*__* I finished A Clash of Kings earlier today, while sitting in bed nursing my godawful stomachache/cramps. It frickin' leaves you hanging. I think I'll force myself out of bed tomorrow morning to go to volunteer work, no matter how sick I am, just so I can get the third book from the library. And get this: the fourth book is coming out in April! A Feast for Crows, it's called!

x__X ugh... I've had the same stomachache for three days now. Vinita asked me earlier why I didn't just take some anticids, and I remembered that we had some pepcids, so I chewed one. It doesn't seem to be helping though. I hope I'm not too sick to go to volunteer and regular work tomorrow...

Oh, yeah, my interview went ok. The alumna attended Cornell 50 years ago... so some of my question weren't answered, and we had absolutely nothing in common that would have broken the ice, but she did know about YPSO, since her husband was a member of the Kiwanis Club and they always sponser YPSO's June Pops concert. Other than that... *sigh* I think it could have been better. I didn't want to think about the interview at all throughout the day, so I rushed into it headlong. Anyway.
I'm drowning in my general unwellness. Every wave of nausea brings me that much lower. And my mom kissed me goodnight earlier, and left a cloud of overly-sweet-smelling lotion fumes around my head. The lotion she uses every night gives me a headache whenever I smell it. I wish I hadn't bought it for her. I wish I'd bought her something else.
And I want my CDs. Haven't they arrived yet? No, not the w-inds cd Ka-chan bought for me. I'm not so excited about that. That one's already arrived and as far as I'm concerned, Ka-chan can keep it for herself. I want my Arjuna CDs! *scowl* I want pretty music.
The User Illusion, as fascinating as it is, is killing my brain. I'm not even half way through it and the report is due tomorrow. It should be alright, though, because my teacher recognizes the difficulty of the book and told me that I only had to read half of it. Writing the report is a whole different story. I can see some of the connections it holds to anatomy/physiology, but I'm not sure how I can write about it.
We just finished watching "Pulp Fiction" in World Media class. In the words of my enthuisastic classmates, "HELLA tite!!" I loved the bit about the golden watch. "...worked this watch up his ass for five years... had this watch in my ass for two years." >D ha!

@__@ the transition from contact lenses to glasses makes the world spin around me, but I have to do it, because contact lenses become blurry if I wear it for too long. It’s not helping my head that I could get the lenses out earlier and spent quite a bit of time poking at my eyes.
I had The User Illusion with me today in Poetry class, and Kathryn started reading it. A while later, she handed the book back to me and told me her head hurt.

I've been dling from here a lot recently. Every time I scroll down the manga menu, I notice the title "Level E", and every time, I stare at it, trying to remember why the name was so familiar. I also couldn't help wondering if it was actually "Level C" and the administrators of the site just got the name wrong... -__-;; Today, I went again and stared some more, and finally I realized where I'd seen the title before.
Yoshihiro Togashi is the mangaka of two immensely popular series Yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter X Hunter. Although well-known, he hasn't done much else (lucky guy, both of his two only series are instant hits). However, he did do a short something sometime before he did HXH (possibly even before YYH, I have no clue to the actual date). It is rare, and almost unheard of, and incredibly hard to find. It was called "Level E". -_____-;;;; I hear it's not as good as YYH or HXH, but then again, I'm hardly expecting it to be. However, I DO like Yoshihiro Togashi's art style, so I'm looking forward to reading it.

There are at least two me's within me, possibly more, but defintely two me's that I have identified and accepted. One me is the one that my circumstances have shaped, that my history has molded. This me is the very serious me. This me is the one whose lips turn downwards at the corners, making me look perpetually unhappy (and what good reason to be unhappy). This me has no light in her eyes when faced with the world, only weary resignation. The other me is the one I was born with, the true me, one could allow to be said. That me is the reckless, passionate one, as utterly opposite of Circumstance Me as possible, seeing as Circumstance Me would think before acting. Twice. The Reckless Me would just go ahead and do it, and damn the consequences. Reckless Me is very temperamental, and outgoing and likes being with people, because she likes to have fun, and laughs hysterically at absolutely everything and anything. Serious Me smiles only when something is funny, prefers a book to surrounding herself with friends, and dreams of the day when she can retreat to a mountain somewhere and be a professional hermit. Serious Me is sad. Reckless Me is happy. There are so many differences, but there are many things in common. Both me's are happy with presented with flowers, butterflies, and crows (yes, crows - I'm not being morbid), dislikes celery, and raves about anything remotely inspirational.
I have no idea where I meant to go with all of that...

