Hi
[Saturday, July 3, 2004 at 12:39 p.m.]

Long time no write! I'm busy being addicted to Achaea and working on my cosplaying outfit among other things. Half of you are like gone somewhere in other countries. But that's okay, I'd rather be at home. Airplane travel makes me air sick. I really really hate air travel. Blech.

Well, I'm trying to create a new layout. I've got two ideas and one already made layout. I hate my already made layout, gonna scrap that one and pick one of the other two ideas. Serena is a freaaak (my layout is so purtyful! *squeal* - Serena). Blah.

Otakon is coming and I might get a job soon. At McDonalds. Yay. Sense my enthusiasm for that job. But money is money I suppose. Plus they're the only people that would like hire a 14-year-old.

I really want to save up money for Otakon and to buy credits on Achaea. T.T Addiction makes me insane.

Trying to decide whether or not to do a cheerful layout (Neverending Quest for Food) or a dark one (Fallen Angel). Yeah, I know the dark one is oh so original. Blech. But I have an awesome pic for it!

I'll probably end up trying them both and picking the one which turns out best.

Mowing the Lawn
[Sunday, June 13, 2004 at 01:19 p.m.]

I just finished mowing my part of the lawn. First time I ever mowed the lawn really. Now my hands feel wierd.

Birthday
[Wednesday, June 2, 2004 at 04:22 p.m.]

Well, yesterday was my birthday (6/1). Glad to see so many remembered...Ah well. I don't know half my friends' birthdays so I'm not one to complain about it. I have to say though, it really was one of the suckiest birthdays ever.

Argued at the top of my lungs with my dad at least three times. Oh yeah. Way to start of the day. I'm sorry but he just frickin' pisses me off!

Ate steak while my stomach was hurting like hell. I will never eat steak medium rare again. The juices just ooze out. ::puke::

It was a pretty ordinary day really. Nothing special at all. Except for the steak thing.

Strange...
[Sunday, May 30, 2004 at 06:39 p.m.]

Remember when we all used to update our blogs every other day? Obviously, we don't anymore and the whole blogging thing has kinda faded...It seems to be picking up again though. Just a little bit. And yeah...not much to talk about.

Serena is so cheap.

Been a While...
[Friday, May 28, 2004 at 09:12 p.m.]

Hey! Contrary to popular belief, I am NOT dead. In fact, I'm alive and kicking and my birthday is coming up veeeeeeeery soon. ^^ New layout as I'm sure you notice. I'll be tweaking it over the next few days as I find things wrong with it.

Arg! Went and screwed up my old layout because I forgot to archive it. Now the archive is kinda funky and I hate it. Not that it wasn't before...because it didn't have images. Stupid Angelfire.

Tell me what you think about the new layout. Should I add music?

Nyah, Serena! Who cares if this part is too small. I think it's fine.
