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.

Mmm.. I just got my copy of the Cowboy Bebop Future Blues OST. It's so very tasty. It's got the Knockin' on Heaven's Door movie OST, the Ask DNA mini-album, and the Cowgirl Ed OST with tracks from the television series that weren't in other series OSTs. Mmm, yummy. This is by far my favorite pair of Bebop disks.
You can find websites for anything these days.
So what's news? I think I'm getting sick. I've had that sore throat, stuffy head feeling for a while now. I'm just hoping it's a 24-hour cold type thing. Will was right, there's always something wrong with me. Feh. I'll have to remember to buy some vitamins next time I go shopping.
Karyn said she was going to see Apolo at his book signing. I'm so very jealous. ;.; She said she'd grope him for me, though. YAY!
I love this cd... "No reply" is such a pretty song. It's making me all sniffly. I've always wanted a romance that sounds like this song... ^^;; I'm such a girl.

Hey, it's Friday. I think I should do a Friday Five. It's been a while.
1. What are your favorite ways to relax and unwind?
2. What do you do the moment you get home from work/school/errands?
3. What are your favorite aromatherapeutic smells?
4. Do you feel more relaxed with a group of friends or hanging out by yourself?
5. What is something that you feel is relaxing but most people don't?
Yay. That was fun. Now, on to news. I'm finally caught up with school, I think. I've got to finish a collage this weekend and I'll be good for a while. It's a nice feeling. I was freaked this week. x.x I've started playing Kingdom Hearts (as well as Xenogears). It's a really cute game and it's really fun. The only thing that bugs me is the goofy camera. It actually makes me seasick. I can only play for about thirty minutes before I start feeling woozy. x.X
This has kept me giggling for the longest time. It's not your usual gushy online baby journal. XD
Margaret Thatcher, bunnies, and a cute Swedish song. Sometimes you see something that makes you realize that "WTF?!!!1" just doesn't cut it.
I'm disappointed. I wanted to be Celes. Or Edgar. >.>

I got the urge to listen to good ol' Andrew W.K. after seeing the making of the music video for the song he has on the Jackass the Movie soundtrack. I know it's terribly gauche of me, but I really want to see this movie. ^^; I just have to find someone else who wants to see it so I won't have to go alone. That would be just plain sad.
I had fun this weekend. Probably a little too much fun... I didn't get any homework done. I did do a little DDRing and hung around with Will and spent sometime with my folks. So my time wasn't wasted. Apparently we're not going back until the weekend of October 11th and now that I've got a car with tags and insurance, I might do the driving this time.
Anyway... speaking of homework, I finished my essay, but I still have to study for an exam and finish a ton of art projects. Yay. And on the subject of art projects, the illustration board I bought last week was stolen out of the illustration room. What's worse, it was one of five boards taken. Needless to say, I was more than a little cheesed off. I had to go and spend another eight dollars for a new one.
I'm weak. Extremely weak. I ended up buying Kingdom Hearts after all. Well, it was one of the games I said I'd buy this fall. It's really pretty so far. I haven't had time to play much of it, though. I think I'll play a little more tonight instead of homework. Yay.
Background Noise: Kylie Minogue - Love at First Sight
Flopping on the bed and watching tv. Or video games. Sometimes I'll even grab a trashy magazine and do a little reading. I'm only really, truly, thoroughly relaxed when someone plays with my hair and rubs my head. ^^;; I'll have to find someone to do that for me more often. :o
See above. >.> Either that or I sit down and catch up on e-mail and what have you. I've learned to not flop on the bed as soon as I get out of class, I have a tendency to fall asleep. Not good when you have homework.
Umm. I dunno. I'm not into the whole aromatherapy thing. I do like the smell of oranges and limes. Citrusy things like that. However, my favorite smell ever is men's colognes and aftershaves. I don't think they sell those in candle form, though.
Well... it depends on which friends, I guess. There's a few friends that I feel really comfortable with. When I'm with them I'm more relaxed than when I'm alone. Then there's the rest of my friends who, even though I love them, I'm still a little self-concious around them. ^^;
You know... I have no clue. I'm such a comatose person to begin with... I don't think there's much I do at all that people would find not relaxing.

We give you a month tops, after which you'll be a complete ddr burnout and will have sworn off the game totally, or you will be your local arcade's Cata Maestro.

