SAYONARA, moneys~ ++ Tuesday, August 19, 2003
Hehe... I have a new obsession!! It's a web forum called
Gaia Online. You get to design your own sprite-type character! lol It's FUN! (And I'm slightly drugged...)This is my character:
^^; I'm a nerd. I'm a very proud nerd, though~
Anyhow, I'm losing money before I even have it... I got in a car accident yesterday. Ran Jennifer's Mercury Topaz into the back of a 500-lb Chevy truck. I got to ride in an ambulance (on a back board, with a collar) to the hospital! At the hospital, I got to get shot up with pain killer, had pictures taken of my neck and brain, and then sat around (still in that blasted collar!) for the doc to come and tell me that I sprained my neck, bumped my head, and scratched my eyebrow. All in all, that took about four hours off my life.
How did it happen? That story is too embarassing to tell. (If someone who already knows it spams my tag board with the whoooooole thing, I'll be forced to bite them a lot.) Anyhow, regardless of HOW it happened, I have to pay a LOT for it. I have to appear in court on Sept. 8, I believe...
Anyhow, I'm working on a new layout for Visions right now. I really like it, yesh. Simple tables, yesh. (OI. Channeling Goldmember or something... Tell me it's the drugs...) :D That be all.

what a day... ++ Sunday, August 17, 2003
I feel so freakin' depressed. Today just hasn't been good at all. I cleaned all day to get ready for Dad's cousin and his wife. Then I went over to Justin's. I was going to play CT, but I ended up watching him play Chaos Legion instead. (SUCH an awesome game!! I wish I could play, but I'm sure I'd die too often to accomplish anything.)
I think I may buy a Play Station (not a PS2 just yet). That way, I could borrow CT from Justin. (And maybe FFIX! XD)
OOSH. I need to get my FFX game from Emily. It's disgusting how much progress I
haven't made on that game. When I got it from Justin in the first place, I thought I would be able to play it more than I ended up playing it. Thought I might finish it by the end of the summer. As it is, I've gotten as far as Mt. Zanarkand. While that is progress, it isn't as far as I wanted to be by this time. (Like I said, I had hoped to finish the game this summer.)
I also need to get my Sabriel book from Emily and I never got Spirited Away from Kris. -_-;

Swing, swing... ++ Wednesday, August 13, 2003
Again, there is a song stuck in my head. Swing Swing by All American Rejects. Good song, but it gets annoying after a while.
Anyhow~! I am almost done with getting everything in order for PPCC this semester! (Yes, I know I'm behind. No, I haven't missed any deadlines.) I just have to fill out a few more things concerning student loans, and I'll be all set to start classes! I think... they very well may be hoarding some paperwork that they haven't told me about yet in order to hit me with it later. It wouldn't be the first time...
I'm sick of this layout. It's too grey. I want something... better. I just don't know what. Hm... concepts... I'm getting none. -_- Drat. More grey for the time being, then!
Well, I have to babysit again tomorrow. Oh boy. -_-; I can't wait for the boys to start preschool. As much as I love them, they simply have too much energy and I don't get enough sleep. I even went to bed early last night, and I still couldn't sleep. As a result, I've been short tempered with just about everyone today. But then, I've been a crank for the past week or so. Why? *shrug* Who knows? Lack of social interaction, maybe? Alone time is great, but after two or three weeks of only seeing my family and Justin, Matt, and Kevin... -_- I need some estrogen in my social life. Preferrably some that doesn't share DNA with me.
UGH. I feel sick. I'm not having a good week. And my father's cousin and his wife are coming to stay with us. They arrive this weekend. The house is a bloody mess, and every one of us seems content to let it stay that way while we sit on our asses in front of the TV or (in my case) computer. I HATE THIS! I'm going insane. No, really. I'm losing my bloody mind.

