I wonder how long I get to enjoy these new sensations before the supposition that I'm a workhorse overpowers me again. The duration of the summer? That would be a blessing at least.

...After that, it won't matter. I'll have moved to DC, and will be living it up! Partyyyyyyy

...kicked SO MUCH ASS. *explodes*

I saw the midnight showing, and I do not regret a single second of it, despite getting to the theater with Ari around 10:30pm.

Just...I cannot explain the magnitude of how incredible this was to me.

You need to see this movie. End of story.




Why so serious?

Prom was this past weekend. And I had THE BEST TIME OF MY FREAKING LIFE.
Honestly, how could anyone NOT, in my place? <3

Prom dance on Saturday, an absolutely awesome afterparty, diving into a heated pool and spending time with my boyfriend in a hot, hot jacuzzi, staying up till 4am, and spending the night and waking up the next morning next to the love of my life. Cooking breakfast together with 6 people and making fun of men making omelettes while they hungrily eyed our deliciously good, chocolate chip pancakes. Spending the day half-asleep with good friends in front of a home entertainment system and watching endless episodes of Family Guy. Eating dinner together, laughing, making jokes, having fun.

I lived an absolute dream. That's all there is to it.

I've only been gone for two weeks...and looks like someone hacked my account while I was away?! Ahahaha, kudos to whoever it was. That new icon is...we'll say special.

Aaaaaaaaaah, we're so freaking cool. So cool, in fact, that we were in the newspaper today, and everything. (though, I'm laughing in it and look retarded ._.) And the school's finally taking notice of our debate team, after some 12 years.

AAAAAAAAAAH, BUT WE WON! ^___^

2. Get over my addiction to Facebook- to the internet in general, actually.
3. Pass my first semester finals with top marks- especially the physics one.
4. Do well on the SAT.
5. Do well on the ACT.
6. Get 5's on all my AP exams in May.
7. Write an original story, and keep it as original as possible. None of these cliche situations/storylines.
8. Pass the one-year anniversary mark with my boyfriend.
9. Lose something.
10. Make it to senior year with my GPA and sanity intact.
11. Finally FINISH DMC3.
12. Exercise some better self control when it comes to dessert and pleasure, two almost synonymous things, in my mind. 8D

I'll prob add more when I think of them.

If any of you are in the Chicago area, I recommend you go see it. A lot. Obsession, love, danger, death, lust, and incredible singing of incredible songs.

They did great justice to one of my favourite musicals of all time.

Lessee, lemme see if I can put it in perspective, though I'll try my damnedest not to sound like a certain emo ex-gf I know or conceited. I'm actually more or less challenged.

1. At the moment, I'm studying to take 5 AP (Advanced Placement/college) exams at the end of the year to get the college credit. AP English, AP Physics, AP US History, AP German, & AP French. Only person I know who's survived this AP load is my boyfriend. Note to self: get some pointers...

2. Been invited to meetings of the executive board for diversity council, so we can plan World's Fair this year, so I'll be doing that soon. <3<3<3 I cannot wait for WF. It's my favourite thing.

3. French Exchange was here in Oct-Nov, so I'll be going to France for it in March.

4. Just become committee head for NAP, a sub-organization of NHS (national honor society) that's in charge of advertising the community service we do, so I'm feeling good there. Should be lots of work, but it'll be fun. Marketing is my homeboy.

5. Finished winning over the rest of the guys on executive board for debate club. That means Rachel's looost. *evil grin* They're my boys. My boyfriend's ex-gf will have to complain elsewhere now.

6. Got my PSAT scores back and I scored in the 98th percentile. So I'm reeally happy there. So's my family. I'm now qualified to enter national contests for scholarships and such, I believe. And I have to sign up to take the ACT and SAT soon. How does one study for these? I didn't for the PSAT...

7. My old, old friends from West Oak and I organized a reunion xmas party after the 25th, so I'm really looking forward to that. It'll last two days, and we're going to do so much crazy shit. I can't waait.

