I've said it before, and I'll say it again...

[azurite]

I hate dentists. Thankfully, today's appointment was short and relatively pain-free, and now I'm several cavities down with only a few to go. I really need to have better hygiene-- at least where my teeth and gums are concerned. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you should have to learn things the hard way-- not where health is concerned. If one person can make the difference and send you tumbling to the bathroom each night, Crest in hand, let that person be me. Cavities suck.

Anyway, the pain's gone and my stomach's full-- thankfully. Now that Baba and Grandpa are back, Baba doesn't mind making me lunch anymore, but today she decided to take a truly nasty route-- grilled cheese. Let me tell you, I love grilled cheese sandwiches-- when they're hot. Not when they've been stuffed into a Ziploc bag, squished in every way possible, and have holes ripped into them.

Thank Goddess for Scott.

He's a total sweetheart. Yesterday post health-clinic, I was starving, but unwilling to mooch from Scott's lunch; he insisted I eat his peanut butter and jelly (yum!) sandwich on orange bread (yummers!) until I relinquished. And he did the same thing today, the doll. I feel bad about it though, so I'm going to make cookies for him and the other guys at the apartment tomorrow when we go over to watch the Trilogy. Yes, I'm staying over at Scott's. Ooh, bad Mer. *rolls eyes*

On that same topic, Baba and Grandpa didn't seem to mind, but as we got closer to Dr. Burt's (haha) in Beverly Hills, Baba kept saying how she was worried, and what would my parents think? Okay, one, Mom has more embarrassing moments re: guys and sex than I do. It has nothing to do with the fact that she has about 30 years on me. She just does. So she can't possibly complain about a dinky one night sleepover at my boyfriend's. And Dad? Dad pretty much PREDICTED I would hook up with Scott, and pretty much said don't mess up the house [with him] while the g'rents are home. And I didn't, and all is well, and he can't complain either. But then Baba (probably in a sad attempt at trying to be funny again) said she was worried about my "virtue" and I'm only 11 or 12! I know she doesn't have Alzheimer's or whatever, and she's not really spacing out like that, so it just pissed me off even more. I'm not only an adult now, but more than capable of making my own decisions. And that she treats me like a child just downright infuriates me!

There's just no middle-ground, is there? I mean, Mom didn't pay enough attention to me, and I felt pretty lonely and excluded, with probably a more-than-healthy desire to act out and do troublesome, dangerous things. I still survived, and am glad about the stuff (re: Mom) that I don't have to deal with, but on the flip side, with Baba and Grandpa almost always home, it's a bit weird-- they're almost smothering. So even this soon into the school year, I'm strongly hoping to get an apartment (NOT DORMS) next year. Of course, that would require a job and stuff... -_-;

Currently: Dreading the stuff I have to do for tomorrow's classes, not to mention studying for Thursday's math exam. I hate tests. I hate studying. Who doesn't really... I guess... >_< Never mind. It's just math is NOT my strong point. Stupid histograms and bell curve charts... GRR!


I can hear the following snippets from the song... if they sound familiar to you, give me a holler and let me know the anime and if possible, the artist name.

It starts out sounding like it's raining, and has a sort of deep chime sound to the intro. Maybe a special piano? Then the guitars and drums come in for a while, and then the singing begins-- it's a guy.

It's all Kysra's fault -- But later this month I shall be purchasing the DVDs of the Uncut Yu-Gi-Oh series, and doing a comparative studies of the ratio of the following speech patterns in Yu-Gi-Oh. Pass it on, and cackle maniacally until I post graphic results:
* Anzu/Téa's "friendship speeches" (of both the Japanese and English variety, including specific differences in scenes)
* Yugi's "Heart of the Cards" speeches and/or "Destiny" speeches.
* Kaiba's "I will be #1" speeches

I'm also programming the tracks for the CD that Mehg gave me WAAAAY back when they came to visit San Francisco. Yes, finally. If I at least have a file with the names of them, if the CD hard copy ever gets damaged, I can find the CDs again and attempt to replicate it. o_O Though I'm not 100% sure what her title was, as it's in Japanese, and I am again, pretty rusty. I really need to start spiffing up, esp. if I can't get Japanese for the Spring semester.

Finished my CAD drawings. Have to finish my Lab Assignment for Speech. Printed out my Journalism Media Notebook 1, Revised (Due Oct. 9), but I'll save working on MNB#2 until... Thursday. ^^;; It's due Friday. I'm so bad. Need to contact McAfee tomorrow and demand a refund. I'm sick of this shit. I have until the 30th to get a full refund. Grandpa will be happier with $70, I'm sure of it. Bastards. I like Norton better, anyway.

Bah, essays and studying for math. I can't wait till the END of tomorrow, when I'll come home, bake cookies, and spend the night with Scott.

Yeeeah, it can be a bit annoying at times, which is obviously why I'm considering the apartment thing by next year. But who knows what's going to even happen between now and then (or hell, now and two months from now...).

I didn't get a chance to really look at the extras, but as I said in my last entry (not the one we're commenting to), the change in music and a few visuals really irked me. I'm not as die-hard as other fans, but still...

And of course I miss you! I miss having friends to hang out with in general.. ^^; I just realized how NON-social I am compared to SF, where I have FRIENDS! Anyway, I'll start sending the Circle Journey book around Sept. 30 or so. Keep your eyes peeled for it.

The first song is the end theme to Weiss Kreuz (spoken: Vice Kroits [say it right!])

The second song is Sleepless Beauty by K.Ito + D.K. from Gravitation.

Both series are full of pretty boys, and Gravitation is full of yaoi.

IM me if you've got more songs, I might be able to help you out with finding out where they're from.

=D

[azurite]

Wow, thanks-- you were right on both counts! Thanks buckets... there's only one more song on the CD that I can't ID, but it's instrumental, so unless I sent it to you, there's probably no way to figure out what it is. Though, judging by past trends, it would most likely be from one of the following animes:
* Noir
* Fushigi Yuugi (less likely; I know almost all the FY songs)
* Gravitation
* Weiß Kreuz
* Angel Sanctuary

I doubt that's much help, but if you wanna try anyway, I'll send you the file. Once again, thanks SOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! ^_^
