Hello, everyone!

You have reached the rambling, the fangirling, and the general chill-pad of theOtaku's NightBeck, a.k.a Becky, a.k.a Crimson Lotus the Irish Ninja.

... okay, maybe not the last one. But people will be calling me that one day.

This is your place to chill, talk about life and fandom, and be generally crazy. So go on. Play nice, be good to each other, don't make me hurt you.

My favorite series: Princess Tutu, Ookiku Furikabutte, Mushishi, xxxHOLiC, Monster, Black Lagoon, Ergo Proxy, Escaflowne, and Baccano!

My writing: Cafe Cliche

I will never speak English again.

So this weekend, I had an essay and five chapters of kanji homework to finish for tomorrow. I started working around noon today with a significant portion of that essay done.

It is 2:15 in the morning, and I just finished everything.

Incidentally, this kanji homework is supposed to prepare us for a quiz on the same kanji tomorrow, but since I just spent the entire day running everything through the electronic dictionary, I don't really have the energy left to study for this quiz. This seems somewhat counterproductive.

... so basically, I really need to do my kanji homework little by little throughout the week if I ever intend to have weekend plans ever again. I don't care if Sekino-sensei doesn't e-mail us the exact requirements until the last minute, I will just do it the way we did this week and if she changes her mind she can suck it. ;;

I am not doing any of this homework tomorrow, though. Tomorrow I have a four and a half hour block of classes and after that I intend to write, dammit.

As if any of us were the least bit normal, anyway.

This is my second day of classes, and things have been going down already. I have listened to an ex-hippie-turned-professor ramble about how he used to be a communist and love Stalin ("but that was then, of course!") and burst into Italian, I've m...

I'm back!

Sorry for the radio silence! My laptop's hard drive died.

What did I miss?

Why hello there, 5:30AM.

-- and the worst part is, my flight isn't even until 11:05, but to get there by 9:00 or so I really do need to be up this early. Oh, Nerima, I will not miss the fact that you are insanely far away from everything.

Anyways! Time to tuck away the last of my stuff and get going. Had an unusually good night with my host family last night, in which they made some of my favorite foods and then we went to see some gorgeous fireworks, so I can leave without feeling bitter towards them. I'm pretty certain they will not have another student after me, since they clearly don't have the time or interest anymore, so hopefully they got <i>something</i> out of having me here, too.

I'll miss you, Japan! But I'll be back soon. &hearts; In the meantime I am going home to sleep.

I will see you all when I am conscious! Have an awesome weekend in the meantime. &hearts;

*resurfaces briefly*

According to those handy birthday notifications, it's a double-birthday today! Otanjoubi omedetou, TimeChaser and WaywardWarrior! I hope you two have a fabulous day. Or... rather... HAD, because it's nighttime in the U.S right now? Oh, International Date Line.
