Was it really ok? It's never going to be...

"Wanna go to a Place" Gundam Seed Destiny 3rd Closing Theme
Today's picture theme is Burst Angel, requested by Statiquen .

Well, here I am everyone, doing my best to keep my promise of updating once a week. Now if I could just get myself to visit at the same time. Actually, Sundays are a pretty good day to do that, but today I was preoccupied getting ready to teach my jungle unit this week at the preschool. But you're not interested in that, are you? I hope to make myself some kind of schedule soon that includes spending more time here for the rest of the summer. I seem to have a lot more energy now that summer school has started. I want to (and so far am able to) do lots and lots of things with my days.

I've been watching and reading a lot of stuff this week. Harry Potter 5 (of course...), GSD episode 32-34 (made me soooo sad!), Tsubasa episode 9-10 (kinda dragged on a bit, but getting to an interesting part in the next one I think...), Midori Days episodes 1-5 (borrowed from AJ-kun ), Spiral episodes 9-12 (also borrowed from the same...), Batman Begins (went to it with my brother), Please Save My Earth vol. 3, Miracle Girls vol. 8-9 (all checked out from the library) CLAMP no Kiseki vol.2, and Shojo Beat vol.1 (mine!) Whew! That's a lot of stuff when you say it all together, but it was over a period of 7 days. I think I've gone back into absorption mode. I seem to vacillate between absorption (in which I study a lot of stories and art) and production (in which I make my own, duh...) so we'll see how much longer it lasts....

I seem to be using a lot of parentheses tonight, sorry if it's a bit confusing! I have had a good week, and I plan to have another one! Yes, I love Florida summer, even if it's hot and it rains every afternoon it's comforting in a way. It's the same summer it was 5 years ago when I was last here for it. And it's the same summer it was 10 years ago when I was babysitting Selena and AJ . And it's still the same summer it was 15 years ago when I was doing nothing but being a kid and running around. And so on and so forth....you get the idea. Tuesday is the official first day of summer so I guess I've just been thinking about how it's always the same.

Well, I hope everyone's summer is going well, and if you're still in school (I'm sorry!) you can finish up soon and get good grades! The next theme was suggested by Yami-chan . Have a great week everyone! *hugs*

You will never find true happiness, whatcha gonna do, cry about it?

"Your Horoscope for Today" by Weird Al Yankovic
Today's picture theme is Real Bout High School, requested by animegirl-11 .

That particular line is taken from the 'Taurus' portion of the song...my horoscope....if you're curious what yours says you can PM me, it's a really funny song. Thanks for all the theme suggestions this weekend minna-san! I really appreciate it, since, as you know I'm a lazy bum who doesn't want to think about what pictures to post on her own! Thanks for taking the time to visit too even though I haven't had much to talk about lately. That should all change soon as tomorrow summer school is starting up.

So, let's see...yesterday I went over to Selena and AJ 's for a while, did some other stuff...stayed up way too late...etc....yeah....So today when I finally woke up I just watched the Adult Swim shows from last night. I can't decide which is my new favorite. I've been looking forward to s.CRY.ed. for a really long time, but Samurai Champloo is really cool too! And then Paranoia Agent...wow....I can't get that phrase from the commercial out of my head! "Paranoia nurtures him...." Ahh....it's just so cool!

Hehe, ok I'll stop obsesseing. Anyway, the rest of this evening I spent watching some GSD. Yaya! It's been so long since I watched it and I missed it. I watched all that I had and I'm waiting for episode 32 to finish downloading so I'll be all caught up to the Japanese. I've also got Tsubasa episode 9 downloading so I can't wait to watch that. I hope it's a bit more exciting than the last two. I mean, they were good, but they seemed to be dragging on a bit at times.

I probably should go to bed early since I've got to get up early, but that's pretty much impossible considering how late I woke up, so now I'm just going to enjoy some ice cream and fanfics for a while. Ahhhh....summer....tomorrow's theme was suggested by Yami-chan . Have a great Monday everyone! *hugs*

I tried to give you up, but I'm addicted...

