Wheeeeeeeee!!!!!! couldn't BUT help to see this video. I heart this song! (x ten!!!) ;D here are the lyrics to it in japanese and english...


Japanese

Toki no mukou kaze no machi he
Nee tsureteitte
Shiroi hana no yume kanaete

Amai yubi de kono te wo tori
Nee tooi michi wo
Michibiite hoshi no anata no soba he

Sono utagoe taenai hirusagari
Mezamette futari wa hitotsu ni nari
Shiawase no imi wo
Hajimette shiru no deshou tsuretteitte

Sono utagoe setsunaku takaraka ni
Subete no kokoro ni hibiku no deshou
Shiawase no imi wo
Shirezu ni nemuru yoru ni

Mada shiranai yume no mukou
Nee tooi michi wo
Futari de yukeru wa
Kaze no machi he....

english

Please, take me to the town of wind
On the other side of time
Please, grant the wish
Of my pure white flower

Grab me by the hand with your gentle fingers
And take me far away
Guide me to your world
So I can be with you

Without even a whisper of your song on this fateful afternoon
Two lovers awake to become one
For the first time, they'll learn what true happiness is
Take me away

Your singing voice resounds
All through my heart loudly and sadly
On a night where I sleep without knowing the meaning of happiness


[chorus]

Together, we can go
The great distance
Beyond a dream I don't know yet
To the town of wind

((please tell me if I translated wrong... ))

[India Nightingale]

Have you watched the anime/read the manga, Rosaliz? Yes, the song is amazing. Thanks for translating it. I think it's correct, but I wouldn't know. My Japanese vocab is limited. Can you read Japanese?

Wednesday, 17th September 2008:
- Got a good night's sleep! Hooray!
- Peer support: unresponsive class, did register, volunteered to help with charity work.
- General Studies: booooring.
- Free period: checked 4Houses, posted list of to-dos, chatted with Izy.
- Eng Lit: said not a single word in the entire class as we did more war poetry.
- Lunch: chicken burgers are nice; badminton club, very fun.
- Psychology: almost went to history, normal lesson.
- History: normal lesson, a bit dull tbh.
- Home tiiime: online rounds.
- 4Houses: posted Seth!
- Dinner: the usual; parents rushed off to Ken's school for a meeting.
- 4Houses: did a difficult owl; waiting for the shower so I can wash my hair.

*eyes homework warily* Blah. Blah blah blah. You are evil and I shall not look at you until I have had my shower. And then at 9 p.m. I'm watching 'Lost in Austen'. Yush.

[Ivy Tunstall]

Yey I have finished my late Maths homework and have done all my homework for tomorrow! So now I can work on my Philsoc talk - phew.

[Ariane Chan]

So what is this talk about, Izy? Will Emma and I be bored as we catch the first ten, fifteen minutes of it? ;D

[Celia Richmond]

Today's been...well, I'm not sure really. I was about to say uneventful, but thinking about it that's not particularly the case haha. Well, I got up 15 minultes late, landing me with only 15 minutes or so to get ready for school, or I'd miss my bus. I guess I could've taken longer and gotten a later bus, but a) I have no idea how much later that bus would've been, b) hence I may've been late for school, and c) I intended to do homework when I got in. Well, I did manage to get the bus I normally get (having crossed the road 3 times-I forgot to post this letter) and got into school as normal, and did some Chemistry. Then as Viv said, our peer support form was unresponsive (but yr 11s, you can't really expect much else!).

Biology was...meh. Gave my absolutely rubbish presentation about Genome, finally. Then at break I realised that my results for the OU course I did in the summer should be out today, so I checked, to find I'd passed, and pretty well (hard to explain), so I was happy . Maths...well, was quite good I thought . THough I have a feeling that A2 is gonna be a lot more disasterous than AS =). Lunch...was unhealthy (as Viv said, chicken burger and chips, followed by a cookie. Not a really huge one though unfortunately) but not much else happened, apart from putting up posters and being taught The Entertainer on the Piano, by our very own Izy .

