We play anime music! Yay! Of course, my playlist on my computer and mp3 player has been only Utena related for about the last month. I guess I really need to keep myself in the Utena world while I write my fanfic. My DJ name is Juri. That is funny. My friend decided on it. It so works well though because she is my fav character.

I took my last final this morning and now this semester is officially over! I am so happy! I am going tomorrow.

I got sooo bored this last week because I have been studying for my finals for so long that I have begun to watch Utena again. I love this show!! Second watching means it is time to figure out what the fuck is really going on in this show. I have been reading essays about lots of things from the show and I am slowly coming to some sort of understanding. I am writing a new fanfic, like I need a sixth one, that is a sequel to the Utena TV series. It takes one theme/idea from the show and plays around with it. This story will have yuri and yaoi in it, well, and het too. All of the student council will be back, some of the black rose duelists will make an appearance, and of course can't forget about Utena, Anthy, and Akio. Sorry people, there will be no Akio car! There are some new characters too and they are all very important to the story. One is especially important because without her, this story would not even be being written.

With a date now set, I am going to get to see some of my friends from where I used in live in Illinois over break. I will only be there for four days, but still, I can't wait.

I am going to relax sooooo much over break, watch anime, and work on my fanfics.

My new icon of Juri, is also currently my new desktop. It is a screen shot from episode 17, where the viewer first meets Shiori, the girl in Juri's locket, the girl she hates yet loves, the girl that told her to believe in miracles. Because the miracle never happened, whatever that was supposed to be for Juri, she now hates them. I won't say much more than that. Anything else may become a spoiler. All of Juri's episodes rule! She is my fav character, which I already mentioned. I kind of understand some of her problems, but I don't feel like explaining, I don't like getting into it much and those really close to me know what happened.

Everyone have a good Christmas!

It is has been some time, so time to update.

Break was good. I didn't get everything done that I wanted to. But I made like over 400 note cards for my sociology test. I have found that I really like sociology a lot. I will have to take another class in it next year. My parents took me out almost all the time and I pigged out. It was fun.

I have been studying for finals and my other tests since I got back from break. I still haven't started from chem though, cause there is one more quiz left on Thursday.

In my psych tutorial, we are finally running the experiment. I get to run subjects tomorrow and I am excited. I hope they don't do something weird. I just hope this works out. I cannot believe I am a freshman that is doing this. It is exciting.

My parents mailed some stuff to me, like clothes and my new boots. They sent all my old psych stuff too cause I went and dug it out. WHOOT! All of my AP Psych stuff is back with me.

I am excited for Christmas break and cannot wait for it. I don't get out until the 23rd, but oh well, that is OWU for you. If my friend and I ever get a date worked out, I will be staying with her for some time over break. YAY! I get to see all of my friends back where I used to live and visit my old psych teacher. I cannot wait to see everyone.

I thought I should add the results of an Utena movie character quiz I took a long time ago. I answered two different ways, cause one question I wanted to put two answers, but couldn't. Here are the characters I am from the Utena movie:

Yesterday, we finished watching Escaflowne at anime club. Some people were "revolting" against the ending, they didn't like it. It is good, it just could be better. But people, that is why the fanfic world exists, so you can write something after the ending that is what you want. That is what I am doing with Noir. I need to finish writing my Noir fanfic, the first one I wrote. I just have to fix a couple of things and then it will be all set and ready for posting. I did start to write the story's sequel, and poor Mireille wants Kirika bad! Mireille will get what she wants later in the story.

I have been cleaning up the room and I need to start packing later. I am going home tomorrow. I have two flights, so I will be spending too much time at the airport. I cannot wait to see my doggies! The puppy is probably so big now.

I am so going to see The Goblet of Fire over break. One of my friends saw it yesterday. I so want to see it! I'm sure I can make time to over break.

Anyway, everyone have a good break if you are on break or just a good weekend if you aren't!!!

I finally got my schedule today! I got into every class I wanted. I don't like that I didn't get into an earlier section of one class, but oh well, at least I am in it. Anyway, here is my schedule:

Introduction to Pacific Asia - M/W/F - 10:00-10:50am
Social Psychology - M/W/F - 11:00-11:50am
Love & Sexuality in Literature and the Arts - M/W/F - 3:10-4:00pm
Psychological Adjustment - T/R - 10:00-11:50am
Bowling I - T/R - 1:10-3:00pm

Yay for the two psych classes! This is kind of my test to see if I actually will major in psych, since I still have no idea if I will or not. Even though, I probably will, cause I just love it too much! I'm glad to be taking a history class again! I have not been in a history class since my junior year in high school. I have missed history so much. I don't know much about Asia, so I am looking forward to it. Bowling is purely for fun. I have actually liked playing badminton, so what the hell, I figured I'd just take another gym class. The humanities class will hopefully be interesting, how can a class about that not be. I do expect it to be a lot of reading though, but most of my classes since semester have been.

