Since I didn't have TOK today, I spent fourth period with Nathan and Katsnelson. Quite entertaining. So, that was fun.

Also, Redhead IMed me the other day. I haven't talked to him in about, oh, eight months. So that was rather interesting as well. But, looking back at my old IM's, I think I've grown up a little. I mean, really. Some of the things I said were just stupid. But, hey, I still say stupid things. What do you know.

Oh, more to go on the must-read list: I want to read me some Nietzsche. He's got some interesting theories.

Apparently, dad bought me Akira for my birthday. But, during spring break when I went with mum to Game Stop, I saw Akira, and decided I wanted to buy it. Since I've always wanted to see it, but I never have. So, the other day when my dad's driving me to school we start talking about the anime movies he's seen, and I say, "And you can watch Akira with me, too!" He goes, "WHAT?" all scary-like. Yep. And he tells me he's bought the japanese version, imported and everything. But it's ok now, since apparently they had run out of copies of it. So I won't be getting the imported version from Japan. I'm still going to wait to watch it until my birthday. And until dad can watch with me.

Speaking of anime, kinda. We finally had another japanese club meeting yesterday (I think it must have been about a month since our last one, thanks to the snow) and I show-and-telled my stuffed tonberry and cactuar. Now that was fun. And I also brought in three books, too, the art of final fantasy 9 (like the book, hate the game), How to draw Manga, and this art book of X, by CLAMP. I've never actually seen the series, but my uncle gave me the book for my birthday a couple years ago, when he found out I liked anime. It's got lots of purty pictures...

I've got 17 unread messages at my hotmail account, and all of them are from this one yahoo group I joined. I ended up sending all the emails from the club to my hotmail account, since nobody knows about it, and my yahoo account is my main one. But, I've been thinking that if I don't read them soon, I should just leave the group, since I'm not a particularly active member (I've posted twice) and it's just another thing to waste my time.

But, I am happy! My computer may be arriving today! It's very odd, since when we ordered it we expected it to come about a week AFTER my birthday. But if the UPS info is correct, it should arrive sometime today. Hopefully before 5, since my parents have a ceramics/pottery class, and if the computer hasn't gotten here by then they'll feel obligated to stay so they can sign for it. Because, of course, I can't expect to sign for it since I'm a minor.
