I know, I know... unnecessary. But I feel... I feel like I have to...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;That was fast!&lt;br /&gt;Well, like I said I was gonna make a tumblr and twitter about 3 hours ago... and then I did :D&lt;br /&gt;Pretty much&amp;nbsp;immediately after my previous post was published.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I followed my friend creepily... I don't think she's awake right now, so she hasn't noticed yet, I think... So I don't know if she knows it's me yet.&lt;br /&gt;Eventually, if I don't hear from her, I'm going to have to text her or something so that she knows it was me being creepy, and not a&amp;nbsp;REAL creep.&lt;br /&gt;Although, do I now count as a real creep for doing that? I'm not normally creepy though... And when I'm creepy, it's usually in a fun or cute way...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know, I'm just making excuses now.&lt;br /&gt;I don't really care though. She still loves me.&lt;br /&gt;(Right?!?!?!)&lt;br /&gt;If anyone's interested for whatever reason...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://naviagepoyo.tumblr.com/"&gt;tumblr&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://twitter.com/naviagepoyo"&gt;twitter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um, yeah. So I learned the meaning of アゲポヨ (agepoyo) earlier today (but it really wasn't relevant to blog about at the time), and I learned the word for "butterfly" in Korean (nabi)&amp;nbsp;over the weekend whilst studying... And all the usernames I wanted to use were taken... So both of my usernames ended up being "naviagepoyo."&lt;br /&gt;(like how Miyavi changed his&amp;nbsp;name from Miya&lt;strong&gt;b&lt;/strong&gt;i to Miya&lt;strong&gt;v&lt;/strong&gt;i, I made&amp;nbsp;na&lt;strong&gt;b&lt;/strong&gt;i→Na&lt;strong&gt;v&lt;/strong&gt;i)&lt;br /&gt;Which is funny, because butterflies don't make me that excited lol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I think Navi is a cute nickname so I want that to be like my alias... or stage name, when I get famous... whatever you wanna call it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right now, I'm repeating every single word that I type out loud, but didn't realize until a second ago and so it made me laugh.&lt;br /&gt;I still am reading everything I type out loud.&lt;br /&gt;OMG I'm crazy (and I keep talking)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't mention that my semester is officially OVER today↑↑&lt;br /&gt;I can SLEEP!!&lt;br /&gt;I can blog!! ? I don't know! Maybe! ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But most importantly, I can relax.

If I was wearing falsies and circle lens, maybe I could look like that... it IS my face afterall. And that's all I changed to it... &lt;br /&gt;Oh, and I made it black and white and made it brighter, I think. &lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_U-J3hZWMJc0/TQg3HbbUnAI/AAAAAAAAAGg/PZtiqHEsZ44/s1600/kaos-brownusagi08+-+shrug.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" n4="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_U-J3hZWMJc0/TQg3HbbUnAI/AAAAAAAAAGg/PZtiqHEsZ44/s1600/kaos-brownusagi08+-+shrug.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had to smooth it over too, so it didn't look so fake that it was hilarious. You can totally tell it's fake if you're&amp;nbsp;looking at both pictures, but if you weren't, could you tell? I don't know, tell me how I did :) I think I did ok...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Actually...&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_U-J3hZWMJc0/TQg3S4MX0uI/AAAAAAAAAGk/j7LdAbfikDg/s1600/kaos-pinkusagi06+-+thinking.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" n4="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_U-J3hZWMJc0/TQg3S4MX0uI/AAAAAAAAAGk/j7LdAbfikDg/s1600/kaos-pinkusagi06+-+thinking.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking at the two of them next to each other... you can see similarities, but I look different. Like "different person-different." Because the quality of the pictures look different too.&lt;br /&gt;Ah, well. At least I don't lie to myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But yes, the point of me editing that picture was for me to have visual motivation. For me to be like "hey, I CAN be cute, huh!" I do really like the way that turned out. Now irl, if it will turn out the same, I have no clue.&lt;br /&gt;If you're wondering how I did that, it's with a Chinese program. It's an editing thing, but it has a bunch of presets that you can choose from to beautify yourself. That's what it's for. Making yourself look way better than you really do, hehe. Well, not always "way" better. But it's your extra oomph.&lt;br /&gt;Here's the site if anyone is interested/speaks Chinese well enough to figure out how to use it:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://meitu.com/"&gt;美图秀秀(meitu xiuxiu)&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(click on the pink one that says "xiuxiu.meitu.com" -that's the one I use anyway. The kankan program download in the middle is just a program for viewing your pictures, I'm pretty sure. Like windows photo viewer. kankan installs itself when you install xiuxiu though. I don't know what paipai is). It's really fun and easy to use. It might be hard if you can't understand &lt;em&gt;any&lt;/em&gt; Chinese though.