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.

So, Happy Thanksgiving, peeps.

I did the usual. Dinner at the grandparents place. The parts of the day that I didn't spend eating were spent playing the Sims and reading. I should have washed my car, but it was too cold for that...

Yesterday was a little more eventful. I went to the doctor that morning to see about my heartburn. He put me on Nexium and told me to stop eating certain things. If I'm not better in a couple of weeks they're going to check for ulcers.

That afternoon I went to meet LeAnna and Will at Will's house. They were at the arcade all morning, so I got there just in time to see a sleepy Will. He was also picking at me for a little while there, but I've gotten used to that, I think. I got to meet another friend of Will's. She's an artist and all, so it was neat to talk to her. We had thought about going to see a movie, but Will was ready to fall over. So.. I left. :/ It was a little disappointing, but that's okay. He wouldn't have been much fun at a movie anyway.

We're doing something tomorrow, apparently... so I guess that'll make up for it.

My Xplo-sama is having a bad Thanksgiving. I wish I could make him feel better... but there's not much I can do. I wish I could make someone happy. :/

It's cold in this room. I have hot chocolate, but I really need someone to cuddle with.

Okay. So I may have cheated just a little. Yellow was always my favorite Ajah... >.>; I really am going to re-read the Wheel of Time sometime soon.

Background Noise: Xenogears OST - Bonds of Sea and Fire

Today was a blah day. Nothing much happened. Will tried to give me a wake up call this morning, but he called after I'd been awake for a good thirty minutes. Nice try, though. >.> Then he started being a jerk toward the end of the conversation. I don't know why he insists on doing that. Punk. :p

Drew sent me all of the Xenogears OST. I've been listening to that off and on for the past day or so. Tis tasty. I think Will has the Creid soundtrack. I'll have to get a copy of that. In case you haven't noticed, I think that this is a pretty nifty Xenogears site.

I drew Miang. It's probably obvious how much I rushed it. Poo.

I can't wait for Xenosaga...

You know. I hate being shy. I love talking to people and I do talk to people once I get to know them. (Sometimes I rarely stop...) But, it's hard to get to know people when you're too shy to talk to them. And it seems like whenever I do talk to people I say something stupid. Other times I feel like I emit these vibes that make people not want to associate with me. I don't mean to appear stand-offish. But how can you help it? Oh well.

Tomorrow we go home for Thanksgiving break. Yay! I love Thanksgiving. It's my second favorite holiday. My car should be fixed when I get home too. The rear glass and a vent glass were replaced and I needed a whole new door. My dad was able to find some good deals, though. The whole load only cost about three hundred dollars. Yay. It'll need to be vaccumed out and what not, I'm sure. And I'll need a new air freshener...


What Obscure Animal are you?

I have never ever heard of a Zorilla... freaky.

Background Noise: FFX OST - Other World

LeAnna must really want to get out of this research paper she's supposed to be writing. She's started a game of Final Fantasy X, and she never, ever plays RPGs. She also managed to stay awake during the few hours I spent on Xenogears today.

I swear, the blitz ball scene at the begining of this game owns me.

I'm doing a little homework avoiding myself. I've got loads of biology stuff I need to do... I've got a couple days though. I'm so lazy.

Let's see. What did I do this weekend... I went to a party Friday night. It was okay, I guess. Saturday we hung out with Jen, Drew, and Lisa. We ate at Little Tokyo, did a little shopping, and bummed around here for a little while playing Frequency and The Misadventures of Tron Bonne. Servbots are so cute. :D

I was supposed to give Will a wake up call fifteen minutes ago, but I keep getting his answering machine. I guess I'll just assume he's already awake and in the shower or something.

This is so nifty. I ganked it from Aris-chan.

Auron is so cool. And Tidus uses a lot of product on his hair. And. I think I'm going to go do homework.

Background Noise: Mono Puff - Dashiki Lover

I've forgotten how much I like Mono Puff.

Well, this week has been really slow so far. My AIM still won't work and we've got no cable. Blargh. I've been playing lots o' video games and ignoring my school work. That stuff's all winding down anyway. I'm getting through Vice City ever so slowly. I have a bad habit of getting frustrated with a mission too easily and giving up. I'm also getting frustrated with Frequency. Expert mode is a beeotch. Kingdom Hearts I got frustrated with because I can't figure out where I'm supposed to go next in Atlantica. x.X

Will started dropping subtle hints that I should get back to Xenogears (i.e. calling me at 7:20 in the morning and making me listen to the battle music...) so, I did just that. Thankfully, I'm moving along at a steady clip. Bart's back and Elly's in my party finally... so I don't think I'll be getting too frustrated any time soon. ^^;

This is a pretty funny, yet strangely creepy website.

