So much has changed on Xanga since I last posted here.
Lets just say...I have a new blog. School got the best of me, so I wasn't part of the blogging world for a good two months or so...and now I just don't think this blog is any use anymore. I never update it. So I'll just give you the link to my new blog.
www.hotaruandhp.vox.com
It is more of a Japanese-Review blog...more than anything. I am hoping to improve it over the summer to have more than just reviews on Album and Single releases. Yes, it mostly just covers Hello! Project. I am also working to change that, also.
If you want drop by the blog. I don't think you can leave a comment unless you are part of the VOX community, but you can look at my incoherent drawl and such....
I haven't posted anything in a while, so I decided to just answer this. If celebrating actually means studying for exams, yes, I do celebrate Martin Luther King day.
Long time no see? There isn't much to say. Over winter break, I went to The Gathering...a crazy Lutheren...place. It was at a holiday inn. It was...okay. I got hit in the face with a volley ball the first night. It hurt a lot!
After The Gathering, I went to Detroit with Burian. It was a lot of fun, we went to two malls, Tweleve Oaks Mall and Great Lakes Crossing's. My Grandma drives like a scary person. We picked up Noah on the way. It was fun to hang out with him, too :D We went to Wizzywigs, which was also fun, they always have new and different stuff when I go there! I also went to the Cherry Blossom for dinner. Its a Japanese place...its really good! ....Thats about it. Christmas was pretty boring. Now exams are coming up...and I must study for them!
I don't post as much as I used to...but maybe you peoples are thankful for that. I created a new blog this summer (technically last summer) that focuses on me reviewing Hello! Project singles, albums and sometimes talking about the latest topics to discuss on Hello! Project and the Jpop world. If you are interested in reading my blog, you can find it here, at: www.hotaruandhp.vox.com I mainly created the blog because I wanted other people of the Hello! Project blogging world to hear my opinion on things and the like.
So...anyway... What has gone on in my life? I'll describe a couple of highlights... -I read all of Huckleberry Finn. Man, that wasn't a very exciting book. It's fun to mimic the language that its written in, though. -I went to the Christmas Dance. Getting my hair and makeup done before the dance was the hardest part. I got my make up done at 11:45 AM. That wasn't too bad, the makeup was very good for your skin, so I didn't feel nasty later in the day. There was this lady that did my hair...and...She made me look like one of those Barbies from the 60's. It was...terrible. So I went to my regular hair-lady's house and she did my hair in her bathroom XD. The dance was okay. It was kinda boring. Burian and I ate with Welch-san and Risa at Welch-san's house. The food was all fancy-looking, but it really was just stuff like french fries and ketchup. >_< -I went to a LAN Starcraft Party at Welch-san's house. It was very fun. I wont explain much, since I can't imagine it making much sense to most people.
Not many other interesting things have happened. Burian's Birthday is Sunday, so I will be celebrating that...and tomorrow is the Christmas Collage Concert...but that wont be interesting. So I'll just move on to theeeeee Hello! Project Release!!!!
Haha, It had to come eventually! This time its Morning Musume's 35th Single: Mikan (Orange)! Ahh, what a nice cover. Its a change from the usual "Happy Sparkly Fancy" usual stuff. I like all of their outfits!!....On to the actual song...unlike their last single, this song is very happy, and is not recommended for Emo children. They might go into a slight shock by such a happy song. The lyrics are just as happy...the message of the song is pretty much "Be happy. When life gets you down, don't give up. Never give up on your dream!" and...yeah! I didn't like this song much when I first heard it...but after listening to it a few times, I fell in love with it. I hope you like it too, but I would understand if you didn't >_>.
So, writing about my dream's doesn't happen as often as usual, but I
will make a post the dream I had last night!
