Summer turned to winter,
And the snow turned into rain...

Kirisumasu
Hetalia Axis has an app on the iPhone. Dang. That's kinda weird.
Christmas seems to be right around the corner and I still feel like I'm missing a lot of the excitement I should have this time of year. We had snow, I've gotten two presents thus far, and there's plenty of hot chocolate...yet...I just don't feel excited about it.
I remember when I used to count down the days and hum little Christmas tunes to myself. I did the paper ring count down thing almost every year. Cut out snowflakes. Really wanted to put up the Christmas tree. Decorate. Look at lights and houses. I dunno what's going on with my head this year. I suppose it has something to do with the radical changes that have taken place over the year.
Hm...I just don't know. I do know that it will be nice to spend time with my family. Definitely gotta bring my PS3 up there though. Need all my LBP data. Teehee.
Ruka spilled all the papers on the floor. They weren't in any particular order.

Cold, Dark...
Blargh. It's cold. I don't want to go back outside cause it's so freaking cold. It snowed in Clarkesville this past weekend. Super pretty.
...oh, kitty!
Zumba tonight. Ah. It's cold. Don't wanna go. I should go though, right? I should. I probably will. But it's so cooooooold. *sighs* I guess I will venture into the cold so I can be semi-social.
Dunno what to do this weekend. I suppose that's all the way at the far end of the week. Between now and then, I get to work 4 hours of overtime. That'll help balance out the whole Christmas shopping thing. Even though I haven't really done anything like that.
Time to go.

Would You
He holds her in his arms.
Would you? Would you?
He tells her of her charms.
Would you? Would you?
They met as you and I,
And they were only friends.
But before the story ends...
He holds her in his arms.
Would you? Would you?
He tells her of her charms.
Would you? Would you?
They met as you and I,
And they were only friends.
But before the story ends...
He'll kiss her with a sigh.
Would you? Would you?
And if the girl were I
Would you? Would you?
And would you dare to say,
"Let's do the same as they."?
I Would. Would you?
And would you dare to say,
"Let's do the same as they."?
I Would. Would you?
This movie always makes me smile.

Fanfiction anyone?
I haven't actually sat down to read fanfics in a couple years now, and this totally reminds me of why: HERMIONE AND GINNY VERSUS THE SPACE WIZARDS
It's as if Sailor Moon were to meet Harry Potter. Wow. Just wow. Thank you Questionable Content.
A new Glee episode came on tonight! Better than last week's ep. The preview for next week's episode explains that mysterious "Christmas episode" they have that CD out for. That looks interesting.
I tried to continue on with my Rurouni Kenshin season two discs, but I think I've gotten them out of order. =/ It's going to take some time sorting them out.
It's been raining nonstop all day. There was light drizzle this morning, then a monsoon to drive through after work, and now it's falling at a steady pace. It makes for great book reading weather. Which is what I'm probably going to do now.
Hurray. Grocery palooza! Tomorrow's the middle of the week.

Yoshitoshi ABe
After a very, very long hiatus, I have decided to finish collecting Haibane Renmei. Randomly found volume one almost six years ago in some tiny video game store with an anime section. Watched it, loved it, downloaded the rest, and decided it was worth owning. I got distracted by other shows somewhere along the way and that one just slipped through the cracks.
Rewatched it this past weekend, and realized that I shouldn't have given up on that project in the first place.
Just looked up the price of Haibane Renmei on Amazon. Apparently a boxset of volumes 1-4 goes for approximately $200.
Blast.
Time to start searching for single volumes at a much more affordable price...

Skins vol. 1, Episode 2
Anwar: Quiet Cas, I'm trying to pray to my God.
Cassie: Oh. Is he listening?
Anwar: ...I hope not.
I re-watched an episode of Skins tonight. I forgot how crazy all the kids were in the first two seasons. They were so personable though. And they weren't screwing each other and getting f*cked up every five minutes. It's such a mesmerizing show.
Anyways, Harry Potter midnight showing tonight. w00t! That's going to be fun. Michelle and I are leaving kinda soon-ish for it. I think. Not too sure.
I haven't been able to eat this week. I don't really know why. I guess it started last Friday after the zumba master class. I felt really hungry, but I just couldn't eat. The feeling hasn't dissipated much since then.
This week's been pretty monotonous.

