I'm getting another cat, and hopefully my cat I have now and the new one will get along.
I've chosen a name for it; Yoshiki, after the pianist/drummer in X Japan.
But we're just going to call him Yoshi, so people can think that the name came from the dinosaur from the Super Mario games.
Of course I'm going to take a picture of Yoshi as soon as it gets here.
And that will be on this Saturday(!).
Unfortunately I won't be able to go to my friend's house when it's her birthday and everything, but I really have to make Yoshi feel safe for a while and can't go to another city and leave him behind.
I have to make up for that, and give her lots of presents and a beautiful card.

It's midnight and I'm so tired.
I can't sleep since I'm sending stuff to my friend, and that's going to take a lot of time.
Since I haven't written in a while, I decided to post a photo here for my photo class:
In our photo class we have to take photos that you can connect with a song of our own choice.
I chose Endless Rain with X Japan.
I thought this photo was perfect for the first verse from the song:
"I'M WALKING IN THE RAIN
yuku ate mo naku kizutsuita karada nurashi
karamitsuku koori no zawameki
koroshi tsuzukete samayou itsu made mo
UNTIL I CAN FORGET YOUR LOVE"
The translation of the lines between is this:
"though everything seems to be hurting me for some reason.
There is only nothing.
Just kill me now ... as I roam forever. "
Doesn't it fit well?

I'm finished reading The Bar Code Rebellion, It wasn't great nor as good as the prequel, but it was okay.
Now I can start reading another book, it's either XVI by Julia Karr or Battle Royale by Koushun Takami.
Or maybe I should pick another book, but the question is which?
Maybe I Am Number Four, The Hunger Games, The Lying Game, The Secret Year, some classic.
I really have no idea which I'm going to choose, it's too hard.
And one other thing, I haven't watched any Asian movie or drama in a long time.
What if I should watch some movies before I read something new?
Well, I really need to finish my A-Z Reading Challenge.
Haven't read so many books on that list.
Then again, which one?

Plot:
Jerusha Abbott is the oldest orphan at the John Grier Home and has to take care of the smaller children.
Her life isn't glorious at all, but one day she is sponsored by a man who want her to call him by the name "John Smith" and sends her to college.
The only thing he wants back is a letter every month to see how it goes for her and that she never will know who he is and he will never respond to her letters and he wants her to be an author.
Review:
I really liked this story, even though it took me sixteen days to finish the book.
Daddy long Legs is written mostly through letters that Judy is writing to her anonymous sponsor.
We get to know who she is as a person and how she evolves throughout the years of college.
I never understood how old she was at the beginning, but when the story ended she was 21 years old.
In her letters she writes mostly what happens in her life.
There's some school stuff in it as well, but mostly what she has read or about her friends and problems.
She once saw her sponsor's shadow, and his legs were just as long as the spider daddy long legs and that's when she knew it would be a perfect nickname instead of calling him Mr. Smith.
The text in the book made me confused sometimes.
For an example; the orphanage was called an asylum so I actually pictured a mental institution with screaming children instead of a regular orphanage in my head.
And the word queer showed up in a sentence that had a really funny meaning in it.
I don't remember the exact sentence, but it was something like this;
"The man was queer, but I think the men really enjoyed it"
I know it's not the word for gay in that sentence, but it really fit in really well.
In that sentence it's the word for "weird" in a nicer word.
Still funny.
It wasn't a great book, I mean the letters became pretty annoying after a while.
But I really liked the plot.
I've seen the cartoon based on this book and it was one of my favorites as a child.
That's the main reason why I read it to begin with.
This book deserves three stars.

That book have the same plot as The bar code tattoo.
I thought it would be about something different, but both is about the future and involves evil tattoos that everyone have to wear.
I think XVI might be better though.
Not only because the sequel of The bar code tattoo is boring, and XVI recently came out, but it seem to be more interesting.
I'm aware of that they might have the same plot, but XVI is promising.
Unfortunately I have to finish The bar code rebellion (the sequel of TBCT) before I can read it.
But maybe I should read something with a different plot at first?
So it won't be too much of the future tattoo drama all the time.
Maybe I should read a classic or The Hunger Games again.
Only time will tell.

