I’M SO EEMS

30 06 2006

I normally do not look at the photography section of DeviantArt because, personally, I don’t really like photography as much as other forms of art.

It’s because you’re taking already created things and just taking a picture of it with a camera. Everything’s automated and made for you.

But this… This photograph is the best photo I’ve seen in a long time.

And the comments are hilarious too.

Ooh, another survey.

Go to Wikipedia. In the Search box, type your birth month and day (but not year). List three events that happened on your birthday. List two important birthdays, two interesting deaths, and two intriguing holiday or observance. Post this in your journal.

April 29th

Three events:
1945 - World War II: The German Army in Italy unconditionally surrenders to the Allies.
1967 - After refusing induction into the United States Army the day before (citing religious reasons), Muhammad Ali is stripped of his boxing title.
1992 - 1992 Los Angeles riots: Riots in Los Angeles, California, follow the acquittal of police officers charged with excessive force in the beating of Rodney King. Over the next three days 54 people are killed and hundreds of buildings are destroyed.

Two birthdays (but I’m including more because I’m amazed!):
1901 - Hirohito, Emperor of Japan (d. 1989)
1954 - Jerry Seinfeld, American comedian
1967 - Master P, American rapper, composer, actor, athlete, and sports agent
1970 - Andre Agassi, American tennis player
1970 - Uma Thurman, American actress
1988 - Younha, Korean pop singer (Whoa, she’s 18?!)

Two deaths:
1933 - Constantine P. Cavafy, Greek poet (b. 1863)
1980 - Alfred Hitchcock, English film director (b. 1899)

Two holidays:
Japan (public holiday since 1927, traditionally the start of the Golden Week holiday period.)
The Emperor’s Birthday (1927-1988. Holiday of Emperor Hirohito’s birthday until his death in 1989).
Greenery Day
(1989-2006).
Shōwa Day
(2007 - Day of Showa period, which is reigned by Emperor Hirohito)
International Dance Day.

Whoooooa, I don’t know why I’m so thrilled about making an online Japanese friend, but I am! :D I’m such a weirdo, I know, but yaaaaay! I think it’s cuz I tried making friends with people on 2chan, but it didn’t work so well because everyone was kinda hostile and wouldn’t believe that I was an American. D: I’m even going to translate and post the conversation because I’m that excited.

Oranje: Hello… Again
Kana: Yes, hello~
Kana: We wrote our email addresses on the PaintChat and I don’t want random viewers to sabotage it, so I’m gonna flood the chatbox
Oranje: Oh, right
Kana: Ooh, there
Oranje: That was quick
Kana: And that should be good
Kana: Hahaha XD
Oranje: XD
Kana: Oops, I messed up (She accidently closed the PaintChat)
Oranje: What?
Oranje: Oh, weird
Kana: What was the name of that PaintChat again?
Oranje: I don’t know. My friend just gave me the URL
Kana: Oh, there we go
Oranje: Let’s see… A good picture, where are you…
Kana: A good picture (icon of Mario) XD
Oranje: XD
Oranje: *Sends her the CocaCola picture*
Oranje: Okay, your turn, Luv-san (that was her username on the PaintChat)
Kana: You were a girl all this time!!!!???
Oranje: Can I call you Luv-san?
Oranje: Eh? I already said I’m a girl
Kana: I thought you were a guy before I saw your picture XD
Oranje: *Laughing hysterically*
Kana: Yeah, you can call me Luv-san XD
Kana: I’ll show you my picture on my icon!
Oranje: Okay
Kana: There
Oranje: Whoa! You’re really pretty!
Kana: Thanks!
Kana: Coca Cola shirt XD
Kana: What a fun shirt!
Oranje: Yeah, you don’t see a lot of shirts in Japanese, so I was like, “I gotta buy this!!”
Kana: Ahahaha *Puts up a picture of her and her ferret*
Oranje: Awww, cute!
Oranje: What kind of animal is that?
Kana: It’s a ferret!
Oranje: Ooh, just as I thought
Oranje: It’s so adorable!
Kana: Yeah, he’s really cute!
Oranje: I just have goldfishes
Oranje: I wish I had a cat, though
Kana: I also have a dog *Puts up a picture of her dog*
Oranje: (>w<) Looks just like Lassie!
Kana: Yep yep
Oranje: So cute!
Oranje: Is it hot in Japan? (The icon said something about it being hot)
Kana: It’s really hot!
Kana: 30 degrees Celsius! (86 degrees Fahrenheit)
Oranje: Whoa, that is really hot
Kana: How about America?
Oranje: Yeah, like Japan, it’s really hot, but it’s not humid
Kana: Ooh, America doesn’t have (kanji that I couldn’t read)
Oranje: What?
Kana: I meant Tsuyu (the extremely hot and rainy season)
Oranje: Ooh
Kana: The season of humidity
Oranje: Tsuyu is really rough
Kana: Yep yep
Oranje: It’s all humid and feels really gross
Kana: Yeah
Kana: You feel all sticky
Oranje: Yeah
Oranje: Plus the sweat-rash. I hate that the most
Kana: Yep yep
Kana: I gotta go out soon, so I’ll talk to you later!
Oranje: Yeah, I should go to bed soon
Kana: If you’d like, we should talk again later
Kana: Yep yep
Oranje: Yeah, it was fun!
Kana: Thanks! Goodnight
Oranje: Talk to you later!

