work hard like you blow me baby

SON OF A GUN!!!! WTF?!?!?!

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 08:48:42 GMT

I just finished playing "Assassin's Creed 2" and what the hell???

I have no idea what's going on!!!

For a game that's eaten the past week of my life, I sure have ZERO idea what it's about!!!

I didn't even know I was facing the final 'boss!'

ARGH!!!!!!!

I'm so frustrated right now, I genuinely thought that there would be more!!

I mean, not that the game wasn't freaking AWESOME, because it totally was, just that I didn't expect it to end how and when it did!

Like, at the end, it's all like (said in a mysterious voice, of course), 'to save the world (or whatever) you must find some random temples and do some random stuff,' and I was all like 'SWEEEEEET!!! There are temples?!!? BEST GAME EVAR!!! *rubbing my hands with glee, but not really, cuz I was too wired to let go of the controller*' And then all of a sudden, DONE.

What the HELL?!!?!? I don't get to go on another adventure and kill more people?!? Now there's just something WRONG with that!

That, and combined with the fact that I didn't play the first one, now that it's over, I STILL don't understand the story line AT ALL.

And if I would have known it would have ended like that, I would have went through and completed all those little side quests and what not!

They should really warn people! Like put a large, 'BTW, you are about the finish the game, HEADS UP!' Jeeze!

Okay, fine! I'm just sad that it's all over!

...But now I can play it all over again!

(I am such a dork!)

Hey!!!

Long time!

So, summary of events!

(Not that I just got back from Japan or anything! I wish!)

But I have to say that I went mainly for shopping, and that I fail as a stalker-slash-fangirl.

No, like seriously FAIL.

I was a little disappointed though. One of my girlfriends said that Kame's face was gonna be plastered everywhere I go, EVERYWHERE!!!! So of course I would be super excited!

Not so at ALL!!!! What the hell, right? Jeez!!!! I pretty much only saw like two posters of him, and it was for the Gokusen Movie, so it wasn't even like he was front and center! TWO!!!! So ridiculous!!! I got my hopes up for nothing!!!

So in Seoul, you literally couldn't go anywhere without being assaulted by their pop culture, pictures, ads, posters and the lasted music and music videos playing on screens everywhere! Every restaurant, shop, and train, completely covered!! So I kind of expected it to be the same in Tokyo, but that was so NOT the case! Maybe I just went to all the wrong places.

Okay, so I know I totally went to all the wrong places, but throw me a bone would ya?

When I say that I went to shop, I'm not even kidding, I shopped every single day I was there. I couldn't help myself! Everything was so fricking CUTE!

I did not see one temple, one shrine, palace, anything cultural, NOTHING! I shopped like crazy, and now I'm broke!!!

But I wouldn't have it any other way!!

Man, Japanese girls are so cute! (I suspect they all have the same plastic surgeon, though...) And they're so skinny!!! It's crazy! All wide eyes, long hair, high heels and short skirts!

The thing is, I don't even LIKE shopping! But this was something else! I bought like 12 pairs of shoes, and I don't even know how many outfits! It was all loose flowy tops, lace, bows and frills, and a lot of dresses! I could not help myself! So CUTE!

But clothes and shoes and little knick knacks aside, I didn't do too, too much. It was a pretty tame trip. I didn't hit any clubs, too expensive, but mostly because I would wake up super early (for me!) to get some free bread then head out and go shopping right away. By the time night time came, I was exhausted!

So to sum up, I know nothing of the Imperial Palace or Tokyo Dome (I know! I fail life!), but I do know Shibuya and Harajuku like the back of my hand! I managed to convince myself that the shopping districts would be where Kame would be hanging out at anyway :P I'll do better next time! I will stalk that beautiful boy like he's never been stalked before!!!

More details later!

I'm so freaking pissed!!!

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 08:23:44 GMT

Damn you computer nerds!!! And your assuming that everyone else understands you when you say stuff!!!

How the hell was I to know that all I had to do, to make the program run, is to rename the fucking file!!! I mean it would have saved a lot of time and effort if he would have just TOLD me beforehand!!!

And you know what else drives me crazy? When people ignore what I say. I mean, what the fuck is up with that?!?! I'm asking you a question for a REASON! And my "pseudo-cyber-boyfriend" aka the freaking computer nerd, doesn't seem to understand human interaction! I mean, come on!!! I know you do this day in and day out, help people with their petty computer problems, but would it kill you to have a little humour, or at the very least acknowledge that I have no idea what the FUCK you're talking about, so you should BREAK IT DOWN!!!! Not talk in minimalist nerd-speak!!!

GOD!!! And he's probably reading this as I'm typing this, because who knows what the fuck these random programs he's having me run REALLY does. I know I don't. And why is that you ask! It's because boyfriend here, won't explain the whys and whats of the matter.

And I'm exhausted. I haven't slept in two days trying to fix my laptop.

And I'm at this very moment still procrastinating packing for my flight.

That's in 5 hours.

I'm going to Tokyo BABY!!!!!

Which makes me super happy of course!

Just that I don't wanna risk any other infections to my laptop, so I'm gonna leave it behind, thus breaking the cycle of half/partial successes I've been having with my laptop.

At least I think they could be called successes... At least some of the programs are running!

Anyways!!! Be back soon, hopefully in a better mood and to a less ornery laptop, then I gotta get down to business and tell all!!

(Fuck, I'm so excited, rumor has it that Kame's face is pretty much pasted over every single flat surface in Tokyo!!!!)

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEE!

!!!!

Sun, 21 Jun 2009 10:31:36 GMT

So yeah, I'm not dead...!

I've actually been home for a while now, Seoul was FABULOUS, thanks for asking!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much to say!!!

But!

So, first off, my computer's being a little bitch. It's going to die any day now, I know it. And it sucks cuz right now I don't have enough money for a new laptop right now!

I want a mac SOOOOO bad! But $1400 CAD?!?! Jesus! Are you kidding me?!? I just got back from holiday! So here's hoping that my laptop will at least last me til the end of summer and then some! And it's totally been acting up in the most random ways possible!!! I don't even know what the hell I've done! ...Except my comp's probably ornery because of the ongoing verbal abuse I keep hurling at it. That, and I've totally been emotionally cheating on it by searching for nice, NEW laptops which is probably what's landing me in my current predicament. Please refer to the following:

Any computer nerds in the house?

It randomly freezes mostly when it's starting up, but also sometimes when I'm in the middle of stuff too, so I have to remove the battery and restart all the time! Very frustrating! AND!!!! my trusting Google toolbar is acting up! I can't use any search engines!!! When I do, and try to follow a link, it redirects me to another, random, obscure search engine!!! WTF?!?! Do you know how hard it is to live without Google?!?!

And have I mentioned that my power button no longer works? Yeah, the only way to turn on the damn thing is to touch the Quickplay/DVD thingy/button/thing and then go to Windows from there. Mother-Eff.

What's the lifetime of a laptop anyway???? I feel like it should be longer than this!