Summer Lovin' ++ Wednesday, August 13, 2003
Riiiight... For some reason Summer Lovin' from Grease is stuck in my head. Do you have any idea how much I dislike that musical? *SIGH* Anyhow, I have to babysit tomorrow at
7 a.m. because Katie starts school tomorrow. You hear that?? Rampart starts
tomorrow! Gyeh! Where'd the summer go, eh?? In some ways, it feels like summer just started, but in others it feels like this summer has draaaaagged for ages. I really need to find a job. This week is the best time to do it, too, because people are going back to school.
I talked to Kate via IM earlier. Nothing new about that, really. I decided that I hate politics. I just hate them. They're boring and don't ever really get anything accomplished except to make people not like one another b/c of party differences.
Anyhow, that's really all. I made a new layout for Visions. Don't know if I like it well enough to use, though. I really need to work on Posession. ACK! I need a to-do list that I can actually follow. Anyhow, CIAO!

Le Sigh... ++ Tuesday, August 12, 2003
I am so unbelievably BORED!! I've layout-ed myself out. Anymore layouts, and I'm going to start flaming myself about the number of times I change layouts. (Though I could use a new one for Visions, perhaps... :p) I really like the new layout up on
Morango!, though. It has Ayumi Hamasaki on it. ^^ J-pop!
Other than that... erm... OH! I got a letter and some pictures from Alice today! (Alice is the German exchange student who stayed with my family a few years back.) I started writing her a letter in return, but I got side-tracked. (Quel supris...) How much does it cost to mail a letter to Germany, anyway? It costs 2 Euro to send one here, according to the stamps on the envelope. ^^; These photos are of me with long hair. Anyone remember that? Back in the day...
Anyhow, erm, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SARAH!! (It's late, I know...) Classes start soon (thank god) and I'm going out job hunting later this week. On Wednesday, I think. Tomorrow shall be dedicated to the doing of laundry. (I am utterly out of clean clothing. I had to borrow Katie's
white top today. It reminded me exactly why I don't where white...) I need a job!!! A job is really the first thing I need to get taken care of. After that, I can work on getting a car (I saw a classic Ford Mustang for sale yesterday! *_*) and, after that, an apartment. Still don't know what I'm going to do about a roommate, though... hm...
Anyhow, that be all there is to tell this time around. I did nothing but SIT IN FRONT OF THE COMPUTER today. That is, after I stayed in bed till 3 this afternoon... -_- I hate being job-less...

MARS ++ Saturday, August 9, 2003
So I just found out that on Aug. 27, Mars will be visible from Earth! I mean, INCREDIBLY visible. The brightest object in the sky, next to the moon. I'm thrilled. Maybe it's an Aries thing, or maybe it's residual Sailor Moon love coming through. Who knows? MUWAHAHAHA!!! I'm so excited! XD
*SIGH* Anyhow, everyone must go see Mars on that night!!

Horoscopes, numerology, and past lives... OH MY. ++ Friday, August 8, 2003
hehe... Alright, I'm doing a team contest type thing at a forum I'm a member of. Each member of the team has to right a horoscope for one or two signs of the zodiac. (I did Libra.) I went to astrology.com to find info on horoscopes. While I was there, I decided to play around with the
numerology thing. ^^; (It's a lot of fun to play at that site, actually!) Anyhow, according to that, my number is 33:
"There are three double-digit numbers, referred to as the master numbers, in Numerology, the last of which is the number Thirty-Three. As the number Thirty-Three can be reduced to Six by adding the two digits (three plus three is six), we can think of Thirty-Three as a more intense, more powerful number Six. Where the Six is loving, caring and humane, Thirty-Three takes those qualities to a higher level. If youre a Thirty-Three, you are highly emotional and sensitive, loving and compassionate, dependable and trusting. Your friends and family adore you because of your kind, gentle nature; children and animals are likely to respond to you enthusiastically, recognizing in you a true friend."
:D I think it sort of fits, actually. ^^; I didn't know you could have double digits in numerology. Anyhow, I also did the past life generator, and according to that I was a knight in a past life. I saved many damsels in distress... lol
Anyhow, I came to a realization today. The reason that I dislike my sisters' sitting-watching-TV-all-day habits is because those habits are just like my sitting-in-front-of-the-computer-all-day habit. I hate that all I do all day everyday is sit at the computer making layouts and graphics. I love making the layouts and the graphics, but I dislike that that's all I do. I need a job. I KNOW that I need a job. I hate that I don't HAVE a job. But, as my motto of late says, "the want of a job does not improve the job market any." -_- I hate that motto. I'm starting to understand Justin's former... erm... well, pissiness is the only word that comes to mind. I really don't like where my life is going right now. (Namely: no where.)
So I watched Treasure Planet with my family (again) tonight. I love that movie! Really! Jim Hawkins is hot! (Is it wrong that I'm saying that about a 15-year-old?) And Capt. Amelia is awesome! ^^; I want to make a layout featuring Captain Amelia, but do you have any clue how hard it is to find images of her?? At all?? Let alone of nice quality.
*SIGH* I'm going to go to bed now. I have to get up early to take Mom to work tomorrow.

