yeah

well, i really feel like shit i'm tired and headachey and just... weary all over. late last night we got a call from my mom in florida my grandmother died true to the belief that with couples that age, if one dies, the other soon follows well, we could see it coming, there wasn't really anything to be done, she had cancer... at least it wasn't too bad for her, she died at my aunt's house with my aunt, mom and cousin there, listening to her Enya tapes i don't think she was in any pain.. ...so.. that's pretty much all i've got to say cried till i couldn't cry anymore and that was that, i got it out of my system, because i know she's better off now than she was lying in bed all day unable to move by herself i'll miss her a lot, but there's really nothing to be done about that except remember hope you all've had better days-_-' click. click. CLICK.

SAVE US! FROM CRAZIES! *LOTR music*

yyyeah so i was at work tonight and when my shift was, oh, about forty minutes from being over, and i was doodling in the hostess log book, this woman comes over and staaares at what i just drew. and she staares. and she looks at me. and she stares some more. then she points at it. and i go "um... yes...?" and then she goes "you drew that?" and i go "yeah.." and she's all "OMG O.o" then she asked if she could have it so what could i do-_-' she made me sign it and put the date on it and said she was going to frame it and put it on the wall at her beach house. then she got her husband to come over and tell me how great it was too. and it's debatable whether she was drunk at this point, but later she was, and she wouldn't leave me alone, and she was following me around like a stalker, and coming by every five minutes to tell me i was "flippin' awesome" and hey is this freaking you out yet? ...because it freaked me out. and she did what i really hate too, a lot of people at the pub do it to like everyone they see; you know when people you barely know come up to you and put their hands on your waist and look over your shoulder? total strangers are always doing that. to me that is something i ONLy want my boyfriend to do i HATE when people touch me O.o *slightly crazed* aaand best of ALL my dad was late picking me up so i had to find ways to hide from her for an additional 25 minutes. joys and hallelujahs, why are there all these psychos walking in and out of my life i mean the bad kind of psychos hahahah well anyway. she doesn't live around here so hopefully she never comes back.

Call me Bond... Jamesminda Bond

simply because i'm so exciting. so anyway, i have obtained the Bane of Self-Esteem. No, this is not a magical item on Runescape. They're known in your tongue as BRACES. today i got to sleep in a half-hour because of my appointment. the pleasantry STOPS THERE. we got there early and i sat in the foul-smelling dental dungeon known as the Waiting Room. a girl i know who's in my class was there too, but she was there to get her braces OFF. that's when i should have run. so i get in the room, yes? they start poking around in my mouth and not explaining what on earth they're doing exactly as Everybody's Freaking Pet Peeve indicates. after about an hour and a half, they've glued the bracket things or whatever they call those vile instruments of discomfort to my teeth... the girl says "oh, you didn't say what color you wanted" i say "...color? i thought i was getting the err... ceramic.. CLEAR kind?" she goes ".....................oh. hold on a minute" and leaves. oh. fuck. so turns out some incredibly considerate person neglected to mention on my paperwork that i do not want a mouth COMPLETELY full of metal. they PRY the brackets off my top teeth. uncomfortable enough yet? they think not. she then takes some kind of scraper to my teeth and SCRAPES the glue off... she is the nail, i am the chalkboard, i am NOT loving it. then we start the WHOLE thing over again till i have the right freaking braces, and i've been sitting in the stupid chair for two freaking hours of my freaking life. and my braces.. look... STUPID. HOLY CRAP, did i see this coming? YOU BETCHA. minus the mixup with the braces, that is. i guess i overestimate people's intelligence and/or compassion sometimes. so. for the next year, anybody who was planning to send me free plane tickets to japan, sorry, don't. i wouldn't get through the airport metal detectors. LATAHZ!

woop

well, stuff happened. but i shan't elaborate. O.o well anyway, knox and i discovered this abso-flippin'-lutely SPIFFING new band called Flogging Molly. i'd been hearing about them for quite a while but never heard their music. it's... quite wierd but simply awesome XD they're like an irish rock band. and they have pirate songs. it just doesn't get much cooler than that. "Seven Deadly Sins" Sail away where no ball and chain Can keep us from the roarin' waves Together undivided but forever we'll be free So sail away aboard our rig The moon is full and so are we We're seven drunken pirates We're the seven deadly sins So the years rolled by and several died And left us somewhat reelin' Johnny strummed his Tommy gun Left blastin' through the ceiling So what became of rebels Who sang for you and me? Grapplin' with their demons In the search for liberty Suffers who suffer all Can swim upon the desert Where avarice have ravaged all In spite of good intentions Don't fill your mouth with gluttony For pride will surely swell But nothing's unforgiven in the four corners of hell Sail away where no ball and chain Can keep us from the roarin' waves Together undivided but forever we'll be free So sail away aboard our rig The moon is full and so are we We're seven drunken pirates We're the seven deadly sins We're seven drunken pirates We're the seven deadly sins Envy and its evil twin It crept in bed with slander Idiots they gave advice But sloth it gave no answer Anger kills the human soul With bitter tales of lust While Pavlov's Dogs keep chewin' On the legs they never trust Sail away where no ball and chain Can keep us from the roarin' waves Together undivided but forever we'll be free So sail away aboard our rig The moon is full and so are we We're seven drunken pirates We're the seven deadly sins We're seven drunken pirates We're the seven deadly sins But It's the only life we'll know Blaggards to the bone So don't wreck yourself Take an honest grip For there's more tales beyond the shore Ah the years rolled by and several died And left us somewhat reelin' In and out came crawlin' out And spewed upon the ceiling So what became of rebels" That sang for you and me Grapplin; with their demons In the search for liberty Sail away where no ball and chain Can keep us from the roarin' waves Together undivided but forever we'll be free So sail away aboard our rig The moon is full and so are we We're seven drunken pirates We're the seven deadly sins Sail away where no ball and chain Can keep us from the roarin' waves Together undivided but forever we'll be free So sail away aboard our rig The moon is full and so are we We're seven drunken pirates We're the seven deadly sins We're seven drunken pirates We're the seven deadly sins We're seven drunken pirates We're the seven deadly sins

