Current Tune: Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend (Moulin Rouge Soundtrack)
bored. -_- I went to bed around 11:20 ish last night and didn't wake up until noon today. urrrgh, oops. ^_^ I wasn't lying when I said I was tired this week. Major culture shock going back to school. ~_~; I got my math homework done an hour or so ago since Mary called to see if I could babysit tomorrow. :D wee!! Pretty excited about that, as long as I don't have to put the kids to bed I'll be happy. :) (remembering before I went to Japan one of the kids would never go to bed and I would end up calling the parents... ~_~*).
My current mission in life is to stop saying, "fuck" so often. I don't say it *too* much but it's really something I should say at all. ~_~ I'm a teenager afterall. My Mom, obviously, gave me the lecture about how proper young ladies to not use that kind of language. I usually use it when 1) I'm around friends, 2) REALLY mad, 3) Sometimes when I'm alone (and mad), 4) Tired, 5) Driving! I think the worse is when I am driving... ~_~ Emotional fuckwits - I mean - can't think of something else to say... ~_~;;
Luna is being affectionate today. I think that I am scared... What's wrong with that calico cat? Perhaps she took a shit - er, must stop using coarse language - went to the bathroom in my room. Evil cat. I'll find out your motives Luna, just you wait (you and that little dog of yours too!). I think I should go work on one of my fanfics... hmm... that'd be nice. :)
Current Tune: Chim Chim Cheree (Mary Poppins)
Anne was curious... why does she have that song stuck in her head when I haven't watched that movie/listened to the songs in a long time. I think it has to have been at least six years since I last saw/heard it.. ~_~;;
I finished correcting the paper for my friend's friend. Hopefully I didn't mess it up too bad.. ~_~; I've been sitting around waiting for the dude to come fix our garage. I bet if I go to the bathroom he'll show up... grr.
So last night Midnight was very tense and restless, growling a whole lot. We are thinking that a coyote was in our backyard. ARGH. I *hate* coyotes. It's not like I want to kill them and see them all destroyed, I just hate them since they eat cats and vicious little shits if it comes down to it. On X-mas Eve Noah went outside and a skinny one was sitting in our yard, however upon seeing Noah ran away. Noah let the dogs out a minute or two later and Sierra ran like hell to make sure that coyote wasn't in the yard anymore. ~_~ Very worried... I mean, argh. I hate living in the woodsy housing development at times like this. Obviously the coyotes smell cats around our house, or at least that is what I'm thinking. I've been paranoid about letting the cats out... don't want Muffy and Luna (Madeline, Princess, and Cleo never go outside anyway) being coyote-chow. grr. I don't like those critters. ~_~;
Current Tune: Maria (Hitomi)
Finally, my first week at college done. Now I only have about eleven more weeks to go... when I think about it I know how fast time goes but its still depressing thinking that I still have that long. *single tear*
So I learned more about democracy today in Political Science. Got in an arguement with Lee about teledemocracy; she claiming that there are millions of ways that no one can tamper with the system, me claiming that there is always a way. Finally she stopped argueing since I was able to rebuke her arguement. bwhaha. I'm not the youngest for nothing. :)
I think tonight I will actually go to bed instead of surfing the internet... hmm.. *sigh* Freedom. The math homework took forever tonight: 52 problems!! Grr! I absolutely hate the fourth root problems and figuring them out as fraction exponents and such. ~_~ I'm a math idiot, why must I know this? Sleepy.... tomorrow when I get back from school I must proof-read and massacre (hehe, joking) a paper that Ingrid's friend wants me to read. They are under the impression I am good at proof-reading. Course I know she knows the link to this blog. :) What I won't reveal is that I won't even read my own stuff but I can read other peoples (I hate my own work, thus). I play is by ear Ingrid, he'll probably want to proof read it again. ^_^;; *feels bad about lack of skills* sigh. Go call and annoy best buddy. I'm simply adored.
