   Bad news, hollow victory news, and kind of disappointing news.......
Alright,
Bad news: I haven’t gotten my computer fixed yet. >< Slowly but surly, the virus has been getting worse. More things are going wrong.
Hallow Victory news: Because of the virus, ComputerTime doesn’t run anymore, so I can go on the computer whenever I want. (yay) I’m glad about the unlimited time, but it’s the reason why I don’t like....
Disappointing news: This has been going on for a month now, I don’t know when I’m going to get this problem fixed!!! >< It costs about $200 to get the computer fixed, and neither my dad nor I have that kind of money. We only have $200 to get us through 2 weeks after taxes! And I’m guessing $75 of that will go to groceries, and there’s gas for the car.... Ugh. I hate it.
I really need to get a job as well, so I could pay for this. But I’m not really as confident about getting one as I was this time last year, since I tried, literally, 13 times to get one last year, and only got 3 interviews, no job.
And 2008 just isn’t my year this time around. ^^; too many things are going wrong. >_>

I'm sorry I've kept you hear to hear nothing but ramblings.And of course, I would never say things to try to get pity. It's just a rant, since this damn Trojan Virus on my computer isn't really my best friend..... *rolls eyes*
Thank you all who have stopped by! *hugs* I want to get back on track more than anything. I still need to do homework on here! X_x

See ya’ll later! (hopefully, with better news...)
<3! ~Kibou~

EDIT:
Your Opinion: If I payed for some of the expences to get my computer fixed, should my dad pay me back once we're out of this "money hole" and he has enough? (if it's coming out of what I have been saving?)

   Even Through It All....
A-ha! I made it around here! Yes, I still have the virus in my computer, I'm planning on getting it out this weekend, since this Friday my dad gets paid. I just hope it's not too much... *crosses fingers* anyway, I have some new art up! *dances*

   Convinced yet?
Well, I haven't gotten my comptuer fixed yet, not happy about that. ><
It actually got worse as this week went on. Last weekend, I asked my dad, "Can we please go or at least call best Buy to fix my computer?" My dad goans and says, "Ugh... money." (Kin of in a juvinnile way.) I asked him to look at the comptuer last night, whe I had proof soemthing was up. Shelly comes in and asks what he's doing, he just says he's trying to figure out what's going on with the computer. Shelly just says, "It has a Trojan virus." I think I FINALLY conviced my dad to do soething about it. Yes, I could possibly do it myself, but I think there would be more complex things going on that I wouldn't know what to do. *sigh*
I really want to get my normal-acting computer back. ><
So, I'm sorry about not getting to sites and the posts and stuff. -_-;; I just don't want to mess with anything until this whole ordeal is over.
Yami: Which hopefully will be soon.
Kibou: O_o where did you come from?
Yami: *pionts to the door* There.
Kibou: Okay then. ^^; Anywho...

*hugs minna* Miss ya'll!

IT’S A MIRACLE!
Yami: Well, a partial one, anyway.
Kibou: Last week my computer got a virus. I’ve been messing with it ever since. >< Everything was going wrong. (last post for details) But I got some removed, and I’m planning on calling Best Buy soon to get everything back in order. *nods*
Yami: Hope it works. There’s school stuff that needs to be done!
Kibou: Ah, yes, stupid English. I don’t like English anymore. So much stuff to write... >< My other classes, chemistry is ok. Not the best. I’m confused there. And my math class, Statistics and Probability is pretty easy. That almost seems like an English class, we’re doing more with writing than numbers! XD
Yami: and any stress you can take it out in Aerobics, yes?
Kibou: Yeeeees! I love Aerobics! *dances* My body may be tired afterwards, and sore the next day, but it’s fun! =P On Thursday the class jogged over to Lifetime Fitness (It’s a few blocks away) and I went on the treadmill and the elliptical. I went about 3 miles on the machines alone. When I was resting, my teacher comes up to me and asks, “Killing yourself again?” I just smile and say, “Yes!” ^^;
Yami: Yeah, that’s Kibou-chan for you. Doesn’t know when to stop. XP
Kibou: Yeah, so.....?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yeah... no story again this week. *stabs computer* Well, it’s not really the computer’s fault. I had a great idea from what’s going to happen, straight down to the punctuation marks, but I lost it. curse me for not writing it down right away!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Last Week’s trivia Answer: Espa Roba !
Congrats to:

Shizuka467 // koon
Dunpeil Dueliest // demon dragon
Jesus Freak

Ugh... can’t think of a trivia question this week. x_X Too much crap going to this weekend. ^^;
I will try to get to sites today, but I can’t promise anything. TT_TT Gomen, minna! I hope everything settles down soon.

