Oh my, Oh my!

I gotta rush this post today. For, you see, I've already been online for almost five hours straight, and I really need a break! (And I bet anything Ducky wants to get on.) Although I didn't think I'd be able to, I got around to everyone's sites. ... well, not everyone, but almost everyone! That's still good, right? Also, I managed to get out a wallpaper today. Hee, I really like it too. ShadowFaintZero, you're required to go check it out, seriously. You'll appreciate it most, methinks. Even though I just changed my theme a few days ago, I already know what I'm going to do next. It'll be fabulous, trust me darling! Just you wait and see; I'm so excited about it! Today, my friend Mike sent me a link to this awesome site that I think all of you should at least try out for a few minutes. It's www.djjinnai.com, it has a bunch of cool anime remixes there. Heh, thanks for sendin' me the link, Mike! I'd been wanting to check out that site, but forgot the name of the URL. That's it really. Today's been rather uneventful, so... ta! ~God Bless~

I've been listening to my brother's The Bravery CD a lot lately. It's so good! I've been listening to the song mentioned in the subject bar over and over again. Tis just too good. Tyrant is also a good song; then, there's the ever so popular song, An Honest Mistake. Swollen Summer, Unconditional, all good songs. (BUY THE DARN CD, NOW!!!!) Ahem, anywho... My Tsubasa DVD shipped today. So, it should come within the next 7-10 business days. Hee, that means I'll be able to watch it before the family trip to Mexico! I can't wait until I can compare the differences between the manga and anime, then start saying, "The manga is SO much better!" ('Cause you know that it is... I mean, come on!) Sounds like oh so much fun to me. I think I should mention this now before I forget. That family trip to Mexico. See, we're leaving for Puerto Vallarta in the beginning of August. It's been so long since we had a vacation like this! Actually, we've never had a family vacation like this, now that I think of it... Anyway, okay... leaving beginning of August. Oh yes! The place we're going to, Puerto Vallarta, is supposed to be a really great vacationing spot. According to one of my mom's lawyer friends, "It's all the good things about Mexico and none of the bad." Man, did my parents luck out when they chose that place or what? It's going to be great, so relaxing. I think my parents deserve this more than anyone, they've been working so hard lately. Once we leave, we'll be gone for nine days, I think. At least a week, so most likely no internet access during that time. Just a bit of a warning to you all, I suppose. Okay... what else? (I sound like Kyle when he was really young, heh.) Well, my brother is in Japan now. Or, at least, he should be. It's around 3-4 am over there right now, he's most likely asleep. And yesterday, the day he left, as soon as he was gone, my mom took us out to Man Se (best teriyaki place in town). Heh, I just found it amusing. See, my brother Kyle's a big eater. He's not fat, but he does eat... a lot. So, whenever he leaves, you can always tell right away what the difference is, merely by looking at how much food we have left. Now, I hope you don't go around thinking my brother is fat. He isn't, oh no. At least not anymore. In fact, he's quite lean. Ever since karate, he's lost upwards to fifty pounds! It's really amazing. Me, being his sister, didn't notice it right away, because it was a gradual change. But then, one day, my mom commented on it, and she was right. He had lost a bunch of weight. Not to mention, he's really strong too. So, although he may look fat, he isn't. Just remember that if you ever chance to see him (which you probably won't). Well, anyway. While Kyle's gone, Ducky and I are splitting his chore, washing towels. Which means, more yen for me! Wheee! In fact, I just got payed today. Heheheh, sweet. Now I can buy all the newest volumes from my series! *dances* It's not even that hard, having two (rather big) jobs at once. I can easily see myself doing both on a regular basis. I'll try to end this post before it gets any longer. Just have to mention a few other things. I managed to get to everyone's sites today, even the ones from yesterday that hadn't updated yet. Yes, well... in other news, I submitted a new Tsubasa wallpaper today, one of Syaoran. I'm rather proud of it; if you love Syaoran, come on down! *Price Is Right music plays in the background* I'll most likely have more time to make wallpapers now, at least one a day. Simply because my brother is gone, so I won't be playing any Tales of Symphonia. Heh, I have a lot to catch up on, too. And, that's it. Although, I rather doubt many people will check this, since the post is so long, and I'm posting it right before the new day. Eh, whatever. ~God Bless~

Tsubasa, lovely Tsubasa!

