   Late Post....seriously, it's 11:21 at night...My bad you all! And it's stinkin' long, so please don't feel as though you have to go through it all!!! T_T
Forgive me for not updating recently. I believe I won't be doing anything on Sundays for now on: 7th day is a day of rest, right? Also, I'm sorry I didn't get to everyone that updated lately. Crazy lately! lol But seriously, I'm not going to bite off more than I can chew. ^_^

Well, HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!! Hope your 4th of July weekend/holiday went well. Great time to remember what our nation was founded on back then during the War for Independence. ^_^ I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but here. Thank God I was adopted! XD

So what did you all do for Independence Day? Our church had a picnic. I had a lot of fun, despite the muggy, sticky weather. *stupid humidity* We played some basketball (of course), had fun squirting people with water guns, and ate yummy food. Foul weather was stirring, which cut off our picnic somewhat shorter than usual, but we still had a great time. *sighs* I still wish I could've seen some fireworks: it's been ages since I've seen some up close. T_T Did you all see any?

---

On another note, the past few days did go well. Do you all recall when I said we bride's maids might go shoe shopping? Well, we didn't, so we weren't spending 4 hours like last time. Today, I went out and got my shoes that April (the bride-to-be) put on reserve for us. *thanks April!* So that trip only killed an hour max, only one-fourth the time, right? (^_^) I'm getting really psyched for my friend: only less than 4 days 'til the big day. Oh, and she and her future husband, Pastor Jimmy, found a place to live! How cool is that? The Lord has been really good to us these several weeks and months. I will definitely post pics of the day! n_n

Yesterday (Monday), I tried to spend time with my folks some. It seems like with work, I don't see them much. So yesterday, we wanted to do some stuff together. We went to this Seoul Plaza (it's a Korean market place) and got a few things. Because I wanted to buy something weird, I got these green tea cakes. They were tasty but had butter in them! O_O Butter is a no-no for me, not that I'm allergic to it, but it's ...fattening! XP lol Well, later that night, we all watched Million Dollar Baby. It's a great movie (in my opinion): it almost made me cry! (I would've too if my parents weren't there...lol)

Sorry for such a long post. I honestly could have said much more...much, much more! But I refrained myself the best I could. This is what I get for not updating regularly. *sighs* Nevertheless, I hope you all have a great day. Take care - I look forward to seeing you all later! ttfn ^_^

Hey you all! What's up? Well, I hope you all are doing all right! ^_^ Things have been going well lately, busy but nevertheless okie dokie!

Yesterday was a pretty slow day, but I was so glad it was Friday! Even better, I don't have to go back to work 'til Wednesday of next week! YES!! XD I'm really looking forward to this Fourth of July weekend: some R&R is just what I needed! lol Work has been extremely strenuous lately...as if! Bah, hopefully it'll get busier soon - like after we come back after our vacation. ^_^

Last night was pretty good too. I went over to a friend's house, where there were alot of my buddies all ready there. We watched "Hitch" last night, which was pretty funny. That was actually my first time seeing it in full! Will Smith is a trip, and they picked no better guy to play that "dorky dude." heehee...XD

So this morning, I'm going back to some people's site to catch up on some goodness, and for some reason I can't leave anymore comments! I have no idea what's wrong. I'm pretty angry right now because I'm trying to leave comments and grrrrr.... But trust me people, I'm really trying to get to people's sites here! If you all have any ideas, please let me know them! T_T

Today, I'm supposed to go shoe shopping with the other bride's maids again. Hmmm...will this excursion turn into another 4 hour trip? Let us hope not! lol ... Dudes and dudettes, I tried my dress on after it came in (I had to order it since they were out of 2's): I can barely breath in it!! Crimoney jeepers, I am so not eating on the wedding day! lol *tummy grumbles...* No, no food right now...must resist all temptation...

On another topic, I noticed in some previous comments that many of you were not able to hear my .mp3 music, though there were some who could. Maybe I will change my bg's music - that might help. Please, please let me know if you hear it! I really don't know any other way to correct the problem. T_T I'm also doing some "layout lookup" so that I can possibly do some stuff with my site. It will definitely be a while, but I hope it'll happen in the not-too-distant future!

Take care everyone, and I hope you all have a great Fourth of July celebration! ~_o

   Good morning fellow Otakuites, Senior Otakus, Otaku Legends, or whatever you are (it really doesn't matter)!!

I'd like to start off saying that I deeply apologize for not making it to everyone's site. Funny - I boast in my other post as to how I made it "everybody's" site and yet I still missed some on that day, plus I completely bomb the following day. So I ask you all to forgive my slackingness (is that a word?). Next time, I'll just "open my mouth and insert foot"!

I don't want to sound stupid in saying this, but I'll just say it... *ahem* So I just finished going to "everyone's" site this morning to catch up on yesterday's post. Did I miss anyone? I'm sorry if I did... *begins to open mouth and insert foot* I've got to watch what "promises" I make, especially if I know there's a chance that I can't fulfill that promise. All righty then, that felt awkward.

