listening: Walk This Way - Aerosmith
feeling: thrilled! DING-DING! And a victory for Sora! Yes, my new backdrop/desktop is Hyde. Yes, from the HELLO PV. And yes, they are screencaps. Yes, I finally managed to get something to play the ASF. Yes I am pleased out of my mind. In fact, last night (actually, it was around 5 this morning, I was just still awake) when I got it to work, I jumped up and did the Chandler dance. It's true. I know. I am so damned proud of myself... not to mention that now the Slide PV (Plastic Tree! Yay!) also works well now, so I got screencaps of that, too, along with screencaps of another mini clip of Hyde promoting a cell phone (I think... I need to learn more Japanese) and smashing his guitar around the HELLO PV set. Isn't life wondrous? XD And oh yeah, a new layout is soon to come to match my new wallpaper... possibly just Hyde, maybe some Hyde + Plastic Tree = Jrocky goodness, something like that. Anyway that's why I only put up the new wallpaper on this page, not on the rest... since HOPEFULLY the new layout will be up soon. Once I get it to work. ^_^; But it'll be SWEET. And I think it'll be DIV Layer + iFrames + possible Tables based, so be warned. You may just be able to read it in IE... sad to say. But who knows how many people read my ramblings anyway, hehehe ^_^; Yeah, so... I'm off to make layouts! Yeeeeeeahhoo! ^__^

listening: If You Believe - Andrea Ramanda
feeling: hot, and headache-y AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Outback Jack is probably one of the funniest reality TV shows I've actually watched (the only exception being Celebrity Mole Hawaii, since that had Baldwin XD). I think I'm gonna watch it religiously now, just to see what happens. Their "Jack" is cute, I'll give him that, and he DOES have the accent (Mmmelt. Have I mentioned that I'm going to marry someone who has or can fake really really well an accent? XD times 2), but other than that... yeah. Anyway I need to see if Mary gets kicked off. I don't like her already. She's... just really annoyingly... slutty. And ugly, honestly. Ew. OH! But get this... the guy's name isn't actually Jack. Can you believe it? I know, dumbass Sora. But his name is like... Vadim or something of the like. I know they had to make the title rhyme, yada yada yada, but they still could've at least not misled the audience. Namely, me. -_-; Oh yeah, and I have some new aliases now... let's see if I remember them. One is Chitty (a la Chitty Chitty Bang Bang), and the other was something like... actually, I don't remember it at all o_O I know it was trippy and I thought it was really cool... dammit. I think I'm losing my mind. "One by one, the penguins steal my sanity." Seriously. Well then. That's all for the moment. I think I may take a nap to get rid of horrendous heat headache #1 that I'm currently suffering through. Then, more SO2/TOS parody work, ehehehehe... Yes, I am crazy.

feeling: ow, my back hurts. and my knee, too. Mo' bloggy, mo' better! Ahahahaha. Changed the backdrop/desktop/whatever you want to call it. YES that is the HELLO PV on my desktop if you use a magnifying glass, I FINALLY FOUND IT!! XD XD XD ... I do not, however, have an application currently that can play it. -______-; ... I must be being punished for... well, something. BUT NEVER FEAR! I will find something to play it. And get screencaps. And make BEE-YOO-TEE-FUL Hyde-a-listic layouts for many pages ^_^ Including, (if I get it) the HELLO fanlisting, which I applied for today. Anyway, the new desktop is Ranma, Ryoga, and Mousse (from Ranma 1/2, if you didn't know), three of the cutest anime guys I know of. Well, there are actually a lot. Hmmm :\ Damn. Speaking of hot anime guys, I'll be putting up my lists of my Top 10 Anime Guys and Top 10 [Video] Game Guys. They ARE meant to be my favorites, not just the ones I think are the hottest. Though many are extremely hot. ... I am rambling on about hot men... that are on paper. And pixels. I need a boyfriend. Good night. :\

