Apparently I have a thing for detectives from England. The Great Mouse Detective? Beautiful. That animation? In Big Ben? Hot diggity DANG. Or not, since it was traced over CGI--I've been fooled! But Disney animation is almost always very good anyway, and at least they traced over the CGI. Kudos, Disney. I used to watch this obsessively as a kid, and it's amazing. Suspension of disbelief here and there...and there, but I was totally in love with it. Basil is the cutest thing EVER. Basil of Baker Street is on my list of books I MUST read when I become independent.

And Sherlock Hound? I watched an ep in Italian. HAHAHA, I need to take more online lessons, but it was subbed in English, so it wasn't too bad. Sono detective privati! I understood that. Yay, cognates, and learning ONE form of "essere". It's just...I REALLY like the English voices (acting is sometimes off, but I'll live). Japanese Sherlock isn't bad, either! I never thought I would come to think of Mrs. Hudson as COOL, but she IS. Mystery series high right now, whooo.

Made icons. Now I have three English detectives for icons. |D Well, only if Luke counts...

Puking sounds great right now. Yet not. I want to puke and not deal with the acid eroding my esophagus deal. My sleeping schedule is so bad that this has been happening everyday this whole week. Uggghhh. I'm going to wait for that YouTube channel to post the non-Miyazaki directed eps. Those six episodes have totally made me want to watch more. Studying? Didn't go anywhere. *headdesks* I have violin lessons tomorrow. I didn't practice an inch even though I'm on spring break. I hope I won't have a headache in the morning. And I hope I wake up!

Break's spiraling down to a close. It also means my tests of death are catching up with me. I don't know how I'll survive. Panicky? Inside, yes, outside, I'm just tired. I wish I could get more chapters done. Nothing is sticking. I don't know why. Normally I can buckle down and just take in the info for, what, six hours straight, but this year, it's been really difficult. And this is the year I take A.P. classes. I wish I could say I feel like I've been getting smarter throughout high school, but, rather, it feels like my brain capacity is lessening every year.

Insomnia, and then oversleeping when it's X:00 AM in the morning...my head. is far from happy. And my brain does not exactly pick the nicest topics to think about when I have trouble sleeping. You'd think it would since I'm pretty sure it WANTS to sleep, but, no, no it doesn't. So I'm writing this post in hopes that my brain DOES think of nicer things! PLEASE.

Went with sis to Little Tokyo and fell asleep in her class. XDD; I didn't know what most of the molecules that guy was talking about was, but I did recognize those molecular chain reactions! Sodium-potassium pumps (I THINK)! Then I just crashed. Those lecture hall desks were better than the ones I used in UCLA for my SATII. DD| I chickened out of her art class because they were probably going to make me draw, and I was all, AACKNOOO, they'll SPEAK TO ME. *coughs* I escaped to the art library!...and fell asleep while trying to study. I have not gone past Chapter 8. This is SAD. I have, uh, what, 39 chapters to study now? This is only one class. My brain isn't very good at holding too much info at once.

Oh, let's go back to Little Tokyo since I'm too lazy to properly edit this entry to make it make sense. We bought. FOOD. There was a DEKA!melon pan, and I thought the name was cute, so I bought it. XD;; It's is rather big, I guess... I realized that I have terrible stamina--oh, wait, I've always known that.

Then to move on to a totally unrelated topic, Oboro Muramasa looks SO PRETTY. And it looks less repetitive than Odin Sphere! And the vertical climbing looks pretty fun. I bet I'll suck at it as much as I did OS, but, pshaw, no matter. Will definitely want when it comes out! Good luck doing a good localization, XSEED!

Ooh, look what I discovered at 1:00 AM! TA-DUM. Th-that's unbelievably cute. I'm gonna watch it. I always love the settings in Hayao Miyazaki's stuff. |D This reminds me of those years when I obsessively watched Disney's Robin Hood OVER AND OVER AND OVER as a kid! No, I don't know why. Wait. I think it was the badminton. HAHA. I don't even know what I'm writing. Whoo. I should probably stop watching and go to sleep.

I am so good at sticking my foot into my mouth, it isn't even funny. I hope I'm the only one who thinks I'm doing this though. Gahh, I get embarrassed so darn easily.

