arigatou! snow day yesterday, a new fishy vid, etc. etc.

Hello, my dears! How are all of you? Fantabulous? Well, that would be the best possible answer. XD Very hard to attain though. Anyhoo, thank you so very much for all the comments! You guys are great~ Many many welcome backs to people who have gone missing!! Like Koten, Krys, and Jungy!!! :D So nice to see you again! ^^ And roseeyes, and anyone else that I haven't heard from in some time~ It's always great to see you sweet friends again. *hugs* Thanks for the happy birthday wishes to my brother, as well as any encouragement for my classes! And lots of great things you mentioned. Arigatou~ Brrr!! It's so cold!! Sooooo cold!! *__* But we got lots of snow two nights ago, giving me a SNOW DAY YESTERDAY. <3333 Yup! I didn't have classes yesterday. ^^ Now, I would've been ultra super psyched about it, had it been any other day, or at least, any other wednesday, but this time I wasn't so excited because I already had my art class canceled. >< And I don't mind fashion or philosophy! Hmph. Oh well. A day off is a day off, and sleeping late is always appreciated. :3 At my school we can sign up for this text message thing that sends you one regarding school closings and whatnot. ^^ So when I got up to go to the bathroom at like 8, I turned on my phone to wait for a text. O____O And it CAME! And I was like YES!!! Back to sleep for me!!! *laugh* But I don't always trust things I see, so I had to check my emails and the school site, too, just in case. I never want to think that school is closed when it really isn't...or visa-versa. *had that happen to me before* But too bad I had classes today! Oh well. At least now it's my as-always 3-day weekend~~ I didn't really do anything yesterday...just lazed around, enjoying my lack of classes...my brother didn't work though, so I had to do things with him all day. :/ Oh, and if you're wondering, we didn't get the new fish yet. Because of the snow, they weren't delivered, so probably next week we'll get them...I hope. I hope they're not really still being delivered and are freezing somewhere...if so, then they'll all be dead. And we don't want that. Speaking of fishies, I took more videos of them...and I'm waiting for my better one to be uploaded on youtube. It takes f-ing forever!!! >E No doubt my crappy dark one worked, but my better one is still attempting to upload. What a stupid site. So yeah, hopefully by the end of this post, I'll be able to show you!! Then you can see the new guys we got last week. :3 Oh...well, yesterday I did work on accounting homework...this time not so hellish as the first assignment since it was only 5 questions that were in the form of a multiple choice quiz! We just had to choose the answer and then type up why we think it's right. But...it still took a long time. *laugh* Erica kept texting me...it's like she was PSYCHIC. She texted me RIGHT when I started to work on it! I was like O__o especially since she usually does hw way later in the evening (and so do I), but I was doing it at 4:30pm instead. So she and I must've exchanged a billion texts about the answers. XD Like what we got, what page it was on, etc...lol...we are so pathetic. It took us over an hour to do 5 questions! And we were both doing them!! Our prof says not to work together on homework...but OH WELL. So I had accounting and chemistry today. I must say that it wasn't so bad!! Accounting went a lot better than usual! D: I felt like I understood this stuff in chapter 2 much better than the first chapter. We did more questions from the book and on this handout during class, and Erica and I actually went through them pretty quickly. ^^ Unfortunately we got one of the homework problems wrong...the answer was "D. both B&C" as opposed to our answer of just B. ~__~ Ugh! I hate those. Don't you? When on tests there's the dreaded "D. all of the above"!! I hope she at least gives us half-credit because we DID get half of it right! *nods* That biatch! I still don't care much for her, but I suppose I'm getting used to her demeanor. :/ And I talked to her more after class, and there she FINALLY sent me the answers to our fist homework. She tried to feed me that excuse about the school's email not working, but again, she can't say that...I emailed her at her home one anyway. XP Chemistry was boring as usual. But at least it's easy so far. My prof is sooooooooooo monotone...he's so bleh. XD Like he could show SOME enthusiasm! O__o But, he's a nice guy...and as long as he keeps teaching the class in an easy manner, then yay to that. He also usually lets us out early (today was an exception though), too, which is nice. After chem, I came home! :D Read the newspaper, ate toast and hot chocolate, and then went on here. Putzed around for a while...doing a tiny bit of commenting, and wasting time with stupid youtube. Oh, it finally uploaded. So YAY. <33 Speaking of youtube, that last amv I had in previous post was actually quite good!!! I thought it was well made and matched really well. ^__^ No one told me in their comments about it, but I got to watch it at home. *laugh* So apparently not many of you watch the vids I share. XD Totally ok...especially since that one had yaoi content. ^^= Hehe. But it was very good, so go to my last post to watch it if you want. :3 And here is the video I took of the fishies!!! *laugh* And Totoro makes an appearance with his barking, too. XD Too bad it's so blurry. Stupid youtube quality. Yesterday I made an e-card!! Birthday present for foxerz. :D And he loves it, so yay!! ^__^ Thanks to those that already checked it out~~~ So please look if you haven't and want to! Hmm...let's see...anything else?? Well, I gotta work on my chem lab homework since we have to email those to her before saturday. I usually do it on friday, but I figure I should...maybe do it a bit earlier? Well, we'll see if I'm up to it. I've been on the comp a bit too long, and my eyes and neck etc. are paying the price. XD I'll try to comment more later, but if I'm unable to, then look forward to [hopefully] more on the weekend. I'm really sorry if I haven't gotten to you that often. I gotta say that I've been pretty anti-social lately!! When I'm like that, I just don't feel like reading anyone's posts or commenting. :( Sorry~~ But hey, I'll try today. I feel more awake than usual, despite not sleeping well last night, simply because I slept without a sleeping pill. ^^ So that was good! Although I woke up every hour or two...not fun. *sigh* Not fun...but it was without drugs!! ^^;;; Ok, I should go now. I've made this long enough. *hugs* Thank you soooooooooooo much for putting up with me! ^_^ I love you guys a ton!!! *huggles* Take care, my dears~~ And if you watch the fish vid, I appreciate your dealing with my narration. XD

no time to write a title right now...but yeah!

