Yes, I am still having odd dreams. Recently, I had a dream about me feeling faint and wanting to buy food, but I ended up giving so much money to others on the way, I didn't have enough money to buy food for myself. Hmm...omoshiroi da ne...
Okay, I will agree with Shaun...Porky Pig raping Elmer Fudd would be hilarious...visually at least. However, since I'm not just a visual person, I think it would be funnier listening to Elmer Fudd raping Porky Pig...
Now, enough with talk about rape...for now. This post is not about rape. Or sex. Or anything like that.
This post is about trends I've been noticing. 2007 is the year of people getting engaged/married and people writing books. I know of three couples who are getting married this year (well, one of these couples is already legally married) and, from what I've read, of at least two people who are writing books. Of course, those two people are excluded from the people I know who will be participating in NaNoWriMo this November.
Since I am feeling kind of left out from all the fun and I am in the mood to step onto the beaten path, for once, I figure I should do at least one of the two: Get engaged or write a book (or at least start writing a book). Chances of me getting engaged this year are nil, and to be completely honest, I am more interested in writing a book anyway. Sooo, I think I'm going to do some major brainstorming while I still have the energy and time, and then slowly but surely get started on my first book. Who knows...I just might write a book on getting married... I'm kidding.
Of course, there's always a chance that I won't be doing anything special this year...other than crocheting massive afghans...
Okay, that's all from me. I'm off to crochet some more, maybe send some of my dear friends messages, do some more reading, watch DVDs, and run some errands.
I also just wanted to apologize to everyone I've been neglecting. My mind isn't in the best place right now (well, it hasn't been for the past 13 years, truth be told)...actually, it would be more accurate to say that not even I'm sure where my mind is...
Anyway, I will do my best to keep in touch with everyone more.
Take care mina san!

Weird...
Yesterday's sleep was filled with dreams of me driving through stop signs and traffic lights, traveling around Europe, going to a Swiss prison that locked its guards inside past a certain time,...and women raping men. I mean, rape isn't a funny topic, regardless of who is raping who, but somehow it looked somewhat amusing in my dream. The screws in this prison were also chocolate truffles...huh???
Okay, this sequence of dreams has been the most light-hearted I've ever encountered. It was also filled with the most random images... I expect dreams to be highly random...but, uhh, not this random!!!
Something else: When I woke up this morning, it felt like someone had thrown a piano on me. My left wrist was in pain...my eyes were completely sore (and I don't mean the regular "Oh gosh, I just woke up, and the light is hurting my eyes"-soreness)...my right shoulder hurt...everything hurt.
However, I think the thing that confuses me most is...why do I feel like I spent all night kissing women? Hmmmm...
Aaahhh...who knows... I need to get to bed. Maybe my dreams will be less random this time around...and maybe I won't wake up feeling like I just spent eight hours making out with people. Wait...I actually wouldn't mind that too much... *hehe*
Oyasumi nasai minasan!

Well, what a surprise...
Since we all know by now how much I love quizzes, and I just saw this on Trifthen's website...well, need I say more?
Your Score: Temperance
You scored 52 change, 27 wellbeing, 80 wisdom, and 51 truth
The angel in the picture above is perfectly balancing and combining the two qualities of male and female, or positive and negative. The angel stands with one foot on the earth and one within the water at foot. This is also a perfect balance of the conscious and the subconscious mind. The red wings are symbolic of the fiery desires of the spirit to learn on a higher level of consciousness and the mountains in the background represent wisdom. The triangle is the higher knowledge that is acquired through introspection as the will to learn and understand can cause within us great doubt, but by following truth, we can select a path that leads us to the wisdom we so desire.
some extra words:
being temperate
finding the middle ground
showing moderation
avoiding excess
mitigating a harsh position
looking for the golden mean

