I hope I'm not coming down with a sore throat. Darnitall - soon as I come back home I always wind up catching something ;) I did all my Jewish law research! YAAAY :) but the draft of the paper is due Tuesday - how the heck am I gonna turn in 25 pages with footnotes? It'll be one of those all nighter days on Monday huh? ;)

I looked through all of my law school's career newsletters and found a lot of places to email/write/and send in cover letters/resumes to. Wish me luck! I hope I get employed!

Good night everyone :) I'm on AIM tonight for the next hour if u wanna catch up. *HUGS* Happy Easter!!!

ABC's Article on the Life and Death of the Queen Elizabeth I - I never realized before that such a great woman had existed. She impresses me with her life, ability, and caring nature.

hey everyone :) agh - things aren't the best but they aren't the worst either so I won't complain. Good Friday services were long but good :) Gotta get up at 4am for church though tomorrow cause it starts at 6am and we live an hour away! I just wanna *HUG* and thank Aisha and Sarah Beth and Sarah and whoever it was who said "we haven't talked in a long time but my prayers are with you" THANK YOU :) Prayers are all I need! I don't have much to say - looks like things haven't changed really.....it's still ended but carrying on the same - I've given it a time limit though. Sorry I'm so cryptic. I'll write more when I get back from Easter break on Monday.

so a rose is still a rose by any other name - only thing's changed is the label then why do I still feel so hurt inside? I think the label defines everything as time passes and while things are ok under the label now - later they may not be :(

I'm home for easter break - will be in church so often and I have so much work to do. More later.

I'm so sleepppyyyyyyyyyyy
Tuesday, March 26, 2002
10:00 p.m. EST
running on only 4.5 hours of sleep is NOT GOOD. I am waiting for laundry to be done in 45 minutes and then I can just collapse into bed! I downloaded so much new music - "Engenue/Mono" from the Great Expectations soundtrack, "Blurry" by Puddle of Mudd, "I Turn to You" by Melanie C to name a few :)

My entertainment law class had a special speaker come in from Sony Music Records and lord did he know his stuff! I got advice from him about my singing/song writing and making a demo tape and how to go about getting a publisher and a record company label - man it's hard, but if you want it bad enough and believe in your music enough - you can do it.

I found out Hyder can sing! and Pehla Nasha no less! I am definitely gonna drag him to that Paisley's indian antigue store/cafe thingamajig and make him sing! If he's as modest as he is than he must be really good!

I feel sad....someone didn't call back all night or all day...no email either.... guess I should be all "screw it" and "to hell with it" but I'm too much of a freakin INFP to allow myself that luxury. Besides, our last convo had ended on a bad note and I don't even know why so it leaves me all unhappy and unsettled inside. Damn my heart sometimes. Wish I was able to just listen to my head more - less liable to be the one that gets hurt that way.

Hi ChibiSei and Michan!!! :) Sei *HUGGGGG* :) you're awesome and sweet ya know that? :) I'll check on your blog tonight! Hi Michan!! How are you? it's been SO LONG! My life is a living roller coaster but I'm getting by. I'm off to Entertainment Law. It's a yucky, cold, grey - rainy day afternoon/evening here. Rather stay home with my hot cocoa and listen to my Moulin Rouge songs. Sarah Beth (mugsy? HAHA) as always I can count on you :) *big hug* :)

ya know Aisha? I should really bite my tongue the *second* I decide to say I'm happy or life is getting better cause DAMMIT - it always winds up turning the other away as soon as I say it. Or maybe I should just get away from someone who makes my life a living rollercoaster every day or every other day. It's not even that bad but just going to bed unsettled and waking up unsettled and questioning what was said and why say it is something I don't deserve. Dammit I demand to be treated well before I go to bed at night - I need my mind at peace and feeling good to wake up feeling nice in the morning and I do get that some times, but I didn't get that last night! I woke up at this god forsaken hour of 7am when i don't even have class till 12noon and who knows why I woke up....weird dreams but I would've LIKED to wake up feeling loved, adored, cherished, and good in a general sense whatever time I woke up!!

