So...random song lyrics (translations)

I've never been able to tell anyone "I love you."
If I can now, it's just for you.
You're here by my side, smiling.
That's enough. I don't need anything else.
Everything started from the moment we met
There will be days that we hurt each other, but
I can only feel like I want us to stay together
Connected into the unknown tomorrow.

Every Little Thing -- Fragile

Eh. It's summer. I'm being too lazy.

The only thing worse than having to pull an all nighter is having to pull it while tone-deaf drunk people sing karaoke in the apartment next door.

I'm assuming they're drunk.
And tone deaf.

So... as I was walking yesterday morning from the Zoo education center, to the super-secret exhibits headquarters, I had a revelation:

I haven't been anywhere.

Therefore, if finances allow, I'm going to go somewhere over the summer. Somewhere I haven't been.

So far, the most likely possibility is San Fransisco, for the reasons that there's a lot of museumy stuff to do there plus it seems plausible that I could get around there without a car. I'm open to other destinations, particularly if there's a possibility with meeting up with people.

So, let's go. =D

So the budget is turned in. Not "done" but "given up upon" in the same way a novel is done.

Right now, the big things to take care of is: Getting an internship for the summer (possible? maybe?), writing a paper on human resource issues for management class (I wonder how the complexities are really), and ...

THIS THING!

The exhibit is opening on Saturday and will go through Monday. Yum.

If you have a twitter account you can follow us at adviceexhibit.

Also: Akiyama is full of awesome. That is all.

Just letting everyone know that I'm alive and not suffering a mental breakdown.

I just have a ton of work to do.

My glasses broke.

Fortunately, I have some old-but-unopened contact lenses.

But I feel so naked...

Well, yesterday was productive! Yay.

Plus... free ice cream at the Haagen Dazs on the Ave. +1
Plus... Liar Game vol 8 starting to be released. +1
Plus... The little fandom finally has some porn! +1
Plus... The whole job search thing for Muu sounds like it's going so much better than the one in Chambana. +1

Muu, will appreciate the wildflower seeds.

Non-specific rantyrant thing.

So...things are sort of in limbo right now. I've just been trying to keep a low profile, so that no one has to deal with the angst.

Really, I know what I want more than anything: Someone who will grab me by the shoulder, get on my case, and tell me, "Stop screwing around with unimportant things, and get your work done." In short, I want someone who cares enough to kick my butt. Yes, I know that it doesn't feel good to be that person, but it does a ton of good. This is why I want someone like that so badly, and why I value it.

And I don't have that. At all.

Instead, I'm sort of having to be in that position myself. Moreso, I feel like I have to think of everything because the person involved DOESN'T.

And thus, I have to waste time in the Museology basement waiting for things to come together.

Grr...

I totally forgot that I had a group meeting at 6:00. >.<

Sorry, Muu. I'm not going to be home before you have to get to work. ; ; I'd appreciate dinner, but no worries. I'm gonna have to grab something after I finish my observations.

If I had remembered, I'd have brought the laptop.

Edit: Heck, I'm probably going to need the laptop anyway, so I guess I'll be headed home about now, and I'll just have to leave just after I get back.

Love you.

That is, I'm no longer waking up in the middle of the night crying...yeah, I'm still avoiding everything, which is bad. But still.

Anyway.

Happy thoughts. ^^

Muu's birthday was Wednesday, and so we spent a lot of time together on Monday and Wednesday, including having dinner at Art of the Table (Happy Monday's ftw!), and shared some delicious NOMs! Muu and I also ate at the communal table, since that's all that was free when we arrived. Food is good.

I'm feeling a little better about the Social Tech course now that we're starting to work on our group project (creating an exhibition that will go up at the HUB during graduation week), and working on our individual projects (working on a social technology plan for a client).

I've been using fandom as an escape (too much perhaps)especially now that Round 4 is starting to come out in Japan (and unfortunately fortunately I can't get Young Jump here), so I can start speculating about what comes next. All I have to say is that there better be turmoil. =D

( Random Fangirling Speculation )

*hugs*

I don't know when or how it happened, but it feels like there's an insurmountable wall between me and everyone else in the world.