Oh. I am strangely attracted to this song. The name is translated "Poetry of the Gods," if I did my research correctly, and I think the song is by "姫神" HIMEKAMI? It's in ancient Japanese, I think...not sure where the lyrics come from. I also did a lot of martial arts research because I was researching which weapon to give Corey. Miao dao seemed best, and it fits since Corey really likes plants. It's both two-handed and one-handed, and it's cool. Here, proof: TA-DUM. They're friggin' long! I wish I had studied martial arts when I was younger. I probably wouldn't be so darn wobbly and scared to leave the house if I did. XD; Filipino martial arts are also really interesting! You should go look it up. |D Also getting ideas for the darn 1930's AU fighting game. It's so hard to assign weapons to each person! I still need to finalize the plot for it, too, arghh. It's worse trying to assign ethnicities to characters that don't have Earth-based races. Hoo, boy. I wish I were as productive as Lily-san!

I am now making a somewhat better ending to CF...except at the same time it's not better. Well, it leaves on a somewhat positive note...? I emphasize the somewhat. >_>;;

Currently disliking studying.

Since I have time to (although I was planning to study for A.P. exams and finals today), I did more research on hearing loss.

Eden of the East? just watched it with my sis, and WOW. I am impressed. They even got actors that can speak English and do a pretty good job acting! Whoohoo! I liked the character designs, too. I can tell they just took photos of LAX(What was I thinking?) the airport and filtered them, but I don't care. They poked fun at us Americans and I LOVED IT. The OP and ED animations made me cry tears of joy (not really, but they were awesome!).

Another distraction in the middle of my busy weeks!

Ahh, geez.

The TV on the other side of my wall (which is the TV in the living room) is NOT HELPING ME WORK. I don't know what my dad is doing, but he turned up the sound REALLY HIGH. I was going to finish my homework, but the TV's been stuffing my room full of noise pollution for hours. Now a movie's on.

Oh, and Ape Escape froze on me in the middle of my catching an annoying monkey. Not cool, man.
keyk: (Okay.)
Went and did more self-personality analysis via Myers-Briggs tests and results. I got INTP again, but I read about it, and a lot of it just doesn't match. That's the same way I felt with ISTP and INTJ and INFP, which are other results I've received in the past. I did research into other types and found one that seemed to really match. I'm not too sure about my acting on my values a lot, but I suppose I've been acting more as of late. I've certainly been bothered by my not being able to in the past. And now, I did challenge myself with acting (which I wanted to do when I was three) and got my parents to let me play the violin, whom were a pain to convince, let me tell you.

What personality type?
This type would be INFJ.

Since most of you have known me much longer than anyone else (aside from my immediate family), do you think this type matches me? Trust me; if you've taken the time to read at least five of my emo entries, you have a better idea than most others about my life. I can never get this result on those personality tests (not that those are the most accurate things in the world), but I do feel like this is closest to my actual personality.

When you suck at memorizing, you suck at trig. Case in point: me. Is it square root of 2 over 2 or square root of 3 over 2? What was that formula for sin (u+v) again? sin squared + cos squared equals...1? etc. etc. Got my second D of the year. Y'know, I really wish he'd give us back our quizzes much earlier than two days before the test. That would be very helpful. Gotta bring my grades back up before our college counselors tell me that I can't get into college or something. The number of crying seniors after they got their results back is really making me nervous. I've never seen this before...could the recession be a part of it? College apps in just a few months, gee-whiz. I still have SAT stuff to do, too. I guess I should study for the SAT this time. :/

Also, my English teacher is cool, but he gives us the stupidest assignments ever. No. No more colored pens. You're acting like my Spanish class! I want to flush you down a toilet. Now.
keyk: (Baah.)
OK.
SO.
All I have to do now is finish my "request classes for next year" stuff and study my butt off. UGH. I want to flush my English teacher down the toilet. So. Badly.

....
Oh, wait, there's still math homework. *headdesks*

Since I felt like looking Trace Memory up again, I finally realized that Another Code 2 has been out in Japan for over a month now. Europe has a release date! The U.S. does not! I hope they release it here, too. I really liked the story and the characters of the first one, and I wouldn't mind picking this one up!

So. Uhh. Cing did a really good job with the graphics of this one. Just look at them! The movements are really fluid and realistic, and DANG, is this really a Wii game?! They even captured Kanasaki Taisuke's art style really well with those 3D models. Truth be told, I had somewhat low expectations for this, and I'm still not too sure if I'll like the story, but I definitely like how it looks. ...Hey, that Matthew kid has the same face as D. His hair also looks creepily similar, but I think that's just to bait us D fans. He even has a dog tailing him, and D liked dogs (and I am probably the only one who remembers this). Come to think of it, that Ryan guy kind of looks like Bill.

So pretty. Do want. The wallpapers on the official site are really pretty. Eeee. ♥

My nails are a mess of multiple crayon shavings and smudged wax, and I have created an equally messy picture. You want to see traditional media from me? Then here you have it. 100% pencil sketch with crayons. No ruler used, so ignore the not straight-lines and imperfect perspective. This was an idea for the first chapter cover of Imagination Fall. Have a Dusk-y in his somewhat tacky coat. My sister's computer is now working, so I can now occasionally steal her scanner.

