Warning: kind of a shorter and boring post

Goody!! So many comments again. XD I love you guys. And it's exciting to see who will comment each time I post~ I'm seeing more from people that rarely visit and pop up every once in a while lately, but I like it! It's nice seeing you guys again. ^__^ And this time they were...Gi-chan [I finally have msn so I just put in your email address? I just don't go online much~], Angelbest, Lestat (don't worry; don't feel bad for the comment. :3 It was longer than some leave. Oh, and my brother is my older brother...I don't have a younger one), Shi-chan, and Driffter. :D See, wow, a lot of rare people. *hugs* And of course a major thank you to the other sweet friends that commented and comment me a lot. I'm so honored to have you guys~ I appreciate all the congrats and everything. :3 Yah, so another day of summer has arrived. These days are flying by, and I don't know if I like that! Then again, who would?? Unless they really like going back to school...hmm...no. Yeah, these days kinda just meld together, and I'm like, "Eh? What day is it? What did I do yesterday? Am I alive?" Gawd, I can't stand that feeling. :/ Bah!! Like seriously, for most of yesterday, I thought it was Sunday! I don't know why, but I kept thinking it was sunday and today would be monday! [it's really friday today, or so I'm told by my calendar] So I was thinking in terms of our baseball team and its upcoming matches, and I was like, "Aw, darn, no game tomorrow...and after this loss." But now I realize that, no, today and this weekend there are games, and I hope we win. Yes, our team decided to lose some more these past 2 games against the Mets. *shakes fist* How is it that I go from talking about being semi-depressed and not knowing days to baseball again? Sorry. XD I'm such a freak. So last night/this morning, I had really weird dreams! But then again, I tend to all the time. As you may expect, I did have some baseball-related ones, and that involved us driving by and seeing this team practicing. I was so excited to see that...and then all of a sudden, it turned into an anime about how these baseball guys (presumably the cast of Oofuri) are really cute little doggies. *laugh* Yeah, they turn into cute doggies. It must be my reading of Petshop of Horrors (if you're not familiar with that manga, well, I'll sum it up to say that the animals Count D sells are usually in the guise of humans). XD Um, another part of my dream involved me riding my bike and not being able to stop!! O__o And then another one was where we were in Japan, and in this anime store, and the guys were sorta forcing us to buy all these things, and they didn't like us since we were American. ^^; And we didn't have enough money. Yeah, I have strange dreams... Speaking of which. I haven't talked about my dreams in my posts in a while. XD So there you go. Now you're even more bored~ Now then...what to talk about... *long pause* I don't know! I'm trying to think of what happened yesterday and/or the day before, and I'm coming up empty. I stayed home and was forced to just do whatever my brother wanted when he was home (and by that I just mean watch anime all day), and then wednesday he went to work...but when he was gone, I don't remember doing much anyway. :/ Watched a losing baseball game, worked on my wallpaper, visited/commented people [yes, I did a lot of that wednesday!], played Persona 3...yup. I can't think of anything else. And yesterday I was in one of those crappy moods, where I don't feel real or alive, and I was pretty depressed! So much for those happy and lucky things going on in my life. Those are over now. -___- And my poor mommy...dad yelled at her and made her cry because she got more packages in the mail. He got so mad...*sigh* My dad gets mad at everything these days... I've been going in the jacuzzi everyday. It's nice, but it's pretty inconvenient when it's 100 degrees outside. :/ Last night it was nice though, since it was pretty cool out. I hope it's cooler out today, too...I don't like really hot and humid days. And that's all we've seemed to be having lately. Bah. It doesn't even feel like I'm on summer break...wtf...it's not like other years at all. Other years, I could walk outside and feel AH, SUMMER and hear the cicadas and everything...but this year, when I walk out, I see the same boring, dead, scenery...my new house is so nature-deprived. *sigh* And it isn't like last year because, even though we moved last year, we were still able to go to our pool at our old house since it wasn't sold...but now...I haven't been in a pool the whole time. I miss it. That relaxing time...sure, we have a jacuzzi, but it's freaking hot...and it isn't as fun. I did make a new e-card yesterday though. A birthday gift for my friend bonitachika792. :3 So please check it out if you want. Thanks. And thanks to those that already commented. ^_^ Umm...this is turning out to be a very boring post, ne? Sorry about that. I just don't want to ramble on about the things I was going to; I'm afraid this would get TOO long. And I'm seriously wasting time here with trying to find an amv!! XD How'd it get so late?? Sheesh! I was trying to find a good amv with the Aishiteruze Baby opening song, Sunny Side Up, because it's such a great song...so cute, but I couldn't find any good ones with the full version. They're all slideshows! So here's just the original tv version (short), sorry~ Well, thank you a ton for visiting me. :D *hugs* I wub you guys so much. I'm sorry if this post was shorter or really boring...definitely the boring part holds true! If you feel as if you can't find something to comment on, feel free to be creative. XD Ask me some questions or something to answer in my next post!! Or tell me about your day! Or something. Just don't leave a one-liner. XD Thanks. *hugs* Have a great weekend~

