Bipolar complex can make you feel so good. . .

No, I don't have bipolar complex. That damned commercial about it is just sort of...stuck in my head so I figured, what the hell! and decided to use it as the title for this post.

Anyway, to make up for yesterday's insufficient post, I'll, um...talk about...er, hunting. Or something.

Yeah, I went hunting today. Lonnie had been planning to go so he asked me if I wanted to go; Blaike had already planned on going but I was still undecided. Immediately after opening the slider door and stepping inside, however, I was questioned about going and agreed because going hunting (despite how boring it can be and how damn cold it gets) is fun.

Now, mind you, I'm not old enough to hunt myself so I just go with Lonnie and sit in the blind with him; helping to spot deer and listen for sounds. May sound boring to any of you who have never hunted in your life, but its all fun to me. The first hour or so I spent just sitting back in a comfy rocking chair that was in there; kind of absentmindedly staring out at the sky as that was all I could see from my position in the chair. Lonnie was sitting on the stool next to the little table like thing inside the blind where he was holding his gun, periodically checking out the surrounding woods with the scope whenever he saw movement.

After the first hour (around 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM) or so, he asked me if I could see anything and I promptly told him that the chair did not permit to see anything but sky. He suggested that I grab the bag of corn, place it in the chair and sit on that. Wanting to be of better help, I did so and sat on that damn bag of corn for the next hour. That thing hurt like hell. My butt was so sore after I got off that thing...

But anyway, the night didn't turn out too successful. The conditions weren't too good; the weather was bad for hunting. And by around 5:30 it was too dark to even see whether or not there was a deer of any kind in the woods. So we headed off towards the blind set off farthest back in the woods where Blaike had been hunting.

The only thing Lonnie and I had ended up with at the end of the time we were hunting was that we knew there were some deer to the south of us; there was a window in the blind that faced that way, but the blind Blaike was in was also that way so it was better not to risk it. We'd heard the deer that were down there as they walked through the cluster of trees next to us. Other than that, Lonnie said he'd seen some legs behind one of the pine trees out in the field to the west of us(the other window in the blind was facing that way), but since the pine trees were in the way and were kind of far off, he probably never would have been able to get anything had they even shown themselves.

After meeting up with Blaike and beginning to head back, we learned that Blaike had not spotted anything either. All he had seen were some squirrels eating from the bait pile. A few minutes later we met up with Richard(my step-grandpa) who was in the blind nearest to the house, just outside of the first of three fields that were out in his woods. (The three blinds that are out there are situated perfectly throughout these three fields; the first one just to the north of field numero uno, the second(the one Lonnie and I were in) situated just east of field numero tres(field #2 is too close to field #1 and blind #1 for a blind to be set up there) and the third blind is situated a little southeast of field #3, facing a trail that eventually leads into someone else's property.)

Blind #1 belongs to Richard, Blind #2 was built by Lonnie, Blaike and Lonnie's brothers, and #3 was built by someone else in the family. All of the three blinds are shared by everyone in the family who hunts(and most of them do) and usually some pretty good kills end up coming off the property from one of the three blinds.

So far, since the season started, I believe only one doe has been killed and that was on Monday night by Richard off of his blind. Other than that, I believe a few others have been out there during the course of the week but have not had any luck.

Ok, unto other things besides hunting, which isn't much...

Xio considers me her "sensei" because of my obsessiveness over Naruto...and now we've began discussing Naruto so much at lunch and whatnot that she's really interested in reading it! *coughs* Xio, the link to where I download Naruto can be found in my intro. I believe the words "the" is linked to it. But, just in case, here's the link anyhow: NarutoFan.

Yay! Whoo! Yay! I'm so happy! I made it into The God-Game! Whoohoo! Yippee!

Other than that, I got to cry three straight consecutive times over a certain part in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. *sighs* So sad...but, atleast I get to take a test on it tomorrow. Then I'm going to bring Rifles For Watie home and read that. Then I'll finish The King's Fifth and begin reading the Lord of the Rings books(for two reasons: #1.) I've been wanting to read them and #2.) they're worth quite a lot of points!).

