It is really late. Or... early. Something. Anyway, I have no idea why I'm writing here, since I have so much to say and no energy to write it. Maybe I'll give the short-side version. But then I'll never write the long-side version. And you KNOW I love writing the long-side version. It's just so much fun and annoying that way, since no one *really* reads the long-side version. They just skim through it. So maybe I should write a middle-side version? Is there such a thing? Well.... I guess if I wrote *any* kind of version by now, you'd all know what I was talking about. But of course you don't, but then again neither do I. Have you looked at what time it is? If not, I suggest you do. Cause that will explain this entry. Which reminds me, I find this blog layout very boring now. I must change it. Remember how I wanted to make it match a corrosponding theme with my site? I've decided not to do that. There is so much serious-ness in the world lately. Why have it on my blog? If you want serious-ness look in a newspaper. Or turn on tv. Or the radio. Or look up the word in a dictionary. Although you won't find it 'cause I probably spelt it wrong. ....but it's not like you'd really look it up. Yup, it's late. And I'm not feeling too good. Double swell-ness! . . . . . I should go now. But before I do, I have one thing I'd like to say.

Wow, long time no see. But I've come back bearing many gifts. ...Not that I actually went anywhere... But anyway! Musogato.com has a wonderful new layout, a wonderful new guestbook, and a new perspective on things. Although the "new perspective" part will become more noticable later. Don't worry, it'll be great. You'll see. Besides Musogato.com, this blog is also going to get a new look, very soon in fact. The new layout is way over due, and since I just got a sudden burst of genius, it's going to relate to Musogato.com's new theme. Because, that just makes sense. Duh! ^__^ I'm lovin it. Don't forget to sign my guestbook! :)

Must.... regain control.... of my summer. Wasting time is no longer an option or luxery. It's time I do something useful. And that's exactly what I plan to do.
But in more important news, WolfWood has made his appearence in Trigun. ^__^ He's my favorite. Tragic in the anime though. Hopefully he has a happier ending in the manga. Guess I'll have to find out though. Donations, anyone?

I am now officially afraid of my computer. And the oven. And the televisions. And my alarm clock. And any other evil machines that reside in the house. ...Does my stereo count too? aww, I liked my stereo.
You should see Terminator 3 too! Lots of fun. ^^;
July 12, 2003 : 7:58 pm
Spider-Man. On MTV. That's all I have to say. ^_^

Ever hear of the saying, "Good mornings bring bad evenings"? Anyone? Maybe I just made that saying up, but it certainly seems to ring true a lot for me. I remember many days where I went to school feeling happy, but then later returned home thinking "Damn, life sucks." Yup. "Good mornings bring bad evenings" is certainly the statement of my life, or at least how today went. I won't go into any details because that just might further the damage, but I will state the 'good morning' part because it's always best to remember the good things and not the bad. Or something like that.
Good news: Mom figured out how to make the N64 play on my stupid tv, thanks to some switchy thing. So yay for ma & the switchy thing. Oh, and for all you wondering out there, the stupid tv was made by Magnavox. *voices in the background* "Ah, so that's why you don't see commercials for Magnavox anymore..." *end voices*
............. what?
July 7, 2003 : 11:59 am
Whoever designed the tv that I have in my room is a total crack head. You know what my tv does? It displays television shows. That's ALL it does. You can't even plug a VCR into the damn thing (let alone my beloved N64)! In the back there are only two plugs, one to plug into the wall for power, and the other if you want cable tv. The dork! I hate my tv so much right now. And I hate it even more since I just figured out this stupid fact after HOW MANY YEARS of owning the damn thing? Meh. Stupid tv. And it's not even that old of a model, either. It's like from the late '90s or something and I know for a fact that tvs and vcrs have been in colaboration together far before this stupid tv was made. There's not even a button on the tv or the remote for anything else other than the tv. And the close captioning button doesn't work either.
Can I throw it off a cliff now?

FYI, the Lucky Leprechaun firework was a total bust. I guess that's why you shouldn't try celebrating an American holiday with a firework sporting an Irish mythical creature.
Oh, and Happy Birthday Jen! :) ...Although the odds of you finding this page are pretty slim, but it never hurts to try. **sends happy b-day vibes your way**
July 4, 2003 : 9:49 pm
Alright, that's it. No matter what it takes I am moving to New York because they have the best damn fireworks show around. What's that? I'm not a city type of person? Who the hell cares! Fireworks, man! Damn Good ones, too!!
