Rules: Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 10 weird habits/things/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you need to choose 10 people to be tagged and list their names. No tagbacks.


1) I tend to balance -everything- (stereotypical Libra), including my optimism/pessimism compared to those around me. So sometimes I can be hard core cynical and the next moment I can be naively optimistic. (And yes, this does drive others crazy XD; )

2) I have a weird need to be a martyr. It makes me feel more comfortable. (Come on, I've said and meant it that I'd want to be Shirou Kamui from X >.>; )

3) I have never done the dating scene thing. Or been to a bar or dance club. Ever.

4) If I have cash on me, I tend to spend it like crazy, but I'm reluctant to use plastic. (Thankfully I rarely have cash XD; )

5) My favorite drink is actually water and my favorite food is different kinds of rice

6) I have never broken a bone or been stung by a bee or been bitten by a dog. (I have had stitches though)

7) I love the idea of cooking and collecting recipes and creating dishes, but I have trouble doing much more than boiling water with confidence XD;;

8) I have my own car, but I haven't driven since I got my license like 5 years ago...

9) Every place I have worked so far save one (WWU Dining Hall) has closed down after I left... (We'll see about the most recent Waldens, eh? >D j/k)

10) I still have a blanket that was bought for me before I was even born. (Or at least I have the pieces of it that still exist >.>;; )

Tagging ummm [livejournal.com profile] kyoukosama (ha now you REALLY need to finish it), [livejournal.com profile] ember_donovan, [livejournal.com profile] fllmtlarchivist, [livejournal.com profile] kin_leung, [livejournal.com profile] kurosakihisoka, [livejournal.com profile] minasehijiri, [livejournal.com profile] momijizukamori, [livejournal.com profile] rosek, [livejournal.com profile] sv_chan, [livejournal.com profile] youkofujima. If you guys want of course XD

--------

In other news, I got a new job! Haggens checker! <3 Now its just off to do a drug test tomorrow and within the week renew my food handler's permit.

I'm sooooooooo relieved. *phew* ^______________^
chiba_yuriko: (Chin in Hand (Fai) - susuyo)
I feel much better now. *hugs to those who calmed me down from my uber fretting stage* I'll just do my best to not get into a rut. That's what I need to do.

BUT, onto the point of this rather pointless post: The Illusionist. Awesome movie. Dude, I want to go out and buy this.

And if I had a job already, I probably would. As it is, it shall go on the must buy list with things like Brotherhood of the Wolf and Hero. *nods* [livejournal.com profile] kaitou_marina I think you'd really like this one too.

And a not so awesome movie? Epic Movie. Yeah, parts of it were funny, but it was just... trying so hard it felt like in places. Saw it for my sister's birthday with her friends and just... omg, Mom was like "0.0 I didn't expect it to be that bad." We may have scarred one of Brianna's friends for life.

>.>

Oh well. ^___________^ Yeah, it was okay, sorta funny. If anyone has seen it, the ending "battle" sequence just killed me because I was associating. *uses Dio voice* THE WORLD! *shot ded*
chiba_yuriko: (Ghosts Gaining (Syaoran) - tsukicons)
Ugh... I hate feeling like I let people down. But sometimes I'm so unmotivated and lazy that I can't seem but help doing it. And I hate that. So I'll get all worked up after and stay on top of things for a little while until some time passes and then.... then predictably things go back to the way they always are.

I don't know why I have no ambition. I really don't. I'm very apathetic about most things, but then I feel guilty for being so. So I guess I'm only apathetic to my own future? To my own commitments? I dunno....

*sighs*

I want to change. And invariably, I'll try to change, last a while and then... well I guess we'll see.

Sorry to everyone I have let down recently.

And in the past.

I'll try my best to keep from doing so again...



PS - This has absolutely nothing to do with my being at home right now, no one here is upset with me right now. Thank god.
chiba_yuriko: (Pulling Apart (Kurogane) - tsukicons)
So, that thing I was kinda vague about work and not wanting to worry about it? Well... yesterday I found out that tomorrow is my last day of work.

Yeaaaaaaaaah..........

I hate job hunting with a burning burning passion, but it looks like I'm forced to yet again. Great.

Got a few options right now of places I know are hiring, so I'm gonna hit those first.

But in any case, sucks to be me, I guess. Or something. I'm upset about it, but oh well, there was no helping it as far as I could tell. I just hope I get something else to replace it soon. You know, finances wise.