Ah, anyway, I'm planning on going hunting again with Lonnie on Sunday(not sure whether it'll be in the morning or afternoon, he asked me and I said I didn't care) and other than that I'm going to my dad's for the weekend like always. He's said that he'll have finished the item list in QUARANTINE when I come back tomorrow. Last time we talked(which was last weekend) he was at 72 items to go...I really hope he's finished it! He's been working on it for more than a month now! Then he can start working on mine for me, lol! But he just likes that game so much he doesn't mind doing mine, too...(I've got a little less than half to go...)

Sensei!

'What's that Sensei?'
'Oh, that? That's a doppelganger! Where in the world did you go to school at?'
'Er, well, uh...I was...uh, sick. Yeah, sick most of the time...yeah, that's right.'
*exaggerated sigh*

*points to self* Me = Xio's sensei. That's right, me = Xio's sensei.

Er, ah, gotta go...kinda got a little too into editing my sign-up and forgot to keep typing here...

The S to the C to the R to the O and the double L!

Lots of Strong Bad email watching today at Xio's house. We watched any one that we though sounded interesting and they were all quite funny. We even sent an email to him, asking if he wanted hot chicks and why he was so desperate women and if he was just lying about having lines of women waiting to meet up with him because he was jealous of the Cheat. We also asked if he could forward the email to the Cheat. We then decided that we would email him as much as we possible could and brainstormed on ideas. One was to ask him to forward the email to HomeStar. And email that would look something like this:

Dear Strong Bad,
Could you please forward this to HomeStar?

Dear HomeStar,
Have you ever considered becoming a professional singer? You have a wonderful voice and some of your songs are just amazing!

Well, just wondering,
Kayla and Xio
*********, Michigan

We figure he'd probably never be able to pronounce Xio's name. He'd be like:

X, er...x ee oh...er...x eye oh...er...X-I-O....yeah, that's good.

Yep, we're going to pester him with emails all the time! *devilish grin*

Hmm...the National Math test was pretty fun. I worked really hard and made sure that I'd given each question a lot of thought before answering, which almost led to my downfall...I was only on question 13 of 25 when there were ten minutes left. Then when there were three minutes left to the test I was on about 20 out of 25. At about one minute I was all like, "screw this" and started picking answers by waving my finger around and pointing at them. Xio said she liked my way of picking the answers >.>

Heh. Only five people(including myself) showed up to take the test. All of us were eighth graders, so, obviously, we knew each other. Last year we got pizza but, sadly, this year we didn't. *cries* But, we did get free pop from the pop machines, pretzels, tootsie rolls and some other various assortment of candy, although we were limited to four pieces each.

*grins* Corey(from OB, he was formerly known as KnightOftheRose if I'm not mistaken) said that I definitely seemed like a good RPer and that he wanted me in the RPG, BUT, I needed to rewrite my sign-up. I told him that I did usually get much time on the internet, but that I'd write a new one on paper and see if I could get it typed up tomorrow. That was earlier when I first got to Xio's house and I'm going to check back at OB in a minute. I have another PM I need to check that I didn't get to on Monday because my mom picked me up as the page was loading...

Well, anyway...um...I should probably get to that sign-up now and I should probably get back to reading or something...or doing something creative. I've already got a plan to write Sara a letter during Discovery LA tomorrow(I'm finally getting to it!). I hope I can get to writing in my story tonight, too...I'm sure Xio will be bugging me about it all during Discovery, so I better write a bunch of stuff to satisfy her.

She's oh-so looking forward to the 3rd to last After Story Extra. Yep, you could say that she's so looking forward to it that its making her sick just thinking about it.

Er, well, that didn't make much sense, but, we'll see what she says if she comments! *maniacle laugh*

Ahem.