Hey sweeties! *hugs* Ah, my dear friends. ^__^ How are all of you? Hopefully ok. >< For the weekend is over...and it's back to the grind again. Wow, lots of comments! Welcome back Capri-chan, foxerz, Jace, darke [I need to comment you more; I'm sorry!], Deb, Oli-chan (it's totally ok, girl! :3), shizuka (yeah, I'm used to it by now! Hehe.), chibi, and welcome to a new friend, teas mini twin! I'll call you tea-chan, ok? ^_^ Nice to meet you! Thanks for the comments about everything...about my classes, my dog's b-day, and cleaning rooms! All sorts of interesting things you mentioned. So thank you all soooo very much. sparkle, you're one to talk about calming down!!! *laugh* But thanks. I know I shouldn't freak out so much about this class. XD Oh, and yeah, some of you thought it odd that I could remember so many fish's names, but some didn't...hah, well, it's just like having any kind of pet! You would name them and could tell them difference between them and others, right? So yeah. ^^ Arigatou! Ugh, my stupid neck hurts. >.< It's probably because of looking down all the time in classes. And right now [in the library] I'm on the computer, listening to my failing mp3 player...but I've gotten it to work! The only thing is that I have to keep it in this right position in my shirt or else the sound will go out. D: So I'm trying not to really move, lol...otherwise, it will die again. My poor baby...but I'll have to get a new player soon!! Oh, and no, it isn't just the headphones...and even if that were the case, they don't make replacement headphones for this thing (samsung pendant)...they're special since they go around and up into your ears, but they're attached to the actual player, which then hangs from your neck like a pendant/necklace...so the headphones are different from normal ones. ~__~ Boo. It's just there's something wrong with the connection somewhere, and that's why. My player actually SPLIT OPEN the other day...somehow...and then I shoved it close...hoping it would work. Today is my brother Corey's birthday! So happy birthday to him. He's now 28...although he constantly acts like he's 6 or something. *sigh* He's working today, thank goodness, and I'm surprised he didn't "call off" because of it being his b-day. I guess because he called off "sick" on sunday since he didn't want to work out in the cold, bringing in the carts...He's so lazy. And his laziness causes me to suffer. ~__~ I was so pissed off that he wasn't going to work! He was totally ok, he just didn't want to do more than usual. UGH!! But the day wasn't so bad, I guess. :/ He spent most of the day cleaning out his old car so I could take pics of it and put it on vehix.com [which I did yesterday] because he bought himself a new car! Well, used car, but yeah. I'm hoping that it'll be just right for him, and that he won't be able to complain about anything now!!!! He better not! Or I'll be extra pissed off. All he does is complain, and he doesn't take anyone's advice to get better. *sigh* >> So he picked up his car yesterday; like I said, it's a ford Taurus, which happens to have leather interiors and a great engine. He likes it a lot, and I think it's really nice, too. So good for him. Happy birthday. I didn't get anything for him. I'll just give him some money...and he said that my doing the vehix thing for him was good enough. THANK GOODNESS. Thank you, master for letting me get by with that. -___-' [see if you can see the vehix ad here. If not...then...ok. XD] So.......I had accounting and chemistry so far this morning. And soon I have to go to chem lab. Chem was fine [just had it]...nice and easy, and boring. Got back our chem quizzes, and I got 100%, so yay! :D But I knew that already. I dreaded going to accounting class this morning...I really didn't want to go. I hate seeing that biatch of a professor's face, hate listening to her and her robotic tones...and she never replied to my email!! Well, not for a whole week. In class she told me she replied, so I finally got it. She said it was because she didn't get any notification about the email in the school website, but she's a liar. I emailed her via her normal home email address, not school's, so she can't give me that excuse. And she didn't help me anyway; she still didn't send me the answers to those homework questions that I couldn't see...so whatever. ~__~ In class, we got back our quizzes, and SOMEHOW I got 18/20. Why? How? *sigh* It was mostly because it was a multiple choice quiz, and I have a chance on those. It was mostly definitions and things, and I can do those. It's the homework with the actual financial statements that I fail at. I still don't really understand how to do those...and I still despise the class and her. Me getting a good grade on the first quiz means nothing...but at the same time, I'm feeling a BIT more comfortable with the material...so maybe I'll be fine? I just don't know. I just find it that whenever I complain a lot about a course and get really frustrated and confused with it, I somehow end up doing ok...getting used to it or whatever. But we'll just see!! If you read my post on my world, then you'll know that tomorrow I don't have my really long and annoying art class with the creepy prof! Yay!! ^_^ So that's really nice...but it isn't good because it's canceled since his mom is in the hospital in critical condition. I hope/pray that she recovers. ;__; But...thank you for canceling class! *laugh* I'm sorry! Does that make me a bad person to be happy about this??? No class because his mom is in serious condition?? I'm probably a bad person...but yeah, I hope she gets better. Yesterday I had...fashion and philosophy. Honestly, nothing special happened. I love mondays. Those classes are nice and smooth-riding~ At least for now! And nothing much happened at home...I don't think...or remember. ^^;; Umm...*thinks* I can't think of anything else to talk about, so I'll go find an amv for once! I haven't done that in a while, ne? *looks* But my school comps hate youtube. >< *laugh* So this vid is a total surprise! I don't know if it's good enough!! But it does involve yaoi since it's from Junjou Romantica, so don't watch if you don't like it...but it's with this awesome song I love by Kylee called "vacancy." So if you watch it, tell me if it's good! XD Sorry~~~ Alrighty, I should seriously eat my lunch and go to lab now! *hugs* Thanks soo much for being here for me. You guys mean a lot to me. I'll try to visit more later, after homework. Take care! P.S. We're getting more fishies today in the mail. XD Yup, so we'll have...3 more to my total from my last post! I can't wait to go home and name them! Haha!! >3

Warning: thanks, cleaning, fish, yesterday, & shorter post!

Hi-hi! *hugs* I hope you are all doing well. ^_^ After all, it's the weekend...or at least it is right now while I'm posting! Thank you so very much for the comments! It was interesting to read them all...see your opinions on the 40's and on computer art! Some of you agree with me, and actually a few sided with my art teacher. >< Well, I still think he's ridiculous to badmouth graphic arts done on the computer!! >E Anyhoo, welcome back Oli-chan [you've disappeared from my life so many times...], Joselyn (it's been FOREVER, although you didn't really comment, lol), jamo, anna-chan, and anyone else that feels that they haven't been here in a long time. XD THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! *hugs* Day 2 of my 3-day weekend...going nicely. I think. Well, it's going differently. >< I CLEANED MY ROOM TODAY. O__O I haven't cleaned it in a very long time...I had piles of clothes on my floor from Christmas...so I put those away, but then after that, I noticed my carpet was dirty, so then I had to vacuum, but I had to also pick up my disgustingly dirty bags (a purse, little backpack, messenger bags) that were just collecting dust ever since I shoved them in that corner when we moved here (now 2 years ago), hahaha. So it was realllllllyyyyy gross. *shivers* I hate cleaning because once I start, I can't seem to stop without doing a lot more...once I see something dusty, I'll want to clean it!! T__T Ewww. So I took my bags outside and dusted them off...and emptied them out, finding some books and my tarot cards. Lol. I also found some old rice cake. Hahaaa. Gross. After that, I finally got to vacuum...and then I cleaned my bathroom sort of, too. I think it's because I've been watching "How Clean is your House?" that's on BBC america...it's a really fun show to watch, seeing such dirty disgusting houses go from that to clean. XD So now I'm like, "Ewww! Bacteria everywhere!!" So I HAD TO CLEAN TODAY. I need to feed the fish soon. The little babies are doing ok...I think. Although right now they're just sort of huddling. >.< And Bossman was chasing them around some...but overall, he's doing a lot better. I really think he feels that he has to take care of the little guys! It's funny! *laugh* Tomorrow we're hoping to move them back into the big tank. Someone asked how many fish we have now (yes, it's hard to keep track when they keep arriving and dying)...we have 16 I think. :/ Let's see, I'll have to list them [btw, we got rid of Rammy...gave him back to the store]: new discuses (7)--Victor, Carlos, Pedro, Otis, Tigger, Blaise, QT; older discuses (4)--Bossman, Knuble, Lupul, George; Tetras (2)--Neon & Peon; little catfish (2)--Reggie & Little Lou. Nope, that's 15. Oh, duh!! *laugh* TODD!! Todd the angelfish, ok, that's 16. Jeez, I'm sorry Todd...my poor baby...how could I forget? I feel so bad now...haha...and then if you want to count mom and my bettas, that's 18. My dad thinks it's strange that I name them all, and that I somehow remember them all and can tell the difference. I'm sure some of you agree. Hmm...yesterday I pretty much did nothing. I got to stay home alone like last week because mom and dad took Corey out again to look for a new car. And he BOUGHT ONE!! :D Well, not new, but used. But just thank goodness...now hopefully he won't complain about his car making him ache. D: He got a Taurus that was somehow souped (suped?) up with this hardcore engine and leather interiors. Which just seems so strange for a Taurus...um...he doesn't have it home yet though. They had some maintenance to run on it first, and he should be able to pick it up monday. Tomorrow is my dog Totoro's birthday. ^__^ Awwwwwwww...he's going to be 9!! ;__; That sounds so old. And then Corey's b-day is Tuesday...he's going to be 28. THAT sounds older. And happy early b-day to Twist-chan, since hers is on monday. :3 *hugs* How I went from my bro getting a car to birthday talk...I don't know, but yeah. I didn't really do anything else yesterday. Played video games mostly. :/ (made this the other day; I don't think I shared it...did I? But thanks to those that already commented. *huggles*) Hey, so I'm sure a lot of you noticed the trophy case thing on theO, right? In our portfolios? Well, I think that's pretty neat, but at the same time, it will probably cause some problems! Like people just submitting a ton of crap to get higher trophies and whatnot...or competing more, or only caring about them. ~__~ But still, I can't lie and say I wasn't pleasantly surprised to see several in my case. ;D Anyhoo, anything else? Oh, accounting. My prof never replied to my email requesting help or querying about an announcement she made on the site...so oh well. I know she's a biatch; I hate her, that class, bah. But I'm getting help from different sources, like Krystal (thank you again, dear), and George (remember? My older handicapped friend? But he hasn't been on campus, so we've been emailing, even though it's hard for him to do so) because he used to teach and tutor for business. ^_^ So I'm really hoping that things will get better in that class. REALLY hoping. If not, I might have to try the tutors at school or something. I bet my teacher doesn't like me; she probably thinks I'm annoying with all my emails...and the fact that I complained about my check minus on that homework. ~__~ Oh well. Whatever. I don't think I have anything else to mention! Feel free to listen to my playlist, lol. I added more songs to it. I love Fisher--her songs are soooo great. <333 Yup, yup. I should probably go have my 4:00 lunch now....I eat later and later. Take care, my sweets!!