8. I'm taking Ari somewhere on the 27th. He doesn't know where yet, but he'll love it. I can't wait for that either! *happy happy*

9. I don’t want to think of everything else. *hides*

Yaaaay, break. Kinda. Review packets for finals await!

I've been busy- friends, school, love
But I think I've forgotten what I hold above.
See, this is all quite new to me, this life I have
And I keep forgetting that it isn't a rough draft.

Had some problems, but think I sorted them all out
Even decided I enjoy taunting certain people, on a side route!

*grins* It's nice, I think, to overwork or drink
But I've now found that I miss having time alone to think.
Independent, strong, powerful I want to be
'Course they have to be the toughest to achieve, those three -_-

I'm finally, thankfully, seeing the light
Perhaps, after all, I can still pose a good fight
For I think staying passive requires great, personal strength
But then again, a punch gives a much more final bang.

Also struck up conversation with past romances
And been to amazing, wonderful, memorable dances <3

Been in trouble, and made up friendships
...Realized that alone, I only need the words on my lips
I might not need people, might not need company
But I do appreciate it, encourage it, and note the possibility.

I'm old, I'm young, I'm adult and teen
I'm hated, I'm loved, I'm in-between,
I've cried, I've laughed, I've been bitter and angry
I've fought, I've struggled, but jealousy is still green. -__-

Who knows the world, the future that comes?
The different, the same, but the eternal heartbeat still drums.
Much has happened, much has gone by
And all will continue,

...even if, I lie.

Today, I go to work though, and mention to the other girls there that I hope I'm not on the work sched tomorrow 'cause I need the day off. They both froze and gave me a look, "Oh, you're screwed unless you have some big reason that'll excuse you immediately! Do you have one?"

I blink at them, "Uh..."

So we all launched into this big brainstorm of excuses that were so funny because nothing of the like had ever happened to me before. For example:

"Tell him that someone in your family died and you have to go to their funeral."
"But all my family lives in Russia 'cept my immediate ones!"
"...So? He doesn't know that."

ANYWAY. Eventually, it was decided that my friend's parent had died and they were staying with me (the friend, not the dead parent), and I couldn't leave them home alone with sharp objects in the house.

So, now with that in mind, take a look at the convo I had with Ari:

| -Yami Y- | says:
How much time d'you think we have together tomorrow?

Ari says:
I think my mother is suposed to be gone by 4 the absolute latest, in which case from then on, asumming ur around then.

| -Yami Y- | says:
Dude, my friend's parent DIED so I could have off tomorrow

Ari says:
It's not often I'd laugh reading that sentence, but I just fuckin laughed really loud.

I love making people laugh. <3

Have some words of wisdom:

1. Bavaria, Germany is the best place to go if you're looking for good beer, good people, good times. Munich, Bavaria especially.

2. Never, ever tell more than one guy that you're interested, at one time. It'll only lead to chaotic and complicated relationships, unless you've done it before. In which case, you have an even bigger chance of screwing things up, so...good luck with that.

3. Blame Canada.

4. If all else fails...have some cock soup: [link]

Creating armies on either shore
Turning man against his brother

I wonder, how far does it take a race to evolve to think they are so much better than anything or anyone else? How much does it take for a single country to think that?

The answer is so very, very little.

Mmmm, Devil May Cry 3 is just too good; positively delicious. I could sing praises all day and night, but I won't, because that would take time away from me playing it. Ooh, Dante is mine.

Check out X, the anime. (One of my all-time favorites, by the way. Maybe THE favorite. Haha, I own all of it. xD) It's about the apocalypse and has scenes in the future, where the Earth's become all desert and random skyscrapers and towers sticking up everywhere. Really gets the point across, you know?

Or take The Day After Tomorrow. Also does a great job of sending a message straight to your brain saying, "This could happen. What you're seeing is the 'After' photo".

Another example is scenes from Ghost in the Shell. Especially, in the 2nd Gig, there some really amazing scenes of a city drowned in this extension of an ocean, and it's really just BAM. It cuts straight to that part of your mind that's going "That'll never happen."

