Hi there. I am Jade. This is my blog. I usually don't write stuff that's very important. But you are
welcome to read it, if you have time to waste. Come check out my website! It's so pretty! ^^

I suddenly realized that this is the last few days of November, and the start of Winter. That means I need to make new layouts for my website and this blog. Well actually, I already made a new layout for this place last week, so I guess it's only my website that needs work. *pouts* I really like my current Musogato.com layout. It's very... autumn-y and cool looking. ^-^ I like it lots, but I only made two updates during its reign. Which actually is pretty good, considering how often I usually update things. Website-wise, of course. Blogs are easy-- they don't require much work. Websites on the other hand, are completely different. Layouts, writings, artwork, and basic good effort is enough to make a overly-lazy person like myself want to give it all up. Why do I even bother writing? It takes me ages to finish anything. ... Oh wait, I remember why now. I write because I like the satisfaction it gives me. If I don't write, my arms feel like they're going to explode. And if I still don't write, I eventually forget what the idea is and I feel awful because I didn't write it down. *suddenly explains why there's little notecards everywhere* But maintaining a website is still a lot of work for me. Maybe if I managed my time better, or I wasn't so damn friggin' lazy, I could update my site more often. I guess I can try improving myself on that. But why am I bringing all this up on Thanksgiving? Because I'm weird and pointless, that's why. Oh, and on another note, that new song I heard on MTV that I really like, is called "Don't know why" by Norah Jones. Very kewl, like it lots. ((hint hint)) |

Today has been a pretty nice day so far. Relaxed, laid back, and filled with family, tv, and the smell of a cooking turkey. *gasp!* Oh no, I said the T-word! *sighs* I'm sorry, but I can fight the good fight no longer. Turkeys are just too damn good not to eat. Besides, tofu turkeys are just not right. They're squishy goo-ness is sick and wrong!! >_<; But other than that, today is a good day. I'm thankful to be where I am right now. At home with my family with plenty food to celebrate with. I'm lucky, and I'm realizing this more and more than before. Everything happens for a reason, and I know that this blessing is not without meaning. So, for whatever this reason is, I acknowledge that it's there and I'm thankful for it. Yup. |

Oh my. Another count down has begun; only 6 days until Thanksgiving! Despite this nice holiday, I can feel the turkey population declining rather quickly. *sobs* The poor little thangs! Just remember that they have feelings too! Or at least they did before you bought them from the store and placed them in the oven! Like I never say, don't be a vegetarian because you like animals, be a vegetarian because you hate plants! ^_^;; Ahhh, I love the weekends. They make me feel so happy and silly-like. I wish everyday could be a part of the weekend. Well, actually, I don't. If it was, than it would be exactly like a vacation and I would not complete a single thing. Which reminds me, I need to finish coloring my "Taisetsu na Mushi Shou!" comic. I also should start working on chapter 3 to my Curse of the Miasma fic. ((which no one has reviewed, hint hint)). Anyway, nothing else is really new. Wait... *thinks* Yup, there's nothing new. I have a really nice song stuck in my head, but unfortunately I don't know whom it is that sings it, or what the song is for that matter. I know it's the new Buzzworthy song that plays on MTV every morning, but I can't seem to remember the artist's name. I tried doing research at mtv.com, but it didn't work. Oh well, that's okay. I'll wait till Monday when they play the music videos again, and hopefully the Buzzworthy pick will play. Because other than that, I really do have nothing else to say. Good night! |

