Nothing really...
I'm going to watch my DVDs as soon as my time limit online is up...which is in about half an hour...I'm on earlier than expected...but this is a one-week thing, I think...so anyway...just read the last post, this one is boring, and the other one was intereting ^^
Take care!

*hugs everyone, dances with random people who visit the site*
FINALLY!! NO MORE TESTING!! I don't know how well I did, but it's over now! And to top it all off, a 3-day weekend because of Memorial Day!
I also have 301 visits 59 GB signatures (1 more till 60!), and my site ranking is 4190! I'm doing fairly well for not even being here a year...well, at least, that's what I think...hehe, onii-chan (Silvereagle), lytjuh-san, Mangus-san, and Reno-san are much, much higher than I am, but...^^'
Well, now that my rant is over (or is it? o-O) ^^'
Let's be somewhat serious...
Well, my teacher is becoming obsessive now...we've been writing letters to our Representatives to get this bill passed (If anyone gives her a hard time, she can always honestly say that we're practicing citizenship skills...^^')
So anyway...there's going to be a rally in support of the bill next Wednesday...and guess where she wants us to be? Yup, there helping...well, we'll be missing a few classes, it's free, and we've been using our time in her class coming up with slogans to put on posters we'll be carrying around, so I'm not complaining ^^ Anyway, it would be cool if we did get it passed, it would help our school out a lot...there might be reporters and newspapers at the rally, too, and that would be awesome to be in the news...although I'm a bit camera shy...^^'
So anyway...about 17 days left of school for me...and believe me, I'm counting the MINUTES! Don't get me wrong, I'm really going to miss my friends, and there are some things, *shudder* Dare I say it, I'll miss about my school, but I really want to just GET OUT! I want almost 2 months of relative FREEDOM!! (Relative only because I mustn't forget chores like taking out the trash, mowing the grass, washing dishes, etc)
Alright...so, from what I understand from the comments, everyone likes my new theme? ^^ I'm glad to hear it!
Well, I'm halfway through Ah! My Goddess, and I still need to watch Final Fantasy, the Cowboy Bebop movie, and my Saiyuki DVD...Did I tell everyone that I got the wrong DVD?
I ordered Saiyuki Vol. 1 on Amazon...I got it sometime last week...I look at it, and I watched the opening theme to be sure...it's the "Reload" version, which, from what I understand, is some sort of second series...T-T It wasn't listed as the second series, so I didn't know...I mean, of course I'll watch it...I mean, Saiyuki's Saiyuki! But I have to admit, I was kind of disappointed...anything like that ever happen to any of you?
On that note, I'll have that be my question, and I'll go into the comments on comments and such.
Alright, well, I noticed no one really seemed to care for the song lyrics, so I'm taking them out...they'll make my posts a bit shorter - if you want me to keep them, let me know in your comment, if I don't get any requests, I'll keep them off...
So, comments on comments:
First of all, I wanted to say that I was so touched by everyone's seemingly heartfelt assurances that I wasn't at all irritating...*sniffles, hugs everyone*
And can ANYONE hear my music? I can't, and none of my non-theO friends can, either...if no one can, I'm taking it off, because all it seems to do is just make my site take longer to load...
Magnus Lensherr - Don't worry about not visiting, everyone has compy troubles sometimes...God knows I certainly have enough for everyone! ^^ And thanks, things do seem to have already gotten a bit easier!
Flowerkiss - Haha, PACKRATS UNITE!! *holds up crappy plastic ring she's pacratted away, connects it with matching one on your finger* Well, I'm glad to know at least you will ALWAYS be able to read my posts, and will never complain about the font or color! ^^
Reno - It's okay, I was just a bit freaked out...I've never had someone just...vanish like that, it scared me a bit ^^' And...you and your friends weren't drunk? You seemed a bit flushed...maybe it was just since you'd been moving around so much? ^^
Well, allow me to apologize for not posting in forever, I was planning on doing it Monday, but plans changed very abruptly and I was yanked offline...And to Eagle-san, who I was talking to, and who was expecting me to be back on again, but I wasn't able to - so sorry *bows*
Well, take care, everyone!
