I was long over due for a change... but this is the best I could come up with. I confess, I've been lazy. Recycled HTML doesn't do Wolfwood justice. Anyway, this is my ode to my favorite Trigun character, the traveling preacher Nicholas D. Wolfwood.

It's a shame they don't have a little mood icon for boring. :p
Anyway. This was a somewhat eventful weekend. By my standards anyway. We (me, LeAnna and Drew) went to Tuscaloosa yesterday morning for some DDR. Frankly, I sucked. Big time. I guess it's because I haven't played in almost a month. What little stamina I had went down the drain. Soul Calibur II has made me soft, I think.
Anyway, after Tuscaloosa we went to Little Tokyo and met Jen and Lisa there. I had yaki udon. Yummy yum. Red bean ice cream too. Jen couldn't finish hers so I helped out. I'm such a little piggy. >.> Then we went back to Drew and Lisa's and watched their cat Cloud try and sit on their other cat Terra. It was interesting, to say the least. ^^; We played Animal Crossing... and they took Cookie from us. ;.; They took Mathilda too, but good riddance. Will took Chevre and now Cookie's gone too. Poopy. If Goldie leaves, I'll cry. ;.;
Drew mentioned that I should start a webcomic. He says I draw better than Piro. o.o Fanboys are gonna riot. I've always wanted to draw a webcomic. But, I can't write for anything. So.. if someone wants to write for me... we'll see. :o
Anyway. I haven't done any of my homework over the weekend.. I haven't studied at all either. I suck. I've got two tests Tuesday. x.X Biology and Art History. It probably wouldn't kill me to start looking at Biology stuff tonight. Rrar. I also need to burn a cd. The Sims I ordered are going to come in next week and I need the HD space...

1. What is one thing you don't like about your body?
2. What are two things you love about your body?
3. What are three things you want to change about your home?
4. What are four books you want to read this year?
5. What are five promises you have kept to yourself?
Okay. Moving on. I solved my freezing to death problem and bought an electric blanket. I'm ever so toasty now. I'll sleep like a warm little baby tonight. *_*

I've decided that I want to move to a big city someday. They're terrifying, of course. So many people and so many places, I'd get lost really quickly. But they're exciting, too. There's so many people and so many places. It'd be nice not to see the same things over and over again. And to have things to do when you get bored in the middle of the night. So yeah. I'm gonna live in a city. Dunno which one, though.
I've got a gallery up at deviantart.com. Fun.
Well... this weekend I went home. Didn't do a whole lot. I hung around with the folks Friday and Saturday and Sunday morning. Played Animal Crossing and watched Comedy Central with Will all Sunday afternoon and late into the night.
It's been a pretty strange week. But it's gone by quickly. I nearly killed myself yesterday. Not thinking, I took four Aleve for cramps. On an empty stomach. And, as you might know, Aleve is really rough on your stomach. And, as you also might know, I've got a torn up stomach to begin with. So. Yeah. A few hours after I took the medicine I was keeled over and could barely breathe, much less move for any extended period of time. It wasn't fun at all. I was still a little heartburn-ish today too. I probably knocked myself back a couple of steps in getting better. Bleah.
I also got a little shock yesterday too. Will showed up out of the blue. Kooky, huh? Anyway, we hung around here. Played Trivial Pursuit and watched more Comedy Central. He showed me Strongbad's e-mails and we had a generally fun time. He left this morning while I was in class. Haven't heard from him yet, so I'm just guessing that he made it back okay.
I'm eating fries now. Not terribly good for the stomach either. My mom would chew me out if she knew. Well. Maybe not chew me out. But she'd give me that look that says "you know better". It's like Steve-O said, when they say "I'm so disappointed" it's worse than getting wailed on. Smart man, that Steve-O. (Until you hand him a stapler.)
It's incredibly cold here. Like... obscenely cold. I don't own a scarf... but I realized today that I probably should. OMGitssocold!!!!!1
I really need to change the layout of the blog. I dunno what I want, though. I think I want something artsy. Like a painting matched up with a poem or something. I think I'll start off with something simple... like modifying the ol' LJ. >.>;
Background Music: Animal Crossing BGM
Mmm. Friday. Let's do a Friday Five. Yum.
It's size? I'm flabby and yucky. I'm working on that, though. Slowly but surely. :/ Very slowly, it seems.
Um... blah. Hmm. *thinking* I like my hair, sometimes. It can be shiny and fluffy if I mess with it enough. Just wish it were darker. :o I like my eyes too, I suppose. Especially when they look blue-green.
Since I don't have a "home", I'll talk about my room at home. One, I want to repaint it completely. It's lavender now and that's just bleah. Two, I want to organize it a little better. I wish I had room for flat files to store arty crap in. Three... I wish I had a little more space. But that's not happening. >.>;
Path of Daggers and Winter's Heart (just to be done with them o.o), Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (because apparently that makes you cool), and Invisible Monsters (cause it sounds really good).
Are you kidding? I can never keep a promise to myself. I've tried.. and it just doesn't happen. ._.

