Oricon Weekly Single Rankings

I saved this nice community on LJ where you can find J-Pop downloads and, on one of the Arashi tags, they list the top thirty songs of the week (Oricon Weekly Single Rankings). Currently, KAT-TUN is number ten with their single White Xmas. Arashi has number 12 with Beautiful Days. I looked a little farther down and I found Rikkai Young at number 18 with Gouka Kenran (If anyone doesn't remember, Rikkai Young is the Rikkaidai group with Niou, Kirihara, Yagyuu, and Marui). I've never looked at the Oricon rankings so I was suprised to find a Tenipuri song on the list. Just goes to show how much people love Tenipuri in Japan.

No Bending Over for Me!

Spending three hours at the dermotologist (skin doctor) is not my idea of a fun filled day before Christmas Eve! Well, this is how it went.

Several months ago, I went for a regular old doctors appointment. They checked me over and said they were worried about the mole on my back since it was darker than the other ones. So, recently, my mom made an appointment for me and my brother to see the dermotologist (me for my moles and my brother for his acne). At first, it wasn't all that bad. My mom got called in for her acne (43 and she still has acne trouble) and me and my brother were arguing over who would be called in second. End up we were called at the same time. Go figure. But, I was placed in a room first.

So, my dermotologist walked in and checked my moles and told me what I already new. The one on my back is the one to watch but they could take it off. I conversed with my mom and we decided we wanted to take it off. Silly me, I thought they would take it off later. NOT! They did it right then and there. So, no bending over for me until the stupid "wound" on my back heels and it's right before Christmas! God, I'm going to have fun opening presents Thursday morning (not!).

Well, on the bright side, at least I removed that thing from my back so I know I won't get skin cancer from that one. I guess my mom's right. There's a bright side to anything.

Doujin

Well, this may be late too but todokanai is back up on livejournal. For anyone that doesn't know, todokanai has a large collection of doujin (mostly untranslated) but its still fun to look at the pictures. If anyone is interested in it, try checking it out.

in Love

Now I feel better.
I. Can't. Believe. It.

Well, now I can since its been a couple days. If anyone cares to remember, I talked about a certain kouhai I have a crush on a few times in this blog. I think he may like me back. Though I'm not too sure. So, I was thinking about telling him in a note since I don't have the courage to tell him to his face. It's not my best idea but I'm a coward when it comes to love.especially since I've never had a boyfriend before. I think its because I'm the type that's too loud and I'm not all that girly and I speak the truth instead of lies. It's just the way I am.

But, is the note really a good idea? I'm having second doubts about it, but it's the only way I can express my feelings. Ugh, what should I do?

Gouka Kenran

NEW SONG FROM THE PRINCE OF TENNIS! This time, its Niou, Kirihara, Yagyuu, and Bunta singing a song called Gouka Kenran (click the song title to download). I, personally, love this song.

Along with this song, I also have news about other singles coming out. On January 28th, the other half of Rikkaidai (Sanada, Renji, Yukimura, and Jackal) will have a song out. 0n February 14th, the 2009 Valentine Kiss will be sung by Shiraishi. Then, so far my favorite, Niou will be going solo on February 25th! He's had songs with Renji and Yagyuu but this will be the first time we get to hear him all by himself. Our darling trickster is all grown up XD

Maybe......I can get my cousin to buy me a couple J-Pop CDs for my birthday.......Too bad that's in April -_-'

Bomb Threats and Love

My school had a bomb threat today. Interesting, no? We were pulled out of second period (roughly 9:10-9:20 AM). The 10th-12th graders were placed in the gym and the freshies were place in the Auxilary gym. The whole reason behind this was because someone wrote something about a bomb and today's date on a stall in the boy's bathroom. Thus, our second period time was wasted, but I don't have a problem with this. We were taking a test in second period on Night. If you haven't read this book, I would suggest you do. It's amazing, and the style is good. After the bomb threat, we had several discussions about it in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.

But, today wasn't all bad despite the threat. My good friend said she would talk to the guy I like and find out if he likes me back. I actually like this a guy a lot. In fact I've liked him since the All County Chorus concert which was back on October 21st so that's fifty-seven days including today. Roughly eight weeks and a day so, two months? I'm sure this is the longest time I've liked someone. He's a really sweet guy,one year younger than me, and the only time I see him is after second period and during lunch. I feel guilty now because I thought he was weird, at first, when we were at out first chorus rehersal. He was holding tightly to his jacket and wouldn't place it on the risers. Now that I think about it, he was standing next to me at the concert.

Even if I've known him for such a long time, I've only had one conversation with him and that happened today and it was about The Dark Knight. But I do know he's a sweet guy, and he can't teach math to other people. He also trusts me more than his friends (They pushed his bookbag off of his lunch seat. They told him it fell and I told him the truth.), but I don't think he'll ask me out. I'm not really "pretty" and I doubt he'll say he likes me.

There's also another problem. His sister, whom I have come to know through chorus, hates me. I fear that she'll say rude things about me to him, but, as my friend says, I wouldn't be dating her, I'd be dating him.......Hopefully I can date him.

Plans

First off, I'd like to seriously thank Kura for betaing the first four chapters of History and sending them to Sheena(?) too. I've probably thanked you a thousand times already, but I'll still say/type it again.

Now, my New York trip for next semester has been changed. We will no longer be traveling to sing with the college kids. Instead, we'll be going with another high school to stay there during our four day weekend at the end of the third quarter. Instead of singing at Carnige Hall we'll be singing at a cathedral.

One other thing I'd like to say is that I'm going to be applying for an opportunity to be foreign exchange student in Germany for a year on a fully paid scholarship. I've already picked out two teachers I'd like to write me a letter of recommendation for the trip (my civics teacher and my English 1 teacher). The application is lengthy but I'm willing to fill it out. My dad even agrees I should try for it and my mom is being 'selfish' and doesn't want me to but also wants me to try. I think it'd be a great opportunity, but I'm starting to have doubts about applying. I'll be away from my friends and family for year. I don't know if I'll be able to stand that or not. I think I'd be fine as long as there's internet access and I can bring my laptop along too XDDD
