Okay, now I can socially blog! *is still burning CD's*

Of course, lovely layouts by Zeruel. It's almost enough to hate him. ^^* Keep up the good work!

NnM is still neglecting her poor little blog. Eh... I'm one to talk. ^^ I got Seiichirou Aoki on that test.

Ummm... I'll think of more to type later, at the moment, I'm nearing the second to last CD to burn. I think there were five or six all together.

Well, the redecorating of our house is almost 100% complete. At least the office has been put back together, and life is somewhat back to norm (except for the movement of furniture, change of color, and new floor).

Thanks for whoever actually saw the SC layout.

And now, I have to burn many CD's that I borrowed from NnM. ^_^ Ciao.

Well, I finally have plans for the Fourth of July. Okay, okay, so I always have plans on the Fourth of July with Bree. It's like a tradition, just like New Year's is always spent at her house... at least, for me. Oh, don't get us wrong, we're pretty unpatriotic people. We get together because we like to defy society... or something like that. Bree made up a good explanation way back when that I can't remember right now.

Finished The Sword, reading Garth Nix's Sabriel. Glad I get to go back to Barnes & Nobles on Monday, I need new books. I really should start investing in renewing my library card. I don't think my cash is gonna satiate my sudden thirst for literature.

Gonna start working on a Silent Carnage and an XVII layout. I don't feel like working on the skin right now. I shouldn't put it off, though. Also, I need to do some housecleaning after work tomorrow. My room's a mess. My closet doors keep coming off their runners too. It's really pissing me off.

Anyway, now I'm just babbling, blah blah blah. None of y'all actually read this anyway. ^^

That interview today was the single, longest interview I have ever had in my life. It lasted one and a half hours. She was mostly talking about bartending, and how I have a very small chance at getting hired since I'm still a minor, and everyone there has an obligation to serve alcohol. Oh well, at least I'm trying. Next Monday, I'll be turning in applications to Bed Bath & Beyond and the library. I'll probably pick one up at Barnes & Nobles too, just for the hell of it. Nice, quiet place with air conditioning and a cafe that serves good coffee: What else do I need (besides money)?

Still finding myself drawing weapons, but not so much anymore, now that I have nifty books I'm reading. Three at once, a feat for me. Deborah Chester's The Sword and The Crimson Claw and Stephen King's Dreamcatcher, even though I had to stop reading that one because I was getting a little nauseous at the part where McCarthy dies. I had a fourth going, but I finished it: Dean Koontz's Lightning. Yeah, two of those books are repeats. Eh.

Yeah, skin is just rotting away. I'll probably finish it one of these nights when I can't sleep and have nothing else to do. Although I doubt it with my new collection of books to read.

Anyway, I'm kinda tired, but not really. It's more like I'm restless. Maybe it's the warm weather.

Anyway, I got my sketchbook back. I'm glad. Happiness for me.

Well, tomorrow I'm going to go meet Joe (the best gay guy I have ever met. All the others I know are pretty bitchy...) at Barnes & Nobles to buy books, scope guys (for him), and discuss literature over coffee. Then, I'm going back to Mount Tahoma because someone supposedly found my sketchbook, and it is now in holding.

Whee, and in a couple of weeks, David and I are going to a concert. Where and who, I'm not sure. He won't divulge that information to me yet. -_- Blame it on the whipped cream. Birds of pray. *inside joke* Sorry.

Went to the oriental market in Seattle with Bree and Kate the other day. Bought the next X/1999 thingy: Rhapsody, and also bought book one of the Cowboy Bebop manga. I was searching for the rest of Fushigi Yuugi on VHS, but all they had was the whole set on DVD. Ah, well, I can buy the last three tapes, then spend my money on the Cowboy Bebop DVD Box set. ^_^ Yes, I am in dire need of a second job. I think I'll go work at the library.

Anyway, I'm sick. Damn you, Theara, and you too, Andy, for getting her sick. I got David sick. The cycle just never ends.

I studied the wrong things for math. Argh. Oh well, hopefully I did good on it. Got a 91 on my English final. I'm not too sure about my Bio final, didn't have all the notes. Oh well, I think I did okay, even though those questions were a little on the difficult side.

