#33: MUAHAHAHA, I lied!

There never was a Christmas post. I took the pictures, but then last week my SD card broke, making all the stuff on it disappear. I have to buy a new one and re-take all the pictures, it's so annoying.

But let's forget Christmas for now, I'll report how the Japanfestival was and what I was doing concerning my year abroad because there indeed was stuff happening.
The Japanfestival was as awesome as it was two years ago. I bought a lot of second hand manga, increasing my collection to a total of 314 manga. Over 20 are still unread. It's annoying as well but actually fun. Right now I'm reading Sgt. Keroro. My favourite character is Giroro and Tamama. They're so cute! But actually the highlight of the whole event was a certain show group which did not only perform a Bleach show but also took part in a cosplay casting. They were the viewer's favourite (according to the applause etc) but still didn't win the final. That made me really mad. That's all I can say. I loved it. 2015 I'll go again.

Now, to my year in Japan. First off all the important facts:
The year is actually "just" 10 months.
I'll take off at the 18th March this year.
I'll arrive in Narata.
My family lives one hour away from Tokyo, same for my school.
My school is amazing.
I can look over to Disneyland over the sea <3 br="">
I haven't done it yet, but I will write my family a letter. I can't wait longer, I bet they want to get to know me, too >___<
I heard of others that they got 2 families (arrival family, one for the time after that) but I'm really glad I didn't. I just hope it works out good for both of us. I need to learn Japanese ; 3 ;

But that wasn't what I wanted to share about what was going on. I wanted to talk about money.
The whole travel costs 7900€, quite much for my family. Well, actually it wouldn't be affordable without a scholarship. We got one, but there are still 6000€ left. That's why we went to a big company here in town and told them my problem. The time's running and they said we should have come sooner, but they said they'd try to help us. It's highly doubtable that we'll get ALL the money, of course not and my parents are gonna raise a credit, but the higher the credit is, the more interest there'll be. We want to keep it as small as possible, naturally. I offered to work when I'm coming back. Okay, I really hope that I don't have to do that. When I come back, I want to spend my time for school, friends, reuniting. And Japan. Not working. But if it's necessary, I'll sacrifice myself for that. That's just a minor thing I have to do in order to make my dream come true after all.
Now I got the tip that I should talk to high politician here. That'd be awesome if we could get more help.

So. Now I have to read more Keroro. After that: Shoujo.
And wow. This week. It's amazing. Today three classes, tomorrow two, the two days after that two or three and then... School reports and vacatioooooon. Woop woop! Slacking off! Like my favourite show group! <3 br="">

#32: My hand loves corrosive acid

Goddammit, what am I doing with my life? I wanted to post here like 2 weeks ago and now so much more happened, I don't even know where to start. Why the hell didn't I write it down? D:
Let's try to remember.

.........and then I wanted to write about Biology class where I got corrosive acid on my hand which I didn't notice until it started burning and other stuff. But that was so long ago, now it was Christmas, I got gifts and tomorrow Ouji-kun and his friend'll visit and I'll be busy showing them the capital, so veeeeeeee.
I love my Christmas gifts (and my friends). I'm definitely gonna brag about that here. So just wait. SOON.

#31: Error 404: Sleep not found

The birthday party was simply amazing. I had so much fun, it was just great. Well, I always have fun if I'm together with Z-nee but it's even more fun if Hungary-sama is around as well. We're a damn fine trio, working perfectly together. This weekend just proved it once more.

Hungary-sama picked Azu-nyan and me up and we drove to Z-nee's place (her parents drove us, but pffff (；≧∇≦) =3 ). We arrived just on time - 3 p.m., the time the celebration was supposed to start. After a powerful greeting from her dog which looks like a huge snowball and animosity towards us from her other younger dog, we sat down in the living room to eat cake (we had two different ones) and muffins (chocolate and vanilla with chocolate chips). I don't like cake, so I stuffed myself with muffins. Too bad I had lunch earlier, so I only got to eat two muffins (´∩｀。) I love Z-nee's muffin. Their consistence is just perfect. They weren't dry at all and... waaaah, muffins ヽ(≧Д≦)ノ
Once we finished we went upstairs and made us feel comfortable in one of her many living rooms. Our main intention was to watch a DVD, but first we sang a birthday song and gave Z-nee our gifts.

On the convention a month ago I spotted those two figures. I knew she loves the series, so Hungary-sama and me had the idea to split it and we take one of them. I took Tiger (I *am* Tiger!" 8D) and Hungary-sama Bunny (even if it was the other way round, doesn't matter). Azu-nyan got her the sexy Sebast-chan cup with Zelda mint drops. Hungary-sama also gifted her a picture frame with a photo of the three of us, but I won't show that, we all look retarded on that one 8D
After this was done, we finnaly watched the DVD from a magazine. On this DVD we had different 10 minute-previews of anime and also the first episodes of a few. We were curious about the German dub of Pandora Hearts, so we just watched that. That and a few others, as well as a guy cooking Christmas cake.
First series was "Berserk - Golden Age Arc Movie I". We watched it in Japanese so Azu-nyan'd understand it but they didn't talk much, so that was really pointless. 10 minutes didn't tell much about the story but I can say one thing for sure: I will never accept this person as a male. Eye lashes make everyone look more female, even the main character (that wasn't the main character though) ಠ_ಠ

