Oh my~
At this rate I'm going to have three birthdays . . =O

Steve gave me so many presents~!
2 Pokemon books, the movie Up, a diary and . .



Nightlight!!
It's a Twilight parody XD
It's really funny! I laughed out loud a lot . . =P
It's a must-read if you wanna make fun of Twilight . .
Especially if you've read the first book
I think even Twilight fans would enjoy it too =P

I watched Up for the third time and I almost cried again ;__;
That movie will make me cry every time!

So I came home from Steve's, completely tired outta my mind!!
And Nhi, Kayla, and of course Melissa were there . .
And they were all screaming "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!"

. . . But it's not my birthday yet, you guys =P
Still I was really touched <3
Everyone was so excited because Melissa had hid Carisa's present for me somewhere in the room . .
I looked for sooo long and I almost gave up but it was under my pillow =P
And . .



Aaaaaah!!! >__<
They're so cute ;__;
But I almost couldn't find any space to put them in =P
I hope I don't have to use my radio in a while . .



For the rest of the night Kayla taught Nhi Mandarin? (I think . . one speaks Mandarin and one speaks Cantonese . . so even though they both speak "Chinese", they can't understand each other =P . . well, most of the time . . sometimes they trade secrets in Chinese >_<)




That is Melissa's butt in the background =P

So this is what I wore today . .



I was worried that the leggings didn't match . . >_<
But Steve really liked the outfit <3

I'm tired . . I think this is the latest I have stayed up on a school night =__=
Good night . .

It's a little late but . .




Tada~!!
Just a small portion of my plush collection XP




The top portion of my desk~
You can see Pokemon and Mini Moni plushes =P




My desk.
You can see more random plushes lying about =P




My bed! More plushes. =P
There's a giant Hello Kitty but you can't see it too well.




More of my bed.
Yes, that is a giant Pikachu <3




Melissa's desk.




Melissa's bed and Melissa herself XP

Sorry for the blurriness! >__<
I need a new camera~
All of the pictures are blurry~

Guess what! I am hungry AGAIN!! O__O
It's always when I post a LiveJournal post!!
Why . . ;__;

~*Good Morning!*~



I'm still really sleepy~~

Morning Musume is asked a random question every week- I had a sudden spur of the moment urge to answer them myself! Take THAT, Writer's Blocks questions! Maybe this way I can find out which member I am most like <3

If you were a pet (a cat or a dog), which friend would you like to be your master? Please add the reason, too!!
Hmmm, well Sara would favor the computer, Jaymes plays too rough, and I'm too scared to even think what Melissa would do . . I don't know if boyfriends count . . I know Carisa would love me a lot and treat me really nicely so she's the best bet! (although thinking of having a Scorpio as an owner is scary . .)

If you compared yourself to a lunchbox item, what would it be?
Whatever the dessert is, because I'm sweet! <3 And it's just delicious . . but if it can't be a snack . . I'd have to choose some sort of meat.

Imagine you return home and you're hungry. But there's nothing to eat, and no one to cook you anything. What would you do?
This happens to me all the time! =P I'm a college student! Well if you mean back to my home home, then I would just have to endure it . . but depending on the time, if I return to my college dorm, I can just go downstairs and get something from the vending machine or the restaurant!

If you had to spend one day at either the aquarium or the zoo, which one would it be?
The zoo! Although I've been wanting to go to the aquarium just to see what it's like, but I'll always love the zoo the most because I love animals!

What's your favourite bread?
Garlic bread! I'm such an Italian at heart . .

Are you the type of person who asks for help, or the type that others come to for help?
Both! Although I can be pretty prideful when it comes to languages, so a lot of times I only ask a teacher for help with that. It depends on the environment, how much I know about it, and whether or not I respect the person enough to ask! For example, in the classroom, I'm being asked a lot, but when talking about a video game I don't know well, I'm the one asking all the questions!

Out of all your friends, who's the fastest eater?
It used to be Melissa, but now I eat faster than her! Sometimes I feel ashamed of that . . But when I'm around Sara or Steve, I feel like the slow one! When I'm really hungry though, and I don't hold back, I eat even faster than them!

Who's the fastest at texting on their mobile phone?
Definitely not me!! I hate texting! Probably Sara . .

