Thank you for the Dir en Grey concert DVD. I luv you guys *huggles* I have put it to good use already. So many Kyo screen caps.

I have learned a few things in the past 24 hours.

1) Alcohol, coca cola, and fatty food make me hyper.
2) Sleep is over-rated, and if I live on a diet like the one stated in point 1, I can by-pass sleep altogether.
3) I suck at Dynasty Warriors, but it is still such an AWESOME game!
4) In reference to point 3, 'Battle of the Bishies' did not go well for me. Will kick the ghei one's arse even if it kills me. Teh bish Zhao Yu will PREVAIL!
5) Most anime bore me, but if I don't think at all I can sit through anything.
6) I can wear my new, shiny black shoes with the heels anytime. After all, if I can walk in them for approx 3km without tripping, twisting (basically minimal discomfort), I can wear them at all times.
7) Old sushi is disgusting. I have always known this in theory, but it was the first time I actually had them.
8) MacDonald's rules supreme.
9) You CAN feel alcohol floating in your blood stream.

I also have a load of icons. However, I suspect no one will like them. They are from rather obscure (old) series. Now I shall go and give Grandia 2 a bell.

Note to self; when next naanima dance around like a maniac, doing head-banging actions to Dir en Grey, check for sharp objects on the floor. In this fashion one can save onself from much pain.

The toe is hurting, which isn't as bad as my right hand that slammed itself into the desk. Now, that was painful. But damn, it was good stress relief. And I have much admiration for Kyo who head-bangs and sings. Do you have any idea how hard it is to do both and not bite your own tongue? Trust me, it's really hard.

Before anything else, I've seen the Die en Grey live dvd. Kyo is God. Toshiya is a goof ball. Die is gorgeous and cool. Kaoru is a deceptive and cool. Shinya is a girl. I must see them live. Thank you eirivan!!! (and I've got the pics and urls as well ^__^)

Now to RL; feeling stressed and physically ill. Perpetual headache have appeared, back pains have started and stomach is really upset that I want to throw up.

I'm behind on lecture reading (this is only the second week of Uni) and research for the three 3000 words assessment due in September and October is not going anywhere. Resources for the essays is on loan and already booked till the end of October when the assessments have already finished. Have one psych assessment due in two weeks time. It's a critique of a journal article which should be fairly easy. 'Should' being the operative word.

On the up side I actually know what the fuck is being taught in the lectures.

Found out today that more than 50% of students failed Psych 201, which was a bit of a surprise. Psych 201 and 202 is known for being hard, but damn over 50% of the students. Considering there's ~500 psych students, that's truly impressive. What stunned me more was the fact that the results for 201 students were bi-modal! Since I know for a fact that the psych units haven't changed at all I'm left a bit curious. Just how the hell did that many people manage to fail? It's hard, but it has always been hard.

I'm quite happy that I passed when I took 201 (okay, downright gleeful), but I'm also slightly scared. If the psych units haven't changed at all (I know it haven't, hell they are still using the same bloody notes from 2001, the year I took the unit), and they have the same lecturers then, well, then obviously there's somethign wrong with the way the students are going about studying for psych.

I think my hormones have decided to go into overdrive. I'm happy one moment and the next I'm a fecking mass of depression and angst. That, or I'm so blurred I can't think straight or communicate. Hmm, I wonder if prozac can be received on demand.

I've also decided that I -must- see Dir En Grey live. I -must-. This is not a new revealation, however, the need have become stronger. eirivan, I have to see the DVDs soon. Just not this week, but next week, next week, I'll try my hardest to watch them with you.

'Cos people seem to be interested; Harry Potter fanfiction recs. Yes, I read HP fanfics.

A rather new fic; Faded Laughter Against Her Ear. It's Ginny being Ginny on finding a painting of a 15-yr-old Sirius. Post OoTP. Rip my heart out why don't you.

And more Sirius (and Lupin ^^); In Theory. Life after the war (obviously AU now since Sirius, well, you know what I mean). Remus and Sirius and celebration, and Sirius has a plan. A brilliant, beautiful plan. Beautiful. So much hope. Damn you Rowling *goes back to Sirius denial*.

I recommend everything Maya writes. But start with Draco Malfoy the Amazing Bouncing... Rat?. Be prepared to snort liquid (so don't drink) through your nose and laugh until your stomach is about to split open. While you're there check out Underwater Light, it's serious, it's beautiful, and damn it where is the next part.

The Lodger by Mad Martha is set after the war and Harry Potter takes a lodger. Quiet, subtle and real.

For more laughs, read Breaking Tradition. Harry Potter dies at a ripe old age, and an unexpected visitor arrives at his funeral. Hilarious, I was laughing very much ^^

And that's that unless I get asked for more.

I'm content, I'm happy, I'm feeling accomplished. This might not last longer than a few days but I don't care, I'm here now ^___^

....... and I can't believe I'm listening to Hikaru Utada and -singing- along with her. Oh god, I can actually sing part of the lyrics in Japanese. This is just wrong, wrong, but ohhhh, melodic music... I feel dirty.

Being listening to lots of music and have decided that I MUST watch Dir en Grey live. I MUST. It doens't have to be now, but one day, ONE day I'll see them perform live. Seeing clips of them performing live is just, just, wow. I can't even imagine what they'll be like live.

So yeah, feeling good and pretty ^__^