Bought a new sketchbook. No sign of the old one. I've a new interest in drawing weapons. Maybe my rage is manifesting itself, or something along those lines.

How the fuck am I supposed to study when my parents won't leave me the hell alone?! "You have a college recruiting letter" that I so happily opened for you! "Eat dinner," "clean the house," blah blah blah. I need to study, damn it!

As you can tell, I'm pretty pissed of right now. Somebody stole my sketchbook during third period today during finals. I was, and still am, ready to kill whoever took it. I was just starting to get good at sketching in pen, too. Dumb ass fucking people are real low-lifes when they'd take a sketchbook. Seriously, what're they gonna do with it? Pawn it off? HA!

2002-06-16T20:02:00.000-07:00

Yeah, I am looking for a second job. Way too many bills to pay. Yes, I have bills. A hundred dollars plus for the next three months at least. Once I get my car, that may raise little. Billing list thus far:

1. Car (Applicable in July) - $3,500 or less
2. Car insurance (applicable in August) - hopefully no more than $80 a month
3. Drill Team Uniform (Continued for the next four months) - $100
4. Cell Phone Bill (applicable in September) - $50
5. Other living expenses (Continued until death) - $200 average

Yes, I may be making five to six dollars an hour on average at the comm. (part time/about 20 hours a week), but I'm really not getting anywhere with the money. Half of it goes into the bank, the other half is for more trivial items (though I usually spend it on lunch/food). I need the second job mostly for the summer since I have a lot of time off. I also have to pay for driving school later this month. It is an expensive life I lead.

One month anniversary today for me and David. I didn't know, nor did he... someone had to tell us. Sad, isn't it?

Dad got a bunch of expensive crap for Father's Day. A DVD/VCR, a car CD player stereo, two shirts, and candy. Okay, the candy wasn't that costly.

And, at the moment, I'm studying for finals this week. Yay.

It seems that I've forgotten my History book at school and can't study for my make-up test tomorrow. *sigh* So now I'm stuck with the 'net. Ten days left of school, ten days left of 'I'm tired of this crap' or 'I'm too busy'.

... Ten days left until I'm utterly bored out of my mind.

I think I'll work on a new layout after I get done with the Wolfwood skin. Whenever that'll be.

Oh yeah, I've got "minor" (if there is such a thing) food poisoning. I am not happy.

2002-05-29T17:01:00.000-07:00

Currently, I'm stuck on what I should do for the skin. But right now, I feel like ranting:

Today, I finally figured out what I didn't like about my Knowledge Bowl coach. She's an elitist hypocrite. Okay, it's a long story, first, it was about bus passes. I said that they were for people in the writing club, when truly, I was just giving them to my friends so they could actually have a ride home. She found out, and as a result "lost all faith in" me because I lied. (Okay, lying was wrong, but at least when I get caught, I admit that I was indeed lying, instead of trying to cover up my tracks.) What a bunch of bullshit. She basically told me I was dirt, and I'd have to earn my way back up to her wonderful standards. Why did she flip out? Because I'm one of "her Knowledge Bowl" people and she could never expect a thing like that from me. If I wasn't in her precious little club, she probably wouldn't've cared as much. I felt like just saying to her that I'm glad she puts me at the level she thinks of everyone else. I hate being put higher than others just because I'm doing something they aren't. Ha! Treat me like the dirt you treat every other non-KB student. That's the way I'd like to be treated. I don't need special treatment from the likes of an elitist like her.

I am human, whether I like it or not. She expected me to be the most honest, outstanding person ever just because of KB. How stupid is that? Honestly, she's asking that I not be a normal high school student. People lie. It's just something we do. I understand that it's wrong and bad, but I was trying to help some friends. If she ever confronts me about her lost faith and utter injustice done on my part again, then I'll just look at her and laugh. I'm normal, even if my little file says I'm gifted, or highly capable, or some fucked up shit like that that makes me "incapable of doing wrong". I am like everyone else. Fuck this induviduality bull shit I've been hearing. "We're all different." That's what causes fights and arguments and wars. Differences. Maybe it's about time we start realizing the importance of similarity.