This afternoon...Chemistry was very useful for the homework, although we didn't do much new stuff (and my group is behind as it is =)). My teacher was pleased about me passing my OU course. After chem I had a free, where I basically just sat chatting to Ting, as usual, and then general studies...urgh. I can think of another word beginning with S that's probably more appropriate, but I shan't say it here-I doubt it's PG-13, and I bet it'd be censored anyway.

This evening...got home to find that my bus pass has finally arrived . Then basically stayed online till dinner and a while after, did today's maths homework and I'm at present having a break from the chemistry homework that I've mentioned earler, which is now a lot easier, after today's lesson. Seriously, Chemistry and Maths are taking over my life!!

Ah well, I doubt tomorrow will be as eventful. Full day, not including general studies, argh! Ah well, all my teachers are good which partly makes up for it. Although I'm happy with all but one of my teacher's this year. I think Izy (and probably Viv) should know which teacher that is.

Right, that's all I have to report. Now I'd better go and finish that Chemistry and maybe start on the other chemistry work I have, or maybe maths. Although I am tempted to stay online for the rest of the evening =). Ahh, I must cut down on my online time =).

Yes I love anime and who doesn't watch know manga!?? And yes I can read Japanese

[Ariane Chan]

Wow wow wow. HOW?! *envies you*

[Seth Wright]

- Oh gosh. Boring assembly. Amazing Christian song played at the end, though, with fantastic harmonies. *mental note: find sheetmusic*
- Psychology: the usual.
- Free period: printed off pictures of good looking guys such as the avatars of my boys, as well as photos of me and friends/Ken, to stick on my locker, because I was bored and felt like decorating.
- General Studies: kill me now. I hate Miss Browning.
- Heard Eng Lit remarks came back awfully. Some people's marks went down. Impossible. Impossible.
- Lunch: bought shiny purple nail varnish for charity. Filled in tracker cards; Dr Madden is so nice, I still wish I had her even though I hate biology. Bridge club - lots of people! And I won a game (with Emma)! Painted Kat's nails spontaneously.
- English Lit: read and studied Goody Blake and Harry Gill by Wordsworth. My attention span was short and I started writing a post for a charrie of mine called Tyler.
- Was to have driving lesson, so rushed out of school, only to find no teacher and no car. Found a missed call and voice mail on my phone, so checked and discovered my teacher's car had broken down and wouldn't be having a lesson. Disappointment!
- Free periods: first half an hour I cut out those printed pics, cut them up and stuck them onto my locker, much to the horror of Izy. Second half I checked 4Houses, as usual. I started Seth's plot thread.
- Went home and... did nada. Oh, yeah. I finished Seth's plot thread. Watched some TV before that. Then dinner. Mock The Week. Online again. Staff/owl stuff. Haven't done a single thing tonight when I should've. I really hate myself and my lack of discipline. And now I need to shower and sleep. I still have unfinished homework for tomorrow. No. No no nooooo.

[Celia Richmond]

Not much to report really...unless you want me to rant about how confusing guys are =). Well, not confusing as such...but whatever. Shall briefly explain later.

Anyway, this morning I phoned a friend of mine who's birthday it is today...but didnt get through. He phoned back about 10 mins later though, so we had a brief chat. Chemistry was...meh. I'm starting to realise why people say Dr M isn't a good teacher (despite her managing to get me through 6 years of Chemistry thus far, with the help of 2 awful teachers), but still. Break...not much, apart from having to see a bio teacher about coursework (argh). Bio was alright, though was falling asleep by the end.

Lunch...didn't do much. Filled in tracker cards (so I'm now offically not resitting anything in January...eep), and as Viv said had my nails painted =). And most of the paint (is that what you call it?) is still there . Maths...was alright, though I was seriously tired afterwards, so went to the common room to get a cup of coffee, but THERE WAS NONE!! ARGH!! So I made do without. Then Further Maths, which was...alright.

Got home eventually, and talked to the guy who's bday it is today for a while...which was pretty thought provoking. And left me pretty confused...or rather not knowing what to think (and him probably even more confused-guys will never in 100,000,000 years understands girls' minds). But I think I've sorted out my mind with regards to that so...yeah. But he's not been online since so haven't had the chance to tell him =). Aaaaaand with that I think I've probably said too much so I'm gonna leave it there.