...I love movies/animes like that. xD ]]> ~Divineseraphim http://Divineseraphim.deviantart.com/journal/7520962/ http://Divineseraphim.deviantart.com/journal/7520962/ Thu, 05 Jan 2006 19:42:17 PST
Recently found a website for this one amazing writer and mathmatician who goes by the name of Sam. His website, Sam's Archive, can be found at [link]

My favorite bits were what he had to say on a selection of movies and anime, which were said in such a witty fashion that I had trouble holding back my laughter in a room full of paranoid librarians. Very difficult to do, mind you. I also liked his collection of msn usernames and aim away messages (his own private stash). Those were very entertaining to read. Also good are his list of quotes. By golly, the entire site is a work of art! He is just too good at pinpointing that very anomaly in books, movies, tv, or internet that make us laugh. I recommend him; ten out of ten! ]]> ~Divineseraphim http://Divineseraphim.deviantart.com/journal/7480213/ http://Divineseraphim.deviantart.com/journal/7480213/ Sun, 01 Jan 2006 15:14:32 PST
--Life is Color--

He stood on the beach; his toes buried in the soft, sun-warmed sand, and stared out at the ocean. A wind picked up and rippled through his hair and he spread his arms out, for a moment pretending that he was flying with the wind.

To be so free, so boundless...To be able to whisk across the sea in the blink of an eye, past countless cities in both night and day, no particular destination in mind. All he really needed was his other, the other half that made him so complete that nothing could divide them. Not in the very least.

Was it their connection, the bond between one half and its other that made it so? No, and he couldn't help the smile that threaded its way past his heavy feelings and showed on his face, he knew it was more than that. It was more than the connection of past experiences, of facing danger and finding hope together, more than sharing the weight on their shoulders.

It's love, he thought. Such a simple thought, and so easily understandable. Yet, he wondered, why did so many people fail to realize its possibilities? Life wasn't all in one color. Love wasn't only in black or white. So many different shades came together to create something so wonderful...So lovely.

As the wind died down the a playful breeze, he threw his head back and let the gentle rays of the sun wash over his face, as if greeting an old friend.

Hello sun, he thought.

Dropping his arms to his sides, he wriggled his toes until the sand crunched under his feet in a pleasant way. Such a wonderful way to live, he couldn't help but acknowledge.

Hello sand.

A group of ragtag seagulls began to sound off in the distance, and rather than disturbing the mood, they seemed to add to it. So peaceful...He sighed and closed his eyes, the unfaltering light of the sun through his eyelids the only thing he could see.

Hello seagulls.

Why wasn't life always like this, so enjoyable and simple? He wondered what it would be like, to have nothing to ever worry about again. No overhanging doom or prophecies to fulfill.

"Wouldn't that be nice?" He mumbled out loud, to the sun, sand, or waves lapping the shore a little ways down, it didn't matter.

Hello waves.

"What would, Aibou?" A voice suddenly sounded in his ear, warm breath tickling his ear. He giggled.

"Yami, you surprised me!" He remarked lightly as Yami's hands came up to wrap around his waist.

"Yuugi, that was my intention," Yami smiled into his hair. "You know I love to catch you unawares."

"Hmm," He smiled back as his gaze flowed from one side of the ocean's endless expanse to the other. "I do.

"The ocean sure is beautiful during the day, isn't it?"

"It's just as breath-taking during the night," Yami said with a grin, while Yuugi blushed from his not-so-subtle reminder of their last night's activities.

With another sigh, Yuugi let himself be pulled down to the ground in his lover's embrace. He buried his and Yami's limbs in the sand and reveled in the pleasurable groan that came from his lover.

"I'm glad you convinced me to come, Yami. I could never have imagined something like this."

"Oh?" Yami sounded pleased. "Well, I'm glad that you decided to come with me. You know, for a while, I had given up hope."

