That makes it 3 times. Nice! This whole blog-tag is really getting around. What does that say? ... The world really is small, even on the internet (^_^)
Alright. I'm going to start 8 more facts.
1. The computer room I'm in right now is open 24/7 it seems. But I'm the only one here... ? Oh well, it's not exam season yet.
2. My guy friends like my scarf. I wonder why the girls don't mention it much? Not that I want it to be mentioned, it's just odd to have something only guys have mentioned about... ?
3. I haven't cut my hair in 6 months, which is a great achievement. I don't think this has happened since... I turned 15? 14?
4. Gunman Fired Slugs As Well As Pellets is what is on the Japanese news in english web today. It kinda made me wonder how slugs could fit into the mouth of a gun, and then get shot without exploding into smithereens at impact with the gun powder. Then I realised, slugs. It's another kind of bullet for the shotgun. Click here for the actual news.
5. Toys are cool.
6. I don't even have eggs in my refrigerator. I need to go grocery shopping today.
7. My holiday starts from the 27th and ends on the 6th.
8. Nintendo DS has games(?) that allow you to take kanji tests, or at least, practise reading and (more importantly!) writing kanji.
Signing out now.

I've been tagged
Twice.
I don't usually do this, but since this seems to be going around so much lately, I might as well do something. I'm not going to follow any of the rules though... ... (at least, too many of the people I know have already been tagged so I don't really have any one else to... therefore...
I'll simply write down 8 facts to entertain you guys (^_^)
1. I don't have OCD but every chance I get nowadays I like to wash my hands and scrub them thoroughly until the smell of soap sticks.
2. I've grown a wisdom tooth and I'm seriously thinking of removing it because I think it's useless and all it does is jut into my cheek and make it sore.
3. Thinking of more than one fact to say is difficult and time-consuming.
4. I lost my voice on January the 26th 2 years in a row. Am waiting to see what happens this coming January.
5. My nose blocks, for some weird reason I suppose, every time it hits winter here in Japan. And it doesn't cure till Spring comes.
6. Aurelie is my daily planner. I can never remember the appointments/promises I make, but somehow, she does. And she's not here! And she won't come back till January - (T_T) looks like I'll have to manage somehow on my own.
7. I drink one (small size) box of vegetable juice everyday.
8. In Japan, 180 000 people own guns.
Whoa. I think I jumped somewhere else for that last fact. Well. This huge thing has been on the news lately. The facts are all jumbled up in what I'm about to say, but it's as close as I know to what really happened. Somebody brought a shotgun (at least I think it was a shotgun), brought it to a fitness club, shot it twice by the pool (where it was filled with children!), left the room, and shot 2 other people. I have no idea what's happened to the children but the 2 other people, the instructors, died.
Here I was, thinking that the general public of Japan can't own guns but they can! Of course, they have to get special licences and whatever, and they're only allowed guns for hunting (not even for self-defense).
Put power in the hands of innocent babies. There's sure to be misconduct. It's human nature.
It's not "Say NO to drugs" anymore. I'm all for "Say NO to guns". The best(?) and the worst thing ever to be invented.

Hello December!
I've been in a rut lately. I guess it's the weather.
I actually threw out the insides of my wardrobe yesterday to rearrange everything... I mean everything. I sorted out my summer and winter clothes drawer. All the clothes I don't need anymore to UniQlo bags so I'll remember to donate them in March! (Isn't UniQlo great! They take care all the merchandise you bought that you don't need anymore to give to those who really need them. - I just wish they had more places like this for clothes not bought from UniQlo...). I even arranged all my socks! My wardrobe's cleancleanclean! I have space! I have floor room! My rooms 80% in shape! I'll do the last 20% during WInter Break hahahaha.
I'm also now into this band. Well, I have always been into this band but I've rediscovered them! Abingdon Boys School! Their album rocks! I haven't felt this way since Hoobastank. They had an album out in October and I'm listening to Lost Reason now, they even have a version featuring Micro from Home Made Kazoku, (of course, he raps) so it sounds so close to Linkin Park. Some parts even remind me out Yellowcard. Basically it's the same atmosphere and it's great! This song, Doresu, was also reeeeaallly nice. - They had a new single out this month. Blade Sword (which is apparently the theme song of Basara 2) and Desert Rose. And I looooove Desert Rose!
I'm really busy this month actually. I'm putting more hours for work. I'm not really straining myself or anything but lately it's been hard to stay within Uni grounds. Some smart-ass's idea was to put my entire faculty under construction (now of all times!) and We have no proper Library. We have no, and I mean no, Cafeteria. Not even self-study rooms. Basically there's no warm place to have lunch. No place quiet enough to study. Some of the books in the library are inaccessible. What IS going on?!? How am I going to survive to the next exam period with no Library?!?!?!?!?!? Sure I could go to the Library up in the Business, Economics, Law Faculty but the students there need their books too. (Not that the collection of books are the same, they're faaar from that.) From what I've seen, even the Engineering Faculty is having a face-lift. What ARE we going to doooooo??? As far as retreats go, this computer room is the only one left for me.
-In anycase since a lot of the professors here have gotten all irritable too because of all this construction going on and all the moving they have to do (their offices are changing location), they're slowing down the pace of the classes and/or cancelling them at the drop of a hat. Hence, I don't have much to do at Uni nowadays. Might as well take this opportunity to work... ... ... ...
Most of the foreign students are going back to their respective homes between this week and next week. Including my roomie. So, between here and next week all I have left are the Japanese students. Even then nearly half of them will be gone by the 22nd. Which leaves me... ... Library and Cafeteria-less till January the 7th. This year is officially braking down and stopping soon. It's in the air - no doubt about that.
Which leaves me... depressed again.
But hey, on the bright side. This is an opportunity for me to get some quality R&R. All this construction business has be deconstructing me.
