Warning: thanks, morning, obama, circus, paper, sorry, & amv

Hello, all! Thanks a ton for the comments, although fewer. It's to be expected since I haven't been commenting you guys much...at all. ^^; Sorry. But I'm thankful to those that have stuck with me still! I really appreciate it. Thank you for the comments about my scheduling; yes, it is quite a pain...at least for me. Dafeather, your scheduling and school year sounds even more confusing!! O__o Crazy. I envy you for being able to understand that. Yug, happy belated b-day! Same to Shishou, anit4e, and anyone else with a birthday in April. ^_^ Also, Yug, I live near Philly, so it'd be awesome if you went to college there. Anyhoo, thanks again for everything! *hugs* I'm not sure if it's back yet, but imageshack hasn't been working this morning. How irritating. So all of my images that I have uploaded there haven't been working. ^^;; So if you notice that my bg is white or whatever, that's why. I'll get 'em back when I can. Anyhoo, I'm here in the French computer lab. It's very warm, like usual. It's rather nice outside though, and I wish I could open the freaking window next to me, but it's horribly STUCK. Maybe it's just because I'm so weak, but I can't open it. I just had math class, and it was as usual...although I just hate what we're learning about. It's confusing me so much, even though I've learned it before...my teacher doesn't "teach" well, so it's more confusing. T__T Oh well. I'll get it sometime...but I think the final exam is in a week or something. Crap. Ok, well, I suppose I'll talk of my weekend, ne? As you may remember, I went to the circus on saturday! Well, first off, on the way there...I saw Barack Obama! Though it was from afar. We were driving through Paoli (a town) to get to where we needed to go, and there's only one road from there to our house, and it's next to the train station. It turns out that Obama was making stops at the stations throughout Pennsylvania, and wow, we were there RIGHT when he stopped at Paoli!! Apparently Hillary Clinton was also going to do the same. It was cool hearing his voice so close. We were wondering why on earth there were so many people at the train station. XD "Are they all going on the train to go to the circus??" Hah, no. We then heard Obama and saw him, too. Très cool! The Democratic primaries are tomorrow, I think...so the candidates are doing their best to impress us. After that, we were off to the circus. When we got to the arena it was in, we got very lost as to where our seats were. ^^; And, believe me, it would've been better if we had stayed lost. We should've taken some other seats. My dad spent a lot of money on these tickets because they were supposedly the "best" since they were the first row. Well, they would've been the best if we were in the other arena. [we have two right next to each other] But because of the sports going on in the one the circus was supposed to be in, we were moved to the smaller one...making our seats a lot crappier. Yes, we were first row, but it was first row at the very corner end...at the entrance of where the people/animals would come out. In front of us, we had suspension cords and metal clasps, and the behind the scenes people constantly walking about. -___- It was very dark there most of the time unless they had the spotlight shining directly in our eyes. Needless to say, it was rather hard to see anything... There wasn't much to see anyway! The circus this time was totally different from the previous ones. The people were different, and the "storyline" was terrible. They really directed it towards 3 year olds or something. It was retarded. The coolest thing was with these motorcyclists doing synchronized driving inside this huge metal cage ball. Some of you might know what that looks like. It was SO awesome. Other acts included the usual acrobats, horses, elephants (um, the one...while leaving...went poo right then and there. ^^;; The stage hand guy had to hurry up and scoop it up before the dancing girls danced right into it!), boring clowns, and tigers, which my mom and I missed. -__- We had to go to the bathroom, and of course, the women's bathroom had a HUGE line...had to wait forever!! T__T Ugh. So we probably missed the most interesting thing of the whole show! Well, I can't say much more happened. It was kind of fun, but like I said...disappointing in many ways. Umm...friday and sunday I spent most of my free time doing my English paper [it's on puppy mills]. It's due today, so I'm obviously done with it. FINALLY. I'm so glad that piece of crap is done!! Stupid paper!! I don't think it's very good, but at least I don't have to worry about it anymore. Too bad my teacher loves making more and more work for us. :( Now we have to do an oral presentation with a powerpoint ON our paper! I go wednesday. BAH!! It's done so why must we do more with it?? My friend in my class, Meagan, was texting me yesterday; we had a rather fun conversation. XD About the paper, class, and whatnot. I was finished by that time, but she was only half-way. I hope she got it done! I haven't had time to comment or make a wallpaper yet, sorry!! :( I'm so sorry. I'm almost through all this work. And in my free time, when I wasn't working on school work, I've been feeling so bleh. Like I mentioned before, feeling unreal...feeling depressed, worrying about death. I haven't had much fun these days. Sorry. *hugs* Ok, I'll end this now with an amv. It's the same one I showed a week or so ago, sorry. ^^; That Oofuri one about Abe x Mihashi...so cute...CUTE!! Alrighty, sorry if this was too long. I probably could've written more, too. ^^; Forgive me for my lack of commenting...I hope you're all doing well enough. Better than me at least! Have a wonderful day. Take care!

