I’m bored... I found that I can do this during my lunch period... if no one notices that I’m not on an educational website <.<>.> If some one does notice... that’s bad... So I type this up on Word, and then cut and paste it in a couple secs (with a Wiki page on the French Revolution open, so I can switch to it in case an adult walks by).
I think I might actually be able to visit sites later today. I’m not sure though. Hopefully though. It doesn’t look like I’m going to have much homework to do. I’m glad you guys like the new theme. I found out that my picture links weren’t working, so I’m going to put those up again. -^^- I think the new theme is awesome!!!
Lately, I’ve been obsessed w/ this amv I found on YouTube. It’s to the song Cartoon Heroes (speedy mix) by... I forget the artist. The song was originally done by aqua, but this uses a remake by some virtually unheard of techno artist. It uses the anime Ouran High School Club I’d put up the video right now, but I don’t dare go on YouTube during school. So I’ll give you guys directions on how to get to this video. Go to:
YouTube.com--->Type “Cartoon Heroes Ouran” in the search box---->Click on the last result (the one w/ the most hits/highest rating)
Yeah.... It’s awesome... And funny! -^^- I love it! I think I’ll put up the video when I get home, but not right now. Like I said, I don’t dare do it, b/c I’d probably get caught.
PS: I don't know what was up w/ my links before, b/c they weren't working. But I re-did them and they work now.

New Theme
I'm posting during lunch again... I probably won't have time to go online this afternoon... damn homework...
Okay, I just put up a new theme. My new theme is Halloween. What do you guys think? I think the background I have up in my guestbook is sorta funny. ^^” Can you guys hear the music? I can't! But I wanna know if it's just my comp, or if some reason it's not coming through.
I did this w/ my entire computer (and then I started on my site) What made me change my theme... It’s sorta random actually. I was playing around with my computer. I wanted to see if I could change the color scheme of the windows toolbar at the bottom of the screen. You know... the one w/ the start button. Anyways, I went to the advanced settings and I found out.... I could pretty much change the color scheme of my entire comp! -^^- It was really cool. Now the bar at the top of the screen, telling you what program you have open and stuff is an orange gradient instead of the default blue! I have the font set to Old English Text MT, and the window background is now black instead of white. The highlight color when you click on stuff is also orange! Okay... a picture is worth a thousand words (yes... I feel like torturing you w/ cliches) so I took screen caps of what it looks like now, and I’m putting them up!
Other random stuff:
1. Geometry makes my brain hurt
2. I carved the characters for “InuYasha” onto a jack-o-lantern! -^^- I have a photo of that. I’ve been meaning to scan it for ages. I don’t know when I’ll find the time though...
3. I washed the purple dye outta my hair last night. *sigh* u_u back to boring normal hair. It was fun while it lasted...
It's my lunch period right now. I'm so sorry I didn't get to any sites this weekend. I think, in total, it was maybe 2 or 3! T-T I just never seem to have time anymore.... Thank you all for visiting my site anyways.
I dyed my hair purple this morning. I wondered what would happen if I walked into school one day with my hair dyed, because I figured no one would think I was the type to do that. I've gotten a lot of compliments on it. Some random girl stopped me in the hallway just to ask me where I got my dyed. It's been sorta fun! ^///^ I'm not used to all this attention! I used the cheap kind they sell in the CVS costume section, since it's halloween, they're selling weird colors there. It's supposed to wash out immediately/after only 1 day. Maybe I should permanently highlight my hair in an unnatural color (like purple). You know... I keep typing puprl instead of purple. ^^"
I gotta go now. I forgot to do my science research homework over the weekend, and its due next period. <.<>.>

I just got back from my big state test! It started at about 8:00 and ended at about 10:00. I'm happy. It was easier than I thought it would be. -^^- I think I did well! I'm all celebrating right now because of it! Haha! I was wigging out last night. But I'm all cool now! -^^-
I now officially have time today to go and visit your websites. I think. I get the feeling I was going to say more stuff in this post, but my stupid test blew it outta my head. I'm gonna have my buddy ambi-chan (Chibi Koneko Girl) over in 5 minutes. So I'll see you guys!!!! -^^-

