Waaah, the Zettai Kareshi jdrama is super awesome!

( spoilers? )

Now on to the muzzer™ rant (these are getting a little scarce these days, haha [/sarcasm])~
This morning while I was going to bed (this statement is ironic by itself) she randomly woke up and saw that I was still up and came in and started a whole speech about how I'm completely worthless and have developed an addiction to the computer (on which I have two comments: one, it's better than being addicted to alcohol or cigarettes, and two, it's not an addiction per se, because -and I have proved this during the past year- I can in fact live without a computer AND without an internet connection. if I take away her morning coffee she'll be dragging herself around all day. THAT's an addiction). True, I tend to stay up all night on the computer because I'm doing things online, things I don't even manage to finish, and most of the time I have at least five other things I need to do but never have time for. For me, for some of you and for most people on this site or deviantArt, these things are understandable. Perhaps my turning around of the biological clock would be frowned upon, but I'd get a sympathetic "I know what you mean". That means something to me. And I'm not about to go onto the cliche argument of how the generations now have a rift and there's no way my mother would understand something so ahead of her own time as livejournal, icons, Johnny's Entertainment or the crack found in Prince of Tennis and D-Boys, because let's face it, it's a fact. I will never expect her to understand this. However, I will not put up with derogatory characterisations and comparisons with my father (something she always does whenever I'm being lazy or bored and laying about), because it's my own kind of hobby and I feel like I'm making something, instead of just sitting there surfing. Essentially it is just surfing, but it's somehow more than that. It's hard to explain.

If you understand, thank you. If you don't, please don't start with muzzer-like comments because frankly, I've had enough. Don't go on about how "she's right, you know", because I do know, and I am trying to turn the clock around, and I don't need anyone to tell me that. I hate it when people tell me what to do or not do.


Johnny's rambles:

1. Something I've wanted to point out since I first saw the Keep the Faith PV (which by the way, KICKS ASS): Don't Kame and Jin (especially Jin though) look very tired? Jin has bags under his eyes that are super evident, and Kame as well though his are not so puffy. Also Jin's solo cam parts look like he's just doing this to get it over with, with a few usual grimaces and movements which guarantee the kakoi effect. Near the end he looks so exhausted, like he's keeping himself awake. *sigh* Those two should stop staying up late doing naughty things, especially on work nights. There's weekends for that, boys.
2. Is Kanjani8's Purin a song about what I think it is? Actual pudding?!?! I didn't like them much before but THIS SONG MAKES UP FOR EVERYTHING I SWEAR. XDDDDD *sings along* "Purin, purin, daisuki sa purin~~" *g*
3. I had a dream last night and it involved me and Ikuta Toma in uh, embarrassing scenes. *blush* I didn't know I liked him so much, lol. (There was also Oguri Shun, with very fuzzy hair and a weird hair accessory on his head. Later on for some reason it got curly. My subconscious is confused about Oguri Shun's hair, apparently. For good reason too, but that's another story.)

Goldsmiths decided it's also missing a reference letter. A letter no one else asked for.
And even if I reason with that [seeing that normally my application SHOULD have a reference letter in it but it's missing because the teacher I asked it from gave it to me one day later than the application deadline] they tell me this less than a month before I have to make my decision. The deadline's May 9. OH MY GOD WHY ARE THE STUPID PEOPLE ATTACKING ME?!

To top it all off, the reference letter I have has been emailed to me. No official stamps and stuff.
I'm going to forward it to them, and that will have to do.
And if it doesn't, FUCK THEM. I don't have time for this shit.