*SIGHS*

Wish me luck. ^^;
chiba_yuriko: (Horizon (Kuro-Fai) - susuyo)
I actually don't get off until 5:30 today, I misread my schedule, so I'll call you guys then, alright? Marina gets off at 6. Since we are both getting off at about the same time, we can actually just bus straight over to the school. We'll give you a call before we get there though, kk?

Talk to you later,

Elisha

PS - emailed this to both you guys as well so hopefully the message gets caught XD
chiba_yuriko: (Heehee (Fai) - chiba_yuriko)
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas and anything else you can think of to all my flist!

*hugs all around*

And btw, thank you very much [livejournal.com profile] sky_dark and [livejournal.com profile] angelicmousegrl for the Christmas cards! Merry Christmas to you guys too.

And sorry, we yet again didn't manage to get Xmas/Holiday cards out to anyone this year. T.T We suck XD;;;

In any case, I hope everyone has a wonderful next few days no matter what they mean to you.

*loves*

Edit: I have the cutest little sister ever. My youngest sister left a note for Santa, right, with the cookies. And her note was all secretive, so when my mom went to read it it said something like "Santa, will I ever meet you and are you real? I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings by asking...." and it said a few more things. But just OMFG, she's so cute and sweet and thoughtful sometimes. *squishy inside*

Edit 2: And in an edit that most people won't see *headdesk* I also send out a big thanks and holiday wishes to [livejournal.com profile] thekitsune for the LJ Holiday Greeting. Thanks. <3 I hope it was a good one for you. ^________^
chiba_yuriko: (Default)
So the power just went off. Sorry, Kyou-chan, that is where I went and then it killed my keyboard so I had to use Marina's computer (which I'm on right now). By the time I got this one restarted you were gone.

Soo sorry *snuggles* ;.;

And Marina - that is why your computer has been restarted, the power went out today. >.< (just saying here in case I forget to tell you later)
chiba_yuriko: (Kurogane glance - chiba_yuriko)
I was really looking forward to going home for the night and doing the Christmas tree with my family, but it looks like I'm not going to get to. See, my Mom planned it all around me and waited to do it til I could even maybe come home because it is something we've always done all together, even when my brother was out working - we'd wait for him to get home even if it was really late. So we planned that since I was only on-call tonight that if I wasn't called in, which I figured was likely since I haven't been called in once since they started scheduling call-ins, that I'd go home tonight and be back by midday tomorrow. But, last night I was told I was going to be needed tonight.

I'm kinda disappointed. And I mean, I know it can't be helped and all that and yeah, I don't live at home anymore, but... it is just weird. It will be the first year we aren't all doing it together. Calling my mom and leaving her a message to let her know wasn't fun either.

On top of that, because of this I'm actually going to be working 6 days straight of about 6-7 hour shifts each. @.@ God, suck. 37 and half hours this coming week.

*tries to find the bright side* At least it will make up for the week the snow made my hours shrink?.... I guess?

*sighs*

At least I got to do a tree at all this year. Marina and I have our cute little tree all lit up and decorated and finally got the rest of the Christmas lights up today too, so that's good and makes me happy. The living room's all pretty. Now just to get the bedroom livable >.>;;
chiba_yuriko: (Handsome Devil - precipice_icons)
Dear Fai,

So what's up with that, huh? Is Kurogane just really warm or do you like to cuddle something when you go to sleep? ^..^/) <3

Just curious,

Kuro-mun
chiba_yuriko: (So Tired (Akira) - _rendevous_)
*GASPSHOCK* I'm updating.

Yeah yeah. I'm mainly doing so to let people know that I'm going to be cleaning out my flist a bit so it's easier to read. I get so far behind if I don't read just even one day, and it's kinda stressful.

I think most of the people on it will stay there, perhaps just a few I may take off that I don't read really or talk to them at all. I doubt they read my journal anymore either. But if I do take someone off and they do still read my journal and/or care, just comment and I'll gladly add you back again. I just need to try and trim it down a bit.
Most of what is going are communities honestly. I don't follow most of them anymore anyway and I'm still part of them, I'm not unjoining, I'm just not going to watch them all.