&amp;nbsp;My Chinese is pretty bad but I figured it out (through trial and error, mostly).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HOWEVER... the one thing you need to be wary of when you download xiuxiu is&amp;nbsp;that it&amp;nbsp;comes with a bunch of Chinese internet add-ons (and maybe some other stuff but I don't remember because I have since removed them from my computer). After I downloaded it, my homepage changed to a Chinese site and I was like "wtf?"&amp;nbsp;because I couldn't figure out why it changed. And I was mad that it automatically changed my photo-viewing program to Kan Kan. But that's ok. It's just hard because it's all in Chinese, but I figured out how to put it back to Windows Photo Viewer. Kan Kan is fun though&amp;nbsp;because you can change the background and it views .gifs correctly (they move! in photo viewer, they don't move)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Anywho, love and jealousy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;What my whole life revolves around, but the first of the two is such a great thing that I will spare you all and focus on that one.&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_U-J3hZWMJc0/TOxewXNwMjI/AAAAAAAAACU/WsiOPgK-KoE/s1600/kaos-whiteusagi14+-+blow+kiss.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" closure_uid_5fvk3w="106" n4="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_U-J3hZWMJc0/TOxewXNwMjI/AAAAAAAAACU/WsiOPgK-KoE/s1600/kaos-whiteusagi14+-+blow+kiss.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;I'm not gonna go into any private details, obviously,&amp;nbsp;because that's not my style (actually it is, but I don't wanna seem like a weirdo spilling ALL my secrets...)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;But lately, I've noticed changes in myself. Both for better and ...not better. But, mostly, better.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Love is a funny thing ♥&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Love makes you do stuff you don't normally do, doesn't it? When I liked this kid (who was TOTALLY NOT WORTH IT, btw), we had connected initially because we knew the same people and&amp;nbsp;we lived in the same area and therefore had to take the school bus together. Plus,&amp;nbsp;he was just&amp;nbsp; a friendly guy. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;It helped that we both played guitar too (he was way better than me though...)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;But I had never taken the school bus before and because of the school I went to and the area I lived in, it was kind of a pain. I hated it. But that kid had moved during the year to my neighborhood, and thus~ my feelings about the bus changed. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;I would ride it happily everyday, just to see if he'd come on. There was a long period of time when he didn't, but I still kept hoping. The days he did come on, he'd sit next to me if the seat was open, and we'd talk the whole ride home (about 15 mins, ha).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;But like I said, he wasn't worth it. Things happened, things changed. Whatever, really. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;It's been a while since I was in "love." Actually, I don't think either my current situation or past situation can count as love, really, but I don't know what else to call it. It's not just a crush, because I've had numerous crushes since that other guy, but I never attempted to pursue any of them. It's not that I'm in love with anyone, what I think it is... is that I'm addicted to this feeling&amp;nbsp;(I'm gonna get all philosophical and sentimental on you guys).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;"Addicted." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;"In love." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Same thing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;That's probably what screws most girls over when they like a guy and then they feel like they're in love (when they're not really and therefore end up hurt). While in some cases they might really be in love, more times than not they're just in love with the feeling.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Been there, done that.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;This time I hope I can distinguish the feelings. Even though I can reason it out&amp;nbsp;and talk about it logically&amp;nbsp;now, I can't do it when I'm around the guy I like. I'm sure it's not just me though.&amp;nbsp;The pains of being a girl~!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;And the pains of being a guy, I suppose, but you usually hear girls talk about being in love way more than guys.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;That's ok.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;But so I've been noticing... the pros and cons of being in "love"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Pros!&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;more motivation to look pretty&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;I want&amp;nbsp;to do so much because I want to impress him (like cooking! ...I can't cook) I think what I'm going for here is that I just have a lot of motivation to do &lt;em&gt;anything&lt;/em&gt; if it means getting closer to him.