Minna san, Ohisashiburi!
Hey everyone, it has been a while.

Yes yes I know. It has been months since I have been on dA and I apologize. I have actually been in a pretty bad art funk but I think I am pulling out thankfully.

I am sorry for not telling you all about how things were going with Pitt. My first semester went wonderful. Japanese class= so much fun. I wish that summer would end so I could be back in ACT class. Microeconomics was a struggle but I got through it with almost an A. I also took Astronomy and English Comp which I did pretty well in.

All the students in my Japanese class and I became quick friends despite the fact that I came in a sememster late. The sensei were also fun (Oshimo sensei!!!) and I can't wait to see all of them again in the fall. Oneesan ( ~Oborodzuki ) introduced me to a friend of hers, a Filipino named Harold, who I ended up dating during the entire semester. DDD

So yeah, I am back. And I am going to try and make an effort to stay back. I have some new stuff I drew that I need to post. Like I said, I just haven't been happy with the art I have been producing lately. Hense why nothing is up. XDDD

Also right now my computer is broken DDD:
Yeah the screen isn't working... HP YOU FAIL!
Hopefully I will update more once I get it back

Talk to you all again soon!!

I am going to say it straight up.

2008 was a challenge and an emotional roller coaster. Through graduating and going off to school all of our lives have changed. We have had to refind our places, mature, and change.

This year was miserable. I had to overturn decisions and prove one of the most noteable institutions of education in the United states that they were wrong about me. I almost had a dream that I shared with a precious person taken away from me. And I almost lost the oppertunity to develope my language skills to their full potential at a place that I felt would benifit me the most.

But through all this garbage, I grew the most this year. I learned not to take things for granted and to know what it takes to have to truely prove yourself. I discovered that I actually do have an exterior beauty and that image is important. I also learned that I was never alone in this struggle. That there was always a sholder for me to cry on, a warm embrace, and help from the kindest of hearts. And most importantly the phrase that I have said over and over again- Never give up hope even when something seems bleak and hopeless- still continues to ring true for me.

Now I look to my future and tommorow I will be moving into Pitt. Everything I wanted waited and worked for is finally coming to be. And I promise to all of you who helped and believed in me I will not dissapoint you. I will show them all and I will be great.

I promise you that...

Happy 2009 to all that I love
Rock this year like you never have before
and don't forget to keep hoping, keep believing, and Keep Tryin'

~Liv

皆さん、こんにちわ！
お元気ですか。
すぐにクリスマスが来ますね！

Hey everyone!

I hope you are doing well and just wanted to check in with you all.

As for me, BC3 ends next week and I move to Pitt on January 2nd.
However I still don't know where I am living... those bumbs D:<

Moving on, I have been meeting with Japanese friend of mine more often and I have been able to practice! I really enjoy meeting with her.

Work is still good. I think my boss hates me now... I didn't say anything but I get that vibe you know? Oh well, what does it matter, January is a but a month away!

Also next Friday I am leaving for Arizona! Yep I have an old childhood friend who lives out there and she has been pestering me for sometime to go out and see her. She is taking me to see the grand canyon which will be cool!
And to top it off the weather will be WONDERFUL when I get there.

So I finally got my new w-inds. singles and I LOVE THEM!!!
I finally got to watch the CAN'T GET BACK PV and the Everyday PV also (since I decided to wait and watch them on my giant TV lol). The Everyday PV was so sweet and cute. Keita looked adorable and I was all idfhi;oaefjdiljae;dhfiadjf XDDDD (take a look for yourself---> [link])
The CAN'T GET BACK PV, even though the dancing was AMAZING and all three of them looked extremly SEXY (especially that part with their hands (*____*)) all I want to ask is WTF WAS UP WITH THAT CLOWN?!?!?!? WHAT IS THE SIGNIFIGANCE?!?! (CLOWN!!!---> [link])
But it is still sextastically (yay for making up words) amazing!
And w-inds.'s new songs are apperently doing very well in Japan. Yay them! (^____^)vv

I have also been playing Mirror's Edge and I am enjoying it. It is the first first player shooter game I have ever played. I just wish I knew what I was doing on the level I am on XD

and lol @ Vitas!!! XDDD
Want to know what I mean? Go look---> [link]
LOLOLOLOLOL WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! XD

So what does everyone want for Christmas?