The User Illusion. The solution to some of the problems I've been having with myself recently (involving thoughts on whether I'm losing my mind or not) Frickin' wonderful book this is, I'm telling ya. And damn it packs some physics into it along with the bargain. But I'm still searching for the bits that have to do with anatomy/physiology, seeing as me reading this book was originally for some extra credit I might or might not be needing for Anatomy class. That is, I, in terms of the consciousness me, the superficial being that tosses much of the information my unconscious processes down the drain. Damn you, I. The unconscious me is undoubtedly smarter than I, and has indubitably planned the rest of my life already. *goes off to finish to book so as to be able to write a report on it by tomorrow*

Maxwell's demon tells us a teasing tale: The reason we have to work in order to obtain warmth in winter is because of our own inadequacies, not the universe's. Everything is descending into disorder and confusion for no other reason than that we are too big and clumsy to manipulate the individual components of matter. ... Maxwell's demon is laughing in our faces: The second law of thermodynamics can be circumvented, if we are clever enough. Only we aren't that clever. ... Because unless there is something wrong with Maxwell's concept of a demon, all that stands between us and perpetual motion is our own stupidity. Purely because mortals are not clever enough, we are condemned to earning our living by the sweat of our brow."
--excerpt from The User Illusion by Tor Norretranders, the preface of which states: Consciousness is the experience of experiencing, the knowledge of knowing, the sense of sensing.

I've discovered that I dislike Treasure Island/Yerba Buena. Intensely. I've never noticed it before, driving (or being driven) over the Bay Bridge, since we pass through it so quickly. Dad took me for a drive last night, and we stopped on Treasure Island for a bit. The entire time I was there, it felt like something was crawling over my skin, very unpleasant. The place is abandoned, surrround by an insanely large body of water (ok, so it's like a tiny creek compared to the Bay itself, or even the ocean, but still! We're talking hydrophobia here!) It's the perfect setting for a cheap horror flick. It didn't help that while we were driving around, the LoTR soundtrack was muttering EEE-VIILL!! EEE-VIILL!! I took that as a sign.

Why are people good? Why are people evil? What makes a person tick? Why do people think the thoughts that they do? Why do some people perceive differently from others? Why do people second-guess themselves? Why do I always second-guess myself? Are there little creatures sitting in our heads and make us question ourselves? I want to sit in somebody's head and poke around and see what actions I can provoke. Is there anyway I can reason like someone else, but still stay objective enough to see why I would do it? How does one live and still be an observer of one's self? I'd really love to see a human chain reaction...

After I posted my little message earlier, I realized I still had to finish the peer evaluation for Jean, and then Maryam called and told me that her peer evaluator bailed disappeared, so she doesn't know whether he did it or not. So I said ok, I'll do yours too. I managed to grind out their peer evaluations (ok, it wasn't THAT hard; once I got going it was piece of cake), and did a whole bunch of other random pieces of... er... stuff, for the colleges (like financial aid apps, graded paper, etc.), so, now, I'm finally done.

So one hour later, I crawl out of bed, feeling gritty and generally bad, since I couldn't get back to sleep after that, and discover that my mom was napping. Anyway, she wakes up, we go to Bay St., she drags me to Old Navy (i absolutely LoATHE Old Navy), then we go to Ann Taylor Loft and Express (x_x so expensive), then to Gap (me like Gap). We had lunch at California Pizza Kitchen, then browsed B&N aimlessly (and fruitlessly) for the graphic novel section, since ka-chan requested El-Hazard #3. Went to Borders, then, and got it there.