Since then I've had dinner (actually, I had dinner in the middle of that conversation I think...), been online, done some maths homework, watched Mock the Week (not a brilliant episode today, I must admit), had a shower and now I'm back. But yeah...today's been both tiring and odd =).

[Ivy Tunstall]

Kathryn, should I put lots of coffee at the bottom of the Kit Kat mug I keep a store of teabags in for us? That way you can have coffee even when the Common Room stores have run out as well.

[Celia Richmond]

Haha, thanks for the offer but I don't think that'd be necessary =). There is usually coffee around, just the one time I NEEDED a cup of coffee there wasn't any. Ah well, hopefully the big tub they have now will still be there next week if necessary. And if not I should be ok without.

Wow wow wow. HOW?! *envies you*

you're making me blush....thanks...

How did I learn it?? My I spent a few mths in Japan... ( I pick up langauges pretty quickly) and when I came back to America my friend (who is Japanese) helped taught me what I didn't know....I practice speaking it with her on a regular basis.

[Ariane Chan]

Rosaliz: Wow! Man. I wish someone would give me Japanese lessons.


I have had... such a stressful week. It was a normal week, tbh, and yet stressful at the same time. And right now I just feel dizzy and tired and I want more sleep. Bleugh.

I'm going to take myself off vacation, but it won't guarantee any better activity, because this week might be worst than the last, lol. But I'll do my best to continue posting. At least Theo is still coming easy to me; the plot and inspiration for him helps. Theo was nagging me just because I took so long getting to him. I promise, though, Izy, that after Theo and Oscar's post, Ari's comes next. I'm just finding it hard. She's here, but like India she's difficult to post in that despite having some inspiration, both of them are such isolated, cold people, and this makes it harder to post them. Then again, they also like their fair share of attention, lol.

I have... an English lit essay. Or is that two? Two history essays. Psychology coursework. Books to read. BAH. So much work. But at least for this weekend the personal statement will not need any worrying over.

[Oscar Flynn G7]

Just thought I'd give an update. xD
I had a really busy week so many apologies to all the people I post with, I haven't been able to get the time to reply.
Met my art deadline with about two seconds to spare; was literally sticking down the evaluation with the sketchbook in the examiner's hands. XDD Oops. But luckily I didn't miss it.

Other deadlines; we've been told to do another science GCSE, I chose biology. Have to investigate Osmosis, yawn. =/
Then there's English. Should have started on my essay about Henry James' Turn of the Screw... haven't. Oops.
I've completely redecorated my room for viewers (we're selling. :0) and i t looks great, although the smell of paint is overwhelming still. =/

Uhmm... my sister went off to university. (: We don't get on that well but I do miss her. My other sister passed her driving test yesterday, which means I have another taxi if I want a lift places- wahay.

Some bad news; found out yesterday a boy that I went to primary school with had a heart attack on Thursday and died. He's just the year above me and seventeen. Although I didn't know him well, we met up a few times in the last year and it's always a massive shock when someone so young and active dies. His family are so brilliant, as was he, it's incredibly upsetting. I still can't believe it.

This week I don't have any deadlines, thank god. But I'm working on clearing out my room some more, ach. Hopefully I should be able to reply to the posts I owe tomorrow and in the week. (:

[Ivy Tunstall]

My provisional driving licence arrived today! The picture looks even more awful in black and white.

Did the osmosis experiment involve coring potatoes by any chance? Or perhaps parsnips? Or carrots? I doubt you can have as much to complain about as myself and Kathryn... this will be an ISA or whatever other name-sake of a tax-free bank account that you do several of, right? In the good ol' days of two years ago, we only did one piece of GCSE coursework for each science subject... and our coursework for biology involved coring potatoes and writing about osmosis for about two months (at least it felt like, probably was two months as well). The advantage of such protracted misery is that you can answer exam questions on osmosis in your sleep. However, just in case we hadn't had enough of it the first time round, we repeated virtually the same experiment, with potatoes, plus, to make it much more exciting, parsnips and carrots, using a slightly more precise terminology and adding in a miniscule amount more difficulty. [/rant] Anyway, hopefully it won't be too bad?

I also miss my sister, and she's been at university for two years already. But I hope that it will be better for you as you should get to see your sister sometime soon? Or go and visit her. I haven't seen my sister since she left. I'm sorry to hear about your old friend - it is a huge jolt from reality when young people die and really upsetting.