News
Well, since the world seems to going down the drain essentially at the speed of light, I thought I'd report a bit on some of the articles I've read about. All of these are courtesy of GMX, which is where I go to to access my main email account.
1) Paris Hilton has been sent back to jail. For those of you who have better things to do with your lives, here is a summary of the backstory to this article: After having been caught driving under the influence several times, having her license suspended, and then being caught driving under the influence without her license, a judge finally decided to send Paris Hilton to prison for 45 days. I thought that this was slightly less than fair, but it was something. Anyway, Paris Hilton left to start her sentence early...right after attending this year's MTV Movie Awards. Okay, at least she was being a good girl about it. Everything was going well, the prison guards were reporting that she was courteous and polite (of course, she was), and then...on the third day of her sentence, she was released from prison...due to medical reasons (supposedly a nervous breakdown).
Now onto the actual article: Judge Sauer (which I, as part-German, think is a hilarious and fitting name for a judge) decided after a day of "freedom" for Paris Hilton (she was to remain in her villa for the remainder of her sentence) that she would be returning to prison. Paris Hilton's reaction to this: crying and calling out to her mother.
There were reports of Paris Hilton complaining that she was cold and hungry in her prison cell. Well, you do have to think about the other people sitting in prison. I mean, you have people with diabetes, AIDS, and other illnesses or psychological disorders that make prison life a literal hell. I think that being hungry and cold would be the least of my problems... Then, you have people like Al Sharpton crying about racial discrimination. I don't know how true that is, but I am more likely to believe that it was discrimination based on wealth and social status. (Contrary to popular belief, wealth doesn't necessarily guarantee a higher social standing and vice versa.) There were also enraged district attorneys, who mentioned that we couldn't just simply set up a multi-layered prison system based on someone's wealth and/or social status. Surprisingly enough, the police are on Paris Hilton's side. Sheriff Baca mentioned that Paris Hilton has some serious problems that were getting worse in prison. (Umm, yeah, of course she has some serious problems. This was new? And of course they were getting worse in prison. Don't the problems of pretty much everyone else get worse in prison?) Another statement was that Paris Hilton had already spent the "average" time in prison for her "traffic sins" (Verkehrssuenden) and that other "traffic sinners" usually only have to sit out a tenth of their sentence. (And this is reason enough to let her go early?)
I hate to say this, but Paris Hilton needs to learn a lesson and get her head out of her butt. She's in her mid-twenties already, for crying out loud. She behaves the way she does and is then surprised that people want to see her dead. I don't think that she should die, but she should at least squirm and suffer a little. If she were to die from one anxiety attack...then she obviously hasn't suffered from enough of them. Honestly, she doesn't seem to care about the people around her. I mean, she was caught quite a few times driving under the influence, even though she could have easily called for a taxi or a limo to pick her up and drive her home. How many lives did she risk each of those times? Has she ever thought about that one?
So, here is my personal message to Paris Hilton (not that she'll receive it, but it will make me feel better): Grow up, baby girl!!! I'm only 21 and I have more common sense and compassion in my right little finger than you have and could ever have in your whole body! You're an arrogant, spoiled, two-faced baby, who hasn't been told to shut up enough in her life. Do yourself a favor: travel around the world incognito (if that is at all possible), go to developing countries, rely on yourself and the kindness of others...and not on your and/or the Hilton money, abstain from parties and alcohol and the social scene in general, and then maybe you will be ready to show yourself in public again.
2) Prince Harry is thinking about leaving the military. Why this? Because in addition to not letting him go to Iraq, he also isn't allowed to serve in Afghanistan. Why this? Because not only have so many soldiers died already, not only is it a highly dangerous area for the average soldier to be in, but it is especially dangerous for a member of one of the most widely-recognized royal families to be in.
According to several reports, Prince Harry is fully aware of this, but being denied both assignments kind of signaled an early death to his young military career (in addition to these denials being a blow to his blue-blooded ego). So, he is now supposedly thinking about "retiring" early from the military. Instead he wants to concentrate on humanitarian work, such as the organization Sentabale in the South African kingdom Lesotho, which helps AIDS-orphans and was established by Prince Harry as a memorial to his mother.
My thoughts: Go for the humanitarian work. Your mother will be proud of you and you'll most likely help more people with that than if you were to stay in the military and drive yourself crazy for lack of assignments. I also doubt that anyone will think less of you, should you choose to leave the military for humanitarian work.
Seriously, can you blame the boy? First off, it's pretty damn certain that he will never be crowned king (and it seems like he's just fine with that). And second of all, he's denied assignments in areas where it seems like they could use more men. So yeah, if I were in his position, I would feel pretty damn useless. As long as he doesn't leave the military to party and be completely selfish, I think he should go ahead with it.
3) Oh Diana! How many lovers did you have? Well, from the sounds of it...at least three. According to the article on GMX, Diana's first lover was the royal bodyguard Barry Mannakee, who died in 1987, when his motorcycle crashed into a car. Even though this collision was reported as an accident, Diana believed it wasn't. She believed that Barry Mannakee had to die because he knew too much about the miserable state of her marriage to Prince Charles. The other two lovers mentioned were her riding teacher James Hewitt (who is also supposedly the father of Prince Harry) and Dodi Al-Fayed (who was also her last lover and died in the same collision that killed Princess Diana). This article came up mainly because the author Tina Brown released excerpts from her soon-to-be-released book "The Diana Chronicles", which will supposedly be available in Germany on June 12th, but already seems to be available here. Of course, this book will most likely be one among many. I mean, it has almost been a decade since that unfortunate collision in Paris. I won't say that I condone Diana's affairs, but she did belong to the more compassionate portion of the world's population.
1997 was a tragic year in that aspect: We lost both Princess Diana and Mother Theresa. Don't these deaths always happen in groups of three? Where's the third one? Okay, sorry, I'm veering off topic.
Anyway, I don't know how good this book is...nor do I know how much of it is true. It's pretty certain that Princess Diana had affairs with both James Hewitt and Dodi Al-Fayed, but I don't know how much longer this list of lovers is.
Who knows...I might even buy the book, read it, and then write a review on it.
Well, that's all I have to say...at least until I find something new to write about.
Take care people!

