gorgeous day: reredefined

Firstly, to those of you who happened to catch my post from last night, thank you for reaching out. It was a terrible night made worse by academic/life burnout, but I'm really okay and usually quite the opposite of how I was when I wrote that entry. But regardless, I'm really grateful that I have people who take care of me, so again, thank you. ♥


Question: How is The Hunger Games different from Battle Royale? This isn't a diss or anything; I'm legitimately curious. It just seems like the overarching premise is the same (though the way they get there is different, I suppose). But I've heard such good things about The Hunger Games. Can someone explain how they're different?


And a meme that I didn't realize I would get tagged for (damn you, Ashley...):

( Five Things Meme )


We're at the end of the quarter here. I have to finish up some stuff, and then I'm at home for a couple of weeks, which'll be nice. I really, really need a break right now. Meanwhile, it's been quiet on my LJ, but I do still read your entries. :D I suppose I'll write up things on San Diego/Philadelphia/Oakland/San Diego at some point... one of these days.

Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.
Day Two: Nine things about yourself.
Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.
Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
Day Five: Six things you wish you’d never done.
Day Six: Five people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever).
Day Seven: Four turn offs.
Day Eight: Three turn ons.
Day Nine: Two images that describe your life right now, and why.
( Day Ten: One confession. )


Finals this week. Annotated bibliography due Wednesday, Classical Japanese exam on Thursday. Hrrrmmm. Also, how long has it been since I had a scheduled final, seriously? Haverford, you spoiled me.

RSVPed for a conference/workshop this weekend (Japanese Arts and Globalizations, for the UC schools) which seems like it'll be really interesting, but do I have time to go to everything? D: Just when I'm done with classes...

ohmatsumiya. Do iiiiit.

Each of them has a good deal of insipid "umm"ing into the microphone. I think you can see why I don't like to use the phone.

"Amagasa" for rockthecliche:




"1992*44##111" for wannatee_1984:

Awkward rambling about my "fashion" for honeypuffed:


That's all. (Inez's f-list: "Thank God.") I know my voice is soothing and wonderful to listen to, so if you want to request something else (Inez's f-list: "Nooooooo!!"), just holler.

1. It's been a while since I've done a meme, so here's that one that's going around (should have used protection).

FIRST: If you've been tagged, you must write your answers in your own LJ and replace any question that you dislike with a new, original question.

Favourite song right now
Typical, but "Monster" by Arashi would be it. I don't think you understand how much I like this song. It's my favorite since "Step and Go" or maybe even since "Happiness", and "Happiness" is my all-time favorite.

( Etc. )

SECOND: If you want to do it, do it. (It used to be "tag eight people", I think.)


2. Happy June!


3. I spent all day yesterday cleaning my room. Well, part one of three. I gutted my closet and my night stands and reorganized a bunch of my grade school/high school/college notebooks, trinkets, etc. I also have a giant trash bag filled with things that I don't need (because honestly, who's going to care that I got a 97 on a math test in sixth grade?). Now my stuff actually fits, and it's pretty wonderful.

Part two is my books (tonight). I had to get a second bookshelf for the ones I brought back from school, but hopefully they'll all fit somewhere. (But hey, don't be fooled by the rocks that I got. I'm the kind of person, unfortunately, who buys books but doesn't have time to read them, so I have all these unread books sitting on my bookshelf. Bookshelves.) Part three, scheduled for Wednesday night, is my clothes, which will include picking out clothes that don't fit me and giving them to a local charity.


4. Harrison (my new computer; that's what you get for being cheeky and telling me to name something after you) is hopefully going to be in today. More updates on that later, I'm sure.


5. Have a good day, everyone!


ETA: This entry makes me feel so materialistic. All I did was talk about things that I have or that I bought, or mention that I have to organize my giant collection of books or do such and such with my excess goods. It's like I'm bragging that I have things or buy things. I don't know. D:

Nabbed from Leigh!

Rules:
01. Anyone who looks at this entry has to post this meme and their current wallpaper at their LiveJournal.
02. Explain in five sentences why you're using that wallpaper!
03. Don't change your wallpaper before doing this! The point is to see what you had on!

( Guess who! )

And, because I felt like playing with my tablet, an artful and startlingly lifelike rendition of my boys in preference order (because it's clearly not obvious enough when I talk about them).

( Insert tablet fail here. )

Now. Gotta be productive today. D:

This is actually supposed to be for arashi_ratings, but I don't really do that kind of thing (nor am I any good at keeping up with rating people), so I'm answering here. Heh. Basically, it's a general info/Arashi survey. Looked like a fun survey, so here you go:


Name: Inez
