   HAPPY HALLOWEENIE BOYS AND GIRLS
I love Halloween this year..mostly because it was also daylight savings time lol. Who doesn't love an extra hour of sleep?!?!

Unfortunately my nephew is in the hospital..the poor thing had a seizure and a fever, but I know he will get better. I love him to pieces!

FullMetal Alchemist will be on starting next Saturday...I think it looks sort of cool. I don't know about Super Milk Chan..I have no clue about the show.
And Ghost in the Shell..I don't know ANYTHING about that, either.
But at least Inuyasha will be on at 1am on Saturdays...and they're starting with the Muso episode. I can only be thankful for that...but Adult Swim should know that Inuyasha is great. I still don't know why they don't understand that.

Speaking of Inuyasha being great..I have one thing to say to people who take an image off of the show and use all of 5 minutes to place it online then think to say it's stealing when they stole in the first place: GET OVER IT.
Unless you draw it with your own hands, what gives you the right to be all high and mighty? I have mad respect for artists who draw...but going from tv to wallpaper that you didn't even draw is hardly means to think you're the real owner of that image...so grow up, please. When you start drawing with your hands like a lot of gifted people do, then you can say whatever you want.
*getting off my soapbox* Hey, when I've had to deal with a funeral, ill 1 year old nephew, and no day off from work, you'd have a big mouth with big opinions, too. lol
Hey..freedom of speech, baby. You don't like it? Tough.

I wish that that freedom will get me to speak to Richard Cox.
I know tvtome.com has his fanmail address, but I'm still too much of a wuss to mail off anything. What would I say? "I love you..please love me."
AHAHAHAHAHAHA.
I might just go to a convention one of these days (yeah right) and see him. Hmm..I wonder what a convention would be like.

And who knows if Case Closed will be showing any more new episodes?
I love that show..solving crimes in real life or in anime is really cool and good for the mind. Do like I do since the shows are on late: I bought a bunch of 8 hour VCR tapes and I set my VCR to record them at their times while I sleep because I have really been working my butt off. I record everything now...Cartoon Network, Kids' WB (yes I know how old I am. If a voice actor who is 40 can voice a teenager, I can watch and listen lol), MTV, Food Network (I love to cook), and HBO.

Speaking of tv, I need to buy a new one. My poor 13" lost the sound on the right side. In the middle of Rurouni Kenshin last night (it's like Toonami saw me complain about missing Kenshin so much and brought it back just for me), the sound gave out. I had to turn the volume up really hight to hear the left side. I think I am gonna save up and buy a tv with a DVD player built in, as long as it's not 13". Maybe I'll swing by the pawn shop and have a look.
*sigh* I'll have to hold off on getting an MP3 Player then.

And lastly, I spoke to my ex boyfriend. It ain't what you're thinking. We got back into fighting for a bit (I have no clue why...but he was mad because I didn't want to be his friend 1 & a half months after we broke up... I would have had to be a saint for that.) He still has a nasty habit of not saying goodbye or anything and just disappearing.
Men and boys....Lesson #1: We women and girls like it when you say goodbye. If you are leaving or don't feel like speaking any more at that time, let us know. We don't need to sit around waiting to hear from you if you're gone. We've got other friends (who include other guys) to speak to other than you.
I felt like writing to my ex and saying "Rude much?"...but I decided to be the better person and not say anything.....yet.
If I don't tell him, how will he ever know how I feel and then still ignore it? LOL

That's it for me.
I painted my bookcase, and now have more books than shelves to put them on...but I also need to get rid of some boxes, so I'm off to my disorganized room.

Ciao,

Trice xoxo

   Breakdown! Hoo Wah
I'm so tired that I think even my hair needs a 36 hour nap.
I'm so sorry it has been a while since I wrote. A lot of things happened at the end of September that I can let you guys in on.

Of course, all those hurricanes and tropical storms passed around here. I didn't have time to be happy for the rain. I got my workload upped and have been working my tailbone off. All I could think was, "Please let the power stay on so that I can watch Inuyasha reruns and Case Closed." I had missed Jack Attacks the first time around, and I really didn't want to miss it this time.

My mother's side of the family and I went to Georgia to celebrate my nephew's first birthday. We got there, lots and lots of kids were there, I felt too old and out of place but happy to see my nephew, and we promptly drove back to S.C. before Jeanne hit. I have to say it was fun to joke around with my second cousins and aunt in the van going to GA. We all made fun of each other..it was hilarious. And the best part about coming straight back was that I didn't miss the rerun of Adult Swim that Saturday night. I was so happy to catch Inuyasha and Wolf's Rain. Also, the clouds in the sky from the impending storm made the ultra-bright moon so beautiful. I really wish I had had a camera to take pictures of the night sky.

