oh, life. D:

gosh.

i don't know what to do with my life

why is spring always like this??

at least it's spring where I start feeling like "change is good", i guess, as opposed to winter where I am like "nooo, not changing anything until spring! just do what you have to and the rest of the time hide in bed" lol.

but. it's unnerving, I hate being 27 and still having no life plan. (and no, it's not for lack of soul searching, ok? :P i am the over-thinking "find yourself" type of person, which is what makes it extra irritating for me. I have other issues that rule out a lot of possibilities)

**
Another question I can't figure out: since I can't afford to go back to Japan yet but can afford to take a smaller trip (and I tend to think that getting away from my surroundings and forcing myself into a new place is sometimes is good for me), do I take the boring and responsible "i might regret missing it later" route and stay home this summer and save more money, or do i go to LA in May to see SS501? LOL ^^;;;;;;;;; I bought tickets for the Korean Music Festival....

I'm not too worried about the investment on the tickets, I can resell them and they'd be the cheapest part of the trip anyway, but airfare and travel is of course the part I need to decide about reserving or not. I figure I can do the whole trip for around 1000, which isn't using all my travel fund a but... I'd rather stay longer than 2 nights, because I'd rather make a "trip" out of it rather than just going for what amounts to a tiny portion of a very long concert (though I'd enjoy the rest of it too of course, it's just not my #1 motivation for going :P). But staying would mean staying at a hostel (which I would probably have to do anyway if I went alone) but at the same time I am nervous about the idea of staying at a hostel in LA. I'm having a hard time convincing myself to go because I have all these not-great stereotypes in my head about LA and I'm not sure whate else is there that would interest me on a low budget. but... it's SS501! It's certainly not like I'm ever going to see them in Korea! Even if I ever went to Korea there are many reasons why I'd rather see them in Japan or the US as opposed to Korea :P (and I wouldn't schedule a Japan trip around them either, because Japan trip gets planned for Kanjani8 :P) I mean, it's expensive to go to LA but it's still way cheaper than going anywhere overseas.

(P.S. I HAVE 2 TICKETS, DOES ANYONE WANT TO GO WITH ME AND CONVINCE ME TO GO? ;D *points up*)

otherwise, where else do I go this summer, and will I regret not going to this? I CAN'T DECIDE~~ DDD:

**
On the other hand I'm thinking of going back to University part time and I don't know how much that will cost... I don't think that should be too much of an issue since I'm only planning to take one course at a time now, and will only be starting in September if I go back, but it is something I need to think about this month! because my school's enrollment date is May 1st. I assume if I only take one course per term I'd probably be able to pay for it myself if my Dad decides I'm too old for him to pay for it. I've been out of school for a full year now, but I have 18 months to re-enroll at the U i was at, I think. But of the two Universities in town, the only courses I *really* want to take are only at the OTHER University, the one that I didn't get accepted into last time and probably still wouldn't accept me... and the schools will allow you to take transfer credits but I'm not sure if you can do it for part time... Part time has a lot of restrictions. So i dunno.

Anyway, I'm worried about it all but since it's Friday night, all I can do is plan to go see the guidance office at school on my next free weekday. I guess I shouldn't worry too much.

At least I was a good girl tonight and went for a half hour walk when I was feeling "bored" (bored = tired and avoiding doing anything). Good for me! :P I need to do that more. Even though I come home and sit right back in front of the computer but whatever. Exercising once a day will have good effects. I've been going to dance class the past 2 thursdays, now that my other thursday workshops ended and I still have thursdays off... It's good for me and I will keep going but it's amazing how bad my memory is for such things. god. partially it's just n00bish sucking at remembering choreography 10 minutes after you learned it, but i think partially its my ADD-ish-ness. I'm assuming (hoping!) that eventually it'll improve with practice, because choreo memory is something I've always been terrible at and wanted to get better at ^^;;

Japan trip... official post-trip report/post/thing Part 1!

Here's that "real" post about my trip to Japan this summer that I was talking about earlier. Part 1, anyway :)

Okay, so... I'm not sure how to begin, so I'll just go in the order of my photos and write stuff about them.

Some (much shorter) posts I've already made cover most of the first weekend, and the Miyavi concert (see links @ bottom), so I won't really bother with that TOO much here, except for a couple of photos I skipped... So, starting from there, here's the first half of my trip! This part all takes place in Nagoya. This covers up until I left for Osaka for the Kanjani8 concert, which is a very good place to leave off. :D But if you find this super-boring please don't judge the upcoming parts, I think the other parts get more interesting ;D.


just a warning, this post is PHOTO HEAVY ^^;; but it shouldn't be a problem unless you have dialup I guess. I just put all the "first half" stuff together because it's rather random and there's no real convenient place to cut it off until Osaka.