Well, welcome to the new layout. It was hastily thrown together tonight when I realized I was fed up with the old one. I don't know how much good it did me seeing as I just recycled the same HTML. Anyway, it's an homage to my favorite Trigun guy, Nicholas D. Wolfwood. He's so awesome. I intend on adding him to my figure collection. That's just too bad ass.
I had every intention on doing a Bebop layout next, but I was feeling uninspired as I fiddled around with my Bebop manga scans. Speaking of Bebop, I ordered the Future Blues OST a couple weeks ago... I wonder when I'm going to get it. :d
Kingdom Hearts shipped today. I'm still debating on when I'll buy it. I should finish Xenogears first. I'm such a Squaresoft whore. I also need more Trigun... *listens as her wallet whimpers*
Looks like I might be going home again this weekend. I'll get to actually spend some time with my parents this time around. Hopefully I'll get other things taken care of too.
I trimmed my bangs today. I cut them a little too short... so I look silly. ;.; Thank goodness my hair grows pretty fast. I need to visit a hairdresser anyway...
I am a lover of nature. I am at peace. I posess the power of the elements. Be it fire, water, wind, earth, or spirit, I recognize the energy that is around and within us all. I am pensive, and not quick to judge. When invoked however, my justice comes quickly and with gale force winds.
Oooh. Nifty.
Monday, September 16, 2002 02:22 p.m.
Oi oi oi. I need to learn to never, ever, ever write a blog entry when I'm in a mood. It comes out all whiny and angsty and no one likes that. If I keep this up it won't be long before I'm writing goth poetry and quoting Linkin Park lyrics. (If it ever comes to that, one of you had better hunt me down and beat some sense into me.)
Anyway, I'm better now. I've still got a lot of work to catch up on, but it's nothing I can't handle. Any other issues I've had have stopped being issues. They'll just be swept under the rug for another day and whatever happens happens. Whenever that happens. It's all good.
On to the good stuff, here's pictures Drew took of the hoedown at the Grand Saturday. I look awful in a couple of these. You've been warned.
This is going to give me nightmares. And this makes me wonder if I should be eating at McDonald's. >.>
The wrong thing to think? This is pretty interesting. Whether we want to admit it or not... we've all thought "inappropriate" things about tragedy.
Sunday, September 15, 2002 08:19 p.m.
Last week was great. I was happier than I've been in a long time. Suddenly things have turned nasty and now I'm in for a really, really awful week. I've got so much work to catch up on, exams to study for... and it just feels like I'm severely yanking myself around here. Anyway... you gotta enjoy yourself while you're happy and push on when you're not, right?
Despite my sinking feeling, maybe things won't be so bad. I can be a little too pessimistic sometimes. Maybe this time I'll be lucky. That didn't work out of Sally Bowles either, though... >.>;
I had fun this weekend. Got to go home, hung out the arcade, and goofed off at Will's house. It was nice to be back home and all. I really, really didn't want to leave. Yeergh. I'll post again when I'm not feeling so bleah.
G'night, people.
Wednesday, September 11, 2002 10:52 p.m.
Well, happy birthday to my blog. A year ago today I made my first entry ever. And seeing as it's the anniversary of other things, you can imagine what it was about.
It doesn't seem it was a year ago. Weird, huh? This morning they were showing still shots one after the other of people jumping from the towers. I don't know if they were trying to shock people into remembering, but I found it in pretty poor taste.
Anyway.. on to happier news. Will suprised me by coming to visit today. :o He just got up and decided to drive four hours for some reason. He was really sick last night, which makes it even more suprising. Very pleasantly suprising, mind you.
We went to Little Tokyo and ate with Drew, Lisa, and Jen. Much goofiness and fun there was. I had sukiyaki... it was really good. I probably ate too much of it. x.X
Apparently we're all going home Friday afternoon. Drew, Lisa, Will, LeAnna, and I are gonna have a little convoy. Rockin' through the night! Yeah, we got a little convoy! Ain't she a beautiful sight? Come on and join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna get in our way. We gonna roll this truckin' convoy 'cross the U.S.A. Cooooonvoy!
Okay. That was really dorky and scary and I promise to never do it again. o.o;
I have class at eight tomorrow. That's no fun. Guess I'm off to bed. >.>
Not sure what this means. I'm full of symbolism? Nya? Anyway. Who cares? It's Chang Chen!
Monday, September 9, 2002 12:02 a.m.
Hmm. I should hunt down some non-DDR K-Pop. Maybe some BoA? We'll see.
Well, I had a very interesting weekend (to say the very least).
Friday night Jen, Drew, and Lisa came over and we watched the end of Cowboy Bebop (sniffle!), ate some ice cream and goofed off. It was much fun, can't wait to it again. I didn't work on my Illustration project.
Much later that night (early Saturday morning, really) Will called. Don't think I got to sleep til about 4:00AM. Still didn't work on my Illustration project. Not that I minded really.
LeAnna and I were woken up by numerous phone calls on Saturday. One of which was from Jen, who we forgot to meet for lunch. Bad Annie and LeAnna. Bad. Anyway... we decided to go to Tuscaloosa and play some 3rd Mix Korean. We didn't play too much. The machine was turned down so low you couldn't hear it over the Tekken machine. Argh. We did some shopping... which might have been a bad idea. I ended up walking out with a Bebop shirt, Love Hina manga #3 (Mutsumi! Wai!), and the Tenchi Muyo in Love DVD (LeAnna's Christmas present, she bought me Trigun volume 3 XD ). Obviously, I didn't work on my Illustration project.
We went back to Columbus, watch Trigun and SNL and whatever and goofed around. I talked to Will for a while. Only worked on my Illustration project for a little while.
Sunday I got up at 9:30 to work on my project. I tried to call Will just to prove that I could be awake at 9:30. No answer... so I crawled back in bed. He called back around 11:30ish and we talked for a little while... then I rolled over and went to sleep again. I finally got up at 2:00 and then Will called me again and fussed at me for not having my Illustration project done. >.>;;;
We went to grab some dinner at around 3:30ish and then made a trip to Wal-Mart. So... around 5:00 I finally sit down to do my Illustration project. I finished it around 11:30. Yay. (This is the longest and most detailed account of anything that you'll probably ever get out of me... enjoy it while you can.)
Mmm. Links. This is so completely wrong. I almost feel kinda bad for laughing at it. This is also wrong, but in a creepier kind of way. I always knew there was something fishy about Bob the Builder.
No quiz tonight. ("And the peasants rejoiced...") I'm going to bed, and you should too.
Friday, September 6, 2002 05:15 p.m.
I just got back from Old Navy. I bought a really pretty shirt. It's a long sleeved button down with those long cuffs I find so funky-cool. It's got this ever-so-slightly tacky floral print that reminds me of wall paper. I love it.
I also drew Mireille from Noir. I was experimenting with a new way of CGing line art... I'm not sure if I'm digging it yet. I wish I looked like Mireille or Julia. But, I haven't managed to pull off "cute" yet. I dunno if I'll ever be able to handle "gorgeous".
Someone needs to buy me one of these. Kawaii. We should take a lesson from Pucca. Subtlety doesn't work. You've got to hit the boy with a rock and steal a kiss.