Raving to keep sane
A lot has been going on. I am preparing to move again, which will hopefully be the last time I have to do this for the next two years. I don't mind moving, and I usually get jumpy after having lived in one place or gone to one school for about two years, but this is enough.
I also need to have my left jaw joint looked at since I feel like shooting myself a lot of times because of the level of pain. Then, of course, I need to ask a gynecologist about my ovaries and uterus because I can't believe that the amount of pain that I've been in for about a decade can be anything close to normal.
What else? I am, as always, overly concerned with humanity, the world, and the universe. Is there anything I can do about it? Well, it's like I told my mother recently, I could do something about it, but then my hands would smart from the amount of people I'd be smacking around. Okay, Spass beiseite, I know that there's something I should be able to do, even if it is just expressing these worries of mine for the time being. However, that is only a short-term solution. Bitching has never gotten us anywhere useful. So, I guess it's on to constructive complaining. Sorry, I probably shouldn't be typing while I'm this tired...
Anyway, eventually, hopefully in the near future, I will think of something useful and compassionate to do for everyone.
Okay, I'm starting to draw blanks, so I guess I'll type a longer post later.
As for me raving to keep sane (or as sane as I can be), this video is of one of the many songs that I've been dancing and listening to. It's from Scooter's album Stadium Techno (if I'm not mistaken) and it's called Maria (I like it loud). It also has a guest appearance from Ralf Moeller, who has played in movies and series, such as Conan The Adventurer (1997-1998), Gladiator (2000), Die Nibelungen (Ring of the Nibelungs) (2004), Beerfest (2006), Pathfinder and Seed (2007), and has finished work on Postal (2007). Even though he is funny in the video, I still shudder slightly at the thought of Ralf in this video and am trying to forget about it.
By the way, before you watch the video, here are a few more things I'd like to say:
1) Don't forget to read Trifthen's webfiction. He's already on the 10th chapter, I believe. So far, there are updates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
2) Personal message to Adrienne: I love you too! *mwah*

Watashi ga taizen da to omoimasu.
Well, Anime Central is over and all of my boys are at home again. Because I didn't/couldn't go this year, I was, of course, very curious of what went on. Naturally, the one person I didn't need to hear from, I, well, inadvertently heard from (mainly because the living room TV doesn't work). I got to hear him say things about friends of mine. Things that I didn't really appreciate...especially since they were coming from him. He also took a stab at trying to figure out why my friend/roommate (as opposed to my boyfriend/roommate...or as opposed to him, the prick/roommate) attended conventions. However, he doesn't know jack about anything or anyone, so he should shut up!
Anyway, I've slept on it and decided that it would be completely against my usual personality to curse him out. It's hard. Really hard, but I know what types of people my friends are (or at the very least, I have a much better clue than he does) and if I let him get to me, it will just go to show that he is of some significance in my life. If I've learned anything in the past 21 years, it's that ignoring someone/something is more damaging than any physical or verbal attacks that I could hand out.
I think that's all I have to say for now. And yes, I actually do feel quite calm/self-possessed.
Take care mina san!

