~HARD TO SEE IN COLOR WHEN YOU'RE MISERABLE~

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 15:59:31 GMT

Uh-oh... it's been a while. Let's see... what have I been up to? Conventions, a bit of travelling, a lot of depression and school and work. That's about it. ~smile~

July

Work. Work. Work. Didn't get much else done (after Otakon). Not complaining tho, I really like my job. ~smile~

August

Again, mainly work. The last week was spent in Tokyo with Mayu-tachi. ~smile~ Had loads of fun, even went to karaoke, which I usually hate so so much. But since it was to cheer up K-chan who had just been dumpped by her boyfriend of 5 years ~sad face~, I made an exception. Also went to see Merry and girügamesh. The latter was kinda interesting since it was just me and Itsuki-kun (Mayu's boyfriend) and it was the first time ever we were alone together. ~laugh~ It went well though, we got along surprisingly well. ~smile~

September

Back to school and work. Always as interesting. ~laugh~ 5th-7th there was the traditional Dragon*Con in Atlanta with Sumera, Onye, Toru, Benzi, Hidecchi, Shino-san, Yu-chan, Ichi-nii, Ukai-sama, Cherry, Matt, Tobi-tan and Nao. I did Miku Hatsune for cosplay. ~smile~ (Note to self: beat Hidecchi to finally get the photos)

After that I spent a week lying in the bed: depression season again... ~sigh~ Well, it was pretty mild still since I was able to get up if needed and didn't lose my apetite completely. ~sad smile~ Finally started the meds. Of course it took a while, but they seem to be working alright. ~smile~

Next weekend is New York Anime Festival. I'm going with Sean, Yu-chan, Ukai-sama, Cherry, Tobi-tan, Hidecchi and Gaz. I was going to do some cosplay but since I've been quite off my game lately, I didn't have any time or interest to prepare a costume. I'm weird enough without any though. ~laugh~

So, that's it. ~smile~ Hopefully it won't take me months to update again. ~wink~

~WORK, DAMMIT!~

Fri, 03 Apr 2009 11:45:42 GMT

It's been a while. Well, nothing has happened anyway so I guess it would've been pointless to update before now. ~grin~ Not like something's happening now though. ~laugh~

I'm going to Okinawa for six weeks this summer. I'll be helping out at the dojo. Sean's coming along for a couple of weeks too but then he has to get back to work. ~sigh~ Which means I'll be spending most of the summer with Jiji. Toru is also going to Japan but he'll be staying in Tokyo for his internship. Other than this little trip, I have no plans for the summer just yet. I'd love to go travelling around some more since I haven't done much of that this year. ~grin~ I even spent spring break here in Boston, working. ~smile~ Hooray for me.

That's about it. Nothing ever happens. ~laugh~ Not complaining though, it's nice to lead an uneventful life. ~grin~

~PHOENIX ON CRACK~

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 17:04:54 GMT

I feel insane today. Well, more so than usual. Don't know why though... Could be the two whole pots of coffee and three bottles of coke I've jugged down. Could be the 12+ hours I spent playing P4 without a break. Could be the fact that I haven't slept in 28 hours. Or all of the above. ~laugh~ It's a happy day. Taking a break now and watching some Gintama since my fingers don't work well right now. ~smirk~

~ONEESAMA TO YONDE KUDASAI~

Thu, 05 Feb 2009 18:39:55 GMT

OMG! OMG! ~laugh~ Alright, so I never update. Let's just leave it at that. ~smirk~ Sooooo... 2009, eh? Christ! I feel old. ~laugh~

My baby sister was born on the 2nd! Whoop! ^O^ She was named Haruka (春花) Minerva. She's sooo cute! She was born three weeks early but she's doing well and she and mom should get home this weekend. ~smile~

I've been staying at the "Castle" -as Ani-chan named our parents' place over the Christmas break- for the past couple of weeks decorating Haru's room. I hope she'll like it. ~smirk~ Dad's been helping me out since he took some time off work (think that's the first time in 15 years or so ~grin~) and Benzi's lent a hand too. Miru's been stuck on depresso-mode for a while now so he hasn't been around much... But he's doing better now. ~smile~ What else, what else..? I'm still with Sean, only two months 'til our first anniversary! Whoo! ~laugh~ Hmm... I still work at the bar but now I get to waitress too since I'm finally 21! ~grin~ I just finished my bartending training too so now I get to tend the bar when KT is away. Lucky! ~laugh~ It's so much fun! ~smile~ Anyhoo... think that's about it... I should sleep. I've been up for about 30 hours and can't stop giggling. Well, Ukai-sama is with me so sleeping is probably not an option... Heh, giggling is goooood. ~laugh~