July 4, 2003 : 12:31 pm
Happy 4th of July everyone! We bought some pretty cool fireworks this year, so yay. One of them is called Lucky Leprechaun. It should be... interesting. *laughs*
...whoa. That was freaky. Remind me never to laugh while eating ever again. Swollowing + chex mix + laughing = a very scary combination! >.<; Anyway, remember that midi that I fell in love with a few days ago, but had no idea where it came from? Well, I found out where it's from! ^-^ It's from Kingdom Hearts and it's called 'Simple and Clean'! No wonder I didn't recognize it, I only play Nintendo games *tries not to sob* I miss out on so many PS2 games... hint hint. ....ANYWAY! (^^;) I think this song comes from the soapy bubble scene or something, which I think I saw in one of the comericals. Which would explain why it's called 'Simple and Clean'. No, really?
Right. Back to Indie Day. ... I don't really have anything to say about it. Except that fireworks ROCK OUT LOUD. YEAH! ^__^ I love fireworks. And guess what! Trigun is coming back to Adult Swim! ~*^_________^*~ Seeing that totally makes my day. I think it starts back on Monday, which is great. I love that show. I'll have to buy the anime DVDs when I get a chance. Maybe there's a manga about it too! I'll have to look into it.
Wow! This has been some entry for the day that America broke it off with Britain. Not really though. I should say something philisophical or cynical about today, but in all honesty I don't really care. When it comes to holidays, I care about one thing. The fireworks. THAT is what its all about people, the FIREWORKS. And food. Cannot forget the food.

You're right. I am just a fraud. Congratulations.
July 1, 2003 : 5:18 pm
You know, I was sitting in my room, completely bored out of mind. There's a lot of things that I should work on, but everything was just.... bleh. I didn't want to do it. I needed a change of scenery, you know? So I took my labby and I went outside. AH! It's wonderful out here. I'm sitting on the front stairs of my house and it's raining. Everything looks so beautiful... so I just had to take a break from working on this new thing for my site to come here and tell you readers about it. Yes. Outside is a very nice thing to help clear the mind. Especially since I have this really cool midi playing too. Enhances the mood. I have no idea what anime it's from, but it's the same midi that's playing on MoonbeamTwinkles petpage from Neopets. I found a site that had this midi listed. The midi name is called: kh_hikari_s.mid So if you type that in Google.com you'll find some Japanese sites that have it so you can hear it too! ^-^ There was a bunch of kanji that I didn't understand so I couldn't tell which anime or game it's from. But, if you know what anime/game it's from, could you tell me? I'd appreciate it big time! =)
July 1, 2003 : 8:00 am
Oh.... Last night I dreamt I was eating Dorito chips (the lovely original kind) and when I woke up, I had a monster tummy ache. o.O? My dreams are becoming too real! It's like, the Matrix or something! *pretends to be scared* *and fails* Damnit! It's too early in the morning to be dramatic.
June 29, 2003 : 6:44 pm
I updated Jade*Island with an actual fanart of Link from Legend of Zelda. Wow! I feel so proud. So go there and check it out. Because if you don't, I will cry. Not like you'll be able to hear me though. But you never know. ^.~
June 28, 2003 : 2:52 pm
There was a car show today. TONS of old Fords and Chevys from the 1930's - 1970's. There were at least over 100 cars or so, at I think 15% of them had flame designs. It was so cool. Some of the cars even had flames engraved on the engine! Hahahahahaha. When I get a car, I want it to have a flame design. Not sure what color though, it depends on the car's body color. Maybe.... it'll be a midnight blue car with metallics, and silvery white flames sprouting from the front. Or, it could have a thin line of silvery flames racing along the bottom sides of the car and then meeting together in the back with some complicated but freakingly awesome design. And in the front, the flames could accent the headlights. Oh yeah. My car is going to ROCK. ^-^
June 24, 2003 : 1:21 pm
Crap. I've reached that point in my summer where doing ANYTHING productive takes more effort than I want to give. Like working on my website. Or eating breakfast.
Nah nah, I'm eating breakfast. But my website? ugh. I can't even think about it. I want to update it, but whenever I sit down to actually work on it, it's like, "I can't do this right now". So I don't. And then I usually end up at Neopets, where my day slowly fades away until I realize my other slice of heaven (Yu-Yu Hakusho & Rurouni Kenshin) is on. But as I enter my..... what, fourth week of freedom (?), Neopets is losing its appeal. And so now I really do have nothing to do. I should be saying, "Now that Neopets' spell has warn off, I can work on my website and other kewl stuff I've been wanting to do!" But instead, I've just become a dead blob. I have no motivation, ya know? And since I also have no discipline, I can't force myself to sit down and finish those damn stories I started back in '99. It's like, I want to work on these things but not right now. Like this new webpage I'm doing as a side site to Jade*Island. I like the ideas I have for it and I really want to work on it, but I'm never "in the mood" to actually sit down and write it. I'll write down small notes about whatever topic that comes to mind, but that's it. "I'll do it in the morning" I say. HA! Please. Like I've ever actually done that before. All lies I tell ya!