Only five more weeks until Christmas. *pauses* Need I say more? *^___^* |

I am starting to doubt the career choices that I'm thinking of going into. I want to be financially stable, but I don't want to be stuck in some boring office job. You know what I heard? I heard that people with boring office jobs die much sooner than people without a boring office job. Of course that survey had to minus health problems and certain job risks, but still! I don't want to be another mindless drone in a suit and have practically every day be like every other day. Nu-uh, I don't want my life to be a routine obligation. So I guess this means I should take another long look at my choices. But I'm not really sure what exactly I want to go in to! I have some ideas, but they're all spread out in different directions, and if I combined everything and placed it under an 85-foot Snowman hotel roof, people would never visit me! -sobs- Why can't I be an astronomer/writer/cafe waitress/Nintendo game tester/Japanese manga translator/web designer/blackjack dealer?!! *takes a deep breath then exhales* Yes, I want to be all these things. But can I? Can I really do all of these careers? My school counselor doesn't seem to think so. She says that I should 'choose one or two that I'm *really* interested in, and then go for it.' "But I'm interested in *all* of it! I want to do everything! And I'm sure I can, too!" I say. She looks at me like I have a bug on my nose, then mumbles something about the next student she needs to talk to. We haven't spoken since. That was almost two years ago. I'm getting closer to that 'go off to college' point, and even though I'm going to take a year off to gain residence (You bet! Residence = less $$$), I still feel a bit worried. Although bringing this whole topic up right before I'm suppose to do my homework wasn't exactly a smart thing to do either. But then again I always did have bad timing. Hmm, maybe I shouldn't go into blackjack dealing after all. I might bring the players bad luck. Well okay then, I guess I could scratch that off my career list. Joy. |

I'm dreaming of a crunchy Butterfingers... with chocolate crispy cookie chunks... *continues to sing in an off-key tone* I kinda noticed that when I'm sick, I talk about the wierdest things. Actually, I noticed that I noticed this and it surprised me that I noticed it. x_X? I got to stay home today because of my stupid flu. Which was okay, because I didn't have any important classes. Well, except for Economics, but oh well. I do, however, have very important classes tomorrow, and so I'm a little worried. If I have a fever tomorrow like I did today along with the other boring flu symptoms, I'm going to have to stay home again. Which would be perfectly fine with me, if I didn't have that giant newspaper project to go over with Brooke in English (which is due on Monday), the Japanese Club meeting at lunch and my Japanese class in general (it's the ONLY class I have that I really like), and... well, actually that's it. But it's still a lot. *sighs* I don't know. But in more happier news, I have started writing a new story! Actually, I'm reviving a story that I started back in 2000. I abandoned it because of a major lack of focus in the plot development. (I had the beginning and the ending completely figured out, but for the actual 'journey from beginning to end' I was stumped.) But Anyway, I've been thinking about the story lately, and I've decided to give it another try. This time, I honestly plan to finish it. I have already re-written the first two chapters, and have posted them both at Fanfiction.net, and at my website. You can see the Curse of the Miasma home page here. ^_^ |

I had a dream last night that I was in a hotel room in Tokyo, playing Hanafuda (an Asian flower card game) with some of the people in my class. Then we were walking down the street at night, and all the lights reminded my of Seattle. We went into a cool-looking resturant, but then somehow we ended up on one of those bullet-trains. Then I woke up in my Math class. (still a part of the dream.) I guess I was speaking in Japanese, because I couldn't figure out why everyone was giving me funny looks when I talked to them. Hmm... After that I dreamed that I was working as a cashier at my local Cheveron gas station. I was really good at it too, I was all friendly and stuff and my math skills were samurai-sword sharp, but then a middle-aged guy came in and tried robbing the place. How stupid is that?!? What kind of moron tries to knock over a gas station? I mean, it's not like it would be chock-full of cash; people only go in to buy junk food and cigarettes! Would tobacco count as junk food? I know it's not food, but it certainly isn't good for you. Anyways, I was talking like this to the robber guy. It seemed to confuse him as to why I wasn't "quivering in fear" when he pulled out a gun. I mean really. A gun? Please. He's knocking over a gas station for chump change, so why on earth would he want to add a murder to his charge? That's just a robbery gone horribly wrong, not to mention all the jail time he'd have to do. Oh, and the fact that I'd be, ya know, dead. That's not good. So anyway, I just kept on blabbing away to him, slowly taking money out of the register. There wasn't much in there, but I was... what's the word? Oh right, I was stalling him, so the cops could get here sooner. I don't actually remember pressing a 'help-I'm-being-robbed' button, so maybe I alerted them telepathically or something. LOL! Anyway, the robber's getting impatient so I ask him if he wants quarters along with the cash. He gives me one of those "Are you serious?" kind of looks. Then I explain about the damn school busses who practically demand that the {$d_entry}.25 fee be in quarters, not in smaller change like nickles, or better yet, pennies. Still giving me that funny look, I go on into how I know that he's married and has kids by listing observations I noticed within a first glance (like his wedding ring). Oh yes. In dreams, I am a super-sleuth. No doubt about it. But anyway, the robber guy finally gets fed up with my non-stop talking and demands that the cash and quarters be put into a bag. After I do that (while asking about paper or plastic... How is it that I'm still alive??) he grabs the bag and walks out the door. Just then the cops pull up and one of the cars hits the robber, sending him flying to the other side of the station. Me and some of the other costomers that were inside run outside to see what happened, and then I wake up. **blinks slowly** Hmm... Perhaps this is an omen that I shouldn't work in gas stations, or any cash register jobs? Or maybe I just have weird dreams when i eat too much food. Hmm. |

