warning: wallpapers, moping, fish, and socialization

Hi-hi! *hugs* How are all of you?? Doing good, I hope! I'm doing...ok! Not all that great, but ok. XD Good enough for now, I suppose. Thanks a ton for the comments. *hugs* Again, I got so many, and I'm very happy to hear from all of you!! Welcome back Lys, Elves, Saku-chan, sesshlu, jamo, Aya, and anyone else that has been missing for a while. ^_^ I appreciate all of the sweet comments on the picture I took of me!! ^^;; I really didn't look that great, but thank you all! You're just TOO SWEET for my own good. And yes, most of you caught on how strange it was for my friend's house to be SO dirty when they're such health freaks! It's so odd. Her house was soooo gross. T^T Makes me sick thinking about all the dust and everything! And yes, all the super "healthy" plain food, too..ewww! Anyhoo, thanks again for that! Sparkle, Keii-chan is doing wonderfully with me, and so is Yamapi. ;D I'm so happy chibi finally let me have more. XD Haha. Thanks again!! It's cold. COLD. I'M COLD. It's freezing outside, and my house is cold inside, too! ;__; AND STINKY!!!! DX My dad just came back, and he had some Mexican food for his lunch, and he's stinking up the place! Ugh! Take a SHOWER!! Ewwww!! Smells like onions and BO. .___. Gross. Ummm...so I've been chatting with Oli-chan...trying to work on a wallpaper, and basically just moping around, in low self-esteem. The wallpaper isn't going so well because my vectoring skills are lacking at the moment, but Oli-chan is being a sweetie and going to help do the outlines for me. *hugs her* I worked a bit on the bg (painting), and I did her eyes and some of her face's outlines...but they're just not going well! I'm not feeling into it. ~__~ So I'm not sure what I'm going to do really...but like I said, Oli-chan is going to help me! I've been wanting to wall this screenshot from Overdrive (from the first ending credits), and I've been thinking about it for a while...and now when I start doing it, I feel miserable about it!! >.< *sigh* Walling...I don't know; maybe I'm not meant for it??? I'm still so envious of other people on websites like AP and whatnot...that are just SO GOOD. I can't compare. DX Bah. So yeah, I'll work on this when I feel more like it...this is the screenshot I'm vectoring/painting: Now it's dark. My dad turned off the light. It's around 4pm currently, dark outside with some ice, and I haven't had lunch yet. I will after I post though...I finish breakfast closer to 1:00, so yeah. ^^; Everything is gradually getting later. *laugh* I imagine that if my winter break lasted a whole other month that I would be going to bed at 3, sleeping until 1, eating lunch at 5, and then pleading with my family to make dinner at 8 or 9 instead. XD Since I currently read until going to bed at around 1am...and now I'm waking up closer to noon. I used to go to bed at midnight, and wake up before 11! Now I can't do that at all. Unfortunately, this is my LAST WEEK of winter break...*sigh* I go back monday. ~__~ So I'll have to get to bed earlier...since I'll have to wake up much earlier! Darn it! I know lots of you are already back to school, and I commend you for it. I hope that things go well for you guys!! ^_^ You can do it!!! My college classes start next week, which include the following: flat pattern making (fashion; we make our own clothing patterns...), philosophy, chemistry II and lab, basic design (art), and accounting/budgeting (noooo!!!). I have fridays off at least...that's the best thing. First time ever having a whole day off every week!! XD Ok, so what have I been doing this weekend??? Weekend and then monday...well, nothing of course! Why would I do anything? Lots of time has been spent worrying about our fish, hoping that they'll get better soon. Now all of them are miserable and sick. Well, except for Todd. He's a mad machine. I think I named him wrong. XD He's a glutton that's always eating and zooming about. *laugh* Not like his namesake! He used to be shy. O__o Hahah. But the discus fishies (Danny, Blaise, Dobby, Hammy, Lupul, Knuble, Bossman, and George) aren't doing that great. Dobby and Danny being the worst. Our other angelfish, Darvish, is doing ok...and the Ram is fine. Dad put the tetras [all being named Oh-chan, thanks sparkle] and little catfish [Reggie and Little Lou] in a bag, floating at the top of the tank, because the medicine is too strong for them. So yes...my dad has been a fish doctor lately...he didn't think this tank would be so much work! Oh, and as you saw, I gave you all the fishes' names. *laugh* Now you know them. XD And then there's Seyonne, my betta fish, and Blue Dragon, my mom's. And yes, I can tell the difference between each discus. They all have different colors and styles and behaviors. :3 The end. Yesterday, mom, Corey, and I went out to do errands...went to K-mart, got lunch...boring stuff like that. Corey made a big fuss out of things like usual. He's always complaining about his aches and pains, and when mom's suffering, he doesn't care. He said, "Oh, just suck it up. Look at me. I'm always hurting, but I'm keeping quiet. You gotta be strong." HAH HAHAHA. HAH. And another HAH, for good measure. He is such a hypocrite. He's always complaining about everything! He never cares about anyone else when we're in pain or just not feeling good...only himself. Him and his hypochondriac-ness. I swear. He pisses me off so much. And my poor mommy can't yell at him cause it just makes things worse. I can't wait for him to grow up. For heaven's sake, he's turning 28 in a couple of weeks. WTF. He should at least have some sort of sense of empathy/sympathy/kindness!! Whenever I try to say anything to him though, he just yells at me to stay out of it. Because I'm "always getting in the way." Yeah, ok, whatever. He's the one that always is making me do things with him. He can't ever do stuff on his own. He really should take depression meds or something...he's been like this for years and years. But again, my mom and dad get all rawrrr when it comes to mental medications. Nothing else really happened yesterday. It still smells like Mexican in here. Thank you, dad. ~__~ I've made plans with my friend Lindsay (Narret on theO, but she doesn't come on much) to do things with her tomorrow!! I haven't seen her since we GRADUATED. So that's about 2 years!! ;___; I missed her so much. So she's going to come pick me up tomorrow (weather pending; it's supposed to be snowing and icing...), and then she's just going to take me wherever. I don't know where, but I'm looking forward to it. ^^ I'm sure I'll go crazy with anxiety beforehand, like usual though, but whatever. I just hope we have a good time...and if the weather is too bad, then maybe thursday. Yes, so don't look for many comments from me tomorrow. ^_^; Or even today. I'm just not feeling up to it honestly. :( Sorry~ I can't think of anything else to talk about!! Sorry! But this is long enough. I should probably change my theme sometime soon. Maybe I will...sometime...yes...I should. Um, thanks so much for visiting me! *hugs* You guys are the best. Take care~~