Day: Er, hold on... *checks almight calendar* Yes, 93, just as I expected.

Whoo!

Yay! I think I've finally found a better webhost! Yay! And its for a cheaper price but I get so much more than I'm getting with Yahoo! All I need now is permission from my mom. I emailed her last night when I found it, but I haven't gotten a reply. I can wait, though. I have to anyway 'cause I need her credit card information >.>

I signed up for an awesome RPG last night. I suggest you check it out or else! Its called "The God-Game" its going to be great, I'm telling you it will! I wrote my sign-up at three in the morning and I already had to make some changes today so I hope its fine now...I really shouldn't write sign-ups at three in the morning. But oh well! I like how it is right now. I've fine tuned it to perfection.

Well, since I'm waiting for an answer about the new webhost I don't want to work on my website anymore, just because Yahoo! sucks! *creates a "Yahoo! sucks club*

I hate to cut this post so short, but, I mean, nothing happened since I updated yesterday. I mean, nothing. At all. I have a boring life. Yes. Ok. That's it then.

*beats with stick*

This computer is such a huge hunk of junk. Its so annoying...I'm going to have to restart it in a minute because half the time its not letting me right click(and no its not the mouse).

*sigh* I'm in a such a spur of the moment mood right now. I just finished transferring all of the pictures from my two Photobucket accounts(one for torture, one for pleasure*, er, I mean, one for my website, one just for other images) back onto my PC and then uploaded most of them to my website. Kamemaster sort of inspired me to do it. I'd been feeling so lazy about switching all of the images over into my new account with all of that damn storage Yahoo! that I hadn't done it until now. Now that I have done it, I've still got to change a bunch of links. I'm glad I did it, though. But, you know, even after uploading all of those pictures I'm still only using 5.6 of 2,000 MB.

But, once I get a few other things uploaded I'll start using it up more. I've still got a bunch of pages that need to be made, more images to upload, scans and whatnot. The list goes on for awhile, but right now its empty pretty much. Most of the images I've got on there are pretty small in KB. I don't even think many of them actually reach anywhere near 1 MB so that would account for the small amount of space used.

I truly don't believe I'll run out of space anytime soon. Probably later when I really need it, though. T_T

I made two wallpapers last night. One of Ed from Full Metal Alchemist and another one of Kakashi. I'm quite pleased with both of them. Especially the background's. I was having a lot of fun applying random effects to them both until they ended up how they were. I really like the background on the Kakashi one, though. I wish I would have written down what effects I used on it, though >.> I'd like to create another one, just in a different color. Well, I'm sure I'll figure it out by experimenting a bit...

Shit. I really got to restart this now. Its to the point where the "Open" windows and such wont pop up...but not it'll right click. Stupid hunk of junk.

I didn't have anything else to say anyway.

Beware the Anbu!

As you may have noticed, the new theme of myOtaku is: Kakashi! The colors of the site come from the "Beware the Anbu!" welcome sign I put up. Reddish-orange(although the links are actually dark red so they contrast well with the green sidebar) links, light blue hover and a darkish-lightish green sidebar.

I've got a new song to put up, but Yahoo! doesn't let me host mp3's so, uh, it wont be up all too soon. If anybody has any suggestions as to where I can host, feel free to tell me! *big puppy dog eyes*

The links in my intro have changed(obviously). Quoting my welcome banner, Beware the Anbu! The three words each link to a different Naruto site and the exclamation point links to a certain who helped me with my Naruto manga troubles.

*shouts a big thank you*

THANK YOU MIMMI!

Ahem. Yes. Anywho, I found out some extremely awesome information last night: Zaku(A Sound Nin for those of you who aren't extremely familiar with Naruto) shares the same birthday as I do! Although, he's a year older than me. And also, Kakashi-san's birthday is the day after mine! I swear I almost fainted when I read that his birthday was the 15th of September! It was surprising to see Zaku's as the 14th, too, seeing as it was the first biography under the A's at NarutoFan.

