Sooo, I definitely fell in love with Thailand and the people I met there, aaand I definitely cried when I left. Buuuuut...I have been researching on places I can learn Thai so that I can go on an exchange program part of my junior year. If all my plans work out the way I want them to, then we would keep a Japanese exchange student for 3 months, then the program will pay for me to go spend 3 months in Japan that summer, then I would use money that I would hopefully have saved by then to buy a plane ticket into Chiang Mai (I'll have to probably go through Bangkok and change flights, but that doesn't really matter), and then I could stay there for a semester, then go back to America (unfortunately). Anywho, I got to stop in Tokyo on the flight from Seoul to Los Angeles, which was fun because on the way back to America, I just went to the back of the plane, tried to read a Japanese newspaper (all I got from it was something about a big sale, the New York Yankees, and the people Tom Cruise have had relationships with) and had some small conversation in Nihongo with the Japanese people who needed to go to the bathroom. That was more fun than a box full of Cracker Jacks. Anywho, loved the trip, loved the people, don't want to be in America, and I'm counting the days until I go back.

since you all rock I think you should check out my awesome Xanga site >> I have another one, but it currently looks like crap, so don't even ask about it as of now ><

mm...a whole bucket of vanilla ice cream, and then some!! :9 Who needs this lactose intolerant business? >>

Vanilla ice cream in the rain :D

I am....chimera

EEEK!!!!! Guess whaaat?!?!? Sooo, I was looking at my flight schedule, and I figured out that I have a 3-4 hour layover in Seoul, and a 6-7 hour layover in Bangkok!! How awesome is that?!?!? (*is going to buy all the Korean stuff she can get*)

*eats a hail ball* mmm...I love spastic Colorado weather ^-^

You feel silence in its presence
You feel joy when its here
And feel anger when its gone
It hurts
It bites
It tears
Just the thought of something gone wrong raises welts on smooth skin
But we need it
We cannot live without
And yet, it still holds a mystery to all

I HATE SNOW DAYS!!!! Stupid weather...maybe I should move to Florida...

Gah!! Snow!! Will it ever stop?!?!? Believe it or not, I really, really don't want a snow day tomorrow!!! (Purposes other than school itself...) Plus, if we have a snow day tomorrow, that means that we have a day taken out of our summer vacation...=.=

"Hanging By a Moment"
By Lifehouse

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
I'm chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me

Now I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and I'm not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you

There's nothing else to lose
There's nothing else to find
There's nothing in the world
That could change my mind
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
There is nothing else

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
I'm chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and I'm not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you
Just hanging by a moment
Hanging by a moment
Hanging by a moment
Hanging by a moment here with you

I want to run away, I want to ditch my life
Because all my mistakes keep me awake at night...

"Let It All Out"
By Relient K

Let it all out
get it all out
rip it out remove it
don't be alarmed
when the wound begins to bleed

cause we're so scared to find out
what this life's all about
so scared we're going to lose it
not knowing all along
that's exactly what we need

and today I will trust you with confidence
of a man who's never known defeat
but tomorrow, upon hearing what I did
I will stare at you in disbelief
oh, inconsistent me
crying out for consistency

and you said I know that this will hurt
but if I don't break your heart then things will just get worse
If the burden seems too much to bear
Remember
the end will justify the pain it took to get us there

and I'll let it be known
at times I have shown
signs of all my weakness
but somewhere in me
there is strength

and you promise me
that you believe
in time I will defeat this
cause somewhere in me
there is strength

and today I will trust you with the confidence
of a man who's never known defeat
and I'll try my best to just forget
that that man isn't me

reach out to me
make my heart brand new
every beat will be for you
for you

and I know you know
you touched my life
when you touched my heavy heart and made it light

Just realized that when I started drawing anime was a little more than two years ago (since January...) o.o Before then, I barely drew at all...Awesome!! Maybe I'll put up a really embarrassingly-ugly picture that I drew when I first started...

I hate this. Why didn't I die before now so I wouldn't have to suffer? I'm almost positive things are okay right now, but after what happened, I feel kind-of helpless. I'm like a dead fish...

Ah, well. I wonder if he knows that just a small thing like this could get me so depressed. They really should get me on medication...

He was the quiet one. Maybe that's why I was so intrigued. How could anyone sit and listen to the teacher for that long without going insane? That's what I wanted to know.

"I fully realize that I have
not succeeded in answering all
of your questions........indeed,
I feel I have not answered any
of them completely. The answers
I have found only serve to raise
a whole new set of questions, which
only lead to more problems, some
of which we weren't even aware were
problems.
To sum it all up........in some ways
I feel we are as confused as ever,
but I believe we are confused on
a higher level, and about more
important things."

most people say that "oh, you'd be cute together". But it's so much more than that...

It feels that all the crap in my life has just been adding up so he could help me through it. I swear, I have never connected with someone and felt so comfortable with them at the same time as much as I have with him in only the past couple of weeks. It's like everything bad in my life just doesn't matter anymore. All the previous love interests and the crap I deal with at home has nothing on this. I care for him so much, and he cares for me, and there is nothing better than that.

hmm...so he was giving me clues to who his crush is, and so finally during 6th period, I asked if it was me and he gives this look, sighs, and says "yes" ^-^ it was wierd, like relationship "20 questions" or something...