****** Edited 11:18am EST ******

I'm almost ready for Estate Tax even though I never got probs. 9 or 10 done and I bet he'll call on me. Dangitall! I snapped some pictures this morning for my vexsome & troublesome honey whom I adore to a fault and mannnnn are my eyes all swollen from only 4-5 hours of sleep. The last picture though is just weird - I think it's the lighting for the video phone's fault for making my left eye look shut. Too weird! These pictures suck - can't believe how swollen and tired I look - dammit I have GOT to start taking CARE of myself. So much for my new year's resolutions and my birthday promises to myself. Dangit it Nishi get your act together and lose 10-15 pounds and start eating and sleeping properly! (and no it's not weird to reprimand yourself in your own journal ^_^;;; <-- lotsa sweatdrops ;) hahahaah) Ok you'd only get that if you were an anime fan. Ciao for now folks.

Current music: Buffy Musical - "I touch the fire and it freezes me" and Garbage - "You Look So Fine", "The Trick is to Keep Breathing" and The Corrs - "Give me a Reason"

I can't imagine my life without music. If I'm not listening to it, I'm writing songs and singing them. It makes me happy and it's a release - always.

woe is me! i got barely anything done this weekend! 3 papers due, little to no research done, 3 exams which I've barely started outlining for and I'm so behind on sending out more resumes and cover letters to employers I think i might DROWN in my own mess! But nevertheless, a cup of hot cocoa in milk takes everything away :) Now that I put it in milk I don't think I could ever go back to just plain water! What really bugs me is 4 of my auctions I won STILL haven't come in the mail. Things from JAPAN came but not these 4 within the US - one is the Neo Queen Serenity fan art portrait I won a month ago, another is the Usagi pyjama plush, another is this stunning Japanese Sailor Moon S Movie Promotional Poster, and the last are the 9 Angel Sanctuary posters of which 1 is actually Tooya from Ayashi no Ceres. All the sellers said they mailed it out a while ago so why haven't any of them come? I HATE THE POSTAL SERVICE!!!!!!! I think I need another cup of cocoa.

When I went to the store yesterday, in addition to buying those beautiful new bathroom rugs and flowers and vase, I bought this nice basket and put all the dried sunflower heads from the sunflowers ricky had sent me for my birthday - I sprayed a lil bit of a victoria's secret body spray scent into it and it makes a beautiful bouquet. Now I can keep those flowers forever :) Wonder if I should do the same for the roses rick sent me for valentine's day?

took another cool quiz (I'm so addicted to them) and learned something new - when I'm sad I either 1) cry, 2) pray, 3) write or draw in my journal (online and real), 4) listen to soothing music, taking a relaxing shower and do manicure etc, 5) read manga translations or watch anime, or 6) hang out and talk to my friends and cheer myself up doing fun things with them - and of course 7) nothing beats something with chocolate in it! :) Swiss Cake rolls? Hot cocoa? or a tall glass of pepsi or coke! :) heheeh :)


I took the What Mythological Creature Are you? test!


I also took that Keirsey test thing :) I dunno what exactly I am except an idealist.

The Idealist Portrait

All Idealists (NFs) share the following core characteristics:

Idealists are enthusiastic, they trust their intuition, yearn for romance, seek their true self, prize meaningful relationships, and dream of attaining wisdom.
Idealists pride themselves on being loving, kindhearted, and authentic.
Idealists tend to be giving, trusting, spiritual, and they are focused on personal journeys and human potentials.
Idealists make intense mates, nurturing parents, and inspirational leaders.

Idealists, as a temperament, are passionately concerned with personal growth and development. Idealists strive to discover who they are and how they can become their best possible self--always this quest for self-knowledge and self-improvement drives their imagination. And they want to help others make the journey. Idealists are naturally drawn to working with people, and whether in education or counseling, in social services or personnel work, in journalism or the ministry, they are gifted at helping others find their way in life, often inspiring them to grow as individuals and to fulfill their potentials.

Idealists are rare, making up no more than 8 to 10 percent of the population. But their ability to inspire people with their enthusiasm and their idealism has given them influence far beyond their numbers.

