About Layout
This layout is version 1 of the new site name (before was Sashiburidesu.. -_-;). Welcome to the rebirth! :D Currently there isn't really much interesting shit, but hey, I can't figure anything out really and just plain do not care. :p>


Current Tune: I am Sailormoon! (BSSM)

Yeah.... that song woke me up this morning, or should I say, "woke me up." I figured since it was Sunday it would be the only day that I allow myself to actually sleep in till noon. My alarm went off at 9:20 ish, the time I usually start attempting to wake up, and I simply turned it off. hahaaa.

I've been a busy person this weekend (in a sense I guess...). My friend Liz asked if I would make her a wallpaper, and since I love making wallpapers (and my buddy, course I like you too) I said I would. So, she sent me the image with Hope in bandages, which was B&W. I colored it in Photoshop (it would be easier to make a wallpaper in color, or at least for my simple mind...) which took two days (in hours it probably took me only three hours, but I kept on getting up and wandering away... :p). The wallpaper only took me about 30 minutes to make. I personally think it is "so-so" but Liz LOVES it. Yay! I also started making another layout for the blog, I am thinking about switching it to another server so I can store images in an account. It was so much easier when I had a domain. -_-; haahaa, maybe when I get the new computer someday (hopefully this summer) I can do a domain for my last year in high school. :D~ har har har.

I've started reading another book, however was flipping through it last night and found that pages 28 and 29 are missing. I mean, it goes from "and I raised my dagger to stab--" then the next page is missing, then on page 30 "so we sailed the ship" type deal. T_T arrrgh. Can't really get a refund since my parents have had that book for a long time (I checked the publication date and it said 1920, although it doesn't mean that the book was MADE then). I had a weird dream because of the book... I think someone's fanfiction also messed my mind up (since I dreamed in English that makes no sense). Aaaaaauuuuuggggghhh.

Current Tune: none

How can I already have a tune stuck in my head if I just woke up? ^_^ YAY!!! Okay, i went to ff.net to see if anyone had read our newest fanfiction, The Pyro of Notre Dame" and we got 6 reviews! I mean, our last story we only got one, and that was a friend. -_-; It didn't really count, I mean, "O.o"... -_-;

I haven't really wanted to update the blog lately, it reminds me that I made a layout for it and such, but just don't want to cut up the HTML. I know, I am lazy and stupid since I can't really figure it out. I have a pretty good idea about what to do about it, however... yeah. I've mostly been making wallpapers, I'm now up to 4, 2 I've made this week. Leigh came over yesterday and since she was late I just sat there designing a wallpaper with an image from X/1999 (yay CLAMP!) for I guess an hour. O_o; It didn't feel like an hour!! -_-; argh. Anyway, yay!!! People reviewed it!! *jumps for joy!*

Current Tune: When Two Become One (Spice Girls) (fucking yaoi fics)

To show how completely different Leigh and myself are I show you:
i am crawford of schwarz

You are the cold, calm, and collected undisputed leader of Schwarz. You're an American and tend to be 20 flights of stairs ahead of the enemy. it's hard NOT to be ahead of everyone when you can see the immediate future. You dislike a lot, disagree a lot with the actions of your emotionally-driven, hotheaded, vengeful team mates. You're determined and will not let anything stand in your way of cleansing society, especially Weiß. The bad thing is? You are probably the biggest ass of the whole anime/manga. You don't care about anybody really, you basically use everyone to get to your goal, and the only reason why you are leader is because everyone's scared shitless of you. People either hate or love you...that is OKAY with you though, because you still get a few more fangirls than Farfarello & it's all due to the fact that you are one hot bastard.
What member of Schwarz are you?

I don't see how that is possible... I mean, it is Leigh... *rolls eyes* By the way, our new imaginary friend Hgiel says "Hi" to a certain special someone, hoping you understand the evils of our friendship (i.e. that you shouldn't really talk to us when Leigh and I are are each other). ahh, poop smells.