Awwww, so many wonderful comments by wonderful people!! I can't believe they were so long! Oli-chan, you even had to separate it into two! Well, that's cause of the whole >_< face that screws comments up so much. XD Kiyo-chan, Filo, Kita, and everyone else that hasn't been here in a while...and it actually felt like it was most of you. XD Welcome back! Thank you for commenting again. *hugs* Don't hold back in long comments either; I love them. ;D Just lately, I haven't had time to read them before my post...like today! I didn't get to read your sweet words, but I will later! So THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. <3 Goodness, it's even later now. DX I'm going to have to really make this short...crapppppp. Well, it's because I was checking other sites, and then I felt really sick to my stomach so off to the bathroom *rolls eyes*, and then I was trying to send pictures TO my phone so I could have a nice wallpaper on it~ I was having trouble with that, but I finally got it to work, so yay. But now it's already past noon...goodness...and I haven't written a thing. :/ Sorry guys. Then again, most of you probably don't mind at all~ It's not like I get people commenting 2 minutes after I post. XD I used to though! Back in my hey-day [or is it hay-day?] on MyO, which was roughly last year, so many people would update! SO many. My friendslist was all blue...it was insane (I couldn't keep up with commenting), and so I'd have friends that would visit almost right after I posted. Steph, you were usually one of them! *hugs* It was crazy though, but now I only get a few comments even after a day...so it's nice that I don't post everyday anymore. Umm...so yeah...I'll be quick about this then! First off, monday! I said I was going to see Hellboy 2, and we did. Usually our plans go to ruin right away, but for once, we stuck with them. So we saw the movie~ It was pretty good, but I'd say it was very strange and a bit too long! I mean, I LIKE strange with all the cool creatures and everything, but it didn't seem like Hellboy. It was really different from the first movie, and I suppose it was because of the director [it was that Pan's Labyrinth guy]. The characters are all very neat, and I did take a liking to the prince guy...except that he was ugly...haha, BUT from behind, he looked sexy. XD Long blond hair, elf-like ears, cool clothes...ANYHOO. The movie was overall pretty good; it just seemed like a totally different fantasy movie than the previous one. Have any of you seen it or want to see it? I'm sure most of you are focused on the Dark Knight. Well, I am, too. I want to see it, but we're waiting a bit so that it isn't too new...crowded theaters aren't fun. Ok! So also that day, as I mentioned in a couple posts on my World, I found out that I was promoted on AP. :D From a normal member to a community waller, which is like becoming a senior otaku here. ^^ That totally made me happy...I was shaking with excitement! And then yesterday's events also made me shake!! ^__^ Most of you probably already saw, but I'll just say it again here...that I won the Burst Limit Contest with my Ace Attorney wallpaper from before. I can't believe it; I still can't! I've never won anything tangible. If I've even won anything, then it was probably something online that stayed online...nothing truly real. So for now, I don't really feel like I've won...I just don't believe it. *is in denial when something good happens* I won't say more because I don't want people to think I'm bragging, which I'm not. I think everyone that entered had a fair chance, and there were lots of great entries. I was just the lucky one. For slightly more details, you can just read my posts here. My brother Corey always puts a damper on things though...so I told him that I won this, and he totally downplays it. Not, "Oh wow! Good job! Congrats!! That's amazing!" Hah, yeah right. *dies* No, he was just like, "So you made this? Huh. What's so good about it? How is it better than the others? I can't tell. Oh, good so you finally got ME a game! I'm always getting you things, so you finally did something for US." >.< WTF!!!! WTFF!!!!! That's how my brother is. He has trouble with ever complimenting anyone and thinking of anyone other than himself. So according to him, my winning this game and whatnot just means that it's another game that he can play as well and that it's his. It's NOT. I told him that no, it's finally something that I WON for MYSELF. Gawd. He annoys me so much. And I had to go out shopping with him yesterday...yeah, for more video games. *rolls eyes* Doesn't he ever get tired of buying things??? But no, I had to pay money, too... Last night was an amazing baseball game. I would go into the details, but I'll just sum it up in the easiest way possible...the Phillies won against the odds! We won against the Mets, and it was sooooo great!!! It was SO great cause we were losing the entire game until the last inning, where we somehow freaking caught up and won. XD It was so exciting, and it made me so happy!! So yeah, these past couple of days have been lucky ones for me. I'm not used to good things happening like this...it's unreal...so in a way, it's depressing. Ok, I need to stop now and go eat...sorry if this was shorter or annoying or anything. *hugs* Thanks for visiting, and this time for real, I'll try to comment more today. I'm sorry I haven't been. :( I'm terrible. Thanks again. Take care!!

Warning: thanks, morning/art, sleep/pet bed, ice cream and totey, chatting, today, & sorry

