Suddenly, and very unexpectedly, I feel ready to go back to campus. Maybe it's because everyone is back, and the best time for me to hang out with them would be right about now. I still need to practice piano at home, because I have a feeling I won't get anywhere once I'm on campus (for some reason, I just can't get into this song =\). Young sent me an SMS (text message, no?). I don't have some kind of text messaging plan, so all of the messages I've received, wishing me a merry Christmas and the whatnot add too much to the cost of the monthly cell phone bill. It's still less than paying $4 for some texting plan. >_<
That aside, I feel really happy that people do say that. :D I feel like some Furby that needs more love. LOL... (speaking of which, I want to buy one of those lovely mascot Haro's). Oh Young! We never got a chance to hang out. T_T And here, I said we'd hang out before school started during summer break... x___x Same goes for Brian. His only ride back up North, so he spends the next 2 weeks of break snowboarding. Fail. >_>;
Okay, so sometime soon!
Stats:
3 people texted me this break.
1 person called me. (Another one called and texted).
I went out with friends 3 times. (1 high school friend; 2 junior high friends that also came over to my house for a bit; family friends)
4-5 relatively consistent AIM conversations over break
3 not-in-reply-to-something Facebook wall posts
1 We're-going-to-hang-out-before-he-goes-b
Insert 1 let's-hang-out but I guess something came up, which is okay
And a few other IMs every once in a while that I haven't logged
I love you guys :D;
Oh, I have yet to stay out past curfew or buy any 18+ manga/doujinshi. ;_; I guess winning $7.25 at the slots is the only thing I've accomplished from my list of what-I-can-do-now-that-I'm-18.
Onto manga:
These are all pretty short one-shots, but they're great as pick-me-ups... especially when you're bored and you don't want to start another 100+ chapter series. ._.
1. Shuukatsu Kimi ni Naitei (I think that if you enjoyed Nodame, you'll really enjoy this series)
2. Kimi wa Girlfriend (Pretty bishounen and a very likable female protagonist)
3. Bloody Kiss (Vampire love story?)
4. Kimi to Scandal (Idol and his number one fan?)
5. Tonari no Hijiri-kun (Cute, heartwarming short stories)
6. Manga Mitaina Koishitai! & Zoku Manga Mitaina Koishitai! (Adorable manga-ka and the coolest guy in school)
7. Hidarite no Love Letter (Very unique scenario and cute love story)
8. Angel Koiuta (inside Glittering X-mas Story 2003)
8. Tenjou no Kajitsu
9. Love Luck

Dakedo Happy Paradise - I'm kind of surprised that manga serialized in the same magazine (or at least by the same publishing company) can be that similar. o_O Dakedo Happy Paradise reminds me so much of Fruits Basket. :o
About Me
Some people know me as Mi-kitty or Sa-chan. I'm a 17 18-year-old college freshman, aspiring to obtain a degree in electrical engineering (I haven't actually declared my major yet) at a certain Institute of Technology. Unlike your typical American teenager, I don’t have a driver’s license. Therefore, I am a n00b, but I like to consider myself at least somewhat 1337. You might say I’m a perfectionist, and while I might display a few symptoms of OCD, I have never been able to maintain a clean room for longer than a week. Most often, the floor is covered so thoroughly in books, papers, and other junk that I have difficulty walking around.
Sometimes, I think of myself as a computer hermit. If I’m not at school or out of town, I’m usually sitting in front of my computer chatting, coding, reading manga, or watching Youtube videos. To someone who doesn’t know me (or doesn’t know my Internet persona), I appear to be quiet and shy. However, I also love to rant and ramble about the most random of things, so try not to catch me in one of my rants if you don’t like to be bothered. I use this journal to post my feelings about fandom, classes, and the more than occasional personal issues with which I find myself. My entries are mostly public, but if you would like to friend me, please comment.
Yes, well, I’m just your average obsessive fangirl. I love collecting a wide variety of things, from trading cards, coins, stamps, and minerals to autographs, ticket stubs, and other memorabilia. I’m a Livejournal addict, but I absolutely detest MySpace (and I’ve grown out of Facebook somewhat as well). I think science and technology are two very fascinating fields. Physics and chemistry have always been my favorite high school classes, and I hope to take some astronomy classes in college. In high school, I participated in FIRST Robotics. I think the experience is life changing. I like to code (mostly for my websites, but I’ve dabbled in a few other programming languages), and I like to make graphics.
Although I’m quite sports-challenged, that has not prevented me from obsessing about tennis and the greatness that is Roger Federer. I also like music. Besides your typical Asian pop (Wang Lee Hom, Guang Liang, TVXQ, and JE groups like Takki & Tsubasa and Ya-Ya-yah come to mind), I also enjoy listening to pre-contemporary music. My favorite composers are Rachmaninoff, Liszt, Debussy, Bach, and Chopin. This is probably because I’ve been playing the piano since I was 5. I sing, and I love Broadway musicals and classic American films (think Roman Holiday and Fred Astaire). I grew up watching old sitcoms.
In terms of fandom, I’ve been obsessed with Asian dramas lately. I start watching a series at night and finish at dawn. My favorites include Last Christmas, Nodame Cantabile, My Lovely Sam Soon, and Huan Zhu Ge Ge. I think Lee Junki is gorgeous. The first anime I watched was Sailor Moon (or Speed Racer), and ever since, I’ve been interested in Asian culture (Yes, I’m Asian). I visited Japan for the first time this year, and I hope to be back soon! I like milk tea boba (bubble tea) more than the average American likes coffee. I also like soup, but I’m open to soups from different cuisines.
Although I can’t say I’m an avid reader, I do like to read books that portray strong female characters. I loved Nancy Drew as a child. Pride and Prejudice, To Kill a Mockingbird, and a particular biography of Audrey Hepburn are among my current favorites. I like reading autobiographies and even the occasional history book, when they’re written well, of course. In middle school, I spent hours at a time reading books from the Dear America series. I typically enjoy mystery novels, fantasy stories (once upon a time, I fell in love with Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time), and romance comedies the most, although my taste is more varied when it comes to manga (I like reading josei, shounen, and shoujo manga with a hint of shounen-ai).
I used to love watching Madeline, and I still enjoy watching the occasional Sabrina reruns. However, lately, I’ve become addicted to reality TV shows.
All in all, I'm pretty old school, I think hanging out with guys and playing Smash Brothers and Legend of Zelda (if only I had a Playstation, so I could play Final Fantasy!) is fun, and if all else fails, I think I’ll find a job as a tea taster or a sushi chef.