Warning: thanks, scheduling stress!!, yesterday, worries, sorry, & amv

Thank you, thank you! Thanks for all the wonderful comments. You're all sweet friends, and I'm happy to hear from you whenever you can get on. :3 Like Oli-chan, Koten, anit4e, Sesshy (it's been so long!), and Divinejudgement! Some of you seem to disappear at lengths, but tis ok! I don't mind. *hugs* Thanks for all the great comments about the restaurant, my dad's b-day, and whatever else I babbled on about. I don't have much time to post today so I'll keep this short. Ugh. As if I weren't stressed out enough as it is!! I just met with my advisor to organize my schedule for next semester. It's such a hassle. >.<' Because of how my schedule was this semester, it messes up things for my upcoming years! And I just HAD to go and want a minor in graphic design. *sigh* Now that adds more required classes for me. This meeting took an hour to do...and last time it only took half that or something. So there went an hour of my free time between classes to post and just relax. -__- Next year is going to SUCK. I have to take so many classes, and yet some don't "count" as credit hours because they're not academic. I freaking have to take a gym, which doesn't count towards my hours, and I have to take chemistry which involves a lab...the lab takes up about 3 hours of my day, and it doesn't count for anything!!! My school is so retarded. Because I couldn't fit in certain classes this fall semester, I'm going to have to take MORE hours in the future ones. My days are going to be filled, yet the total only comes to 15 hours because, like I said, the lab and gym don't count towards it. *dies* I have 10 minutes in between each class...there might be one day where I have more time, but bleh. So my advisor really helped me figure things out, but still...it's going to be stressful; I'm already stressed enough. I hate thinking about the future!!T__T It might not have been so bad if I didn't decide to minor in graphic design, but it's something I enjoy. Darn it. :( So next week we actually SCHEDULE these classes we planned, and then there's the possibility that they'll be all filled up...GAWD, I hope that doesn't happen...because this is the best we could do...I have no alternatives!! Ok, sorry. Enough about that confusing college schedule talk! Everything's getting to me these days: english paper (MAJORLY), homework, tests (finals in 2 weeks), this scheduling, family, and life in general. Life in general is probably one of my main concerns. Like I mentioned before, I'm frickin' worried about death all the time, and I'm always feeling surreal. I don't feel like I'm alive, yet I I'm so scared of dying. So where am I? Am I in limbo here?? Depressed limbo of eternity!! ^^; Sorry...umm...yesterday...oh, right, I played whiffle ball. I felt like I was back in elementary school. The teacher pitched...and each team had 5 people?? Something like that. We didn't play with serious rules; we didn't play with strikes so we could just keep swinging until we hit the ball. I didn't do too badly actually. At first I didn't know what I was doing though...after someone caught the ball, got a person out, and I was kind of stuck between 1st and 2nd base. I got out. When I was playing 2nd base, I found out that everyone knew I wasn't a person that could really play. ^^; They never threw it to me to get the person out, so oh well. Our team won 11 to 4 or something. After that, I had history class...just the usual. At home, the usual again. My brother and dad went fishing though. During that time, I worked on my English paper. *sigh* It's so much work. You should see my computer desk; I have my articles and papers everywhere--by the computer, under things, on the floor. It's like a murder scene or something. XD After almost 2 hours of work, I got to page 3. -__- I think I'm almost on page 4 though...we need 7-10 pages, 8 references, and it's due Monday. Currently I have 3 pages, and I think I've only referred to the same 4 sources...whatever. It'll get done, but it won't be great. I'm going to work my butt off on it tonight and Sunday, because tomorrow we're going to the circus!! :3 Third year in a row for us (my family). I love it so much. I hope that I can enjoy it and not constantly worry about things though. So due to all of this working and being busy, I haven't gotten to comment you guys much if at all. I'm really sorry. Once these tough times in school and whatnot pass, I'll do better. I thank you all for sticking with me (the ones that do)...and really putting up with my long posts. Here's an amv, an Azumanga one. It really matches well. XD Enjoy! Um, I guess I'm done ranting to you guys! Sorry no new wallpaper yet. I don't know when I'll get to one. :( Oli-chan, I don't really make many these days; it's too hard to balance that with school and other stress, but thanks. Anyhoo, thanks again for visiting. Have a great weekend!

Warning: thanks, today/yesterday, busy, & sorry

Thank you for the comments. :3 *hugs* A little less, but I'm happy to get any these days! I totally don't deserve them. ^^; I haven't been commenting you guys at all lately...I'm sorry. :( Um, but thanks again to those that commented!! Wolf of Sorrow, it's great to hear from you again; I'm glad you could finally get the comments to work on my site. ^^ Lute, it's so awesome seeing, you again, too!! To those of you that wanted to see which guys were claimed...and it didn't work, sorry! :( I didn't realize that you could only view it if you were a member. But yeah, Cloud, Chiaki, L...they're all taken anyway. ^^; I don't know about D though Stixx! Which D? Vampire Hunter or from Petshop of Horrors? Anyhoo, thank you all again for the sweet comments about everything...encouraging me...helping me, empathizing, and just everything. *hugs* So...my posting was delayed a bit because my "friend" Alison (she's in my French class) came into the French computer lab (where I am now)...and when she starts talking, she doesn't stop! I swear!! She just talks about anything, too. It took her 10 minutes to finally get to her initial point of the conversation...she started with a question but then went off onto WHY she's asking it, but then took forever to actually ask the freaking question. *rolls eyes* She's one of those "friends" where you tolerate them and are nice...and will talk with them if need be, but you don't really, um, like them all that much. ^^;; Anyhoo, yeah, I'm here in the French lab...trying to get some more hours in [of not really doing my work]. I just had math class, and it was another confusing one...and Madii didn't come AGAIN. She's probably skipped half the classes this semester. Ugh, ok, so I feel like crap still. :( And I feel guilty, too. I'm supposed to be playing whiffle ball right now...for activity week. So that's one of my gym classes...but I didn't go. I decided yesterday that I wouldn't go; I had a feeling I'd still feel like crap, and it'd be a hassle to wear my gym clothes to the rest of my classes and be all gross and stinky. XD *sigh* Yeah. We're allowed 4 absences in that class, and I've only had 1 so far. I signed up for whiffle ball tomorrow morning, too, but I'm going to that one...darn it. I'm such a bad kid, skipping gym. Hmm...oh, today's my dad's birthday! We went out to eat yesterday to celebrate it though because my brothers won't be available tonight to join in! Corey's working, and Derek is going to a concert. Um, so yesterday...I didn't have health or history class so I just slept in (kind of...), and then I had graphic design. Nothing much there; I worked on my candy wrapper design though. My candy is called "bunny tails," and they're going to be little puffs of cotton candy. :3 I drew a white bunny for the wrapper...maybe I can show you guys sometime. When I got home, watched more Yakitate Japan [soo hilarious], and then we went out to eat. Oh, but before that, my dad and Corey and I played some basketball (a game of PIG), and I WON. XD It was a 15 minute battle between my dad and I, and he was doing oddly good...but then I ended up beating him. Hah. I can't believe that. Anyhoo, dinner...we went to this place called "Harpoon Louie's." It's a place known for fish. It was a dinky little stinky and dark place...and it was filled with old people. ^^; 2/3 of which were in wheel chairs...my family looked out of place... The food was actually pretty good, but eh. The big thing is that if it's your b-day, you get a certificate for percent off your next meal equal to your age! So my dad will get 56% off. The thing is that his b-day is today, and it wasn't last night. XD So we were worrying that, "Oh no! They'll find out! TODAY isn't his birthday...I wonder if they'll allow him to get the discount..." It was quite funny. They didn't mind though. When we got back, I played some more basketball with D. He beat me once, and then I beat him. Now THAT's amazing since he plays b-ball in his spare time...all the time. Oh, and D also showed off his newest purchase. A Wii. Lucky him. This is getting long, ne? Sorry. I'll just babble on for a bit longer. I've still been worrying about everything. I'm still slightly paranoid about death happening at anytime...I'm scared to even go to school. ^^; And last night, I felt so scared...this time of ghosts or something. :( Ugh. Yes, I'm afraid of ghosts. I'm afraid of a lot of things...and I just keeping thinking and worrying non-stop. And I'm also worrying non-stop about school!!! I have to do my take home exam for history tonight (it's a 2-3 page essay), and then I definitely need to get working on my English research paper, which is due monday (7-10 pages, and I haven't started it). *sigh* Nooooo. T__T So needless to say, I'll be busy. I've been so busy and feeling bleh so that's why I haven't been commenting. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. Argh...I better go now...no amv...I've gone on for too long. ^^; Sorry! I need to eat lunch and then go to French. *sigh* I have a lot of emails to reply to...boo...just be patient! Thanks for visiting me, sorry for anything, and take care!

