Mmmm, I love LifeHouse! They're the coolest band ever. I went to Borders and Walmart today with me Ma, and I got the Nickleback, Creed, and LifeHouse CDs, along with some fortune cookies and this beautiful notebook that was made in Italy. It's all oriental-looking, with the ocean, the seagulls and the thin wood-block cover. It's so pretty. I was amazed that it was only $12.50. There was also this really cute SpongeBob Squarepants book, but I didn't have enough money with me to buy it. :( Hopefully, the next time I go it will still be there. **crosses fingers, but still doubts chances**
I think I'll update my layout tonight. Which means this is the last entry for this page. I liked this layout, it matched February nicely. I heard though, that some people had a hard time reading it because of the background. Oh well, the next layout is much better and easier to read. :)
And now, back to my blissful listening to LifeHouse. **ahhhh** ^__^

Thank God its Frickin' Friday! WooHoo! :) I'm completely determined to go to Borders this weekend so that I can buy my LifeHouse, NickleBack, Bush, & Creed CDs. I've been meaning to get them for the past 5 weeks, but I keep slacking so I forget to go shopping. BUT NOT TODAY! Or... well, tomorrow actually, since that's when I'll get them. heh-heh... ^_^;
Earlier today I was thinking about abandoning this Pitas blog since I'm so into writing in my journal (with me hands), but now I've decided not to. I like this place too much and I have a bad habit of starting stuff and never completeing it, or just leaving it to rot. That has happened to many stories of mine, along with a few major projects. I want to break that habit, along with my awful procrastination problems. Therefore, I will keep this blog, and write in it at least twice a week, if not more. I'll write in my journal at school, to help keep up with my consistancy and my writing style. LoL, I almost sound like I really know what I'm talking about. -_-;
I want to upload my new layout for this place, since it's no longer February (yay!), but I still have no Paint Shop Pro 7. I need that damn program to make my graphics. It's even more important than buying my domain. I mean, how good is a website if it has no graphics, other than outdated/last month graphics? Not good at all! That's why I must buy PSP7. The free-tryouts aren't working, so that's why I'm bent on buying it now. I'm even willing to pay it with my own cash. (God, I *luv* holidays. That's the only time I actually get money, LoL!)
Yeah, I really want to finish the new layout and upload it right now. This page is too long, and it's giving me a headache. Blarg. Guess that means it's time to go.

Today was a nice day. I've had my hair in braids for the past two days, so when I took it out this morning it was all dreadlock/wavy and pretty looking. ^_^ It stayed that way all day. Tee hee! I like wearing my hair in braids and down, so maybe I should do that more often.
Another nice thing that happened today, or more correctly this morning, there was a huge storm. There was strong winds that pulled a few of our trees right out of the ground, rain that almost seemed like hail, and tons of lightning bolts. Real live spider-web lightning bolts. I've never seen lightning bolts before, except for in pictures and TV. I've just seen flashes. But these lightning bolts were so cool looking! They were huge and really long, and reached all the way down to the ocean, or they climbed around the edges of the clouds. I loved it. :)
I've been bringing my notebook to school for the past week and writing in it. I know, no big deal, but it's helping me feel better. And, if I want to become a better writer I have to practice. It's also much more convienint than this Pitas page.
Speaking of this page, I have to start making my next layout. Unfortunetly, I still do not have Paint Shop Pro 7 to help with the pics. I've downloaded that program like 5 times now, but it still says I have exceeded my limit. Stupid thing; it must have tagged my laptop. Guess I'll have to stop being a cheap-o and actually buy it. **sigh**
eh... have to do my Biology homework now. But, before I do, I still have one thing to say. No one has reviewed my poem yet, and it's really sad. So please, someone go and review it? The link to the site is to the right. Just look for the story that hasn't been reviewed. You don't have to be a member of FanFiction.net in order to review it. Just go and read it and review it. I'm afraid no one is reading my work. It's sad... really.

I saw The Mexican during dinner tonight. We rented it along with a few other movies, and had pizza for dinner. The pizza was good, but the bottom felt kinda greasy. I didn't want to hold it, but I did anyways, so that Dad might not feel offended. Silly, I know, but oh well.
The Mexican was okay. The story in general was good, but the way the director made it was really bad. The story was all choppy, and ONLY if you watched the edited-out scenes (only on DVD), would you understand the whole movie. I mean, whoever edited the movie did a really sucky job. They totally cut out a few key scenes that really made the movie connect. But Brad Pitt looked mucho grande and mattaku no bishounen, so it was all good. ~^__^~ ha ha ha ha ha ha, how sad am I? XP
dum-dee-dum-dum, what else do I have to say? My website buying date has been pushed back 3 weeks. ugh. Apparently, my school grades of B's and C's are no longer acceptable, so unless I raise them before Spring Break (which is in 3 weeks), I won't be getting a website sometime soon. **sigh** So, I better start my homework now. Yeah yeah, I know, it's almost Midnight. Who cares. I'll do my little Nihongo essay now, and if I'm still awake afterwards, I'll begin my {ick} History homework. **yawn** I'm getting sleepy just thinking about it. :*(