Anyways, needless to say, I've been working like a Mother, trying to pay off all the debt I racked up in Seoul. Not that I'm complaining. Too much. Although if I could do it all over again, I would have gotten that Marc Jacobs bag at the duty free in the top floor of that random department store. I still dream about it. *sigh* It was so beautiful. And it was 15% off.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut, I would be even MORE in debt. Like $1000 CAD more. So I guess it was a good thing I didn't give into temptation... Just that, well, I still think about it a lot...

*deep breath*

OOO!!!! Exciting though!!! This looks like it's gonna be a pretty good freaking summer!!!!

Why, you might ask?

Because I'm going to Japan, Baby!!!!

I know, right?!?!?!?

I totally just got back! But I'm like leaving again in like a week and a half!!! And I know what you're thinking, it would have been a better idea for me to just chill out in Korea, and go to Japan directly cuz it would have been cheaper, but I totally would have lost my ~~crappy~~ job, so thus, the few weeks delay!!!

I'm so excited!!!

Kame, baby! Momma's coming!!!

(HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!)

More to come, I swear!!! South Korea's WAY too exciting to NOT write about!

I Hate Packing!!!

Tue, 05 May 2009 08:16:43 GMT

I've spent so much time rearranging that my fingers don't even work properly anymore!!!

It's total trials and tribulations to even type, yah?

So I'm not even close to being done, but I need a break! I am SOOOO forgetting something important!

Got the tweezers though!

At least I won't be scaring the children with my man!beast!brows while I'm away!

See you in a month!

^_______________^

I'm sooooooooo tired!!!

Sat, 25 Apr 2009 21:25:32 GMT

It's that kind of tired that you get when all you ever want from life, is to curl up and sleeeeeeeep... (For sixteen hours. At least.)

But can't because of all that darn instant coffee you had so, SO long ago, and why the hell hasn't it run its course already, I'm ready to sleep, darn it!

I'm a complete baby. Caffeine and me do not, and will never, mix in a way that would prove beneficial to us both.

I'm done my last final, bitch! Release me already! I need to sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep...

No more pulling all nighters anymore! At least until next term, but I guess I can always hope that I would have learned my lesson by then, that cramming hardcore the night before morning of my final, and chugging instant coffee's not gonna make random factoids stick any easier in my poor, abused brain!

Especially not with all that shaking, and jittery hands, and running solely on stale adrenaline.

My heart's still pounding like woah, and I drank that darn coffee at like 4 in the morn! My body's so stressed!!! I feel so delicate right now! Ugh!

OOOOH! Haven't talked about bastard textbook fees in a while, so I thought I should just share this little tidbit that is well known to the entire post-secondary (and beyond!) population:

The University Bookstore is the DEVIL!!!

That bastard! Screw you for not taking texts back for the full price if the plastic's gone! I didn't even crack it open!! I bought my bitch of an anatomy textbook for like $180, haven't used it EVER, and they want to buy it back for $57. FIFTY-SEVEN DOLLARS!!!!

DEVIL!!!

Long story short, I lugged ALL my textbooks to school to sell today after my final, much to the strain of my poor, poor EXPLODING heart, found out that not only are they trying to swindle me, they dare tell me that half of my texts they weren't even gonna buy back, because some schmuck!prof decided to change their curriculum, and now that text book is USELESS!!!! ARGH!!!!

So I lugged them all back home.

My poor back. My poor heart. My poor, mistreated SOUL!

I am way too cute to feel this shitty.

*attempting for the nth time to go to sleep*

*sigh*

ARGH!!!!!! I'm not going to be here!!!!

Wed, 22 Apr 2009 20:29:47 GMT

DAMN YOU!!!

*shaking my fist at some elusive entity that cannot be identified*

So, have you met me?

I'm absolute crap at doing the things I say I'm going to do. If you haven't noticed.

Forget London.

Hello Seoul.

EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! *super excited*

Leaving in less that two weeks, gonna be done with my last final in a few days, and just the thought of stalking Korean pop idols through the streets of SEOUL should make everything A-awesome.

And it is!

Just, just that I'm going to be missing out!!!!! *WAILS*

I''m gonna be missing The Stills AND Joel Plaskett this summer!!!!

MOTHER-EFFER!!! This sucks!!! Balls!!!

So now I'm torn between prancing down the streets with banners and ribbons because 'I'll be in SEOUL, baby!' and pouting/sulking in the corner because in my list of top ten things I wanna do before I die is marry Joel Plaskett. And The Stills. In three month intervals.

*sigh*

Tue, 14 Apr 2009 23:26:33 GMT

Oh, KAT-TUN!

You never cease to make make me laugh with your unintelligible English, which is pure LOVE, I assure you, your crap dancing and imagined sexiness!

...I'm a fan, I swear!!

*titters some more*

In regards to KAT-TUN's PV of "One Drop" which I have FINALLY gotten around to watching:

What the hell!?!

From the get go, this vid had me grinning like a madwoman!

I mean, really Akanishi Jin! Can you look any LESS interesting? Any less interestED?!?! You're a frickin' Pop Star for crying out loud! Live a little!!! And why do the Higher Powers That Be keep dressing you up in such bulky looking outfits?!?! Outlined in FUR???? It makes him look enormously out of shape! I mean JE is notoriously known to be super tacky, but COME ON! That, and Jin TOTALLY looked like he has a lazy eye in the later portion of the video!!! HAHAHA!!

And don't even get me started on Ueda!!!

Wait, scratch that! DO!!! UEDA IS THE MOST BORING-EST BORE THAT WAS EVER BORED UPON THIS EARTH!!!!! Yeah, I said it!! You were thinking it!

But for real! How is it that someone with zero personality and zero stage presence became part of one of today's top Idol groups is beyond me! I mean sure, the dude's moderately decent looking and has an amiable voice, but can he do anything else?!?!

Much love for his fanbase that tries to make him more interesting than he actually is, now that's dedication!

Moving on from Ueda, whose appearance added nothing, and took nothing away from this video...

Nakamaru!!! What did they do to your hair!!! You look like a little boy!!!

...I kinda like it... It makes him more fun to look at. Though that's not saying TOO much, as his past Fun Potential read something like negative 14... And his eyebrows are pure UGLY.

Junno.... I like the hair, but not the bangs, his voice is quite weak in this song, anyone else notice this? Or is it just me? And I've always found him more of a background personality, that's he only stands out when he's in the background, and when he's in the foreground I always find my eyes wandering...

Now, I swear, I did like SOME things in this video! REALLY!!!

Koki being one of them!!

I've ALWAYS adored Koki! He just always seems to be the one that looked like he enjoys performing, he's just so into what he's doing and his face is so expressive! And this "One Drop" PV is no exception! He's so over-the-top, it's a pleasure to watch! And I like how he's (the Powers That Be are) filling out his eyebrows more!

Last, but not least, KAME KAME KAME!!! How I love you so!

Honestly, he could be doing anything and I would love him for it! Even though that cheesy wink n' wave combo in the beginning made me LAUGH!!!!

