waiting in line

Yes, I still breathe. Yes, I should have made this post earlier. Yes, I suck in general. I just feel such a disconnect from this journal that I have not gotten around to updating or logging in OTL

I've actually moved to aentee a while ago, but never got around to making that change here. I guess it's because I've always used this particular journal for iconing... so I never really thought about it until I myself started iconing again asfuhdfhs;

So yes, I am a terrible friend so for those who still has me on their f-list, I'm very sorry. If you are still interested in me for some inexplicable reason, I'll be glad to have you at aentee.

I'll still leave this journal up because all my oldest icons are here and awww, I can't get rid of that, not even out of shame XD But otherwise, goodbye all~!

Took my brother to the hairdresser today upon his request. He is getting incredibly vain these days... Me thinks he is in love. I am feeling somewhat miffed over this. Is this what they call Empty Nest Syndrome??? *bricked*

In better news though, I found Shojo Beat today in Borders ;____;♥ I've searched high and low for this magazine so I am very happy <3 In a few days I will come to the realisation that paying so much for a manga magazine is just stupidity, but for now let me squee over it.

And now, time for some meme~~
This I got from Michi (harlequins)
1. how's college? ;A;
TOO.MUCH.PHYSICS. Other than that it's good as I only have 1-2 lectures a day XD But all my spare time is then devoted to studying for physics anyway (or it should be... if I stop coming online so much 8D) I also have a Philosophy test on Wednesday and I've only turned up to 2 of those lectures this year orz... I blame the early start it has :D

2. when is that icon post
When I figure out how to make pretty non-Clamp icons XD I'm not as into Clamp series anymore but apparently I only know how to make Clamp icons orz... And I'm mostly on my laptop now which fails, because it only has Photoshop 7.0 I want my CS3, with its pretty photo filter function <3

3. if you could meet anyone on your flist, who would it be
Bah I can't choose, how about a huge (or not so huge cos my f-list is um, moderately sized 8D) LJ union.

4. what have you been reading/watching
Too much manga for my own good XD Most recently I read a couple of volumes of Swan, hooray for totally girly ballet manga 8D And a couple of days before that I read Pluto by Naoki Urusawa, which was absolutely awesome, I enjoy this one a lot more than his Monster. As for watching, hm... the Korean version of Hana Yori Dango. And the lameness that is New Zealand's Next Top Model ): I cringe in shame for my country.

5. what's better: being loved or loving someone unconditionally
I haven't been in love for a while now (well on my way to being the dried up old ladies I use to fear) so experiencing that again would be nice. But... I WANT BOTH >) *greedy*


And um... apparently people can comment on this post and I will also give them 5 interview questions if they wish. Or something like that 8D

The first semester of our year started last week, and waking up at 5:30am to go lecture every morning sure takes some getting used to -__-;;; As does my tiny Optometry class of 40 people XD We don't even fill up the tiniest lecture hall they have to give us, it is sort of sad ;~;

Anyway, my complaints today will be directed towards Viz Media. They licensed Kimi ni Todoke, which is all well and good, but what's with this cover?!. So fail, so ugly... it looks like the designer took about 2 minutes putting it together on Photoshop. This had better not be the end product ;__; Just when I thought they were getting better at this cover design business after being impressed by Otomen volume 1.

Luckily, on the manga front, there is the return of Nodame Cantabile after many long months to keep me happy :3

And it also seems the scary happenings in my neighbourhood has decreased considerably with the cold weather :) Thank you for the concern of those who commented in the last post, I am fine and will try my hardest to continue to be :D

Only a week left of my 4 months long holidays ~! Next Friday I have Optometry orientation and I am so going to get lost on the new campus shfjdhfsh >: Ah well it'll be good to get back to Uni since then I'll spend less money on useless shit like... manga XD No, no, I lied, manga is not useless, it brings me joy~~~

But nonetheless, we must invest less money in manga and more on textbooks *nods* At least the presence of the latter on my bookshelf will make me look smart >)

For some reason my entire block has ceased to get any water this afternoon... :( I knew I shouldn't have held off washing my hair until today XD;;

I can't believe it's the 9th of February already, too -- I'm still getting used to the fact that it's 2009... The world is moving to quickly for me ;__; Only about 2 weeks left before it's back to Uni we go, bah~

So today I pretended that I had money to spare and got myself a paid account 8D! Hopefully this will be enough incentive for me to use LJ more often *fail journal-keeper-thing* And how on earth does one use 30 icon spaces O:

In other news, I've gotten into Optometry~ All friends will be promised cheap glasses & lenses in the future - if I pass... This course sounds woefully full of Physics~

Today we made jelly.

It turned out crispy.

Where did we go wrong D8 What a wonderful way to start the year XD This is a bit late, but have a great year, folks ♥!

I've just spent the last few weeks staying over at a Uni dorm and mentoring younger students. Good news is, they were far cuter than I had anticipated ♥~ Bad news is now that the mentoring period is over, I am going to miss them T^T

I saw a shooting star the other night, but mistook it for fireworks and so didn't make my wish in time *shakes fist* I could have used it to, seeing how badly I performed in my Med interview last week ^^; The whole interview was a bit on the random side though, one of the interviewers asked even asked me how I would initiate conversation with a stranger I'm stuck in the lift with XD

The result apparently comes out end of this week though, so I guess a happy or sad Christmas is dependent on this ~

As subject line says, midterms are finally over ♥~ And for the first time ever, I'm really happy with my results :D The fact I didn't fail alone is rather amazing, accounting that I spent study time marathoning Nodame Cantabile on Onemanga instead XD; Speaking of which, it still makes me a bit sad thinking about it now ;~; I do hope Chiaki and Nodame finds a happy end /nonsense.

There's a class party tomorrow that requires us to dress up as a doctor or a nurse to attend. Why oh why is there a theme~ I might just buy a toy stethoscope from the $2 shop in the morning and call my outfit done XD

Michi~! Stop disagreeing with me and just accept that your smile is dazzling already, woman~! <--- main point of this post.

Physics test really killed me today ;~; Lucky it was only worth 7.5% ~ And we got locked into the room for 20 minutes after it was done and all the lights went off, what what XD;

But Biochemistry tomorrow is worth half the course, *spazzes* ~ I want to sleeeeeep T3T Can all the amazing net people out there tell me how it is that you guys manage to stay lively with less than 8 hours of sleep per night? *is weak*
