Feliz Ano Nuevo!

Happy new year! Now I have to get used to writing "2006" on everything... >_>

Anyway, some of my favorite things this year were: Yaki, BECK, Bleach, ParaKiss, Nana, and all my other animanga obsessions, bunches of games (WAACF, I'm looking toward you and MDKD). A lot went on this year in animanga world, now that I think about it. Also, this year was dear little one's birth, and I'm thankful for that everyday ^__^

Looking forward to the year ahead, I'm excited. I have a lot of big plans (and I mean BIG plans) that I will see done! Also, it promises to be another good year for manga and anime, as we venture into (of course) more Bleach and Yaki, and as a bunch of new shows will be out in various seasons. I'm personally looking forward to Ergo Proxy (Mugen meets Robin main character much? I love the gothy look of it, even from just the trailer), the Disgaea anime (hopefully it's meet or exceed my expectations), NANA (animated! *squee* If it's anywhere as good as the ParaKiss anime I'll be happy), and the two manga-turned-anime that I didn't even know were happening: Air Gear and Host Club. Air Gear could be really really good if they do it right, so I'm holding hope for it. The Host Club (ZOMG) anime promises to be hillarious and happily shoujo, but I'm kind of iffy about what I've seen of the character designs... but I'm biased to the original, which is gorgeous XD

Anyway. It's late, and my eyes are getting tired... so I think I'll go read books until I pass out with them over the covers. Ah, fun start to the new year. This one will be a good one, I can feel it! ^_^

Dude, I did it.

  feeling: accomplished

I acutually opened up my PS2, unscrewed things, took things off, cleaned stuff, then reattached and rescrewed everything, and NOT ONLY does it now work (and played ACF on the first try, too) but the disc tray might even work a little better than before. Or it's just my ego talking, but my mechanical "chick" pride rocketed when I saw that it worked, man.

Yay me! *goes to get to Volcannon Trap*

HIRAKE! EYES AHV JAAA~STICE!

Dude, I love this song. MoJo for the win.

I think that wonderful Thanksgiving brunch got me sick. *stabby stab stab*

I want it to be Christmas. I also desperately need to startoops my Christmas shopping.

Nate's coming home so~ooooon! <3

NARNIA OUT TODAY YAY XDDD Going to see it this week.

Headache, want to go play more Skies of Arcadia.

Semi-forced to play SoA because the PS2 is old and cannot play WA:ACF *WEEPS* I miss my Rody already and I was just getting to Zed at Volcannon Trap D:

Going to pry open PS2 later and attempt to clean lens.

Summary: Christmas yay homecoming SoA is good but miss ACF EYES OF NARNIA JUSTICE pray don't wreck PS2 stomach flu can bite me kthx love bye.

Sooooo, da.

  feeling: a little... TIRED

Helooo, blog... people. Anyway.

It's almost Thanksgiving! I cannot express adequately how much I am looking forward to Thanksgiving brunch. Considering I've had essentially NO time for anything but work and sleep the last several days (and by several days I mean about a week), including eating. So, Thanksgiving isn't going to be the "overeating" day of the year as it is for most people, for me this year it'll be the "catching up on malnutrition" day. Hoo-ray!

Let's see... A couple sites closed since I blogged last, a couple opened, some new layouts, etc. Nothing of too huge import to write about. Am very much looking forward to Christmas, also, because it's one of the best times of the year. Also, for someone who loves to shop, buying presents for everybody else is a happy happy thing indeed XD

So. That about sums up today's check-in, more whenever I have something new to write about. ^_^

XOXO~

OMG, COLD.
  oct24 @ 9:44am
  music: nada
  feeling: well, cold. and tired, tired too.

Cold, cold. I think I'm dead from cold. Driving to the bank this morning, my hand literally almost froze in place over the steering wheel. (Which is also in part due to my horrible joint pain, but that's another story, and this is about the cold.)

I mean, I'm no Nebraska farm girl waking up to frost on the crops, and technically the temperature is still above freezing, and it sure ain't snowing, but it's COLD, dammit, and I'm a warm, sun-loving human being, and I want HEAT. HEAT and SUN and WARM. And SWEAT, yes even sweat I'll take right now.

... enough rant about the cold, I suppose, I should eat breakfast/ish/meal and then work on a new Requiem layout. Providing I don't fall back asleep firstYes, yes, that's what I'll do.

Ok, random out.

