私の生きた証拠

I’m horrendously irritated.

I managed to chalk up 20+ emails (in the inbox) and another 28 in the junk. What the hell???

This is impossible. I don’t exactly dislike human contact, but this sheer volume of correspondence is really getting on my nerves. It is a fortunate decision that I set my input from egroups to daily digest, but even so the sheer volume of material I have to read through (given that people LOVE to spam egroups over every single little thing) is really overwhelming. And guess what? They like to send messages about meetings and stuff through egroups at like 11PM THE DAY BEFORE (not all the time, but often enough to get me riled up). That pisses me off because of two reasons: 1 - the daily digest doesn’t usually get through till the next day, and 2 - PEOPLE HAVE TO SLEEP, GODDAMN IT. I swear I have never felt the need to sleep as much as any other period in my life these days. And yes I sleep before 11.

It seems to me that high school life in the modern times is really about as bad as a real job. We all put up with it and pretend it’s normal - but deep down, unless we feel something’s WRONG then that person is a bloody freak. We don’t get paid for joining a lot of clubs and planning a lot of stuff - sure we learn a lot of stuff from doing it, BUT IT’S FREAKING NOT WORTH IT. But everyone’s doing it - and so am I, to a smaller extent.

I’m not writing this as a organized, argumentative piece, because it’s not meant to be. It’s a merely a form of release for pent-up frustrations that I do not need or benefit from. Goddamn it. And I still have library fines to pay off.

And I’m HUNGRY FOR GOODNESS’ SAKE. I shall go get some food before I scream my head off in due course.

I finally managed to pay that sickening bill. So my hosting’s back. It didn’t take them long to process it, thankfully.

I’ve been working on a couple other translations… Shiosai from Aria (潮騒) included, but I couldn’t finish just two lines.

Bah.

Will be working on them as much as humanly possible. Count on it.

To everyone in my class, the teachers who had lessons for the day and anyone I have talked to or been in close proximity to for the day, please allow me to offer my humble apologies.

The truth is that I have fallen ill at around evening time, and I am running a high fever right now. I have endangered your health, and just as importantly, your CT grades for GP, and for that I have nothing to express but my deepest remorse. In particular, Xinyu, Luo Chen, Grace, Jonathan and Weizhong - I would not ask any of you to forgive me if you should really fall, and I’ll try my utmost to make it up to you if the worst should happen.

I hope (for I cannot pray) sincerely that none of you would fall ill, as I have, and the best of good fortune for your CTs (which I probably won’t be taking with you all).

I like both the OP and ED of sola very much, but since this song seems easier to translate I decided to get to it first.
Special thanks go to AkaiWolf of #pizzahut on Rizon, who scrutinized every single line (and made me realize several rather glaring mistakes). ^^

Oh and this also marks my return from semi-retirement. Assuming they don’t cut my hosting from not paying the fees…. >.<

Yes that’s random.

Actually I’m at Republic Polytechnic right now enjoying myself immensely. There’s no booze but at least I can talk about hush-hush stuff with people who actually understand. Oh and I can speak my brand of English without fear of discrimination. That’s something that doesn’t come by all the time.

We came up with a group name. To be more precise, I suggested it, but the group isn’t terribly keen on taking it on because it’s quite a mouthful. Try pronouncing

Aurum potestas est

For the well-read among you, you might recognize this expression, no?

Anyway money is good.

And exams are good.

Coffee beats them all.

*goes for a refill*

Perhaps.

Perhaps not.

There are still things to do.

And a lot of it.

Damn.

Well, it was that for me yesterday. And for a first attempt facing the combined forces of Destiny and his minions Justice and Goodness I think I didn’t do too badly.

I’ll know how I fared in the third week of July. I can’t wait.

Oh wait.

I have yet another date with Destiny on Thursday.

Oh well. I’ll celebrate after that.

I may be sneezing my head off now, but I am still enjoying myself to some extent.

Because of Sakakibara Yui’s (榊原ゆい) “Eternal Destiny” (OP of Yoake Mae Yori Ruriiro Na [夜明け前より瑠璃色な])! It sounds so cute and catchy (possibly because of insane oestrogen levels) that I’ve decided to bump it up higher on my to-be-translated list.

I tried working on some other songs, but these days I find it exceedingly difficult to complete any satisfactory translation. I deduce that my Japanese abilities (and associated translation abilities) have deteriorated at an alarming rate since entering high school.

Yep.

いかんぜよ。

I realize I’ve been daoing everyone for like a week (or longer) now… and to be honest (like I am always am) I feel pretty guilty.

But 6R (and Flak and Shinju) since you are all such great people, I hope you won’t hold it against me… (ok fine I know SOME people in 6R don’t give a damn, but that’s fine with me) I swear that after next Thursday I’m going to resume my duties! (my long-suffering Alchem and PW pals - I WILL RETURN!)

The worst news, however, is…

I THINK I AM COMING DOWN WITH A COLD.
OMG OMG OMG

PLEASE LET ME RECOVER BY MONDAY OR I WILL GET

I cannot find words to describe my rage.
