It's called Michigan.

And if you didn't know, I was up there for a whole week.

So, I'm gonna start my mass upload of new shit.

=]

Look forward to quite a few carnival pictures, lake pictures, lighthouses, water stuff, and more drawings!

And maybe even a blog to recap everything once I get to writing that out.

So yeah.

I didn't die, I just went on a long vacation.

Oh, and if you didn't know about this either..

I'll be on less (I think) for the next two weeks.
I have Freshman week this upcoming week and Full Band Week the week following. So I definately won't be online from like, 8:30 AM to about 12:30 PM.

The week after that though, I won't be on all week, I'll be over at ETSU for another funfilled week of overnight band camp.

Yay?

So yeah.

Look for some new stuff! <3

[x] Aru [x]

A few more updates..
And I'll go through stuff left over from the last journal sorta kinda.

1. Flag practice.

It's been going well, I think I've gotten worse since tryouts though. Uhm..
I learned that I could kill myself doing a helicopter toss the right way.. (I think I need to invest in a helmet..)
And I can't do toasters for my life..
But they're so fun and addicting. o_o;
But uh.. yeah.


2. Naruto Movie

Well, I couldn't go to that with Saki, we found out the night before it was sold out..
So I like, ended up spending the night at Neko's dad's house, since we had a COY meeting the next day..
We went out downtown and went to this really nice resturant called "Cafe Mozart". It sold German food.. so I just ordered bratworst cuz I actually knew what it was.. and OMG IT WAS SO GOOD. ..And so was the desert.. It had strawberries, ice cream, and rasberry sauce over it all, warmed up and omg.. it was to die for. It was really pretty looking too.
Uhm.. so yeah..
And then at the COY meeting, I got elected as Assistant Secretary, so I'm an official member and I'm Neko's helper.. Woohoo?
I guess it'll look good on my resume.. or my application for college, if I go. ._.


In other completely worthless news that's happened in the last week....

3. Anime

I've completed a few different animes in the last few weeks. I finished Ouran High School Host Club.. Boy was that a good anime. o.o I really liked it. And I finished the Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi, that was good too. I finished Loveless before school ended, so yeah.. Right now I plan on finishing the first season of Higurashi no naku koro ni.. Since Kazu's kinda making me. XD


4. Malleh Date.. again.

Travis and I went to the mall on a date again. XD We went to go see the movie "Surf's Up". It was really funny.. especially since I mean.. they WERE surfing penguins..
And I got to play DDR afterwards, but it was kinda weird, cuz our "emo" group wasn't there. I'm used to it being so packed no one can get inside or that you have to wait at least an hour for a game, but no.. It was mostly empty for the most part, and the DDR machine hardly being used..
I got to see Saki too, and how she dyed her hair black. She could totally pull off an Orochimaru cosplay, if she could get one. XD


5. Amanda's 18th B-Day Partah

I went to my friend's birthday party last night, omg it was so funny. XD We played DDR, listened to music, watched stupid videos on the internet, ate a shitload of food, played games.. and ran around with balloons and glowsticks. XD It was awesome!
And it was really funny cuz at the end we were all like "OMG EVERYONE GET TOGETHER, IT'S MYSPACE WHORE TIME!" XD Omg.. It was great. Especially since I got to see a lot of my friends that graduated this year. - dies. - So I won't get to see them that much anymore.. - whine. -
But yeah, I had a good time. ^^


6. Drawing

Last night I was drawing that Orochimaru and Kimimaro picture for Saki catching my kiriban, and like.. when I was looking through my colored pencil box, I found one of those bugs with the pinchers on their head crawling around.
OMG I FREAKED OUT OMG
I dropped everything on the floor, my webcam fell to the ground (it was on my lap, so that Saki could watch me draw cuz we were bored), and like, I started beating it with a shoe.
Now, if you didn't know I DO NOT LIKE BUGS OMG THEY SCARE THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF ME OMG. So yeah.
And like, it kept crawling under the pencils and wouldn't die, so I just closed my box, latched it, and shook it around.
I killed it.. XD
Man, am I creative or what? XDDDD


SO yeah.. I probably forgot other stuff that's happened, but that's okay cuz I think I've wrote plenty.

I plan on doing another kiriban soon, since I've got so much free time.