Ja!

Hello again!
I've missed you all! Sorry I haven't updated or visited in forever, I promise I'll try to be more on top of things from now on...especially since summer's approaching fast...I still have almost a month before school lets out, but after a little bit of testing next week, everything should get a little easier, or at least easier to manage...
Well, like I've told a few of you, I got quite a bit accomplished while I was away - I completely cleaned out and semi-organized my room! I had to take out my trash 4 or 5 times, and a few other garbage cans full of stuff I'd packratted away ^.^' It took me about 3 hours or so...it amazed me how much crap I could fit into my tiny little room ^^' But now I can see my floor! (Haha, there's a little lesson about me, I'm terribly messy...I feel better around clutter, haha)
Well, I've heard from a few people (that aren't on theO) that I've had visit, like a few friends, that it's hard to read the writing...I know that you could always highlight everything, but I want to make it easier for everyone to read, so I'm going to see if I can figure out how to put that text box around the posts like I did before...I'm not quite sure how I did it, but I'll try to figure it out...in the meantime, I'm changing my theme...I'm not sure what it will be yet...maybe Ghost in the Shell, I've become rather fond of that lately...or Samurai Champloo?
Well, onto anime news for me: I watched 3 out of 6 DVDs on Friday - Ghost in the Shell, the movie, the first DVD of a series called Haibane Renmei (Anyone into that series, it seems pretty good so far, if not a little...lacking in action...I think it would make a good RPG ^^ In almost every scene, I was imagining how it could be made into an RPG...I tend to do that for a lot of anime now, I wonder what's up with me...^^') and another Lupin III movie, something like Fujiko's unlucky days...I had to stop halfway through because the subtitles were so broken and slow that I couldn't understand what was going on...this is why I need to learn Japanese -_-'
Well, as for Reno, I found him on my friends list again...I'm either going blind or insane...or possibly both ^^' In either case, I'm going to visit him again, since I haven't in a while...
One more rant, then just the song lyric, question, and comments on comments, then I promise I'm done...hehe, seems I'm back to the long posts again, ne? ^^'
Hehe, I stayed up to watch Samurai Champloo again, and fell asleep halfway through Cowboy Bebop...I tried to stay awake, but I fell asleep, then woke up at the VERY end, right before the ending theme, then fell asleep before the next episode preview...I'm currently functioning on 5 hours of sleep, so...
Anyway, to the point, Jin doesn't seem to be having a good month...first, there was the gay man in the hot springs, and now this...He had to dress up as a woman to get into a brothel...poor Jin, yet he's still awesome! ^^
Alright, turns out I don't have as much time as I thought I did (My friend's dad is coming to pick me up in a few minutes so we can finish up this last project), so I'll skip the lyric and the comments on comments and go right to the question...
Do you guys find me annoying/irritating/infuriating?
Please be honest
Well, I may need to hold off on changing the theme....crap...well, I'll talk to you all later!
Take care!
Ja!

WHOA!
Where's Reno?? Does anyone know? He vanished from my friends list, and when I tried to search him, it said no user was found! Do any of his other friends know what's going on?
I'm kinda worried here, he hadn't updated or visited in a while, and when I went to check if he had recently...he was gone!
Can anyone tell me?
Well, that's really all today, take care!
Ja!

Hi, everyone!
Not much to post today, really, so just read the last post...umm...well, I got a lot of HW done today, including the last essay for our final project in Language Arts. I have a little bit more, but I have study hall tomorrow, where I'm always bored because we're not supposed to talk (tee-hee, doesn't stop me from trying, I've gotten in trouble for talking too many times to count...and not just in study hall ^.^')
Well, that's all for me today, just a comment on a comment, and an additional note to the person that commented...