warning; thanks, internet/laptop, new fish, 40's, art, & today

Hi my dears! How are all of you?? *hugs* As usual, it was a great pleasure to read your comments!! ^^ I really really appreciate the encouragement about my class. >< Stixx, you're a lifesaver! Really!! I'll make sure to ask you more questions...thank God you're an accounting major!! D: But...why?? Why would you take that?? XD Ugh, but I just hate it still...anyhoo, thanks a lot. Welcome back, Rachel, cassie, angelbest, lute, saku-chan, and anyone else!! So nice to see you and read your comments. <3 You guys are the best. Arigatou~~~ Ah, what a relief to have a 4-day week all the time...3 day weekends every week! >_< I really really need them. Because these 4 days...are so stress-packed. *sigh* And I'm being forced to post on my stupid laptop instead of my desktop that I usually use when at home. My desktop downstairs has a problem connecting to the internet sometimes, and I don't know why!! It just doesn't connect...so I keep restarting it, turning it off and on, refreshing the internet thing...but ugh! It's so annoying! So now I have to use my slow, dying laptop. ~__~ I hate it since I can't find somewhere comfortable to use it...so my neck/shoulders hurt from looking down at it. D; I really do need a new laptop though. Since Circuit City is going out of business...around here, at least, they're having major sales!!! So maybe I can get one there??? Cause I need one. ;__; But at the same time, I would be like nooooo....since I wub my precious huge lunker of a laptop. Lolz. XD I grow attached to things easily. Even inanimate objects. And fish!! XD So yes, it's time for the fish report~ We got more discus! Cute little babies. Ok, they're not "babies" exactly, but they're a lot smaller than the ones we've had for a while. They came through the mail; my dad bought them on Ebay. XD Yeah, buying live fish on ebay??? But it worked!! This time was much easier on them than the last bunch. They didn't have to travel for a long time or be left out in the cold. ^^ So they're all alive and healthy. Got 7 more. And yes indeed, I named them all...well, my mom named 2. Otis, Victor, Carlos, Pedro, QT (dad named that one), Blaise II (since Blaise I died), and Tigger. :3 Hehe. ^^ But they're so cute since they're quite small!! They're in the holding tank, aka the uh "prison" to make sure they're not sick or anything...with Bossman. So they're all crowding him like little brothers/sisters admiring a big brother. *laugh* It's funny. But he sometimes chases them and nips them...but not too much. So soon we'll move them all to the big tank. ^_^ Otis is my fave. Lolz. I love 40's/50's movies. XD The style back then was so elegant!! I have on this movie called "Three Hearts for Julia" made in 1943. I'm not really watching it...I just have it on...but I really like old movies like that. >__< All the ladies would wear such lovely things! And I don't know...they seemed prettier than actresses these days, lol. I know that was a random point...but I thought I'd say that. XD And I like how they would always be so covered up!! I must be old-fashioned or something. Hahaha...but you know, lots of women these days are all about the skimpiest outfits possible!! "Skirt below the knees??? Oh GAWD NO. I need it as high as possible. Show some skin." But not back then! I'm a weirdo for a girl, I guess...I wat 50's styles to come back. ^^;;; Ok...I'll stop with that odd talk now... ...and I'll return to ranting!! :D Yes, more ranting!! I'll talk about yesterday first. I had...fashion, philosophy, and art. Yup. Well, the first two classes were fine. No complaints there. But then art...I'll say that, ok, my prof Justin did a lot better than last time. >.< He talked more...a lot more than he did the first day, but gawd, I think that was a bad thing. At some points, I think he talked TOO much. Yesterday we were using black ink to paint animals...well, dead animals (ones that were stuffed). Mostly birds. He wanted us to use the ink and paint from the middle out...adding shades and whatnot. Well, he kept ragging on my style!!! >E I'm a detail person! And so when I draw or paint, I get right into the details...like the feathers or fur!! And my style is sketchy, you know? I can't be all flowy or really general with my forms...I just can't. But he kept trying to make me!! He'd come over and tell me to do it differently. And then towards the end he gave me this HUGE paint brush. >> So I couldn't do small details. ~__~ F YOU!! *sigh* And then he gave me trouble in another way...he brought up computer graphics and doing art on the computer!! His opinion on it: You can't do art on the computer like you can with real medium and doing it by hand. It's not the same. He doesn't like computer art, and he kept saying that you don't have to have as much talent to do it. My Opinion: GO screw yourself. WTF?? You can't do art on the comp like you can on paper? WHAT?? It's not as good? Uh-huh. RIGHT. Ok, whatever. Obviously I was quite pissed off! Since I'm a waller! And many of you draw using photoshop or otherwise with a tablet, or yeah, whatever!! So I was greatly offended when he said that. And he wouldn't stop. So I would try to debate him about it...and he would keep saying that you can't draw from life using the computer since you're just looking at a screen. What? WTF? Then what about when you're drawing on paper? Wouldn't that be the same since you're "just looking at the paper"? Are you not allowed to look away and draw something you see??? ~___~'' So I kept trying to explain photoshop and things to him...but he would get defensive, and I would just get mad. He's a terrible instructor. >> And you can't even debate with him, since he has so much trouble with speaking NORMALLY. It still makes me uncomfortable to ever talk with him. This will be a tough semester... Oh, and when he came over to critique me more on my style, he tried to give me some suggestions on things to improve, but he couldn't. He even said, "Well...uh...I...[he's always stuttering...] I mean...all of your art is really good, so I can't say anything bad about it..." Ok, well, if that's the case, thanks, so stop trying to make me change. I don't know how I'll put up with that class. *sigh* At least the 3 freaking hours went more quickly...but still very aggravating. When I got home, close to 6pm...I was very tired, but what did i have to do? Study for my accounting quiz. Yeah. FUN. Kill me. I barely studied. I couldn't bare to. My stupid prof didn't reply to my email...asking for the answers to the homework we handed in. Even though she told me to email her about it. She never did. She's useless. I can't stand her. KD, I CAN hate her if I want. So I just studied what I could!! Today I had class, and it was horrible. She said we were going to "play 2 games" before we take the quiz...we didn't. We got into groups to do an activity that involved using dirty old M&M's to place under account categories or something...she didn't explain it well, and when she went over the answers, I returned to my desk more confused than before. Then I took the quiz. -__-; I might've done ok since it was all multiple choice!! At least I had a chance there!! :D But still, I left the class feeling terrible...terrible and clueless. But thank you again, Krys, for the wonderful help. You're so sweet! *hugs* Um, after that I had chem...took some notes, and then we had the quiz. It was easy until the last one, where we were all like O__o. Are you sure this equation balances???? So then the girl next to me agreed that she should ask our teacher about it. XD He said that yes it indeed balances!! And then he actually gave us a clue! *laugh* Several. "All the coefficients are more than 2 and less than 7...and the numbers on that compound and the other are the same." After he said that, I got it right away. ^^ How nice of him to help us~~ Hehe!!! And now I'm at home, trying to relax!! *nods* Hopefully my internet will work later...but until then, I'm not commenting. I hate being on my laptop for long periods of time. ~__~ So I'm sorry again. *hugs* And yesterday I didn't do like any visiting. No time. Wednesdays I'll basically be a non-entity around theO. Ok? *hugs* Thanks so much for putting up with me. This was probably really long...sorry about that~~~ Take care! Good luck to all of you with everything. <33

warning...hahahaa...I gots me some ranting to do!