Have a great weekend! =D

   Damn computer
Hey minna. ^_^
I have some....I'll call it... disappointing news. Actually, it really ticks me off.
My computer is acting really strange for the past week or so. I can barely open things, delete things, or anything. I opened up “My Documents” and found over 200 unknown files in there that I can’t get rid of because “another person or program is using” it. (Is that a virus?) With the internet, everything is messed up as well. Pop-ups of really random (and some disturbing!) ads are showing up. AND sometimes over 50 windows would open, one after the other, reading “syntax error”. >< I can do hardly anything on my computer now. So unfortunately, I’m not going to be on for a while. I hope that is hiatus isn’t long. And I hope things turn out all right soon. >< It’s just so aggravating!
I may be able to pop back in after a while briefly if anyone has any suggestions about how to deal with this. I thought about going to Best Buy for help. Any other ideas? Other places I could go for computer help? It'd be much appriciated! Arigatou!

Dinner is a success! ^^
Kibou: Dinner went well last night. Everyone enjoyed it. *dances* Made meh happy! =D
Yami: It was delicious! Too bad there aren’t any leftovers! XD
Kibou: But then you know it was good! So yes, everyone liked it. Afterwards, I showed Kana-chan a video I had been working on, then we got really hyper.
Yami: “really” is putting it very, very, mildly. ^^;
Kibou: To save my dad and Shelly from going insane, we went to Kana-chan’s house. It was fun, even if it was only for 1 ½ hours. ^___^ I had to go home wehen my dad called at 10:30. and It was Anime Night soooo....
Yami: didn’t want to miss that!
Kibou: Just missed a bit of Death Note, but I got it on tape. Ha! ^w^
Yami: We can watch it later tonight. *nods*
Kibou: What did you guys think of Blood+? I liked it. ^^ That was a bit of a plot twist there. I liked Saya’s dress... XD but I did love the whole episode with her and Solomon. I really want to know what happens next!

Quote of the Week:We can draw lessons from the past, but we cannot live in it.
-Lyndon B. Johnson

Video of the Week: Night of Fire - Seto’s dancing! XD XD XD



Kibou: Alright, here’s some kind of big news. Well, more like an announcement. I’m going to try out for the spring musical, Grease, at school on Monday. *dances & claps* Even thought out of singing, acting, and dancing the only thing I can to is dance... O_o I’m still trying out for it. ^^; Wish me luck! ^__^
Yami: I think you can sing pretty well, Kibou. ^^
Kibou: Mmm.... a few songs I sound good, not many, though. =/ I can sing “Happy Birthday” though! Heehee. It’s YLover’s birthday today! *huggles* Happy b-day, girl! Yes, I still need to get your birthday present done. *sigh* I’m sorry I don’t have it done yet. V_V I promise I’ll get it done as soon as I can! But I hope you have a great birthday! Sweet sixteen, is it not? ^_~

Sore.
Kibou: Ow. Ouch.... Ow. >< Stupid muscles hurt!
Yami: Well, you haven’t exercised for a while, but I’m sure the pain will go away soon.
Kibou: Before I confuse anyone anymore, I’m sore from Aerobics class. It’s really fun, but it kind of hurts if you’re not completely used to it. Anyway, onto the rest of the week...
Yami: Can you remember anything? It went by really fast this time.
Kibou: I remember that I had Monday off, started the 3rd Term Tuesday, had a horrible day on Wednesday, a pretty good day on Thursday, and a great workout on Friday. ^¬__^
Yami: Well, alright then! Anything else?
Kibou: ... I for got to say last week that Kana-chan is going out with James again! ^^ They’re so cute together. *nods* OH! That reminds me. I’m going to cook dinner tonight, and Kana-chan is comin’ over! *dances*
Yami: Ooh... the parmesan-crusted chicken is on the menu. ^^ Yum.
Kibou: I’m going to use the knives I got for Christmas. (yay fancy knives!!) ^^; Ok, NOW that’s it. XP

