Lady Gaga blows my mind~

Oh yea... about 1000 times.. or however many times i've watched AND listened to the new single off her recent album The Fame: Monster, "Bad Romance". I effin LOVE LOVE LOVE that video, and the song even more. She's such a giant already.. I've loved everything she's come out with, and i'm growing even more, respecting her as an artist.. because otherwise I may not like her since the woman is a loon and feeds on drama, putting herself out there on purpose :/

ANYWAY. Besides Bad Romance, it seems she's gotten together with the diva herself, Beyonce, and created her own song featuring her, as well as B making another version her of Video Phone song with Gaga in it. I have to say, I only enjoy Gaga's song feat Beyonce called Telephone.

My College Days~

It's already been 3 weeks going on 4 since i've started school. I feel kind of pathetic now that I think aboout it.. I go to school only 4 days a week, and only have 3 classes, one on each day minus the day I have two.. then a three day weekend and a afternoon class everymonday which means sunday can be treated like a weekday too instead of that "day before school/work" day that you never really enjoy... that's pretty great right?! But still I'm cluttered with work.. and here I thought I was going to have an easy weekend.. ugh. I just wanted to relax and seriously have a nice peaceful study session, before and after enjoying this coming Halloween parade/ festival.. but NOOOO.. my damn damn Photography teacher had to throw an over the weekend quiz at me, along with one long as chapter to read, 45 shots to take, NONE of people btw, 4 annoying illustration assignments, 50 vocab terms, and a huge sketch of a town including a lot of stupid things that we have to later create on illustrator.. all that along with studying, math included, and having my first priority to be getting my braids out because of my hair appointment later today. It's not easy rushing to turn in papers and taking down your hair, as it won't be later today, finishing it, washing it, and studying at the same time. I actually have just the right amount of time to do all this work. I have Friday afternoon to take a few shots, the evening and night to do like 2 assignments and quick study, I'll use the festival for most of the pictures, and the long train and bus rides for more study. I have the rest of the day to do my pictures, and sunday to finish up. So what's bad? Hardly any resting.. Maybe like that morning Monday.. ugh.. I really just can't wait to have those 2 hours of fun time tomorrow at the festival.. only if I can stay longer.. I really want to get this Henna tattoo, that's my ultimate goal, lol.

Pre-Halloween Fun + extra

About this picture, I did it at the start of October, donning my interest in October only as a advanced plan to have a blast on Halloween.. especially since I missed the Fall's anime con D:
That plan was faulted not so long ago though.. as the Halloween festival at Little Five Points I THOUGHT was on Halloween.. isn't.... it's this weekend instead actually.. x/ So.. since Halloween there is event less, I thought it'd be nice if I could go to a Halloween party.. two people I know are planning one, but I have no idea if it'll actually happen.. if not, a haunted house would be just as splendid.. but it's much more difficult than it sounds.

But one of my new friends, Ashlee, told me about this Noraebang (Korean karaoke) restaurant in Duluth.. it's a bit away, but we can get there. It's also in an Asian Plaza a bit like the Super-H Mart~Ohh, that's all you have to say.. and it's good to me. ^^ So we have plans to do that on the 31st, BUT that's the morning plans.. I really want to do the party/haunted house that night. Oh, and just in case you were wondering, no, that outfit is not what i'm wearing..what i'm wearing is a lot better.. a more rock concert type attire, including fake blood :3

I started school two weeks ago~

I know I said I was suppose to start in the Winter but I was talked into going to another school so by the time I start the other one, i'll be a bit ahead. Right now i'm taking up photography and computer graphics (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) along with a basic math class so I can get on board with college math x/ My schedule is pretty good.. though it still bite me in the ass. I only have class 4 times a week, mon-thurs, and two classes Thursday. The rest of the days I only have one class. Now some people would find that great but I find it slow and useless.. like I have to wake up to one class a day? Get pretty and clothed for one class, lasting not even 3 hours?? UGH. And Thursday's class is my favorite because it's two classes I enjoy, BUT it's the worse because I have to come to school an hour early and there's absolutely nothing to do here.. all my friends here ride the bus meaning they won't be here earlier than the class, and all the computers in the labs are always vacant. THEN I have a 90 min break in between my classes.. might I remind you, there's nothing to do here, but be bored with friends.. no where to go, no boys to talk to.. I need to invest in a new book.. I think I have more fun sitting in a car riding to another state. -__- And about my single class math classes, the room's always 40 degrees... I have very low circulation, I'm dying in there.. and it WOULD have to be math, a place I don't want to be in the first place, tsk. I mean my Photography teacher said we will be outside and taking trips places doing assignments most of the time.. might i remind you of the season: It's nearing Winter.. meaning i'll be seriously freezing even with winter clothes, but I endure it because it's what I enjoy doing. Although, this math is a total different story.