Warning: thanks, crap, rabid, weekend, wp, yesterday, & worries

Arigatou. Thanks for the comments, my dear friends! *hugs* Aya, Filo, and Driffter, thanks for commenting again; it's nice seeing your wonderful comments! Driffter, you're not a bad friend; you visit more often than some friends! :3 And I really don't mind! So thanks to ALL of my friends that visit me or that aren't able to--that's fine, too. We all do our best, and this site isn't our LIVES, right? So thanks. To those that asked, yes, Yakitate Japan is extremely hilariously good! Thanks for the sweet comments on my wolfie painting and your replies to all of the nonsense I babbled about. Gyabo~...I feel like such a piece of crap right now. -__- Sleep didn't go well at all last night [when does it ever???], and thanks to "that time of month"...bleh, I feel even worse! I probably could've fallen right back to sleep in math class had I felt physically fine. I'm tired...*sigh* So yeah, I just had math class...it was confusing like last time. I swear I learned this material better in high school!! How stupid. After class, I was going to go to the French computer lab to get more hours, but I followed Madii here to the library instead. I haven't seen George and Gage in over a week, so I hope they're ok. I still have that book to give him as a gift. I'm proud to say that I'm a member of the "Rabid Fangirls" group on animepaper. XD It's a place for rabid fangirls to go and CLAIM their anime guy. Only one girl per guy and only one guy per girl...so once a guy is taken, you can't have them. :( Seeing as there's over 400 members, it's slim pickings! I'm just glad that they accepted me as a member...you have to have certain qualifications. Well, seeing as most of the bishies that I like were taken...I ended up with Mihashi from Oofuri (the baseball show). :3 Hehehe. I was planning on taking him anyway. He's so freaking cute. XD Since Oofuri is so unknown, no one had anyone from it taken. It was between him or Morita from Honey & Clover....tough decision. Here's the list of "claimed bishies" on the site if you wanna look. This weekend was rather bleh for me. Even though it was so very warm and summer-like outside [it's back to being cold today though], I felt cold and depressed. I didn't do anything all weekend...stayed home...bleh. I've been thinking morbid thoughts lately, too. -__- Like, "We just go through our daily lives, not thinking anything is strange, not thinking anything will happen...but you never know! A bomb could be dropped, a natural disaster could hit, a murderer could break in...then you'll be dead." You'll just die, and you'll never expect it...and never know. I've been worrying about death...fearing it like it could come everyday. *sigh* I shouldn't be doing that...I worry about death, yet I don't even feel like I'm alive right now! Ugh. On that note, here's my L wallpaper...lots of you already commented on it, so thank you very much. If you didn't, feel free to. I felt really depressed over this wallpaper, too...because I worked so hard on it, yet I got really crappy comments on AP about it. Umm...yesterday...well, like I said, I didn't do anything this weekend. I played the piano off and on. Maybe sometime I'll take a picture of it. It's a grand piano, just a little bit smaller (concert hall size ones are HUGE). I've been playing old songs because those are all I know. I keep printing out new ones that I want to try [all anime/video game], but then I find them to be too hard. I just give up. Bleh. Aside from that, I didn't do anything. This week is the last "activity week", which means two gym classes...I don't want to go to them, AT ALL. I might just skip them since I'm allowed 4 absences, and I only have 1 so far. This wednesday is my dad's birthday, but we're going out to eat tomorrow...tomorrow I don't have health class or history, so I can sleep in and just go in later for graphic design (that's a good thing at least). I have so many things to remember to do! Tonight, for tomorrow's GD class, I have to sketch ideas for our candy wrapper project (design a candy wrapper). History take-home exam (basically just an essay) is due thursday; gym on wednesday and thursday, saturday we're going to the circus, and next monday my English research paper is DUE. T__T That means I really need to get working on that. *sigh* Nooo...7-10 pages, noooo. I hate school!!! I hate a lot of things these days. I don't hate you guys though. *hugs* Here's a Nodame amv. Sorry this post is getting really long!! I better let you all go now. :( I feel like crap...I don't want to go to my classes!! T__T Oh well. You gotta do what you gotta do. Thanks for visiting me; have a good couple of days!