Warning: thanks, camera/me, yesterday, anxiety, goodies

Hello, guys!! *hugs* Thank you soooooo much for all the comments!! ^__^ I'm ever-so grateful! Happy new years again! Like omg though! Only fox commented twice. O__o So I really got 16 people to visit?? Wow! I'm stunned! That's like the most ever. *HUGS* Who says that myO is dead?? HUH?? I THINK NOT!! So arigatou! ^__^ So many wonderful friends. And so many welcome backs as well!! OLIVIA!!! <3333 And omg, Capri-chan!!! *hugs* Kita, and everyone else, too! Thank you so very much for everything. I enjoyed reading all of your wonderfully long comments, and even if you didn't get to write a lot, I'm still thankful. :3 I appreciate all of the RIP's for Joe...the poor vertical fish. Indeed, it's sad he died. :( I hardly got to know him...other than his awesome verticalness. *laugh* And thanks for the encouragement with my resolutions!! I wish you all the best as well! :D Arigatou again~ Teehee~~~ Guess what? I got that gift that my dad was saving. ^_^ And indeed! It's a camera!! Now I have one of my own. <333 And it's soooo cool~~ It's an Olympus FE-20 (click there to see a pic of it). It's soooooooo little!!! So light! I love it!!! ^__^ It's all black and shiny and compact. <33 And I've been taking pics with it the whole time now that I've gotten it~~~ THANK YOU DAD. Here's a bad pic of me I just took! Beware! It's a major close-up!! You can see my straight teeth, my crooked eyes, any pimples I might have, and whatever hair on my face is there as well! *laugh* I'm quite the mess. XD But hey, I'm lazing around the house!! I don't have to be all dressed up. *nods* [quick, hide your eyes!! ><] And I've taken some pics of Totoro and outside~ It's such a cute camera!!! >__< And I'm currently chatting with Oli-chan (sweetdevil) who has finally returned from her trip~ My, how I've missed her!! *hugs her* So how are all of you doing today?? Happy new year again!!! You know, the Japanese are major celebrators of the new year! It's very important. So they keep saying "happy new year" to people all throughout January, not just the first. :3 Anyhoo...I hope you're all doing good. It's quite cold out there...and I'm rather tired. XD I didn't sleep tell well last night, even though I thought I would since I was so exhausted (mentally and physically) from being over Christine's house! Yes, so I went over my friend's house yesterday. ^^;; We've known each other since elementary school, and she hasn't changed...and her house is still as dingy and gross and dirty as ever. *sigh* It's like torture being over there!!! Their yard is like a junk yard (with old, broken cars in it), and their whole house is covered in dust. ;__; Everywhere you look...huge amounts of dust...totally covering everything. They just got Rock Band for Christmas, and the drums were already soaked in dust...baaahhh....it was torture to my sinuses. My allergies were horrible yesterday, and her house didn't help. XD I think I mostly go over her house and do things with her just to be nice. ^^;; To do a good deed, if you will...although it's not like I don't have fun there, it's just...tough...her mom is still as creepy as ever. *shudders* But I just wish, out of all things, that they cleaned their house....and!!! AND!! I wish they had actual FOOD. D; So anyhoo, it was snowing a bit yesterday when she came to pick me up. I was slightly afraid to be in her car during that, since it's rather broken down anyway. XD But we made it to her house safely!! Once there, I was forced to greet her crazy mom, who looked a mess (as always), and then we proceeded to tour the house again. I looked at all of her dad's fish (SO MANY TANKS), and then her horrible room...you can't walk anywhere in it!! >< And then we went to play some games. :D First we tried Rock Band, which was actually quite fun! *laugh* I'd never played it before...so yeah. First I tried the drums, which was horribly hard for me. XD I failed. FAILED. Hahaha, so then I tried the guitar, which again, I did pretty bad!!!!! The only thing I was good at was singing. XD So I played it safe with the singing for a while. *laugh* Then we got her dad and mom to play with us. Her dad on the drums, mom on bass, me on guitar, and Christine sung....but then we switched and I sung [EYE OF THE TIGER <333], and she played guitar. :3 So it was a lot of fun! And then we had a "snack." *sigh* Her house has no food whatsoever...all that they have is super health food with no sugars, fats, or anything...ugh...so I was starving. I didn't have lunch, and I basically didn't eat at all yesterday. ;__; So I sang and sang and played and had nothing in me!! So after more singing, I had her take me home. When I got home, I just wanted to collapse from starvation and exhaustion...too much socialness. DX That taught me to see friends twice in one week! It's too hard on me. I get such social anxiety before. ^^; So like yesterday, in the morning, before she came to get me, I was SO NERVOUS. I feel sick to my stomach, etc. As I've said before, I always panic whenever I'm doing something social...no matter who it's with! Even a friend I've known for years and years!!! D: Stupid anxiety. But I don't take meds for it...I doubt my mom would want that. She's anti meds for mental things...she thinks they won't help...she thinks that you'll get better on your own. *sigh* Oh well. I'll just have to keep putting up with my anxiety!!! >< Umm...as for our fishies, well...they're ok. No one else has died yet, aside from Joe. [who didn't get a proper burial!!! I yelled at my dad about that. He just put him in the trash can!!!!] :( Dobby is still alive, although he's still got the parasites and isn't looking that great. But now...other fish have parasites, too, and they're not eating. ~__~ And they're just hiding behind rocks!!! So my dad got some medicine and put that in the thank today. I hope it helps. Yes, the other day...um, thursday? We went out to buy more fish. :3 Two more discus, a ram, and another angel fish to be friends with Todd. ^_^ *laugh* And yes, I name all the fish. XD We have 8 discus, and they all have names...same with the 2 rams, 2 angelfish, and 2 little catfish. But no, I haven't named the tetras (there's too many). *laugh* I love naming things~~ Animals, stuffed animals, anything!!! If I Have it, chances are it has a name. XD It makes them more personal that way. ^_^ Parts of the family!!! And my dear Seyonne is all better, too. :3 He's soo energetic and hungry all the time now. *laugh* So cute. :3 But yes, all of the fish in our big tank need to get well! I hope the medicine and water change works for them. *enjoys new camera* ^_^ Hmm...yes...other than those things, I haven't done much other than watch new anime and play new video games! Like I said before, I'm enjoying Toradora, and now I really like Natsume Yuujinchou. So I recommend them!! :D Sparkle, indeed, you must watch more anime!! Same to anyone that hasn't been. XD Well *thinks* I don't know if I have anything else to mention really. I've been trying to comment everyday, and goodness, it's a lot of work!! I've been commenting more than posting these days, and I think I'm becoming more obsessed with it...which isn't good...so I should probably take a break sometime!! So I'm sorry if I don't visit a lot this weekend!! Though, knowing me, I'll probably still try. XD Thank you so much!! Oh, I haven't done any art recently (other than those cards). I'm too lazy and uncreative to work on another wallpaper yet. But here are some things that OTHERS MADE ME. <33333 Like Anya's drawing of me, Meg's card of Mihashi for me (kyaa~~~), and an Oofuri wall that Valcryst (a friend from AP) made me. ^_^ So check them out if you haven't seen them, for they are wonderful gifts!!!! :D Thanks so much for everything!! I hope you didn't mind this shorter post. ^_^ At least, I THINK it's shorter. XD I never know!! Haha, but I think it was. It might be boring, too, but oh well. Arigatou for being so wonderful~ Take care! And good luck to those that go back to school soon!

Warning: hey, it's 2009!

Hello and THANK YOU SO MUCH!! *hugs* Thanks sooooo much for the comments everyone! I got a TON. Although most were chibi-chan and sparkle-chan. XD But thank you all!! *hugs* I was amazed at how long your comments were. ^^ I was pleasantly surprised~~ I actually didn't get to read them all yet. I wanted to post this before getting my breakfast (which ends up being past noon anyway), so I shall read all of your comments fully later. :3 But welcome back to many of you!! Linds (of course), Twist, kittenlark, Lory, darke, anna-chan...and everyone else, arigatou! Haha, I'm glad you enjoyed that last post. XD I did find it amusing!!! 30 East!! 30 east!! lolz. We had a fun time. :D So if you didn't get to read it...it involves my fun time out with my friends, so I suggest looking it over if you have the time! Thanks again! *hugs* HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I already said that in my world, but now, of course, I need to make it official here. ^_^ Welcome 2009~~ Hopefully it'll be a much better year for a lot of people and places! To me, the new year doesn't really feel like anything different. ^^;; It's just another day...and time to unfold all my new calendars!! I suppose new years means a lot to...well, lots of people. Many make resolutions and whatnot and try to religiously stick to them! I don't tend to make resolutions since I already have my own sense of what I want to accomplish no matter what, and I make goals day to day depending upon what needs changing in my life. *nods* But if you insist on asking what resolutions I might think up, they would be: 1. REPLY TO EMAILS MORE QUICKLY [I'm horribly lazy when it comes to replying to things...and my distance has caused some riffs in friendships due to my laziness] 2. TRY TO BE MORE SOCIAL [I'm going to try and do more things with friends...I'm already doing so by hanging out with them earlier this week, and tomorrow I'm also doing something!] 3. IMPROVE MY WALLPAPER SKILLS [something somewhat trivial, but I'd like to master more walling skills, like painting, and being more creative] and 4. LEARN HOW TO DRIVE [seeing as I'm 20 and will be 21 this year, I think that I need to learn that some time...*is afraid*] What were your dreams that you had of the first night of the new year? You know the Japanese pay good attention to that! I always think of the Azumanga Daioh new years episode. XD Did you dream of Mt.Fuji, a hawk, and an eggplant? I have a feeling not. *laugh* I mean, those things seem so random!! Who could?? But if you do, you'll have a great year full of luck!! XD I had strange dreams, but I remember them involving me playing baseball, escaping from some place, and I also remember L being a major part in one dream. It was odd. But no Fuji-san, hawk, or eggplant...hmm...oh well. No, I didn't make any new years cards. ^^;; I made two others though!! Completely DIFFERENT. *laugh* I guess I just didn't want to make a new years one like everyone else. XD Especially since, like I said...I don't find it to be such an interesting "holiday." *is shot for saying that* But here are the cards. I know most of you already commented/hugged etc. so THANK YOU ALL!! *hugs* I love you guys. ^_^ I'm glad you like them~~ And it's funny that they're both featured!! Crazy, seeing as they aren't new years ones. XDD I'm in love with my Monster one~ Anya hasn't seen it yet, but I'm hoping she'll love it, too. I worked on that one like a wallpaper!! And Meg's, I had fun with that as well. ^__^ All cheery and colorful~ Hmm...I know what's happened this 2008! I've become more known on theO for my e-cards instead of wallpapers. ^^; Since I made more of those than walls this past year. In years past, I was a walling machine!! I'd make one almost everyday! Now, that's impossible for me. Why? Because I've come a long way from the wallpapers I used to make...I can no longer make one in a day, or even in a couple hours!! XD Since I'm trying to be more "advanced," the things I make sometimes take a week or more to do...like the vectoring or painting. Also, I'm more lazy and strapped for creative ideas, so I wouldn't be able to make many in such short periods. *laugh* So this year, like I said, I'll try to improve my walling and make even better ones. ^_^ And I shall also keep making e-cards that people enjoy here. :3 What memorable things happened to you in 2008? Whether bad or good, and if you want to share or not. As I said on theO, I can't really remember that many things. XD But great things for me were our Phillies winning the World Series and me watching every single game of their season (<333), Obama being elected president, me turning 20 [I guess that's a great thing], getting fish as pets, continuing my achieving straight A's in college...and yeah. ^^; I know there were lots of bad things as well, but I shan't talk about them! I hope that all of you that had a very tough 2008 look forward to this new year to make things a lot better. *hugs* I'm so glad I met all of you. That's what happened!! I made A LOT of new friends on here. I became closer with tons of people that I hadn't known before. I love this site, and I'm so glad that people are still visiting me...even after the renovation to theO that occurred! Yes, that happened this year, too. The big SPLIT, if you will. ~__~ That caused a lot of people to leave unfortunately...but now I also have many new friends. Anyhoo, yes, thank you all. Now aside from general new years stuff, what happened in these past couple of days?? Basically nothing aside from the delivered fish...that yes, are all alive. *nods* I've named them all basically after sports players that I like. For the most part, the discus are all (7) doing good...except for 2 of them. Joe and Dobby. Dobby has major parasites, and one of his fins doesn't really work. And Joe...he's a lost cause. :( It's really sad. Sometime during the delivery/flight, his equilibrium probably got SO screwed up. His water bladder or whatever that keeps them balanced and able to swim right was destroyed...unless he was born that way. He's essentially a retarded half-dead fish that can't swim right...and it's sad!!! ;__; He can't swim normally; he's always head up! So he's always looking straight up...he can't put his head down...he's a vertical fish, which isn't normal. I think he might die soon, which is terrible, but if he's the only one that dies...we'll be very lucky, seeing as they were shipped in boxes and left out in the cold! [edit: JOE DIED. T__T Of course he couldn't make it...poor Joe. We're going out to buy more fish today...] Um, other than fish!! I've been watching some new anime. I recently finished watching Overdrive, which was really good, and now I'm watching Toradora, which is cute and funny. ^_^ I also saw one episode each of Natsume Yuujinchou and Kuroshitsuji. I don't know what to make of them yet though...Oh! I'm going over a friend's house tomorrow. ^^; See?? I'm already trying to be more social. Christine always wants to do things with me...so I gave in. She'll pick me up, take me to her house, and we'll play karaoke revolution and whatever games she has. So sorry if I don't get on much tomorrow~~ Or today actually. ^^; I'll try though. *hugs* So yes, I think that's good for now. *hugs* Sorry if this ended up being longer~~ I honestly wanted to write a shorter one. ^^;; Honestly. And it MIGHT be! I couldn't tell. XD But many happy new years to all of you!!! *hugs* Thanks for being my dear friends. :3 I look forward to spending 2009 with all of you~~