Last Shoot PLUG

PLUG to myself: Check out my DeviantArt account - Lovelydramatic.deviantart.com for my pictures :]

My last shoot was suppose to be a learning experience as I would be working with strangers for the first time. I contacted all of my friends for possible models, but only one actually contacted me. That was all I needed because she has other friends that would be interested. This was already enough for me because this girl was a professional dancer, and quite beautiful enough. I call her Bella.. by her nickname. Unfortunately Bella could not make it and I had to do another shoot unplanned.. but who's to say that's entirely bad news, as it seems my unplanned shots come out quite excellent: (sample shots from every outfit/theme)

There's about, I say, 10 more pictures to add to that shoot on my DA account.. I have here 2 pictures I haven't uploaded yet there because they're subject to change, and the rest I hadn't got to because I hadn't edited them yet or didn't want to spam all the photos on at once. I guess it's about time though, it was taken at the end of August anyway x3

Hello old friend.

I haven't really found it useful to blog recently.. I've been living it up with friends and dealing with life.. so i've forgotten to blog it... and been putting it off. But I miss some things and I need somewhere to say this.. growing older is no joke, is it? I've always felt.. "Ah.. it doesn't matter.. I won't be "older" until 20 years from now anyway, I've got time." But indeed I was wrong. I hadn't thought about even though I'll still be in my youth, how I won't be able to enjoy it. I think this extended summer was for a reason.. giving me a little more time until I hit college.. because from then on.. it's over.

*sigh* Yes, I'm still upset about it, but I know I won't be until later, so I'm trying to enjoy myself while I can. I found out about 2 weeks about I won't be starting college until the Winter.. January of next year. I was indeed READY to start for the fall.. but I guess not. So now.. I should do what I need to and get a job before I head out there.

Aside life... for my extended summer, like I said, I have (somewhat) been enjoying myself. Nothing too serious.. I consider exploring and finding new beautiful music, new entertainment, trips to the movies, general outings with friends and the like, the high life. So I have yet to do anything wild this summer.. well... except my adventure to a gay club........... but that was not what I expected so......... that doesn't count. lol. Getting my ID and passing the driving test.. Oh.. and I FINALLY had my photo shoot with more people.. I've been wanting to do that for the longest.. and now ever since, I've been getting more and better opportunities. :D Right now, because of it, i'm in the midst of planning another group shoot with more professional people to work with.. including some of the models, and even some getting me some pretty spiffy props and clothes to use *giddy* But the only thing I still lack is proper lighting, a better camera and setting. The quality of the shoot will be much better though, so I am glad for that.

Um.. here are some of the pics from my last shoot:
The rest can be found on my DeviantArt: www.lovelydramatic.deviantart.com
Although I'm still adding them, so check back for updates.

As for the entertainment part. I've recently seen District 9 and G.I. Joe.. which I was not disappointed with. I was thinking of seeing Inglorious Bastards because Brad Pitt is soooo f-ing attractive to me.. in that movie anyway.. and there's nothing more attractive than a war related movie, but serious and cold with a hint of dark humor and a sexy lead man. *sigh* I don't even wanna think about it.. kill me now. Um.. outside of the movies, I've saw this movie.. I saw it today actually.. RocknRolla. How about a movie huh? Thought it was a bit complicated at first... but I loved it.. mainly because of the cast and they're characters. OH! I fell for everyone. The movie's storyline really wasn't even that appealing to me.. but the cast.. THEY made this movie. I love it.. fav movie right now.. even tho it came out last year :3

Umm.. as for music, I have A LOT of stuff stuck in my head, so not to make this entry even longer.. i'll just link to my blog on my imeem music site where I have a list of my recnet favs. And if you go to the main page there's a shuffled playlist of some of those songs :)
http://www.imeem.com/lolita-number-18/blogs/2009/07/21/VRyzPrEB/abdc-4-earsomnia

Oh yea, and I hate to brag.. especially since only 2PM fans and Korean variety TV watchers will get this, but the new show Wild Bunny, featuring Kpop sexy group 2PM as the stars, is the best fucking.. yes fucking.. dorkiest, funniest, WILDEST show ever right now. lol. I LOVE me some 2PM. And I feel so bad not a lot of people understand them.. but oh well. It's a treat only I can appreciate. You'll have to watch the first episode to warm up to these guys, lol. Because if you attempt to watch any recent ones, you'll either love it or absolutely hate it.. with a passion.