皆さんこんいちは、

お元気ですか。十月になるのは本当に寒くなりました。かぜをひかないようにしてください。
BC3の大学はいいですけれでも、私はまだ一月になるように願っています。
それと、仕事で僚友のことを好きになりました。なかなか困りますね。僚友のほうが私より年上です。馬鹿で恥ずかしくて悪いことが分かっても、気持ちを否定できませんよ。
一月に大学に行ってあまり会いません。その時にこの思いを多分消します。
…でも、一つのデートぐらいはいいと思います。

Hey guys!

How have you all been at school? It has gotten cold fast and I don't like it. XD

With two months to go, I have started receiving information from Pitt about living arrangements, food plans, and classes. Finally, January feels a bit closer. I also got approval from the Japanese sensei at Pitt to start in Japanese 1 part 2 when I get there which makes me very happy.
It is like I didn't miss a beat.
Things really did work themselves out, didn't they? (^_^)

From the BC3 side, things are going really well. I have excellent grades in all of my classes (even Business Calc!). The business calculus night classes are difficult to get through but I make it somehow lol.

I have been playing soccer too on Sundays on a randomly formed team. It is shocking how well we do for how much we goof off. Hopefully they will have an indoor team and then I can play on that. If not, tomorrow will probably be the last formal game I ever play.

Work has been... well interesting to say the least. Especially when you have a crush on one of your co-workers (who happens to be your manager) that is a whole decade older than you. D:
It is stupid, silly, and wrong but I can't help it. Not to mention I am leaving for school in two months and I won't even see him. I hope that being at school will make those feelings will disappear.
Even with that said, one date would be nice.
Ugh, I am desprate. It shouldn't have to be this way...

On a random note, my picture, Beautiful World (as seen here ---> [link]), has reached 500+ views. (^_^)vv I feel very proud!

w-inds.'s new single is out November 26! I am looking forward to it, being that this will be the first time their PV is coming with the single!!!! :[]vv

BARACK OBAMA *says in voice* won the election.
Many of you who know me probably knew I didn't vote for him.
We will see what happens now...

Will you vote?! XDD;;
My sister,

皆さん、
こんにちは！お久しぶりですね。お元気ですか。
大学は楽しいいですけど、一月になるのように願っていますよ。
一月なら、私の本当の大学にいます。
それで、毎日日本語で話します。

Hi everyone!

Wow it has been forever since I updated so I figured I should and let you all know I am not dead.

Anyways, school is going well, being that I am a college student and all now. My classes are not too bad, aside from my 3 HOUR BUSINESS CALC CLASS on Wednesday D:. Intro to Art, Early U.S. History, and Psyc are not as bad lol. My U.S. history teacher is one of the strangest but most interesting people I have ever met. With that I have also been going up to CMU every now and then to take Japanese lessons with my teacher. I cherish thoes two hours when I get to speak only Japanese. I love it.

Speaking of which, I really want it to be January. Like now. I am tired of being here. I want to be studying Japanese everyday at Pitt.
And there are other things that I want to experience and I feel bitter because I have to wait.
I am sorry to complain,~Oborodzuki.
Not to meniton now that since Phillip (our exchange student) came my sister and I have been sharing a room and it is causing us to fight more (and most of you know how I hate to fight with her).

Ok now that that is out, many of you know that I have been working at McGinnis Sisters. That is is a good time. If you ever get the chance, come visit me in the Deli!

Art wise yes I need to post
BAD

So how have things been in hunky dory Mars?

My sister,