Hello all! Thank you for the great comments~ I wasn't expecting any since I posted much later last time. But hey, I can always count on you great friends! And ones that it has definitely been a while for commenting: Oli-chan, Heley, and xaos, and then from friends that took a break but are [hopefully] returning, like Imasyon and Effie-san! Hooray! And thank you to the rest. :D The rest meaning Stixx and Reki. XD Might as well name you all! *hugs* Arigatou for the comments. Yes, I have very sensitive skin...I'm such a wuss! And that lady was absolutely rude. *nods* Oli-chan, about the book I was reading, it isn't exactly "religious fiction." I mentioned religion because there's like this strange cult in it, and the main guy is hiding out in a monastery. It's a very good book. Hmm...so yeah, thank you again guys! Yet again, my time passes all too quickly! I got up much earlier (haha, by "much" I guess I mean 15 minutes) to hopefully start posting earlier, but like most other times, I get distracted by other sites! I didn't stay on AP long, but then I went to theO and was checking things there...like comments/replies. And the fact that there was that image glitch yesterday! That was stupid; I'm glad I didn't submit anything, but some friends of mine did, and it really hurt. People couldn't view them, so it was like pointless to have something submitted. :/ And a friend of mine, ichitaka, submitted the most adorable drawing ever (requested by me), and it isn't showing up in the gallery or in his portfolio...that's like what happened to me with some cards and wallpapers before! They disappear into this abyss forever! Subscribers can see them, but no one else can...and then they're gone...so I hope he resubmits it. Anyhoo, because of his drawing, I changed my avi. Neko Miha. Mihashi (from Oofuri) with cat ears. XD I love it! So obviously that has to do with his artwork~ I'm such a freak. I mean, that's the first thing I talk about? XD But it's so cute! Anyhoo, I didn't have a great night last night, but then again, when do I? You'd just think that the sleeping pills would knock me out, but they don't anymore. My mind fights to stay awake because I'm totally afraid of sleeping...I think. It's weird. :/ And I couldn't get comfortable at all. Like I've been trying everything to help me sleep without pills....so...maybe my bed itself isn't soft enough? Well, to try and solve that problem, guess what we did? We bought me this big, soft, dog bed [it's basically like a big pillow, not the kind with the sides and all] and put that on my bed. Well, it's definitely soft, but it isn't quite big enough to fit all of me on...so my legs hang over, and just bah! I know, that sounds ridiculous, and it really is, but I'm desperate! :( *sigh* And I wake up and go into the bathroom...and look in the mirror, and like I've said before, hideous! I need to remove all mirrors from the vicinity... Let's see...so what to talk about...well, there was this weekend...hmm...I told you about friday, going to the chiropractor, and I'm pretty sure...no, wait! Something else did happen that day. Well, that night. After dinner, my dad sometimes takes us (or just me) to this ice cream place down the way~ And it's really good. Anyhoo, my mom usually doesn't come with us...after dinner, she doesn't like going out at all, but this one time she offered to come! With Totoro (my dog), too. Well, that was interesting. My family (aside from dad) is nothing but anti-social people. XD We don't like going out of the house! So my mom didn't want to get out of the car because she "didn't look good" to get the ice cream; plus, we had Totoro, and he isn't used to other people either. I didn't want them trying to pet him or scare him off. But my dad made us all go out...so I took Totey on the leash, and everyone was looking. "Aww! Look at that cute doggy! Puppy! Aww! Cute!" [he's not a puppy, he's 8] And well, this one big lady came over, wanting to pet him...and Totey was so scared. His tail was down, and he wanted to run away. :/ So the lady didn't get to pet him, and I apologize for Totoro's uncomfortability around people. XD After that lady, there was this cute little girl and her sister that wanted to pet him, too! Totey was still freaked out, and I felt so bad for the girls. She walked up and just tried to pet him a little, but Totoro still had his tail down and resisted. :( So she didn't get to pet him. The girls and their dad saw us walk off when we got our ice cream, and they knew what our car was. So as we were leaving, the little girls and dad were waiting outside the place, waiting for us to drive by~ They wanted to see Totey again. ^^ I rolled down the window and TRIED to get him to stay by the window long enough for the girl to pet him, but that was still a failed attempt. *sigh* After that, I felt SO bad for the girl...bad dog...she just wanted to pet you!! Yeah, wow, I wrote a lot on just that. XD Umm...I guess that's because the rest of the weekend sucked. I didn't do anything. I didn't get out of the house at all, and the baseball games were terrible [both losses]. I went on theO's chat rooms for a bit, and that's fun! It's fun, but I feel like I'm wasting my time. :/ Like I should be doing something else...that's how I always get after chatting (whether on AIM or whatever) with people...or even doing things in person! I worry about the things I say and if I said something stupid...and then I think, "I should be doing something productive." So I'm sorry if I tend to leave chats quickly...but still, I did have fun. But see, when I'm doing that, I can't do anything else. *can't multi-task while chatting* So I felt bad for not commenting...I really didn't comment anyone this weekend. Sorry. :( I suck. And I think it was saturday or something, but I felt so depressed...like gawd, drown me in sorrow. XO Okies...sorry. Um, about today, I think we're going to see Hellboy II. I want to see the new Batman movie, but we'll wait till later since it's still so new. I don't like going to super new, just released movies because it's always so crowded. So yeah, today we're probably going out...and Derek (oldest bro) took today off so he might go with us. Last night, my dad and I had a conversation about generosity and whether it's a learned behavior or inherit. We must've talked for 40 minutes or more on the topic. And then also about greed versus cheapness! The difference between the two. I felt like I was writing a thesis paper right then and there...if I didn't already write so much in this post, I might discuss that. Oh, and why did we discuss it? Cause Derek came over...and we decided that he isn't very generous. :/ *leaves out details for lack of time* Maybe I'll mention it next post~ Sorry this post is so f-ing long...and no amv again. Sorry! *hugs* Thank you so much for visiting me. I'll try to visit you guys when I can, but I don't think I'll have much time today. I appreciate all of you, and I really hope this post wasn't torture. XD Though it might've been. Thanks, and take care!

Warning: yeah, it's a later post. went to chiropractor, stuff from yesterday, etc.

Hello! I know, it's later than usual...but then again, most of you might not even notice. XD Some of you might, if you're the types that like to comment earlier (or maybe at a certain time depending upon your time zone)...but yeah. I didn't have time to post this morning because of going to the chiropractor.I shall mention that later. :D Thank you for the comments! *hugs hugs* Several of you...goodness, it's been so long!! Effie-san, animegirl, and fox (and maybe even Reki)...it's been forever. Effie-san and animegirl, I feel like it's been a year...and it very well might have been. XD So welcome back! *hugs* You're all so sweet. Thanks again for the comments. :3 Yeah, so this is a later post. I'll try to make it shorter as well...maybe...you know me. ^^; Anyhoo, so I didn't have time to post at my normal time because we went to the chiropractor. Sure, I could've woken up earlier, but I figured...nah, what's the point? Last year, I probably would've done that though. I used to be so incredibly obsessed with theO that (as some of you remember) I would post every single day, without fail; I felt so bad if I didn't post! But now I'm kind of more regular...but not exactly since I do like to stick to this routine. :/ See? I could have not posted at all today, but I worried that maybe some of you would be shocked. XD Sorry! How self-absorbed of me to think that. Ummm, so yeah, went to the chiropractor; I've been waiting for about a month to go. He was on vacation for a couple of weeks, so I've been killing (back and neck). He wasn't able to fix me much, but I sure was giddy. It was hilarious. XD I always seem to scare him because I'm really sensitive to heat/pain etc...so when he puts on the heating pad and these tingly electric pad things on my back, they always feel too strong and hurt! I tell him that, and he's like, "How can you even feel that?? I have it on so low! It's on toddler level!" Hah...yeah, well. ^^; He said I was pretty messed up (physically, not mentally, mind you), and it's a good thing we saw him. He's worried about my not sleeping, too...which sucks. After my and Corey's visit, it was my mom's turn, and so he and I were waiting outside in these chairs next to a table, which were outside of this hair salon next door. After a bit, this lady comes out, and she starts smoking right away, right THERE in front of us. *cough* Then she rudely says, "Oh, are you enjoying OUR table?" SORRY, lady. Didn't know if was YOUR table specifically. *rolls eyes* My brother and I just replied with, "Yes, thanks." *laugh* Then we got up and left...but jeez! We were just waiting there. :/ Uh...then we went to get some groceries, got lunch, and went home. Yay. As for yesterday...well, it felt like a very much wasteful day to me! My brother was out fishing with that friend he went with before for most of the day, and then he went to acupuncture, so I had tons of time to myself. Unfortunately, I pretty much wasted most of it by trying to download photoshop CS3 for free. A friend of mine on AnimePaper was helping me because she had this trick, if you will, to get it for free...less than legally. XD But of course, that's how most people do it these days. ^^; Anyhoo, so it sounded really easy, and it would have been! But I downloaded the wrong version, and so I had to redownload the other one [my computer is super slow]...and then she gave me the wrong numbers to put in, and agh! It was just so frustrating. I wasted like 4 hours on that. :/ I really didn't do anything else. But at least now I can say that I have the newest photoshop...but I'm worried I won't use it much since I love my old version 7.0 so much. ^^; After all that work...hmm. Kinda sucks. Other than that, I spent a little bit on the new Otaku Chat thing they have going on at theO. It's pretty wild. XD So many people talking at the same time! I can't keep up, but it's pretty fun. :D Hah. Oh, also yesterday, I received my manga and books that I ordered online~~ Woot! I'm super psyched to read them now. Took about a week to deliver, but at least I got them. And just in time, too, cause I finished reading the book I [was reading] called "Flesh and Spirit" by Carol Berg. It was really good...and so I ordered the sequel. :3 It's fantasy with some religion, nothing scary or anything. It's really good. Better than I thought. Okies, I think I've taken up enough of your time for now. I don't expect many comments, but eh, it's the weekend anyway. Sorry if I don't get to comment much today...I see a lot of people updated, and it's somewhat intimidating. O__o Sorry. *hugs* Please don't think I don't care though. :( So not true. I wub you guys. Thanks for taking the time to read this boring post of mine~ Hope I didn't worry anyone either. XD Have a great weekend!!