Um.. back to my life.. my personal one, lol. My ex has been really cool over the summer.. mostly because we've been distant. But that was until we found out we're going to the same colleges.. yes both.. because i'm going to a 2 year to transfer.. so he's going there AND to the one i'm transferring to.. geeeeez. Can I get away from this guy? Shit. And now I guess since he's last relationship was a bad ending, he realizes his mistakes with me, and is trying to built something from that.. um.. no. I am doing good without the stress of a relationship. I rather dream about one than be in a bad one. And plus.. I have another guy on my mind.. but sadly, one I can't have. Pfft. Me and my unlucky self. I'm dealing with it quite well though, imo. So it's really no biggie. I would just really like it if it were a bit easier. And my friends in they're love struck situations is only sickening, not helping at all, lol.

Enough chit chat~ I should be back soon after this with results of the new photo shoot coming up.. oh, and pics and news of my outing to the soap box derby this Saturday!! :D Have never been to one so... pretty excited.. ^^

Oh, and a pic from when me and my friends went to take pictures and a pic I recently drew because I felt like it :)

Karaoke ♥

Lol.. random titles. Um.. yesterday I went and retook my drivers exam and passed, so I was rewarded with my temp license, YAY~ ♥ Now it's legal for me to learn how to operated the damn thing.. a car that is. lol.

Um.. my last post.. i mentioned doing a photoshoot soon.. in 3 days? And today I was suppose to clean and fix some stuff up for the shoot, but my friend came over with her baby and we were occupied for hours.. I'm too tired to do anything now. I'm so stressing now how much i'll be doing tomorrow and early Tuesday (day of photoshoot). I just know everybody isn't ready.. I hate rushing and crunch time.. it's sooo so stressful. *sigh*

Um.. another friend came over and he brought a photo album of pictures I never knew he had. I got a chance to copy some but not all of them because he had to go.

It's funny because I have a lot more prom, end of school and field day pictures, but it seem the ones others took were ways better and more meaningful. I'll really miss my high school days, not too much, but I won't forget them. ♥

That's why I hope this Premiere Party will be nice. There's a club party inviting all '09 graduates from different schools to party it up for High School one last time before we go off to college. I want things to end good there, knowing half of these people, I won't see again... so I hope it turns out good, because I know the end of the school year didn't end perfectly enough.

Anyway, it seems right around these last days of summer I only can relax by listening to good music, updating myself with kpop media, and looking at very awesome clothes. A person I follow on DeviantArt has started a tumblr blog where she shoots some people she sees with very interesting or nice clothing. That, along with her other personal fashion blog sites are just love. It's my new ventilation.. because I love to see interesting things done with clothes.. plus.. I just love clothes period, lol.

Here's the sites of her's I follow: http://triciawillgoplaces.tumblr.com/ and http://chictopia.com/slumberdoll/

Noraebang ♥

The title.. it's so random. Lol. It's all I feel like doing though. That word.. it's Korean word for Karaoke.. but i'm contemplating on which one sounds cooler... Karaoke.. it's so common, it's no longer a Japanese word.. so I'll start calling it Noraebang? hahaha. Wow.. so much then so little has happened to me since the last time I wrote here. Um.. college.. it starts August 17th? Wow. My summer was a lot of wasted time.. it went by in a flash.

So. To as far as I wanna date back.. the beginning of July.. the 4th. Took some pretty great and epic pictures of some local fireworks I wanted hours to see. I'll just post some, and if you're interested, in which I hope you are, to see the rest, check my DeviantArt gallery please.

Speaking of photography.. I've been planning a photo shoot.. a girls night out theme.. for fun. I always wanted to do a shoot with more people but never got a chance. Gonna start small and only use 4 people.. but that's a start. Planned a lot.. put a lot into this. So I really hope it works out. I plan on doing all this this Tuesday.. so I should have at least some stuff up by the week after. I'll put all the details and story and background into the final finished photos and post it up here whenever that's all done.

