About Me:
Hmm...what to say about myself? Well, I think to sum stuff up...I like to write...long posts. ^^; If you want to be my friend, be prepared to read long posts from me everyday! Of course, you don't have to visit everyday. *nods* So, sign my guestbook, and I'll sign yours, but don't just sign it and add me as a friend just to have 50 billion friends, ok? Thanks. ^^ Oh, and I'm a supporter of both shonen and shoujo-ai. Other than writing long posts and poems here and there, I enjoy making wallpapers. ^_^ So check them out if you wish!
Also, I TAKE REQUESTS--wallpapers, avatars, banners, buttons, etc.
Hi-hi! Hello. :) Thank you sooooooo much for the comments!! O__O Like wow!! I really appreciate them. >_< Lestat, dude, where have you BEEN?? It's great seeing you again! And Nana, hehe, I'm glad you're updating again~ Also welcome back to jamo and Shi-chan. Same to Deb, Anna-chan, Sinny...ooh, and a new friend Ayaka! [can I call you that? lol, I'm shortening your name!] You're all so sweet...thanks for the comforting words with everything. I know, definitely I don't want to see my grandma in such a state, but it's better than if it's too late. ~__~ I just have to put aside my worries and go. If only we lived closer. Anyhoo, arigatou again for everything.
I'm feeling much better than the other day. ^^; But maybe it's because my brother has been working and so I've gotten time away from him? Lol. Or maybe I've just resigned myself to not worrying about the future trip out to CA for now. Or maybe...I don't know...but man, I was in such a depressed mood before! O__O' I'm very glad I'm doing better now. My Phillies are still losing their baseball games, which is saddening, but I'm trying to be more casual about that, too. >> So yeah...anyhoo...ah, the weather is lovely today. It isn't too hot or humid, and there's some clouds...it's refreshing. I spent an hour or more outside just reading~ The Innocent Mage by Karen Miller is very good! I mentioned that in my last post, too, lol, but yeah. I love my fantasy books. X3 I was planning on doing a whole thing about some of the books I've read...but now I don't feel like rambling on like that, and I'm sure a lot of you wouldn't want to read all of that.
When I try to sleep at night (which is futile btw), I think about things. Anything. Just topics. I just think and think as if I'm writing a post or something...lol. Like seriously, my mind goes and goes on topics! ^^; So I was "writing" in my mind last night about the books I've read and the authors I love and their different styles...how sad. Even that didn't put me to sleep. XD Oh, and I only read fantasy books. ^^; Or historical fiction/romnace...um, I'll just mention my favorite authors right now: Carol Berg, Alice Borchardt, Elizabeth A. Lynn (darn it, I wish she wrote more...), and I'm beginning to like Karen Miller. >D Oh and as you can see...I really only read books by women. ^^;; I guess I like their style more. Even with manga, I tend to go for ones written by women!! Haha...is that odd?? XD
Anyhoo, dinner is just about ready so I need to make this quick! Corey just came home from work and he bought me baseball (and some basketball) card packs~~ Hehe yes, I enjoy opening them. X3 I'm not much of a collector, but I love opening packs of cards to see what I get, lol. And he also got me the Fire Emblem game for DS that I've been wanting. :) Haha, no don't worry though. It's not like he had a sudden change of heart and was all of a sudden generous. He made me pay him $20, and he technically didn't pay for any of the stuff he got. ~__~ I didn't hear the whole story but apparently he kinda conned K-Mart into giving him $54 in credit or something. I honestly don't know what that was about, and he said it was LEGAL whatever he did. O__o; Umm...but yeah...otherwise he wouldn't have gotten me so much for so cheap. I had to thank him overmuch and be all like, "Yes. Thank you! It's so great! You're SO great!" -__-; But whatever. I was hoping he'd get me Persona 4 (I don't OWN it, I only played his), but I wanted Fire Emblem, so that's good.