"Time is Running Out" by Muse
Today's picture theme is Vandread, requested by Alex-oto .

I don't know a lot about this anime, but I think it's pretty good. I am in need of more suggestions now my friends b/c I only have about 5 left on my list. Any ideas you have would be appreciated! Sorry I disappeared for a few days there, and sorry about the pessimistic tone of my last post, I think I was just a bit tired. Anyway, thanks for all your kind words about all that *hugs* I do appreciate it.

OK.........I was just on the phone with AJ-kun and he hung up on me! Actually...I think his cell phone must have died or something. We'll see....anyway, I've been having a nice week off. This is my only one and then summer school start. OK, his phone died, I was right. So, I spent most of the evening on the phone, but I was working hard during the day. I cleaned my apartment, did some work on ebay stuff...um.....oh, took Akemi-san to the store. Yeah....I guess that's it....

I got invited to go out for Oberi-chan's birthday next Friday. He's turning 11 and we're all going to Yamato! That's the Japanese restaurant I was talking about a while ago where they cook the food at the table in front of you. Last night Oberi and Bakura and I went bowling. It was so much fun! Bakura-chan had never been so he was a bit nervous, but he won the first game! It was so embaressing! I was like 'OK, I've just been beaten at bumper bowling by a six year old...fantastic!' But I won the other two times.

Well, I guess I'll get going, maybe try to visit some sites, we'll see.....tomorrow's theme was suggested by animegirl-11 . Have a great Saturday everyone! *hugs*

I feel the world revolves around me...

"The Hell That Is My Life" by Zebrahead
Today's picture theme is Figure 17, requested by animegirl-11 .

Well, thank you all for your nice comments yesterday. I am still feeling kind of like blah...but at least one really good thing happend today. I got my new car! Yaya! I went up to my mom's for dinner and her boyfriend put my new cd player in and I printed out my proof of insurance. I left my old car there and brought the new one back here. Now I just have to go get the tag tomorrow morning and it will be all legal and stuff.

I didn't do much today, but hey, it's a holiday, right? How was everyone's Memorial Day? I spent most of the day reading. Then I went up to my mom's and did laundry and we took a walk. After that I went to show Selena and AJ my new car. We came over here and watched Tsubasa episodes 7 and 8 so that was cool. I am starting to get annoyed with how slow that anime is moving though, and how they keep adding random stuff that never happened in the manga for no apparant reason.

I think these little girls are sooo cute! Though again, I've no idea what this anime is about...oh well! I'm sorry I wasn't able to visit a lot of people today, but I am trying I swear! I did better than usual actually...anyway, tomorrow I don't think I'm doing much either. Akemi-san still hasn't called me to babysit so....whatever. I'm not overly concerned about it as doing nothing is rather agreeable at the moment.

Tomorrow's theme will be my choice b/c I'm changing my theme for June/July so I'll be talking about that. Have a great Tuesday everyone! *hugs*

The sweeping insensitivity of this still life...

"Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap
Today's picture theme is...STAR WARS!!!!

Well...it appears that I have accumulated a rather sizeable debt thanks to this theme! Darke-nii wagered Three Pesos, 12 rubles, 5 dollars and three quid, and Yami-chan 5 bucks, 10 Yen, 20 pesos! I don't have that kind of money!

I suppose it was rather easy to guess though wasn't it? Hehe, oh well! I hope you guys don't mind me obsessing over it, I just can't help myself! Thanks for all your comments on my Sakura drawing. I really appreciate it! And if you didn't get to check it out yet, please do! Also, here's something funny that you must click on! My dad sent me this email today saying the following... "Ok, so every now and then you have to clean your computer screen. But, what about the inside of the screen, how do you clean that? Fortunately, there is now a website that does this remotely at no cost to you." Go ahead...click it, I promise you it's safe, and really cute!

