A 'Stitches' from Animal Crossing Coin Purse
It’s so easy to make me happy, espcially when my best friend buys me a coin purse totally out of the blue. and I mean it’s no where near my birthday, a holiday, or Christmas (yes, in my book christmas is vacation, not a holiday, no it’s not supposed to make sense).
So, the story goes, they had Animal Crossing for the game cube, the game cube got sent to a magical Heaven for dead machinery, then they couldn’t play the game anymore. so her little sister got it for her DS and that’s where it ends there.
Meanwhile (AKA years later) I’m looking to get a Pikachu stylis, my mom being my mom said, “NOOO I’LL BUY YOU ANYTHING TO NOT BUY THAT STYLIS!!” So, I was like, ‘hmmm I’ve heard of animal crossing before, let’s go with that’ and so we did. We went in for a $10 stylis and end up with a $60 game instead, it truly is the story of my life, and to add, my mom’s money-not mine (SCORE!). Haha, So I set it up and Stitches is one of my first characters, I get attached, I get his portrait and it’s all great.
By now I’ve gotten my friend re-interested in the game and she trades one of her games to get her sister’s game, so now she owns the game. She’s weeding and taking care of the land her sister forgot (which reminds me, I need to check up on my nintendogs-oops) and she comes visits…. a month or so later (or maybe it was a week later, I don’t know) Stitches leaves… family problems, he needs a 24hr buffet, and something about hitting the unforseen road ahead. Either way I didn’t see it coming and he left. . . at least I had his portrait.
My friend comes up to me and shows it to me, and me being me “OMG THAT’S SOOO CUUUUTTTEEE” and she goes “It’s for you, I have one for me, and I got a Peanut (the pink squirrel) for my cousin” She was at big lots and saw them, bless her heart (HA XD I sound old). It’s not really a coin purse though, ’cause it fits my ipod, cellphone, DS charger, and money… so… yeah… I have a coin purse that has sanrio characters on it… and it really is a coin purse, it only fits coins… and rolls up dollars. I can’t find a picture, but it has Hello Kitty, Charmy Cat, ChocoCat, Cinnomoroll, Chai Chai Monchan, Keroppi Hasunoue, Pochacco, Pekkle, and a couple others, I don’t have it in front of me, so what I know is from memory.
A 'Peanut' from Animal Crossing Coin Purse
I got a bunch of paint brushes for my photoshop and entered a wallpaper contest… I hope I do well. I really am not using them, I used like 3 brushes once in noe and I think it’s really good, it’s for Yoshizawa Hitomi and it’s like photographs, it’s kinda plain, but I think it had to be, because it still looks really nice and I think any more would’ve been too crowded. I’ll post them up after the contest ends… which is… early oktober-ish, gomen. But I don’t want to post and then have them think I stole it, I know I could explain and all ,but it’s just easier to avoid it all at once… but this ist really just me being über lazy und paranoid.
I’m just nervous, because the last contest was a tie, so they had to go to see who posted more, and of course I just signed up so well obviously i wasn’t the one who had the most posts, and it really made me unhappy. I mean seriously, losing because of THAT! Of ALL things, POSTING! UGH! So I’m posting as much as possible without being (too) obnoxious. It’s kinda hard though, it’s not exactly active, I mean I have a H!P guild on Gaia and It’s hard keeping up, I love it though, there’s ALWAYS something to talk about, and no matter where the conversation started it seems to always end up on food.
I was bored, and felt compelled to blog something, so here’s a little Olivia Lufkin
Olivia is set to release a new mini album, “Trinka Trinka”, on September 17th.The mini-album features a new song called “RAIN”, which is being used as the new ending theme to K-tai Investigator 7, as well five previously unheard tracks. The album will not, however, feature the highly anticipated song “Real Love” which was premiered during her concert in Paris.~ taken from wiki
Olivia Lufkin Picture
This girl is amazing, I adore her vocals, her lyrics, and the scores are always amazing.
My current 3 favorite songs of hers:
a little pain – 163 plays
Celestial Delinquent – 130 plays
Space Halo – 127 plays
Mind you, this was after my itunes ate the information, so this has been over 2 weeks, the numbers were higher… oh well.
a little pain (english translation taken from songmeanings.net)
Travel to the moon
You’re asleep, as you work out your dreams
There’s no one here
While the light of the stars toys with me
In order to become strong
I have to remember how to smile
If we’re together, I can do it
Realize that…
I’m here waiting for you
Even if the future is different from now
I’m here waiting for you
I keep on shouting
I’m sure all I have to do
Is pull in the thread that connects our hearts
So the person I was back then
Would open her eyes
No need to cry
*my comments*I absolutely love this part. It’s self realization, she knows she’s changed, but she wants it to be the way it was back then. She’s persevering, and trying to pull on the thread, and in Japanese culture there is a belief that everyone is connected to their lover by a red string, so that’s the thread.
