Spiff! That's my favorite kind too :3;;;

It is AMAZING how boring things can be when you are researching for something...

Right now, I am finishing not one, but TWO research projects on Japan :3;; One on Yasunari Kawabata, and another on Samurai.

For the Yasunari Kawabata one, I am TRYING to add depth to it, but it's proving difficult, as there are no actual criticisms about the story I'm supposed to discuss >.<; Everyone talks about Yukiguni, dammit T_T;

As such, I am making due and hoping she's highly amazed by knowledge in Japanese :D;; Essentially, the topic I must cover is the conflict between past and present worlds for the story. Erm. Hopefully, I can make it all up @.@;

The other topic I am working on is the samurai. Ah, the samurai... lots of interesting families then. My favorite, actually, is the Sanada family (go Yukimura!), but the Otani family has a special place in my heart too. I won't rant about how amazing Otani is, because no one cares, and I don't feel like wasting my time writing something *I* already know...

An interesting note for those of you interested in Japanese/Samurai history (actually, this is mostly for Trey X3; ) the Atobe family and the Oyamada family were both retainer families under Takeda, and hence, allies... Also, the Asakura family are the daimyo for Echizen XD

For those of you who don't know, I hate hate hate Oda Nobunaga, because, as a ninja afficianado, I know that he was deathly afraid of the ninja and had a country-wide killing spree of people even remotely suspected of being from a ninja family. T_T; He's usually a villain in anime too, even among the samurai, but most especially to the Sanada family (who, under Yukimura, had an elite ninja force)

I could theoretically discuss all the other anime connections to Japanese history, but that would be long (and boring to most anyone who reads this journal), and well, I have priorities right now :D;;

As such, I am off to go and work more on 水月 :3

The randomness is spreading...

omg. My head is eating itself. x.x; I tried to go to bed at 5 this morning. Honestly I did. But it just wouldn't work. I ended up pondering Yukimura Sanada, what things I should talk about that I didn't include in my outline, and how I was going to keep my two lectures seperate. So, I'm operating under little sleep, I have meteorology looming over my head tonight, Chinese tomorrow, and a stupid, rackenfracken lousy story to write for Creative Writing because I said I would because I've missed so many classes/assigments >.<;

The weekend was not relaxing... at least not consciously relaxing. I slept through half of it, but I'm just going into the week with a deficit anyway. TWO couples are fighting in Punz now x.x; Rebels characters are complaining about lack of recent spotlight time, and Sininnen is bitching about wanting to make up with Huang.

In other, freakier news, I've been getting a lot of those... weird longing feelings again. You know, the ones where I just, I dunno, have this, like, deja vu feeling that the situation I'm in occured in ancient Japan. It's a very weird feeling, but my chest just gets all tight, and I can almost SEE faces that are quite obviously not there.... Yeah, I probably sound like a real loony right now :D;;;

Maybe it's reincarnation short-wiring, or maybe it's just my imagination kicking me in the head. I don't know; the tightness in my chest is not really... physical, but more like the tightness you get when you look at a picture of a family member/pet who died. It's that nostalgic feeling of something you really miss hitting you again... does ANYONE else even have a clue as to what I'm talking about? x.x;;; mrrrf.

I have to draw something. Or sleep. I can't tell which. Eating would be good too x.x; I've just had absoltutely no time to do any of the three ;.; Luckily I ate alot this weekend. Stupid school >.<;

My dad was SO unbelievably chatty this morning. It's amazing he couldn't see that I was obviously just trying to sleep during the car ride to school :D; I was a little short with him, but it wasn't a 'rude!Rin' sort of shortness. More of just answering with mostly grunts :D;;;

It's a really nice day, which I think is the reason that I could act so animated when I was giving my presentations. Nya~ If this were a rainy day... ha ha, unleash the beast :3;

Spring Week continues today. No, that doesn't mean I'm out of class. It means that the school clubs all do fun activities... and end exactly when I get out of my classes >.<; Whee, so no fun for me. T_T;

Uhm, hopefully the meteorology lab will be open (though I doubt it, rawr.) In any case, I must hunt down food, at least to keep me awake (it's gotten to the point where if I even lower my eyes, I almost fall asleep). Hopefully, class will be short and innocent today, though I feel like I have SOMETHING due ::hides:: ;.;
