♥ And another one begins. New desktop in celebration of nothing more than me and the fact that I wanted a new desktop ^_^ Tamaki is love, so love for Tamaki. And I'm really pleased with the vector and it overall, despite Photoshop crashing in the middle of it (without my saving, I'll have you know) and making me do the background all over again. So, in short, ♥

Oh, and also, kiri is like my new favorite song EVER and I have fallen in love with MONORAL all over again. And I thought Visions in my Head was good. *♥ again*

Yes indeedy. I wanted to change to something (it was weird- I wanted and I didn't want, but I decided to change), and I thought I'd change to something Ouran-ish, and since Mori is my favoritest (&hearts), I decided to vector him. So, behold my Second CS2 vector, spiffy and very, very blue. I like it ok..... not absolutely loooooove love it, but it's Mori so I can't really complain ^_^

In other news.... I got some new clothes and stuff today, so I'm happy. And I'm going to make a nummy nummy pasta dish for dinner tonight (yes, I eat late, whut) so I'm happy again. I think I'll go play a game... maybe SO2 or Arc 3. Ah, classics, I tell you, classics.

Well, as you may have guessed, I survived the internet loss and am happily back on-line. ♥

So, yesterday I had a totally fun time. We drove way the heck up into "I don't know where I am" land to see a speaker/conference, got stuck in traffic for like 4 hours on the way, got there, saw said speaker/conference, and had a BLAST. Then we drove back home at like 2am. XD We were completely blessed- as soon as we got to the venue for the thing, we went waaaaaaaaaay up to find our seats (nosebleed-upon-nosebleed, I tell ya), and as we're walking, this usher asks us if we want seats further down, "better" ones. Well, yeah! Little did we know they were ON THE FLOOR, like.... fourth row from the FRONT. :O So, where we were supposed to be was like two rows from the very back of the very top, and we ended up four rows from the front on the floor. ♥ God is awesome. And then I almost lost my voice from singing and screaming, and my ears are still slightly ringing, but it was so totally FUN!

So, I'm now off to plan party favors. I loooove planning parties XD

Three days without internet: Day 3

I've mostly come to terms with it by now.

By making a giant list of "DO THESE WHEN THE INTERNET IS BACK" things, but that's beside the point. What I'm trying to say is... the guys, my shipmates, think that if they tie me to the mast I won't fall off as much.

I guess I'm just a rolling stone, gathering no moss. Hey, maybe that's why I don't swim too well.

Gulliver FTW. I think I'm completely crazy now.

Three days without internet: Day 2

It's amazing how much time I can't spend on the internet now.

You'd think I'd do something intelligent, like go out running whenever I'd otherwise want to be online, or learn something new.

All I've managed to do so far is almost completely snap the antenna off my cell phone. Great. More money out of my next paycheck that goes to something other than my nonexistent wardrobe betterment fund.

Don't bounce children around playfully when you're in 3 inch heels. >_>

Anyway, desktop change. Loooooots of hard work into this one, and major layering o_O But I was experimenting, and I'm actually really pleased with the result. *happy dance*

Life, blah, house, blah, nectarines. That pretty much sums it up. Well, I'll sum up better later, but right now... I gotta study I gotta eat.

Ah, last thing: Nekozawa's episode pretty much made up for the lack of Nekozawa-family beach/mansion in the other episode... though I'm still disappointed he didn't get the extra airtime. XD

Hokay. I'm out.

*cough cough sniffle*

Well, that's an exaggeration. I was sicker than I am now, thankfully I'm feeling better today. However, I'm not sure that 3.5 hours of Animal Crossing followed by seventy-something fanlisting forms is going to help me too much. >_>

Anyway. In news.... I'm not really sure. Has anything happened that's newsworthy? Well, the weather got really nice... then really crappy... then nice again. So here's hoping that summer weather will actually stay for, oh, I dunno... summer.

Watched the first episode of Goong, which, while amusing, didn't grab me quite the same way as Full House did. I need to finish Full House, I'm about halfway done I think. *muses* Waiting for Ouran eppy 9 to finish so I can watch that.