So yeah, otherwise, there isn't much in the world of me. Working, getting ready for Christmas, stressing and trying not to stress. XD;;; Life as usual. A little worried about New Year's now, but... I don't want to really go into it. Just getting time off work is really stressful and hard to do, especially since I'm technically only a seasonal worker right now. They have to decide if I'm staying on after the holiday season. Joy. >.<

Some good news though, we finally have things on the wall in the apartment. And Christmas decorations! *laughs* And the living room is liveable for others XD;; Now just to tackle the rest of the place. @.@

I want people to come over but it's really hard with work schedules *SHAKES FIST AT HOLIDAY HOURS*, school schedules, and some friends living very far away. T-T It actually really gets to me, but I wouldn't know how to fix it. There is no helping work or school, right? *sighs*

Oh yes and by the way? Tsubasa is full of awesome, I don't know when it got that way and ate my soul a bit, but it did. So did JoJo. <333333333 Yay for new things to love on. XD

That is all. *nods*

EDIT: Or not >.>;; I forgot I have some memes I actually did and wanted to post recently. Both ganked from [livejournal.com profile] youkofujima <3 :

MEMENESS! )
chiba_yuriko: (Melting Wings (Hoho-Ed) - elystia)
Birthday was nice this year, thanks for all the birthday wishes and everything people. *hugs all around* ^__^ I worked all day, but it wasn't too bad. Sold a lot of calendars that day at least, it was busy and didn't make the day drag on for forever like sometimes it does in the kiosk. When I got off Marina and I came home and my family came up to take me out to dinner and do presents and delicious, fancy-looking lemon home-made cake at the apt. It was really nice, though I felt a bit guilty since we were going to go to Red Robin but there was some bizarre event that night or something because there were many young people wearing dresses and nice shirts and slacks all there and the wait would be about an hour. So we went to On-Rice instead. ^^; However, most of my family never had had Thai food, so that was uh... fun. No one but my step-dad really liked the food they got (and well my youngest sister but she just had prawns and wanted more because it was an appetizer and thus not very big XD;; ) So everyone switched foods a lot. Ah well... they know what not to order at Thai place if they ever go again, right?

I got awesomeness for presents from both my family and Marina. I feel so looooved. <3 We are now almost entirely caught up on buying FMA, which is awesome. Just need that last tin with its volume and the US-release of the special edition movie. And I got V for Vendetta, which I was really happy about. Got two new shirts I can wear to work and one for other times (awesome fairy print on it but it's a t-shirt and that's a no-no for work). We finally got some glasses of our own and they even match our other new dishes! And a vacuum! We got one! <3 Is it sad that made me so excited? XD;;; Also got a real neat photo album and a really cute Halloween decoration I'd been wanting. *squee*

In any case, birthday was good.

Day after birthday?

Omg, one of the worst days ever. Turns out I'd left my purse at On-Rice the night before and didn't know it until after finding it missing in the morning, going to work not knowing where it was because I had no other choice, getting home and THEN finally finding out where it was and walking up there to get it. *phew* Nothing was missing or out of place and no weird activity on my bank account, so I was lucky. x.x But work sucked for that reason and I felt even MORE sick than I have been and it just... I did NOT want to be at work. Yeah.

Today? Supposed to be a day off, but they called to see if I could come in for four hours today because our shipment finally came in. And me being me I agreed. *SIGH* So now I must go get ready to leave. Hey, it's more hours, right? ;.; I'm too nice when it comes to things like this. Ugh.

In any case, off to get ready now. -_-
chiba_yuriko: (So Tired (Akira) - _rendevous_)
Wow, do I ever feel like crying. Things aren't supposed to be this stressful, particularly the things that have been the most stressful lately. MONEY I would understand and it's been kicking my ass, but this other shit? WTH? Seriously.

I'm gonna try and clean for the day and take my mind off the online world for a while even if I'm missing some of my online friends something terrible. *sends love [livejournal.com profile] kyoukosama's way - i miss ya*

And I'm missing Kakumei-peeps too. *sighs* Gonna try and contact you guys and find out what the hell is going on.

Here's to hoping I can clean some of this place up (it's depressing as is right now) before my birthday at least.



PS I'm probably just overreacting right now because I am stressed out in many regards. Meh.
chiba_yuriko: (Til the End (Ed) - pheonixchan)
So, I got nudged. *laughs and pokes [livejournal.com profile] kurosakihisoka back*

I haven't really had much to say recently given I had no job to speak of yet and sitting around at home isn't all that interesting. ^^; However, I started working this week, 28 hours in fact, so I'm feeling better. <3 The first day was a long one of just setting up the kiosk and boy did I get a nasty bruise to show for it. But it went fairly well. The other day I worked a shift at the end of the day too, closed up. Gonna have someone walk me through it one more time though. It would suck to screw it up >.>; Missed anime club too, but it's okay. The episodes came to me. *grins*

Started some new RP plots, so that makes me happy too. Stuff to dooooo!

