Hey, ShikamaruRocks, here. How ya doin'?

I have another world. One called "Shika's Busy-ish Nook" that contains less random stuff than you'll find here. For the most part. I'll leave all the official stuff that's on here though, but all new official stuff will be there.

I AM A GIRL. So many people think I'm a dude, but I'm not. I promise.

Soooo, let's get on with it, shall we?

Most of these are in no particular order...

Favorite Manga: Fruits Basket, Saiyuki, Saiyuki Reload, RurouniKenshin, DNAngel, Prince of Tennis, Trigun, One Piece, KareKano, Lovely Complex, Whistle!, PeaceMaker Kurogane, Fullmetal Alchemist, HanaKimi, Ouran High School Host Club, etc.

Favorite Anime: Hunter x Hunter, Fullmetal Alchemist, Peacemaker Kurogane, DNAngel, Fruits Basket, TekkonKinkreet, Saiyuki, Mushi-shi, BECK, Avatar (it counts!!! grrrr....), Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, RurouniKenshin, etc.

Music Peeps: YellowCard, Death Cab for Cutie, Snowpatrol, A Fire Inside, The Used, Three Days Grace, Seether, Orange Range, My Chemical Romance, Hoobastank, Muse, The Pillows, Plain White T's, Angels and Airwaves, Flaming Lips, Bump of Chicken, and!!! The Jonas Brothers (my guilty pleasure).

I love cooking, drawing, reading (mostly manga but novels are wicked awesome too. I just don't have the time nor stamina for novels as much anymore...though I have been working my way back in. lol), knitting, watching my brother play Zelda/Metroid games (lol), and skateboarding, though I fail epicly at it.

Toodles!!

Why we've been gone and things like Colorado

Man. I haven't posted in like....a month. Holy cow!!!

Anywho, Twisted and I actually have some fairly good-ish excuses for not posting in for freakin' ever.

First excuse: TwistedCyberChick and I (being sisters) are now roommates, as in, we are sharing one room, as in, we now have practically no personal space.

There are multiple problems associated with this. I am tired by around 10:00 every night. Twisted can NOT fall asleep until after midnight at the earliest, no matter how hard she tries. She wants to use the computer at that time. When she types I want to kill her.

Second excuse: We had to get ready for my graduation picnic. This took a surprisingly long amount of time and I was practically crying by the time it actually started. haha.

Third excuse: We have been working a lot to save up money to go to Japan this October (wewt).

Fourth excuse: Our family is about to leave on vacation this Wednesday. We are going to Colorado. Rock on. We go to Colorado every summer, only I didn't get to go last summer because I was in Japan. My family went without me. Sadness.

So, that's about it for the excuses.

Except there is one more, of sorts.

This whole list of excuses is, in fact, an excuse. We won't be on theO for probably at least two weeks due to being at a little cabin up in the mountains near Estes Park.

Anywho, sorry we've been (and will be) gone for a while.

Love ya.

Toodles.

The Joys of Spring Allergies

Due to lovely allergies, I have been coughing like crazy.

Last Thursday night I coughed for just about 3 hours straight, extremely violently. I was laying on the floor lurching about in quite a bit of discomfort.

The next morning I woke up and my ribs on the left side of my chest we excruciatingly painful. Especially when I'd cough, sneeze or breathe.

This pain continued on through my Commencement Ceremony on Sunday, and the day I drew pictures at Borders, all the way up until yesterday when I went to the chiropractor before watching the Live-Action Death Note movie in theaters last night (it was fabulous, by the way. Three of my friends were cosplaying as L, Light, and Misa. They did pretty good^^). At the chiropractor I went through a great deal of pain and had to suffer the embarrassment of the chiropractor taping a section of my ribs to put some of the pressure off my muscles or some such thing. I have to keep the tape on for three days.

When I asked him what I had done to myself, he didn't tell me, he just said it was almost 100% sure that it was caused by my coughing fit on Thursday. I told my mom this and she called him for me to find out. She told me what was wrong in the theater last night.

Apparently I have managed to stretch and dislocate the cartilage between a few of my ribs.

I didn't even know that was possible. Eeeeeew.