Oh, something else really important that I forgot to tell you about yesterday....my mom got a new car! It's brand new! That's never happened before so it's really exciting. It's a Toyota Matrix and it seems really big to me, but she needs it. Anyway, what's really exciting about it is that now I get to have her old car (a Corolla) since mine is dying. Her boyfriend is even getting me a new cd player for it which is really cool of him since we don't really know each other that well. Anyway, hopefully I'll have it by Thursday or Friday, as soon as I can get my insurance transferred and get a tag for it. Yaya!

Everything will change....

"Brand New Colony" by The Postal Service
Today's picture theme...my birthday cards! Yaya! These first two came from AJ and Selena .

So today was fun, of course! We had the teacher appreciation lunch at the preschool and there was soooo much food! We will be eating that stuff till the end of the school year! Well, that's only 2 1/2 weeks, but still....anyway, after work I went to see my mom and go to the bank. Then I took a nap and went to Selena and AJ's where we had chicken duvon (with fake chicken!) and more ice cream cake! We also watched Kill Bill vol.1 (what I gave Selena-chan for her b-day yesterday) and it was awesome, as always. I didn't get to go out with Lauren after all since she was sick but we're gonna go on the weekend instead. These next two pics are from another pair of siblings, animegirl-11 and FinalFan1015 .

For my birthday today I got 3 cards from kids at school, one from Morgan-chan , one from Lauren, and one from all the teachers at the preschool. I also got $50 from my grandma, $40 from the preschool parents (though that and the flowers I got were really for teacher appreciation...) the new Nine Inch Nails cd from Selena, 4 packs of Dream Animals from her mom, and the Angelic Layer manga vol 1, a NERV shirt and a CLAMP cd from AJ. My dad's present was fixing the brakes on my car a while ago and my mom's is helping me pay for my new car (actually her car now......) so the only person I might still get something from is my aunt. Still all in all, I got some good stuff! This card is from Ishi-chan ...

...she also made me "friend of the day" on her site on my birthday! It was so sweet! This one is from darke-onichan !

Hehe, so cute! Well.......hm........as I have nothing else to talk about I will just say thanks again to everyone who sent me a card, or PM, mentioned me on their site, signed my GB, left a comment, etc. This has been a great birthday! Definitely much better than last year! So now I guess all that's left is personal thanks to everyone else who sent me stuff! This next one I actually got twice, from AJ and Kya-imouto .

These last three are from Number 5 , Badkitty172002 and Yami-chan !

This card actually came from my mommy! She complimented everyone on their card making skills around here too.

Of course I also have to include the Mother's Day card I got from Ruri-chan , my sweet little "daughter"!

So now I'm just staying up late putting some DBGT episodes on tape for Oberi and Bakura. They came back from NYC tonight and I missed them soo much! Tomorrow it's back to the requests, the theme was suggested by kagomeinuyashasit . Have a great Wednesday everyone! *hugs* Thanks again! I feel so loved!

Miraculously we had been able to face each other without awkwardness...

...from the Gundam Seed Destiny closing theme which, sadly, I have also forgotten the name of....I am really out of it right now, sorry. Today's picture theme is Chrono Crusade, requested by Yami-chan .

Wow....I'm really tired today! I guess that comes from sleeping in too many days in a row. Since I had to babysit tonight I couldn't take a nap so now I'm paying for staying up late 5 nights in a row. Oh well....I don't really mind that much, after all, you can sleep when you're dead! Anyway, tomorrow won't be too difficult since it's Wednesday and I found out I don't have to babysit on Thursday night this week. I will have to on both Friday and Saturday so that kinda sucks, but at least I will get 2 free afternoons during the week.

I got some more good news on the car today. My mom is already looking for her new one and she's hoping to get it when my grandma comes back from her trip to London. That's on May 6! That means I might even have my "new" one before my birthday! Wow! I can hardly believe it. It is a bit sooner than I would have liked to have to say goodbye to my little car though, I love him so much! I know, I know, I'm getting all emotional over a car, but it was the first one I ever got so I'm kind of attached to him. I am taking the cd player (I put it in there after all) and my Jedi Knight sticker so they will remind me of him at least.