After that we watched the thing we wanted to watch: Pandora Hearts. Although Oz (I'll call my child like that) is spoken by one of my favourite German voice actors, I can't help but think his voice doesn't fit the character at all. Hey, it's less worse than the horrible German dub of the new Fullmetal Alchemist movie (Milos something) where they used totally new voice actors although the old ones were just perfect ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ  But for some reason I don't want to watch the anime of the series. If I'll ever do something with the series, then it'll be reading. The manga has been for an eternity now on my shopping list but I always found games or manga with a higher priority so I never bought it. "Mardock Scramble : The Second Combustion" was next. I saw an article about the anime in the magazine already, but I swear, I didn't pay attention. So while we watched the first 10 minutes of it, there was this handsome blonde guy. He was getting friends with the main character and wanted to show her his lover. That's why they walked toward an ocean/sea until the guy said "There we are." It ended at this point. All of us were really curious about the lover, complaining that it suddenly ended. But I already made guesses: The ocean was his lover figuratively. Or maybe... hm, there was a sunset and ocean. It all seemed pretty gay, so... Gay?! Dolphins! His lover has to be a freaking dolphin! And I was damn right. It WAS a freaking dolphin. Why even... goddess. But just for the blonde guy named "Tweedledee" I'd watch the movie. Without knowing anything about the series 8'D
Last but not least we watched "Kämpfer" as an anime. Well, what can I say about this random shounen? The jokes. Holy shit, the jokes. They joked about the voice actors of their plushies because the plushies are the ones informing them that they're Kämpfers and so on. Spongebob Squarepants and "Attack No.  1" main character Mila. Our trio kept on joking about this the whole evening.
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion didn't make it any better. I mean I'm a Suzaku fan girl and when he appeared as SPINzaku I was done. Fangirling aaaall the time, hugging Z-nee's leg and screaming his name. (The atmosphere made me drunk...?) And I still dislike Lelouch sooo much. And C.C. And everyone except Suzaku.

While we finished watching anime with that, we continued with watching a guy baking a Christmas cake. As I already mentioned, Hungary-sama, who's a total pro if it comes to baking, kept on complaining about him not knowing things, naming things wrong and about the kitchen itself. She should make some cupcakes for
me. Hers are... wow. Just wow. I wonder if Master can compete with her （・ｗ・）
And then it was time for a super huge dinner.

Pizza, sushi, more pizza, mini pizza, buns with cheese and/or any kind of sausage... And we were only 4 people. I ate almost all of the mini pizza, at least half a tuna pizza... I was stuffed, but I kept on eating more o(>▽<)o

After going back upstairs we played the UNO card game, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, ate the sushi... And time just flew by. It was midnight already when we decided to play Old Maid with 3 different card sets, a different UNO game, the original one and then... a board game. In German it was called "Malefiz". Duh, this game made all of us damn aggressive and we sat there playing it for 2 hours. It was 3.30 a.m. when finally Hungary-sama won this shit. You can't imagine how frustrating it was. After that we all felt absolutely whacked but weren't tired. Still our group went down to the bathroom doing some business while I ate another piece of pizza.

The situation was just so stupid. While other people'd get drunk (17th birthday, duh!) we played board games until that time. It was so hilarious imagining how you'd tell this to your class mates or other people. "Woah, this weekend we had a gaming evening! We played the whole night and didn't even get to sleep. Aren't we hardcore? We played  a BOARD GAME."

I can't remember what we did after that, but when Z-nee and I went to bed (we shared a room while Azu-nyan and Hungary-sama shared another one), we talked for quite a while about our RPGs, dogs, parents... marrying... It was 5.30 a.m. when we kept silent and tried to sleep.

Z-nee woke me up at 9.30 a.m. and I felt even more tired than before. 4 hours of sleep on a weekend was probably a new record.

We got up, ate more cake for breakfast (I ate muffins) with cocoa (love that shit), played "Panic in Zombieland" and "Pokémon Rumble" on Wii, ate lunch (fish sticks!) packed our stuff and drove to my home after letting Hungary-sama off. I quickly brushed my teeth (haven't done this in a long time ＿|￣|○), threw 4 3D glasses in my bag, mooched money from my mum and made her drive us to the cinema where we met up with Hungary-sama. (We replaced Azu-nyan with my brother.)

We came to watch the movie "Wreck-it Ralph" I had been looking forward to for a really long time. Before the movie started, a short movie called "Paperman" from Disney was on. I don't really know what hit me. But the story was touching. It was animated in black and white, only the lipstick of the female main character was red. When the paper planes started leading them and the classical music started playing, I broke down and started crying like a baby. Especially when my brother told me he got goosebumps. I was disappoint, asking myself why *I* didn't get goosebumps because I knew how much it touched me. But then it just happened. I cried and made ugly faces.

