Uh, yeah.

feeling: hungry, I want some wontons...
while listening to: Song of Mana - ANNIKA Yeah. I still haven't called Nat (that's Red's bf fyi) since I really don't know what to tell him. This is a big birthday, so I don't think stuffed animals-candy-flowers will cut it. They're a start, but... I'm thinking like... diamond bracelet... sapphire necklace... emerald ring? That sort of thing. And I really have no idea how to tell him that. Y'know... "Uh, you should spend a fortune on your girlfriend because I'm the best friend, so I look out for her best interest. So get her precious jewels or I'll snap your kneecaps." Hm, that seems to work. Mayhaps I'll use that one. Gonna call Nat now. Er, GOTTA call. -_-; Later.
Ah, silence. Refreshing silence.

feeling: thirsty
while listening to: Kakokei Shinjitsu - Kagerou So, I finally got a new pair of headphones. XD These have a snappy back-wrap style and (get this) a noise canceller, complete with on/off switch, and it actually works. I seriously hear only music at the moment. It's wondrous ^__^ And I even got these on discount, which is awesome in itself. So yeah, that's pretty darn cool, heh. The other thing is that Red's birthday is coming up soon, and I had a hard enough time figuring out what to get her MYSELF, but now her bf wants my help with what HE should get her, and I have to call him back and I'm worried because I have no idea what to tell him. I mean, it's a big day for her, so I'm thinking to tell him to go all out and get her like, diamonds (any sort will do) or something of the like, along with candy and a stuffed animal or three. I mean, that's what I would want from my bf (if I had one... grr ;P) on my birthday anyway. Well, assumedly I'll call him tomorrow if I remember, I better put that in iCal or I'll seriously blow him off without realizing it o_O; And that would not be good. Yeah. Soooo.... not much else new. Went out to get .hack//outbreak, but nowhere seemingly had it (well, nowhere that I went, anyway). Got HM:AWL though, a new GCN controller since both of mine are filthy and broken, and these new headphones. Hopefully I should get outbreak sometime in the near future, until then I guess I'll level up in mutation so I'm at some ungodly level when I start numero 3, heh. Pero, no tengo mas para este blog. Voy a escribir mas luego. Adios amigos ^_^ (Yay for what I remember of Spanish! XD)
Bling bling bling.
7.9.2004 @ 2:58pm
feeling: sweaty
while listening to: My poor little electric fan work its hardest... Aw, that poor lil fan's trying so hard, and it's still not really helping... o_O It's strange, today isn't that hot of a day outside, but inside this house (hah! house- apartment) it's positively unbearable. In other news- another desktop change, because I really put zero effort into that Wolf's Rain one and I didn't really like it... then I made a YST one, hated that, and finally put some gusto into making this War of Genesis one that I acutally DO like ^_^ I know, it's dark (again, I seem to make that a desktoppy trend thing) but I did use greens and yellows to offset the darkishness. So nyahh. ^_^ Um, let's see, what else... beat .hack//mutation today, yay for me. Now I need to go out and buy outbreak, along with HM:AWL because that game owns you and I have a need for "Moi." XD Hopefully I get to do that tonight, since I actually have some money today. I know, strange, ne? *sigh* I'm gonna go cool off (both physically and emotionally) and listen to some nostalgic Disneyland music... maybe I'll watch one of my girly DVDs, that usually helps. And hopefully I'll find some sort of snack... or even better, a gagillion dollars. Heeeeeere money money money...

Love Standards, Baby, That's Where It's At
7.7.2004 @ 3:39pm
feeling: exasperated
while listening to: Love Shack - B52s I figure while I'm waiting for the new Symph layout to upload, I'll blog and tell you all my standards. Just in case (1) you're a girl who's curious or maybe wants to find out what other girls out there are thinking or (2) you're a guy who is madly in love with me and wants to know my standards to see if you fit them. Either way, soak it up XD 1. He has to genuinely care about me. I don't want guys who are in it for sex, groping, making out, etc. 2. He has to realize that trust and honesty are key to keeping up a relationship. I've dealt with this too many times in the past to want to deal with it any more... *sigh* ;P 3. He has to be willing to give a little if he's gonna get a little. It's not a gimme gimme kind of thing. 4. Christian Catholic (or willing to change). I've got a strong faith, and strangely enough I tend to pick guys who don't have one at all... So for once I'm gonna go with what I believe and say that you go God or get gone. 5. Taller than me. Please. ^_^; (To be safe, a good estimate is 5'8 or above for all you drooling suitors out there). 6. There's gotta be some sort of attraction there. I don't want to have to pretend... o_O; See? And that's really all the preferences I have. I'm not going to say "nice" or "handsome" or "OMG teh hawt" because that's all a matter of taste, if I think a guy is cute then I do. It's not some universal thing. Ok, now onto my "preferences". THESE I'm allowed to be universal with ^_^ Hehehe. Pref 1: Hawt hawt hawt. Pref 2: Knows how to dress. Pref 3: Artistically inclined, any sort will do. Pref 4: In good shape. Pref 5: Willing to have kids. Pref 6: Willing to keep up a relationship EVEN when it starts getting long. Pref 7: Good hair. Pref 8: Willing to buy me things... lots of things . XD Pref 9: Willing to "dress up" to go to fancy-shmancy places with me so I get to buy fancy-shmancy dresses to wear. Pref 10: Willing to take care of several dogs/puppies once we get married. ... See? Not tough criteria. Now then. If you fit this criteria, you will need to fill out an application which will be previewed by my team of security agents, led by my father, before it will reach me, at which point we will set up a phone conference to see if I like your voice, at which point you may be elligible for a person-to-person meeting through a glass wall....... Kidding, kidding! XD All right, I'm leaving to get more classic 80s songs and such. Over n' out for the moment!