Current Tune: Futari no Gomen ne (Excel Saga)
I thought I was going to bed... hm.... shit. -_-; Just thought I would post to show I say one thing and mean another. ~_~;;
Current Tune: On Your Mark (Chage and Aska)
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge (hey, I shouldn't swear, never know what age group will be stumble upon this). Wait... I realize I always swear. ~_~ Oh well. I'm really tired all the sudden. Today I actually took a two hour long nap before I went to Japanese class, amazing, no? I have dark lines under my eyes from lack of sleep, grr. Compared to my friends I am getting a fair amount of sleep. On Sunday and Monday night though I wasn't able to fall asleep until about 12:30 ~ 1 a.m. grr. Last night I was in bed by 10:30 though. Arrrgh. Winter break messed up my body clock. ~_~;
So when I got home today I pressed the garage opener button thingy and it went up fine. Got out of the car with my backpack and walked across the street to get the mail, la de da, came back and pressed the garage button and walked to the front door, stuck the key in... heard the garage door opening again. I thought that something was in the way causing it to do that... course not. After five minutes of messing around with it I finally gave up and left it open. Dad got home and fiddled around with it for thirty minutes then gave up; Mom came home about an hour ago and messed with it; finally Noah got home forty minutes ago and he and Dad "fixed it". Fixing it by of course I mean they caused it to crash down causing the car alarm to go off. ^_^ I think that they simply disconnected it meaning that we will have to manually pull it up tomorrow morning meaning I can't be late in leaving with Mom. ~_~ We didn't leave the house until about 6:13 a.m. when we are suppose to leave around 6:08-6:10. *sigh* Oh well, Mom still made the bus. :)
Want to sleep but if I sleep tomorrow will come meaning I have to sit in Math from 7:10-8:23... ugggggh. Will probably go home and grab something for lunch, eat a snack, then have to leave again. ~_~ I wonder if Dad is off tomorrow? Hmm.... curious, very curious indeed.
Today I didn't confuse the Japanese class as I did on Monday (darn it). The teacher was asking people if they eat dinner and if they do what. Comes to me, "Bangohan wo tabemasu ka? (do you eat dinner)" "Hai, tabemasu. (yes I eat dinner)" "Nani wo tabemasu ka? (what will you eat?)" "Sakke wo tabemasu (I'll eat salmon)" I had to repeat it and the class laughed. They thought I said sake, as in rice wine instead of sakke, salmon. ~_~ The jokes on you guys, HAR HAR. Instead I answered most of the questions and flaunted my skills. I'm a smug bitch, oh yeah. ^_^ At one point Leigh and I did our "Vanpire" hand deal. :) Fun shit indeed.
Tomorrow I have English too... ^_^ I think that I am in the right class (I think..). On the ACT and ITED I scored about 92% for my reaching comprehension (I think actually on the ACT it was higher). Course, in the Math and Science sections I got in the national average range. bah. Let's see how well I "experience literature!" *sigh* I think reading about the American government (social contracts, democracy, autocracy, public services, et al) made me tired. *shakes fist* I can't wait to be 18 and vote in an election! I'll drive those voter turn up numbers up for the 18-21 range!! *v.excited* ... doesn't have a life. ~_~ I think I'll go to sleep now. bah.
Current Tune: Song for XX (Ayumi Hamasaki)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! 7 DAYS LATE!!! :D :D :D Very excited about the new year, although this year is looking kind of the same as last year. ~_~;; I haven't written in the blog in awhile... I was waiting until I got the next layout uploaded but the images are EVIL thus I have to re-save them to a disk to have Leigh upload on her server thing.. ~_~;;;
So, wee! Classes started again, fun shit. I have a friggin' 95.1% in my Math class! Nooooo! Before the last test it was a 95.3%! Oh how cruel is life?! I told Paul that I was going to hang myself later, he just laughed. :) I started Japanese yesterday which is pretty easy. We are learning stuff I learned two years ago... ~_~;;; Today I started Political Science.. I almost fell asleep in the first class. Well, technically I was off in la-la land, that place between reality and sleep. ^_^ Then I had about four hours between classes since we got let out early. English I think will be pretty enjoyable. Reading! And learning the depth of literature, something pretty interesting. :)
hehe, I have a blog friend, Ingrid, who is currently avoiding telling me something... ~_~;;; *sigh* I can't find my cellphone charger, I wonder where it is... ~_~ Damn big house. Tired... I colored a Van picture I drew between classes, v. proud of self. :) I'm proud since I did my own pose type thing AND actually remembered what Van looks like. *GASP* I know! I need to scan it and send it to Ingrid for good luck. Reading is evil... ~_~; Wait, like reading... FORCED reading is evil. *drags heals in search for charger and to read*
Current Tune: The Show Must Go On (Moulin Rouge)
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays... slightly belated, but hey. ^_^; It was a pretty good Christmas, Mark didn't make me cry this year!! Yay! (he did three years or so ago). ^_^ I got both the Moulin Rouge soundtracks, thus the current tune.