*____* Wow, she’s so nice. I wonder if the girl in the icon really is her. Cuz she’s really really really pretty. (Envy~) Personality seemed just like a girl. And her art was really awesome. (More envy~)

I really hope she doesn’t end up becoming some kind of gross otaku guy… D: That’d really fucking suck.

I’m starting to get sleepy… ~_~

17 days until I leave for Japan!!

*___* I just start bouncing around the house whenever I think how close it is. And then start browsing through all of my pictures from Japan… And the videos… And blog entries… And then I’m choking up because I miss Japan so much.

I know I’m extremely fortunate to have the chance to go to Japan every summer. But that’s probably the reason why I miss it so much. I go there all the time, I get somewhat accustomed to it, but not enough to get bored of it. My whole family lives over there and my family’s actually pretty awesome. I’ve thought about it for a long time whether I want to live in Japan someday and I’m pretty sure I want to. Not for the rest of my life, but for a couple years, if possible. There’s a lot of things that would discourage me from going, like how everyone is so similar, you can’t openly express your opinion, it’s ridiculously expensive, society is harsh, really crazy laws (like you have to get your car inspected once every two years and if it doesn’t pass, it gets trashed and you gotta pay to get it trashed), strict structure, my Japanese kinda sucks, and etc. But oh well, at least I’m aware of it and I know how it works.

日本に行きたい!

My whole life, I thought that I have two homes; one here in California and one back in Japan.

日本に帰りたい!

“WANT A SODA?” Pt. 2

28 06 2006

Yesterday, Lacy invited me to go eat out at Crepevine and then go to her pool for some swimming.

Woo! First swimming of the season.

At Crepevine, I was the only one who ordered a crepe. Which was kinda odd, but the sandwiches looked good too, so it wasn’t really that odd. I ordered a carrot juice because Max paid me a quarter to get it. Well, Lacy gave me the money, but Max gave Lacy a bunch of quarters, so essentially, Max gave me the money. Hahaha, I miss Max. He’s so hilarious and spontaneous. And apparently, he misses me too. :( Awww. It was… Betty, Levi, Lacy, Max, and I. Somehow, we got into talking about American Idol and how it sucks (Lacy loves it, though) and then it went into William Hung and how he’s the biggest loser of the world and then something about China, being communist will appreciate William Hung and will become his best friend because he’s rich and became that way because he sucks at life. It became a very very very heated argument between Betty and Levi and Max and Lacy chipped in a few times. I… Just ate my crepe. Because frankly, I hate American Idol enough to not care about it and William Hung is an idiot and not worth my time to talk about. Whilst Betty and Levi argued, Max was like, “I feel this anger is not actually towards William Hung. I have a feeling that it’s more like… Betty wants a house. But Levi doesn’t have a job. So therefore, cannot become filthy rich.” I would say that sounds accurate.

And then, supposedly, Lacy banned me and Max from talking about technology or anything related to technology. D:

We drove towards Lacy’s house and on the way, Max tells me he saw Ben the other day. OH MAH GOD, BEN! So I demanded his cell phone number, but Max was not sure if he had the right number and I was not sure if the number I had was a current one. So I called both. The one Max gave me was obviously wrong because the voice mail was of a girl’s voice. The one I had was also wrong because it sounded like some old white guy. So we both failed. The old white guy person called me back and was like, “Did you call?” “Uhh, yeah, but I was given this number for someone and I think it’s the wrong number.” “Oh, who are you trying to call?” “A guy named Ben?” “Oh. *Hangs up*” “…” Yeah. Max texted Neal (the ballerina, haha) because Neal would know. But he just said, “He’s gone for a week so you won’t reach him.” He should’ve just given us Ben’s number…

Then we went over to Lacy’s to get the keys to her pool, but her mom had the keys to the pool, who was not home, so we just went to the pool without the key. Then we picked up Danielle cuz she finally came home and was concerned about us having problems with her unshaven legs. But no one really cared, so she just came along and squished into the car. We got to the pool and we couldn’t get in, duh, so Lacy was telling Max to jump the fence. He looks up and says, “Look, barbed wire. Hahahaha, no.” XD Yeah, that barbed wire was pretty gnarly. Lacy’s mom called and then came by to drop off the keys. :D Yay Beth! So then I went to get changed and Danielle came with me. Being the pervert and weirdo that she is, she was gonna watch me change. -_-;; But she didn’t and we went swimming! It was kinda weird cuz it was like 9:30PM.

Lacy and Max joined us too. Max wouldn’t go underwater, so we chased him around to try and drag him underwater, but that didn’t work so well. He said something like he was trained in the arts of throwing women. But his powers only work in water and not on land, or something like that. But it was true. Everytime we tried to push him underwater, he just picked us up and threw us. D: Goddamn men.

