Welcome to my site archives. 10 posts are listed per page.
I got to go on a manga-run yesterday. ^^ Though I didn't get to stay long. >< But while I was there I did get to read Rurouni Kenshin Vol. 20. I wanted to read Fruits Basket Vol. 12 first but they didn't have it. >< But I wanted to read RuroKen too so its not so bad. ^^ After I finished that one I started on Love Hina Vol. 1 (since I've heard nothing but good things about that series). I didn't get to read much of it (a few pages actually) since my mom came to get us (me and Nick), telling us about a sale over at Sam Goody, but we'll get to that later. Anyways, since I couldn't finish it I went ahead and bought it since I was really into it anyway. I also bought RuroKen Vol. 21. ^^ So we met our mom over at Sam Goody (this is in a mall btw). Apparently, SG's goin' out of business or something cuz everything was at least 40% off and there were signs saying "Everything must go". They had a few anime dvd's there but only in volumes. I'd rather buy the whole series if possible since I really don't like buying a dvd with only a few episodes on it. They had some anime cd's there (surprisingly.). There were alot of anime I've never heard of or have never seen so I couldn't know if the music was good or not. But I found a 'Fruits Basket' and a 'Wolf's Rain' cd so I bought those. I listened to both last night and they're really good!! I really like the song, "Stray" from 'Wolf's Rain'. ^^ My parents bought a few things, including a game for Nick. He wanted Metroid Prime 2: Echoes so they bbought it for him. It was like, $30 I think. He's playing it now and seems to be enjoying it despite the fact that he's never played the first Metroid Prime. Silly Nick! :P I usually don't like playing games out of order like that but if he's enjoying it, maybe I will too....once he's off the gamecube! That kid's been playing that thing all day everyday this Spring Break (which is probably why he hasn't updated his MyO since last week. lol).
But yea, after that, we went home. I didn't get to finish Love Hina cuz we had to rake leaves outside! >< Me don't like raking leaves! We have so many leaves so its really tiring after awhile. But we got done eventually. ^^ After that, I took a shower and went to bed.
So yesterday was a good day. ^^ I've been cleaning and organizing my room today so I haven't gotten to finish my manga yet. My room looks so nice now. Its actually.....clean! ^^;;; That's very rare for room! I can't keep it clean for very long. ^^;;;; I've been thinking about taking pictures of my room so you guys can see what my room looks like. Why? ....I dunno. I just feel like it! :P Let me know if you guys are interested then I will go ahead and take pics. ^^
Hey guys. Sorry I haven't posted since last Thursday. I haven't had a chance to get online all weekend! >< I read some of your posts and commented on them. I'll try to get to the rest later.
Hmm...its already 6pm...I'm not sure if anyone will even notice I updated today...oh well
I watched Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children today!! XD OMG!! I loved it!!!!!! (who didn't?) I also got to see "The Last Order" anime that came with it. It was pretty good. ^^ Yea, during the while movie, was pretty much hypnotized for the while hour and a half (maybe more but I dunno). I liked Reno, he was funny, especially when he hit that guy in the face and didn't even realize it. ^^ Though, I probably wouldn't notice either if I were in his situation. :P But yea, it was an awesome movie. I'd say that even if you haven't played the FF7 video game (which I haven't, btw), you'll still be able to enjoy it very much. I did. I wanna play the game now. ^^;;;
My cousin came over on Saturday and stayed the night. She wanted to watch DNAngel since she hadn't seen all of it yet. ^^ So spent most of Saturday watching it. Its a really great anime! If you haven't seen it, its definitely worth a try! ^^ DNAngel marks the 3rd anime that I've seen all the way through! The first one was 'Fruits Basket' then the 2nd was 'FullMetal Alchemist'. Speaking of FMA, they showed the 2nd to last episode on Saturday night. I won't give away any spoilers but imagine my reaction when I first saw the end of that episode! I was like, "NOOOOO!!!!" *cries* ><.