So today since I got to stay home in the morning again I did some laundry, finished the Peach Fuzz drawing (finally!), and read my Angel Sanctuary vol. 7. It was great! I loved Michael, the angel of fire, he has this really cool tattoo of a snake-like dragon going up his neck and one side of his face. Then in the afternoon before picking up Oberi and Bakura I watched episodes 2-5 of Gundam SEED Destiny and.........wow! I love it! I think I already like it better than the original SEED in fact. I had a few minutes while waiting for Selena-chan to get ready for school to look up some info on it and I found that it's going to be just as long as the first series, about 49 or 50 episodes. I'm so glad about that!

Well, I guess I should wrap this up, Uzali-imouto , I have to go to bed now, but I'll write back as soon as I can, ok? Probably sometime tomorrow afternoon before you get home from school. Tomorrow's theme will be my choice, haven't done one in a while so......well, actually I'm doing it b/c I have something I'm obsessing over right now and I just have a feeling I'll be even more into it tomorrow. Can you guess what it is? Have a great Wednesday everyone! *hugs*

Even if this whirlpool of time that we've come across falters, I believe in your voice...

...from the Tsubasa opening theme...don't know what it's called yet, but damn I want that soundtrack! Today's picture theme is CLAMP no Kiseki, requested by AJ-kun .

This theme is very fitting since the 12th is the release date for the English version of the first volume (pictured above) and if you're wondering just what this is....it's something like a monthly anthology (well....bimonthly for us unfortunately) that will have 12 issues. Each one contains art for 1-3 of CLAMP's mangas as well as interviews and other stuff. It also comes with 3 chess pieces that are CLAMP characters! I preordered mine from Tokyopop.com so I hope it comes tomorrow! AJ already has the first 7 volumes, but they're in Japanese. You can also get a file box to keep all the magazines in that comes with the special CLAMP chess board! Not that I particularly like chess, but they make really cool looking figures! Here's the cover of the second volume...

OK, now I can say what I've been holding in for the last 2 paragraphs....I WATCHED TUSBASA!!!!!!! AHHHHH!!! It was sooooo beautiful!! I can't get over it! Here's a link to the promo for the series (from before it came out) I wish I could show you all the whole first episode, but unfortunately my hosting site doesn't have quite that much space! Anyway, please watch it, ok? And before you say "Hey, those people look like Cardcaptor Sakura!" That's because they're the same people! Amazing, isn't it? Here's the fifth volume cover and the chess pieces that come with it....

Hmmm....so what else did I do today? Nothing of importance really, just worked and was lazy. Oh, a funny thing happened while I was working at after school care though. Chise cut a part of her hair off! It was all one length (just below her chin) and she cut the "bangs" on one side about an inch shorter! Ilisa and I kept telling her not to but a 10 year old with scissors is a dangerous thing! Anyway, after she did it she started freaking out that her mom would get mad so I offered to fix it up a bit. I ended up trimming the other side to match and then angling them a little bit so it blended better with the rest of her hair. It looked pretty good if I do say so myself! Hehe, and then when her mom came to pick her up she asked, "So, how was your day?" and Chise-chan said, "It was very.....cutting...." and we all cracked up laughing!

That last one was the vol. 6 cover and chess pieces. Hikaru and Ashura, my favorites!Tomorrow's theme was suggested by Darke-onichan and let me say now that yes, he did request it, and no I'm not an ego maniac. You'll see why.....have a great Tuesday everyone! *hugs*

Once you know you can never go back

"Otherside" by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Today's picture theme is FLCL, requested by Black Mage Tbow .

Wow, I almost had a heart attack for a minute there! I got home tonight around midnight and my cable was out! I was like, "Nooooooo!" I need my cable for like, watching and stuff, not to mention using the internet! But, it's all good, it's an hour later now and it's working again. I just read my Kill Me, Kiss Me vol.2 for a while and when I checked back everything was fixed. Whew! I am going to work on my new theme, but not till I wake up tomorrow, just not motivated at 1am for some reason....