WooHoo! I'm only a week away from owning my own dot.com!!! ^__^ You heard me correctly, folks! It's finally come to that time where the best hosting sites have come to perspective, and the final decision is coming into place. In plain English, this means that sometime before the end of the month, I will have my own dot.com domain. YAY!!!! ~^___^~
I'm watching Bernie Mac on Fox right now. It's an intersting show. Those kids are really bratty though. Makes me think twice about eventually having kids. I don't think I'd want to have kids if they turned into complete spoiled brats that made you want to slap 'em upside the head. Making me kinda angry just thinking about it. ...that's not good.
OoO, I found this really cool site where you can download really cool fonts. I downloaded a whole bunch, including one called GreyWolf. It's really pretty. When I start making my new layout for March, I'll probably use it. Although, it would look better in a blue background than a green one. Ah well.
Ugh, I've got a bunch of projects due on Wednesday and Thursday, and they're nowhere near completion. So, I guess I better start working one them. **sigh** And I really wanted to play me Gameboy... :(

Yay! My pics are working again! Actually, I created a new account at Boomspeed.com one of the last free web hosters that allow offsite linking. So yay for them!
:: Jade smiled at her kirei pictures at 01:33 p.m. ::
:: Saturday, February 16, 2002 ::
Yay! 3-day weekend! I swear I'm going to make good time management and complete a whole lot of stuff during my free time! YEAH!
OoO, website update! I've been discussing my domain buying thing with my credit-card-owning-and-willing-to-purchase friend, and we've decided to buy ASAP. What is that? OF COURSE I'LL BE PAYING FOR MY WEBSITE! I'll just be paying through her. Anyways, my site should be up and running quite soon. Hurray!
*Looks at weblog* Aye! Where's my pretty background pic?? Looks like Virtue.nu isn't going to work out. So, I guess I'll be out looking for a new free-domain place to store my pictures until my site actually exisits. **sigh**
Hmm, what else is new with me? ...Ah, yes, no one has reviewed my new poem yet. **cries really loudly** Waaa, why not? It's not that bad! *points to past poems that I haven't bothered to upload yet* Come on! Someone go and read it! Review it! Make me happy!! >:[
:: Jade glared at her review-less poem at 12:32 p.m. ::
:: Monday, February 11, 2002 ::
Ack, must hurry. I'm suppose to be doing my Biology homework right now. Anyway, good news! I uploaded my new poem (the one I was talking about in the last entry), and you can read it here. I demand you read it and review it! It's my best poem yet, or so I think. I can't really compare it to my others at the moment, since Mom is just in the other room and somewhat mad at me. Why? Oh, it could have to do with the fact that I'm failing Biology. So how do I solve this problem? I go online to rant about it instead of doing my homework. Heh heh heh... -_=; I need help.
Oh, and before I forget, there was a fire at school today. O_O!! It was behind the Gym, near the edge of school's land limits. It started around 11:15 this morning. I remember, because I was in English class and it was suppose to let out 10 minutes later. Anyway, the fire didn't get big, and rumor is that it started by someone smoking, and dropped the cig. into the bushes. Ugh, morons. But then again, this is MY school we're talking about. The place is 3/4ths populated by morons. And, just incase you're wondering, I am NOT apart of that percentage. yay.
AAAH! Mom's coming! Runaway! err... I mean send away!
:: Jade yelled at her laptop to hurry up at 05:55 p.m. ::
:: Sunday, February 10, 2002 ::
Ah, boy am I in a good mood. I just got a review for one of my stories at FanFiction.net. Yay! That story has been up for a few months now, and it never got a review. :( Oh well, it has one now. ^__^ TeeHee!
I added a link to my account on FF.net to the right side of this page, under the "About Me" section. So now, you can not only hear about my day, you can critize my stories and poems. WHOOPEE!
Wow, I really AM in a good mood today! :) Too bad though, considering I'm gonna hafta go to sleep soon. I have school in the morning, bleh. **sudden sinking feeling in pit of tummy** UNFINISHED HOMEWORK! ACK! I'm doomed I'm doomed I'm doomed I'm doomed I'm doomed I'm doomed I'm doomed I'm... hey, this kind of fun... :) o.O?
I wrote a really cool poem a little while ago. I really, really like it. I'm not sure what it means though... but it's kinda like a dream that's not a dream, but it IS a dream... of life. Does that make sense? Of course not. I want to post the poem on ff.net, but I'm afraid that if I do it now, it won't get as much attention as it would if I uploaded it during the day. After all, it's around midnight in California, and even later/earlier further into the country. I'll wait till tomorrow.