Um.. today I self taught myself how to arch eyebrows because i'm tired of wasting money I don't have... so yea, bought my own damn razor and looked at some tips.. think I did pretty good. So good, I went out and took my drivers test (questions) just to get my picture (the one on the permit). In which I failed.. LOL. And now I have to wake up early tomorrow and drive a long way to do the part I failed over. Pfft. How awesome am I?

Oh, so I camwhored in the dressing room mirror to celebrate my failure.

Um, loving 2PM more than ever.. and more music. Music is so great... so are hot guys.. funny stupid dorky guys who happen to be sexy. I guess that's why 2PM are such hot commodities. ♥ I have no experience with them though. I honestly have like zero game.. and no nothing about flirting. I'm starting not to care though. After you go through a relationship gone bad and drama for so long, you stop caring about what guys think about you. So yea... that's about where I am. I'm gonna laugh at how much of a dumb ass I make of myself. Why not? Nothing to lose. I think I rather have fun being a complete failure and learning from it than trying too hard and not succeeding AND being uncomfortable.

Ugh, did i mention I am in the middle of rebelling against like everyone? lol. really. People have been bothering me more lately that usual. Maybe i'm so tense because i'm doing into college soon.. August 17th. I can't believe how quick it all came.

Events after school..

So! I haven't got a job yet but that is indeed what I need to be doing this summer, if not trying to find some kind of way to get a head start on Japanese lessons.

So here's some crap I did do while doing nothing since school ended.

May 31st I went to my friends graduation at the dome, and saw the most inspiring people for fashion.. and oh.. the highlight.. they were all hot and pretty *squee* x3 So because of that I got really inspired to use some ideas and clothing I got from them and make some drawings of some male clothing ideas I had. I started on 5 of my ideas already.. those of which ended up adding in some female clothing idea as well.. x] Back to the graduation, after screaing inside, to waiting outside in the hot sun, we went out for Japanese at Benihana, then went laptop shopping for her.

June 1st Had been planning to go to a graduation party/ barbecue at a local park, but found out the girl having it was the wrong person from a totally different school.... went anyway, lol!! Saw other people I knew from that school, blah blah blah, along with some of my classmates.. stayed there for like 4 hours. Ate, mingled, ended up stealing an hour of some kids childhood by barging our way in on the playground while they were away, LOL. The jungle gym, the swings, the monkey bars, and this miniature merry-go-round thing that nearly took my youth, haha. Had a blast being a kid. No better time to be a kid than at someone else's grad party, lmao~

June 6th Had an adventure with my friend Kai. So, i've road the train with experienced friends before, but I never have with someone inexperience, which is basically like riding alone. I call that an adventure, because it's like doing a road trip not knowing where you're going.. the same thing we did with the train, lol. So! First we went to a clothing store in the city and got clothes, then a nearby candy store and bought some taffy, some truffles and some maple with pecans in it.. oh it was heavenly.. then we caught the train to our next destination, a shopping area far north of town called Little Five Points. There's a lot of nice strip store and flea markets there.. and nice eateries too. So first we got lost, got on the wrong train, had to go back and we finally made it, almost missed the train.. and omg, i nearly got stuck in the doors D: It was a frightening experience. So we finally get to the station on that side of town, but we don't know what bus to catch.. we finally find out and get there, then we're in heaven all over again. I'm talking about, this place was a small Eden for shoppers. lol. So we nearly hit up all the store. And they had a lot of vintage stuff, which I adore. I'm so mad I never took pictures.. just one. Anyway, so we finally go eat. We eat at this dinner type place where they're famous for ice cream. I got a patty melt out of this world xS So, a full stomach later, we wait for like 40 mins for a bus, meet a cool tourist lady that ended up helping us. :D She was nice. Um.. got to the station and went to our last destination, Atlantic Station, another outside all. lol. Went to 3 outside malls throughout the city. Um.. did nothing there really but scope out relaxing places to chat after seeing nothing interesting to buy.. except like 3 things. Um.. ate seasoned shrimp, looked at the over priced jewelery fair they had going on there. Sad thing, I saw A LOT of things I wanted to buy, but the prices were way too jacked up. I was so sad after that :( Um... after that, we were about to catch a bus back to the station but we would of waiting forever so we ended up walking. Met this real urban afro sentric college chick while waiting. She was awesome. She got us to walk with her. We all clicked really nice. She ended up riding the train with us until her stop. She worked in Atlantic Station. Told us to visit her some time, so I shall ^^ Um.. got home, ate Italian, lol.. attempted to do Kai's hair, failed, said we'd try again tomorrow. Crashed out of pain and exhaustion of being on our feet, running around for 11 hours. :O Next day, stopped by the park and chilled after walking AGAIN to the store for hair stuff. Got home, started on her hair. When we finished we got our day cut short because she had to leave early. We were suppose to make cupcakes and watch Battle Royale (one of the best Japanese thrillers) then do a mini photo shoot. Ugh.. oh bother. Took like 4 pics super rushed just to say we did. Not to mention watching the movie while doing it, lol.