Eagle-san - Glad you like the theme, but why is it evil? Vampires? Hmm...Well, I'll try to relax if you do! ^^
Look at that, a short post...this is my first one in a while ^^
Take care, everyone!
Ja!

Well, pretty good day today...
I would have gotten on yesterday, but I was really busy, and I'm still fairly busy, but I've found some time to get around to some stuff I should have, like cleaning the house and things like that...
Well, last night I got the Ghost in the Shell movie, the Cowboy Bebop movie, and another Lupin movie...I haven't watched any of them yet, I haven't gotten the chance...I'm still waiting to watch a DVD I got on Friday, and the DVDs I got over spring break....*sigh*
I need to find more time to watch DVDs other than Hellsing...haha, well, I'm letting a friend borrow it tomorrow, so hopefully, I'll get the time to watch a few between then and the time she gives it back.
Hmm...well, I'm changing the theme, but I'm not sure what it'll be...so it'll be a surprise for all of us...It'll probably still be a vampire theme, because I'm stuck there for a little while, especially since I just got a whole bunch of new songs that have lyrics pertaining to vampires and a bunch of new vampire pictures X3
Well...
Oh, yeah, I have a new song that I am in love with, called "Dance In My Blood" by Men, Women, and Children...I love it so much, but I can't find the lyrics anywhere...if someone could find them for me, I'd appreciate it! ^^
I had a whole bunch of things I wanted to post, but I forget now...-_-'
Well, I had testing today on the computer, and I have it again on Thursday...tomorrow, we have to do some drug survey thing at school...kinda ridiculus, but whatever works...I'm missing science, so I'm happy ^^
I also have to take a placement test for the local HS, even though I'm not going...everyone has to take it, even though less than half are going there...hmm...it's a waste of class time, we really need to cover a lot of stuff in less than a month, because there's a lot we don't know...oh, man, the pressure's coming...-_-'
Well, I don't have time for comments on comments or lyrics today, I'm sorry *bows* Forgive me.
I'll let the lyric quest serve as the question! ^^
Take care, everyone! (Hey, be happy, this post is short!)
Tell me what you think of the theme, there's a semi-question if you can't find the lyrics! ^^
Ja!

Hi everyone, if this post doesn't make sense it's because it's early....
Ooh, REALLY long title ^^ It's about 7:45 AM on a Sunday...and here I am posting...because I won't get the chance to until much later, but I want to get this out of the way...I'll visit after I post this, because I don't want to forget to post...I've done that before ^^'
Well, first and foremost - Happy Mother's Day! I don't know how many of you out there are mothers, but I'm betting there aren't too many. Have fun with your mom today, or if you don't like your mom, go hang out with your friend's mom! ^^ (That's not what I'm doing, don't worry ^^')
Haha, I don't know how many of you watched AS last night, or of those how many stayed up long enough to see Samurai Champloo...I did, but I couldn't do it for Bebop *bows* Sorry, Bebop ^^'
Anyway, I want to have a quote from that episode instead of a lyric today *hears collective sigh of relief from the readers* ....-_- Actually, it's more like a short conversation...in fact, that's exactly what it is ^^
The setting: Jin and some old guy (who is actually an assassin (sp?) in a hot springs...Just as a note, Jin was there first ^^
Old guy: Do you know why fireflies light up like that? It's a form of communication between them, they light up to attract the opposite sex. For example, males light up to attract females. However...*looks at Jin* sometimes, male fireflies have been known to try to attract another male...
Jin: *climbing out* Time to go...
Samurai Champloo, Episode 2
I thought that was HILARIOUS...maybe I'm giving it too much credit, but, my, my that was funny ^^
Alright, well that's done, time for comments on comments *cheap music plays*
Magnus Lensherr - I'm sorry, if I didn't have a phobia and I wasn't afraid it would crawl all over everything, I wouldn't have killed the spider...but I do, and I was, and so I did. Make no mistake, I don't kill everything, and I only kill spiders if they're anywhere near my food or my bed...or if they can get there in a relatively short period.