Warning: too lazy to write one

Hey guys~ Thanks a ton for the comments. ^^ I don't have time to read them at the moment, seeing as I totally overslept and wasted time on AP! I sure know how to waste time with my mornings. In fact, I never really see the morning! I get out of bed after noon! I'm amazed at people that can wake up on their own free will at an early time. It's amazing. Anyhoo, thank you all for the sweet comments. :D I look forward to reading them later; I'm sure they're helpful, encouraging, and amusing! Thanks for being awesome friends. ^^ Yes, wow, what a short thanking paragraph today! Well, that's because, like I said...I took forever to get on here. Before I knew it, I woke up and looked at the clock...only to see it said 11:20! I then proceeded to lay there some more and try to wake up...I got up 10 minutes later, went to the bathroom, etc, and came on my computer at 11:40 something! Then I went in my usual order of things--check emails, go to AP if there was a message notification (which there was...so I was replying to a PM), check theO for comments there, and then I came here...but then I remembered that I didn't get to see the end of the All Star baseball game last night, so I had to check to see who won! Ok, so now here I am...to post about my boring life! I am truly amazed at how much I can write when I seriously have no life. But today's might be shorter...since I am short on time, and I don't know what to write about. :/ Hmm. Well, first off, monday night we went out to eat! We went to this restaurant called 99, and it was pretty good. Not that great, but it was ok. I was sad because it wasn't that restaurant with the cute waiter guy...I wonder if we'll ever go back. *sigh* If we'll ever go back, and if he'll be there at all! Ugh! So anyway, the service was really quick (too quick; so quick that the waiter apologized for bringing it out so soon). I got some bbq chicken wrap thing...it wasn't that great. :/ Nothing was that great, but eh. Then after that, my dad took me inside this new ice cream and chocolate place. It's designed to look like a Swedish ski house or something; it's cute. It took us forever to decide what to get, although their only ice cream flavors are chocolate or vanilla. XD They have music playing, and on came "Uptown Girl." Hahaha...so I started singing it, and my dad supposedly hates that song, so he was telling me to stop. But it's so much fun. *laugh* It's one of those songs that get stuck in your head...like now...now that I've mentioned it, I'm singing it!! Nooooo.... Later that night was the all star home run derby. A player from our team, Chase Utley, took part in it. It's a shame...for many reasons. One, I didn't think he'd do well since he isn't the best home run hitter; two, when being introduced, the whole crowd booed him [New Yorkers hate us Phillies]; three, he made a fool of himself by not knowing there was a mic on him...thus proceeding to say, after the booing, "Boo? F*** you!" for the whole audience to here. Oh, and four, he lost in the first round of the derby, only getting 5 homeruns. :D So needless to say, he was a great (sarcasm) representative of our team. HERE is the vid of the cursing incident. People put the vid on youtube like 5 minute after it happened. XD Yesterday...was another boring day...another day of being held captive (practically) at home with my brother. He now doesn't work on tuesdays, which totally sucks. *sigh* Now it feels like he never works! I need FREEDOM!! -__- I'm tired of his crap. Anyhoo, so that means I just watched anime all day...more and more...I certainly don't dislike that, it's just that if he weren't there, I'd be able to do what I want...like go on the computer, etc. Bah! So yeah, more new anime I've been watching--Emily of New Moon. It's really sweet and totally different from most anime. It's based in the 1800's on Prince Edward island or something, about this girl named Emily [voiced by Tomoko Kawakami, my favorite seiyuu...plays Misuzu, Sugar, Utena, etc.]. It's interesting and cute so I recommend it! At night, there was the All Star baseball game! Once a year, the National League and American league put together teams of their best players (based off of fan votes...) and get together to play a game. Well, my team is in the NL, and Utley was in it. The NL usually loses every year...and we did again. :/ BUT! We gave up a huge fight! Tied games and went into extra innings for the longest AS game ever! It went into 15 innings that finally ended at past 1:30am. XD I didn't watch the end...I watched till 12:50 or so. The game started at 8:30, so yeah, holy crap...those poor guys having to play so long! Too bad our side lost. Ok, this is getting longer than expected. I'd love it if you checked out my post on theO, but it's fine if you don't, too. I made a new e-card so comment if and when you can, thanks. ^^ Alrighty, sorry for this longer than I thought post...but I'm sure it was quite boring, too! Especially the baseball part. Most of you probably didn't get it. ^^; Sorry. Umm...so yeah, thanks for visiting me, and have a wonderful day! *hugs*