And now I'm really bored. Damn. You know what? If I had a job to go to, I bet I would get really motivated to work on my website. Because, you know, I'll always want to work on something else when forced to do something. Like waiting on stupid people who are exceptionally annoying. Ah yes. As soon as I become a poorly paid waitress, my brain will burst with ideas for my site, and motivation to work on them! Now, if only I had my licence....
June 17, 2003 : 5:16 pm
Yay. I always fall for the hero, anyway. ^-^; But I still gonna miss my daily dose of Trigun! *continues sobbing* ...I guess I could just buy the anime on DVD or something. But being a dramatic is always much more fun. ^^;
June 17, 2003 : 5:07 pm
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
**runs away sobbing and doing other overly-dramatic actions**
"Cartoon Network's Adult Swim lineup:
No sign of Trigun or Cowboy Bebop. Oh God. My slice of Heaven.... where'd it go?
June 14, 2003 : 10:40 pm
Eki eki non blem blecki...
I want to make a new layout. For everything. Well, not everything. I like my current blog layout. I find the electronic journal on top of a picture of an actual journal to be very humorous. But for my website layouts, Musogato & Jade*Island... I want to change them. I feel kinda bad though since I just gave Musogato a new layout and now I want to make a new one so soon. But J*I has had her layout for quite some time now. I should start there first. I know what type of layout I want (IFrames), but I'm not sure what should star as the layout eyecandy. A favorite character from one of my fav animes? Maybe, but I don't know. I get this weird feeling when I use other people's work in my layouts. Even if it's super-famous like Vash from Trigun or Edward from Cowboy Bebop. And don't even get me started on using stuff like that on Musogato.com's layouts. It freaks me out just thinking about it. "Musogato.com hosts *MY* original work, so why should the layout show off someone *ELSE'S* work?!" my conscience screams at me. I hate it!
But anyway. I have a few layouts in mind, but I don't know if I should use them just yet. Either way, J*I seriously needs a make-over. Maybe I'll try working out the details next week.
June 13, 2003 : 10:44 pm
I'll wait for the day
I know it will come.
I will be glad I was there.
June 12, 2003 : 12:26 pm
I found this site where they give you a personality assessment by which blood type you are. I guess it's kinda like the Chinese Zodiac. This blood type stuff is *really* popular in Japan, which is probably why I find it interesting. Okay, I'm B+ so let's see what they have to say about the type B's...
Mwa ha ha ha! That is so true! ~^___^~ ...wait. Could that be a bad thing? ^^; Ah well.
June 12, 2003 : 10:59 am
I look at my site's layout and I think "....ugh." :( I guess I'm just over it. Maybe it's too simple? Well, it kinda is. No real work went into it. Modify one picture, make a border, write up the html, and bam. done. No wonder I finished the entire thing in less than half a day. Although for my very first layout, it took almost a month to make and it wasn't that great either. But it was kinda cool how the two frames changed at the same time. ^-^ But still.
Maybe I should just start making a new layout. I know I like to have mine last a whole season, but I just can't stand to look at that layout any longer. And it's only been up for a little over a week! Maybe I can add more to it, make it look a little more complicated or cooler. But how? I don't know where to start. Maybe I should just forget it and start a new layout from the ground up. Starting over. I like that.
June 10, 2003 : 6:42 pm
Heeeey.... it's been over a week since I graduated! Wow. Actually, I noticed this fact when it had been exactly one week (...what day was that?) but I had been too lazy to say so. In fact, ever since I had gotten out, I have completely lost track of what day it is. Even now, I'm not sure what day it is, except for the fact that it is a weekday. How do I know this? Because it is not Saturday. And trust me, I know when it's Saturday. And today? Totally not Saturday. I guess I could just look at a calendar or something, but I don't really mind not knowing what weekday it is. It doesn't really matter, ya know? All of my fav TV shows (except for the ones on Saturday) have entered their summer repeats session, and with no major events coming my way, there's no need to worry about it. Today is today, that's what counts. That's all that matters.
Wait-a-minute.
Something... in my head.... is giving an alarm. Something not right... something that can't be forgotten. Something that is closing in. Oh God.
No, wait, nevermind. That's just the amount of time I have left to pick up my real diploma from school. Ha ha, silly me. But what if......