If you were to become a teacher, what would you like to teach?
Foreign languages, duh! After all, that is what I'm aiming to be!

Is there any cosplay you'd like to try?
Bleh, cosplay . . If I had to do it, I wouldn't cosplay a specific character, maybe just a maid, nurse . . or just a cute outfit in general . . I like dressing up, I just don't have the clothes to dress in!

When you hear "autumn", what kind of foods do you start to crave?
Turkey!! And generally Thanksgiving foods.

How many times can you do a double under while jumping rope?
None!!

Is there anything that makes you think, "I wish I'd learned or done that when I was young"? If so,
what?
I wish I would have started learning languages when I was young . . cuz now I'd REALLY know it! There were other things too . . but I just can't remember!

Do you decorate your cellphone, or keep it simple?
Keep it simple . . my phone doesn't look very good decorated . . I just hang really cute cell phone straps on it and that's it!

If you had to choose between speed-eating and all-you-can-eat contests, which one would it be?When it comes to sweets, I can do both!

Do you sweat a lot?
Yeah! It's healthy to get all of that water out of your body! Just a bit of exercise and I'm sweating.

What's the first thing you do after you work out?
Drink water, and then take a shower. Otherwise I feel really gross >_<

What are you eating (or drinking) during a work out break?
Water of course! Duh!

What topping do you put on noodles?
I never use toppings unless it's for pizza! =P

What would you do if you became a giant? Or if you became tiny?
I wouldn't like being either! Only if I were some sort of animal . . =P

Out of all your friends, who is the most forgetful?
Melissa . . >_> It's annoying to explain stuff to her.

What's your favourite candy or snack?
REESES~~! Although I love a lot of sweets <3
Do you use your cell phone for mail? Or for phone calls?
Both, depending on who and what situation. I wouldn't call someone just to ask one question.

When you can't sleep at night, what do you do to fall asleep?
Think of my boyfriend, and it makes me feel really comfortable, and I fall asleep right away

What kind of meat do you like?
Lots! Meat is a rare food I'm not picky about . . I like cow, pig, chicken, deer, ostrich, buffalo . .

I'll post more later~
Aika - 3
Reina - 3
Eri - 4
Ai - 2
Koharu - 3
Junjun - 5
Risa - 2
Linlin - 2
Sayumi - 2

So far I'm most like Junjun . . that's a surprise o__o I thought I would be more like Ai . . Junjun is still one of my favorites so woo!

To celebrate, I went on Deviantart and looked at all of the fantastic Sagittarius artwork!! It was AMAZING!!

And just because it actually looks a bit like me . .



By megoomba

I really love all of them *__* So pretty. It's also pretty neat that most of them look similar . . =P

First name:
Angelena. Some call me Angie or Sae. People online call me Mako(to)

Age:
18, soon to be 19!!

Location:
St. Louis, Missouri, USA. Currently living in a college dorm

Occupation:
None at the moment, thank god. I don't want one >_< I just want to go to college for the rest of my life! XD

Partner:
My boyfriend's name is Steve. He is the best boyfriend ever~~ <3 He's like a male version of me

Kids:
NONE. EVER.

Brothers/sisters:
I have an older sister who's living on her own at the moment.

Pets:
Back home, I have one dog named Lily, and two cats named Kenny and Kiki. I looooove my Lily <3 I am going to be heartbroken when she's gone from this world . . I can't even think about it. I also love my Kenny and Kiki as well <3

List the 3-5 biggest things going on in your life:
1. My birthday and the holidays! I'm looking forward to it!
2. Trying to handle finances for college and such
3. Getting ready for finals!

Parents:
My mom and dad are one of the few parents that have actually stayed together through all of these years. No stepsisters/brothers, no stepparents, just plain, traditional family. They seem to argue all of the time, but I think they still love each other very much. I'm literally almost a clone of my mother, including anxiety and insecurity issues. My dad loves to talk and talk and talk and can sometimes be annoying to talk to and have a short temper, but they're both very good parents, even through the hard times.

Some of your closest friends:
Melissa: also goes by Rei, but more often nowadays she goes by Mari. We met back in 7th grade and have been best friends for 7 years and is currently my college roommate. She is loud and obnoxious, but we are also alike in many ways. We have many of the same interests and the same sense of humor and we get along like two peas in a pod. Sometimes I want to strangle her really badly when she is too obnoxious and annoying, and she loves to fill her own ego.