"Me fail English? That's unpossible!"

Background Noise: Eddie Izzard - Glorious

Aris-chan sent me a whole lot of Eddie Izzard. I love my Aris-chan.

"Did you not reap them with your Grim Reaping equipment?"

I'm much happier now. For lots of reasons. Mostly it's because things are getting back to normal. The art department is spread all over campus now, but other than a few studio courses everything is going on as usual. We'll probably be spread around for a couple of years.

"I want to get more sand in an animal than anyone has ever done before!"

The faculty was able to get a lot of their work and student work out of the building. Which was good. Mind you, they did this while security kept telling them not to go in the building again. >.> Apparently they had to get the National Guard to watch the building at night. No doubt there'd be some art professors in camoflage sneaking through that building otherwise.

"I like my women like I like my coffee... COVERED IN BEES."

LeAnna's LJ is full of lies. She's taken it upon herself to pick at me for some reason. >.>

"The Queen was quite sexy in a not very sexy kind of way."

I should be writing a paper that may or may not be due tomorrow. I should have written it last week... but why would I stop procrastinating now? I hate myself sometimes...

"Crabs and lobsters! Get the heel, get the heel!"

I think I'm gonna go do that now.


how would you commit suicide?

This makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Background Noise: Detroit Cobras - Cha Cha Twist

Well, this is officialy the worst week ever. After picking LeAnna up at her house and Will at the gas station, the power steering on my mom's car went out in Will's driveway. Of course I found this out by not being able to turn all the way and taking out one of his bushes. How embarrassing.

We did our usual dinner and arcade and whatever thing. Ended up watching Star Wars Episode II at Will's place. I didn't sleep through as much of it as they thought I had. Just cause I was curled up with the blanket... I'd close my eyes every so often and open them to find Will staring at me with that goofy grin of his. Creepy.

We lost track of time and LeAnna's parents called around 1:30 and were very angry. So a very reluctant Will had to take us home. Not so much reluctant to see us go as he was reluctant to drive all that way. :p We got LeAnna home and she was in big trouble, which I feel really bad about. And now I feel even worse because apparently her parents think its my fault or something. Anyway.. Will drove me home... and I felt horrible that he had to. It was late and he was really tired.

I just got done dumping all this on Lauren and Xplo-sama. I feel kinda bad about that too.

We're going back Sunday, maybe tomorrow. They're opening the dorms Sunday afternoon, and apparently class is going to go on as scheduled.I really don't want to go back now..

Background Noise: Shinohara Tomoe - I wanna say to...

Well. This weekend started out very nicely, but it turned out kinda nasty. Not too long after I made my last post, a tornado (or a nasty storm, I haven't heard officially) blew through campus. It took out the gym and art building completely and most of my dorm. The entire campus is trashed... which explains the broken images here on my site. My car's missing a couple of windows and is now full of water and glass.

We're out of class until Monday and they're moving the residents in my dorm to another hall. I'm at home right now and I'm kinda stressed out. I don't want to move again, I don't want my parents to pay for the repairs on my car (I'm certainly not going to be able to afford it), and I don't know what I'm going to do.

What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger, right? >.>

Background Noise: Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes

I swear. If I see one more little girl wearing a necktie over her "Rock Star" sequined tank top, I'm going to strangle her with said necktie. Avril Lavigne is just as responsible for the decline of today's youth as Britney and Christina.

Speaking of Avril Lavigne, I saw a guy in Tuscaloosa playing DDR who had a shirt that said "Avirl Lavigne Sucks". Cute. Tuscaloosa was fun. I think I got to play more DDR than last time. The token lines weren't nearly as long. I only got a couple of games of Soul Calibur in, though. I really need to get back to the Grand and check on my character, though. Will says she's holding her own pretty well, though.

I also bought two more volumes of Mars. It's getting more and more soapopera-ish... and I love it. I even made a desktop wallpaper featuring the leading man, Rei Kashino. I redid it last night, but decided I liked this original version better.