Fish and fun. 30 EAST.

Hello guys~ How are all of you?? Thanks so much for the comments. ^_^ So nice to hear from you~ And thanks for putting up with my long Christmas post. XD I'm sorry if it was really, well, long and...seemed as if I'm spoiled. ^^;; Sorry. But thanks anyway. :3 Welcome back to bored-chan!! *hugs* And xaos, Mizu-chan...Stixx, chibi, Meg, Foxerz, Harvey, arigatou to all of you. ^_^ And many welcome backs to those that have been missing~~ Yes, of course I enjoyed my gifts! I enjoyed them all, and it was still a wonderful day despite some difficulties. So thanks again, my wonderful friends~ It's been a while...I think...maybe not, but it always feels that way to me lately. XD But I posted on theO yesterday! On my world. So thanks to those that saw that and commented, which was actually a lot~ ^_^ I'll talk about my day out in this post. :3 But first...well...my dad ordered some more fish for our fish tank. ^^; Yes, ORDERED. As in...to be delivered through the mail! Well, we all thought he was crazy to do that...I mean, sending live fish through the mail?? O__o But he got them today! They were supposed to come by UPS and have to sign for them, but no...it just came by the normal mail, and the mailman just left the box outside in the cold!! >< IDIOT. Doesn't he see that the box says, "Live fish" and "This side UP"? He didn't even have it on the right side. ~__~ So my dad was freaking out that they'd be dead...since these fish (discus) need really warm water. We opened the box up, and looked in side...and luckily they're all alive! So now they're in the tank, getting used to it...some are pretty freaked out, and they're all huddled by the heater. XD Todd is being a good boy and trying to befriend the new fish. *laugh* Or so I think. CUTE. Seyonne, my betta fishy, is ALL BETTER. ^__^ Yup! The new medicine worked wonders, and now the ick is all gone~ And his tail has healed up as well! So it isn't as shredded as before either. So I'm very glad about that. I was really worried about him. But now my mom's betta has some ick...gotta use the medicine on hers now. I wonder how they get it?? Alrighty, enough fish talk, ne? I just changed my avi again. XD Just made a new Mihashi one, so I was compelled to use it. ^^;; Though I don't know how much I like it...I don't tend to like the ones I make. :/ I guess cause I spend so much time making them and looking at them. Oh well. It's Mihashi, so it's all good. <333 Although I did like my last one...of Tokidoki...*sigh* I'm so fickle. Oh! It's almost New Year's day!! O__O I totally forgot. It's just a couple days away...wow...so are you guys doing anything special for it? Any parties? Gift giving? Not here. My family is so boring with stuff like that. XD The new year is just another day really...I stay up reading until 1am lately, so I'm always welcoming in the next day normally. *laugh* But when I was little, I remember that the new year was a lot more, well, exciting! Since I'd go to bed earlier...staying up until midnight was DARING and so EXCITING. And watching the ball drop and all was so cool...but now...I don't really care. I'm up late every night, I don't go to parties, and it's just another day...we just happen to write 09 in dates instead. Boy, I sure sound like a party pooper! Hah! But I WASN'T a party pooper yesterday! Why? Well, if your read my World's post, you'd know. :D I ended up doing something with my friends. ^_^ Yes. In my post I was talking about how nervous I was...because, well, I always am before doing something social...that's why I avoid social happenings as much as possible! I get major anxiety...even if I'm just doing something with one friend that I really know well. ^^; So yesterday I was going with Karen and her twin sister Laura [they stick together all the time! I'm mostly friends with Karen though] to this place called Color Me Mine, where you pick out ceramic things that are already made, and all you do is paint them. :3 Then they fire them in the kiln, and you pick 'em up a week later! I went there once when I was really little for a b-day party, and I still have the things I made. XD But it was fun...so I figured I should go. The original plan was for Karen to pick up Kin first, then get me, and we'd all meet at CMM to meet Phil. Well, that's not how it went at all. Kin canceled at the last minute (or so we thought it was the "last minute"), and so Karen picked me up (her dad drove though) and we were just going to leave and still meet Phil... Partway through the trip, Karen was like, "Where are we going? Is this the way to get to Wayne?" I'm like YEAH. Why? "Well...I think I told Phil the wrong directions. O__o" Lolz. So we told her to call him and see where he was. XD After several tries, he finally picked up, and he said he wasn't sure where to go...he didn't understand her directions...and that he was near his mom's house? He didn't know. So we kept telling Karen to tell him the simple directions of how to get to CMM. "You know where the Starbuck's is?? Just go STRAIGHT past it. Just keep driving straight for like 20 minutes, and you'll be in Wayne." Easy, right? Well, he still sounded confused. Karen's dad kept saying, "[route] 30 East. Tell him to just stay on 30 East." *laugh* Well, I laugh at that because now 30 east has become some sort of secret code for us. XDDDD Cause Karen was talking to Phil on the phone and was saying, "I don't know! They keep shouting '30 east' at me! What does that mean??" Hahah. It was very funny for us...of course, I guess things are always more funny when you're in the car with friends trying to make sense of directions. Anyhoo, we get to this pizza place for us to eat before going to CMM...and she called Phil again. He STILL wasn't coming...so she just told him he didn't have to come. :/ She gave the phone to me, and I just yelled at him simple directions again. XD That's how I am with him. They always know I act extra strict and sarcastic around Phil. He's like an annoying little brother. Well, we ate...and then...we just figured he wasn't coming. Oh WELL. So yeah, he ended up not coming...so it was just me, Karen, and Laura. Which was actually quite nice. :3 I'm glad. I like it better when there's less people. ^^;; The guy at the pizza place was funny...he had this huge round black-rimmed glasses...and they cracked me up...hahaha...and when we said we three wanted to share a small pizza, he said, "Oh no. I think, for you three lovely ladies, a medium would be better." ;D RIGHT. He creeped me out with that line. XD He just wanted more money. But we got the medium size...in the end, he was right...but still. LOVELY LADIES. EW. GO AWAY. Hahaha, so anyhoo, after we ate, we walked across the street to CMM. That was about 3:40 or something...we ended up staying there painting until 6!!! And they picked such simple things! Karen painted a brush (hair brush, like the part that holds the brush...and after they fire it, they put in the brush part), and Laura chose a tooth brush holder thing. XD So uncreative! I chose this cute fairy box! It's a round jewelry box that has this fairy sitting on top. ^^ It was really fun to paint~~ I took my time with all the details in her eyes etc. So I thought they'd be done way before me, but they weren't. XD HERE'S a crappy close-up pic of what my fairy looks like...before the firing. It takes a week for them to do that, so next week, Karen will pick our stuff up and give me my fairy box. ^^ I can't wait to see what it looks like all done. *__* I used lots of sparkly paints...and painted a butterfly on the front of the box. <333 Anyhoo, it was dark out, and we left...we wanted to get some ice cream from this place right across the street...so we waiting for the crossing signal for a while, and then went. By the time we got there, we noticed it was CLOSED. INDEFINITELY. ;___; So not just for the night...forever...nooooo...so that ruined our plans of having ice cream while waiting for their dad to pick us up. DX It was freezing out, and we waited and waited at this one crosswalk to get over to where her dad will park...and maybe check out this bakery. *laugh* Well, we waited and waited, and we never got the signal!!! We couldn't find the button to press...so we just assumed...it'd let us go sometime. XD It didn't. So we wandered around the dark streets for 20 minutes...came back...and...discovered the BUTTON. It was right there on the wall. XD We're so smart. *laugh* And of course, by the time we made it across, their dad was there to pick us up. Hah, oh well. We had fun walking around in the cold...me making them laugh...I'm always the life of the party with them. XD I even made their dad laugh a lot. I guess I'm good with sarcasm as my weapon. Yup yup! So then he drove me back home, and that was it! It was a nice fun trip. I really enjoyed it surprisingly. As usual, I was nervous for no reason, but like I said...it's just how I am. ^^; So I guess I'll see them again next week to receive my complete fairy. I'll take a pic and show you when I get it. Hopefully all the colors turn out how I thought they'd look...you never know with glazes. ^^; Umm...so that's essentially my day yesterday. Today I'm just lazing around, recuperating from the socialness. But then my other friend Christine ALSO wants to do something this week...ah, too much!!! >_< But I guess I will...since I'm too nice. Ummm....not much else for me to mention!! I'll do my best to comment today. I know I have emails to attend to...yup. *hugs hugs* So thanks very much for visiting me!! Sorry for the long post~ But I found it fun to write, so hopefully it will be for you to read. XD 30 east!!! 30 EAST. Haha. Inside jokes rule. <33 Take care, my dears~

