   Giant Giant Pandas!

I'M HUGE!!! Lesson 3: Giant Pandas are really Giant Pandas! Ok, so maybe not, but they think they are! This sign is trying to tell us that pandas often think they are bigger and badder than they really are. It's really hard to be intimadating when you are so flippin' cute! What we need to understand is when a panda acts "larger than life" we all just need to humor the panda and go along with it. This way the panda doesn't have hurt feelings. ~_^ I am having a bit of a flare up with my RA, going to have to keep this update short since my hands hurt. :( But I do have time for a Bishie Break! Winged X bishie goodness. ^_^ Question of the day: How tall are you? Are you tall compared to your friends? Are you tall compared to the other members of your family? I am short. I am only 5'2" tall (BTW giant pandas average 5ft tall, so I am the average panda!!). I am short compared to my friends. They are all about 5'6" or taller. John is 5'10". It must be nice to be tall. ::pouts:: My family is all pretty short though. My dad is 5'4" and my mom is 4'11" and my brother is 5'8". I am not sure why he got to be so tall...it just isn't fair! :P Well, you guys take care and I will chat with you later. Love ya all! ::huggles::

   Enter the Panda Matrix!

Just call me Neo. Today's lesson, pandas have abilities that the normal person does not possess. Most of these abilities are only in their dreams so it's not like you really have to worry...unless you find yourself in a panda's dream! Use extreme caution when confronting a panda in their dreams. You don't want a Panda to go Matrix all over you!! ~_^ The week is off to a sluggish start for me. I am having problems getting motivated. I need to get some writing done but I just don't feel like doing it. It is like having that essay you need to finish but you just can't get yourself to crank it out. Ugh. At least I got a good chuckle thinking up something to put up about this particular Panda sign. It made me think of James for some strange reason...hmm, I wonder why? :P So, I guess I need to do something productive...eventually...when I get around to it. ::sigh:: Might as well continue this procrastination with a little Bishie Break! Tamahome....Fushigi Yugi bishie goodness. ^_^ Now for your question of the day. Since today's lesson had a Matrix feel to it, I think the question should kinda match. Have you ever "Googled" yourself? What I mean is, have you ever put your name in a seach engine, such as Google, to see if you show up? How many pages was it before you found yourself? For me I was quite suprised. When I typed in my name I was the 1st three entries in Google. Pretty cool huh. ^_^ Of course there aren't many Gail Shimura-Brightbill's out there in the world so I guess it's kinda expected. :P There is another Gail Brightbill and she shows up first in Google when you type in that name. But number 1 when you type in Gail Shimura!! Woo Hoo! That is about it for this update. I guess I should try to get some work done. Hope you are all having a great day and don't forget to have fun. Take care and see you all around! Love ya! ::huggles::

   Time to learn about pandas!

What a cute little panda girl...er...woman! As I promised we are going to have a lesson on panda signs. This is to help you in your daily lives as you come across these signs. We are going to start out with the basics. You can identify a female panda because she has eyelashes and a perfectly plump figure. This is not to be confused with male pandas. Oh whatta man! Male pandas can be identified by their stylish black bowtie. It makes them look very dapper. ^_^ In the event you see these signs you may be in an area what male and/or female panda frequent. Be sure to keep your eyes open and gift of bamboo ready! Ah, now that we have the basics down we will move on to more advanced panda signs tomorrow. Thank you for your attention. Now, let us have a moment for a bishie break! What a cutie! Don't you just want to huggle him!! Now for your question of the day. Have you ever mistaken someone for the wrong gender? How did you find out what gender they really are? Oh, and babies don't count. :P The only one I can think of for sure was Mana from Malice Mizer. Heck, you can't blame me, he looks better in a dress than most women do! I found out after learning more about the band that he was a guy. Oh well. I hope you all had a great weekend and your week only gets better. I am looking forward to the weekend since I get to go to Kumoricon!! Woo Hoo! Love ya all! ::huggles::

   THWAP!! THUD!! THUMP!!

If a panda falls in the forrest, does it make a sound? I apologize to all of you who I didn't make it to your sites in the past few days. Things have been just a bit...well...looney. I did get some to spend some time with my mom which was really nice. We went and got our hair done, shopping and then out to lunch. It was a very fun day. To top it off my dad decided to take us out to dinner! Woo Hoo! Two meals I didn't have to cook! It was a nice mini vacation from the kitchen. I feel like I live in there doing dishes!! Starting tomorrow I am going to have a bit of a theme to my posts. Panda Warning Signs. I am going to tell you guys what the signs really mean. This will all make sense tomorrow when I start posting them. I think you guys will like them. ^_^ I think it is time for a special bishie break! For all you Sesshoumaru fan girls. Enjoy! As you all know, I am not the most agile panda in the world. My question of the day relates to this. Have you ever fallen down in a public place surrounded by people? Did you recover quickly or were you hurt? How embarrassing was it? For me the most public and embarrassing place I fell down was in between classes in high school during the winter. I slipped in a puddle and fell outside my Calculus class. It wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't make such a loud THWAP! when I hit the ground....and gotten my entire backside wet...and knocked the wind out of myself....AND in front of my big brother's really cute friends...Oh bother, it was just bad. Hey, did you hear that? Sounded like a panda fell. I hope the weekend is going great for everyone. I will do my best to make it to everyones sites today. Unless I have fallen and can't get up. :P Love ya all! ;;huggles::

   So sorry everyone!