Let's see...that following Sunday was my birthday. Being 28 is just like being 27...except I forget to type out 28 when I'm filling out information. I'm getting the hang of it now. I bought myself Avon goodies and they arrived Saturday, so I had fun trying out the stuff on Sunday.

Unfortunately that happy feeling didn't last long because my grandfather died on Thursday. My father practically lived at the hospital day and night before and after going to work, so I felt extremely horrible when he said they had decided to take granddaddy off the life support. But I must say, his funeral was very nice. I'm gonna miss him and his jokes, but my father said he didn't die in pain..he had a smile on his face when the nurse's let him know that two of his son's were with him in the room.

So after a couple of weeks being really down, I put my heart into work..and got more work out of it.
I'm starting to feel a little stressed because I'm thinking about the future...but you know what always makes me feel a bit better, don's ya?

Uh huh.

That's right!

RICHARD IAN COX!!!!!!

I called my friend Paul, who lives in Cali, and he said he'd be happy to go with me to Canada.
If he only knew! I'd ditch him at the first sign of Richard Cox.

I'm not the stalker type, but I'd change my tune if I saw Richard walking down the street. His birthday was on October 3rd. *sigh*
How I wish I could've been there with him...

I wonder about this Read or Die show...since it means I won't be seeing Inuyasha next weekend. Plus, there's about 3 or 4 episodes of Wolf's Rain they didn't air...and the week after next, they'll be showing the Animatrix again.
*grrr*

I find myself wishing they'd show Rurouni Kenshin again. I miss that show.

*heavy sigh* Okay..I've typed enough..even the words are tired. lol
I've got one day off and that's thursday..so Au Revoir.

xoxo

   For once, Hurricane season sucks big time!
I used to love when a hurricane came by. That was back in middle and high school of course! No school....BBQing every day the power was still out....no school.
But I'm too old for this now. I've got a job and bills and more bills. lol
When Tropical Storm Gaston hit, it was so freakin' slow. It felt like a hurricane to me. Trees were down everywhere in my town. Surfers were just waiting to catch the waves when they probably swelled high above their heads and floaded the beach.

I feel so bad for Florida..but in all honesty, if it has to hit land, I would rather it didn't come to this state. I'm so selfish, it's horrible!
:(
I'm gonna pray that they'll be okay..because Hurricane Frances just might turn into a category 5. And with the problems they have from Hurricane Charley, that's soooo gonna suck for them.
Kids will be in school for the summer down there.

On an anime note, does it sound like Jerry Jewell is singing the new ending song to Yu Yu Hakusho?
Sounds like it to me.
There's something about his voice that I cannot put my finger on. Maybe an accent he used to have or something.
It is so freakin' hard to find out any info on any voice actor over at FUNimation. Boy do they love their privacy.
I don't want to marry you guys (except Richard C.), only find out about you...sheesh. Not where you live or your family..I wanna know what age you are and what hobbies you are.
Actors..who can figure them out?

Well I'm off to shop....take care.

Toodles! xoxo

   Recap of a weird existence Part II
My titles seem like Case Closed episode lists LOL. I cannot believe it has been a month since I posted this. I'm so scatterbrained! I begged for more work on my posts, and I really did get more work. Today and tomorrow are my days off. I'm really thrilled about it.
All I've been doing is working, buying gas (which SUCKS), dodging Hurricane Charley (knocked out our power for 3 hours, so I'm cool with it), daydreaming about Richard Ian Cox as usual, and wishing for Winter. Oh yeah, I got some cool deals on stuff during the tax-free weekend at the beginning of the month. I went to Target with some free cards I got and just had a blast. Got a new keyboard, a new tote bag, and some other stuff tax free. Now the only other free gift card I have is for a Japanese Restaurant I am gonna go to on my birthday, alone. I wish I could go with Richard Cox. If this guy knew how obsessed I am about how hot he is, he'd sic every authority figure on me. But there's nothing wrong with a little crush. *cough* Okay..Okay...BIG crush.

My room is a mess! I am the least organized person on the planet. All I keep doing is telling myself to clean and straighten up, but what do I do? Drool at the television whenever I hear Richard Cox's voice. I've got this thing now that even though I tape any anime I miss, I also watch some of them as I'm taping..and then rewatch during the week. I don't seem to miss a lot of my friends... Most of them would only just call the shows cartoons. How insulting! lol

Did you guys see Fox this evening? I thought they were getting my hopes up and showing new Family Guy episodes early..but nope. Bet nobody watched. They should just give all rights to new Family Guy episodes to Cartoon Network...it does better there than on prime time. And as much as you other girls want to wish, Seth McFarlane is not as hot as Richard Cox.
He was born in Wales, for goodness sakes. And may I tell you, those pictures of him when he was in those Black Stallion movies..oh my goodness.