Warning: thanks, warm/morning, caption battle, english, yesterday/piano, art, & sorry

Thank you all so much for the comments!! You're all totally awesome. anime snow girl, Yug, Emmah, Kytes, hihi, Driffter, and Koten, thank you for commenting again. :3 It's been a month for some of you! It's wonderful seeing you again!! ^_^ No need to say sorry; Koten, I hope you feel better soon. Skomie, I'm so glad you liked the AMV! Same with whoever else watched it (not many)! I really love that one; whether you like Avril Lavigne's songs or shonen-ai or not, that's not the point! The point is that it's well-made and freaking adorable. AbeMiha forever! I really appreciate all of you that took the time to cheer me up about how I look...although you still don't know what I LOOK like exactly (some do though). ^^; And I enjoyed all of your comments referring to the "ass kissers" in my history class. -__- Most of you feel the same way as me. Well, arigatou again! Warrrrmmmm. It's been really warm the past couple of days! It's quite amazing. Today it's even warmer...reminds me more of summer than spring. And it's definitely mid-summer in this frickin' French computer lab. As I complained before...it's like a sauna in here. At least this time I have short-sleeves and not a scarf! Yes, so I'm in here instead of the library so I can rack up those hours. Surprisingly, the semester is over in just a few weeks!! And I need 4 more hours. Counting today's, I guess I'll be able to just go once a week from now on...whatever! Anyhoo, I had math this morning, and we were hit with a rather confusing lecture. Most are easy for me since I learned all of this already years ago, but this one...was just confusing. I think I learned it a different way in high school, which was much easier, but now I'm stuck with this teacher that doesn't teach...and this is totally different than I remember. How stupid. Do any of you participate in the caption battles on theO? I usually don't, but sometimes I try...I did this time; it's not like I'll win. XD It's just my luck though that the one time I thought I had something really witty, they didn't announce a winner! That happened the week before the complete switch to VV so the "data was lost"...there was no winner for that one, although I thought mine was actually good. Oh well. It doesn't matter. I might submit some Oofuri screenshots for them to use sometime though. Hehe. I can think of a lot of things that can be said. Ummm...let's see...was there anything to talk about from wednesday? Because of the days I post, I never talk about those classes. French...English...oh yeah! In English we played a "Jeopardy" game with logical fallacies (if you don't know what they are, they're like contradictions in what people say--oversimplification, stereotyping, etc.). We had groups, and let's just say two of the girls on our team were REALLY into this game. Like it was a life or death situation. I got my question wrong, and they looked at me like, "COME ON! How could you not get that??? Good job on making us lose." *rolls eyes* Right...my friend I sit next to went next, and she's been absent so she's never seen this stuff before...she got hers wrong, and again, the girls were on her case. So my friend and I made a chart of the people in the class we don't like. XD Quite amusing. I haven't had someone to talk to like that in a long time! It feels like elementary school; childish but amusing. Well, our team lost anyway...but it didn't matter to me! Know why? Because, ok, the winning team all got "prizes" (school supplies, food), but there were extras left over. I waited for everyone to leave the classroom, and then I asked my teacher, "What are you going to do with all of these leftover prizes?" Hah. So she let me have them. In the end, I got more prizes than the winners. Yesterday I had health class and history. They both seemed tortuously long. Taking notes the whole time...bleh. Those suck-up girls in history class tried to squeeze some more extra credit out of my teacher; I hope he didn't give in. The exciting part of the day came at home! The piano!! Yes, the GRAND piano we bought was delivered yesterday. :3 I haven't played the piano in 2 years or so...so it was a struggle to play again. I had to remember what notes were what keys. ^^; I still suck, but on some songs I'm just as good as I used to be [which is mediocre!]. I never played the piano so much in one day though. I knew my dad would pressure me to do so. He was getting mad that I wasn't playing it ALL DAY. I played for a half-hour at least, then I took a break. My dad came up and was angry that I wasn't playing; he told mom that. *sigh* I can't play 24/7! Later I played for more time...and then after dinner I played more, too. It's kinda fun...I just get exhausted after a while; I reach my breaking point and mess up constantly. It becomes a pain...especially when you have someone breathing down your neck the whole time. PLAY MORE. Why aren't you playing? And that's why I was reluctant to get a piano again. The other day I submitted an old painting of mine, of a wolf puppy. Most of you have already seen it and commented (thank you!!!), but if you haven't yet, here it is: Is this post getting too long? Possibly so. Hmm...nothing else really happened yesterday. The anime I'm watching now are Yakitate Japan (very funny; I love it) and Angel Heart (sequel to City Hunter; pretty good so far, but you can't beat the original). AMV...hmm...no, sorry. I'm too lazy to find one. Just watch my previous ones if you haven't. :3 Alrighty, I'll end this here. Thank you ever-so much for visiting me. I visit when and who I can, so I'm sorry if I don't get to you. If I haven't commented your site in a while, just remind me in your comment! I'll make sure to get to you. Sorry again. *hugs* Have a good weekend!