Es ist wieder Zeit fuer einen deutschen Eintrag
Tja, es ist schon ziemlich lange her seit meinem letzten deutschen Eintrag, nicht wahr?
Heute ist Muttertag, also "Alles Gute!" an alle Muetter, Grossmuetter, und an die Leute, die sich liebend um andere kuemmern.
Was geht bei mir heute ab? Nichts...ueberhaupt nichts! Ich bin gestern ins Kino gegangen und hab "Hot Fuzz" angeguckt...alleine!...und dann bin ich etwas spaeter ins Bett.
Unglaublicherweise bin ich nach nur drei Stunden oder so aufgewacht! Ich hab schon gedacht, dass es mittags ist, aber nein...es ist erst 8 Uhr morgens gewesen.
Schon seltsam, oder?
Hmmm...ich bin gerade dabei drei Buecher zu lesen und ich schaue mir "The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency" und "Excel Saga" an. Also, sehr viel geht bei mir momentan nicht vor...
Na ja, hoffentlich melde ich mich bald wieder!
Passt gut auf euch auf!

Melancholy reigns supreme
I usually avoid songs like this, but somehow I am in an especially melancholic mood right now. So, this song just happened to draw me in, and I can relate to it almost completely...and I believe that I'm not the only one.
So, here is another video: Girls Aloud's "Life got Cold" off of their first album Sound of the Underground.

Some things are too good to be true
Well, as some of you might know, I suffered from a pretty bad cold for about two weeks last month, and was recovering from an exceptionally stubborn cough. This week my body decided it would be nice to add a series of vicious sneezes into the mix. Now, I'm getting the odd feeling that the sneezes might not be from another cold, but an allergy instead. Here's my problem: What the hell am I allergic to?!? I've had these types of sneezes before, but after going through two allergy tests, they weren't able to find anything. Sure, the doctors suggested that I might belong to a group of people who experience allergic reactions through the nasal cavities, but I never went through that kind of an allergy test.
For now, all I can do is take some allergy medication and do my best to find out what I am allergic to. I usually don't like taking allergy medication because it causes practically all of my muscles to relax, which is bad for driving, cleaning, and...gymnastics, among many other activities. Oh well...shikata ga nai ne.
Anyway, I need to shower, take more allergy medication, and think about whether or not I want to go to the movies (and if so, what movie I would like to see).
Hopefully, this will get better soon.
Take care mina san.

I'm done! Yatta! Yatta!
Well, the semester is now officially over for me...and now all I want to do is poke holes in the air or pass out. Unfortunately, I am only granted a brief reprieve since I have to set up a new schedule, look at apartments in Urbana/Champaign/Savoy, pick one, do some major cleaning, find a supplementary job during my "vacation", and fulfill all of the duties that I am usually expected to fulfill.
This semester, like the last, was a disaster. Unlike last semester, it didn't take such a high toll on my already cracked emotional/mental/physical states, which I am quite grateful for. Who knows...maybe by the time I graduate, everything will be the way it was...umm...before 2006, I suppose?
Ah well, enough of my whiny ass. I have a bladder to empty and body to feed. Maybe I can write about something more positive in my next post.
Take care mina san!
This semester, like the last, was a disaster. Unlike last semester, it didn't take such a high toll on my already cracked emotional/mental/physical states, which I am quite grateful for. Who knows...maybe by the time I graduate, everything will be the way it was...umm...before 2006, I suppose?