~GINGERBREAD~

Mon, 22 Dec 2008 17:49:46 GMT

Oopsie daisy! ~grin~ I keep forgetting to update. Hmm... well, I haven't been using my computer much in a while so no wonder really. ~smile~

I went to London earlier this month with Sean. We stayed at Chaz's place, which was really cool, good to have him back home. ~smile~ Also had dinner with Hermione and his girlfriend Zoë, did most of my Christmas shopping and so on. ~laugh~

Other than that little trip, life's been pretty boring: just work and some school stuff. ~sigh~ Now I'm staying at my parents' place preparing for Christmas. ~smile~ It'll be our first Christmas at home EVER. We've usually spent the holidays in Japan with our grandparents but since mom's pregnant, she can't fly so this year everyone's gathering here. ~smile~ We're also going to have some additional players this year because aunt Raven'll join us as well as both Pui and Kyo's families. ~smile~ Oh, joy!

Back to baking.

~THE HERO'S COME BACK!!~

Mon, 03 Nov 2008 12:22:53 GMT

Here's whats been going on:

I finished my internship last month and got back to work. I resigned my job at the store though and am currently working at a nightclub. I'm stuck cleaning the glasses and wiping tables 'til January (when I turn 21) but it's still kinda fun. ~smile~

The past two and a half weeks I've been really depressed and for a week I actually didn't even leave my apartment. Or the bed. ~sigh~ I'm up and about again now and feeling fine. I ended up going to a shrink and got anti-depressants... I haven't taken them yet. ~grin~ Not sure if I ever will... I just don't think they'll do me any good at the moment since being depressed is not that common for me. I just have an episode like this every once in a while. The last one was almost two years ago so it really doesn't happen that often. And yes, I am aware this matches the B2D criteria, which -considering Toru has been diagnosed with bi-polarity- isn't that far fetched but at least according to the good doctors, I'm mentally healthy and the depression episodes are not caused by any illness. Lucky.

That's about it. I should be back to my normal routine real soon so dontcha worry! ~smile~

x~Lenne~x

~MEET THE GRANDPARENTS~

Fri, 12 Sep 2008 18:32:10 GMT

Sean's coming to Boston tomorrow morning and will be staying for the whole weekend. My grandparents are also still in town so we'll have to have dinner with them. Again. Won't be so scary this time since we already did that last weekend. Well, to be honest, it wasn't really scary since Sean got along with Jiji and Oba really well. I'm always freaking out when my boyfriends meet either my parents or my grandparents since both pairs are... really weird. ~laugh~ Of course, I'm used to it and don't really get shocked no matter what they do or say, but I know not everyone has grown up with that so they might choke... It's not every guy that can handle the girl's grandfather reminding him to have safe sex. ~laugh~ But Sean did really well, but then again, his family's a little hippy too. ~smile~

Ukai-sama came over yesterday to watch some movies. He hasn't left yet. ~grin~ Of course, the bitch queen I am, I'm making him do the dishes and the cooking. My personal house slave. ~laugh~ He only has himself to blame since he never left. ~evil grin~ We've watched Queen of the Damned twice, a couple Disney's and some superhero movies. ~laugh~ Next up is No Rest for the Brave, which I personally really like. Yay. ~smile~ I'm just very tired so somehow it doesn't seem fitting... or then it's a perfect fit. Who knows...

x~Lenne~x

~BLAH BLAH BLAH~

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 13:48:15 GMT

I'm back, baby! Again. ~laugh~ Well, for good this time... At least 'til my next break. Blah. ~grin~ Anyhoo...

Okinawa: Four weeks of karate with 14 other "kids". That's about all we did since they didn't leave us much time for anything else. At least I'm in perfect fit now and finally got my dan. ~smile~

Atlanta: Dragon*Con was fun. There were eight of us: me, Toru, Benzi, Ichi-nii, Ava, Haku-chan, Lily and Sumera. We met Hidecchi, Shino-san and Tobi-tan there so it was pretty crowded at our base at Sumera's brother's place. ~grin~ Since the trip I've been suffering from a terrible summer flu tho so that sucks. Am not the only one, Toru and Ichi have been sick too. Poor us. ~sigh~