From June 8th-Today Umm.. been killing myself slowly staying up until the next day's afternoon fueling only on Korean and Japanese media, peanut butter and banana open face sandwiches and water. lol. Seriously..

Um.. saying that in detail, I've finished Japanese Drama Absolute Boyfriend, anime Soul Eater and Ouran High School Host Club, caught up from being way behind on Bleach, um.. started re watching anime Blue Gender, started watching Japanese movie Last Quarter, finished part one of Korean Variety show Mnet Scandal with Nichkhun, and watched two long episodes of another Korean Variety show Idol Army. Been through a HUGE phase of FANDOM with new hot Korean boy group 2PM.. after that finally settled a bit, switched over to Korean B5 group SHINee on whom I now favor.. not over 2PM, never, but I'm into them now.. um.. been through kpop music like there's no tomorrow.. listening to great groups and adding new songs to my mp3 player. Watched yet another Korean variety show, Intimate Note, with guests Big Bang. *sigh* Did I mention my nights have been sleepless?? Um.. recently joined like a Japanese version of Deviant Art but way better as it's only for pros.. had to maneuver my way into getting on there.. since I can't read a lick of Japanese.. but it's worth it. Um yea.. spend time lost in translation on there.. and yea.. all that Asian goodness.

High School END

I graduated May 23rd :D Yay.. whoopie and all that shabang. Well.. I didn't get into the college I had been finally wanting to go to.. GA St te, so.. I had planned to go to Georgia Perimeter.. which is a two year school. The whole point in going there is basically to get a good start in. I didn't get accepted to GA State because my test score for the graduation test didn't meet the limit.. missed it by 20.. -_- Yeah yeah.. don't really think those tests are accurate messures of your skills anyway, so who cares. The good thing is, this two year school doesn't require the tests, you just have to have a good enough GPA from school, and that I have. Plus, you can transfer to whatever school you want from there. And since they have Japanese classes there, and it's cheaper and easier, it's like it's like i'm getting a crash course of college like before going to university :3 The only thing now, I have to send them my final transcript so they can let me know i'm admitted in before it's too late :/

Anyway, small update on prom (since i do not want to get into it): failed to do after party plans, but did have my own little party x3 Okay.. rode in a limo with my friends.. had a blast. Just to inform you, me and my date didn't really know each other, me and him (brian) had only knew each other prior because he recently started doing our yard work. Yep.. perfect lifetime story, took the hot yard boy to prom. LOL. Seriously. But we were w ell aquainted before and got a long great, plus it was so last minute since my bitchass ex-boyfriend, turned around and switched dates like 2 weeks before prom. -_- That's okay.. yard boy back up xD

Anyway, the only thing that sorta messed up my prom was, Brian was NOT a dancer. A slow dancer..okay, but when the shake your booty songs came on, which was most of the time, he was not with it :/ Now.. i'm not such a dancer myself, but sheesh, I do know how to follow the beat, and I do know how to move! And it was so awkward leaving him.. ugh.. i should of just went to the dance floor alone.. that way I could of got someone to dance with. Kinda messed up you wanna dance, but your date, who can't dance, won't leave your side, that way, no one else will but in. D:

Anyway.. tell me why, toward the end of the night while voting for prom king & queen, I saw MY name for prom queen. I was like going down the list.. "mmm.. jasmine.. mm natalie.. mm portia... mm.. PORTIA?! O~O wtf?!!?!?!?!?!" Lol.. so naturally, I voted myself and started campaigning late as hell. I mean, if I KNEW i was nominated for prom queen, I would of definately used my salesmen skills and OWNED them. lol. Um.. random.. prom food was gooood :3 They had skewers and shiskabobs, and shrimp baby cakes and chicken, and sweet meatballs and salas and this huge delicious fruit bowl. They even had the home made ghetto punch where you can totally spike it with alchohol x3