listening: End Up Alone - Nine Days
feeling: extremely proud of myself Ehehehehe... the trend of video game puppet-show-theaters continues. The boy and I are currently working on a SO2 theater, and it is A BEAUTY! I seriously love it to pieces. And not just because I'm an egotistical maniac who loves her own chibi-character designs (although I am, and I really, really do. XD), but because it's seriously a little piece of genius. AND, you must not forget (well... you must be informed anyway) that we've finished Kharg's Story 1 in the Arc TOS theater (which is also a work of genuis in itself) and are working on Darc 1 at the moment as well... so we're just genius people. Damn, these things are funny. So now, just to thank you for reading my blog (or at least this portion of it), a few quotes from each the Arc TOS and SO2 puppet show theaters by the boy and I. (Copyright to us, dammit! Don't steal our genius!) Kharg: Wait... monkeys can't talk people-speak! Kharg: Whatchoo want, monkey? Maru: I have nobody to love, and nobody to love me.
Kharg: Uh, sorry, I don't swing that way, but if you back to town you might try Dunc- Zev: Let me in, dammit! I need booze! Er, I mean food! And booze! Crap, I mean- aw, just let me in! Crawd: AH! The penny's moving! Bowman: I is a college professor! Lucia: I'm a girl.
Crawd: JESUS HIPHOPPING CHRIST, YOU'RE A GIRL?!
Lucia: *runs off weeping* and, the grand finale... Mr. Hearn: *flips off audience* XD I know, we're just that cool. Maybe I'll even give you a sneak peek at some of my brilliant sprite designs... if you're lucky. Well kids, until next time, same place, randomly different time! (And yes, I have reverted to going to bed at 8 or 9 in the morning and waking up at 4 or 5 in the afternoon. Thank you, summer. Thank you, insomnia!! XD)

feeling: hot, proud of myself Heh, Stardrop gets a new, Dom-er-ific layout! Yes, I'm reverting to Dom. Because he's beautiful and wondrous. XD The new layout is superb, easy-to-navigate, and clean, and I love it to pieces. No offense to Gackt, of course, but it's much better to have a Stardrop layout with my Dommie on it again ^__^ Plus... (shh, don't tell anybody) I didn't really really like the Gackt layout too much anyway... :o Hmmm... other news... well, I've made no progress on stories of any kind, though I wanted to. No progress on a summer job, either. No progress on our trip, though I still need to make a bunch of reservations and get some final prices to tell the girls. Aaaannnd... well, that's all I can think of at the moment. Did get the Ella Enchanted soundtrack, however, I don't think I mentioned that earlier. It's good. Kind of pop-ish, but it's a loving, feel-good soundtrack, so I like it. Plus it's got Darren Hayes on it, and I luff Darren Hayes ^__^ Ok, (to practice a little Hawaiian XD) "A hui hou!"

feeling: Disneyland-ish, longing, wistful... and rather warm Heeee! Daddy and mum gave the boy and I this SUPER cool Disneyland commemorative box-set thingy today (come to think of it, maybe it was yesterday... hmm) and it is SOOO supremely cool! It's got the footage of the opening day in 1955, it's got pre-opening stuff, it's got the "after hours" special with a bunch of performances by cool 50s stars, it's got SO much cool stuff, and I am in SUCH the Disneyland place right now. I swear I'm gonna work there as soon as I can humanly raise enough money to move myself to SoCal. Speaking of SoCal, yes I did take down the Santa Monica desktop... it was making me yearn for hot weather and beaches and surfers... er, I mean surfing. Of course. XD Anywho I changed it up with a fixed-up image by Yukirin, I lurve her to pieces and then some! You all should check out her gallery of stuff, located here, I believe. She draws such gorgeous, flowy images, I wish I had her mad skillz ^___^ Ok, well I do have to wake up early tomorrow... and yet I'm not tired at all. I am however too bored to go over and play .hack, so I think I'll surf around the web for a while. Plus over where the game systems are there is NO airflow, as opposed to where my comp is, where there's at least a little cool air from the window nearby. So I think I'll stay here. Okie dokie then, ja ne and a hui hou! (Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I'm teaching myself Hawaiian this summer XD Cool stuff, ne? Er, a `oe?)

listening: The Highwayman - Loreena McKennitt
feeling: creative Ooooh, this song gives me shivers. I would pay good money to have Loreena McKennitt tell stories, even if she didn't sing them. Cool stuff. Changed desktop to try and resemble... well, an actual desk-top. With a Santa Monica postcard-y-thing. Because Santa Monica rules the world, it is SOOO pretty there. I love it. That's where I want to live... eventually. Meaning once I (1) get a job and (2) have enough money. Yeah, that's all the update for the moment. Gonna go play some Animal Crossing and dotHACK, since I need to finish the first one because the boy got the second one over the weekend. And I want to play. And I just wanna finish. So... 'nighty night, all ^_^ The Highwayman came a-riding....

