*sigh*

This just goes to show that gambling is NEVER the answer to your problems. *sigh* *double sigh* I (rather foolishly, in retrospect) challenged one of my friends to a game of 8-ball. The loser had to sing. And, er, although I had the lead at first, er…. my nerves got the better of me and er…. I lost. T_T

So now I shall be performing on Thursday. T_T Terrible. Absolutely terrible.

The bright side is at least I get to pick the song. (Which I haven’t yet. However, I have eliminated “1000 no kotoba”, “Yubiwa”, and “Pure Snow.”) I’m thinking “Birds.” Or maybe “real Emotion.” -_-;;;; Oh, this is going to be so NOT fun. T_T *cries*

Speaking of “real Emotion”, I downloaded an (unofficial) English version yesterday…. from (FFX2.net) and…. er…. it was… interesting. To say the least. The singer, Kristine Sa, definitely isn’t at her best in this one, I’d say (I also listened to the audio clip they had of another of her songs, and I thought her voice was very pretty in that one ^^;) It also lacks the energy of the original. I do prefer Koda Kumi’s singing; I’m not sure, but I think there might be digital effects on her voice (a la Cher) which just makes it sound even worse. >>; Although Ms. Sa did write English lyrics, and I don’t think they’re TOO bad… in short? Just spare your ears. The main singing’s tolerable but the “What can I do for you?” parts are TORTURE. *shudders*

*happily bounces back to Koda Kumi’s version*

I’ve been downloading Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle as well (the manga featured on the layout.) I love it so far~! >D Usually I hate crossovers, but since I haven’t read any of CLAMP’s works but CLOVER, and since I’m not really familiar with anything other than MKR and CCS… it doesn’t seem like a crossover to me. >D I just really hope they don’t bring CLOVER characters into it. *crosses fingers*