Sara and Jaymes: I group them together because . . well they are never apart. Looking at this, you'd think they are a couple, but you would be wrong . . More like inseperable siamese twins. They are the "tough" group, they love to be a little mean (not the type that goes around egging houses and doing drugs, of course), have a rough albeit funny sense of humor, and have no tolerance for stupidity. That being said, they hate Melissa. Once upon a time, Melissa, Sara, Jaymes and I used to be a little group, until Melissa beat Jaymes over the head with a textbook because he stole her Hello Kitty pencil case and then that lovely friendship was lost. Now I have to switch back and forth between hanging out with Melissa and hanging out with Sara and Jaymes, which is quite troublesome sometimes. It's quite childish, but such is life. Flaws of theirs are stubborness, harshness, and righteousness. Sara and Jaymes are opposite sometimes, as in Sara is evil and Jaymes is good . . well, Sara is still a good person, she just chooses evil choices! She is also greedy, but Jaymes is very giving. Jaymes is very playful and he doesn't know his own strength . . poor Sara is often at the recieving end of his play.

Who sleeps in bed next to you?
Wolfy =D

What’s one of the strangest things that has ever happened to you?
Dreaming about a place in Fatal Frame 4 before I even played the game or knew anything about that place

What type of reading material do you prefer (books, magazines, newspapers, comics, etc)?
I love manga because it cheers me up! But I also like to read interesting articles and blogs, and books (but I am picky)

If you could see one band in concert right now, any band, dead or alive, which would it be?
MORNING MUSUME!! EVEN THOUGH I ALREADY SAW THEM IN CONCERT.

What's really creepy?
Stuff that happens during the devil's hour . . I wish it would happen more

What item(s) should you be completely embarrassed to own (but you're actually not)?
I SHOULD be embarrassed about owning so many stuffed animals at my age . . but I love them <3

What's your current fandom/obsession/addiction?
Hello!Project, footy pajamas, horoscopes, Pokemon, Dragon Age. Some are temporary, some are always.

Where would you like to go right now if you had enough money?
Anywhere and everywhere!! I have a travel bug that never goes away!

What are you most excited for?
Thanksgiving and my birthday party!! >_<

What websites do you always visit when you go online?
Facebook, Youtube, Webster Email, Hello!Online

What was the last thing you bought?
A movie ticket for The Fourth Kind

What's your favorite season?
I would say winter, but I really only like one month out of it (December). Otherwise I like spring.

Does the weather affect your mood?
I was just thinking about this today- how people are so weak to just let something as uncontrollable and unimportant as the weather affect their mood. It's just freaking weather!!! If you wanna be happy, be happy!! It doesn't matter if water is falling down from the sky! Just use it as an excuse to carry an awesome umbrella and dance in the rain!

What is your zodiac sign?
Sagittarius . . if that isn't obvious from my previous answers =P (if your horoscope-savvy, that is)

Do you want to learn another language?
Already have. Japanese, German, and currently learning Spanish. In the future I want to learn Korean and maybe Russian!

5 things (not people) you can't live without?
Food, water, oxygen, organs, love

Do you have any siblings?
One older sister

What's something you'd like to say to someone right now?
I'm hungry!

What's your earliest memory?
Crawling on the floor before I learned how to walk. My mother was holding her arms out to me and asking me to sit on her lap, and so I did.

Say something to the person who tagged you?
I could never in a million years pull out any hair on my body x__x I can't even pull out a leg hair without whining

I JUST SMELLED SPOILED MILK FOR THE FIRST TIME. GAH!! I CAN'T GET THAT SMELL OUTTA MY BRAIN! It had only expired one day . . ;__;

GUH!!! Why why why must you do everything I do?! I shouldn't have opened my big mouth . .

Your result for The Would You Survive a Horror Movie? Quiz...