In other news, I had a dream last night, and my GOD did it kick ass. :D
( involves death, spirits, gangsters, and William Beckett. )


Brief mention of three things that are pissing me off at this moment:
I. Emma-stinkin'-Watson just got TWENTY MILLION POUNDS from the HP movies as a whole, since she turned 18 like 10 days ago. TWENTY FRIGGIN MILLION POUNDS. And I'm can't even gather 100 lousy euros to go get myself a scanner. I get pissed off at the unfairness of some people getting all the luck (especially when they don't deserve it). If you look at the bigger picture, IT'S OUTRAGEOUS.
II. My ex-boyfriend is ignoring me like I don't exist, when I am completely normal and friendly with him, like we used to be before we got together. Those were fun times, man! Don't ruin a perfectly fine friendship! >.< I swear he must hate me or something, when I didn't even TELL him what was wrong with him and why I broke up with him because it would break his heart. Suddenly I'm this evil person he doesn't even talk to. He ignores my comments on the YT vids he and the guys made, and on his "art" on dA, and from what I hear he's been acting like a downright diva. OH MY GOD GET A GRIP YOU IDIOT. He's like 100 times worse than when we were together, makes me actually say "thank God I'm not with that guy anymore", you know? *sigh* My problem with him is the fakeness of it all. (Then why do you bother, stupid Kath?!)
III. Certain people need to STOP TALKING ABOUT THEMSELVES. It's annoying. You meet up with this person, you have like a bajillion common interests, and upon conversation this person talks only about themselves and what they've accomplished and the things they like and cute family stories and BLAH BLAH BLAH~ leaving you---in reality, me---unable to form a single sentence that's longer than "Oh, me too." What is up with that? Stop it right now or I swear to Silvanus I'm gonna kill ya, and then I'm gonna work on ya. I fuckin' hate people like this. They piss me off.

That's a log of stuff for one entry O_o
Hope I didn't tire y'all.
Must go to bed... Bye nya!

Remember the University of the Arts London fiasco story?
Add to that the letter I got today from Goldsmiths, in which they say they will consider me as an overseas student if I don't send some sort of form to them in a week, because the information on my application was unclear.

OH MY GOD, I'M GOING TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY FULL OF MORONS.

I'm Greek. I'm 18 years old and I have lived in Greece for the past 18 years of my life. What's unclear about that? Are you people doing drugs or something? Did your wives leave you? Am I an outlet for pent-up stupidity?

Every stupid thing has happened to me this year. I honestly feel like I've been run over by a thousand bullet trains.

On top of that my sleep patterns are completely reversed (went to bed at 6AM this morning and woke up at almost 6PM~ I'm talking vampire shit, yo!), so I missed a message from Kostas and he's angry at me for replying to him late.

Y'know, I like it when people ask things of me, it makes me feel needed and stuff, but when you're rudely demanding things from others, and on top of that you are completely disregarding them and whatever might be going on in their lives right now, I just get mad. And I don't like getting mad.

*sigh* Withdrew applications from UAL and Guildhall.
Still considering Brunel as my first choice.

There's CSI:NY on tv tonight. I'm gonna watch.
Adios.

I just wrote the following two paragraphs and I am very confused.

I walked into the busy coffee shop just as the sun outside was casting a magnificent golden glow over the river. In the faraway corner next to the window I spotted a dark silhouette sitting at a table, lonely yet graceful, a shadow with a powerful presence. I braced myself and walked over as calmly as I could, the people around me fading away as the silhouettee was the only thing that mattered to me. This moment, this day, this lifetime--he was the only thing that could ever matter to me.

I put a gentle arm on his shoulder as I approached him; he knew it was me so he said nothing. He kept staring outside the window, skeptical as if something was troubling him. The sunlight grew more crimson with each passing moment, and the light reflected on his glasses gave him a godly glow.

Who is this person? Whose eyes am I seeing this through? What the hell am I writing? :S

I wrote this while thinking of no one in particular, listening to 'Sarah' from the Prison Break soundtrack (Ramin Djawadi is GOD, I tell you). And this image comes to me out of the blue: river Thames at sunset, with the most magnificent set of colours in the sky, and a coffee shop somewhere overlooking the river.

*SO CONFUSED* This isn't Tezuka and Fuji, as much as I'd love that. It's not Harry Potter either, because my mind is so not there these days. It might be new. Like, completely new. Like, original story new.

That's just weird. In a good way, of course.