listening: Colorless Sky - Trigun
feeling: creative Methinks it's time for a new, FLCL-themed 404 page for NDcom. Why? Well, because 1. my current 404 page is a dime-and-cent-store cheap design that I really don't like, and 2. because I'm surfing around pk.net and they've got FLCL manga scans, apparently. Cool stuff, ne? Yes, I know it's 1 in the morning, but whatever. Red's the one with the job, not me! (Heheh, I am a lazy lazy bum.) In any case yes, I do have to get a job this summer, but I don't know where... I mean, I'd love to earn enough to at least pay for half of our road trip, but who knows if that'll be possible. I don't even know how much half is. Maybe I could save my job cash for spending and leave the paying for it to dad... hmm, this idea is not without merit. Anyway, Red and I decided to throw my sis a mini shower on our trip, with gifts and a surprise and everythin. We're so damned cool. XD Ok, well bloggy time is over for the moment. One last thing is the movie I apparently belong in:
Pirates of the Caribbean!
What movie Do you Belong in?(many different outcomes!)

Short blog right now, I'm tired and want some dinner... no, I haven't had dinner yet. I'm too lazy to make it. Peh to ye. Poor mum's so sick, I wish I could take care of her more. Well, I'll get her better and then we can take our trip this weekend to see Jace and his family. We even get to go on a picnic! ^___^ And apparently I get to make most (if not all) of our picnic-y foods. Yum ^_^ And THEN we get to go to Nico for dinner ^__________________^ DOUBLE YUM. That food is illegally good. I wish I could live there... in Nico, I mean. Permanently. I would live on bread, marinara, and gnocchi. And I would be the happiest person in the world. XD XD XD Ok, well anyway off to make food. And oh yeah, I'm getting the feeling the baby is a girl... but anythin's possible. Let's just see how well Sora's ESP works this time! ^_^

listening: Come What May - Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman
feeling: kinda sick-ish I think I got sick from my mom, ugh. But hopefully it'll pass soon. I'm just sick of having rapid switches between shivering chills and roasting hot moments. -_- We had ANOTHER bee in here today... mum figured out they're probably coming down from the roof of our building and through the dryer hose, through the dryer and into the kitchen. And that makes sense, since we shut the dryer door and haven't seen another one yet. Yup yup. Hopefully the bees will stick to their hive, wherever it is, and then we can move soonish, just to be on the safe side ^__^; Let's see... oh yeah! I am working on THE COOLEST layout for NDcom, I love it already to pieces. Chances are it'll be up either tomorrow or by tomorrow, but I really just love it. Even the splash page has an image map. And it's not that scroll-down kinda kiddy crap link thing that I've had going on, oh no my friends, it's all in little pictures and boxes. Shnazzy ass stuff, I'm telling you. PLUS, it's Hyung Taekim combined with Shakespeare. Could you get any better? (aside from throwing in Elijah Wood, Evan Farmer, Yasuhiro Nightow and putting them all in Disneyland... WITH ME? Muahahahaha... you better believe that'd be dangerous.) In any case, it is going to be SO cool that I (and if you know me, this will astound you) may even need to use pop-up windows to get some of it done. I know. A'ight, off to... do some random stuff and think about how prettily Ewan sings... ^_^ EDT @ 12:17am : Since I found about about my past life by going here. Pretty damn cool. GO JAPAN! I do not know how you feel about it, but you were female in your last earthly incarnation.
You were born somewhere around territory of modern South Japan approximately on 1200.
Your profession was trainer, holder of the fine animals, birds, insects.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your brief psychological profile in that past life:
Person with huge energy, good in planning and supervising. If you were just garbage-man, you were chief garbage-man.
note: rock. go garbage cheif.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lesson, that your last past life brought to present:
You are bound to learn to understand other people and to meet all life difficulties with joyful heart. You should help others, bringing them spirit of joy.
note: dude, this is SO me... 0_0 freaky-like.

listening: The Count - Benny Goodman
feeling: a little tired, but mostly just bored Dude, I'm such a night-person. Heh. As if that wasn't evident from all the "time slots" on these blogs. Heehee. Made Domo a blinkie today because I was bored. I often make my friends graphics when I'm bored... yes I am a huge, huge geek. And proud of. Hmm... let's see. Well, lately I've actually been considering going back to all my old fanfics that I never finished and either removing them (if I've completely lost the inspiration and have no idea where it's going) or finishing them up (in the case of ones like Chained To You, where I really only have to finish the epilogue, which doesn't need to be that long anyway). I really am proud of the fics I've written... the first ones were shaky and pretty crappy in my eyes now, but they were decent, valiant attempts for a first time fanfic writer, and I love them all the same. And ZERO is almost my favorite suspense-y funky GWing fic to date, even of ones I've read that other people have written. I was so damn proud of that premise... and I even tried my very hardest to explain the whole glowing eyes thing, and symbolism, and everything. And though it's short, I did it well. Yay for ZERO.
Oh, we can also talk about Time of Ages, which is my favorite fanfic ever. I know, how self absorbed, but I just love love love the idea of making the boys elves and the girls hunters. I just love it! ^___^
Then there is Pearl... which people seem to either REALLY love or don't like at all. Strange, ne? Well, I guess whatever floats your boat... floats your boat ^_^; Heh. Ok, well 'nuff rambling now, I'm gonna go find some more War of Genesis 3 pics to make some kick ass grungy layouts. I'm feelin' the grunge lately. l8r.