Which Soul Calibur character are you?
this quiz was made by david park
I think, and LeAnna agrees... that I'm really Cassandra. But she wasn't an option. Ed says I'm Sophitia, which is a lot more flattering than Cassie. But, deep down... I really, really want to be Ivy. SIT! STAY!
Good boy. :p

Well. I'm sitting here with a sympathy card... and I'm not sure what to write in it. I feel like I should be in Missouri with my parents right now. I couldn't, though... there's so much I'd miss with classes and stuff and whatever. I guess there isn't a whole lot I can do now, but I just feel really bad for not being there. I also found out that my relatives in North Carolina won't be making it to Missouri either because my other uncle is sick. I think there's a spot on his lung that they're testing. Something like that..
I'm going home this weekend. If there's not an ice storm Friday, that is. LeAnna acts like she really wouldn't mind staying here... but I'll leave her butt up here if I have to. >.> I'm going home.
This is pretty interesting. Especially if your a political type. Xplo-sama and I both started countries. I'm leader of a psychotic dictatorship. >.>
Classes are going good. Even my Pilates class seems like it's going to be fun. I've just got to watch what I eat better and maybe I can do something about myself. I need to watch what I eat in the cafeteria anyway... I don't know what it was that I ate... but I'm having some serious tummy pains right now. I made the mistake of drinking a gallon of iced tea during one of my trips to Little Tokyo this weekend. All the caffine set me back a few steps heartburn wise... but I'm being even more careful now.

They haven't made any arrangements... so I don't know if my parents or me or whatever is going to be making a trip out that way.
So.. yeah.

A survey to start things off with...
1. What was the first record you owned?
2. Is there a song that reminds you most of your childhood?
3. If you could spend a night with five musical artists (three for their minds and two for their bodies) who would they be?
4. If your life was a movie, what would play over the following:
5. If applicable, name a song or concert that moved you to tears:
6. What do you listen to when you are...
7. Name one musical artist you'd like to see banished.
8. Name a song you would rather never hear again.
9. Name an album that is perfect all the way through.
10. Music you like that can be considered a guilty pleasure.
11. If your music collection was about to go up in flames, which 5 cds would you save?
12. Is there a song that describes you or a situation you've been in so well that you could have written it?
14. Best music-related movie?
15. What is your favorite all-time video?
16. Current favorite radio hit?
17. Do you sing or play any music instruments?
There. That was fun.
Okies... second day of classes is done. Woo-oo. Screenprinting seems like it's going to be a lot of fun, but it's also going to be a ton of work... and intense work at that. Supplies are going to break me, too. Ink is $16 a jar... >.> Oh well. I'm planning on getting some decent artwork out of the class. >.>
Western civ is going to be fun too. I like Dr. Velek. Most people here don't, though. Funny that. I also have Pilates... which hopefully will get me in shape. At least a little bit.
And that's that. Time for homework. Or videogames. Whichever comes first.