So, I really like his hair. Really. It's adorable!!! The curls and volume that no self-respecting man would ever sport, is just so flattering on one Kamenashi Kazuya! And I don't really REALLY mind the outfit the Powers That Be put him in. Not much anyway, Kame make's it look ALMOST cute...(although I'll never understand his choice in shoes...) His movements are sharp and precise as always, and all the more laughable because of it!!! HEHEHEHEHEEEEE!!!

The PV as a whole I liked though, despite all that ranting above! I like the whole black/white contrast, the big airy rooms, the nice cars, red carpet, I thought it was well done! I especially like the lighting and the in the limo scenes! I do like it! Even though they appeared to be totally out of sync when dancing together!!!!

Now I say appear, because I was laughing so hard, it could have just been my eyes dancing in my sockets that made it look like they weren't together, but... pffttttt!!!!! FUNNY!!! I think those moves were too complicated, and they were all standing a little too close to one another to properly execute those moves. At least that's what it looked like anyway!

So, now it comes down to the song itself! Yeah, okay. It was okay. I like the pace, how it's more upbeat. Of course I have no idea what they are singing about!!! The background instrumentals sound familiar though, and I feel like they've already done something like this before, but I'm not intrigued enough to go find out. I think the mid-rap thing that Koki does kinda takes something away from the song, and I find it completely random. But overall, it sounds of KAT-TUN, that much is distinct. A pleasant listen, but nothing to induce me to add it to my playlist.

In general, though I like the song and video individually, well enough, I feel they don't quite mesh well together. Aside from Koki (and Kame, because, omg, LOVE), the others don't appear sing with the feeling that matches the song, and while that makes me laugh, it's a little awkward to watch.

LOVE LOVE KAME! LOVE KOKI!

Edit: So in re-reading this, I realize that I sound like a total jerk in regards to Ueda. My bad. I realize the guy can't help appearing how he... appears...? I'm sure he's a wonderfully Fun guy! Off camera. *cough* Well, I like his smile, and he looks good in glasses! And, and, I generally like his style. Except his shoes. His boots are normally cute, but his shoes...

"I do not sit at home with the pause button on Colin Firth in clingy pants"

Really? Because I TOTALLY do!!!

EEEEEEEEHEHEHEHE!!! *feeling very naughty*

I am completely in love with Lost in Austen!!!

They, whoever "They" are, aired the first episodes in North America recently and OMG!!! super exciting!

It's about modern, everyday Pride and Prejudice lover, Amanda Price, being dumped in Jane Austen's P&P world, in place of dear Lizzie Bennet and what happens there after!

So after watching the first two episodes, I freaked out and proceeded to watch the rest online, and HOLY MOTHER!!! It's outrageous!

I'm all like screaming at the screen, and freaking out and omg, is this what P&P would be like with out its heroine Elizabeth Bennet??!?

Overall, I really, really like it! It's pretty frickin' crazy!

And I never thought it possible, but Mr. Collins in this mini series, is even more gross than in the novel AND the movie. Put together. *shudder*

Wed, 25 Mar 2009 12:12:19 GMT

Time is a really funny thing.

I don't understand it at all.

Growth, another thing I can't seem to wrap my mind around.

For me, that is not the case at all. I find my lack of growth these last few years astounding! It's a little bothersome actually, I'm exactly the same person I was x-amount of years ago. Scary.

I mean, aside from the natural expansion of the scholarly academics aspect of my life, personality-wise, I'm the EXACT same. I talk the same, I sound the same, I write the same. I express myself exactly as I did so many years ago.

Perhaps with a larger vocabulary, and better grammar, but still the same.

I thought I might of matured a little these past few years, but I really haven't. And that worries me a little. I feel like I have to take a break (from what, I have no idea) and step back and re-evaluate how I come off sounding to everyone. Take a long, hard look at my life and see what changes should be made.

I suppose it was a little arrogant of me, assuming that in time I'll become a better person, well read, articulate, clever even. And right now it's feeling like a slap in the face knowing that all this "self-growth" I had thought would naturally take place, so many years ago, didn't actually happen at all. I'm standing still.

I guess what I'm trying to say, is that I feel like I haven't moved forward at all. And I hate the thought of being left behind.

Does this even make any sense?

I know I'm being completely absurd, and I should stop feeling sorry for myself, that the fact that I haven't really changed should mean that I had become so secure with myself at such an early age, that there really isn't any facet of my personality that needs to be perfected, so woah, chill girl, you aren't emotionally stunted!

I still feel cheated somehow. I guess I had gotten used to the idea (still AM used to the idea) that one of these days, I'm just gonna wake up and be the person I've always wanted to be. Given time. It just hasn't happened yet.

Right.

Anyways! What brought about this seemingly random psychobabble, one might ask?

I was feeling bored, and seeing as there is a distinct lack of good, NEW fic for me to read, I decided to dive back to my roots. Back to basics, so to speak.

I went sloughing through my old favourites folder and looked up all the old fic, from all the old fandoms I used to be into and sat back and READ.

That's right, that spiral down into self-pity was induced by fic. See what I mean about lack of growth?

Moving on! I came across this unfinished fic that I absolutely ADORE, from like a million years ago, that I've read like a zillion times, I could probably quote it, I've read it so many times! I still love it, adore it, worship the ground it walks on, and pathetically enough, I still watch for updates even though it's been YEARS and I should give it up for dead. So, after reading it all over again from the beginning, I felt the overwhelming urge to contact the author and gush about how much I still love it, and will love it until the end of time blahblahblah, but I can't find her email!

Weirdly enough, I remember that I had commented on her story years ago, and she responded back to me by email, but to an email address that I no long use. Still wanting to find that email address, and being the huge creep that I am, I thought that maybe, like LJ, she might have commented to my comment, oh so long ago, so I hunted through pages and pages of review to find mine, just in case.

See, this being on fanfiction.net (please don't judge! you can find good writing there! you just have to dig through piles and piles of crap to get to it!), like LJ, comments are public, and I'm super uncomfortable commenting publicly on a piece of writing that hasn't been touched for so long. With the likelihood of the author actually noticing my comment being, oh, lets say, slim to none?

Anyways, I didn't find her elusive email, as expected, but I did find the old comment I wrote. In 2006. Three years ago, almost to the day!

I sounded like a complete moron. And apparently still do. Christ.

So now I'm hideously embarrassed and mortified at myself. Absolutely mortified.

*holds head in hands*

Tue, 24 Mar 2009 05:59:11 GMT

I like Kings of Leon.

There is just something about the lead singers voice that makes my heart ache. I love singing along, their songs just calls for putting all your feeling into it, and I like that!

So I was listening to the radio recently, and did anyone know that Kings of Leon is made up of family members? Three brothers, and one cousin.

My mind automatically jumps to "like the Jonas Brothers?" LAME!!!

I mean I DO like Kings of Leon, really! It's just kind of weird! I just can't imagine ever touring, or hooking up with groupies, or any of that fun stuff you have carte blanche to do when you're in a band, while random family members are floating around!

I mean, how AWKWARD is it to be singing about your sex being on fire along side your SIBLINGS!?

Some things are just not meant to be part of Family Fun Time.

Or maybe I'm just a total prude. Still, *imagines such a situation* ... *shudders*

It's probably different for guys. Or people that are more open about their sex lives with their families...

