Yeah, it's about 5am right now. I woke up about an hour ago. I don't think I'm gonna fall back asleep, so I'm posting here outta boredom. ^^"
Not much has been up recently. Nothing has happened since my last post. I'm glad you guys all liked my new Fushigi Yugi Genbu Kaiden theme! I think it rocks major sox. I bought Genbu Kaiden manga #4 yesterday. It rocks. Now that I've read #4 tho, I dunno if I wanna read #3. XD
I think I'll hunt down an AMV to put up since I can't think of anything to write. Oh, I decided to make an air wallpaper for my desktop (it's gonna suck tho) and I ordered the Air series on DVD off the internet. -^^-

Air TV Prelude
hehe, recognize the song? yeah, it's the Air TV theme, which I have up as my background music. -^^- I know I said I'd put up an AMV, but I decided on this instead. The Air TV prelude is like a trailer, only for the entire series. This series is one of my favorites, and hopefully this will get you guys into it. ^.~
PS: It's about 10:44 right now. I feel wide awake (at least for now, but I'll probably crash later). I'm just announcing that I put in some nifty little codes in. So now I have entering and leaving pop ups, and my other wallpaper for guestbook etc, is now stuck so that it doesn't move (like this one!). Also, I found a code to change the title, and make all cool and stuff. XD I have to thank my friend SomeGirl for giving me the url for the site w/ these codes! -^^- *bows* Arigato (thanx)!
May the gods of sporks and insanity be with you,

Okay, I just put up my new theme. This theme is Genbu Kaiden: TakikoxLimdo (or is it Rimudo? The manga say Limdo, but the internet says Rimudo @_@). I hope you like it! -^^- I decided to keep the Air TV theme as my background music though, mostly because I love the song, but also because it sorta matches the romance theme. <3 I sorta miss my Air theme tho, I gotta say that I liked it. ^///^ Oh well, on with Fushigi Yugi.
I worked out this agreement with my Dad where I get one hour of "screen time" (tv, computer, video games, etc) each day. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get him to allow me more. >.< So I'll have more trouble getting to all your sites. But fortunately, one of the good things about split parents is that different houses means different rules, and my Mom doesn't restrict my internet time. So for half the time I'll get a decent amount of time on the internet. So I'll see what I can do about getting to your sites.
Well, I hope you guys like my new theme. -^^- I think I'll press enter a bunch of times now so that you guys can see this entire box. I like the pic I used for this box lots. It's really pretty. <3

Phantom of the Opera
For those of you who commented before 1:30, the song was Phantom of the Opera from Phantom of the Opera. It's their major theme. -^^- I was suprised only ElvesAteMyRamen and Chibi Koneko Girl (my offline friend who saw it w/ me) knew what it was. I guess not as many people saw it as I thought. ^^" Like I said yesterday, I saw it on Broadway about three years ago. It was a chorus field trip. We get group discounts on Broadway tickets. I think the music form Phantom of the Opera is really good. It's not really my usual style though since I usually go for Pop or Techno. ^^" It still is good tho. They made a movie for it too in 2004. Here's the movie trailer. -^^-
Yesterday
I should congratulate myself. Yesterday I got to pretty much everyone's site who updated. -^^- That's an accomplishment considering that I was out of the house for most of the day.
The first half of yesterday was spent shoe shopping. It's now summer, and my old sandals are looking too ick (for lack of better term) to wear. Also my mom has a graduation party to go to this weekend. So we leave my little bro at home and go to DSW which is relatively nearby. After a few hours we managed to find shoes for the both of us. Shoe shopping for me usually takes a long time since I have skinny midgety feet. Most stores don't even carry size 5 narrow, and then I have to go thru annoying salesppl! >.< Anyways, I bought this really pretty pair of green sandals. They are platform style with a low heel made of cork. Then they have a wrap around section made of green cloth which is fastened with a gold ring. I'd put up a picture for you, but I don't have a digital camera.
The second half of my day was spent at Borders reading Fushigi Yugi manga. I didn't buy any, but I'm now up to #7 in the original series and #3 in Genbu Kaiden. Which reminds me, when do you want me to put up my new FY theme? I was thinking within a week. What do you guys say?
When I got home, I put in an order for Air TV eps 1-13 on DVD. -^^- Which is why I didn't buy anything at borders, I was saving up for the Air DVDs. After that, I went and commented on all your sites. Sorry, I guess this isn't a very interesting post, but I'm not a very interesting person now am I? I don't know if I'll be able to get on the internet later this weekend, so I hope you forgive me if I don't get to your sites.

