Am still in denial that I've turned twenty-one. Not to make any one here feel older but this is old enough, okay? stop aging self.

There was some wine-tasting. It was as horrible as I thought it might be. And a Pushing Daisies marathon that left me wanting more. :/ Damn it, show. You ended with even more questions than you started with. (I wanted more story lines about Ned's father; he clearly knows about his son but where has he been these past twenty years of his son's life?!)

And writing. Wrote some more on that Young Justice story.

and I screen-capped the story lines I wrote out on Twitter so I can have them for later (read from bottom up):

Read more... )

On the academic front, I only have to show up for one final on Tuesday for the poetry class. Of course that means I have one English essay and one Philosophy essay to hand in before semester's end next Friday and of course I haven't started either essay. Thankfully no Biology lab and creative writing final.

Ahh... fifteen just flew by so quickly. It honestly feels like I had only turned fifteen yesterday. And it turns out I had turned sixteen yesterday. 0_o

And I had really liked fifteen. Fifteen was a good age. I wouldn't have minded staying fifteen for awhile more. Man, where does the time fly?? And I swear birthdays are becoming duller each year. Once you start getting older, they're just not fun anymore or really something to look forward to. (At least to me, I'm one of those people who doesn't want to grow up too fast and who broods on her birthday because it means another year has passed by and she's getting older. I like being young.)

Boy, I sound so depressing! It's not like I despise birthdays, I do get giddy when they come around because it means presents! But, then I start thinking and then I bring myself down.

But anyways, there's this really, really awesome book I saw two weeks ago, I believe, at a bookstore and I want to buy it.

The Kouga Ninja Scrolls by Futaro Yamada. It's based on the manga Basilisk by Masaki Segawa.

book cover


A description from Longfellow Books:

AN EPIC NOVEL THAT TAKES YOU DEEPER INTO THE WORLD AND HISTORY OF BASILISK!
To resolve a clash over succession, the shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa has devised the ultimate contest. Two rival ninja clans, the Kouga and the Iga, will meet in a battle to the death. The victor will rule Japan for the next thousand years. But in the midst of this bloody war, an unlikely romance blooms between Gennosuke of the Kouga clan and Oboro of the Iga clan. Gennosuke and Oboro are the next leaders of their clans and their fates are inextricably bound with that of their families. In the colossal fight, the star-crossed lovers are faced with a fatal choice between true love and destiny. Can romance conquer a four-hundred-year-old rivalry? Or is their love fated to end in death?

Doesn't it sound like the GREATEST book in the entire world? I'm getting very giddy over here. <<

I LIVE for forbidden romance. But now I have to think of a way to let my parents let me buy it... preferably with some birthday money. My parents are freakishly stringy whenever it comes to book-buying. I have no idea why. They always tell me to go to the library and check out the book so I don't waste my money. I'm just appalled that they would even dare to think that the purchase of a book is wasteful... How dare they!

Wow, I feel better all ready. Books do cure everything.

You Have a Melancholic Temperament

Introspective and reflective, you think about everything and anything.
You are a soft-hearted daydreamer. You long for your ideal life.
You love silence and solitude. Everyday life is usually too chaotic for you.

Given enough time alone, it's easy for you to find inner peace.
You tend to be spiritual, having found your own meaning of life.
Wise and patient, you can help people through difficult times.

At your worst, you brood and sulk. Your negative thoughts can trap you.
You are reserved and withdrawn. This makes it hard to connect to others.
You tend to over think small things, making decisions difficult.
What Temperment Are You?

Birthday was awesome. I went shopping at the mall with my family and then we went out to dinner. It was nice and relaxing.
