   Rain
Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day....
Walk...in the rain...in the rain...in the rain...
I'm singin' in the rain. Just singin' in the rain. What a glorious feeling. I'm happy again.
It's raining. It's pouring. The old man is snoring. He bumped his head and went to bed and couldn't get up in the morning...

Can you guess the weather here right now? ^_^

Well, I stayed up past 3 a.m. last night trying to pack more of my crap. *shakes head* I have so much of it. On top of all that, I'm packrat. So I have tons of pointless stuff that I feel guilty about throwing away. *shakes head* I mean, I've thrown a lot away, but there's still a lot that I don't feel right getting rid of. There's that part of me that says, "I may need this someday." Then again, the 'someday' I might need it, I won't be able to find it!!! *sighs*
On to business....

DNAngel Fan Club Update
Ok, I've talked to Nami-chan (my co-founder). We've decided that there's a reason that it's a DNAngel fan club. You are required to have actually seen or read at least part of the series. If you have and don't want to hold the title of a DNAngel character, then you can be a regular member. Which means, I have to revoke titles as bishies from other animes. Sorry! *sniff*
Any other questions? PM either me or Nami-chan.

Well, I have sites to visit, so I'll be back later with more updates and, hopefully soon, and new site theme... ^_~
~Hiwatari-kun~

EDIT: a few more characters...


Krad


Mio-chan (now animegirl67)


Towa-chan


Kosuke Niwa

   Why am I always tired?!?!
Well...It's a Sunday...and I'm at work...that's not supposed to happen...*sniff*
Apparently, Paula just had to have me here. I don't know why b/c the office isn't even supposed to be open on Sundays. Also don't know why (since she's at a "lesson") she didn't know to tell me about it before last night. *shakes head* I went to my cousin's wedding yesterday (we got home sometime after midnight) and I went to 8:30am Mass, so, essentially, I'm bushed.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
The wedding was nice. Jill looked beautiful (of course). I think there were a few too many groomsmen and brides maids for the tiny church, but whatever. *shrugs* I found out (after the ceremony) that all the groomsmen were wearing black jeans and boots with their tux tops... Does that tell you anything about the caliber of the wedding? *rolls eyes* I don't have a problem with my family, but the decorations at the reception? I mean...the table decorations were barbed wire hearts...*shake head* The dance was about 90% country music. At some point, we convinced my cousin, Rylan (who was DJing), to play a bit of non-country. (We couldn't play any rock or rap which might have some language in it, but they could play "Red Neck Woman" where everyone screams "Hell Yeah!") *shakes head* The punch was, as my favorite cousin Annie said, "oober good." ^_~ Unfortunately, I think I've gotten a little deyhdrated from having so much of it (and dancing). *shrugs* On the whole, it was a good day. ^_^
Let's see, what else has happened since I last posted...
Oh yeah, we went to Ann's house Friday night and watched The Man Who Knew Too Little. lol That's one hilarious movie! ^_^ I'm a big Bill Murray fan. ^_^
"Who you do work for?"
"Blockbuster video. Des Moines, Iowa."
"WHO YOU DO WORK FOR?!?"
"Blockbuster video! Des Moines, Iowa!"
"They train him good!"
^_^ Sorry. That probably made no sense at all to anyone who hasn't seen the movie. ^_^
Anyway, I'm gonna go for now...I need to eat something (I haven't had lunch at it's after 1pm.) and drink some water. ^_^
Happy days! ^_^
~art~
oh yeah, again, I don't know when I'll be back. It may be as late as next week.

