This morning I woke to the sound of shuffling footsteps and jingling of keys. I looked up to find my mom heading out the door. At 7 AM. Where in the world does she think she's going so early in the freakin' morning?! I sat there for I don't know how long in my bewildered not-yet-awake state. After I got over the weirdness of the whole thing, I decided to take advantage of the situation. My jailor was out and unable to threaten me with a softball bat. I could go online and nuTang, email, fanfiction, etc...! And I did, well, I started to. My mom opened the door just as I was starting to type this. What you're reading now is a continuation.

SO...my friend made me watch NANA after reading all the previous issues of Shojobeat. So I'd know what was going on. The timing was perfect because the last issue I read ended where the movie did. (Timing--Shojobeat comes out every month.) And now I love Mika Nakashima (Nana Oosaki). She's a great singer, not an actress, but she was good in the movie. Though I still can't believe they included the bathtub scenes from the manga...maybe it's just me. I haven't watched any Japanese movies/TV series in a while. Actually, I only watched the one my mother was interested in years ago. I believe it was called Beautiful Days.

Anyway, I bought NANA for myself afterwards...for two dollars! Nice. I found this place downtown. Basically they copy the originals and sell them really cheap. I won't say the store name (I can't remember anyway) because I'm pretty sure that's illegal...is it?

I'm only able to post this now because my mother was in a very deep phone conversation a minute ago. I don't think she knows I'm still typing away, but better safe than sorry.

I'm out!

Haha your mom sounds like a strict one! My parents have eased up on the whole computer thing...thankfully.

NANA? Lol, never heard of it. I might be half Chinese but I don't have much connection to the Asian community. I guess it's hard for me to interact when I look sooo white lol. I'd have to tell you I was Asian, because you'd never know if you saw me on the streets XD.

Well congrats on your cheapo find...lol, Kuri's on the run from the law =D.

I read the first volume of Nana. I got it from my friend, who heard of it because of the movie\'s theme songs. I like it a lot and I want to see the movie after I read more of the manga. They have an anime now too, don\'t they? Hah. =]

Wow that is illegal. O.O That store is taking a big risk. xp

Thanks! I live in the city, too, with no beach and ocean, so I have to look at tropical pics. *sigh* I love tropical stuff.

In reply...
Nah, that wasn't me jumping. My display pic is one of me though.

In regards to gymnastics, my soon-to-be team has found a really great place to practice...they teach gymnastics, but you have shoes and your ropes and everything. It's like a custom learning plan really. I think with 2 more practices I can get a back handspring and probably spotted back tuck. Very exciting! Gymnastics has always been my weak point...I don't know I guess it's a psychological thing. But hey, if I hit any rough spots I'll make sure you give you a holler :)
