☆星と一緒に歌うよ☆

Yo, yo dudes, here I am again with a new entry. Hoho!
Today I had my presentation in my Anglistics seminar about the Victorian Age Culture and Arts.
It was a group work and, well, I have to say it turned out quite good, actually. YES!
At the moment the prof said that my mark is a 1.3 with a tendency to 1.0 (we have to hand an excerpt of one of our source-texts and another mini-task in until next week).
Let's just say: WOUHO! At least I have no problems in one of my subjects. Hah!
Well, I'm planning not to have any problems in Japanese as well. Next week on Wednesday I'll have my language exam. Ugh.. there's quite a lot to learn again (as always). But I think I can manage this. :)

What else? Last weekend I watched the Anime "Shiki" (屍鬼) which is the adaption of a light novel and also turned into a manga.
I have to say it was one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen. The story is quite good, actually.
It's about a smal village called Sotoba and the people living there. One summer the great European style mansion in the village gets new owners - strange people who moved in at night. Around the time of their arriving people in the village start to die of uncertain reasons.
The only doctor in the village, Ozaki Toshio, tries to find out which disease hunts the village people down. A second main character would be Yuuki Natsuno, a 15-year-old high-school student who moved into Sotoba a year ago and only wishes to get back to the big city again. The two of them find out after a while what the real cause of the numerous deaths is...
Well.. that's the story without any spoilers in short form. If you like horror, psychological and gory stuff you should give this anime a try.
I started reading the manga as well, because due to the shortness of the anime (22 episodes) not all character plots are developed as they should/could be. I guess the novel is even better, maybe I'll read it, too... it's Japanese only, but maybe I'll be able to get one while I'm in Japan.
(Ah yeah.. lol I never mentioned this here, but I'll definitely go on an internship this year, starting in May/June, I assume. I want to work at a hotel (in Okinawa, when I get the place there for summer or in Hokkaidô for winter). I applied already and had an interview with the dudes at  the Australian organisation which provides the internship slots. Right now they're negotiating the possibilities. I hope everything will turn out well. I can't stand university at the moment and need to get out of here to regain some energy and positive thinking concerning my studies. Oh lol a few weeks ago I thought I would go nuts if I were to be stuck in university any more second. xD")

Or anything like that... at the moment the weather in Leipzig is just perfect! Sunshine, ~ 20°C, and the leaves are getting more and more colourful.
An autumn should always be like that.

Hmmm okay, what to tell?
The dudes of you who follow my twitter account already know the most of it, but...
1st I had my re-exam in Japanese yesterday. It went kinda good. Tomorrow the results should be ready. I hope for a 70+ %. Oh boy, one year ago it would've been a 90% hope. Meh... but since I still have problems with active kanji writing I guess it won't be that good. Sah~.
To be honest I almost died the day before the exam because I felt I hadn't learnt enough o_O. My fault, but I'm simply not the "start learning months before" type. I never was.

Speaking of it I managed to write my seminar paper in 2 days. Oh lol... actually I wrote about 10-12 hours. Searching for material and checking on it took me another 2 days. I guess the paper isn't perfect, but since I changed my subject a week before the dead line due to the bore-factor of my first subject, I guess it went quite good.
Plus, I had a cool e-mail conversation with my prof. I asked if I could attend one of her seminars for the 3rd semester people and she was like: "Only sitting by? No. But if you want to participate, I'd be pleased. ;-)"
She used a fackin SMILEY!!! o_O
(Side note: She is known as one of the most demanding and stiffest profs at our institute.)
Because of that I assume that she either didn't read my paper yet, or she thought it wasn't that bad. Hohohohoh. I hope for the last!

Random:
I.... I'm so totally listening to 雅-MIYAVI- now.
o_______O
I still can't believe it. ME, the Miyavi-hater before all known gods, is listening to him since 4 days on repeat.
When we were playing Doppelkopf at decembersong 's on Sunday, she had her music library on shuffle and suddenly　雨に唄えば~ピチピチチャップチャップランランブルース~　was on play.