I was supposed to start my classes this Tuesday but since I've been sick, I'm starting them tomorrow. Sucks to miss the first classes 'cos then I'm completely lost there but what's a girl to do... ~sigh~

Also. I started my internship a couple of weeks ago. The one I was raving about a while back. ~grin~ Anyhoo, that's on for another three weeks. I've been totally bummed out about being sick 'cos I had such a great time working there. Even got along on a designing job so that's an added perk. ~smile~

Cough drops. Now.

x~Lenne~x

~TRIPPING~

Fri, 30 May 2008 15:27:51 GMT

Yu-chan and I were hanging out Tuesday and we were really bored so we hopped into my car and went on a roadtrip. ~laugh~ We ended up (here) in New York... Hooray for random trips! ~laugh~ We're staying at Zaaan and Rick's place. ~smile~ Going back home this weekend maybe on Sunday so I'll catch up with everyone then.

I still have a little while before my crazy all-summer-long-trip-around-the-world starts. ~smirk~ I'm leaving for Spain on June 14th to see my relatives and then off to UK for my friends. Then I'm taking a detour through LA and coming back home on the 6th of July. Staying for few days before the month-long karate training in Okinawa. And then it's already August! ~sigh~ Summer's so short... I log all my trips on Wayn so you can always check where the heck I am if I disappear for a long time. ~smile~

Have a nice summer, see you sometime! ~kiss~

Thu, 13 Mar 2008 19:53:52 GMT

Ta-dah! Back again! ~laugh~ Updating on my life again...

Last weekend I went to Neo Noh Con with Hidecchi, Dan and Ukai-sama. Of course the convention got cancelled. Why didn't we know that beforehand? Wish I knew! ~laugh~ We didn't care tho and just walked around in our cosplay costumes the whole weekend. ~laugh~ We didn't really get to go anywhere since the weather was so crappy but the people in Jay's building were very amused. ~smirk~ And we weren't even the only ones: there were a couple of Narutards wandering the halls too! ~laugh~

Well, since the con trip was a total bust, I invited all the guys to join me in Chicago on Tuesday for Taste of Chaos. That was a little more successful trip. ~grin~ I even got to meet the guys of The Underneath! Way cool! ~shine~ We stayed a couple extra days in Chicago with my friends' Denny and Joy's place. Joy wasn't around tho since he's doing a specializing internship (or whatever...) in New York. He's a pediatrician. Anyhoo, they have the cutest little girls! I don't even like kids that much but damn, I really wanted to take them home with me. ~laugh~

Next on my list is Japan Night in Cambridge next Monday. Tagging along: Toru, Benzi, Hidecchi, Shino-san, Nao, Ichi-nii, Tobi-tan, Lily, Ukai-sama, Haku-chan and Gaz. Haha, we're gonna need a bus to get everyone to fit! ~laugh~ At least, it will be fun, the night just can't be boring when Hidecchi and Tobi-tan are together. ~wink~ A walking disaster + A walking disaster = a night to remember! ~laugh~

Ahhh... can't wait 'til Wednesday! That's when I'm leaving for France! Woohoo! ~dance~ I'm flying to Paris first and then off to Amiens from there. I'll still have my laptop (which I just got this week, yay!) with me so I'll be able to update and do IM. Technically that is. Don't know if I have time for that though. ~grin~ Anyhoo, I'm staying in Amiens 'til the 25th and then flying to Tokyo to stay with Mayu. ~smile~ And of course there is the X Japan concert. <3

Hmm... Toru's coming over today for dinner. And dad's home too so it'll be a real family dinner. Yay! Haven't had one in ages since dad's been pretty busy and Toru... well, Toru is Toru. ~smirk~ He seems to be getting more social though, which is great. He's come along way since the time he didn't leave the house for months and that's great. ~smile~ He even FINALLY promised to come to kendo practice tomorrow! I've been begging him for months and he finally promised to come. Big day for me! ~laugh~ I've been waiting so long for an opportunity to kick his ass! ~grin~ Well, outside PSX world that is. ~laugh~

I want ice cream... Then again, dinner's in couple of hours. Like that'd stop me! ~wink~

x~Lenne~x

~FINALLY ONLINE~

Tue, 04 Mar 2008 08:19:35 GMT

Sheesh... Just my luck to get sick when there's not even an epidemic around. ~sigh~ I got stomach flu and spend three days puking my guts out -'til I had to go to the hospital to get some fluids. No fun. ~sigh~ Anyhoo, spent a couple of days in the hospital and now just been laying flat for a week or so. Getting better now tho and even went back to school today (or is it yesterday..?) ~smile~