Why does it have to be so hard to write a resume.
I knew that I chose the wrong education from the beginning.
Sure, I would be miserable if I'd chosen psychology, but at least I wouldn't have to try being someone I'm not.
I need to get a practice job for school, and it has to be something related to media.
But I really don't like news papers, magazines, TV, radio and whatever comes up.
I just want to help people in my surroundings, but no.
So now I have to almost lie on my resume and tell them that I'm dying to write an article, or something shallow as that.
I would rather go to an orphanage and take care of the children, volunteering at a senior home or taking care of the homeless.
But they won't let me.
I don't even know if I'm allowed to work at the Science Fiction Bookstore.
There is books, movies, magazines there, only that they are just selling it.
I don't know if that is an option.
I truly hope so though, it's the only place I actually want to have worked at without any meaning for others.
Since they have Asian stuff and of course, movies, I feel like home when I'm there.
Or I would like to work at some second hand store.
That would help other people, and it comes in lots of different stuff that you can't get anymore.
But I don't know if that's allowed either.
The funny part is that I don't even know what counts as media.
David tried to help me with the resume, and he did do a great job.
I understood that I was the only one who could write it, because I'm the one who knows me best.
That's just a fact.
But when I come to the future thoughts of what I'm aiming for in life and my career it's just blank.
I don't want anything to do with media, I think it's evil.
News papers always what to make up peoples minds in politics and every choices we think we're making up on our own.
And magazines just wants to print 5% of the truth and add 95% of bullshit.
How can I live with that?
It might just be work, but I don't want to participate in some kind of evil thing when I want to help others.
It doesn't help anybody.
Besides, I tried lying on the resume, that I would love writing articles and such, but I couldn't lie.
It just feels so wrong.
I can't lie in real life nor can I lie behind the computer.
I'm an honest person who can't change into something I'm not.
But what the hell should I do?
I'm finally home from school.
But I can't complain since the school started 1:50 PM and ended 4:30 PM.
I'm so so tired though, I think it's because I'm getting healthier, but shouldn't it be the opposite?
I just want to sleep.
Haha, I guess I'm not so much fun when I'm tired and don't even know what I'm writing.
Maybe in a few hours I'll post an entry, but we'll see.
I'm still not done with the Daddy Long Legs review.
And I've already started on a new book called The Bar Code Tattoo.
It seems good for now, but I've only read 12 pages so far.

Hi!
I'm finally finished with the Daddy Long Legs book.
For sixteen days I've been reading that book.
A review of the book will be posted tomorrow.
My friend made me healthier than before, so I'm tired in the evenings nowadays.
So I'm going to bed now.
Just wanted you to know I'm alive.
One more thing, I love running.
I feel free then.

It's been a long time since I felt this good.
I don't know if it was because of the yogurt Actimel I ate this morning, but I've felt healthy and happy and also very lucky.
It's a really good day, it started with Psychology A in school, and ended with Photographic image A.
And there's nothing in between.
Sweet.
Then I took the bus and went to the subway.
There I saw a sign that said the train was already on the platform, so I ran downstairs and ran the fastest I could in to the subway when the doors were closing.
I made it without hurting anyone and not hurting the door either.
It felt like a victory.
I'm ready for almost anything right now!

I have a hard time telling my parents that my friend is coming to me for a few days, and I need their permission to letting him stay at our place.
I'm living with my parents and my cat so I can't decide if he can stay or not.
But why is it so hard for me to ask my parents.
Maybe it's because I don't want them to ask too many questions.
And because I wouldn't know how to answer them.
But I realize that I have to ask them sooner or later, and sooner better than later.
Because if I wait too long, it will be too late.
Why does it have to be so hard?
I wish I was a mind reader, it would be so much easier sometimes.
The I would know for sure what I would answer.
And life would go on without me wondering about things.
I also could help people around me the way I want, and not saying all the wrong things that sounded right in my mind.

If life wasn't so complicated I would have an easier life.
True, and I would like life to be a little more easier.
Why does it have to be so hard then?
Right after I wrote what I wrote up there, I got a voucher from CDWOW, is it some kind of sign to not give up?
I really should stop thinking and go to sleep.

First of all I got an app so I could write here easily on my iPod from my friend.
It was some problems at first but now it's okay.
Second of all is that I feel much better now, but I cant't go to school until monday.
Feels like I'm missing alot.
Last thing is that I'm saying good night for now, I was just testing this.