God give me L.A. ANYTIME! I hate NY! Stupid freaking cold weather! Fruitless effort at FBI - they gave me a # to call. ChinaTown was alright - I bought a pair of light blue sunglasses - they look kick-ass on me :) and brought 3 very pretty bracelets. Wound up giving a couple dollars to a man begging on the subway and to another begging on the street. I feel like such a horrible person if I catch their eye and then walk on by - rather be a better person and give them something - and it was SO COLD today and they were barely warm. And besides - how many people just ignore these guys who say they're hungry and cold? So many just walk right on by and few of us take a minute to dig out $1 or even a few quarters in change. It's so sad when I see them. Found another Usagi and Mamoru poster to replace the one I sold to Carla, also got the fansub for Volume 1 of Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne. I was SO FROZEN SOLID whole afternoon. Finally when I got back onto St. John's, it was dark w/ no one around. Not even cars. I walked alone back to the dorms and it was just me and the wind hitting my face and whipping through my hair. I felt so lonely. I miss .....

it's a mess - it's all a mess. I want to go back to when none of this had gotten so bad, so tiring, so fed up. Back when it was all still worth everything.

Hey Aisha - I'm so glad you stopped by! I heard of Clamp's X but never saw the anime nor read the manga. From what I've been told it's supposed to be heartwrenchingly good but like most Clamp works - depressing as hell right? ;) And no I don't have a guestbook - never thought of getting one for a pitas page ;) I just put the comments box up and thought that enough. Ah well - it's so nice to meet you :) If you're ever on ICQ or Aol Instant Messenger by screen name etc is up there at the top of this page - please DO keep in touch :)

I'm headed to the FBI today - going to stop in and ask to speak to someone about recruitment and how I can go about applying to work in the FBI as a lawyer. I think I'll then head to China Town and get Kodomo no Omocha vol 9 and pick up a few more posters.

Woke up late for the negotiations cause I slammed the alarm off at 7:30 and woke up 8:49am and was supposed to be at the law school cafeteria by 9am to meet with my group members. Called and said I was running late. Put on a suit so I'd be ready for the Asian American Law Students Association Dinner Party tonight. I looked killer good today! Anyway - negotiations went great but I swear my 2 partners were the most pig-headed stubborn people on so many of the points! But I won't bore you with that.

I somehow got through Copyright Law and skipped out during the last 30 minutes to go and get my eyebrows done. THEN - got my poor suit slightly drenched with all this damn RAIN we been getting in NY. Came back and LOVED Legal Medicine - we learned so much cool stuff! I'm going to be working on the 9-11 relief for the victims via legal aid project with Professor Kramer. It'll be SO cool to work on something like this - although a LOT of work and I haven't even started writing my 3 papers or outlining for the 3 freakin exams!

Afterwards - papa and mummy came around 6pm to drop off food and goodies before going to Mekha and Mili's honor society dinner - they got 4.0's in their first semester of college! I'm so proud of them :) They dropped me off at the subway amidst a storm of "be carefuls" and "call us when you get home" - sheesh - I been living in the city for 3 years and taking the subway and busses and they treat me like I'm 13. *shakes head* Parents ;) I love them so mucht hough :)

The AALSA dinner was SO MUCH FUN! Yummy food and lotsa prominant and distinguished SJU Law alumni! And as a 3rd Year law student I felt like I really needed the networking to land a job after the Bar. I saw a lot of friends I hadn't seen in MONTHS and we caught up :) Rick's on and I need to call him soon so lemme go get changed outta this suit and get ready for bed. Night peoples :)

Tuesday, March 19, 2002
10:02 p.m. EST
I've just fallen in love with 4 songs by Garbage called: You Look So Fine, Special, Queer, and The Trick is to Keep Breathing. Ricky also introduced me to Phantom Planet and their songs California and Somebody's Baby are my favorites right now among others :)

