So it's 1:21am, Tuesday morning, and maybe right now isn't the time to be starting another Blog, but I haven't written since Friday at lunch and I feel like I've deserted myself ... somehow.
I discovered the Japanese Pop group 'Hey! Say! JUMP' as well as the Japanese dramas 'Sensei Wa Erai', 'Scrap Teacher', '1 Litre of Tears' and right now I'm on 'Last Friends'. HSJ consists of 10 boys, ages 13-19, forming a pop/rock group. Sensei Wa Erai has four of the ten members in the cast and the same actors (I'm almost positive) are in Scrap Teacher. Their song, 'Mayonaka No Shadow Boy' is the theme song (although it plays at the end of each Episode, it's still the theme). SWE is about a young boy (Nakajima Yuto) who wants to grow up quickly. Him and his friends get a bad homeroom teacher and while trying to help the teacher become better they improve their own lives instead. I cried at the end, so it's good. ST is about another young boy (Nakajima Yuto again) who is bullied at school when a new teacher comes along. The school is set to be demolished the next year so everyone, including the new optimistic & naive teacher give up on it. Then three transfer students show up and in each Episode they confront a teacher on their injustices and help make the school a better place. It's overdramatic at times, but they're aware of it (it's the style of doramas anyway) and make jokes throughout. I haven't finished it yet, though.
1LOT is based off a true story of a 15 year old girl, Ikeuchi Aya, who developes a disease that over time cause the body to stop working and after a number of years, cease all functions. The truly sad part is that the mental mind does not change; she is acutely aware of everything around her. Basically, she has to deal with little by little, losing her freedom and trying to cope with her life. It's 11 episodes long, plus a Special Episode, and I cried at each one; especially 8 & 10.
We all know how I write fan fiction, right ? Well near the end of last week I got a Review on one of my stories from 'Fallen Angel WIngs', a Death Note fan fiction writer whom I deeply admire. She's my favourite DN author and she was telling ME how much she liked my fiction. She was saying how she understood the plot (fuck, just when I mention Sailor Moon that toy wand you guys got me for my birthday went off ... it sits in the corner of my room and every now & then activates without anything near it moving ... but I digress) and that I was good with detail and she was trying to Review for a while but either ff.net would be having issues or her internet would crap out.
My jaw just dropped (this isn't an expression; you guys know I actually do this when shocked) and all I could do was stare at the screen. I was telling Jasmine about it in Math today and she said, "So is this a real author or just an online one?" and I told her online. Then she said, "Well, that's just like me reviewing your story and saying you're good..." She clearly didn't get where I was coming from. So I explained it to her like this:
"The internet world is different, though. There are online celebrities in the fan fiction world. Say, if I were to get a message from Princess Destiny, the biggest Moon Fiction writer of all time, that would be like you getting a message from Joey (her favourite member of Slipknot)."
She just began to gush and told me she understood, lol. Honestly, it meant SO much to me, I can't even put it into words still. For her to go through the trouble to coming back to my story multiple times to leave a Review and to tell me how much she appreciated it (she told me I reminded her how much she used to like Sailor Moon) was surreal to me.
Zack, I know how this sounds. Let it put it to you this way: If Lady Gaga found your Blog and told you she thought you sounded cute and were doing a good job, would you not melt onto the floor in her online-presence ?
I'm not sure what else to write about, it's 1:38am and I'm uber tired. The clocks went ahead a couple nights ago and today on the way home today I actually fell asleep on the metrobus ... ugh. Tomorrow I have work 4-10pm so I REALLY have to be awake.
Ooh, Saturday night to Sunday evening we didn't have hot water. The tank broke or something, so mid afternoon on Sunday dad turned off all the water to fix it. But before turning it off he forgot to get me some water so I could wash my hair & get cleaned for work (I had a 4-10pm shift), so I had to call into work saying I had no running water and couldn't get clean so I couldn't come into work. They must think I'm a horrible liar.
Another ooh; I can now write in japanese !!; sort of. I printed off sheets of all the hiragana & katakana symbols so I can write anything I need to, pretty much, but I am nowhere near ready to tackle kanji. For now I'm learning it all online but I know enough romanji (spelling japanese words with the English alphabet) to write a nice amount of words in katakana (more advanced that hiragana but still below kanji in technicality).
Today in Chemistry, Simon said to the class: "I don't think I have anything else to say about your shitty marks."
A few months back: "You guys know how to do this, you just lack the confidence."
I wonder the fuck why we have no confidence, sensei.