Current Tune: Destiny (Fushigi Yugi)

Another "interesting" day in the life of Anne. I woke up at 6:15 this morning for no reason and heard my Mom asking my Dad if he had heard me come home yesterday night. Okay, I went into my parents room, shook my Mom who jumped in surprise and said, "Mom, I'm home!" yet she doesn't remember. -_-; Anyway, I went back to bed, still adjusting to my goal of going to bed before 2 A.M., and woke up around 11 this morning. -_-; My goal is to start waking up around 9:30 A.M. again. I BLAME YOU LEIGH!!! *shakes fist*

In other news I actually finished reading A Secret Garden. The movie and the book were different, however I enjoyed the book much more. There was no real "villian" in the book, which was enjoyable. I also enjoyed seeing Colin and Mary turn from spoiled little brats into nice little kids. At first you just want to slap Mary across the face! Good development, all in all I give it three out of four stars.

It's that time of the year when my wrist starts going funny again. I don't know, I seriously messed up my wrists somehow. Call it magic (heheee, The Secret Garden...:p) or call it "I seriously messed them up somehow," but the right one hurts. I wrapped it in cardboard, haahaa, to try and keep it from moving. I wonder when the other wrist will start acting up....

In other news Leigh and I made a fanfiction!! We were inspired by A Little Princess by Frances Hodgeson Burnett, however basing the fanfic off the movie, and Escaflowne. :p We made two chapters today, oooh it was fun! I can't wait to write more! I have a feeling Leigh and I will make lots and lots of paraodies. :p

Current Tune: Over and Over (Every Little Thing)

I'm pretty dang good at guessing song titles... erm.. *coughs* Anyway.... today I actually woke up around 9:30 AM cause I got to go downtown with some buddies!! Firstly, I wanted to take the bus downtown since I don't know the exits well enough.. erm... heehee, but of course the park and ride was full! Argh! So, Kayla and Leigh voted that I just drive (it's not like they had to remember the exits and crap...). But yay! I found it (it was the way back I was actually worrying about...). So, I bought July's issue of Ribon at the Japanese bookstore then Kayla wanted to wander around the Asian food store. -_-; She really enjoyed looking at all the dead sea food. I convinced her that she needed to try anko and mochi. How come HARDLY any of my friends like it!? argh! I love anko, my beloved anko!!! Kayla didn't really enjoy it, argh, so she had me eat 3/4 of hers, plus I had to eat mine. O_o;

After I got fat and dropped my manga off in the car we wandered some more. ^_^ More dead sea critters (Kayla, I wonder about you..) and her asking me what was what. ^_^ Meanwhile, Leigh the sourpuss wasn't really happy to be awake before noon. -_-; Ah well, it was fun! We went back into the bookstore and they had the first book of FULLMOON WO SAGASHITE!!! Aaaaaahhh, Tanemura Arina-sama.... So, after much self resistance I made it out of the store without buying something else (self-torture, *cries*). We decided to go home afterwards and guess what!! I didn't get lost! When I called my Mom at work she commented that I was a "big girl." -_-; hahaaa, very funny Mom. I babysat tonight, which was interesting. I played football, dodgeball (until I kinda kicked the soccer ball when we switched to kicking and hit the kid in the head... O_o;;;;;;;), and baseball. I freaked out when I did that! I was sooo worried!! I kept on asking him if he was okay every 2 minutes, constantly checking his head, etc. -_-; I am a horrible human being. sigh. Oh well, it's not like I babysit that often (anne is looking towards where the real money is, a real job!). ^_^ Still, saiten da ne, watashi wa... -_-;

Current Tune: Daria (Cake)

I at least think that is the song's title... they keep on saying it over and over and over. This computer is being evil. I tried to edit some of my entries for this account, however it kept on switching over to the other blog. -_-; Hopefully this entry will not be added onto that page *shakes fist*

Anyway, I've been working on a layout. I don't know what to do with it. It is very blue and flowery. I think that i should just add the title. I am going to try and re-teach myself HTML, cause the programs are evil. Perhaps I will do that with the next webpage, I just want to get the other one out. What other one? The fanfiction site (the sailormoon one from like 2 years ago). boo hoo. Why the heck should I waste all our effort that Liz and I put into it! RIGHT LIZ!? Oh, now, go, walk out the the door, just turn around, you're not welcome anymore.... heehee. Me and designing crap has come a long way, however when I look at other peoples work I feel like shit. I should be proud of myself, I guess. argh.

