Complain about all!

^good luck to you too

total came out to 7 pages. 9 hours straight + 3 hours before class + an hr maybe last night :blood: probably should read through it but I'll save that for the morning since we have to bring a hard copy to the prof's office

all those days we don't have class so that we can "work" on our research papers... ha. yes, I'll write mine the day of, thank you very much
//sigh

EDIT: I hate project reviews -__-

EDIT2: it pisses me off when the TA of my class on Wednesdays always sends us information about class literally the morning of. Once she sent a 30 page report to read for class. Dude, I have only an hour break for lunch between 8 and 4. pls stop.

EDIT3: why do I procrastinate.

EDIT4: goddammit, I thought I did better on this paper than the other of its kind...

和田光司さん逝く、楽しかった思い出ばかりが
2016年04月08日 16時56分

    和田光司さん
　桜が咲き、そして華やかに舞い散る、一年で一番心浮き立つ季節だというのに、悲しい報しらせが飛び込んできた。

　アニメ「デジモンアドベンチャー」の主題歌「Ｂｕｔｔｅｒ‐Ｆｌｙ」のヒットで知られるアニソン歌手の和田光司さんが、４月３日、亡くなった。療養中にそのまま眠るように亡くなった、と関係者に知らされた。

　和田さんは、上咽頭がんで闘病中だった。２００３年にがんが発見され、いったん休業して治療に専念。０６年に復帰し、ブラジルなど海外にも活動の幅を広げたが、１１年と１２年に転移したがんが見つかり、再び治療へ。１３年秋に活動を再開したものの、昨年夏頃に体調を崩し、再び休んでいた。

　２回目の活動再開後の１４年夏に、本紙「こころ」欄で私のインタビューに応じてくれて、「完治」しないご自身のがんについて、病気とうまく共存して、歌える時には歌って「余命４０年を目指している」と語っていた。治療の影響で、声が少しかすれていたけれど、ご本人は「僕は痛めた後の声の方が好き。災い転じてじゃないけれど、得たものは理想とする声（だった）」と話していた。

初めて会ったときのこと

    ２０１３年に２度目の復帰を果たし、イベントで、女性アニソンシンガーたちから歓迎の花束を受け取る和田さん
　私が和田さんと初めて会ったのは１０年秋のイベントの打ち合わせだった。アニソン歌手が半生を語るというイベントの趣旨に合わせ、子供の頃からの色々なお話をうかがった。野球に夢中で地区大会で優勝したこともあった少年時代。幼い頃はいたずらが大好きで、役所の池のコイを全部釣り上げてしまったり、学校の池にピラニアを投入してコイを全滅させたりしてすごく怒られたこと。

　どうしても音楽がやりたくて土木工事のバイトでためた４０万円とバッグ二つだけを持って京都から上京してきたこと。音楽をやるつもりが、なぜか俳優事務所に入ってしまい、ドラマの警官役でオーディションを受けさせられたこと。

　それでも歌をあきらめられず、１０００本くらいのデモテープを作ってはレコード会社や事務所に送り続けたこと。それらの大半は捨てられたのだけれど、たまたま放置されていたそのうちの１本を聴いたのがデジモンの担当者で、ついに９９年、代表曲となる「Ｂｕｔｔｅｒ‐Ｆｌｙ」と出会ったこと。そんな話を、ジョークを交えて語ってくれた。

和田さんと大笑いしたことも

    ２０１３年秋のイベントで歌う和田さん
　イベントではデジモンの最終回を再現しようと、私が「ミミちゃん」になって、ピンクの帽子を飛ばし、そこに和田さんがアカペラで主題歌をかぶせて歌うなんて実験的なこともやったが、和田さんもおもしろがってくれた。

　別のイベントでは、打ち合わせを終えて店を出てきたら大雪。はしゃいだ和田さんが雪の球を作っては高校球児のように球を投げ、そのコントロールがあまりにいいものだから、いい大人がみんなで新宿の裏道を逃げまどい、大笑いしたこともあった。