I was like: Dude, is this Miyavi?!
Steph: Yeah.
Me: WTF the song's good?!?!
Steph: ?!
Me: Usually I can't stand him.
Steph: o_O

Hrm.. anyways the story ends like this: I borrowed the "7 Samurai Sessions" album from her and by now I have the "This Iz the Japanese Kabuki Rock" and the "Miyabiuta dokusou" albums to, listening to them almost all the time. o_O"

We all know that concerning his guitar skills, no one could say anything against him, because he is... amazing.
Nevertheless when it comes to his voice I was always pissed off. He sounded somehow like... a frog or something. His voice was off so often and.. bah horrible. Plus, his attitude pissed me off, too. xD
(Maybe because we are similar in some tiny ways chrm.)
But now... I donnu but something in his voice and also in his singing style changed. nanairosmile told me he took singing lessons, maybe this is the reason. Hm... maybe the fact that he did some experimental stuff with the Kavki Boyz contributes, too.
Anyways, I'm totally flailing over his last 3 albums right now, I'm almost frightened.
Especially the "Ame ni utaeba" song above kicks ass so much... you could try to find out which part kills me the most.
(I'm still trying to pretend to myself that fackin Miyavi's fackin voice doesn't make me think SEX!nao! "Holy crap there's feeling and power in it!")

Well I'm relieved that it still annoys me, how he moves sometimes. It's not as bad as it was back in 2006 (if you want to stalk certain entries in this journal, go ahead XD""), but still.. it is. Plus I can't stand the songs from the "Gagaku" and "Galyuu" albums... I tried to listen to them again, since they were the first ones I heard from him and found them shitty.... *phew* So I hope I won't turn into a drooling fangirl in the end.

Hm... but now I have to consider to really attend one of his concerts if he comes back to Germany one day.
I only hope I won't jump and slap him if he's acting like he always seems to do. Gah.
(Oh crap, the fact that THIS annoys me so much is the most frightening to be honest... and that I secretly envy him for his cool and relaxing clothing style like in the video above. I want to wear that sometimes, too. But as a girl everyone would think I'd have problems with my body or bla bla bla bla bla bla.)

Okay, that's all..
Take care.

Fangirl over and out. >___<

Bitte sehr:




Noch als Nachtrag:
Das Konzert war SO geil!
Ich wusste nicht, welche anderen Bands noch mit dabei sind, aber mal abgesehen davon, dass The Sound of Junin wieder mal extrem abgegangen sind, war die erste Band, Looks That Kill, ein wahrlicher Appetithappen. Rocknrolllll sag ich nur!
Und.. die 2. Band... die ZWEITE BAND... ich habe mich verliebt, wirklich.. oah waren die scharf! So geile Musik, ich glaubte, sterben zu müssen. *_______*" Roadcrash heißen sie, sind zwar verdammt jung, aber spielen wahrscheinlich schon seit ihrer Embryonenzeit oder so.. einfach nur geil!

Ziehts euch rein. Hab mir gleich ne CD besorgt. WUAHAHAH.

1st Going by bike is awesome. Especially in winter, when the sun is shining. Drove 19 km today which was kinda hard, because I didn't do it lately, but amazing anyway. Felt so healthy. :D

2nd Visiting fellow students planning to "speak Japanese in order to prepare tomorrow's text exam" is destined to fail... because we like it better to talk about music and games, but ... hm in German. If we'd spoke about all this, like we did, in Japanese, I would immediately stop studying. XD"

3rd Meeting with other fellow students for a coffee/tea/cocoa ends up in one of Leipzig's "fancy" cafés. I guess we scared some other guests to death by talking crappy Japanese and laughing maliciously. There was one father with his kids who seemed to be stunned by this. Thought his eyes would bulk out of his head, seriously. xD"

4th Playing "Silent Hill" is no good, at least for me. I can't play horror games, I would never survive all this shit. Honestly. I was shaking all the time and freaked out only when random music started!!! >__<
But I love watching other people play that kind of game. :)
Basti entertained me very well. Too bad, Tini had to leave so early. I really like Pyramid Head, though. Guess it's because of the cosplay pics I found of him, once. In my head he's a cool fellow, sitting in the kitchen and preparing a cheese bread. :D

5th Of course I was paranoid when I left Basti and headed home. Heard strange noises everywhere, even over my music. >___<

6th I need to do the dishes more often. o_O In ... 8.5 hours Tini and Basti will be here for breakfast and I have to clean up. AAAAH!

Well.. this is all for now.
Have a good night, dudes.