2002-05-23T20:33:00.000-07:00

Finally decided to work on a new skin:

It's a kind of "eh" skin so far, but I'm working on it.

Yes, I'm in my third period drafting class right now, doing absolutely nothing productive. We're done with our project, we're just waiting to get the painting done. I'm bored.

Great Boyfiend Hunt 2002 is officially over. Yes, I found one. ^^ I have a better feeling about this one. Honest.

Sorry for not blogging for a while. I've been pretty busy lately, with work and extracirricular activities and such. I'll start up again after school gets out.

2002-05-16T20:42:00.000-07:00

Finally got around to doing it:

2002-04-22T17:27:00.000-07:00

... Today, I found myself in the shadow of another human being. It was an almost exhilarating experience. Well, I've known this person for about half a year, and I would have never guess that his IQ was either near or over 200. That person was Kai. I can't say I'm very suprised; he is a very eccentric person but I would've never thought. Now watch as I sit in awe.

[introspection]

I also found out today that people I thought were just friends held me in regards as a sister or something along those lines (okay, so Antonio had put it more like "We're very close friends that can talk about anything", but the others said sister). It's sort of a startling revelation to me. If you think about, would you want everyone to look up at you like you're supposed to help them when they need it, or lead them when they need to be led? Of course, it's a nice idea when you don't actually think it's happening, but it's frightening. I mean, what if I screw up these people's lives? I'd probably have a guilty conscience that would never go away. *sigh* The things you notice when you take the time to. I dunno; maybe it's because I really don't feel any real sympathy for anyone or anything, and I can think logically (well, mostly logical, anyway) in all sorts of situations. Yelling won't phase me, nor crying, tantrums, rage, humiliation, fear... almost nothing. I automatically go into a stoic state of mind that sometimes gets me in trouble or keeps me out of it. I dunno, just another thing to talk to my psychiatrist about.

[/instropection]

Well, as for anything else worth mentioning in my day, Drill Team tryouts started again. Heather and Tanya are two of the seven judges, and they don't exactly find me good company. Sad, sad world we're living in.

WASL's are evil. I hate test taking.

Anyway, this morning, I went marching in the Daffodil parade in downtown Tacoma. We waited for two hours out in the 45 degree weather and only marched for about an hour, maybe less. I can't say it wasn't fun, because it was. :)

People born with this often have a cat-like cry, This disorder can be traced to chromosome #5 where the upper arm of one of the chromosome pairs is missing. Crit du chat victims are mentally retarded, have small heads, wide spread eyes, low set and small chins, small mouths, and low birth weights.

Interesting how I was the only one in the group that was a guy and had a genetic disorder. >_>

Thank you for the nice comment, Wing-san! And yes, the Outers are so much better. ^^;;

And people have been doing pretty bad on my friend test, as I have predicted. I warned y'all they were hard. Well, half of them, anyway.

I beat Final Fantasy X. The ending was not all that great, but at least it was sad. That sort of made up for it. So, I'm playing Xenogears again. Out of all my games that don't have replay options, this is probably the only one I'd play twice (errr... or is this the fifth time? I've had to restart several times).

I'm only posting now because I'm sick (have been for about two weeks) and I'm gonna update soon. Why haven't I updated already? Because my wallpaper isn't done. I'm a little too sick to think of anything important to say other than that.

I may have a new layout later, too, either for XVII and/or Ample Parking. Haven't decided yet.

It's all about the Rolling Stones, man. The Beatles are wimpy.

Well, anyway, right now I'm gonna go finish chapter seven, eight, and nine of All Quiet on the Western Front. I sincerely hope Himmelstoss dies a horrible death.

I couldn't resist:

I don't tend to think so.

Well, anyway, I need to keep my creative output to something other than blogging. (Oh yes, here comes another hiatus. Don't y'guys just hate that?) So, I'll be coming on every once in a while to say stuff about updating, but other than that, I'll probably be quiet for a few weeks. ^^;;; Sorry.

My friend test score only states that I know nothing about Rhian. That I already knew. But at least I got one question right. ^____^

Blah, I need to go shopping. Stupid nylons. I keep tearing them.

