birthday fun
Well i've been kind of planning a birthday thing for my roommate. "kind of" because he really doesn't want to do anything with the "family." He wants to go out with his friends (who never call him or come over) for like the weekend before AND after his birthday. He was kind enough to set aside one friday for the three of us. And he isn't doing anything for his friends that don't do the party thing with him. I feel really bad because he has friends who would want to be with him and he doesn't want them over. I can understand him wanting a small thing for the family, but if he's going to celebrate with his "weekend friends" why doesn't he celebrate with his regular ones. Some of them, like my friend Alyssia, really care about him and never get to hang out with him because he won't make time. He was basically a 4 day weekend and he wouldn't stay for a couple hours to show a friend that he cares. It kind of pissed me off because its like his real friends don't matter anymore...but its his choice to make.

I just want to be a good friend to him, so i'm making his birthday as happy as possible. I guess he wants to go out to eat and i bought him a pie (he didn't want cake, i can understand people SANG at me for my birthday). It was yummy sounding so i grabbed it and he seemed to think it sounded good. Paul and I both gave him a present yesterday...and we are giving him one when we celebrate. The presents he already received were: a poster from me (bikini girl :P) and a set of pjs from Paul. The ones we are giving him later are a dvd from me (The girl next door) and a shirt from Paul. He should like them, he seemed to like the presents we've already given him.

Well i have loads to do this week, but i've been using spare time to get my reading done. I have a kind of good topic for my research paper...i hope he thinks it sounds ok. I'm having Alyssia over again on thursday and maybe tuesday as well, maybe J will stay back this time if i ask him. Probably not, since friday is when we are celebrating his b-day but hopefully soon, she was disappointed that he couldn't stay for a little while before.

Well thats all for now, I know it was a long update :) i will try to update more often this week so there isn't so much to catch up on

and i went shopping yesterday, some really cute close and cool movies were obtained... unfortunately no anime :(

btw has anyone heard of "Lady Death" because it sounds really good and i don't know whether to buy it or not...

Well i have time for a quick update :) I tried adding a midi (music) file to my site but it wasn't working right *sigh* So i took it off.

If anyone has suggestions for that, i already tried all the stuff in the forums and it still didn't work. I would greatly appreciate advice.

I am still working on the fanfiction, i should have that up within the next week, things are kind of hectic with me having to choose a topic for a huge research topic by tuesday, and the only thing i can thing of is surveying, which is difficult. Surveying is supposed to be random, with people from different demographic groups: male/female and age groups. Not to mention I would have to survey at least a 100 people to make it a viable study and then time for surveying and analyzing doesn't work. I hate having to do this but this is going to be a big deal and i have to figure out something good. My professor is really strict, so i have to do something really original to get a decent grade, unfortunately its kind of hard to figure out a study on the interaction of food with society...but i will figure something out i'm sure :)

Hope everyone is doing well, i love my classes so far and they are really interesting but they are a pain on my free time, i have reading for all my classes and problems to go over and labs to prepare for...just way too much.

But i'm enjoying life right now and the flame hair is starting to feel right...i still want to stripe it though, but its hard to do without help. I want chunky stipes of turquoise and purple and nobody has time to help me right now. I suck and doing it on my own, even when its all one color. If I miss a spot it stands out horribly...a blonde streak amidst purple or blue is very easy to see...so hopefully i can get it done. Maybe my friend Alyssia will help when she's over. :)

Paul and Alyssia and I kind of set up a hang out time, when she can come over and stay the night and then we can run her back to campus for work the next morning which is good :)

Jason's birthday is coming up and i still have to buy him something..i don't know what yet. I was supposed to go shopping with Paul today but he woke up late and is trying to finish his homework.

well thats really all that is going on :)

Ciao!

:(
Sorry for not updating lately, I've been busy with my first week of classes. Lots of reading and stuff to do, but I'm hoping to have some free time this weekend. I am going to put aside some time to work on fanfiction this weekend and will hopefully have the first chapter ready to post on monday. :)

My classes are going well and I dropped one so I can concentrate on my other classes (I have a couple really hard ones). I like my professors so far, they seem open to discussion and they seem like nice people. I find it odd that I barely ever have girl profs...I dunno why. Usually I have guy teachers. Its kind of weird. But they are nice so its alright.

I have someone i know in all of my classes :) I have Kasey and Jason in Evolution, Jason in Chemistry, and Allysia in Social Sciences. Jason never talks much though, but Kasey and Alyssia do so it makes up for him. I like actually discussing the lecture, I remember more that way.

Yay! I think this semester will be a lot of work, but alot of fun too.

Ciao!

back to school on monday
well its back to school on monday for me...and i'm not really looking forward to it. I have to check and see about my money on friday and get books and stuff this weekend. Paul's pushing for me to go to the doctor and unfortunately i think he's right. I don't cough as much but when i do i can't breathe. His mom thinks i have bronchitis right now but that I might be on the verge of pneumonia and I don't think that will go away without antibiotics. I hate the fact that my immune system is so low that I get sick all the time, this will be the first time I go to the doctor in like 3 years. Its been a long time, but as long as I get better it will be worth it. I can't afford to be sick and miss class when its just beginning, thats a good way to screw up the entire semester.