Oh, and by the way, I'm leaving for Michigan in 2 weeks with Tsuki, so that's bound to be fun.
I'll need stuff to do, since my lazy ass is going to be stuck at a campground for the most part. XD
So yeaaaaaaaaaah.

I'll talk to j00 guys latar~
Look for upcoming notices on kiriban numbers and shit.
(Oh, and Kazu, I'm still trying to get motivated to finish your CG. It's sitting in my documents. XD)

Ja ne~
[x] Aru [x] (Stole the precious thing. )

..About time for a new DA journal that isn't like.. little and worthless.. Heh. xD;
That, and I need to find something that doensn't deal with too much internet surfing.. as I'm downloading a pretty new anime with lots of yaoi in it. ^____^


Well, first offs, I've finally decided that I'ma do another kiriban, and the number this time'll be 3333. Cuz I love doing things with like.. all the same number. I know, I'm weird.
Usual stuff applies, as always.
Whoever gets it, gets what they want, as long as I agree to it. XD
Hopefully this time SOMEONE will get it.. AND TELL ME.
Unlike the last like, 2.

So yeah,
3333! Catch it! Or else I'll kick your fuckin' ass.
=]

Uhm.... In other news..

I got my first kiss on Tuesday..
I went to my boyfriend's house for dinner.
He fixed Mahi Mahi (it means dolphin in Hawaii, but it's not dolphin meat, it's from the dolphin FISH, which I had NO CLUE even existed.. but it was good.. and I'm not even a fish eater.) with macadamia nuts and bread crumbs on top.. white rice, and salad.. and made koolaid. We were supposed to have virgin strawberry daquiries... but he didn't have the stuff to make 'em.
Uh.. We talked a lot during dinner, and sat on the pretty balcony of his house, overlooking a pool and some woods. And afterwards, we went to the little park in his subdivision. It's a really cute park.. It's got a pool (with a stereo system, I might add), a beach volleyball part, a tennis court with basketball hoops, and then a small man-made lake.. (I'd consider it a pond) with a track around it. We walked, hand and hand along the track (which is actually a 1/3 of a mile long, so that's how big the lake is, if you were wondering). We saw some ducks and their little ducklings.. and I got a picture of it.. (which I also put on here.. so you can go look at it.)
After we got done walking, we went back to his house, where he made me some strawberry shortcake for dessert. <3
We sat downstairs in his theatre (quite litterally.. reclining leather seats, with a projection screen TV) and watched Family guy while we ate it.
He pecked me the first time on the forehead.. which I thought was really cute..
Then when his dad went to take me home, we got in the car and I kissed him on the cheek.
When I got home, Travis hugged me and we exchanged our goodbyes, and I got a kiss on the cheek.
Hehe. I feel so spoiled. o.o;

Uh.. Yeah.
Sorry for all the mooshy spill. XD;
- cleans up the leftovers. -
Uhhh...

My parents and I went to Gatlinburg and stuff yesterday...
We went to Cades Cove (the wilderness part of the Smokey Mountains) and drove around the loop so I could take some pictures of the old rustic cabins and stuff for this photo contest I wanna enter.
It was nice just to hear the birds and stuff in the background, and to see all the deer..
And we found a bear too, and it was so funny cuz everyone stopped their cars (it's a one laned road that you can only go 20 mph on, so it's really slow), and got out with their binoculars and cameras.. Omg. It was hilarious.
But it kinda all started sucking when it started to rain.
It started pouring, but I kept the van door open still, to take pictures, and we found some deer REALLY close to the road.. I got some pictures of 'em. They're really pretty...
And after it all, we went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse in Sevierville.. mmm.. I love me some chicken fingers.
I ate so much I woke up in the night last night sick, just so you know. XD

Uhm.. other than that...

I start flag court practice on Wednesday, yay..
And I might go see the Naruto movie with Saki that night.
Or with Travis, if his parents agree to take us, rofl.
On Thursday, I have to go to a meeting with Neko for the committee thing.. Grr. The things I do to support my friends and end up getting sucked into everything that they do. XD;

And Tsuki's finally gonna come back the 26th, so I'm really happy about that.
Even though it's like, 4 days before we leave for MI. XD
But she's coming with us, so I get to be close to her for a whoooooole week. ^___^ <3

Uh.. Yeah.
I think I've come up with enough..

Remember my new kiriban:

3333! Catch it!™

Catcha later.
