Congratulations to the University of Florida for winning a second NCAA basketball championship in a row….and against Ohio State University, no less.
I do feel somewhat bad for Ohio State…Someone from my school will probably hurt me for my sympathy.
Watching the UF basketball team play was quite something. There is such an air of cohesiveness about them. My roommate commented that when you win a championship the first time, it’s probably good athletics mixed with a lot of luck. But when you win two times in a row, you know that those guys are some real athletes and a darn good team.
So here’s to you, boys of the University of Florida basketball team. You really earned this one.

Perhaps one of the worst feelings in the world is to be afraid of your own home. Last night, around 1AM, while sitting in my usual spot of my living room sofa, just doing the usual work, I hear this knock come from the patio window/door. A knock at the patio is not unusual as oftentimes one of my roommates will run outside without a key and then need a way back in.
However, when I turned to look, it was not one of my roommates or anyone that I knew, but a guy, covering his face with his lifted shirt, and trousers dropped, wagging his penis at me through the window. I turned away and ignored him while he stayed there for at least., just wagging away, another minute before walking away. I was too scared to pick up the phone to call the police or wake up my very burly roommate. I didn’t want to move lest I provoke him to do anything.
But the image in the corner of my eye of a guy standing right up against my window and waving his appendage at me was enough to rattle me for the entire night and still into today. I couldn’t move from that spot on the sofa or look towards the window for at least fifteen minutes after he walked away, and didn’t even walk towards that same wall where my computer was plugged into to unplug it for fear that he was still lurking nearby. Instead, I yanked the cord from where I sat.
I couldn’t sleep, but must have dozed off at some point because I woke up late for my class. As I walked out my front door and towards the apartment complex office to report the incident, any male that I saw whether or not they resembled the - erm- “attacker” (I guess), I felt a small tremor of nervousness. The guy could be almost anyone I run into today or tomorrow or the day after that.
These kinds of people make me so negative about humanity. I am comforted by the thought that I have kind and caring male friends with whom I feel so utterly and completely safe around. But if they can’t keep the fear from striking, still, when the incident happens and they aren’t there.  When something like this happens to you alone, the feeling of alone-ness is so strongly prevalent that, as a friend of mine who has gone through something similiar said, “…you feel embarrassed almost.”
Despite the overwhelming support I’ve gotten from people that I’ve told about this, and the strangely humourous reactions some people have suggested to me, I still feel this odd fear of going home. It it more than possible that this incident was purely random, there’s also that possibility that the person will come back. What kind of sick person does something like this?
Well, even though pretty much all of you that read this blog are guys, I think that it’s important that everyone is aware that there ARE people out there that do fracked up things like this and that they have to be stopped. Tell your friends: it’s not funny - it’s sick and full grounds for getting your precious package stamped on by the entire female population of this planet.

University of Florida FTW! YAAAAY!!!!
Okey. So I totally gave away my location there. But it’s worth it. For once, I am feeling the slightest hint of an overall-school (meaning all of the university, not just the music school) pride.
There was this excitement in the air ALL DAY and I couldn’t get my brain to wrap around the possibility of us winning, but we freaking trampled them and it was amazing.
People were setting off fireworks for every touchdown/score, but they didn’t set any off for the last two scores. My roommate thinks that they ran out because they didn’t expect such a high score.
What a “Cinderella story” eh?
Totally exciting night, even if I was watching the game by myself for the entire first three quarters.
School people just might be super crazy for a while…
Part of me wished I’d was partied and joined in on all the craziness all over Gainesville…but most of me is okey with the calm quiet and observant night I had.
What is it about sports that makes it so unifying?

As you can see, got a custom banner up. It looks a lot prettier than I expected it to turn out so I’m rather pleased with the outcome. Image from Yukiru Sugisaki’s Megami Kohousei.

Title’s slightly inappropriate given the surprise I received upon discovering that my site was…different than when I’d last left it. Did someone hack? Hmm….
Well, the theme’s been changed and some things shuffled around. I’m liking this new setup. So I shall leave it for a bit until I can create a nice banner of my own.
I have been in this coffee shop wrangling life for far too long. I can feel the wrath of the baristas settling upon me. Must dash. kya~~
By the way, the music for the upcoming Ragnarok Online II, in case you haven’t heard yet, is written by Yoko Kanno and it is beautiful. Abso-damn-lutely beautiful. *squee*
I shall post a sample or two forthcoming.

I think that Heaven has a library which houses all materials that ever were, are, and shall be. That way, if you die before you get to read the end of the Harry Potter series, you’ll still get to know what happens.

Change is an amazing thing.
Best wishes for a happy and healthy and wonderfully awesome new year!

Why is everyone’s attitude in classical music and film just so (no other word sorry) shitty? When I read other people’s comments on a performance or film, SOMEONE has to be the black dog and just gripe, whine, and basically shoot down everything around them.
Is this fun? To me, if these people are trying to be fashionably pessimistic, their words aren’t so much pessimistic than immature. Or are we all really just that arty-snooty these days? When did the respect for others’ opinions die?

There’s no reason for all the God/higher being thoughts lately…they’ve just felt profound.
Today, I have decided that who/whatever’s up there must have a sense of humour.
The thought is nice.
A lot of traveling lately has put me far behind on weblife. I’ll get back to you all someday soon, but not really before finals, I don’t think.
miss you all ^_^