Well, glad to hear my posts aren't too long...you seem to be the only one who answered, so...^^'
Reno - Glad to hear you like my site, and don't feel bad about not visiting, sometimes I do it too...in fact...I do it fairly often, and usually people aren't mad at me...*dry cough* Are they?
Yami's Pharaohess - *hides behind you* SAVE ME FROM THE SPIDERS!! How about this, I'll take Ba-kun, and you take the spiders? ^^ I'm not afraid of Ba-kun, I love him X3 And about the research...*ahem* Well, let's just say I did what I could...^^'
Flowerkiss - Haha, you are a truly brave soul for squashing all those spiders...I couldn't do it, I'd run away crying...I'm such a wimp *gloom*
Haha, okay, now for the question...
Let's see....Ah, I've got it
How many of your friends are into anime/manga? This isn't counting theO friends, unless you know them offline. I'm talking classmates, buddies, even siblings.
I only have 2 or 3 friends that are really truly into anime and manga, and another 2 or so that watch anime, but don't watch it because it's anime...they're the kind that don't really mind it...they don't like it, but they don't dislike it either. Then I have the majority, who think it's stupid and make fun of it and...*gasp* the people in it...They've been trying so hard to get me away from anime by distracting me with music and awesome guys that make that music (Pete, just as an example ^^), but I'm still holding on! ^^
Well, only one more thing - my self-declared onii-chan, Ken-kun, informed me he was going to let me borrow a few new DVDs, namely the Cowboy Bebop movie, the Ghost in the Shell first GIG, Samurai Champloo, Trigun (yay, I can finally watch the series without trying to get up at 2 AM on weekdays!), another Lupin III movie, and .Hack//Sign (fogive me if I spelled or punctuated that wrong, I've never been into it because I haven't had the chance, so...)
Well, that's all from me for today, I'm off to visit everyone...or try to in the little time I have, I have to leave in about 20 minutes to take my mom to breakfast ^^
Take care, everyone! Ja!

*nurses finger*
Odd title, I know, but...
I, like several others, have arachnaphobia (sp?), which is a deadly fear of spiders...of course, it doesn't help that it's been proven there's always a spider within a 3-5 ft. radius of you, so...>_>
Anyway, to the point...I've only been able to kill 3 spiders in my entire life, and only because I was going to sleep or eat or sit near it. Usually, though, I have someone else do it, on most occcasions my mom, since she's the only one around when I see them most of the time (coincidence...? o-O Haha, just kidding) Well, I saw one on the wall when I was coming to get online to post here ^^ I screamed and ran upstairs (Tripping in the process, breaking a nail *not preppy, not preppy, not preppy >_>* and brusing that finger...didn't slow me down, though, haha ^^') to tell her...and she said she was too tired and had a headache, for me to do it...after finally being persuaded to try, I had to try 4 TIMES to kill it...whenever I would go for it (My heart was pounding like crazy, by the way, I could feel the blood in every vein in my body...sort of creepy, but that's what they do to me...), the stupid thing would fall, and then I'd scream and run away, only to see it catch itself on its little stringy thing...stupid thing did that 3 times, and I fell for it every time...(Note: Don't I feel intelligent, outsmarted by a spider -_-') Finally, I picked up a shoe (my mom's ^.^') and smacked it...it fell, but this time, it didn't catch itself...I did a sort of scaredy-cat victory dance, then was too afraid to pick it up, so my mom said she'd do it later ^^'
Well, now that my escapade of the day has been documented for future generations to laugh at...^^'
I was up late last night, and I was online, taking quizzes on theO and blogthings...I tend to do that when I'm bored...I visited everyone who updated last night *nods proudly* I'm a good girl X3
So, here's the lyric of the day, pulled from a random song, hurray!
"He calls the mansion not a house, but a tomb...he's always choking from the stench and the fume....the wedding party all collapsed in the room, so send my resignation to the bride and the groom..."