In sleep he sang to me,In dreams he came,
That voice which calls to me,And speaks my name.
And do I dream again? For now I find.
The [edited out for challenge] is there-Inside my mind.
Phantom:
Sing once again with me, our strange duet,
My power over you, grows stronger yet.
And though you turn from me, to glance behind.
The [edited out for challenge] is there -inside your mind.
Christine:
Those who have seen your face,
Draw back in fear.
I am the mask you wear.

It's me they hear.

Sorry if I edited out some of the words since they're a dead give away. Anyone recognize it?
Hint 1: It's from a broadway musical
Hint 2: The title of the song is the same as the title of the musical
Hint 3: The musical was made into a movie in 2004?, I think it was 2004
Hint 4: If you give up, watch the AMV for this song which I found on YouTube
AMV
Yeah, I've been obsessed w/ this song since I downloaded it onto my ipod yesterday. I'm not much for the movie/musical but I think the music is really good. Yeah, I have a thing for Broadway. ^///^ I saw both the movie and the broadway version. I thought the broadway version was better, but I think most people preferred the movie. I've also seen Aida, Hairspray, and Wicked on Broadway. I only own the soundtracks for Aida and Wicked tho. -^^-
Sorry if I'm not putting up a real blog today since nothing's going on. Well, did I mention that I've been outta school since Wednesday? I think I forgot to mention that in my last post. So I'm just sitting round the house, doing not much of anything. *sigh* I think I'm going to change my theme sometime soon. I plan on making it Fushigi Yugi Genbu Kaiden. I'm going to leave up my Air theme for a little longer tho.
later!
~xanth~
PS: Since no one seems to know what the song is, I'll just say it's Phantom of the Opera. Yeah, I like that song. ^///^ You ppl should see it. -^^- I'm suprised you couldn't guess, but maybe not as many saw the movie as I thought

Okay... Let's start from the beginning here. Sorry, if it's sorta vague, since I'm really just sorta skimming over this.
I woke up around 7 after an insomnia-filled night. I ate some leftover noodles for breakfast (weird for most ppl but normal for me). After that I went to school to take my biology regents. The test was easy I think I did pretty well on it. -^^- Although there were a few tricky questions, they were mostly easy.
Well... I got out around noon, and went to Haagen Daz to celebrate my friend Serenity's birthday. What's your favorite flavor ice cream at Haagen Daz? Well, I like rum raisin. Sorry, a little off topic there.
After that Serenity left to go to Borders, I went to her house to help decorate it for her suprise party. I got in charge of.... HELIUM BALLOONS!!!! *squeaky voice* this is f***ing awesome!!! Around 2-ish, Serenity gets to her house, and everyone's just like SUPRISE!!!! And she's just like O_O. The first couple hours of the party were sorta just spent hanging out and chatting and stuff. After that everyone got together to play the game Angels and Demons. I'd explain, but I'm feeling too lazy.
After the first few rounds though, I sat out because I wasn't feeling well. I started to feel really dazed. It was horrible! Anyways, about an hour after I started to feel crappy (about 6-ish), I called home and asked to be picked up. On the ride home my dad's like making a joke "you must have too much alcohol in your blood from that rum raisin ice cream, I should ban it." But I was feeling all brain dead, so I took him literally and was all like "Nooo! My rum raisin! X_x" Yeah, anyways, when I got home I figured, I was probably feeling all dazed and dizzy and crappy and brain dead b/c I hadn't eaten a full meal since like breakfast at 7:00am! So that's like 11 hours w/o real food! One of the first things I did when I got home was binge out on w/e was in the fridge, I was all like "OMFG! FOOD!" XD Soon enough, the food reached my brain and I'm all like "I feel much better now" ^^"
I have to put in a special thanx to my friend ambi-chan (Chibi Koneko Girl) sat by me the whole time I wasn't feeling well. She seemed convinced that I'd pass out if she didn't watch me to make sure that I was alright and concious. She's an awesome friend. <3 She's one of my best friends online and off. You should visit her site and sign her guestbook, b/c she rocks major socks, and makes a kick-ass friend! -^^- Ambi, if your reading this (which u better be +.+), thanks soooo much for staying w/ me last night, it really means a lot to me, and you're a great friend! *glomps ambi-chan* Anyways, like I said, she's awesome, so visit her site!
Before I leave, like I said in my last post, if any of you know how to get one of those blog-box thingys please tell/PM me how!
~xanth~
PS: Yes! I found the code for the blog-box thingy! -^^- Hehehe! <3

