Status Update: Sore throat replaced with migraines and vomiting. I can't keep anything down! Wish that I knew what was wrong. x.x More rest for me. After I post.

took this picture of me a month or so back. I think I need more pictures like this, because this is me. How I would like to be seen-- crazy and silly, someone who is smart but enjoys life. Not extremely depressed and always searching for that sweet, elusive love that you want with all your heart.

Some people came up with some good questions here: http://www.formspring.me/jamielynnlano
Please ask me some more if you have any! You can do it anonymously, so..

Something interesting.. a few of you guys commented that my last post made me seem more real. Sharing how I felt about love. I thought about those comments for a long time. I really wish that I could seem real (as in, not fake or contrived), but I'm not sure how. It's sometimes hard to talk about sad things.. and I suppose it's not the subject, but the possibility of reproach. There's a level of anonymity online which makes it a tad easier to take criticism, but it can still hurt, even so. So I was thinking.. I'd like to tell a story tomorrow, one involving me and a really harsh online problem that happened before I came to Japan. Is anybody interested in hearing it? It happened on lj, so some of you already known if you remember back far enough..

And I'd like to hear your stories, too. Here. If you'd like to share them. Have you ever been harrassed online, and what did you do about it? I'm really curious, since I think most of us have..

Shishido's new song is something I didn't expect. My image for Shishido is rock-ish so this kind of slow song, I didn't expect it, but it's good. It's really good and it fits him, I guess.

Shishido Ryou - Now ≠ Then

Before that:

* Books read recently: Unwind by Neal Shusterman and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (originally named Men Who Hate Women) by Stieg Larsson. Check 'em out.
* Very cool.

Oh, Japan... Why are you so far away from me?

I'm considering buying Declan Software's ReadWrite Kanji, and perhaps also their flashcard system and dictionary. Has anyone here had experience with these packages? I would really appreciate your candid opinion.

(I don't see a tag for software, so I will use the dictionary tag. Mods, please change if necessary.)

There was a recent post here in the Tenipuri community that got me thinking. Either in the post itself or in the comments, someone alluded to the fact? rumor? that Konomi had originally envisioned Kintarou as the star of PoT and Shitenhouji as the main featured team. (I went back like 160 entries to try to find this post and couldn't...)

This really got me thinking. What would PoT have been like if someone other than Ryoma had been the star - and another team, not Seigaku, had been the featured "home" team for the fans?