My obsession with Tsubasa has been renewed! Hallelujah! It was starting to waver, but then yesterday, July 4th, something amazing happened! I had my mom order the first Tsubasa DVD from eBay. ^^ Heheh, I must thank AnimeChick4DDR for giving me the idea to check that site. Now, finally, I'll be able to see the anime! And there'll be English subtitles too, so I can actually tell what they're saying. I'm so excited, I can't wait for it to get here! Speaking of Tsubasa, I submitted a Sakura wallpaper a couple of days ago. It turned out quite nicely, if I do say so myself (and I do, too!). I worked two hours on it, so I'm glad it came out the way I wanted it to. I also submitted a wallpaper today, this one of Rukia from Bleach. It didn't take me two hours, but it still looks pretty cool. Now, I must show off something a good myO friend of mine made for me. Isn't it cute? Winged Youki made it, and I didn't even ask her to. ^_^ Thanks yet again Tex! Well, I was planning on making a rather long post today, but I don't have the time. Instead, I'll just mention one other thing before getting off. In a few hours, my brother Kyle is leaving for Japan, He'll be there for 10 days with some of his karate friends. This whole trip is associated with his karate class, actually. So, tonight, I'm going to stay up and play some Halo with him and Matt (guy from karate) until they leave. Oh, and they're leaving at 2:00 am. Can you imagine that? Well, they're only leaving for the airport then, they won't actually get on their plane until 3. Man, he's so lucky to be going. I'm ever so jealous! Thankfully, he's gonna bring us back some souvenirs. I wonder what he'll get me? Oh well, no use pondering over it. I'm going to miss him while he's gone, I'm sure. Not at first, but after five days maybe. No matter how many fights we get into, I still love him, and miss him when he goes on long trips like this. He won't be gone forever, though. Just gotta keep that in mind. Anyway, I better be going. I have to shower real fast, then it's off to play some Halo! Ta! ~God Bless~ (PS: A lot of people seem to love the new theme. ^_^ I'm glad you do! And thanks for telling me how you feel about it.)

New theme's done, y'all!

The theme's all done now. You like? Well, I like! The background is so beautiful, I couldn't resist! I had to use it! I know it's not really Tsubasa, but it does sort of match my avatar. (Do you like the avatar? Made it meself.) I now have over 1000 visits on my site. Wow... I'm so proud of you guys! I wouldn't have all those numbers if it weren't for you. *sniff* I'm touched, really. I mean, for you to come back time and time again... I must be tolerable to you by now! ^^ You've made me so happy! Anyway, I won't be able to make any wallpapers right now. I know I said yesterday that I (hopefully) might, but alas... I cannot at the moment. For one, on-going reason. Dragonball Z. I must watch it, and it'll be on soon enough. But, I'll definitely make something tomorrow! Something Tsubasa, most certainly. The new background has inspired me, and I'm actually quite excited about it. Well, enough about site business. How about some real life stuff, eh? That can be fun from time to time, right? Today, I really didn't feel like working out. I had good reasons for why I should stay home too (good in my eyes, anyway). For one, it was very hot out, and working out could possibly make me hotter. Secondly, I had certain... woman problems that would've made it difficult. But, I went anyway. Go me! It wasn't terribly hard. I mean, tis just like every other Thursday, really. Tiring... and hard. Sweaty too. Thursday is the one day where I actually go to a class. Usually, I'm just working on different machines. But on Thursdays, I have to do two classes in a row. Yeah, hard work. Yet, still I go... You see, I must go and work out. If I don't, how will I ever get any healthier? (Forget the outdoors, I'll just go to a fitness place and lift machines there!) Plus, I've lost some weight since going to All Star Fitness. At least ten pounds, and it's noticeable! It's really great! Jeans I didn't used to fit into, fit now! And I also have visible muscles! Yeah, I know. Tis a miracle. I'm so proud of me! Well, I think I'll be going now. You know why. *coughdbzcough* Ta then! ~God Bless~

Didja miss me?