Anyway, sometime I'd like to write down all of the character's whose birthday's are known and write them down on my calendar. ^_^ Yep, then I could know exactly who's birthday it was that day.

Other than that, yesterday was pretty routine. Downloaded Naruto, listened to music, surfed sites. Same old, same old. I did go to bed really early though. I went to bed at 1 AM, much earlier than I usually do. I was just getting kind of bored, though, and wanted to go to bed...

Ah, well, I need to check my email, so, guess that's it!

Dum. . .da. . .dum. . .da da da da dum dum dum dum. . .dum

^ ^ ^ ^
Tis my rendition of myO song, translated into da's and dum's(mind you its coming from memory so it might not be exact...).

I'm currently at my dad's, doing scans from the manga's I brought with me and waiting for Naruto #138 to finish downloading. I've also got a plate of pizza sitting in front of me, untouched because I've had my fingers on the keyboard since it was set there. I plan on eating it soon, but not right now.

Hmm... *glances around site* I do love this layout and all, but, surely, its time for a change, right? Guess I'll be heading off to work on that in a bit. Can't say you wont be able to guess what it'll be based on, hehe. Really quite simple by my standards; shouldn't take you too long to figure it out. Just gotta make the images and then change the colors accordingly. That should take me atleast an hour, since I'm going into this not quite knowing what I truly would like to do with the site. I'm sure I'll be delighted with how it turns out in the end, and I hope the same goes for all of you, too!

We had an assembly during Jumpstart today. It was the first card marking awards assembly. I got a Accelerated Math objectives award(I passed 23 objects), a pencil, pop, and bookmark for getting atleast 25 AR points(when the card marking had ended I had 41 if you all remember or if I never mentioned it), a certificate for being on the all "A" honor roll and...best of all:

MY AMERICAN HERO ESSAY WAS CHOSEN TO GO TO THE STATE FINALS! WHOO!

Well, mine along with nine other people's. A lot of people seemed quite surprised that their essay's had been chosen. We all congratulated each other afterwards. Mrs. Stratton says she wants to see if we can all meet at lunch next week to have a little meeting about it. The few of us who had been chosen who were in her class at the time said we thought it'd be a pretty good idea.

Once I got home I called my mom and told her the news. She was estatic about it, having read the essay and really liking it. I told her about all of the things I could win if my essay was chosen and stuff. Then I told her there was a pamphlet that needed filling out, so she told me to leave it on the table and she'd look at it when she got home. Along with the pamphlet, I put my two certificates on the table so she could look at those, too.

Ah, today was a pretty good day. Pretty good.

Yay! 138's done! Woo! Yay! *heads off to unzip and read without a second thought*

*grumbles something menacing about the

I swear, I am going to smash something with a conviently located hammer if one more goddamn guestbook entry gets deleted from my guestbook. Within the last three weeks or so, I'd say three or four have been deleted and then a few days later replaced so that I was at what I originally was. And with all of the deleting and only getting replaced with enough to restore the number to what it was, I have yet to breach 98 signatures. I don't care all that much about having a lot of guestbook signatures, but I would like to atleast hit one hundred before my first year anniversary here.(I'd like to hit 2000 visits as well)

Yep, its coming soon! My first year anniversary at Otakuboards and my first year anniversary at myOtaku! December 6th for OtakuBoards I believe and December 28th here....I'm so excited! I can't believe its almost been a year already. Oh, and, I must remind Xio that her first year anniversary here passed more than a month ago and at Otakuboards probably just a little over a month ago I believe. *elbows her hard in the side*

An uninteresting enough topic: I re-organized my binder today. I tried to give all of my subjects a folder to themselves but...my binder wouldn't hold all of the folders so I added one or two and emptied a few out, storing the papers in some extra folders. I think I'm going to ask my mom if we can go to the store and find me a larger binder. Mind you all, I have quite a few binders but none of them fit my need. Also, I do like my binder right now but its just too small it it gets quite hard to close if I'm stuffing a bunch of work in there or trying to transport a few books home.

