-falls over dead- That was a LOT of work. I just finished translating all of the urgent needed Busou Renkin chapters, and it was so much worse than usual translating. Because it was all missing character summaries or forewords, or, worse of all, Author's Notes on every single damned chapter...

Normally in 13 pages if you put all the text together you form maybe... two, three paragraphs? Sometimes less, on battle scenes, sometimes more. But this time I got sent 13 pages of FULL TEXT. 3-4 paragraphs on each PAGE.

So I'm sure you understand why I fell over dead. But I am rather proud of myself. After all, let's see. My last post was at 1:30 or so. Roughly 5 hours have passed. And I actually got most of my tasks done. I showered, practiced cello (for an hour, too, surprisingly enough _ _;; ), and messed around with the piano like I wanted to. Nightswimming was really repetitive. They could have saved about 2 (or 3) pages if they bothered to use the repeat sign. But it's... pretty nice. I still think the sheet music of American Pie is best, though, even though it's hard.

Anyways, after that my parents came home with shaved ice! And it had good toppings, too. Yummmmm... Ai-yu and Xian-tsao and all of that good stuff... and pearls like the ones in pearl milk tea~ and naturally they had condensed milk. =) Delicious! And THEN guess what happened. My mom dragged me away... to do deskwork for her. I had to input all of the stuff on her checkbooks into the computer. Like, who the check was to, how much it was, what category (tax? fuel? payroll?).... that took a really long time.

Then I came back. And translated till I dropped. And I actually managed to finish BR. @_@ Which makes me really happy because that means I'm still able to translate at super-speed... Chinese skills haven't deteriorated too much. Didn't look at FMA yet, but I didn't expect to finish until tomorrow. So this is good. I also cleaned my room up somewhat and played with the dog.

@_@ Did I count wrong somewhere? How did I fit that into 5 hours? I just translated for definitely over an hour, and the deskwork with mom's checkbooks was over an hour for sure, too. Cello was almost an hour... so that's about four hours... so I ate, cleaned, played (with the dog), played (piano), printed out sheet music, and showered... all in the space of one hour? No, just piano and eating should add up to that... aaaaaaah I'm confusing myself. Whatever. I somehow managed to do everything, and it can sit at that. =D

PHWAHAHA I HAVE MAD CHINESE SKILLZ

-gloat gloat gloat- Okay time for dinner.

Edit: This somehow turned into a big ramble regarding skirts and CTY. o.o I have no idea how this happened.

Crap. I felt fine during the day, but now I'm sore as hell. >_> And I have a pimple growing in an uncomfortable place. And it's not even remotely close to my face. Let's just say it hurts like hell every time I sit down. So it's not helping. How the heck am I going to get through my lessons tomorrow? Ah, well, *prays* hopefully the pimple will be gone tomorrow? Then again, I'm atheist, so what the heck am I praying to anyways? >>

Mewwww~ Sore~ sore sore sore. I've definitely not exercised enough lately. And then, suddenly, today I take Rice out for a two mile walk, and I went to Valley Fair.... *dies of disbelief* ....and bought skirts.... ....even Tiffany bought 2 skirts... x.x

I never wear skirts. I don't remember ever wearing a skirt other than the required Harker uniform. I've worn dresses when the occasion called for it, but never skirts. ...mew? Well, I doubt I'll wear them often anyways. But they are a lot cooler than pants. As in temperature. Apparently everyone has their own "style" that looks good on them...

smushedness = Fwoofier moderately short skirts
fwoofie = Short-short skirts
Me = Knee-length skirts cut for skinny people'
Tiffany = ....none.

I don't know what Tiffany would count as. She got one of the slightly fwoofy skirts that Elizabeth got, and she also got the black skirt that I got. But despite the fact that she could fit extra-small, she bought a medium. I don't get that. I just don't. But maybe it's just me.

Well, I guess it was all in good fun. Everything's for CTY, naturally (I also bought a bathrobe), and to my surprise Adam did not critique it. I was full well expecting him to lecture... well, you can't say he didn't critique it. But he critiqued it in a good way. Not what I expected. --'' Ah, when I got home I also found out that the brown skirt (which has two layers) had this written on its tag. "Shell: 100% silk. Dry-clean only."

If you didn't get that, allow me to explain. THE OUTSIDE of the skirt (two layers) is 100% silk. The inside is some unknown material that they don't mention. >> So I don't even get to feel the silk. And... dry-clean only?! AAAAAHHHHH~~~ *falls into a blackhole* -sigh- I swear, I'll look at the tags next time before I buy them.

Meh... I probably should go to bed. I probably won't have much time to spare on the computer the next few days... we leave on Sunday. I should pack. I finally dragged out a big suitcase, but so far I've only packed underwear, some socks, and... nothing else. Adam took the good frisbee. It was apparently a gift his friend brought back all the way from UCLA and will not be used for play. --'' Whereabouts of THE frisbee is still unclear. Ffffft... to you three... if you find any frisbees at home (no matter how crappy it is), you might want to bring it. Then again, Adam might possibly take me to get some good frisbees, but I'm not sure I'll have the time.

Tomorrow is Friday. Two more instrument classes to go through. If I survive through these, I'm FREE. FREEEEE~~ No more instruments. But the last class ends at 6 pm. That doesn't give me much time. I also have to finish translating Fairy Cube for Earthy. It's Kaori Yuki's latest, apparently. Completely morbid. But the others inform me that Kaori Yuki is always morbid. I wonder if I've read anything else by her. The name sounds familiar. Kaori Yuki... Hm. *does a google search* ........................*falls over* ANGEL SANCTUARY. DUUUUUHHHHHHH~~~

I feel so stupid now.

I liked Angel Sanctuary. Maybe I should ask Earthy to let me keep working on Fairy Cube. >> But I'm busy enough as it is. After Friday is Saturday. On Saturday... Harry Potter book 6 arrives. I'm the first to read it because (obviously) I'm leaving. I had to have a stupid Chinese class on Saturday, which will distract from that... but in any case, Saturday will be very occupied. So most things must be finished Friday. And some time during all that, I have to pack. Or finish packing, at least. --'' Ugh.

But the thought of C.T.Y. really cheers me up. OH I also have to go to the library and return the severely overdue books before they are more overdue. How the heck is this going to fit in my schedule... Well, it'll work out somehow. At least I hope it well.

Time to sleep. Must wake up early tomorrow to start all my tasks.
