Straight from Nihon

Check out this really interesting video from the Japanese band Sour. Makes me want to learn how to do shadow puppets.

Boring

Why am I so boring? What do I have going for me? What is going on in my life? Nothing. I'm so boring. I need something to make me not boring. I need a new skill or something. Something that can make me stand out. Does driving 25 minutes to Dairy Queen, getting blizzards, and taking 2 hours to drive back not sound fun to you? Well, that's fun for me. Maybe for me to be less boring, I should make everyone else change their definition of fun. That seems a lot more feasible than making me less boring. Bleh...... That's all I have to say.... ever.... What is my problem? That say if you're bored, you're boring. Well, I'm bored right now so therefore I'm boring..... Life....... Goals.... Whatever

Classes....

Why can't we just take classes we just want to take? Bleh.... I hate this feeling of no motivation for my classes. Like there's nothing to look forward to in that class because the subject just doesn't interest you, but you have to pretend it does. But isn't that life? I guess I should be able to accept that being my age and all, but it's too hard. How are everyone's classes?

Calm Before the Storm

Sorry for the lack of updates. Training has been a bitch with me having commitments from 8:00 a.m. to 2 a.m. @_@. But enough of me bitching, it has also been one of the greatest times of my life. I've made 50+ friends who are all amazing! I really hope we can stick together through the year and whatnot.

This weekend, everyone moves in. It should be exciting! A lot of people are scared, but this time is the reason I signed up to be an RA. Not a lot of people really know this (or they probably just expect it from me :-P), but move in for me was one of the most depressing times of my life. Being 2,000 miles away from home and not knowing a single soul was a very daunting thing. Almost all of the first 6 weeks I had to hold back tears of the uncertainty of the day. Would I have someone to eat lunch with? Will they let me hang out with them? Am I the only one who doesn't have any plans this weekend? Luckily, the people on my floor are the most amazing individuals I've met in a long time. To them, I say thank you! I wouldn't be half the person I am today if it wasn't for your guys' love and friendship. So thank you Alex, Jun-wen, Emi, Elaine, Yukari, Christine, Sarah, Liz, Matt, Bessie, Amanda, Cynthia, Aimi, Emie, Brian, Joe, Lawrence, Shasta, Nuri, and Allison. You guys are all wonderful and have so much to ofter the world. I hope and pray that my residents this year are even the slightest bit as awesome as you guys are. I hope I can help them through this rough time like you guys did for me.

Time...

I want to write a new post, but haven't had enough time! I have RA training which is so.... draining. Bleh, I don't even feel like typing it here. I have this nice three day weekend, but today's already over. I promise I'll write something in the future. I know exactly what to write on.

Dream Animals

Everyone talks about the house of their dreams, but for me, I don't really give too much of a crap. For me, it's all about the animals! Let's start with animals that I could actually own.

First up, dogs. I want three dogs. The first dog that I will get will be a Boston Terrier named... Bessie! I just think that'd be the perfect name for a Boston Terrier! While there are many variations, I'd prefer a perfectly black and white one, like this:



The next dog I own would have to be a black pug. While Stella is a fawn colored pug, I've always like black pugs better. There's just something about them. I don't have any good names planned for her (I'd be getting all female dogs, as they are far easier to train and take care of), but I was thinking maybe something Japanese. I'm open up to any suggestions!


My third an final dog is a tough one. I either want a white French Bulldog, a Chihuahua, or a Pomeranian. Small dogs are just easier to care for, cost less for maintenance, and live longer, so yeah.

On top of the three dogs, I want a Guinea Pig. Preferably, a black, white, and brown one, a brindle one, or a tan one. I'm in Guinea Pig withdrawal right now, because my mom left our two Guinea Pigs, Winny and Ginny, out in the sun too long and KILLED THEM!!!

Next, I want some sort of bird. The only problem is I want to train it to be affectionate and loving, but that takes a lot of work. While I like the idea of a Macaw and a Cockatoo, I think they might be too big, so probably an African Grey would be perfect. They are so intelligent, and if you've ever seen a video of Alex the Grey Parrot on Youtube, you'd want to run out and buy one!

I would also be interested in getting a reptile, most preferably a chameleon! I love their eyes, heads, feet, and tail. They're so exotic! The only problem, though, is that I read that they can't really be trained to socialize. Man, if only we could domesticate them more, they'd be the perfect pets!



Now, for the ones I wouldn't be able to own. First of, I think it would be amazing to have a camel. I was watching this documentary about a baby camel growing up in a zoo, and they are really affectionate. I would love to ride it everywhere when it grows up. That'd be so much fun!

On top of a camel, it would be really cool to own a pygmy hippo. This is another animal that was inspired by something I saw on TV. A giraffe would also be amazing!!!

And last, but not least, is the object of my affection.... a penguin! I'd want as many different penguins as I could get my hands on.

*sigh* If only having all of these animals was feasible......

If only I could....

I would like to share with you one of my favorite music videos, not only for the very relaxing song, but the setting and story. Enjoy!