Warning: thanks, new theme/floor bed, mail, get smart, baseball,anime, art, & amv

Hello, all of you sweet friends, you. Thankies for the comments! *hugs* They were all quite long, so I'm amazed! I didn't expect such detailed comments, but I guess my post was pretty long, too. XD What with all my complaints and everything! Sorry to put you guys through that all the time--my brother just gets to me, so I need to vent somewhere! A lot of you said some "mean" things about him, and then you apologized, but there's really no need...seeing as I'm the one saying bad stuff about him since he's mean to me! So no problem! Anyhoo, Driffter, arigatou for the comment! I thought you had visited before, too...well, that's fine. ^^ Imasyon, it was awesome seeing you two times in a row! *hugs* And Lory, too, I'm glad I'm hearing from you more often. :D And thanks, of course, to every other wonderful friend I have! *hugs* So some of you that commented after friday probably already noticed, but I changed my theme. I felt that I needed to since I had my last one up for a month, I guess. So it's a light purple theme now! At first, I had the text boxes purple with white font, but now I've reversed it. Does it look ok? Easy to read? I hope so. ^^; Anyhoo, yet another day is upon us...and yet again, I'm tired, and I feel like crap! I hate that time of month! Gawd, I say it every time, but it sure can suck being a girl, especially at times like these. :/ Umm...as for my sleep, well, it sucked of course! I tried sleeping on MY floor, since I used to love sleeping on it in my mom's room at our old house, but it just wasn't the same. I was really uncomfortable...I put down several covers to lay on, but it was just too hard. *sigh* I was hoping I'd sleep well, but I ended up migrating my covers back onto my bed and took a sleeping pill. *sigh* I'm hopeless. I just need a change of scenery though! That's why I thought the floor would help; I'm tired of being awake and seeing my room and be on my bed all that time...and I get the anxiety feeling right before laying down...I relate sleep/bed to bad things now! Ugh! So yeah. After I post, I usually get breakfast, but before that I walk up to get the mail and newspaper. I have to read my sports page every morning nowadays. XD I'm a freak! And I have to check the mail before my brother does because I'm expecting those manga I ordered online, and if he sees that I got more, he'll probably get all pissy again. He gets mad when I buy manga and books, but there's no reason! HE spends all his MONEY on video games that he doesn't play; so there! At least I read what I buy. Hmph. This weekend was pretty boring, but first I'll say that on Friday, I went with my parents to see the movie Get Smart! It was actually funny! :D I wasn't expecting it to be, but it really was. I don't remember much of it now, but at the time, I thought it was good. XD My mom pointed out that Mel Brooks had some part in the making (Director? Producer? original writer?), and that definitely made it better! I love Mel Brooks's movies; he's a comedy genius. It was nice to see a movie that just had fun and witty comedy, not like most stupid comedies these days that always involve sex in some way. -__- So yeah, that was friday~ Saturday, I don't remember much. It was boring, and I barely watched the horrible losing baseball game. It was on the Fox channel, and I hate it when it's on fox!! The announcers/commentators are terrible, and the set-up is all weird and different...ugh, and it was just a terrible game overall; I couldn't bare to watch. Yesterday, however, I did watch most of the baseball game, and we won. :D I thought we were going to lose again because we started out losing, but then we made an awesome come-back! ^^ That was the last game before the "all-star break," which is the little break during July [half-way through the season] where the all-star game is played. That's on tuesday; today is the homerun derby. Our player, Chase Utley, is going to be in it, and he as well as one of our pitchers is going to be on the all-star team. ^^ And then there's a couple days off of games, and then friday is baseball time again! So there's your report on baseball! Sorry if it bored you to death~ As for the rest of yesterday, I worked on a new e-card, visited some people, etc, and played more games. Some other anime I've been watching is Bamboo Blade (cute and funny), and unfortunately this show called Kodomo no Jikan (Child's Time). My brother suggested it, and I know why! Ugh! I'm sorry, but it's very disturbing. Unless you like lolicon (pedophilic love, anyone?), then you probably will think it disturbing as well! These girls are like 8 years old, in elementary school, and the one girl is in love with her teacher...and I don't understand how or why, but she has such adult and dirty thoughts! She's always asking the teacher guy, "You wanna do it with me?" Like, WTF. It's gross...unfortunately, it has its good and funny parts, so I just try to look past the huge age differences and gross thoughts. O__o'' *cough* So yeah, this weekend I made some art! If you haven't checked them out, please do! *hugs* Thanks for all the sweet comments already! :3 Okies, as for today, I don't know what's going on, but it's probably nothing! I need to get out of the house though! *nods* I need to. -___-; And hopefully without my brother! Umm....here's an amv! I love this one. :3 Nodame Cantabile to a really good song that I don't remember the name of, sorry. XD Just enjoy! Thankies thanks, thank you! Thanks for the comments and for visiting me when you can. *hugs* I really appreciate it. I'm amazed people still want to visit me and read my boring long posts after all this time! I'm sorry if you actually dread it; if you do, it's ok if you don't want to comment. ^^; I'll try to visit more of you guys when I can, too. Take care!