　復帰を祝ったイベントの席で、和田さんを歓迎してステージ上の和田さんに向けて、山形ユキオさんが歌ったのが迫力満点の「Ｙｏｕ ａｒｅ ｓｏ ｂｅａｕｔｉｆｕｌ」だったものだから、和田さんが何とも言えない神妙な表情で座っていたなんてこともあった。

おいしそうにビールを飲む姿が

　２度目の活動再開後は、だいぶ痩せたように見えたけれど、イベントにお呼びすれば、歌うだけでなく料理の腕まで披露してくれたし、大のビール党らしく、いつもビールをおいしそうに飲んでいた。メールの最後にはいつも「ぜひ飲みに行きましょう」と書いてあった。

　昨年晩秋、電話で話した時には、声の調子も今まで通りで、きっとまた、一緒にイベントが出来るものだと信じていたのに………。また飲みに行けると思っていたのに…。春になったらロングインタビューをやろうと相談していたのに…。

　楽しかった思い出ばかりが、次から次へと浮かんでは消えていく。まるで桜の花びらだ。

　きっと今、和田さんは長かった闘病生活から解放され、自由に、蝶ちょうのように、花曇りの空を飛んでいるに違いない。

　１４年のインタビューで、和田さんはアニソンについてこう語っていた。「病気をしてから、アニソンだから出来ることがあるんじゃないかと思うようになった。国境がないもう一つの世界が作れるんじゃないか」と。海外公演で、大喜びでアニソンを歌ってくれる聴衆の顔を思い浮かべての発言だった。

　その思いをしっかり受け止めて歩いていきたい。きっといつか、和田さんの夢に私たちが一歩でも近づけるようにと願いながら。

Spent two and a half hours cleaning up cable ties, wire fragments, insulating tape, cigarette butts and the like around telecommunications pits, pillars and cabinets this morning.
 
^Uh... that sounds horrible.

Been still dealing with this shoulder. And went in to talk about my feet. I don't need surgery on the right food but I have been having a lot of pain still. I can barely walk sometimes. Also with this headache too. I started taking this nasty med for it, so hopefully it'll help. I am tired of things not working, and doctor appointments. I feel so helpless not being able to do much because of pain. Well, bed time for me. I wish I could stop time sometimes so I could get stuff done. Sheesh.
 
I have to get up at 5:30 tomorrow morning because I have to go help with some run tomorrow. At least I'm not the one running. I hate running.

Well, now to sleep. :sleep:
 
Headache today, well, more like a migraine. I had started taking something stronger for it, but now that I'm coming off of it I am getting the migraines again. Ugh. And I've been having weird side effects, like twitching and sweating. And it mostly happens at night, of course. Today would have been good other than that. Also I have been having a hard time transitioning into more healthy foods. I am gaining weight now, so I have to watch what I eat. (Though I still have to have my snacks heh) I've never liked breakfast because I hate getting up early. My stomach is all in knots. Today was an exception, I was hungry. But I don't like cereal, at least not the healthy kinds. heh
 
Wow! It would look good except I don't like fish or seafood. The only thing I will eat is shrimp and it has to be fried. lol I used to like fish, but now it's kind of blech. I am not going to do well in Japan. heh
 
please let me get an A on this newspaper exercise that's due in an hour but is not finished yet.... I don't want to have to take the final exam

EDIT: :blood: :faint:

EDIT2: when you lose the changes you've made in the last 30 minutes: :glower: joomla pisses me off.

EDIT 3: what the hell, usgs topo basemap!?

When you are trying to concentrate in your job but people keep interrupting you every time remembering you of other tasks that are yet to be completed. Hey I know, but you interrupting me every time is not going to help!! :stupidbox: :notlistening:
 
It seems I never have enough time in the day to enjoy the things I like. When I get to it's almost bed time already. I am so tired all the time... and don't get me started on my migraines. I haven't been around much because of it and it sucks because I love going online and there's so much I want to read too. I get it in my head "oh, I'm feeling pretty good, very little pain. I am going to do something!" And then I fall asleep. heh Seriously I wish I could freeze time sometimes.
 
I go back to school tomorrow and then I have camp and then I have NAPLAN.
I'm just clinging to the last few hours of my freedom.
 