I feel SOOO good :) Took a LONG hot shower and then lotioned up all nice and gave myself a manicure and pedicure and I feel like a million bucks! :) (just kept my nails painted clear) I'm all comfy in this cheeta-print robe that feels like velvet and settling in to study for the night. Gonna make some hot cocoa in milk now :) I found something new I LOVE! Velvamints - Chocolate Mints are my breathmints of choice now! I usually went for gum or lifesavers or altoids (blech) but now that I discovered Velvamints' Chocolate Mints nothing else compares - not even Lifesavers! :)

Well workout didn't happen cause I didn't go to bed till after 2am and even though I set my alarm to 8, I of course switched it off and dozed till 10am. I hadn't done Estate Tax problems and was leafing through the work and calling the people part of my negotiations project for Entertainment Law tomorrow. Left for class at 11:45 and I didn't shower - pulled my hair back - lord I looked sick and tired and one girl in the bathroom at the law school said my eyes looked swollen. THANKS! So feeling plum dandy about myself I headed to Rite Aid after class at 1:30 and bought a slew of fun stuff :) I decided I'm going to start taking better care of myself and my life and that means going to bed by midnight AND sticking to my darn plan to workout every day! Geez - it takes just ONE day of not looking ur best to make u go - AGH what am I doing to my self?? SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I bought Neutrogena's Clear Pore Treatment that you put on at night and which says you get results within 1-3 weeks AND I bought Neutrogena's Healthy Skin Lotion which says results in 2-8 weeks and is a daily lotion for face. AND I bought Jergen's Skin Smoothing Lotion with Beta Hydroxy Acids AND a face loofah pad to exfoliate skin. I bought all this cause it's important to take care of your skin and because although my skin is clear, it's reddish around the nose-meets-cheeks area and I want to even the skin tone out. These 2 cream/lotion treatments promise "softer, smoother skin, improved skin clarity, texture, firmness, skin radiance, evens out blotchy and uneven skin tones, reduces appearnces of fine lines, and improves overall complextion" all within a solid 3 weeks of every day use and by 8 weeks I should have the best skin of my life ;)

I think I'm becoming like Sarah Beth! We've got regimens now! (Lotion up face and hands before bed, do nails, etc etc etc) ;) HAhahah s'ok cause I'm girly and feminine and I like to look my best but I'd also be just fine slumming around if no one was gonna look at me ;) HAH - the things we do because other people will see/judge us! SHEESH.

I'm gonna go take a shower and get all prettied up, lotioned up, and loofahed up! And THEN I'll settle in and do the stuff that's due for tomorrow :) Write more later :)

My muscles are all sore now....I worked out this afternoon and everything hurts....jogged for 40 minutes at 4.5 and 5mph. I'm gonna hit the gym again tomorrow morning too! Am gonna lose this stubborn 10/15 pounds until I hit 90 pounds! (again don't go crazy - I'm 4ft 8 and a 1/2 remember? I'm best at 90/95! I weigh 103-105 on the avg each day right now) :) almost 1am - I better head to sleep soon. Ricky's sending over mp3s of songs from the groups Phantom Planet and Garbage cause I like their songs :) When I start making some money, I seriously need to go buy some new cds! 11 more minutes on the download! There is ONE song of Garbage I love called "You Look So Fine" - I don't know any of the others but I'm willing to listen :) And for Phantom Planet their songs "California" and "You must be somebody's baby" are GREAT :)

So you're wondering what the pretty snapped photos around this entry are right? In the entry below I said I used to write in journals since I was in 5th grade right? And that I'd been writing too personally in this online one which everyone can read, right? Well, I deleted all personal entries from this online journal and instead printed them out and pasted them in this new journal (TO THE RIGHT) I won off of ebay - it's this beautiful Sailor Moon diary-like journal thing - has a beautiful picture of Neo Queen Serenity inside! See the pictures below! This I think is my 11th journal not counting others I may have thrown out.