Also, I appreciate everyone's comments on - what was it - Monday! I'm grateful for all feedback from my random Q's. I might change my cursor if it's that confusing. However, I am quite perplexed as well. I heard from many that they thought I needed music. Strange when I know I have an .mp3 in my profile (it's an FMA theme song): I hear the music when I come onto my site. A quick survey here: Please let me know if you either hear music or you don't hear any! I'll welcome any criticism concerning my site. Thanks! ^_^

*looks at imaginary day planner* Today will be an interestingly busy day. In addition to 8 hours at work (a workless day might I add - watch, it'll be the busiest work day), I've got a piano lesson and a bridal shower to go to. Crimoney jeepers! I've still got to get a gift! Oooooh, I hope my piano lesson is tomorrow!! Please call me, Prof. Tarchalski, and tell me you can't make it! *grumbles* Well, I guess I'll just have to skip lunch...I was looking forward to eating my Nature Valley Banana Nut bars. Cest la Vie! It'll be good for my dress for the wedding! lol jk

Sorry this is such a long post! The first few paragraphs are more or less an apology - I had to get that off my chest! The rest is just my rambling and ranting on about the day. All right, all right, let me end with just a question:

Out of curiosity, do you all read manga? I'm sure many of you do For those who do, which do you prefer - the manga or the anime (that is related or from that manga)?

Ok - I hope to do some visiting of sites today when I've got some free time! Later!! ^_^

   YAY!! I was able to go to everyone's site today! On a side note, I would like to thank everyone that was able to leave a comment yesterday! I was quite impressed to have so many yesterday - that was really nice of you all. Again, thank you! *hugs* ^_^

Hehehe...from a lot of your comments, it would seem as though I'm not the only stinky bowler! lol That's ok: we can all play together. And as a lot of you said, we certainly do have a lot to do before the bid wedding day. Not only shoes, but also wedding and shower gifts too. Egad! What to do, what to do???

Nothing much has happened today. I'm still at work (it's 2:49 EST), and when I leave, I've got to pick up some pictures that I took to get developed. Some of the pics are of my friend who's getting married while others are of the bride's maids. Maybe I'll post them up, but I warn you - we don't have our make-up and girly stuff on so we look rough...O_o *looks out window - a downpour is occuring* Oh jeez o' petes - my windows are down!! *smacks head and grumbles*

***I have some questions for you all. They're probably stupid ones, but I don't care! ^_^

1. What anime character would you say best characterizes you?

Me: I'm stubborn like Inuyasha and silly like Ed - can't say just one! ^^

2. If you could meet and spend the day with your favorite anime character, who would it be and what would you do?

Me: Hmmmm....Maybe Nicolas D. Wolfwood. He could teach me how to shoot (I've got some people I wanna get back, using an air gun). *Bang Bang!*

3. If you haven't already, would you post your personal pic on your site for all to see?

Me: I already have, and I'd do it again, *points finger* chickens! ^_^ Just kidding...hehehe

4. How can I improve my site? I know I'd like to do some changes in the future, but what do you all think I should do?

Me: ... ...

5. Are these questions dumb? (Be honest! lol)

Me: I dunno...maybe. >_<


Ok, I think that's all that I can afford to think of (during my work hours!). I'll see you all later - take care!!

   OK...it's past midnight right now. I just finished visiting 97% of my friends: I'm so sorry about the rest of you 3% people. (T_T) I need to be going to bed soon though, 'cause in 5 and a half hours, I'm supposed to be getting up! *sobs* Ooooh, I'm so stupid, and I'm going to regret this in the morning...err...later today!

Anyway, I had a great weekend. Saturday, I spent 4 hours with the other bride's maids. And in that 4 hours, we bought ourselves necklaces and matching earrings. Yes, I repeat: 4 hours for a piece of jewelry. Ahhhh, we women... *shakes head* and we still need shoes! The wedding is in less than 13 days and counting! Crimoney Jeepers!!! ...All right, calm yourself, Sarah....

*ahem* Well, later that night, some of us young folk when out to the bowling alley. We had a great time with a nice deal. Bowl for 3 hours (from 8 -11) and only pay $15, including shoes! I love saving money. ^_^ FYI If ever someone is feeling down because they feel as though they suck at something, bowl with me some time! I got a perfect.....*drumroll please*.....96! That was the highest I got that night. Yes, I could make anyone feel like a winner if they just played a game with me! LOL I stink so badly at that game... *hangs head*

Well, I hope that tid-bit made someone's day...or not. Oh well! ^_^ I really hope you all are having a good day today.