Blogging with a twist ++ Thursday, August 7, 2003
I promise that I have a real update (erm, sorta), but first there are some things that have been bothering me of late that I simply HAVE to get off my chest.
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS A FAIR AMOUNT OF VENTING, BITCHING, AND/OR WHINING. DEAL WITH IT OR DON'T READ IT. Please also note that these are simply my feelings as I'm feeling them right now. I don't mean for anyone to take offense at them. Now, on with the show... (contains swearing... you've been warned)...
First and foremost, I am SO tired of apologising to people for things that I do/feel. The first thing is only mildly relevent to anything, and mostly irrelevent, but: I change layouts quite a bit. I KNOW this. I do it b/c I get bored with things mighty easily. Most of the time, my website content doesn't change with my layouts. Sometimes, I'll go through three or four layouts before I work on actual content. To the people who know me, that's a commonly known
fact. SO STOP WHINING ABOUT IT! I'm so sick of apologising to ppl I don't know b/c they think I change layouts too often.
Next on the list of "issues": My feelings for a certain person that we all know and... erm, well, we all know him, anyway. I have very strong feelings for this person. I choose to interpret these feelings as love. I'm sick and fucking tired of apologising to EVERYONE about those feelings! I don't LIKE that I feel the need to say "I'm sorry, Dad (or anyone else), but I really like this guy. My relationship with him is really none of your damned business, anyway!" Or, like I felt earlier tonight, "I'm sorry, but I really like you. Hell, I think I love you. I'm really very sorry that I feel like this. I just thought you might want to know. Sorry. And I'm sorry that I kissed you when you so
obviously didn't want to be kissed. NEXT TIME, WOULD YOU TELL ME
BEFORE I MAKE A FUCKING ASS OF MYSELF???"
Now then, on to the next topic of-- oh to hell with the transitions.
STOP KILLING CRONO!!! Stupid Giga Gaia THING!! I hate you with an all-consuming passion. May you burn in hell for all of eternity. And then some. If you're going to kill Crono, would you at least leave ONE of the others so that I can revive and
heal him??? DAMN YOU!
Damn. Alright, now that that's out of my system... I really didn't do anything today. I sat on my ass. Yep. Woke up, ate, sat, showered, sat, drove Bryce, Patrick, Mika, and Katie back to the Georges', sat, worked on a new layout for Morango! and Fantasia
while sitting, and went to Justin's. Where I sat and watched Matt play Silent Hill 3 and Chaos Legion. Then I (oh, can you guess it??)
sat and played some more Crono Trigger! -_- I hate my life. I'm going to go work on my layouts some more. I want to play FFX. Dammit.

Quel supris ++ Saturday, August 2, 2003
So Justin never called. -_- I spent all evening with my family. I'm not sure that I can really blame him. I was at his house every evening this past week. But he's the one who suggested doing something tonight!
Anyway. I'm STILL BORED. God, this sucks! -_- I really want to go do something!