Sora Loves the 80s STRIKES BACK
7.7.2004 @ 11:25am
feeling: ungh, tired
while listening to: Livin' On A Prayer - Bon Jovi So I've been getting as many of my fave 80s songs as I can... I really love 80s music. I mean, I listen to pretty much any sort of music you can think of, but there are some songs you just love, and a lot of those are 80s songs for me. I mean, Duran Duran is obviously the rock. I believe everybody knows that. So yes, I'm tired. Yes, I woke up a while ago, but I'm still tired dammit! I actually got myself back onto a schedule of go to sleep before midnight, wake up before noon. And it's tiring, I'll tell ya -_-; Celebrated Ru's bday with him yesterday, we went mini-golfing. It was fun... kind of... well, it fluxuated (fluctuated? I can't spell...) rapidly between being jokey-mocking-fun and super serious o_O And THEN he had the AUDACITY to accuse me of having standards that are TOO HIGH... *sigh* KIDDING, Ru! Yes, you did say that, but you know, whatever. I keep my standards where they are, and somebody will fit them eventually. When the time is right ^_^ So, gotta go update the rotation at Symphonic now. I'll put up a rant/list of my "standards" later, along with... that other thing I was gonna blog about but now forgot o_O AND OHHHH YES: The Notebook is an incredibly sweet, romantic, chick-flicky movie but it is also sad sad sad... so go see it, but be prepped with Kleenex ^_^; Ta!
Obsessed Me of Haido, a.k.a Happy Independence Day
7.4.2004 @ 8:39am
feeling: slightly sickish still, hungry
while listening to: Eye Conquerer - Third Eye Blind So I'm surfing around Hyde picture galleries to start off this 4th of July morning. I know, nice start. For all of you here in the oosah (that would be the USA), happy 4th. May your fireworks burn bright and not set anyone aflame! ... have I mentioned that all the guys I think are hot are too old for me? -_- 'Cept Lij. Which is another reason I need to move. But seriously. I mean, Hyde's hot, yes. But before he was hot, he was adorable. Click it and see. I know. *squeeeeeeeal!* is the correct term. So, movie with Red on Monday, Em can't come again. Then I get to celeblate Ru's bday on Tuesday. We have to figure out something that doesn't require money, since I really don't have any now, (I need to scrounge up about 20 bucks to even see the movie with Red) and won't have any on Tuesday for sure. Yeah, it should prove to be... interesting. But at the least we could drive around listening to his birthday presents, which are 3 CDs I made for him. Actually, I just made the covers so far, I still need to burn the actual CDs themselves... ^_^; Guess I should do that soon, heh. Uh, yeah. I just went away for like... half an hour, and now I'm back to finish up the blog. So... uh... wouldn't it be cool to meet a star somewhere random? Like uh... Gackt? In an airport? Oh wait... no, never mind. It'd be cool to meet Hyde somewhere though. I'd be all like "HAIDO!!!!!!111!!six!twelve" and charge at him. Well, not really. But if I ever ran into like Orange Range or Dragon Ash, I'd be all like "WHAT UP HOMIE YO?" and do my series of snapping motions. It'd be cool, man. I thought there was something else I remembered I wanted to say, but I forgot it. Oh well. Maybe it'll come back to me eventually. ^_^; OHHHH YEAH, I wanted to make a wishlist. But that has nothing to do with blogging. Unless I make it, then blog about it. So... yeah. Mmkay, I'll post it later if I make one... or several. So, until then. Be ready! XD
Obsessed Fangirls of... Me
7.3.2004 @ 9:04am
feeling: sickish, actually
while listening to: Ready Steady Go - L'Arc En Ciel So there's a penny doctor somewhere in this here apartment... scared the shit outta the boy (who is visiting for a bit while mum and dad celeblate the 4th), and it actually tried to attack me, strangely enough. I know they can't even hurt people, but it was literally flying at me, backing away, flying back at me, rinse and repeat. Yeah, so. It's somewhere, and I don't wanna be attacked again, which means I really can't go over and play .hack... *pout* I did already finish Mutation, though. This was supposed to be the boy's big chance to play, since the last time he played was... last time he was over, which was a while ago, and he's pretty much only started Mutation. Yeah, well, his loss... I do feel bad. I'm not heartless, dammit! Uh, yeah. Had a strange dream about Ru and Holo and college and my old teachers... it was... random, really. o_O But as a result I was tossing and turning all night, and now I think I've caught a cold... since my nose is runny, I'm congested like a mutha, and I'm sneezing like no otha. Heh, I made a rhymee. Yay. So I'm surfing around Obsessed Fangirls of Duo Maxwell. Just because I'm bored and really have nothing better to do while ensuring I don't get attacked by a bug. The boy keeps shuddering involuntarily because he thinks he "sees matter moving" when it isn't. Yeah. Maybe I'll make him a cup of tea... to take with a sedative or something. Yeah, I think I'll be doing that now. Laters.

feeling: SUCCESSFUL!
while listening to: You - Oblivion Dust I HAVE SUCCEEDED! I spent the last 2 and a half hours slaving over Flash in an attempt to prove I am not completely Flash-incompetent. And I have succeeded, in those 2 and a half hours, in making a 40-second movie featuring Mr. Hearn banging this shit out of a guitar while Ken Lloyd screams "FUCK YOU" in the background. Ah, I love the world right now. XD
Lollipops! Sin! Temptation! Evil!
