Tues-

My hair was really frizzy because I put it into a bun they night before when it was damp. My hair was in a high frizzy ponytail. It looked like Cherry's hair. I took some beef jerky I brought from home and it was stinking up my backpack. It smells like jerky now. I also took my clipboard because there is so little desk space. But I have to conceal it since I put a Sailor Moon sticker on it so I would know it's mine. I don't want anybody to see that sticker and find out I like Sailor Moon. I actually made it to class on time today because I didn't have to go and buy jerky at the store. When I get to class I see that otaku guy, but I don't recognize him. He cut his hair, but he denies it. Later in class he admits he did cut his hair, but it was so obvious it was a absurd. He was saying that if somebody keeps telling you something is wrong you'll believe it obviously he hasn't dealed with my dad. He also said he cut his hair for $1000, hell for $1000 I'd shave my head Britney Spears style. We are learning how to write Hiragana, and it's hard. I can't write the symbol for "a" very well. I ended up writing it backwards. But I did the most important thing when I learned to write it. I used a pencil. We also learned words in Hiragana, but I can't read them, yet. I hate those stupid little desks in the class I almost knocked mine over while I was sitting in it. I also noticed that the little tabletop part flips up. I think it's built like that and it's not broken.

The bad news was when I got home I got a jury summons and I would have to be a juror, a rural juror. I don't think there are many rural areas in my county if any, so I will be the suburban juror. My mom told me I could go during spring break and serve, the only problem is I have no spring break. At first I didn't even realize this. My dad kept bugging me about taking a vacation during my spring break, but I didn't exactly know when mine was. So I can only serve after I'm done with my semester.

Wed-
It was a hot day and I was thinking about cutting my hair. After last year I decided to cut my hair really short, what I consider really short and then grow it long in the winter. The bad this is that when I cut it short I like to wear odangos, but not like the ones Serena/Usagi wears with them more like the way Dorie/Doremi or Corina/Mint would wear them. But I can still wear pigtails those don't look too otaku-ish. I was also thinking about cutting my sideburns. They are always getting in the way, but I thought if I did cut them they'll grow back longer and thicker and I'll look like Sailor Jupiter or Icy.

I was also thinking about since I don't get a spring break I was wondering if I should really sign up for 4 classes and be a full time student. I'm so close to being done with general education I can taste it. And if I be a full time student for the next 2 semesters, (fall 07 and spring 08) and pass my classes I'll be done. So I decided how this semester goes with me only taking 2 classes first and then decide.

My life management class is uncomfortable they want us to talk about really personal things, so I decided if it's too personal to go in the blog it's too personal to be talked about in class. She thought a lot of people didn't read the book because we weren't discussing it. I did read the book, but it was so boring I forgot what I had read.

Thurs-

The teacher was late and I was bored waiting around. The bad thing was that otaku girl sat behind me. It's not really that bad, aside for her talking and I caught her taking a peek in my open backpack (not opening it). I shouldn't be worried there isn't really anything interesting in there anyway, nothing too otaku-ish.

We were learning some English loan words. Those are pretty easy. I'm still having trouble reading and writing Hiragana. Those 2 otakus got into a discussion about anime again when we learned the word "inu" which means dog and this girl brought the subject of Inuyasha. Which lead into a full blown anime discussion. Then some other people were naming other animes and the otaku girl was snobbing the most of the animes named. She said Digimon is crap. Now I wouldn't say it's crap, but it isn't that good. But I don't snub animes. Hey if you like Digimon, great. Cause I know there haters out there for every anime ever made. Dragonball haters, Pokemon haters, Inuyasha haters, Voltron haters, Sailor Moon haters, One Piece haters, Naruto haters, and so on. So this one girl says that Sailor Moon is the girls' version of Dragonball. So the otaku girl who was sitting behind me was saying that Sailor Moon is more "dark and twisted" than Dragonball. I really don't know I'm not a Dragonball fan. I've seen a few Z episodes, but that's about it. Those 2 girls were really getting into that discussion and talking over the teacher. They were really getting into the Sailor Moon discussion talking about the "cousins" and what they really are, the difference between Chibi Chibi and Rini/Chibiusa and other elements from the series. She was saying about how the manga is better than the anime, and I agree. She says she likes the Stars season/saga. I'm familiar with Stars. I mean I know the plot, but I've never seen it or read the manga. When it was break time so they left the room to carry on the discussion. Since I wasn't in on the discussion I didn't leave the room, plus I was still working on my Hiragana and I needed help from the teacher. When they came back the girl said she is not an otaku because they are way more into anime and manga than her, and if she not then I must be otaku extra lite. Then they said not to say anything bad in front of a Sailor Moon fan girl which they totally were, but didn't know, and I didn't want them to. Plus they were acting like all the fan girls would get pissed if they talked ill of Sailor Moon. Just for the record we are all not like that. After class I asked the teacher what "Dotch" meant and I was saying I wanted to know because my mom watches The Dotch Cooking Show (subtitled), the teacher said she knows that show with the red kitchen and the yellow kitchen.

Fri-

I bought a box of Almond Crush Pocky to try. At first I was reluctant to buy it since it costs more than regular Pocky (the chocolate one in the red box). When I tried it, I thought it tastes better than regular Pocky and is worth more.