Hey hey people! My dears! I love you guys~~ Thank you sooooo much for the comments. You know I really appreciate them. :3 It looks like a got a lot, but shizuka replied several times [welcome back again, girl!!! SO NICE TO SEE YOU after a year...lol], and I got some other double/triple posts. *laugh* Which is ok. Some of you commented again just to apologize for that. XD It happens a lot, so don't worry!! Thank you all for watching those vids of my fish and whatnot!! Yes, they're cute, pretty, and also can be aggressive. In the big tank's vid, it looked really empty, but we got some more plants, and now it's a lot prettier. :3 I haven't taken a new vid yet though. Welcome back Cesteel, shizuka, chibi, KD, and everyone else!! ^_^ I have the best friends ever here. XD I need you guys to keep my sanity...or at least to cheer me up! Something!!! I HATE ACCOUNTING!!!!!!!!! ATPIOHAGOPRIH 09473589U5T6PG....ADOFIJA . Sorry, I had to spaz on the keyboard for a bit. I would totally do that for a lot longer...I'm just so frustrated. I take back what I said before...about taking back that I hate my teacher and class. I do. I DO. It's horrible. I have never struggled to understand something like this before...ok, maybe geometry back in 9th grade or chem in 10th, but that's it! This is the hardest class EVER...why can't I understand it?? I'm a 4.00 student! I get straight A's...but accounting is going to screw me over. My prof fails to explain things in a manner that helps me understand...she fails to explain ANYTHING. She doesn't teach!!!! I know I shouldn't "judge" it after only having 3 classes, but it's enough for me to go crazy. We had our first chapter's homework due today, so I did it last night. God have mercy on my soul...it was HELL. I spent over 3 hours on it. ;____; And I didn't get it. I had my dad help me for 2 hours, and he's a business man...he knows this number stuff [balance sheets, income statements, etc.], and even he had a hard time... And bless him for he spent those 2 hours with me, while he was really tired and wanted to sleep. >< He looked HORRIBLE when we "finished." My poor dad...he doesn't get any sleep so he ends up going to bed sometimes around 8pm, but I kept him up until almost 10, so he was about to die while helping me. ^^; And we still didn't get the answers right. *sigh* Oh, and I handwrote it all. We were supposed to do it in Excel, in spreadsheets. I didn't know how to use it, so I didn't. I told my teacher about that, but whatever. She probably still won't give me full credit. Though she said she will for effort, not correctness...well, if 3 hours working is effort, then freaking give me full credit. Who cares if it's in pencil??? *sigh* >)))< I'm just so...frustrated with this...already! None of my friends get it, but it seems like the rest of the class already knows all this stuff! It's just flying by my head...nothing is making sense. I'm not used to not understanding. *perfectionist* Ugh...so yeah...I had to do that rant first since I just had that class. It's fresh in my mind. Like I can't think of anything that happened last night other than accounting homework. I wasn't cognitive of anything. ARGH. I WANT TO CRY. I will TRY to get help from my prof, but I doubt she will.She says to go to the tutoring center, but I don't wanna. It makes me feel even worse about myself when I do. ~__~;; Like I said, I end up crying...when I'm frustrated about things like this. *sigh* Um...well, on to other stuff...after acct, I had chemistry. I was bored out of my skull. Oh well. At least I wasn't confused--just bored. My prof talks in monotone. He is...SO enthusiastic. -__-' Like...wow...talking about ions, balancing equations, elements...is fun enough, but then with him talking in monotone? Classic. [if you can't tell, that's all sarcasm] And now I'm here in the library...waiting for my chem lab. At least that's usually interesting since we do LABS!! And actually DO STUFF. And our instructor, Nadia, is awesome. :D She's so laid back and cool. XD I wish all my teachers were like her... If you haven't noticed, I finally got my wallpaper to submit! Well, I didn't...adam did. He was helping me, replying to my PM's, asking me stuff, etc. and then he got it to work!!! ^^ So now if you haven't, you can look at my recent wallpaper. :3 It's actually over a week old, but it didn't work till yesterday. XD Oh, I barely visited anyone yesterday. So I'm sorry. I didn't have any time...that homework...took it all out of me. I didn't have any fun. Tonight I have to do some drawings for art, and do something for fashion...so don't count on A LOT of comments. I'm sorry again for not being around as much. School is torture. Tomorrow I have that art class...which I'm not looking forward to. Being with my creepy art teacher until 5pm??? NO THANKS. *sigh* And with no snacks? I'm going to die. And then I'll have studying to do when I get home...it'll be late...so probably not commenting tomorrow either. I'm sorry! >< I may have fridays off, but that means squat. These 4 days are packed full of hell. I don't usually complain about school all that much...but yeah, I just had to rant today!!! Ummmmmmmmm....in OTHER news, today's inauguration day for Barack Obama! Woooot!! New president! :D I didn't get to watch any of it though...stupid classes. I think some of you had off today? Did you watch it? Do you care? Do you not? XD I could hear it from the classroom next to us in chem--very loud. And now...in other other news, fish!!! Ok, so we got this new smaller tank on the weekend. On saturday, I think. We went to this pet store, where like...all of the fish were dead. ^^;;; But they had cute bunnies!!! XD We got the tank there since it was on sale, and now we have it set up. It's going to be for the new discus when they arrive (yes, through the mail again...) so that they don't contaminate the big tank. They'll be in there for a while to make sure they're not sick...but for now, the little tank is a "prison." *laugh* You know Knuble and Bossman? And the Ram? I mentioned that they're really agressive and chasing the other fish...so we put Rammy and Bossman in prison for now. XD They're scared straight!! Hahaha...but Knuble is still in the big tank, being a jerk, but not as much as when the others were in there, too. :3 It gives George and Lupul some breathing room! Todd isn't affected...no one bothers him. XD He's the shuper star, sparkle, yup he is. <33 My dad even wants to get rid of Rammy and Bossman...sell them or trade them...but I don't want to. :( They may be mean and bossy, but we raised them...I would still miss them... Alright, I'll stop now. I need to eat lunch before lab. *sigh* I'm sorry for this long rant-filled post!!!!! I'm SORRY!! D: But thank you all a ton if you made it through safely...oh, safely? I just remembered we got lots of snow yesterday. XD It was sooooooooooo pretty!!!! Ok, now I'm done. Thanks and take care, my dears! *hopes I can stay sane*