Hey! How's everyone been lately? Whew - I am totally stiff. That whole bball scrimage has left me feeling icky all over. XP

Right now, I'm pushing to get to as many people's sites before 11:00 as I can, because we bride's maids need to go shopping for girl stuff for the whole wedding ordeal! So, I just wanted to leave a little post for right now. I'll most likely update this post later, so please bear with this rinky dink thing for now! lol

   TGIF Anyone?
Whoohoo - it is finally Friday! All right! XD

Phewf - I'm really glad it's the end of the week. I didn't get much sleep last night since I was up pretty late. Yesterday was neat because after I had my piano lesson (ends at 6:30 pm), I went straight to the bball gym to meet my friend. My friend, Emily, just graduated from HS, and she'll be starting college in the fall. Her big talent is her basketball skills: she did really well this past year, and our team won the Maryland Christian State Tournament, Division II. So she might continue her career in college - we'll see! ^^ Well, anywho, I met her at the gym because she wanted to play bball with some other girls from elsewhere. Since she wanted me to join her, I played as well (jeepers, it's been 1 1/2 years since I've been on a team). So we scrimaged for almost 2 hours straight - I'm feeling the "out-of-shapeness" now.

Today went well too. I didn't do too much at work except help a friend who works there (she's the one who gave me the opportunity to work at that job!). It was nice to have a light day. But my day is still not over. I just finished cutting the grass in this humid, warm weather - ick - and now, I've got to get ready to do some more manual labor! *yay...?* Oh well - what's gotta get done has to get done. ^_^

I hope your days are going well. I've visited some sites already, but I still have others to go to. I hope I can reach them later tonight! Have a great rest of the day! n__n

   I'M SO SORRY!!
I would like to say that I apologize for not being around lately and for not visiting people. Things have been somewhat busier at work and at home/church. I really do miss you all, and I so I hope to come around tonight.

Let me give a quick update on the "little" things that have been happening lately. Let's start at work. Let's see... it's been a couple, if not several, weeks since our last presentation, and we have been doing nothing but playing games and answering stupid Yahoo Answers (Questions). (People really do ask some stupid things...*shakes head*). Anyway, we are going to have another majorly huge presentation in August; and in the meantime, we have to give individual presentations in the "fields" we're working on!! *screams and runs far, far away*

*20 min. later - returns* So my friend's marriage has stirred up a lot of hub bub trying to get things prepared and whatnot. July 8th is approaching fast, and they still need to find a home to live. I just pray everything works out all right. Also, I've been trying to watch my weight *gets smacked by friends* What?!? I've got a size 2 to fit into, and I can't be piggin' out on carbs! *smacked again* Ouch!! *looks at reader* heh heh...my friends get on me pretty good when I start talking about things like that about myself. n_n They're such good friends!

Well, I'll catch you later! See ya around buddies! ^_^ Oh yeah, I've just found out I'm a "Senior Otaku." How strange is that - I've been off for nearly a week as an Otakuite and come back as a Senior. *scratches head* Go figure.

Random Q.: In a week, there is 168 hours. How many hours have you spent on the computer, including any work or whatever?

Me: Too many! Specifically, around 40-50 hours, including my time at work! XP

   It's approximately 10:15 at night. I'm sorry I don't post. At least I get around to see you all (or most of you all...sorry about those I don't see! T_T) Oh, and about that whole "Voice Actor" thing...I think, from what I've been hearing, I'm one of the few people who even bother with that kind of stuff. Oh well! I'm that kind of person! XP

Well, today is FATHER'S DAY! I love my dad alot. It seems as though he and I can get along better than my mom and I can, though I love her as well. But today is dedicated to our fathers, the ones who support us and watch over us! ^_^ What did you all do for your dads? I didn't do too much, though I was able to get him a DVD he's been wanting. I feel somewhat bad, since this past week has been very trying on my whole family. I won't go into the details, but the whole issue seems to be subsiding. *thank You Jesus!*

Well, I'll catch you all later. Take care and have a good day tomorrow (or rest of the night if it applies!) ^_^

   Hey Everyone! How have ya been lately?

Well, as you (should) well know, it's FRIDAY!! *yes yes yes!* Whoohoo, work today was mostly going on the Internet, play Sudoku, and doing nothing. It was so hard to focus when there isn't anyone else around. So, I and the other 2 interns left work at 12 p.m. (We can do that only on Fridays.) *relaxed* I just got done going to everyone's sites (had some catching up to do!).

Yesterday was cool...busy, but still cool. After my piano lesson (no, my teacher did not kill me...this time), I had to head home to grab money and then head over to David's Bridal. The girls were over there already, trying on there dresses. In the end, we're wearing these baby pink dresses, while the maid of honor (my friend's sis) is where are dark, dark pink. lol To be honest, I don't like the dress style, but this is not for me but for my buddy! ^_^ She looked so pretty in her gown! *giggles* I feel pysched for this event!! Oh, and today, I heard that my other friend in Sterling, VA is now engaged! *sings Love is in the air...*

As I was "working" today, I had the sudden urge to discover the people who voice our favorite anime characters. So I did. Although I could never possibly have them all here, I'd like to contribute this to the people who bring our favorite anime characters alive!
