Hey everyone! Ok...so a month's almost gone by. Gosh, I feel as though I'm always recapping on what's already happened to me. *sighs* Well, I'll be recapping again... *big smile* ...especially since last week was my spring break off! Yes!! But that was last week. Alas... You don't have to read all of it: just skim through or whatever. Well, let me get on with the highlights of my vacation. ^_^ Monday: Ahh, yes. Monday was spent as my sister and I made last-minute adjustments and reservations for my parents' anniversary. We stuck with our plan of treating them to dinner and with a limo ride: A limo would pick them up to take them to the Windows on the Bay restaurant. All was well that day. ^_^ Tuesday: This was a packed day of randomness. I spent the majority of the day with my friends. First, four of us went to a baseball field to hit some baseballs around. It wasn't much of a game, and we didn't do it for too long. But it was still fun. We followed our "game" with a hearty meal from Chick-fil-A. I love their chicken...mmmmm... After a nice lunch, we went to my old job and took a tour of the coal company's HQ. I was able to see some of my former co-workers, except for Mr. Abercrombie. *shrugs* I could care less, though he's a nice fellow. ^_^ Ok, so later that night, we went to another friend's place, went out for food, and watched the movie Hitch for the bazillionth time. heehee. That was okay: we had a lot of fun together. Wednesday: On this day, I spent more time with a couple of my friends. We went to the mall to eat at Red Robins, shopped for a little while, and got free ices from Rita's. Man, that was super tasty, but, of course, that day was really, really cold. Thursday and Friday: Nothing much happened... But I did have some nice quality time with my mom: we don't get to hang out that much. ^_^ Ok, so that was my spring break week: full of rest and relaxation. Sorry for such the long post. I try not to bore you to death. XP Oh yes - I forgot to mention a couple things. 1. My parents had a great time. Our anniversary gift worked out great, and I think it gave my parents opportunity to heal some issues between them. 2. I've been gone for nearly a whole month and return to an Otaku Legend title. Talk about messed up! But I'm pretty happy with that. ^_^ 3. Do you like my new theme? Cowboy Bebop was what started me on my anime streak. All right. I'm letting you go now. *blushes* Take care and See you around, Space Cowboy.

   Well, well, well... Thanks for your suggestions concerning my parents' anniversary. Tonight they'll be going out to a restaurant called Sabatino's, so I hope they'll have fun together. I must say, the past 30 years have been, how should I say this, like a rollercoaster, so I'm proud of them staying together for so long!

My sister and I actually are planning to do something for them, since their actual anniversary date is on Monday. For right now, we're just "playing it off," almost pretending that we forgot. But we are going to try to book a reservation at a really nice restaurant accompanied by a limo ride. I hope things turn out as planned.

Sooo... How are you all doing? Got anything planned for the upcoming weekend? For me, I've got a meeting to go to tonight, and I need to prepare some food. I'm glad it's easy stuff: eggs and biscuits. Quite frankly, I'm not the greatest cook and I'm also the slowest. I'm great at cooking...err...preparing cereal, toast, or Ramen. Yes! So I hope I don't burn the eggs or biscuits: that would be embarrassing. *ponders* Hmmm...do you think I could add some blue dye and create "green eggs" or something? heehee ...that sounds like fun! *evil grin*

Doesn't that look yummy? I could do that too. ^_^

Well, I leave on that note. I hope I can visit some of your sites: it's been too long for some of you, and I'm very sorry! T_T Ttfn and take care!

   More Snow - No Class!
Hey everyone! Gosh, it's been a while since I last came on here, but I did warn you all of that I'd be on less frequently! Anywho, I've got some free time because of a little snow: my professor decided to cancel class today. Yay! Although I do wish I would've found out before driving a half hour to college first. Sheesh! Oh well. How's that saying go? "You can't have your cake and eat it too..."? Something like that. *shrugs*

Well, I guess with all this free time, I'll do some homework (just like a good girl would do!) and such. Oh yeah, on a side note - I finally got myself a little iPod! It's just a 1st-generation iPod shuffle that my sister gave to me, meaning: I didn't pay a dime for it! I'll eventually upgrade to a Nano or 30-GB, I assume. First, I'll have to make some more dough. Alas...college doth snatch mine cash up... ^_^

Before I say goodbye, I do have one question for you all:

Do you all have any good ideas as to what my sister and I could do for our parents' anniversary? This will be my folk's 30th anniversary, and we'd like to make it special.