*yawn* what's up peoples? In case you haven't noticed, I put up new music on my site. The song is "Captain Jack" by the artist "Captain Jack". Ironically, this song actually sounds better as a midi. I found this site full of DDR midi's. It's located at: http://www.stepmaniafreak.net/DDR%20Midis/
*sigh* I still wanna figure out what to do bout our limewire probs. If you read my last post, we officially decided that limewire was the reason the amount of viruses on our comp has tripled! But I can't figure out how to uninstall it. It doesn't appear on the program list, so I can't use add or remove programs option. There's no button which says "uninstall limewire" either. >_< It's so annoying! At the same time though, I don't want to delete it, b/c I got so much music off it. I'm also worried b/c I get a virus scan pop up every few minutes saying that it's just blocked KaZaA. I DON'T WANT KAZAA ON MY COMP!!! My cousins had KaZaA while it was still legal, and it caused their comp to crash! I DON'T WANT MY COMP TO CRASH!!!! How did I get KaZaA on my comp anyways? I didn't download it! Did it come through the internet? Or through limewire? HOW DO I GET RID OF IT??? *panic* @_@
Something interesting: The other day this supposedly famous scientist (astro-physicist) named Neo DeGrasse Tyson came to talk to us about the universe and stuff... so he talked for a while about black holes and scientific notation and suns, and other stuff. The most interesting thing he said was that there's this asteroid coming towards the Earth which will most likely miss, but there's a very tiny chance (1 in 10,000 or 0.01%) that it will hit the Earth in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California in 2030. In my opinion, if the chances of it's hitting the earth are 0.01% then it's not the biggest threat in the world. I think he was saying more for effect (and to get people to buy his book) than anything else.
Today is my Dad's birthday so we're going to be out the rest of the day. I don't think I'll be able to visit your sites (I'm so sorry)! *sigh* I never seem to have time to visit anymore...
Other random news: This is my last weekend to study before my state test. I'm gonna fail... I just know it... T-T On a happier note, I spent yesterday expanding my pic collection. I saved a bunch of Air pics, and several of Kakashi. Something I noticed: no one seems to be able to really draw Sasuke well. On my computer I have a whopping total of 1 Sasuke pic. Oh well... can't have em all, I guess.

Yeah... The one day I was looking foward to b/c of no hw, I get bogged down w/ comp problems. >_< Right now, I feel very very very FRUSTRATED!!!! We have officially decided that limewire is the cause of the fact that our virus scan has been finding like a zillion viruses and adware and spyware. Only now that I want to get rid of it, I can't find an uninstall icon. It's not listed in the add/remove program list either. I've been searching through online help things... but so far no luck. STUPID LIMEWIRE!!!!!!!!!!! +_+
Also, our AIM has been uninstalled b/c mom thought it might be the cause (I still say limewire) but everytime I log in I get this message:
[QUOTE]"You have been signed in to AIM.com, but the Instant Messenger service is currently unavailable. Please try again later."[/QUOTE]
I FEEL LIKE EXPLODING!!!!!!!!! +_+ LIMEWIRE AND AIM: ROT IN HELL!!!!!!

I'm so sorry I didn't visit your sites this weekend! I'll try to find some time to make it up to you guys. I spent my weekend being forced to study for my upcoming state test in a few weeks. What is it with the state that makes them want to test us so much?
News
1. Well I'm happy to say I found the "browse" button in my AIM so now I can change my icon to something I like.
2. My limewire stopped working. I think I have to reinstall it
3. My virus scan has been blocking a program called "Kazaa". I know that that's a program like limewire, so is it possibly blocking the limewire? I'm not sure. But Kazaa is supposed to be illegal so how did I get it on my comp? T-T
4. I went to see the movie "The Illusionist" yesterday (a reward for studying the entire day). I rate it 6 out of 5 stars, and 3 thumbs up! -^^- I loved it!!!!! It's really cool and lotsa drama, and the ending is such a suprise!! ^.~
5. I'm working on a birthday card for my Dad. I'm using a myO account as the card (I'm not good enough at HTML to do a seprate site). It's not done yet, but you can see what's up so far at the MyO account "bday card". I have it up on my friend's list. The theme is YYH so I'm looking for a good YYH AMV to put up. Do you guys know any? I found several good ones, but they're all too girly.
Well, that's it for news.
YYH AMV: Graduation
Click on it to go to YouTube.com to see it, b/c it doesn't fit in the box I use for my posts.