*swallows* ah, yes, so Wellesley and Dartmouth both use the same application service, applyweb.com or something. No wonder. It appears to have copied everything I put on my Wellesley application onto my Dartmouth application. Saves me some trouble, I guess. *secretly hates the confusion it brings*

I am totally chilled by what has just happened. I go to Dartmouth's website, quite sure that I have not yet signed up for their online application, and click the sign-on button. It tells me "drachan" is taken. I blink. Hard. So, out of a curiosity, I go and sign in as "drachan", and... there's my application. Or at least, it was SOMEBODY'S application. HOW?? WHY?? WHEN?? It's just like that time when I went to sign up for the Bryn Mawr online app, and I typed in my email, and it says somebody already took the account. I figured that one out, since Bryn Mawr used Embark, same as Cornell, for which I'd already started an online app, but THIS, does this mean Dartmouth and Wellesley use the same system?? What does this MEAN?? It's got so much of my info filled in already! Am I being stalked?? O__________o

Merry Christams!
Ah well, *sigh* lessee, yesterday, Christmas Eve, I sat up in bed, looked at the clock, nearly killed myself running out of my room, skidded into the living room (well, my room connects to the living room, so that's actually a rather short sprint, but that's besides the point), and asked my mom excitedly if she wanted to make the 12:00 matinee of LoTR. XD XD So off we went, to see LoTR. And ah, yes, Legolas the "wife". *cackle* He did act like the relieved wife to see his man home from war. When he handed Aragorn back the necklace Arwen gave him, it seemed like Legolas was handing him his immortality. And in the middle of my drooling session, my mother leans over and whispers in Chinese, "That boy is quite pretty", sending me into a full-fledged cackle right in the middle of the theater ^^;;
Anyway, after we saw LoTR (during which I had to prod my mom continuously for her to stay awake -___-;;), we stopped by B&N for a bit. I realized how under-appreciated Legolas was in the LoTR merchandise available. *sigh*
So, after B&N, came home, worked a bit on college essays, then got picked up by Mom's friends from church to go to a Chrismas party hosted by one of her church friends. It was pretty boring, even though I got to see Wei, my old violin teacher again. Food was kinda good, but I didn't feel like eating too much. Most of the time I just sat and read the book I brought. It was the first time I got bored reading a book. -__-;; So, yeah, I should have stayed home, but I wanted to make Mom happy, so I went. But, Ka-chan's mom called in the afternoon, before we left, and invited us over for Xmas day. XD XD XD yay~
We got home from the party at around midnight. Oh it was so bad. I could barely keep my eyes open. What was worse was that I remembered that I had to check Sherry's cats for her, so I slouched over, feed the cats, and slouched back. I ended the day with falling into the bed, going instantly to sleep.
*____* Oh it was such a nice sleep. I remember waking up around nine in the morning, taking a trip to the toilet, and feeling vaguely and sleepily disappointed (cos I didn't have any dreams >P), and then climbing back into bed, not to awake until a phone call from Ka-chan's mom, asking us why we weren't at their house yet. Had to go take care of the cats again, of course, and mom took a really long time leaving the house, so we didn't get to Ka-chan's house until around two-ish. It turns out they have a pingpong table now XD, and we played for a really long time, me, my mom, and Ka-chan's family. In the end it was just Ka-chan's dad and me, and he was giving me some tips on how to play (can you believe, it's only really the third or fourth time in my life that I've played?). When we finally emerged from the basement/garage, I was sweating quite profusely. Ka-chan's mom found a t-shirt for me to wear, one that Ka-chan apparently never wears herself. It's so soft *___* and Ka-chan said I could have it. ^______^ so, Ka-chan proceeds to wow me with loads of w-inds. merchandise, including a Keita photo album (*__* so pretty, the boy), and then we run back down to the basement to do stuff online. *cackle* the fairy tale from a few entries before was one of the things we did. I saw Vinita online briefly earlier, and managed to show the fairy tale to her. lol her reaction:
Chibi Miyu: ..................
Chibi Miyu: mother..........
KuroiTsubasaKei: *cackle*
KuroiTsubasaKei: yes, and you killed legolas
KuroiTsubasaKei: by clutching
Chibi Miyu: yes, i "killed" legolas. >DDD
KuroiTsubasaKei: oh yes
Chibi Miyu: i killed his elfhood! >D
KuroiTsubasaKei: *cackle*
KuroiTsubasaKei: legolas the wife
*cough* oh my stomach still hurts from laughing. That's alright, Orlando Bloom, even if no one appreciates you as an important part of the LoTR cast, officially, there are still fans who love you and are ready to, um, clutch you. XD XD There were a whole bunch of other quizzes we had fun taking, such as the "Which Awkward Gackt Moment Are You?" test, in which I got "Gackt and Masa doing dirty things together" (and which I didn't post up here -_-;;), and the um... heh, bishonen test, for which I got the oh-so-beloved resident baka. Then we came home. And I went to take care of the cats. Again.
So, yes, Merry Christmas.