Warning; a long X-mas related post! SORRY!

Hello everyone! Hello and many thanks to those that commented last time. ^_^ It's felt like a while~ Merry days after Christmas, and happy belated birthday to certain friends as well! I think I know 3 who's b-days fell on the 26th...so happy birthday. *hugs* And thanks for the comments last time. :3 Mami-chan, nice to see you again! And twist-chan, too! Wow, it's been a while. Actually...now that I think about it...everyone that commented the last time has been missing for a while! Wow, it was like one big reunion!!! XD johnny-chan, darke, Sesshy, Liz, and those I already mentioned. <33 Welcome back, and I've missed you! *hugs* No one apologize!! There's no need. :D I'm just happy to see you all again~ Arigatou for the Merry Christmas's and comments on my card and fanart. ^_^ Yup, so if you didn't see my last post, it had some artwork for you to check out; I'd love it if you could, if you didn't already. *hugs* I also put the drawing I received from my secret Santa, ankoku. Aside from those things, it was a rather mundane post dealing with a problem I'm having with a friend. ^^; But it's ok...I've done all I could, and now it's up to her to decide what's right! So yes. Now it's the saturday after Christmas...are you all enjoying your gifts if you got any or celebrate it? So many people posted yesterday about Christmas day and gifts and whatnot, so I noticed most people had a great one! Even if you didn't get many (or any) gifts, the day was still nice, right? I hope so. *hugs* If you didn't post, or if I didn't get to read, what did you get?? TELL ME!! [or if you don't want to, don't bother XD] Because I know most of you were asking what we got, I feel like I've already gone over my list several times...*laugh* but nonetheless, I'll talk about Christmas Eve and day now! Christmas Eve is, like I said, when we open family/relative's gifts. So gifts between me and my brothers or us children to our parents, or things from aunts etc. Well, this Christmas was rather bare from our relatives. ^^; But it's totally ok. I understand that most of my relatives are very poor, and they've been going through tough times aside from money matters lately...so it's fine. Aunt Glory gave mom a couple ornaments, and she gave the rest of us tea. She's known for being the biggest cheapskate in the family, so it's amazing she even gave us anything. XD Aunt Sunny and my cousin Shane gave us all things, although not great, but they're the poorest of the bunch. It's sad but sweet because even though they have nothing, they give and care the most. :( Whereas my aunt Melinda is rich yet doesn't give anything and doesn't care for the rest of us at all. ~__~ Anyhoo, from my brothers I got some games from Corey (a new DDR and a game for PSP, Yggrad...or something), and a $25 Visa gift card thing from Derek. I KNEW he'd do that. DX No thought. He either gives money or a gift card. Personally, I'd rather have something that he made or was even cheaper but showed thought rather than that! I know a lot of you are content with those things though, which is awesome, but I'm not. XD Um, my brothers liked their gifts...although, just as I thought, Corey didn't care much about the drawing I made him. Mew Lettuce is just shoved aside in our game room. He didn't even know it was supposed to be her at first!! ^^;; Now THAT'S bad. D; Oh well. D liked the Sagat card I made him as well as the other gifts. We kids gave mom this ID bracelet that's engraved with "Mommy" on it. Of course, my dad really bought it, but he realized too late that mom already has tons of ID bracelets. ^^;; So I told him to get one engraved with "mommy", and she'd think it was really sweet. So then he said, "Ok...and how about you guys give it to her instead? She'll probably appreciate it more than if it was just more jewelry from me." Which was true! We paid him part for the bracelet, gave it to her, and she thought it was so sweet. :3 She almost wanted to cry! I love my mommy. XD Umm...so that was Christmas Eve!! Then on Christmas day, D came over in the morning, and we opened gifts. Gifts from SANTA. Yes, Santa still comes to our house full of adults. :3 We started opening at around 11:30...which is so funny because when we were little, we'd get up at like 6am, you know?? XD Being all excited about Santa! *laugh* Now it's basically...sleep as late as you want, and then open. I'd say overall it was a good day...but as usual, bad things happen. I said that before!! Something always goes wrong on our Christmases. This time...as usual really...my dad became a Scrooge. He finds X-mas "stressful" and not fun. Obviously it's about the money spent, but he should at least try to be nice and have a good time...watching us all be happy!! ~__~ But no. He became a crab, and he even refused to open the rest of his gifts!! He yelled at mom saying, "Don't get me so much! I don't want all this. I'm not opening any more." >> So he didn't! He just left while we continued opening...and...poor mommy. You know how she has those stupid allergies to anything and everything? Well, her face started burning and puffing up, and her eyes were closing...so she couldn't stay and open or watch us open either. *sigh* She had to go upstairs. :/ Poor thing. So...those parts weren't very fun... As for my gifts though--they were pretty good. Lots of DS games (LOTS because my brother Corey is a game-buying and collecting freak, so he had mom buy lots of games for us...mostly ones I didn't want. XD), clothes (cute things from Hot Topic), these freaking awesome black leather boots by Harley Davidson (you know, the motorcycle company; my mom had the same boots, and I envied her soooo much...so she got me some of the same! I love them!!), baseball related goodies (cards, Phillies shirts, a Philly Phanatic plush [the mascot], Phillies World Series dvd), Winnie the Pooh things (watch, cover, calendar, mug), this cute Nami One Piece figure, and calendars. I'm a calendar whore. XD Or more like...my mom is for buying me so many. *laugh* I got 4 calendars this X-mas: Winnie the Pooh, fairies, Oofuri, and Yu Darvish. Oofuri I knew I was getting because you know I love my Oofuri. :3 And it's sooooo cute. Mihashi is adorable on the pages. <333 It's rather big though, bigger than my Death Note one from before, so it'll be hard to scan in. O__o And I'll explain about Yu Darvish. XD He's a Japanese pitcher that's half Iranian. He pitched for Japan in the '08 Olympics baseball, and he's really good...and really HOT. XDDD And another interesting bit of info! He posed nude in a woman's magazine. ^_~ Oh yeah~ So I now have this HUGE poster/calendar of him in my room, next to my bed. I also got the second American Idol Karaoke revolution for ps2, and I just was playing it~ Or rather, singing it. XD I LOVE SINGING. I don't know why, but I freaking love those games. I never thought I'd enjoy (or be brave enough) to sing outloud with a game like that. ^^ But as you know, I like playing it with friends and family as well! So I'm not shy in that respect. Singing is just so much fun for me. :3 I suppose that's one thing that makes me happy~ I can't resist singing to songs I know/like. XD Umm...yeah! Sorry if that gift paragraph seems long; it's not that I got a lot of gifts, it's just I was explaining about each thing. ^^;;; Sorry!!! Yesterday I had fun trying out my DS games. The ones I like the most are The World Ends with You, Chocobo Tales, and Princess Debut~ Oh yeah, I forgot I got a couple manga and books as well. I can't live without those! XD *apologizes again for listing more gifts* I really hope you don't mind. O__o; [edit: I just remembered...I was kind of disappointed on X-mas because I was supposed to get a certain gift from my dad! Mom said he got me something rather expensive and really awesome that I wanted...to be, you know, the "best" gift...but...he didn't give it to me. He said we got TOO MANY GIFTS--him being his crabby scrooge self--so he's going to save it. Until when? When will I get it? Never? Cause we supposedly got enough? That's not fair. And I have a good guess at what it might be...a camera for myself. ;__; I don't know if I'm right, but I was looking forward to something along those lines...and now who knows if I'll ever get it.] The weather isn't wintry anymore. For some reason...it's practically spring-like!! It's slightly rainy, foggy, and it's warming up. It's supposed to get to 60 degrees tomorrow, which is SO odd for us. I WANTED SNOW. So many of you guys got tons of snow...but I got none. Stupid PA and your stupid weather. DX Anyhoo, if you're curious about my betta fishy Seyonne, well, he's doing WORSE. The ick is getting worse on his tail. The medicine dad got him apparently wasn't the right kind. It isn't helping...it's getting worse...so today he and mom are going to buy a different kind. I'm concerned about my baby. ;___; He isn't eating, and like I said, his tail is all gross and has those little parasites on it! He's a poor thing. I'll need to change his tank's water...clean it...and see if the new medicine works. As for my hairy baby, Totoro, he's good. He's freaking adorable, of course. He's currently curled up in a ball, sleeping near my feet. <33 He'll only put up with me when Corey's at work! Sorry, this is getting really long, isn't it?? I"M SORRY!!!!! I'll stop now. But first, I added more songs (yes) to my imeem list. Ones from Eternal Sonata/Trusty Bell, several of which are Chopin pieces. <3333 Soooo pretty. I love that game and its soundtrack. Anyhoo, thank you sooooo much for visiting me. *hugs* Sorry if this post was torture to read~ Take care!