Warning: thanks, anxiety/dreams, yesterday/anime, card/tablet, jerk, & sorry

Arigatou, minna-san! I wub you guys; thanks for the comments. :D It was nice reading your comments about anything and everything I rambled on about...like the annoying workmen, my poor doggy, the baseball team, and my new phone! Yes, it was a fun read. *hugs* Imasyon!!!! ^_^ You don't know how I've missed you!! It's been so long! I swear, it must have been over 5 or 6 months! Maybe longer...I don't even remember, but it's been a long time since I saw you, so welcome back. *hugs* I'm amazed you still remembered about my Jeane drawing! Thanks! And welcome back to Kita and anyone else that feels that haven't been here in a while~ So yeah, many thanks to you all! Yet again, I woke up a tad earlier in hopes of posting earlier, but that didn't work out! I got sidetracked with other things, like on AP and looking at some new art on theO! I tend to try and do those things before posting...but they eat up time, sorry! Ugh. I wanted to wake up even earlier because I had my stupid anxiety feeling going on. I hate that feeling...I get it quite often, especially in the morning, and it makes me feel like "Just wake up...get up already. You're wasting time just laying there." But at the same time, I'm tired so I want to sleep more! Bleh. Anxiety. -__- And I had some pretty crappy dreams, too. I had one that was disturbing and kinda scary, and then I had lots of short stupid ones. Like one where we went to this restaurant in search of that waiter kid I liked so much, and when we went there, he looked different, and he was totally acting differently...lively and dancing around and boisterous! Not like how he was at all. XD Very strange. Umm, ok, yesterday! I don't remember much of it. I can safely say that nothing really happened! Watched some anime and the baseball game (which we won~~), played some games...took orders from my brother, like usual, and not much else! I've been enjoying the anime called Sumomo mo Momo mo (yes, lots of "mo"). It's pretty funny. XD I've also been trying a ton of other shows, but I can't say that any have truly piqued my interest. I find that many new anime these days aren't "quality." The art quality is usually low, the characters aren't developed well, the storyline is cliche. I'm sure there are tons of exceptions to that, but it seems to be what I'm finding lately!! Do tell me if there's an anime you think rises above the rest~ The other day I made a new E-Card, which is my birthday gift to Steph. So take a look if you haven't, thanks. :3 I've also been trying out my tablet, now that it's in working order. I've realized that I pretty much suck at drawing now! Especially with my tablet. I have the world's shakiest hands...they're very unsteady! I can't hold up my hands without them looking like they're in an earthquake...and that tends to effect my drawing. So when I was trying to draw Mihashi from Oofuri, well, yeah...wobbly!! And I'm also trying to draw my own Pokemon for Saku-chan's contest...and wow, that's the most wobbly and shaky looking face ever! .___. I don't even know why my hands are like this. My mom says it's because of all the typing and video game playing. XD Maybe so...but I don't know! It sucks, and I suck at drawing! I used to love it, and I would draw all the time, but as I met more and more people that could draw a billion times better than me...it'd get my self-esteem down, and I basically just gave up. :/ That's almost what's happening to me with walling... Well, the other day, mom, Corey, and I went to the mall. It was for fun...just to get out of the house, and I just wanted to get away from my brother because he's been terrible lately, but no, he comes along! And he just made things horribly worse. :( Gawd, he makes me feel like crap. So in the car, driving there, my mom was on her cell phone talking to dad, and Corey was pointing in some direction; mom, thinking that he was saying to get off at this exit, turned. Well, it was an exit too early...so then we were in this neighborhood. Mom was saying how that's not where she wanted to go, and then Corey takes offense right away, defending that, "It wasn't my fault." They then start to mildly argue about something stupid, and my brother has this rude tone of voice the whole time...and then he tells HER to "Calm down." All I say then is, "She is calm." [I'm in the back seat.] And immediately he turns to me and says, "Be quiet! You always make things worse. Why can't you just stay out of things??! You always make things worse with Dave (dad), too. He's always yelling at you for that." *sigh* So of course, I simply state that all I said was one sentence! And I just wanted to help Mom since he was the one that wasn't calm, and he kept going! It's like he lives to bring me down! Well, after his saying all that crap, and my trying to defend myself, we get on the topic of driving, since that's what caused the problem. He said, "I wonder how she'd drive. Probably even worse." Well, I got in my emo mode because of him and said, "I'd probably crash and die. I'd DIE, and you wouldn't care. Who cares if I die?" *sigh* Yeah, I get like that a lot...he didn't say anything about that, just, "Yeah, it'd be easier on mom. She wouldn't have to buy you anything anymore." .___. Yeah, ok...see how immature my brother is? And he was a jerk the rest of the day, too. I didn't want to talk to him at all, so I didn't. Sorry~ I tend to complain about my brother a lot. It's not like he's the worst person in the world, but I can't help but release my frustrations here about him. I wish he were nicer...I wish he acted his age of 27!! Anyhoo, nothing else of interest to mention! I've been tagged a few times by friends, but I haven't come up with my lists of facts yet; I'll probably write those up on theO. I'm getting used to my phone, kind of...and today...I don't know what we're doing. Jeez, time flies. I can't believe it's almost half-way done with July. -__- SUCKS. Well, again, I'm lazy and barely anyone watches the amv's, so none for you~ Thankies a ton for visiting me! *hugs* Sorry if this post was rather long. I think it took longer to write up, too...O__o So if that's the case, then it might be like an essay. Sorry. I appreciate those that read it. *hugs* Thanks, sorry I'll try to comment more, and have a great weekend!