Considering that I ~~secretly~~like the idea of certain Japanese Idols Making Out, I clearly do not fall into THAT category!

^______________^

Onward to LONDON!!!!

Tue, 17 Mar 2009 06:30:21 GMT

Well, in June anyway!

But I am SO EXCITED!!!!

I've been so grouchy lately, thinking that I can't afford to go on a trip this year, but looks like the fates are smiling at me now!

I'm totally not the type of person to ever actually PLAN a trip beforehand, just having some vague idea of when, where and how much is pretty much the extent of how much planning I do before I pack up and leave. But because I'm so obscenely poor this year (how this happened, I have NO IDEA! Well, aside from the fact that I can't save worth shit...) I decided to get a head start and take a look around at ticket prices before I abandon my dreams.

149CAN to fly to London.

I shit you not.

!!!!! O_O !!!!!

That's ridiculous!!!!

And I thought finding a flight to London for 321CAN last year was good!!!

I can't believe my luck!!!

Now all I have to do is figure out if I actually NEED to take a spring class this year (which would probably be Hell No, even if it were necessary, because, HELLO! 149CAN to go to London!!!) who I'm gonna go with and when I'm coming back!!!!

149CAN!!!!!!!! *SQUEAL*

So, you know what's totally weird, that I don't understand?

How is it that it takes only 149CAN (not including tax and stuff) to fly to London, but around 199CAN to fly WITHIN Canada? Does that make ANY sense at all?!?!

I mean, how does flying to a city, that's only like 3 hours drive away, being more expensive than going halfway around the globe make any sense?

ESPECIALLY when flying from London to Dublin (I want to go Ireland this year too!) only cost about 12CAN!? (not including taxes and stuff)

What is wrong with the world!

But still, 149CAN!!!!!

*super happy*

HAPPY (late) B-DAY KAME!!!

Tue, 24 Feb 2009 18:41:34 GMT

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!

So I totally know that your birthday was actually YESTERDAY, but due to circumstances beyond my control ~~I went to bed at 730pm... I was tired OKAY!~~, I missed out on the chance to wish you happy b-day, but late is better than never, right?

ANYWAYS!!!

So, Love you lots!

I just wanna start with a few apologies, I'm like the worst stalker ever! And I call myself a fangirl! For shame!

This year I shall endeavor to be more devout in your religion, because as any self-respecting fangirl knows, Kame!Fan is more than just a three syllable word (it's a word?), it's a way of life!

And I have been ever so remiss in my work!

So!

1) Finish watching all your dramas, not just the first few episodes. Especially your newest one, cuz I totally love wine! And your new hair.

2) Re-watch Nobuta wo Produce for the zillionth time. To remind why I fell for you in the first place. That, and I'm not gonna lie, I REALLY like you pale and frail...

3) Catch up on watching Cartoon KAT-TUN. Skipping all parts that don't involve you, as per usual.

4) Go on youtube spree and catch up on all the random appearances and variety shows that you've been on. This includes all music videos I've missed as well. (Which is a lot! Bad me!)

5) Find some more recent pictures. Again, I'm loving the hair.

6) Make a habit of regularly Fangirling about you in my journal entries. Because what is love, if not posting something on the net and have it forever ~~incriminate~~immortalized.

LOVE YOU, BEAUTIFUL BOY!!!!

*big, wet, squishy, muah*

*MUAHMUAHMUAH*

Sun, 08 Feb 2009 03:12:42 GMT

WHAT THE SHIT?!?!?!? WTF?!?!?!?!

MY LIFE AS I KNOW IT IS NOW OVER!!!!

EVERYTHING I'VE EVER KNOWN TO BE TRUE, IS ACTUALLY A CRUEL LIE!!!!

So I just found out that the dude that plays Robinson Crusoe on "Crusoe" does NOT actually have an English accent!!! He's AMERICAN!!!!

ARGH!!!! THE DECEPTION, OH THE DECEPTION!!!!!!!!!!!

How will I ever live with myself?!!? My dream man, with the beautiful body, actually has a boring AMERICAN accent!!!

INCONCEIVABLE!!!

...

Although he IS pretty freakin' HOT!!! I think I could learn to forgive and forget...

*fans self*

I mean, with this to look forward to every week, how can I not...

*bites thumb HARD*

I'm super uncool, eh?

Sat, 07 Feb 2009 21:13:35 GMT

You know what I don't get?

What is up with people needing to be constantly connected with everyone?

...Kay, I don't think I phrased that correctly...

WHATEVER!

*jumps on soapbox*

What the hell is this 'twitter' bullshit I keep hearing about?!?!

I mean, at least that's what I think is the premise behind all these online services...

I don't like the whole idea of someone knowing where i am, what I'm doing, and who I'm doing it with! Why would anyone what to know that anyway? I like the feeling of not being able to be found, of just getting lost, and being alone with my thoughts!

I don't even like having a cell phone for that very reason! (I mean wtf is up with those 'what are you doing?' text msgs?!?! I HATE those! Really, 1.5 secs of my life was just wasted reading that dumb message that I'm not gonna reply to anyways! 1.5 secs that I'm never gonna get back!!) If you wanna know how I'm doing, let's go for coffee of something! None of this text messages, instant message, bull shit! I wanna see you reactions and facial expressions in person!

That's also the same reason why I don't like talking on the phone, that, and I'm like, super stunted and disabled when I'm on the phone!

I'm a simple person!

Sorta...

You know what else I don't like? FACEBOOK!

Yeah, I said it!

I mean, what do I care what little Billy has been doing since our last play date in Kindergarden?!? I've survived this long without talking to you, I'm sure I could go the rest of my life without the pleasure of knowing what you did last Saturday!!

And what is up with the whole 'I have a gazillion friends from all over up to and including that random guy that I sorta went to school with that one year I lived in that city a million of years ago'?!?!? Who cares?!?!

I just find it exhausting trying to keep up with people I don't care one wit about, just for the sake of 'making connections'.

Oh, that, and I think Status Updates are lame.

(Julie is currently sad because she has nothing to do this Wed.)

What the hell is up with that?!?!

ARGH!!! Why don't you try, I don't know, growing a BRAIN?!?!

Whatever happened to good old fashioned face-to-face conversations???

(I am SUCH a cow!)

Needless to say, I don't have facebook, OR twitter, and I'd rather have my small intestines gouged out with a plastic spork, than cross over and join the cool kids to keep my 'friend' count up.

Although I DO like to email, and of course let out steam by blogging!

Is that the same thing, though?

I HOPE not! Or else I'm the biggest, most judgmental, insufferable, hypocrite EVER!

(Which, I suppose, isn't really a surprise...)

Although in my defense, I don't really expect many people to stumble upon my corner of the web and read my mindless ramblings, let alone CARE, so it's totally different!

And I like to think that Real Life is Real Life, and should be spent PARTICIPATING in the activities that make it so, and Web Life is Web life and that distinction should be realized...

Maybe.

I make no sense!

*runs and go hides under a rock*

*peeks out from rock*

You know what else I don't like?

Foaming hand soap!!!

