Today started with Princess waking me up at 5:30am to play... We played fetch for about an hour. Then, Shade decided he needed to go out for a walk. That would have been fine, but, I forgot to check the weather before we went out... It was raining AND IT WAS COLD! XD I've never seen that boy run so fast~ =^_^=

They finished installing the furnace today at ~noon.
(They called yesterday and told us they would be there by 8am and be done by 9am. They didn't even get there until 9:30am. -_-;)

While I waited, I watched the Eight X Eighter DVD. It was actually the first time I had ever seen one of their concerts. パンぱんだ had been stuck in my head for 3 days already... For the second or third time... Now I know the dance that goes along with it~ All I need is a panda hat and gloves~ ^_^

I think I've lost my mind... ~~Wait, you can't lose something you never had to begin with right?~~ XD

Then, the sirens started going off. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate tornadoes? I hate them a lot. I ended up sitting in the basement for more than an hour (With Princess, Shade, Molly, my brother, and my mother.) All the while パンぱんだ playing over and over in my head.

I think I might have to turn everything off again... Maybe these storms will break up before they get here? >.<; At least I don't think it's anything severe this time.

(Taken at the park today~)

So... my little brother graduated 8th grade today~

I just wish I didn't have to leave so early

Why do people almost always stand in front of a brick wall for their graduation pictures? I never could understand that... That's why I talked my parents into letting me take the pictures at the park ^^ It's so much prettier there~

On a side note... There's nothing like coming home, logging on to livejournal, and seeing that...

Just, what... 1, maybe 2 days, after the doctor tells me,"If you want to get better... No stress."

I'm sure most people that might read this know exactly what I'm referring to. I will not discuss anymore than that in an open setting such as this, and I have already sent a PM to a member of that team stating my opinion on the situation. I felt such things are best dealt with in that manner and I also felt that I needed to acknowledge the situation in some way that was appropriate to my age.

I wish for neither more problems nor drama, this fandom has been put through so much in the past year already.

My Japanese may be quite awful (Which is why I don't do translations for a lot of things), but subbing is something I really do enjoy and I dedicate what time I have to help get subs out as soon as possible. I love aiding in a service that helps the fandom grow/become closer/understand what their idols are saying/gain more enjoyment out of the videos and the fandom itself, and I hope that it is not something that causes any more trouble in the future.

Since I am the "Web Master" of "The Art League" (the club I belong to at my college), I have just brought up a portfolio site. Surprisingly enough, I don't believe I have found any errors just yet... At the moment, anyone can register, make comments, upload art, and rate other peoples work. *Hopefully* everyone will be able to figure out how to use it ^^;

AND I won 2nd place~ ^_____^

To be quite honest... it has sucked. I have had to drop nearly all of my classes due to me being sick and unable to attend. The only class I was able to keep was the only one that doesn't count towards either of my degrees... I was able to enter the art show at least? That's about the only bright spot of this semester so far. I'm just hoping that by Monday (when I have to hang up my work) the pain will go back down to where it was, almost gone. I just wish that the doctors would finally make up their minds as to what is causing my problem.

As for the art show, this is what I have entered:

Yet again it has come to my attention that my College's email server hates me.

I was told last week to submit an entry for the annual Holiday card contest. They never received my entry because the server said the file was too big. I can understand that part, but the stupid thing wouldn't let them send me an email telling me to bring in a copy of the file. So I found out today... I just wish it wasn't so cold. I had to take it all the way to the administration office, across campus. I'm probably not going to be using my college email address for anything anytime soon.

The day did get better

A friend of mine (that I will refer to as Neechan) came back to the College to visit. Yea, she is pretty much the only person I can stand holding a lengthy conversation with (that I actually know).

Hmm... What did we talk about... GACKT, Ruki, Kame, Jin, Maru, Koki, Ueda, and of course... Tamagotchi (Taguchi). Taguchi still annoys her, and I love every minute of it.

Before she left, she stuck something in my purse and wouldn't tell me what it was. Said I had to wait until I opened it later... So I opened it...

(It was a Pear, it should go pretty good with my turtle sculpture~ XD)
(The hat and glasses are there just because I really didn't feel like being in the picture... haha~)

I will have to start getting ready to go to my final class of the day, my final class before semester exams... Drawing. Is it bad that I really just want to skip it~? XD

It's hard to believe that it's already time to apply for scholar ships~

This is what I will be submitting this time:

On a side note...

"YesAsia.com - Your Order (#######) has been successfully shipped."!!!

So excited

I wonder, wonder, wonder how long it will take for "CHANGE UR WORLD" to get here?

I think I'll have to sell more paintings/pottery/drawings pretty soon since I pre-ordered the "Big World Tour" DVD... And next year JinJin has a single coming out~

I'm kinda behind on Jin news... Maybe I should rejoin the Jin only communities?

Here are the stats for what was ranked #1...

They beat us only in contributors?

We did an awesome job~! Yes, I don't think we trended... But this was still pretty cool~?