Day was ok, spent it with Maria downtown having lunch and perusing bead shops~ we're going to start making jewellry... Random, I know. But I've always wanted to try this. So there, one more thing to add to my lazy schedule. :P

Am getting increasingly re-obsessed with Prison Break... It's on greek TV now and I watch it every night greedily ^^ I want the DVDs again. *must rent or buy them asap* And also, I need PB icons. NOW. *goes off to LJ comms*

My moodtheme was a success!! YAY! And I still have to post it to 3 comms~ will do it as soon as I finish this.
Damn, even though my day was okay, I feel quite shitty right now, if I do say so myself. I wonder what is the cause of this... I am not sure at all.

PS: entry #400 401! Whoa! :D
[edit: I misnumbered this entry as #400. It is actually #401, because the April Fool's Writer's Block one is actually #400. oh well who gives a f***]

Now I don't know whether I'm blaming the right person or not, but he's at fault ANYWAY for building such a ridiculous OS which completely collapses at the first signs of an obstacle. The whole OS is a COWARD. >_<

The reason for this frustration is that my computer has presented me with its death certificate, sort of.
I mean, I don't know EXACTLY what's going on, but I'll tell you this: it won't log on to fucking WINDOWS except on Safe Mode. Which is what I'm doing right now. SAFE FUCKING MODE.

I hate this system. I hate the hardware. I hate living with the fear that my computer might or might not crash next time I restart it. Because that's what I did. I restarted the thing when it started lagging like a horse in the summer, and then it refused to boot. It restarted itself a couple of times, which had me panicking, and then when I turned it on normally it got stuck at the Windows XP loading screen for-EVER. So I turned it off and back on. Same story. I turned it off again and tried Safe Mode. And it worked. I tried burning a DVD with my documents for backup (because like most people, I don't do backup), and it failed 3 times. I turned it off, tried to turn it on again normally, didn't work. Went for "Safe Mode With Networking" which resulted in this moment's bastardized 800x600 screen with the added benefit of an internet connection.

What. The. Fuck.

I'm calling for help from my pc tech friends tomorrow, but they might not be available due to appointments and stuff, so I don't know if I'll manage to get it fixed tomorrow. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is the only OS that can potentially harm itself.  What the hell.  >:(  ASDFGHJKL. >_______<

The good news is that I still have a way to get to the internetz. The bad news is that my machine is not exactly 100% okay. And that makes me worry. And when I worry I get jittery, nervous, hyper, asthmatic, crying, and hyperventilating. It's NOT GOOD FOR ME.

I hate Windows. :(

Hello lads and lasses, I'm back on LJ alive and kickin'!! :D
My internet connection was reestablished last thursday, and I only now got some time to make a proper post.
OH GOD the things that have happened in my life... You cannot imagine. I have so many things to tell you guys.
There will be time for that though, for now I just have to vent for something I JUST found out and has made me terribly sad:

THE PRINCE OF TENNIS MANGA FINISHED TODAY. :(

I'm so, so depressed. :'( I honestly thought Konomi would continue with Ryoma's story as he became the next captain of Seigaku, or, I don't know, SOMETHING. But no, (spoiler alert) Ryoma won against freakin' YUKIMURA, 6 games to 4 (!!!), and then went to America. On top of everything else, there was a SONG. In the MANGA. Like, Konomi wrote the lyrics and some other dude the music, and the lyrics were written across the manga panels with cheesy slow motion effects and all the characters looking up at the sky. Of course, there was TezuFuji in the chapter which made me squee ^____^, because it's canon and Konomi loves to play with his boytoys and he proved it once more.(end spoilers)

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH :( :( :( :(

I cried when I read the article on ANN. I just went on the site to look something up on the Zenkoku OVAs and there it was! :( I was like, NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU D: D: D: and cried for 10 minutes and then called bushy_haired to tell her the bad news because she still lacks the internets and I doubted she had checked the netz today...