Monday went by too fast :( I'm settled in my bed with my work out in front of me. Just wasted the past hour searching for new Naoko Takeuchi images of Toki Meka, Love Witch, and PQ Angels to add to my Naoko Takeuchi Mailing List photos section. I'm so happy - I just created the list 2 weeks ago and already it has 54 members! :)

I'm looking through my Ribon manga now and wishing someone would start summarizing or translating Max Lovely! It looks like such a good story and the art is gorgeous! I am selling Sailor Moon and PQ Angels MANGA GOODS ON EBAY!!!! Click on my "ebay auctions" above to see everything I'm selling - from a cool Sailor Moon manga notebook, to manga stickers and a gift bag and Sailor Moon manga stationary!! :)

The heat's been blasting in my room all night - Nitz knocked on my door and I warned her it was hot and she literally jumped back cause my room was like an oven :) hahaaha - what can I say - I like it warm - although after almost 2.5 hours I'm starting to suffocate with this heat. OK mindless empty ramblings. I have a lot more I want to write but I've been getting awfully personal in this online journal and I'd rather write the personal stuff in my real hard journal on my shelf. My journals are so pretty :) I've been collecting and writing in them since I was in 5th grade I think - but like most people - I don't keep it up regularly - mostly wrote in it whenever I wanted to. Ok time to go! Night everyone - sweet dreams :)

Happy Monday everyone! It's a grey, bleak, dreary day here in NY and I'm missing sunny SoCal already! I have the heat blasting in my room and woke up at 11:15am and haven't changed out of my nightgown yet :) heehehe :) I have so much work to do!!! I spent last night after getting back unpacking and cleaning and organizing my room. Feels so good to have everything in its right place but I'm so undisciplined that even if I keep it up for a few days, everything will go back to disorder within a week ;) I should really learn to make it a habit to keep my drawers, closet, and room organized and neat but I'm so lazy! :) haahah! okie - time for a shower and then go and pick up my packages! Love to all!

Back from L.A.!!!!

I LOVE L.A.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) I am definitely going to move there! I fall more and more in love with it each time and this time was the most of all because I saw my dream houses, and my dream areas to live - not to mention a beautiful sunset over the pacific ocean next to ricky :)Plus the weather and the atmosphere...I just love it all. We also went to San Francisco and I got to meet one of his old friends and we all had a great time shopping there and ate at an Afghani restaurant in Fremont. I'll tell everyone on YYY more! I got to meet LISA in Walnut Creek and I met Mike too! It was a LOT of fun - Rick and I went to eat with them :) Rick thought Lisa and Mike were SO funny with great stories :) Rick and I felt so bad that we had to rush things to get back to Lubna's house - I didn't get to just chill and really relax with Lisa and that made me sad but the time spent was great regardless. I'm cleaning up and organizing my room now and going to bed at midnight - wanna wake up and go hit the gym! Need to lose 10-15 pounds by end of finals in May! Think I can do this in 2 months? HAH - lesse ;) Night everyone :) and Rick I love you!

God is my life a rollercoaster or what? One minute complete heartache and the next, I'm back to laughter and love.

I saw Cinderella 2 and it was SOOOOOOO good! It had 3 different stories and each was SO beautifully done! I heard so much criticism about leaving the story alone and I'm glad they created C2! It's a beautiful story and you feel SO good and warm inside watching it.

Am watching "Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister" on ABC and it's great!

I TOOK THE MPRE!!!! Went to bed around 3:30/4am this morning and slept till 8am, got up and got to the testing center by 8:45 :) Exam didn't start though until 9:30 I think. Anyway - I think the exam was very hard but I felt really good about it - had enough time to go back over all 50 questions and make sure about my answers before I turned it in. PLEASE LET ME PASS SO I CAN TAKE MY BAR EXAM AND MAKE SOME MONEY ALREADY!