When I was coloring Liz's picture she made me for my b-day :) I was listening to some J-pop on the computer and working in Adobe photoshop when I tried to move the picture over and the computer froze. After cursing on my part when I couldn't fix it I hit the button to re-start the computer. So, I was sitting there, "dou dou dou" when I turned the computer back on and I got a black screen with the power saving light on. ARGH! So, I had no computer yesterday until the wonderfully amazing Josh saved the day! Yay Josh! You and your wonderful Mac powers!

Nicole just IM me and said that we need a Fushigi Yugi fest sometime this summer... last time we did one of those her parents were determined that I was melting their daughters mind with that "anime crap." argh.

Current Tune: That Thing You Do (The Wonders)

I should seriously stop reading fanfiction. I don't know.... I can't stop!!! Why me!?!?!? Currently I just read one of Youjibaracuda's fanfictions on Escaflowne. I want to know what happens!!!! *slaps self upside head* Stop reading fanfictions!! Stop I say!!!

Today is going to be another day of boringness, but hey, I am not complaining. I should write letters... eh. I have about 10 letters to write, 7 of them in Japanese. -_- I am getting so lazy when it comes to writting in Japanese. Evil Anne. I stayed up and watched a movie called Walking Across Egypt with Leigh's "beloved" in it. :p I must resist... fanfictions... *slowly looses battle and quickly forgets about letters* -_-;;;

I woke up around 10 AM this morning after having a horrible dream. O_o; I usually don't remember dreams but this one was freaky. I was still in Japan during my exchange program and I suddenly got a call saying that Mark had been killed by a drunk driver and was dead! I remember crying and crying in my dream, thinking how bright and his dreams in life. T_T I think I almost woke up crying. Curse you sad ending!! CURSE YOU!!! (anne watched cruel intentions yesterday, ending messed with her mind)

Current Tune: nothing

sigh. My internet connection is being stupid at the moment meaning I can not read fanfictions. I don't know, I have been obsessing with them lately. I started Girl With a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier. A girl in my English class did her book presentation on it when i first got back and I have wanted to read it since. Thus far I am only on page seven but I really like it thus far. *^_^*

I actually cleaned my room (to a certain extent). It is really boring. bah. I went to my friend Michelle's house and watched some movies. We watched the re-make of Cruel Intentions; also, we watched Hope Floats. The ending to cruel intentions was soooo sad. Michelle said when she saw it for the first time she cried. T_T Hope Floats I haven't seen in years and forgot the most of it. :p Ah well.

I actually dropped off the job application today. The lady I handed it to was not exactly friendly. grr. Perhaps I should go get some more job applications.... eh. I don't know, I do not really like walking up to someone, in this case an employee, and asking for a job application. Some might be happy that you want a job there, others feel that you are going into their territory and become dog like. bah. cursed be the day, burn the republic. (anne is thinking back to her French Revolution study days). sigh.

Current Tune: No Need to Promise (Escaflowne)

*fake cries* Ahhhh! I actually read a fanfiction tonight! It is so rare that I actually read fanfictions anymore, sadness. The story was sooo good! Ah, hime-chan, hurry and finish your Escaflowne fanfiction!!!

Yesterday I went downtown to the public market with Caitlin. It was so much fun! There are some crazy people down there, and crazy shops too. I spent the night at Caitlin's, geez I haven't eatten that much in sooo long (anne is on this "diet", if you can call it that). ^_~ We had STAR WARS FEST, an idea which kept me going during finals. It was fun, we didn't get through all the old ones yet *sniff*. I swear there had to be like only 30 minutes left in Return of the Jedi before it was done! 30 more minutes! But I had to go meet my Dad at his work so I could get a ride home (he works down there where Caitlin lives... area... thingy). -_-; Anyway.. my Mom is doing better, yay!! I guess she cracked her ribs and the doctors also found slight case of arthrities (spelling??) in her back as well as a part of it had been cracked earlier. -_-; Poor Mommy. She is going to a Quilt Show in Oregon for the weekend subjecting Noah and myself to my Dad's cooking (which means, Noah and I are fending for ourselves for 4 days). -_-; tired. I am going to meet Michelle tomorrow, drop off my job application, and have fun (hopefully) for a little while. It's been awhile since I have seen her (well, the last day of school). T_T Sadness. Yay Michelle, we are doing something or other tomorrow!! :D

Current Tune: Let Me Be With You (Chobits OP)

Blah. I hate driving. I just got home and had to drive home with all the crazy weekend drivers on the road, passing me for doing the speed limit (anne, the law follower). -_-; Anyway, this weekend was pretty interesting....