Fizzle-pop. I can't believe I actually had homework today. First day of the new semester, and I had homework to do. Insane. I don't like some of my teachers. However, I did get my first taste of Drafting Tech. 1 today. I get to draw and do stuff with computers and a 3D printer and play with AutoCAD 2000. ^_______^ I like playing with new things.

Skin should get done by next weekend. Why so long? Because I have Winter Formal on Saturday and on Sunday I need to go to Christina's again. Then I just have a busy week, and then next weekend I should be pretty much free except for turning in an application for a job. (I really need one.)

I have to go to Christina's, so here's a preview of the skin I'm working on. ^___^

It looks better than the first time I tried working with that image. Trust me, you don't want to see that monstrosity.

I updated ccNET last night, I just don't remember with what. Speaking of which, divinest Sense was commented on. Basically, a person was stating, "bad web design, nice skins." *shrugs* All over a resolution.

Well, finals are over, got my schedule for second semester. ^________^ Life is grande.

Winter formal is Saturday. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

You tend to prefer your computer to any console, and you seem to be on the sarcastic side, especially when compared to your Penny Arcade sidekick Gabe, but that's okay. Cause you do do most of the writing and HTML work around there, and even if you get overshadowed by Gabes art sometimes, you know you're the REAL genius around there. Just watch out for radio active scorpions...

I thought I blogged yesterday... Hmmm...

Well, out of the two finals I've taken so far, in History I got a 100/100, and in Bio I got 99/110. ^__________^ Happy is me. I could've done better in the Bio midterm though... Tomorrow I have a Trig exam, Health 2 exam, and Lit exam. *crosses fingers* I hope I do good on the Trig and Lit ones.

Refined, elite, with impeccable taste in the finer things of life... that's you. Because of your tendency to look down on those who you think are on a lower level than you, people may think you're arrogant, but hey, who can blame you? You've been there, done that, and are pretty darned good at whatever you've put your heart into doing.

Well, no updating, but I did start on a skin. I would be more along, but Trevor called and asked if I wanted to go to Levi's house and watch a movie with him, Levi, and Kira. I said okay, and then had some fun.

Still snowing. ^____________^

Well, envy was down. Bargh.

I think I'm coming down with something. Probably a cold.

GC's new favorite word: Misanthropic

I will work on a skin, I swear. I mean... after I do my homework. ^^;;

Levi and Trevor came over last night around 7:30, and it started snowing just then. Very pretty. We talked outside in the freezing air for about 2 hours, and I was pleasantly refreshed by Levi's eccentricity. I don't get to see that very often. Oh, and then Rachel called me and said I was "it". I haven't played phone tag in years. I wasn't about to start again either.

Maybe I'll update Ample Parking too... I've been meaning to do that.

Thanks, Z-kun, for the polite mention of my layout. ^__^

2002-01-22T22:03:00.000-08:00

Yes, I went for simple again. The colours are kinda weird, but overall, I like it better than most of my more intricate layouts. ^_______^

I just remembered I don't have Lit. tomorrow, so I'll do the homework then. That's where I found the time for the "new" layout. (It's not really new, I had the skelton of it sitting on my harddrive.)

Random phrase coined by GC (again): "Are we real? or just someone's dream? Does this dream ever end?"

Bwahahahaha! I love finals week! XD The only part I'm a little shaky on is my Lit. class, but I usually do well in that class nonetheless.

It took 5 hours for my pain-killers to work... Is that bad, or is my digestive system slow today? Well, whatever.

I get to go to Wilson Thursday, and Grey tomorrow. >XD I like going to other schools, it's like going to a foreign country, and I usually scare the hell outta people. *is lovin' the idea about leaving a message on the board for Briana*

Anyways, I've got Lit. homework to do. Ciao!

I worked three hours on a new XVII layout, and then I decided not to post it. I hated the blasted thing, maybe I can do justice to Xenosaga in one of my later layouts.

Speaking of which, Z-kun's layout disturbed and dazzled me. It's well done. ^^

And, at the moment, I have nothing to say because I played FFX most of the day. Plot twists a-plenty.

Gee, thanks for telling me earlier. I hate it when you cancel the last minute on me, and you do it more often than you think. Well, whatever, then I can't take you to the store to buy that stuff for TATU because right after dress/junk shopping, I'm going straight to the play.