7.2.2004 @ 8:30am
feeling: hungry
while listening to: Walking On Sunshine - Jump 5 So, I'm waiting for a Trigun song to finish on the d&l, figured I might as well blog. :) I'm actually on a SOMEWHAT normalish-er sleeping schedule. I AM awake during daylight hours now, and I went outside and saw the sun yesterday for the first time in four years... just kidding ^_^ I am sleeping better hours now, though. So, the title comes from a funny quote from my good pal Domo about the children catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The dude is SO freaking scary... honestly. If I was a kid watching that movie, not only would I be scared because the guy's job is to capture children and put them in his prison-on-wheels, but he's a freaking freak to boot. So anyway, Domo was going off about when he lures the kids out of hiding, and he said "The only thing that needs to be added is if he had the words 'SIN! TEMPTATION! EVIL!' written on his knuckles." Which I found hillarious, since it, well, is hillarious. Ok, the d&l's almost done now, so I leave you with a plug to go to my newest NDcom creation-subsite, Sora's Words of Wisdom (WOW). It's random goodness. And everybody can enjoy random goodness.

feeling: SOOOOO happy
while listening to: Respect - Kelly Clarkson AHAHAHAHAHA, sweet Jesus, the internet is back on. I am SOOO happy. And I'm the one who called to get it turned back on, too. Go freaking me XD When everyone else failed! I win! To tie in the blog title- if Jesus used the internet, he'd be the greatest webmaster ever. I would want his mad graphix skillz, man. Yeah. So, I found out that I'm worth $2,139,920.00 today. GO ME! I'm now the #22 most expensive woman today, I believe. GO ME AGAIN! XD XD I feel so... valuable. ^__^ So, yeah. I was going to mention something else... but I forgot. So enjoy my worth. And go see how much you'd sell for. Link's over there. *points to the right* On the value. Ciao, amores. EDT @ 2:43 To add this in: QUIZZES! Muahahahahaha...
Great DJ Sora: GDS

feeling: hot n' sweaty
while listening to: Make My Way - Nakahara Shigeru Well, anyway. Changed my desktop already. Yeah, I know. XD This one's a peach, though, and I'm so proud of it. Done entirely by me in Vue4 and Photoshop, it's sooo peaceful and calming ^_^ Plus, I wrote a poem to go along with it, I'm calling it "Fly", and I really do like it ^_^ I seem to write well about fantasy-mythical-misty-feeling types of things. Maybe I'll post something I write up here eventually... that is, if I manage to think that someone won't steal it and use it for something without asking me ^_^; Heh. So, yeah. Trying to learn Flash, have been trying to make a funny swf all night... not working out, since I don't have the boy's mad skillz. I HAVE, however, succeeded in making my first 53 second crappy "trance" mix out of an Arc TOS song, so I'm officially a DJ now, I suppose. I'm calling myself the ALTIMIT DJ, but I think I'll get sued for that, so I'll think of something else clever eventually. Great DJ Sora, over and out.
It's the ALTIMIT OS.
6.29.2004 @ 11:46pm
feeling: fed up with most everything
while listening to: Cheers! - Trigun Such a switch from feeling fuzzy and happy to feeling fed up with life as I know it... God I hate this situation. I hate living in this small ass place where nobody has room to LIVE, much less thrive. I hate the feuding that goes on around me seemingly wherever I go. I hate not knowing what comes next, since I am a person who LOVES to be in control of exacly where I'm going and loves to know what's coming up for me- in a basic sense, of course. I wouldn't want to know everything that's going to happen, because that takes all the adventure out of life, and goodness knows I love adventure! But at least the basics- where am I going to be in a year? What will my financial situation be? When will I be able to secure myself? What's going to happen with careers? How am I supposed to get an acting career off the ground if I don't have enough money to buy a CD? ... *siiiiiigh* Well, in any case, I'll just keep praying. And oh yes, changed my desktop. It's one of the basic ALTIMIT desktops that you can get in .hack infection/mutation/outbreak/quarantine. I made a couple of these with color variations (including a psychadelic rainbow-ish one that turned out pretty darn cool) and the original orange one, but I just liked the blue. So, it's there. OH- it did take me until now to realize that when you say ALTIMIT, it sounds like "ultimate". Yeah, I'm not... quick. Like that. -_-; Ok, off to help dad learn to teach. Strangely enough. o_O
Well, Then & The H.H. Inc
6.28.2004 @ 5:35am
feeling: kind of sick-ish
while listening to: Ding-Dong - TOKIO Ah, this song makes me fuzzy feel good and happy ^__^ I lurve Tokio to pieces. So, in response to that last blog, updates on situations: I have managed to keep my feet in the correct shoes. The final extra Stardrop layout finally worked for the angel clique webmistresses. And new layouts and sites are up all over the flipping place. ^_^; In other news, going to see The Notebook later today (technically) with Red, it should be exciting. Two man-crazy girls going to see a romance flick. Works for me! XD Ow, my stomach hurts. Oh, the other news: sympathy pains! That's right, folks, I am SO empathetic, I am getting my sister's pregnancy headaches and even morning sickness. Yes, I threw up a little this morning. No, I'm not pregnant. Git that idea out of your heads. I don't even have a blasted boyfriend. Boy and I are working on some new flash stuff, along with our versions of the game puppet show theaters. Should be spiffy. Damn this headache o' mine! -___-; I'm just a wee bit miffed. Gomen. Now then. To end, a summary of Hadji's Hos, Inc. You see, Race has so many hos all over that he doesn't know what to do with them. So he started up a whorehouse and named it for Hadji to throw the blame. Just so you know.