   I should be sleeping... zzzzzzzzzzzzz....
But I'm not! ^_^ Not yet at least...*head nods*
What?! What?!?! I'm awake!!! ^_^ I don't know why, but I'm oddly reminded of Hogarth in The Iron Giant when he starts drinking espresso... ^_^ Yes, I watch kids movies...that's about all we have in this house... *sniff*
Anyway...it's been a long day today. I spent the night at Nami's last night, and we watched lots of Nadiesco! ^_^ "let's make the rent payment." ^_~ (Don't ask.) We also saw a bit of the meteor shower, which was pretty cool (except for the excessive mosquito bites and the cold.) So, I was already tired when Mom and I went out to get my computer... I got an HP at Office Depot. With the warrenty, the jump drive, and the powerstrip, it was $914. Well, I didn't quite have that much...*blushes* So Mom paid for $100 of it. *hugs Mom* (I get paid on Monday anyway.) Hopefully, the Mail-in-Rebates will work out properly. I'm supposed to get $200 in rebates. *shrugs* We also got my microwave, area rugs, Brita water filter, and various other odds and ends. (My roomie is brining the fridge and the phone.) *sighs* I hate shopping... *shakes head*
And, since things are gonna be really crazy, I may not get to post again for a week or two... *sniff* So, don't forget about me! *sniff*
^_~

Responses to Tuesday's question:
Here are some authors who ppl mentioned who I didn't know:
Amy Tan, Glen Cook, Ray Bradbury,
Louise Rennison, Lois Duncan. Are these people I should know? hmmm... I might just be too braindead right now to remember them... Oh well. ^_~
Here are some authors who ppl mentioned who should have been on my list:
H.G. Wells, Chaucer, Roal Dahl, Alexandre Dumas
^_^
Oh, and Niko, why am I not surprised? *shakes head* Do you even have a favorite author outside of comic books? lol ^_~

anyway, today's question:
How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?
^_^ I know...my brain's a little fried right now, so I'm not coming up with good questions. This one sort of popped into my head. It must be some sort of divine inspiration...or somehing... XD
I think the actual question is how long do you have to suck on the stupid thing. I mean, who actually just licks a tootsie roll pop? I mean, there's a reason it's called a sucker. ^_^ You stick it in your mouth and suck on it! ^_~
Anyway...I'm getting lightheaded, so I'm gonna go to bed now, ok? ^_^
Don't miss me too much, ok? ^_~

   I don't even know what to put here...
Ok...serious stuff first:
Several of you have asked about my mom. She's doing better, as far as I can tell. She's handling the insulin thing taking things one day at a time. As far as I know, the baby's doing great! ^_^ The only worry is that he/she will grow too big b/c of the gestational diabetes. But if you could keep both Mom and the baby in your prayers, I'd appreciate it. ^_^
As to Kim...well, I'd really like to go see her again... *sniff* That poor girl. I sent her a long email yesterday. Hopefully, that'll help cheer her up. And...I'm going to try not to stress out about friends who can't live decent lives... *shakes head*
Crazy fun stuff:
Last night I went to Borders and bought Inside the Walls of Troy. I'm almost done with it already. It's not too bad, sort of look at the women in the Trojan war. (at least that's what it says.) Basically, the only women they gave any depth to are Helen and Cassandra (they're the only ones who get to tell any of the story at least.) It's alright, but I don't think it's as great as Allison said it would be...*shrugs* And, the night before, I got DNAngel #3!! ^_^ As well as The Wayfarer Redemption, so I'm all set for college! ^_~
okay, so today's question:
Who is your favorite writer of all time?
Kinda tough, eh? I'm pretty big on reading, so that's really hard for me. Again, I'll highlight a few faves:
J.R.R. Tolkien
Where would fantasy fiction be today without LotR?!?! ^_^ I'm very impressed with this man on the whole. (I mean, creating languages?!?) ^_^ Crazy stuff. He's a great role model, too! ^_^
C.S. Lewis
I should sort of include him w/ Tolkien. The men were great friends after all! The Chronicles of Narnia are essential to any child's reading list, but Lewis also wrote some great books on morality and religion. Want something really crazy? Read The Screwtape Letters! ^_^ Now that's crazy! ^_^
Jane Austen
I can't help it...I loved Pride and Prejudice! This woman offers a brilliant look at 19th Century British soceity.
Shakespeare
I know, I know...he's pretty overdone...but I loved Hamlet! *sniff* That is definitely the best play I've ever read! I also like Macbeth, Othello, Merchant of Venice...... ^_~
J.K. Rowling
yeah...I'm a Harry Potter fan... ^_^ While she's not as classical as some of these other writers, she really captivates you.