Well, that's it! Sorry this post isn't thrilling and exciting. I just wanted to stop on by and see how you all are doing. Take care and peace!

   Greetings again! I hope you all had a relatively good weekend. ^_^ I know I did!

Let's see: I'm gonna recap on just a few things that happened over the weekend.

Well, to start things off, last Friday our boys' and girls' basketball teams had a couple games against our rivals in Sterling, VA. (Sterling, VA is where our "headquarters" church is located: we're just a branch off from them.) Anyway, these games were just practice games for the Sterlingers, so they asked us if we would let our alumni play as well. heehee So you probably can figure what happened next. I as well as a few other more recent alumni got to play in this game. It was so much fun, although I sucked throughout the game. Zippo points for me! lol We lost too...*shakes head* Oh well. We get to play them again in the March, so I'm gonna do some practicing in the meantime...at least I hope so!

Saturday was a busy day. The ladies of our church had a breakfast early in the morning. Our breakfasts typically consist of fruit, bagels, and doughnuts. Mmmm....donuts! lol Nah, I usually eat just fruit and a bagel. Anyway, breakfast was followed by working more on our church's facilities. We've come a long way since a year ago. Last year, I think there was probably just a big hole in the ground, but now there's a building with walls and everything. Now we're working on plumbing and other stuff.

Later that evening, we young adults had our meeting. It was a nice time with most of us there. However, throughout the meeting, the phones kept going off, which was really annoying. It turned out that one of our buddies got into an accident. Curse that black ice! Apparently, he slipped on some black ice and flipped his Pontiac. That's quite the feat: to flip the "wide Pontiac" on it's back. Fortunately, my friend came out scratchless and hung out later that night with us. ^_^ Oh yeah, have you all ever heard of the game called "Sardines"? It's really fun, especially when you involve cars and an empty business park... lol

Finally, Sunday night was a lot of fun. Yesterday was our HQ Pastor's birthday, both his conversion birthday (40 years) as well as his natural birthday (60 years). So, to celebrate the occassion, the young adults of Sterling, some of the high schoolers there, and many others put on skits and speeches for our Pastor. It was a great time. I had no idea that Disney song lyrics were so easy to manipulate and change...lol...actually, it was probably easier said than done! To say the least, it was a great time to be around some of my friends that I don't get to see too often. ^_^

So there you have it: that was my full weekend. Now all I have to look forward to is school. *yay...no, nevermind* I didn't realize I had so much homework that I put aside...whoops! So, I'll hope to visit some of you all. Take care and be safe, all you who snow encumbered! *hugs*

Happy Valentine's Day... -__-'
So today's the "Love" holiday, isn't it? Oh boy! *glares* Ok, I'm not here to offend anyone, but I really don't like this holiday. I don't know why. Maybe it's the stupid, naked winged baby that shoots sharp, pointy arrows at people. Or it could be the fact that the commercials on T.V. become sappy and barf-inducing due to the "over-airing" or to the "overall cheeziness." Must we take one day out of the year in order to show our love and care for another individual by buying them chocolates and jewelry? I don't think so! Alas, my high-blood pressure....lol Just kidding about that.

Now don't get me wrong. I do have loved ones that I, well, love. And my dad even bought me this diamond set: it's really pretty. *shiny* But the whole "let's throw a holiday out there about 'love'" is a bit iffy to me. That's just me. Maybe that'll change when I get married. *pauses* LOL That'll be the day too!

Well, I am feeling a bit better today. School's closed due to the icy conditions, which makes me feel even better. heeheehee I'm still coughing a good bunch, but overall, I'm feeling better. I did go to the doctor's yesterday. According to my sister (who's a paramedic), I had been showing signs of possible meningitis because of my fever, achiness, stiff neck, and development of an itchy rash. Fortunately, the doc checked me out and said that I was all right. Thank the Lord!! Speaking of doctors...I don't like them either! And it had to be a "guy" doctor...geez. I won't say anything else! O_O lol

*sighs* I guess that's it for today. I'll try to see some of your sites. Take care!