... I thought not. Well, I was away from the internet for yet another five days. Heh, I told you it would happen again. This will most likely happen a lot during the summer, due to video game stuff, and possibly other... stuff. You'll be glad to hear that I don't have much to report. I've just been playing Tales of Symphonia with my brother lately. We're almost ready to go on to our new game plus! I can't wait! Finally, some challenging battles again! Earlier today, Kyle was nice enough to escort my sister and I to the local variety store, Fred Meyer. And there, I found something most enjoyable, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. I'd been wanting that movie for ever so long, and finally... there it was! And I could afford it! Oh, goodness me, tis so grand to have a new Hayao Miyazaki film to add to my library. Tis just as good as everyone's been telling me. Although, it disappoints me to say, my brother and sister did not enjoy it as much as I. Alas! Twas not meant to be! But, as long as I can find enjoyment in it, I see no wrong. For if I had not enjoyed the film, I would've wasted $20 on it, and that cash could've been used for other things; namely, new manga. But let us not go on about what could have been! We must move on! (Alright, enough with the silly talk.) I'm in the workings of changing my theme. Heh, the Dessert one was a hit, everyone loved it. But, all good things must come to an end, as it were. Now, some of you might remember me mentioning a monkey theme. Well, I would be doing that, if I had the right pictures to use, but at the moment... I don't have them. So, for now, my new theme shall be Tsubasa! I'm not done with it just yet; I still have to find a background picture, but that will have to wait until tomorrow. For, you see, DBZ will be on any minute! I must hurry and finish what I need to say... ... and, I've pretty much said everything. There is a little something I'd like you all to take note of. For the next few days, I'll be getting on at night time, between 7-10 PM. My sister applied for a job in town, so we have to stay offline until they contact her. Yeah... it sucks. I hate getting on late, it just doesn't feel right. Thank goodness it's not forever. Well, ta for now! I shall update tomorrow, and hopefully come up with a wallpaper or two. ~God Bless~

1989 is teh awesome-ness

I wanna thank you guys for all the comments yesterday. Fourteen is the most I've ever gotten. Thanks for stickin' around and always leaving a little something to say before you leave. v^.^ Earlier, I submitted a Kikyo wallpaper. I really like it, for some reason. It just looks very cool in my eyes. I think the background image made it so great. I found it at AnimeRain.com; they have a ton of cool backgrounds, and other stuff too. Go check 'em out. Here's a little something: In 1989 (the year you were born) George H.W. Bush becomes president of the US The largest oil spill in US history occurs after the Exxon Valdez strikes Blight Reef in Alaska's Prince William sound In Liverpool, England a soccer stadium barrier collapses killing 94 people Hurricane Hugo causes 71 deaths and $4.2 billion in damage A massive earthquake hits the San Francisco Bay area minutes before the World Series between the Giants and A's The Berlin Wall comes down, symbolically ending the Cold War Serial killer Ted Bundy is executed in Florida's electric chair Ayatollah Khomeini places a three-million-US dollar bounty for the death of author Salman Rushdie Actress Zsa Zsa Gabor is arrested in Beverly Hills, California after slapping a motorcycle police officer Nintendo released its popular handheld video game player, Game Boy Oakland Athletics win the World Series San Francisco 49ers win Superbowl XXIII Calgary Flames win the Stanley Cup Batman is the top grossing film "Look Away" by Chicago spends the most time at the top of the US charts Talk show host, Geraldo Rivera's nose is broken during a taping of his show, when a fight erupts on the set between guests The Arsenio Hall Show and The Simpsons premiere Dragonball Z premieres on Japanese television What Happened the Year You Were Born? More cool things for your blog at Blogthings Heh, that last one is my favorite. Speaking of Dragonball Z, I gotta hurry and take a shower before it's on. Uncut DBZ is a dream come true; I couldn't call myself a DBZ fan until now... ... anyway, ta! ~God Bless~

100 was always my favorite number...

Today, I have reached 100 guestbook signings. Wow, only took me five months. That's not very long, right? Averages to about 20 per month... Anyway, congrats to me and all... blah blah blah. Actually, the person who signed my guestbook today was very nice. She thanked me for making such beautiful Tsubasa wallpapers. Heh, thanks very much for your comment Razbitum. In other news, EdWillSoS is holding a contest for people's sites. I suggest entering. It's not gonna hurt or anything, right? Tis all in good fun. Another contest that's being held at the moment is one by banzaiinu1. I don't remember if I mentioned this or not, but I also suggest checking that out. The prize is definitely worth it. More News: Kyle and I finally got around to finishing up Tales of Symphonia. We got the game about a year ago, and we just recently beat the final boss. Now, we're working on getting all the titles and such, and getting as much GRADE as possible. By the way, I suggest getting this game. Tis a very good RPG, which is currently available for the GameCube and should be out for the Playstation 2 pretty soon. (Get it for the GameCube! Support Nintendo! *salutes*) Finally, I won't be able to make a wallpaper today, although I really want to. Just don't have the time, at least not enough to make a really good wallpaper, like the ones I've been making. ... well, that's pretty much it. I need to go take a shower, so... ta! ~God Bless~

Happy Father's Day, Y'all!