FAIRY TALE
nce upon a time there was a young ARTIST named LEGOLAS. He was WOMANLY SHOOTING in the COLD forest when he met DRAG-QUEENISH RYUICHI, a run-away DOCTOR from the KIREI Queen VINITA.
LEGOLAS could see that DRAG-QUEENISH RYUICHI was hungry so he reached into his QUIVER and give him his FIERY RAW FISH. DRAG-QUEENISH RYUICHI was thankful for LEGOLAS's RAW FISH, so he told LEGOLAS a very GAY story about Queen VINITA's daughter KEIKO. How her mother, the KIREI Queen VINITA, kept her locked away in a TEMPLE protected by a gigantic KITSUNE, because KEIKO was so MYSTERIOUS.
LEGOLAS JUMPED. He vowed to DRAG-QUEENISH RYUICHI the DOCTOR that he would save the MYSTERIOUS KEIKO. He would ESCAPED the KITSUNE, and take KEIKO far away from her eveil mother, the KIREI Queen VINITA, and DREW her.
Then, all of the sudden, there was a ESOTERIC LIGHTNING and DRAG-QUEENISH RYUICHI the DOCTOR began to laugh. With a puff of smoke he turned into the gigantic KITSUNE from his story. KIREI Queen VINITA CLUTCHED out from behind a FAN and struck LEGOLAS dead. In the far off TEMPLE you could hear a WAAAAIIIIII~~.
THE END.

I think I'll hop off to bed soon. *checks time* yeah, it is kinda early for me, but I think it's cos I had work earlier today, and it wore me out. Also, I was working on a bit of college apps earlier, and that always kills my brain.
I just checked Pitas, and apparently "kurikara" still hasn't been registered as a name, even after more than .5 year, so I snatched it. ^-^ I don't know what I'm going to do with this third blog, probably make a decent layout for it and put random stuff up. I really don't know yet. A lot of people have fic blogs. Maybe I can turn it into that. But, wait, kuroitsubasa@pitas is sorta my fic blog, even though I almost never update it (seeing as I haven't worked on my stories for a long time) ack, I really don't know. I can't seem to think straight anymore.

I signed onto comicer.com, and <3 *gasp* they have the entire Petshop of Horrors series! I began dling vol. 10, and now I almost wish I hadn't. For one, Chris regains his voice and can no longer see the inhabitants of the pet shop in their human forms. ;___; *bawls heart out* Chris leaves the petshop!!! The beginning of the end! *sobs* and Count D is back to the way he was before he met Leon. It's like everything influence that made Count D more human has been erased (that's reflected through one of the dragon princess's deep slumber). Once it ends, it ends, no matter what the fandom does to it. *depressed* "end", one of my least favorite words. I mean, "death" is ok, but "end"... it's so final. "mortality" too.

