Yes, Juri's in bed behind me.

and her shift key sucks, so i'm not going to capitalize if i can bloody well help it. so there. :P

it's about 11 am, and we are still half-asleep. the htkd ( ka-chan and kya-chan ) and gregly and juri and i got together last night at the mitsuwa for shopping and other bizarre forms of entertainment. first juri and i ddr'd for a while; she got a fricking -a- on silent hill ssr, but i got an a on afro-nova twice! my best combo was 146 o.o the arrows are easier to hit in the arcade, but i nearly fell off each time i tried to do a shuffle-step. damn slippery metal. *kusu*

juri just handed me a glass of low-acid, pulp-free orange juice. either she's mocking my ability to survive drinking a glass of orange juice, or she really cares, because she announced that this was the `safest glass of orange juice that i will ever drink.' o.o

so after the ddr'ing, we went inside the asahiya and i cracked and bought the december and january newtypes (for the bebop movie stuff -_- ) and nine volumes of 'my da-rin raion' ( my darling lion ) which seems to be the adventures of shishio and emily. shishio means 'lion king' essentially, and he's like the cute horny puppy that essentially always wants to hump your leg in as many inventive ways and places as he can figure out. i think emi has a page on this series - yes, she does!

i just explained to juri, who's reading my blog over my shoulder, that i usually type much faster, but her left shift key is broken, so i hafta consciously stop and use my right hand to use the shift. and then she looked at me, and o.o'd. ' so you don't usually use your right hand to type, eh? H_H '

now we're watching the uiuc anime club break tapes from last semester, which gregly foolishly left behind last night. *kusukusu* it's hella funny to watch all the outtakes!

well, after i bought a hell of a lot of manga last night, we went back to juri's place and looked at all my dirty doujinshi. ;;^^ there were so many good quotes from last night i don't even know where to begin.
    ' Karen, I have three words for you. FAP. FAP. FAP.' ( in unison )
    ' it's the fapmobile!' -juri
    ' so basically, your only objection to the lesbian playboy with the girls licking blueberry filling off each other is that a) the filling shouldn't be too hot to burn the girls, and b) they shouldn't waste any food? GREG!' -puu
    ( and i just took time out of the quotes-listing to explain to juri what a 'limp biscuit' or 'cookie on the cookie' is. ;;;^^ )

    EW! >_<

    Anyhoo, Back to the quotes, now that I, Juri, have taken over the compy. Might I remind you that I can type just fine even without the left shift key :P although I admit that that key is why I never capitalize on IRC.

    Oh yeah, quotes.

    "I am disturbed that my girlfriend just said 'Oh my God, this DJ is so dirty! Pass it over here! XD' o_o" -Greg

    "EW! *flip* EW! *flip* Oooooo, pretty *_* *flip* EW!" -Juri reading an H-DJ interspersed with pretty pics. My reactions greatly disturbed the room. ^^;

    And now for something slightly different....
    [11:51] And I need to find some socks :P
    [11:51] teehee.
    [11:51] socks H_H
    [11:51] what are you doing with socks?
    [11:51] XD
    [11:51] -_-;
    [11:51] Wearing them, you ecchi-heads ^_^;
    [11:52] make sure they're clean socks....
    [11:53] O:)
    [11:53] _O_
    [11:53] Hey, congratulations, that's the first time I've ever done the facefault emoticon ^^;
    [11:54] hahahahaha
    [11:54] all i said is make sure they're clean!! what's wrong with that?? O:)
    [11:54] your halo broke.
    [11:54] Well, they'd have to be clean for DDR, after all... ^_^
    [11:54] hidoi! ;_;
    [11:54] * Clow flicks the halo, which flickers and buzzes
    [11:54] I think you blew out the halo's ballast
    [11:54] yeah, you don't want to slip....
    [11:55] Yes, that would be dangerous...
Anyhoo, time to post this mother and get the hell offline. Ja~

o/~ Lately I have been frequenting bad houses...places no respectable man would be seen... o/~

Finally, no more work for a few days! *_* I'll be in Chicago before 5 pm. Are y'all free to go for dinner tomorrow night, maybe? I think we'd need to use one of the HTK's cars, or something.

It snowed heavily today. Everything is covered with a thick glittering layer of snow; it looks like crystallized sugar under the streetlights. I worked until 5 today and went outside to wait for my ride; I could hear people chanting somewhere on campus. Turns out that this week there's been a big Christian gathering, with 20,000+ people converging on campus. There were posters of aborted fetuses on every streetcorner. Charming. :P It had been a nice night; I wished they'd just be quiet for a while and let me enjoy the fading light and all the falling snow.