I'm so proud of myself. I've hardly gone on the computer this week. That is because Mark gives me shit if I do. -_-; I was on the computer for about twenty minutes on Monday and Mark walked by and commented, "Hey Annie, any longer and you'll get a computer tan." grr grr. Oh well, I've also been fairly peeved. A few days ago one of the stories got a review stating obvious facts, something like, "Dilandau is a PYROMANIAC and Allen's sister, do your research!" Well no shit Sherlock! For one thing, Dilandau technically isn't a pyromaniac. Just because he likes burning stuff during battles you don't see him playing with matches in his free time? It's the emotions and intensity of the battle which, personally, I think they made the character act like that (that and he's pretty fucked up). ^_^ Also, well, once again, NO SHIT SHERLOCK about the sister comment. For heavens sake I have the whole fucking series on BOTH VHS and DVD, you think we would fucking know that? (grumble grumble). Another review under Escalator was saying they weren't sure if they were laughing since it was funny or crying since it was so stupid. Well, my mind is full of colorful adjectives if your general direction too!
haha, Leigh commented that writing this stuff in the blog calms me down. I am thinking that I no longer want to write fanfics. I mean, people like that seriously piss me off. Course, I've made friends and there are people who leave nice comments and are friendly... trying to focus on the good instead of the bad. *sigh* I take all this too much to heart. That and having brother around kind of messes up the emotions. *sigh*
I babysat today! :D It was pretty fun. My faith in children is slowly coming back. They made this Harry Potter potion thing that they got for X-mas and made me drink it. O_o Can we say pure SUGAR? It was a lot of fun though. I sat in my room reading for about two hours and got through 150 pages of the third Harry Potter book. Ahh, my favorite one. I wonder how many times I've read those stories? I really want to get my fourth book (which I got yesterday but am letting my half brother borrow) back to read. *_* <--- addicted to the written word, especially Harry Potter. :p
Current Tune: Kaze (Kobukuro)
If I had the guts and did not have a slight will to live I would have killed myself today. It really sucked. I'm majorly depressed at the moment. I think that holidays really get to me, grr to them. The few friends I have are dickweeds (okay, well, today they were) and my family... ugggh, I need a whole paragraph for that...
I cleaned the bathroom since Mark came home today. Then I was wrapping presents and commented how bad I am at it when Mom snapped/replied, "Well try at least!!" I was trying!!! Grr!!! Then like I predicted Mark gave me shit for wanting to go to art school. "Don't you think it's unwise to try only for that... I don't want you to shoot yourself in the foot... my friend's friend went to a four year college and is making lots of money in graphic design... wouldn't it be better if you didn't do the two year thing... I'm just worried about my siblings school future... etc etc etc." Ten minutes later I was really pissed/depressed. Why the hell are they pushing so hard for the four year college? I really want to go to that art school, it's my fucking future! Why the hell should I go to a four year college and do crap I don't want to when I already know what I want to do with my life!!! Arrrrrrgggghhh!! I have two fucking weeks of this to put up with... might as well shoot me now.
Current Tune: (none)
(achoo) Damn it (achoo), I hate it when (achoo) the house gets (achoo) cleaned!!! That is an example of the current me. -_-; I'm horribly allergic to dust which really sucks. T_T My eyes water, nose runs, and I sneeze up a storm. Eventually my lungs get clogged and I won't be breathing properly for the next week or so. Grr. Mark isn't even home yet and I'm already peeved at him. Everytime he comes home he makes it a mission to clean the house, or have US clean the house, which is annoying. Luckily though (this is mean to say but...) he is allergic to cats so will probably be out at Adam and Jody's clean pet-free house. ^_^
I cleaned the bathroom this morning (thus why I am sneezing). Yesterday I added another chapter to Changing Seasons, oh yeah. ^_^ It was a long chapter thus I am very proud of myself. Everyone seems to hate Gisela... of course I wouldn't normally like her too but... ah, argh. I'm trying to think how many chapters this should be.... Let's just see how much of a story I can get going. I have an idea for a cliffhanger to lead up to something but I'm not sure if I want to add it next chapter or the one after that... hmm.... I *could* do all sorts of evil stuff, bwhahaha.