Wednesday : I picked my Mom up around 6ish at the park-and-ride and we headed out to the ferry, my Mom driving. Leigh and I got bored and decided to draw pictures. Very interesting. We had Subway for dinner, went to the ferry dock and waited in line for a little over an hour (drawing again, bwhaahaa). We got the house around 10:30ish and were unloading the car in the dark and Leigh walked out of the house and shut the door. Of course, it was locked. -_-; I got yelled at, I blamed Leigh, my Mom walked to our neighbors (happened not to be there), Dad glared at me. -_-; My Mom finally found some keys and we got in, us laughing at Leigh the whole rest of the trip about it.

Thursday : Leigh and I did not want to get up for the 10 A.M. parade so instead ended up watching Anime all day. It is illegal to have fireworks on the island so couldn't do those. Around 10:20 the firework show started in town, fun fun fun. The actual finale did not happen until 45 minutes after everyone left, haa. I guess at the start a firework went into the bunker where the dudes were, seriously messing up the wiring to the finale. ha.

Friday: ... we went to the beach and into town, once more wondering what teenagers do on that island. My Dad went back to "mainland" since he had to work on Saturday. I painted, we watched movies. fun.

Saturday : movies, food, beach, played with the doors, talked with neighbors... at night however my Mom came inside and was telling Leigh and myself to turn off the lights so the bugs would not get in (Leigh and I were playing safari) and twisted her ankle, fell on the dog who moved causing her to fall into the mower on her ribs. She is in pain, probably bruised them. T_T

Sunday : Because of mommie's ouchies I had to drive home for 2 hours straight (plus the sitting on the island for 5 hours). Wow, fun day.

Current Tune: Song for XX (Ayumi Hamasaki)

Well, well, well. I guess I should be packing, but the sheer joy of last minute is the goal for which I am reaching (did that make sense to you?). My parents, Leigh, and myself are going to our "weekend house" for the 4th of July, wehaw. That island is so scary. All the neighbors know each others secrets, there is no escaping it.... no where to hide... Leigh and I want to go "cow tippin'" but my Mom has no sense of humor about that. -_-; I mean, they are just outside our property. We can go to the frozen waters of the great northwest. Beaches up there are made of rocks. -_-; Last time Leigh and i went there we ended up playing baseball with rocks and I got hit in the face. It was sort of hilarious, we got into Escaflowne mode and I was rubbing my chin saying, "chin, chin, chin, chiiiiiinnnnn..." Leigh:"Anne... I don't think you should do that.." Anne:"DO YOU KNOW MY PAIN!?!" haahaa, good times.

I convinced Phil that he needed to go with me to the soccer registration... place.. thingy. The location was quite funny, it scared Phil. :p I mean, country villiage *blah*. We then went to the library and found some comic for summer reading, the bad guy being "Dr. Blah" and one of the SuperHeros is checking the other one out (Phil informed me it is "SuperReader"). We photocopied it for my enjoyment. We then went to the store to get some food for the trip. Turns out one of the milk things were broken so Phil placed it amongst the cookies and got another one. -_-; At home we watched some Jerry Springer (as Phil said, "The American heartland")(that and there wasn't anything else on), then Kiki's Delivery Service, with Harry the molester. -_-; Phil, you need to get out and away from your computer.

So, see you later (won't really have any adventure stories when I get back, it is boring as hell up there).

Current Tune: Maria (Ayumi Hamasaki)

Blaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh. Utter pain. Suffering... dieing. Stomach... hurts. My brother sent me a link to the wedding picture page, a webpage I said that I would make. Arrrgh. I was really mad at him for doing that, however there are only three pictures on it at the moment. Noah informed me I looked stupid in the picture since I am all tense, however at least I wore real shoes to the wedding. grumble grumble.