Babbling Benedetta
Well, May is finally here and a potent combination of excitement, anxiety, and sorrow are leaving me with the same bittersweet aftertaste that blood usually does. I want to feel some relief, but all the scratching in the world couldn't get rid of this itch...at least not until about a month after finals.
I met quite a few interesting people this semester, which doesn't happen a lot. Of course, being in a Japanese class with only about 12 students kind of forces you to get to know everyone else. So, now I'm quite sad thinking about all of the laughs and conversations we shared in and out of class. But who knows, we might be able to stay in touch and see each other again in other classes.
Yesterday I took my Japanese final, so now I have three more to go. I know I won't get 100% on the final, but I think that I did quite well.
What else has been going on? Well, the remnants of a cold that just don't seem to want to go away, a right knee that has been bugging me (which is odd since that's supposed to be my good knee), a sudden increase in dizzy spells again (which might be caused by the combination of a cold and anti-depressants), overwhelming nausea (that is probably also caused by anti-depressants and/or thyroid medication), and experiencing the oh-so-familiar pain that accompanies my ovulation (only this time, it seems I am dealing with two eggs instead of one, since both ovaries are causing me pain).
I know that things could be far worse, so I'm glad to have been given this relatively minor burden.
Other news: I was planning on going to Anime Central this year, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be...*sob, sob* I'll be fine as soon as the convention's over...and I guess I'm already over the fact that I'm not going...at least I'm not feeling anything at the moment. Sure, it would have been great, but oh well.
Next topic... My dad and my younger sister had their birthdays this week...and my younger brother's will this upcoming week, so yay...I guess. Three Taureans in one family...that's at least two Taureans too many. At least.
Umm...well, I can't really think of anything else to babble on about. Not now, at least.
So, have a nice evening mina san, don't fall on your faces, but if you must...do it with flair.

Video clips galore
Yes, I'm lazy. I'll write an actual post...umm...later today. Right now, I just want have everyone to join in the fun and watch some funny clips...or disgusting...maybe both. Learn to like them, okay?
Okay, don't watch this if you don't like Japanese TV or homosexuals (well, very flaming homosexuals) or butts or faces on butts or...oh, who cares? Just watch it and damn me later.
I just watched this one for the first time a few minutes ago and at least my boyfriend and I thought it was hilarious. It's nothing against Lindsay Lohan, but it's still funny.
This clip is in German and sadly enough, without English subtitles. It is from a German comedy show called Die Wochenshow and it's kind of like Saturday Night Live or Mad TV. This clip is from one of my favorite skits Sex TV with Brisko Schneider. My mother should really appreciate it. If you want to know what they're talking about in this clip, just send me a message and I'll be more than happy to provide explanations. Other than that, it doesn't really matter if you understand it or not, it's still funny to watch and listen to the voices.
Again, a clip from Die Wochenshow, but this time from another one of my favorite skits Der Erklaerbaer.
I know, another German clip. For this one, you really don't need to get what is being said. It's from another comedy show, Bullyparade, and the clip is called Der kleine Hitler (Little/small Hitler...yes, that Hitler). It's a hilarious clip.
This is from Bully's Partnerboerse, also from Bullyparade. Here the people get to say what kind of a partner they are looking for (kind of like classified ads, but on TV), but that often doesn't go the way it's supposed to...
Another clip from Bullyparade. This time it's Robin Hood showing off his gangsta rapper style. And guess what...it's in English! (Yay!)
Okay, I'm done. Too many video clips for one post. I'll type another one in a few hours. I need sleep people, so good night.

British Invasion
Well, I'm too lazy to post something more extensive, but I would still like to share a video. It's from the British girl group Girls Aloud, who have released quite a few cover and power pop songs (well, around 4 albums worth). I like them and their sound in general. In addition to that, they all happen to be quite attractive.
So, have fun with it, dance, sing, jump...pretty much whatever floats your boat.
Oh, and...take care people.

Shameless Plugs and 100th Post (yay!)
Well, I have two sites for everyone to visit. If you check my Links section, you will see one listed as Fulltang. Click on this and it will lead you to the Livejournal of one of my dear friends. Just read his posts and show hime your love. Maybe he'll update more often if more than one or two people read and comment on his posts.
The second site was set up by one of my closest and dearest friends. Again, check the Links section, click on Trifthen's Webfiction (it's listed directly underneath the link listed as Trifthen), and read his entries. He has been superbusy writing chapter outlines and typing up these entries. Yet again, show him your love by reading these entries and sending him comments on his main site. So far, I like what I've been reading and no, this is not me "buttering him up".
As you can see in the title, this is also my 100th post, which really isn't that impressive, considering how long I've had this blog. I'm still happy about it though.
Well, I guess I'm done for today. I'll try and update soon. As soon as I possibly can, at least.
Take care mina san!