And our stuff ordered from Linens 'N Things came! *SQUEE* Those types of things make me really happy. *giggles*

Nothing much else is up. ^.^ Looking forward to CSI season starting and school-year Aiya! Yes yes. And started reading JoJo. It's actually been highly entertaining. Just got vol. 2 from the bookstore, so I'll be reading that and Tsubasa 2. *nods*

And my birthday is coming up, hopefully will get to go see Kakumei people then. And and HALLOWEEN isn't too far off.

*loves Halloween* I get to decorate soon. <3

Alright, enough babbling. I'm done. XD
chiba_yuriko: (Default)
So I start work at Waldenbooks tomorrow to uh be "trained." I hope the training doesn't last long as I only need a refresher and really want my hours to go up soon. It doesn't sound like it's going to be too good until after training is done. But yes, no more Wendy's for me and back to selling books and soon calendars.

This makes for a happy me.

Went to the Evergreen State Fair the other day. Saw [livejournal.com profile] shibbyfangirl at her job, but couldn't really say hi and we totally missed her calling during her break cause [livejournal.com profile] kaitou_marina's phone was off due to low battery. That sorta sucked. Sorry, Lizzie! But the fair itself was pretty fun. Got to see all the animals and look at the art show. Had nummy over-priced fair food <3 And thankfully we did not come home with a kitten XDD; We couldn't afford that right now anyway. No new playmate for Winry-kitty yet.

Oh yes, and [livejournal.com profile] bearzukamori's all moved out. T.T Shall miss him. But now we have so much room. We moved the extra bed in there already, but haven't gotten much else reorganized. Eventually that room is going to be like a "guest room/sewing room" of sorts XD Also got all the posters out that we never got around to putting up over the last year and have been getting them uncurled and such, ready to put up for this year at least.

Been working on coding website-ness and made a new LJ layout. Other than that, that is about it for me lately. Check out the new layout though and let me know what you guys think. The FMA trio were up there sooo long, so I felt it was time for a major change. XD
chiba_yuriko: (Chibi Lazy!Roy - evil_rem)
I know I know, I haven't posted in like.... months XD;;; But I'm just posting up to let people know I'm not going to be online at all this weekend. AE funness (at which there will be the spending of VERY LITTLE money ^^;;;;; ) so see you all again Monday night. *hugs* ^.~
chiba_yuriko: (Feeling Good (Ed) - arise)
So I've kept meaning to make an update, start one, then don't finish it and by the time I remember it's so far back that it's kinda silly to continue with it. XD;;

SO, I'll just bullet this:

-Finals were @.@ but got through them! Wahoooo
-Graduated! W00t! *does a happy jig* I am a college grad with a Linguistics major and Japanese minor who got cum laude -after- the fact. XD;
-The Kyoto Steakhouse is an awesome show and pretty good food too. ^.~
-Jo is an awesome houseguest and shall have to visit us again. XD That is all.
-Visiting home is nice, but one of the downsides is even LESS time online than I usually spend ^^; (I MISS MY INTERNET FRIENDS! *LOVES ON THEM ALL*). And no Winry-kitty. T.T
-Finished Prince of Persia: Two Thrones FINALLY. Take that biatch! MWHAHAH. Now to finish my re-play of Kingdom Hearts.
->.> I think I really like a dumb, simple game and may have to rent and/or buy Klonoa 2 lol.
-Almost finished the last season of Alias, just a bit more to go. One word: HA, he isn't! And omgiiiiii I love Sark *giggles insanely*
-The Gem and Jewelry Show is good for torturing oneself and finding Blackmoon character names XD; (And for helping my mom make very pretty things. *.*)
-Graduation party while at home. I know WAY too many WAY too nice people. @.@ Omfg. *is going to write them ALL thank you cards when I get back*
-OMFGBBQ!!!one!!eleven! Marina and I are going to JAPAN! WTF! XDDDDDDDDDD My Mom TOTALLY killed me dead with that one. WHOA. Now just to figure out WHEN! *SQUEES*
-Uuuugh, planning a big trip on your own the first time = not very fun and uber stressful. I really hope I don't screw anything up or forget anything vital...
-AXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX~! *dances* And Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm! VACATION! \(^.^)/ SO we'll be back on July 7th as most who read [livejournal.com profile] kaitou_marina's journal already know. LEAVING TOOOOOODAY!