#changeurworld is #36 (and above #sheiswifey which is ranked #1)

This is the best fandom ever~ You guys make me proud to be a hyphen~!

Being a production assistant for Rend Lake College = >.<

Hopefully it will all be worth it. Though, I will not be doing this again next semester

I really was looking forward to seeing Jin's concert Sunday... Good thing I didn't buy any tickets...

The play "The 3 Musketeer's" that I am currently working for, apparently continues on into Sunday, Nov. 7 (Sunday being the final performance). Then, after the show, "Stage Strike" where we rip apart our lovely set we have worked to put together. I won't be getting home until ~11pm?

You know...If people could control their tempers and not act like maniacs or children, I probably wouldn't have a problem. (A lot of the cast is actually exempt from this last statement).

However, this has been quite the learning experience, one that I will surly never forget, nor regret~

GACKT - Last Song

「降り続く悲しみは真っ白な雪に変わる
ずっと空を見上げてた
この身体が消える前に今願いが届くのなら
もう一度強く抱きしめて」　－　Last　Song

"The sadness continues to fall, changing to pure white snow
Throughout I looked to the sky
Before this body disappears, if my wish reaches you
Please hold me tightly once more." - Last Song

Wonder how much I messed up that translation... ^^;

"Last Song" has to be one of my favorite songs~

Any who... I wonder what happened at the theater while I was gone? One of the other assistants quit... Not like I'll miss her, but I hope it wasn't because of something I said... I mean, all I did was report what I was told, and informed the person I told that it was just heresy, that I didn't actually witness any of it. Oh well... No worries~

(On a side note, has anyone actually finished translating the songs from No more pain? I honestly can't remember ^^;)

Jupiter from the other night, I think I took this around 1am.

On my way to college (yes that's my college in the middle of a field)...

Inside the theater (I've been stuck there for hours at a time, some of the people I have to work with annoy me soooo very much >.<):

After the rehearsal, it was getting pretty late...

Rules:

Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you.

At the end, choose at least 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you.

If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you. Come on...it's fun!!

1: My name is Lacey (Though online I tend to go by Toxik). I've had many nicknames over the years... Lace Face, Samara (The girl from the ring ^_^;), and most recently... Kuso Artist...

2: I have had way too many hobbies over the years: Baseball, basketball, soccer, pool, drawing, painting, graphics, web design, building computers, programing, ceramics, music... Some of those I actually still do all the time.

3: I have 2 older brothers and one younger brother.

4: I became a fan of KAT-TUN by complete accident. Someone told me GACKT was supposed to be on a show called "Mr. Brain", so I had to watch it... Well, I decided the show seemed pretty good so I watched the next episode (the one Kame was on). I watched more of Kame's dramas after that, then I began listening to KAT-TUN.

5: As much as I <3 KAT-TUN, GACKT is still one of my favorite musicians.

6: I have 4 pets: Shade (Rat Terrier), Tsuki (Cat), Rei & Yoko (Hamsters).

7: If something goes wrong with a computer I tend to be one of the first people asked to fix it.

8: Most people annoy me and I usually smile a lot when I'm annoyed... That could be why people don't realize how annoyed I really am.

9: The worst pick up line I have ever had used on me was "I don't usually like goth chicks... but it looks damn fine on you." Actually... That is the only pick up line that has ever been used on me, multiple times over. >_>

10: I love to cook~!

11: There have only been two actors to make me cry... Johnny Depp and Kazuya Kamenashi...

12: I tend to be rather happy and I like it that way~

13: I'm in college to get a degree in Graphic Design and another in Fine Arts.

14: My mother doesn't like Japanese music, however... The other day I forced her to listen to Kame's "Aishiteiru Kara" and she actually said she liked it. So, he's the only one she doesn't yell about being played too loudly.

15: I corrupted my little brother. He has to watch all of Kame's shows and listens to GACKT and KAT-TUN pretty much all day long. Such a fanboy...

16: Johnny Depp is my favorite actor, followed by Kame of course.

17: Most scary shows don't catch my eye.

18: I am a virgin. And proud of it.

19: I like to tease people a bit too much... But, I am too polite at times... which has got me into a bunch of trouble recently... Some people can't understand why I am as polite as I am...

20: I have been very well behaved for as long as I can remember.

21: I'm currently learning Japanese.

22: I still have my teddy bear type doll from when I was about a month old.

23: I've always loved turtles.

24: I have a habit of calling Taguchi by the nickname "Tamagotchi"... That is just the type of thing you get when Bubbles and myself stay up talking on MSN until 3 or 4 in the morning... Such odd conversations... but good ones~! The other night she said "You know I hate to admit this, but Tamagotchi wasn't 'as' annoying in N.M.P." XD

25: Kame is my favorite member of KAT-TUN (If you hadn't noticed), but I do like all of them. The rest are in this order: Taguchi, Jin, Koki, Nakamaru, then Ueda.

I tag... DreamKitty (*cough*Mickey-sama*cough* and Aka_pine_writer... And anyone else that wants to do this~ ^^