Travel in silence
I can reach you if I stretch out my hands
The only memory I have of you
Is so far away
I can hear your voice
If I close my eyes
Even a little pain
Would be nice
*my comments*The “even a little pain would be nice” reminds me of that Linkin Park song “numb” ‘I’ve become so numb, I can’t feel you there, and become so tired so much more aware’ Which could go back to the paragraph before it where she says she can reach him if she stretches out her hands, but he’s so far away, almost like giving up, or being tired perhaps?
Look at me
I’m here waiting for you
Even if you get lost, blown away by the wind
I’m here waiting for you
I look up at the sky
I was protecting my heart
With outstretched hands
Until the person you were back then
Looked back
No need to cry
*my comments*I love this paragraph as well, it’s a bit of ‘against all odds’ kind of thing. Hoping for him to return to the person she fell in love with.
(Feel something, feel nothing
Listen closely, listen closely)
Wide open ears
Disarm the dream tickler
In the constant moment
(You will find me where it’s quiet
Listen closely, listen closely)
Let the blood flow
Through all the spaces
Of the universe
Realize that…
I’m here waiting for you
Even if the future is different from now
I’m here waiting for you
I keep on shouting
I’m sure all I have to do
Is pull in the thread that connects our hearts
So the person I was back then
Would open her eyes
No need to cry
*my comments, overall* It’s just an amazing song, I love it so much, it blows me away. The music is amazing, the vocals are amazing, the lyrics are amazing.
Olivia Lufkin in a white dress
Celestial Delinquent
You live in a home
with running water,
air conditioner and T.V.
you have nothing to give
you have nothing to say
so you sing-a-ling-a-long
everything is alright
how can one person change the world?
i have to pay my bills
i gotta go to work
the earth is dying
i am so ashamed
we are all to blame
we must raise humane consciousness
i want to be up high up with the sun
disappear completely into love
i want to be up high up where i can
see the secret roads
all you selfish people
who think of nothing but money,
realize how angry and stressed
you are all the time
when you’re angry you only see things
from a bad angle
that’s why you are going crazy
that why you feel like shit
you’ll never find true happiness
in this state of mind
i want to be up high up with the sun
disappear completely into love
i want to be up high up where i can
see the secret roads
what’s most important is
where we were born, where we grow,
where we live
without the earth we are extinct
instead of finding ways to live on other planets,
we have to find a way to live on our own
instead of spending so much money on sending space shuttles into space and making weapons for war,
why don’t we use if for making solar electricity, homes, cars, appliances
someone is going to have to give in
somebody is going to lose money
we can’t be greedy
we can’t be lazy
we have to learn to give and help each other
and rise above this world we created
rise above fear
we need to share to save the human race
take the human race into a higher vibration
i want to be up high up with the sun
disappear completely into love
i want to be up high up where i can
see the secret roads
*my comments, overall* I’m not going to go this piece by piece, but it’s a nice reminder that we can be free from the selfishness of the human world if we reconnect to the earth and start caring for it. If we could just take a minute and slow down we could not only save the earth (by finding more efficient ways to do things) but also in order to help out our own stress. Instead, we’re so centered around what we thing should be daily life and what we thinkk are necessities, when in reality, we don’t need them. I’m a perfect example of things I think I need, but actually know I really don’t. Example: my camera, my cellphone, my DS, my iPod, my computer. Though it’s really hard to see just what EXACTLY we need, because society tells us we need these things. What I mean is, I can’t get rid of my computer, because the teachers in my school don’t give credit to papers that aren’t printed on a computer and since I can’t stay after school for limitless hours a day to work on all of the numerous things (the school closes after only a few hours after the school day ends) most of the stuff wouldn’t be completed. We spend so much money on ‘protecting’ ourselves by making better weapons, but finding out where we can steal resources from, be it another Continent or something along the lines of another planet. This song is pretty straight forward, but I think more people need to look at it and realize the destruction we’ve all caused, not that anyone will do anything about it.