Merry Christmas, some things on my mind, arts!

Yup, just made a new card for your guys. :3 *hugs* So please take a look when you can. ^__^ Merry Christmas!! Well, just about~ Since it's Christmas Eve. And happy holidays to everyone! From Hanukkah to Kwanza and everything in between. :D Thank you for being such wonderful friends. I'm so glad to have you guys...really. Only a few comments, but that's ok. I don't mind. ^_^ I'm sure everyone is really busy during these holiday times!! So thanks Stixx, Meg, sparkle, and Cynthia! I really appreciate it. Meg, your comment was uberly sweet and encouraging. Thanks. :3 And of course thanks to everyone. ^^ Sparkle, I guess I'll have to talk to chibi about Kato then. Hopefully I can claim him, seeing as I only wanted Yamapi...who keeps getting stolen! XD Anyhoo, arigatou everyone for all the stuff you said about my fish, my past friends, etc. <333 I promise you this will be a short post. I'm posting later [almots 4pm], and I haven't even had lunch yet. Yeah, I know. XD Bad! I had breakfast past 1:00, so I figure it's ok. *laugh* :3 So yeah, it's Christmas eve. I just made a funny card for my brother Derek to go along with his gifts...since his gifts aren't very good. XD I'm sure he'll find it amusing. You can see it here. Sagat is one of his favorite characters to play as in Street Fighter, and I thought it'd be amusing to put a santa hat on him and whatnot. XD So he now has a hat and is carrying a sac of gifts. Hahaha. I thought it was funny. Um, usually every year I draw a chara for my brother Corey...but I'm not sure if I'll be able to this time. :/ Not enough time, and I just don't know...too lazy...but I might. We'll see. ~__~ The thing is that he likes my drawings a lot at the time, but then he just doesn't care...he puts it somewhere in a pile and is forgotten about! Or it goes in my room anyway, so it's like there's no point. Whatever. XD He's getting video games, so I think that's good enough. [edit: I did draw him something...Lettuce from TMM. Feel free to check it out~] I'm not in a very good mood today...unfortunately! I'm feel down. And yet again, it's a friend problem...but this time it involves an online friend, and nothing to do with the past! But now it appears that I can't even keep friendships with people online. It's so much easier to just be anti-social. *sigh* :( So this really really really good friend of mine...or so I thought!! That doesn't go on MyO anymore, well, we've been emailing each other since she left. I'm just horrible at replying to emails. I'm the same with PM's and basically anything. I FAIL AT REPLYING. It doesn't matter to who...sometimes it takes me over a month. *sigh* It's bad. But anyhoo, because of that or maybe because of just who I am, she thinks that I think she's a burden...that emailing her is a burden, and that I don't really care. But of course that's not true! I sent her a message since I hadn't heard from her in a while, saying Merry Christmas. She said she wasn't even going to ever email me back because she was pissed off at me. .___. Well, I'm just horribly hurt. I thought we were great friends, but she spoke as if there was nothing between us...and as if I was just some shallow jerk that didn't really care. I replied back, but I have a feeling it'll do nothing...maybe just make things worse. That's what I don't like...misunderstandings. I hate them. And it happens a lot online, obviously. All we're doing is reading and typing text!! *sigh* But gawd, she probably hates me now. I don't like it when people think that I don't care about them...or that I wouldn't miss them just because I get several comments or have lots of friends on here. People sometimes just don't comment my site because "well, you already get so many, you probably wouldn't miss me." THAT IS NOT TRUE. ;____; Why do people think that??? I'm not some jerk that forgets about sweet friends! Stupid, stupid. I hate myself. DX See, that's why I fail at friendships it seems. I just do! Thanks to those that still have stuck with me though. But man...being a hermit sure seems tempting. Anyhoo, enough of that. Sorry!!! >.< I just had to get that out. I didn't mean to make this Christmas post all depressing or angry!! ^^; But...I did. Umm...about my fish Seyonne, he's doing a tad bit better! He ate more, and we got the medicine. He should be well soon. Stixx, I hope that he doesn't die like yours!! O__o Don't say that!! He'll get better!!! *nods* I have faith. As for our other fish, like Todd...*laugh* Well, Todd is doing great! He eats like a horse. But unfortunately some of the little tetras have died. :( Boo. Dad got this blue background for the fish tank, and this morning I helped him tape it to the back. Now we just see blue instead of the wall and wires!! :D Hah! Pretty cool. I got my secret santa gift~~ From Ankoku24!! I was worried that my person would forget. XD So feel free to check out the gift they drew me. ^_^ Very cute~ [oh, and I don't know about you guys, but theO is acting up for me as far as comments go! I'm having trouble commenting and opening pages. They won't load. :/ So I'm terribly sorry if I don't get to comment much! *hugs*] Ok!! I'll end this here. Sorry it's a sucky post, but I need to eat, work on more presents, and just take a break in general. I'm pretty sure I won't post tomorrow, so I hope you all have a wonderful day!! *hugs hugs hugs* Take care, my dears~ I'll tell you all about my Christmas whenever I can. ^_^