No, I guess I couldn't expect any less, Z-kun. ^^;; You're such a nice guy.

Gaaaaaargh... I may have pink-eye. Why did Aubrey have to suddenly get it? >.<

I am, by pure chance, still alive. I haven't been getting home until around this time since Monday (which means I've been averaging... 15-16 hours school days). I would be asleep right now if I didn't have to take a shower, do Bio homework, and find evidence in a book for a debate we'll be having in class for both sides. >_> I wouldn't be on my comp. if I didn't have stupid homework.

DNA and RNA, goody.

Good news though! Z-kun bought me an AFI CD!!!! Thank you so much! ^_____^

Anyway, I haven't had any real time to catch on social blogging, so... maybe Sunday, I'll finally be able to get some real sleep and write more.

But until then, I have hope on surviving.

Another busy week for me, which means I won't be really updating at all. >_> I have drama everyday until Saturday, TATU meetings to go to, KB meets, and Drill Team practices/performances. Yeah, yeah, if I'm not too busy next week, I'll try to update with something.

Jake did not have any pants. And that is another long story.

Well, what happened to all that talk about layouts, skins, and whatnot? It seems that the normally good computer has decided to crap out. Yes, it is dead and it has all the images and stuff on it. I need to reinstall Windows. I feel kinda bad for badmouthing my Aptiva now.

Drill Team performed tonight. I am so bruised and sore. Christina's mom kindly pointed out that one of the bruises on my knees looked like a burn mark. >_> It hurt like it though.

CPR!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Sorry.

Z-kun, congrats on the re-opening of Anime-skins.com!!! But, you're missing the Krad skin from way back when that NnM and I sent you. ^^;;; Trust me to notice a little thing like that.

You will marry JAMES BOND (most recently played by Pierce Brosnan) from the James Bond movies, live in many expensive penthouses filled with many girls and many martinis (shaken, not stirred), and spend your days driving explosive foreign cars and spying on villains with big egos and small brains.

I'm probably gonna get the niftiest woolcap for my birthday!!! XD Maybe my birthday won't be so bad this year! ^_______________________^

Okay, shameless me, but do y'all think you could get me a present? You can get me something here! ^^;;;;

Random phrase: "Why does my FFX character attack enemies with plush FFVII characters?"

Speaking of which:

You're Lulu. You seem a little insensitive to those who don't know you very well, due to your cynical nature. Your mind is always thinking of things, big and small. You have a tough time of letting go of the past. You also like to bash people with plushies for fun and then fry them up with some tasty magic~! XD

Which Final Fantasy X Character would YOU be? Take the test.

I wanted to be Auron ;_;

Well, as for homework, I need to finish typing all of the requirements up. Geh... this will not be fun.

Random phrase coined by GC: "Sir, I have reason to believe that you're dead. How sure am I? Oh, about 70%."

I know I said I'd update and stuff, but I said I'd do a lot of things that I haven't. I'm only on the computer now because a) I have a project to finish by Tuesday. b) I have nothing to read. c) I don't feel like playing video games. Maybe I'll update with something tonight.

I have rejuvinated my interest in colouring with markers. They're so much fun to play with. ^___^

Well, a week until my birthday. *sigh*

Oh yeah, about my project... I'm making my own country, right? and I only have four more left. I kinda need help on one of 'em...

Requirement #16: Explain you country's basic philosophy. What do your people believe in? What are your opinions about things like dealing with other countries, competition, world domination, etc.?

I find this question difficult to answer because my country, Traethan, is an anarcho-capatalist nation (and yes, I know it would never work, but I didn't want to choose a republic/democratic/communist/etc. one like everyone else). And, to add some more misery, it's neutral territory.

The last requirements are as followed:

17. Mascot (dragon, er, flying serpent, since that's what's on my flag)
18. Making a frontpage of a famous newspaper including title, date, headline, articles, pictures, etc. (I'll do that tomorrow)
19. My own creative contribution (some sort of food... I'll get extra credit that way)

NnM, what should I name the beaches that Celate and Lasette sit on? I forgot about naming the major bodies of water and beaches. >_> Heeeeeeeeelp meeeeeeeee. Oh yeah, and give me a name of a major mountain besides Mt. Krune... That's already in the Anemo Range.