After the exam, I came home to warm kisses from my rickers and I showered and got ready to head out because it was a BEAUTIFUL DAY IN NY! I went to CHINA TOWN and bought a gorgeous Usagi and Mamoru poster! I'm selling it on ebay and I'm going to head back when I have more money and buy more of that particular poster - I hope they don't run out! *SOB* I also bought FANSUBS of Kodomo no Omocha and Marmalade Boy! I found an AWESOME fansub distributor store named ANIMEMAX on Mott Street and the guy is really nice and helpful! He didn't have volume 9 but for only $5 I was willing to wait! I usually get fansubs from Elizabeth Center on Elizabeth Street in China Town but all I bought today was Marmalade Boy eps 36-40 because the guy wanted $10 for 4 episodes of Kodocha on 2 tapes. usually it'd only be $5 for ONE tape. So I couldn't afford that. Nevertheless, I found ANOTHER FANSUB distrib. on Lafeyette Street where I ALSO bought this STUNNING FUSHIGI YUUGI POSTER!!!!!!!!! And I paid $10 to get volume 10 of Kodocha because they have their own fansubbers who are faster! It was PRICEY but I wanted anime :) While also in china town, I bought CINDERELLA 2!! This asian woman was selling all these new movies which had JUST released in theatres or hadn't realeased yet at ALL!! I couldn't believe it so I bought just 1 tape for $5. I'm watching the movie now and it's pretty good - I dunno HOW she got the movie before it was out in theaters! And the picture quality isn't bad - it's not as vibrant in color and it's shaky but hey - I can see the movie! :)

Below is everything I bought at China Town :) Was a nice way to spend a sunny, and WARM March day in NYC! :) Now as for tonight - well - tonight had it's problems...and these same will probably rear their ugly heads again and again and again, but as of right now - they're gone and I'm just enjoying the small bit of happiness and peace I've been given for now. :)

All of these can be found on my collections page.

I did the unthinkable - I cut all my nails short! EEEEEEK! I usually keep my nails long but 2 or 3 times a year I wind up cutting all of them cause I'll go and do something stupid like slam my hand into a door and break a nail. yeah - ouch! I at least thank god for the fact that either because I drink a lot of milk/cereal or because of my indian genes it takes a lot for my nails to break. God it hurts when they DO! Anywayz - I gave myself a manicure and buffed and filed and painted them all nice and clear and it looks pretty :) I'm so girly and feminine it's sick huh? :D oh laugh with me already! I finished studying for the MPRE and am now tackling the exam questions but FIRST I bought this mixed herbal tea package and I've been drinking all afternoon! I LOVEEEEE chamomile tea, rose tea, peppermint and lemon - but I'm weird and have to put milk and sugar in my tea - I can't help it! I love flavored hot cocoa too! And don't get me started on Thai Iced tea! Ricky and I had the best Thai Iced Tea at this Japanese restaurant called T.O.T's (or was it Kirin?) and it was heaven on earth!!! I never tasted such good thai iced tea! Ok - work work work. I want some chocolate....be nice to munch on Andes or those hershey's miniatures....or a kit kat - I love kit kats...or nestle crunch....alright! WORK WORK WORK - u see how hard it is for me to study on a friday night?

Which Lion King Character Are You?
Created by CrazyCoasterCo.

Submissive? hahahaah I think not ;) but lord knows I can pin 'em ;) I got Nala as my #1 and Mufasa as #2 - for my man, I would be a trusty right hand and would be submissive when I was wrong and he right, but I equally require him to be my own right hand man and to be submissive to me when I'm in the right. It's an equal relationship of give and take and compromise.

I'm busy studying for the MPRE - still have 200 practice exam questions to take and 20 more pages of material to review before I tackle the exam questions. God let me PASS THIS HORRIBLE TEST.

My friend Rebecca had a bunch of cool quizzes on her live journal and me, being the sucker I am for quizzes, had to take them ALL. EEEEEEEEEEEEE :D heheheehe :)


What is your meaning of life?

Trends? Forget it! You want to be a star because of your simple beauty and super-charming personality, not because of your wild style ways. Some may say that you're way too predictable, but you've stuck with the same stuff for years because you know that it makes you look pulled together and pretty. Don't be afraid to let loose, though, by trying out a slightly toned down trend now and then -you could have a blast mixing the old with the new. (well that's not totally true cause I do like fun trends like body glitter :))

I'm so glad this Joey and Rachel thing is OVER. I'm a Ross and Rachel fan and I was dying when this whole JnR thing started. I'm glad they're going back the friend route and giving this whole storyline closure. Tonight's Friends was a nice episode :)

I took more quizzes! WHEEEEEEEE :) I love quizes :)