Oh God. Seriously, I can't believe it's over.
The fandom is of course far from dead, but I really wanted more than just winning the Nationals. Then again, if Konomi thinks it's over, it's over. There's no questioning the Man. *sad nod*

Oh well. Expect more entries today/tomorrow with extended recaps of what the heck I've been doing all this time. :D
Till then, toodles. :)

This is unacceptable.

Death by fire in the year 2007. An incompetent fire department unable to reach the village where people are being burned alive. Over 100 fires raging across the country simultaneously. A prime minister blaming political extremists for this chaos, and then later in a speech to the nation proclaiming that he is joining his soul with ours in this moment of crisis.

Elections are in less than three weeks. Of course he's joining the people in this moment of crisis. Otherwise he would just stay in his house and watch TV with nothing but boxers and socks on. What an imbecile.

This thing makes me so sad, I want to cry. For the people who died, for the morons who started the fire and who should be tried for MASS MURDER if I were a judge, for this whole country as it's falling apart by the minute. And of course, for the sad, sad government. Who will probably be re-elected it seems, and that makes this country even sadder.

On a lighter note, the rest of my news:

• I watched Order of the Phoenix yesterday. The script (and by definition, the cuttings they've made in order to make the script) was, as always, completely atrocious. But the cinematography, the effects, etc (ie. the visual aspect of the film) was amazing, the best one YET. It was a good sight, but as a Harry Potter movie it failed AGAIN.
  Eh well, I did not expect anything better.
  *lowers voice to a whisper* Was it just me or is Emma actually getting better at acting? Still the striped sweaters and the curls, and OMG the French braid in the Dumbledore's Army scene... Who are you and what have you done to Hermione Granger?
• Prince of Tennis fanfic is going great; today I finished re-writing chapter 2, and I'm going to get started on chapter 3 soon.
• NTNG lessons are going amazingly well, I got a new monologue today. :D It's brilliant. It's an adopted daughter talking to her mother, who has stopped speaking altogether and the whole family now feels guilty. Good play. :) Unfortunately my teacher doesn't like my squeaky voice and stuff but I can't blame her, she grew up in a time where squeaky was impossible to imagine... The bad thing is that she kinda pressures me to change my voice, and I am NOT doing that for anyone. I know the squeaky, cutesy voice will be gone eventually, but right now that's who I am and if someone doesn't like me he is not requested to tolerate me.
• Meh. During my days of absence I have thought of nearly a million things to post on LJ about, but without the internet... it's been impossible. Never you mind though~ I'll be faithfully blogging every day when things get back to normal. Internet's still not back, but we're on our way. XD
• Been reading the Silmarillion. It's not as bad as people say, at least so far it isn't... I'm really enjoying it!! :)

Hope all of you are well... Talk to y'all soon!! <3

Moving's cancelled. AGAIN.
They said def on Tuesday. WTF GODDAMN TRUCK DRIVERS I HATE J00.

I've been feeling very miserable lately. Lately as in, the past couple of days.
The bad thing is I'm dragging Aggelos down the drain too because he hates to see me sad. *pats* Sorry, ne.
I keep thinking a lot dammit. It's not good for you when you think too much, especially when it's frustrating thoughts.
Like, the future. I DON'T WANT TO BE THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE NO MORE. Stop it Kath, now.
I mean seriously. I keep reverting to why I like it here even though the country sucks, why London scared me a little, why I feel unready, what I'll be doing this year, what's going to happen afterwards... I shouldn't be thinking about these things now. I shouldn't be thinking about anything else other than summer. >_<

Plus, I've been having these weird dreams lately, in which I am always chased around with the intention of being killed, and it's either some sadistic evil bastard with a passion for needles, or gorillas, or I don't know what else. I wake up every morning and I'm freaked out. I hate it. The dreams are freaky and unsettling and damn scary. Where are my good happy dreams? The ones I wake up from and go "awwww, I want to see what happens next!" :(

Tonight we're all going to the book festival downtown by the sea. ^^
Meh. ~_~

Been watching Wolf's Rain since yesterday. I like it a LOT, even though when I'd downloaded an AMV I thought it would suck because it seemed bloody, but it's actually VERY good... Just a little depressing though. ><