300
Well, I said I would post more about 300, so this is exactly what I'm doing now. This is such a pretty movie, even with the violent nature of this movie. It's funny because yes, the movie is violent, but the violence isn't overpowering. 99% of this movie is filled with men, which I'm perfectly fine with. I mean, this movie does deal with Spartans, so that means loads of testosterone. Of course, there were women in the movie, but most of them were extras. This made it relatively easy for Lena Headey to stand out as the only main female in 300. Not that she has any problems standing out in a crowd of females... Lena Headey played the beautiful and strong Spartan Queen Gorgo, in case "the only main female" wasn't a dead giveaway. I am always surprised with Lena Headey because she almost always looks kind of tough and edgy at conventions and other public appearances, but she's always so soft and feminine onscreen (she never loses her toughness though).
This sort of leads into my next point: the love scene between King Leonidas and Queen Gorgo. It was quite interesting to watch, especially because the audience either started giggling, talking about something completely unrelated, or everyone just shut up. I had read somewhere that this love scene was described as "Skinamax", which for those of you who don't know, Skinamax is a reference to the softcore porn movies shown on the Cinemax channels. I don't know how true that is since I've only seen one of those movies and I was listening to two gay guys pretty much discuss and question the appeal of heterosexual sex. So...yeah. Anyway, with how male-centric this movie was overall, I thought it was quite fascinating that the love scene was female-centric. You barely saw anything of King Leonidas and that Queen Gorgo was quite clearly enjoying herself. I don't know if this was on purpose or what was going on, but I just thought I'd point it out.
Now onto Xerxes... He is tall!!! (Yes, I realize that the actor isn't actually that tall, but I can still be impressed.) Okay, while I was watching 300, I kept on thinking "You know who would make good-looking Spartan? Rodrigo Santoro." Then I found out he played Xerxes! What?! That was a surprise... Rodrigo Santoro can play the really sweet good guy and the hot bad guy, but I was surprised that I couldn't recognize him. I don't know why I was because he was covered in chains, gold paint and make-up, he was bald and they decided to record another voice over his.
Another person who stood out was David Wenham, who played Dilios. Dilios was pretty much the narrator and was also the guy, who had his eye covered up with cloth. I never would have guessed that David could bulk up the way he did for this movie because he just didn't seem like that kind of a person. In addition to that, he was already attractive without showing off so much of his body. There's not much else that I could say about him. He's just amazing. I love his voice, his face, and his overall personality.
The last person I would like to talk about is my favorite actor and someone I consider to be one of the most attractive people ever. Gerard Butler was, in my opinion, the perfect choice for King Leonidas. He has a very strong voice and presence, and he doesn't lack any emotions. I've been a fan of Gerard's for about 5 or 6 years now and he never ceases to amaze me. I was kind of expecting his career to take off after "The Phantom of the Opera", which didn't really happen, so maybe he will gain the success he deserves after this.
So, 300 is definitely worth watching, at least once. And...if there's anything I've missed, or anything you would like my opinion on (yeah right), just let me know.
That's all from me for today. I am now off to enjoy my first day of spring break, or at least I will attempt to. I also can't wait for 300 to be released on DVD. Yes, I'm a horrible person.
Okay, I'm done. Let's hope that this won't be my last post.
Take care people

Alive...barely
Well, I'm going to keep this short, sweet, and simple...maybe. All you need to know is that I'm still alive (kind of), and I am doing my best to keep my world intact.
I went to the midnight showing of 300 on Friday morning. 300 is such a pretty movie...
I won't be writing much about it in this post, but I will say that I adore Lena Headey, David Wenham, and Gerard Butler. They are great actors and seem like people you could just hang out and be friends with.
Okay, that's all from me.
Take care