My webcomic pages are turning yellow, hahaha. Oops. Goes to show how much attention I've been paying it. I really should be doing homework though. But I've missed writing and drawing Hans ...drawing Zarenth's reactions is pretty fun, too. I'm so used to my new style that looking at my old pages is embarrassing and kind of weird, but I've totally lost my train of thought. Luckily, I haven't drawn too many other replicas yet, so I think it's easy to tell which one is Zarenth and which one is Hans in this newer style. I bet it's harder to estimate their ages now though, haha! Anyone who reads this will definitely notice the style change. It's really drastic. Everyone's suddenly lost 60% of their bodymass! 8DDD Ceire and Venild will look really different now, but I think Kai and Dale will still look similar. |D

I've made a fool out of myself a million times, but I need to get over it. I need to stop dwelling on these silly things. I'll just redeem myself at a later time...or just not think about it at all. If I'm going to make a bunch of alter-ego character, uh, stuff, I'd may as well learn from them, right? I wouldn't be so attached to the defensive Dusk or the insane Kieden if they didn't teach me stuff about myself that I need to fix. I'll try, but I can't just shrug it off. Oh, man, I bet I sound cheesy. And there I did it again. Pfft. In the immortal words of my current English teacher (not that he was referring to me): "Stop editing yourself!"

I am in the middle point between having a headache and being nauseous. My nose is irritated and this weather is drying my skin and making me itchy. Nothing terrible, but it's enough to annoy me. >_>; Geez, it's already April. It doesn't feel like it at all. Teachers cramming tests before spring break next week. Fun, fun.
keyk: (AAH!!!  MY BRAINZ!!)
I think I've fallen for all of the April Fool's jokes I've seen so far on lj. ....Hey. Hey, shush! I'm totally not gullible. D8 Really.

I put off some artsy project that was assigned a week ago to the last possible day, which is, uh, TODAY. Yeah. I'm so smart, I know. My sis is playing 80's music, which is pretty darn awesome. |DD I miss this stuff. It doesn't help that my English teacher made us compare "Synchronicity II" by Sting and Yeat's "The Second Coming." Ooh, them 80's music.

Oggi ho la nausea e ho mal di testa! I've been pretty nauseous lately. It is not pleasant. My headaches are getting worse and more frequent, yada yada blah! My innards still like making random pains that are annoying and uncomfortable. Darnit, I'm tired. In two weeks, I'll finally have spring break, but I'll be using a lot of time studying for finals and A.P. tests. Shoot me. I have no idea how I'm going to survive these.

Before I graduate from high school, I aspire to have better social skills. I've come to realize that the happy somewhat loud me is actually me, me, while the silent one is really not me, me. Being me, me is embarrassing and hard, but I will do my best! I need to get rid of all of this self-conscious nonsense somehow. It's going overboard.

EDIT: I want to draw my webcomic so badly--I want to finish this chapter! Finish the next! Get SOMEWHERE in the story! I-I have to use up my drawing energy for this assignment though. Boo. D|

I-I still haven't gotten past the "OH GOSH THIS IS EMBARRASSING WHAT AM I DOING" phase of RP-ing. Why. WHYYY. I can pretend to be perfectly okay mid-convo, but inside I'm just: THESE ARE PEOPLE. PEEEOOOPLE. THEY'RE JUDGING ME. DDDD8

Y'know. Typical Keyk stuff.

I don't know if RP-ing is good for me or not. I'll just retreat into my own stories in while I'm not on there. It scares the crud out of me, and yet I enjoy it, but, but...IT'S SCARY.

It's past 12:00 AM. Waah, sleep time.
keyk: (smile)
The week looks somewhat more restful than the others. I still have a project due Wednesday and had a quiz today, but it's not too bad compared to the other weeks. I just want to sleep, but if I do, I'm going to get a headache. >_>;; April as a whole will make me want to shoot at my feet though. Finals for two of my classes (the harder ones, uy) and AP tests. *shudders*

I'm tying a lot of loose ends in Centrifugal Force together! The title is actually a lot more relevant than it was when I first made it! Hurrah! The antagonist and protagonist jobs kept switching among the characters, but I think I have it down now. XD;; Hans is officially a book-freak. Vio has more development! Sadly, Knight doesn't. XD;; I also totally threw Mirror's (from Imagination Fall) old personality out the window. Now she's just...uh, wow. Totally different. Her backstory is still relatively the same, but she's not so boring (to me) anymore. I can't say I've made her anymore likable though. ^^;