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Salih hurriedly looked left, right, and then left again. Anika was nowhere to be found. He turned quickly to the door but a small moan stopped him from his leave. Khalil sat up sleepily from his bed.
“Salih?” he mumbled.
“Yes, Khalil?” Salih answered softly.
“Is my sister ok? I heard her crying last night.” Salih nodded.
“Yes, I’m going to make sure everything is fine.” He told him. Khalil tilted his head a little.
“Okay,” he said quietly as he lay back down. Salih turned, but looked back behind him one last time before he left the room and continued looking for Anika.
“I thought I’d find you here.” Salih stated as he approached Anika on the roof. Anika was laying on her back, staring up at the sky. Her head now turned towards the sound of Salih’s voice.
“Hey,” she spoke, lifting herself into a sitting position.
“How are you this morning?” Salih asked as he sat down, joining Anika. Anika was hesitant to answer.
“Fine...?” she supposed. Salih knew that Anika wasn’t just “fine”. He placed one of his hands on Anika’s and looked in her eyes.
“Anika,” he began, “Can you tell me exactly what happened last night?” Anika was surprised.
“How do you know about last night?” she wondered. Salih looked stunned for a brief moment.
“I saw you collapse from a distance in the hall.” He told her. “I called out your name and ran to you as fast as I could to you.” Anika nodded.
“Oh... All I really remember is waking up from a nightmare and Atem was by the side of my bed.”
“Ah,” came Salih’s response. “Actually, I just talked with Atem this morning.” he recalled. “He told me that you were saying that Bakura had taken control of you.” Salih noticed he was becoming more tense as he spoke and paused slightly to calm himself down. “How do you think that could be possible?” he asked. Anika drew in a long breath and let it out slowly.
“I have been wondering about that ever since I awoke this morning.” She said, and closed her eyes as she spoke, “I have nothing.” Salih moved next to Anika and placed a hand on her shoulder.
“Don’t worry,” he told her. “We’ll figure it out. And I’m not going to let anyone use you again. Promise.” Anika, even though she was surprised by Salih’s embrace, smiled.
“Yes, we will. And... thank you, Salih.” Salih returned the smile.
“Anytime.” He assured her as he took his arm off her shoulders. Both entered a period of silence.
“Am I interrupting anything?” came a loud whisper. Anika and Salih looked over to the staircase leading down from the roof. The top half of Mana’s head was showing. Salih shook his head.
“No, you’re not.” He called over to Mana. He looked back at Anika. “Go do your little... ‘secret project’, Anika.” he laughed. Anika nodded with a smile.
“Something to get my mind off of last night for a while.” She thought and followed Mana down to her room.
The two girls continued working on their dresses from Atem’s birthday. According to Mana, one more session, and they should be done. After a while of neither of them talking, Mana spoke,
“Did anything happen between you and Atem last night?” she asked. Anika looked up.
“Well, no. Nothing between us, really.” Anika paused for a moment. “Why do you ask?” Mana shrugged.
“Well, Atem said that he wanted to see you later tonight, and it was rather important.” She explained. “Mahad told me to tell you.”
“Thank you.” Anika nodded. “I will do that.”

