New little layout. ^.^ Even though I don't have the time, I still felt like making one, and it seems to have Valentine's Day inspired themes, ne? Although I didn't mean to make it turn out that way. I'm sorry that none of my past couple of layouts have been very creative, or eye-pleasing, it's just that limited time gives me a very short time span to work on these things. ^^; Speaking of new layouts, I love the one over at Joey's blog! Wai! Samurai Pizza Cats! I think that was the very first anime I ever saw... ^_^ *looks at her agenda* ...I still have quite a bit of homework to finish. ;_; By the way, you might have to press 'reload' or 'refresh' a few times to see the page correctly; well at least I had to anyway. ^^ I hope my ISP isn't acting up again. It seems to only stay connected for half and hour at a time. >.< And ICQ won't connect either! I guess it's for the best, I should be doing my work anyways! Ja. ^_^

*sighs* I had a long day today. ^^; Of course, I still have a lot of science homework to do but first of all, I need a little nap. At school we were given these Valentine surveys and on Wednesday we're supposed to find out who is our best match in school. Oi... I I'm a little worried about who my match-up might be! I've got a busy week ahead of me, so I think I'll be spending by birthday behind my school books. ;_; On top of that, I have to study to do a written driving test as I'll be turning sixteen. I do wish I could grow taller though! Maybe I look tall in that picture, Flipper, because I was wearing super-high and super-funky silver shoes! At least a 10 centimetre heel I remember they were! ^^

I really feel like those cinnamon hearts... I know that they're such a common thing for Valentine's Day but they're actually very good. *yum* ^__^ Ah, and I'm teaching my friend about weblogging and how Blogger works. I think she's a little obsessed now. ^^; *innocently smiles*

I won't be able to go online tomorrow, so: Happy 21st Birthday, Joey! All the best and I hope you get all the Angel Sanctuary stuff that you've ever wanted. *smiles* ^_^

Kyaa! Lots of flooding today where I live because it was so mild and the snow melted. '_' Tomorrow everything will be like an ice rink because the temperatures will drop again. Wai! I hate this cold weather. If only spring could come and warmer temperatures with it. I had to pick a book to read for my book report today, so I chose Doctor Zhivago. I've seen parts of the movie, but I'm renting it someday soon so I can see the whole thing. This type of book/movie interests me because it's based on history. ^_^ Even the one of the main songs of the movie, "Somewhere My Love" is very beautiful too....

I can relate, Flipper, about being the shortest for school picture day. That always happens to me still, so I guess the only way to grow taller is by eating vegetables? ;_; Ruby has a great layout at her blog! Ugly, she says! I think not. ^_^ Just look at my cut & paste 5 minute blog layout right here. ^^; And Joey, I like your new blog with Royce! The layout is very cute. ^^ *looks at her calender* Valentine's Day soon! I have to remember to make a quick stop and get a bag of those cinnamon hearts to distribute to schoolmates. Everyone, especially myself, is a sucker for candy these days! Hmm... my ICQ won't work. >.< And Napster won't either.... *throws poor compy across the room*

La~~! I'm still alive! ^.^ Just very, very busy. An unexpected snowstorm occured today so I was able to com home early from school. A very good thing because I had so little sleep the night before that I nearly fell apart. ;_; A nap and a big plate of food later... and here I am. Much better especially after the cheescake dear grandma made for me! I still have a lab report to work on this weekend (:x) which will be difficult to accomplish as only 3 days of thermodynamics is more than enough for me to handle!

I need a new layout for this blog, ne? This one only took about five minutes to make and the other one I have made but haven't posted took about 10. -_-; I just don't have very much inspiration and very little time! But simple is nice too, I hope? I'm a little bit stressed right now because the time is coming for students to pick their senior courses. Unfortunately, this is very hard for me because I don't have a specific interest in a particular field and it will be very hard for me to choose a career. I'm praying that my school will offer the course I most want to take, classical civilization. A little like a Western civ course with art, mythology, and ancient Latin/Greek thrown in!

Today the forecast has been lots of snow and freezing rain, temperature around -2. Tomorrow the forecast predicts thunderstorms, and a temperature of 10°C! Very unusual how the weather works! I should take a few minutes now to visit some of my favourite blogs *points to the list on the left* because I haven't done that in a while. ^_^ Ja!

