Ok. Good old Izumi reminded me that I have a blog :)

I spent a lovely Xmas because I didn't get many presents (only a few, and some sweets and dried fruits which I adore) and because I managed to spent a pleasant night with my family. I obliged my father not to discuss with my mother (my siter and I blackmailed him) and you know what? It worked :) I appreciate his effort very much :)

Anyway, this year brought me many good and bad news...
If I had to weigh up successes and failures, I wouln't know if this was a good or bad year for me...

Let's see:

Happy events:
1. I graduated in Engineering (mmh...This is the happiest event in my life!)
2. I got more and more reconciled with my ex best friend Anna (we were best friends at school, but we haven't talked to each other at the University)
3. Garasu no Kamen 42 was published (BIG event!)
4. I found some more wonderful pen pals
5. I am still in contact with my very best e-friends and pen pals :)

Bad events:
1. I lost all my University acquaintances. It's not that I loved them, but I was quite used to seeing them every day...
2. I realized that too many friends of mine are dying with envy and I do not really understand them. I can't consider them true friends any longer.
3. My health and my nerves are not in good conditions yet...but you know, Rome wasn't built in a day :)
4. My friend in Japan was left by her boyfriend (they are both in Japan) after 4 years. If you knew them, you would understand why I am so upset
5. Do I have to talk about the tsunami? Sorry, I don't feel like doing that. My prayers are all for the victims and that's all.

Oh...Don't hate me, but I can't say this was only a bad year!!

I think I will not spent a crazy New years Eve, first because I have never had one, then because nobody feels like having much fun.
Anyway, life must go on and I think it would be stupid if we weren't grateful to heaven that we are alive and we can spend these days with our loved ones.
I will spend the new years' eve at Anna's with other friends. I think we'll have a big supper :) And she can cook so well!!!! Poor me :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!!!!
Please try to be happy!!!

ATTENTION!!!!
For my Italian friends: send a blank SMS to the number 48580.
You'll send 1 euro to the poor countries which were destroyed by the tsunami.
It's not much for us, and it can be a big help for them.
Tell your friends!

WAAAAAAAAAAAH!
It's official. Since today, December 16th, Japanese fans can buy the 42nd TANKOUBON of GARASU NO KAMEN!!! I envy them a little. In Italy we will read it on March 2005. I hope other volumes will follow soon. I couldn't wait 6 years, I am not as patient as Japanese fans :)
I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS YET. I will enjoy the story volume by volume. Tell me spoilers and I will kill you *LOL*
Anyway, someone told me that some fans are disappointed. I will ask for more info and I will keep Italian fans updated - in case anyone cares. I care. hehehe
In the meantime, I've bought, read and adored volume 39. It's so wonderful!

I almost fell down when Masumi offended Maya as usual, and Maya started crying -instead of getting angry and replying badly! I almost had a heart attack! That idiot Sakurakoji took advantage of this. I don't like him at all, but I LOVE jealous Masumi! it's such a pity Shiori is soooo smart and she will surely do something bad!!!
Oh I can't wait to read the next volumes! I'm an addict! Suzue Miuchi please pity me!!! Write a happy ending volume soon!!! And kill Shiori please!!!!!!!
I am proud of Ayumi. I knew she would not let her rival die. She's a great person. I love loyal people!

Well. I finally went to the cinema to see The Incredibles with my sister. I LOVED it, though it was less funny than what I expected.
Tomorrow, I'll go to the theatre to see Ghosts by Ibsen. Tomorrow is a special day: I have to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my best friend Anna and to the K-girl Barbara Rossi. She's got good tastes about manga: she loves Garakame and Haikarasan ga Tooru and Chiho Saito's works hehehe
Hugs and kisses all. have a nice nice weekend!!! I'll celebrate Anna's birthday and go downtown to Xmas markets. I wish Xmas time lasted longer :)

Mmh!
I promised myself to post something at least twice a month, so here I am. ..
So...

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year in advance everybody *LOL*

Before you ask, NO, my situation hasn't changed in the last 2 weeks ^_^ But it's Sunday evening and like all the Sunday evenings I promise myself to change my life style from Monday on hahaha
So, I'll write here my good intentions! Maybe if I write them I won't forget them that easily tomorrow ^_^
I MUST eat less, in the last weeks I've gained 2 kg because I've spent days and nights eating sweets... This is very frustrating!
I MUST eat better, and take care of my health! I can't make the pharmacy keeper even richer than what he already is ^_^
I MUST sleep more, and try not to think of Garasu no Kamen and my websites 24/7 (mission: impossible!).
I SHOULD stop with fanlistings... But I've just made the Ace wo Nerae! and Mamoru Kusanagi fanlistings hahaha. Ok. I own 13 fanlistings now. It's my lucky number. I promise I won't make other ones ^_^
I MUST find something to do on the New Year's Eve, an other one with my parents and I'll commit suicide ç_ç
----and, needless to say----
I MUST find a stage or a job...
Easy tell, ne?
Well, at least I have good intentions...
And... Don't forget:
ERRARE HUMANUM EST, PERSEVERARE HUMANISSIMUM!!!!

Besides fanlistings and Garakame sites, which are almost killing me (I even think of some updates to do while I am trying to sleep!!!), besides eating sweets and even going to the gym sometimes, what have I done recently?
No cinema yet, I would like to see the Incredibles at least, but I don't know if I will manage to find a evening when my sister and I are both free.
No books yet, and my sister almost broke the precious ancient Genji Monogatari which my teacher lent me. I have to play harakiri if I damage it!!!
I like Xmas chaos downtown. I've been to the Xmas markets in Trieste (from December 4th to 8th) and Gorizia (more or less in the same period). So nice! I love the smell of nougats, candy-floss, and other Xmas sweets! And Xmas lights and Xmas trees... And the crowd of people in the streets! What a pity they just think of buying. I have no money, I don't buy much. I just love watching the stands and the shop-windows, the Xmas light and people faces ^_^
I've seen the third show of the drama season at the theatre: Le triomphe de L'Amour by Marivaux. I kinda enjoyed it. Next week an other show! I can't wait to see it.
It's just a pity it will be on my best friend Anna's birthday (December 17th). But I'll call her in the afternoon and we'll see hopefully in the weekend.
Ok. This post runs the risk of getting terribly boring, so I'll stop here.
Special thanks to my friends and e-friends supporting me, with a special kiss to Paola for her lovely message. Thanks!
Tomorrow I'll spend a lot of money at the post office sending Xmas greeting cards! At least, I'm not as late as in the last years!!!!