Warning: thanks, fish vids, today, yesterday, acct teach, & sports

Hello guys!! How have you been since I last posted? Well, it's only been a few days, but yeah. *hugs* Thank you so much for all the comments. ^_^ Very sweet of you~~ xanth, welcome back!!! It's been forever!! Like, SO forever! O__o It was great seeing you again~~ *hugs* Same to you, Sesshlu! And welcome back to everyone else as well. <33 I'm glad you didn't mind my long ranting post too much...cause yeah, it was long!! ^^;;; And now I feel bad about some of the things I wrote. You're right about my art teacher--maybe he has some sort of social disability or something? I just wish that he didn't make me (and others) feel so uncomfortable around him. So I'm sorry about the things I said. >.< Though...I stand by my opinion about him acting strangely and me not liking it!! XD Anyhoo, thanks again for everything!! *hugs* I'm going to try to make this quick...or at least a quicker post than usual. So hopefully that means it will also be shorter!! XD I posted on theO yesterday, but only 2 dear souls commented (thank you~), so I'll basically just reiterate what was there...plus include 2 videos that some of you might be interested in!! I'll put them here first. ^^ Instead of a "fish report" exactly, I uploaded two vids on youtube OF my fish...so you can see them finally. [my first time uploading on there] I couldn't take good photographs of them, so instead I took videos of them with my camera~ My new cam is so cool! I mean, I had no clue it could take vids as well...and with sound!! XD I didn't realize it at first, so my vid of Seyonne (my betta) is silent...I didn't talk at all. No poor narration, unlike the one of the discus tank [starring Todd! <3] *laugh* So here they are. ^^ First is Seyonne, and then the second one has my narration introducing the discuses, etc. in the big tank~ ENJOY!!! That way you can also see how plain the tank is. >< It has nothing in it...since we had to take out all the diseased stuff. We're hoping to get some more things for them...and maybe that will help to reduce the aggression of Bossman and Knuble. We're going to do that today...which is why I'm trying to make this post shorter! I should be getting ready to go out avec mes parents [with my parents] right now...but my dad is still napping (he naps all the time), and my mom is doing some cleaning first. So that gives me time to post!!! But then we're going to go to this pet store, get the new tank to be quarantined, and maybe get some new decorations, like I said. You know? I feel like I sound...like some strange fish obsessed person. *laugh* It's all my dad's fault! It's because my brother corey (usually the fish person) now has no interest whatsoever in them, so I'm the one to help dad with it. I really do like it though. I haven't been this close with dad in like forever. So yeah. ^^; Fish and sports have brought us together. *laugh* Ok then!! I shall now talk about things!!! I had yesterday off because, as I've said before, I don't have classes on fridays. ^_^ I was kind of dreading it because my bro doesn't work those days either...so I was worried he'd really torture me. >< Luckily, I stayed home alone while les parents [I don't know why I'm incorporating french] took him out to go car hunting. See, he's been complaining on and on about his car...how it's "uncomfortable" and how it's "injuring him." Uh-huh. Right. He's a crazy hypochondriac so he thinks that things hurt majorly when they probably don't, and he thinks that inanimate objects cause the discomfort. The car is making his wrists, hands, neck, and jaw (????) hurt. Yup. So he wants a new one. It was freeeeeeeezing yesterday (still is today), so there was no way I wanted to come along. So I got to just stay home and have free time~~ Went online, played some games, etc. I'm glad I didn't go! They ended up only getting to look at one car place, and they had to put up with dad's crabbiness and business calls. XD So mom and cor came home complaining about it. Remember how I was ranting about my accounting class last time? How my teach went soooo quickly, and how I didn't like it...or understood anything? Well, me being me...and always wanting to get things known right away or talk to a teacher to straighten things out immediately, I emailed her. I told her my concerns and how I thought she was going too quickly...and to already have a quiz on tuesday after only one day of zooming through the first chapter, really panicked me! I thought maybe she wouldn't reply or maybe she would kind of reply angrily...but no! ^^;; She did say more things that kind of annoyed me, but overall, she was helpful. She wanted to help me to better understand things, and she said that if I was not used to using Excel that I could use Word, among other things. But what made me happy~~~ And should also make my classmates happy...is that she moved the quiz to thursday instead. ^__^ Hehe. I know how to manipulate a teacher. ~__^ Or maybe it's just that they know I'm a responsible and conscientious student that wants to LEARN and not just speed through a course!! XD So yeah. She also put up a review quiz online for us to do. I wonder if she would have if I hadn't emailed her? I wonder if other students emailed her, too, or was it just me??? Regardless, I'm happy about that, and now I've gotten to know her a bit more...so I don't really hate her now. XD Umm...I don't think much else happened!! Didn't do anything yesterday really...and I talked about thursday mostly last time...yup. I haven't spoken sports lately though! XD And it's all positives!! Our other sports teams are doing great! ^^ The Eagles (football) have been in the playoffs~~ Miraculously. SERIOUSLY. It was a MIRACLE. I could go on and on about the circumstances of how they had to win and other teams had to lose for them to get in, but I won't...I'll just say that if they win tomorrow's game, they'll be in the Super Bowl~~ HAHAHA. And they were seriously sucking just a month or so ago. We thought they were done for. XD Our hockey team, the Flyers, are also doing really great! They were in 1st for a while, but now they're in 2nd...but still, I love them. <333 [Lupul and Knuble are players on our team--fish named after them] And then our Sixers (basketball) are doing...ok. They're not doing GOOD; they lost a lot...but now they're on a winning streak, so yay. ^^ So all in all, I'm happy with my city's sports teams. *laugh* And I can't wait for baseball season~ Ok! I'm done now!! <333 Was this shorter?? I hope so. XD It probably is, but the videos make it look longer. I should go now, so I can get ready. *hugs* Thank you soooooooooo much for visiting me. I'll do my best to comment later. Take care, and have a great weekend! [I don't have monday off...]

Warning: thanks, fish, and a lot of school ranting! ^^; Sorry!

Hey peoples! *hugs* Nice to see you all again. ^_^ I'm glad that I got to read lots of comments from my sweet friends! <333 I'm definitely amazed that I got so many. ^^;; You're too good to me! Despite your schoolwork and other work, you managed to get to me. Thank you SOOOO MUCH!! *hugs* You're all so sweet! And even if you don't get to comment a lot, I don't mind. Since I'm obviously not that good at it lately either. Welcome back, kita, and anyone else that has gone missing for a while. Linds!! <33 Oh don't worry; I don't need you to beat up anyone, although I know you would. You should've beaten her up from elementary-high school...that would've been the best. *laugh* And thanks to everyone for everything! I just don't feel like replying in detail today, but arigatou for all the comments~ Oh dear bejeebus (wtf?), I'm so tired. My face is also itchy. Nowadays I get a freaking reaction from being down here in the basement (where the comp and fish tank is). D; Freaking sucks. Stupid allergies. I should go put some lotion on or something. ~__~;; But I'm too lazy to go up two flights of stairs. *sigh* So oh well! Oh goodness, it's SOOO freezing outside. ;__; The coldest day ever so far this winter. I'm out there for maybe 4 minutes, and my ears and everything feel like falling off. >.< It's horrible!!! BUT!! At least I can safely say that I am done with school for the week~~~ Oh boy! I don't know how I'll get used to having a 3-day weekend every single week. But...I guess I can see it balancing out since the 4 days I do have classes are wretched. T__T Mondays aren't bad though; I think those are my best days--I just have fashion and philosophy. But tuesday-thursday...suck. *sigh* This week has felt so long, and it's only been 4 days. Maybe it's just because it was the first week back? I hope so. But gawd, it sucks. I guess before I rant about school, I'll mention the fish! *laugh* Some of you actually like hearing about them, so yeah! They're all doing good! ^_^ None are sick, and I doubt that they'll get sick again. At least I hope! Before getting any new fish, dad's going to get a "quarantine tank", which will just be a smaller other tank, to put the new ones in for a while to make sure they don't have any diseases that will spread to the main one. I think that's a good idea. I mean, we HAVE to get more. XD This huge tank will not suffice with just 10 fish! *laugh* And then my dear Seyonne is doing wonderfully~ He's always swimming around and is hungry. I also swear that he greets me when I come in my room. I THINK HE'S SMART. If you want a fish, get a betta. They're awesome. :3 But remember, only one per tank! Can't have them fighting! Alright! Oh, and one more thing before school-talk. I can't submit my wallpaper yet! It still doesn't work. :/ I don't get it! ;__; And no one is helping fix it! I submitted an e-card, and that worked fine, but for some reason, it isn't working for my wallpapers. Like wtf?? I'm supposedly "known" for my walls!!! What is a waller without wallpaper submissions?? D: Ok, and now I feel like I talked enough about other things that I can now complain about school. >.< OK???? Anyhoo, yesterday I had fashion, philosophy and ART. Sounds like a fantabulous day, right? Especially since I don't mind the first two classes [they went fine! nothing special], and come on, it's art! What is there not to like about art? Unless, of course you don't like art in general. *laugh* But no, I went into that class already somewhat dreading it. One, it starts at 2:25 and is supposed to end at 5:05!! -__-; Yeah, Ok, I already feared its length...and I've never had a class go that late. Staying at school past 4 just scares me. But some time I'm going to have to take night classes anyway. *sigh* But anyhoo, #2, I heard lots of bad things about my instructor last semester. Every one that had him complained of the same things: "He's so hard to talk to. He's really weird and quiet. He barely talks...and he makes things difficult. I feel uncomfortable around him." Well, hearing those warnings definitely made me wary! But I never judge someone before I meet them, so I was thinking that maybe I'll get used to him or he isn't that bad! But oh goodness, he WAS that bad. ;__; That class was torture! Well, where to start? I guess the beginning, ne? I walked in, and most of the people were already there. I sat next to Vincent, who was that somewhat annoying kind in my art class last semester, and next to this older lady that I become well acquainted with during the class. He handed us notecards and the syllabus to give him our info (email etc.)...and he was just so weird and quiet!! After we handed them in, he asked if there were any fashion majors in the class. I was the only one...I raised my hand. And then, uh, silence? I finally said, "Yeah, I am...." and he awkwardly said, "Oh...then why are you in this class?" WTF? WHY? WHY NOT??? So I went on this long explanation and he said almost nothing in response! O__o It was so strange!! Oh, and yeah, whenever he talks, his sentences are crammed with "Uh...umm.." and long pauses. Anyhoo, when everyone got there [thank goodness, Joann is in my class! She's the sweet mom-like lady from last semester] he TRIED explaining to us what we were doing that day. "uh...contour drawings...and you know, drawing from life. You should...examine...life whenever you can. It's...yeah, you know...follow your dreams." WTF? He kept mentioning that we should follow our dreams, and it had nothing to do with anything. Anyhoo, his best way of explaining was to show us, so for about 20 minutes, we were forced to stand behind him and watch him draw these two Windex bottles. Yeah. Wow. A great waste of time. When we finally were able to go and get objects for us to draw...well, I was relieved! But, the unfortunate thing was that that's all we did the WHOLE TIME!! For over 2 hours! ;__; Worked on one freaking still-life. It was torture. I work extremely quickly. >< So I was done around 3...*sigh* I was so bored. And Justin (our instructor) would come around and attempt to compliment works, like mine. "Oh, I uh...like what you did...how you focused more on underneath the table than what's on it, cause you know, you should always see all of the picture...good composition...follow your dreams, yeah." ~___~'' I felt embarrassed each time he'd talk to me! Or more like, it seemed like he was embarrassed whenever he'd talk to anyone. I don't think he's cut out to be a teacher. During most of the class, when I was doing nothing, I chatted with Mary, the older lady next to me. We talked about Project Runway, ANTM, other tv shows, her daughter being in fashion, and other things. *laugh* I tend to get along better with the older group. I like talking more to teachers and "grown-ups" than people my age. XD But despite doing that, I was really dragging. With all that time, I could've finished 4 projects. >> So boring! After class (oh, we got out early at 4:30...) I tried talking to him, telling him that I like to have more things to do during class, and will we always get out earlier than 5 etc...he didn't answer me right. OF COURSE. He took out the syllabus and stuttered, pointing out some dates, and never completing his sentences. Oh, and when he "explained" the final project, he said, "I'll tell you about your final project now, in case you want to work on it throughout the semester...it's, well, whatever you want. You can do anything." Oh wow. Good guidelines. I totally know what I'm doing now. Totally. I hate it. At least it's only once a week. Sorry that story took so freaking long to go through. But yeah...I got home past 5 last night, and I was so tired...if I had homework due today, I'd die. So as for today, it sucked as well. I had accounting and chemistry. Two very different complaints. I dislike my acct teacher greatly. She always sounds like she's so high and mighty, and she went sooooo fast. I was really confused, and I couldn't see any of the notes because of where I sit. And she went so quickly, that I couldn't even get down what the heck she was talking about. The powerpoint slides she printed out for us were tiny, so I couldn't read that either. She basically wants us to just read the book I guess. Since she's so stupid. I emailed her about my "complaints" about it going so quickly, so maybe she'll slow up...I doubt it though. She also gave us homework due tuesday, as well as a QUIZ being on that day! WTF??? Already? And with hw? It's retarded. I already hate that class, and I only had it for 2 days. After that I had chemistry, and that was just boring. Death by boredom. I never thought I'd say this about chem, but it's way too easy so far. Our teach goes so slowly...which most of the students like since they're clueless. -__- BUT...I was tortured! He took the whole class to do 4 equation balancing problems...I did each in about 5 seconds. I'm sure that class will get more challenging (I hope), but accounting...I want that to be easier... Sorry. This is a really long post, ne? Well, I guess I had a lot to rant about!! I hope you don't mind! ^^;; I have some chem homework to do (for lab) that we have to email by saturday, so I should work on that soon. Then I also have chem hw due tuesday, as well as that acct stuff, and then some other things...busy, busy. Back to school, and I wish that weren't the case. I miss break already. WEEKEND HERE I COME. *hugs* Thank you sooooo much for visiting me, my sweeties! I love you guys. D; Take care~

