For the past few months I've felt very... I don't know, not motivated I guess, when it came to writing, drawing, thinking and anything else that comes with the creative process. I wouldn't say that I had writer's block, but more like I had no desire whatsoever to work on any of my stories & etc. And quite honestly I still don't. (This explains the lack of content updates for my website). Because of the fact that Fanfiction.net has been down for over 2 days (very evil indeed. MUST get Spider-Man fix! Need... must read... S-M fics... **sob**) and for some other unknown reasons, I am beginning to feel my creative juices flow again. YAY! Very happy. I have been thinking of writing a new story for Jade*Island which is good since I haven't updated the place since that Lipgloss Mastermind story. (Which wasn't really *that* long ago. Oh crap, I still have to write Act Two for that fic. Neh...) Actually, the new story I'll soon-to-write is based on an old semi-story I wrote a LONG time ago (but like always) dropped it as soon as something else came to mind. I lose SO many stories like that... Anyway, I also have an idea for a new layout as well, but it may require Macromedia flash, or at least an image map. I'll have to study up on that before actually starting the layout.

Speaking about layouts, I have just finished a new layout for this blog. It's very... July-like. :) I'm not sure when I'll upload it. I'm still trying to fix it so it looks okay in both 800x600 and 1024x768. Right now it looks kinda funny but okay in both sizes. Meh. It was originally going to fit only 1024x768 which looked incredibly cool, (this layout uses DIV positioning) but it looked horrible in 800x600. Because I felt guilty (and mad. Major "GRRRRR!" at all you 800x600 people) I completely changed the layout of the layout so that there was a smaller margin of error that occurs for all the different computer screen resolution sizes. So, now it fits kinda okay in both main resolutions. Whoopee.

That's about it. Still nothing really new for Musogato, but I might start a comic. Not sure. But definitely new stuff for Jade*Island, and sometime soon. Look forward to it. :)

New layout for Musogato.com. It's very nice for summer. You can see it here. It may take a few moments to load though. But the upside for this layout is that it looks nicely in both 800x600 and 1024x768. Yay!

My head hurts. Hair clip too tight. Pulling hair out of head. But it's too hot to have hair down. So mildly suffer I must. But that's okay. Yu Yu Hakusho comes on tonight, along with Cowboy Beebob and maybe Outlaw Star. ^__^ Suddenly my head doesn't hurt as much. Must go help with dinner now. Click-clock.

I make mistakes. I make *really* stupid mistakes. That's supposed to happen though, right? I'm *suppose* to make stupid mistakes that annoy the hell out of everyone around me, because when I'm older and on my own, I'll know better. Right?! Yes. That is right. I'm supposed to make stupid mistakes, as long as I learn from them. All right then. Thank you.

**in sweet little girl voice** Guess what, mommy! Today, I learned that if I leave your car on so that I can listen to the stereo for 40 minutes, the battery will go dead! **back to normal voice** Isn't that nice.

The job at the movie theater doesn't look like it's going to work out. I talked to one of the guys who worked there (he was a senior at my school last year. Actually, most of the people who were there went to my school in the past two years.) Anyway, he said that after I fill out the application and give it to the manager, it'd take a few weeks for them to process it, then send out for my interview, then a few weeks later they'd tell me if I got the job. By then my summer will be over!! >:[ I don't want to wait that long. So instead, I was thinking maybe I'd try my luck at Denny's or perhaps one of the many local ocean-side cafes. That might be nice. I don't want to stay cooped up in some stuffy air-conditioned theater all day and be forced to converse with the staff while we wait for customers. *Especially* with people who use to go to my school. Hell, no.

Last week Thursday I got my Spider-Man game for the N64. We bought it off Ebay. It's a really fun game, although since we don't have a controller pak yet, every time I turn the game off it loses all my data and high scores. But that's okay, unless I got to a high level. Which happened on Thursday right before dinner. But even that is okay, since I finished the game on Friday. ^_^ I'm still playing it though, and trying to find all those secret items. Now that I know how to use all the different web attacks, it should be more fun this time. It figures that I'd figure out how to do the web attacks at the very end of the game! I heard that the new Spider-Man game, the one based on the movie that's being made for all the systems except the N64 has Tobey Maguire voicing Spider-Man! Yee! Makes me want to just run out to Blockbuster and rent a PS2 just to play the game. But I'm broke. Maybe I'll do that when I get a job?

Um...... yeah.

Well, it's been another quiet, peaceful, summer afternoon. >_< As nice as it is, all this calmness is causing my laziness to work overtime. I haven't even *started* working on any new stories for my site. Hell, I haven't even brought any out of their storage blocks yet! Ugh... This is why I usually don't like Saturdays. In fact, ever since I got out of school it has felt like a never-ending Saturday. Is this why I can't do anything but be lazy?? Maybe I should get a job. **blink blink** Actually, getting a summer job sounds kinda interesting. I've seen ads for help down at the local movie theatre, and receiving a paycheck is rather appealing. I think I'll call them tomorrow! ^_^

Anything else? Oh yes, now I remember. I was updating some little stuff on my site and when I checked out the Stats, you won't believe what I found! People, from all over the world, are visiting Musogato.com and this blog! O.O!!! Like from Mexico, Sweden, Finland, Israel, and even Canada! WOW! I feel so loved. ^_^; So, all you people from around the globe, Thanks for stopping by my little space on the web!