Just too tired. Do to a lack of energy, upset tummy and complete loss of interesting topics to discuss I am not doing big post today. I know, I know...it's hard to believe there isn't going to be a Panda update. Not to worry, there will be one tomorrow! I will leave you with a question: What is your favorite anime or game villian? What makes this particular villian your favorite? Mine would have to be Kougaiji from Saiyuki since he does have a soft side to him. He loves his little sister and his friends are important to him. He would do anything to protect them, I really like that quality. The fact that he is really bishie-licious doesn't hurt either. ~_^ He can't be all that bad...he's so cute! I will try to make it to all the sites I missed yesterday. Thanks everyone. Love ya all. ^_^ ::huggles::

   Panda Questions Answered!!

Think, think, think...must answer many questions! -Sara's Question: If your favorite animal weren't pandas (I guess I'm assuming it is, heh), what would it be? My favorite animal would be the hippo. Why the hippo? Why not the hippo! They do that cute little ear flapping thing. Did you know that the baby hippo can eat up to 60 lbs of food a day? That's a lot of hippo chow! -ChibiSherube484's Question: Why do you like Sanzo so much?! I have always been attracted to tall blonde men. There is just something about Sanzo's bad boy attitude that I find very attractive. What girl doesn't want a bad boy in her life?! ~_^ Bishie goodness....yummy. -sailor firestar's Question: Are you more of a cat or dog person? I have 2 of each in my home. I love both cats and dogs since they each have their great points. Answering from a veterinary tech view point I prefer dogs since they seem to take exams and being handled much better than cats do. I have a wonderful collection of scars from cats that didn't want to be at the vet clinic! -BankofKev Questions: How are you feeling? I am feeling ok. Not the best since my meds just got changed but feeling better since I don't have to take those nasty chemo injections anymore!! Woo Hoo!! Just takin' it easy. -Where's my BankofKev Panda mascot fan art? I am still trying to figure out something really cool. Not to worry my dear BOK, John has some great art work he made for ya. ~_^ -Why do you park in a driveway and drive on a parkway? It is the same reason when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it's called cargo. -If a guy with a idea came up to you would you listen? No, that is why I hang out with you so you will deal with him. :P -How will you stop the furry conspriacy? Stop it? I am going to join it! You know those hair club for men commercials..if having a full head of hair you will be incredibly happy...imagine what an entire furry body would mean?!? I can live an active, worry free lifestyle as a furry!!! -Have you any H.O.B.O. encounters? Yes, oh to the horror, yes. The worst had to be at Sakura-con in '03. I was standing in line to get into the dealer room and some nasty HOBO walked by and I swear it was like some cheesy cartoon. As the cloud of stink floated by each person covered their noses and let out a painful gasp. If we were all flowers we would have all turned brown, shriveled up and died! -Mimmi's Question: Have you always been this wonderful ? I am what I am. I like making my friends happy since it really makes me feel good. Plus Mimmi, you know what they say, birds of a feather...~_^ -Kid Blader's Questions: Whose ur fav. anime/manga coupling? I have to say that I really liked Meier Link and Charlotte in Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. There is just something very romantic about their forbidden love. -And if your life could be like any anime/manga what would it be? This is really a tough question. Many anime/manga seem too violent and dangerous for me. I would have to say Chobits. I wouldn't mind having a Persocom to do my housework for me...that would be cool. ^_^ -And what anime/manga IS your life REALLY like? I would have to say my life is most like .Hack, in the sense that I spend a lot of time online. I am a mod to a couple of message boards. I really have a major online life. -CoLoR Me EviL's Question: How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood??!! A woodchuck would chuck all the wood a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. ^_^ -Number 5's Question: How come you don't have a question today? I was a dry well of questions yesterday....that and I am really lame. -blackwings' Questions: How many cons do you go to per year? I have to say the average of 2 a year. I am going to try to make it to more in the next few years. ^_^ This year I missed Sakura-con, made it to Anime Expo and on Labor Day Weekend I am going to Kumoricon! Cons are so much fun! -And how do you get ready for so many? I pack comfy clothes, my camera and get read to spend all the spare money in my bank account that I had been saving up in between cons. -Shin's Question: Can I have a cookie? Yes, help yourself! -hEvN's Question: Can the anime screening start already? Yes, right now Trigun is on. Remember...this world is made of Love and Peace! -Mamma Vash's Question: What are your favorite things to cook or bake ? My all time favorite is teriyaki chicken. I make my own sauce that has been a recipe that has been passed down in my family for generations. It's really REALLY yummy. ^_^ -pugawasunfa's Questions: Where do u get all the pictrues from? The pictures I collect are from the web, friends and some I take myself. ^_^ -Plus how do u get the words for pictures so that u can like put them on for wallpaper? I am not too sure what you are asking here but if you are taking about the fonts I use in my banners and stuff I get them from differnt online free font sites then use Photoshop to make my banners and stuff. Hope that is the answer you are looking for. ^_^ I think that was all of the questions...now, your question of the day! What is the all-time worst movie you had to suffer through? If given $10, would you watch it again? If not, how much money would it take to get you to watch it again? For me the worst movie I have watched was this terrible 70's movie called Dolomite. It was absolutely awful. Put it this way, when the tape went into the VCR about half way through the VCR had enough. It stopped and spit the tape out. All the way out, onto the floor! It was the one and only tape it ever spit all the way out. LOL Well, I guess that is about it. This actually turned into a fairly long post. ^_^ Great questions everyone. Hope you are all having a great day and it turns into a great weekend. Love ya all! ::huggles::