Warning: thanks, workmen, totoro, baseball, comp/wp, yesterday, & yeah

Hello. *hugs* Thank you, thank you for the comments! You're all so awesome. :3 Meg, xxHD, Rachel, Lory, and Saku-chan (and anyone else I missed), it's great seeing you back. I understand if some of you don't comment here as much; I know I hear from you sometimes on theO (whenever I post or submit art), so that's ok. *hugs* Steph, I hope that you can give me some of your rain! That would've been awesome, and I love your vision of my fireworks' description. XD Oh, and major HAPPY BIRTHDAY (a day late), too!! I totally forgot. *hugs* Anyhoo, thanks for all your comments about baseball, fireworks, my dog, and whatever else I talked about. ^^; Much appreciated. Speaking of my dog, he is currently laying on my floor near my door, whining to get out. :/ We have workmen here, and my mom's had enough of trying to keep him away, so now she's dropped on me. These past mornings we've had work guys here...well, past DAYS, really. We've been trying to get our deck built for months, but it took forever because of having to be approved! Well, they finally started building last week, so they've been here from the morning until 3 or 4pm, hammering, cutting, etc. The deck is where we're going to put our spa (jacuzzi). :D I've been waiting for that all summer...it just doesn't feel like summer to me without some sort of water source! ^^; And now this morning, we also have some AC guys here, making noise...and poor mommy had to wake up early for no reason [my dad's info on when they'd come was wrong]. Totoro has been the devil at night lately. He doesn't calm down at all, and since my dad has abandoned having him in his room, it's just been terrible. Corey, despite being his favorite, won't let Totoro be in his room. I have enough trouble as it is trying to sleep, so I refuse...so that leaves mom. She's had him in her room for a week now, and last night was the worst. He wouldn't lay down--he just kept getting up, walking around, and licking! That's what I hate. I hate it when dogs lick their paws...it disgusts and annoys me so much. When Totoro does it, I swear I feel like going crazy. ^^; Yeah. *sigh* So yeah...he's still sitting by my door whining, but I can't let him out yet! Alrighty, so what to mention? If you want a baseball update, we've lost 2 more games. -__- Last night's game was very uneventful, and we could've won, and the night before's was totally amazing...it's a shame we lost. Because of our terrible pitcher, Eaton, he got us behind 8-0 just in the 2nd inning (there's 9 total)!! 8 to 0 that soon. "Impossible...we can't come back..." then when I checked the game later, it was 10-2. Well, that still looked awfully darn impossible...but then I heard cheering later on, and we somehow caught up to 10-7!! O__o And so I watched the rest of the 9th inning, and we were one away...got some homeruns....10-9. We HAD it! To come back so far!! T__T But then...we got out, lost. *sigh* Stupid Mets. But man, it was amazing how we caught up... Ok...enough of baseball, sorry about that! Yesterday, my parents went on errands, and one of the errands was to retrieve my desktop computer from my brother who took it with him to fix. Thank you, D!! He's so amazing. He fixed it, and so I had my computer and Photoshop back in my possession. The second after I set it up, I was back on, finishing that wallpaper I started. XD Thanks to those that already commented. Here it is, if you haven't~ I also got a new cell phone! I got it the other day; it was from my grandpa. He sent it to me because he said he couldn't figure out how to use it. He also said it was my "good grades gift." It's a maroon Motorola Vcast phone. I can't use the special features that would actually make people buy it (like downloading music to it, etc.), but it's still a nice new phone. ^^; I miss my old one though...I don't like the keypad on it since it's sorta like a Razor, which is hard for me to use...I have long nails. So I was texting one of my friends yesterday, and I kept resending the same messages or wrong ones since I kept pressing "ok" without knowing it. XD I suck!! Oh well, but it was so nice of grandpa to send it to me. I wish I could use it fully! Umm...I can't remember much else that happened. I know my brother Corey was a total pain in the neck again! Him and his video games. *rolls eyes* He got on my nerves so much the other day. And I'm tired of his ridiculous ramblings. He talks as if he's a 5 year old...I don't know if he'll ever act his age (27). *sigh* Anyhoo, I don't know what's going on today...I kind of feel sick to my stomach, but it seems like I've been like that a lot lately! Sick and tired. Bah. Well, I'm too lazy to find an amv that barely anyone will watch. XD So I won't bother! Just listen to my playlist like usual. Thanks so much for visiting and commenting and everything! *hugs* You're the best friends ever. :D Now that my wallpaper is out of the way, and my computer is back, hopefully I'll be able to comment more. I shall try. Thanks for putting up with me. Take care!

Warning: thanks, school dreams, 4th, yesterday, & sorry

Hello, all!! Thanks a ton for the comments, as usual. You guys are the best. :3 *hugs* Wow, Independence Day dragged in several people that haven't visited in a long time! Lazyliz, Driffter, Anisgi (anime snow girl, you get a nickname!), and Gi-chan!! Gi-chan!! *hugs* Sorry, it's just felt like forever since I've heard from you! :D Same with any of you. Thank you very much for visiting me again. Some of you were rather mute on the whole 4th of July thing, but it was understandable since lots of you don't live in the US. Stixx, so Hawaii doesn't celebrate it much? Huh, that's interesting...i guess it makes sense. :/ Thank you tons to everyone for the encouragement with my walling! I'm glad I have fans and friends here that would like to see more from me. I hope that I can manage to make more...what with my computer! Anyhoo, arigatou again. It's a dark morning...I think it rained during the night, but I wish it'd rain more during the day for me to actually enjoy it! And yesterday, as a few of you read on my World post (not very important, don't worry), we didn't get any rain, but the baseball game had a rain delay for 4 hours because it was pouring down so much! We're just 40 minutes or so away from the city, but I guess that makes all the difference for weather! Oh well. Anyhoo, I'm tired as usual...umm...I could've slept all day. Don't you feel like not getting out of bed at all? Like "What's the point?" -__- I get like that often. That's why I stay in bed past 11. I didn't have great dreams this time though; I had school-related dreams. Those are the WORST. Partway through summer, my subconscious decides to remind me that I'll have to go back to school in a month or 2...*sigh* Looming doom! Ok, so, what to talk about? I guess I'll start talking about our Independence day weekend! Again, the holiday doesn't mean much to our family. XD We're not like some people that set off huge fireworks and go to parties and things! It was raining lightly on the 4th, so things didn't go as well as planned. We just do sparklers and little things like that, but they didn't exactly work in the rain...there was a lot of smoke. My brother got these exploding things (good description) and set them off, and they were REALLY loud!! I was so freaking scared...we didn't expect them to be so loud. Totoro was outside, and he was so scared for the rest of the night. :( Poor baby. Now he has a fear of fireworks, whether they make noise or not!! Um, that night, my brother Derek also came over to try and fix my computer. Instead, he made it temporarily worse...so that it doesn't even start up. -_- So I haven't been on my desktop for the whole weekend...no photoshop...I just wanted to finish that wallpaper, and now who knows if I ever will. Saturday was a nothing day. I don't remember it at all. Yesterday was kind of boring since again I had to make use of my time without my precious photoshop. I played Persona 3 for a while...danced (DDR), and watched baseball all day. The baseball game started at 1:30 (day game), but it ended at 9 (was a night game)...why? Because of the rain delay that they occurred. It got to the 8th inning at about 4pm, but that's when they called it...so then it was the waiting game until the rain held up so they could resume playing, at around 7. And then it went even longer because we tied and went into extra innings...unfortunately, after all that awesome excitement and waiting all day, we lost. *sigh* We (the Phillies) were against the Mets, who are our rivals, pretty much. XD Darn it! We have to win today's game! Sorry for all my baseball talk. A couple years ago, I wouldn't have paid any mind to it! But then, like i've said, we went to a game, and I started to get into it! Then after watching Oofuri, I liked it even more. Now I'm a freak. My brothers think it's the strangest thing that I like it so much now...I'm sure you all think it's crazy, too. I know a lot of you could care less about any sports at all, and you probably are all bored to death when I talk about it! So I'm sorry. Last night, we also finished off our leftover firework stuffs. We do them on the porch...and well, that's not a good idea!! All of the sparks and things have totally ruined the wood--burned holes! Corey dropped several sparklers onto the porch, and I had to get the hose and put them out. Later, he also lit a bunch of those loud cracker things at the same time...they were exploding everywhere!! And yeah, those ruined the porch even more. I had fun spraying things with the hose though... I need to order some manga...I think I'm going to from Borders online... That was a random thought. :/ I guess I don't have much else to say, that's why. Other than Corey's usual annoyances, nothing much has happened. I'm tired of his wanting to buy more and more video games, and I'm sick and tired of having to be along for the ride! I don't CARE. I appreciate that he wants my input on what to get, but I honestly don't think he needs to buy anymore. Agh!! -__- Anyhoo, this post sucks...I've run out of things to say...although I had plenty in my mind last night while trying to sleep! Stupid overactive mind. Ok, short amv...it's just the opening to this anime I watched an ep of last night--Shion no Ou. I love this song. XD Thanks so much for visiting me!! I'll try to visit you when I can; hopefully my computer will be fixed soon. *hugs* Sorry if this post was boring or whatever. ^^;; Well, take care!