warning: thanks, schedule, fish, sunday, back to school

Hello and good day to you all. ^_^ Provided it IS a good day for you. *laugh* If it isn't, well, I really hope that it gets better!! You all deserve it! Thank you very much for the comments. Sinny, yeah, I remembered you having fish!! I remembered you having a betta. ^^ What colors? Mine's red/blue/purple. And, and you have swordtails? I wanted some of those. :/ But dad mostly wanted Discus. >< Oh well. Thanks though! *hugs* Thank you darke, angelbest (welcome back!), anna-chan, bored-chan, xaos, and Jace!! <3 Thanks very much for commenting my site, complimenting my new theme, etc. :3 I really appreciate all of you! Well, in case you didn't know...I'm back to the grind. Back to school. ~__~ So I'm currently posting at the library here. Yes, yes, back to schedule! But speaking of schedule...I'm not sure when I'll be posting now. ^^;; Well...then again...I might just post like I was during break. Tuesdays, thursdays, and saturday? You think that's ok? Possibly. Although saturday will be contingent on whether I have lots of homework or whatever. Actually, each day except tuesdays will. XD And yes, I do have fridays off! But I can't post then since my brother ALSO has off work. ~__~ So that means a less amount of computer time, blah, blah, blah. >> How stupid. Of all the days for me to have off! *sigh* Maybe he'll change his schedule?? I hope so. He needs to work more. Um, so yeah. Sorry I always end up writing about the most mundane things like this. ^^; You probably don't care WHEN I post. That makes me sound so self-centered or something. :( Sorry~ But yes, I think I'm laying out these plans for myself as much as anyone else! *laugh* First, before talking about my classes, I'll give the fish report! ^^;; Oh, and just so you know, yes, my dad knows VERY well the conditions for the tropical fish he's raising. Warm water etc. So that wasn't the reason why they all got sick. They got some sort of parasite called "velvet," and I'm guessing it was from the log that he put in the tank. D: I kept telling him to take it out, but no!! See, he just found it...as driftwood...out in a dirty stream. He didn't clean it. It was probably filled with the parasites, and I'm sure that's what killed them. *sigh* Last time, I mentioned that Danny was on his last breaths...yes, he died as well. :( Sooo, now we only have 4 discuses left [Lupul, Knuble, Bossman, and George], and then 2 tetras [started out with 12!], the two catfish, Ram, and Todd the angelfish. Oh, and my betta Seyonne (he's in his own tank anyway). Knuble is always bossing Lupul and George around, biting and chasing them into corners, but Bossman is aptly named. XD *laugh* He's the only one that can then chase Knuble around. It's just a shame he's so agressive (discus are supposed to be docile...) since we might have to put in him a separate tank. D: Anyhoo, yes, now they're all healthy at least. ^_^; Just...a lot less... Lots of you read my post on theO, but if you didn't, here's the run down of events. :3 Sunday was my oldest brother's 30th birthday [this is Derek, not Corey, who still lives at home and annoys me]. We didn't do anything special...just had dinner at home and he came over. He didn't get very many gifts, but he didn't complain. I mean, come on. He's 30! XD Um, also on sunday, I finished my new wallpaper! But...unfortunately, I can't submit it on theO!! It's not letting me. I don't get it at all. :/ I keep trying to contact adam about the error, but no replies yet. *sigh* And it still isn't fixed! So I dont know why I can't submit it. :( I just get a white blank screen instead of a confirmation...I don't get it! Ugh!! So if you want to see it (until I get it to work here), you can view it at AP or dA (yes, that's my first time submitting one of my walls on my devArt). ^_^ Olivia (sweetdevil) Helped me out greatly with the vector, so I thank her again!! <333 *hugs her* Alrighty, now onto the school front. I went back yesterday. For a first day, it really wasn't bad!! XD I had fashion first, which was fine since it wasn't any different from first semester. A few different girls in class (one of which was a lackey of my dreaded and horrible bully that tortured me throughout elementary school--high school; of course, I didn't talk to her), but everyone else was the same as before. ^^ And Sister Denise is just as spry (sp??) as ever! *laugh* Threatening to beat us and whatnot. XD This class is where we'll be making our own patterns...and writing the descriptions! ;__; Sounds so hard! She just gave us the syllabus and started doing some of the first stuff...but not much. Then I had lunch (in a short amount of time!), and after that I had philosophy. D; I didn't know anyone in class, so I just sat in the seat closest to the door in the front. >< That's what I do when I don't know anyone. *laugh* Closest to the entrance and exit so I don't have to confront anyone! Now then, as for my teacher, he's nice. He's pretty amusing. :3 It sounds like it'll be a more interesting class than I first thought...although the first class yesterday was a borefest. XD I was going out of my mind!! Today I had accounting first. It's a much bigger class than I'm used to (though still really small compared to other college's classes!), so I walked in...looked lost...saw lots of seniors. ^^;; Then I finally found Erica and the bunch. Sat next to her...she didn't talk much to me though. :/ I don't know. Maybe we're not really friends?? ^^;; I'm not sure. Lol, but oh well! At least I sat next to people i knew (other girls from my fashion class included). We had to do one of those getting to know you exercises. DX Where you introduce the person next to you and say something about them. ^^;; Well, Erica didn't really tell me what to say about her...*laugh* So when it got to us, I say, "This is Erica. She's a sophomore and a fashion major...and she's...uhh...she's *looks at her* [u]AWESOME[/u]!" Oh dear. EPIC FAIL right there. Or maybe, epic win for laughter?? The whole class cracked up. XD Erica was like WTF?? and looked embarrassed. Oops, sorry, erica!! ^^;; She loudly said, "I DID NOT TELL HER TO SAY THAT." *laugh* Oh dear. But now the class will know her as the girl that is simply awesome. I couldn't think of anything else to say!! >< How stupid of me, right?? And then our teacher asked us things about the people in class, to see if we were paying attention. "Ok, you're all awesome, but who in this class was described as such?" *laughter ensues* ERICA. Oh dear. ^_^;; I sure made a mess of things. I wouldn't be surprised if awesome girl wouldn't want to sit next to me next time... Umm...yes...wow...then I went to the bookstore to buy books. ~__~ First day ever I used my credit card!! XD It was exciting! And boy was it exciting to see the receipt! :D $414! D: Oh dear lord! Yes. My freaking accounting book was almost $200. >< It's ridiculous! Well, good thing it's just my parents' money! ^^;;;;; Yeah...anyhoo, then I had chemistry. My teach was supposed to be this Chinese lady, Zhang, but she wasn't there. We're having a sub for a while...dr.Weber...and he's soooo boring. I was dying. He started the chapter already and went so slowly! It was too easy. ;__; I wanted to die...lol...but oh well. He's not sure if he'll be permanent or if we'll get our scheduled teacher next time. After class, I came here! So now I'm posting, and then I'll eat and go to chem lab. Tomorrow I'll have fashion and philosophy again, and then art...which will last a long time...until 5. I dont' know WHEN I'll eat lunch. >< So I hope my class will let me eat in it. ^^;;; Anyhoo, I have no homework yet, so I'll try to visit people today. ^_^ Sorry this is a long post~~~ As usual...so yeah. SORRY!!!! ;___; THANK YOUUUUUU. Take care, everyone!