So.. after they called the prom queen nominees out and I lost like I knew I would, we left cause we had to turn in the limo, lol. Um.. we went to Waffle House and Brian made up for his lack of feel for music by buying me LOTS of yummy food and feeding it to me like a pretty guy in a romance comedy :D My friends were eating it up.. i thought it was cute and funny. DAMN that food was good.. but also, we saw some guys that graduated from our school last year that we hated (except one hot guy i use to crush on) that kept sexually harassing us. It was funny at first because they seemed so desperate, but it got a bit annoying when they started grabbing at us. I was starting to punch the shit out of one of them. Then it rained so we rushed out, dropped in on an after party, then dropped people off, then went back to my best gay friend's house and chilled watch an old movie. Then I fell asleep on top of my date on the couch. I wonder why he didn't bother waking me up.. -_- Oh yea.. he was liking it!! lol.. we flirted and stuff but then it was like 5 am, so he took me home and stayed over for a drink and headed out. All in all, it was a good night. Oh.. did I say I was going to keep this small? Mm.. got carried away x/

SO! Moving on the last week of school: Graduation practice was crucial!! Soooooo annoying and a lot of waste of time. Mostly because I had to sing in front of a grumpy, rude, chilish, senior class at 9 in the morning for a week, and practise everything else for like 6 hours.

Other things that week including the senior picnic, senior recognition day, and yearbook signing. Those pictures are down below, enough talking x3

Let's play catch up

Soooo.. it's a week before prom and i'm semi-ready.. it's all very stressful.. I really don't want to do things like they're planned but.. kinda don't have a choice.

So my prom date.. his name is Brian.. and he goes to the college my aunt works at. She knows his father and now Brian does our yard work. He's not someone i'd regularly fall for in looks, but he is cute :) handsome and charming, lol. Who knew those still existed? The problem with him though is, he's like.. a genius.. literally. Okay.. so why is that a problem right? Well.. Brian's 19 and already a pilot.. he's working in school to get a certain licence but he has legal right to fly.. kind of like a permit, lol. He has his own lawn business, buying his own tools, has his own car, knows about plumbing, electric wiring and all about problem solving. Great with like all core school subjects, stays on top of the news and he's VERY logical. Only a year older than I. That puts me and him in two whole different levels. I can't help but feel lowly when talking to him. lol. Maybe that's stupid.. but, I feel out of place. Now I feel like everything I do has to be good enough for his standards.. because they're way above mine :/ But the good thing through all this is, he's sweet to me, and takes making me determined serious.. even though he doesn't know how I feel about him.. i'm glad he's like that because it does push me to work harder.. so looking at this positively.. maybe it's a great thing to have him around. I think I finally understand what people mean when they say surround yourself around winners, not losers. Winners can only push you forward, but losers hold you back and make you like them. I know, when I get to college, I will surround myself around more great people, even if they end up stuck up and snobbish, because it will only boost my self esteem and will power to do better than them :) I wish I'd learned this sooner, maybe then my scores would be better. x/

Anyway, moving on, me and Brian are going together to pick out his stuff for prom sometime this week. I hope that doesn't turn out awkward.. because we still are getting to know each other so.. you know how that goes, lol.

Um, the rest my life. So, for about 3 weeks, i've been talking to my father. I haven't talked to him in like 4 years. He decided to come back in my life, and recently i've put him on hold. Maybe that's not good, especially since he's not well and been SO pathetic and loving.. but.. he can't just expect me to talk to him when I have things to do. I'm busy getting ready to graduate.. and prom is coming.. the two most busiest times of high school! So oh well.. I don't feel like adding another burden right now.

Into the lovely things! I think starting during spring break, I started watching two new animes, Ouran High School Host Club and Soul Eater (finally after being bothered into watching it by Jordan x3). I'm nearly done with both now, and started re-watching Blue Gender, because I always wanted to finish that show. Anyway, back to the new shows. Both of these touched me! I've heard there will be a season 2 of Soul Eater, so I can't wait. But I know these are ones I can re-watch and I love animes like that :'D

As for things I love, I love learning about new artists and hearing new music too! I think i'm getting more into Big Bang and other male groups.. hopefully, because it's seldom I listen to male artists. But anyway, I'm liking TOP and G-dragon from Big Bang, lol. Okay, TOP more, I just think G-d's a cutie x3. But I always thought TOP was cool, his voice is hot and not all feminine like, but that was when I wasn't so familiar with big bang. But there's this new song by them with this new girl group called 2NE1 and TOP is just the sex in it xD *fangirls* and G-d is just a cutie pie who gets even cuter when he tries to be hard and sexy but fails because he's so adorable... :'D

Lastly, just this morning I discovered another k-pop group!! Well, they're so new they haven't really debuted and you can't find too much into anywhere yet, but they're called T-Ara.