Then we competed for Lacy friend points. Most of the questions revolved around camp which I don’t really pay attention to because Lacy talking about camp… Well, yeah. Then Max was giving out regular points which was mostly won through, “Whoever ignores Lacy first” whenever she was giving a Lacy friend point quiz. I got something like 580 regular points. I got like… 8 Lacy friend points. Betty wins the Lacy friend points cuz she answered the, “You know who can’t float?” question.

Betty and Levi didn’t swim. The rest of us just swam around, mostly talking about points. Then it was like 10:30, so we got changed. Danielle peeped into Lacy’s stall. Lots of screaming and yelling ensued. I was glad I got the stall at the end. Lacy and Danielle cannot spell, “Pervert” very well. (And who is that referring to, I wonder…)

Then we went home.

THE END.

OH, I finished reading Jurassic Park yesterday. :D Woo! That was an awesome book. And pretty easy to read too. Michael Crichton is awesome. And now, I want to watch the movie.
THE END.

26 06 2006

Dinner was awesome. Rice, grilled aji (Horse Mackeral), baked potatoes, salad, and takana. I love takana.

Dad and I were talking about Japan and he gave me some instructions for the things he wants me to bring back. And then we talked about otsukemono (pickled vegetables) and how he’s gonna tell obaa-chan (grandma) to have a different kind of otsukemono for dinner everyday so I can write a report on the different kinds/brands of otsukemono… And then post it on the internet… I just kinda looked at him funny and called him a weirdo. Then he told me there’s a famous otsukemono store in Totsuka and he’s like, “That’s all I need. Otsukemono and rice. I can have that everyday…” I, again, looked at him weirdly. But the truth is… I could live like that too…

Whoooa, Robyn’s Blurty… I haven’t looked at that thing in forever. All of my friends used to blog. But now, no one blogs. :( It makes me sad. For those of you who do blog, thank you. You keep me from getting bored.

Hmmm… I had something to say…

20 days until I leave for Japan!

That’s not what I wanted to say, though.

Haha, talking to Robyn is fun. We’re criticizing guys and how they’re weird. “i get bored too easily and have wayyyyy too many guys at my disposal right now” Ahahahaha, she’s such a playa.

Damnit, what was it that I wanted to say?

I can’t remember, so here’s a picture of Diggy-MO’.

*Drools again* Agh… What’s with me and Japanese hip hop dudes? Ever since I saw the music video for Magenta Magenta, I thought Diggy was hot. And so funky because he was rapping in Japanese and English and it was actually good.

For some reason, he reminds me of 50 cent. But Diggy’s not scary looking and he’s hot.

*Sigh* I’m such a loser.

I still like Ryo better, but Diggy’s close behind.

But Kubo Tite’s still number one. OH!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KUBO TITE! He’s 29 years old now. But I don’t care. I’d still marry him. :D Tanjoubi omedetou, Noriaki Kubo-sensei!

And this concludes today’s entry.

Miyamori Ryo

Low vox

Kachoii~! \(>w<)/ Maji de Ryo wa Orange Range no ichiban dayo!

Mite yo sono kaminoke… Soshite sono kimono!

Zettai concert mi ni iku.

Sore dakede…
Sore dakede…

Uwa, koe wo kiite… Kandou suru… Sugosugiru. Hontou ni otokoppoi yo.

Okay okay, I'm sorry, I've had a very Orange Range day and then I was looking for pictures of Orange Range and ran into this image. *Drools* Guh… Ryo…
I love Orange Range. I saw the PV for Walk On today and …Kandou shita. I really love Orange Range because their songs aren't just generic songs about love and life. They actually have deep meanings to them. Or at least I think they do. (Shut up, I know you're all thinking I'm just a crazy OR fan.)

Anyway, I had 2 hours of sleep last night. I just couldn't really sleep. I tried a couple times, but my mind was filled with thoughts. I was supposed to try and nap for a bit, but… I didn't get around to it and it's too hot to sleep. I (literally) stared at my MySpace for like half an hour and got so bored of my layout, that I went and searched on CreateBlog.com and tried to find a good layout so I could steal the code and make into my own creation. I found a couple good ones, but they were way too complicated and I lost myself in stupid CSS/Styles (gaaahhh, I hate that crap). So I found a simple one, made new pictures on Photoshop and voila! My MySpace is all… Orange Range-y. XD

I got so excited about my layout, I totally forgot to sleep… And eat. *Scratches head* Woops.

I've been reading my entries from Japan last year too. Like, over and over again… 21 more days until I leave for Japan! *_* Woo! I can't wait. I want shinkansens, jidouhanbaiki, sashimi, Shonen Jump, Orange Range, manga, and karaoke!

I'll miss all of my homies, though. ;_; I'll email you guys…

Music: Orange Range - Nettai Night 





Summer Sunrise

25 06 2006

I stayed up all night.

I don't even know why I did. *Scratches head*

I put up my entries from Japan. Those are the only entries I can recover from the old diary-x at the moment.

Summer Vacation in Japan 2005

Go check it out! :D Don't mind the last few entries… I wrote them just now. XD

Wow, I like sunrises too… They're refreshing and pretty too. I'm just never awake for sunrises…
