  • Say hello to Seishirou Sakurazuka from Tokyo Babylon and X. Kindly veterinarian in appearance, he is actually none other than the evil Sakurazukamori assasin.

    And he's also mean to Subaru., but I think I established that already... ~_^

    Entries

    Oi. I hate talking about myself, so this is probably going to sound silly. ^_^

    My name is Ruthanne, and I'm a 26 year old college student who happens to be very pleased because this year I can actually afford to attend full time. ^_^

    I am presently enjoying (????) my senior year and will be graduating with a Bachelor of Music (in piano performance) and a Bachelor of Science (in Bible) in May of '02.

    Yes folks, that's a double major. As a result, I have no life.

    For proof of this, here are my sites, on which I spend whatever random free time I can get:

    >>Trinsan.com - main - humor, music downloads, random links, etc.

    >>Incongruous - writing, both original and fanfiction

    >>GFWR - The (Good) Fanfiction Webring

    >>Bob, AKA the Trinlist - mailing list for fanfic announcements and random discussion

    >>The Archives - past blog layouts/entries/etc., just for the heck of it

    I am presently fortunate enough to have a job I love (webmaster for a non-profit organization), and a family who supports me; I also have what might be called a killer network of friends. *waves at everybody*

    My interests are narrow but ecclectic:

    Manga/ anime (DBZ, CLAMP stuffs, Gundam Wing, Shoujo Kakumei Utena, Slayers, Yami no Matsuei, etc.)

    Writing (both music and fic - in fact, there's a novel in the works, but shh, don't tell)

    Internet stuffs (some have argued that this is WHY I have no life, double major aside)

    Religion (philosophy, apologetics, Christianity - hey, it's all good ^^

    If you want to know anything else, feel free to contact me; I'm ridiculously busy, but I really do love to hear from folks. My email is sheesh@iamnotboring.com. (Yes, I'm serious. :p)

    And now, if you were strange enough to read this far, you get the treat of seeing my links. ~_^

    Oh, why the hell not...


    Current Dress: freaking huge black sweatshirt (it's SOFT, okay?) and similarly freaking huge grey sweatpants I stole from my dad. Which are also soft. ^_^ (and warm. It's SNOWING here... @_@)
    Current Makeup: None. Don't you know for every 8 hours you wear that stuff it can age your skin up to two weeks? ~_^
    Current Hair: Sort of a twist-pony-tail-bun thing. I.e., I wanted it up and got lazy. ^_^
    Current Annoyance:That I have to practice. Erk... that's not good, is it? @_@
    Current Thing I Ought To Be Doing: Practicing. Gee, I see a tred here....
    Current Desktop: A really big chameleon. No, I'm serious - he's cool.
    Current Favorite Group: Linkin' Park or Tori Amos. all of which is likely changeable with mood. ^^; Animation? Gundam Wiiiiing! Actually... no. I like the STORY and the CHARACTERS... but in terms of raw animation, CLAMP wins. (Old style CLAMP, that is - they're newer stuff is WEEEEIRD. @_@)
    Current Book: Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians. I want to get out of schoooooool.... *cries*
    Current CD in Stereo: Erm... I have a DVD in there (Tokyo Babylon) - in terms of music, I'm doing the MP3 thing right now. Shhh. ~_^ *loves Depeche Mode and Tori Amos today, for some reason)
    Current Color Of Toenails: Um... real? o_O

    FAVORITE...
    Food:
    White cheddar flavored popcorn at THIS moment. That'll change, too. >_<
    Drink: Coke with cherry syrup. Num. ^_^
    Shoes:Sneakers with arch support. ~_^
    Candy: Mmm... you know, I'm actually thinking granola right now. Does that mean I'll live longer? Huh? Does it? ~_^
    Animal:Doggies!! *wants a puppy SO badly... American Eskimo, preferably*
    TV Show: Um... I kinda don't WATCH. I have no freaking time. >_< Gundam Wing, I guess...
    Movie: Can't answer that one. Nope. ...okay, maybe the original Star Wars, if I HAD to name something.. (and I named THREE! HA! *looks cheating-ful happy*)