Warning: thanks, morning, looks, yesterday, boring, & amv

Aww, thankies for the comments, guys! I love you all. :3 Lots of people visited that haven't in a long time! And those people would be *drum roll* Lys, Krusty, Skomie, Kita, Aitenten! And more people, too? Possibly. If I didn't mention you, then I'm sorry! But welcome back. *hugs* Thanks so much for not forgetting about me. XD No need to apologize at all either. I don't mind; I just miss you! Thanks for the comments on my wallpaper; I really appreciate them...I just seem to have super low self-confidence about the things I do these days. :( Aya, I think you'd probably like Oofuri! I'm putting in another amv of it today, too. Hmm...it seems that most of you, except for Stixx (you have the opposite problem!) have experienced the "cold outside, but school's freaking burning up inside" temperature...difference...annoyance. ^^; It sucks. Umm, well, thank you all again for everything! Soo...today is a rather normal day so far. I just had math class, and now I'm in the library. I couldn't find George again so I hope he's ok. I'm supposed to sign up for activity week for next week...but I forgot to do that before coming here. I tried to sign up yesterday, but there was a class in the room with the sign-up sheets, and I didn't want to disturb them. Well, I still have a few days to do it. I guess I'll just try to find a time that'll work for me...for pickleball again. Anyhoo, Madii wasn't in math class today; she really doesn't have any motivation! It's a shame! Although it's not like she's the only one--in all of my classes there are people that don't come to class often. Sure, it's college, but still... Ugh. I wish all mirrors were banned! I can't stand looking at myself in them. T__T Hideous. The other day I put on this pimple medicine...you know, the cream stuff that's supposed to GET RID OF pimples? Well, it irritated my face more! So now I have more vibrant red dots all over the place. BLAAHHHHHH. -___-; And my hair...something needs to be done with it...it's so plain...it's just long, wavy, light brown hair. I put it in a ponytail everyday; I don't have time for anything else. No wonder no one likes me...well, no, it's not like NO ONE likes me, but you know. *sighhhhh* I don't usually care about how I look...I don't wear make-up or anything either, and I don't want to, but I just feel like I'm so bleh looking. Alright, off of the self-deprication for a moment...I'll just talk about yesterday. I had a test in health class; I guessed on several questions, and I was the last one to be done. I hope I did ok. In history class, we took notes and then "discussed" the book we had to read, Albert Camus's "The Fall." It's a very annoying book to read...at least at first. There are some interesting parts here and there, but it wasn't great. So like I said, we had to "discuss" it, but like with the last book...I was the ONLY one saying anything or answering his questions!! Doesn't anyone do any work in my classes??? It's not right because my teacher is so nice and fun and lively, and yet the students don't contribute anything at all. And then there are these girls...they're always trying to butter up my teacher so he'll give them extra credit or something. This thursday we have a paper due on one of the books we read; we've known about it since the BEGINNING of the year. And what do these girls ask? "Um, I'm like so busy...and I don't know if I can get it done. Can't we have it due the class after that?" Well, my teacher is so easy-going that he said he'd think about it...and although he couldn't let it be due next class, he still gave them two extra days. It's not fair! It's not fair to those that have it done ahead of time or ON time. I finished that early, already handed it in, and I got it back yesterday, too; I got an A. :3 Anyhoo, after history I had graphic design. It was a long and boring class...full of tutorials that I totally didn't need. -__- Umm...then I went home. At home, watched some anime, and then did homework. That homework included that wretched sentence outline for English. I've been putting it off and worrying about it and complaining about it constantly...so then it was time to actually do it. And guess what? It actually wasn't that bad! Imagine that. That's how I am...I worry and worry about things I have to do in the future, but then they're usually not as bad when I'm actually doing them. This post seems really boring, ne? Sorry. Umm...I'm trying to think of something interesting to mention, but I don't think I can! The piano will be delivered tomorrow...yes, I play, but I haven't in years...and I don't think I can record me playing. ^^; I'd definitely mess up too much. I have an idea for my next wallpaper; it will be an Ookiku Furikabutte (Oofuri) one because I just love it too much. I got the inspiration from this amv. It focuses on Abe and Mihashi's (the blond) relationship. The anime isn't supposed to be shonen-ai/yaoi, but there's definitely something between them. XD So this amv shows that! It's with Avril Lavigne's "Things I'll never say." I love that song; sorry if you don't like her...but this vid matches so well!!! Thank you for reading my boring post!! I love you guys for still visiting me. I haven't visited anyone over the past few days, and I'm really sorry!! I'll get to some today though; I've just been so busy lately. :( *hugs* Thanks again, and take care!