*sigh* His birthday is October 3. Mine is September 26.

If he has a girlfriend or a wife, I could be tempted to go all Britney Spears on her and take her man.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
As if he would want me.
Well, at least I wouldn't give him money to buy me an engagement ring.
What was that all about?
Celebs are soooo funny. Sometimes you forget they're just like us..and make even dumber mistakes. But that's life. We all make mistakes.

So here I was, after the Hurricane skimmed past us on the coast, watching Wolf's Rain and sighing over Crispin Freeman's bad boy voice (even his is hotter than Seth's) and listening to the same instrumental song I still cannot find the name of, when it hit me: I love Inuyasha reruns, but my growing love of Case Closed would wane if they'd just show Inuyasha at midnight, Wolf's Rain at 1am, and Case Closed at 1:30am Monday thru Thursday. I also started to remember back when Adult Swim had Yu Yu Hakusho on Saturdays. I remember a lot.

What I didn't know is they show .hack//DUSK and new Cyborg 009 episodes Friday at 1am to 2am.
I can't stand when they don't advertise things. I didn't know they showed more episodes of Transformers Armada so early in the morning, I had to set the VCR to record...and still I missed them because now they changed the time again and started over to the beginning.

But as busy as I have been, I did make time to go see Yu-Gi-Oh The Movie. There's something so eerie about Eric Stuart...how he can sound so friendly and cool as Brock yet sexy and arrogant as Seto Kaiba. Overall I liked it...I just wish it had been longer. Next time, I'll bring one of my little cousins along..parents with kids were looking at me like I was crazy.
Hey! I can pass for at least 21...so they should've looked the other way LOL

Well, I'm getting a bit tired, but I've got some Neopets stuff to do.
Gotta go...goodnight everyone. Sleep well as I leave you with the lyrics as I best decipher them.....................

"It was the first new Century, in one hundred years/ And when I felt like I should cry, I laughed away my tears/ The end of a millennium, we waited a long, long time/ To see the brave new world and the mountains we would climb/
The things I tried to comprehend, as a child remained a mystery/ But there's nothing I need to defend, there's nothing great about me/

All I will ever believe, is the pounding of my heart though/ It doesn't answer questions: That's just the way it goes/ All I will ever have faith in, is the beating in my chest/ It won't predict tomorrow ..or give me eternal rest"

   Recap of a weird existence Part I
Hello all you cool and exciting people. Like meatwad would say, 'How y'all doin'?'.
I've good news and just stupid news. The good news is who cares what good news I've got..let's get to the stupid news. LOL
I got more work..then I didn't get more work. Now that's stupid. Just when I was gonna work 7 days a week, 2 of the home care clients went AWOL on me. One moved out of state, and I have yet to hear about the other. I don't think this "I am begging for more work" phase is gonna last much longer. I never seem to get what I want.
The only things that comfort me are, of course, Richard Cox's voice, Case Closed, and Toonami/Adult Swim Saturday. I cannot live without my Inuyasha, Yu Yu Hakusho, Wolf's Rain, Rave Master, Duel Master, GT, and Gundam Seed-athon. I invested in 6 hour tapes, so I record everything every week. From Inuyasha reruns and Case Closed on one tape, to Everything on Saturday that I love (that includes Yu-Gi-Oh!). I saw the commercial for the Yu-Gi-Oh! movie. As old as I am, I'm gonna go see it. It'll be an early birthday gift. So aside from all of that, this summer's heat is relentless. It's also brought out the bugs. Cyber bugs that is. What do you little evil genuises...errr, kids...do all summer? Think of more ways to attack the online world? Everywhere I look, some teenager is hacking an account for no other reason but to do it. Stay away from this old lady!! AHAHAHAHA
Actually, I'm serious..I ain't got nothin' but an obsession with a voice actor who, if he were to ever surf the web and see all this, would probably send the cops down to make me leave his name out of everything.
He was so funny in "Farewell Days of My Youth." Inuyasha sounded so feminine when he was bewitched, it was funny and scary as heck. Richard Ian Cox is such a great voice-over actor., though I can do without him sounding like girl.

Anyhow, I got an email from a friend of mine who lives in Australia. Unlike me, he finished college and has now become a Solicitor. I'd rather be a crime scene investigator than a lawyer, but eh, it's what Ray really wanted to become. At least I know a lawyer half way around the world. I hadn't heard from him since last year...he's so busy with his cases, but he finally emailed me with the weirdest message, the gist of it being that he was closing that account and wondered if I was still at that email address.

I need some cheering up. I was going to work last week when a pebble flew into my windshield. I have the worst luck! There are two cracks forming on either side of my rear view mirror, which I had to replace a few weeks ago because the first one's adhesive melted in all this heat and wouldn't get back on. See? BAD LUCK.