Today I made a summer e-card. :) Thanks to those that commented already. If you wanna take a look, here it is:
I didn't work on my wallpaper today, but I did some yesterday, and so here's an updated WIP:
Yesterday I spent a good majority of my day cleaning my room! I wasn't planning on it, but then I got the urge. ^^; I was just going to clean Seyonne's tank, but then I noticed how dusty my table was...so then I cleaned that, and then I somehow felt like totally cleaning off my dresser, too! O__O I had sooooooo much crap on it: papers, dust balls, more dust, figures, drawings, tapes, jewelry. And so I managed to take things off, wipe them down, wipe off the top...etc. Wow. It was a lot!! XD And then I even vacuumed. It was quite the overhaul of my room...and yet I don't even think it looks that clean now, lol. Oh well.
Later in the day, I painted my nails. <3 I painted my toenails blue, and my mom helped my paint my fingernails green. ^^v Nice and pretty...refreshing and summery! I have long nails naturally, yet I rarely paint them. But I did yesterday.
Oh...tomorrow is the 4th of July. Happy independence day to those celebrating!! :D Any plans? We need to get fireworks tonight or tomorrow I suppose. No other special plans for us. *thinks* Nope. Ok, I need to go eat dinner now. Sorry for the shorter post~~ And I don't know if I can comment much today, but I'll try. *hugs* Thank you all so much!! Take care~ [and here's an amv I really like! I LOVE the song. <3333 It's slow at the beginning, but then it picks up...and the anime is Junjou Romantica (BL), so I'm sure a lot of you won't care, but whatever.]
P.S. Meg's grandma's surgery went well!! :) Cancer went bye-bye~ So she just needs to recover now. Thank goodness!
my mind isn't all here right now! don't worry, there's pics and things in this so it isn't ALL post.
Hello there, friends~ Arigatou for all the comments before! Thanks so much. How are you doing? Ok? I hope so. Well, thanks to teapot, xaos, anna-chan, Sinny, Cassie, angelbest, and Deb!! I appreciate your comments. ^^ Nice to hear from all of you! Um yeah, I don't feel like replying specifically right now. XD So this is just a short thanking paragraph! Much love. <33333
Yeah, I didn't post yesterday, though I normally would! But thanks to those that commented on my post on my World. O__o; Sorry it was a pretty useless one! Just art updates...and why I haven't been commenting much or feeling like posting. ^^; I just have been in a really down mood lately! Funny how I was in the best of moods during my last post here, lol, and then that really didn't last long. XD Oh well. What a shame. It was nice feeling happy. Hahaa...but I'm feeling a little better today! :) I guess just things have gotten to me...like my brother having these past 3 days (including today) off, and so spending all day with him is just torture!! Ugh. That and I don't know...just things. Things in general have been making me upset. I was so crabby yesterday! Mostly at my dad. ~__~'
See, he's been trying to set up a trip out to California some time...so we can see my grandparents, since grandma has Alzheimer's and is in really bad shape...so you know, it's like we gotta see her before anything worse happens. Anyway, he just decided to set the trip up for october, and I didn't want that. It means I'll have to miss some days of school...and I honestly don't want to go on a plane. I know it's a stupid fear, but I'm kinda afraid of flying! ^^; Yes yes, "it's safer to fly than to drive." Blah blah blah, but I can't help but worry. >> Ugh. And it will be sad seeing grandma in that state...alzheimer's is so horrible!! I don't know. But I was just really in a bad mood over all of that, and dad was saying, "Well, I have NO sympathy for you." when I mentioned how I'm not comfortable having to get up early and then fly on a plane. Sure, maybe I was being a bit selfish, but I get major anxiety about things like this. Especially things in the future...so even though this is months away, I was freaking out about it yesterday! v__v Like it was life or death right then! I hate thinking about things in the future...that and anything that messes with my schedule sets me off. Some sort of OCD tendencies or something, or maybe it's just my anxiety. Whatever...