I'm almost done with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I'm on page 670 something right now...I only stopped reading about two hours ago because Robin had come back with Lonnie so I decided to eat the pizza he had brought home for everyone out in the living room with Blaike, Lonnie, Robin and my mom, whom arrived about an hour after Robin had arrived. We watched TV and joked a bit. Then I did my math homework while I was bored from watching TV...atleast I remembered it. Lonnie had asked me if I had any and it took me a moment to remember that I did. So I went off and got it and then did it right in front of him. I hope that's all the homework that I had...Oh, right. I want to re-write that application for class treasurer for Social Studies(its for a mini-society we're doing. I want to be treasurer and I hope I get it 'cause I forget to pick up any other application forms. I think I will...out of my entire class I'm probably the most qualified =P) so its a bit neater. Gotta write a little smaller so my sentences fit on the lines provided...

*whines* I want Metal Gear Solid 3! I want Metal Gear Solid 3! I want it! I want it! I want it! I can't stand not having it! I just absolutely cannot stand it!!!!!

Oh, and, going back a subject that I kind of left off on above...

I took a test on Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban today and got 95% on it. Damn stupid irritating questions. Two of the answers on there both could have been correct and I just happened to choose the one that the AR program deemed incorrect. Well, I got 17.1/18 points so I'm satisfied. I also know all of the points for the books now:

#1: 12
#2: 15
#3: 18
#4: 32
#5: 44

Whee. Once I take that test on Goblet of Fire tomorrow(I plan on finishing it tonight) I'll have over one hundred. Joy, a girl in my class who's also an avid reader, was asking me how many points I had. Now, take in mind that at the end of the first card marking, I had 41.3 points and she had 46.5 points or so, so, she was closer to hitting the 50 mark then I was. When I told her I had around 80(I believe its around 83 right now), she was astonished and taken aback. She thought she still had more than me. She laughed and said, "Its on, Kayla. Its on!" in a joking way and we both laughed about it. See, we both want to have a bunch of AR points by the end of the year so we can get incredibly awesome prizes. I'm already eligible for the 5, 10, 25, and 50 points prizes and tomorrow I should hopefully be eligible for the 100 point prize as well...then I'll head for 250 and after that 500...Once I finish with the Harry Potter books I've got that Rifles With Watie book that's worth 18 points and then I'll check out a few more Lois Duncan books (all averaging around 7-10 points) and also finish the King's Fifth(10 points).

Heh. The school is smart about something! Promising kids with prizes if they get a lot of points encourages them to read! Wow! Can you believe it?

*tapping fingers on keys in impatience to think of something to type* Hmm. Guess that's it, really. I'll attempt to get to a few people's sites tonight. Highly doubt I will though...and if I do I probably wont comment(I usually can't think of anything to comment about anyway >.>).

Now, what was it again? Oh right...

My memory is...extremely sketchy these days. I've been forgetting homework lately, just barely getting it done at the last minute. I can remember whether or not I did something or another. Remembering what day of the week it is and what classes I have is seeming to fade away...I feel like Mia from .hack...I even acted like her in Jumpstart earlier this week. Complaining that maybe none of this was real, that it was all just a game and I was a lone vagrant AI while everyone else was an actual person in real life.

Half the time when my mom or Lonnie tells me to do something over the phone, I forget what it was a few minutes afterwards and can't seem to remember everything that they told me. I'll remember various bits of the conversation, but other than that my mind draws a blank and I'll have to call them up and ask them what it was they wanted me to do again.

Its probably just malnutrition or something; there hasn't been much to eat around the house and of what there is, most of its not healthy. Lack of sleep is probably a pretty good factor, too. I usually don't get much sleep during the week and end up catching up with all of once the weekends come, but usually the sleep I don't get doesn't affect me during the day. I still perform at my best during school, I remember things...Ah, but, its nothing to worry about right now. Unless it persists and continues to get worse; then I'll consult my mother for medical treatment...