Rain... lots of rain today. -_- And yet it's so very cold at the same time. I have about an hour of spare time today before starting my work so I made a new layout for this little weblog, non-anime. I'm not sure when I'll put it up, probably not for a while because this one has not been up for very long. Charlene, I like the new layout at your collective! ^.^ Don't worry about your design abilities, there is no need to! You already have wonderful designs while incorporating useful content as well. I'm studying Romeo & Juliet right now which is a beautiful play, but in science I am learning weather dynamics which isn't really very enjoyable. ;_; I didn't eat anything all day today until about 20 minutes ago because I had so little time! The first thing I grabbed for was 2 bowls of chocolate pudding, so there goes at least 2 pounds added to my body weight. -_-; And I still have about 33 science questions left to do... I'm sure I can fit in a few minutes of television, though ne? XD *tosses away science book* Wai! Amaru also has a new layout! Very nice. *sigh* I wish I had the time to work on improving my design abilities. -.-;

Flipper! I wuv the new layout and also the brand-new added content. ^.^ I just came home from a movie and I'm so tired... v_v My friend dragged me to "Valentine" and of course I didn't like it very much, as Amaru-san said in his blog too. I feel a little sick now though because I probably ate too much afterwards: pizza and a Frappiccino from Starbucks. Yum. ^_^ I'm sorry to anyone if you e-mailed me and I haven't answered yet. I've been so busy and my Internet connection wasn't working this afternoon. >_<; Only adding to my problems... *sighs* A lot of people seem sad lately. I hope everything works out okay to any of you who have been having problems these days. I'm going to go to my neighbour's house and hug her kitten (at 11 @_@). That always helps! ;)

Joey-san, it did take me a long time to work on that page, but it's so outdated now! ;_; Most of the summaries I borrowed from a page with permission and I just edited them to make them shorter and such. So it's not really all my hard work anyways. ^_~ After this *awful* day I had back at school, I don't know if I'll have any time to go online at all. ;_; Joey, you can use the summaries or character profiles if you like! You did want to open an Angel Sanctuary page too, ne? ^_^ I honestly don't think I'll ever have the time to fix up that poor little page and AS is so detailed. -_-;

Oi. x.x I'm so tired and my second semester courses are very difficult. I have so little time even today and I have to go over to a friend's house again and help her with Shakespeare. "In fair Verona, where we lay our scene..." *collapses* I'll post more later. I'm so busy! ;_; ;_;

I felt like looking at old pictures yesterday, and lookie what I found~! ^.^ Chibi Isabela! I'm 3 years old in this picture, on a mountain in Bulgaria. Aww, the memories. ;_; Even if I don't actually remember sitting on that mountain... *ahem* I watched a lot of Australian TV yesterday, Neighbours, which is a soap opera, and the Crocodile Hunter, which is about this crazy guy who hunts crocodiles. ^^; Aww, but yesterday they were showing koalas, which are the most adorable bears I think I've seen. It makes me so sad to know that they are endangered. ;_;

Still in this little sentimental mood, I decided to write a letter to my friend Saki, who moved to Japan last year. ;_; The last time I got a letter from her was I think last October and she told me how she hates the school "sailor" uniforms she has to wear but that she loves Pocky and wished she could send me some because they have a huge variety of flavours! Pocky! Pocky! ^_^ And I found some of my old Bulgarian fairytale books with such beautiful pictures! Now, with just a little practice, I'm sure I can read them!

School starts again tomorrow. *sour face* I have such a difficult sememster so I don't know how much time I will have to post. ;_; I'm even thinking of signing up for a program at the community centre because I need to do some more extracurricular activities. This particular program involves aerobics on Monday evenings and swimming on Wednesday evenings. @_@ Oi... on the bright side I'll get into shape that way. I watched my friend in her swimming class yesterday evening, and they had to do 30 something laps back & forth. I was sitting in the stands nearby and when she was done, she yelled something to me, but I didn't hear. She said it 3 more times and because I have terrible hearing, I still didn't hear! And so her instructor screams out, "GET HER A DRINK," and I said "Oh, okay, what kind?" Ha, the instructor thought I was just being annoying and snapped back, "Water is fine! She doesn't need a gourmet cocktail or anything!" XD XD That was my funny event of the day!

I nearly forgot that I had an Angel Sanctuary page. But it's terrible and hasn't even been updated in over a year. I still like Angel Sanctuary but I don't like my page so I will probably close it. I don't think I am as big of a fan as Joey-san so... :D

Wai! New layout over at Removed! It's very cool especially since I'm a sucker for blue layouts. Who has a birthday in February, by the way? I know that Alexa and Joey have birthdays. I have a birthday in February too. Exactly why it's the best month of the year! :P Too much typing today... I'll go back to my knitting! Yes... Isabela-chan does knit! It helps to relieve stress. ^_^