Anyway, this post took forever, so I hope someone reads it! :)

Ryokou no hanashi o mimasen ka?
(won't you look at this story of my trip? LOL my jp might suck. sorry. just click on the cut ;P)

I’ve...

I’ve NEVER been this impressed with America. Ever in my life ^^;;;

You know the old “oh if the Republicans win again, can I come live with you in Canada” half-joke? I’m half-tempted to reverse it. ;P

come “tommorow” (i.e. next year) I’m not stupid enough to think there’ll be a huge change right away because it’s too much to expect from one person, and one man can’t account for everything wrong with America in the end (and the same applies in Canada for sure!), but I just had to post, because...

Well, You know me, I’ve never been particularly envious of you guys living in the states for much other than your weather and your high dollar - I’ve always been a stuck up Canadian and said you couldn’t pay me to live there. Well. I’m totally envious of you now. Yes, I am saying this. I want to have this feeling about my own leader. You have Obama and we have... Harper? my god. I’m really skeptical and hate political ads and marketing and campaigns, I hate most speeches, etc, and this one did have it’s cheesy and typical moments, but... Obama’s acceptance speech made me cry. ME. CRY.

Americans - way to go. seriously. your government finally looks better than ours ;P

If nothing else, you finally elected a guy who can give a fucking awesome speech and actually INSPIRE PEOPLE TO TRY AND BE BETTER PEOPLE instead of inspiring people to be retarded ignorant cowards, and that’s a step in the right direction.

He makes me want to like America. That speech made me want to try harder here too.

it took me awhile to believe this had actually happened... And he is so well spoken and has such a “too good to be true” image right now that I am really really really worried about something happening to him ~_~; Not to mention I’m sure there’s racist riots happening somewhere already that they haven’t bothered reporting on... =_= and the senate looks like it’ll be a tough split so it’ll be harder for him to pass stuff through it.

....DAMMIT NOW I AM TOO WORKED UP TO GO TO BED! I NEED TO WORK TOMMOROW! DDD:

hana-kimi: baka-genki nakatsu :D

a distracting picspam that no one will read <3

Spreading the love from my flist:

1. Stop talking about politics for a moment or two.
2.Post a reasonably-sized picture in your LJ, NOT under a cut tag, ofsomething pleasant, such as an adorable kitten, or a fluffy whitecloud, or a bottle of booze. Something that has NOTHING TO DO WITHPOLITICS.
3. Include these instructions, and share the love.

If I haven’t shown this to you in chat:
this may as well be fluffy kittens as far as I'm concerned! ♥♥!
Before Kanjani8 concert in Nagano, Japan, August 30th:

(sorry it’s not “reasonably sized”, so please click on it, it’s a thumbnail)



(yes that is TINY HAPPY-ADORABLE CHIBIS HOLDING HOMEMADE KANJANI8 FANS. this is way cuter than anime-conspawn, okay? XDD ...they kept tottering around so it was hard to get pics but they looked so happy and adorable and the mommy put the green-ranger fan in front for me coz I said I liked Tacchon... Apparently mommy has the same top-3 faves as I do though! OMG. IF THIS IS NOT CUTE YOU HAVE NO HEART.

But here, if everything is too serious on your flist and a) you’ve already voted or b)you can’t vote, and don’t want to think about it for the rest of the day, here is some braindead fanservice for you! but only if you like boys, or like looking at boys crossdressing with varying-degrees-of-success/failure and/or like it when cute japanese boys hug each other and shit ;D ...if that sort of thing doesn’t cheer you up, then, well, go back to watching the news ;D

ENTIRELY POINTLESS FLUFFY CLOUDS PICSPAM ;P )

~*8*~



P.S. anyway, I’ll be watching Indecision2008 and then going to bed... soon...ish :P I work tommorow and my mom’s fighting a cold. I want sleep! I figure they won’t have news for me anyway until my radio-alarm goes off in the morning. no sense waiting up for it. D: I did, however, use this as an excuse to eat cookies in front of the tv. I want more cookies... D; if McCain wins is it okay to call in sick to work? ;PP ...ah whatever i need money, and I took a voluntary extra shift tommorow, so i wouldn’t do that ;(

[EDIT 11pm: OMG that was fast :O!!!!!? *___________* OMGOMG *_*]