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;happier (when I can talk to him)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Really, I'm just more excited and more willing to go to school&amp;nbsp;because I have the hopes of seeing him later. So, it gets me to do stuff I wouldn't usually want to do. Woo!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;But there are cons...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Cons...&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;sometimes I can be a little *tewww* hyper (I don't know if you can imagine me hyper, mostly because I think the majority of people who come across my blogs are complete strangers -which I'm cool with- but I don't really blog about my life or show pictures either... I'm not sure I want to because I don't think I'd want all my drama out there on the internet for people to talk about -if they wanted to... where was I? Oh, right! When I'm hyper, I'm really annoying. I acknowledge this, but I can't help it. When I'm nervous, I just get annoying in general though. Tough luck for anyone around me.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;I get really moody and depressed when I don't see him&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;my schoolwork is lacking a little... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;That's never good, that schoolwork part. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;But overall, being in love is fun! If you're not in love now,&amp;nbsp;you should try it! :D &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Don't go and do anything stupid though. Be with a guy (or girl) who is worth your time and that treats you well. If they don't like you the way you like them, that's ok too. You can like whoever you want. Don't EVER be in a relationship just because you think you have to though. And don't go getting preggers unless you're ready for those responsibilities.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;So that's my speech.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;I'm thinking of making a tumblr and twitter&amp;nbsp;cuz it seems fun &lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_U-J3hZWMJc0/TQgy2Nggl6I/AAAAAAAAAGU/tH-igtw361Y/s1600/kaos-pinkusagi07+-+nod.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" n4="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_U-J3hZWMJc0/TQgy2Nggl6I/AAAAAAAAAGU/tH-igtw361Y/s1600/kaos-pinkusagi07+-+nod.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;My friend has&amp;nbsp;both and I haven't talked to her in a loooooong time.

But the kpop singers singing in Japanese always sounds different than jpop singers' songs... so I don't really care for the jpop versions of the Korean artists' songs. I liked some of BoA's Japanese songs, but I definitely like her Korean songs more... I never listened to a lot of DBSK's songs before but I like Mirotic better than the way they sound in LAST ANGEL with Koda Kumi. And I loved the original version of&amp;nbsp;Gee, but I&amp;nbsp;REALLY did not like SNSD's Japanese version of Gee. It sounded&amp;nbsp;weird to me.&amp;nbsp;The MV was cute though. I felt the same about their Japanese version of Genie too. I like SNSD, but not when they're singing in Japanese... that's not their fault though. But like I said, the MVs are still cute in Japanese. That's just my opinion though. The general Japanese population seems to like it, so that's good.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Hm... I liked KARA's JP version of Mister though. It just sounded right to me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I don't know. I'm happy that Super Junior will get some more recognition in Japan though (they did that tour and fanmeet in Japan but whenever I asked my Japanese friends if they knew Super Junior they were all like "I know BIG BANG and Tohoshinki." ←they forgot BoA... I know they know BoA) ... (my friends never heard of SNSD either... that was only a&amp;nbsp;few weeks&amp;nbsp;after they debuted in Japan though).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;But first, I kind of wanna know why f(x) was chosen to go to Japan over SHINee... Because SHINee's been around longer and I'm assuming has a larger fanbase... Don't get me wrong, I'm a big f(x) fan (and it makes me sad that they haven't done much recently...) but I wonder why they were chosen. Maybe it's because they're a girl group... And they already have SNSD and DBSK over there so they chose another boy and girl group so it would be even. Or maybe they thought they could&amp;nbsp;make f(x) like the way KARA has been so well received.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Then I wanna know if the rumors I heard about all 13 of the Super Junior members&amp;nbsp;debuting in Japan are true... I miss Kibum (thought I'd say Hankyung or Kangin, didn't you?!)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;But then I wanna know if it's really true that they're going to Japan to actually debut, or if they just signed with AVEX ... for... I don't know what. Because SHINee actually did have a deal with AVEX, I think, but they never sang in Japanese. On&amp;nbsp;AVEX's Youtube page, they have SHINee's JULIETTE MV (&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCzDYBGbx-M"&gt;linky, linky&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;right here), so I just kind of thought that they had some sort of deal with AVEX. That's the only SHINee MV AVEX has uploaded though. Maybe it was a one time thing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;...And another thing.&amp;nbsp;Are these Girls' Generation references??&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none;