WAIT!! Here's a link for all of you "Anti-Valentines" people. This guy sent me this anti-Valentine's e-card: it's pretty funny! Click on the broken heart below to follow the link. I hope it works! (If not, I can always e-mail it to you too! lol)

   Oh my dear...Geez o' petes... shucks howdy! I seriously had no idea that it's been nearly a month since I've been here! *gasps* So sorry! *ahem* But I will now say that I will not be on as consistently, due to school and other events. I am sorry though that I have not been around here or your sites in, like, forever!!

Hmmm...according to my last post, Mugen, Jin, and Fuu were around. Well, this time, it's just good ol' twilightsamurai. ^_^ Besides... *coughs* Fuu's in an asylum, Mugen's out carousing around here and there, and Jin - well - Jin's just Jin. I think I drove them off the wall...*blushes*

So, where should I begin? I've got a whole month to cover. *grins* I'll just give you some of the highlights over the past month.

School is going well so far. I really like all my teachers, although my English 112 teacher sorta scares me. She's really strict, but I, in a sense, admire her for holding such a high standard for her students in the way she does. *nods* Most of my classes are relatively easy, I guess. I take an Art course (Basic Drawing 101), a Physics course (focusing on Sound & Light), a Choir course (I CANNOT SING!!), English 112, and Music Theory/Ear Training (OMYGOSH - HARD STUFF!!). So that's my schedule. Yipee!

Oh, I do believe I mentioned some time ago that I stopped working at that coal company. Oh well. It was really nice while it lasted. I think I really got used to the work schedule and even got to know some more people there: in a way, I miss them. As for Mr. Abercrombie, well, he started going out with this other little Asian lady! *frowns* (She's sorta mean too...at least she is toward me...) Alas - it was not meant to be. But now that I think about it, maybe it was for the better. Besides, before leaving the office, I managed to soap up his car windows when he wasn't there. Hehehehee...does that make me evil?

Hmmm...What else? Oh yeah. I've been sick for the past 4 days with over-100-degree fevers. Yay! Not really. The constant hacking is most annoying. Any suggestions for the abnormal cold characterized by continuous coughing and the runny nose, not to mention the dizziness and swelling of the eyeballs?

Well, I certainly hope that this has given you a bit of insight of my life of late. Nothing grand or exciting, sorry to say. (Hope I didn't bore you to death! lol). With that, I say, take care! I hope to visit you all. *hugs*

   On with tthe show?


Fuu: *enters* Ahhhh...so I'm finally back! Sorry it's been so long since last time, everyone. We thought it would be best to wait 'til Mugen *rolls eyes* got done with lordsesshomaru's contest, which was amazing, by the way! Heeheehee - So today's the big day when we'll found out who's your fav from the anime series Samurai Champloo. Ooooo, I can't wait to get the results.



Mugen: Huh? *hiccup* What the hell are we talking about again? Why are we here? Who am I? ...*hiccup*...

Fuu: Geez - don't tell me you were out carousing around last night, were you? You knew we had to do this for Sarah today: I told you so!! *smacks forhead and turns to viewers* Hehehe - sorry you guys: try not to pay attention to his stupor.

Mugen: HAHAHAHA!! You said "STUPOR"! That sounded funny... *hiccup*

Fuu: ... ...*sighs*... Now where's Jin this time? We've got a post to continue with here: Sarah's counting on us! T_T

Jin: I'm right here.



Fuu: Whoa! Geez, you scared me!! O_O

Mugen: AAAAAaaaaaaa - the Boogie Man! I'm sooooo scared!! *hiccup* HAHAHAHAHA!!! *hiccup*

Jin: I've been here all this time, watching you two. And I must say I-

Fuu: Ok, whatever!! *snorts* Let's just get started, shall we?

So, before all of this, what were we talking about? Oh yeah! That popularity survey!!

Mugen: POOPULARISEE GROOVEEEE!!! @_o *hiccup*

Jin: Ignoramus...

