[Janelle in Japan IV] one final down!

Two more to go. I think I did well on the IR final. I got a 92 (the highest grade in the class) on my term paper, so that's good...hopefully I'll end up with an A in the class. That would be nice. Too bad it doesn't count towards my GPA back home. :p So its like, almost worthless...well, it'll look nice when I apply to a grad school.

Tommorow is my Japanese Modern History final, and my teacher is a bit picky so I need to go home and er...read those books for class that I never got around to reading.. -.-;

I had a lot of fun this weekend...can't really recall much of what I did, but I had a lot of fun. Oh yeah, had yakiniku and went on a drunken karaoke binge (well, not me...but Aaron was drunk enough for us all.) Went bowling too and scored a pathetic 68 the first game and 61 the second time. Hahaha...I used a 7 lb ball too (they had 6 lb balls as well, in addition to the even lighter ones you give to kids)...do they even have those in the U.S.? Hell, my score should be proof enough that I don't go bowling often.

I stole this from Chad's journal...sort of like the reverse of those stupid chainletters that you send around... Answer it if you're bored. ;P

1. Give me a nickname and explain why you picked it.

2. Am I lovable?

3. How long have you known me?

4. When and how did we first meet?

5. What was your first impression?

6. Do you still think that way about me now?

7. What do you think my weakness is?

8. Do you think I'll get married?

9. What makes me happy?

10. What makes me sad?

11. What reminds you of me?

12. If you could give me anything what would it be?

13. How well do you know me?

14. When's the last time you saw me?

15. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't?

16. Do you think I could kill someone?

17. Describe me in one word.

18. Do you think our friendship is getting stronger/weaker/or staying the same?

19. Do you feel that you could talk to me about anything and I would listen?

20. Are you going to put this on your livejournal/blog/xanga and see what I say about you?

Okay, okay, Kenneth...the 5 things I'm grateful for.

1. That you're coming to visit in 3 days.

2. That I'm going to Hong Kong in a week.

3. That I'm going back to Los Angeles in a month.

4. That finals are done in 3 days.

5. That I have 3 more months at USC.

Wah, reading Adey and Tommy's xangas has really made me miss being in LA...

Hey! Stop getting worked up by silly comment(I'm talking about that comment from your last entry). It's never gonna end if you read way too much into them, all they have to do is write some silly stuff to get you all hyped and stressed! This is YOUR jorunal, you should be writing what YOU think, not what the others want you to think. If they want to mess with you head, let them do whatever they want, don't downgrade yourself in order satisfy them. You should be worried about the people that really matters to you, e.g. me!! It may seems that I got worked up for this too, but it is just because you're the one that I care about. ;p

Aww, you actually read Tommy and my xangas? :) How sweet. I, on the other hand, hardly ever read yours. >xD

No idea why I'm doing this... we've never met. I think I'm just killing time because I don't feel like going home. I'll pick and choose.

1.La Dona (anyone who knows how to do the tilde-fied "N", lemme know) In the context that I know you, you're the final arbiter of reality, and you take that seriously.

7. Difficulty adapting to situations where you are not "La Dona".

10. Fucking up relationships; being alone

11. "Hypocrite" by Lush. Listen to it before you decide it's an insult.

12. 35 lbs.

13. Hardly at all.

15. Yes

16. Yes, but not personally. I can see you "giving the word", or pressing the button.

19. No.

1. Give me a nickname and explain why you picked it.

Janerupon.

2. Am I lovable?

Well, you're not hateable, so I'd say yes.

3. How long have you known me?

About three years, online or so?

4. When and how did we first meet?

IRC, then a quick meeting sorta at the Disney-AX where we didn't really talk to each other.

5. What was your first impression?

"She's not stupid enough to be a full-fledged Miaka."

6. Do you still think that way about me now?

Pretty much. Hahaha. You are neither stupid enough nor flighty enough to be a 'Miaka,' but then again, you don't really go by that nick anymore, so who cares?

7. What do you think my weakness is?

You are very open about yourself, which is simultaneously a weakness and an asset.

8. Do you think I'll get married?

Eventually, yeah.

9. What makes me happy?

Achieving your goals. Let's hear it for personal-goal-orientedness! :p

10. What makes me sad?

When stupid people get away with being stupid.

11. What reminds you of me?

USC, or the thought of Filipinos/Filipino-Americans in not-very-diverse areas.

12. If you could give me anything what would it be?

A job, but I need to get myself one (full-time, etc.) first.

13. How well do you know me?

We're quite good acquaintances, I think.

14. When's the last time you saw me?

AX this year, when you, Tommy, Tanzy and I went to that Arby's in the kinda ghetto part of Anaheim.

15. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't?

Nah. I know you can take my brutal honesty. :p

16. Do you think I could kill someone?

You'd probably get someone else to do it for you.

17. Describe me in one word.

Fabulous!

18. Do you think our friendship is getting stronger/weaker/or staying the same?

Staying the same, I think.

19. Do you feel that you could talk to me about anything and I would listen?

Perhaps if we were closer, but eh, I'm not going to pretend to be superduper best friends with you because we're not, so you'll probably hear me out a bit and respectfully tell me to stfu, if applicable.

20. Are you going to put this on your livejournal/blog/xanga and see what I say about you?

Probably. I already answered Michi's post of this, so I should probably post it myself.

1. Nelly...dunno, always sounded cool

2. Sure why not

3. Eight years

4. At LAX when you were returning from Japan

5. Interesting character, great taste in Japanese cartoons, share the same interests

6. Aside from your extremist political views, I'd say yes

7. You're a marshmallow

8. Not while you're a far left

9. I know but I can't really answer it

10. Refer to 9

11. The postcards you gave me from high school--they're taped to my bunk

12. A promise to always be your friend

13. Well enough to know you sleep with the bedroom door locked

14. August or September in Ikebukuro

15. I've had the occasional frustrations with you but I wouldn't let them get the best of me because I might risk losing a great friend.

16. Seriously? No. You're a marshmallow. You couldn't live with the burden knowing that you've ended a life.

17. Booga

18. Weaker, but with reason. Our lives are going in opposite directions, making it difficult for our friendship to be as strong as it was in high school.

19. Oh yeah, totally. When it comes to interlocution, Janelle is an open season of good conversation.

20. Sure.