Warning: thanks/no drugs, x-mas time, my fishy, art, anti-socialness, & sorry~

Hello!!!!! *hugs* Thank you for the comments!! It's felt like a while...ne? Or at least for me it has! Even though I posted saturday which was the first time in a long time...me posting on the weekend here. Now then, first thing's first. WTF. I WAS NOT ON DRUGS. Why is it that that's like the ONE THING people picked up on in that paragraph? *laugh* I said that some people thought I was because I was really tired when I posted...and very sidetracked from chatting with Oli-chan at the same time. ~__~ Not on drugs. Let me remind you: I have NEVER tried/done drugs, smoked, drank alcohol, or anything of the sort. I'm totally clean. So thank you to some people that KNOW that. XD Anyhoo, thanks for all the comments regarding our fishy trip out! *laugh* Lots of fish. ^^ It's great to hear from you guys again!! Stixx, it's been FOREVER. :D And Sesshy, chibi, etc. I know I haven't seen several of you in a long time, so yeah. XD *hugs hugs* Welcome back, and thanks! OOooh, it's getting closer to Christmas. :3 But...I sure don't feel like it!! Maybe it is because I'm older now...but Christmas hasn't been as exciting as in the past. :/ Last year was the same. I was more focused on my insomnia problem. XD And I still pretty much am. But now, I don't know, I don't feel like it's Christmas time. Maybe it's my slightly depressed mood...my not feeling real [how will x-mas feel real if I don't?]...yeah, crap like that. D; Also, it isn't the same when my family isn't all together and decorating the house. Since Derek lives in his own apartment, he didn't help with the tree...and Corey works (sometimes) and is otherwise just lazy...mom has those retarded allergies to EVERYTHING, so she couldn't do the garland with me on the banisters like usual. *sigh* So our house is kind of devoid of Christmas decorations aside from the tree. ^^; I guess...it just doesn't make it feel festive to me. And we have no snow outside. That's always a bummer. ~)))~ It's below freezing, but there's no snow, just cold. And things have been going terribly amongst my relatives so we haven't gotten any gifts from them in the mail like usual. [they're all poor except for my aunt Melinda who is horribly greedy and refuses to share her vast amounts of money; she and her husband are going to Hawaii for the holidays, totally abandoning grandma and grandpa...and our other relatives...] Regardless, tomorrow is Christmas Eve, so I better cheer up! On the Eve, we open relatives' presents [*cough*there are none this time*cough*] and presents from each other. So us kids will give our gifts. Dad got mom this gold ID bracelet with "Mommy" engraved in it. The Mommy part was my idea since she already has several with her name on it [dad totally forgot she did]...so instead of him giving it, he said that we children should pay him part of the money for it and then give it to her as a collective gift. :3 He said she'd probably like it more if it was from us instead of him. XD So ok! i asked my brothers today if they'd like to do that. Corey said ok, and Derek reluctantly said ok [he hates spending any money]...so anyhoo, that's nice. On Christmas morning is when we open "santa" gifts. Yes, despite all of us being 20+, we still get gifts from Santa. *laugh* It's wonderful. Hopefully those will be good days...something bad always seems to happen on X-mas [an argument, accident, jealousy, something], so maybe this time will be different. Ok, so remember Seyonne? My betta fish? Well, he's doing...ok...but not so great. :( He has these little white dots called "ick" (some sort of parasite or something) on his tail. Before they were on his face. It's some sort of illness that can go away with medicine, so dad's getting that today. I want him to feel better. ;__; Because he hasn't been eating. The first couple of days he was great, and he ate about 6 pellets like he's supposed to...but yesterday he only ate 1, and same with today. *sigh* He has no interesting. :/ I hope the medicine will make him feel better. My fishy!!! Haha, but yes! Betta are the fighting fish, so if you take a mirror and put it up to the tank, they'll see themselves and think it's another betta...hehe, and they "fight" them. So Seyonne's fins and tail get all big and billowy, his colors get brighter, and he puffs out his gills to look all tough. :3 It's cute. He also likes the plant I have in his tank...he likes resting on it, kind of using it as a hammock. A fish hammock! Um, so this weekend...what happened? Well, the usual nothing, I can assure you. A couple of my friends wanted to do something this week, but hah, I told them no way. It's the week of Christmas...and it'd be crazy to try and go out and do stuff. :/ And, it being that time of month for me, I felt like crap!!! >< Still do. Boo. Anyhoo, so maybe next week I'll do something with them. I basically used the weekend for my usual boring nothing. Made an e-card for Elves' b-day (though she hasn't seen it yet), and a wallpaper for blue-chan since I was her Secret Santa. You can check them out if you haven't yet. Thanks to those that have. ^__^ I'm glad you like them~~ Arigatou~ Sugar is sooooo cute. ^^ She's always been one of my favorite characters. :3 And that elf guy is hot. XDD Nuff said. Hah. Anyhoo, what about yesterday? What did I do???? DUH, the same nothing. Watched anime (Overdrive), played games (Katamari), made that wallpaper. I realize that I'm becoming more and more anti-social! You know how lots of people say that college makes them more social or more party-people?? Well, it's the opposite for me! I have a feeling that since high school, I've become even more reclusive. Well, I suppose it all started...in high school. After those several friend break-ups. ~__~ Being betrayed and whatnot really gets to you! Or at least, it got to me. So now I don't really have any great friends. yes, I have those friends I mentioned before that wanted to do things, but they're not "best friends." They're probably though the only ones I've done things with in the past few years since graduating. I haven't made any new friends since college really...I've made "acquaintances" that I can talk to when I see them, but I haven't done anything with them. I tend to do things alone there...like eating lunch and whatnot. I decline invitations to do things; so even if they want to hang out with me, I say no because I'm not comfortable in social situations anymore. *sigh* It's rather depressing. Why am I talking about this??? I don't know! I just was thinking about this last night while trying to sleep. And yet again I thought about that one friend that totally abandoned me. ^^;; I always come back to her. My friend problems seem to always stem back to her!! DX Bah. And then our house thing and moving...the problems with mom's health...all of that stuff made me an emo kid. >< I was never prone to depression and these feelings until those high school years. Gawd, even middle school. I hated middle school the most. I don't even remember it. I was sick so badly with that stomach problem that I missed a lot, so I don't remember it much. Thinking of those hallways brings nothing but bad memories. Same with high school for the most part. I totally wasted my teenage years with being depressed, sick, and anti-social. Now I'm 20 and have nothing to show for it. Even people still think I look 12. XDDD But really, I feel soooooo useless. *sigh* Aside from grades, I haven't made any accomplishments (unless you count online ones, like wallpapers). Speaking of grades, I got back mine for this last semester. I got all A's again. And again I'm not that happy about it. ~__~ Grades don't mean squat in the real world. Sorry, I'm getting all self-deprecating again. D; I've been like this a lot lately. ^^;; Bad timing! I should be happy. Well, I'll try. Umm...changed my avi again...I make it a point to change my avi like every couple of weeks. At least I'm not as bad as sparkle. She changes hers every few days it seems. XDDD So sorry to those that miss my last one; maybe he'll return again, but for now it's Tokidoki from Amatsuki. <3 Thank you for reading my post. Sooooorrrrry if I bored you...or if you're annoyed with me...or if I haven't visited you. I'll try better. *hugs* Thanks so much for being here for me~ Take care! And if I don't post again for X-mas, Merry Christmas!