feeling: like I finally had pizza, and tired and thirsty Heehee, I'm so exhausted, everything's making me giggle. Heeheehee. I'm dangerous to be around at times like this... XD Updated the rotation at Symphonic, some good stuff is up right now. It's actually probably the best rotation yet. Oh! I haven't mentioned here yet (I think... think) that Neo-Dynasty.com's 1st anniversary is coming up! June 28 marks one year online and creating for NDcom and all its sub-sites, INCLUDING every single one of Domo and my fanlistings. That's like... a whole lot. Yay for NDcom! Man, Samurai Troopers has some good $h17 music. Seriously, good stuff. I love YST. XD Oh yeah, and I made myself a new little blinkie with a dollie from TDPcom, hee ^___^
Ok, gonna sleep now before I endanger more people with my tired-ness.

feeling: like I want pizza, again. and warm and cozy It is SOOOOOO windy outside. We think it might have something to do with the planetary alignment, y'know, Venus and the Sun and the Earth and all. Yup. So I'm sitting here in my jammies, warm and fleecy and cozy, smelling this DEE-licious peach tea, and feeling rather home-like and comfortable. Hee ^_^ Desktop changed to Erementar Gerad, a manga by the same mangaka who did Star Ocean (could you tell?). It's pretty humorous how similar they are when you know them both. The main guy is named Coud, and his "chick counterpart" is Reverie, conveniently nicknamed Ren (heehee). Then you have the... er, girl who shows a lot of skin, a swordsman, another sidekick who looks like a mix of Ashton and Precis (strangely enough) and the rival, who looks a great deal like Dias and... you're set. In any case the drawings are beautiful, and I love the SO art so I naturally love EG art too ^____^ Ok, well I've gotta go take care of puppy stuff and get cleaned up, since I brought my doggie in from the wind and now I'm a bit messy ^_^;

listening: I DJ With The Fire - Eiffel 65
feeling: like I want pizza... mmm, pizza You know, as mad and afraid as I was at and of that bee, I'm sorry dad had to kill him... I mean, the poor little guy just didn't know where to go, and assumedly he thought this was his home... and so he was just going home. And he really wasn't going to sting us, he was just trying to protect his home. I'm sorry, Mr. Bee, please rest in a better place now. In other news, I finally got around to sub-categorizing all of my sixty-something anime fanlistings so that they all didn't load on one page. I know it doesn't matter to DSL users, but for people like me it's just easier to look at them all ^_^ Let's see... what else... well, I'm hungry... and it is REALLY windy outside. Like, I walked outside and was pretty much almost blown over. And, while I'm not ginormous, I'm not exactly an anorexic supermodel, so it's not an easy feat for wind to blow me over. It was... interesting. If I hadn't been pelted with leaves and pebbles, it might have even been fun. Kind of. Well, if I think of something else to blog about I'll add it later. Oh, Disneyland is undergoing major stuff to prep for it's 50th anniversary, so this'll be a really crappy year to get an annual passport... the TIKI ROOM IS CLOSED! ;________; And it's gonna be closed for out road trip, too! And they cancelled Believe!, the fireworks show, in lieu of a shorter, "simpler" (if that's the word to use) one... *sigh* man, I wish all this stuff didn't happen at once... Ok, well ttfn, ta-ta for now! EDT @ 6:12 : Because I forgot to change the date & time stuff. Doh!

