Though I was asked to be a private Japanese tutor, so I’m probably gonna have less free time. Oh well, extra untaxed money is pretty nice. :)

I was at school for 12 hours today. God, how frikkin painful is that? I went to see a counselor today about graduation and he said that I can’t graduate until I complete either another studio arts class or a liberal arts class to fulfill the Associates Degree requirements and since I have no room whatsoever to add another class, I’ll have to take it in the summer or something. It’s not a big deal since I don’t care to attend the graduation ceremony for COM, just a dumb hassle. But then afterwards, I thought about it and realized, “I don’t necessarily need an AA to graduate…” And I’d like to never take a class at COM again, if possible. Since it’s my last semester at this godforsaken school, I just want to be done with it.

I wasn’t completely surprised when my counselor said that I’m one of the very few people who stay on track and only stay at COM for 2 years, but it was sad to hear. So sad.

I have a crazy load of homework on Mondays and Wednesdays so that I can turn it in on Tuesday and Thursday. I’m hating it. Which reminds me, I need to put in all the art supplies I forgot to add in my art bag for Color Theory.

The weather lately has been horrible. So cold and constantly raining. Goddamnit.

I have a feeling I’m leading a guy on, but I do these things unintentionally and I’m pretty stupid when it comes to things like this… Uhhhh, Jesus, what am I supposed to do?

Four MCs and One DJ

Taxes, FAFSA, applications, transcripts, homework, classes, work, bills, and art.

I’m not liking this.

WELL, anyway, work was okay today. It’s slow on rainy days. So Fred said that he gets that neither of us wants to leave early because it’s extra easy money, but it’s not easy when the restaurant is down on profits. He wouldn’t mind so much if we were doing something productive, but there isn’t much to do. We tried to think of something, but it was honestly not productive to try and think of something productive. So we organized the mini-drawer, the shelves, and the sake display case, but still ended up with a lot of extra time, so Melissa left early. I wanted to stay later for a couple of reasons. Perhaps tomorrow, I will go home early and do homework or something.

I was actually planning to do homework tonight, but laziness got the best of me and I watched Man vs. Wild, House, Venture Brothers, and Family Guy instead. Damnit.

So now it’s almost 4AM and I have things to do tomorrow like pay my cell phone bills, send off my transcript, and maybe go to Borders to finally find something that I want to buy with my gift cards. Oh, and go to work.

What homework do I have to do… I have to do art homework which is to: make word associations with colors, make a monochromatic collage, make a collage of the colors I like, terms definitions, and buy art supplies for class. And then I have Statistics homework. And uh… Yeah, I think that’s it for this weekend. Woo… It’s a small load.

I hope it doesn’t flood.

Stay By My Side

友達だけでもいい。ただあなたのこと忘れたくない。それで私のことを忘れないでほしい。好きだけど言えない。

Emo mood.

Ugh, I want to write serious shit, but I really should go to bed. I have class.

Sing It With Me!

Karaoke karaoke karaoke~

An addiction that I’ll never break.

Damn man, Simpson is such a pro singer. Korean guys… They’re just so talented. It’s unfair. XD

I noticed that I haven’t updated much and felt that I should. Except I don’t really have anything to say. School is starting tomorrow… I’m not ready and I really don’t want to go back. I’ve never hated school as much as I do now. My last semester at COM and I can’t fuck it up… *Sigh*

Well, um. Yeah, shit, I ran out of things to say. What do I feel like doing tomorrow… I don’t know. I should draw, but I have a feeling that I’m going to end up watching TV or play video games. I think I should draw and watch TV. I seem to concentrate better when I’m drawing and watching TV as opposed to drawing in my room on my desk because then I’m tempted to go on the internet and being on the internet requires actual attention.

Ame no hi ni wa nurete
Hareta hi ni wa kawaite
Samui hi ni wa furuete sore wa atarimae darou…

I think that’s how the song goes… I need to practice singing fast Japanese songs. I can read it, but my mouth doesn’t move as fast as I can read it. D:

Love Birds

Alright people, if you’re going to a restaurant fairly late at night with your significant other or whatever, DON’T FUCKING SIT AROUND FOR HOURS WHILE PEOPLE ARE WAITING FOR YOU TO PAY AND LEAVE. Jesus Christ, fine, come into the restaurant 5 minutes before we close, as long as you order something before we close and pay within a reasonable time span, we won’t hate you. Ugh, some stupid couple came in and wouldn’t frikkin leave for such a long time. If they just paid for their food and then hung out with their ridiculous sexual innuendos, fine, whatever, be grotesque and immature all you want. But no, they didn’t think about how the cleaning crew around them sweeping, the restaurant empty, or the server pacing around as signs that they should pay and leave. Dear Lord. Actually, if you’re coming into a restaurant as a couple, don’t come right before closing.

Yeah, sorry, I was angry.

Anyway, school is starting on Tuesday. : ( Damnit. And my co-worker is going to leave for Austria for like 3 weeks. Fuckin damnit. Why couldn’t she do that over the break when I actually had time to spare? Great, those three weeks are gonna be complete hell. Oh well, nothing I can do about that now.

Tomorrow, there are plans to karaoke, again. XD Yes! I’m excited.

Otherwise, I don’t have much to say. Um. I think my priorities are going all over the place. Cuz now that I’d rather work than go to school, I’m fine with missing some classes to cover my co-worker’s shift. Before, I’d be like, “Noooo, I absolutely CANNOT.” Now I’m like, “YES, a good excuse to not go to class!!” Tsk tsk, shame on me.