So, after babbling about LoTR-TTT last night, I pawed through FF.net for L/A fics. ^O^ Legolas is so ukelicious in those stories. So, I go to bed around 2:30, and wake at 12 (and miss the matinee for LoTR-TTT at the UA in Berkeley). Mom and I go see "Two Week's Notice" at Oaks Theatre, which sucked majorly, and was not totally enjoyable (if you took away Hugh Grant and maybe Sandra Bullock). I'd say, don't see it unless you're a huge fan of either celebrities. Frankly, Hugh Grant's character, who's absolutely adorable, is the only thing that made the movie worth its bucks. Well, I guess I'm not being fair. I like Sandra Bullock too, but, eh. No wonder none of the theaters in Berkeley showed it. Through the entire movie, I was thinking about LoTR. So, heh, I think I'll go see it again tomorrow. XD XD *cheers at the general goodness of slash* *cries at size of wallet*

Random Thoughts: Legolas and his physics-defying backward flip onto that horse!-- that earned applause from the audience *doki doki*
Saturday, December 21, 2002, 12:16 a.m.
Heeeeeeeeeiiiii~ The Two Towers is so gooood! XD XD I can't wait to go see it again. The movie started with a breathtaking shot of a snow-covered mountain range bathed in a rosy dawn light, and the camera glides around it, and you can hear echoes of shouts (which became clear as Gandalf's voice). The camera zooms in on the side of the mountain, and rushes inside to see Gandalf battling the Balrog. :3 that was a great battle scene, reshot to focus more on Gandalf (heh, I started laughing when he fell faster than his sword that he'd dropped and he caught it in midair to continue battling the Balrog). After that it looked as if Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli ran nonstop for a couple of days. *sigh* Legolas' surefootedness is impressive, but in the movie he was always one step behind Aragorn. And that backwards gravity-defying, physics-defying flip from under the horse's neck onto the horse was just- well, ok, it was kinda silly-looking, ^^;;; but it earned a hella lot of applause from the audience (including me), even though it was shot as part of the background, not the focal point. And his shield-sliding + arrow-shooting combo received a lot of screams and whistles and applause from the audience as well. And his words to Aragorn when Aragorn caught up at Helm's Deep, "You're late" in Elvish (with a strange smile on his face XD), and then, "You look terrible." in English (or Middle-Earth, if you prefer...) I absolutely <3 <3 <3 the battle scenes in the movie. Never let it be said that I'm a champion of peace. =P I love fighting too much. Of the minor characters, I especially like Eomer (god his face looks something fey!), and when Gandalf brought Eomer back with reinforcements *doki doki* *sigh* that was one of my favorite scenes in the movie, when the riders pour down the side of the hill like that, and Gandalf's horse seemed to strike sparks upon the sunlight filtering from behind them. Another of my favorites was when Haldir showed up with an army of Elfs. <3 <3 <3 I like Haldir from the first movie, but I'm pissed that he got killed off so fast. But... Elfs... archery... shooting arrows... *massive droolage* (btw, man, Craig Parker looks good in blonde) And Viggo Mortensen. Man, I literally sat through the entire movie waiting for that one scene from the trailer when he pushes those double doors open... *more droolage* and Orlando Bloom got so much action in this movie!~ I mean, shooting arrows right and left, and I'm pretty sure that at one point I saw him pulling out twin swords, ah, correction, twin Elfan daggers... *drool* Anyway, it felt like the entire second movie was centered on Legolas and Aragorn. and oh yeah, Gimli. And the endless previews. Oh I love previews. SO much! No, I'm not being sarcastic. I genuinely like previews. I actually get quite upset when someone rents a video and fastforwards through the previews. So, yeah, I loved the previews, and realized that Ian McKellan (<3 <3) played Magneto in X-Men. O_o how did I not realize this before? I'm really quite blind when it comes to actors and makeup... and hairstyles and costumes and charater... oh yes, I see the resemblance now. And speaking of this, Christopher Lee (Saruman) did Count Dooku for Star Wars?? O__o Man, I really am blind. But, looking down the list of roles Christopher Lee has filled, I see... *pause* *rubs eyes* *looks again* well, I appear to be hallucinating. My eyes are telling me that he played DEATH in "Soul Music", "Wyrd Sisters", and "Welcome to Discworld", which are obviously related to Terry Pratchett's Discworld series (whose DEATH I love to death).... and if my eyes are not playing tricks on me, then that must mean that there are Discworld movies in existance (aha, logic!)... there are Discworld movies in existance...in existance...existance......... THERE ARE DISCOWORLD MOVIES IN EXISTANCE!!!! DISCWORLD MOVIES EXIST!!! I MUST GO FIND!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Hugo Weaving was in "Pricilla"??? Agent Smith and Elrond was in "Pricilla"??? O_______O
Oh yes, did I mention that the entire LoTR second movie was just so so so so obviously gay? XD XD XD XD I love it to pieces. And there were only three major women in it, so far: Arwen, Galadriel, and Eowyn. Galadriel appeared only briefly, and Arwen and Eowyn fall for the same guy, so, hm, let's do the math, shall we? One guy down, a couple hundred more to go. And the male characters just keep on coming, what with Eomar, Theodedn, and Faramir (who actually does bear resemblance to Boromir, only looking cuter, and more merciless >___>)

