Writer's Block: Places to Lay Your Head

How many different places (cities, houses, apartments, dorm rooms, etc.) have you lived in? Which is your favorite? And your least favorite?


View other answers

I used to live in a house in Japan when I was a baby, but I don't remember it since I lived there until I was two years old.  Then I moved to an apartment in Washington for about 10 years.  That was okay, but not my favorite because it was so small and I had to share a room with my younger brother in a bunk bed. After that I moved to a house.  That would probably be my favorite because most of my friends were my neighbors or lived really close to me.  Also I had my own bed and my own room.  The house was a fairly good size too.  After that we moved to Hawaii into a townhouse.  That would probably be my least favorite.  Even though I had my own room and the size was okay, there were always big dogs barking or stray small dogs would fight.  There were also chickens that would roam in the parking lots.  Then we moved into a house down the street which is where I live now.  That's okay except sometimes the neighbors can be annoying when I'm trying to sleep at night.  Actually right now I live in a dorm at University of Washington in Seattle.  The room's kind of small but it's okay.  I live with two other roommates though we're having some issues with one of them at the moment.

So that comes to a total of six places.

First picture since forever! (Hope it doesn't make you hungry...)

I'll probably post more pictures now because I found out I can send pictures from my phone to my computer instead of hooking up my digital camera and going through the uploading process.

Okay I've been watching too much Zettai Kareshi and Cafe Daikanyama recently.  The settings in both the two drama/movie are surrounded by pastries and cakes, so when I went to Uwajimaya today and saw the cakes at the pastry shop, it looked too good to resist so I bought one.  That strawberry cake slice in that picture was $3....(good thing I just bought one) though I have to say it was well worth $3 because it was sooooooooo yummy! Also, yesterday I had a mocha madness cake from our dorm.  It was really rich so I can see why they put "madness" in there. Having two cakes in two days.....I need to work out this weekend.

Today when I went to Uwajimaya with Angelica I got the latest Cool-up magazine!! Sakamoto Shougo was on the cover!! SO CUTE!!! Angelica has become a BIG fan of little Shougo-kun hehe. It came with a poster of Shougo and Aiba Hiroki! I gave Angelica the Shougo poster so I kept the Aiba poster (I think most of my posters are Aiba...)

Besides Zettai Kareshi and Cafe Daikanyama, I've been watching a lot of Tsubasa Chronicles lately (NEW EPISODE MAY 17!!!) I've always read it but I never realized how good it really was until now! Wow, where have I been.....

Okay I better get some homework done now......

Luau

Well yesterday/last night was the UW Hawaii Club's annual luau!! I spent my breaks in these past two months doing tickets and now that's over.  For the first few hours Amanda and I had to give out tickets to the people who bought them online so we were outside the door doing that for the first part. Then when the dancing started we gave our tickets/money to the adult helpers and watched the performers. In my opinion the dancing was the best part, unless you won the surfboard in the raffle drawing. 

Bad part was that between the main program and the concert portion of the luau, those helping with luau had to clear and remove the tables which was a lot of work.  Then we had to do that when the concert was over and we weren't suppose to eat until after the luau was over, so we didn't eat until almost 1am. Overall it was fun! I want to help out again next year.

Now I'm doing the load of homework I didn't do yesterday since I was helping setting up with luau for the first half of the day and at luau in general for the rest of it.  Well back to homework.

25 Things...

[info]speadee  did this somewhat recently where you just list 25 things about yourself.  I did this once on Facebook too and it was pretty fun, but I'm going to say different things this time. I'm not tagging anyone just because it takes so long to do it. If anyone wants to do it for fun go ahead.

25 Random Things

1) I'm debating whether or not to take a nap before my math class in 2 1/2 hours or do homework now and try to stay awake in class.  This math class is the only class where I fall asleep in almost every class unless I take a nap in the afternoon...

2) As a chair of the Hawaii Club luau ticketing committee, I've been spending all my breaks in between classes setting up,selling tickets at our ticketing table, and closing it down.  I've been to the Hub basement so many times checking out equipment the man in charge already knows what club we're from and always says "Aloha!" to us.  Out of the 938 tickets we have to sell for our Hawaii Club luau, we've only sold about 150, and that's from our ticketing table, online, and at the Hub. Luau is in 10 days too....

3) Suddenly my keyboard decided to be stupid and randomly stop typing some of my letters so I would have to go back and fix them. This happens often when I'm on Livejournl. See? Like that. I'm missing the "a" in Livejournal. The only time it doesn't miss letters if I type slowly and push down on the keys really hard...which is a pain.