Oh yeah, here's the clothing thing that's been floating about:

# 1 Goth
# 2 Raver
# 3 Skater
# 4 Hardcore Punk
# 5 Funky alternative *unique*
# 6 Emo
# 7 Prep
# 8 Flashy/Slutty
# 9 Ghetto
# 10 Sporty/casual

... Goth... I understand Raver and Skater... but Goth?

I bought Final Fantasy X today during my trip to Federal Way. I had myself strapped to the couch playing it for about 4 or 5 hours straight. Obsessed, me? Nah. I was just having way too much fun learning the new systems (and learning quickly that I suck at blitzball). Still leveling up in Tsugunai though.

I started to work on the skin last night, but my comp froze while I was trying to save it, so I'm feeling a little discouraged now... Maybe I'll just scan the sketches in and update with The Neon Dragon's Kotori skin so I don't feel so bad about not doing anything particularly productive.

I have the assortment of images picked out for the new XVII layout already. Yeah, yeah, this one has been up for less than a week and I'm planning on changing it as soon as possible. Not my fault I hate this layout so much.

I'm very tired, and I'm not sure why. Stupid insomnia. Keeping me up till about the time I'm usually supposed to wake up for school. I guess that's not a good sign considering school starts on Thursday.

*stares at calendar* Fuck. My birthday's next Saturday. Damn it, I hate birthdays, especially my own. >.<

cs: "Blasphemous Rumours" by Depeche Mode

2001-12-31T20:20:00.000-08:00

Nope, there will be no Tsugunai layout for me. There just aren't any really good images for me to use floating about just yet. Instead I'm making a layout from another game. ^_^

Well, I did some fundraising jobs today with KB. It was brochure bundling... or something of the sort. All I know is that Briana, Sandy, Melissa, Tiffany, and I were stuck doing the "peel-stick-file" jobs. Mindless, actually, but we're getting paid for it, so I can't complain. It kinda reminded me of my first job (and I quit after the first few weeks).

Bargh. I drew another person again. Expect to see an update sometime this week.

... I have just come to the sad conclusion that I don't really like purple, and I want to change my layout already. Damn it. Usually with the layouts I make, they sort of grow on me. I'll hate them at first, but then I kinda like them the more I see them. But no. Not this one. This I'm disliking more and more each time I see it. Maybe I'll just give in and make a Tsugunai layout because I have nothing better to do (well, except the skin/wallpaper... which I may just make the skin and do a wallpaper of something else since the ideas I had for the wallpaper are very similar to this one). v_V *sigh* I make things way too hard on myself.

Okay, well, blogger seems to be having some sort of problem considering it says I have nothing in my template thingy. Well, if all goes accordingly, it'll post all right.

Thanks Rhian and sp4f for the layout comments. ^__^ I really appreciate the ego boost.

I'll start working in the new skin/wallpaper (NnM said skin while I said wallpaper... so I'm doing both. And yes, it is the image on the layout that I'm talking about) tonight since Cowboy Bebop doesn't come on until midnight.

I am the ultimate Master of Disaster!

O_O It's Kaworu!!!! I love the new layout, Z-kun! Very nice colours. Oh yeah, and welcome back! ^^;;

I got bored so here are some test results:

You're the epitome of insane. Either you're very smart, or you're too damn stupid. The world is your playground, and everything -- and everyone -- in it is a toy for you to play with. People should be scared of you, but because you're so affable, they aren't. Tough for them.

Take the What Should Your New Year's Resolution Be? Quiz

I pretty much agree with both.

2001-12-29T20:44:00.000-08:00

Wheeeeee! I'm blogging at NnM's house with her minimal connection. So I'm gonna try to keep this short.

Tsugunai is a nifty little game.

I'm planning on working on a new War of Genesis 3 skin and/or wallpaper. Be expecting that.

Okay, must be going now.

Instead, I played FFVIII. Yes, Final Fantasy VIII. I was bored, plus, I don't have any memory cards for my PS2, or else I'd be playing some games I borrowed from David on that.

Anyway: Merry X-Mas!