2:38pm
listening: nothin'
feeling: pretty damn frightened Dude, the bee. Scared the living shit outta me. I'll explain. So, a few days ago, I'm out near my comp and I hear and see this HUUUUGE black thing flying around. Which also scared the living shit outta me. Anyway we had this whole ordeal where the boy took a vase and literally charged the thing (complete with a war cry) and caught it, and I somehow mustered the courage to take it outside (with only a piece of paper barring it from my hands). Anyway, we figured it was a beetle, since it was like, huge and black, and we thought we had seen the end of it. Anyway, today the boy goes over to upload some stuff onto his site, then starts screaming and runs back over. I look over to see... the black thing again. The "evil beetle", back EXACTLY where it was before. So I call out mum and dad, telling them to deal with it, and wondering how the heck (a) it got out from under the vase (since it was open-side-down on the ground last time I left it) or (b) how there are two of those things that happened to both get in here and both go to the same place. So. Dad comes out and looks at it REEEEALLY close (which I would be scared as f**k to do, btw), and then announces that it's (1) a bee and (2) seems to be either building some sort of nest or laying eggs. I shriek, the boy shrieks, we all shriek for... well, fright of the bee. Anyway so then we had ANOTHER ordeal which actually wasn't that bad, but seemed bad because the boy was like weeping, closed himself into his room and screamed from there, I ran into the 'rent's room with mum, and dad was trying to catch the bee in a red plastic cup, but he was on a swivel-y chair and dropped the cup, and started screaming "F**K!" really loud and I thought the bee stung him and was loose somewhere and was gonna come kill me, and the boy was weeping even louder, and then dad screamed for me to get his shoes, and I hit my head on a small wooden table twice, and then finally the damn thing flew out the front door and I could start to breathe again. Yes, we don't have very good crisis management skills. Anyhow at least it's gone, I pray to God it never, ever, ever comes back. ... this is why I need to move. Well, an even better reason in any case. UPDATE @ 4:09 : JESU CRISTO BENDITO the thing is BACK 0_0 0_0 0_0 It came from the laundry room, somehow, and it's now lost somewhere around the kitchen... I am frightened outta my mind. I'll blog once we know what's going on... Please pray that I don't get stung and die. ;__; Because they I couldn't be famous, and would have to stop making beautiful layouts, for me and for others, and that would just suck, ne? UPDATE @ 9:39 : OYE vey, the thing is dead. Squished, zippo thanks to papa. Now, I'm gonna hope and pray REEEEEEAL hard that there is only that one bee that kept coming back. I'm soooo thankful that at least THAT one can't come back, though. *sigh*

feeling: tired, sleepy, all that good stuff Ehehehe, new layout. Featuring one of the gals from Wandaba Style. Hee, she looks kinda like me... you think so? ^_^ Anyway I wanted to do a new layout since it's not springtime any more, and the other layout was version Springtime. Also I loved that layout to pieces (see how I kept the same layout style?) and had to retire it eventually, or else I'd never get a chance to put up another blog layout, and you all know that that would have darn well near killed me. Version 10 will live on in me heart, though, mateys. Aye. In any case, this is a new prettyful layout. Idea for the title was borrowed from a certain thingy, Oku knows where from (heehee). I wanted to do one and call it something different, but I couldn't find the right pics for what I had in mind, so this one came up because I just love that title piccie ^__^ Ok, well it's late and I'm tired from working a whole bunch today, so I'll finish up the coding for this tomorrow (meaning pretty much everything except for this blog.html page... o_O). It shouldn't take me too long though, it never really does. Nighty night! EDT @ 12:25 (6.5) : Since I couldn't sleep, I finished the coding tonight. All set to upload in the morning. Am now exhausted, g'night. Zzzz....

I seriously love it to pieces. And not just because I'm an egotistical maniac who loves her own chibi-character designs (although I am, and I really, really do.

AND, you must not forget (well... you must be informed anyway) that we've finished Kharg's Story 1 in the Arc TOS theater (which is also a work of genuis in itself) and are working on Darc 1 at the moment as well... so we're just genius people.