Stupid socks. I was pairing socks until I started sneezing too much and once I put them down I stopped. -_-; *shakes fist at dust* I'm going to help Mom wrap presents today (or I will do that while she cleans... don't want to clean, always miserable when I do that...). What's that, lunch I smell..?
Current Tune: Pieces of a Dream (Chemistry)
Look down at the last entry and notice something that makes me sick: cinnimon rolls. -_-; I ate one today and am feeling pretty sick at the moment. It was so good when I ate it (half of one, we got them in Math to snack on) and I was thinking, "Hmm, this is pretty good, I don't think I'll get sick!" and almost two hours later I feel somewhat barfy. Why? Why must I get sick when I eat something I love!! *weeps*
I've been peeved all day. I think it might be from the lack of sleep last night. I didn't lay down in bed until about midnight, and when I did that I wasn't tired since I took a nap and all these thoughts came into my head. -_-; Argh. So 5:22 a.m. came pretty friggin' early in the morning.
Mom bought some more of those "reprocesses cardboard" crackers I like and she eats and it turns out Dad has taken a liking to them as well. ARGGGH!! Yesterday I came home and had one and he noticed and asked what it was to which I said, "Cheese and a cracker." So then later when I woke up again I find that they were all eatten and the wrapping had been left on the counter. -_-* He walked by here an hour or so ago eating one of the new ones! ARGH! He is one of the factors in my "eating disorder". Mom looked at me this morning when I was putting on my jacket and said, "Annie, your thin." To which I replied, "Bu-yah!" I'm in inch taller than I was before I went to Japan and weight almost the same. And you wonder why my friends tease me about an eating disorder. It's not like I go puke up my food or anything... just eating "right".
Last night I was on Lucifer (my PC) bored out of my mind and went into word and started writing something, erased it, then worked on changing seasons. Thus far it's five pages and I still have more I want to put into this chapter. I printed it out for Hayley to read and correct and it's 8 pages with 1.5 spacing. O_O 4 1/2 is talking about Van's past so that is another reason I feel I should write more, no real meat to the chapter. Bu-yah! I am going to be putting some of that research to use!
Current Tune: Tentai Kansoku (Bump of Chicken)
Explanation of Anne's Phobias/Odd-ness
Current Tune: Your Song (Moulin Rouge)
So, I got an e-mail from my English teacher saying my grade on the last paper and the final grade overall. (moment of silence). . . . . . . A- on the last paper and... (another moment of silence for dramatic effect). . . A- in the class!!! :D :D :D So happy! Now I just need to find my Political Science grade, I'm sure it's a B something or other. -_-; But hey!!! I was expecting a B in English! I called Mom to tell her what I got and her comment was, "That's great!! An A- for your first college class! That means if you go to a real college next year you'll do good!" "Yeah! Too bad I'm going to try to go to ART SCHOOL!!!" At one point I also said, "Fuck yeah!" to which she said, "What did you say?" "Erm... heck yeah!" "No, not that.." "Fudge yeah!" "I'm not as hard of hearing as your father is..." -_-; Caught. Little does mother realize how much I swear when she is not around....
So I am extending my evil radius on Fanfiction.net into the Inu Yasha section (trips). It is all because of a few fics that I'm in love with that anime and have made an Inu Yasha fanart and wallpaper! *shakes fist* Why did they get me obsessed when I'm always broke!? I'll be taking three college classes with my two high school classes next quarter so my parents don't want me to get a job (... I *only* have the college classes four days a week... -_-;).
I got home today and set my bag down on the chair in the kitchen and looked at the table to notice that Muffy had barfed on my books I'm returning today. Gee thanks you old fart of a cat. ^_^; Seriously I love the cat, she's older than *I* am we think (so she's got to be around 18...), but geez. The cats terrorize my stuff. -_-; Muffy is currently sitting on my lap, purring, her head was shaking a few minutes ago. -_- She is old.
Family concerned about all the books I have scattered around in the den. Noah questioned me when I went into his room to take some books off the bookcase (we have too many books in this house, almost literally a bookcase plus overflowing in each room). He said, "Why do you have all those baby namer books?" after he looked at the book I was carrying, a book on pregnacy. :D After I explained why I needed those books he kind of rolled his eyes at me. -_-; I should do a book tally and post it here... 15 ish books that are in here that I checked out from the library (the other half are at Leigh's house).... probably about two that Hayley got for me... and probably around ten that are the families books... haha, lots of research. I should write my fanfic... going to Cascadia today to sell my books though then X-mas shopping (gag gag) with Michelle (:D). Meaningless existence (I just want to fade away... into Zears...).