My father's day was pretty good. We visited a friend of the family who made a special father's day dinner. We got to eat spagetti, garlic bread, and chicken parm. (italian food is good). I drew my Dad a card by hand. -^^-
Yesterday was nice. Since there were no finals/regents I got to stay home all day. -^^- I called up my friend ambi-chan and we got to hang out for a few hours. We went to haagen daaz, and then to her place to play video games (yoshi).
In other news I read the first 3 Fushigi Yugi manga comics! They rocked my sox! -^^- I thought the funniest scene was where Miaka finds out the Hotohori is a guy.
Miaka: *feels chest* It's flat! O.o and down here *hands wander* there's a strange object which i know nothing about.
me: XD
Yeah... it was pretty funny. I'm oficially a FY fan now! I should change my layout to FY sometime soon. But for now, I'll keep the air theme, b/c Air rox!
I also finished the novel I was reading: Worldwar: In the Balance by Harry Turtledove. The basic plot is: What would have happened if aliens invaded during worldwar II? ok, I know that sounds weird, but it's actually really interesting. I give this book 5 stars b/c it rocked. I already ordered in the next book in the series. I recomend this book to all my otaku friends! -^^-
~xanth~
PS: Do any of you guys know where to get those blog-box thingies? I see them all the time on myO, but I don't know where to get them.

Yeah, I'm really sorry if I wasn't able to get to all your sites yesterday. I probably won't be able to visit today either. *bows* gomen. Yeah, we're pretty busy due to father's day. We're visiting people and stuff. I'm brain dead right now, so I'll just end this w/ Happy Father's Day, and I'm sorry for the shortness.

Alright, here's the news for today. The math regents was a breeze. Except for the second to last question (that was hard).
Yesterday I go to my comp and we have no internet connection. I'm all like O.o since I'm a complete internet addict. I had a suprisingly good day depsite that though. I finally finished this book I've been reading, and I got my characters some level ups in my (well actually I borrowed it from a friend) video game Phantom Brave. I also went out to the local Haagen Daaz and bought myself a milkshake. <3 Man, do I love milkshakes... -^^-
Sorry if there's not much to talk about today. It was sorta a lazy day yesterday. Oh, and I got 2 more guestbook signings! *thanx ppl*

To most people, that's like nothing. But to me, that's a lot. In the past week or two, it seems like I have another gb signing every day or two. I don't know how it happens, but I like it! -^^- Hehe, I <3 puff puffs, they're so damn cute!
I spent most of yesterday doing not much. Just hanging round the house, and collecting anime pics off the internet (it's my hobby). It was pretty boring. I found another person who posted Air eps on YouTube.com, so that's not a problem anymore. I need to find a way to convince my Dad to give me his credit card so that I can buy it on DVD. Yeah, I've been like an Air fanatic, lately. Oh well, wut can I say? It rox!
I have no other news, except that I'm taking a Regents state test in math in a few hours. >.< And f*** it! I don't have my calculator! *just realized* and I need that! O.o *panic attack* Ah no! I have a test in a few hours, and I don't have my calculator. And the only ones lying around the house are 4-function! And I need like a graphing/scientific calculator b/c this is algebra! And O.o noooooo!!!!! *has heart attack* *dies*
Yeah, I'm dead now

I'm so sorry I didn't get to your sites yesterday! *bows* Gomen!
I'll try to get to them later today. I promise I have a good excuse for not going to your sites.
You see yesterday, around 4-ish I went on the comp to go to your sites, but I wanted to get a few songs onto my ipod first. Only itunes decided to be a bitch. When I connected to my ipod, half the songs had a ! nxt to them. I'm all like wtf does the ! mean? According to the itunes help it meant that my files couldn't be found. So, I tried to redownload my songs onto the ipod, only itunes immediately shuts down w/ "itunes has encountered an error and must close we are sorry for the incovenience" So I start up itunes again and connect my ipod, and it shuts down again! T-T So I restart my comp thinking that it would be better once the comp rebooted. But no, this time it doesn't even open! Well, actually it waited like 15 minutes (I was ransacking itunes help at this point) and then shut down again. +.+ So I disconnect my ipod, and plug it in again. This time the itunes stays open. I deleted all the songs on my ipod. But when I tried to reload them again, itunes shut down again! So after that, I decided to manually load on my songs. I highlight the songs in my library, and drag it to the ipod icon. Just when it says it's loaded the songs, it shuts down again. I tried this about 10 more times b4 realising that no, that wasn't gonna work. Well anyways, I worked from like 4-10 trying to figure out what went wrong w/ itunes and how to fix it. In the end I was ready to murder my comp. But I managed to fix the problem. I set it to allow me to manually download songs instead of automatically doing it. After that, I downloaded each song one by one, onto the ipod. By this point, I had figured out which songs were giving me a problem, and deleted them (and I paid good money for them too T-T).
Meh... I still want to murder my itunes. +.+ *grabs torch and pitchfork* WHO'S W/ ME?!!!!!!
~xanth~
PS: NOOOOO!!!! I used to get Air episodes off youtube.com. But they got deleted. But... That was where I got my Air eps! T-T F***ing sux.
