Crap. By saying that I wouldn't make a layout because I said I would, I ended up making one. And guess what? It's very Winter. =_=; But of course I can't use it now, because it is still very November. So just make an Autumn layout you say? I can't. Because there is less than 22 days left of Autumn. And considering that I usually don't write here very often, that is a VERY big waste of a layout. 'specially since I usually don't re-use layouts. Because I'm very stubborn that way. And so because of this, I am going to complain my ass off about this so-not-important layout crisis until December comes. So THERE!

.......... o.O?

Sayonara!

I've decided to make a new layout for me blog. Something more... leafy. And maybe orangey-red. Of course this can mean only one thing. By stating (in print) that I "will" make a new layout, it will more than likely be completed by December. Where there are no orangey-red leaves. *cries for the leaves* Maybe I should just start making the winter layout instead. Same thing for my site, too. Although I am so very proud of that mossy layout. Even though I'm not a fan of moss. Or most green things. Actually that's not true. I've always been a fan of green things, ever since I was little. Kermit, trees, asparagus, little green aliens, um... guys who wear green coats... Actually, that's not entirely true either. They have to be blonde too. ^-^;

Wow! I sure got off track! ...What was I talking about? Oh, yeah, layouts. ....... Yeah. Anyway. I've also decided to start making a resume so I can go job-hunting. Oooo, money! Yum. However, I have no resume making knowledge. All I know is that your name/address/blah goes at the top and then... I dunno, stuff is listed afterwards that you probably lied about. Ha ha, no, you're not suppose to lie about the accomplishments. Although sprucing up the truth never hurt no one. Mwahaha. Anyway, if any one out there reading this knows any helpful tips for making a good "truthful" resume, send it to my guestbook. Please and thank you! :)

It's been a while, hasn't it? No, I haven't abandoned my blog, I've been on vacation. YES! VACATION! ^_^ Oregon was nice. But cold. So I got this really sweet jacket that didn't help much. But hey, I love freezing in style. That was basically my motto for the entire week. It was fun. ^_^ I also went shopping at this awesome Japanese bookstore and got a bucket load of manga, which is helping me through the blinding anger as yet another saturday morning of new cartoon eps were not shown due to those DAMN FOOTBALL GAMES. **breathe in the Joey, breathe out the tension... breeeaaathe**

*sighs* I'm okay now. Really. *twitches* Besides, they'll probably play the new eps during the week. Well, heh heh... they better.

But back to the manga I got. Most of them I'm familar with because I've seen their anime (like InuYasha and Kenshin), but there's this new one called Kaze Hikaru, which translates to Shining Wind or something. From what I can tell, it's basically about these two sisters who are training at a dojo with swords in the year 1863. I haven't really started reading/translating yet, and plus, this is only the first issue. The plot will probably thicken more in the second issue or whatever. I'll let ya know when I start reading/translating it with my very own, super-cool, New Nelson Japanese-English Character Dictionary. YEAH! ^___^ (Thanks Mel!) ^___^ Its Kanji-licious! And although I've heard a lot of complaints about the revised version from its original self, it seems great to me. Just like the ones I used in my Japanese class when I was in school. Ya got the kanji charts on the front and back inside covers, and the romanji index in the back if you can't find the kanji (or are too lazy), plus 1200 new characters! Looking this stuff up is a breeze so I don't get why they're complaining. Some people just don't accept change, I guess. Too bad for them.

Hmm.... What else. I'm still feeling kinda sick. Yeah, I came down with a cold or something near the end of the trip - I told you I was freezing in style. I wasn't built for 40-50 degree weather. Although I wasn't built for 90-115 degree weather either, and yet I live in it. Bweh. Anyway, I hope I didn't give you guys (as in my beloved sister and her fam) my cold. I'd feel so guilty if I did. I would have to come back over and make yummy tofu & noodle soup.

Eeeee, this entry is too long. Guess I'll end it here for now. Oh, and the "big surprise" I mentioned last week or so will be coming soon. I won't say what it is though, because it's not really that good of a surprise. Oh, and happy First of the Month! And I hope you had a good Halloween. I did, sorta. I dressed up as a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Ass-Kicker stuck with candy-duty, but I didn't get a lot of trick-or-treaters. I guess my house is too scary at night. Oh well, more candy for me. Mwahahahahaha!!!

Poor Pitas. They're having major server problems. Which includes deleting recent blog entries. How sad. I guess I could try remembering what I wrote, but most of it isn't important. So just incase it doesn't magically appear once I finish this entry, here's a recap:

• Jade*Island got a new layout.
• College football on tv sucks ass 'cause they always replace my cartoons or the Big Sunday lineup on WB. Bastards.
• I saw Kill Bill a couple days ago. Violent as Hell, but it has a good soundtrack so that makes it A-OK in my book.
• Spider-Man 2 will show its trailer before The Matrix: Revolutions or Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. Not sure which. Either way, go and SHOW YOUR SPIDEY SUPPORT by screaming really loudly before and after its supercool trailer. Eeeheehee... ^_^

Sayonara!

Arg. It's been too long since I last wrote here. And it probably will be again since Mom's computer died. Which means I have to share my laptop. Which I really dislike doing. (ha ha - remember that rule we all learned in kindergarden about sharing? I never payed attention. I was too busy throwing animal crackers at everyone when they weren't looking. Mwa ha ha) (scary how I still remember that)

ANYWAY. Since I doomed myself into making a new layout here, and made the mistake of it being non-seasonally matching, I have to make a new layout somewhere else. That is autumn-y. Even though there's only 1 & 2/3 of autumn left. Urg. These seasonal layouts are really starting to bug me. Maybe I'll just keep that Mossy-Stone layout till Christmas. Yeah, that could work.

Oh, and before I forget. I started reading Cloud of Sparrows. It's freaky, but cool. Cool, because it's about Japan in the 1800's and has a lot of samurai. Freaky, because Japan's history is a bit twisted, the samurai (although very kewl) are twisted in their "blood all around!" attitude, and I think Matsuoka-san (the author) was in desperate need a girlfriend at the time of writing this book. Seriously. The only reason I haven't tracked down Matsuoka-san and shove this book down his throat is because
1) Despite the freaky-ness, Japan is still one of my favorite countries. Besides, every country has it's dark side, right? No need to be bitching out, I guess. Although sometimes...
and 2) Some of the character names include Hanako, Miyamoto Musashi (who actually was a legendary samurai)(and is mentioned as so) and Shigeru. If you can't see the connection, don't worry. It's kind of an inside joke. Sorta. But I swear, if they mention a Kojirou or Satoshi, I'm gonna scream. Or at least laugh really really loudly. Like I am right now. Although it might actually say something about Kojirou, since he was a legendary samuari also. Can't remember his family name though. Ah well. But still. It's an interesting choice of names that keeps me reading this book. Besides the fact that I payed 8 bucks for it and it's too late to get a refund now. *sighs*

Sayonara!

Alright, I lied. I made a new layout. Not very seasonal, but who cares. I, however, picked a bad time to present the new layout because right now I don't have anything to say. Ha ha. So I'll show you this test result instead because it's a lot cooler than the new layout. -.-;

You're often depicted as the cold, distant season. But you're incredibly intelligent, mature and independant. You have an air of power around you - and that can sometimes scare people off. You're complex, and get hurt easily - so you rarely let people in if you can help it. You can be somewhat of a loner, but just as easily you could be the leader of many. You tend to be negative, and hard to relate to, but you give off a relaxed image despite being insecure - and secretly many people long to be like you, not knowing how deep the Winter season really is.

Well done... You're the most inspirational of seasons :)