Everything I do, or don't do, is because of this fact.

Posting this from an undisclosed coffee house.

Muu had the day off today, and since all I really had to do is just a tiny little assignment for my management class and not attend class, we went down to campus together. So first, we picked up a little notebook for Muu (protip: if Jais gets a fancy-pants electronic thing, you can guarantee that Muu will want one for himself). So now he has the same laptop named Kanzaki, only his is navy blue and named Fukunaga (was wanting him to name it Akiyama, but he likes snarky gender-benders better, so =P).

The really nice thing though is that the cherry-blossoms are all over campus right now, so we went down to the quad and sat under a tree and watched the pinkness. Oh, and have I mentioned it's gorgeous today? It's in the 50s, and sunny. Right now we're in our favoriteish coffee house, bathing it what is probably the essence of Seattle, books, laptops, weird people, and dogs passing by on the sidewalk outside as Indy rock music plays in the background. Oh, and we can see the space needle from here.

Yes, barring my missing something really crucial, the assignment actually got done while I was here. O.o The next thing I need to do is present my notes from my Friday meeting to present tomorrow for the Audience Research meeting, and if I'm really good, I'll get a blog set up for the Museum and Social Issues at AAM.

Oh! I know what it was I needed to do! Well, I can't really do it easily until I get home.

Love you all. <3

For kmegumi2:

Muu apparently checked on that lemon vs. lime thing at work. They used limón for both lemons and limes. So it might be a Castillian Spanish vs. Latin American Spanish thing.

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me!"
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will post the answers to the questions (and the questions themselves) on your blog or journal.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. And thus the endless cycle of the meme goes on and on and on and on

( Questions from Starry! )

I guess...for those interested. I'm still alive. I've started my third quarter. Which is uh...interesting in the looseness of all the schedule. I'm spending a lot of time on the zoo, and even more time on the internet. Oh, and I have to create a budget for a museum completely of my own devising. So last week, I took part (unsuccessfully) in a social experiment at the zoo. Then I attended an actual class by Nina Simon of Museum 2.0. Then I had some meetings with the Museum and Social Issues practicum, and sort of helped develop policies for a blog that we're trying to get up by the time AAM comes around. And then I had some meetings for the sake of Audience Research Practicum, and did some work at the zoo, which basically meant attending a meeting and then yesterday watching an entrance for an hour and a half and couting how many people went in.

Did I mention that I only have one traditional 'class' this quarter?

I'm writing fanfic, for a non-existent fandom that no one cares about. Of the really bad shipping kind. Perhaps, I'm more hopeless than I think I am. Or it's just my nature that when there's absolutely no explicit romance, that I automatically gravitate towards love. Or maybe Akiyama and Nao are JUST THAT COOL. =P I'm gonna maybe see about fixing up some minor issues with them and posting them on LJ.

Oh, and because so much of my school work seems to depend on the computer, and I'm tired of the museology macs, I caved and bought a mini-laptop (named Kanzaki, because yes, I am a dork!). It's spiffy and weighs less than 3 pounds, and this will be the only time I brag about acquiring an object.

Muu and I have chocolate bunnies for Easter. I wish all my friends who celebrate it for more than the chocolate, the duckies, and the bunnies a very happy Easter!

Happy Birfday GUMI GUMI!

Here's hoping that today is a good day (hey, it's a Friday, ne?). =D

Also please to request fic/music/iconage/that I write in proper English/etc.

( I'm sure if I say it aloud, legions of internet soldiers will be sent for my head. )

New quarter starts next week. Wish me luck.

I miss you.

Are you okay?

Please come back.

You know what would be really nice?

If I could wake up at a decent hour....

I think I slept in till 6:00 a.m. yesterday.

I went to bed at about 10:30 p.m. last night, and woke up at about 2:30....

I hope this doesn't set a trend for spring break.

Also: Crossed off most of my school to do list.

Yes, still fangirling Liar Game. Still think that Akiyama is the coolest hero ever. Still think that Nao is probably the only 'yasashii' heroine I will ever actually love. Still ship them like burning. Still think Fukunaga can join in on a threesome.

Still want Volume 9 to come out.