Ah! I'd like to take this opportunity and space (because nobody can really stop me, bwahahahaha*coughhack*) to complain that Nekozawa was cut completely out of episode 8. Completely! How could they do this? And after his seiyuu was so freaking awesome in his initial appearance, too. ;__; *cries* Ok, complaint over. I'll be happy if Nekozawa appears s'more and Tamaki freaks out s'more. Which I'm sure will happen. XD

Ok. Back to listing updates. ♥

05.22.2006 @ 9:37pm

Standing still, I looked out over the empty chairs. No light was on in the house save for one- a single small directional to my right and slightly behind. There was no noise except my breathing, and when I moved my footsteps echoed through the entire room, all the way up to the balcony seats. I could have done anything at that moment- recited Shakespeare, yelled out loud, or lept across the stage in giant bounds- but I didn't. I simply stood, entranced. The sight, the smell, the silence. This is the place where I feel completely at home. This is my place to feel excited, anxious, scared- and yet completely at ease. This is what I've always dreamed of.

Today, I stood on a stage. Not as a character, not in a play, not as a musician, but as a person- an actress who loves the theater. I stood in front of no one, just a bunch of empty, fuzzy seats. I said nothing, and didn't really move.

But it was absolutely wonderful. :)

05.14.2006 @ 1:06am

So, I've been busy discovering things that are completely awesome.

Point 1: Full House. Can I say how much I love the random funniness? The shoujo-ness? The "WTF HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!"-ness? Massive massive ♥

Point 2: Technically not a "discovery", but I went to a traditional Native American pow wow night before last and it was so totally cool asdfomg. Just wanted to say. Also, I wanted to buy everything there. Outfits, jewelry, instruments, the works.

This ends the current list because, while I want to go watch more Full House, I should be going to bed XD So, g'night. ♥

If Kubo makes Chad into a bad guy, I'm going to be seriously pissed. A lot.

Because then Chad will have to become my favorite bad guy of all time, based solely on the fact that he's tied at #1 for favorite character of all time, and then he'll displace Legato and Mr. Dantes, and if he dies, part of the world will explode solely from my fighting angry energy spirit exploding.

*huff huff*

I'm looking forward to future chapters in which Chad PWNS things, and is NOT evil. Thank you and good day.

In which I've had an odd day.
04.09.2006 @ 10:41pm

"Odd" is one way to describe it... "off" would be another. I woke up in a normal mood, got super moody and irritable in the middle of the day, and now I'm all GLEE!happy. Of course, this morning I finished watching the NANA live action movie (*sniff* So good!) and tonight I watched both the first ep of NANA animated (YEY! I super <3 Madhouse XDD The gag reactions FTW!) and the first ep of Host Club animated- which I love. OMG. Seiyuu are awesome. Reactions are awesome. And (as much as I was worried and complaining about it T_T I TAKE IT BACK!) the animation is awesome. Much <3, much <3. So that made me all happy ^_^

I've been feeling artsy and like I want to make layouts/wallpapers/something today... so I think I'll pop open Photoshop and give myself a good dose of graphic-ing before it's off to beddy-bye. XD

Woo doggie, I'm tired. Just bloggy-checking-in to update the great-and-wondrous "TO DO" list... which would be more complete if I could figure out how to make htaccess work properly for passwords -_- Oye.

So. Long day today, long day tomorrow, longer day Sunday, even longer day Monday. BUT THEN, oh then my friends, TUESDAY. And on TUESDAY.... the Narnia DVD is out. Oh yes. The double, extra features, containing-bloopers DVD. *joy* I'm so happy, I loved that movie to pieces XD So guess what's getting me through the weekend?

Well yeah, that, food, sleep, and oxygen. If you want to be technical.

Ok. Early to bed for me, which may not mean exactly early to rise, but it sure enough means more hours of sleep for my poor energy-deprived self. Hooray!