4) My arms are really sore.  That's because today there was only Tiffany and me to take down the tent and put away the chairs and table for selling tickets.  We need more volunteers to help close down.....

5) I got a free bottle of ice tea today from Nestea (the ice tea company) for working at the ticketing table/booth.  They were giving out free one shot size samples, but they gave bottles to those who were working at tables/booths.  Those bottles cost about $1.49 at the convenience store on campus.....

6) I hate Seattle's random weather changes.  It's suppose to be in the high 50's and sunny today, but when I woke up it was cloudy and cold so all of us at the ticketing table were freezing, and I was out there for a good three and a half hours today. The worst weather change I've seen is when the day started cloudy, rained, slightly cleared up, HAILED, and turned sunny....Elise told me there was a day last year where that happened but it also snowed as well...

7) I am now drinking my free ice tea bottle. It's diet green tea with natural citrus flavor, with other natural flavors (I'm just reading the bottle)

8) My goal for this week is to finish all of my homework before Friday so I can spend Saturday and Sunday homework-free for once.  I need to work out but I've been spending my weekends in the library doing homework.  At least being in the library helps me stay more focused on my homework.

9) I received a package from my parents on Sunday which has some curry, arare, and whatever other stuff they decided to send me. I still haven't opened it yet due to laziness.....It's just sitting by my chair right now.

10) I've recently got back into the Tsubasa Chronicles anime. I've always been into the manga but now I'm watching the anime at night when I have free time or while I'm doing homework. This is because of the new episode released last month and it's at the climax of the storyline.

11) I had all of my Japanese homework out to work on.  It's still out here and I've done nothing to it because I decided to go on Livejournal.

12) I'm a freshmen in college at the University of Washington in Seattle.

13) I actually wrote my first real business letter to a pharmacist.  He's actually the head pharmacist of Kaiser Permanente so he's always traveling to the other Kaiser's in the country.  I was surprised when he replied to me in 3 days after I sent the letter. He was really nice and since I want to volunteer this summer he told me to talk to the person in charge of student services at the hospital. Later I realized I didn't need to because I got an email from her instead.  Apparently the head pharmacist already told her for me.  She was nice too.  Another thing I liked about the pharmacist was he graduated from University of Washington (fellow Husky!)

14) I am thinking this is going to be a long post.....

15) I love Yuki Kajiura's music. She composes the music for Tsubasa Chronicles and it's just breathtaking.  Apparently she composes music for a new anime so I'm thinking of watching that one, or at least listen to the soundtrack.

16) I have to go to class in over an hour, and I still haven't done any homework.  I promise I'll do it after I finish this.

17) I absolutely love cute things. I basically grew up around them because my parents gave me so much cute stuff since I was a baby, probably because I was a girl and their first child.  I still have my squeaky Minnie Mouse (except the squeaker came out and I keep forgetting to sew it back in) which I've had since I was born.  It's 18 and almost 19 years old.

18) I like doing outdoor activities when I'm not feeling lazy or drowning in homework. Unfortunately I haven't been able to do that since it hasn't been sunny and warm enough yet.

19) I don't really like mormons, at least the ones on my campus.  They always approach me and try to talk to me by telling me their name, asking what courses I'm taking, do I go to church, etc.  Also even though I tell them I'm heading to class, they follow and keep talking to me! The last time this happened was when I was walking to the library to study and one of them actually walked me TO THE DOOR of the library because he wouldn't leave. My friends have had similiar incidents as well....

20) I prefer Japanese music over American music, though I do like Taylor Swift.  For some reason I feel more feelings in Japanese music, especially those who write their own songs.  Yuuta Furukawa is one of artists/actors I like (You've probably seen his name a lot in my posts).  All the songs he's sung are his own lyrics and guitar, and he's only recently made his debut too! (Besides his acting in Tenimyu)

21) I'm not that sleepy now. I hope that this can last through math class.

22) I play the violin, or at least I did.  Due to college I haven't played it in almost a year, which may be bad since I help teach the middle school orchestra classes in the summer.  I really miss my violin.  I only realized that after talking to a friend at ROOTS who plays the piano. (I know the piano and violin are different, but they're both string instruments and it was because we both played instruments in general that we can relate to each other)

23) Nathan told me before when he was ranting that he really missed his old girlfriend and that it was painful.  I now understand that kind of pain and the saying "You only realize it when they're gone," (well the saying went something like that I'm not sure if those are the exact words.) I find it strange that I didn't feel this type of pain when I left my family and friends in Hawaii to go to college (though I do miss them very much.) About a month ago my friend at ROOTS told me that he was probably not going to come anymore because he was going to do research full time downtown (he's a 1st year graduate student from UW) and has no way of getting to ROOTS without missing his bus home or paying the ridiculously expensive parking fee downtown, and he only told me this on the last day he came to ROOTS, so it was very sudden.  It's been a month since he stopped coming to ROOTS and I still miss him and his piano playing.

