And Today the World Is..

"Not fair, sky.  I'm the one who feels like crying."- Alphonse Elric, FullMetal Alchemist

I love that quote.  I don't feel like that right now, but I really love that quite.  It is perfect for a rainy day.

So.  I really just realized that I've only been at college for a little over a week.  It's like Grinnell; it really is easy to meet people and make friends.  I remember this time last week thinking it was impossible, but look at me now?  Okay, it's not like I have 100 intimate friends yet, but I'm making my way, and along that way, I am making friends.  It feels like I've been here for forever though.  Was there anything before college?  I vaguely remember high school now: of course my friends stand out a little clearer in my mind, but only so much as they now represent an email in my inbox or a message on facebook, or even the occasional phone call.  Life is here and now, at this college, down this hall, and what was before really...does not count here.  And I'm amazed that I just realized that now.

It cannot have been only ten days ago that I moved in here.  The possibility of that- when I already feel at home here!- is non-existent.  I have been sitting in this room for forever; I have known no other desk, no other bed, no other window, no other view, no other friends...I have known nothing until I came here. Is that possible?

Last entry's quote is much more fitting- "Where did I come from?  Where will I go?"

After the Ball...

"Where did I come from?  Where will I go?"- Lust, FullMetal Alchemist

I love that quote, and right now, that's how I feel inside.

I just got back from Otakon yesterday, and it was awesome!  I don't know if it's because of all the manga I bought, the (little) Ed plushie I purchased, seeing the FMA Movie a month before it's released, or hanging out with Rei-chan...but probably a combination of all of the above.  Going to the FMA, DMP, and June panels were fun, meeting new people is awesome, and getting into "Yellow"...all of that was very cool.  I bought a L'arc~en~ciel CD "awake", and Gackt's "The Sixth Day" for very good prices...that was awesome too.  Seeing the FMA Movie made my Friday...I now must own the DVD when it comes out Sept. 12, because I'm...obsessed with FMA and my life will not be complete without it...Watching Loveless again was great too- haven watched that since March!  Seeing all those cosplayers ands getting their photos...that was pretty fun!  It was all, over-all, more than I'd expected, so much more.

I can't believe it's over...and I've decided that this will not be my last anime convention...

But the best thing was hanging out with Rachel!  I hope we can hang out like this again!  No, I know we will!

As for that "Currently Listening"...that is my new favorite song ever!!!  And it has nothing to do with it being the FMA Movie ending song!

"I never argue with an idiot.  They drag me down to their level, and then beat me with experience." -Hiei, YuYu Hakusho

This moment's anime quote of the, er, moment!  And moving on...

Why am I using my high school's colors again?  Ah, maybe because I saw Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest on Friday!  (of, that was corny of me...)  Anyway, I thought it was really good- I'd even want to go see it again, provided that I'm with friends.  Anyway, I'm not going to give anything away...except that (yay) Norrington's in this one!  And since I like Jack/Norrington, that made me happy.

What doesn't make me happy is...after working all day on my laptop...it still does not work.  I'm going to go fix it now.  Ciao!

"Dying in the line of duty is heroic, but dying while unemployed is just stupid." -L, Death Note

I have decided to do anime quote of the, er, moment.  And that is mine right now.  I just love it, because, well, I was reading Death Note yesterday when I should have been cleaning my room and I came upon that quote and...I liked it.  I still do...

Surprisingly, this is about all I can say right now.  Watched Kyo Kara Mao! yesterday with Rachel (at least, the first two volumes.)  Very amusing, I must say.  Love all the characters: Yuri, Wolfram, Conrad, Gunter, Gwendel, and Celi's quest for "free love" (whatever that means...Oh I know!  She's looking for the 1970's!

BTW: That song's not really on that CD, I just like the picture...and I love this Mustang voice song!

Yesterday, I graduated from high school, along with many of my friends, and I finally started to whistle!  Not that there is any connection between these singular events, only both happened yesterday, so...

I won't go into the details, but wow...I just cannot believe that we are done with high school forever now.  I'm graduated and...and seriously, will I ever see those beloved people again?  Well, I'll still see Rachel, and Sahitya, and hopefully Trishna, and Radwa, and...I want to see Kate, Henna, Teresa, Michaela, Nikita, Sophie, and everyone again.  I'm starting to feel depressed by all of this, of the end of something I still cannot believe has ended.  Half of me is thinking, "Oh, when we go to school tomorrow..." but no.  Never happening again...at least, not going back to South again.  As students, because when we return- if we return- we'll  be visitors.  Alumna!  That's what we are...Class of 2006 is done and gone with.  Now, we are all Class of 2010.  Wow.  Can I believe it yet?  No, no, I can't...I just can't imagine not going back to Commons 1 in the morning and knowing exactly where to find my friends...now, we'll really have to want to meet for it to happen...

Now, I look towards August, and OTAKON 2006!!!