As you can see, I am back after over a week of stress from school and stuff! I just have to get through today and I can go home and enjoy my Spring Break! First thing I'm gonna do when I get home today, is collapse on my bed and take a nap!! lol But i gotta work today so I can't sleep too long. ^^;;
But anywho, about my History test on Tuesday. As you guys know, I spent the whole weekend studying my ass off for it! But I don't think I passed it! >< Why, you ask? Cuz I didn't finish it! ><,,,, OK, on one part of the test, we had to write at least 4 sentence about 6 events/people/etc. For example, 4 sentences about Technological Discoveries. So, that was the first part of the test. Then on the 2nd part, we had to write at least 4 and a half pages (more than that if we have big handwriting, which I unfortunately do!) on one of the three topics we gave us. I knew EXACTLY what to write but, we only had an hour and 20 minutes to take the entire test so I was not able to finish! >< I stayed a little after class for as long as I could so I could get as much done as I can but unfortunately it wasn't enough. >< The teacher had another class after us so we (the people still taking the test) had to leave, whether we were finished or not. I just hope he'll be nice while he's grading. ^^;;
As for my Sociology test, I spent tuesday night mostly studying for it and I think I did ok on it. I don't think I scored as high as I did on the last one (which was a 98) but I think I still passed. ^^
I have a paper to work on during Spring Break (oh joy -_-) But its not a huge deal really since its on a short story and not a frikken' research paper! We're gonna start on another research paper after Spring Break though. I hope this one goes better than the last one cuz I didn't really like the last one. ><
Anyways, enough about school!! Hmmm.....actually I can't think of anything else to talk about!....*thinks*....oh yea! While taking a break from studying, I made some Castlevania wallies. They're nothing much. I made both in one night so they're not the best that I've done. But I think they're ok. They've got a decent amount of downloads as of saturday night so I guess that's ok. ^^;;; The first one is Hector from Castlevania: Curse of Darkness and the other one is Jaochim from CV: Lament of Innocence. I also made a Loveless wallie but haven't submitted it yet. Its really cute though. ^^ I think so anyway. ^^ Right now, I'm working on some DNAngel wallies. ^^ One is Krad and the other one will be Dark. ^^ I'm not done with Krad yet, I'm still trying to figure out where to put some things. ^^ I'll start on Dark once I'm finished with that. I'm on a wallie-making spree aren't I? ^^ I really should be finishing up my drawings, though. Sorry, I get distracted way too easily. ^^;;;; Well, I have all of next week to do those so I promise that at least my cowgirl-elf drawing will be finished. I haven't had the chance to work on that one in a long time, so I definitely need to finish it. ^^
Its almost time for class so I'll go now. Sorry if my post is too long. ^^;;;; See you guys later! ^^// Comments (3) |

Taking a Break
Hey guys. How is everyone doing? Good I hope. As for me, I'm ok I guess. I've just been kinda stressed about school and stuff. I have 2 tests next week as well as an essay that I've gotta done done by noon tomorrow. But yea, one of the tests next week is gonna be a bitch!! I'm gonna have to spend all weekend studying for the damn thing that I have to take on Tuesday! Then on wednesday, I have a test in Sociology. That one's not as big a deal as my other test (which is US History BTW) so I'll probably just study the night before and that morning. Hopefully I'll do good on both tests, though its the History one that I'm worried about! >< Wish me luck, you guys. I'm gonna need it!! -_-'
So, since I'll be studying all this weekend, I probably won't get to update til maybe next Thursday. If I am online, it'll be b/c I'm doing research or something (for my essay). Yea, the good thing about that is cuz it'll be the last paper I have to write about abortion. After Spring Break, we're gonna start writing papers on a new topic, which I am hoping will be Gay Marriages. *crosses fingers* I'll be able to write good papers on that!! :D
So, I just gotta get through next week and I'll be able to relax for awhile. The week after next is Spring Break and my boyfriend will be coming back to Dallas so I may be able to FINALLY see him! Its been SO long since I've seen him! I just hope his family issues don't get in the way like they did over Christmas Break. Yea, that prevented him from coming to see me so I'm hoping things will go well this time. ^^;;