What does it say about us, as a society, that we've gotten so lazy that we can't even be bothered to physically foam up our hand soap?!?!

And I feel that my hands aren't as clean if the soap's already 'pre-foamed'! There's less rubbing!!!

...

Who the hell is that random white guy and what do I have to do to marry you?!?!

Thu, 05 Feb 2009 17:57:57 GMT

*EEEEEEEEEEEE*

O-M-G!!!! SOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD LOOKING!!!!

Okay, okay!

*deep slow breathes*

Trailer for the Korean live action, "Antique Bakery"...

*breathe speeds up*

!!!!!!!!

So hot! Who the hell is this random?!?! I've been trolling google like crazy, and I can't find any mention of who this white guy is!!!

I know nothing about him, but he is the star of all my fantasies! Just seeing him for those brief 4 (non-consecutive) seconds has my heart fluttering like a little school girl!!

Oh dear!

But in any case!

Question: Why is it that talking about the weather is considered 'small talk' and should therefore only be used in awkward situations?

The weather is super important! And note worthy! I refuse to categorize it in the realm of 'subjects that should only be referred to when there is nothing better to talk about'!!!

I mean, for example: Since when the hell did winter only last a measly, mere month in CANADA?!?!

MADNESS!!!

What is going on?!?!

Not that all is green and warm and sprouting flowers everywhere, but the sun IS shining!

It's so weird! I'm used to waking up (in winter) to a black sky, having it not lighten up till about 10am~ish, then having it go all dark by like 4pm; but today, when I came from the train station, the sky was totally bright! And it was only 8am!!!

MADNESS!

It's only the beginning of February for goodness sake! Is this what global warming has done to us?!?!

So the snow's totally melting, it's slushy and gross, and the slushy and grossness has frozen over and turned to ice, which makes it super hard to walk without slipping like every other step, and I DON'T LIKE IT!!!

It must seriously suck to be the post man! (Well fine, post PERSON to be PC and all!)

Emily, don't be scared! I just wanna have your baby!

Thu, 18 Dec 2008 08:39:01 GMT

*EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! Metric is un-freaking-believable, live!!!!

BEST CONCERT EVER!!!!!

My goodness! If you've never seen Metric live, then you haven't LIVED!

Emily Haines is SOOOOO cute!!!

She's so freaking bouncy, and so full of energy! She MUST be on crack or something, I don't know how she manages to be so upbeat, jumping all over the place and not even sound out of breathe!!!

Emily Haines is also surprisingly ditzy on stage! Talking all about peace and love and living the rock and roll dream!!! How adorable!

Like, a few years ago, she forgot the words to "Stadium Love" and when she was singing it tonight, she referred to that time and told us all to sing along just in case! What a cutie!

And don't get me started on James Shaw's guitar! What that boy does is pure MAGIC!!! And when they do acoustic!! *dies*

Metric did a lot of brand new songs from their upcoming album! AMAZING!!! I'm really looking forward to it!

But when they played the oldies!!! *SCREAM MY LITTLE HEART OUT*

I actually flipped out when they played "Combat Baby"! It felt like all my dreams came true!

*shivers*

Tokyo Police Club was pretty good too! They're super cute!

And I was also pleasantly surprised by The Dears too! I had no idea they were gonna be that incredible!

More later! Up super early baking so I am BUSHED! Especially since I just spent the last 4 hours jumping up and down like the crazy fangirl I am!

Mein Gott! It's been forever!

Mon, 24 Nov 2008 13:10:52 GMT

And looks like the world has moved on without me!!!

Countdown to what I've been up to:

7) My hair is no longer *gasp* blonde!!! I'm totally digging my new colour, but blondes really DID have more fun!

6) I saw that I (unbelievably) scored a A on my anatomy exam (the one that I finished in 20mins cuz I was so freaked out I didn't know anything, then peaced out early to go eat East Indian food) and had been waiting for the big "Just kidding! Haha! Fooled you! You FAIL" and it finally happened! Due to using the wrong answer key (although that STILL make no sense to me, how the hell does everyone's marks DROP from using the RIGHT answer key?!?) the first time around everyone's exams had to be re-marked. I actually got a B-, which is a lot better than I was expecting the first time around, but COME ON!!! Don't give me a rocking grade and then TAKE IT AWAY!!!! I haven't told anyone due to shame, I'm an insufferable boaster. Serves me right. *sigh*

5) I STILL haven't watched the last two episodes of America's Next Model. I lost the will after my Marjorie got kicked off. What can I say? I like my women pale and frail! ^________^

4) OH! Speaking of things that break my heart!!! Kendra, Bridget AND Holly all left Heff!!! WTF?!?! Holly, the love of my life is dating Criss Angel?!?! And Kendra's engaged to a football player?!?! What the hell!! What happened to my Girls Next Door!!!! *bawls*

3) Now this may or may not be an upside, I can't decide yet, but I think I may of made friends with my bus driver. It's cool cuz he's the super nice type that wishes everyone a nice day and all, but I value my quiet time on my bus rides and would prefer to be left alone... God! I'm such a jerk!

2) I FINALLY got a chance to watch that little clip of Kame MODELING!!! *EEEEEEEEEEEE* What a cutie! And due to my weird ability to make random connections that don't really connect, I've found out that I really AM destined to meet Kame because *drumroll* the song that was playing while Kame sashayed down the runway was remixed by one of my favorite artists!!! MSTRKRFT!!!! AND!!! They are coming to my city to do a show in December, so CLEARLY something wonderful is brewing in me and Kame's future! It's fate!

1) Also in relation to my favorite cutie.... Kame's doing a new drama in January to do with WINE!!! A-awesome! I'm a total beer girl, especially after Copenhagen and Munich, but I got of lots of love for wine and like to play the connoisseur! AND it's doesn't seem like it'll be a romance! YES! So two of my fave things, Kame and wine, can life get any better?!?!

PEACE!!!!!!!!

Why me??? WHY?!?!

Thu, 06 Nov 2008 21:29:03 GMT

Gosh darn it!

I never answer the door, or the phone, I do dislike being disturbed!

The ONE time I do!!! ARGH! Some old dude bearing *shudders* the Word of God.

Now, no offense of anything, believe what you will! It's just NOBODY interrupts my Munich!Marzipan induced orgasm for anything! Goodness!

So here I am, dazed and confused, crazy blond bed-head (because why brush your hair if you don't have to?), wearing my Molson Canadian "You Have to Feel This Fabric" sleeping shirt, ENTIRELY inappropriate for engaging in a conversation about "our good Lord" or whatever. Why do I have to be so polite?!?!?

What makes this worse is that old dude is apparently my neighbour! Who's gonna come back and quiz me in a few days about what I've learned, after consulting the Bible like a good little Christian. Which I'm NOT btw. ARGH! It's gonna be so hard to avoid him if he's my neighbour! Come and check on me, what are you? My mom?!?!

Man, I only opened my door because I thought it might be my lashes coming in! Darn my vanity!