June 6, 2003 : 2:05 pm
I wish I could throw it all away. Everything, down to the smallest little scrap of paper. Screw the past, the "sentimental value", I just want to be here for the present. The now. Memories weren't meant to last forever so why bother. But... I can't. I can't throw any of it away, even though it sickens me just to look at it. I don't know why I have to save it, I just know I do. Dammit. I hate Spring Cleaning.
June 4, 2003 : 11:51 pm
Just finished updating my website again. For the second day in a row! Wow. I am so proud of myself. Will I update again tomorrow? Maybe... I *did* find some very kewl Trigun sprites that would look great in my toybox. Trigun is my newest all-time favorite anime. It rocks SO hard. ^__^ I'm so glad that Cartoon Network added it to their Adult Swim lineup. And then having Cowboy Bebop follow afterwards? It's like an hour of heaven every night. Except.... with a lot of guns. But still. ^_^;
Anyway, back to Musogato.com's newest update. I've actually added something totally new to MG that has never been seen before. Comics. Yup, I'm dipping my feet into the river of comic authoring. I have 2 main comic ideas in mind, but the comic I just added to my site is neither. It's about cute little ladybugs talking in Japanese. .....yeah. But the other comics I've been thinking about for a very long time, working out the characters, situations, environments, and where I want these comics to go. And now that I'm no longer in school and getting a job has been put on hold until after summer ends, I've got a giant load of free time on my hands. And what better way to spend it than working on my poor neglected website! Who knows, I may even make something for Jade*Island, my fan-site webbie that hasn't gotten any new material in over a year! Yeah.... I can see it now... **envisions possible updates** Makes me want to work on it right now. But it's kinda late. And I really need to clean my room. Maybe I'll start some new update tomorrow. Yes. Definitely tomorrow. oOo, like that Legend of Zelda story I started a few months ago that I was so happy about writing! I should definitely try finishing that fic, it wasn't a very long one afterall. Tomorrow then. All future happenings can start tomorrow. :)
June 2, 2003 : 8:41 pm
I'm so proud of myself. I've only been working a few hours and I'm already practically done with my new layout. It's horribly simple, but it still looks nice and I'm happy. Yee. Maybe I'll start uploading it now? ..........maybe. :)
June 2, 2003 : 2:08 pm
Ha Ha Ha Ha! High School-er no more! Mwah! Oh yeah, I'm happy 'bout that. ^__^ I'm ultra tired but super hyper right now, so it's.... kinda strange at the moment. But it's cool. Until I turn into a full-on zombie and die/fall asleep for a week. Then I'll wake up and I'll be fine. Or so they think. Kee hee hee.......
Graduation was fun, but weird. It was like I was watching a dream that I couldn't wake up from. I didn't cry at all. Not a single tear blurred my vision. It didn't feel real.
Anyway, the "Commencement Ceremony" went rather smoothly. Our school band sucked though. They played WAY too slow for our school's Alma Mater, which in turn screwed up us, the graduates, who were singing.But other than that, everything went okay, I guess. It took an hour longer than what was expected (we did have 269 people graduating) so all the events planned for Grad Night happened a bit later. But it wasn't that big of a deal. Oh yeah. Project Grad / Grad Night was a school funded all-night party that took place right after graduation. See, a lot of new graduates die every year, usually right after graduation. Really sad. So my school started this tradition that they have this all-night party at various fun places around town to keep us safe and have a great final time with our graduating class. The idea ROCKS. But not only do we get to go to these places and have TONS of free food (heheheh) if enough of the graduating class comes, we can win a check for 00 (85%) or even a FREE CAR. 95% has to come though. My class was the 3rd class to graduate from my school, the first class to use the new football stadium, and the last class to get the chance to win a free car. No one won the car. 81% of our class showed up (highest ever. 1st year only 20% came, 2nd year had 63%). But Mikena, the car dealership that sponsered and souped up the free car, gave us the four extra percent to make 85%, and so we won the money. I didn't win, of course, otherwise I wouldn't be typing this right now. I would be out spending it, dammit! Ha ha. But I do know the girl who did win it, I think I had a class with her one year. But anyway, because no class has ever won the free car, it was up to us to win it otherwise the car give away tradition would end. And we didn't win, so that tradition ended. But the Grad Night tradition lives! yay.