I'll Make Up My Own Words, Thank You
6.26.2004 @ 9:16am
feeling: my back hurts
while listening to: Suteki Da Ne - RIKKI Ok, in the past... 3, maybe 4 hours, I have had to recode the entire Stardrop site twice, coded 2 new versions for the anniversary layout of Neo-Dynasty (I made one, decided it wasn't special enough for the 1 year bday and then made another, putting the first aside for future use), and I have just put my foot into the wrong shoe. And I'm wearing flip-flops. This is REDICULARITY! (word © Sora 2004) I had to do the Stardrop layout twice because I'm trying to join Angel, a graphic design webring, and the very nice people there couldn't see my DIV layout. So, ok, I figure I'll make a quick tables layout version, put them both up for people to choose from, and be done in 10 minues. But NOOOO, of course I have to reupload stuff, and change links because there's now a subdirectory, and change colors, and change images, and make new images, and all that rot. And, after all that, the Angel people can't view it properly. So I just made ANOTHER FRIDGEROGGIN (word © Sora 2004) one that should work, and if it doesn't I may seriously go clinically insane. I'm already halfway there, trust me. So, in any case, there are two versions up at Stardrop now... and I hope some or most of you can see at least one of them. Because Dominic is so pretty. And everyone can enjoy the pretty. In other news, the new layout for NDcom's bday DID get uploaded just now. It's a revamped version of the very first layout. See, much cooler than a whole new thing, it's got sentimentality (word © Sora 2004) to it and rememberancy (word © Sora 2004) too. Have I mentioned yet that my head is literally spinning and that I haven't slept? I literally have not slept all night. Fun, huh? I fell asleep yesterday at around 6:30ishness (note: ishness © Sora 2004) and woke up this morning at a little before 1, and I've been up since then. Screwed up sleep schedule? I think yes. ... I have just put my foot into the wrong shoe again. I will go attempt to wake myself up now. Vanilla Pepsi is my bestest friend... lalalala. (P.S. I haven't gone completely insane yet. Don't worry.) EDT @ 9:35am because I made so many typos you probably couldn't have read this entry if you tried. o_O
Low Carb Orange Juice, Anybody?
6.26.2004 @ 2:41am
feeling: stressed
while listening to: nothing ARRRRGHHHHHHH. Life is so.... stressful. And money is even more stressful. For those of you who don't have to worry about living between a paycheck every 2 weeks, count your blessings. Count them NOW. For those of you who live in a home rather than a too-small, crappy apartment that you despise beyond all else, count your blessings. For those of you who can go shopping without having to worry about what you're going to eat for the next week and a half, count your blessings. For those of you who own more than two pairs of jeans, count your blessings. Especially if you own more than one pair that actually fits. A lot more fortunate than you think, huh? So anyway, a random note to end the blog on so that I can title it. Hmm. I hate the low-carb shit. You know, the only people going on low-carb/low-sugar/low-whatever diets are the people that don't need them. We actually are a beautiful race on this planet. If you stay in shape and don't eat like... fat with fat-shakes to drink, you're NOT FAT. Nowadays people literally ask "is there sugar in that?" "is that Atkins approved?" "does that fit into a low-carb lifestyle?"... Who the hell is Atkins to tell you how to eat, anyway? Just because some diet may have worked for him doesn't mean it'll work for everybody. And just because he was probably unhappy with himself before he went on his own "miracle diet" doesn't mean that anybody else in the world is fat, ugly, or undesirable. You're beautiful just the way you are. If people aren't telling you that, find quality friends who will, because they're out there. Find a significant other who will, because there IS somebody in the world who is meant for you. Look up. Up there, God's smiling on you because you're exactly who you are, not because you're thin or fat, ugly or beautiful, tall, short, brunette, blond, red-headed, purple-haired or other. He smiles at you because you are wonderful, and you don't need to change a thing. Just love and be loved. ... heh. Nice rant, eh? I love streaming consciousness...
What do you think, Race?

feeling: thirsty
while listening to: Tell Me What the Rain Knows - Maaya Sakamoto Wow, almost exactly 24 hours after my last blog. Trippy. So, I'm now on like... a PV rampage. Except I can't find many. And I still have dialup, so the ones that I DO find, chances are I can't download them. Because they're like... 132 MB or something. And I'm lucky to have found HELLO under 10 MB. *sigh* But I REALLY REALLY REALLY want the Laruku "Honey" PV. I've seen smallish screencaps. And Hyde looks BABE-A-LICIOUS. Dear LORD I want a [gorgeous] rockstar+surfer boyfriend who knows how to dress. Purrrrrrrfect. Seriously. *drools* *wakes up from puddle of drool* Anyway. I'll just keep wishing that to happen and... maaaaaaybe one day... XD I'll be sure to let you all know when that happens. I promise. So, my thoughts on Tony Prito to end the blog. (What, you were expecting more? I'm only blogging at the moment since I'm waiting to play .hack mutation. Nyaa~! :p) Tony Prito is COOL. Like, almost Biff Hooper cool. I mean, it's obvious that Biff is the coolest one in the Hardy Boys books, but Tony's right up there. So is Fenton, but yeah. The alternate title for this blog was "I'd like to introduce... Doctor Fenton Quest." Think about it- Benton Quest and Fenton Hardy. Change one letter, people. And they both do pretty much the same stuff- sit around and wait to get rescued, and be intelligent. Although Benton has Roger "RACE" Bannon, who will literally kill thousands of people if he needs to in order to save the Doc. While Frank and Joe and co. only really "knock people out" or deliver "flying punches to the solar plexus". Dude, I want to learn how to deliver a punch, flying or not, to the solar plexus. Hell, it took me a while to figure out where the solar plexus was. o_O

feeling: hungry, I want some wontons...