Want you to make me feel...
Ok, Sam got a new song stuck in my head tonight. *sighs*
I've spent the past few hours cleaning up the apartment. People came. Brought presents. Cooked. Used general...stuff. Built a playground for Ruka. Left a mess. Huzzah. I spent a lot of time running between the dish washer, washing machine, and the new 5.1 surround sound system dad got me as a birthday gift. Cords, cords, cables, plugs, and all sorts of fun! It really is easier to sit down and organize it all when there's no one else here. I guess it was about time I rearranged a bit of the apartment anyways. Hehe. Now I can watch Glee tomorrow night in hi-def with awesome sound.
Oh well, it was a TON of fun. What a great/amazing/awesome/super/excellent/fun/happy/bubbly/exciting/fantabulous/funtabulous/splendid birthday & weekend. At least, I had a fun time. Can't really speak for the other three people involved. Hehe.
Plus, I now have cheesecake! Meep!

Fly away, fly away...
I now remember why I hate taking naps. Too bad I took one right after I got home from work today. Hm...time to think of dinner, but before that!
Work was kind of slow today. I don't know if that's because I was tired, or if it's because there was point in the middle of the day when I had absolutely nothing to do. Josh and I blame the Raising Hope episode on Tuesday for making us both aware of just how slow time can be when you're working. Hehe.
So, birthday on Saturday. I kinda want to visit Toccoa Falls (since I haven't done that, yet), but iunno if that will really happen. Matthew's not really getting here till 12-ish (probably later if I really want to be pessimistic) and it sounds like Jaclyn suddenly wants to do something. It's kind of funny how my birthday seems to get planned around other people's schedules every now and again. *smiles and shrugs*
Can't wait for tomorrow though, cause there's a zumba master class. Huzzah! Gotta get some real sleep tonight.
Ok, so why am I so tired today? Because I went up to Newberry last night and saw Benise in concert. It was awesome! The Newberry Opera House is a cute little place. He came out after the concert was over to sign autographs and stuff, I was standing there was my tickets, (my newly bought) The Spanish Guitar CD, and a couple of 5x7 posters they had on the table. He was right in front of me, and the original plan was to tell him how cool and awesome I thought the show was and smoothly ask him to sign all that stuff.
What happened in reality: I froze, got tongue tied, and barely managed to offer him my sad stack of things while simultaneously mumbling something along the lines of, "will you sign my...stuff?" Which he smiled to, said "sure" enthusiastically, and of course did. He even wrote my name on the CD. w00t w00t! Honestly though, I think he was surprised to see someone under the age of 40 there and super excited. =^.^=
It was painfully similar to when I met Vic Mignona at AWA back in 2008 after standing in line for over an hour. Blagh. Some things never change. If I had known he was going to come out after the concert, I would have brought my camera. But then I guess my dad would have had to ask him if I could take a picture with him, which would have been EXACTLY what happened when I met Vic. *sighs* Super failure on my part. =/
Anyways, last night was a super amount of fun. It was kind of intense for a while there in the middle of the evening when I had to get home by 6:30 pm and I ended up taking this loopy, crazy detour at 6:15 pm cause a huge section of North East St. was closed. It was the most ridiculous detour I've ever taken. There weren't any signs once they made you turn into a side street. I think there was a lost and confused snake of 25 cars going through the windy back roads of some random neighborhood. Overall, it was a great night! I didn't get back to Clarkesville till 2 am, and I was dead tired. Something about driving always makes me feel tired when I'm done. Not when I'm driving, but when I get home and sit on the bed, it hits me. Then I got up at 6:30 am went to work.
Right...dinner.
EDIT quite a four hours later:
1) eating brought my mood up by a tremendous amount. Yay for food!
2) Baccano turned out to be awesome. I'm only two episodes in and it's hilarious.
3) This news makes me happy: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-11-11/efron-not-starring-in-akira-mandate-nixes-oldboy-rumor (...Akira live action = awesome, Akira live action + Zac Efron = not so awesome. Except...there's already an Old Boy movie, so that part's confusing.)