Let me make this clear now, before I hop into the shower (then go buy Eugene's xmas present and then meet up with friends for dinner and LoTR movie to herald the beginning of Winter Break). Having shotakon suddenly popping into my head in the middle of a calculus test and flaunting itself gleefully at my nekkid innocent inner child does NOT, I repeat, does NOT bode well for my grade. *attempts to gag and cackle simultaneously* *groans at overload of fridge-boy and bundle-'a-joy-aka-fanged-sex-drive-as-dubbed-by-certain-fanficcers* It's so...reminiscent of Clamp. >_> *thinks of Yasha/Ashura, Rika/Terada-sensei, et al.* -_____-;;

<3 <3 <3 Ch. 140 is out nya~ *bounce bounce* Hikaru no Go NEEDS to be made into a tv series. I don't mean anime, I mean a real series, with real actors and such. It'd be the best show ever (cos frankly anime versions of a series usually lacks something).
Ok, something really weird happened in math class yesterday. We (my group) were doing the warm-up, and Ian had the paper, I had my hand over it, cos I was explaining something. And then he... leaned over and bumped his face againt my hand. >_0 Man, the speed with which I snatched back my hand was supersonic. I had to fight the urge to run to the bathroom and wash my hand. And then, Harris, being still mentally an elementary school kid, accused Ian of kissing my hand, then proceeded to reinact the whole thing, in slow motion. *gag* And he added some tongue... >____> Ian said he leaned over to smell my hand (wtf? smell my hand?? WHY??). I'm almost glad I don't remember which part of his face touched my hand. Gives me goosebumps just to think about it. Thank god we're switching groups when we come back from break. I can finally get Ian outta my hair. *goes off to scrub hands with lye*

Something I forgot to mention earlier, was that yesterday was very windy. VERY windy indeed. When I was walking home from volunteer work, the wind felt like thousands of hand pushing at me and running through my hair. And it was cold, refreshing wind, but not the bone-biting kind that makes your nostrils want to commit suicide. The strange thing was, I was still really really hot when I got home.
;_____; i was just thinking ahead (a rare thing), I mean, really thinking ahead, and I realized that after Winter Break there's going to be about 2 weeks more of the semester... and then finals. >.< Now usually this wouldn't be so bad, seeing as I'm not worried about most of my classes, but... >______> then there's that bane of my existance called Calculus... there are no words to describe the dread I feel at the thought of a calculus final. It's like all the nightmares of the things we've learned so far compressed into one big fat screaming bleeding horror, and no, I DON'T care if the final is made up of past tests. I'm still gonna fail. ARGGHHH!!
