I want to be a Spanish interpreter or a translator. There's a large Spanish-speaking population around here and I'm already decent in the language anyway, so I might as well put it to use. I'm so bad at speaking it though, I'm better at reading and translating.
I've changed career ideas so many times. First I wanted to be a vet (and I still kinda wish I did the vet tech program instead of communications), then I wanted to be a comic book artist, then an animator, now a translator. Hopefully this is the last one.

How old is her mother in the future? I've forgotten...old age =[ Didn't Usagi rise to the throne at age 22 (at least in the manga) and stopped aging through the power of the ginzuishou? It gave everyone largely extended lifespans, but I don't remember if it prevented anyone from aging indefinitely or not. I'm tired so I can't really remember all the nuances of Crystal Tokyo right now.

A few things...
The Secret Lives of the US Supreme Court, F My Life, and Transformers: The Veiled Threat.
I need to actually finish one of these before I start on something else.

I got the Sims 3 a few weeks ago, but I only played it for one night because I don't want to get hooked on it just yet. I'm still making my way through Pokemon Platinum -- the boyfriend hooked me up with ten legendary Pokemon and I'm only halfway through.
I really, REALLY want to play The Orange Box but they don't work on Macs. I'm almost considering partitioning my hard drive and installing Windows just to play.
I'm so bad, I still haven't started on my college application! If I do like I say, I'll do that tomorrow. At least the Spanish major isn't a popular choice, so it's not like it'll fill up quickly.

The powers mostly come from the Japanese planetary names. For example, Mercury is Suisei, which literally means "water star." The kanji for "sui" was chosen before the Japanese knew what Mercury was really like. This site does a really good job explaining the kanji within the planetary names and what they mean. Your explanations are a pretty cool idea though, I never thought of it like that.

Really? My sister's ex is going to grad school at Towson. He's actually getting paid to go there -- he's going to be a TA.
I'm looking at Salisbury University myself as a Spanish major. I got a transfer scholarship when I applied to Tampa, so hopefully the same will happen at SU. I might not be able to get a completely free ride and I don't expect that, especially in this economy, but hopefully things will work out.

I can't go to the college I was accepted to due to money problems, so I have to apply to the local colleges. My dad's being a jerk about the whole thing and said I can't even commute to the only college in Delaware, so right now my only choice is go to the college about 40 miles away in Maryland. Weirdly enough, it kind of works out -- the tuition is actually cheaper as an out-of-state-resident than Delaware's in-state tuition! Plus, the college is about five miles from my boyfriend's house.

The concept is funny, but the execution is a bit weird. The muzzle or whatever it is is creeping me out.

Rei looks the most like she could be Asian. Maybe Makoto if it weren't for the green eyes. But everyone else... nope, can't see it.
Then again, there aren't a whole lot of anime characters that look Asian anyway. Unless we go the Fullmetal Alchemist route and have the story set in a country/world other than Japan... but not many series do that.

My boyfriend and I went to see Star Trek Friday. I didn't think I would like it, but I was blown away. I wish the original series was as interesting as the movie -- I'd probably actually enjoy it then!

Right now I'm split between Dragonball Kai and Fullmetal Alchemist 2: Brotherhood.

I think Luna keeps telling Usagi she'll get fat just to pick on her. Remember the drawing she did of chubby Usagi in episode 4? That was just more teasing than anything else.
Luna also probably does it out of concern because Usagi's eating habits aren't exactly healthy.

Not bad. Is it sturdy enough to survive a couple years? I had an older laptop for a year once it stopped working after a while. I certainly hope so. I've had my old one since I graduated high school in 2006 and it would probably still be working decently if I hadn't spilled soda on it a few months ago. It still works, I just have to press F1 repeatedly while it's booting so I can bypass the stupid lsass.exe error it suddenly developed. D: One of the perks of getting a Mac was getting an employee discount. I was originally going to get a regular MacBook, but when my sister's stepbrother offered to let me use his discount, I bumped it up to Pro. I can't wait to start editing videos on this. :3

My new computer arrived today! 15.4" MacBook Pro -- 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo 2 processor, 2 gigs of DDR3 RAM (will be upgrading to 4 gigs soon), 250 GB hard drive... it might not seem like much, but I'm in love! It's the one on the right -- my old one is on the left for a size comparison. I still need to buy a new mouse for it.