Current Tune: Blue Blood (X-Japan)
Ugggh! bored! Leigh's gone down to Portland for the weekend meaning absolute and utter boredom! Why can't her half-sister live up here? urrrgh. No one to watch Inu Yasha with tonight, no one to joke around with, no one around! Course, there is Hayley but she is working today... T_T Cleetus, I'm bored!!
Yesterday was fun! ^_^ Went over to Hayley's house and I cut up potatos and put butter and spices on them while Hayley made a wonderfully amazing dinner. :) It was delicious although I fear that I've gained ten pounds because of that. :p After dinner we went to the store and got candy and such for more cooking! Then we looked at X-mas lights, geez, they went all out. I still think the best house was with a string of lights on two windows. I don't know, the auto place at the bottom of my hill was great too (a sting of lights on the roof with some burned out and some flashing). ^_^ I mean, those are MUCH better compared to that house that had every square inch of it covered. Geez.
Muffy is laying infront of the computer (more specially, the keyboard). She's laying on my hand while I type. Urgh. Is the gingerbread house still okay? I can't believe that Toby, that evil poodle of yours Hayley, ate Santa! Oh well, that house kicks our Halloween ginger bread houses ass. :p
I've finished my homework, my room isn't that bad, I *do* have an Inu Yasha fanart picture I could finish... and I could work on my fanfic. My life is pathetic sometimes. -_-; I also have that layout I could cut up and turn into HTML. fun shit. My life is boring.
Current Tune: My Will (Inu Yasha)
AHHHHHHHHH!!! *stretching* Finally over! Cascadia is *FINALLY* over! It's sure been a shitload of time and effort but finally the college classes are done for this quarter! *grinning* I probably got B's in both classes (or at least that is what I hope... I've gotten mostly B's on the assignments) so yay! English we turned in our papers today, wahoo. Political Science we had our finals. O_o In-class essays, boo!! I was writing for an hour and a half straight, ugggh. I talked about the Rwanda conflict and the different 'actors' in it (united states, united nations, europe and africa) and if there are possibilities for peace in the future seeing those results; autocracy; legitimacy; European Union; End of History; and finally Authority. Uggh. Hate defining and talking about the significance of those terms. I highly doubt that when I am stuffed with turkey over the holidays I will start talking politics. Ah well, I enjoyed the class, it was fun. I feel I am smarter and more worldly after that. :p
Okay, Noah's girlfriend found my e-mail address and forwarded me this message today. There are six puppies for free and if they don't find a home they will be put to sleep! NOO!!!!!! So I printed out pictures for Mom to take to work, printed out for me to take to school, forwarded it to a few friends, and forwarded it to Adam to have him and Jody print and take to work. Also Mom is asking Josh to ask his friends. Ahh, the wonders of a large family. Too bad my Mom thinks that two dogs is enough (sniff sniff). Common! There's still room! We ONLY have five cats and two dogs, geez.
doodoodoo. Feels good, letting headache vanish. ahhh. Next Monday I'm going to sleep when I get home, sleep while I used to be at Cascadia. *smiles* Happiness! Freedom! Horrible horrible freedom! Of course, it's only till January 6th then I'll have three classes... bah. I have a test in Math tomorrow... -_-; Nooooo. Want to work on fanfic... will do tomorrow... before my interview at the Art Institute! Wahoo!!!
Current Tune: I Want to Break Free (Queen)
Oh yeah, just finished my last essay of the year (well... last essay for 2002) in English. Won't have to think in English type class until January 6th! Wahoo!!! Political Science on the other hand *groan* I have a final in tomorrow. At least tomorrow is the last day of class. I'm not too stressed about the final at the moment. I've been reviewing my notes for the past few days and can remember most of the crap. I'm expecting a B or something at the highest though (I'm not brilliant in the in-class essay taking scheme of things).
-_-* Dieing of the plague. Uggh. Okay, not the plague but close enough. ^_^ I got a *wonderful* cough a few weeks ago that STILL hasn't gone away! It's not as bad as it was before but I'm still coughing. I just got up to walk over to Lucifer (my PC, bwhaha) to change the CD track and started coughing. It's wonderful, I loose my breath and make a gasping/gagging sound to stop myself. ehehe.