while listening to: Song of Mana - ANNIKA Yeah. I still haven't called Nat (that's Red's bf fyi) since I really don't know what to tell him. This is a big birthday, so I don't think stuffed animals-candy-flowers will cut it. They're a start, but... I'm thinking like... diamond bracelet... sapphire necklace... emerald ring? That sort of thing. And I really have no idea how to tell him that. Y'know... "Uh, you should spend a fortune on your girlfriend because I'm the best friend, so I look out for her best interest. So get her precious jewels or I'll snap your kneecaps." Hm, that seems to work. Mayhaps I'll use that one. Gonna call Nat now. Er, GOTTA call. -_-; Later.

while listening to: Kakokei Shinjitsu - Kagerou So, I finally got a new pair of headphones. XD These have a snappy back-wrap style and (get this) a noise canceller, complete with on/off switch, and it actually works. I seriously hear only music at the moment. It's wondrous ^__^ And I even got these on discount, which is awesome in itself. So yeah, that's pretty darn cool, heh. The other thing is that Red's birthday is coming up soon, and I had a hard enough time figuring out what to get her MYSELF, but now her bf wants my help with what HE should get her, and I have to call him back and I'm worried because I have no idea what to tell him. I mean, it's a big day for her, so I'm thinking to tell him to go all out and get her like, diamonds (any sort will do) or something of the like, along with candy and a stuffed animal or three. I mean, that's what I would want from my bf (if I had one... grr ;P) on my birthday anyway. Well, assumedly I'll call him tomorrow if I remember, I better put that in iCal or I'll seriously blow him off without realizing it o_O; And that would not be good. Yeah. Soooo.... not much else new. Went out to get .hack//outbreak, but nowhere seemingly had it (well, nowhere that I went, anyway). Got HM:AWL though, a new GCN controller since both of mine are filthy and broken, and these new headphones. Hopefully I should get outbreak sometime in the near future, until then I guess I'll level up in mutation so I'm at some ungodly level when I start numero 3, heh. Pero, no tengo mas para este blog. Voy a escribir mas luego. Adios amigos ^_^ (Yay for what I remember of Spanish! XD)

while listening to: My poor little electric fan work its hardest... Aw, that poor lil fan's trying so hard, and it's still not really helping... o_O It's strange, today isn't that hot of a day outside, but inside this house (hah! house- apartment) it's positively unbearable. In other news- another desktop change, because I really put zero effort into that Wolf's Rain one and I didn't really like it... then I made a YST one, hated that, and finally put some gusto into making this War of Genesis one that I acutally DO like ^_^ I know, it's dark (again, I seem to make that a desktoppy trend thing) but I did use greens and yellows to offset the darkishness. So nyahh. ^_^ Um, let's see, what else... beat .hack//mutation today, yay for me. Now I need to go out and buy outbreak, along with HM:AWL because that game owns you and I have a need for "Moi." XD Hopefully I get to do that tonight, since I actually have some money today. I know, strange, ne? *sigh* I'm gonna go cool off (both physically and emotionally) and listen to some nostalgic Disneyland music... maybe I'll watch one of my girly DVDs, that usually helps. And hopefully I'll find some sort of snack... or even better, a gagillion dollars. Heeeeeere money money money...

feeling: exasperated
while listening to: Love Shack - B52s I figure while I'm waiting for the new Symph layout to upload, I'll blog and tell you all my standards. Just in case (1) you're a girl who's curious or maybe wants to find out what other girls out there are thinking or (2) you're a guy who is madly in love with me and wants to know my standards to see if you fit them. Either way, soak it up XD 1. He has to genuinely care about me. I don't want guys who are in it for sex, groping, making out, etc. 2. He has to realize that trust and honesty are key to keeping up a relationship. I've dealt with this too many times in the past to want to deal with it any more... *sigh* ;P 3. He has to be willing to give a little if he's gonna get a little. It's not a gimme gimme kind of thing. 4. Christian Catholic (or willing to change). I've got a strong faith, and strangely enough I tend to pick guys who don't have one at all... So for once I'm gonna go with what I believe and say that you go God or get gone. 5. Taller than me. Please. ^_^; (To be safe, a good estimate is 5'8 or above for all you drooling suitors out there). 6. There's gotta be some sort of attraction there. I don't want to have to pretend... o_O; See? And that's really all the preferences I have. I'm not going to say "nice" or "handsome" or "OMG teh hawt" because that's all a matter of taste, if I think a guy is cute then I do. It's not some universal thing. Ok, now onto my "preferences". THESE I'm allowed to be universal with ^_^ Hehehe. Pref 1: Hawt hawt hawt. Pref 2: Knows how to dress. Pref 3: Artistically inclined, any sort will do. Pref 4: In good shape. Pref 5: Willing to have kids. Pref 6: Willing to keep up a relationship EVEN when it starts getting long. Pref 7: Good hair. Pref 8: Willing to buy me things... lots of things . XD Pref 9: Willing to "dress up" to go to fancy-shmancy places with me so I get to buy fancy-shmancy dresses to wear. Pref 10: Willing to take care of several dogs/puppies once we get married. ... See? Not tough criteria. Now then. If you fit this criteria, you will need to fill out an application which will be previewed by my team of security agents, led by my father, before it will reach me, at which point we will set up a phone conference to see if I like your voice, at which point you may be elligible for a person-to-person meeting through a glass wall....... Kidding, kidding! XD All right, I'm leaving to get more classic 80s songs and such. Over n' out for the moment!