I got my last 2 packages yesterday! XD The first one was Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children!! XD I haven't gotten the chance to watch it yet and I probably won't get to til next weekend (for obvious reasons). -_-' I has 2 discs to it, one's the movie and one is the OVA. I'm not quite sure what the OVA is but I'm just glad I have the movie! :D The other package was 'Castlevania: Lament of Innocence' video game soundtrack! XD I love soundtracks!! This will make the 2nd Castlevania soundtrack that I've bought (the first one being Symphony of the Night). I listened to it yesterday whiel I was doing hw, and OMG its so good (though I knew that already cuz I've played the game. :P). It has a total of 48 songs (they're on 2 discs). My favorite songs on there are 'House of Sacred Remains' and 'Castlevania: Reincarnation'. 'Castlevania: Reincarnation' is pretty much a remix of songs from 'Symphony of the Night'. Its got a rocked out version of 'Dracula's Castle' and its so awesome! XD Only thing about the package was that the case was damaged, which I'm assuming it was from the shipping. But, the cd's weren't harmed at all so it was ok since the case can be easily replaced. (I already did that yesterday. ^^) SO, yea, here's a list of all the packages I've recieved (in no particular order):
-FullMetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shambala
-Final Fantasy VII: AC
-DNAngel dvd set
-Megaman X Colllection
-InuYasha movie 4
-Castlevania: LoI soundtrack
-The 2 L'arc~en~Ciel cd's (they came in the same package ^^
So yea, I ordered all those on eBay when I got my first paycheck. I new that would happen. I knew I would go on a spending spree with that money. ^^;; But that was just my first paycheck. Now, I'm saving the rest for school, A-Kon, and whatever else I need. ^^
I also got to read the first volume of Immortal Rain earlier this week. Its so good!! I forget who it was who suggested it. It was either Lindsey or Logan-kun. I have bad memory. ^^;; But thanx to both of them! b^^ I enjoyed this manga and I can't wait to pick up vol. 2! Rain is awesome. He reminds me of Vash (Trigun) in some ways. ^^;; Plus, he looks pretty good for someone who's over 600 years old! ^\\\^
Anyways, its almost time for me to go to class so I'll see you guys next week! I'LL MISS YOU GUYS!!! ><,,,,,,,,, *huggles everyone*
Hey. I stayed up late last night doing hw so now I'm really tired right now. I should be okay by the time classes start and everything. (I don't have boring teachers today, thank goodness! ^^) I'm feeling better today though so that's good. I still don't know why I felt sick though. Hmm...weird. 0o
Anyways, I forgot to talk about my brother's birthday party that was on saturday! ^^ Yea, it was fun. I got him 2 presents (well, 1 and a 1/2 cuz me & my mom split the cost of the second one). He loved them! I got him Megaman X Command Mission for the Gamecube (since he's been BEGGING me for it since it came out!!) and then me & my mom got him a Gamecube (kinda useless to buy him a gamecube game if ya don't gota gamecube!!). Lol, what was funny was that he opened the game first so he was really confused. He was like, "Wait, this is for gamcube, not PS2." I tried not to laugh and just told him that I made a mistake and he'll just have to wait to get a gamecube. He was disappointed of course...until he opened the other present! He was very happy then!! lol Yea, so he's been playing it all day everyday since he got it. Only thing is, the thing's hooked up in my room (since the PS2 is already in his room and there was nowhere else to put it) so it gets kinda annoying when I'm trying to do hw and he's on it. But he's not gonna be playing this weekend so that's good cuz I got a test next Tuesday that I REALLY need to study for! (Yea, I won't be online much, if at all this weekend. -_-)
Here's the 2 Vic videos I talked about yesterday. There's 2 today cuz these are really short. The 1st one's about 25 seconds long and the next one's about 42 seconds long.:
In this one, a fan asks him how he would react if someone called him a 'lousy pipsqueak'? Lol, Vic has an 'Ed Moment'!!
I have NO idea what he said...something about a grasshopper. 0o ^^;;
In this one, Vic and some other VA's had to play random characters and Vic had to play a character named Willie the Cyclops. I remember sitting there, watching Vic start writing or drawing something on a plastic cup and wondering what the heck he was doing? When it was his turn to start acting, I found out what it was he was doing, and that's where the video starts. Enjoy:
Hope you enjoyed all the Vic videos I've show you. There's more on YouTube if you wanna see them. They're all under the username 'cutetexasaccent' (and no that's not me, btw). Well, I gotta go. I probably won't update for awhile (MAYBE tomorrow morning but I dunno). See you guys later! Comments (2) |

Hey guys. Sorry for the long absence AGAIN! I've been really busy busy with and stuff and its just been really stressful. Still is, but yea...I'm so tired...stupid school *kicks it* Ow, my foot!!