Warning: thanks, morning, theme, saturday, yesterday/wp, today & amv

Thankies, thankies. Thanks for the comments, you guys! ^_^ You're all wonderful! And thanks to the few that commented on my VV on saturday as well. If you didn't read it, that's fine...I'll just sum up what happened here, too. I finished my wallpaper/vector so I'll show you guys it in this post, too. Let's see...about voting and all, well, first I need to register to vote. ^^;; I'm kinda slow on that...and as for WHO I'm voting for, well, probably Obama. I just generally don't like Hillary (though I think it'd be awesome to have a female president), but I don't want to vote Republican either. So yeah. Hmm...I really don't know what else to reply to here! I'll probably end up mentioning things as I go along, so I'll end this here. Thank you all again. *hugs* Jeez, it's so hot in this room!! I'm in the stupid French computer lab, and it's always like 100 degrees in here. It's freezing outside but burning in here. Apparently there's no air circulation, and they have the heaters on full blast. It's even intolerable with some windows open. -__-'' Oh well...I must bare with it to survive. Before this I had math class, and we're doing easier review things so yay. But after class, I thought I was going to take a walk with George and Gage again like last monday...so I went to the library, looked around, went up and down...trying to find him, but I couldn't. :( I'm just hoping that he didn't come later, and I missed him. I also brought a book to give to him for his belated 57th b-day gift. Hopefully I'll see him on wednesday then. As you can see, for those who haven't been here in a while (Oli-chan), my site is a bit gloomy looking! Hah, yes, it is DARK. Despite it being spring in the northern hemisphere, I go against it! I don't have a flowery bright site. ^^; And I just changed my avatar...I know, it's not Misuzu. :( Sorry to those that will miss her on my avi! It's L now. My friend on animepaper made a whole bunch of awesome L avatars, and I just had to use one!! Poor...sad...L. I'm kind of on an emo L binge. XD I changed my avi to another one she made on AP as well. So yes, gloomy, emo, whatever. It fits my mood that has been about quite often lately...unfortunately. :( Don't worry about Misuzu (Air) though, she'll always be my theme. :3 If you didn't read my post on VV, which is totally fine, I'll just mention what happened on saturday here! My parents and I went to West Chester (a 30 min. drive from where I live) to go to this music store to look at pianos! Because, yes, though it's been a while...I play the piano (not very well). I haven't played in over a year because of when we moved we couldn't bring our piano with us. Anyhoo, we were looking at grand pianos...and they're freaking beautiful!! T__T I was amazed. Well...they had a good deal on one...and somehow, my dad encountered a bout with generosity! He bought it. *__* I'm going to have a GRAND piano! Though it's just shy of being a baby grand (it's smaller than a standard one). It will be delivered this week...thursday, I think. Wow. I'm psyched about it! I just hope that I remember how to play. Also on saturday, we had a brush with a minor celebrity. XD Bam Margera. If you don't know who that is, well, just wiki him. Umm...so yesterday, after working on my vector and wallpaper all day (well, all early afternoon), my parents and I went to visit Corey at his work. Yeah, he's the milk/dairy guy at Sam's Club (warehouse store). So his job is to switch milk carts when they're out, get rid of empty boxes...yes, exciting stuff. At least it's a job though. For my brother, that's a major accomplishment. After that, we went home...I did nothing basically. I mainly wallowed away in low self-confidence over my wallpaper and whatnot. *sigh* I shouldn't, but I do. And I was going to work on my English paper (since the sentence outline is due wednesday...NOOOOO.), but I didn't. I just stared at a blank Word doc...Ehh. I never feel like doing work anymore these days. I always feel like I'm just wasting my time with whatever I do, too...bah...sorry, here's my wallpaper. Thank you so very much to those that like it and have commented already. So...today I have French and English. I have a test in French, and I couldn't study for it. So I'm doing some exercises on the website. Why couldn't I study? Because I lent a classmate my book the other day...and I never got it back. :( She was supposed to give it to me in English class, but since our English class was so short, I didn't see her! She didn't come! And I don't live in the dorms like her, so I couldn't see her any day other than my class days. Boo. Hopefully I'll do ok. I don't usually study anyway. Umm...I guess that's all I have to say for today. I'll try to visit you guys, but again, I keep getting into this lazy mood...sorry...or I have homework to do. -__- Here's an Oofuri amv. I haven't even watched it so I don't know if it's good or not. XD It's with the opening song. My school hates youtube so it's not loading! Enjoy. Alright, this took a while to post! Was it really long? Maybe. Sorry. *hugs* Thanks so much for visiting me!! Take care everyone!

Warning: thanks, video games, day off, yesterday/vector, sorry, & politics

Wow, thank you all so much for the comments!! I can't believe I got so many this time. ^^; I honestly didn't think I would...and didn't think they'd match the length of my post either. XD I really appreciate all of the time and effort you guys put into being my friend. Doesn't it take a lot??? ^^; And wow, I got a ton of comments from people that have been MIA for a LONG time! Some longer than others, but still: soubi.risa, Shi-chan, Joselyn, midnight-chan, and SSR!! That's a lot! And it's so nice seeing you guys again. :3 *hugs hugs* And no need to apologize; I don't mind. I haven't been getting to comment much lately either. Anytime you feel like commenting is ok with me! Thanks to everyone for the encouragement about my paper (though I'm still quite worried). Aya, I'm glad you thought that was humorous (about adding "bi" in there nonchalantly). XD It's true though! Um, and there are other things to reply to...but I guess I'll go PM with 'em, though I'll probably forget. Thanks again! *hugs* Many of you agreed that FF songs (and other piano songs) are the best. XD If any of you are interested in downloading songs from video games and other anime, I've had that banner in my profile for the longest time...just click "Galbadia Hotel". *points up* It's the best site for downloading anime/game soundtracks. So yeah, just click the banner. :3 Speaking of Final Fantasy, I'm just loving Crisis Core! I'm so glad that my selfish brother had a sudden change of heart and let me have it. There aren't many games that I actually WANT to play consistently. Since my brother has an obsession with buying video games and owning everything, we have a TON of games...for all systems. He doesn't play them all so, yes, he lets me play them...but it's not like I want to. So I have a pile of unfinished video games...it's quite the pile, too. The only games I've liked enough to finish are the Ace Attorney series (DS), Kingdom Hearts 2, Disaster Report (corniest game ever; it's hilarious), Onimusha 1 & 2, and Gitaroo Man. I'm working on Crisis Core though. I've played many a game in my lifetime, yet I never seem to finish them... Anyhoo, I wasn't expecting to write so much just on video games! Sorry about that. Now then, I'm posting a bit later...because...I DON'T HAVE CLASSES TODAY. ^_^ Yeah, that's right. I have today off. Why? Because of the Catholics. XD My university is a Catholic one (though I'm not), and apparently there's going to be some big Catholic archdioceses meeting or something at my college. It's awesome that they decided to choose my college for it. So yeah, because of that, there's no classes. ^^ Something even more amazing happened at my friend's college, West Chester. Barack Obama (presidential candidate) and Chelsea Clinton (other candidate's daughter) visited there and made some speech or something. My friend went, and she sat fairly close to the stage! So she saw Obama live and in-person. They were able to ask questions, too, and her question was taken and also quoted in the newspaper. Wow. ^^ She's famous now. XD Yup...so I'm off today. I haven't done anything but eat breakfast so far, and it's almost 1:30pm. ^^; Everyone was gone when I woke up, but then mom and dad came back. Mom had another dentist appointment. :( Poor thing. So much work done on her teeth...but it's almost done. One more visit, and then she'll have the permanent fake teeth put in. If you don't know what's been happening with her, that's fine...but it'd be too long a story to retell. Umm, I guess I'll talk about my previous days! I wanted to mention that on Wednesday, I had my shortest English class ever. My teacher was sick; she had NO voice. So the whole class lasted about 5 minutes, and it was done by powerpoint. "I can't talk. I'm sick. I bet you're all happy about that. Just hand in your papers..etc." Crazy. Yesterday...health and history. Nothing special there. Just notes and a test review. At home, my brother was gone so I was able to have time to myself. I mainly worked on my new vector for my wallpaper. Again, if you don't know what one is, it's basically taking an image and then re-drawing it. Tracing over everything and recoloring all by using the pen tool (in photoshop/illustrator). THIS is the scan I'm using (vectoring). It's of Akari from the anime Chance Pop (or Triangle) Session. It's a very good one...pretty unknown, too. ^^; Here's how my vector is coming along. I only have the outlines done so far... I guess I'm not going to be doing much else today either. My brother is at work...my dad's working (he has his own business; works from home!), mom is resting...dog is resting. I'll try to do some visiting. I'm sorry again that I don't get to you guys as often as I should. :( I also have several PM's and emails to reply to...*sigh* I'm not good at replying to things promptly. It usually takes me several days to get back to them...I just push them to the side. Sorry. Hmm...I guess I don't have anything else to talk about! No amv today, sorry! But here's the video of Obama's appearance at my friend's university. She said you can see the back of her head at some point...I am yet to find her...this is long, and I doubt any of you will watch it, but eh. Well, thank you all as usual for being such sweet friends. *hugs* I love you guys. I hope you didn't mind this post too much...I'll do my best to try and visit you all as well. Take care, and have a good weekend! [Oh! I just realized that this weekend, tomorrow, my parents and I are going out to look for a piano for me...wow...]