Then the movie started. My brother and me freaked out about every detail, every video game (character) we recognized. Besides parents we also were the oldest visitors - probably the only ones who got the jokes though. So many insiders the small children probably didn't get. And then the credits of the movie. With this this song. And this one. I just sat there, singing along. I love it. I already told my mum that I want the soundtrack of this song as my Christmas gift from her. That and the two train group tickets.

Back home I ate a snack and later also dinner because I was really hungry after eating not much for lunch (wanted to have space for popcorn but in the end I wasn't hungry for that).

And then I went to bed at 10 p.m. (quite early compared to my last night) and fall asleep at 11 p.m.

But back to Christmas gifts... I finally have ideas for everything and ordered the last stuff I can't afford in normal shops online. Sadly, I was 3 € short so I spontaneously had to change my plan and buy different things. The people'll still appreciate it but I'm not sure if they won't be disappointed now that I got their expectations up with complaining about Christmas gifts being better than birthday gifts ○|￣|＿

We'll see. That's all I can say about that now. I mean I still got 19 days.

And with that we're getting to the last point.

A few days ago a person from the organisation called again. She asked a few questions about the explanation from the neurologist but yush, it's finally done!

I still need to get the money stuff done though (ﾉ∇･､)

NEED. TO. DO. THAT. As soon as possible, time's running, this Saturday I'll travel to the capital and meet other host students like Azu-nyan. I'm her company so to say. I won't know anyone and I'll probably be forever alone, but yay, smelling big city air once in a while is nice I guess （´ヘ｀；）

#30: My way of treating people

Wednesday I talked to Z-nee (OMG amazing, right? Talking to your best friend - I might be the first person ever to do this in fact) about upcoming Christmas. When I once again claimed, how much better my Christmas gifts always are (not pushing it, I was just whining about that), she (a seme who doesn't like to take much, especially because it feels like she owes me one) seemed to feel uneasy about this. Of course I understood that, particularly when she said she thinks birthday gifts once a year are enough and if she had to gift all of her friends she couldn't possibly do it because she also has a big family.
But seriously, getting things back is not my intention when gifting. Yeah, all the seme friends (and I have a lot of them) I got will have a problem with this but I don't care, ukes love to make their semes happy! ❤
That's my true intention after all. I just want to make people smile with this. I don't expect anything back, seeing that they consider my gift is more than I could expect or even want. I mean sure, I do LOVE gifts but moreover I'm a laugh maker, even if I'm sad and depressive an awful lot.
Or it's because of my sarcastic and teasing nature. Strangers won't understand this but I used to treat friends in a sarcastic way, act rude although I didn't mean it like that just to be a little funny. Yeah, maybe I'm exaggerating a little but you could say it seemed like I didn't treasure them right. I did though, I just showed it in a rather tsundere way. Maybe I'm a bad judge but I think this changed about a year ago.
I'm still a sarcastic person but I'm showing my love for my close friends in a gay way more openly, hugging them sometimes even although I don't really like to hug if not necessary. (Is it weird that I'm a cuddly person though? Well, let's just say I don't like to hug people not close to me like... class mates or "good" friends.) Pfffff and I'm still asking Z-nee casually everyday if she wants to marry me. She always rejects me, but yesterday she said the following:

• "I will marry you at the latest when you graduated."

Okay, she meant at the earliest, but still. Made my day, ohohoho. Besides my best friend fake sidekick there's also Hungary-sama. I rarely have any classes with her (actually only one and this is Politics D: ) so we only meet each other in breaks if we ever do and then we're all just happy to see each other. Like we three. Z-nee, Hungary-sama and me. My harem. (Am I the only uke around? That's probably why ; v ; )
I'm really looking forward to this weekend. The three of us (and Azu-nyan, we need a mascot after all) will celebrate Z-nee's 17th birthday with cake and probably too much food, (Last year we had sushi, pizza and mini pizzas if I remember correctly. We ate till our stomachs hurt and I swear, we didn't even eat all of it. There was still so much left...) followed by a sleep-over and going to the cinema to watch "Wreck-it Ralph" before it's actually at the cinemas.
Dat movie. Gamer movie. Can't wait to see it. Really. I've been looking forward to it so long and now I'm gonna see it earlier even >v<
And with that awesome weekend also the best month of the year will start: December! *O*
The most important dates'll be 1st, 2nd, 24th, 26th, 27th, 28th and 29th December. I'm looking forward to them the most. Maybe you already know/guessed why, if not maybe I'll write that here (or hint it).

Next blog post probably follows Sunday after I saw the movie including pictures of Z-nee's birthday gifts.
Oh, and I'm also planning to change my blog design a little more, adding a picture and an explaining page. Just check it soon, I'm working on it.

#29: Starting to feel better

When I woke up this morning, the pain in my ear was gone and didn't come back the whole day until now. Let's hope it won't till the evening.
Actually I wanted to go and see the doctor this morning but due to the loss of pain, I didn't think it was necessary. I guess I'm having some liquid in my ear because of the cold but with an infrared lamp this could be cured. Anyhow, I still got to do school stuff so I got no time to sit there, blinded and unable to do anything for a rather long time...
Since I'll write a test tomorrow (in Math class, yay!) I'll better be fit then. I don't want to miss more classes, working to make up for this sucks ; 3 ;
