feeling: I wanna sleep
listening to: Sailor Moon - Watashi-Tachi ni Naritakute
One of my brother and sis-in-law's three betta fish finally died Friday night. And another looks like it could go at any time. They've had those things for a good 2 years, and it didn't seem to me like they've ever taken particularly good care of them... feeding schedule is all wonky, their water's taken up mostly by plant roots and very rarely gets cleaned/changed. I'm surprised they've lived THIS long, personally. We got to talking about bettas for a while, theirs and mine and the bettas in general, and they were quite surprised when I told them about all the cool stuff my Mitsu does... jumping to grab food off my finger, chasing his tail, the like. They didn't seem to realize a dinky little fish could be such great entertainment if cared for the right way. I can't blame them, really; I thought a fish was nothing but a little floaty pretty thing that needed fed every day, until I got Mitsu. He's my buddy. ^^
And now for another survey thing, because I don't want to do homework -_-...
1. WHAT'S THE STORY BEHIND YOUR LJ USERNAME?
Well, I use Blogger, not LJ... so I'll use my Blogger username. Makes sense. The address (baranoblog.blogspot.com) I've explained before - Bara no Blog means Rose Blog, inspired by Utena - and my username is UtenaNoBara. I actually login using my email address though, but that's another story. Sooo... well, since you know what Bara no Blog is, you should be able to figure out Utena no Bara. Roughly, it's Utena's Rose, or Rose of Utena. Why? Because Utena is bloody cool, roses are a major theme of the show, and... um... it sounds cool? And don't get any ideas about me referring to myself as a rose that belongs to or represents a female character. Just don't. You'd be wrong :Þ
2. HAVE YOU EVER HAD A MAKEOVER?
Nope.
3. NAME ALL MEMBERS OF THE BEATLES
ok, umm... John Lennon, Ringo Starr, George Harrison, Paul McCartney. wait, am I missing one...? >_<
4. WHAT'S THE LONGEST TIME YOU'VE STAYED OUT OF THE COUNTRY/WHERE?
Never left the US. grrrr.
5. ONE THING YOU'RE GRATEFUL FOR, TODAY.
Today as opposed to every other day of my life? My parents. Their patience, in particular. I know it takes a lot of it to put up with me as they do. My dad, especially... that man's patience seems to know no bounds. It amazes me every single day.
6. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE HIGH SCHOOL MEMORY?
I have no pleasant memories of high school. I despised high school. Have mercy - keep it away from me.
7. DESCRIBE YOUR DREAM WEDDING.
Exactly that. A dream. In other words, I don't plan to marry.
8. MY FIRST HEARTBREAK HAPPENED WHEN I WAS...
Geez, um... I guess one could say I was... 17? Though it really just kind of gradually crumbled away over the course of a year or two, not just shattered all at once.
9. WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO THIS SUMMER?
As little as possible. Hopefully find a short-duration, relatively easy job to pay for OhayoCon in January. Otherwise... sleep, eat, enjoy our newly installed central air conditioning, watch anime, maybe buy more anime, and hang out with Dumpling.
10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SONG RIGHT NOW?
Chicken Bone from Cowboy Bebop~ woohoohoooo
11. WRITE A LINE FROM ANY SONG.
How about multiple songs? :P
"Unchosen angels have no need for wings" ~Utena ending theme, Truth
"The song remains like the haunting melody of angel music held in chains" ~Xenogears, Stars of Tears
"Somebody, with dry eyes, please cry for me" ~Cowboy Bebop, The Real Folk Blues
"But I can't heal this broken heart in pain; cannot start to live, cannot end my life, keep on crying"~X Japan, Art of Life
"Today I dream of friends I had before, and I wonder why the ones who care don't call anymore... my feelings hurt, but [snipsnip] I'm stronger now - there can't be a fire unless there's a flame" ~Seal, Don't Cry - my #2 anthem
"On an evening such as this, it's hard to tell if I exist... if I pack my car and leave this town, who'll notice that I'm not around? I could hide out under there... I just made you say underwear... I could leave, but I'll just stay - all my stuff's here anyway" ~Barenaked Ladies, Pinch Me - my anthem (this line actually describes a night in my life, down to every detail except the underwear part :P)
"I'm really moved by the chicken bone" ~Cowboy Bebop - Chicken Bone
"Friends are friends forever" ~Michael W. Smith, Friends (I just had to include this one so I could point out what a blatant lie it is)