7.7.2004 @ 11:25am
feeling: ungh, tired
while listening to: Livin' On A Prayer - Bon Jovi So I've been getting as many of my fave 80s songs as I can... I really love 80s music. I mean, I listen to pretty much any sort of music you can think of, but there are some songs you just love, and a lot of those are 80s songs for me. I mean, Duran Duran is obviously the rock. I believe everybody knows that. So yes, I'm tired. Yes, I woke up a while ago, but I'm still tired dammit! I actually got myself back onto a schedule of go to sleep before midnight, wake up before noon. And it's tiring, I'll tell ya -_-; Celebrated Ru's bday with him yesterday, we went mini-golfing. It was fun... kind of... well, it fluxuated (fluctuated? I can't spell...) rapidly between being jokey-mocking-fun and super serious o_O And THEN he had the AUDACITY to accuse me of having standards that are TOO HIGH... *sigh* KIDDING, Ru! Yes, you did say that, but you know, whatever. I keep my standards where they are, and somebody will fit them eventually. When the time is right ^_^ So, gotta go update the rotation at Symphonic now. I'll put up a rant/list of my "standards" later, along with... that other thing I was gonna blog about but now forgot o_O AND OHHHH YES: The Notebook is an incredibly sweet, romantic, chick-flicky movie but it is also sad sad sad... so go see it, but be prepped with Kleenex ^_^; Ta!
7.4.2004 @ 8:39am
feeling: slightly sickish still, hungry
while listening to: Eye Conquerer - Third Eye Blind So I'm surfing around Hyde picture galleries to start off this 4th of July morning. I know, nice start. For all of you here in the oosah (that would be the USA), happy 4th. May your fireworks burn bright and not set anyone aflame! ... have I mentioned that all the guys I think are hot are too old for me? -_- 'Cept Lij. Which is another reason I need to move. But seriously. I mean, Hyde's hot, yes. But before he was hot, he was adorable. Click it and see. I know. *squeeeeeeeal!* is the correct term. So, movie with Red on Monday, Em can't come again. Then I get to celeblate Ru's bday on Tuesday. We have to figure out something that doesn't require money, since I really don't have any now, (I need to scrounge up about 20 bucks to even see the movie with Red) and won't have any on Tuesday for sure. Yeah, it should prove to be... interesting. But at the least we could drive around listening to his birthday presents, which are 3 CDs I made for him. Actually, I just made the covers so far, I still need to burn the actual CDs themselves... ^_^; Guess I should do that soon, heh. Uh, yeah. I just went away for like... half an hour, and now I'm back to finish up the blog. So... uh... wouldn't it be cool to meet a star somewhere random? Like uh... Gackt? In an airport? Oh wait... no, never mind. It'd be cool to meet Hyde somewhere though. I'd be all like "HAIDO!!!!!!111!!six!twelve" and charge at him. Well, not really. But if I ever ran into like Orange Range or Dragon Ash, I'd be all like "WHAT UP HOMIE YO?" and do my series of snapping motions. It'd be cool, man. I thought there was something else I remembered I wanted to say, but I forgot it. Oh well. Maybe it'll come back to me eventually. ^_^; OHHHH YEAH, I wanted to make a wishlist. But that has nothing to do with blogging. Unless I make it, then blog about it. So... yeah. Mmkay, I'll post it later if I make one... or several. So, until then. Be ready! XD
7.3.2004 @ 9:04am
feeling: sickish, actually
while listening to: Ready Steady Go - L'Arc En Ciel So there's a penny doctor somewhere in this here apartment... scared the shit outta the boy (who is visiting for a bit while mum and dad celeblate the 4th), and it actually tried to attack me, strangely enough. I know they can't even hurt people, but it was literally flying at me, backing away, flying back at me, rinse and repeat. Yeah, so. It's somewhere, and I don't wanna be attacked again, which means I really can't go over and play .hack... *pout* I did already finish Mutation, though. This was supposed to be the boy's big chance to play, since the last time he played was... last time he was over, which was a while ago, and he's pretty much only started Mutation. Yeah, well, his loss... I do feel bad. I'm not heartless, dammit! Uh, yeah. Had a strange dream about Ru and Holo and college and my old teachers... it was... random, really. o_O But as a result I was tossing and turning all night, and now I think I've caught a cold... since my nose is runny, I'm congested like a mutha, and I'm sneezing like no otha. Heh, I made a rhymee. Yay. So I'm surfing around Obsessed Fangirls of Duo Maxwell. Just because I'm bored and really have nothing better to do while ensuring I don't get attacked by a bug. The boy keeps shuddering involuntarily because he thinks he "sees matter moving" when it isn't. Yeah. Maybe I'll make him a cup of tea... to take with a sedative or something. Yeah, I think I'll be doing that now. Laters.