"Yami," Yuugi brought a hand up to cup his lover's face. "There's nowhere I'd rather be than by your side"

"And there's no person I'd rather be spending time with than you, Aibou." Yami's voice rumbled in his chest and send vibrations through Yuugi.

They spent another moment in silence, enjoying the unusual but welcome song of the seagulls. And Yami had almost fallen asleep under the gentle warmth of the sun when Yuugi spoke again. "There's one thing I miss, though."

There was a pause as Yami gathered his thoughts from where they'd spread out in his mind. "What's that?"

Yuugi chuckled. "There's no snow."

"Is that a problem?" Yami smiled, his eyes still closed.

"No," Yuugi replied. "Not at all. I get enough of that all over my face from those rocket-powered snowballs that Jou likes to launch at me."

At the thought of Yuugi's face every time Jou got the "urge", Yami couldn't help his own chuckle.

"Hey! Don't laugh at me, Yami!" Yuugi protested.

"I'm not, Aibou! You're just too funny." Yami tried to say in between his laugh, and rubbed his lover's back reassuringly. "This was a good idea, wasn't it? Going on vacation, I mean. We have been long overdue for one."

"Yeah," Yuugi sighed and settled in more comfortable against his lover's chest. All was quiet for a moment. "Merry Christmas, Yami."

"Merry Christmas,... ]]> ~Divineseraphim http://Divineseraphim.deviantart.com/journal/7221870/ http://Divineseraphim.deviantart.com/journal/7221870/ Sun, 04 Dec 2005 15:56:49 PST
To make his own decisions...That thought was as sweet as sugar and the boy allowed a sated grin to cross his face.

He was jerked back to his body as a claw-like hand descended upon his shoulder and yanked him back around to face the crone. Her dark eyes glittered in the dim light and a half-smile played on her lips.

"What have I told you, boy?" She addressed him and suddenly, he found himself dry-mouthed and frantically searching for something to say. She snorted in contempt and crossed her arms.

"Your wandering mind will be the end of you." She told him in a grim voice that strangely echoed in the small room. But the boy only snorted in return, his pride finally overpowering his caution and taking control of his mouth.

"It doesn't wander," He protested. "It looks for better stimulation! If you weren't half so boring--"

He was caught off abruptly when she held up one wrinkled hand. The woman regarded him with a mixture of amusement and curiousity. He squirmed under her gaze but refused to back down on his claim and stood before her, his hands clenched into fists at his sides.

"What would you do, I wonder, if I had left you all alone?" She mused out loud and he was only half-sure that she meant for him to hear it. "Would you be impowered with all the knowledge you have now? Or be able to survive the frights others face, because you know the reason behind it?"

The boy glanced around the room, searching for an escape as guilt fought its way into his mind and his conscious stirred. But to no avail, the older woman's simple yet effective questions made their way into his mind and pushed passed his feeble protests.

"Do you remember that bear that you fought, at the river?" The wise woman continued and he let out an unintentional groan.

How could he forget? He had barely escaped with his life, and only after he'd managed to kill it at the very last second. Backed into a corner, the boy had watched the old woman's teachings flash before his eyes. One of them had picked itself out from the rest, and he'd been able to use the bear's strength against it, and freed himself.

"You admit that you needed what you knew then?" The old crone demanded an answer and reluctantly, he nodded.

She let out a satisfied sigh, and he thought she was finished before she asked another painful question.

"Do you remember the storm?" She cocked her head to the side in mock-innocence, as if trying to recall a slippery memory. "How about that bridge?"

The boy winced, surely regretted letting himself wander and even more so that he'd talked back to her.

The storm had been the worst one the people had seen yet, and so none had been prepared. Panic had swept through everyone as it had become clear that the bridge couldn't hold out under so much weight, both from above and below. The bridge was what connected the island on which they and the other inhabitants lived on to the rest of the world; without it, they were trapped for an indifinite amount of time until the bridge was fixed.

Everything had seemed hopeless until the boy and the old woman had arrived and together had done the things necessary to save their connection to the outside. It had taken strength, indurance, and a lot of quick thinking on his part.