I'm feeling really sick today. I've sick since yesterday actually. How sick? I've just been feeling totally nauseated for reasons I don't know. I couldn't even eat anything this morning cuz just the sight of food made me wanna puke! >< I just hope I feel better soon. I hate feeling like this especially when I have school (yes, I am here at school...I'm gonna try to get through the day..I hope I can.)
But anyway on to happier things. How do you guys like my new layout? ^____^ I likes it very much! Its Hyde, the lead singer of L'arc~en~Ciel in case you didn't know. ^^ Its was hard to decide what song to use so I just went with 'Lost Heaven' which is on the 'Awake' album (which I just got this weekend, as well as the 'Smile' album! XD). Its also the end theme song for the FMA movie! XD Lol, I finally got a chance to watch the FMA movie Friday night and OMG it is soooooooooo good!!! But you guys would definitely need to see the rest of the series b4 watching it or else you'll be REALLY confused!! I gave ya'll the link to the eps in my last post. There's only like, 3 eps left, btw. But you know, there not gonna release the Eng version of the movie til OCTOBER!! Psh! I'm glad I went ahead and bought mine now cuz I definitely wouldn't be able to wait that long! ^^;;; (I'm not a very patient person am I? hehe)
As I've said before, I got 2 L'arc~en~Ciel cd's this weekend!! The 'Smile' and the 'Awake' album! They are really, really good! That's all I've been listening to the past few days! XD
Well, I promised you guys another Vic video. In this one, Vic gets glomped by a fangirl.
LMAO, I actually took a picture of them but it came out REALLY dark so it was really hard to see what was in the pic! Oh well, I can still enjoy this video! Tomorrow (or the time I post) I'll put 2 videos on here since both of them are really short, but really funny!
I see that everyone who got to see yesterday's video of Vic enjoyed it very much! ^_^ Here's another one like I promised! In this one, Vic's telling us about this one time when one girl asked him to sign a certain body part! :P This one also involves Scott McNeil (Kouga from InuYasha). Hope you guys enjoy!
LMAO!! Scott you perv! :P lol
Not sure which one I'll show you guys tomorrow but I'll make sure its one that you'll enjoy as well! (Vic has some of the funniest stories! XD)
Anywho, my day yesterday was okay. I was getting very pissed off at the people in my sociology class! But I felt alot better once I let off some steam in my Xanga! But really, I hate stupid, ignorant people like them. I just hope its not the same on Monday! I'll totally lose it....okay maybe not but still, I don't feel like hearing their stupid comments again! -_-'
I got another package yesterday. It the Megaman X Collection for the PS2! XD I absolutely LOVE the X series so I'm really happy to finally get to play them again! XD I haven't play the first game in YEARS, so playing it again brought back some memories! :D I've got three more packages left that I haven't gotten yet but they should be here shortly! XD Can't wait!
Hey guys. I just got to get through today and can rest for the rest of the week. There's no classes tomorrow, in case i forgot to mention it. ^^; So, 4-day weekend for me!! Yay! ^__^
Lol, I randomly found some videos on YouTube from the convention I went to last year! Alot of them were of Vic so I had already seen alot of them but i didn't mind seeing them again since they were so funny!!! XD I'd love to show you all of them right now but I'll just go ahead a post them one at a time! Here's the first one. Vic's telling us (the audience) about what happened while he was recording one episode of FMA. Enjoy:
LMAO! There's more crazt stories, including one that involved Scott MacNeil (Kouga from InuYasha)! I'll show you guys that one tomorrow. :D
Our kitchen's just about done. Its looks really nice. We still need to do something about the walls, though.
