I've been computerless for a while.

...and I'm turning into a hermit. Just great.

I didn't damage my back by driving last weekend. I damaged it this morning by sneezing. Great.

...the mere thought of getting out of my chair is making me wince. I think it might be a pinched nerve.

[ooc: Unfortunately, sneezing CAN aggravate a pinched nerve in the spine. It makes bending, getting up from seats and moving in sleep really uncomfortable. Even walking can be a problem.]

Something's wrong with the disk drive on the laptop. I have import all my music before it can play normally and gods (if there are any) forbid that I should try to burn a mix CD. The whole laptop is lagging.

...I think I'm going to drive this weekend. I'm not sure where I'm going but I feel like getting out of Osaka for a bit. My back will probably kill me after, but it's worth a change of scenery. Would anyone like to come along? Because much as I like driving, I also like company. The boss already said I could take the weekend off. Damn but half the weekend is practically gone, isn't it?

I plan to head off in four hours. So if anyone wants to come along...

...I need to buy a few lightbulbs. The fuses in the room are starting to blow.

I feel like I dropped off the face of the planet for a while. But it did me some good...I think.

I applied to stay at the dorms and I was approved. But it seems like I barely spend time there. I spend most of the day at Kawamura's, I work evenings at the store and sleep at the dorms. It's routine but at the same time, it's not boring. 

...I keep thinking about what I want to do with my life. And I keep realizing that I have no idea. Too much thought at this hour? I think so. See, there I go, thinking again~

But there I have it. Right now, I'm here and that's about it. I suppose that'll have to do until I find something to make life more interesting...not that spending time with people is boring. It's just not enough. ^_^; 

I'm sorting my things, keep finding stuff from junior high. Even found my old Jyousei tie...and...oh. Oh wow, I found my scrapbook. Should be fun to look through later. Or when I wake up in the morning at any rate.

I really need a second job...

Going home this weekend to see my parents.

Youhei, I'm leaving my car with you. Kawamura, schedule some time with the kittens for me before Friday night?

And I need to redo part of my self-analysis but it's a relatively...well, no, it affects the whole paper. Either way, it's easy enough to fix. Now...I need volunteers. I have to do a pair analysis, would anyone like to volunteer him/herself and his/her significant other/best friend? And I have a group analysis, at least eight people, preferably all friends. Any takers? All I need is a short interview from each person and I promise it's nothing bad.

...Why am I front of the computer. I'm going to get going to Kawamura's soon. Somehow.

Um.

Someone drag me out of my dorm, please, I seem to be incapable of making myself move.

Edit: Never mind. Dragged myself out. Editting from my phone.

.......Tired. Which way is up again? *joking*

The musical went well. Everyone was great. And now I'm lying in bed with my laptop. I have free time on my hands for a while as well, which makes me happy.

And I saw this floating around. Figured I might as well do it.

.........Ahahahahaha, oh shit.

I've been on the go so much for the past few days that I forgot when the production was supposed to be. It's tomorrow. Dress rehearsals are today.

...I'm fine. I am.

It's not a big deal, anyway, it's just a production.

Well....I got my final assignments for Anthro. I have to do three reports: personal (an analysis of myself), a pair (two people) and a group (between 8 and 15 people). I just have to pick my pair and my group but that can wait. I might as well finish my personal analysis first of all.

I'm getting used to rehearsals now, so they're not as annoying as they were at first. Still can't say I enjoy starting my day with the tech crew almost running everyone over by accident.

And as for work, I hate taking stock and unpacking new stock. I like the tagging gun though. Except for the bit where someone stuck a 'SPECIAL' sticker on my shirt and kept going "free hot uni student with every purchase". Just because they haven't made anything of their lives...

That's about it, I think.

The first thing any of my co-workers said to me when I walked into the store tonight was, "You had FOOD, didn't you?" It was like having someone point at you in the middle of a crowded room to yell, "You got laid!" Because there were customers staring at us, probably wondering if we were lunatics. Though it's amusing to sell them alcohol and condoms after that.

...But yes, I did have food. And it was good food.

Saturday rehearsals make some of us very hungry. None of us can cook. So three of us (me and two guys on the tech crew) pitched in and went for teppanyaki. It left our wallets a lot lighter than we would have liked but it was worth it. We split the food in order to spend less. Udon with seafood and hot sauce. Chicken and steak. And cucumber maki. We got complimentary cupcakes because tomorrow's Easter.

I'm not Christian but my mom sent a huge chocolate egg for me for Easter. She's got too much time on her hands. I can't eat it, it's just too huge.

And to the suitemates: I don't intend on leaving the suite at all tomorrow without good reason. I will be stationed on the couch with my mp3 player and my sociology paper. Attempts to move me will be ignored.

...Odd person out. The place was full of couples, including the guys I went with. I left early.

My back hurts.

My minor kills.