We had a lot of bad weather today, very rainy and such. I liked it though. I tend to like that kind of weather, as long as I don't have to be out in it for too long. I don't mind being in the rain very much, but being inside is still better. I finally got my first Newtype in the mail. I ordered the subscription back in August or something ridiculous like that, got the bill a couple months later, didn't pay it till the end of January...so...yeah...now I'm finally getting the magazines in the mail. It's a good thing I have stuff to read though b/c I don't think I'll be able to draw all weekend what with my sliced up finger and all. It pretty much sucks.

Wow, I don't really have a lot to post about, yet again....that's weird....I won't be posting every day next week though so then I'll think of some stuff. Since my cousins are coming down from Delaware (tomorrow actually....) I may not get to post Monday night b/c we are going to Sea World or somewhere. Then on Wednesday night I'll be in Tallahassee on the 4th grade field trip. That will be an adventure...As soon as we get back on Thursday I have to sleep over with Oberi and Bakura again, but just for one night so it won't be too much stress.

Well, I guess that's it really. Thank you all for the comments yesterday. I'm going to go to sleep now b/c I think I may be coming down with a small cold again. Tomorrow's theme was suggested by Yami-chan . Have a great weekend everyone! *hugs*

For you I bleed myself dry....

"Yellow" by Coldplay...one of my favorite songs of theirs!
OK, lots of pics today because...I feel like it! First, Nagi, (the kitten that I found and gave to my brother) with Hippo, Selena-chan 's bunny!

Aren't they so cute?? There was one where they were jumping on each other but it didn't come out...

Well, I had an ok day today I guess...I'm really tired even though I got to sleep in. I was supposed to go out to eat for my brother's birthday (geez this birthday just keeps on going doesn't it?) with my dad and him, but they were going to Red Lobster. I didn't eat fish before I became a vegeterian so now there's really nothing there I want besides plain salad! I was really tired too, but I kinda felt bad about skipping out. Oh well...here's one more of Nagi (actually Tim renamed him Yoda....) with the gummy rat that Akemi and Mokuba brought me from Sweden. It's still in my fridge...

Oh yeah, all of those were in AJ-kun 's room. The rest of the pics are just drawings that I didn't want to submit to fanart for one reason or another. Oh, I have another new one, it's Milk-chan ! But she's just in pencil so be kind, ok? Oh, if you missed the one from yesterday here's the link again....Sakura . Next I have to draw Venusaur for Oberi-chan. He asked me a long time ago but I was working on that last one for several weeks and then I got sick and then....yeah....anyway, I'm getting to it at last.

Super Sailor Moon, one of my best drawings ever I think, but it was too big for the scanner. Well, it looks like I'll be babysitting 2 weekends in a row. Akemi-san told me today that they have to take their photography students on a trip to NYC the 11th-13th so I will need to stay with the boys then too. Hehe, I make it sound like some kind of chore, but it's really not. I mean, sure it's work, but they're easy to take care of and I get lots of money for it! Yaya! I think it may be bad that I love money so much....but I don't guess there's much I can really do about it at this point. I'm not overly concerned with the sin of greed bringing me down. It's not like I steal peoples money or anything so I'm probably ok, heh heh....

Athrun, just a pencil sketch so it came out kinda pale...hm...I don't actually have a lot to talk about here....I watched the second Harry Potter movie tonight. I think it's my least favorite. The third is definitely the best, and the first is just...I dunno, the second seemed very unrealistic in movie form. I'm halfway throught the 3rd book now (for the second time!) and I have a bad feeling that I'm gonna finish all 5 waaay before the 6th one comes out in July. I'm trying to read only one chapter a day, and only on school days, but even at that rate I think I'm gonna finish sometime in May! Waaah! Then I will be having serious withdrawls!

This little thing is from Nurse Witch Komugi but I don't know anything about it. I just thought it was cute so I drew it! Well, I'm sorry if I didn't get to visit your site today, but I did manage quite a few I think...anyway, I hope you are all having a great week! Tomorrow's theme was requested by AJ-kun !