12. DESCRIBE YOUR DREAM HOUSE.
Gotta have a good-sized bathroom. I'm sick of little dinky cramped ones with about as much floorspace as there is inside a standard bathtub. And, uh... big living room, big bedroom, one room just to fill with my computer and stuff that defines me, such as anime posters and plushies and junk. LOTS of windows, big ones, including at least one of those huge bay windows I can sit in to draw and read and admire the scenery and such. Yeah, gotta be scenery outside too - a creek maybe, lots of trees - just not a cityscape. No linoleum, only carpet, hardwood, throws, and tatami. All the inside doors (not the outside ones, for security reasons) should be those Japanese-style wood-and-rice-paper sliding doors with fancy kanji and sakura and other pretty stuff painted all over them, and I want at least one room to be Japanese-themed, complete with a little kneely-table, tatami, futon, and one of those raised floor areas with mats to sit on and socialize and cook snacks and such. A biiiig, fenced backyard, with a full-sized underground pool and plenty of space for at least 2 dogs and 2 cats to run around... a peach tree and an apple tree, far enough away from each other that the lurvely smells don't muddle together... a raised porch... and a little koi pond off in the side yard somewhere. Also a few more acres off to one side for horses - 2 at first, but they'll breed and I can sell some of the babes for caaaaash. $_$
13. YOUR TYPICAL SLEEPWEAR:
Billowy, light plaid pants and an oversized, worn out T-shirt. If it's cold... heavy plaid pants or sweats, and a comfy old sweatshirt.
14. WHAT'S IN YOUR WALLET?
Geez. *digs it out* Ok, we got... my MOE card (dude, I forgot I was in MOE o_O), expired library card, 4 old concert tickets, AAA card, blood donor card, health insurance card, Ohio driver's license, a little card with my personal information, empty photo sleeves that I need to fill up with nephy pics ^^, and cash... in change pocket #1, more change than I feel like counting... and in change pocket #2, foreign coins and other cool change I don't plan to spend.
15. HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR WALLET RIGHT NOW?
Well, as I said, the change pocket is waaay too crammed to count right now... and in cash, $278. o_O How the heck did I get that much...? OhayoCon Fund! XD
16. TELL US ABOUT ANY OF YOUR BIRTHDAYS.
My eleventh birthday was destroyed by a bike accident which happened the day before my birthday while I was riding down to the corner store to buy some cake mix. The irony. -_-; Got 18 stitches, 3 of which were in my tongue. I had scheduled a nifty skating party for the next day, but as I couldn't speak or eat solid foods and could barely walk and my face was a mess, that was cancelled.
17. WHAT ARE THE FIRST FIVE THINGS YOU WOULD SPLURGE ON IF YOU WERE A BILLIONAIRE?
Trip to Japan for me, Dumpling, Silfy, and anyone else I know who wants to tag along. Two breeding horses, all expenses included. A large, large pool. ALL of my college expenses fully paid off by the time I graduate. And the rest I'd split between loads of anime on DVD and the bank, to build up some interest. ^^v
18. WHAT IS YOUR DAILY BEFORE-GOING-TO-BED RITUAL?
Leave computer, change into above-mentioned sleepyclothes and tiger slippers, collect toothbrush and toothpaste, proceed to corridor restroom, pee, wash hands, brush teeth, return to bedroom, replace toothbrush and toothpaste, sometimes pack my bookbag for next day's classes, take out contacts, turn off light and lock door (if roommate hasn't already), climb ladder to loft bed, readjust ladder position so I don't kick it in my sleep causing it to fall and take out everything in its path, set alarm for 8:25, lay on back, roll onto side, roll onto other side, repeat 12+ times, drift off.
19. WHAT IS THE WEIRDEST/FUNNIEST NICKNAME ANYONE HAS EVER CALLED YOU?
My grandpa called me Beeky. o_O;
20. NAME THREE [3] OF YOUR FAVORITE CARTOON CHARACTERS.
Well, at least you ask for three and not one. Erm... Anthy, Utena, and Snoopy. That's running the gamet, ne? :P