Warning: thanks, last time, x-mas soon, yesterday (fishies!!),

Hey there-nyo! How are all of you? Thanks sooo much for the comments! I got a lot. ^^ More than I was expecting for such a crappy post. I'm sorry it seemed hard to follow or whatever! I was just really tired and sidetracked that day. XD But thanks to those that still commented. No, I wasn't on drugs. Psshaaa. I've never done drugs. :/ Unless you count having to take allergy meds everyday or sleeping pills sometimes! *laugh* Anyhoo, arigatou. Clyvia!! Girl! It's been SO long. Welcome back!! :D I've missed you. ^_^ Same to Anya, Yug, capture, and xaos! Wow. Lots of welcome backs. <3 And of course thanks to everyone else. I got lots of long comments, too, surprisingly. :3 Yay. Arigatou! I know. Strange. You're probably like WTF!! O__o Cause I haven't posted on the weekend in a really long time! That is, post here on myO on the weekend. Well, I figured that since I didn't get to post yesterday, I might as well today...although I'm sure I won't get many visitors [people get busy on the weekends], it's totally ok. :3 Um, so I'm doing better today, I suppose! I'm not as tired. XD I'm not as incoherent as last time. *laugh* Although, you never know! Since I'm chatting with Olivia again. XD There was too much Engrish going on last time. You know that site I talked about before? Hahaha, well, she and I were trying to just type nonstop in incoherent engrish-like sentences...so that's probably what tripped me up last post. Hah. So um, it's cold outside! VERY cold! But we have no snow. I hear lots and lots of people got tons of snow these past few days...many accidents and things. That's horrible, but I love the snow. I want some. ^^; We just got tons of rain yesterday, which I love, but around Christmas time, I want snow! You know? As for my sleep, well, I took a half a pill. :/ I know why my sleeping isn't so well lately. XD That time of month! Bah, I hate being a girl sometimes. Soo...umm...less than a week till Christmas!! :D Hooray! Aren't you excited? Well, some of you aren't. I've already hear that X-mas isn't the happiest of times for you. :( Sorry. But I'm pretty excited. I don't know what I'm getting...but I got something for everyone in my family, although it's mostly crappy stuff...and they all know about their gifts already. XD Since I don't drive, I can't go out and really surprise them! So I end up buying them right there with them. *laugh* And since I don't have a job, I can't spend a lot of money, so oh well! We've all kind of made this little mean pact regarding Derek's gifts...since he's been such a cheapskate as far as gift-giving goes lately, and sometimes totally foregoing ANY presents at all, we've decided to only give him little things or very cheap things as well. See how he likes it. I know that sounds pretty mean, but think of it as him getting coal in his stocking. ^^;; He's only spending money on his girlfriend and barely anything on his immediate family! I'm sure he'll still get great gifts from "santa", but those from me and Corey are very cheap... I'm watching hockey while i'm posting. Yes, I like watching hockey, too. XD Go Flyers!! <33 It's been a crazy game so far!! O__o We're winning with just one goal, and yet the "bad guys" keep making shots! Way more than us. XD Nittymaki (our goalie) is doing amazing! So go Flyers! They better win!!! XDD Anyhoo, I shall talk about...what...well, yesterday, but first, the night before. The day before was uneventful, but at night...something scary! Well, not too scary...not like anything bad happened, but ah!! ;__; So Corey and I were watching TV when Totoro started barking, and then we heard what he was barking about. We didn't know what it was, but we opened the window to listen...it sounded like screaming. Like whining and screaming...something very hurt...very sad sounding. We're not sure if it was a wild animal or what, but it sure made me feel sad. I don't like hearing animals in pain...and I started worrying about what it was. What if it was a dog??? What if it was someone's dog, and they were beating it or something?? It just sounded horrible. Every couple of minutes, this wailing. :( So I was disturbed for the rest of the night. .___. The sound came from right across the street from us, so that's why it's almost like it was from a house nearby. *sigh* I don't know, but waahhh!!! ;_; Ok then, on to yesterday. It was a very rainy and cold day, but we decided to go out and pick out fish for our tank!! :D So it was dad, mom, Corey, and I. We drove a further way than usual to go to this special aquarium place, called Nemo's. It was really cool and big! And they even had this area that looked like an actual aquarium with a few sharks in it. They weren't for sale, of course, but they were pretty~ They were smaller ones, but very cool...just kept swimming around in circles. <3 They also had this huge iguana that wasn't for sale. I kind of felt sorry for him, since he was just stuck in this smallish closed tank with one log in it. He barely had any room to move around in. :/ I took a pic of him, which I'm trying to send from my phone to my email, but gawd, my house has the worst reception/connect/whatever in the whole world. I consider it a "DEAD ZONE." D: *dies* I'll keep typing as I wait for it to send... So we looked at lots of fish there. Mom and I were looking at the betta fish (those fighting fish with the pretty fins) and seeing which we liked best. They're only supposed to be housed separately. They can't be in the same tank as another one because, yes, they FIGHT!! It's really cool though, putting their tanks next to each other (or a mirror in front of them) to see them flare up. Well, dad came up to us, and said, "Well...it was supposed to be a surprise, but since we're here, I got you both betta tanks so you can each have your own!" Woohoo! ^_^; They were supposed to be for Christmas, but why not?? So we were happy about that, although...I kind of didn't really want them. XD But dad is in super fish mode, and I've been helping him a lot with it, so yeah. :3 Mom knew which one she liked the most from the very beginning! A dark blue one that had the biggest prettiest fins out of all the rest. She's so lucky she got that one! I picked out mine, one with dark red and blue. He's more red than blue, but the colors blend to look purple. ^^ Very pretty. His tails/fins aren't as big and billowy as mom's though *envious*, but he's still pretty. We gave them names, of course. Mom named hers Blue Dragon (simple enough), and mine's Seyonne. <33 Seyonne is the main chara in the books I've been reading: the Rai-Kirah series (Transformation, Revelation, Restoration) by Carol Berg. <3333 I wub him. Yup! So we got those, several tetras, two little catfish, and an angelfish. :3 I named the angelfish Todd. *laugh* For good reason! If you guys remember me speaking of this Todd, you'll remember he's very cute and shy...and the angelfish is, too. Hahaha. There's too many tetras to name, but the little catfish are Reggie and Little Lou (after two of the basketball players on the Sixers). We had a fun time picking them out, but Corey was a turd, as usual. He's ridiculous. He's such a baby. :/ But you knew that already. Fish used to be his passion with dad. The tank was theirs, but now he doesn't really care since I helped out more. So at the store yesterday he was a grump, saying things like, "I'm not picking any out. It's not MY tank. It's Kelsey's and dave's!" [we call our dad Dave, although yes, he's our real dad] He was just pissed all day, like a spoiled baby. *sigh* It's impossible to do anything with him anymore. Wow! Finally my phone sent that pic to my email! It took over 10 minutes. I hate my range here at home!! DX Here's that Iguana! Hmm...well...that's basically yesterday! I spent most of the rest of the day checking out our new fishies and setting up my little betta tank. :D I've been trying to send the pic of Seyonne, but again, my cell phone is horribly slow. *dies* Oh yeah! I forgot. I made a wallpaper the other day. It's for ichitaka, made with his original character art. I know it isn't the best...sorry...it needs a lot of work!! But! He liked it, and so did lots of others, so thanks!! ^_^ Here it is if you didn't see it~ And finally, here's a crappy little pic of my betta Seyonne. :3 I think I've been writing this post for hours now. *laugh* I don't think I have anything else to say...so I should end it here...before I try to write about more things and make you read for 5 hours! Sorry this was so fish-filled. *laugh* I hope you don't mind. ^_^ Thanks soooo much for visiting me. Have a wonderful weekend!

stuff...i'm tired.

Hello!!! *hugs* Arigatou, minna!! Thanks so much for the comments. ^_^ Welcome back to my little otaku site of love and winter goodness...and probably boredom, too. It's felt like a while since my last post...but I don't think it's been that long. :/ Hmm...well, thanks to everyone for the comments!! Welcome back to whomever I haven't seen in a while, and welcome to a new friend, Damanex! I haven't had a new friend in a while, so yay. :3 Arigatou for all the comments and encouragement and whatever. Sparkle, sure, call me your onee-chan then. *laugh* More people want to steal Yamapi?? Ugh. D; What am I to do?? Be my guard dog and keep them away! Britty, it's nice to hear from you again! You're such a sweetie. ^^ And same to Meg, and Sinny, anna-chan, Foxerz, darke, jamo, and angelbest. :3 I think I listed everyone. *hugs* Thankies! I'm tired. ;__; Very tired. I didn't sleep very well last night...like the night before, and now I'm getting paranoid about it. I've gone a couple of months without taking sleeping pills consistently...and now I've had to take them two nights in a row and have a horrible time sleeping. *sigh* So I'm freaking out!! I get easily paranoid that if I'm not sleeping well for a couple of days in a row...then it'll stick that way for months and months like it was this year. ;__; I hope not...I hope it's just bad timing. *crosses fingers* I better sleep well tonight. I BETTER. Yes, that's right. I threaten sleep. I threaten a lot of things...sports teams, food, sleep... So I'm posting a bit later today...I almost didn't want to post again. XD Cause I'm so tired and lazy! *laugh* And anti-social! Bah. Um, but I've been chatting with Oli-chan (sweetdevil) and Harvey (Sherr). :3 Good times, good times!! Oli-chan got her package in the mail, so I'm soooo happy. ^^ And she loves it. You're welcome again, Oli-chan! I was worried that it would get lost in the mail or something...since I've never sent anything to Romania before. XD All is good though! Yay! I wish I could send gifts to all of you. You know if I could, I totally would. Umm...I've been spending a lot of time on Engrish. *laugh* You know that site?? It's so hilarious!! It has tons of examples of products and signs etc. from countries where English isn't it's first language...so everything's all jumbled. Most of it's from Japanese or Chinese things. I love it. Hahaha...you can waste some good time on there laughing. Ok, soooo...let's see here! The day before, dad and I were working on putting the fish tank together. So now it's all set up. It's got water, the plants, gravel, rocks, etc. etc. We had a lot of trouble with the heaters though. Apparently, for the fish that he wants to have (Amazon ones), the water has to be quite warm! And the heater wasn't warming up how it should...but I kept trying to tell him that it needs water circulation around them. :/ To evenly distribute the heat. Otherwise, the heater just shuts off because it thinks that the water around it is warm enough. Anyhoo, my dad was getting really upset over it and thinking that the heaters were just broken. I kept trying to tell him how they're supposed to work!!!! So after he went to bed, I tried something out (by moving one to another part, and lo' and behold, it turned on), and then I wrote him a letter about how I was right. XD Um, now it's all good! So we're going to get some fish tomorrow to put in! :D Yay! Finally a tank WITH FISH...not just an empty one. Hopefully everything will work right, and the fish won't get fried. O__o' This tank is bringing my closer to my dad. XD Well, actually...over this past year or two, we've gotten closer, mainly because of sports watching! *laugh* Before I didn't really watch sports...but now I can't live without them. XD So we have more father-daughter time during dinner. *laugh* It's quite nice. :3 I always feel bad when I hear about people not getting along with their dads. It's a common problem...unfortunately. ~__~ So I just consider myself lucky. I'm glad my parents are still together and happy...for the most part. Sure, my dad gets pissed off at a lot of little things...and when that happens, he totally blows up. *sigh* Not good. But...better than most. :/ Sorry. I'm not making much sense right now! I keep getting interrupted. *laugh* So I can't think straight. But um, I'll talk about yesterday now. So as I said before, I had to go back to the dentist! My tooth was too rough...and kind of sharp from the filling she did...so I had to go back. It was just going to be a quick thing, which it was, but my mom decided to agree to take Corey to his acupuncture while she takes me to the dentist right after. I didn't want to spend time with him!! Argh. I like as much time away from my brother as possible. *sigh* So I was stuck with him yesterday...well, him and mom, but still. So the dentist appointment was quick and easy. Now it's better. ^^ Feels normal, yay! After that, we went to the pharmacy to get my prescription toothpaste (yeah, that's right. it's sooo special)...but that TOOK FOREVER. We were there waiting for about 40 minutes!! It never takes that long just to get a prescription filled. *sigh* It was quite annoying...bah, I can't count how many times I went down the homeopathic remedy aisle. Soooo boring. But then we finally got it...left...and then picked up Corey... He, of course, wanted to go to Blockbuster to buy more GAMES. MORE. He has tooooo many. I'm so sick of it. He annoys me so much, too. Everything he does and says to me seems to piss me off lately. And it's so stupid because he says he OWNS every single video game. It's not like he's paid for them all. And what's even stupider is that he doesn't even play them. I play them. I play them, and mom probably paid for them, so I don't get it. He always says to me, "Well, you know that game's mine. You don't own it. When I move away, I take it. But...if you want it...you could pay me for it...or trade me for another game." WTF??? I HATE it when he says that crap. It doesn't make sense to me. He is just so annoying. I play and finish the games, assuming they're mine, and yet he says they aren't? And he always is looking for gratitude. Bah. He makes me so mad. *sigh* Sorry. I know I complain about him a lot...but it's just how he is. I'm stuck with him every single day, unless he's at work, and he just annoys me so much. He doesn't act 27. And again, WTF. It's not like he's moving out any time soon (lazy bum) so he shouldn't even talk about ownership of video games. He doesn't even play them. They're for his collection to just sit there. At least I play them. Umm...we went to the grocery store yesterday, too...nothing special...then at home, it was the same old, same old. :/ I honestly can't think straight right now. I think I'm way too tired. Oh, the other day I made a new e-card. I think most of you saw it already. :3 Thanks!! *hugs* But if you didn't, here it is: SORRY FOR THIS CRAPTACULAR POST. I can't think straight. I don't feel all that great either. DX I hope this wasn't too odd or boring of a post. If you can't think of anything...then tell me about your day...or what you're doing for the holidays. I don't know. Take care~