I only have one final this semester, which makes me happy. However, I need a good grade on it since my last test in that class was not good. I have tests in my other classes, but they are just on the material since midterm until the end of the semester. I am pretty lucky this semester. But I know that won't be for next semester.

I have a lot of work to do over break, like writing my research paper. Arrg! I still have so much reading left to do for it. Hopefully, if I start next week, I won't have to pull a couple all-nighters to finish it.

I should probably be doing my job, since I am at work and all.

I'm not kidding. There are real Noir sock puppets. Check out this photo album and see them: http://photobucket.com/albums/b24/jewelsw/Noir%20Sock%20Puppets/

They are in a hidden video that you can find during the break of episode 21 of Noir. Here is how. Wait until the second "NOIR" flashes on screen to show where the advertisements end and then press Up, Down, Left, Right to see it. Instructions were taken from www.gamewinners.com. You can find how to find other hidden things on the Noir DVDs there.

The video is hilarious! It made my day! I love it!

Anyway, I am at the library and I should be working on my sociology paper. Damn sociology paper!

Yesterday was the Renaissance festival. It was a lot of fun! I went with Writer's Club, so it was a club trip. A friend of mine who is not in the club went! We both went to every single shop there. It was interesting to look at everything. There was a lot of sharp and pointy things like swords, knifes, maces, and other weapons. As a club, we went to see the Mud Show doing Dante's Inferno. Why is it called the Mud Show? Because the actors in it the go in the mud. The guy playing Dante got mud and ice in his pants. Considering the temperature, that was bad. The actors had their shirts off too. I bet they were really cold. People did get hit by mud! Poor them. It was really interesting and very funny! The whole thing was a blast and I was really tired after it. Both my friend and I fell asleep during the ride back.

Friday was Manga Night! That was fun too. I read manga that I had with me. It lasted for awhile. Eventually people began to talk a lot, like myself, a friend, and the club president. The president is awesome! I really like her!

I have decided to write a prequel and sequel to my Noir story. The prequel will explain the tape in the story. I don't want to write Altena/Chloe. It is wrong on so many levels! But I came up with the idea after all. I don’t know how. I really have a crazy warped mind. The sequel will have a sex scene. Yay for Mireille/Kirika! Actually both of the stories will. My first lemons! YAY!

It seems that in my psych tutorial we are finally getting to the design stage of the research project. It is starting next week. I am so excited! This will be my first research project ever! Yay!

The weather is nasty here today! It is cold and rainy. There are some screaming girls down the hall, but they are cool upperclassman playing a videogame. I believe it is on N64. They are funny.

I've got lots of work to do, so I'm heading to the library. The Renaissance festival is tomorrow!

This morning my chemistry professor was demonstrating how reactive some elements were with water, like sodium and potassium. He put a pretty good size piece of potassium in water and caused a loud explosion. My ears popped and hurt a little bit cause of it. There was so much smoke produced that the fire alarm went off. Yay! Class was shorter. I think the professor enjoyed doing it. It was fun! Yay for explosions that shorten class!

Manga Night is tomorrow! Damn that they really only want you to bring the first volumes of mangas. You can bring all the manga you want, but you should have the first few volumes. All my manga is at home. I'm so going to bring Sensual Phrase to read though! I love that manga! So much sex it in!

I am getting closer to finally being done with editing my Noir fic. I think I may have a problem with something I put in the story. But I think I am just going to ignore it. It would not be hard to re-write if I had to. I just don't have all my Noir DVDs to check if I have this problem. Anyway, hopefully I'll post it soon!

My SM fanfic is now 70 pages long! I can't believe it! To think, this story is no where from being done. I'm only on Chapter 6. There is so much of the story left to write.

I'm so glad midterms are over! All that stress is now gone. Sadly, midsemester break has come to an end. One day off does not constitute a break, but the school thinks so. I did do some reading and work. I have this research paper abstract that is due Wednesday for my religion class. Stupid CONSORT won't let me have electronic access to some books right now, so I'm mad at it!

I did have some fun though. I played Terranigma. It is for SNES. This game is crazy! I have not only resurrected the Earth, but also all of its plants and animals. I cannot talk to plants and animals anymore, but there are people now. I don't even understand what I am doing in the game anymore. Just wandering around and doing things, it seems. Columbus actually made an appearance in the game! He was locked up and I had to rescue him. It is fun to play, but quite crazy!

I did start watching Sailor Moon R! I must be such a SM junkie because I really had fun watching it. I have not seen this season in like over five years. The DVDs take some time to play and I cannot easily move on them, but they work. My computer was having issues and kept crashing, which pissed me off and worried me. Poor computer! I felt bad for it. I ran every possible thing to help my computer. It seems better and the DVD actually played pasted this point where it kept pausing. So everything is fine!

Class tomorrow, not looking forward to that. At least I only have sociology. My chem professor canceled class for tomorrow. Yay! I still have reading to do for class though. I just did some of it and the author must have been smoking the best pot ever when he wrote the book. He is crazy!