The regrettable thing is, that now I have to work twice as hard to get my school work done by the time I leave for France. Dammit. ~sigh~ Oh well, can't be helped. Sucks to be me this month. ~grin~

x~Lenne~x

~SLEEPLESS~

Sun, 17 Feb 2008 16:56:45 GMT

I'm feeling itsy-bitsy silly. I didn't sleep at all last night and now I've reached the giggly-stage of tiredness. ~laugh~

Last night we went to see Hidecchi's band (PAYING WITH NAIVETY) at Drake. Already saw 'em two weeks ago when they played for the first time in over a year. ~smile~ Anyhoo, they were awesome as always. ~smile~ In the end I was pretty wasted 'cos I kept sitting in the bar and let this dude by me drinks. I think his name was Sam... ~grin~ Well, around 2am I thank my benefactor for the drinks, gave him a kiss and then left with Nao! ~laugh~ Nao took me home (since he's an absolutist, he's always the designated driver). We stayed up talking and watching Kurosawa movies 'til morning and when he left, I opened my computer and well, here I am. ~smirk~

Tonight I'm going to Toru and Benzi's for dinner. Mom's coming too. Dad's still in China on a business trip but he should be back on Wednesday. ~smile~

I'm wearing a cape.

x~Lenne~x

~A VALENTINE ON VALENTINE'S DAY~

Thu, 14 Feb 2008 14:52:35 GMT

I'm staying at Toru and Benzi's again before class and decided to try out PhotoShop. Harder than it looks. ~smirk~

I love Jan! ~sigh~

x~Lenne~x

~LET ME REST IN PEACE~

Tue, 12 Feb 2008 14:51:55 GMT

I'm so tired! ~yawn~ I only got about two hours sleep last night. For most parts I only have myself to blame since I played DMC 4 'til midnight. But let's also blame Ukai-sama for that because he's the one that got me the game in the first place. ~grin~ Anyhoo... When I had finally let Dante rest, Toru called me. Being a good big sister and all that shit I of course couldn't hang up on him until he had poured all his problems on me. Well, he didn't really have any problems, he just felt slightly depressed and needed someone to talk to about it. Still... When he finally stopped and hung up, it was already 2.30am~ish. So, in the end I had time to sleep up 'til 5am when I had to get up to get ready for my yoga class -for which I have to drive all the way to the city. ~sigh~ Now I'm at Toru and Benzi's killing time 'til I have to get to class... Luckily I only have one lecture today so I might even get a chance to take a nap before French. ~yawn~

Just kill me now. ~grin~

x~Lenne~x

~PROS AND CONS~

Mon, 11 Feb 2008 14:29:12 GMT

Whoppee! Just talked to Dan over MSN and he promised to come to the Neo Noh Con at Amherst next month! Yay! That means I'll get photos of my Al Azif-cosplay (Demonbane). Well, if I get to finish my costume in time that is... ~sigh~ There aren't enough hours in the day to do everything. Grr... I have tons of school projects to work on, trips and events to plan and the apartment to worry about -although that's something I really don't have to do, I just can't help it. ~grin~ Doih...

x~Lenne~x

~AWESEOM~

Fri, 08 Feb 2008 19:19:08 GMT

Fuck GreatestJournal! ~cry~ Damn thing died on me... and on every other sad emo kid too. Well, since it can't be helped, I'll settle here once again. ~smile~

I'm currently living at my parents' place while my apartment is being remodeled (they're knocking down few walls and joining my apartment with the dublex next door). I'm definitely not complaining tho since I will get a 3-room-apartment with an actual kitchen and 2 bathrooms! ~drool~ Besides, no one can complain when they're staying in my parents' mansion. ~wink~

Other news that make me the happiest being in the world: I might get a paid internship with a local (interior) designer! Yay! ~smirk~ It would be for 3 months and the pay is awesome! Plus, I'd still have time to work at the store so I'd have no problems paying for my raised rent. Fingers crossed now, loves! ~fingers crossed~

I'm getting a new car today! Yay! ~big grin~ Well, technically it's my first car if you don't count the one that Toru and I when we both lived at home. Anywho, dad's buying it for me as my 20th birthday present (Toru got an apartment so no biggie ~smirk~). Knowing our dad I just can't have a used barely running vehicle but something new and shine. So not complaining although it does kinda ruin my perfectly built illusion of independency. ~laugh~

x~Lenne~x