warning: thanks, last weekend, fish..., & yesterday

Hi, my dears!! *hugs* Thanks so veryvery much for all the comments!! Much appreciated. ^_^ You're all so sweet. <3 I'm glad I have you guys to keep me sane...or something like it. Chibi, you silly goose! You don't make me feel down!! You make me cheer up a lot! *laugh* Ignore the whole Yamapi thing. XD Plus, you gave him and Keii-chan to me~~ I was talking about friends that are feeling depressed, and then I feel down, too, when they are! XD So don't worry. *hugs* And welcome back to you, Harvey, and anyone else that hasn't been here in a while. ^_^ Though I don't think any of you have disappeared for a long time~~ Anyhoo, thanks for the sweet comments on my new theme, the sadness of my fishies [more to come], and on the fairy statue box thing I made! Well, painted. <3 Arigatou again! Yes, yes, so I like my new theme. ^^ Took a while to get the colors right, but it's good now! Ahem! So yes. Today is my last saturday of break. D; Noooo...last weekend of break...noooo. ;___; And then it's back to school for me!! >< I know lots of you already returned and have been back for even a couple of weeks! Many congrats to you because you've survived them. Soon it'll be my turn to be panicking! *sigh* Although...it shouldn't be TOO bad. Monday I just have 2 classes, and the first is my fashion class that should have most of the same girls as my last one...so I shouldn't be freaked out with an abundance of new classmates. >.< And then I have philosophy...who knows how that'll go though. Ugh. Then the next days...ah, whatever, but the main point is that I'll have fridays off~~~ So I'll have a 3-day weekend EVERY weekend! *laugh* That's so exciting!! ^__^ Even though that is causing me to be short on my credits still. *sigh* Oh well. I prefer laziness anyway. Whatever happens, happens! Ok, as my past posts have been going...it's time to give the fish report. *sigh* .___. More casualties. Hammy and Blaise...dead. T______T Hammy was SO healthy just a week ago! he was my favorite discus and the most beautiful! It's not fair!!! He was FINE!! And same with Blaise...*sigh* Hammy passed away yesterday, and this morning Blaise did...I saw him...looking ok in the morning, and then after I ate breakfast, dad said he died. And now Danny is on his last breaths; he might not make it since he isn't eating. ~__~ But the others...those that are left are doing kind of ok. So now these are the discus that are alive: Lupul, Knuble, Bossman, George, and Danny (barely). ;__; We started out with 9...and then the illness came...and then the medicine was so strong that it killed off the really weak ones instead of helping. As for the tetras, we only have 2 now (we had 12 or something), but Todd is still going strong, same with Ram and the 2 catfish. So there you have it. Fish amount in tank a week ago: 25. After illness and treatment: 10 [possibly 9 if Danny doesn't make it]. It's very sad. Now the tank is so empty...my dad wanted to do this for fun, but now it's become such hard work. Umm...ok then. *thinks* If you didn't see my last post and you were curious about the fairy box thing I painted with my friends, it's in there. I have a couple pics of it, so feel free to look!! In other artistic news, I've been working on my new wallpaper. I enjoy painting the sky and clouds...and Oli-chan has been a great help with the vector. She's sending to to me now. I might change some things to suit my (picky) tastes, but overall, it's beautiful! She's so amazing and sweet!! <33 *hugs her* I'm looking to finish the wallpaper before I go back to school...so stay on the lookout (hopefully). Yesterday we went to the chiropractor. Finally. I haven't been there in such a long time, and I was really in need of an adjustment! My neck and back. D: So yeah...I had to get up a bit earlier than I wanted. *laugh* Which was before 11:30! It's so crazy that now I can't even get up before that now without feeling so tired. I'm going to bed way too late, and I'm having my insomnia troubles again, so taking sleeping pills makes me groggy in the morning. I don't know how I'll wake up for school!! ^^; Crap. I'll just have to try. Anyhoo, so we went to the chiro...and his wife has been trying her hand at painting. She makes him have all her paintings up in his office. *laugh* And they're SO amateurish! What really cracks me up is that he's trying to sell them for her, so he has price tags on them, while they're on the walls. ^_^;; Ummm...$725 for a painting of some boats? $450 for a painting of row houses on a "waterfall" that looked like spiky white thorns sticking up?? DX No one is going to buy them. ^^; BUT...I was nice and complimented them. And he was all shocked and said, "Really??? I'll have to tell her that you like them!! She'll be overjoyed. She tries to take them to art shows, and most people don't like them..." *laugh* Poor thing. *leaves for about an hour to work on wallpaper* [Oh snap!! >< I just realized tomorrow's my brother D's birthday. CRAP. CRAAAAP. He's turning 30!! That sounds so old. ;__; And I didn't get him a gift...crap...I forgot...NOOoo.] Ok...so what else happened yesterday??? After going to the chiropractor, we went to Sports Authority to get Corey some new shoes. He's been complaining about them forever now. "Ow, they hurt my feet. I can't stand in them. They constrict my feet, and now everything hurts." Basically, he complains about anything and everything that could be a TINY bit wrong. ~__~ So we went there for him...and he spent SO LONG trying on shoes! Gawd! It was so annoying! But what's worse is that mom (and even me) were getting allergic reactions in there. What with all the rubber stuff and other things in there...so mom's face was burning, and her eyes were closing. So I just told her to stand outside and wait while Corey finished. -__-; Poor mommy. Finally I picked out some brown shoes for him. HERE, TRY THESE. And he "liked" them. He'll still probably complain about them though. Uh...then I called mom in to buy them. D; After that, we got lunch and went home....and we went out to eat that night as well!! I haven't gone out for dinner in a long time. We went to this pizza Italian place. Eh, it was ok. I'm not really one for Italian...what with all the tomatoes. *laugh* I don't really like them. XD And so we took FOREVER to order! The waiter kept coming back and asking us if we decided. *laugh* But NO. We finally decided to share a large pizza, and then mom and I shared chicken parma, and Corey got some steak and chicken thing. Dad just shared everything. I didn't like the pizza...it was basically ALL TOMATOES. Bleh. Barely any cheese. As for the chicken, it was good...but I personally liked the rolls and olive oil dip the best. XD Then after that we drove a long way to the pet store for dad to get a new fish filter...yup...at night, Corey and I finished watching Toradora! It's a really good anime. ^_^ You should watch it if you haven't!!!! Ok, I really need to finish this post now. I took forever working on the wall instead of typing this. It's late, and I need some FOOD!!!!! So sorry if it was long or boring~~~ I'll try to visit some people, but I don't know if I'll get to much. *hugs* Thanks so much for putting up with me though. <333 Take care~ Have a good weekend!