And hey, there's an update in bullet form of like... nearly a month! XD
chiba_yuriko: (Between the Lines (Greed) - aesthetikons)
Evidently peeling mangoes is some bizarre euphemism for jerking someone off now.

XD

And this concludes [livejournal.com profile] chiba_yuriko's utterly pointless announcement
chiba_yuriko: (Unusual Suspects (Roy) - shiroi_kiseki)
Okay, random rant:

WHY would someone use the only specialty computer in a lab if they weren't going to use the thing that makes it different from every other computer? Especially when there are LOTS of other computers just like it besides the special thing all around it?

I'm talking about the computer lab I'm sitting in at the moment and only one computer has a scanner. That is the ONLY thing different about it from all the others. And yet inevitably there is ALWAYS someone at this computer when I have something to scan on me. (Hell, most of the time even when I don't.) And yet almost everytime, they arne't actually using the damned scanner.

WHY?

There are closer unoccupied computers to each entrance to the lab, so that can't be it. There are tons open at the moment (I can understand using it if its one of only a few free).

So why use it if you aren't gonna use the scanner, huh?

NARRRRRRG >.<

/rant

Okay. *sighs* And I really wanted to scan the Ouran spread in my Animedia and some of the cute calendar pages that came with the mag.

On that note, for anyone out there that can help - got any Chrono Crusade, Princess Tutu, Mai-HiME, or Ouran official art out there? XD; I tend to collect official art/magazine art/sketches/scans etc of series I really like, but at the moment, I only have such things from Yami no Matsuei, X (manga), and TONS for Fullmetal Alchemist. I need other stuff. To like make layouts and icons and winamp skins out of.

Just curious because my searches have not proven very successful.

And omg, they got off the scanner-compy! *runs to go switch computers!*

EDIT: Okay, new computer. Now to see if the scanner's actually working XD;;;

In any case, I've been making a lot of icons lately and been wanting to branch out into other series, but the thing I have the most resources for is FMA still. *laughs* So yeah. Been wanting to do more graphics stuff lately. *nods*

Anyway, the scanner does indeed work, so awesome. I think I shall post those later.
chiba_yuriko: (Weight of the World (Ed) - lil_missb)




Find your Celestial Choir

[livejournal.com profile] kaitou_marina posted this one and I thought it was neat. If I do say so myself, I think this fits me fairly. Both good and bad qualities. Heh.

Now off to read "Hakai" (Broken Commandment).

^.~
chiba_yuriko: (Feeling Good (Ed) - arise)
OKAY, so a much lighter noted post cause I'm in a good mood oddly. For no reason. It's actually quite nice and refreshing *revels in it*

So, anyway - ANIME. Holy crap, I've missed watching it outside of club. Not that I don't LOVE Aiya! to death, but it's different watching on your own/in smaller groups. As well as not all at once, ya know?

In any case, the anime this season has finally compelled [livejournal.com profile] kaitou_marina and I to start downloading shit again. *le gasp*

So, I'm watching:

Ouran Koukou Host Club
NANA
Gakuen Heaven

And we checked out Air Gear last night, not impressed, so I don't care if we keep watching that, but I wanna look into .hack//roots and I know Kaitou wants to check out Strawberry Panic. And we both really want to watch Princess Princess as well and to check out xxxHolic. And I wanna see more of My-Otome and Shuffle (though, lately we've been watching that in after-Aiya! type sessions, so maybe I will get to see more of those).

And then there is the stuff we've been buying to watch/stuff we own. Like Gankutsuou and Kaleido Star.

It's nice having some refreshing new things to be looking forward to this spring. *nods*

So that's my little corner of the anime world.

PS - I'm really seriously tempted to try and do a doujin (not that whatever I'd produce could be called doujinshi XD;;;; ). I get this urge every once in a while to do so, but this time it has bit me hard. I dunno, I may try to do some pictures and I doubt it will actually come into existence, but I really rather like this bunny and don't want to die without having really lived. So yeah, I may try to write/draw/doujin something... *pokes some characters about to see if they'll perhaps cooperate with me*

And I've decided I need some icons and/or a layout from the recent stuff I've been watching. I have far too many, though much-beloved, FMA icons and am in need of a new layout anyway XD *plots making/finding stuff from Ouran, My-HiME, Chrno Crusade, etc*