Warning: thanks, ice, dentist again??, fanlisting, card, pets, & mv

Thank you guys for the great comments!!! *hugs hugs hugs* I'm so happy to hear from you. ^_^ Hehe, thanks to those that went to that previous post and saw the pic of me! *laugh* I got lots of "cute" comments and "you look so young." Yes, yes, thank you!!! ^^; I'm glad you think so. And I always get that...I'm 20, but I look really young...like 14 or something. Yup yup. So if you didn't see that picture of my yet, and you really want to, it's now 2 posts ago. Anyhoo, thanks for the comments! *hugs* I hope I did well on that theology exam. :/ I'll have to wait and see. Sparkle, did your comment cut off? Did you have something else after the naughty Yamapi vid (which yes, that song...goodness!)? Meg, you're a sweetie, and I want you to get well soon!! *hugs* Oli-chan, arigatou for the comment. :D It's rare to hear from you. Good luck on all your stuff. And thanks again to EVERYONE for everything. <33 I was debating and debating whether to post right now or wait. :/ Well, I'm obviously posting now [before breakfast] instead of later. Looks like I'll be having food past noon! It's icing outside. *___* Icing or sleeting...whatever you want to call it. Little balls of ice are falling from the sky. :D It's so cool~~~ It was quite warm yesterday, and it was raining, but now it's cold with snow and ice! *laugh* I just went out and braved the ice since I wanted to get the newspaper and mail. XD So I was just walking out with little ice crystals plopping on my head. No hood or umbrella. I'm pretty sure people think I'm strange. I'm a big fan of precipitation. <33 I voluntarily go out and stand in the rain or snow or whatever. My family thinks that's weird, but they know that's just how I am. Hahaha. But my dad is a nature man, so he, too, likes doing that, but he uses an umbrella, whereas I go without. Ok, remember how I went to the dentist last week? And how it sucked, and how my tooth still felt strange, like rough? Well, it still does. ~__~ So I've got another appointment for today tomorrow [cause of weather] (darn it) to see if she can buff it down or something. It's really annoying having this part of the filling on the side of my tooth stick out. It constantly feels like I have something stuck in my teeth, so I try to get it out. XD It's really tiny though...I hope my dentist can do something about it. I'm afraid that she'll be like, "What? What do you want me to do? Looks fine to me. We might have to drill some more and add more filling then..." I HOPE NOT. But I tend to panic and overthink things. I always want to know what's going to happen before it happens...to be prepared. *sigh* Obviously that's not possible, so that's what gives me anxiety. Fear of the unknown and then me always trying to figure it out! So...I have to go soon for that...hopefully it won't be bad, and then my tooth will be ok. If you noticed, I changed my site a tad. [I also just changed my Imeem site!!] Aside from changing my avi to a new one I made [I change it like every 2 weeks; I have avi ADD or something], I also put the wonderful L drawing that my friend Rachew did up in that little bio box at top...you have to scroll down now. I also put my three Oofuri fanlisting buttons in my profile. :3 Oofuri, AbeMiha, and Mihashi fanlistings. ^^ I've never joined one before. I never saw the point. *laugh* But I believe Oli-chan sent me the one, so I went for it! I joined, and there you go. There's sooooo many fanlistings I'd want to join. XD There's probably a billion, but that's good for now. But still, what's the point?? But what I love about these Oofuri listings is how small they are. Most places have HUGE listings of tons of people, these have 3 pages at most, and only about 6 people in the US. XD I LOVE IT. I love exclusivity~ I posted on theO during the weekend. I talked about emailing Mr.Mooney at the exact same time that morning (our emails "crossed paths in cyberspace", as Mr.M put it), hahaha, about my English grade being the highest in the class. XDDD So yay to that!!! I also posted my new e-card. lots already saw it. *hugs* But if you haven't, go ahead~ [edit!! Made a new one] Ok, so what happened this weekend? Oh yeah, we went to some pet stores to look at fish, since my dad is going to have an aquarium. We used to have one at our old house, but since moving, my mom never wanted him to have one again. He'd never take care of it; the water would get all gross...algae everywhere. ~__~ But this time he promised he'd do better!! He still has to put the aquarium together (stand and whatnot), and then we can fill it and get the fish. As I said in my theO post, I spent most of my time looking at hamsters. XD They're SO CUTE!!! I want one. ;___; I kept watching them go around and around in their wheels. *laugh* It was so funny. I took vids of them. There was this smallish medium sized brown and white one that I really liked, and then there were black dwarf hamsters! So cute!! Hehe. ^^ So I had fun watching them. I'll never get one though--my parents would hate that, and I'm sure Totoro wouldn't like it either. He'd want to eat them. XD Also at the pet store, this lady brought in her adorable dog to try on clothes!! Heheh!! She was putting sweaters on her and stuff. She was an adorable little Pomeranian, white, very fluffy, with huge eyes and a big head. Cutest thing I've ever seen. She held her like a baby...gawd...I want one...Totoro sucks as a dog. Yesterday was a normal boring day. I didn't really do anything. Played games, watched anime...you know the drill. Watched an 80's movie called Alien Nation, which was actually really good!!!! So I recommend it. :3 Hmm...that ice sure is falling! Sounds like rain, but harder. Might be dangerous to drive. :/ I wonder if I'll still have to go to the dentist. Boo. Um, I don't know if I have anything else to talk about. I'm such a boring person on my break. XDD *laugh* Sorry about that!! Well, I added more (yes) songs to my imeem list. Feel free to listen whenever. And here's a vid. I know I showed it before, but i love this song. XD NewS's Weeeek!! <33 Yamapi~~~ Alrighty, thanks for visiting me! *hugs* I really love you guys. ^^ I'll do my best to visit when I can. Take care~