Kharg: Uh, sorry, I don't swing that way, but if you back to town you might try Dunc- Zev: Let me in, dammit! I need booze! Er, I mean food! And booze! Crap, I mean- aw, just let me in! Crawd: AH! The penny's moving! Bowman: I is a college professor! Lucia: I'm a girl.
Crawd: JESUS HIPHOPPING CHRIST, YOU'RE A GIRL?!
Lucia: *runs off weeping* and, the grand finale... Mr. Hearn: *flips off audience* XD I know, we're just that cool. Maybe I'll even give you a sneak peek at some of my brilliant sprite designs... if you're lucky. Well kids, until next time, same place, randomly different time! (And yes, I have reverted to going to bed at 8 or 9 in the morning and waking up at 4 or 5 in the afternoon. Thank you, summer. Thank you, insomnia!! XD)
6:30pm
listening: Solid Gold (Extended Mix) - Dusty
feeling: hot, proud of myself Heh, Stardrop gets a new, Dom-er-ific layout! Yes, I'm reverting to Dom. Because he's beautiful and wondrous. XD The new layout is superb, easy-to-navigate, and clean, and I love it to pieces. No offense to Gackt, of course, but it's much better to have a Stardrop layout with my Dommie on it again ^__^ Plus... (shh, don't tell anybody) I didn't really really like the Gackt layout too much anyway... :o Hmmm... other news... well, I've made no progress on stories of any kind, though I wanted to. No progress on a summer job, either. No progress on our trip, though I still need to make a bunch of reservations and get some final prices to tell the girls. Aaaannnd... well, that's all I can think of at the moment. Did get the Ella Enchanted soundtrack, however, I don't think I mentioned that earlier. It's good. Kind of pop-ish, but it's a loving, feel-good soundtrack, so I like it. Plus it's got Darren Hayes on it, and I luff Darren Hayes ^__^ Ok, (to practice a little Hawaiian XD) "A hui hou!"
1:27am
listening: Teach Me Tonight (Me Gusta Tu Baile) - Patti Labelle
feeling: Disneyland-ish, longing, wistful... and rather warm Heeee! Daddy and mum gave the boy and I this SUPER cool Disneyland commemorative box-set thingy today (come to think of it, maybe it was yesterday... hmm) and it is SOOO supremely cool! It's got the footage of the opening day in 1955, it's got pre-opening stuff, it's got the "after hours" special with a bunch of performances by cool 50s stars, it's got SO much cool stuff, and I am in SUCH the Disneyland place right now. I swear I'm gonna work there as soon as I can humanly raise enough money to move myself to SoCal. Speaking of SoCal, yes I did take down the Santa Monica desktop... it was making me yearn for hot weather and beaches and surfers... er, I mean surfing. Of course. XD Anywho I changed it up with a fixed-up image by Yukirin, I lurve her to pieces and then some! You all should check out her gallery of stuff, located here, I believe. She draws such gorgeous, flowy images, I wish I had her mad skillz ^___^ Ok, well I do have to wake up early tomorrow... and yet I'm not tired at all. I am however too bored to go over and play .hack, so I think I'll surf around the web for a while. Plus over where the game systems are there is NO airflow, as opposed to where my comp is, where there's at least a little cool air from the window nearby. So I think I'll stay here. Okie dokie then, ja ne and a hui hou! (Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I'm teaching myself Hawaiian this summer XD Cool stuff, ne? Er, a `oe?)
2:16am
listening: The Highwayman - Loreena McKennitt
feeling: creative Ooooh, this song gives me shivers. I would pay good money to have Loreena McKennitt tell stories, even if she didn't sing them. Cool stuff. Changed desktop to try and resemble... well, an actual desk-top. With a Santa Monica postcard-y-thing. Because Santa Monica rules the world, it is SOOO pretty there. I love it. That's where I want to live... eventually. Meaning once I (1) get a job and (2) have enough money. Yeah, that's all the update for the moment. Gonna go play some Animal Crossing and dotHACK, since I need to finish the first one because the boy got the second one over the weekend. And I want to play. And I just wanna finish. So... 'nighty night, all ^_^ The Highwayman came a-riding....
1:14am
listening: Colorless Sky - Trigun
feeling: creative Methinks it's time for a new, FLCL-themed 404 page for NDcom. Why? Well, because 1. my current 404 page is a dime-and-cent-store cheap design that I really don't like, and 2. because I'm surfing around pk.net and they've got FLCL manga scans, apparently. Cool stuff, ne? Yes, I know it's 1 in the morning, but whatever. Red's the one with the job, not me! (Heheh, I am a lazy lazy bum.) In any case yes, I do have to get a job this summer, but I don't know where... I mean, I'd love to earn enough to at least pay for half of our road trip, but who knows if that'll be possible. I don't even know how much half is. Maybe I could save my job cash for spending and leave the paying for it to dad... hmm, this idea is not without merit. Anyway, Red and I decided to throw my sis a mini shower on our trip, with gifts and a surprise and everythin. We're so damned cool. XD Ok, well bloggy time is over for the moment. One last thing is the movie I apparently belong in:
Pirates of the Caribbean!
What movie Do you Belong in?(many different outcomes!)