(Not Using Passive Voice is not important to me in the morning.) Okay, the point where I could remember, was that Brian and I were running around, and then, all of the sudden, he fell over...and died. It was terrible, I didn't know what to do, I started crying. I called my mom over and she just picked up his body and took him away. I was very very confused. Later that day, I'm on the internet and started talking to Brian. I don't know how I was talking to him, because he was dead, but he was still talking to me. I didn't believe the instant messanger was actually him until he called me (assuming I still had or got a new cellphone) and told me where he was. He was apparently sort of in Purgatory. He wasn't totally dead, either. He also said I could visit him in his purgatory-land. While that sounds even more confusing, we planned how I would get there: School Bus? I thought about trying to 'die' too, but I guess I decided that it just wouldn't work. So I went onto school bus to Purgatory Land. Once there, it didn't look any different from 'real life' so I asked him how it was different. He didn't really know. He seemed happy to be there, though. I wasn't happy he was there, though, obviously <_<. He took me to the place where everyone slept and such...it looked pretty much like a Discovery Zone Playground. The odd thing was that most of the people here were teenagers or younger. I saw a survey box looking-thing...the survey was called "How long did it take for your boyfriend/girlfriend to get over you?" But that didn't make much sense to me, either. Nothing made sense! As Brian began showing me where he had slept for the past few days, I said "You don't want to come back at all, do you?" Brian didn't know how to answer the question, saying "I don't have a choice. I have to stay here.", with my response "But if you could, you wouldn't come back. You don't miss me. You don't want to be with me." Startled at my mind-reading-abilities, he simply stated, "Well, life is better now." Disgusted, "Don't you see that this isn't really purgatory? I don't know what happened, but you are not fully dead. Someone or something must have control over your soul or something! Haven't you realized that most of the people around you are people you know? This isn't just a coincidence!" Shocked again at noticing things that he never would have noticed, he said "Well, Welch is here too. Lisa is visiting today." Off-topic from our conversation, but whatever. I noticed that there seemed to be a lot of people visiting today. Or at least it seemed that way. "Why are so many people visiting today, anyway?" ((I'm going to say this right now, this isn't in story-book format, so I don't need indent and enter buttons, bwahaha)) "We were told that if we brought you here, you would stay with us. That even if they wanted to go back, they couldn't." Ehm...What did that mean? "So you knew about this place all along?" Expecting that question, he quickly answered, "No. I didn't. No one really wants to be here at first if they don't have a loved one with them, though. So we were given letters that we should contact our loved ones and bring them here." Thinking about it, I responded, "Well, thats stupid. Now I'm half-dead too?" Well, I just sort of dealt with it, adjusting to the life of purgatory-land. After a few weeks, I somehow got a letter from my mom. She explained that all of the people in the purgatory land were being used for a creepy scientific project. She said that now, the only thing to do was to give everyone that was in the project was to give them each proper death, since those working the project were on death row :D. So...I told everyone that, and we all ran out out the playground-place and into the street. There...we saw cars moving and such, but no people in the cars driving them. Someone had to be driving them, right? So we though that maybe because of being in purgatory land, we couldn't see living people anymore unless they were in purgatory land, too. After a bunch of random happenings, the parents finally broke the purgatoryness. According to the parents, we weren't our regular selfs. We felt like our regular selfs, but maybe we weren't? They said that we had a week to go back to our regular selfs or we would have to be killed due to government rules or something. Luckily, all of the people I had known were back to normal within four days :D And...thats about when I woke up.
So, Weird, nee?
Hello! Project Timeee! So, this weeks release is Kusumi Koharu's fourth single, Chance! and let me tell you, this is a very happy/not the bestly sung song. I don't recommend this song for those who are faint of bad-singing. Above, obviously is the cover. The cover in parentheses, says "Morning Musume" because she's part of Morning Musume and advertisment lol blahblahblah. Onto the song! The song...is ridiculously happy. And she kinda sounds like she's yelling the song at points. I must say, the music video for this song is pretty good, but the song is just like "I'mma make your eardrums bleed!!!!" Of course, it must be taken into account that this song is meant for the opening to anime for little girls. They don't care how bad she's singing, just about how cute she looks and the like.
It's been awhile, but not too long. I just haven't really felt like posting anything, even though I probably could have. So. What has happened to me? Not really anything life threatening or super-exciting.
Things that did happen that are note-worthy: -After much practicing, I'm still in Concert Band. And Fifth Chair, too. I challenged, but ended up staying in the same place. Eren challenged the same girl, too. What I think happened, was that although Eren and I were *probably in theory I don't know* better than the girl, Eren was better than me, so she got first chair, and since its only "One person gets the spot" I can't be second chair and have the girl be third chair. So yeah.
-I hung out with Noah, Risa, Welch, and Burian...last Saturday? Brian picked Noah and I up, we went to his house, then left again. Why? To go to the highschool rumage sale to buy what? Monitors. Yes, monitors. I understand that they were a dollar a piece, but come on...Monitors?! Burian has some sort of strange obsession with them. On the bright side, Noah bought a really cool type writer. While it was pretty much out of ink and the a-key doesn't work, its still pretty sweet :D Later, we watched AI at Burian's house (Burian, Noah and I). It was a sad movie, and the only character that didn't make me annoyed was the teddy bear... Even Later, we went bowling with those listed above *yes, I am lazy*. Noah didn't bowl, though, as doesn't like bowling/wanted to play the brilliant game Cooking Mama for the DS. I dont' like bowling much, either, but I played anyway. I think Welch was the only person that really wanted to go bowling. Meh. Risa half-assed everything XD. I got two strikes at least :D After bowling, we rented a movie called The Prestige. Its new, nee? Its about magician's tricks and stuff. It was a pretty good movie. If you ever want to a watch a new movie, I recommend it :D
Ehm. I'm too tired to do anything else. I hope you enjoyed my rambling.