Almost a new theme!

only not really, because it's still Tokyo Babylon. i like this grayish theme better though, the old one seemed sort of choppy to me. didn't go well enough. aanyway knox has been sick for several days so it's been up to me to keep my sanity while at that awful school for misfits. there's this wierdo guy who has some serious issues (one of which being that he duct-tapes everything, including the soles of his shoes and toast) who's taken to sitting at our table, he's kind of scarily bi-polar... mostly he's broody and antisocial, he punched a guy not too long ago and didn't even get punished/lectured/NOTICED for it.. then other times he's like "hi! *bright*" it's a tad bit frightening. anyway, he afforded me some entertainment during lunch today by pronouncing that he is "too manly to cry." those were his words exactly. i mean, THAT'S what i say to make FUN of people like that, i've never heard a guy seriously refer to himself as "manly". anyway. the word "manly" is sort of a private joke with me and my friends, i guess it wouldn't be as funny to other people. on that topic, BEHOLD! ...or rather, don't. lol i'm so full of inside jokes i could make up a monologue that only one or two people on earth could understand. but i guess most people are like that.

die Kühle O.o

don't you just love free online translators? i do. anyway, what i wanted to say... was.. um... stuff. i wanted to say stuff. something funny is, just today i was musing over how one becomes an otaku legend, concluded it probably has something to do with being on the top 500, and i'll never get there. today i check: i am an otaku legend. ain't that just spiffy XD so. SPRING IS IN THE AIR! here, at least. this morning i swear it couldn't have been more than 35 degrees Fahrenheit and later in the day it got up to almost 80. i got home, threw my stuff down, changed into the minimum amount of clothing required for decency, and ran outside again XD so anyway, that was fun, i haven't had any time to go outside in my own yard yet this YEAR, or at least that's what it seems like. aaand my scanner is broken, sort of, as soon as i fix it i'll have a little trial fanmanga thing up. so anyway... good day and happy springtime to you! *suffocating cheer* ...ew. i make myself retch a little sometimes. What's Your Inner Beast? [pics] The Werewolf: The Werewolf is the symbol for Spiritual Paths. You have the soul of a wolf inside you, which makes you warm and caring to those you love.

dude

we do seem to have a trend of getting waiters with interesting names. we had a "sergio" at an italian restaurant, but i swear that guy wasn't italian, they probably made him lie about his name to make it seem more authentic. and jesus brought me tea today. XD our server this morning at breakfast was seriously named jesus, it was funny. anyway, took another workshop, learned more useful info about writing, wrote it all down, got like thirty pages of notes now, yadda yadda yadda... i started a rough sketchy thing for my serious manga, in a notebook. i might scan it and submit it like that once i get home, it's sort of a prelude or a preview if you will, it's rough and not much happens in it. but i just want to see if anybody wants to read it. anyway we're leaving FL tomorrow and starting home, we'll probably be back monday afternoon or evening. i've taken some awesome city pics and gotten very used to the Skyway (the monorail) so it doesn't freak me out anymore when i think i might miss my stop or whatever. the people at this festival might want me to teach a manga workshop next year, that'll be fun yet very nerve-wracking, i am SO not a public speaker O.o also, Kalliope magazine, which has taken a drawing of mine as their new official logo, wants me to do something manga-ish for their spring issue. i'm not sure what they're expecting. god forbid, i think she wants me to do some series or short story type thing. why does everyone seem to overestimate me.. and all at once! O.o anyway, i'm not complaining, i'm very glad these things are happening, it just seems like deadlines always get piled on me all at the same time, whether they're for good things or bad things. thankfully it's mostly good things this time, but you don't want to miss a deadline for a good thing either! and for gabe, alex, sam, anyone who wants to talk to me tonight, some people are taking us out for dinner, but we shouldn't be gone too late. we'll definitely be back by nine.

ohhh dear...

iii feel like such a country girl. this city freaks me out sometimes. it's BIG O.o got up at 7 to go to this big new library thing.. the festival is in a new place this year, i wish they'd just have it at the hotel they used to, i knew that place back-to-front-to-sideways. anyway my parents and i (after some wandering) found the library where all the writing workshops take place... the one i want to take today doesn't start till 3-something, but my parents have to stay all day to teach their workshops. soooo they said i could go back to the hotel by way of the monorail thingy sooo with much trepidation (because i'm sooo useless with directions, especially in cities) i walked a block or so to the station, spent a good five minutes trying to figure out whether i needed to get some kind of ticket or not (i didn't.-_-') then got on started to freak out because they told me the stop i wanted was the THIRD one, but they lied, it was actually the fourth or fifth, thankfully i rememebered the name of the so-called "third" station or i'd be totally lost right now. girl across from me must've thought i was crazy, i must've looked so shifty and worried till i heard my stop XD soo then i had to find my hotel again which i did with not too much trouble lord, i'm so useless in anyplace with tall buildings country bumpkin T_T buut i'm back in my room now and all the better for it, i thought i was gonna get lost in one of the biggest cities in FL., crap.. buuut i gotta make the whole trip over again to get to my workshop this afternoon, oh YAY! well at least i know i can do it this time ...i think... *trembles* *sigh* i'll do some makeup work from school. geometry will soon turn me from post-nervous to duller than a rock. yeh. SO MUCH FUN IN THE BIG CITY ~NAIA OUT~