I actually accomplished stuff after getting back home. With the help of Paul (and a little help from Jason) I completely cleaned and rearranged my bedroom which is not an easy task. I have ALOT of heavy furniture. And I bought a bookshelf (not a little one either). Its completely full and my old one is still mostly full. I have too many books. My room is actually home-y now though. Its kind of weird after basically "existing" in a bunch of different places. This is the first time I've actually taken the time to really decorate a place. I guess knowing I'll be here until August at least made me want to settle in. I hope I'm here longer than that its a really comfortable house and other than a few little things this place is great. The rent is manageable and we have all the furniture and stuff we need.

College is a weird time to feel settled though. I just wish I had a job, which I'm going to try really hard this semester. It still pisses me off that they never called me back about my application. I have Work Study and I applied for the positions that people don't want as much (food service) so I thought I would get a job. Not to mention the woman who does it told my friend she would give me a job since she asked about it. Grr. And then she didn't. Big surprise. Its so dumb. I mean I am a college student who receives work study and that means I'm supposed to be considered before people without work study but that isn't the case. I shouldn't have such a problem finding a job. I mean they didn't even try to put me somewhere else or anything. They just didn't call.

Anyways, sorry for ranting but I'm hoping this time is different. I would like to be able to use my Work study. And to save a little money for things like new clothes and maybe a vacation or something so that I can relax sometime. I have gone to school continuously since my freshman year and halfway thru my 2nd year of college I am already a junior. And I didn't have ANY prior credits. I can't go on like this or I'll burn out. I'm almost there already and it surely doesn't help my health any to never have a break. A few weeks of break is nice, but its not the same as having the summer off and not having to worry about money to pay bills.

Well I'm hoping this year is better than last year. So far it hasn't been bad except for me being sick. And that is hopefully going to change.

Ciao for now...

there is no sad smiley :(
Well I'm sad to be leaving tomorrow. I didn't get everything done on my list. *sigh* The packing is mostly done. However, I didn't spend time with my family because my father never called :( Oh well its too late now. I only got ahold of one of my roommates rather than both. And it was the one i didn't need to talk to as much. I've decided my other roommate sucks, he is so hard to get ahold of. And his cell phone isn't on. He told me it would be on. Grr. Well I'm hoping that tonight goes well and I have fun with my friends before I go back home. I just hate NOT KNOWING what is going on with my roommate. I like to know if plans change. But I can't do much about it and I guess I'll just try to get him in the morning. HIs phone will probably be on for the drive to pick me up. Well thats all there really is to say. The story will most likely be posted tomorrow. I need to critique it first. I don't like showing my writing to people...but i figured fanfic would be fun. And its better than writing more of my horrible poetry.

That is all

   too much to do
Yay bunnies

wait a minute... :)

I'm feeling better AND worse at the same time. It doesn't make much sense. Oh well I'm hoping the illness is taking a turn for the better.

I have to start packing today, its going to suck. But I'm going to try to do it while Neko-san is at school so I can play games w/ her and spend time with her later tonight.

Packing is evil.

Also I want to read but don't have anything new. *sigh* I hate it when that happens. All of my fave authors are in between books at the moment. And I have been waiting FOREVER for the new George R.R. Martin book to come out, A Feast for Crows. Or anything new by Mercedes Lackey or something like that. I am at a loss.

On a good note though, I'm looking forward to the new Harry Potter book. I haven't decided if I'm preordering it yet. I think that would be way too geeky, but it would be cool :) Then I wouldn't have to wait forever to read it.

I talk too much but thats ok. I've got too much to do and I don't want to do it. I started writing my Yu Yu Hakusho fanfiction. More on that later. For now I think I'll just post it a chapter at a time and get input from people.

That is all.

thanks
I'd like to thanks everyone who signed my guestbook. In other news I am leaving to go home this weekend sometime, meaning that school starts again in a couple of weeks. It really sucks :(

I have to start packing and stuff and I absolutely hate packing but it will be nice to see my school friends again, but I'll miss Neko-san and Oniisan who I have been visiting. I will probably see them again this summer though, so it will be ok, but going like 6 months without seeing them really bites. But i only have so many breaks and its a long way to travel if i only have like a week off.

On the one hand i don't want to go home, on the other i can't wait to see the people i left behind. I haven't really talked to my friends much during break and its been kind of weird.

I've been sick too, my sister who was similarly ill to me (though not exactly) had pneumonia. I just hope i don't have it, I HATE going to the doctor. Strange since I want to BE a doctor.

Well I have had some idea's for fanfiction. I hope to get some written and posted in the next couple of weeks.

If anyone has idea's they might like me to include...let me know. I like to hear what people have to say. :)

Ciao!

Getting a start...
Well, I'm starting to customize the site more and soon enough will be focusing on my favorite characters off my fave anime's

Yu Yu Hakusho: Kurama and Hiei

Inuyasha: too many to count...probably Sesshomaru though

Witch Hunter Robin: Robin, of course and Amon

Trigun: Legato Bluesummers...though there are alot of cool characters

Read or Die: Paper...making weapons out of books is awesome and this is a new fave of mine

Berserk: Griffith probably but he's way too pretty

Rurouni Kenshin: Kenshin is cute and clueless, but there are alot of sweet characters on this show, including Aoshi, Sano, and Hajime Saito

Dragonball & Dragonball Z: Please don't ask me to include GT PLEASE. Anyways, Vegeta and Piccolo are definitely my faves...Vegeta has that "I am the prince of all saiyans" deal and his arrogance makes him a really interesting character

Well since this has gotten way too long, let me know YOUR faves and why