Happy Valentine's/ National Condom/ Single Awareness Day
Yes people, pick your day. We have Valentine's Day for the romantically-inclined couples among you; Single Awareness Day for the mildly depressed, lonely and longing, or the independent; and of course my pick and personal favorite: National Condom Day (whoo!).
Well, that's all I really have to about (insert your day).
UIUC actually showed that they had some common sense and not only cancelled all of their classes yesterday, but also all of today's classes, which made me quite happy. Of course, one of my room mates/friends still drove to work yesterday and ended up getting stuck on his way back, which was quite annoying because he got stuck unbelievably close to home.
So, my boyfriend, this friend, and I wandered through what could be called snow deserts to try to free his car from the snow and get it home safely, but alas, no such luck. There were about 6 other cars stuck in the same area and we wouldn't have been able to get the car very far anyway. I almost sprained my ankle at least a few dozen times on the way there and back, which almost caused me to just lay on the snow and call it a day, but I'm not the type of person to give up and in. Unfortunately, I thought my body was going to completely shut down on me after we got back last night, I might get a cold (I had quite the cough last night and my voice is still raspy), and my ankles and calves are making me pay for last night. Oh well, this is a small price to pay if it means that I can be of at least some help to the people I hold near and dear to my heart.
The good news is: He managed to get his car back today and it is now parked safely in the carport.
I do regret though that I forgot to take pictures of the mess outside, but there's not much I can do about that now.
Hmm, what else is there to write...
We had quite the relaxing day today. We watched the unrated extended director's cut of "The Grudge" along with a track produced by the guy, who I guess produced the Mystery Science Theater 3000 show. However, that track was recorded for the theater version of "The Grudge", so we ended up getting commentary that didn't make much or any sense at certain spots of the movie. Then we got food and attempted to get the car out of the snow, but in the end, a tow truck had to get the car out.
Anyway, I need to finish up, so I can get my school stuff ready, read another chapter from "Monkey", and relax while watching "The Grudge 2". Didn't I say that I was sick and insane? Who knows if I'll even make it to the movie-watching part...
Talk to everyone later.

Should I be stupid or play it safe?
Okay, for those of you who aren't sitting in this: Throughout pretty much all of Illinois, among other places, we are now under a blizzard warning and even though this doesn't seem to be the main focus, part of this area is also under a tornado warning (check weather.gov). All I can say is: Please don't. Don't hit us with both. I know life isn't fair, but this is plain bullshit (sorry).
Also, the University of Illinois (at Urbana-Champaign) still hasn't cancelled classes, which means that I technically need to go to school in the next 20 minutes. Here's the thing, I live about 30 minutes away from the part of town I need to get to and my car isn't made to drive in this weather. Weather.gov already says "do not travel" and that if you have to travel, you should take a winter survival kit with you. I don't really have that either.
I've already had one professor cancel class, but another stated that we would be having class unless the University cancelled all classes.
Excuse me, have you checked the weather outside?
The thing is, it's not really the snow that's the issue, but the strong winds that keep on blowing the snow around.
Oh well, I'll check and see if I need to go babysit today, and if I do, I might as well attempt to go to the one class I have today, but I don't know... Wow, I think my mind just went blank.
No, you know what? I'm not going to class. If you have courthouses, public libraries, and all of your schools closed, I am not going to my class. The only way I'm going to school today is if they actually come to pick me up and take me back home after that.
I'm insane, but I'm not stupid. This isn't supposed to be an insult to everybody who has to be out on the roads. If anything, I'm highly annoyed at UIUC.
So, while the snow continues to fall and pile up and the winds continue to blow, I will sit here, force myself to eat and drink something, take my meds, do at least some of my homework, read, and watch TV and movies. And who knows, I just might get some cross-stitching and crocheting done.
Since I have begun typing this post, I checked weather.gov again, only to find out that what was listed as a tornado warning was actually the blizzard warning. Stop confusing people, okay weather.gov?!
Well, to end this post, I would like to give you something entertaining to watch. And yes, I am a sick sick person...

This week's score: Bettina: 1...Death: 0
Yes! I have managed to survive yet another week.
Sooo, let's see what I have to report...
Monday went over pretty normal. Tuesday did quite a number on me because I thought I knew where I had put my meds, but I just couldn't find them until after I had managed to make it home relatively safely and slightly shaking. Damn anxiety disorder... All I have to say is: NO MORE SNOW! Note that I am writing this after having checked weather.gov and finding out that there is a forecast for even more snow early next week. Ummm...Wednesday I was 15 minutes late for my Japanese class, which really got to me because I had a chapter quiz that day. Oddly enough, I still managed to be the first to finish the quiz. Nothing much happened yesterday...wait...oh yeah, I nearly killed myself yesterday! On campus, several of the buildings have very smooth steps, which become dangerously slippery with only a few drops of water on them (okay, it takes a bit more than a few drops...). Anyway, I managed to nearly break my neck walking down one of them and almost bust my knee open walking up another set of those stairs. Then I nearly sprained my ankle because I am completely incapable of walking...on grounds covered with unevenly pressed-down snow. Well, as for today, I woke up with a sore arm, which was caused by me sleeping on the tube of my sleep mask. Unfortunately, I also woke up ten minutes later than usual, but oh well... What else... I had my first midterm exam (Japanese) today, which is kind of early in the semester, but since I have two midterm exams for Japanese, I guess it works.
Well, I think that pretty much covers my week. I am also quite happy to be watching "Dirt" again. "Dirt" is a show with Courtney Cox Arquette that deals with the world of gossip and tabloids and well...dirt. It's actually pretty good. It has interesting characters, storylines, and like FX's other series "Nip/Tuck", it manages to push the boundaries of what "regular" television has to offer. In addition to that, it reintroduces us to Paul Reubens, who has a recurring role as the main character's former mentor.
Huh...I think I'm done. For now at least...
Talk to you later,
Bettina