I'm taking an AR test on the third Harry Potter book tomorrow. I'm currently almost halfway through with the fourth. I'm just about up to the Yule Ball part of the book...After I finish the fourth one and take a test I'll be guaranteed 32 points for it. Well, considering I get all the questions right. Of the two tests on Harry Potter books I've taken, I've only gotten one wrong and that was for the second book. I didn't even think the question was worded very well; they wanted to know why Uncle Vernon had locked Harry up in his room for the rest of the summer. The answer was that he found out that Harry couldn't use magic outside of school because he was underage...seems more like they should have said something about him "supposedly" smashing Aunt Petunia's pudding bowl. I thought for sure it had something to do with the pudding(I couldn't quite remember since it was from early in the book), so I answered that the women who was there got covered in pudding.

Pft. I hate AR tests anyway. I'm only reading a million different books right now(not just because its something to do during the day and I do actually enjoy it), but because I want to get the most AR points out of anybody in the school. I want to hit the 500 points mark by the end of the year and get a $50 gift certificate to a store of my choice!

Right now I should have around 68 points and tomorrow it should be somewhere in the lower 80's if I'm not mistaken....I don't know how many points the third Harry Potter book is. I only know how many the fourth one is....

But anyway...um...well...I guess that's all really. Oh, almost forgot, next week is this National Math Test thing and I'm going to take it. I took it last year, too, but didn't score too well. But, I'm hoping to do better this year since I know a lot more than I did last year when I took it.

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

I sort of "cleaned" my room today. My mom wanted me to vacuum, so I picked up the papers that were strewn across the floor, tossed them elsewhere, threw a few away, filed some, piled junk on my bed, vacuumed and then proceeded to "make" my bed. I had to pull the comforter, blanket and sheet off so I could pull the stupid foam pad back up onto the bed(it was more than halfway off near the end of my bed). Then I had to put my comforter, blanket and sheet back on the bed, along with my pillows, Meowth doll, stuffed cat and teddy bear.

Speaking of my teddy bear and stuffed cat...I think my real cat is jealous of them. Yeah, jealous. Whenever they're lying next to me on the bed, she'll jump up next to me, grab one of them by the head and drag it off near the door. She'll proceed to attack the thing like it was threatening my life and then casually walk off to do something else.

I've found this odd. She's only just recently started doing it, but, I only just recently starting sleeping with those two stuffed animals(I've always slept with the Meowth doll *huggles*). So now I'll wake up in the morning, and usually the teddy bear will be lying by the door, looking as if it was attacked during the night, dragged off and then attacked again.

We went a on field trip today. It was...ok. Kind of boring, but, atleast we got out of class for awhile. Of course, the class I was forced to get out of was Discovery Language Arts, easily one of the best classes I have. *grumbles* But, oh well...atleast I got to mess around on the bus with Xio and Alexa(we lied about what number we were given so we could be on the same bus; they numbered us off in class and told the even's to get on one bus and the odds on the other. Actually, I couldn't even remember what number I was. It was either 33 or 34...But, Alexa and Xio were standing right next to each other so they obviously had one or the other, but I was sitting at a desk next to Travis. But to get on the same bus we just didn't go with the even's(which was called first). Luckily, people who also wanted to be on the same bus as their friends did the same thing we did and paid no attention to the damn numbers).

Er...right...I've been feeling...funny lately. Over...a certain boy in my class...sure it might just be a simple crush, but, still...I mean...I like him. I really like him...Much more then I liked my old crush *throws old crush out the window and spits on him* Screw him anyway; he's an ass.

*sighs* I just can't get him out of my head...*dreamy look* And, its like, I...just...always want to be near him. He's so funny...and friendly and likeable. He's just an all around awesome person. *floats away on Cloud Nine*
