I should be studying, but I've been in class all day and this is my only break, so I'm going to use it. Anyways, tomorrow is YOUMACON!!!! And that means I'll finally get to wear the outfit I've been working on (periodically) since last December!!! Sooooo much planning... but why do I have to be sick??? I tried to get a doctor's appointment for my slightly sore throat, however I can't get one until Monday! O_o Well, I didn't want to go to that clinic anyways! >_< So, I'm going with the old-fashion cure. Staying positive! (though that's hard to do when reading war novels and such). Oh well! Tomorrow is going to be awesome!!!! I'm headed off to the convention around 3 tomorrow with ~messbelongstocats and ~Ake-Mododa. I'm looking forward to seeing all of my other friends from high school and last year too!

Okay, the main reason I wrote this: tag from well, it's one I asked for.

Rules: Just put ‘Words’ in your comment and I will give you 5 words that I think describe you. Then you post this in your own journal with explaining what these words mean to you.

Ellen gave me these: (If you want to give me words as well, go ahead, I'll reply in the comments with them)

1. Tales of Symphonia: Not exactly one word. I'm going to shorten it to Symphonia. Symphonia was the first tales game I played and also how I met Ellen on DA. I found a scan from the manga she colored in of Kratos. I also have played that game so many times through and I love it dearly. Of any anime/game character I get compared to, Raine takes the cake. RUINS? WHERE?! Also, my trio for orchestra played through it with me and we even had shirts I made of it!

2. Kendo If you haven't heard me blab about that, you haven't been around much. Kendo became a big part of my life last year when I joined the club. This year I'm an officer, but I haven't been to practice in almost two months because I got sick... with mono... (no side-effects, just at risk of spleen damage). So many good things have come from that regardless of how much physical damage I've taken. My first week, I got an infection on my foot and had to hobble around campus for the next week. A year ago, yesterday, in fact, I failed to guard properly and had a semi-black eye at youmacon. My friends are mostly from kendo, the two I'm going to youma with I met in kendo, well, Marion, I met at AOP, but we wouldn't be friends if not for kendo, I think. Oh, and I've always got blisters on my feet from practice when I go. I'm allowed to go back now, but alas, sick again... *sigh*

3. Therain. The ironic name of a character in my story The Red Cloak. No, I didn't realize the irony at the time... as his name was just letters I threw together. I'm not going to say how it's ironic, just because I don't like to spoil stuff. Oh, and he's Gen-san's favorite character... or at least was when I first wrote it.

4. Nine. I JUST figured out why you gave me this one, Ellen. Nine. It's part of my name. But beyond that it's not much more than a number... number of sides of a nonagon, number of carbons in a nonane, Flourine's atomic number, the season of Bleach I stopped after, number of weeks I've been in school, in nine hours I'll be asleep, number of months that I've known ~Ake-Mododa. Other than that, it's just a number. Divisible by 3.

5. Airi. Short for Airumel. Also my OC's name in my Bleach fan-fic. Poor Airi... soooo much irony in that story. Other than that well... Airi isn't my real name. Really. I have a very common name. That's why I like to make up names or find really unusual ones since I see another girl with my name every day. (Well, one does live across the hall).

So, that's it... see you at Youmacon if you're going! Look for the odd person with the purse handle shoved in her hair!

P.S. R3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