I'm making a wishlist, even though I have a bunch of homework and other things to take care of. Among the items I'm wishing for are: extensions (preferrably really long... like 23"), hair accessories, false lashes, deco for doing my phone and my nails, cute winter clothes from &lt;a href="http://www.dreamvs.jp/pc/"&gt;Yumetenbou&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;or something like that, and circle lens... I don't know where from though. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;I would like to get them from a place that ships out of America with real customers that have been satisfied... and hopefully that are not very expensive. But I know I can't be picky. But my cousin had tried to order from Pinky Paradise and has always had problems... I have no idea why. I've only heard good things about Pinky Paradise... But my cousin ordered the first time and paid, but they had a problem and didn't pay her back. Then the second time, the same error happened but thankfully she didn't spend any money. She thinks it's because they ship out of Hong Kong and we're half-way around the world.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;But my cousin has problems with shipping (she sent me a birthday present a few weeks ago and I still never got it...

Edit: I had the link to my profile on here, but I decided it probably would be weird if I started getting a whole bunch of requests from strangers :p If you wanna add ne though, you can just message me on here and I will consider you... hehe.&lt;br /&gt;This is the picture I'm using for my profile:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_U-J3hZWMJc0/TO4SqKcIeGI/AAAAAAAAACY/jqVDteT5cAI/s1600/HNI_0020+edited+-+001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" ox="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_U-J3hZWMJc0/TO4SqKcIeGI/AAAAAAAAACY/jqVDteT5cAI/s320/HNI_0020+edited+-+001.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;﻿&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;I'm so cute~ (*cough, cough* &lt;em&gt;and photoshopped&lt;/em&gt;... look at those big black eyes!! See, that's funny cuz my eyes are blue, which just further proves how far from reality this photo is.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;:P&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Anyway...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;mixi makes me look like I have no friends!! lol Next to your name, they put the number of friends you have in parentheses, and since I just joined it looks like this&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;マサ子(1)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;... (;;&amp;gt;.&amp;gt; )&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Well, at least I have one friend who was awake at this hour and could make me look like less of a loser (before it was a zero).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Oh well~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;I dunno if I'll even use mixi a lot. Plus, the only way I was able to join was through using my student email address. I don't know why that's a loophole, but it is. Because unless you have .edu at the end of your email address, you have to input your cellphone number and cell email address but they mixi only recognizes Japanese companies&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;The only problem with&amp;nbsp;using my student email&amp;nbsp;is that I'll be graduating from that college in May which means my email account at the school will be disabled... I don't know what will happen if I change my contact email on mixi (like if I'll suddenly have to verify that I have a Japanese cell phone, which I don't)...and I also don't even&amp;nbsp;know if you can change your contact email.﻿&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;But that's in the future, and I only pay attention to the present~!! (and past, but I should stop doing that)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Also, besides all the school work I'm supposed to do, I have recently taken up a video game by the name of Okami~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_U-J3hZWMJc0/TO4f-0owwEI/AAAAAAAAACg/l6I0M_ZFKCE/s1600/Okami+-+005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" ox="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_U-J3hZWMJc0/TO4f-0owwEI/AAAAAAAAACg/l6I0M_ZFKCE/s320/Okami+-+005.jpg" width="226" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;It's a pretty sweet game, and I don't usually play video games. Well,&amp;nbsp;that's a lie... But I mean I'm not a hardcore gamer, and I certainly don't like the scary zombie killing games and the ones that are supposed to be somewhat realistic... they're always too complicated to play!