Good luck with your deadlines.

[Celia Richmond]

Hmmm, not posted here in a while =).

Anyway, yay about the provisional license Izy . Which reminds me, I need to sort out driving again :S. As I said to...someone (can't remember who now) the other day, given that it's so long since my last lesson I've probably already lost any skill I originally had, but whatever.

And urgh, don't remind me about that bio coursework =). Especially as I still haven't quite finished the A2 stuff, meh. Gonna get that all done tomorrow hopefully-hoping to see Mrs S about it on Monday, and hand it in on Wednesday, if not then.

Aaaaanyway, in other news this week's not been too bad. Finally got my UCAS form sent off and received my SAQ today . So spent some time this morning/afternoon completing it. Also got an e-mail of acknowledgement (meh, I'll never be able to spell that...) from one of my other universities...but not heard from the other 3 yet.

Oooo, and I got my founders' day outfit today . Basically a purple skirt, purple/white striped blouse and black heels. Yes, heels =). Despite needing them (being so short) they're a novelty. Meh, it's midnight-ish, don't be surprised if I don't make much sense.

I was just about to say that I've had relatively little work this week...then realised I still have maths coursework to do tomorrow, as well as that bio coursework (not gonna do much with that though), chem homework to finish off, and just remembered magazine =). If I can find an interesting thing to write about, That won't take *too* long though.

And as Izy said, good luck with those deadlines . And sorry to hear about that boy from your primary school . It really is a shame when such young people die .

I should probably get to bed now...meh, both of the MSN convos I have open at present are pretty much dead, unfortunately. I was half expecting at least one of them to start flashing then, but alas no.
Aha, another one with both those people's been opened. Guess I can't go to bed yet. Ah well, not complaining .

[Ariane Chan]

*huggles Astrid* I'm so sorry to hear about that friend of yours.

Personally... I'm exhausted. My period is making my body ache all over, and I cba working. Facebook is quite addictive, but not too addictive. Izy, I sent you Scrawl stuff.

My dad's not going to be here for Founders' Day... FFS. I mean... seven years; seven years, the one year he can't frickin' come is my year. How ironic the one he made it to is the first one. I just... I wanted him to be there. I really did. I'm just so irritated with my grandparents, even though it's not their fault. I never asked them to love me more than my brother, or show me any attention, or treat me better, but they still have to do stupid things that upset me like preventing my dad from coming to my Founders' Day, and splitting my family holidays and so on. Is it too much to ask? The one day I want my dad to be there they get in the way.

But anyway... I'm sorry. I sound aefully bitter. I'm angry too, but I'm so drained I have no energy to be angry. I just want to see my dad and I really miss him.

[Ivy Tunstall]

I finally got my SAQ as well, which means that UCAS finally have got their act together and processed my application.

Also then... I have an interview at York (Chemistry) during half-term!!! And the email came with this paragraph:

'Therefore, at this stage in the UCAS admissions season, we only consider applications from students who, on the basis of the information on their UCAS forms, definitely appear tobe capable of making a success of a degree course. I am pleased to saythat you come in this category, and for this reason I can also tell youthat once you have visited York for your interview we can guarantee thatyou will receive an offer of a place. I cannot predict exactly whatgrades we shall ask you to achieve, since these are, to some extent, determined by the interview.'

*bounce*

[Celia Richmond]

Yay, congrats Izy . Unless they've e-mailed in the last half hour or so, I still haven't heard anything from Leeds, Bath or Durham. Apparently Durham give offers relatively late...like, march :S. I hope I don't get interviews from anywhere other than Cambridge...especially UEA-it's an awful place to get to =). Meh, I just hate interviews.

And sorry to hear that Viv . Through being either ill or away my dad's missed most Founders' days (think the last one he went to was Upper 4th, or maybe lower 5th?), but at least he's here for this one. I can really understand why you're upset .

Anyway, I've spent quite a bit of time this afternoon working on maths coursework, and still have a feeling it's rubbish. At least I know if I get full marks that's 20 UMS in the bag. And now I'm gonna decide what to write for Scrawl and, umm, write =).