Warning: thanks, music/theme, math, yesterday, boo, & amv

Thank you all!! *hugs hugs hugs hugs* It's so great to still get wonderful comments from people here on MyO. So nice to know that everyone hasn't abandoned me. :3 Thanks! I got several long comments, and they were great to read! It's amazing to me when people actually LIKE commenting on my long posts. XD So thanks again. Hanyuu-dear, the self-proclaimed grammar nazi, I found a mistake in your comment! Haha! Now we're even. "That is sad though, being almost 60 and not having very many people to celebrate his brother with, you should get him something." Yeah, I don't think many people would celebrate his brother anyway. XD Anyhoo! I appreciate all the sweet comments about me and about George and Gage. Gage is such a good dog. ^^ And about Crisis Core, well, I'll mention it later...yes, smexy guys galore; I never thought I'd be able to play it, but I finally got the PSP...just in time. So yeah, thank you all for the comments on my wallpaper, too. *hugs* You're all awesome! [Everyone please wish my dear friend, Kaisap112 a happy birthday! She's a wonderful friend, and she really needs some love, ok? Thank you. Happy b-day, Kaisa!!] I need to add more songs to my playlist--Final Fantasy ones. I have the Advent Children piano songs on my mp3 player...and I keep meaning to upload them and put them on my IMEEM. I'm listening to them now, but what I find funny is that my player is on shuffle! It's on shuffle, yet 3 out of the 4 songs I've listened to were those FF songs! Crazy. Anyhoo, I'm glad you like my new theme. I rather like it as well. I used to hate the color brown, but now I love it! I love using it in wallpapers. XD Hmm...I just realized that I should've gone to the French lab today because I'm running out of time, I need more work hours in there. Oh well. I'm in the library now. I just had math, and before that I saw Madii leaving her previous class. I asked, "So are you going to math now? Or doing something first?" Well, she hesitated, looked around, and then groaned, "Ehhhh...nah. I'm just going home." Ok then. XD She needs more motivation to go to class! In math, we got back our tests from monday...*sigh* Well, I didn't do BAD, but I didn't do great either. Being the perfectionist that I am, I was upset with my 86%. B's just aren't my thing! I guess I don't really care...but I better end up with an A in the class. Just as I suspected, I got the question wrong that I knew I would since I got all of those type of problem wrong on the assignment packet. I just totally didn't get how to do that problem. I might now...but it's too late since the test is overwith. Oh well. I did a lot better than most of the people in the class; after we got them back and went over the answers, our teacher asked us how she could help us do better. Some of you might remember this teacher from last semester--she's the one that doesn't really teach. Everything is straight from the book. We gave her some suggestions...but who knows what'll help. She should think something's wrong when the majority of her students get 70/125 or less. Alrighty, um, yesterday...I had health, history, and graphic design! We watched a video in health about this college girl in Colorado that died from alcohol poisoning (she drank too much). After it, my teacher asked us what we thought about it and if it's true that kids these days still binge drink like that...um, the obvious answer is YES, and that's because everyone was silent! No one wanted to say a thing about the video. They all know they're guilty. I'm not though. I'm totally clean in ever way. :3 No alcohol, drugs, smoking, sex...I'm as straight-edge as you'll ever get, except that I'm bi...yes, if you didn't know that, you do now. Anyhoo, then I ate my lunch...alone...then had history. It was another note-taking class, but my teacher somehow makes it entertaining. He's just so funny. XD In graphic design, we just worked on this collage project in Photoshop. I'm basically done mine. Nothing else interesting... It was a normal day at home, as usual. Finished watching Oofuri though. :( I'm sad. I'll miss seeing Mihashi and his adorable fidgety self. It was too short of a series. A sports series like that could go on forever! Stopping at 26 (though #26 is an extra anyway) isn't enough. They only played 2 games, and one was a practice game! Argh. Anyhoo, my brother was...ok. But the day before; guess what??? He had a change of heart about the game (Crisis Core)...he let me have it. ^__^ I guess the guilt finally got to him and also the realization that he'd probably never play it anyway. So he was nice for once. I wish he always was, but oh well! Back to yesterday, it was April Fool's day! I never do anything about that (I hate lying and tricking people ^^;), and usually no one does anything to me. My oldest brother Derek tried something though; he said that he broke up with his girlfriend Susan. I BOUGHT that for a while...I totally was believing him! "WHY would you do that? How? Why??" But then, I knew something was up when he said, "I found a new girlfriend." Yeah, no way that'd happen (especially not so soon). Most of last night was spent being totally frustrated with my English paper. We have a synthesis due today, and I had no clue what I was doing for it...it's probably the worst paper I ever wrote. [and there's still the BIG paper to do...due the 21st] I was in a bad mood all day, too, mainly because it was leading up to working on that...then again, I'm always in a "bad" mood these days. I'm trying to be happier, but it's so darn hard. At least I'm not writing a down and bleh post today, right? I'm trying to be more chipper about things. :3 Though I still have to apologize for my lack of commenting. I'm so amazed that I still have friends visiting me. ^^; Though a lot seemed to have left...or at least given up on me! Sorry! And this post is getting rather long. I even deleted a whole pointless paragraph. I'll just go find an amv now. No new wallpaper yet, but I have an idea of what I want to do...unfortunately it might be a vector. -__-; And that always takes a lot of time and work. Boo. Alright, so here's a random amv... I wonder what you guys will comment on today?? I honestly don't know because it seems like I didn't write anything interesting! I wrote a lot, but I don't know what there is that's particulary important. ^^; Sorry for wasting your time. *hugs* But thank you for sticking with me. Take care.