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Anywho! Okami is about a wolf who is actually the creator of everything reborn, Amaterasu. It's a girl wolf, but I didn't know that until my sister kept yelling at me. I didn't wanna believe that it was a girl&amp;nbsp;because I was pretty sure Amaterasu was a guy in Japanese tradition and Tsukuyomi [the spouse of Amaterasu] was a girl. Because Tsukuyomi went crazy or something according to legend and that's why she only comes out at night (...I skipped some parts&amp;nbsp;in my explanation of why I know Tsukuyomi is a girl, but you get the general idea)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;So! Okami is&amp;nbsp;the wolf reincarnation of the goddess Amaterasu and she has come back because the evil spirit Orochi has been released. Orochi had been sealed&amp;nbsp;away a long time ago when a great warrior [whose name escapes me] and the white wolf Shiranui (lit: unknown or annonymous) teamed up and defeated him and then properly sealed him away with ...some sort of sacred sword.&amp;nbsp;So Amatersu has to go on adventures to save&amp;nbsp;Japan (which is&amp;nbsp;referred to as&amp;nbsp;"Nippon" in the video game) because along with being released, Orochi created curse zones all throughout Japan which cause the areas' people and environment&amp;nbsp;to suffer. And of course there are&amp;nbsp;monsters.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;However, in order to defeat these monsters, you need to use your divine powers, which are in the form of magic ink and a magic brush. Your main tool in the game is called the Celestial Brush, and along the way you learn brush techniques that all have different powers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;For example, the first brush technique you learn is... Well, it's either Bloom or Sun. I think it's Sun. And this brush technique is simply a circle drawn in the direction of the sky... Did I mention the game is for Wii?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;I'm bad at this lol&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;It's also for Playstation... I don't know if it's PS2 or PS3 though.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;But you get to learn brush techniques that get progressively more intense and useful in battle (obviously, Bloom doesn't do much to an enemy, except confuse them when a little flower sprouts on their head) And the enemies get progressively harder too, as well as the puzzles that take place in the game. It's all really fun though, and I enjoy the graphics since it's based on traditional Japanese paintings.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;And the names in the game are fun. And unlike Zelda games [and most others], when there is stuff written on signs, it actually says stuff. So you can read some signs without clicking buttons. Only if you know Japanese though, I guess. Like the sign to point you in the right direction would actually say "Agata Mori" (in Japanese) and then you would go up to it and an option would come up to read it and it the reading would say "Agata Forest this way" ...I thought that was kinda cool. It's the little things that make me happy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Like I was saying about the names though - the names of the&amp;nbsp;gods are all reflective of their power, and I thought that was cool too... Like Sakugami ("God of Bloom")&amp;nbsp;is the one who grants you Bloom technique. Lastly, it's cool to me because a lot of the game is based on ancient Japanese tradional stories and the Shinto religion. So it's like taking a really fun Ancient Japanese Civilization class that doesn't&amp;nbsp;always&amp;nbsp;give you correct information. :D The game received really high ratings too.&amp;nbsp;It got&amp;nbsp;like an 8 out of 8 or something according to my copy of the&amp;nbsp;game (it's got a little sticker on&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;front to tell you&amp;nbsp;how good it is)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;It's funny because I bought this game like 2 or 3&amp;nbsp;years ago&amp;nbsp;but I never played it until this month. The reason being that my sister tested out the game before me and was like "don't play it, it's hard." And I believed her!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Come to find out she had only 1 min and 15 seconds of game time&amp;nbsp;lol Apparently she got stuck on the part where you first learn to use your brush and you have to complete a constellation by drawing in a star. She couldn't draw a star. Most likely because she was actually trying to draw a star but&amp;nbsp;you're just supposed to dot the parchment with your brush. It was&amp;nbsp;just a dot, sister, it was&amp;nbsp;just a dot!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;It's hard now&amp;nbsp;where I'm at though. I'm&amp;nbsp;almost done with the game but I&amp;nbsp;had to take a break since I have schoolwork. I'll be back to playing it again soon though.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;So, I gotta go to bed... I have to wake up in 4 hours... Gotta get as much beauty rest as I can (I normally require 12 hours beauty rest in order to wake up and not be grumpy... so I'm sure tomorrow won't go well) But for those of you&amp;nbsp;celebrating Thansgiving-&amp;nbsp;Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!