I'm sitting here, typing out my blog, and then my mom appears and says, " if your eyes hurt, why don't you read a book instead?" " .... " " Uh...then DDR! C'mon, off the computer and come DDR!"

I have been summoned/kicked off, I guess. Oh well. ;;^^

Now Playing: Big Black - Bad Houses ( natch ^^ )

o/~ You said you liked to hear me talk...you told me not to stop - o/~

Added a new blog to my list; rei-chan emailed me like a week ago and I AM the email black hole so I haven't replied yet. ;;^^ Anyways, re: your question about DDR: I started playing DDR in - oh, October, November, something like that. I've known about it for a year but I only buckled under a few months ago. I have 2nd Remix and 3rd Mix - that actually work - and the original, which doesn't seem to want to work. ._.# I'll hafta see what's wrong with it. So far I can handle anything upto 6 feet, and I HAVE passed a 7-foot song ( luv 2 me, another ) but that's mostly a fluke. -_- I have finally mastered Afro-Nova, though; I average B or better. *_*

Kya-chan, Ka-chan: if you want a funny translated RPG, pick up Thousand Arms . It's a bizarre combo of RPG and dating sim - you need to learn to make girls like you so you can 'forge your sword', if you know what I mean. H_H No, seriously, it's one of those things where swords are made more powerful if you can infuse them with emotions or something like that. Anyways, it's hysterically funny ( mostly because the main character is such a pervert, and usually during the dates you can have the option of replying to all questions in the ecchiest manner possible. For example:
    Sodina: So, what do you like to do when you're bored?
    Meis: Scamming...womanizing...and going after girls. OR: It's a secret. ^.-
    Sodina: You're being naughty, aren't you? o.O
    Meis: Heheheh. XD
Something like that. XD Or:
    Sodina: Do you think my relationship with my brother is unnatural?
    Meis: Now that you've noticed it, you can do something about it!
It's a really funny game, and it's fun to play. The main villain is the Bishounen Master - er, the Dark Master. The character designs are done by Yuuya Kusaka - she who did this Orphen artbook . Plus, the opening song is sung by Hamasaki Ayumi, and yes, it's still in the original JP. The translation is in the little game booklet. Remind me to bring it to New Year's, and we'll show you, ne Juri? XD Oh, BTW, I'll probably be arriving in Chicago mid-afternoon on the 30th. When I'm more sure of the time, maybe we can arrange that Mitsuwa trip, ne?

It seems that my parents want the phone free, so I'll let you know my plans, OK.

o/~ Oooh Juju told me Clover, he could be your lover o/~

So here's the new layout. Like it? As for the identity of the kawaii neko on the left, just read his name, it's on the bottom. Of course, outside of doujinshi, he looks like this. ;;^^ The joke about this doujinshi is that wouldn't it be funny if for one day a year, reijuu turn human. Bunchuu facefaults when he sees the neko-boy ( especially when his rider hops on his back and they fly off, as usual XD ) and is worried about what his own reijuu, the thing that looks like a giant beetle, turned human. O.o

I went to a pseudo high-school-reunion thing last night at the spur of the moment; I got home, got a call from a friend that there was a meeting at the school, and I put my coat back on and went out again. I saw a lot of my old friends, and it was quite fun; some people I haven't seen in a year or two but we got along just as if we saw each other every day. And then there's some who I've been getting estranged from, and seeing them again just reminded me that we don't have anything in common anymore. Oh well, I don't care, I had fun anyways. Finally saw Dogma, too. ^^

I have work in half an hour and I'm tired. At least I stalled so that I didn't have to walk to work today as my Dad was threatening me with. It's 3 miles in the snow. -_- I don't care if it's good exercise, I don't want to show up at work sweaty and tired! So he said that if I was going to my lab he'd drive me in instead. Dammit, my parents seem hell-bent on making my breaks just as busy as my semesters; they want me to go to my lab in the morning and work all afternoon, and quite frankly, I was hoping for an actual fucking BREAK, dammit. I don't mind the work, but can't I have my mornings free, at least?

Julie called me this morning and gave me her addy. Uh, Ka-chan, Kya-chan, we'd love to meet you at Mitsuwa, but neither of us will have transportation. ;;^^ If you could pick us up? Please? *_* We'd love you forever and I promise not to bite too hard?

I'm gonna surf the web for a while. Oh, those who emailed me about my blog - er--- I'll answer them when I get home. I AM the email black hole. ;;^^