Want to work on fanfic... *pathetic whimper* Finals, bah! Thursday I have my interview/tour of the Art Institute! Oh yeah! :D Really excited! Course, not excited about the Math test on Thursday... or the badminton test on Friday (a test on badminton, that is wrong). Can't wait for winter break to slowly let myself get stupid again. *sigh* Graphic design career.
So we set up the fake Christmas tree today. Oh yeah. I walked into the house after talking with Leigh outside and there was 1/3 of the tree sitting there. I looked blankly and my Dad was looking at the instructions. Dad: "Will you help me set up the tree. I don't like reading instructions." Anne: "Erm..." Anne figures out and sets tree up in ten minutes. Course, I got annoyed with the lights since one part wasn't lighting up so walked away since I had been reading.
Hey Ma! That tree already got lights on it! hehehe, funny Hayley!!
Current Tune: Change the World (Inu-Yasha)
^_^ I am in a really good mood at the moment. If I were not sitting here alone on the computer I would probably be laughing out loud (course, if I did laugh out loud now my Mom would think I were crazy). Oh well, I am sure that she already thinks that. bwhahahah!!
I was thinking about my old fanart pictures from about two years ago. Can we say crap? ^_^ I am still not all that wonderful but I *have* improved. (snicker snicker). Why am I so hyper? bwhahaa. I talked with Liz today on the phone for probably over an hour. I've been cleaning my room and get this, normal teenagers are probably out partying tonight but I paired my socks!!!! Oh yeah!
eheheeheee. I wish I were not so hyper. ^_^ This is bad... I mean, my hyperness will go to cleaning my room, that could be bad. Snicker snicker, BWHAHAHAH!!!!!! (I really shouldn't be laughing considering I am looking at fanart sites but they are reminding me that I too draw fanart making me think of my old work). Must calm down (grinning like an idiot, feelings like dancing!!!!). -_-* Perhaps I should get away from the computer.... ehehehehee......
Current Tune: Best Friend (Kiroro)
Dude (dude dude dude, hehe), I have about half an hour before I need to leave for class. Today is my oldest brothers' (the half brother dude) birthday! He's prehistoric (okay, not really, he's 33). O_o I just spent about two hours making him a card, I went all out. I sketched the picture out with the mechanical pencil, colored the fairy chick with the few copic markers I have, color penciled it then finally what I love doing, watercolor!! ^_^ Overall I am pretty pleased with the final product, even went inside and decorated the "Happy B-day Dave!" with vines and put a feather at the bottom (and on the back). I am over my artist slump, hazzah!
So, Hayley, I know that you read this (probably the only person who does, this blog is for you!!), how about I get a tattoo of a feather? eheheeehee, you know how I draw them all the time. :p
Haven't finished my Math so I have to take the book with me to Cascadia. bah. Will give me something to do though, fun fun fun (...). *sigh* No one seems to like the fanart picture I made on the computer. T_T I posted it here but I guess that website it too good for me. (keeping some negative comments to self). Grrr.
Wow, now I only have about twenty minutes till I should leave... wait, I probably don't have to leave until 12:35... -_-; The suspence is killing me. I *could* work on Math right now but then again, I would have to re-pack my bag (wait, when did I pack it?). O_o I am addicted to gum. I don't know, when I am nervous or bored I chew gum, calms the nerves or something (and prevents me from eating when bored). Ahh, dazed and confused, that is Anne on days she has community college. ^_^;
Current Tune: hum of the computer
Ugggh, I've been so depressed for the past day. T_T I can't draw or write anything, two things which my life depends on!!! I am more depressed about the lack of drawing ability since I want to go into animation. Perhaps I'll end up living in a cardboard box under the bridge (ehe, next to Leigh's cardboard box). Uggh! Perhaps the Art Institute won't want me once they see my drawings, noooo!!
Hayley and I are going downtown today so there is light in my life. ^_^ We are going to the Japanese bookstore and getting MANGA!!! :D Also some mochi, mmmm, yum.
I got an e-mail from Megumi today! She passed her college entrance exams! Yeah! haha, she says that she has forgotten English which is bad since I've forgotten Japanese. Dun dun dun, we can't really communicate anymore! O_o In other news I am intrigued by Astrology. It's interesting seeing how the stars influence our lives. Ooooh! I know that it might not be true but it's very interesting. I know that the creators of Escaflowne relied upon it in character development. Interesting (and sad that I know it). haha, perhaps that will help me with fanfics and characters.... (or not considering I can't write). Ahhhhh. I forgot my bank code for the ATM, this isn't good... -_-; Must search for it/try to remember. Fun shit.