I Am A: Chaotic Good Elf Bard Cleric
Alignment:
Chaotic Good characters are independent types with a strong belief in the value of goodness. They have little use for governments and other forces of order, and will generally do their own things, without heed to such groups.
Race:
Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently concern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance.
Primary Class:
Bards are the entertainers. They sing, dance, and play instruments to make other people happy, and, frequently, make money. They also tend to dabble in magic a bit.
Secondary Class:
Clerics are the voices of their God/desses on Earth. They perform the work of their deity, but this doesn't mean that they preach to a congregation all their lives. If their deity needs something done, they will do it, and can call upon that deity's power to accomplish their goals.
Deity:
Hanali Cenanil is the Chaotic Good elven goddess of love, beauty, and art. She is also known as the Heart of Gold and Lady Goldheart. Her followers delight in creation and youth, and work to spread happiness, love, and beauty. Their preferred weapon is the dagger.

You know... last time I took this I was a Lawful Good Half-Elf Bard Ranger. Wonder what happened. :o Oh well. I'm more of a Cleric than a Ranger, I guess. Just lemme sit in the back and heal. It's all good. >.> Why do I have to sudden urge to play Everquest again? Bad, Annie. Bad.
Wednesday, September 4, 2002 09:12 p.m.
Had a nice Labor Day weekend. Every weekend should be three days long... life would be beautiful.
I was in a tizzy earlier with the threat of two projects due Friday in addition to a ton of other homework. But Mr. Gibson, God bless him, gave us til Monday on the illustration project. Breathe, Annie.
Speaking of Annie, check out my name analysis. I really don't believe this stuff, but I have to admit that it's pretty dead on. Especially this bit. "Although you are very knowledgeable and intelligent, you often find spontaneous verbal expression difficult. You crave friendship, understanding, love, and affection but your reserved manner appears forbidding to others." It's probably a coincidence, though. Seeing as they analyzed this name, it's got to be a load of bull. >.>
My arcade has its Max2 now. I'm dying to go back home and play now. Long Train Running and Burning Heat... wooooooo!
Seraphim is so cute. I wish I had teensy wings.
Well. Isn't that special?