24) I find it amusing I only enjoy talking to my brother (which means I don't argue with him in the middle of the conversation) after I leave. However even when I was still in Hawaii,  I was glad to have a sibling, even though he was a pain half of the time as most younger brothers are when they're young.

25) I still didn't do any homework during this time, and I have to go to class soon.....OH WELL ^__^;;

That took longer than I thought.....I guess it's okay since I haven't posted in a couple of weeks.

Total Lack of Posting

Wow it's been two weeks since I've posted...........so I'm posting right now before I go to class.

Well I've been busy.

First there were second quarter finals

Second there was spring break . I went back home to Hawaii and Kay was staying over. We had fun! And one of her friends from Seattle was also visiting Seattle so my friends met her friend too.  We even got together with Nathan who was also home for spring break and went to the Dole Plantation and did the maze. (we took an hour and a half to complete it. The first half an hour was a waste because we couldn't find the first sketch station and we were literally walking around it...)

Third, just new classes and homework in general. I've actually been starting the homework early now.

Though I'm really happy right now! My Shitenhoujimyu CD and Furukawa Yuuta's first single arrived in Seattle today so I should get my package after class YAY!!!!!!!! And I should get my Cafe Daikanyama II dvd tomorrow (I really need to see a new movie with Tenimyu guys in it, especially Aiba....I need a break from homework and studying....)

Speaking of Tenimyu, I'm so sad 4th Seigaku cast is graduating T.T I really like Yuuta. Shougo is so adorable and cute. Daisuke is just a dork he reminds me of Shirota XD (I still don't get how those two dorks can play the all so serious Tezuka Kunimitsu....) I was already sad when 3rd cast graduated (AIBA!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and now more people are leaving...........I already decided that I'm going to buy the 4th cast Dream Live 6th goods when they release it. Usually I don't buy (even though I want to) until the Shitenhoujimyu (because I REALLY wanted the calendar) but since 4th cast is graduating, I'll buy their stuff (even if it means I'm taking more money out of my account for college ^^;;)

Gah I'm writing a lot.....Guess to make up the two weeks without posting....

Okay got to go to class now

Final Studying

Again I spent most of the day in the library. I'm still not done typing out my note summaries, which means I have to spend the whole day tomorrow doing practice problems D:

I'm still in the library right now actually....I'm going to go back to my dorm in about half an hour. Luckily the dorm's not that far especially since it's dark right now.

I think this is the most studying I've done in my life. More than when I stayed up til 2am last quarter (and that was already intense).

There's sooooooo many people in this library you wouldn't be able to tell it's a library because it's so loud.  I guess because it's open for 24hrs. I'm with Tiffany right now studying for chemistry. Her final is tomorrow morning at 8:30am (ouch...) so she was thinking of staying over at the library since the building where her exam is at is next to the library and because she's scared she's going to be late.  I'm not going to stay that late (I kind of want my sleep.....) but I wish her luck on her exam. :)

Okay back to studying for chemistry

Mar. 16th, 2009

I just want it to end already.....

I got two finals done on Saturday, so I spent basically the whole day yesterday playing my ds (basically to finish my Pokemon Ranger game so I can start playing my Prince of Tennis game on the plane on Saturday when I fly back. I managed to finish the main story plot which was the goal.  I'll play the post-ending stuff later when I get back to it) so I  was basically a lazy bum yesterday.  Though I did take an hour, actually less than that.....to go up the street to buy face cleaner, kleenex, and paper towels.  Now I'm studying for chemistry since the final is on Thursday (I'm actually studying early for once!!!!)

Great so for the next four days it's going to be nothing but chemistry.  I even got the will power to not even start my Prince of Tennis game until after my last final. There's just so much to do, I want it to end already......It doesn't even feel like I'm flying home on Saturday because of all the studying I have to do for chemistry. 