The phone has got to stop ringing!!! Seriously. Also my neck has been bothering me today, I try and not think about it, since I have been cleaning. But it's still there, nagging me. I wish it would just dissipate. Also there's nothing worse than warm Pepsi. Blech.
 
Camp was at the same time fun- but not fun.
I made some new friends and that was cool, but I also just found out why my old friends have been isolating me and hate me. Turns out it's not my fault at all, someone else wanted to twist my words. And that person who twisted me was so freaking mean too! They seemed to have no idea what they've actually done, not just to my old friends but me too. I've been a mess for months now and they show no guilt, no remorse, nothing. They even openly admitted to doing it too. Acting like I deserved it. I was just trying to explain something, I had no intention of "dobbing in" on my friend. I never EVER wanted to do that, that wasn't what I was even doing.

But nope, apparently I was, so this dumb mean person went and said, directly to my friend that I told them she was gay. Something that never happened. Ever. I was trying to explain what different sexualities are, they literally asked me to explain it.

So I've had no friends for months now because someone decided that my educational discussion was actually telling on someone for being gay. An illogical and nonsensical scenario. Why would I even do that in the first place? She was my friend. I'd like her to still be my friend.

And when that dumb mean person was telling me this on a night walk, at camp. After annoying me for like 30 minutes with the question "Why do you hate me?" along with other crap from all their friends. They recounted this event and acted like it was nothing, like it was a cute high school quip. Meaningless fun and ha-ha so funny.

To which I responded with " Do you know what the fuck you've done?! I've lost everything!" But nope; "You shouldn't dob your friends in" they said "It was all your fault"

That last line prompted a large scream of "Fuck you" from the top of my lungs which I'm certain could be heard from the back of the line all the way to the front.

So on the walk everyone stops, re-groups and I decide to cut ahead in the line. Move ahead of them. 5 minutes after we start walking I start to cry. in total 6 people noticed so 3 of us stopped with one of the camp's staff till I stopped crying for awhile and we started to walk again. We got back later than everyone else, and I went to my dorm and told a really good friend of mine what happened, the whole picture. So I became a blubbering mess again taking some deep breaths and talking it out, 3 more people and a hug later...

The dumb prick doesn't seem to notice.

It never occurs to her everything is all her fault. She's the reason why I'm crying, she's the reason I'm depressed, she's the reason I've been joking about drinking bleach 3 times a day, she's the reason I've been severely isolated for what is stretching over two terms now. She's the reason I'm like this.

But no. This is all still my fault.

Some teachers have come up and talked to me about this, including the co-coordinator on the last day of camp. They all say my attention should wholly focus on the friend that got hurt, while I do agree I can't help but want to give that prick a piece of my mind. I want her to know how I feel. I want her to apologise. Hell, the reason I haven't apologised to my friend sooner isn't just because it's salt in the wound for her, it's because it's salt in the wound for me too. Something which is her fault, again. One of my teachers asked me to write an apology email to my friend at the end of the last term. Wanna know why I cried 5 times writing that thing, wanna know the reason the letter and the entire event itself keep getting stuck in my mind, making me feel sick, depressed, unable to focus or do anything?!

Her!

I can't even bring myself to finish writing that damn letter or work on any kind of apology because of her and what she did. Her words have had an effect on me. She's framed me and I really want her to pay for it. In one way or another.

Click to expand...

I agree. Warm coke/pepsi is gross.



It seems like literally everyone around me is talking about politics. While the presidential race here is definitely... interesting, I'm tired of hearing about it over and over again. And I know it's just going to get more mainstream until November, so I guess I should be ready to plug my ears :notlistening:
 
^Only Pepsi. Not that nasty Coke stuff. lol (My cousin and I both love Pepsi, I try not to drink too much soda, but we have a love of Pepsi and a hate for Coke.)

I may have lost my necklace that is one of my all time favorite ones, and I can't just go out and get another one unless I fly to North Carolina again. It's from a store called Light Year's, which is an awesome little jewelry store. I went there for my cousin's graduation and found that store because of her. They have an online store, but that necklace is not in there nor is my ring. So I better not lose that again. Ugh. I will be so mad if I don't find it. I have looked everywhere.