There's more to this weird life of mine, but it'll have to wait for another day. Y'all take care!

   Work, Work, and more Work
Sheesh...I finally get some work and totally forget to come back and post. On top of that, I've been acting like a child, buying a few happy meals (did I say a few? lol) just because neopets were inside. At first, I was getting crap...but then I got a Shadow Blumaroo, Shadow Grundo, Starry Grundo, White Yurble, and a Yellow Wocky. *sigh* I'll be glad when this promotion is over with. People look at me like I've got a child to bring a happy meal home to. Nah, folks, I'm eating them and...I'm lovin'it LOL.

And on top of all this, I pay for my brother's reinstatement fee for his driver's license since he called and begged me to on friday, promising to put the money into my account, and lo and behold when I called him this hot Tuesday morning, he stated he didn't put the money back in. No more favors for him...EVER!!! I only had 50 bucks in my account and his fee was for 100. I reminded myself that he has my only nephew...but blood can only run so thick with my younger brother. So he can forget ever calling me to help him out anymore. (deep sigh)

My father, the lucky one, has just rushed off for a 3 day business trip to Chicago. I was born there, I want to be the one to go... I wanted to throw out his clothes and climb into the suitcase, ready for an adventure. Who the heck wants to be stuck down here in 90 degree weather? I hope he keeps the champagne from first class. Just because he doesn't drink doesn't mean I don't. lol

Well, I'm off to dream of Richard Cox. I try to get him out of my head, but that face and voice just make me forget my problems...and of course, cause more problems (wishful thinking, delusions of grandeur). I don't think I have enough nerve to ever write him a fan letter. I found the address on tvtome.com, but forget it...that man would (rightfully) think I'm just crazy *double sigh*
I've gotta go to work in a few hours..take care for now.

Hoping everyone is having a good summer..

   Oh yeah...MUSIC
I totally forgot(scatterbrain) my quest du jour. I'm looking for the names of songs I've heard. The new ending to Yu Yu Hakusho ("I feel my aching heart about to break...."). That's how it starts, and it's stuck in my head.
One of the songs in Wolf's Rain...actually two. The ending song and the song when they were standing on a hill looking at the ocean and a bridge. That's stuck in my head as well.
Gundam Seed opening and closing themes are also needed...and the Dragonball GT theme without the words, the english one showing on tv, I can't seem to find it yet.
I think this is all gonna take me months to find. *sigh*
That's about it for now.

   My life is a complicated joke and only I am laughing...
I never thought I'd say this but.. I NEED MORE WORK. Heaven knows at my old jobs, I could barely stand to go to work. But now, I'm wishing for more work. Maybe I should go back to college, but I have no idea what I'd major in. I've been a Chemistry major for 3 1/2 years and a Psychology major for 1 year. I miss different aspects of chemistry but nothing else. I miss the labs, the balancing equations, diagraming molecules, adding compounds to form new chemicals, making a 3d model on a computer.

And I already miss Inuyasha reruns. How can one man's voice tempt me so? My obsession is getting to the point that I keep comparing other men to Richard C. Do they sound as hot as he does? Is their life as exciting? Were they born some place far away that I have never seen, like he was? I even compare other voice actors to him.

Now I see why actors want more privacy...and though I'm not scouring the web for his address, I do like to read interviews he's given and look at his pictures.
But as far as privacy goes, everyone deserves it. It's their right. But when you put yourself into an entertainment role, you're bound to find people wondering who you really are when you're in the role of a character. You put yourself out there and people want to know if your life is like whomever you are acting as. So cut us fans some slack. I'm not the go to the conventions and write you fanmail type of girl.

I'm the daydreamer who obviously needs to get a life. LOL

Ciao for now....

   If you'd like me to add you as a friend...
Just let me know by signing my guestbook. No, I'm not trying to get as many guestbook entriesas I can. I just want to be nice and add anyone as a friend who wants me to.

I've been so bummed out lately, and I just want to feel good again.
Nothing like daydreaming about voice actors to perk me right up lol. And the fact that CN started showing the rest of the dark tournament episodes for Yu Yu Hakusho (isn't Yoko Kurama just dreamy?). If only they could show all the new Inuyasha eps during the week. *sigh*

Take care xoxo

   Why didn't I do this sooner?
I'm such a scatterbrain. Here I am, thinking about so many things, and I didn't even remember to post...EVER. I'm too old to lose my mind LOL. I'm stressed out about my job, my lack of a love life, and the growing replacement of Richard Cox as the guy of my dreams. My life should be an anime called "Keep on Dreaming? Ike!" Yeah, that didn't make any sense to me either. *sigh* Take care!