Ugh, Mom is really starting to annoy me. She's playing Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask, and she keeps asking me the most obvious questions every few minutes. She keeps telling me she can't believe I finished the game without the help of a stragity guide. I mean come on, the game wasn't THAT hard to figure out. I did get a few small clues from my sister (hi Melly!) back when I was playing it, but that's it. I shouldn't be so snappy at Mom though. It's not her fault she's not very skilled at video games.
*yawn* Alright, I think I'll go now. I've used up all of me happy-mood energy writing this long entry, so now I'm going to go to sleep. eh, what was that? Unfinished homework? Ah, don't worry. I still have the bus ride to school and that 20 minute recess before class starts. heh heh!
:: Jade smiled herself to sleep at 10:51 p.m. ::
:: Sunday, February 10, 2002 ::
Oh, what am I still doing up? I should be asleep, or at least attempting to pretend to be trying to do my homework. But once again, I've wasted a perfectly good Saturday by watching DragonBall Z and the Cartoon Olio thing on TV. **sigh** No wonder I hate myself on weekends. I never acomplish anything worthwhile.
Anyways, I read some really great fics over at FanFiction.net. Really, really, funny/sweet stories. Bah, I wish I could write like Togepretty. Her writing style really flows, but mine's like.... well, I'm not sure how good it flows but it definitely seems complicated to me. u_u Oh well. I guess if I practiced more and tried to write a little bit every day, my style would get better. Plus, I might even finish some of my stories! Did you know I have uncompleted stories from two years ago? Well, of course you didn't know, but now you do. ^_~;
I think I might have found a place to host my website. It's 20 dollers a month though. bleh. But, the service sounds good, and I'd get unlimited POP3 Mail accounts, and I think a 2 G bandwidth. I think it sounds like a whole lot, but I might be wrong...
Wow, I'm kinda getting into a writting mood! O_O! Maybe I should switch over soon and start working on a story? Hmm, maybe, but I still want to write more here. ---Ugh, what the heck is that noise? There's this strange squeaky-scratchy noise at my window behind me. It's probably from a tree outside. It's been really windy around here lately, so it may have screwed up the branches a bit. Oh well.
Crap, the power of sleepiness is overcoming my will to work on my story... zzzzz zzzzz **snore** zzzz.....
:: Jade desperately tried to stay awake at 01:17 a.m. ::
:: Sunday, February 3, 2002 ::
I'm watching the movie HOME ALONe on Fox right now. It just started. Kinda weird. I know I'd freak out if I woke up and found everyone gone with out a trace. **shivers** Then again, there's only 3 people living in my house, including me. Anyways, that poor kid. Even if it is just a movie. And for out-smarting those burglars? Ha. I'd fail miserably. Although I could... Nope, I'd still fail. =_=;
I sure accomplished a lot this weekend. not. I wrote about three paragraphs in the new story I'm writting. I looked at web hosters for my site but didn't find any I like. I did my english homework, so I'll get an A on that, although I shouldn't be expecting the same nice grade for US History. I made about 5,000np on NeoPets, but lost 1/3 of it to ghosts and gambling. ugh. I don't like weekends. Their too much hype, ya know? You spend all week thinking about what you're going to do with your days off, how much fun you're going to have doing the stuff you want to do. But then when the weekend rolls around all this crap suddenly slows you down, and then procrastination pulls you to a stop. UGH! It's awful.
Oh, yes, on to the main event of today. HAPPY XXXVI SUPER BOWL!! Am I a fan of football? uh... no. But do I listen to my Dad when he talks about the game? You bet I do! ^-^;

**sigh** Ah, I finally updated me blog, and YAY! I have a pretty new layout to show you! ^__^ I really like this layout. Isn't it sweet? I thought it'd be perfect for February with the pink tulips and all. Unfortunetly, Tripod.com and Dencity.com didn't accept off-site linking, so I had to sign up with Virtue.nu. Oh well, at least my pics are showing up. ***If you can't see the pictures, please wait for them to load***
Oh yes, back to me. Eh... well, to be quite honest, I have nothing to say. ^-^;; I got a new background for my computer screen. It's adult Link from Legend of Zelda; Ocarina of Time. He's doing the whole bow-and-arrow pose and he looks so bishounen! *squeals* I luv it. ;)