    ARE YOU...
    Understanding:
    Yes. It's why I get burned out and drained all the time. *unstable laughter*
    Open-Minded: Yes and no - it's possible to avoid "judgmental" while still holding your own opinion and actually *gasp* DISAPPROVING OF THINGS. Look out, Politically Correct Police. >_<
    Arrogant: Well you know, this is weird; I've been told that I'm "lofty on the outside but loving on the inside" (no, I'm not making that up). I have no freaking clue how that translates here. -_-;
    Insecure: Definitely.
    Interesting: Nope. I'm a hermit.
    Hungry: Nope.
    Friendly:Sure. Once you get past my "standoffish" ... something or other. o_O
    Smart: Eh. Sorta. I know I have brain power, but applying it is PART of intelligence - and that, I don't seem to have. ~_^ Ah, well....
    Moody: Of late, no. Just overtired. ^_^
    Childish: Dunno. I think I wouldn't mind being child-LIKE... however, at the moment I just want school to be over. That childish enough for you?
    Independent: Hell, yes. It sucks sometimes. ~_^;;;
    Hard Working: Definitely. Witness my amazing lack of sleep due to sakd hard workingness...
    Organized: Well... moderately.
    Healthy: You know, I WOULD be if I had more time... @_@ <-*bags under eyes*
    Emotionally Stable: Yeah... decently so. And I didn't USED to be, so this is a good thing. ^____^
    Difficult: *snickers* Probably. I know I'm stubborn....
    Attractive: Nope. Hence, I lean on zee power uff my MIIIIND... *insert cackle*
    Bored Easily: Yes. I HAVE to have something to do at all times. (Multitasking, ne?
    Messy: Only when I'm stressed. My mess = my stress level - more stressed = less clean. Er... room, not ME. :p
    Thirsty: Nope. ^_^
    Responsible: I try. I should try harder.
    Obsessed: Animeeeeee! Huzzah! *does a dance*
    Angry: Not really, no.
    Sad:Sometimes.
    Happy: Content - which is honestly better. ~_^
    Trusting: Yes and no; I trust people I know too much and don't trust people I know at all. I am a study in opposites. *big, stupid smile*
    Ill: A little - I need REST, damnit.
    Talkative: Oh, gods, yes. *apologetic look at Manzai, who gets the brunt of it lately*
    Legal: Extremely. ~_^
    Original: I want to be. I hope to be. I wanna write, so... I kinda NEED to be. D'oh! >_<
    Different: Eh, yeah, in my mad hermit skillz kinda way....
    Unique: Aren't we all? ~_^ (yes, that was lame. shoot me.)
    Ignored: Not ENOUGH, damnit! *cries*
    Reliable:I try... and fail, becuase I simply have too MUCH to do. >_< *urges school to be OVER...*
    Content: Yes, thus far. It's kind of a CHOICE, na no da?
    Optimistic:Hell, no. Life sucks.
    Deep Thinker: *laughs* Yes, too much so.
    Self-Disciplined:Because I HAVE to be, which, I think, isn't the same thing.
    Sleepy: Always. -_-;
    Lonely: Not really, no. I have good friends who are there when I need them, and I have my alone time. *pets it* Nice alone time. Niiiiice....

    On the other hand, I'm 73% pure - which isn't GREAT, but it's better than it could be, ne? ~_^ (feh. stupid Nick... >_< Julie, if I ever do something like that again, shoot me. In the head.)

    Saa, Lilack, don't worry about any kind of pressure in getting back to me - this is the QUEEN of too-busy-to-do-!@#$%^%& here. *sweet smile* And I LOVE the wallpapers!!

    Of course you're not dead. If you were, I'd be terribly upset. ^^; Nevertheless, it's good to see you functioning. Sort of. ~_^

    Hey, Whitecat - didja try here? Some good YnM stuff to be had at Leareth's place... ^_^ (keeping in mind that the Doll one is... eeeegah. In a good way, of course. ^_^;; )

    And Gio> has an awesome blog layout that I forgot to mention, for lo, I am a twit. ^^;; Spike Spiegel, anyone?

    hm... I should probably go see Blade 2. I think I want to. Even though Christopher Lee in both that and LOTR rather cracks me up...

    Poor Christopher Lee. Dracula, Hyde, Sauroman... does he NEVER get good guys?

    At least he's no longer working at Hammer Studios... >_<

    And I LIKE your layout, Gwendolen... honestly, I think it's trippy and classy and just NEAT. Then again, blue and black ARE two of my favorite colors. *points at Sei-chan*

    *blinks at Leash and Chaos* Vacation? Oooooh... *swats head* That explains a lot, eh heh... ^^;;

    *laughs* Overslept, eh? Mou... I've done that. Too many times to count. ^_^;; *victory sign* At least your body got something it needs...

    Okay, lesse... pre-recital hearing has been moved to Tuesday, which is REALLY a good thing because after only two weeks of practice, my memorization for my hour long senior recital is not yet complete. HOWEVER...