Warning: thanks, friends/new theme, ill fish, yesterday fun, fairy, & sorry

Hello! *hugs* Arigatou for all the comments~~ You guys are the best! Welcome back, welcome back to all! So nice to hear from you again. ^^ Like Rachel, Jace, Lute, Filo, and Anis-chan (anime snow girl)!!! :3 I'm so glad to see you guys again. *hugs* It's been a long time. XD For some of you, even months! So yay! Thanks to everyone for the comments about...well, whatever I talked about. It seems like a lot of nonsense now. Mexican food, being cold, sick fishies. Yes, you had to be there to believe it...or rather, read my post to understand. And thanks so much for the cheering up, too! I really needed it. ;__; Arigatou again everyone! Well, I think I'm doing better today! That is, mentally. Although the past couple of days I was really quite down!! >.< But I've been texting Meg (innocent heart), and she's such a sweetie. She's so nice and encouraging! And whenever I get to chat with Oli-chan is awesome as well. ^_^ All of my friends I've made here mean SO MUCH to me. <3 Although sometimes it's you guys that get me down!! I don't mean that in a bad way...as in you guys making me mad, but when some of you are feeling depressed or having hard times, I seriously take that to heart as well!! ^_^;; I care too much! XD I'm sure you would deny that though; it's always good to have someone caring about you, and that's why I try to be a good friend. I know I fail at that a lot though...but thanks to those that stick with me. Wow, that was quite the tender paragraph, ne? XD Well, anyhoo!! I'm changing my theme around as I post...(in a different window, obviously)...so when you read this post, my theme will be different! Whether I'll like it or now, I don't know. *laugh* But oh well. I felt like changing it since I had my other one up for a while. I hope you like it~ Ok, first I'm going to give you the fish report. Yes, the fish report. Reporting on the status of our poor, sick fish. The tank has now become an infirmary for the ill and wounded...and dead. The casualty count has risen to 4 now. T___T The first to go was Joe, and then Lady Ram, and now...yesterday. *sigh* Dobby and Darvish died. Dobby, as I've mentioned a lot, was sick since we got him. He was probably the one that started this whole mess!!! ;__; So he's been sick and just terrible for over a week...whenever we got him with the others, and now yesterday, he finally died. Poor thing. I was really rooting for him to get better. :( Cause Hammy's his brother, and they would've looked so cool together! With their colors. But anyhoo...very sad. It's very sad. And Darvish's story is even sadder. He was the other angelfish that we got somewhat recently--to be Todd's angel fish friend--he was like zebra patterned...black and white stripes. He was the best one. ;__; he was perfectly healthy!! So how did he die??? He got freaking trapped between the glass and the plastic bag that dad had floating in there, keeping the little healthy fishes from the medicine in the water. *sigh* So that was a total accident. He didn't deserve to die!! >< More like, he shouldn't have...he was healthy and fine...just bad luck! Ugh!! These poor fish! It's really stressing my dad out a lot, too. It was supposed to be lots of fun, but now it's a lot of work...I want that medicine to work. If it doesn't, who knows what'll happen...cause they're all plain miserable. You know, I love animals. ^^; Of all kinds! And it really pains me to see them suffering...no matter what kind, really. Unless they're gross bugs or really dangerous snakes. O__o Or bees and wasps especially! *laugh* But really, I love any other kinds of animals. It makes me think that I should've been doing something in the field of...well, something that works with animals instead of fashion/art. ~__~ Cause seeing animals makes me happiest, especially dogs. I've said this before, but whenever I see a dog, I immediately light up! *laugh* A smile just comes right across my face right away. ^_^ I just love them so much. XD But...for now...I'm majoring in fashion marketing and minoring in graphic design! What I'll really do with those things, well, I have no clue. I hate thinking about the future. It scares me. Now then. Oh! The other day I watched Kung Fu Panda with my dad. XD he loves cartoons and those CG movies with talking animals. lol. I really don't, but I humored him and watched it with him. It really isn't that bad! I kind of liked it, although it was too short. -__-; Way too short! But I really loved the one quote by that old turtle master...that goes something like this, "Yesterday is history; tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift--that's why it's called the 'present.'" It went something like that. :3 And I just went "awwwwwwwwwwwwww, that's amazing" after he said it. XD Good stuff. Really good stuff there. Very true, too. ^_^ So remember that and live your life with today as the present God gave you!!! >_< Alright now! I shall talk about yesterday. I went out with my dear friend Lindsay (narret), whom I haven't seen in 2 years!!! *hugs her* It was great!!!! ;__; Like...it's been too long of forever since we last saw each other!! She came to pick me up around 1:40, and we hugged, which doesn't happen much! I don't like hugging people IRL really. *laugh* And she doesn't either. XD But we did, and we hugged a lot after that, too. *laugh* Sorry, Linds, I'm giving out the nitty gritty of our "date." So I got in her car, and she got me a wonderful Christmas gift!! :D A Gunslinger Girls wallscroll! ^__^ It's so awesome!! <33 She didn't even know it was one of my favorite series. XDD So yeah! Then we left and just drove around. Her way of driving is amazing; somehow, no matter what ways we take, she knows how to get to places...even if it's very roundabout. lol. So we drove around, and then made it to this restaurant (which I honestly don't like that much...), but why not? ^^ I've never really gone to a real restaurant for lunch before...only...fast food places. We went in~ And it was nice and warm. The last time I went there, it was freezing and during the summer. XD Um, we sat down, ordered food, and really talked a long time! We talked about school, how things were going with our classes, our majors, what we want to do, the people we've met, etc. It was just a good old fashioned catching up time!! ^_^ Much needed, too! After a while, this guy was seated near us, and he overheard us talking when we were mentioning sports. He then kept asking us questions like, "Oh, do you work for the Sixers?? [our city's basketball team] Are you season ticket holders??" O__o We kept saying NO. We were just talking about the team, and then he assumes we work for them! *laugh* And then a waiter walked by, saying he was a season ticket holder, and the guy said something...and then turned back to us, again, asking us the SAME question!! D: It was freaky. Then I was forced to talk some sports with him--about how the Sixers are doing pretty poorly, etc....and then finally, when his food [a huge bowl of hot wings] arrived, he shut up. *sigh of relief* THANK GOODNESS!! After we ate, we went to the mall which was right nearby. We talked more, walked around, got lost, ended up in the super rich part of the mall [we knew there was something up when we started to hear classical music over the speakers, and designer stores such as Hugo Boss, Ralph Lauren, Neiman Marcus, and jewelry stores started to crop up], and then came back to where we started! It was a lot of good exercise. *laugh* We went into FYE, who's going out of business, and all the shelves were empty!! Um, we also went into comic stores, Hot Topic, Sanrio store, and then Borders, where I got some manga. ^^ Newest volume of Totally Captivated and vol.4 of Tactics. <3 Then she took me home!! All in all, it was a very nice trip! It was wonderful to see her again. ^_^ I was socially exhausted after it, however! BUT! No!! It couldn't stop there. Karen called me. D: Nooooo. But I knew why. She picked up my fairy boxy thing that I painted last week at Color Me Mine with her. Remember? So she said she was going to drop it off for me. I ended up talking to her for a while, and then being handed off to her mom to give her directions to my house. ~__~ That took A LONG TIME. I don't know directions! As in, I'm clueless about street names. ^^;; So I had to have mom feed me lines while trying to get Karen's mom to understand. XD Gawd!! Then 20 minutes later, they finally arrived, and I got my fairy!! I took pics, so here you can look at it now!! ^__^ I think it turned out well, although her eyes needed some work [couldn't find a brush small enough!], and the green paint isn't what I thought. -__-' But oh well. Take a look~ And remember, I didn't sculpt it, just paint it. Ah, I felt relieved after they left! Then I could put on my pajamas and just relax!! Well, relax as best as I could with my brother around. >.< But yeah...that's basically it for the day! Didn't do anything special. I haven't worked any more on my wallpaper, but dear Olivia is really doing well on the vector for me!! ^__^ And Meg encouraged me a lot. *laugh* So I should stop worrying so much about my wallpapers. ^^; I take them WAY too seriously...anyhoo, I think that's all I have to say for today. *hugs* Thanks soooo much for visiting me. I'm sorry that I haven't been commenting a lot lately. I go back to school on monday (noooooooo!!), so I'm kind of recharging mentally for that. ^^; I'm sorry again. Take care~