There's some antis all over them already because they've made a music video that's JUST like another group, and they don't have their own style. :/ Their style looks just like SNSD or somebody, then it's 5 of them, geez, we already have millions of k-pop girl groups popping up everywhere. Knowing that, I can understand why people aren't giving them a chance, plus since their company isn't original enough to come up with a different unique look for them, they look like plain-jane posers, and who wants a group that looks just like another one? I admit learning all this turned me off and makde me want to just ignore them, until..... I listened to their song. O_O Omfg, those chicks can blow. They have seriously beautiful voices. Every single one, different, awesome. And the funny thing is, people are complaing about them stealing looks from popular groups, those we know most in the group struggle with singing, can't sing, or all just WAY better than the rest. In other words, T-Ara, if SNSD never existed, Wonder Girls and other artists would have big competition, seriously. No offense because I love my JYP babies, but we all know their voices aren't all perfect and have been a couple of problems.. despite them always looking stylish. I think I prefer a group of plain-jane power houses, than some stylish pretty good, just getting by group. Plus, it's something about them that seems more genuine. Another thing.. I just mentioned a new group that did that song with Big Bang, 2NE1? They're new too. A lot of people complained about T-Ara debuting with a ballad, saying new people should come out with upbeat fast songs or else no one will care for them. The debut song by 2NE1 coming out soon is called Fire and it's such nothing compared to T-Ara's.. it's a dance song, with a sorta reggae feel.. kinda.. which is cool, because It's "okay". It's one of those typical songs that you only like after hearing it so much... *yawn*. I say whatever, the ballad is beautiful and frankly chosing to do that instead is about the only right thing they've done debuting, not completely following the crowd starting off with some cheap song. I'm tired of upbeat songs.. they're so many new ones out, so why not have something to chill everything down? So.. in saying that, I look forward to T-Ara. Thief's, posers, plain-jane's or not. They have potential and I'd like to see more of it :)

So it's Spring Now

I guess it seems i've been away a long while, but in that time i've actually had entries building up in the drafts. I haven't been thinking about blogging, but now that I'm doing it, i'm feeling quite happy.

Um, Spring Break is here and I've already been to the beach. I just got back from Jerkyll Island, Georgia on Saturday and I guess I had fun. It was a school field trip for a club competition. The people went because they won 1st - 3rd at the regional competition in February. I won 1st and regions, so I went to state. I won 5th at state. Now that my sound bad, but at state, the winners from ALL the regions compete, and it was students from 27 different county schools. That's A LOT, and I placed 5th out of 6th? That's pretty awesome, I say. This happened to be my 2nd beach trip, and this time I didn't get sun burnt, yay~ Just wanted to put that out there, lol.

Every competition and officer training we have a dance, so we headed to another resort to shop and I got a cute dress and necklace for the dance. I can't wait to get the rest of the pictures from everyone else camera. But anyway, here are my pictures in my new fav dress :3

Pic 1: My roomate let me borrow her red headband, and yay, i had my red bra :D
The necklace is actually 2 in 1, silver chain with pearls and a rope with a glass heart with zebra print! Yay, i love zebra print now-a-days~ Oh, cute little frillyness on the strap part of the dress.
Pic 2: At the dance. It was wack, but I looked nice along with others, so I didn't hate it.. even though it looks like I loved it with that smile on my face... i can't explain why I was so happy looking when I wasn't.. lol.
Pic 3: So by now you're totally in love with my shoes right? lol. I am too. still. And that purse goes GREAT with them! It's a awesome bag, but it's also my roomates :/
Anyway, me and my earned place at State Competition :D

At our hotel, the beach was 2 minutes away right in back. ^^ It was beautiful except the day we got there, it rained, but the rest of the days were nice. Sadly I didn't get enough pictures of the beautiful resort, but I'll just show the ones I did.

-to be updated- April 25th :)