   It's Just One Thing After Another....
Just a rant for the past 24 hours or so...
Yesterday was VERY cold. The temp was about -15 and it felt like -40. O_o
Anyway, I had to get notebooks for school at Office Max. I asked my dad, “when could we go to Office Max?” My dad groans and says, “I’m not going out tonight. It’s way too cold. Can you survive another day without them?” I felt saying some smart-ass remark, but didn’t. Now this morning, I wok up on time, and was ready to go, but I missed the bus by just a few seconds. I saw it pull away from the corner, and then I shuffled back inside. I called my uncle, and he gave me a ride to school. (yay) He said he hit every red light to my house, and we hit ever red light to school I was a minute late, and I was REALLY not happy. It shouldn’t have happened. Chemistry was fine, but when I got to my locker, Kana-chan comes up and asks why I wasn’t in the lunchroom in the morning (I’m always there) I said I missed the bus, and I was going to say one more thing, that would take one second, but she cuts me off and tells me to tell her at lunch, so I felt like I got blown off. A minute before the bell rang at the end of English, I stood up, and a few people yelled at me to sit down, because the teacher hadn’t said we could leave. So I sit back down, but later stood back up to adjust my backpack, again, same thing. Gawd, everyone was ganging up on me in that class! >< A bunch of other crap happened between then and the rest of the day, but it’s nothing big, just enough to get me pissed off again. I really hope tomorrow is better and I don’t blow a gasket before the night is through.

Hope you’re all having a better day then me. -_-;;
Still love ya! ~Kibou~

   So It Begins Again....
Today was the first day of Term 3. I was bummed and excited at the same time. And also DREADING IT. X_x I was bummed because, like I said before, my friend Brent wasn’t there since he moved. TT_TT But I was very excited because my good friend Stephi came back! *dances.* I saw her in the lunchroom before shool and all of the sudden you hear: STEPHIIIIIII! *glomp* I was really happy to see her. (We have the same birthday. XD Random fact) It’s great with her there. (her art’s amazing) NEXT SUBJECT! I was also excited for my Aerobics class. *dances again*
Yami: and here comes the dreading part...
Kibou: I have Chemistry, English, and Stats. & Probs. this semester. DX So different and busy compared to last semester. Which means, I won’t have as much time to get things done. And there’s a lot...... *sigh*
There’s 3 things I HAVE to get done and will get done: 3 birthday drawings or presents.
Yami: I bet you can do it all. Just have to manage the time.
Kibou: No, days have to be longer! I need a vacation!
Yami: -_-; you just had a 3-day weekend.
Kibou: Ughhh...... O_O I’m not going to make it..... And with this cold weather. Yeah... REALLY not going to make it.
Yami: Well, that’s something that we didn’t think about it. FYI, it’s -3 out right now, and it feels like it’s -25. And it’s supposed to get even colder.
Kibou: Can you say, “Holy guacamole it’s freezing freaking cold!”? ^^;

Hope you all have a good not-busy week!
<3! ~~Kibou and Yami~~

   To Jump in The Middle
Kibou: *gasp* I saw anime last night! ^^; It was good thought!
Yami: Death Note, FullMetal Alchemist, and Blood+. Can’t fall behind with FMA, but with the other two, it was possible.
Kibou: But it’s alright. I can put together pieces. I think Death Note left me hanging the most. O_o things seem to be going to fast, at least, for me. Now I just want to watch all the rest of the episodes til then end. XD
Yami: Well, next Saturday is only 6 days away.
Kibou: *sigh* I can’t wait that long. Anyway, I think that Blood+ influenced my dreams last night. ^^; I was in a computer/Math class and my partner had brought a baby to class because they were babysitting. More random crap happened, as par usual in my drams. XD
Yami: happens when you watch TV then go straight to bed. =P

Quote of the Week: “A best friend is a guardian angel on earth.”
-Kibou

Video of the Week:


Kibou: Ok, I have a slight predicament on my hands.
Yami: Ooh... big word.... XD kidding.
Kibou: ... XP ha! anyway, Here’s the situation: My aunt is having a Southern Living Party. (Home decor) I’m invited, but I’m not sure I want to go. I would really only go so my dad and Shelly can have some alone time. (They were arguing and yelling about not having enough “alone time” Wednesday night, the yelling actually scared me a bit. -_-) anyway, the party is at 7pm Monday night, and I have to go to school Tuesday, and don’t want too much “excitement” before hand. So... do I sacrifice one peaceful night to make my parents happy? (which is something I want... but... i dunno.)
Alrught, that’s enough from me. ^^;

Hope you have a good Sunday and a great week! =D