I don't think I'm making much sense, lol. Uh, but yeah. I just haven't been in a happy mood lately! I haven't wanted to comment, post, or work on my wallpaper, so my wall is just the same as before pretty much. :/ Click here for the screenshot/WIP. It's basically the same as last time. I finished the outlines, and so some time I need to start the coloring and whatnot. ~__~ Whenever I feel like it! On my world I shared the links to some photos I took and submitted on dA! Thanks to whoever looked at them. Most people don't care about my photos. XD How do people get so many views there? Like some photos I see, and I don't think they're that great! O__o It's a mystery to me, lol. Some people get thousands of views in one day on a piece, and I struggle to get 5, haha. Here's two fish ones:
Ok! Enough of that. You don't have to look at them if you don't want! Anyhoo, yesterday I had to get out of the house from my brother, so mom and I went to the mall. (yes, again. no, teapot, I'm not a shopaholic! It's just a coincidence that I post after going to the mall.) Went to Borders, and I got some manga and a book. I got Magical JxR volumes 3 and 4 (really manhwa), and the second novel in the Innocent Mage series (that's not the name of the series...I don't remember what it is though, lol; that's the first book's title) by Karen Miller! Fantasy, of course. I really like the book so far! ^__^ So that's why I got the second one. >D The cashier guy was pretty weird...like he was on drugs or something! ^^; He kept talking to me about this book "Gothic Charm School" or something [why, cause I had on a black shirt from hot topic?], and then he mentioned Bamboo Blade...and inquired about the books I read. I don't know; he just seemed really strange. O__o And I couldn't hear a lot of what he said, so I just smiled and nodded my head, lol, and assumed I heard his comments. XD Like what am I supposed to say??
After Borders, mom and I went to Aerosoles--a shoe place. I've been in need of nice sandals. [took me 3 tries to spell that right] So we went there cause their shoes/sandals are supposed to be really comfortable, and mom has ordered stuff from their catalog before. Uh...the lady there was overly helpful and annoying. Gawd, I wanted her to shut up and go away!! "Need any help? Would you like me to find that in your size? I think you should try a smaller one because our sizes run big." OMG I can't count how many times she said that! "Our shoes run big." or something along those lines. It was so retarded, like OK, I GET IT. Cause I'm normally a size 7 1/2, and she kept insisting I try a 6! The 7 felt small in some areas, so how is a 6 going to be better?? DX Ugh. It was quite a hard task for me to find ones that fit...and I finally found a really cute pair. >> They're pretty darn uncomfortable though!! Cause they're platform/high-heel kinds!! O__O I've never worn a pair of anything that high before, and so they'll take getting used to. I'm afraid I'll trip and twist my ankle at some point, lol. They're rough on my feet, but they look so cute!! T__T They're white and have straps going across and they're just...cute...and make me taller~~ I guess I just can't wear them for long amounts of time!
After that, we went to the grocery store...nothing special there. At home, I had to deal with Corey. Surprisingly, he has been fine today! Actually pretty nice and fun so far. XD Yesterday wasn't bad since I was out with my mom, but still. It's just so much better when he's at work. *rolls eyes* Uh, watched some baseball last night...Phillies lost. ~__~ Bah. Should've won. I swear, what happened to our world series team of last year?? We totally suck now! UGH!!! I could complain more, but I won't! I'll spare you all. *thinks* OMG. It's july!! Noooo...where has summer gone?? Seriously. This month has gone too quickly...July 8th though, we're going to a baseball game. I hope to goodness gracious that we win that game at least.
Oh, shout-out to Meg's (innocent heart's) grandma. She's having surgery tomorrow (thursday) in regards to her breast cancer. So please pray for her! If you don't pray, then just keep her in your thoughts. Ok?? THANK YOU. <33
I think that's all I have to talk about. Sooooo...I'll share with you this music video. *laugh* I don't know about some of you guys, but I like Bollywood music. >>' You know, the Indian films with the dancing and singing! Woot! I wish I could find one with better quality and also showing the full dance moves to this one...but oh well (the video here sucks & isn't the real scene from the movie, so I really just want you to hear the song!). The song is "Rehja Re" (spelling something along those lines), and it's from the movie Golmaal. It's a really funny movie. X3 But yeah, I love dancing to this one, lol. I have most of the moves memorized! ^^;; Don't make fun of me...
And if you're interested, you should search for the other songs from it, cause they're really catchy, too! ^_^ Anyhoo, that's all from me. Sorry for wasting your time with this. I swear I had more interesting and coherent things to mention...but now I forget, so oh well. :( Sorry for not commenting a lot. *hugs* I'll make it up to you sometime...when I feel in a better mood, alright? Gomen. I LOVE YOU GUYS THOUGH. Take care!