    Tomorrow:

  • 8-page paper for Dr. Emmons, A.K.A. Satan
  • Program notes for my recital, which is basically a book of stuff on my composers and the pieces I chose to play
  • Presentation, with materials, on the oboe (which I don't play - this is for Instrumental Literature, which is taught by Mr. Benjamin of "Oh. They told me *I'M* the one who said you could get a scholarship" fame.

    Sound busy? Oh, hell yes. Hiiiii-yeeeeeell yes. Yes Yes yes...

    Yes. @____@

    To Be A Dreamer

    I wrote a fic! And it's... really really short. Oh, well. I don't have time for more just now. :p

    Eeeek!! You're back!! I was beginning to think you two had dropped off the end of the world. ^__________^

    Welcome back!

    *laughs* and on second thought, Leareth, of COURSE you have about 80 million people offering to host your TB scans! You're loved, silly. :p (and TB is ALMOST loved as much. ~_^) BTW - can you view Mpeg's on your comp?

    My brain hurts, mommy... ;_;

    Almost done with this semester, but I gotta admit: this is the closest I've come to feeling genuinely depressed in a LONG time. Well... maybe "depressed" is the wrong word; try "overwhelmed" with just a touch of "fatalistic."

    Eh. I should go write something angsty and get this out of my system. ~_^

    At the moment, I just drove back from New York City through the rain, having gotten lost twice because I couldn't see where I was going - and call me crazy, but if I'm not absolutely SURE there's an exit there, I'm not turning off the road, na no da?

    At any rate, Marsh is convincing me I need to take a nap. I just might take her up on it, once I finish my chicken (note: no red meat; scroll down for information on WHY). Wheee... *wibbles and tries to stay awake long enough to swallow*

    Woo... WEIRD day.

    1. Did 4 and 1/2 hours of practice today - but it was a piano Steinway designed personally for his daughter, so how could I STOP?

    2. Every family has a lush. My great aunt is ours. She's currently insisting to me that it's time to change the clocks forward NOW - not next week. And because it's a bad idea to argue with when when soused, we have done so. -_-; NOW I have to stay up late and change them BACK... BAH.

    3. Did I mention said aunt insisted on cooking dinner?

    4. Did I ALSO mention that our steak was so raw that it wasn't even bleeding?

    5. We recooked it. Supposedly. It's still raw.

    6. Cousin Heather was brave enough to eat hers; I merely shoved mine around on the plate, covered it in a napkin, and threw it away. Ewwwww...

    7. On a totally random note, did I mention that this story by Leareth rocks beyond the point of rocking? Well... it does. ^___^ In a Tokyo-Babylony-Sadistic-to-Subaru kinda way. ^_^

    8. ARGH... yes, Aunt Gladys, all the clocks are set ahead tonight, whatever you say... @___@

    And people wonder why I never get drunk. <_<;;

    Woo. Still haven't left yet. Gotta love the whole "traffic delays" thing they've got going on with the trains to 30th street station just now.

    I do believe I'm going to drive to 30th street and then take the train from THERE. It's that or drive to NYC; and even I'm not crazy enough to do THAT. (I LIKE my car, dangit...)

    Items of business:

    #1: Everyone, I'm sorry I wasn't there last night. I got home from an amazing night out with a couple of awesome friends, lay down for a short nap... and didn't wake up until this morning.

    I think I was tired.>_<

    Anyway, hope to see all you guys online tonight at SOME point - I'll be in NYC, so there's no guarantee just WHAT time, I fear. ^^;

    #2: Okay, now - this is for Julie and if this makes no sense to anybody else, too bad. ~_^

    You're absolutely right about Guardians, Julie; the thing is that while it had been happening gradually, last night made it OFFICIAL - if you know what I mean. I actually FELT it pass on - or felt it when I passed it on, which, weirdly, makes more sense.

    In a way, it hurt; there was a really bizarre sense of separation that I've never felt from you before; for the first time in... well, I don't know how long, I actually felt ALONE.

    And charge-less. Was very, very bizarre.

    So now what? Well, I dunno; once I got home and kept my clutches on that wonderful little present you gave me, I DID feel better. ~_^ Probably the whole, "um, DUH, you're not ACTUALLY alone" thing kicked in. ^^; However, Julie, all I can say really right now is this:

    Now... I really, REALLY need the other half to show up. @_@

    Blah. Enough Cryptic Mutterings. *goes to pack*