   Happy, Happy Birthday Baron Samedi and Mimmi!!

Happy Birthday Baron and Mimmi! I want to make a special note that the 24th was Baron Samedi's and Mimmi'sbirthdays!! Let's all have some delicious birthday cake to celebrate their special day! ::throws confetti:: I know my post is going to show a day late...but you all know that I am terrible about remember birthdays so you have to cut me some slack! :P Today was a great day. I got more writing done and my new glasses came in. I really like them. The frames are silver and kind of an oval shape. I will have to get a pic of me in my new specs to share with you guys. I am just happy to have new glasses. My old pair have a prescription from about 10 years ago!! I have been updating my contacts but not my glasses since I don't wear my glasses much. I am very happy about these new glasses. Pandas make passes at bishies in glasses! Because of my new specs, I feel inspired to asked about everyones vision. How is your vision? Is it really good or really bad? Do you have to wear glasses or contacts? I normally wear contact lenses and glasses only at night after I take the contacts out. But now that I have my new snazzy specs I think I will wear my glasses more often. Also with the new prescription I can actually see and drive safely with my glasses. Before my old glasses would be unsafe for me to drive. I am very happy about them! ^_^ Have some more food! It's a birthday celebration! Thanks for stopping by and be sure to visit Baron Samedi's site and Mimmi's site to wish them a very happy birthday. I love you all and I hope you are all having a great week. ^_^ ::huggles::

   Busy, Busy, Busy!

MUST...FINISH...WRITING...PROJECTS!!! I have been very busy today writing. It has been a very productive day for me today. The only bad thing is because I have been writing all day I am at a loss as to what to write about right now. I guess that means it's time for a Bishie Break! Saiyuki...need I say more?! Snack foods. John and I were at the mini mart picking up some snacks and we were feeling a bit overwhelmed by the massive amount of snack foods available. So my question of the day is - What is your favorite snack food? My favorite snack food right now are yogurt covered pretzels. Salty and sweet. Yummy. Of course if you ask me again later it will probably be something different depending on what my mood is. :P Oh so cute! Well, hope you are all having a great week so far. Take care and thanks for stopping by. Love ya all! ::huggles::

   Bedtime Bear.

zzzzzz... So very sleepy. Today was just one of those lazy summer days that you just want to stay in bed all day. It was raining on and off and it's all grey outside. Just a bit gloomy. John and I have been watching a video tape from Japan of a bunch of different shows and some anime. We are in the middle of watching Tonari no Totoro (My Neighbor Totoro) right now. It's really cute. Since it is from Japan, no subtitles so I translate for John. He loves the commercials they have on the tape. They really are pretty funny. All and all, it has been a good day. Watching anime, napping, and for dinner we are having homemade curry. Yummy! Let's have a Bishie Break! Eiri...what wonderful bishie goodness! ~_^ My question of the day is inspired by Tonari no Totoro. What is your favorite Miyazaki film? Is it My Neighbor Totoro? Castle in the Sky? Spirited Away? Princess Mononoke? Kiki's Delivery Service? Or is it one of his other works? I would have to say that Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi (Sprited Away) is my favorite. I just love all the different gods and spirits that frequent the bathhouse. The characters are so colorful I just love it. Sen is so cute too. ^_^ Thanks for stopping by and reading my ramblings. I love all the comments and appreciate all the get well wishes. I know it is because of you that I am feeling better. ^_^ You guys are the best. Because of you guys myO has reached yet another milestone.... Hooray! I made it to the top 50 myO sites! Thanks for visiting and being such great friends. I love you all. ::huggles::
