You know, it's funny. I'm falling right back into old habits. Falling asleep in class, not eating much of a breakfast or lunch, then eating a huge plate of dinner.. I just hope my homework habits stay good. But I don't have much time to go online as a result. It's hard. ><;; And I will either get stuck doing a 3rd and 4th year of Spanish, or take German 1 and 2. I'm hoping for the latter. I don't want to learn more of Spanish.I heard the teachers are horrible. XP And besides, German is more fun, AND I'd be able to do it easier, hell, anytime I have trouble I could ask my Oma. German is her first language!
Art class is horrifying. The teacher is one of those that will single out a student to make an example of them. She saw what I was doing for our first real assignment, drawing kitchen utensils. I chose a whisk, because it's complex, unique, it would keep me busy. I did a unique perspective, and did alright on the shading. She looked at it over my shoulder, and then looked at what my table-mates were doing, and said, "I hope she isn't intimidating you all!" I said, "OXO;;;; umm.... I...wouldn't....know...-buries face in my arm, embarrassed-" the teacher said, "Well you're intimidating me! -laughs-" I was just silent at that point. The teacher had given this long winded speech about how people that sit around the "overachievers" to not be too intimidated, to try your best anyways, don't give up because they are doing better, and she understood, she has felt like that before, at an art teacher convention, and she felt all her peers were doing so much better than her, and BLAH BLAH BLAH.So I had NO clue HOW to respond. Hell I didn't know if it was a compliment or what. x________________x She said, "Yeah, you're definitely an overachiever. You're doing well, all of you." Then she walked off to answer a question. Yeah. That was horrifying. I prefer to stay under the radar in classes (hell school in general. I won't speak to someone unless spoken to, I'm pretty quiet, stick to myself, am stoic) and so to be made an example of like that.... UGH. But there's nothing else I can take, the school is artistically lacking, there are no other general art classes that I can go in this late of the year. Oh well.
And I think I figured out how I got ill. I hang out with a group of people that title themselves the "Doves". They're all pretty cool. They listen to music, chat, it's just a place to hang out when you have no where else to go. The "Mom" (Matriarchal leader of the group) has taken a liking to me. I think it's because I'm fairly innocent in their eyes. I don't smoke, I don't drink anymore. (lol their reaction at me saying that I got drunk once was hilarious. "O.O Wha?? You don't seem like.... The TYPE.") So the "Mom" has kinda taken me under her wing. She makes sure I know street-wise stuff that I haven't learned before. Like you can get Nicotine poisoning. Like, smoking too many cigs. I had NO clue about that. She started telling me of how she got Nicotine poisoning, and was nauseous all day and had a headache. I said, "Wait what. o.o that's odd... you know that's how I've been feeling the past few days. But I don't smoke!" "Mom" looked like she felt bad all of a sudden. "Umm... could it be from the second hand??" She looked at her cigarette that she was holding, and looked like she felt really bad. Like, I usually sit downwind of everyone, leaning against a tree, and "Mom" won't be thinking, and will accidentally tap the ashes from her cig, and it'll land on my shirt @____@ It was accidental, and so I always forgive her. Anyway, I told her, maybe, I don't know. All I know is tomorrow I'll sit at the tree that is upwind of the smoke.
It'd really suck if what I have is Nicotine poisoning because I'm really sensitive to the damn stuff. And I'm not angry or blameful - jeesh they're awesome and respectful. They respect that I don't do what they do. And they're great people (lol they actually got me to dance a couple of days ago
that was odd. Haven't danced in forever
pretty damn miraculous that I danced. It was fun though. Worth it.) And since there's another Jasmine, I got a new name XD I've been rechristened as Crystal (since I'm always wearing the two crystals around my neck) I swear I have so many names I go by at this point I could make a dictionary!!! Riko, Jasmine, Jazzy, Jas/Jaz, Bramble, Sun, Hato, and now Crystal.
I love the name XD If I wasn't going to be named Jasmine, I would have been named Jewel, so it's actually pretty damn fitting XD -laughs, the groans- >< goddamn stomach... yeaaah I may have to go back to my old system of eating. No breakfast or lunch, but eat enough at dinner to make up for it and make it till the next day. Worked last year. -shrugs-
WARNING: FROM THIS POINT ON IS RANTING ABOUT MY FAVE ANIMES AND MANGAS
And I'm rereading and rewatching animes and mangas. Primarily being Pumpkin Scissors. OMG. I love Randel. I want to draw RandelxAlice fanart. That was so cute, at the ball, when Randel and his other comrades had to crash the ball that Alice was attending to (as she's a noble) to try to stop a riot caused by peasants from killing all the nobles, including their lieutenant, Alice. Randel, seeing Alice in the dress, said, "You look amazing." Alice, suddenly self conscious, covered her dress with her arms, blushing, and said, "There's nothing amazing about this!" (pretty much saying that she's not all that great) And Randel said, "But, there is. That's just like you, Lieutenant.." Alice turned a brighter red, then slapped him four times XDDDDDDD It's so sad though... Alice really loves him (but is hiding it) but she is engaged to another noble.... -tears- it's so sad. -sniff- AND I CAN'T READ ANY FURTHER W(#$%&(#&$()*()!*#()*@)*#%#$ THEY STOPPED TRANSLATING IT ><;;;; What will happen to Randel, and the will'o'wisp that makes him a killing machine, and all those experiments to him? Will his gentle caring mind finally break under the stress? Will his bad dreams become reality? Will he ever confess his love and dependency for Alice? Will Alice ever do the same? Will the other "invisible 9" (nonexistant illegal) military units ever be faced? GAHHHH I WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENS! NOT FAIIIIIIIRRRRR ;>_<;
OMG. OMG. OMG. Blood+.Just. So. Amazing. SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~ Saya, the a Chiropteran Queen (basically a vampire, but due to being raised by humans after she lost her memory, she doesn't drink blood, but is given transfusions weekly I believe, under the excuse of an "anemic syndrome") has to fight mutated humans that were mutated from her twin/parallel's blood, and try to stop an international conspiracy, with her Chevalier, made immortal as she is by her blood, Haji. OMG. If you think it's anything like stereotypical vampire story, THINK AGAIN. Seriously, it's so amazing. SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~ poor Solomon though. He truly loved Saya. He lost everything for her. Diva (Saya's twin, the other Queen) his fellow chevaliers, any semblence of a normal life and power associated with it. And he died, trying to help her. Then, when Saya's time of sleep came... that was sad too. Jeez just imagine... for every decade you sleep, you only get 1/10 of that time awake. So you sleep 20 years... you are awake 2 years. That's a terrible fate. And no cure. It's how the Queens stay alive for centuries. But yeah. Amazing. So frigging amazing.
GETBACKERS YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! I have gotten people hopelessly addicted to this anime/manga. The anime is done, but the manga is still being translated on mangafox. There's like 49 volumes, and only 43 are scanlated. I AM SOOO SOOO SOOOOOOOOO EAGER TO READ THE REST OMFG. It's so complex, with the plot, the different powers of the people, infinity fortress, the different events, ideas of witchcraft, magic, herbology, illusions, SO AWESOME FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!! Poor Ginji, he goes through so much... but he's still cute naive and huggable -^^- And Ban... omg. So. Awesome. He seems so evil and cruel, but he really do has a good heart (mostly from the constant annoyance from Ginji >DDDD) LOL it's a must read series, and a must watch (well, episodes 1-25. The ones after that suck.)
Yeah done ranting I think. XP