Current Tune: A Love Before Time (Mandarin version)(Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon)
So Leigh and I have decided to make the ultimate Mary Sue for the Escaflowne section. It's going to be the insert a character but we are going so deep into the story. O_o Thus far we've gotten the basics of timeline (for both worlds), main character, a few of the minor conflicts, etc. We went to the library and raided the place. :p We got fifteen different books on various topics. :p This project is going to be huge. My one requirement for her is that we finish at least two of the stories we have posted. We are really good at starting fics but not at ending them. Perhaps we should finish Mary Sue, we have feeling people hate that one. :D Also, I want to finish: A Little Ryuu-jin and The Pyro of Notre Dame. What other stories do we have?
Bitter Much... people are requesting we do each episode. ^_^; We are thinking about that, most likely will do that but not in deep detail. That will take awhile... The Even Odder Couple, hahaha, no idea how long that will be. There is only so much family whole-someness we can handle, although regular series last a looooong time. O_o Numair in Love, eheeehee, at the most seven chapters or something. We have the ending already planned, bwhaha. A Guy in Gaea, Leigh wants to make that somewhat "serious." However, I doubt that she will really want to anymore since we are making the ULTIMATE MARY SUE which IS NOT A MARY SUE! Escalator is just too much fun to end soon. So many ideas, although it is suppose to take place in a night time period. Let's see how that goes! A Night of Hot Steamy Passion, we've got an ending in mind, probably about seven chapters or something.
I've taken up knitting this weekend. I am making the ULTIMATE scarf (what is with the word 'ultimate' today?). Thus far it is about a foot wide and I'm going to make it about seven feet long. bwhahaha. I have about six inches knitted thus far, ha. hahaha. I'm trying to work myself into working on Hidden Identity... holy shit my life revolves around fanfics. -_-; I'm also in a drawing mood.... people don't like my work so I could work on the drawing I've wanted to do for the past two days... hmm.... I wonder if I have gained the power of drawing back yet? Perhaps. Perhaps.
Current Tune: Some Days are Diamonds (John Denver)
Happy Thanksgiving! ^_^ At least to Americans who read this (if anyone reads this). If you aren't American then Happy Another Day!! :D
I went out to Adam's house since Meg's brother is in town and allergic to cats. Wee! I painted my finger nails read to represent the blood (eheehee, don't get me started on what blood, it represents so much blood). I munched on crackers (I didn't eat lunch) and watched some X-box, then Meg people showed up so I raced her brother on the X-box. Then I wandered around, bored bored bored, went downstairs and read the book away from people, went back upstairs, bored bored bored. Ate lots of food, ugggggh.
For once in my life I am sick of ff.net. I can't believe it. I mean, I'm just sick of all the stories there and have no real interest in reading more stories at the moment (that is other than authors whos stories I am really curious about). I feel guilty about it, but perhaps it's for the best (I can work on stories without influence, but yet I might loose track of story ideas that I am avoiding to avoid Mary Sue wickness). arrrgh.
I archived this, proud? I need to change the layout... I also need to change the layout at Inspired Verbalisms since I have a layout for it... just too lazy to cut it up. ehehee. I should make a website for all the wallpapers I have on my computer. I have to be individualistic and don't like wallpaper websites and hate the choices this computer offers. I've made about... erm... 6 wallpapers. Most of them are Escaflowne (surprise surprise), but I also have X/1999, Fushigi Yugi, and Cardcaptor Sakura. AMAZING. The Cardcaptor one is my favorite, I'm pleased with how that turned out.
Borrrrred. It's already 9:31?! GASP! When I signed on in my in-box was an alert I got a review! Changing Seasons is up to 30!! *tears flowing down face* I can't believe it! T_T So happy! (pathetic creature). I'm thinking about working on Hidden Identity but not many people like that one... ahhhhh well, it's being written for my enjoyment (same with Changing Seasons), it's just nice to know people like it. ^_^ Tomorrow I have to be up by 8:30 to go up into the mountains to murder a tree for X-mas (ehehee, I'm so politically correct lately). Poor Mom has work tomorrow, eheeehee. (evil daughter).