&amp;nbsp;I for one will be enjoying a big Thanksgiving dinner~ yum♪&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;Let's end this with my favorite Pinoy star Ivan Dorschner~ (aka the only Pinoy star I know)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_U-J3hZWMJc0/TO4kJKXjp9I/AAAAAAAAACk/jMcZnq1gHj0/s1600/Ivan+-+005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="213" ox="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_U-J3hZWMJc0/TO4kJKXjp9I/AAAAAAAAACk/jMcZnq1gHj0/s320/Ivan+-+005.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Don't you dare ask me which one is Ivan, because he is the only one in this picture worth looking at!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;...Just kidding. You can ask if you want&amp;nbsp;;P But really,&amp;nbsp;James is cute, but Ivan's more manly which makes him more worthy in my eyes. You can figure that out, I'm sure. He's the one with the short, black hair... lol&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Maybe I should have chose a better picture...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_U-J3hZWMJc0/TO4lKnW6lDI/AAAAAAAAACo/2h9l-gieadk/s1600/Ivan+-+007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" ox="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_U-J3hZWMJc0/TO4lKnW6lDI/AAAAAAAAACo/2h9l-gieadk/s320/Ivan+-+007.jpg" width="211" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;That's better.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;PS: As you can see, my pictures are now able to be uploaded again.

I can only upload pictures that I already have used uploaded previously (like the picture in my last post) Maybe I did something wrong? Or I need to do something? It worked fine the last post&amp;nbsp;I made...&amp;nbsp;I feel like it probably won't be a problem that lasts long, but I don't really know that for sure I guess... But&amp;nbsp;it's my photo, so I'm not hotlinking or anything like that.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;(&amp;gt;.&amp;gt;)///&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;Whatever... I can get along fine without showing my beautiful face, but it will be much less entertaining... I had some nice photos prepared too! But let me just blog about my day then...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;Let's see...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;I told my friend that I maybe kind of like this one kid, and now I regret it because she apparently can't act like an adult when it comes to the opposite sex. She called our friend that lives with the guy I like and was like "Does XX have a girlfriend or anyone he's into? My friend wants to know" (good thing she has another friend that was totally trying to hook up with him today so he'll probably assume she was talking about her... otherwise he'd totally know it was me!!) But I mean really? She couldn't just let me talk to him? He and I are friends so I think I could manage to ask him that myself, instead of having my friend ask my other friend who lives with him. Just...the whole way that she did that&amp;nbsp;seems so highschool-ish. And even though I'm still a kid, I know how to at least act like an adult. Man... Some people.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;So now my friend is pressuring me to confess to him, like, next time I see him... Yeah, ok...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;Well, I guess I will anyway... Just to see if he likes me too. I thought the boys were the ones who are supposed to confess to the girls though? No? ...Sheesh, girls have to do everything!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;Anyway, that's that... Then at the end of the day, the weirdest thing happened... Well, it wasn't that weird. It was just... Well, ok, I'll just tell the story.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;So I was on my laptop in the kitchen by myself and then my little sister came out and said "Hey, remember when you had those 3 bite marks on your arm and you thought there was something in your bed or something?"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;I was lost, but I am very paranoid so it made sense. "...No, but that sounds like me. Continue."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;"WELL... I found the same 3 marks on my Turtwig plushy... I was lying in bed and ...I don't remember, but I came up with this elaborate explanation for the marks and the reason is-" *power goes out* and she whispered, "...&lt;em&gt;zombies&lt;/em&gt;!"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;How ironic that right before my sister says there must be&amp;nbsp;zombies in our house all of the power in the house goes out. So meanwhile, my sister is excited because she thinks she's right about zombies being in our house ("I told you, I told you!!"), I'm&amp;nbsp;nervous because now I think there are zombies living in our basement, and my dad is in the bathroom screaming "I CAN'T SEE!!!"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;:) He he...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;That last part makes me smile.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;He's so funny. He acted like one of us&amp;nbsp;purposely turned the light off on him.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;But it was zombies.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;Well, Happy Thanksgiving, everyone~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"&gt;Hopefully I'll be able to upload pics to the next blog...