AND, AND! My internal speakers on my laptop don't work! (Not that these two events are in any way related, but still sucks!) Which means I cannot hear the melodious sound of my voice syncronizing (quite perfectly if I may say so myself!) with Anthony Kiedis' on a regular basis! Do you know what happens if I don't get my daily dose of Chili Peppers?!?! Bad things, that's what!

Thank goodness my local radio station occasionally does me right!

shriekity shreik shriek !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*curls up in a little ball*

I don't know why I always do this to myself!

I like scary movies. I like being scared. Freaky, I know. But I'm not too fond of watching them by myself, which is what I always end up doing, because no one else I know like scary movies!

So here I am, all bundled up, sitting in front of my laptop, holding myself. Basking in the aftermath. *shivers*

I just finished watching "Rule #1", a ghost movie I just randomly picked up the last time I was at one of those cheap Chinese movie places, you know, the ones where you can buy the latest boot-legged copy of "Heroes" or the like.

Chinese ghost movies are SO much scarier than their western counterparts! Freaky, freaky!

Yeah, so I like being scared, but it's still a little unnerving screaming by myself in an empty room... or is it? *shriek* O______O

Actually the movie wasn't as scary as I thought it was going to be!

...No, no it was pretty darn scary! And I'm super jumpy! I'm probably gonna have nightmares for the next month! Nice. It was just a lot more... tragic than I expected it to be.

Excuse me while I hold myself and rock back and forth in the corner while casting suspicious glances behind me every few seconds... For the next few days...

Moose Crossing!!!!!

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 23:53:06 GMT

I think I might have to move to Japan!

The feeling of superiority is too rich, I don't know if I could give it up!

Just came back from a mini road-trip this weekend, to Banff, a seriously cute, all Canadian little tourist town. Also the STD capital of Canada.

...Or so I've heard...*raised eyebrow*

Hey, just helping the statistics limp along! *harumph* We're just really friendly people!

In any case! I LOVE going to Banff! Try to go at a couple times a year, gorgeous, gorgeous scenery! For real! The mountains look straight out of a Kokanee commercial! So picturesque! We really do have some of the best landscape in all the world! *proud*

Right! So although summer's over and the bulk of the tourists had already left, there's still a lot of them wandering the streets!

I've noticed that a lot of the tourist shops are owned and run by Japanese people, which makes sense because there are so many Japanese tourists!

Me and my friends are just shopping, walking around, minding our own business when suddenly! SURROUNDED! By Japanese High School students!!!

"KAWAII, KAWAII!!!"

Every where we turned- "KAWAII!!!"

Did I mention it was an all girls high school?

My friends thought they were annoying and underfoot because they were freakin' EVERYWHERE, but I'm not gonna lie, I kinda liked it!

Not in that Hey-I'm-a-creepy-old-man kinda way (surprisingly!), although they were darn cute with their matching uniforms and winter jackets! But because some of them were even shorter than me!!!!! OMG!!! That pretty much never happens!

Thus the whole contemplating moving to Japan thing. The possibility of being, not tall, but tallER than a handful of the population really makes my heart warm! ~~That, and of course my Kame obsession, OBVIOUSLY!~~

But actually, I don't know if I could ever live in Japan. I like being part of the minority. I am WAY too conceited to merely BLEND IN! *shudders* Just like how being in Vancouver makes me feel weird (seriously, there's so many asians, it's like freakin' CHINA!!!!) I don't know if I can cut it! But I would still like to go to Japan ~~and stalk Kame~~ and feel that wonderful high of physically (and not just emotionally!) looking down on someone!

Or I'll just go back to Banff! Climb a mountain, soak in hot springs, eat a caribou! BOO YAH!

BIENVENUE!

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:37:18 GMT

Woah! It's been awhile! And yes, that is the extent of my nine years of in-school French, and I only know that much because it's on all the signs to enter the cities...! I know I'm pathetic! Please don't hurt me! *cowers away behind the sign that proclaims a wasted education*

So, I decided to skip right past the rest of Berlin, Prague, Vienna and Munich! Right to Paris!

I'll back track later, I've just been feeling a lack of Ryokame love lately so I've decided to share a truly ~~mentally unhinged~~ magical moment with the rest of the class!

Ah, Paris!

Best thing that could ever happen to my Fangirly heart! And Dear Ana, if you are reading this, then you should know why, after all, you made this all possible! (Or you made me this sick... Take responsibility! I am a sick, sick woman! ^^)

SO! Friend and I get dumped somewhere in the middle of nowhere (which is actually in front of a perfectly decent but EXPENSIVE hostel) and left to fend for ourselves with nothing but a Parisian Metro map, and one of those really crappy tourist maps. In the late evening. When being in a foreign city seems even more daunting than usual. Nice.

So after begging and crying to random strangers on the street (who were actually the super helpful staff at the hideously EXPENSIVE hostel) we found out the hotel we wanted to be at was actually on the other corner of the city. Motherf*cker. Alas! Although it took my fingers a few steps to walk across the map it was uber-(tres?)far!

So we trecked to the nearest Metro stop to find our way! Now, I had been to a few cities before this, and had liked to think myself as quite the pro at reading maps, metro or otherwise, but after a glance at the stupid thing I knew I was screwed.

DARN YOU PARISIAN METRO! WHY DO YOU MAKE NO SENSE?!?!

I mean like what the Eff?!?! REALLY! It makes NO SENSE whatsoever! I swear it was purposely designed to be as incomprehensible as possible JUST to spite tourists! Can it BE any more complicated?!?! *grumble*

ANYWAYS! Not that that has anything to do with anything, just...*shakes fist at Parisian Metro System*

SO! I am about to reveal to the public that I truly am, the BIGGEST LOSER EVAAAAR!!!!! (And that Holy shit, do I ever take forever to get to the point, hey?!)

From where we were, we had to take the Metro for a couple stations and then switch lines to get to where we wanted to be. Guess which station we had to switch at?

REPUBLIQUE!!!!

O__________O Right? *shrieks* FREAK OUT!

Do you see?!? The very station that Ryokame allegedly ~~in a fanfic, which as everyone well knows, in a devoted *cough*deluded*cough* Fangirl's mind is practically a court report~~ stood!!! *shrieks some more*

How freakin' awesome is that?!?!

Never mind the fact that the Republique that I was briefly at, may or may not of been the same one where THEY had been at. Never mind that fact that I was annoying Friend with my insistence that we just HAD to go to the surface (while dragging a billion pounds of luggage behind us) to find the nearest Mcdonalds, sit at THE window seat, and then proceed to the nearest supermarket to buy a super-sized bottle of lube. Never mind that fact that when Friend finally managed to drag me away from the station onto our train I began to obsessively peer around the carriage in hopes of spotting Ryokame snogging against the walls...

...Never mind the fact that those events didn't actually happen in real life (that we KNOW of anyway!) and thus actively creeping the sites of a work of fantasy (as magically delicious as it is) is evidence that I should be committed....

Never mind all that! OMG! RYOKAME! I BELIEVE!!!!!! *deranged, demented giggling ensues*

FRICK! I was SO close! I mean I as good as walked in on THEM making out the street! HELL YEAH BABY!