Olivia Lufkin for her ILY Promo
Space Halo
You tell me you love me I watch you look out the window
Into the luminous blue sky
With eyes of loneliness
As if you had to go
What will it take to win your smile?
Does it help for you to know
That nothing can break my love for you
Believe in me, if you need to believe
Look into my eyes
Deep in my eyes
I wish you would let go
Of your space halo
Come down here and live with me.
Live with me
The fear begins to creep in
The distance begin to grow
I can’t find the right words to say
I need to know it’s okay
Okay
How am I suppose to hold you at ease
How am I suppose to know you love me
How am I suppose to hold you at ease
How am I suppose to know you love me
How am I suppose to hold you at ease
How am I suppose to know you love me
I wish I could make you
Truly happy
So you would never want to
Leave this world
I wish you would let go
Of your space halo
Come down here and live with me.
Live with me
*my comments, overall* It’s basically just a song about whether or not to fall into love, and wanting someone to just let go and not be so worried. It’s about a relationship and because one of them isn’t sure, it creates distance between them.
My conclusion… OLIVIA LUFKIN is … AMAZING!!!
In no particular order… however if I have more than one of their photobooks uploaded then you can just find their name, the ones who I have more than one of will be towards the top of the list. I hope you enjoy

NOTE: I made ALL of these messes by myself! 
A Background with Olivia Lufkin and Anna Tsuchiya, it features translated lyrics from both Tsuchiya and Lufkin
Just an excuse to throw a bunch of Lufkin's lyrics on there
I got bored… really bored… and since it’s almost the end of vacation (only a week T_T) I figured I might as well waste some more computer memory playing with my expensive toys… photoshop, I really don’t deserve it… I’m so horrible, people probably think I used paint, but I don’t even have that program…
This is a random picture I found, I took the translated lyrics from Olivia Lufkin’s song “Remember Me?” and did the red on black and black on red… it’s a little messy though.. well, near the hair anyway
I just wanted to do something simple
Tell if you guys like any of them :”D
It was released in 2005 and bought it recently while on vacation. I thought hmm… Nana… I’ve heard of the manga series… and I know only that much because one of my favorite singers Tsuchiya Anna has an album inspired by the Black Stones/NANA I had no idea who or what the Black Stones were then, but after viewing the movie I know now.
The movie was amazing. That said, we had just watched Love*Com, which was AMAZING!! I loved it! That said I had watched the whole anime series on my iPod during the bus ride in the morning, obviously not in one trip, it was 1 – 2 episodes per morning, but it was so cute, I’m not much of a shojo fan too, but this was just so sweet. Lovely Complex was just an adorable movie, the outtakes were just hilarious as it gave you different perspectives, but if you just wanted to watch it in one go seeing all of what’s going on then you can do that too. How Nobu-chan switched the presents, or rather bher boyfriend did, was just hilarious and then the wig, I really don’t want to spoil it but it was just so funny. Also in the actual movie (not the outtakes) Risa is wakes up on the bus and Otani is in the back and the pranks his friends did to him are just so hilarious. Risa’s sister is just weird, in a good way-no the BEST possible way, EVER. It’s insanely entertaining, in a rather embarassing way, she’s sooo awkward. I don’t remember her AT ALL in the anime. But she really was a perfect addition (XP I just wrote addiction accidentally).
Anyway, back to NANA, according to my friends that one who played Nana Ozaki was perfect and looked exactly like the manga version, the other one, not so much. The story really fascinated me as they meet on a train and again in the apartment. The mess with Shoji and whoever that girl is… I totally forget her name. It really doesn’t matter to me though, because I don’t like Shoji or the girl he cheated on Nana with. Mika Nakashima was just amazing with GLAMOROUS SKY it’s so awesome. That said I really adored Yuna Ito’s (and am actually listening to it now) Endless Story, it’s such a powerful song and it fits so perfectly with the situation. This site actually has the Kanji, Romanji, and English Translation of the Song (http://www.yunaito.com/l/endlessstory.html) You HAVE to see this, I’m not a huge fan of Shojo (despite what it looks like) but it was sooo amazing.
My Chemical Romance did a PV based on Miike Takashi’s Movie “Audition” It’s scary, but I must admit that the singer of the band scared me more than anything in that PV. It’s called “Honey, this Mirror Isn’t Big Enough For The Two Of Us” Can’t say I’m a fan of the song though, or the band for that matter. Never had been and never understood the obsession of their fans.
3 Small Words by Josie and the Pussycats & ANOTHER WORLD by Gackt have a similar beat, check it out