I'm actually being productive right now.  I'm looking through the course packets from the chapters we've learned and typing them out on a study sheet on Word (because I can never remember concepts for chem....I'm more of a numerical practice person).  I think it's because I'm in a library, where it's actually quiet.  Elise went to her boyfriend's house today after her final so she's going to be out the whole day.  When I woke up this morning (at about 11am,I don't usually wake up that late....) I found Jenny's boyfriend on her bed ( I thought I felt the bunk bed move when I saw Jenny wasn't in bed...) and later her friend came over after I got washed up. So there were three Koreans (speaking Korean....) about their environmental essay (or something like that) and I knew I was not going to be able to concentrate (if I didn't need to study I would have just drowned them out with my headphones like I usually do) so I actually got the energy to walk onto campus when I didn't need to and go to the library. Usually I just go down to 1101 downstairs (that was too noisy with all the people studying for finals on their laptops) or the study room ( I would have gone there but I wanted coffee and Suzallo library has a cafe at the entrance) but I figured I would be more productive at the library, and it's working.  I plan on staying here until 5 at least (I got here around 12:30-1) Then I'm meeting up with Amanda and Tiffany later so she can borrow my course packet notes (her professor gives wrong information a lot so she's copying my professor's notes) and maybe study (if my brain doesn't die before then...)

Okay well back to study time! I needed this break......

FINALS OMG!

I have two finals today (hence why I haven't been posting all this week). I just got done with Japanese, which was pretty easy. I got it done in 45min within the 2hrs time period o.O

That's a good thing because it gives me more time to study for math, which I need!!!!! I still need to write my note sheet gaah. Well I better do that.

Hana Kagari Cd pics


Well someone asked to see the Naoya tradng card I got from my cd, so I decided to post pics of the whole cd. :)

Here's the cover of it. I don't know why it's sideways, my computer put it that way....



This is a cardboard cover that's removable. There's a manga-like illustration version of them on the other side but I forgot to take that picture.


This is the back cover of the pamphlet which is sooooo pretty. Again my computer decided to turn the picture sideways for some reason.


And my Naoya trading card I got. My computer's being evil again...


I gotta say that overall, the back cover of the pamphlet is my favorite XD

Oh good news is that I should get my Tenimyu photobook tomorrow YAY!

HAPPY!

I wanted to post this on the day  I got it, but I forgot and posted lyrics on the community instead, but I got my ON/OFF cd!! XD

I really like the second song Hane Kaesu Yuuki because it's so upbeat and catchy. The first song Hana Kagari was more traditional Japanese but it's sooo pretty. Oh oh since my cd was first press, it came with a trading card inside! It was Naoya! (Though I wished it was Kazuya, or both of them) but I'm happy.

Well I FINALLY got word of my photobook. NOW it's on the tracking system. Just got word that it left Dallas, Texas yesterday (after almost a week of no updates.) Well that means I'll get it soon ^_^

Mar. 4th, 2009

YAY! AGAIN!

YAY I just tracked my cd and it's in Seattle! So I should get it today!! I heard a preview of the song on youtube because one of the people I subscribed uploaded it already :O

But then I decided to wait to hear the whole thing on my cd. And my parents' package of Hinamatsuri treats should come today too!! YAY!! I'm still waiting for my photobook....it got shipped on February 27 and my cd was shipped the day after and it's already here. Hmm hopefully I get it today too. That'd be awesome because then I would get three packages >_< (kind of doubts it though -__-) And I STILL can't seem to track it even though they gave me the code. It still says "no information available." I hope it's just because they gave me the wrong number or something and I get it soon. Especially when I checked the website information it said "SHIPPED" -__- Oh well

I got my chemistry and math midterms back yesterday.  I did better on both (not that much better on chemistry though....I thought I would do better than I did....) but I was happy with my math score. I got a 4/10 on the first problem which was the average of the class for that problem. That problem was really hard and confusing. My friend told me the highest score for the entire exam in our class was 38, which likely means NO ONE got the first one right. My TA said (not sure if he was joking or not) that if no one gets it it won't affect our score. I wish they would remove that question from our score because when our TA went over how to solve for it, my entire quiz section's reaction was basically "HUH?!" like we understood why it's solved that way, but none of use would have known we had to solve it that way.  It was just ridiculous, but I understand why we had a problem like that. It's because on the first midterm there were too many people who got 100% on the exam so our professor needed some people to fail, or do not as good, and make the exam harder. That problem threw me off too because there wasn't any problem like that in the practice exams I did, which were exams from past quarters, and I even did exams from 2003! or around there, I can't remember exactly. I got full points on two of the other problems though, and I got 8/10 for the third one because I wrote the wrong angle but I still solved it the right way. I wasn't sure what angle to write there in the first place because it was one of the harder angle problems. I got more points than I expected actually o.O

Wow this post came out long. I still haven't written a review/summary of Triple Complex Returns yet. I don't think I'l have time to for awhile. Maybe I'll do it on the plane on Microsoft Word and copy and paste it onto here (since we're not allowed to use internet on the plane.)