I got another package yesterday! XD Its the FMA movie! I haven't gotten a chance to watch it yet since American Idol came on and I wanted to watch it. But I actually wasn't really paying attention to it. ^^; I really don't like most of the girls this season (just like last season). I'll be watching the guys tonight though. I think they're better than the girls this year. :) But anyways, I'll watch the FMA movie sometime this weekend. Yes, I am aware that it takes place after the series but I've already seen the rest of the episodes on YouTube. (if you click on that link it'll take you to ep. 48 which is the next ep they're gonna show on Adult Swim. To watch the next one just type 'fma 49' in the search bar thing. Do the same for the other eps. ^^)
Anyways, this post's getting kinda long so I'll let you guys go now. ^^;;
Man, MyO was actin' funky yesterday! It said that certain people had updated but when I went to read their posts, there was no new post...weird. I think its working ok now. If you missed yesterday's post plz read it. ^^ Thankies. ^^
I'm very tired again today. That would make the 3rd school day in a row! >< I don't know why I feel like this...maybe its the stress, but I don't know. I'm really glad there's no school Thursday cuz I have no energy this week. -_-' *sigh*
My watch died this morning. (Actually the battery just died but whatever! :P) So today I have to wear the watch that my grandma gave me for my birthday last year (I haven't worn it once yet...not til today). >< I feel weird wearing it cuz its so small and girly! ><,,, Girly = BAD!!! XP Oh well, its just a watch I guess...but still it feels weird...
I didn't get to finish DNAngel cuz I had to help my dad with the kitchen (read last post to see what I'm talking about) After that, House came on. That was a good episode!!! At first, I sorta felt sorry for the girl and thought her dad was a perv!! By the end, I hated the girl and felt sorry for the dad cuz it was the other way around!! (Whoa, didn't see that coming!!) Don't know if there's a new ep tonight or not...I forget. ^^;; Hopefully, cuz the next ep is supposed to be really good, too (as all the episodes are! lol)
My head hurts now. Its been hurting off & on since Sunday night. Its not as bad now but hopefully I'll be better soon.
Man, its been a bust weekend for me!! Me and my family are remodeling our entire kitchen. So on Saturday, we ripped out the cabinets, the countertops, the floor, EVERYTHING!! That took all day to do. Then on Sunday, we put in new flooring, new cabinets, and installed a dishwasher. (we didn't have one before. We live in a very old house!) We still need to put the new countertop and stain the cabinets. Even right now the kitchen looks alot better! I wish we coulda taken before and after pics to show you guys, but nobody thought of that before we started working. Maybe I can find other pics that we took in the past or something. It looks very different!! ^__^
I remember I mentioned buying some stuff off of eBay on my last post. Well, this weekend I got 2 of them. XD First, on Friday I got the 4th InuYasha movie!! XD It was so good!! I loved it!! Then, on Saturday I got all the episodes of DNAngel!! (my cousin's gonna be so jealous! :P) I didn't have time to watch all the episodes unfortunately. -_- I only got up to ep. 15 or somewhere around there. (I haven't seen all the eps yet. ^^;;) Nicky-chan's watching it with me and he's liking it alot so far. ^^ I'm thinking of taking it (its a dvd set, btw) to A-Kon to have Vic Mignogna(sp?) sign the pic of Dark that's in there, since he's gonna be there at A-Kon again this year. ^__^ (He does the voice of Dark in case ya didn't know) I've already gotten him to sign my FullMetal Alchemist poster of Ed. See?:
I'm so proud of that aren't I? Lol, that's a Vic-fangirl for ya!! :D My brother wants to meet him, since he hasn't yet. ^__^
I saw a couple of movies this weekend too. I saw 'The Fog' (The new one). It sucked! The old one directed my John Carpenter was way better! (His movies are awesome!! 'The Thing' is my favorite of his! ^__^) I also saw 'The Brothers Grimm'. That movie was good. It was really funny!! :D Heath Ledger was acting very...feminine on some parts. Me and my mom kept saying that he was practicing for 'Brokeback Mountain'. Lol. But yea, its a really funny movie!
Mmm...sexy Hyde!! <3 (Oh yea, next month's theme will be Hyde. I've got everything ready for it already. I just need to choose which L'arc~en~Ciel song to put. We'll see. ^^) Comments (2) |