Warning: thanks, 4th of July, world, yesterday, walling, & amv

Hey people! Thank you for the comments! I love all of you so much; seriously, what would I do without you? I don't think I'd be the same...anyhoo, thanks for all the encouraging comments about everything. About my paranoid night, my dog, my mom's auction, etc! Wings of Dream, welcome back! It's been SOOO long! I swear, I think you last updated like a year ago or something. O__o So thanks for coming back! *hugs* And Aya, nice seeing you again, too. :3 And Angelbest and anyone else I've missed! Yes, so Totoro is my dog...he's 8 but definitely acts like a puppy now! It's terrible that he won't sleep well anymore. Such a spoiled baby. As for my mom's purse on ebay, well, I figured out what had happened...so oh well; at least she sold it! Thanks again for the comments! Happy 4th of July! Happy Independence Day in the US. :D Yup, yup. Well, usually I don't even mention it! I remember in past years, I didn't even bother saying that in my post. XD I tend to forget! My family doesn't do all that much...and I find it hard to keep track of days during the summer, so it's like, "What? It's the 4th of July already??" So yeah. My family usually just has fun with our own little "fireworks," which would be sparklers and those little firework fountains and things like that! We can usually hear and see some big fireworks from our house though. I think last year...yes, I think it was last year when my dad, Corey, and I went to see these real fireworks at this park! It was so fun because it was raining and thunderstorming...we weren't sure if the fireworks would be canceled, but they were definitely delayed. Luckily, they still went off, despite the rain and thunder. :3 It was so cool because it was hard to tell thunder and lightening from fireworks! Hah, how dangerous but cool! Some of you might remember me talking about this last year, if we've been friends for that long. *hugs* I don't know if we're doing anything like that this time, but it's another rainy day! What a coincidence. I appreciate those that have commented on my World! I just posted quickly the other day because some things were on my mind; don't worry though, they weren't that important. I just haven't been feeling well lately, but I think overall that's no surprise. XD I also complained a bit about how Ookiku Furikabutte (my precious baseball anime) has been licensed, by Funimation, under the name "Big Windup." I'm disgusted at several things revolving around that, and one being the title! I don't care if it's the English translation of the title...it's just stupid sounding!! >< Bah, but just ignore me...no one else really cares about that except Go-san, so that's why I won't say more! Plus, several of you love Funimation. ^^; Which is fine! It's not like I hate it... Ok, so these past couple days have been pretty uneventful of course! Aside from nighttime troubles with my dog and my problem sleeping, the day time hasn't been that interesting. We still haven't gotten to go to the chiropractor. We were going to go yesterday, but we found out that he's on vacation! How inconvenient. :/ So...I'm still very achy and crappy! Because of that, and because of being lazy, we haven't done anything. I've just been doing the usual anime watching and video game playing! My brother and I have been rewatching Monster, and it's sooo awesome the second time, too. XD And I've been downloading more anime like Night Head Genesis, Mokke, and Overdrive [haven't watched it yet...but I really want to!!! Cycling!! It makes bike-riding look so exciting]. As for my computer, it's not dead yet, but it does freeze up and act strange still...Photoshop still works so I've actually been working on another wallpaper, despite my urge to "take a break." I know I should stop making wallpapers if I'm dissatisfied with them most of the time, but I just can't help it. ^^; I guess I'm addicted to walling in a masochistic kind of way! Even though it stresses me out a lot [though it's mainly AP's fault] and I worry and think about my wallpapers all the time...I still can't help but enjoy the process of graphic design. When I'm bored, I go on photoshop and just mess around! I may suck compared to others, and I feel that way every time I make a wallpaper, but I guess I still want to do it...is that fine? ^^; A friend of mine on AP sent me a PM about my opinion on walling and why I wall! She pointed out that maybe I shouldn't make wallpapers if I feel so dejected each time...and why am I making them? For myself? [no...] To be popular? To please others? What is it? I don't really know...but I kind of do...and it makes me feel bad! I'm just confused. It's stupid. I saw a lot of updates today...which concerns me! No one will have time to read my post since today's a holiday. XD But why did everyone update, too?? I don't know if i"ll be able to comment much...sorry. I've been trying harder though. *hugs* I'm sorry!!! Okies, I should end this now. Um, here's an amv with the song "Independence Day" by Martina McBride. I love this song. :D It's to Sailor Moon, and I don't think the video matches at all...but I wanted to put something up with the song because it's the 4th! Enjoy! Thank you so much for visiting me. *hugs* I'm always amazed when I see that people still comment me, even after my long and boring posts all the time! I can't believe I've kept this up for over 2 years. XD Wow. So yeah, thanks, sorry, and have a great weekend!!