I'll be doing those entries soon.
Till then, off to watch House MD... Let's see Foreman get some PAIN. (It's that episode from season 2 where he gets sick...) XD

FIVE THINGS THAT MAKE ME FEEL LOUSY:

1. I sent my mom to the bookstore to get me a pen identical to my favourite one that I use to write exams with and stuff, and not only she didn't manage to get me a new one, she even lost the original one. I have other pens but I liked that one so much, it was thick and it felt comfortable in my hand, and now I either have to use one of the others or go downtown in the morning before my exam and try to find the one I want.
   
   For some reason, this makes me feel very, very lousy. Like, I want to cry because I lost a friggin' pen. It's not even my notebook or something, it's a PEN. And I have other pens. But it makes me feel so miserable. And I just feel lousy because I haven't been productive today, my notes look weird because I switched pens halfway through because SHE LOST MY PEN, and tomorrow I have a Chemistry exam.
   
   :(
   
   Why do I feel like this?? :/
   
2. Math was mediocre. The papers were difficult, and as always I lost the race against the clock. One and a half hours is NOT enough for that insanely huge test. IBO, dienowplzkthxbai.
   
3. I keep postponing the London post. I'll end up making a little entry or something, meh. The details are starting to feel insignificant somehow, even though they probably aren't. I should probably do this when I'm in a good mood. Now is not the time.
   
   
4. I miss everyone. I want to go out on Friday night with everyone, Aggelos will be in town too. Mt, pretty please come? :)
   I NEED TO GO OUT OMG. And I need to talk to some people, I feel so stranded.
   
   
5. Did I mention how I am totally going to fail tomorrow? :(
   And Friday, because it's all memorisation and I suck at memorising boring things. I'll try to cheat somehow (!), I don't know. Chemistry options are evil. Chemistry is evil. The IB is evil. EVILNESS GALORE OMG.
   

FIVE THINGS THAT MAKE ME FEEL A LITTLE HAPPY:

1. I am eternally debted to ib_rangerz for the 4-hour chemistry lesson yesterday. *hugs* Thank you so much!!! :D You're the best! ^_^ Really, it's so cool to have a science whiz for a friend. :) Plus we had so much fun, and I understood Chemistry WTF?!
   
   Funny quote from yesterday.
   Librarian: "So you're getting help from you're friend the mathematician, huh?"
   Me: "He's a physicist actually..."      Alex: "Physicist..."
   We pwn at thinking the same things, lol. :D
   
   
2. I'm probably getting a haircut on Friday... I was thinking of letting my hair grow but I thought about it again and I figured, naaaaah. Short hair is much better for the summer. So yay at last a haircut, it's starting to look really awful~
   
   
3. Eurovision semi-final tomorrow!! (Let's see how well I'll study Chemistry while that thing is on O_o) And then the final on Saturday! The Serbian song pwns. And there's so much rock this year, I'll be a happy fangirl. ^^
   
   
4. I'm probably seeing my friends on Friday! I must arrange it so that it's settled, because I'll probably die if I don't.
   
   
5. Um, 9 days till school's out forever? :D I CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT FRIDAY ZOMGGG.

Oh, and Theo texted today and he said he was accepted to work at a hotel here in Thessaloniki for the summer (he's studying Hotel Management and things like that) so he'll be nearby all summer. That's a good thing, it would be a shame for him to be far away. ^^

That's all. Now excuse me while I go die in a box.

 I miss the internets for two weeks and Dattebayo is closed down by the US Department of Justice? WTF???
Seriously, so many things have happened and I missed them, just like that.
Worry not, I am back. Posting from mi casa, kthxbai!! :D

But seriously, WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED???
And I check on the chuunin community and there isn't a word about this thing on there. What the hell?!?!
Now where are we going to get Shippuden from???
:(


.... or maybe it was an April Fool's joke and they forgot to put it down?? Dunno. (DUHHH STUPID KATH)
OMG.