9:32pm
listening: Ai Wo Koete - Himekami/KCET
feeling: hungee Heehee. Well, new layout for NDcom is up, you all should check it out. Yup. It's so spifferisticallytastic (word © to Sora). Short blog right now, I'm tired and want some dinner... no, I haven't had dinner yet. I'm too lazy to make it. Peh to ye. Poor mum's so sick, I wish I could take care of her more. Well, I'll get her better and then we can take our trip this weekend to see Jace and his family. We even get to go on a picnic! ^___^ And apparently I get to make most (if not all) of our picnic-y foods. Yum ^_^ And THEN we get to go to Nico for dinner ^__________________^ DOUBLE YUM. That food is illegally good. I wish I could live there... in Nico, I mean. Permanently. I would live on bread, marinara, and gnocchi. And I would be the happiest person in the world. XD XD XD Ok, well anyway off to make food. And oh yeah, I'm getting the feeling the baby is a girl... but anythin's possible. Let's just see how well Sora's ESP works this time! ^_^
11:12pm
listening: Come What May - Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman
feeling: kinda sick-ish I think I got sick from my mom, ugh. But hopefully it'll pass soon. I'm just sick of having rapid switches between shivering chills and roasting hot moments. -_- We had ANOTHER bee in here today... mum figured out they're probably coming down from the roof of our building and through the dryer hose, through the dryer and into the kitchen. And that makes sense, since we shut the dryer door and haven't seen another one yet. Yup yup. Hopefully the bees will stick to their hive, wherever it is, and then we can move soonish, just to be on the safe side ^__^; Let's see... oh yeah! I am working on THE COOLEST layout for NDcom, I love it already to pieces. Chances are it'll be up either tomorrow or by tomorrow, but I really just love it. Even the splash page has an image map. And it's not that scroll-down kinda kiddy crap link thing that I've had going on, oh no my friends, it's all in little pictures and boxes. Shnazzy ass stuff, I'm telling you. PLUS, it's Hyung Taekim combined with Shakespeare. Could you get any better? (aside from throwing in Elijah Wood, Evan Farmer, Yasuhiro Nightow and putting them all in Disneyland... WITH ME? Muahahahaha... you better believe that'd be dangerous.) In any case, it is going to be SO cool that I (and if you know me, this will astound you) may even need to use pop-up windows to get some of it done. I know. A'ight, off to... do some random stuff and think about how prettily Ewan sings... ^_^ EDT @ 12:17am : Since I found about about my past life by going here. Pretty damn cool. GO JAPAN! I do not know how you feel about it, but you were female in your last earthly incarnation.
You were born somewhere around territory of modern South Japan approximately on 1200.
Your profession was trainer, holder of the fine animals, birds, insects.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your brief psychological profile in that past life:
Person with huge energy, good in planning and supervising. If you were just garbage-man, you were chief garbage-man.
note: rock. go garbage cheif.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lesson, that your last past life brought to present:
You are bound to learn to understand other people and to meet all life difficulties with joyful heart. You should help others, bringing them spirit of joy.
note: dude, this is SO me... 0_0 freaky-like.
1:13am
listening: The Count - Benny Goodman
feeling: a little tired, but mostly just bored Dude, I'm such a night-person. Heh. As if that wasn't evident from all the "time slots" on these blogs. Heehee. Made Domo a blinkie today because I was bored. I often make my friends graphics when I'm bored... yes I am a huge, huge geek. And proud of. Hmm... let's see. Well, lately I've actually been considering going back to all my old fanfics that I never finished and either removing them (if I've completely lost the inspiration and have no idea where it's going) or finishing them up (in the case of ones like Chained To You, where I really only have to finish the epilogue, which doesn't need to be that long anyway). I really am proud of the fics I've written... the first ones were shaky and pretty crappy in my eyes now, but they were decent, valiant attempts for a first time fanfic writer, and I love them all the same. And ZERO is almost my favorite suspense-y funky GWing fic to date, even of ones I've read that other people have written. I was so damn proud of that premise... and I even tried my very hardest to explain the whole glowing eyes thing, and symbolism, and everything. And though it's short, I did it well. Yay for ZERO.
Oh, we can also talk about Time of Ages, which is my favorite fanfic ever. I know, how self absorbed, but I just love love love the idea of making the boys elves and the girls hunters. I just love it! ^___^
Then there is Pearl... which people seem to either REALLY love or don't like at all. Strange, ne? Well, I guess whatever floats your boat... floats your boat ^_^; Heh. Ok, well 'nuff rambling now, I'm gonna go find some more War of Genesis 3 pics to make some kick ass grungy layouts. I'm feelin' the grunge lately. l8r.
2:10am
listening: Wonder-Toki Ni Nagerou Gimonfu- Samurai Troopers