I am a proper young lady now.

So basically I've been self-studying Japanese since I was 14 and I still suck lol And... idk how to explain it. I can understand when someone's talking to me (but not really everything, but enough to reply) and I can get the basic idea of what my Japanese friends are talking about when I'm eavesdropping on their super fast paced conversation that they're having right in front of me (sheesh, I should have them know that I most certainly&amp;nbsp;CAN understand some parts&amp;nbsp;of their conversations!! ￣^￣ The nerve...) but I can't think fast in Japanese. I don't know very many kanji either (I can recognize them but I can't write them). So I think the problem is that I only speak conversational Japanese. I really want to be fluent (only one of&amp;nbsp;the many language goals I have)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;There's this one girl who really made me feel ashamed of my Japanese skills -not intentionally at all of course&amp;nbsp;since I was only watching her on YT but I was just like oh, snap&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_U-J3hZWMJc0/TOoQoaid1JI/AAAAAAAAACM/oP_0l4wx-Rc/s1600/kaos-brownusagi11+-+cross+eyes.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ox="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_U-J3hZWMJc0/TOoQoaid1JI/AAAAAAAAACM/oP_0l4wx-Rc/s1600/kaos-brownusagi11+-+cross+eyes.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I am talking about a one &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/Ryuzaki1311"&gt;Ryuzaki1311&lt;/a&gt;, fyi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;She's pretty amazing for her age and for how long she's studied [BY HERSELF]. Her learning conditions are the same as I had -by yourself with no one around&amp;nbsp;you who&amp;nbsp;is Japanese or could speak it (now that I'm in college that's changed)... So it's the same. Same, except she's younger and studied&amp;nbsp;for less years than me... but she's wayyyy better than I&amp;nbsp;was 3 years into my learning and even better than I am now.&amp;nbsp;I'm so embarrassed~ (did I spell that wrong?) I can barely understand all that talking she does in her vids!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;It's sad... *whimper* &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I need to step up my game! And get serious!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I know the only way I'm going to get better is if I practice. So I'm going to start talking to my Japanese friends in Japanese from now on!! Even if they don't like it. Hmph.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Next, I need to take care of school work and transfer applications and stuff... Kind of a pain, but it definitely has to be done and there's no way I'm going to let my academic career be at stake~!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Lastly, I need to do something about this...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;People are all up in my business sometimes!! &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_U-J3hZWMJc0/TOoTRE6e9nI/AAAAAAAAACQ/KZbs6hCzg1Y/s1600/kaos-pinkusagi11+-+frustrated+thrashing.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ox="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_U-J3hZWMJc0/TOoTRE6e9nI/AAAAAAAAACQ/KZbs6hCzg1Y/s1600/kaos-pinkusagi11+-+frustrated+thrashing.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;(...so I'm going to blog about it so all of the internet will know too lol duhhh, it totally makes sense~)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;So I guess I need to find a boyfriend, since my family and friends are very concerned with my being single (it has also been suggested that I look for my husband now that I'm in college, to avoid the people who "aren't smart"). So yeah. Finding a boyfriend shouldn't be hard with that winning personality I mentioned earlier (oh, boy). I've never really been that concerned with relationships though.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;But whatever.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I have super high and unrealistic expectations though.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Guess that needs to change too.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;So... the end.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Hopefully I'll be able to stick with these goals and blog about my progress...