"To The End"
-My Chemical Romance
Panic! At the Disco, Fall Out Boy, and My Chemical Romance - 3 of my favorite bands ^^ Forgive Durden is getting there, too ^^
Well....comments on a comment ^^
Lytjuh-san: Glad you're back, I've missed you!
And finally, the question...my posts are so long, I swear I'm trying to cut down!
On that note -
How many of you usually read my entire post? Are you annoyed that they're so long? Please answer honestly, I won't get angry, I really want to know, I want to see if I can't make my site a little bit better for all my friends that visit ^^
Alright, that's all from me for now...I better go do the research I'm supposed to be doing now...tee-hee, I've stopped procrastinating AS MUCH, but I can't help doing it now and then ^.~
Take care, everyone!
Ja!

Wow, I seem to be posting quite a few with that icon recently....
Ooh, long title ^^ Anyway, I know that not many of you will read this, since it's late Friday night, so I'll keep it relatively short *yeah right*...or at least try to.
First of all, I haven't been on recently because of HW and lack of time...but yesterday, I did buy Franz Ferdinand's "The Fallen" from iTunes - I love them, but I don't have the patience to buy the album off iTunes or the money to buy the actual CD online. I also ordered the Saiyuki Vol. 1 DVD off Amazon last night, so it should get here...Monday? Hopefully sooner, never know with this cheap shipping ^^' My friend got Volume 2 earlier, and we both watched it, and we were so impressed, we decided one of us had to buy the first volume - since she's been buying manga like crazy and letting me borrow them, and since she got Volume 2, I decided I'd treat us ^^ Luckily, I have quite a bit of money from grades and other various things...I had about $84 before I started buying things, and I think I have about $50 or so left - sorry, I can't translate that into Euros and everything else, I've no idea about the currencies...a vague idea about yen, but I don't think that'll be useful now ^^'
Hmm, well, about half of our filming was done today, but we kept forgetting our lines and cracking up on camera, and a few times our cell phones would go off during shooting, and we'd all just fall on the floor laughing...at one point...*rubs back of head* I was trying to dodge the marker (this was on camera) my friend was drawing on my face with - she had to draw a mustache on me, long story...and so, as part of the script, I just keep talking, and she can't draw it properly, and she tells me to shut my mouth, and I stick my tongue out at her (that was improv...^^ I love improv(isation) so much X3) and so she draws a long line down the side of my face - I'm trying to pull away, and I'm sitting on a coffee table...ehehe...I fell off the coffee table, landed on my head, and rolled over, dying of laughter...my friend tried so hard to pull the scene together, but she couldn't, everyone was cracking up...it really hurt afterwards, though...it was worth it, because we have it all on film...first you see my face, then you see my feet sticking up in the air...^^ Hilarious...haha
Well, lyric of the day will be from - you guessed it, Franz Ferdinand's "The Fallen"
"So they say, a troubled boy, just because he likes to destroy...all the things that bring the idiots joy, well...what's wrong with a little destruction?"
My friend and I love that line, we walked around school singing it for a week or more ^^ Yes, I'm just as random at school as I am here ^^
Hmm...well, no comments on comments, simply becuase I'm too lazy to bring the comments page up...sorry...
Question -
Hmm...how about...ah, I know! How many of you have been involved in a (romantic) relationship. By this I mean going out, dating, etc. If you have, and you don't mind saying, how many?
For me, I've only been in one relationship like that, last year, and it hardly lasted a week, so...I don't really consider it a serious one, haha...
Well, that's all from me, I'll see if I can't post tomorrow - On Sunday, I don't know if I'll get the chance, since it's Mother's Day, and I'm taking my mummy out to breakfast...I wanna see if I can't sneak her a card and/or flowers, too, but I have no way of getting anywhere to buy one...hmm...I'll have to find a way! ^^
Take care, everyone!
Ja!