AAGH about three more hours til my package (or packageS) arrive!!

I'm hungry...I think I'm going to eat lunch. Then watch an episode of Tsubasa Chronicles (got back into it again) while I'm eating (it's called multi-tasking) and finish my lab report and prelab write up for tomorrow's lab. Then I can start math homework tomorrow since my Japanese classmate buddy wants to do a Japanese movie night tomorrow (we were going to do it yesterday but she had to study for a quiz) and I don't want to do homework tomorrow. And I have to get up early for registration on Friday too.

Okay lunchtime! That and my fingers are getting tired from typing on the keyboard.

YAY!

I just got an email yesterday that my new ON/OFF cd got shipped, and is already in the U.S.!!! (usually I get the email while my item's still in Japan 0.o). What's even better that the cd is not suppose to be released til March 4th!! So I'm really happy! xD

My photobook got shipped too! I got that email a couple days before from YesAsia, but for some reason there's no info on it on the tracking site on U.S. Postal, so I'm confused on that :/

Actually I'm going to check now to see if there's any update....*goes to check*

Nope, still says no record of the item.  If my ON/OFF cd arrives before my photobook, I'm going to be slightly angry. Oh well I waited longer for the cd (since beginning of February when I ordered it) so I guess it'll be okay.

Chemisry midterm's over, but finals are a couple weeks away. Good news is that I'm going home in a couple weeks YAY!!!

Another Chemistry Midterm

Chemistry midterm tomorrow, which means me studying hard core the night before!

Though I actually understand most of the concepts. I just got to do practice problems to feel comfortable about it. And my midterm's not until the afternoon so I have the morning to practice too.

Okay back to homework and midterm studying/practicing. I seriously need to write longer stuff....

Lab Report

Trying to work on my lab report. It's not the mos interesting thing in the world nor is it the shortest thing to do........

And my keyboard doesn't want to type all the letters so I end up backspacing and retyping or adding letters because it didn't type it
the first time.  It's only on livejournal and sometimes facebook it does that. Oh well.

Back to lab report.

It's that time of the month again.....midterms............

It's been over a week since I've posted. Busy busy....I still haven't written my review for Torikon Returns yet....Probably won't have time until after next week if I remember..........

Okay I really should get back to working on my lab report. Lots of stuff to talk about but will do that later.

TRIPLE COMPLEX RETURNS DVD!!!


I FINALLY GOT MY TRIPLE COMPLEX RETURNS DVD! I watched it yesterday too! It didn't have as many funny parts as the first one, but definitely more action. Though the beginning and ending were pretty funny. Maybe I'll write a review for it later, but not now because I have tons of homework I have to do today.  Poor Minami he's being picked on almost the entire movie XD

GAH can't start talking about the movie now.  HOMEWORK TIME!!! Later I will DEFINITELY!!

One more post!

Wow I post another entry right after my previous one.

My blog's been lacking pictures.....I've been too lazy to upload them and I haven't taken some in awhile or my friends have been the ones taking them......

Just felt like saying that.

Because I feel like it

I'm actually doing homework, because I feel like it!! (That and just because I have to since one assignment's due at midnight tonight.)

Hmm can't remember if I posted this yesterday....but I went to the Hawaii Club luau chair meeting yesterday with Amanda since we're both chairs for the ticketing committee.  Our main jobs include getting the tickets printed, selling them, emailing and making sure the volunteers who signed up are actually voluteering, and taking care of the money box. O.O;; At that point Amanda immediately told me I'm doing that job, but she'll do everything else.  I accidently spilled syrup on the committee binder the officers gave us yesterday (OOPS). Amanda and I had breakfast right after the meeting so that's how the syrup got on there. At least the binder was plastic. ^__^;;

Well we don't really need to do anything until next month, at least that's what I think and that's what the calendar says in the binder.  Though at some point I'll need to get the ticket form from them to print the tickets.....oh well Amanda was going to email one of the luau chairs so we'll find out later. 

Okay that's it for my homework break. I took one because I felt  like it! Now going back to homework, because I feel like it!

Sleepy...

I'm tired from working out today.....

My Triple Complex Returns DVD still didn't come yet!! D: but it's in San Fransisco at least. :) It's in the United States!!!

I got a lot of homework done today. And managed to work out.

Ugh I don't feel like writing much today. Maybe later...