Homecoming pep rally was yesterday. I'm not a pep rally person. It seemed like the point was to see how fast they could make us go deaf. I mean, it's nice and all if you're on one of the school sports teams, but is all the noise and ruckus really necessary? They say that people like me lack proper school spirit. Maybe I do lack school spirit, but I still say that the only thing i ever get fromt hose homecoming pep rallies is a headache. >__<
Good news! I just got AIM! Only I'm not sure how to work it... I'm used to AOL. AIM is supposed to have more stuff for the IMs than AOL does, but I"m not sure how to do that... I don't know exactly what the other features are either... ^^" There are a zillion sites selling AIM icons... but I don't know how to set it up! T-T It's annoying. Do you guys know anything which could help me here?
There's really nothing else to report. I'm working on a project English class (you'd think that it'd be history not English) but I don't think you guys would be very interested in that. XD

PS: it's 1:10, and I just took an IQ test. I scored 135 (average is 100 and genius is 144+)! I feel accomplished!

so...tired...went to sleep at 11, woke up at 4. Just to finish my science research paper. Thanks for the essay fluffing tips people. It's 5:07am right now, and I'm not really awake.

It’s 8:37, and once again, I’m posting instead of doing homework. Today, I’m supposed to be writing a 1 page essay on a short story we read. Okay, one page isn’t too much writing to do, but I can’t think of anything more to say about our short stories. I feel brain dead. So far I have about ¾ of a page. I wish I knew a good way to fluff my essay so that it takes up more room without actually saying anything more. Okay, so that will lower my grade, because my English teacher can recognize fluff, but still… My grade also gets lowered if I can’t seem to write an entire page! Wouldn’t it be simpler if I could write my one page essay in size 72 font instead of size 12? XD Ick… I hate essays.
Oh yeah, I have another state test coming up. Why does the state love to bombard its citizens with zillions of tests?? T-T It’s complete O.D.! Why? If we can write 1 good essay, we can write 10 good essays! That doesn’t mean we need to write 10 good essays in the span of a few days! Okay, so I’m exaggerating, but point taken, right? I feel so frustrated right now, because this is due tomorrow morning! >_____<
Yeah… Sorry… I don’t expect you guys to have more than a sentence or two to say about this, since it’s mostly frustrated ranting. Now that I’ve ranted a little, I feel a little less frustrated, so maybe my writer’s block will ease up slightly.
~xanth~
PS: If you have any essay-fluffing tips, please give them to me!!!
Well, it's the tomorrow. I spent this morning finishing that essay. I managed to extend it to pages. How? I don't know. It seems like a miracle. It's like... "Okay, if I take out the comma, I can make this 2 sentences. I will replace 'and' with 'yet again' to make it a couple words longer. I think I'll repeat this sentence, but not quite, so it sounds different but means the same thing." Yeah. I added a fair amount of that sorta thing. ^^"
Tonight I have to do another essay. This one is for the science experiment I did for science research class. Since we have a new teacher for this class, we did an experiment which any retard can handle: Do plants grow better in dirt or fertilizer? It has a "duh" answer. But anyways, I have to write a fancy lab report on that.
In other news, I think I failed that Spanish quiz I had today. T-T I hate spanish class. I need the credit though, so I won't be able to drop it until next year... assuming I pass this year. I don't feel very optimistic about Spanish right now. I wonder if it would have been easier if I signed up to take latin instead. I mean, it's a dead language but still... no speaking/listening language because it's dead!!! Well, anyways, no point in thinking about that since I'm already in Spanish.
Sorry if I'm boring you with my rambling. I don't think I'm a very interesting person. Most of my life these days seems to be taken up with school. *sigh* u_u I think I"ll go watch some Naruto now before starting on my HW
~xanth~
PS: I just uploaded my entire image collection from my comp onto photobucket. I'm thinking of putting up links/banners for my friends up again. Do you guys have any pics you would like me to use that you could send me the URL for? If not, I'll just choose something from my collection.