Moo with me... ++ Saturday, August 2, 2003
Hehe. New layout! Again! Muwaha! I've been doing a lot of new layouts. My ultimate favourite would have to be the one at
All For One (group blog). Speaking of group blogs, I wonder if/when Amitie is going to happen...hm...
Anyway, I'm TIRED. I was up... erm... early doing layouts and such. I want to do a new Visions layout. I really like the one that's up, but I think I want to try something new... I'll see what I can mix up.
I'm bored.
Really bored. I want to DO something! I got paid yesterday. ... not bad. I put in the bank and kept . Hopefully, Justin and I are going to do something later. If/when he calls. He's forgotten (or just not called) in the past, so I'm just waiting to see what will happen this time. I hope that we can do something. I'm just so bored! *sigh*
Righto. Off to do other things. Ah... wastes of time...

Happiness ++ Thursday, July 24, 2003
Happiness is starting your period after almost
a week of cramps. That's right, nearly one full week of feeling as though my insides were being prepared as a liquid dinner.
But I have to babysit for Bryce and Patrick tomorrow. *DEATH* Those boys are waaaaaay too energetic. I'm going to die if they're like that while I'm cramping.
Anyhow, I should head to bed soon. Goo'nigh' all.

Family be Gone ++ Wednesday, July 23, 2003
The family left this morning. Jennifer and I have managed
not to kill each other. I'm not really sure how long that will last. It feels like an almost strained sort of truce. Actually, it was more like a mutual decision
not to bloody the house on the first day that they're gone.
I'm so
bored. I have been all day. I stayed in bed until
3:00. -_- That actually made me mad. I don't wanna do that again! I hate it when I do that. The only productive things I did all day was go shopping for the week, take out the trash, and rent a movie. I'm so, so,
SO bored! I was going to see if I could go to Justin's tonight, but... hm. I was over there last night, and I don't want to go over
all the time, you know? Besides, I've reached a point in Chrono Trigger where I have to fight one of two bosses. I tried them both, and they're both absolute
bitches!
Anyhow, I wish that we could do something other than play video games. Maybe go to a movie or something... (If either of us had movie, that might work.) Okay, I'm going. Ciao, all.

Go check out that link. It's my newest addition to Morango!! :D It's an opinion site. I will eventually put a bunch of essay-type-things explaining my views on different topics, serious and ridiculous. It's a lot of fun! And I like the layout, too.
Anyhow, wanted to show that off. I'm to bed now. I have to work tomorrow, after all. I should have gone to bed a few hours ago, really.

CLAMP has done it again~ ++ Monday, July 21, 2003
CLAMP has a new series!!! XD It's called
Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle and guess who's in it?? GUESS!! Sakura and Syaoran! As in Cardcaptor Sakura! Is that not AWESOME??? It's an alternate universe story that takes place in the Kingdom of Clow. Sakura is the princess, Touya is the king, Yuki is the court sorceror, Fujitaka is a foreign archaeologist who dies while searching for ruins under the sands of the desert that the Kingdom of Clow is in, and Syaoran is Fujitaka's son! It all so exciting!!! XD~ It MUST be brought to America! It has to be! EEK!
I'm giddy! I am so excited that the new CLAMP universe is not comprised solely of X. I'm reading scanlations right now. XD I love CLAMP!! EEK!
Right. Uhm... Today was Sunday. Went to church. I can't go back to that church! I disagree with WAY too much of what the pastor says. And the way that the new music minister handles the choir is horrid. I need to find a new church.
Other than that, I went shopping with Mom and Katie and Amanda. It was supposed to only be me and Mom. The brats invited themselves along. That annoyed the hell out of me. I got some cute shoes, but I didn't have time to find an outfit. We were at the mall for TWO HOURS and I didn't have time. That was because my sisters kept stopping to look at and beg for EVERYTHING. It was such a pain! I may just get the cash from Mom and go shopping by myself. I just want to get a cute outfit that will match my new shoes!
Other than that, I did nothing, really. Worked on Le Torre. Found out about Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle! Mmmm... that's about it. Nothing much to report.
CIAO~!