The First Casualty

20 Stupidity, 10 Survival, 2 Smarts and 17 Death!

Take The Would You Survive a Horror Movie? Quiz at HelloQuizzy

Hehe =P I never knew how stupid I'd be in a horror movie! At least I answered honestly, even though I knew it wasn't going to be good . . =P

Plaid! Plaid skirts, plaid purses, plaid hats, plaid accessories . . Plaid's awesome =D But I think I look better with a hat than I do without one so on a day when I don't feel confident or I feel nervous, I wear a hat! I also feel better in long sleeves than in short ones (cuz I hate my arms)

Because all bodies are AMAZING!! Yes, even yours! The body pumps blood, breathes, digests, moves, contracts, and so much more simultaneously without you even thinking about it at all. It has so many defenses, functions, and purposes, all of them existing so you can live happily and survive. Your body is working away expertly while you go on doing your own petty things. And yet humans abuse it by smoking, drinking, doing drugs, etc =P Ah well.

. . . . Oh you mean, appearance-wise? Like many others I have my good and bad days when it comes to my body =P Or sometimes even good and bad moments. Sometimes I feel like I need to lose weight, and sometimes I feel perfect. My teeth are perfect and have never given me any problems (even my wisdom teeth came in perfectly), my hair is still soft and its natural color (cuz I never did anything with it) I have awesome boobs and curves. I like my face. I guess the main thing I would fix about my body is my arms. They suck SO much. They're short and stubby. D=

I would want to take all of the songs off of all of my CDs and my MP3 player, somehow cram it all onto one IPod, and play it on shuffle the whole way there. It would be exciting to see what random songs pop up!

Hello Kitty restuarant!!! =D Wait *looks online* It's already been done in Taipei D= www.photojazz.ws/2009/02/hello-kitty-sweets-restaurant-taipei-in-taipei

Well in this case, I'll make mine a Sanrio restaurant! Including not just Hello Kitty, but Cinnamaroll, Chococat, Kuromi, Keropi, My Melody, etc etc. The restaurant will have a section for each character, each with their own color decorations. And the menu will have all of the foods they're related with: strawberries, cherries, cinnamon rolls, coffee, watermelons, bananas (for that monkey =P) etc. Delicious delicious sweets <3

And for god sakes, make the waiters be male. I mean, which gender is this restaurant aimed at? Girls. What do squealing young girls like? Boys. Not girls in maid outfits dressed in cat ears (well, some may like that =P) Then again probably no males will wanna work at a place like this . . =P

I'm so . . . . . . . . .

itchy.

ITCHY HIVES ARE ITCHY!!!!!!!

(That's just . . . scary. No other quiz has been so accurate!)

I'd pay off all of my school loans (I think that counts as giving it away. XD I'm giving it to the loan sharks!). Then I would make sure all of my loved ones lived comfortably (which may take more money than I have).

I wouldn't give it to any charities because I won't be satisfied that it's really being used in the way I want it to, or even used at all. I wouldn't want to waste all of the money when I don't even really know how it's being used.

Gaaaah! It's so cute!! <3 <3

I "adopted" Caramel at the Squiby website (www.squiby.net) They're meant to be put in places and people click on them to "level them up" but I sincerely doubt or care that Caramel will get many levels. I'm such a sucker for cute things . . and she looks tasty too!




Click Me!

My parents are driving me up the wall. It's almost like they know I'm going to move out in two weeks and they're trying to get out all of their annoyingness on me before I leave and they'll have no one to annoy but each other. And then what will happen? Possibly explosions.

My mom trying to play the wise counseling mother role and pretending she knows everything about what I'm thinking is not helping. "It's not over because you don't want it to be" Mmhmm, because you know exactly what I want. It's not over because I'm still ANGRY about it. And if I'm still angry about something after a whole day has passed, I know myself well enough to know that it's worth my time to solve it before it happens AGAIN and I get angry AGAIN. But no, I get some crappy saying "You can get glad in the same shoes you get mad". WTF. I understand what she's trying to say but I don't believe in making a happy situation out of something that makes me angry. If it makes me angry, there's a reason, and I'm obviously not going to get happy about something that makes me angry. These goddamn self-help books she reads just teach you how to brainwash yourself, not solve the problem. She also thinks that I will get an ulcer in my stomach from stress. The only thing I have on my stomach is a pimple and  I don't even know why.

My dad trying to play counselor when he knows absolutely NOTHING about the situation at all is DEFINITELY not helping.
