Taken from SenateInsanity:

10 things you want to do this summer:

- Build my collection of novels with brightly-colored covers. They make my shelves look pretty
- Continue my current obsession with fame, fortune, decadance and Andy Warhol
- Draw the insides of all my neighbors' houses (I wouldn't actually go in, of course. Just imagine.) as well as all my neighbors (I have next to no idea what they look like, but it would be fun)
- Have some adventures: I'll go someplace I've never been before and soak up my surroundings
- Think of something really make-you-want-to-take-a-cold-shower weird and draw it
- Learn as much as possible about the avant-garde art, music, movies and novels, or rather, about their creators
- Buy as many new CDs as humanly possible
- Completely change my appearance. A 180 so I can surprise everyone next school year

I like you very much...just be careful you
don't scare me away...


What genre of rock are you?
brought to you by Quizilla


Waha! XD How did I know?!

Whoaa~~~ it's been a hell of a long time since I've updated, hasn't it? Most of that's because I've just finished hosting an exchange student from Japan (3 wks of no computer! It's in my room, which is exactly where I wasn't!) Hahhh... A wonderful experience, though.

Anyway, I've just discovered the amazing persona of Andy Warhol... It makes me want to be the second coming of Andy Warhol! That's difficult though: he was quite the human being. He not only did some awesome revolutionary silkscreening, but also made controversial underground movies, had his own entourage (including crossdressers, artists, freeloaders, personal entertainers, moviemakers, idea-generators, lovers... all his 'superstars'), his own rock band (The Velvet Underground) and his own traveling multimedia show. Intriguing.
But was even more interesting was his mind... he seemed to care about other people, but he didn't want to. It would be so much easier, he said, to be a machine, as machines don't have to care about anything. He was distant from other people, yet he constantly surrounded himself with them, rarely saying anything, but prodding them to give him details about their lives and the latest gossip. He was obsessed with fame and fortune, pulling people of high standing into his circles and trying anything and everything to get noticed. Really, very amazing...

I finished my Rock Mandala later the day it was due. She ended up giving me a 38/40 on it because it apparently does not include anything from another culture and it does not have at least four concentric circles.
I tried to explain to her before I handed it in that Visual Kei Rock was, in fact, something uniquely Japanese, but I guess since it's somthing modern, it obviously doesn't qualify. As for those circles, I can see five.
But it really doesn't matter. It's not like I failed and I got an A in that class. Besides, I didn't do it for her.

My 'name':

P- Pennies are useful, really. Especially when you go to seven-eleven and they have take-a-penny, leave-a-penny. You can make up stories about where the pennies have been, too. Like this one in my hand. It's old and tarnished, almost black with age. It says 1967 on the edge. In 1972 it was at the bottom of a river, dropped carelessly in by someone making a wish. Then, in 1984 it was stepped on by Ric Ocasek, songwriter for The Cars. In 1990 my future best friend picked it up in her little hand and was about to put it in her mouth when her mother stopped her. Now I've just picked it up from the little dish at Seven-Eleven and I am totally unaware of its history. Amazing.

E- Everyone has their own life story. It's really very mind-boggling, when you think about it. Every single person you passed on the street today, glanced at over a coffee cup in the Starbucks across the street, tossed a few quarters to out of pity- all of them have their own individual story, which leads up to all the little complications and imperfections in their personality.

N- Nowhere on earth is there a quiet place. Or if there is, I have yet to hear of it, so to speak. Even in the darkest, deepest caves you can hear the dripping of water from stalactite to stalagmite, and under the ocean, miles from the surface, you can still hear your own breathing.

H- Home is wherever you want it to be. I need to travel. I want to go to Mexico, Japan, Korea, Russia and all over the world until I find the most interesting people possible. I want the courage and extroversion to do this.

A- A day will come when I am the saddest I have ever been in my entire life. On this day I will probably do something very bad to myself or someone else, and I hope the damage will be minimal.

L- Light is mesmerizing, especially when it comes from a candle. Someday I will build a collection of candles so that I can light them all at once, all in the same room. I will keep them lit until they all melt down into their original lumps of wax. After that, I will find a giant pot and mix them all together, then make one huge candle out of their remains.

I- I am no better or worse than anyone else. Even the people I dislike most have some good points, whether I am able to see them or not. Anyone who asserts that they are, in fact, better than I am or that I am better than them has not realized this yet.

G- Good things take time to build. Too bad I'm a procrastinator. That means all my good things are slapped together at the last minute.

E- Every day, someone dies. That will be me someday. If this is the case, and it is, my greatest fear is amounting to absolutely nothing. I don't want to go unremembered for so long that the remains of my tombstone are bulldozed away to make room for some other similarly fated cadaver. I want someone to remember me for a long time.

L- Long waits aren't necessarily that bad. When I'm waiting, I have time to think. I can think about anything at all~ I could think of the details of entire made-up civilizations, the real meanings of films I've seen that, prior to my wait, confused me to no end, or think about what I'm waiting for and how to prepare for it. That will help me make the right decision when I finally get there.

L- Lilac is really not a good color to paint a car. If I'm going to paint a car, I will paint it a color that catches peoples' attention. I might catch some nice attention.

E- Envy will get me nowhere. If I want to be something, I will be it.

... it's very interesting, really. It had a collection of gods which had quite unique attributes. Go here to learn more.
That's one of my main interests, I guess~ mythology and legends. It's really nice for when I'm reading fantasy books (Harry Potter, for example): I can recognize almost anything.

My room is messy. I am not a photographer. Here are some pics:

People really disgust me sometimes.

For example, a while ago there was this guy ('friend' of one of my friends) who would hit on my friends and me (he wasn't the disgusting one, though). A girl who sits near me at lunch and one of my friends got really annoyed about that and told him bluntly to eff off. He's usually really depressed and someone (seriously) brought up that he might kill himself since he was really into one of my friends.
And the girl from my table said that if he died she'd celebrate~ she wouldn't care and she'd be glad he was gone, and my 'friend' agreed with her. I asked them if they were really serious about that and they said of course they were- who would want that guy around?
I'm astonished that they could even joke about that. Suicide, especially from someone as well-meaning as him, is nothing to be happy about. Last Easter, a family friend of my best friend committed suicide, and I felt depressed the next few weeks. I didn't even know him, and it impacted me that much. It's really saddening to see someone laughing about that.

Which Jrock Queen Are You? by Youko Triumph

Yay! I'm Queen Shinya!

Well, I feel very very unproductive: blogging, sitting around, reading online fiction all the time today. That's been one of my main problems right now: I feel unproductive unless all my work is done and I'm drawing or painting dilligently. I wonder what put me into this mentality- most people my age (in my experience) are idle nearly 24/7. I feel like I need to amount to something right *now* and not a second later.