In which I'm confused and contemplating.
03.28.2006 @ 10:53pm

Do you ever feel like you're going in circles? Like every day could feasibly be one of the days you just had last week, except for the fact that you continually get more tired and stressed every time the circle repeats itself? Today was one of those days for me... one of those "EVERYTHING is cycling, EVERYTHING is going nowhere right now" days. *sigh* Which kind of leads into a problem one of my BGFs is having, which I'm going to try to work out while typing here, because my brain isn't functioning properly enough to think it out, and I type faster than I write >_>

So: this is an issue that stems from responsibility, in short. Basically, while you're still living with your parents, should you still get to be the irresponsible college kid? And, to correct myself, "irresponsible" isn't exactly the word I want, but rather the college kid that still has their parents do things for them- without some responsibility. And, also note, I don't mean to throw EVERYTHING on your parents- for goodness' sake, be a good kid and help them out- but SOME of the time, because of the simple fact that you are their kid, should you still be allowed to act like their kid? Like, you don't have to wake up early to do some things that your parents can do; cook for yourself; wash your own clothes. Here's the gist: BGF is taking on a lot more stress than she needs to right now. Some of it, heck- most of it, are things that she'd have to be doing if she was living on her own- which she also wants to do. So, she's struggling with staying at home with amount X of work and moving out with amount X of work, and what the difference is. Obviously (as I had to point out, playing debate and all), she'd have to pay for her own place (NOT an inexpensive feat <_<), her own food materials (aside from the cooking), etc etc. So it's still a big dilemma. But she's seemingly stuck in this "circle" feeling too (albeit a tad different from mine and, I'm sure, anyone else's who's doing it right now) and wants out out OUT. And I'm not sure what kind of advice to give her, exactly. o_O

*sigh* I need to brainstorm more, it seems... XP For her and for me. Ah~ life, how complex you are indeed. Ok. I think I'm gonna go play some HM:AWL where the days are straightfoward and simple, and I know exactly where the storyline is going. XD How's that for juxtaposition? ^_~

In which I'm on a motivation high.
03.27.2006 @ 4:38pm

Ah~ finished reading HanaKimi yesterday (*sniffle* I love the ending, too~ but I can't help thinking Nakatsu got jypped, even though I love SanoxMizuki) and got seriously motivated. Like, "What do I want to do with my life? Where am I going, and what am I doing now to get to it?" motivated. And, to ensure that I don't do what I often occasionally do (in short, get really motivated and then forget about it week later >_>), I'm going to write about it. So!

What do I want to do with my life? Act. Raise puppies, get married, have children, raise children into strong, good people. Be a strong, good person, and a good parent, a good daughter and a good role model for people around me. No different from a lot of people, I'm sure, but I am pumped up and ready to make it all happen.

Now then, what am I doing right now to get there? Well... that's the trick now, isn't it? Of all the things I want to do, there are conditions attached to some... well, most. Getting married -> having and raising children. And that's all God's timing, now. So I've gotta wait... as much as I'm impatient ^_^; Raising puppies (or breeding them in general) requires space and the time available to do it properly, so, again, I have to wait on that one too. Now, acting- THAT I can do now. I can always get myself into better shape. I can always take an acting class. I can always have an audition piece ready for that off-chance that something big comes my way. I can get my headshot updated. I can put in requests for bigger things. These are the things I can do now, so... they're what I'm going to do~! XD

SO! Starting yesterday, I'm working towards what I want to do with my future. I already have more than a lot of people, and that includes the ability to do what little I can to get to where I want to be- so if I can keep standing strong, I can get there. So root for me! And keep watch, because I might just be the next big thing ^_~

Yes. GO ME! *cheers* I CAN DO IT!

... just probably later :D

Anyway, shrinelistings are now 50% (a whopping half!) done! Since I finished the PenKaku one and the Ashton one (recently), I now only have the Pierrot one to finish up and then do the Chiba collab with Domo. So hooray!

Gonna go find late breakfast and do some (much belated, much needed) gaming. WOO!

(Oh, and by the way- Ganku 18 is most probably the worst episode of that series, and I even knew what was coming (and how it was going to happen >_>), but I was still somehow totally unprepared. I cried T_T They didn't have to add in all those anguished cries, dammit! ;_; Eh, I'll watch more later and get over it eventually <_<)

I couldn't help it, honest. I know I have all those other layouts to finish and code up, but I saw this pic in the new PenKaku chapter and I had to layout it. I had to! And the layout turned out so well, too, I can't help but be happy about it XD

Meanwhile, I'm sleepy, hungry, and I majorly messed up my back getting into the car this afternoon... well, it was more of shutting the door and cramming my arm into my side that messed it up, but yeah.

Ok, food. Then maybe work, then sleep. Yay!