**waves enthusiastically** Hiya Summer Vacation! Can you say Oh YEAH! ^__^ Freedom feels nice, even if it is only for two months or so.

I've been listening to Creed's latest CD-- "Weathered" for most of the day. Even though I got it a few months ago, I haven't really listened to it. But since I saw the "One Last Breath" music video this morning, I've decided to give the CD another chance. It's going good. Other than that, I can't think of anything else to talk about. I'm probably going to stay up tonight and clear out all the crap from school, so that I can start my Summer tomorrow free from any school snags. Sound good? Of course. What I'm actually going to do tomorrow is beyond me, but you know, it's nice to have the school stuff behind me.

Aloha people! Aunt Jade signing off! (he he he)

I've been looking through some old stuff--- old entries over here, my old website (oh gosh), old notebooks and so on. It was weird. Not paranormal weird, or disturbing weird, just... weird. No, "weird" doesn't quite fit the feeling. Seeing all that old stuff gave me an unsettling feeling. Unfortunately I can't think of a vocabulary word that acutely describes what I'm trying to convey, so I guess "weird" will just have to stay. But anyway, seeing all those old writings and stuff made me... kind of disappointed in myself. Sure, my writing skills have increased 10-fold, but... I don't know. Seeing how I was back then and how I am now made me think of all the stuff that I never accomplished. I know what you're thinking: "You're young, you've got plenty of time. Plus, you're silly stories aren't exactly that important." So my stories aren't at the top of my priority list. They're still there, and I'm still ignoring them. I won't live forever. For God's sakes, a car could hit me and that'd be the end! **pauses** The point is, I keep saving stuff for later, and one day, there isn't going to be a later. And the stuff I've been saving will never get done. I know I can't do everything in one day. I'm not saying that I should, and I'm not saying that I'll try to. All I am saying is that I am tired of waiting and saying that it'll be done later. I'm sick of later. I'm doing it, NOW. Whatever the hell it is that I'm going to do, it's going to get done.

So, this is how an epiphany feels. Interesting.

Just finished updating my website. Couple pics, and just re-phrasing a few things. Not much. I want to make a new layout for my main Musogato site. Still in frames, of course, but something more simple, and cleaner. Kinda like the layout for this blog! ^_^; Okay, maybe not. Well... I don't know. I want to work on it now, but I have other things that need to be done, including studying. Oh, and I failed to do my math homework last night. Sue me, I was tired.

But anyway, back to my site. I'm thinking of creating a Rants page. I have a bunch of rants building up inside, so it'd be nice to have a place to just let my opinions out. Not that I wouldn't like doing that over here, but I'd rather do it on my site. Plus, if I made a page for it, I'd be updating my website more often and inspiring me to update other pages as well. And that is always a good thing.

Okay, on to do the chores. And then begin to study for the Finals. Oh yeah, this is going to be a fun day. >_< But wait.... didn't Mom say she wanted to see Spidey-the-Man this weekend? Hmmm, maybe this will be fun after all! =)

Oh, I am so relieved that it is Friday. This has been one *LONG* week... but it's over now, so yay. Yesterday (why does that word look so weird?) I had the 80's Decade project presentation in US History class. It went really well. Me and my group got 295 points out of 300! WOO-HOO! Me happy. Very very happy. Especially since now I'm getting a B+ in that class.

Next week is the last week of school, meaning end-of-year Finals. **moans** Even though I did well on most of my work, I'm still a little worried. I'll have to study a whole lot this coming three days. Four if I count today, but I'm not sure if I'll do any more work tonight. Perhaps some math? Neh... Ugh, okay maybe. I'm going to be a Senior starting June 1st, so maybe I should start acting like it. Wow.... I am going to be a Senior. Hasn't sunk in yet, but it's starting to. LOL. **begins dancing while singing "I'm gonna rule the school" over and over**

This is going to be fun. ^_^

YAY! I'm so proud of myself, this layout looks great! *^__^* The pic at the top might take a few seconds to download, but other than that it's all good. And just in time for the rest of the month, too. Lots of Seniors are graduating this year. Woo-hoo! Even though I won't graduate till next year, I thought I'd congratulate all those who are by making this layout. yee.

This week sure has been going by slowly. But that's okay. ...Even though I haven't really accomplished anything. **shrugs** Anyway, it's been really nice having my sister here. I'm gonna miss her when she leaves. Although I can't blame her, she has to get back to her life, plus, this place is extremely boring. After you do the touristy thing (which lasts about two days) all that's left is driving around, go window-shopping, and..... um.... go to the beach? Oh well. I'll be leaving as well, soon enough. Three cheers for that!

My giant 80's Decade project for History is coming up fast-- my group presents this Thursday! O.O! I better start studying. I have my costume all ready; all I need are some black high heels. I'm a little worried. When the 70's Decade group went last Thursday, they did *really* good. It's definitely going to be a hard act to follow. But everyone in my group has authentic 80's clothes, which should bring our grade up. Heck, it better bring the grade up! The dress I have is white with black polka dots, has a frilly black tutu-thing going around the middle, and shoulder pads. Also comes with black, white, and pink plastic bracelets. -_-; Majorly, atrociously, 80's. I better get a good grade!

Alright, I shall take my leave now. I've been on the computer almost all day, not including last night where I stayed up till 1:30am reading Spidey-Man fics at FanFiction.net. ^_^; I think I need moderation, don't you?