I've got a couple of projects I really need to be working on... I've been way too lazy this weekend. I suppose I should get to work...

Background Noise: DDR 3rd Mix - Jam Jam Reggae

I'm weak. Oh, so very weak. I finally gave in and got myself a Live Journal so my friends with LJs can keep up with me. Though, I have to admit, the posting client is pretty convenient. My blog will still remain my main web outlet. I'll probably just double post everything. I'll probably also just stick all those giant, annoying survey thingies (read: my last two entries) in my LJ too.

I finally make a real post, and it's a little disappointing. I'll probably have more interesting things to say this weekend.

Ciao.

Background Noise: The Misfits - Hybrid Moments

I gave in to temptation and bought the Jackass Soundtrack. Andrew W.K. made me do it. I swear.

Well, I'm still bored so I'm gonna jump on the band wagon with my Lauren, Jen, and LeAnna and write 100 things about me. Sounds fun... and it'll make for a long, self-centered entry. Ego trip, engage!

Background Noise: Michael Jackson - Beat It

I'm feeling a little old school today.

It's November already... this semester has flown by. Kinda makes my head spin, really. I think I want a new layout... maybe something wintery and artsy. I dunno.

I'm bored and I don't really have much to write about, so I dug up this ancient survey thing. I think it's pretty nifty (and challenging) because you can only answer with song lyrics.

1. Are you male or female?
"We were young girls, in a small world / I'm on your doorstep man / Ringing your bell again, ringing your bell again" - Young Girl, The Distillers

2. What do you look like?
"Now the Devil, she must be a dentist / with deep jawbreaker eyes / red rope hair / gum drop lips / cotton candy thighs" - Candy, The Presidents of the United States of America

3. What do you want from life?
"I don't want the world / I just want your half" - Ana Ng, They Might Be Giants (It helps to explain that Linnell and Flans were talking about money, not love, when they came up with this line. How's that for a nifty double meaning?)

4. What do you want to be?
"Now I was layin' down line on number 9 / Now when she came down to earth / And she was talkin' real loud / All about how she was gonna save the universe" - Diggin, Seatbelts

5. What would you say to your best friend?
"It's happened once again / I'll turn to a friend / someone who understands / sees through the master plan / everybody's gone / and I've been here for too long / to face this on my own / but I guess this is growing up" - Dammit, Blink182

6. What scares you?
"I call / And there's no reply / Like some phantom cry / On ears too far away" - No reply, Seatbelts

7. What is your motto?
"I will survive / As long as I know how to love / I know I'll be alive / I've got all my life to live / I've got all my love to give / I will survive" - I Will Survive, Gloria Gaynor (So cheesy! Yay!)

8. What do you want to tell someone?
"Hello hello, it's good to be back, it's good to be back / Hello hello hello / Did you miss me when I was away?" - Hello Hello, Mono Puff

9. What would you say to the one you love/like/admire from a safe distance?
"When you walk away / You don't hear me say please / Oh baby, don't go / Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight" - Simple and Clean, Utada Hikaru

10. Where do you want to be?
"Times have changed and times are strange / Here I come but I ain't the same / Mama, I'm coming home" - Mama, I'm Coming Home, Ozzy Osbourne

11. What's your secret?
"I never did a single thing that did a single thing / To change the ugly ways of the world" - I Did It, Dave Matthews Band

12. If you could say one thing to your enemy what would it be?
"Someone told me once that there's a right and wrong / And that punishment would come to those who dare to cross the line / But it must not be true for a jerk-off just like you" - Jerk Off, Tool

13. What would you do if you had a million dollars?
"Sitting in the morining sun / I'll be sitting when the evening comes / Watching the ships roll in / then I watch them roll away again / I'm sitting on the dock of the bay / watching the tide roll away / Just sitting on the dock of the bay / wasting time" - Sitting on the Dock of the Bay, Otis Redding

14. What is your family like?
"Because the people who love you are waiting, and they'll wait just as long as need be / When we look back and say those were halcyon days / We're talking about jubilee" - Jubilee, Mary Chapin Carpenter

16. What is your life like presently?
"I get by with a little help from my friends / I get high with a little help from my friends / Gonna try with a little help from my friends" - A Little Help from My Friends, The Beatles

I wonder if anyone else will try this... I'd love to see what they come up with. :d

In other news, my feet are cold. I'm going to bed. Night night.