Anyhoo, ouch, is pretty much all I have to say.

Perhaps I will be better by my graduation party on the 31st?

Today's a Good Day

It's 70 degrees here, which is pretty nice. There's also a lovely little breeze so I just want to go outside for a walk or for my first skateboarding adventure of the year. lol.

Instead, I'm sitting at Twisted's computer with the window open smelling our neighboor smoking outside. Ugh.

Anyway, today's good.

Yesterday I went to Border's and read some manga and drew a couple pictures, one of which was The Doctor that I drew for timechaser and posted last night^^

I found this song today and it made me happy so I thought I'd share it with yall. It's pretty short, so please give it a listen. I'll post the lyrics bellow.

It's "Hello, I Love You" by Ima Robot. Great band name xD

Lyrics

(deep breath)

I LOVE THE...

"N, nah you can't say that."
"Okay, alright. Ahah! Mmno, okay... I'm just gonna talk to- I'm gonna say how I feel."
(mumbling)
"Whassat?"
"Come on, tell'er man."
"You got a quarter? Gimme a quarter."
"Just a second, man."

(BRRRING!)
"hullow?"

(ahem...)

Hello I have something to say.
Remember me? We met the other day.
Anyway, I think that you're really great.

(chuckles)
"Shit..."
"Come on. You gotta do better than that! Better than that!"

You are better than butter on bread.
If you were a sweater I'd wear you on my head. Why is butter so good on bread? It's you. Hahah, I'm sorry.

Just tried to let you know that I love you so.
And now I'll let you go.
Ohh oh
Just called to say hello, and that I love you so.
And now I'll let you go.
Ohh oh
Just wanted to let you know that I love you so.
And now I'll let you go.
Ohh oh
Just called to say hello, you know I love you so.
And now I'll let you go.
Yeah.

"Alright, alright. And now tell her what you'd give up for her, you know?"
"All the bread in China xD"
"Yeah :D"
(giggles)
"Noo..all the rice in China..."

So I guess you're probably busy and things. Doin' your hair, or whatever you're doing that's so cool. You're the best, just wanted to say you knock me out.
So get back to whatever it is your doin' that's so cool. I'll get back to kicking rocks down by the highschool.
Anyway...uhh. My numbers 22762.
Call me back if you want to.

Just tried to let you know that I love you so.
And now I'll let you go.
Ohh oh
Just called to say hello, and that I love you so.
And now I'll let you go.
Ohh oh
Just wanted to let you know that I love you so.
And now I'll let you go.
Ohh oh
Just called to say hello, you know I love you so.
And now I'll let you go.
Yeah.

So, I hope you enjoyed that. I giggled like a little maniac when I listened to it. Guess I'm tired.

Me squealing like a little girl

Balloon prank part 2

Before you watch this, read the previous post entitled "When You Have Too Many Balloons" please. Thank you^^

Now you get to see...me squealing like a little girl.
I'm scared of popping balloons. O.O

Aren't security guards wonderful?

And yes, at the end I said... "power". *squeaky voice* ^^

When You Have Too Many Balloons

Today was my last day of my senior year of High School. Yes, I am now done. But, my family didn't think it was enough for me to simply know I was done with school, they thought we'd celebrate. With a crap ton of ballons. In my car.

Today the seniors went on the annual senior picnic my school has. We got back from the park and off of the busses at 1:30. I walked to my car with two of my friends, Sierra and Jasmyne, who are also seniors, because I was going to drive them home. That's when we saw this.

Bellow is a video I took of my car. Sierra has a better one. I'll post it here later once she puts it on YouTube.

This video is "post initial freak out" so I'm pretty calm while taking it. The video Sierra took is pretty much from when I first saw my car. It's absurd. Also, I call my brother a fairy in it. hehe.

There were seriously so many balloons in my car that my family had to take two trips in our mini-van to fill my car, even though my car is TINY. Also, my loving family was actually in the van about 100 feet away watching this whole thing. I was so distracted by my car I didn't even see them. xD

Anyway, today was fun and I'm totally stoked that it's over. My ceremony is on this Sunday, which I'm also stoked about.

And yes. I said "propping".