Blech ++ Friday, July 18, 2003
Next week Jennifer and I get the house to ourselves~ I'm looking forward to not having to worry about messing with my younger sisters or answering to my parents. I'm
not looking forward to spending a week here with Jennifer. But, hey, I'll have the van, so if she gets on my nerves, I can just leave.
Let's see... Today has been utterly uneventful. I need to shower and go to the bank and Pier 1 Imports. After that... I don't know. I may call Justin later today. See if he wants to hang out or something... I was over there all of last night. Played Chrono Trigger for a little while. I died on my way out of prison. The stupid dragon tank killed me. Twice. In a
row. -_- Anyhow, I saw on Kris' blog that she and Emily went to see Finding Nemo yesterday. I hear that's a cute movie...
Came home around 4:30 this morning. O_O I'm a little tired still... Justin was falling asleep when I finally left and I was pretty close to doing the same. Anyhow, I have to go. The shower awaits.

Slept until noon-ish, stayed in bed until 3-ish. Talked to Kate for a little while, confirmed that her parents are morons and jerks. I went to the bank to deposit a check, then headed over to the mall for a late lunch. Jennifer had to do some stuff at the mall, and i tagged along. Honestly, it would have been fine if she hadn't felt the need to update me on the lives of people
I don't know on the way there, pester me about manga and anime while we were there, or sing
over the radio on the way back. -_- I swear, I don't know why I go anywhere with her. Ran into Emi at the mall. That was interesting.
Other than that... I... uhm... did nothing. THRILLING! Anyhow, I'm really sleepy. So goo'nigh'~

WOW... weekend... ++ Sunday, July 13, 2003
So much has happened this weekend. I hung out with Matt and Justin on Friday night! That was a lot of fun, actually. Justin and I sat around listening to music and watching videos on his computer for a while before Matt came over, then we hung out more after Matt went home. I had fun!
Last night I headed over to Emily's to hang out with Matt, Steve, Justin, and Kris. We were originally going to watch a movie, but we went to a park instead. That was fun, for the most part. I had a stupid emotional moment at the park, though. All of the stress of my life caught up to me. I felt like a bit of a jerk. After the park, we went to Village Inn. Steve treated everyone! It was awesome! That was pretty much the end of the night. I took Justin home, then came home myself.
I was wiped today. Didn't go to church. Well, I went, but didn't stay. Mom and Dad came home early, so I came with them! Need to tell them that I don't want to go back to that church. Anyhow, today was Grandma Cross' birthday party at Uncle Ray and Aunt Elaine's new house in Monument. THAT was
boring! Left that early, too...
Tomorrow I have to head to Emily's at noon so that I can get a key from her family and everything. (I'm watching their house/pets while they go to Boulder.) I need sleep, and my eyes aren't focusing right, so I'm going to bed now... Goo'nigh' folks!

Soooo SLEEPY! I don't know why, though. I slept until 3:00 today. I spent the night at Emily's. Watched Kate & Leopold. I
love that movie!! Why can't real guys be like Leopold? He's the perfect gentleman... and he's absolutely beautiful. *sigh*
Anyhow, I get to help Emily vaccuum and dust and move furniture tomorrow. Her room is almost done! :D YAY! Then, I think, we're going to start on the basement. I think that will actually be kind of fun...
So I'm working on a temporary front page for my CLAMP collective, but I don't know what I want to call the site. I was thinking about Red Moon Tales, but I don't like that so much anymore. I need a good name for it!! Hm... brainstorming...

(I really like this song.) Not a whole lot to write about. Talked to Kate and Jyame and Lara last night. That was nice. Then I stayed up till 4:30 finishing this layout and trying to figure out the coding. (Thanks to Kris, it finally works!) I absolutely LOVE Audrey Hepburn. She's my idol! XD Okay, not really. But I do love her. Stupid Girl by Garbage really fits the character, Holly Golightly(sp?) from Breakfast at Tiffany's, since she pretty much uses her looks to get money from men, and flaunts the affection of the one man who truly loves her. *sigh* SUCH a good movie! On my next birthday, I think I want to do an Audrey Hepburn marathon.
Anyhow, I got these two quizzes at Kris' blog. ^^ YAY!
