Spoiled Lazy Days

Have you ever had one of those days where you just want to be holed up in your room and not do anything but eat chips, drink soda, watch random things on the internet, knit, or something that doesn't require that much energy? Well, today was one of those days for me. But unfortunately, it was foiled. I tried, but failed. First, there was a thunderstorm, so our power kept going out. Which meant that I had to get out of bed and reset the internet so I could watch anime...which I will get to talking about later. Then, the series ended. So I knitted(sp?). And apparently I have lost my touch at knitting because I just couldn't bring myself to do more than a couple of rows without screwing up. Anyway, then my parents got home, and I got harrassed about not mowing the lawn today and having food in my room, and not hanging the key to the car up, and blah blah blah...Then, as I was going to give my stepmom the key that she wasn't going to be using, I spilled soda all over my bed. Which sucks a lot. So now, I'm exiting my laziness because I have to change my sheets and do laundry, and I really really don't want to. And I don't care that I sound like a baby, because I'm usually not this lazy, so I feel I deserve a break.
So that's that.

Oh my god. One of the best anime ever. When it ended, I was completely satisfied, and it just gave me a really good feeling. I like anime more than American shows because our shows are just a jumble of shallow comedy or drama with only a surface plot line and no character development. I know I'm being a little harsh, but anime is just so much better in my opinion. And this anime had all the things that American shows lack and more. You felt a real connection to the characters, and understood their feelings and why they felt the way they did. The music was great (it pretty much had to be, as the plot revolves around the main character's wish for a career as a singer). Actually the whole thing was great. Great, great, great.
Yes, I am an anime fan. But I'm also a fan of Japanese culture and language.
Wish me luck! I'm trying to get into a residential program at my university so I can live with people who are trying to learn more about Japan and it's language. I hope they tell me soon!
OK. Back to trying to fix my bed...oh joy.
お休むなさい!
見知子です よろしくお願いします!