...Wow, did I really just write that...? Ehehehe... Needless to say I got a little TOO happy on that stuffy train that first night...

*whispers* I believe...

Haha! Actually, after a while the Metro didn't seem TOO bad anymore! I mean the idea that there could be a possibility of stumbling upon Ryokame having a MOMENT in the Metro sure brightened things up! Even if it would only happen within the confines of my head...

...Now if only I had some bodice-ripping, Victorian-style Gay porn novel to occupy my thoughts (or feed my fantasies :P) while riding that darn Metro... Life would not have been able to get any better! *wink*

Until next time!!!!

Copenhagen and Berlin... Take One!

Wed, 24 Sep 2008 04:36:17 GMT

Wow, I'm really bad at this updating my journal thing! I have so much to say, but I'm so LAZY!

ANYWAYS!

So, as to move on (and who wants to hear about my travels anyway?!?) and have space to write about more recent things, I'll just summarize!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Copenhagen. Yup... Good ole' Copenhagen... What did I do there again? Darn you, crap memory! Hmmmmm.... I stayed for about 6 days, was supposed to be a full week, but my flight to London got delayed and I had to stay over night, but no worries! I had quite the good time, I went to the nearest lounge and got smashed while reading Tucker Max. Good times at the airport!

My goodness, that city is BEAUTIFUL! I fell straight in love with the cobblestoned walk ways and the gorgeous architecture! ...Although I must admit, as the days went by I was a little less fond of the freakin' gorgeous, but uneven pavement cuz we walked EVERYWHERE and turning your ankle when your piss drunk late at night is NO FUN!

I met up with my girlfriend that was studying there for the previous couple of weeks so it was good that she knew where everything was, but downside: everything to be done, she already did with her newfound life-long-bestest-friends/classmates so we didn't really do too much culture-wise. But we did hit several of the supposed best bars that they found! ^^

So between my constant states of intoxication and hungoverness; naps at the park and bread and cheeseing by the canal, I didn't really do too much. OH! But we did go to the Carlsberg beer tour! Can't believe I forgot that! It was so freakin' fun! I absolutely HEART beer tours! And of course the two free beers at the end didn't hurt! It was cool trying all these different beers, I had this really bitter, strong, big MAN beer! I actually felt the hairs sprouting on my chest and had the sudden urge to go chop wood! It was AWESOME! But of course to regain my femininity, I had a pretty pink beer to offset the effects! Yeah, that's right, PINK BEER!!! Copenhagen ROCKS MY SOCKS!

So after Copenhagen we went to Berlin! Leaving behind all my friend's ~~LOSER~~ friends. Thank God! Packing was an event into itself! My friend brought way, WAY too much stuff, and bought even more! GODDAMN! She needed a backpack, duffel, suitcase and MY suitcase to put her shit! *GROWL* I didn't have too room because my parents made me bring a bunch of random things to give to my uncle, who we were going to go see in Munich, and yes, I did drag an industrial sized container of Garlic Chili Hot Sauce for about two weeks until we made it to Munich! But Friend made me carry her shit too. And yes, I do resent being used as a pack mule for 5 weeks, thanks for asking! ^.^ Yeah, I could go on forever about Friend, never going on a one on one trip with her EVER AGAIN! Or I really would be forced to give into the worst of those homicidal urges that she brought out in me! ARGH! Just thinking about it makes me mad! Friend needs an entry all on her own, she was so unbelievable!!! Okay, deep breathes, think happy thoughts.... Needless to say, even nearly a month later, I'm still enjoying some 'alone time' away from her!

ANYWAYS! BERLIN!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!

I had SO MUCH fun in Germany!!! I just know I have to go back, I physically would not be able to hold myself back!

Funny thing! First night we got there, Friend was under the impression that the hostel we were staying at had gender segregated rooms, not that I would mind either way (but only cuz I'm a huge pervert and would love to crawl into bed with some cute boy! "Don't worry baby, this is how we do it in Canada! Cuddling after exchanging names when there are perfectly enough beds to go around is completely normal! And yes, that IS my hand. Don't be shy." *snigger*) but Friend was not as open to... new experiences...*cough* ANYWAY! When we got to our room there was only one person in it and they were sleeping head away from the door and face to pillow. Now this person has this head full of dark, unruly, curly hair and was wearing a white shirt and had a really TALL body. Friend having told me that it was only girls in there, I was thinking, 'holy, that chick has a strong body, if that hair was on a boy I would think it was really hot!' *sigh* Too bad! So we're putting our stuff away, and suddenly our roomie rolls over and I'm like 'holy hell! Stubble?!?! What the F?' Buhahaha! After I got over the shock that this dude was indeed a DUDE I found out that he was from Australia and OMG, SMOKIN HOT! Tall, lanky, messy messy curly, and an Australian accent!?!? And it was all she wrote!!! Made my heart skip a beat! Meanwhile Friend is still going postal while I'm all leaning against the bed attempting to twirl my short hair. It was hilarious! After Hot Aussie peaced out, to make Friend feel better we went down stairs to confirm that we were indeed in the right room (and if it wasn't I would make darn sure it would be so! Wasn't gonna give up eye candy like that without a fight! *leer*) and it was! HELL YEAH!

I'm making Friend sound like a prude who hates boys and that's really not the case, she was just surprised and tends to get panicky and squealy when the unexpected happens! Don't ask, I don't know why from all the people I could have done Europe with I got stuck with her. Not the ideal travel buddy let me tell you! But yeah, no worries, she recovered quite shorty after and was able to appreciate our good luck! Although she was a little affronted when I practically shoved her out of the way to get to sleep on the bunk above Hot Aussie... *thinking dirty thoughts*

We had gotten to Berlin really late so we only went out to eat and turned in kind of early. So we were the first ones to sleep out of our 6 person room. Hot Aussie came in an hour later but it was cool because sleeping with boys *giggle* is SO much better! All they do is strip and fall into bed, not like girls who have entire processes and routines to get through! So we're all sleeping or dozing or whatever, when the rest of our roommates come it a few hours later. One was a chick and she was quiet so good stuff, but the other two!! ARGH! They're both boys so it started out decent enough, strip, jump into bed, fall asleep. Simple right? But no! They snored like the dickens!!!! It was like a cross between a farm of dying hogs and a whole truckload of gravel getting crushed! I kid you not! Kill me now! And the noise bothered Hot Aussie so he was all twisting and turning, and it being a bunk I felt every movement. This continued on until like 7 in the morning, Ugly Snoring Guy for some reason stopped snoring and was in the middle of thanking every deity out there that looked after sweet Canadian girls who just wanted to sleep, when the construction outside began. O______________O SO NOT COOL!

(I swear, I'm getting somewhere with this story!)