Well, to start off... the roommate person got a GameCube for Christmas and Animal Crossing owns my soul. Completely. I have no idea how I can play it as much as I do... but I do. Good lord. I got pretty snowman carpet today. I must make another snowman tomorrow. I actually made a pretty good bit of money off of Dizzy in the igloo today... Getting close to paying off that first expansion. Woot.
Anyway. Today was the first day of classes. So far so good. Biology is going to be a little tougher than before. No curve this time. >.> I should pull through okay. Biology 102 is more about physiology and ecology, stuff I'm actually interested in, as opposed to cellular respiration and whatever. Modern Art History is going to be just a continuation of last semester. Let's just hope I also continue my A+. :o My honors seminar on Film Noir looks like it will be pretty neat. We get to watch movies like Detour, Mildred Pierce, Blade Runner, and Memento and compare them to the philosophy of Michel Foucault. How brainy sounding. :o We also have to write a research paper on another film noir... so I'll have to head to Blockbuster sometime. I have always wanted to see The Lady from Shanghai, Laura, and The Man Who Wasn't There. If you happen to have anything noirish on VHS or DVD... help a sister out, would you? :p
And... with that... I'm going to bed.

What is your anime hair color?

I found out a while ago that my uncle died this afternoon. He was in his 80s.. ran and worked on a farm all his life. He was one of those guys that got up before the sun everyday. He'd had a lot of health problems and just had some major surgery. He lived in Missouri, so I didn't see him a whole lot... so I wasn't super close to him. But he has been my uncle as long as I've been alive. I think he's probably the closest relation (that I've known) I've had to die. He was my mom's sister's second husband. Her first husband died on Christmas... so I can only imagine what her family is going through.
Okay. My usual AIM screenname "NyankoRocket," has spazzed out on my completely. Until further notice, I'll be "AndalusianRocket," because I'm a wannabe art nerd. And I like the word Andalusian. :D I'll get back to NyankoRocket one day, I hope... so don't delete me. I'll still use that sn on every computer but this one... so yeah.

When I was little I had "Flashbeagle," a collection of 80s-tastic songs by the Peanuts gang and a Rainbow Brite album. I have no clue which came first.
"Labamba". I was all about that song in kindergarten. XD
Hmm... interesting... for mind, I'd go with Weezer's Rivers Cuomo, System of a Down's Serj Tankian, and They Might Be Giant's John Flansburg (can I get Linnell thrown in for free? Please?). As for body... Mark Lanegan (Queens of the Stone Age) and Dave Grohl.
Opening credits: Catnip Dream - Shounen Knife
Love scene: Besame Mucho - Diana Krall
Driving scene that consists mainly of flashbacks and love lost: Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground - The White Stripes
Closing credits: The Young Crazed Feeling - The Distillers
Feh... I dunno. Um.. nothing that I can think of at the moment.
Happy? They Might Be Giants, No Doubt, Morning Musume, Outkast, Shakira or Tomoe Shinohara.
Sad? Dave Matthew's Band, Diana Krall, Utada Hikaru, or Weezer.
Upset? What's the difference between this and sad or angry? >.>
Mad? Tool, System of a Down, The Distillers, The Hives, or The Vines.
Avril Lavigne. Hiss.
Sk8ter Boi by Avril Lavigne. Give me a break.
Weezer's Maladroit. Not a song on there I don't like. Pinkerton is just as good, too.
Andrew W.K. No one else likes him, but I think he rocks hardcore. AW YEAH!
1. White Blood Cells - The White Stripes
2. Maladroit - Weezer
3. Apollo 18 - They Might Be Giants
4. Lateralus - Tool
5. Future Blues O.S.T. - Yoko Kanno
Weezer's "El Scorcho." All the time. I swear.
Moulin Rouge was pretty good. I have a weakness for Dirty Dancing. I want to see Chicago, too. That'll own.
Hmm. I love "Mrs. Jackson" by Outkast. Missy Elliot's "Work It" is cool too. "No One Knows" by Queens of the Stone Age wins, I think.
It's all about "No One Knows."
I play the flute and piccolo (haven't touched them in a long time, though) and I sing in the car when I'm alone.
