I won't say much...

I know I haven't been on here in a while, and it has been even longer since I last wrote a blog. I am not going to say all that much right now, since I suppose I'm still trying to sort out what I have just experienced.

Some people say that it is silly and stupid to compare your life to an anime, or a T.V., movie, books, excetera excetera. Well, in some cases, that may very well be, but in other cases, not so much. There is a manga called NANA. It is about two women, the same age and with the same name (that being Nana) who by chance, meet. The tale is about their lives, past present and future. There is a 'gothic' Nana and a 'girly' Nana whom 'goth' Nana nicknamed 'Hachi' which would be a puppys name in Japan. Nana gives Hachi her name because she's all cute and cuddly, but she is also a handful.

I realized that my life, and my best friend/practically twin sister's life are a lot like their lives. I come from a family that is not that well off, but I lived in a good environment as did Hachi, however, there is where the similarities between me and Hachi end, me and Nana have a bit more in common, as our love in music and the fact that she is a very closed person. Meru has lived Nana's past in some ways, Nana's mother left when she was four, she never knew her dad, and her grandmother died when she turned fifteen. Now, I'm not saying her that is her past exactly, but the hurt that she must have felt was what Nana must have also felt.

I'm still reeling from the experience, and if anyone ever becomes interested in the manga, look at your library in the teen section. It's called Nana, and there is even a live action anime series that is starting to come out. It was beautifully done, in subtitles, but beautifully done. I suggest it to anyone who wants to watch a comedy/heart wretching film.

Sorry for disappearing, I've been busy as of late. Mostly with work, but with other things as well. I'm doing fine, how have you been as of late? I've been up and down in my moods, I think boredom has a rather negative effect on me. :(I am who I am and who I am is someone unique.

I have been ok totally stressed, working, paying for school, getting my nose pierced lol. Next weekend I have to go to Ohio to visit my grandfather. I haven't been on the site that much because of being busy. I am also getting ready to move with my boyfriend so that stress as well. Trying to draw, trying to write that book, etc etc lol. So i guess I have disappeared alittle as well.

My moods have been up and down as well. Of course your unique that is why your my friend. :)

I see, so you have been busy. xD Well as I had probably said, six days a week working is killing me off slowly. xD Nah, I actually kind of like it, it keeps me off my butt (in a sense) and out of the house. After work Monday I'm actually going to go to my friends house after her mom takes us to the library so we can drop off our seventeen plus mangas and get more. : ) After that, on Tuesday, we're going to the mall and I'm going to get my ears pierced again. ^^ Funny, we'll both be getting piercings in the near future! (Ok, had a brain fart, couldn't remember how future was spelled. xD) Where in Ohio will you be? Oh! I also got all my financial crap done for AI and I'm fully accepted! Now all I have to do is find out about my housing situation and schedule my classes, go to orientation and put in a few job applications!

I am who I am and who I am is someone unique.

The weekend before Ohio I decided it was time to get my nose pierced so I did. It didn't hurt. Are you getting a second hole in the lobe or cartilige? I have 11 piercings now. Belly button, nose and the rest ears. lol. I just need one more then I will be done for sure. I need to get my cartilige number 3 hole on my right ear to match the 3 on my left ear.

Glad you got all of your financial stuff finished as well. That is great. I just need to get my books and then we have to drive to florida to see my sick grandma. We were in Boardman Ohio it is about 30 minutes from PA.

I got mine pierced close to where the cartllige is, but still in the skin mainly. It's been about a week now, and they aren't as sore. Someone told me that if they were still red and sore that they were infected, but it's because my ears are sensitive, especially my left. -.-

I am glad as well, all I have to do is schedule my classes, go to orientation, do a little job hunting and finally find out which dorm and roommate I have and I'm all set. Until then... I gotta help clean up the apartment... (ugh!) Then again, my room needs a good once or thrice over. -.-;;;

That's cool, it takes about two point two five hours to get to AI from where I live.

I am who I am and who I am is someone unique.