Anyways! So whatever, our first night sucked but that did cause us to wake up early and get a lot done that day! Holy hell! Berlin is AMAZING! We weren't too sure about the metro systems yet so we decided to walk into the center of town to join some random tour. It looked like a short distance and the guy at the front desk said it would only take like 20 mins. HA! He has clearly never met us before, we somehow found the longest, most round-about route to the center of town EVER!!! It took us 2 hours!!! Looking at the map later it look like we walked around in a circle and slowly spiraled our way to the center, I have NO idea how that happened! CRAZY! I am MUCH better at reading maps by the way! But yeah, so we're super tired and we're totally looking forward to some easy tour on some bus but then when we got there it turned out it was a 4 hour WALKING TOUR!!! So of course being the masochists that we are we totally did it AND walked home (using the same inefficient route as earlier) afterwards! In total we walked for 8 hours!!! Never again! So of course we were super tired and decided not to go out that night, even though we met some really nice guys from Quebec and turned in early.

So when we got to our room, unlike the night before, everyone was in bed already, which made sense cuz the Ugly Snoring Guys came in really late before so were probably super tired! We didn't turn on the lights, just grabbed our stuff, cleaned up in the communal washroom and turned in for the night. We never stopped to wonder why no one was snoring that night, just grateful that we could sleep. Next morning, I woke up in heaven. Being on the top bunk gave me a great view, and what a view it was! Three, that's right, THREE half-naked really really HOT GUYS roaming around getting ready for the day!!! *drool* And there I was trying to discretely oogle them while trying to wrap my head around the notion that they went to sleep ugly and woke up freakin' BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Turns out the day before was the Ugly Snoring Guys (and Hot Aussie) last day in Berlin so they got replaced by three hot, half-naked boys from BARCELONA!!!! *eeeeeeeeeee* They were so cute and nice too!! Friend and I felt like we hit the jack pot! What a nice way to wake up! Them all Hot and (half)Naked and with their accents and broken English...*swoon*! I love Berlin! HAHAH!

I swear, I did more in Berlin than just check out the cute boys! But I'll have to out it in my next entry, this one is WAY long!!

PEACE!

Baby, I'm Home!

Sun, 14 Sep 2008 04:43:06 GMT

Feels like a dream, ahhhhhhh Europe! *mournful sigh*

Actually, I've been home for quite some time now! ^____^;;;;

I've been meaning to go on LJ and write about all my (or maybe lack of) adventures, but I've been SOOOOO busy!!! I've been working non stop and all the more grouchy and insufferable because of it! DARN YOU DEBT!!! YOU WILL LEAVE ME BE!!! Yeah, credit cards are horrible things... (aside: OMG, SO EMBARRASSING! A few days ago tried to buy my anatomy text book (aside #2: yes, I have managed to switch majors yet again, more on that later!) and my credit card got declined!!! I waited in line for twenty minutes, was late for my class, and all for NOTHING!!! And the worst thing was I tried to pay with my bank card, full aware that my balance is at the double digits, in no way, shape or form going to go through but did it anyway so as to try to recover from the embarrassment! Needless to say, it didn't work! OMG I'm so screwed! I can't even afford textbooks!)

*AHEM* So yeah, I'm completely in debt, have no money and am impatiently waiting for pay day so I can attempt to pay off my credit card and maybe, just maybe buy a textbook or too!

BUT! I've been DYING to write down all I've done and seen in case I forget! Not likely though! AMAZING!!!! Europe is so beautiful!!! I'm going to start saving up again and maybe I'll be lucky enough to go back next summer! (Hopefully alone! More on my travel-companion-from-the-depths-of-hell later!) Well, that is AFTER I pay off my debt!

Beautiful architecture, beautiful history, beautiful MEN!!!!

*incredibly inappropriate perverted giggling ensues*

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!! Oh yes, lots of beautiful men, and all ripe for the picking! MUHAHAHAHAH!

EUROPE I LOVE YOU!

Yup, there sure were a lot of hotties!!!

SOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Seeing as there is so much to describe, I've decided to dedicated an individual post to each city I've been to! But really it's because I talk too much! (ARGH! I can't wait to talk about Paris! I felt SO close to Ryokame it was almost tangible! *shivers*)

Maybe I'll start tomorrow!

BUT!!!! Before I do!!!! Holy crap! The strangest things happen at the most unexpected times!

I don't know about anyone else, but I've never met anyone in person I've known online before, it's a little odd and unsettleing and I can't help but feel a little... exposed...

Let me explain:

I've previously mentioned that at my work we ask clients for their email addresses to look them up, thus having come in contact with a "Real Live Miyavi Fangirl" in the past. Well today (...gosh, I feel like I may of already said too much, but I mean what are the chances that this individual will happen upon my LJ?!?!? IDK!! REASSURE ME!! *FREAK OUT*) I think I may have found someone else...

I FEEL LIKE THE BIGGEST CREEP EVER!!!!!!!!!!

Because I recognize THEIR email, but they have no idea who the hell I am!!! OMG! SO BIZARRE!!!!

And the freaky thing is that we totally share the same "interests" so if I ever tagged them, I would like KNOW them!!! *FREAK OUT SOME MORE*

The worst thing is that I totally creeped their profile first thing... and it DOES NOT SAY WHERE THEY ARE FROM!!! Now how am I supposed to reassure myself that I did not just cross some sacred barrier if I don't know where they are from?!?! Because I could be wrong!!! But now I'll never know!!!

I know, I'm a HUGE CREEP!!! I can't help myself!

Am I being dumb?

I'm just feeling really weird, because as easy it was to find them (accidentally or not), would it be just as easy to find me? Cuz I don't live in some big city, my city's quite tiny, so it would actually be ridiculously easy to find me if someone really wanted to... And as nice as it to have RL friends and people that you can talk to and "be myself" around, the anonymity of the internet, user names, LJ and all that in between is sometimes more... honest? I don't even know what I'm saying, just I'm a little (a lot) freaked and threatened and I really really feel like I've (inadvertently) crossed some line today.

So, sorry forever shall remain un-named user! My bad! I hope we never meet again!!! (Unless we mean to of course! ...But probably not, because now that I may or may not know you, I shall most likely avoid your online personality like the Plague! ...My loss of course!)

^_________________^;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Onward to Copenhagen! ...in the near future!

Sayonara! Until we meet again!

*deep breathes*

I know I'm forgetting something but I'm trying to convince myself that it's totally cool and whatever that illusive something is, I won't need it!

ANYWAYS!

Not gonna be here for about a month, traveling Europe you see! *huge manic grin*

The strange thing is that it's super exciting for me cuz I'm in good old Canada, so therefore, this whole idea of "Europe" is just so exhilarating! Like something crazy thrilling that's just begging to be explored! That, and because it's Europe, everything is just more awesome and the men are CLEARLY going to be more charming (I hope!) or is it just my silly heart romanticizing, because I've never been? I guess I'll find out!

But no, is this strange sense of wonder applicable to ALL foreign destinations? Or is it just exclusive to Europe? And for that matter how is this all seen from a European's point of view?

Any takers?

And if there is any a time when I show my country bumpkin tendencies... (I've been to big cites! REALLY! XDDDDDD)

In any case! I'll be gone and without my ever increasing doses of Fangirling over my favorite boys and much worse because of it!

BUT! I shall find comfort in knowing that when I return, there will be LOTS of fic updates waiting for me!

*sends a pointed look over cyber waves at my favorite writers (you know who you are)*

Much love! PEACE OUT! ^___________________^
