I am a really, really bad person.
I'm not going to lie...I wish I went to West Coast Smash League... I keep thinking about it.
Dude...why am I so friggin' RESTLESS!?
Now that I have vacation (well, I've had it for awhile...) I have loadssss more time to catch up on reading, video games and fashion. I'm still working on my sketchbook, but here are some easy DIY projects I'd like to work on while I have the chance:
My sister told me that she honestly thought I was going through a kind of..."vain" phase when I started taking pictures of myself for my blog and started researching fashion seriously and religiously. I'm happy now that she actually realizes that I've become genuinely interested in fashion and it is by no means a way to advertise myself. Fashion is just...:3 :3 :3
^nerdy way to describe something you love.
In other news...
IF YOU ARE A GAMER, YOU MUST PLAY PERSONA 3 AND 4. YOU WILL BE ADDICTED.
1...actually require eight hours of sleep. I used to get away with five and be fine during high school.
2...EXTREMELY lazy. I hate morning classes! I thought that I'd be used to it because of high school.
3...listen to nothing but hip hop, classical and jpop music. Fuck that old indie shit I used to listen to :P
4...despise bras. I don't have boobs, so why do I bother?
5...despise girls in general. The end.
6...GAIN 10 POUNDS. OH YEAH. GUESS WHO'S 100 NOW!?
7...into a clean freak. I'm obsessed with wiping anything down with Lysol wipes.
8...realize that I only wanted to do ballroom dancing because it looked hot. (Hey, I admitted it!) It's fun, but I just don't have the same drive and passion for it like I do the piano
9...realize that health > school. I've definitely learned this the hard way. (I've been sick or at least had something wrong with me the majority of the quarter.)
10...change my style immensely. Remember how I used to wear all of those bright colors? Not anymore~! I tend to now only have attraction toward things: sheer, lacy or leather. I wear a knitted beanie almost everyday (Dii's inspiration?). Oh, and if it's not black, it's going to be leopard print. Heh. (Btw...Yohji Yamamoto is my new favorite designer. Leather...sheer...lace...DR. MARTENS. How can I NOT fall in love? :D)
Sometimes late at night, I tend to get mood swings. I get really sad and I start to listen to sad songs (especially Otsuka Ai's "Daisuki Dayo"). I wish Dii were here. Everytime we cuddle, he seems to chase away all of the scary things and worries in my life.
The fucker who stole my Zune has the GUTS to connect it to the internet...heh. I received an e-mail from Microsoft saying, "Welcome to Zune!" (In other words, someone re-installed my Zune onto their computer).
If you know if it's possible to find this person's computer with this information (maybe IP address?) please let me know. I still have the serial number of my Zune if that helps.
How are all of you? Damn, haven't written in this in a long time...
I was going to bitch about all of the bad things that have happened to me this quarter, but concentrating on the bad is never good. (Just for the sake of update, here's a list: pneumonia, stolen wallet, Zune and bike light all possibly by a stalker, taking midterms WITH pneumonia and dirty DIRTY roommates.)
My grades are okay. I have one A, two B's and one C. I think I've spread myself out too thin, and I've decided to drop all of my activities and stick with just piano.
Okay, okay...this is going to be a big piano post. I can't even begin to describe the passion that's coming back to me. I can barely listen to anything else BUT classical...Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Burgmuller, Debussy, Bach...it's all so beautiful.
There were two incidents that really stirred something inside of me that really have stirred my passion. First, while I was practicing on the downstairs piano, a girl sat next to me and just listened. I thought that she was just going to watch me stay for a couple of minutes...but a couple of minutes turned into half an hour and she finally said, "Wow, you play beautifully." I was genuinely embarrassed. She asked if she could pull a chair next to me while I practice. I told her that I was going to practice scales next and she said that she liked how I even played scales. I shrugged and said all right. As I played my scales, she sat down, closed her eyes and started to meditate. When I would press something wrong, she would open her eyes and correct me. It turns out that she had played the piano for years and stopped for a while. What touched me was that she said that I kind of inspired her to start playing again.
The second incident was with my new piano teacher. One day she was shuffling through all of my old piano books and came across my book of Burgmuller's songs. She had me play "La Chase." I told her afterward that I love Burgmuller's pieces because they always seem to tell a story. If you ever listen to "La Chase," you can imagine a fox running away from some hunters, then getting caught and becoming free again. I think when I told her about how I felt about Burgmuller, we had...well...musical chemistry. She took the book to her piano beside me and played all of the songs. Every time she played a song, we would talk about the story popping into our heads. I've honestly never had a conversation like that with someone over music. It was so...inspiring.
Despite all of the bad things that are happening to me right now, meeting my new friends whom I can call family, Dii finally saying, "I love you," and revitalizing my passion for piano has definitely made up for all of it.

Damn the UC system for raining on my parade! Like I've told everyone before, I wanted to double major in Chemical Engineering and Fashion Design with a minor in Japanese...however I can't do that because it would be going over the number of units I'm allowed to take during my studies here at Davis...NOOOOOOOO! On top of that, my counselor smacked me on the head (not literally) and told me to get real. If I want to stick with all of the stuff that I'm doing now (ballroom, piano, anime, my store and Tai Chi Chuan), I won't be able to sleep or even eat if I take anything above 20 units. I'm sucking it up...and I'm just going to major in chemical engineering now. Here are the classes I will (hopefully) be able to take next quarter:
General Chemistry 2B
Calculus 21B
Analysis in Biochemistrty, Chemistry and Materials Engineering
Engineering Problem Solving
I'm honestly going to miss not being able to take many humanities classes like history and language. Le sigh...I guess I just really like school haha. I loooooove humanities AND the sciences. Even though I have straight B's right now (no, not B+ or B-...straight B's), I'm enjoying my classes. Well, I wish that astronomy lab didn't end at 11 at night...but I guess it's all right. I'm learning a lot in that class and knowledge is power right? (Corny, I know.) By far, calculus is my favorite class as of now. Nerdy? Oh yes I am.
--NOT SCHOOL RELATED (because that's boring)--
My new group of friends seem so...I don't know, but something's definitely off. Ever since Ernie came back from home, he's been in such a bad mood. Everything seemed so happy and stuff with my friends, but I think Ernie's negativity spread and everyone seems so annoyed of something. I don't have any problems with my friends individually--it's us as a group, as a family. I've talked with Jeff about it and he and I agreed that I should talk to Ernie to see what's up since I'm the one it seems like he'll open up to.
With Smash, the community looks like it's falling apart in my eyes. With good players leaving left and right...who the fuck am I going to play with? n00bz? Fuck that. Everyone seems to be either playing better games or gravitating back to Melee. I'm not going to lie though; I still think Brawl is fun, but Dylan is slowly bringing me back to Melee. Is this the end of my competitive Brawl life? Hopefully not. However, I really am scared about the split that's forming, in my eyes, in the Smash community. I better find another game to be competitive in just in case. (Why the hell isn't Soul Calibur more competitive? T_T And why the fuck is Soul Calibur 2 still better than Soul Calibur 4!? ARGGG!!! The quality of games seriously need to step it up.)