Ooooooh, only 51 more days till Christmas! Whoa! Why do I bring this up? Well, besides the fact that I'm seeing Christmas commericals and decorations and whatnot almost everywhere I go ((yesss, take your minds off the turkeys --wait! The famous holiday turkey dinner though! Darn it, the turkeys are screwed!)) ... What was I saying? Oh yeah, early Christmas. Ummm, yeah. Woo-hoo! Christmas is almost here! That means it's only 48 days or so until my month off from school! 0_0!!! An entire MONTH?! Yup. ^__^ I was going to say something else as well, but the winter break realization made me forget. Oh well. |

Oooh, a new layout that is *actually* on time! wow! I know, it's the same style as last months, but I like this style. I like 'em simple. Much easier to make than the complex ones. Especially when the main design is already there, lol! All I had to do was make the background and find a turkey and alter the colors a bit, and boom. All done. ^^ And yes, I do realize that this could also be considered a form of plagerism if I did this from someone else's layout. But I didn't, so there. :P In other news, I updated my website, surprise surprise. One new midi (Rainyday Man, yum!) and two new things for art (including this background). That's about it. I have some new writings, but they're only half done and I don't have enough motivation and inspiration to finish 'em. So they'll sit in my notebook for a few more weeks before I finally complete them. Just thought I'd let ya know. Oh, and do remember, SAVE THE TURKEYS! ...the poor dears... |

=^_____^= You know what I love better than a Friday? Watching the Spider-Man movie, of course! And do you know what I love even more than watching that movie on a Friday? Well duh, it's watching it from my living room! *sudden thought* oOo! I can even watch it from my computer! ((^-^)) Ha ha, cool. Although, once I slip one of them DVDs into my comp, The Evil Microsoft corp will know I'm watching it. Not that they would really care, but it's still a violation of my privacy. **realizes that you readers don't know what the heck I'm talking about** I had a big debate today in my Economics class about Microsoft. Me and two other students represented the Government, and there were three other groups: Microsoft, the Consumers, and the "other" Software Companies. It went really great, although after I did all that research for this debate I felt somewhat sick. Microsoft is scary, both the people and their shabby products. Even if they pull in billions of billions of dollars every year, I still think they're shabby. Boooo! Well anyway, we the government and the others as the software company totally crushed the poor souls who chose to defend the Evil Empire. The ones who represented the Consumers actually *sided* with Microsoft! 0_0! I don't think they did enough research. But we the government sure did! In fact, we won the debate. We didn't get anything except a really good grade. I'm especially happy with that, since my previous grade wasn't that stellar. But it sure is now! ^_^ |