...Can I take a break and just sleep? And would whoever's blasting Caramelldansen please shut it OFF already?

Sense is easiest found when someone who knows you too well smacks you a couple times and calls you an idiot...then goes back home after driving from another prefecture.

Work...is surprisingly slow tonight. We usually have the most interesting people in here on Friday nights. It's so slow right now that my co-worker let me borrow his laptop to make this post.

Anyway, morning rehearsal has been cut back a bit, so it starts at 6:30am instad of 6. Extra hour of sleep for me.

I think that's really about it.

Today's quote: "The pendulum of the mind oscillates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong." - Carl Gustav Jung.

My theatre professor has finally gone off the deep end. She kept switching what play she wants us to do as a proper performance and everyone was beginning to get fed up. So when she announced on Wednesday that she'd finally made up her mind, we were all pretty happy. And then she told us what we're performing. Once Upon A Mattress. We're doing a musical comedy version of the Princess and the Pea. And no, I am not the princess...I'm the prince.

We have one month to learn and perfect the songs and dances. Only two people in my theatre class are actually doing music or dance. We're not even doing the original version of it, either. We're all going to wear 'street clothes' (my professor made a point of giving us all these strange looks, she hates casual clothing). Just in case anyone was worried about coming to see it and then having me make their eardrums bleed, my voice isn't that bad.

If anyone around Kita hears someone running past really early in the morning (I mean, 4am early), that would be me warming up for morning rehearsal by running laps up and down the halls. We started learning the opening dance and we have to hold one pose for about two minutes. The professor made one guy stay like that all rehearsal because he sneezed. She's scary when determined.

Anyway...

I'm going to do some work now, then head to the store for my shift...this was a really long entry...

[ooc: Kaji's quotes are going to come from Once Upon A Mattress for a while. My friend is giving me a copy of her script XD ...Kaji will fit the prince perfectly. Stupid but rather sweet.]

Some days drag along endlessly, don't they...? Like today.

Kawamura, I'm sorry about sort of snapping at you. I was just in a really bad mood. I didn't mean it. I don't know what got into me. And it's okay if you don't forgive me, just letting you know I meant no ill will. 

...Oi, Kenya, if you're in the suite around 7-ish this evening and I'm sleeping, just give me a whack on the head with the nearest book. I have to get up for work.

EDIT: Never mind. I can't sleep.

EDIT 2 [ooc: pretending it's about fifteen minutes later than the last edit rather than two or three]: Taki, can we meet up sometime within the next week for lunch?

If I hear one more reference to the Princess Princess anime or manga today...I don't know. I just don't want to hear it. The guys in Theatre have picked up the nickname the girls gave me. And my professor found my lisp 'endearing' somehow. Personally, I'm annoyed that everytime I try to make the 's' sound, 'th' comes out instead. I can't even say lisp.

My parents called too. I don't think I've ever heard my mother laugh so much. My father was less than amused, of course, because 'I'm a Kajimoto and men in the Kajimoto family don't do stupid things like bite holes in their tongues'. Interesting, because I did...though I shouldn't have said that to him. Does that mean I'm not a man in the Kajimoto family? Am I a princess? I'm irritable, I hate soft foods.  I admit, there is usually a psychological block that stops people from drawing blood no matter how hard they bite...my psychology professor say that I must lack that block. He keeps giving me these odd looks in class...

Okay. Today's quote is... 
"I hate that aesthetic game of the eye and the mind, played by these connoisseurs, these mandarins who "appreciate" beauty. What is beauty anyway? There's no such thing. I never "appreciate," any more than I "like." I love or hate."  -Pablo Picasso.

Meet the idiot with three stitches on his tongue. According to the doctor, I almost bit straight through. Anyway, I now have a really bad lisp and I've been restricted to soft foods only. It could have been worse...though it's really awkward having your tongue sewn up. If anyone talks to me and laughs at me when I reply, they can consider themselves on my bad side. It's not nice to make fun of people's speech habits, whether they're naturally there or caused by wounds.

My theatre professor is going to kill me tomorrow. She wanted us to do a session loosely plotted around A Midsummer Night's Dream and she wanted me to try the part of Puck. ...So much for that. Oh and I missed her class on Thursday too. Maybe I can give her my deformed chocolate sculpture. I'm sorry, maybe I can give her Lump with Straws for Limbs (sorry if it's been bugging you that it's sitting in the fridge, Kenya, I just have nothing to do with it).

Taki - I hope you enjoyed your beauty sleep. I was going to wake you when I got back from the doctor but I couldn't bear to, so I just went to bed. Sorry I was still asleep when you left.

Kawamura - Can I come by to see the kittens sometime this week? I miss having them around, especially Seiun.

I don't think I've had such a good Valentine's since I was...17.

I got too much chocolate - same old, same old - but there are only two boxes I want because they're the only ones from special people. The others are up for grabs.

I hope everyone else had a great day yesterday. :)