Hmmm… Should I become a waitress? I’m having trouble deciding on this. It will mean more money, but a lot more work. But then again, I’ve been helping Otto-niichan and Akemi-san at the counter, which is the most hectic out of them all. But there tends to be a lot of server drama.

Man, I was planning to get some art done this winter break, but I still have a large pile of unfinished stuff.

Don’t Need…

I have the perfect idea for a self portrait for the UCLA portfolio! Now, I have to actually make the damn thing and then write a stupid essay… Ugh, misery. I already wrote two essays and artists shouldn’t have to write an essay about themselves in an art program. ISN’T THAT WHAT THE PORTFOLIO IS FOR?! Jesus fucking Christ, I hate applications.

Well, work today wasn’t as bad as I had feared! I hate working Wednesdays because I have to work by myself with Fred and Fred’s in a bad mood most of the time. But today, he was in an okay mood and it wasn’t busy and I didn’t make one mistake! :D Hahaha, finally. And Robin Williams came to the restaurant today!! That was so COOL. XD I know I get way too excited over celebrities, but seriously, how many people in the world can say they helped serve Robin Williams at a restaurant? Not a lot of people. Joe and I wanted to take a picture, but Fred wouldn’t let us. :( Damn. But I did take a picture of Robin Williams’ signature on his check! XD That’ll have to do. Tips were only decent, but that’s okay.

…SHIT. That reminds me, I forgot to get my paycheck. Reminder to self, PICK UP THE FUCKING PAYCHECK THIS TIME.

Dude, I’m looking forward to karaoke over at… 99 Ranch… I think that’s where this other karaoke place is. *_* It’s actually designed like a real karaoke place! They have more Rip Slyme and other awesome songs! AND HIRAI KEN’S POP STAR! I’m SO hyped. I’m definitely bringing a camera and will take videos… Though I am a little afraid of it finding its way to YouTube… Hopefully, that won’t happen otherwise, I will be forever embarrassed. Or you know, inducted in the internet hall of fame. But that’s doubtful.

Yatagarasu… Oh, how awesome you are… :)

Alright, I better sleep. I can’t seem to sleep any earlier than 4 or 5 AM these days. That’s really bad.

Btw, who reads this thing anyway?

Me wa Namida

YATAGARASU CAME! *_*

(Btw, Yatagarasu is the name of my 80 gig Zune 2)

Yeeeeeees! And then FINALLY, the mug I made for my dad for Christmas arrived. If you plan to customize a gift with a photo through Walgreens, prepare to wait for 3-4 weeks.

Ahahaha, Yatagarasu is so cool… The design on the back and haiku turned out so awesome! It’s great. I’m still having a little trouble figuring out the controls, but WHATEVER, I love Yatagarasu… And Kaishin has a new friend! :) They’re best buddies. XD (Wtf, they’re just electronics…)

However, to get it to work in my car, I think I’m gonna need a new music interface. And to do all that installation and crap, it’s gonna cost me at least $130. Damnit. I think I’m gonna go do that tomorrow.

I’m working on my portfolio still… I’m editing Burmese Harp and it’s quite a bitch cuz I’m trying to make the canvas size 1024×768. Ahhhh, motherland. :( It’s turning out pretty cool though.

DONE! Finished Burmese Harp. And finished Steve Irwin too. I am pretty happy with how The Burmese Harp turned out! :)

You can use it as a wallpaper, but don’t use it for any other purposes. Or else.

Yeeeeeah, okay, bed time, Jesus.

Check it OUT

Crazy Asian.

The weather has been insane. I’m so glad that the power didn’t/hasn’t go/gone out. This neighborhood especially has bad luck with electricity.

And otherwise, I don’t really have anything else to say.

Outer Comfort

MAN, I’m so grateful that it was Mike managing today instead of Fred. Phew… It got really insane at some points that it was really difficult to handle. I don’t even want to start thinking of what it would be like if it was Fred that was there today…

I’m happy that Rip Slyme released a new album! :D I wonder if Radwimps are still releasing songs… Ahaha, I love Rip Slyme. Just listening to the intro song fills me with overwhelming joy. It’s SO funky and I LOVE IT. Damn, I can never get tired of them.

Which reminds me, I finally got around to buying the Zune 2. If my mom is going to give me (partial) money for it, might as well buy it. Cuz if she sees me without it, she’ll be like, “Wtf happened to the money I gave you…” But that’s cool, I got the limited offer for the original Zune with this cool bird pattern and a Basho haiku inscription. I’ve already picked out a name for my Zune. Either Yoarashi or Yatagarasu or Yogarasu. Since it has a bird pattern and it’s black, it would make sense for Yatagarasu or Yogarasu. But Yoarashi flows so well. Yatagarasu has a lot of “a”s, but it’s a mythical three-legged crow which is the bird of the sun goddess Amaterasu, which is a pretty damn cool history. Yogarasu means night crow and that’s pretty tight and may fit better than Yatagarasu since the Zune is black. I think I’ll go with Yoarashi or Yogarasu. Kaishin’s gonna have a buddy. :)

I can’t wait until it arrives!

Man, I can get that dude out of my mind. It’s really driving me crazy. I wish I could tell him how I feel. But circumstances suck shit and I can’t, even if I had the confidence. So, all I can do is just try my best to not think about him, but fail horribly because he’s all I can think about when trying not to. In Japan, they say that the dream of the first night of the new year will foretell how the rest of the year will go for you. And if that is true, then maybe I stand a bit of a chance for some luck with this guy. But dreams are dreams, not reality. Oh how I wish it would come true. Onegai, douka watashi no negai wa kanaeru you ni shite kudasai…

Alright, I’m gonna go sleep since it’s 4AM.