I could go for quite awhile on fave authors, but I'll leave it at these for now! ^_~

   Question of the day!
Alright! I've come up with one! ^_^

Who is your favorite famous artist?
Okay, I'm talking about painting/sculpting/drawing...whatever...not musical artist.
I have a few faves I'd like to highlight:
Claud Monet!
^_^ I'm not sure why, but I've always been drawn to his work. ^_^ I love his water lilies. They're gorgeous! His style broke away from that of the Renaissance period.
Leonardo Da Vinci & Michaelangelo
^_^ Don't get me wrong! I love Ren. art! ^_^ These two men were phenomenal!
Norman Rockwell
C'mon! Who doesn't like Norman Rockwell! Every painting by him is a classic! ^_^
Maxfield Parrish
^_^ He has a lot of great paintings, too. ^_^ Like Rockwell, he has a distinct style which I really apppreciate. ^_^

I think I'm gonna have to stop there...I could probably go on for a long time on other artists: Rembrant, Van Gogh, Picasso, etc. ^_^

   friends...
Well...I've been a real downer lately! *forced grin* I have more bad news...And we have lovelyEowyn to thank for this one...
*sighs*
Well, my friend (kim) from Colorado (we went to see her earlier this summer), is once again having everything bad happen to her! *sniff* I don't know if I told all of you earlier, but she got into a bad car accident recently. Luckily, the worst for her (physically) was whiplash. However, one of the other drivers is trying to blame everything on her! (even though he was at fault) The third driver was killed. (talk about some guilt, even if it wasn't your fault!) So, yesterday Kim went to court for all this...I don't know yet how it all worked out. She also recently lost her job. At the interview (where she was hired immediately), the woman told her they would work around her college schedule. Then, after 3 days of work, the woman called Kim into her office, saying that the other workers couldn't cover for the time Kim would be in court and that they didn't need the hassle of 'part time' help...Kim had arranged her college schedule so that she take down a 40-hour work week!!! She also had not followed up on the other job offers b/c she had gotten this one, and they've all filled up now that she's fired. Additionally, the apartment that she's sharing with a girl from Lincoln, NE is a complete wreck...the landlord wanted his best friend to move in, but Kim and her roomie got their deposit in first. So, this guy doesn't want them here. He refuses to fix anything. There's an infestation of ants that he won't take care of. He turned the heater on in their room. Finally, they called his boss about it, forcing their landlord to fix it. He yelled at them for calling his boss and told them to come to him first...like he'll ever do anything....*rolls eyes* He also tried picked a fight with the girl's dad when he came to see if they were settled alright. *shakes head*
On top of all that, I found out that 3 of my friends drink... *furious* Not only are all 3 of them underage, but all 3 of them know better! The one that pisses me off the most I won't mention by name, but she's very smart. She's going to a wonderful college, but it's also a serious party school. I wasn't worried about that aspect until I found out that she might get drawn in by it... The reason I know about these 3 friends who like drinking now *rolls eyes* is because they went to stay with Kim and were terrible the entire time they were there!!! They tried to get Kim to get into her stepdad's liquor cabinet. They hardly planned their trip (while Kim is in the middle of straightening out a million things with school, work, the apartment, and the car accident). They were selfish and disrespectful, and I'm honestly quite ashamed of all three of these girls!! *sighs* When I heard about this last night, I was torn between personally beating the crap out of each one of them, and just bursting into tears. All I want to do, is go see Kim, give her a big hug and just cry with her... *sighs* I'm too passionate...I worry too much about everyone else... *sighs*
If I think of a good question for today, I'll post it later...right now...I need to take a breather... *sighs*
