Randomness and Occasional Intelligence

I'm giving up on love

2008-07-17T05:14:02Z

...'cause love's given up on me. Or at least a friend has...asshole. Please excuse my English, but I'm a bit distraught here. That's one less person to mention when I receive a Tony! The worst part is, now I'm sad when I watch the Labyrinth, because he knows how to contact juggle. T_T damn...I need a hug...

Hey it's me!! I'm aliiiive!!! yeah... wow, I've really neglected this. I have a myspace, facebook, Gaia, and a Deviantart in addition to this crazy journal. which is more of a rantspot. oh, well. I'll probably be more active in the future, especially 'cause I just graduated from High school!! w00t!!! super-exciting. so, anyways, go check out my deviantart, I'm 1ari-chan, and look at the new(ish) arts!

yeah

2007-10-10T07:09:49Z

haha...I really don't have time for this...
School's started again, and Homecoming was last weekend. It rocked. I wore a gorgeous Mandarin gown and danced, sang, and played DDR all night. Plus, we finally won a football game! I have a band competition Saturday, and my first choir concert is Thursday.^^ I'm playing piano again, this time in a duet.

Today, I nearly got into a fight because some underclassman went off on a tangent thinking I pushed her...she started screaming at me and threatening to "crack my face". yeah. I'd like to see her try, and said as much. she replied with the unbelievably courageous line "if the teacher weren't here....." uh-huh. suuuuure. whoo, that was my amazing rant of the day!

wow..

2007-02-23T20:49:07Z

So...I haven't posted here in ages...

Life's been going up and down; choir rocks, we have a competition today, but I don't really like some of the girls in the group. I'm taking a class at a community college, so I didn't have time to try out for the spring play : (, but I can get on the computer more freely there. I reopened my Gaia art shop, go check it out: find Senchou Ari Mizuko, click on [see posts] and find my shop. ...yeah...

Hey y'all! It's been a crazy few months, lots going on.
First, I was on a props crew for the Masquers show, Separate Tables, and it went great. Next the football team had an UNDEFEATED season, and the first playoff game is tonight. Wish us luck!

Choir has also been fabulous, we've been to two festivals, one of which we hosted, and performed wonderfully. I actually get to accompany us this year, and I'm really excited.

I'm actually typing this from my school's Star Wars club, which was an excuse to a)be indoors, b)have access to a computer, and c)be near at least semi-interesting people. Love you all, but PLEASE comment!

Owari! <3

hi again

2006-09-13T14:20:37Z

well, back at school now; it sucks, except all my teachers except one lets me leave my textbooks at home! That's really good since I have about 6 textbooks. I'm actually doing my homework ON TIME. *gasp*

Right before school started, I went to Orlando, Florida with my school's football team. Awesome, right? Absolutely! We won 35-6, and I spent some time at each park except Animal Kingom and the water parks. I LOVED Epcot. It's so fabulous!

Back to school-y things, I have a seminar (15-20 min. report) due in 2 weeks for AP US History. X_x I shall die. eh. owari.

Alaska!

2006-08-06T17:21:30Z

Here I am,posting an entry from Denali National Perk in Alaska. I'm so glad this hotel has internet, but I'm only staying here one night. Hopefully the cruise ship has internet, too! *crosses fingers* I've been so busy, Today's tour started at 5:30AM. It's hard to fall asleep, because it's still daytime even after 10:00pm. I love it!

I recently got back from Arizona, where I was visiting family. I got to see POTC:DMC at midnight, and it was great; (highlight for spoiler) but the ending was AWFUL! How the hell did Barbossa survive?? Jack the monkey is kawaii as usual, though. It was absolutely fabulous.

Yesterday I went to Balboa beach with the Life Teen group from my church, it was a Mass on the Beach special outing deal. I had a blast, got even darker, etc., etc.

I'm having a rockin' summer, how 'bout you?

summer

2006-06-20T20:12:16Z

I love summer, I really do. Especially the days when both my parents are working at the same time and I can update this thing. 0.~

anyways, I'm in a choir called Les Chanteuses, and we're going to Seattle next year! COFFEE! This will be awesome because last year we went to Las Vegas and there were no coffeepots in the hotel. The place had a TALKING ELEVATOR and a THIRTEENTH FLOOR but no bleedin' COFFEEPOT.

Ahem. Now that my indignant rant about a coffee-free tour is over, I just want to say that sitting on one's rear for hours at a time while about 800 people walk onto the stage one by one to get a little book cover is just annoying. The choir gets to sing all of TWO songs, and just sits through the rest. The only thing worse than the sitting is the standing through the speeches. Standing and waiting is awful. Standing and DOING something is not so bad. Even RUNNING isn't that bad.

