School's nearly in!

hello my fellow otaku people!

i can't believe summer's almost over!!

My school starts next wendsday... and it's gonna be crazy trying to juggle my schedule this year!! i can't believe i'm already a SOPHMORE!! wow... i'm getting old... :(:(

::sigh:: cross country starts back up again btu i actually have a lotta motivation this year!! there's this guy named charles, he's a total heartthrob, and he's on the team this year!! i've known him since first grade, but after 5th grade, he started going ot public school.

Charles= honor's student+ good at sports + good artist!!! it's almost too perfect!! here's the only let down...

HE SPEAKS TO NO ONE BUT HIS FRIENDS!!!! i can understand that it's hard to socialize with people sometimes, but it doesn't mean you have to say nothing at all ro anyone else!!! ::sob, sniffle::

well... anyways, there's this other guy i like too... i don't know if he likes me that way but he's a great friend! two new pictures are on the way! keep your eyes out for them!!

kay, kay! have an awesome day!!

otaku- on!!

tootles!

Absent No more!!

hi everyone!

not that my absence disturbed anyone, but I'll be uploading some of my really old artwork throughout the rest of the week. Also, I'm going to the beach next week and will be gone for a few days!! Nothing much new is happening except for the fact that it's so incerdibly hard to wake up at sixy thirty every (week day) morning to go out and run with my cross country team! You can't just imagine, I woke up too late this morning after I had told the coach I'd be there!! Of course, I hadn't planned on watching Tuck Everlasting last night.. oh. my god. that movie is so sad!! I had a dream about it last night and woke up crying! (after that did i realize that i had woken up too late to run! lol!)
ok, that aside, have you ever had like really good luck for about two weeks, and then got really awful luck? that's what sort of been happening... I started to realize that I've been loosing things...

my french advance II workbook and my colored pencils... well i found my colored pencils! (yay!) but my french book is still lost and i need it to turn in or else i'll get a big fat ugly zero as my first french grade! most of the work in it is done already, so i've gotta find it! only problem is i tore my room a part again this morning but there's no trace of it anywhere...

next weird thing that happened took place on Sunday;

The last note from the automatic organ ended magestically fading. The Choral instructor began playing a concerto by some old dead guy, the people in the church all began to clear out and so did the choir. I heaved a sigh, thank you god it's over. (it's sort of hard to fall asleep in church when you're the one everyone can see. Just kidding!) I walked over to the place where my family sits in the church, my mom gave me a hug and I grinned. My dad patted me on the head.
"I heard you singing today!" He smiled. "LA!!!" I flinched. Let's just say that my dad's singing voice sounds like a walrus giving birth. Not a pretty sound. Ouch. My mom rolls her eyes and walks ahead of me, all of the sudden, out of nowhere, comes the guy I had a crush in in the 7th and 8th grade who also went out with my best friend eventhough he knew I liked him. My sister Ellen looked back at me for a second as my other sister Diane was too busy rumaging around in her purse to notice the guy who had just stepped in front of me blocking my path.
"Hi." He said looking slightly nervous.
"Oh! Hey Ethan, what's up?" I said smiling, I was very confused by now.
"Not much. You?"
"Much of the same, I'm going to the beach next week!" Yadda yadda yadda. It goes on like this for a while until I say,
"Did you have something to do before I kind of stopped you?"
"Oh, no actually, I wanted ot get your cell number. I got a new phone and I sorta lost all my contacts."
"Sure thing!" I said and gave it to him. I'm still deeply confused and then to my relief comes Ethan's mom. "Your mom's behind you." I whisper to him. He blinks and turns around.
"Hi mom." He said turning slightly red.
"Oh! Ryuri! we saw you today! Good job!" His mom smiles giving me a hug. That's one of the nice things about being a choir singer at church. People compliment your singing even though your terrible at it! Yadda yadda, until finally, "Ethan, have you talked to Duncan about playing in the church band?"
"Not yet." he says casting a look at me.
"Alright then!" I smiled, "Hey, I've gotta go!" Then I leave and Ethan goes about his buisness. You can imagine my dad goes ape on me asking me about Ethan.
"I think he likes you." Mom said when we got to the van.
"I'm over him, mom." I sighed.
"That is so ironic." Ellen says grinning. I roll my eyes.
"I know."

and that is my pathetic love life. haha. hilarious. :P has anything like that happened to you guys? I'm stuck on what to do. I just don't know at all anymore. I already like someone else so what do i do if Ethan ends up liking me? take this into mind.

I have never had a boyfriend and i'm 15. that's gotta be impressive.

Summer is here!

Mood: happy

I just watched the movie memoirs of a geisha

Q: Are they prostitues?
A: Absolutely not. Geishas are skilled in dance and music and the art of conversation. the word geisha means artist in japanese. Their job is to entertain guests (men) by charming them with conversation and playing music and dancing.

well anyways!! i'm babysitting my sisters again and it is soooo annoying!! i have to do it every week day for the entire summer! at least i'm getting paid! (and that i have books to read because there are those spontaneous quiet moments when you can get a chapter or two of a good book to keep you from going crazy!!)

Questions:

1. if you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
2. what manga would you like to be made into an anime?
3. if you were trapped on a deserted island, what anime character would you choose to take with you and why?
4. Have you ever read any of Arina Tanemura's mangas or seen her anime's? if so, which manga/anime was it and did you like it or not?
5. what is the worst dream you've ever had?
6. the most awesome? (referring to question 5)

I hope you all have a wonderful day!! chao!