I had my first midterm exam (Japanese) today, which is kind of early in the semester, but since I have two midterm exams for Japanese, I guess it works.
Well, I think that pretty much covers my week. I am also quite happy to be watching "Dirt" again. "Dirt" is a show with Courtney Cox Arquette that deals with the world of gossip and tabloids and well...dirt. It's actually pretty good. It has interesting characters, storylines, and like FX's other series "Nip/Tuck", it manages to push the boundaries of what "regular" television has to offer. In addition to that, it reintroduces us to Paul Reubens, who has a recurring role as the main character's former mentor.
Huh...I think I'm done. For now at least...
Talk to you later,

This should explain quite a bit...
Yes, I am being quite lazy with this, but I really liked these quizzes and I'm curious about who would get what result. So, look over these, read my comments on each result, take these quizzes and let me know about your results. Have fun!
I don't think that I'm a sloppy drunk. I pay way too much attention to my friggin' image to let myself become a sloppy drunk. I might be a clumsy drunk, but so far I've only been drunk once. Usually I just get pretty buzzed. And about the clumsy part: Well, considering that I'm already quite the klutz, alcohol doesn't really make that a whole lot more prominent. As for the drugs...I take medicine and dietary supplements, those are the only drugs I take. Other than that, I am very much against drugs. However, it's true, I don't think that I could ever pass up a glass of absinthe... So, yay! I'm absinthe!
I'm not too surprised with this result. Even though it seems like I'm revealing superpersonal information on this blog, I'm not really. Most of my posts are quite superficial. Yes, I am a dark and mysterious soul. That's nothing new though...
Okay, I have already written this one down in my calendar. I am going to rule Saturn one of these days. The dark and mysterious soul from Pluto is going to move to Saturn. I'll become the dictator, queen, or empress...or something...
It's true, I'm not easy to befriend. I'm painfully shy and I suffer from a slight case of social anxiety...then there's always the fact that I don't really trust...well, anyone (with a few exceptions). I've been stabbed in the back a few times, so I've learned to hide in my shell and stick my claws out whenever I first meet somebody new. This doesn't work all the time, but it works often enough for now. Slow thinking... Umm...duh. That's the way I am, I think slowly but deeply. I do think more quickly than most people might imagine, but I usually have to check my thoughts three or four times before I can do anything. So, considering all of the work that my brain goes through, I can think pretty damn fast.
Anyway, that's that, I guess. I am absinthe...I am actually from Pluto...and I should rule Saturn. Well, I guess I'll work on becoming the ruler of Saturn then. I'm looking forward to it!
Later people,
Bettina
You Are Absinthe |
 You are a sloppy drunk, purposely so If drinking doesn't make you feel crazy, it's not any fun Truth be told, you tend to prefer drugs to drinking But you'd never pass up any absinthe that came your way! |

You Are From Pluto |
 You are a dark, mysterious soul, full of magic and the secrets of the universe. You can get the scoop on anything, but you keep your own secrets locked in your heart. You love change and you use it to your advantage, whether by choice or chance. You don't like to compromise, to the point of being self-destructive with your stubborness. Live life with love, and your deep powers will open the world to you. |

You Should Rule Saturn |
 Saturn is a mysterious planet that can rarely be seen with the naked eye. You are perfect to rule Saturn because like its rings, you don't always follow the rules of nature. And like Saturn, to really be able to understand you, someone delve beyond your appearance. You are not an easy person to befriend. However, once you enter a friendship, you'll be a friend for life. You think slowly but deeply. You only gain great understanding after a situation has past. |