7.2.2004 @ 10:34am
feeling: SUCCESSFUL!
while listening to: You - Oblivion Dust I HAVE SUCCEEDED! I spent the last 2 and a half hours slaving over Flash in an attempt to prove I am not completely Flash-incompetent. And I have succeeded, in those 2 and a half hours, in making a 40-second movie featuring Mr. Hearn banging this shit out of a guitar while Ken Lloyd screams "FUCK YOU" in the background. Ah, I love the world right now. XD
7.2.2004 @ 8:30am
feeling: hungry
while listening to: Walking On Sunshine - Jump 5 So, I'm waiting for a Trigun song to finish on the d&l, figured I might as well blog. :) I'm actually on a SOMEWHAT normalish-er sleeping schedule. I AM awake during daylight hours now, and I went outside and saw the sun yesterday for the first time in four years... just kidding ^_^ I am sleeping better hours now, though. So, the title comes from a funny quote from my good pal Domo about the children catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The dude is SO freaking scary... honestly. If I was a kid watching that movie, not only would I be scared because the guy's job is to capture children and put them in his prison-on-wheels, but he's a freaking freak to boot. So anyway, Domo was going off about when he lures the kids out of hiding, and he said "The only thing that needs to be added is if he had the words 'SIN! TEMPTATION! EVIL!' written on his knuckles." Which I found hillarious, since it, well, is hillarious. Ok, the d&l's almost done now, so I leave you with a plug to go to my newest NDcom creation-subsite, Sora's Words of Wisdom (WOW). It's random goodness. And everybody can enjoy random goodness.
7.1.2004 @ 2:16pm
feeling: SOOOOO happy
while listening to: Respect - Kelly Clarkson AHAHAHAHAHA, sweet Jesus, the internet is back on. I am SOOO happy. And I'm the one who called to get it turned back on, too. Go freaking me XD When everyone else failed! I win! To tie in the blog title- if Jesus used the internet, he'd be the greatest webmaster ever. I would want his mad graphix skillz, man. Yeah. So, I found out that I'm worth $2,139,920.00 today. GO ME! I'm now the #22 most expensive woman today, I believe. GO ME AGAIN! XD XD I feel so... valuable. ^__^ So, yeah. I was going to mention something else... but I forgot. So enjoy my worth. And go see how much you'd sell for. Link's over there. *points to the right* On the value. Ciao, amores. EDT @ 2:43 To add this in: QUIZZES! Muahahahahaha...
6.30.2004 @ 9:57am
feeling: hot n' sweaty
while listening to: Make My Way - Nakahara Shigeru Well, anyway. Changed my desktop already. Yeah, I know. XD This one's a peach, though, and I'm so proud of it. Done entirely by me in Vue4 and Photoshop, it's sooo peaceful and calming ^_^ Plus, I wrote a poem to go along with it, I'm calling it "Fly", and I really do like it ^_^ I seem to write well about fantasy-mythical-misty-feeling types of things. Maybe I'll post something I write up here eventually... that is, if I manage to think that someone won't steal it and use it for something without asking me ^_^; Heh. So, yeah. Trying to learn Flash, have been trying to make a funny swf all night... not working out, since I don't have the boy's mad skillz. I HAVE, however, succeeded in making my first 53 second crappy "trance" mix out of an Arc TOS song, so I'm officially a DJ now, I suppose. I'm calling myself the ALTIMIT DJ, but I think I'll get sued for that, so I'll think of something else clever eventually. Great DJ Sora, over and out.
6.29.2004 @ 11:46pm
feeling: fed up with most everything
while listening to: Cheers! - Trigun Such a switch from feeling fuzzy and happy to feeling fed up with life as I know it... God I hate this situation. I hate living in this small ass place where nobody has room to LIVE, much less thrive. I hate the feuding that goes on around me seemingly wherever I go. I hate not knowing what comes next, since I am a person who LOVES to be in control of exacly where I'm going and loves to know what's coming up for me- in a basic sense, of course. I wouldn't want to know everything that's going to happen, because that takes all the adventure out of life, and goodness knows I love adventure! But at least the basics- where am I going to be in a year? What will my financial situation be? When will I be able to secure myself? What's going to happen with careers? How am I supposed to get an acting career off the ground if I don't have enough money to buy a CD? ... *siiiiiigh* Well, in any case, I'll just keep praying. And oh yes, changed my desktop. It's one of the basic ALTIMIT desktops that you can get in .hack infection/mutation/outbreak/quarantine. I made a couple of these with color variations (including a psychadelic rainbow-ish one that turned out pretty darn cool) and the original orange one, but I just liked the blue. So, it's there. OH- it did take me until now to realize that when you say ALTIMIT, it sounds like "ultimate". Yeah, I'm not... quick. Like that. -_-; Ok, off to help dad learn to teach. Strangely enough. o_O
6.28.2004 @ 5:35am
feeling: kind of sick-ish
while listening to: Ding-Dong - TOKIO Ah, this song makes me fuzzy feel good and happy ^__^ I lurve Tokio to pieces. So, in response to that last blog, updates on situations: I have managed to keep my feet in the correct shoes. The final extra Stardrop layout finally worked for the angel clique webmistresses. And new layouts and sites are up all over the flipping place. ^_^; In other news, going to see The Notebook later today (technically) with Red, it should be exciting. Two man-crazy girls going to see a romance flick. Works for me! XD Ow, my stomach hurts. Oh, the other news: sympathy pains! That's right, folks, I am SO empathetic, I am getting my sister's pregnancy headaches and even morning sickness. Yes, I threw up a little this morning. No, I'm not pregnant. Git that idea out of your heads. I don't even have a blasted boyfriend. Boy and I are working on some new flash stuff, along with our versions of the game puppet show theaters. Should be spiffy. Damn this headache o' mine! -___-; I'm just a wee bit miffed. Gomen. Now then. To end, a summary of Hadji's Hos, Inc. You see, Race has so many hos all over that he doesn't know what to do with them. So he started up a whorehouse and named it for Hadji to throw the blame. Just so you know.