I've decided to do plays again next school year. I'm caught between going to an all boy's school to do a Shakespeare play or doing Macbeth at my own school. Mind you, I am not a Shakespeare know-it-all (if anything, I'm a know-it-not), and, as popular as that play is, I have no idea what it's about. 8DD;; I don't know what the play at the other school is, but I do know I'd have to memorize a Shakespearean sonnet as an audition and perform it. Is it bad that I find sonnets hilarious? I do like Shakespeare's sonnets over most others, but even still, they're so...cheesy. It's the same feeling I get when I read Romeo and Juliet...just...no. I'm also going to be doing a lot of English stuff next year just so I can improve my horridly lame vocab and have an excuse to read. For choosing English classes, I don't know if I'm going to take Lit. of War and L.A. Noir and Mystery, or Lit. of War with Shakespeare...I could always stress myself out with papers and reading byt aking multiple English classes a semester. Papers, somehow, I'm okay with, but reading? Pfft, I'm a terrible reader. XD; Then again, if I'm doing plays, my access to a computer will be severely limited.

Female hormones are messing with my brain again. When I start off a day P.O.'d, I know what's coming. >_>;;

"You shouldn't play the violin. It's too up close to your ear, so it's too loud for you."
I just got back from my lessons, and this is what my mom tells me. Well then! You'd may as well stop taking me to school because, god forbid, the girls's loud, high-pitched voices will make me deaf, too! The teacher's booming voices even! Do you want me to stop singing? The choir's full of loud voices, don't you know! You'd may as well keep me locked up at home because, oh, dear, the city is just too loud! Do you want me to stop talking, too? I don't think you're aware of how loud my voice can get when I need it to be. Oh, no, I'll become deaf! I should stop doing anything that'll make me become deaf faster! I should just keep my hearing just for the sake of keeping it!

If I'm going to go deaf soon, I'm going to do what I CAN for as long as I can hear. I'm not going to invest all of my time to preserve it if it won't serve any meaningful purpose to me. Stuff it, mom. You're not helping.

On the other hand, the more she tries to make me not do something, the more I want to, and I guess that can be considered a good thing.

I'm not going to have my ears checked until spring break, it looks. We have time before then, but I guess this is more convenient for them. Whatever the result, hopefully I can still study and not stress out. If it turns out that I have it, hopefully I'll have the courage to spill my guts to someone. I'll probably be a mess.

Haha, guess who just got assigned another project. It's not all too bad, but I'm so darned tired. I haven't had much of an appetite lately. Even though it's that time. Guess I just gotta keep eating as I usually do!

Whew, next month is finals for my A.P. classes. The week after that week are the actual A.P. tests. I'm not very confident that I'll do too well in any of them...especially history, since I'm not at all good at it. Analyzing things has never been my strong point, be it English or history. A.P. Bio just looks like a pain. I can't imagine writing so many essays for that, and who knows just how brutal they'll be? I'm better at molecular stuff than just memorizing taxonomic things and experiment results. I hope they won't ask about an experiment we've never done before. I have to study a bunch for both of these. I hope I won't pass out or anything.

Some Friday in April. 3:00-6:30 PM. APUSH final
I...have no idea how I'll be alive enough to even DO this final. XD;
Some Saturday in April. 8:00-11:30 AM. APBio final
Ugh. I have to push back violin lessons again. Guess that means I can't put Friday off as my fun-day. :/

I'm more worried about how tired I'll be on those days. My ability to do anything drops significantly when I'm tired. Since I'm probably going to use these two teachers for recommendations, I can't make a bad impression, so I have to do well. I also need to schedule more SAT dates and start studying for the SATI.
keyk: (Burning Nekozawa)
So here I was going, "Finally. The quarter's over. I finally have a break week. Only two tests. That's not too bad." I tried being optimistic, um.

But, oooohhh, no.

English teacher gave us a pop quiz today (how on earth do you expect us to memorize a part of the script, doofus?) and an essay that is due tomorrow. He wasn't even here today. He needs to be flushed down a toilet. NOW. I have a precal quiz come Wednesday as well as a Spanish test. And, ooooh, boy, does the MC and FRQ for APUSH look a lot of fun right now. Okay, now that I've typed it up, it doesn't seem that bad. But...ugh, I feel like I've been doing nothing but papers, projects, and tests for the last four or five weeks. @_@;.....On the bright side, A.P. Bio seems pretty chill this week.

I hope.

On a different note, my hair got a lot of attention today. Eek, people. I expected more people to be upset that I lopped off my long-ish hair. I only got one. D8