I had such a wonderful haircut :) the woman I go to always does a great job re-layering my hair and for $25+tip she'd better ;) But seriously she's the best and she's so sweet and nice to me. I've been layering my hair since I was 18 and started college! And I usually go every 3 months because the layers grow out and my hair goes back to being all straight/wavy. I took the pictures below for my honey so he could see :) The first two were taken last night at 2am when I was SO sleepy so ignore how swollen my eyes are :) hehe :) and the last 4 I snapped now. They're all at: Nishi's Photo Gallery. But you can see the new layers - I love em :) They make your hair come alive! ;)



I've gotta go study for my exam on saturday! 3 months till I graduate - 5 more months till the Bar Exam. EEEEEEEK!!!

It's an old saying that no one can hurt you unless you let them. It's also said that you control how people treat you in life. If that's the case, I haven't been doing much controlling but a lot of letting. I deserve better than this. It's time I took my life back and got my control back.

I got a call from my ricky just now...amazing how one call from him can make me feel better about almost everything again - took a lot of the sting I had felt from last night away....not all of it....but his love has a way of warming my heart.....

I've got 2 classes from 1 to 5 and then my dad is dropping by afterwards to drop me off food and things :) yaay :) Gotta go get ready for class now - my hair's still in a towel from my shower and it's already 12:20! EEEK!

*sigh*.....stupid fight on the phone....I'm apparently superficial now because I reacted strongly against his play-impression of a thick indian accented guy hitting on me. I can't help it ok - I got grossed out by it!!! When i hear thick indian-accent I think of my dad, the uncles at church, or the horny f.o.b.'s at college who hit on me. But that doesn't mean I don't have friends or people I adore who have thick accents. Doesn't mean I couldn't fall in love with someone with a thick accent. I can't help it that initially - in a potential romantic partner - a thick accent is a turn off - but after a while, if I fall for someone like that - I wouldn't be so superficial to dump him or to judge him on that accent - I'm not like that at all!!!

Besides - what about everyoen else who has their pre-qualifications before encouraging interest by someone - such has height, weight, hair color, education, culture, intelligence - is that superficiality or just preference and taste? I can't help if my tastes mean that i don't want someone with a *thick* accent that makes me think of my dad or church uncles or horny f.o.b.'s who hit on me in college - I also wouldn't initially like a partner who had a voice that sounded mentally retarded or all "california - dudish surfer boy", or an effeminate voice (one that sounded girly) or like Urkel. It's my DAMN TASTES! If that makes me superficial - FINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in a good mood! :) Things are nice on the love-front, and I'm excited because I created a new mailing list devoted to Naoko Takeuchi and all her manga such as Maria, Rain Kiss, Chocolate Christmas, Miss Rain, the Cherry Project, and Sailor V (and of course Sailor Moon) but also because I saw she was starting a new series in Nakayoshi manga called LOVEWITCH!!! So anyone out here who loves Naoko - join the new list! The Naoko Takeuchi ML and if you love Sailor Moon's Usagi and Mamoru (Serena and Darien) join the Usagi and Mamoru Mailing List devoted to Usagi/Serena and Mamoru/Darien's eternal love!



I made the buttons - like? :) Have to decorate the group pages - it looked so boring without an image. And while I'm at it - join my Tooya and Aya Mailing List too! Devoted to Touya and Aya of Ayashi no Ceres. (I spell it both ways now because Touya seems to be the new way the animators etc have been spelling it in english.

Before I forget though - another pearl of wisdom - when you feel happy - temper it because if you just go on feeling happy, something is gonna happen to ruin it. So I am going to recall all the horrible sadness I been through to just keep things in perspective and not get too happy. I know I'm probably being silly but I swear - it always seems to happen - the second I start to feel happy - WHAM something happens to ruin it - so I'm forcing myself to be SOMBER. (oh go away ppl - I know u think I'm being weird!)

Estate Tax finished at 1:30 and I've been in the library ever since working on my Entertainment Law Paper Outline - it's going to be so interesting - I get to discuss all the legal rules affecting internet law and what rights and liabilities people have for using images, written works, downloading pirated software - etc etc :)

Less than a week till LA!! I can't wait - hot, sunny weather, days all to myself, and my ricky :) what more could a girl ask for? hehehe :) I can't wait to do some anime shopping while I'm there and meet up with California friends!