So, what did you kiddies do for your daddies today? Hmm? My family went out to Red Robin's to celebrate. Oh my, I love that place. Clucks and fries are the best. Today has been good for other reasons than clucks and fries. My brother Kyle was gonna go to some stores, and he invited me to come along. Instantly, my thought was, "I might be able to get some manga!" Which I did. Twasn't Bleach, but it was the first volume of the .hack//legend manga. I strongly suggest that anyone who's seen the .hack//legend anime buy the manga. I only have volume one so far, but it's already so much better than the anime! The art was a little weird to me at first, but it's actually rather pretty. ^_^ Plus, more Mireille! YAY! Well, unfortunately, I was only able to make one wallpaper last Friday. BUT! It's a very cool wallpaper, one of Gilder. Hee, I told you I would make one of him if I ever got the chance! ^^ My one disappointment about how it turned out is I had to cut out parts of Gilder's right arm, for certain reasons. Otherwise, it's perfect! I must get to work on some wallpapers now. I hope you're all well. Ta! ~God Bless~

You like?

I changed my site's theme to dessert. What do you think? Is it making you drool this very moment? I think next, I might do a monkey theme... Later tonight, my brother Kyle is bringing his friend Matt over for some Halo! w00t! Actually, Matt's going to spend the night, which means lots of Halo for us! Yippee! So, I better finish all my online business before he comes (which I should be able to). I must make some wallpapers! It's been over a week since I've made anything, so I'll try to come up with three today. Heh, I have a few good ideas in mind, so we'll see what happens. v^.^ Man, I'm really craving some new manga right now. A new Bleach is supposed to be out this month, but I couldn't find it at the book store a few days ago (darnit!). Oh well... I'll just have to wait until I can go to the mall... Well, if I'm going to get started on those wallpapers, I better finish this up. Ta then! ~God Bless~

No, I'm not dead...

I just simply haven't been on for the past five days. I'm sorry if anyone was upset that I didn't get on to check your sites or whatnot. But, you might have to deal with this later on as well. It depends on my mood... and I have awful mood swings, so watch out! I've been okay the last five days. Certain things have made it good and bad. ~Good~ The unofficial Halo party was awesome, of course! I recognized a bunch of people from the last party I went to, and there were new people as well (including another girl, oh my! O.O). I even got my first taste of DDR there. Heh, and now I understand why it's so popular! It is fun, very much so. It reminded me of my old Flash Flash Revolution account. My, I hadn't been on there in months! It's all great fun, as well. Twas good to log on as Monkey-chan again. ^_^ Plus, that same day, my .hack soundtrack came! Wheet-whoo! Now I have all the anime soundtracks! And, once I play the .hack video games, I'll just have to buy the soundtracks to those! lol ~Bad~ A couple of days ago, I found out that a witch's coven is meeting at a church I used to go to back in California. It was very shocking, it's still so hard to believe. What's even worse is that my old Sunday school teacher is apparently heavily involved in it. That's the part that makes this so very hard on me. She was always so nice to us! After we moved to Washington, she continued to send us birthday and Christmas cards. Lately, she's been asking us to send some more personal information. I never had second thoughts about what her purpose was in getting that, but now I guess I know why. (Don't worry, we haven't sent her anything, and we definitely won't now.) I wonder... was she involved in the witch's coven, even back then? This just goes to show you; you can't always trust every Christian you meet. It's sad that it has to be that way, but it's true... tis part of the demonic workings of this world. Anyway, the only reason we know all this is because a good family friend of ours called my mom last Monday and told her about it. Her family has been under attack by these people; they've been following her children (who are both in college now), and they've just been harassed. It's so horrible, I wish I could do something for them. But, for now, I can only pray. Pray that no more of our friends down in CA will undergo this, and if they are already, that God will help them. My mom mentioned something about our family being spared, from having to go through all that. We moved to Washington about five years ago, and then we find out about this happening back where we used to live. I think God spared us, my family, from that. I hope you're all well. I'm off to check your sites now. Ta! ~God Bless~