6.26.2004 @ 9:16am
feeling: my back hurts
while listening to: Suteki Da Ne - RIKKI Ok, in the past... 3, maybe 4 hours, I have had to recode the entire Stardrop site twice, coded 2 new versions for the anniversary layout of Neo-Dynasty (I made one, decided it wasn't special enough for the 1 year bday and then made another, putting the first aside for future use), and I have just put my foot into the wrong shoe. And I'm wearing flip-flops. This is REDICULARITY! (word © Sora 2004) I had to do the Stardrop layout twice because I'm trying to join Angel, a graphic design webring, and the very nice people there couldn't see my DIV layout. So, ok, I figure I'll make a quick tables layout version, put them both up for people to choose from, and be done in 10 minues. But NOOOO, of course I have to reupload stuff, and change links because there's now a subdirectory, and change colors, and change images, and make new images, and all that rot. And, after all that, the Angel people can't view it properly. So I just made ANOTHER FRIDGEROGGIN (word © Sora 2004) one that should work, and if it doesn't I may seriously go clinically insane. I'm already halfway there, trust me. So, in any case, there are two versions up at Stardrop now... and I hope some or most of you can see at least one of them. Because Dominic is so pretty. And everyone can enjoy the pretty. In other news, the new layout for NDcom's bday DID get uploaded just now. It's a revamped version of the very first layout. See, much cooler than a whole new thing, it's got sentimentality (word © Sora 2004) to it and rememberancy (word © Sora 2004) too. Have I mentioned yet that my head is literally spinning and that I haven't slept? I literally have not slept all night. Fun, huh? I fell asleep yesterday at around 6:30ishness (note: ishness © Sora 2004) and woke up this morning at a little before 1, and I've been up since then. Screwed up sleep schedule? I think yes. ... I have just put my foot into the wrong shoe again. I will go attempt to wake myself up now. Vanilla Pepsi is my bestest friend... lalalala. (P.S. I haven't gone completely insane yet. Don't worry.) EDT @ 9:35am because I made so many typos you probably couldn't have read this entry if you tried. o_O
6.26.2004 @ 2:41am
feeling: stressed
while listening to: nothing ARRRRGHHHHHHH. Life is so.... stressful. And money is even more stressful. For those of you who don't have to worry about living between a paycheck every 2 weeks, count your blessings. Count them NOW. For those of you who live in a home rather than a too-small, crappy apartment that you despise beyond all else, count your blessings. For those of you who can go shopping without having to worry about what you're going to eat for the next week and a half, count your blessings. For those of you who own more than two pairs of jeans, count your blessings. Especially if you own more than one pair that actually fits. A lot more fortunate than you think, huh? So anyway, a random note to end the blog on so that I can title it. Hmm. I hate the low-carb shit. You know, the only people going on low-carb/low-sugar/low-whatever diets are the people that don't need them. We actually are a beautiful race on this planet. If you stay in shape and don't eat like... fat with fat-shakes to drink, you're NOT FAT. Nowadays people literally ask "is there sugar in that?" "is that Atkins approved?" "does that fit into a low-carb lifestyle?"... Who the hell is Atkins to tell you how to eat, anyway? Just because some diet may have worked for him doesn't mean it'll work for everybody. And just because he was probably unhappy with himself before he went on his own "miracle diet" doesn't mean that anybody else in the world is fat, ugly, or undesirable. You're beautiful just the way you are. If people aren't telling you that, find quality friends who will, because they're out there. Find a significant other who will, because there IS somebody in the world who is meant for you. Look up. Up there, God's smiling on you because you're exactly who you are, not because you're thin or fat, ugly or beautiful, tall, short, brunette, blond, red-headed, purple-haired or other. He smiles at you because you are wonderful, and you don't need to change a thing. Just love and be loved. ... heh. Nice rant, eh? I love streaming consciousness...
6.24.2004 @ 11:37pm
feeling: thirsty
while listening to: Tell Me What the Rain Knows - Maaya Sakamoto Wow, almost exactly 24 hours after my last blog. Trippy. So, I'm now on like... a PV rampage. Except I can't find many. And I still have dialup, so the ones that I DO find, chances are I can't download them. Because they're like... 132 MB or something. And I'm lucky to have found HELLO under 10 MB. *sigh* But I REALLY REALLY REALLY want the Laruku "Honey" PV. I've seen smallish screencaps. And Hyde looks BABE-A-LICIOUS. Dear LORD I want a [gorgeous] rockstar+surfer boyfriend who knows how to dress. Purrrrrrrfect. Seriously. *drools* *wakes up from puddle of drool* Anyway. I'll just keep wishing that to happen and... maaaaaaybe one day... XD I'll be sure to let you all know when that happens. I promise. So, my thoughts on Tony Prito to end the blog. (What, you were expecting more? I'm only blogging at the moment since I'm waiting to play .hack mutation. Nyaa~! :p) Tony Prito is COOL. Like, almost Biff Hooper cool. I mean, it's obvious that Biff is the coolest one in the Hardy Boys books, but Tony's right up there. So is Fenton, but yeah. The alternate title for this blog was "I'd like to introduce... Doctor Fenton Quest." Think about it- Benton Quest and Fenton Hardy. Change one letter, people. And they both do pretty much the same stuff- sit around and wait to get rescued, and be intelligent. Although Benton has Roger "RACE" Bannon, who will literally kill thousands of people if he needs to in order to save the Doc. While Frank and Joe and co. only really "knock people out" or deliver "flying punches to the solar plexus". Dude, I want to learn how to deliver a punch, flying or not, to the solar plexus. Hell, it took me a while to figure out where the solar plexus was. o_O