This year for Grad Night, we first went to the King Kam hotel for a gigantic feast (uber yummy) then we went to the bowling alley. OH MY GOD. In their arcade, they have Dance Dance Revolution Extreme!!! I've heard sooooooo much about that game. It, like, revolutionized video games everywhere! I loved it! ^_^ I kinda sucked at it, and it was broken so you couldn't challenge anyway, but it was incredibly cool. Maybe I'll go to the bowling alley more often so I can get better at it. ^_^ Oh, and yeah, I didn't go bowling. All the lanes were taken. Such a bummer. Last place was at the local pool. We got there around 2:30 I think. I didn't bring a bathing suit, 'cause... I don't have one. *avoids randomly thrown objects* I know, it's stupid. How can someone live surrounded by water and not have a suit. Well, I have one, it just doesn't fit anymore and I'm too damn lazy to go buy another one. So Bleh! >P Anyway, besides swimming, they had some of bands playing, kareoke, heinna tattoes or something like that, fortune tellers (they're SO fishing for whatever connects), Sumo wrestling (it was so cool! They had these giant sumo suits that you could get into. I didn't try it though, but it looked really fun), a blown-up obstical course, and basketball. It was all really great. Besides the chance to win the money and car (they didn't tell us about the car until the very end. Everyone thought for sure we'd win the car) the also had a BUNCH of smaller prizes, like small gift certificates to restaurants, stores, tourist sport stuff like heliocopters, diving, etc, and so on. I won an IronMan AM/FM radio w/ headphones. Which is really great, 'cause I've been meaning to get new headphones. My old ones are all torn up and kinda sketchy on the left earphone.
wow. This is a reeally long entry, and I haven't even gone through all of the details. Creepy. But I'll wrap it up. Um.... I had fun? I don't know what to say. Oh wait, last night at Sam's graduation party we went to see Finding Nemo. It's such a cute movie! Really sweet. But we saw it really late and it was so cool because there were a bunch of other graduates there too! Ha ha. See, that's when we big kids go see the silly movies; late at night when all the annoying little kids have gone to bed. Mwa ha.
Woooo-hoooo!

Well, as of 1 o'clock pm yesterday, I was no longer considered a High School student. And at 6 o'clock tonight, I will be considered a Graduate. So now I'm kinda in this in-between zone until the Commencement Ceremony begins. Gravy. But I'm sure that time will fly fast enough. And if it doesn't, I can always play my second play-through of Wind Waker. It's so cool-- when you first play it all the deities speak Hylian and you can't understand what they're saying, but in the second play-through the Hylian is in English/Japanese/regional language and you can understand! Ha ha, I love it. .... Well, that figures. Even on my graduation day I'm still talking and thinking about Legend of Zelda. Ha ha. I guess I should be reflecting on my high school experience, the friends I'm gonna miss when they leave for college & whatever, how sad I'm gonna be when *I* leave for college (although I probably won't be for a while), and other sentimental stuff like that. Hmmm. But in all honesty, I feel like it's all whatever. It's like, "Oh, you're going? Alrighty, it was nice knowing you. See ya!" Maybe I accept things too quickly or I just don't accept them at all. I'm not quite sure. But oh well. The only thing I'm kinda upset about is that only my Mom will be there when I graduate. Dad got injured so he can't even walk, and all my other family & relatives live kinda far away. Although one of my friends has her dad & 5 uncles flying in from Florida, which is like, four times farther from where my relatives live. But it's not like I'm complaining or anything. Out loud, anyway.
*veers off subject* I have an idea for a layout for Musogato.com, and I think I'll get started on it next week. Because, ya know, I won't have school to keep me busy. Mwa ha ha. But I'm torn between either having it a Graduation layout or a home-town/summery layout. I think the latter would be easier to make, especially since I already have the pictures and know how I want it to be laid out. Ohh, but the graduation layout would be so cute. It would feature my adorable Graduation Bear for sure. ^-^ But how it would be laid out, it would look just like all of my previous layouts. And I kinda wanted to get away from that. Maybe I'll save that layout for September, when all the students go to school and I can flaunt that I'm not in k-12 school anymore. I'm a lazy blob waiting to get a job to pay for college! Ah yes. So much to brag about. -_-;
May 25, 2003 : 9:14 pm
No sightings of Tobey, although the new Matrix movie was pretty good. It seemed kinda.... dragged out, though, like they were trying to make most of the scenes much longer as if to fill up time. Maybe it's just me.
May 25, 2003 : 10:17 am
This is my new layout, and can you believe it! It *actually* looks good in both resolutions of 800x600 & 1024x768! ^_^ I'm so proud of myself. I worked an entire day straight trying to make it good in both resolution sizes, and it finally payed off. Congratulate me! ^-^;
In other news, no personal sightings of Tobey have been reported, but a later viewing of Matix Reloaded has been scheduled so keep those fingers crossed. Read the full report later tonight @ 11.