More ranting. Gotta love it.

One more thing. I like feedback. How else am I supposed to know if I write well or crappily?

Well, I got a bit burnt today at a carwash, but I had a blast at the after-party. Today is busy. I don't have time to enter speed_rent today, and probably not tomorrow, either. But I do get to watch the RENT movie again at a party! w00t! (and no, I can't see it whenever I want 'cause my parents won't buy it for me. boo.) GO BLACK BANSHEES!!

Reminisce 

I remember the day I sold that dog.  

My shop had been open for a month. I was proud to have my own store to give animals good homes. I had finally found this place after earning my vet’s license the previous year.  

Anyways, that day, a woman entered my still-new shop in search of a lap-dog. She introduced herself as Alison Grey. After about an hour of searching, she chose a lovely Akita female. 

Years passed. She always returned here for the Akita’s medial need and supplies. The lively puppy was named Evita. Not really a name I would choose for a pet, but it fit the little chatterbox. And she was a loudmouth. She only stopped yapping to eat and sleep. Excepting those two vital activities, she never shut up. Ever. I had advised Ms. Grey to keep Evita indoors, as she might bother the neighbors; I am not sure whether or not she listened. 

Not too long ago, Evita started being accompanied by a bald dark-skinned man by the name of Benjamin Coffin III. He claimed to have married Ms. Grey, and I see that it is true. However, he did not seem quite as enamored of Evita as had Ms. Grey. 

I received news of Evita’s death when a sobbing Mrs. Coffin stormed into my shop and handed me an invitation to her funeral.

Damned Picture Box

Eclipse walked down a cool stone corridor near his lord's room. The young demon lord had been scarce all morning. When he, and everyone else for that matter, did not show for breakfast, Eclipse began a search for the missing household.

Eclipse quickened his place as he heard music coming from the vague direction of one of the smaller studies. As he neared the entrance to that room, some lyrics could be distinguished.

It tastes the same...
...If you close your eyes...

Eclipse entered the room where some people in a restaurant on a small screen were emitting a deafening sound. Erutis, Chris, and Raenef were all singing along. Loudly. And dancing.

Emotion, Devotion, to causing a commotion,
Creation, vacation...

The older demon paled at the next words that came out of that damned picture box and the younger demon's mouth.

I've finally posted my first fic ever. It's in the speed_rent community, called Reminisce, go check it out! I'm posting a new one today, as well.

HELP!

2006-05-10T19:46:11Z

So last week, I had my wisdom teeth removed. I lived on Jamba Juice, ice cream, and mashed beans for the weekend. oh well. At least I didn't need anything stronger than Tylenol. >.< But I'm fine now.

This week is audition week. Monday I did my vocal audition for choir, yesterday I auditioned for Masquers, the advanced production (theater) group, thursday is the choir dance audition, and friday is Masquer callbacks. *crosses fingers*

In other news, I'm actually in the process of writing a JTHM ficlet that should be up within a week or two. Owari!

Spring Break & Comps

2006-04-03T18:27:35Z

So. In some ways it's good, in some ways it's bad. I'm not going to school this week.

Bad: HW. Why the hell do teachers feel the need to ruin vaction time with excessive homework? I have three essays, a math worksheet on *shudder* proof by induction, and two Spanish worksheets. Also, I don't get out much 'cause I'm on a VERY short leash and will be spending the first half of the week at home all by my self.

Good: Comps. I had a winterguard competition Saturday 1/4. We tied for first and I had loads of fun. I leave for Las Vegas on Thursday for a choir competition. We'll also get to see Hairspray!
The best thing though is I get to sleep in!

w00t!

2006-03-20T23:58:56Z

So I've just had two really busy weekends and now have the stupid cahsee to look forward to tomorrow XP.
Good things though: a choir I'm in won two competitions last week, and winterguard got second this week. I also auditioned for a summer musical and had a piano recital. Now I just want to sleep! I'm nowhere near starting or ending any stories yet (poo) so y'all're just gonna have to be pacient. ^.^

eh...

First, To People who are in the Literate Roleplaying Guild on Gaiaonline, I'm terribly sorry to have abandoned my account, but my computer died and the new one has this moronic parental control that prevents me from logging in.

I'm happy to have finally found a communication device that does not use a direct link to log in, which means I can post all I want. It also means that this is my main form of communication, as my e-mail doesn't work. >.