Fuu: *again seriously annoyed* DON'T START THAT UP AGAIN!!! WE ARE HERE TO HELP OUR FRIEND, IF YOU HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN THAT ALREADY!!! SO SHUT UP, JUST SHUT UP YOU BLEEP! BLEEP!

Mugen and Jin: O_O ...Now she's scary!

Mugen: Was that a bird just now? TWEET *hiccup* TWEET!! Hehehehe... *hiccup*

Fuu: Keep it together, Fuu. Remember, you're one step away from the Anime Asylum!

*ahem* ^_^ Anyway! I think we have the results: here comes MoMo as I speak! Yipee!!

Mugen: Look - it's a bird, it's a plane, it's it's - a Pikapoo! *hiccup and burps*



MoMo: >_< Squeak! Squeak squeakity squeak squeak! You BLEEP! idiot! *deposits to Fuu the survey results within a folded paper*

Fuu: Thanks, MoMo! I have a good feeling about this...I'm sure I won! *opening the paper*

...Mmmhmm...Mmmhmmm... O_O WHAT THE BLEEP!!??!?!?! *falls to knees and begins to bawl*

Jin: Let me see that. *taking survey results* Well look at that.

Mugen: ...Tweet... There's that BLEEP! bird again... Huh? Look at what? *hiccup* This? pulls from pocket an embarrassing photo of Fuu*



Jin and Fuu: ... ... O_o

Jin: My word, that's not what I was talking about! *adjusting glasses*

Fuu: MUGEN! You- YOU- YOU PIG!

Mugen: Nah - you're the pig here, sistah! HAAHAHHAHAAHA...*hiccup* OINK OINK, MS. PIGGY! OINK *hiccup* OINK!! *runs away with Fuu following deadly close behind him*

Jin: Well now. As much as I would enjoy watching that ignoramus get pummeled by the pig- I mean, by Fuu, I have a duty to fulfill.

It appears that I was the popular one amongst us three followed my Mugen with Fuu tied with her...pet... I should refrain from telling her that little detail... Thank you all for choosing me.

As the victor, I will briefly update you all on how Sarah's been lately: *ahem*

1.) She ended her career as an intern for a coal company. She said she enjoyed it very much and might resume it in the summer.

2.) Her college education begins again. She notes that as much as she looks forward to going to school again, she does not look forward to the bill.

3.) She has begun teaching a general music education class for several grades (1st, 3rd, and 5th). She enjoys the kids...when they behave.

So there it is: that's all Sarah has for you all at this time. Again, thank you for choosing me as your favorite. *bows* Hmmm...I think it's time for me to settle this dispute between the children. *watches Fuu and Mugen run around like decapitated chickens* Farewell.

MoMo: Squee-squeakity squeak! Bye everyone!!

   Something new


Fuu: Lalalalala... Hey there everybody! If you don't know me already, my name's Fuu. Sarah (a.k.a. twilight samurai) has been really busy lately, so she asked me to fill in for her. She apologizes for her long absence too. (She's starting the new year with a bit of a twist. We'll see how it goes. ^_^)

Anyway,I guess it's only appropriate that she asked me, since Samurai Champloo is her new theme here. I gotta say: I really like that background. Don't I look so cute? X3 *squeals with glee*



Mugen: *enters the room* HELL NO! What kind of stupid idiot would think some little twirp like you was "cute." BLEEP! idi- Whoa! What the BLEEP! was that?!?!

Fuu: *chuckles* HA! Serves you right! Need I remind you that Sarah has programmed a censorship for dumb, dirty-mouthed oafs like you? She anticipated your behavior and had this censor thingy "bleep" you for every foul word you'd say. Pretty smart, huh?

Mugen: I don't give a rat's BLEEP! You give her way too much credit anyway...dumb broad...

Fuu: *whispering* Keep talking like that and she'll fire you, and you won't get paid!

Mugen: Huh? ...Oh yeah... Yeah, that Sarah - what a babe, right Fuu? *nudge nudge*

Fuu: How embarrassing... Anyway! Mugen, where have you been and have you seen Jin anywhere?

