Lotsa Stuff

Happy February.

Last weekend orddu and remmie came to see us! (^__^)

We went to Starbucks *spit* and then off to the all you can eat Chinee Foo. *drools* I ate 3 plates [my average load] and then some pudding! We went to a bookshop too, Blackwells I think, and I was devistated to find no True Crime books - you know, the type that only give you the bare bones about murders, but are dirt cheap. To be honest I'd like books that give total in-depth descriptions and photos - autopsy ones too. Once I find a case that I like I want to know everything. I click on as many links, exhaust google and want to see everything that went on. Does my head in sometimes. God I'd love to be on a jury one time...

Anyhow, I bought "Chasing Dogma" so this really means I'd better see Chasing Amy. Anyone want to sell me a copy on video? and Transmetropolitan no. 5 - Lonely City.

After we went home we slept, Orddu and Remmie came round in the morning, and the afternoon was lost between me and meltie. We watched WarGames and a couple of other crap things, and then slept.

Monday I went to my new lectures, and got my timetable. It's a bit crap but I started the week off so positively. I had gotten my homework done before meltie got home.

Tuesday I had lectures all day and so collapsed at the end of it all.

Wednesday had off because my only lecture of the day was cancelled, and so I slept for a while, checked things and did the following;
washed up
cleaned kitchen benches
washed the kitchen floor
tidied the lounge
cleaned bathroom
cleaned toilet [!]
and did about 4 loads of washing, rotated them on all the radiators and made them all dry and put away.

I collapsed and meltie brought home food and pudding for a treat :)

Thursday I got to my only class of the day and realised that I'd not done the fucking homework. I was so disappointed in myself. One class, one week in and I've already messed something up.

Friday I had the adventures I told you about the other day, and then I went to kanji class to find that we had a test. I hadn't revised, got a filing mark and the teacher just told me to try when I explained to her that kanji just don't go in - I can't learn them.

I worked hard today, bought myself a new ring and some writing paper and then we went to HMV and I got 28 Days Later, The Green Mile, Edward Scissorhands and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. God you can't beat VHS for value, I love all my videos. I have 1 dvd, no player and I've not seen it yet [Blade Runner that meltie bought me].

Snuggled down with the housemate tosspot in tow to watch 28 days later. Watched film, emotionally collapsed, cried lots.

I think I need bed now, I've been listening to soothing music [Orbital, Mesh, Chicane and UB40(!)] and I've got a headache because meltie sneaked alcohol into my coke!

Interview with deeteeuk

1. Would you consider living in Japan permanently if you could?
I would, but it would be dependant on a number of things; If meltie and I were still together, he would have to be able to come with me. There's no way I'm doing long distance again, I'd rather be near a large city, so really Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto or Hiroshima/Nagasaki area.

2. If you could brind one facet of Japanese culture back here, be it a confectionery, custom, national characteristic, food or song, what would it be?
The crime level. I like that the most dangerous places in Japan are safe. I like that even the country has the death pentalty, only 6 - 7 people get sentenced to it a year. I like that there's no drugs and no gun crime because although the guns are cheap, bullets are to expensive to afford.

3. If you could give some advice to yourself from 10 years ago, what would it be?
Ignore the people at school, and for the love of god DO NOT HAVE YOUR HAIR CUT SHORT!!

4. If you were to imagine yourself in 10 years, what would stand out the most?
Hopefully my pink hair will still be there, whether I'm a mother, single or even a lesbian, I want to have pink hair.

5. What would you count as your biggest flaw? And what aspect of your personality are you most proud of?
I'm very paranoid. I need to know everything, all the time. Just to make sure people aren't talking about me or something like that. I always assume the worst. I'm quite proud of my personality in that I don't really hold grudges, I can usually forgive someone which makes me weak, but not such a buttpipe.

Usual thing, reply if you want to be interviewed [I never did this one before because of the sheer size of my friends list]