DEAD, d-e-d.
  oct22 @ 11:56pm
  music: Resolution - ROM
  feeling: exhausted

OMG, the transfer is finally done. FB is reuploaded. All 49 of my fanlistings are reuploaded, as well as recoded to use PHP email forms. SotS is reuploaded. The entire DoA is reuploaded. And, with each of those, a myriad of pictures, pages, forms, etc that needed to be found and put up were reuploaded. I think I only have maybe 2 other sites to do (WoW and Requiem, which is getting redone... I hope) and then I'm completely done. *passes out*

So, hoping to get seasonal job. Will see, have applied. Going to eat something now. Think my long-distance eyesight is going, and it frightens me. Need more sleep in general. Concerned about people in general. Going to bed after eating. Thankful for release from Earthlink devils and switch to nice GoDaddy people. <3.

Ok, no more ramblings. *points to current desktop* *hearts* I shall be back eventually, TTFN~ *sleeps*

Out of touch/50
  oct3 @ 6:03am
  music: blaze of the soul reaper - Bleach
  feeling: odd

Tired, tired, and out of touch. I haven't talked to pretty much anyone besides the immediate family in maybe a month o_O *dies* I'm super behind in being caught up with LJ friends, and I feel terrible that I haven't called Red, Ru, or Nate at all lately D: Gomen ne, minna! I love you all and will call you, once life stops being hellish and hecktic! T_T

Well, in all fairness life isn't constantly hecktic, it's just that whenever I have something to do, something else happens to either hinder my progress or divert my attention completely. *sigh* I have no real excuses, like "I was out of the country!" or "I was run into by a hurricane!", just that every day seems to pose all kinds of new things for me to take care of, people to take care of, things to do, and things that needed doing a long time ago that have now fallen on me to do. *pant pant* (Was that even a coherent sentence?)

Also, I admit that most of the very little (do "strike" tags even work in regular HTML? Whoa, I've forgotten o_o) free time that I do have has been spent either dealing with fanlistings, arguing with Earthlink/other random customer service people, making layouts for overdue things, or playing Minna Daisuki Katamari Damashii, which indeed, minna daisuki. (Hountou ni! *glomps the King*). Oh yes, I can play now, because thanks to my good credit, a new TV has been born! It's a VHS/DVD/game/everything TV, and I love it because it is in COLOR, ACTUAL COLOR. There's no more shades of green and white :O It is love indeed, and I've been reliving all those games that I couldn't play for the entire freaking summer. *hugs TV*

So. I need to get food, then drive around. Yay, exciting, ne? Ow *rubs shoulder* I ache. I go. I live, I heart, I'm out. *chuu*

La-la-la.
  aug20 @ 3:36am
  music: Volare - Bobby Rydell
  feeling: bored

It's 3am, I must be.... really bored? Well, I just remembered that I have to upload the new rotation for Symph, so I'll be doing that. Just thought I'd blog.

Going to dinner this weekend with Red, her new bf, Ru, and sis & fam. Should be fun. Hopefully it'll help complete the mending of the fight that we had a little while ago. It was all stuff that needed to be said, and some of the hardest things I've had to say, but I did feel better (albeit a little sad that they had to be said in the first place) after saying it all. So this is the first time I'll see her since then, and probably the last time before she goes off to school again, until whenever she comes back for a weekend or break and such. Or if I manage to move my bum to a job and then to nearer where she is >_> *le sigh*

OK! Symph song time, then sleep. Then waking, hair coloring (closer to Renji's red this time, versus the Orihime I've got going on at the moment XDD), calling of peoples, and other random stuff that I don't know yet but that I'll figure out then. Woo. <3

Ta~!

Pac-Man...<3
  aug19 @ 6:42am
  music: Fun For Me - Moloko
  feeling: really really tired

Eh, good ol' Pac is in the character contest now. I had him going all the way up to the finals, only to be beat by the KOAC. But I suppose Pac will win now XP

So, it's almost 7am and I haven't been to bed yet. Yay. *keels over*

Got a bunch of awesome oldies songs today. Volare, Venus, I Only Have Eyes For You, Earth Angel, Johnny Be Good, the works. Good good stuff. Also, nabbed the LQ version of 191 complete (Bleach) and spazzed (again) T_T MAH POOR YASU-KOIBITO~ *smashes Yammy into something painful*

Mmkay, eyes blurring. Hands that type are slowwwwwwing. Will blog again soon. Must sleep now. *zzzz*

The revolution is coming.
  aug12 @ 3:09am
  music: Tearless - Searching ~ Iceman
  feeling: inspired

More stuff happening! <3 But that's always good, because it shows that life is life, no matter what.

A new layout today, courtesy of one of my new favorite shoujo manga, Penguin Revolution (his name is Ryou *squees*). Which, coincidentally, is pretty much about acting and making it big. So, of course, I love it to pieces. Two hot guys, a great heroine, in a shoujo manga about acting? It's like creating this layout while listening to Iceman. Which, also coincidentally, I did ^_~

So, there it is. Hopefully it works in most browsers and resolutions. If not, just humor me and imagine that it does, ne? ^_^;;

Going to bed now that the layout is good and coded. More later, really. XOXO!