Mugen: Me? I've been workin' over there at lordsesshmaru's place: part of this kick-BLEEP! tournament thing. And Jin? Yeah, uh, he's right there. *points to the corner behind Fuu*

Fuu: Lordsesshomaru's place? That's neat. Why he'd pick you over me is beyond me...

*looks at Jin* Man, when'd you get here?



Jin: Actually, I have been here for quite some time now, even before you arrived.

Fuu: What?!? I didn't even notice you were over there.

Jin: ....hmmm....

Mugen: That's Mr. Talkative for ya. Wait - Mr. "I've got my head up my BLEEP!" sounds a lot better.

Jin: You truly are an ignoramus.

Mugen: Did you just say, "In your anus"?

Jin: I rest my case.

Mugen: Why you BLEEP!!!!

Fuu: *seriously annoyed* Will you two just SHUT UP!!

Mugen and Jin: *points to each other* He started it!

Fuu: *rubbing temples* I swear - you two knuckleheads act like real babies sometimes...

*looks at time* Man, we really got off schedule there. *gives Mugen and Jin a scary glare* Well, we've only got a few minutes left before we have to say, "Buh-bye!" *ponders* What should we fill the rest of the time with? Hmmm...maybe we could-

Mugen: *interrupts* Hey, I know! Let's take one of those poopoolarity surgeons things.

Fuu: What the...?!?!

Mugen: You know - let's ask people who they like best out of us three.

Fuu: *pauses for a while* Oooooooh I see. A popularity survey.

Jin: -_-'...Ignoramus...

Fuu: Ok, well that sounds like fun! So here's what we'll ask the audience:

From Samurai Champloo, who do you like the best? Me (that's Fuu), Mugen *furtively shakes her head*, or Jin?

*ahem* PLEASE VOTE FOR ME! I'M THE CUTE ONE HERE!!

Well, now that that's out of my system! ^_^

Mugen: Man, that was just desperation.

Jin: *mockingly* Big word for an ignoramus.

Mugen: Grrrr.... YOU WANT ME TO KICK YOUR WUSSY BLEEP!!??!?!

Jin: Let's begin, shall we?

Fuu: *blushes and turns to viewers* Ok then, well I guess we'll see you all later. Hopefully next time I'll be able to stay on schedule and update you all on what Sarah's been doing. I hope... Oh yeah - Don't forget to vote! Byyye! ^_^

   MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Hey everyone! I know it's been a little while since I've been on last. *blushes* Nevertheless, I did want to wish everyone a very

For all of you who may not know, Jesus is the real reason for this season. He came into the world as a helpless infant so that He could one day grow up and die for our sins. ^_^

Well then, have a super Christmas!

Oh, and here are some Christmas greetings some of my friends sent me.

This was sent from kitabug69. Thanks, Kita!

This next one was sent from bLuE eYeS. Have a great one, bLuE eYeS!

   Go ahead: I deserve it...
HIT ME!! I'm so sorry for being away for so long. I never meant for my absence to have been this long. O_O This may sound like a broken record, but a lot has been going on lately. ...Hey, do you like my new theme? ^^

*looks at last post, which was LONG time ago* Well, that was nice to hear of the things you all were grateful for. ^_^

Ok. So a lot has happened since I last posted. Ooo...like, I found a car! Whoopee!! It's a red '01 Cavalier SS with these funky silver things on the side. Not bad: I'm happy with it.

What else...Oh yeah! Now my finals are all over with for this semester. *yes!!* I think I got A's in most, if not all, of my subjects. Most of my classes were relatively easy getting through them. Well, 50% of them were, and they were all my non-music courses (Health and Geography). heehee...Ironic... Piano class was much more challenging (yet I learned so much) this time around, and music history of the keyboard was a bit tricky (but not too bad). Overall though, I really liked my courses.

As for some not so good news, I just recently heard that one of my childhood friends died. It's been 12 years or so since I've heard or even seen him; nonetheless, I was somewhat moved by all this. To think, he was here one moment and then gone the next. The brevity of life...

Bah...Sorry to end this post in such a depressing way. That was not my intention at all. >_< I hope you all are doing super! ^_^ *hugs everyone*