So, I haven't really been able to find the place where the soccer office location is. I don't get why they erased me from the database when i go to Japan for a year, and Katie's brother hadn't played for three years and he is still in there. argh. they don't like me. I am trying to get a friend to go with me (so if I get lost I am not completely doomed). It took me an hour to find a library once, I called the house three times, looked at a map, frusterated, annoyed, then looked up and saw signs leading to library. -_-; my finest hour ladies and gentlemen. I am suppose to go down the hill to the local library and get some books I reserved but I don't really want to go. blah. I can go tomorrow. They are watercolor books, drools. I am excited about them, just don't want to leave the house feeling and looking like this. IT IS SUMMER AND I LOOK LIKE CRAP!!! :D~

My Mom is yelling at the cellphone company at the moment. go mom. I guess they are charging us all these hidden charges and she is annoyed that there is dead air everyone in this state. She is going to drop the plan I guess (anne tries to figure out which brother it is...). Ah, the trials of having 5 brothers.

Current Tune: Take My Heart (Little Princess movie)

Well, another boring day in the life of Anne. -_- I woke up around 11:30 ish this morning/afternoon, kinda stayed up until 1 AM ish on the internet. ^_~ I walked into my parents room, all cheery, and said to the dog, "goodmorning sierra! Let's go downstairs!" but the dog continued laying on my parents bed, making me wonder if the bed smells badly of dog. So, I shrugged that off and went downstairs to find the dog had gone "dumpster diving" and left her remains on the floor. Have to admit, the dog is smart to stay away when she knows she did something wrong. -_-

After breakfeast/lunch meal, I commenced to watch TV (after some more internet). Baaaaaah. I found this one network where they follow expectant families around until the... gag... mircle of birth happened. Try that for an hour, feels wrong, blaaa. Then I watched an hour of wedding fun, gave me that warm fuzzy feeling inside. aww. Leigh came over and we finished watching A Little Princess. Haahaaaa. It is amusing. "Smack, thump, Ah! *points index finger up*" haahaaa, highly amusing. Also, "Tell me what you believe in," "I believe you should SHUT UP." Leigh and I are highly amused when it comes to movies. haahaa.

I actually started some research today for college. My favorite it still Carleton but my Mom wouldn't let me apply early. She wants to know more about the school first. -_-; I guess when I think about it... it seems smart. -_- bah. I just want to get into college.

Sadness. My friend sent me a link to a drawing of hers and it kicks mines butt. I must make a website for my drawings sometimes, however much they suck. Just look at this, arrrrrrrrggggh. *crawls away and dies*

Well... we have a new computer in the house, however it is not a keeper. We are actually borrowing my brothers Mac, in hopes that we will see the almighty power and not buy a PC with the money we have to get a new computer. ah.

Megumi went back to Japan. T_T I've been hanging out around the house, moping about. sigh. boring life. I alphabetized all my CD's the day that she left, show how lonely I was?

Went with my brother and Mom today to see Minority Report which was... erm... interesting, yes. sigh. sooo.... I guess I will call Leigh (want to finish my layouts for the webpage).

Current Song:

i am nagi of schwarz

You're the "baby" of schwarz. You lived a pretty fuxked up childhood just like your teammates. However, it didn't quite make you as psychotic and bitter as the rest of Schwarz. You are generally good-natured and mild-mannered. You're shy, reserved, innocent, and quiet... you also seem to be in love with a psycho girl who is 2yrs your senior. The downfall? You are way too much like Omi...minus the excess tears. You are not only a wuss but highly indecisive and Bradley basically plots your life chart for you. Stop angsting and grow a backbone my boy...
What member of Schwarz are you?

Current Song: I will Survive (cake)

I am somewhat nervous about going to the community college today. I know for a fact I will get lost in trying to find the room. -_- I had issues filling out the registration for the college... err.. oops. I like the last week of school, it is fun, very fun indeed. Other than in history our teacher actually had us watch a movie and do a video question guide. O_o; My brain does not function anymore.

Megumi made me a traditional... in a sense.... Japanese lunch! I brought my lunchbox in my Miffy wrap sack to school, however left it in the car since I am going to Leigh's high school to go to Game Club to waste some time before my meeting. ^_^ <-- very excited about my lunch. arrrrrgh. I feel stupid that I don't understand the registration papers... will look at website quickly.....