Warning: thanks, a walk in the rain, new theme, stress, yesterday/wp, & sorry

Arigatou, arigatou! Thanks for the comments, everyone. My sweet friends that are still with me. XD And I got comments from new friends as well! Awesome. Welcome Kytes and Miss Mustang! If I remember...though I don't think I will, I should put up the list of friends that are still updating/commenting on MyO, too! Anyhoo, thanks for the dear comments about how I'm feeling...about my worries and whatnot. Also, thanks for the comments about George and Gage, my slightly different friends. ^^ I'll talk about them in a little bit, too. Major thanks to those that commented on my VV Post. I was really feeling down in that one...then again, when aren't I these days? ^^; Sorry. Um, thank you all again! Let's see...I guess I'll ust start out with this morning! If you remember, I said last week that I promised George (the handicapped older man at my school) that I would walk his guide dog Gage today! Well, today is an incredibly dreary day. It's cold and rainy. I was thinking, "There's no way that I'll walk with him today. I mean, I want to, but he'll probably cancel it because of the weather. Should I still wait outside the library like we said?" So I walked around a bit after math since I was early [by the way, I had my math test this morning...I hope I did ok, but I sure got stuck on some...boo], and then I decided to go wait outside the library! I got lucky because only a few minutes later, George came out. :3 He asked if I wanted to walk Gage another day because of the weather, but...I couldn't refuse. ^^; I mean, I promised! And he said he didn't mind the rain if I didn't! So we started walking around out in the cold rain. I thought I was just going to walk Gage alone while he went off somewhere, but of course not. :3 Really, I'm pretty sure that George just wanted someone to talk to and spend time with. Like I said before, he doesn't have many friends or people talking to him simply because he has a disability. He even said that he was looking forward to talking with me today. Again, reminder, he's almost 60 years old, not a love interest. Anyhoo, we walked around campus and just talked about things for about a half-hour. We let Gage run around, and I gave him treats. He's such a well-behaved dog!!! I mean, he has to be to be a guide-dog, but come on. It's amazing. *__* I wish my dog were like that. *sigh* George said that his 57th birthday was last week! He said he didn't have many people to spend time with, and that made me sad. I should get him a gift; I think I will. Now then, on to other things. Now I'm in the French computer lab, and it's burning hot! It felt good after being soaked and freezing from outside though. XD My hair is currently extremely curly, which is always is after being wet. I'm getting used to my new glasses, which is good, though they're still somewhat annoying in some ways. Oh well. Oh! You all noticed that I have a new theme now. :3 I changed it last night; I wanted to use my most recent Misuzu wallpaper so that's why the info is back on the default side instead of the right, and now it's darker...tans and black. Nice. I added some new Angela Aki songs to my playlist, and it's amazing that when I was searching for "angela aki" on imeem, my playlist was the first thing to come up! ^^ Anyhoo, so you'll probably know the songs are new when you hear them. Things have been rather tough on me lately! At least I think so. ^^; Everything seems to be weighing down on me more--school, family, friends, just life in general. I'm getting more stressed out about things that I usually wouldn't. If you didn't read my post on VV, I'll just quickly mention that my brother has been giving me many problems lately. *sigh* He's horrible. He needs help. Umm...some problems stemmed from getting the new FF7 Crisis Core for PSP. I'm going to skip all of the crap he gave me about playing it and just say that I love playing it. It's a very fun game, and it's chock full of smexy guys (of course!! Ah, Sephiroth...). Yesterday I felt like I did homework for most of the day. -__- I decided to work on my history paper that's due next week. I did that because it's easiest of what I need to do...so even though it's due further from my English work, I feel somewhat accomplished because it's done. Now I still have everything to do with my English research paper to worry about. *sigh* That history paper is probably the worst thing I ever wrote though...I couldn't think straight at all yesterday. I can't think straight ever anymore. -__- Other than that, I studied for math and played Crisis Core [I have to play it "in secret" while my brother's at work so he doesn't get so pissed off at me]. The other day I made and submitted a wallpaper. I hated it...called it a piece of crap, but I'm starting to like it a bit more at a time. *sigh* I just have terribly low self-esteem about everything these days...especially my wallpapers. So here it is. Thanks to those that already checked it out! This post is getting long, isn't it? Sorry. And sorry I'm so terrible at commenting these days. I can't seem to find time for it...rather, I end up wasting my time doing nothing or just thinking about things I should do. With the time I spent worrying about certain things, I could've finished them. Ugh. I've felt like crying for the past few days, but I have yet to release those feelings...bah...pathetic. Um...sorry. I'll stop now. ^^;; No amv because I'm too lazy. I hope this post wasn't too torturous on you! Thanks for visiting me, dears! *hugs* Take care!