I'm so hungry - class is at 4pm though *sob* I wanna go back to my room and grab something to eat *thinks about all of my mom's delicious indian food just waiting there....* I'll grab something from the darn dining hall before class. *whine* (ya see how I get when I'm hungry? ;))

morning everyone! :)

Do I sound like I'm actually happy or what? :) Just wanna tell all my friends that the nightmare of the past week is over I think. Everything is good again :) (I think ;) you never know when it comes to the heart!) But the sun's out, it's shining, and I have a class at noon and I'm ready to start my day. Little pearl of wisdom - what hurts you and breaks you only makes you stronger. You might never heal from the scars, and you might never be able to forgive the person(s) responsible for putting you through it all, but you're definitely a stronger and more beautiful person for it. I think I learned something definite about myself - if someone really hurts me and never makes up for it to me, I'll never forgive them - ever, cause the pain never leaves, ya know? So how can you forgive someone if it still hurts so much inside? You can only forgive when you no longer feel the pain.

At least that's the way I am, maybe other people have the ability to forgive despite the hurt, but I don't. I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive S. for what he did, but for R., even after all we go through - his continued love and everything always makes me forgive him. If everything in the past week had ended differently though....I think the pain would've been too much and I wouldn't have been able to forgive him either. For me - pain that I don't think I deserve - is unforgiveable - even if there's no blame or fault - I just can't forgive someone causing me pain.

This was really cool! Here's my color-personality based on the colors I chose: from Colorgenics.com

    You are striving for a life full of activity and experience, and perhaps what is even more, an environment where you would be able to forge a close bond with a person who can offer full emotional fulfilment.

    You are finding the present situation extremely demanding and you're having difficulty coping with the situation. A great deal of strain is involved and you would really like everyone and everything to leave you alone for a while, just so that you can put everything into perspective.

    You need a friend - a close friend ... and you are willing to become emotionally involved with the right person, but you are very demanding and particular in your choice of partners. You are constantly looking for reassurance .. and it is perhaps because of this that you tend to be some-what argumentative, but you try to hold back - careful to avoid open conflict since this might reduce your chances of prospects of realising your hopes of establishing a warm caring relationship.

    Whatever you strive to do, something always seems to be holding you back. There is no subterfuge in you. You are a clear thinker and all you demand from life, in a relationship, is a partner whom you can trust and with whom you can, together, develop a foundation of trust based on understanding. You are your own person... and you demand freedom of thought ...to follow your own convictions. You have no interest in "two-timing" and all you seek is sincerity and "straight-dealing".

    You don't like authority and you rebel against all forms of limitation. You are your own person and you intend to stay that way .. and to get on in the world simply by your hard work and determination.
Interesting huh?

Up late on this Monday night researching my Entertainment Law paper. My MPRE exam is this Saturday - everything's happening so fast! Less than 2 months till final exams and then I graduate law school! I haven't mailed out enough resumes or cover letters....somehow between now and next Monday before LA I gotta get it all done....

I won this auction for 9 Angel Sanctuary posters but I don't even like or KNOW the series - I bought it because one of the 9 posters is actually Tooya (or Touya) from Ayashi no Ceres! The poster is stunning! So I just HAD to buy it! :) (See Image on Right) I also won some other neat collectibles in this "MS SailorMoon Happy Set" from one of my favorite sellers mau-e who always sells great ebay auction items! Some of the stuff I didn't want thugh and will prolly re-auction. I'm becoming poor though - I sold 2 of my Sailor Moon dolls - my beloved Eternal Sailor Moon Beauty Change doll (Italian version) and my Korean SM doll both for $75 to a wonderful friend named Raquel. She and her daughters will love the dolls and my credit card will love the $75! :) Also sold some prized posters to my friend Carla *sob* it made me so sad because they're so beautiful and rare but she was willing to pay a great price for them and she will lovingly care for them, so it's ok.


Back to work. Night everyone!