Oh yes, the crone knew what she was doing alright. The boy had his back pressed against the wall now and was hanging his head in shame. She scoffed and took a step nearer to him.

"Do not take knowledge lightly, boy. Use it wisely and accept it with due gratitude." She paused to regard him through dark, half-lidded eyes that seemed to see everything. "For rarely will it be offered to you in exchange for nothing."

"Yes, teacher." He replied, with a heavy sigh. Resuming his earlier seat at the table, he turned his attention to the wise woman, and she continued where she had left off. ]]> ~Divineseraphim http://Divineseraphim.deviantart.com/journal/7147750/ http://Divineseraphim.deviantart.com/journal/7147750/ Sat, 26 Nov 2005 09:10:40 PST
I got a load of anime for my ever-growing collection from finishing the semester with good grades. So, I got money from relatives and such, and hit the stores.

Ah, I'm feeling quite content- scratch that, I'm in exctasy! I mean, you canNOT feel so happy and bouncy after it all sinks in that you OWN the anime!!!

Anyway, I got the final volume of Spiral. I was all confused throughout the series about WHAT the Blade Children actually were, but then it turns out that you're supposed to figure it out for youself. And you know what? I realized I'd known all along what they were...Amazing, how they did that.

I've also been annoyed by that 'double feature' of the Yu Yu Hakusho movie and some other obscure little film, seeing it every store I went to, and it was reeeaaallly cheap, so I got it. Ack, I wanted to see some more Kurama action!! *drools and lapses into a daydream* No wonder it was cheap! The whole thing was so fast-paced that I hardly got into it then it was over. And *wails* they had different voice actors for the English dub so I didn't get to hear Kurama's and Hiei's sexy English voices...At least I had the hawt Jap ones to make up for it...But I swear, they sounded different too.

And, (wait for it...) I GOT X!!!! I am in love with that anime more and more! Every time I see it, doesn't matter what episode it is, I...Have to pay homage to the great creator of something so spectacular. I recommend it to EVERYONE, whether you be veteran anime-watcher (in which case, you should have already seen this, like I have) or a first-timer. I swear...I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! It's just so amazing, and it's been going round my head long after I finished watching it. Anyway, I got the first boxed set with volumes 1-4, so next time I NEED to get the SECOND ONE!!! I NEED TOOOOOOO!

*calms herself* Alrightie then, I'm off to rewatch all those things. Ah, the joys of anime. I feel sorry for anyone who can't get enjoyment from anime; it is one of the greatest things in this world! YEAH!

-Inspired by ending song of X: Secret Sorrow-

I'm struggling for something just over the horizon
It's almost in my grasp, so close I can actually see it
And still doubt remains.
Still something keeps me from throwing my all into it
I'm being held back by some inexplicable reason
I want to scream, Anything to release this feeling inside

What was I to you if you never even looked at me?
All I can do it pretend that we had something
And while it may not be true, I can still try
Because I never knew how deeply I felt, Until you left
Somehow, I will struggle on, in this world alone ]]> ~Divineseraphim http://Divineseraphim.deviantart.com/journal/7047423/ http://Divineseraphim.deviantart.com/journal/7047423/ Mon, 14 Nov 2005 17:12:17 PST


[Simple]

Searching for the words
Why can I only come up with excuses?
Nothing comes out the way it's supposed to
It turns out worse than before

I reach for the one thing than keeps me here
And watch it come apart in my hands
Why don't I make any sense?
Why can't I find what I want?

All that comes out is flowery
I can't cut it down to basics
Why is being simple to hard?
So bare and open, Why can't that be me?

Hiding here in my self
I've grown a face for everyone else
And I don't expect them to break through
Yet why do I wish they would?

Days and nights and in between
The sameness fights to overcome me
Why does it seem each time it comes closer?
Why can't I stave it off anymore?

All that comes out is flowery
I can't cut it down to basics
Why is being simple to hard?
So bare and open, Why can't that be me? ]]> ~Divineseraphim