feeling: like I finally had pizza, and tired and thirsty Heehee, I'm so exhausted, everything's making me giggle. Heeheehee. I'm dangerous to be around at times like this... XD Updated the rotation at Symphonic, some good stuff is up right now. It's actually probably the best rotation yet. Oh! I haven't mentioned here yet (I think... think) that Neo-Dynasty.com's 1st anniversary is coming up! June 28 marks one year online and creating for NDcom and all its sub-sites, INCLUDING every single one of Domo and my fanlistings. That's like... a whole lot. Yay for NDcom! Man, Samurai Troopers has some good $h17 music. Seriously, good stuff. I love YST. XD Oh yeah, and I made myself a new little blinkie with a dollie from TDPcom, hee ^___^
Ok, gonna sleep now before I endanger more people with my tired-ness.
10:40pm
listening: California Love - 2pac and Dr. Dre
feeling: like I want pizza, again. and warm and cozy It is SOOOOOO windy outside. We think it might have something to do with the planetary alignment, y'know, Venus and the Sun and the Earth and all. Yup. So I'm sitting here in my jammies, warm and fleecy and cozy, smelling this DEE-licious peach tea, and feeling rather home-like and comfortable. Hee ^_^ Desktop changed to Erementar Gerad, a manga by the same mangaka who did Star Ocean (could you tell?). It's pretty humorous how similar they are when you know them both. The main guy is named Coud, and his "chick counterpart" is Reverie, conveniently nicknamed Ren (heehee). Then you have the... er, girl who shows a lot of skin, a swordsman, another sidekick who looks like a mix of Ashton and Precis (strangely enough) and the rival, who looks a great deal like Dias and... you're set. In any case the drawings are beautiful, and I love the SO art so I naturally love EG art too ^____^ Ok, well I've gotta go take care of puppy stuff and get cleaned up, since I brought my doggie in from the wind and now I'm a bit messy ^_^;
6:11pm
listening: I DJ With The Fire - Eiffel 65
feeling: like I want pizza... mmm, pizza You know, as mad and afraid as I was at and of that bee, I'm sorry dad had to kill him... I mean, the poor little guy just didn't know where to go, and assumedly he thought this was his home... and so he was just going home. And he really wasn't going to sting us, he was just trying to protect his home. I'm sorry, Mr. Bee, please rest in a better place now. In other news, I finally got around to sub-categorizing all of my sixty-something anime fanlistings so that they all didn't load on one page. I know it doesn't matter to DSL users, but for people like me it's just easier to look at them all ^_^ Let's see... what else... well, I'm hungry... and it is REALLY windy outside. Like, I walked outside and was pretty much almost blown over. And, while I'm not ginormous, I'm not exactly an anorexic supermodel, so it's not an easy feat for wind to blow me over. It was... interesting. If I hadn't been pelted with leaves and pebbles, it might have even been fun. Kind of. Well, if I think of something else to blog about I'll add it later. Oh, Disneyland is undergoing major stuff to prep for it's 50th anniversary, so this'll be a really crappy year to get an annual passport... the TIKI ROOM IS CLOSED! ;________; And it's gonna be closed for out road trip, too! And they cancelled Believe!, the fireworks show, in lieu of a shorter, "simpler" (if that's the word to use) one... *sigh* man, I wish all this stuff didn't happen at once... Ok, well ttfn, ta-ta for now! EDT @ 6:12 : Because I forgot to change the date & time stuff. Doh!
2:38pm
listening: nothin'
feeling: pretty damn frightened Dude, the bee. Scared the living shit outta me. I'll explain. So, a few days ago, I'm out near my comp and I hear and see this HUUUUGE black thing flying around. Which also scared the living shit outta me. Anyway we had this whole ordeal where the boy took a vase and literally charged the thing (complete with a war cry) and caught it, and I somehow mustered the courage to take it outside (with only a piece of paper barring it from my hands). Anyway, we figured it was a beetle, since it was like, huge and black, and we thought we had seen the end of it. Anyway, today the boy goes over to upload some stuff onto his site, then starts screaming and runs back over. I look over to see... the black thing again. The "evil beetle", back EXACTLY where it was before. So I call out mum and dad, telling them to deal with it, and wondering how the heck (a) it got out from under the vase (since it was open-side-down on the ground last time I left it) or (b) how there are two of those things that happened to both get in here and both go to the same place. So. Dad comes out and looks at it REEEEALLY close (which I would be scared as f**k to do, btw), and then announces that it's (1) a bee and (2) seems to be either building some sort of nest or laying eggs. I shriek, the boy shrieks, we all shriek for... well, fright of the bee. Anyway so then we had ANOTHER ordeal which actually wasn't that bad, but seemed bad because the boy was like weeping, closed himself into his room and screamed from there, I ran into the 'rent's room with mum, and dad was trying to catch the bee in a red plastic cup, but he was on a swivel-y chair and dropped the cup, and started screaming "F**K!" really loud and I thought the bee stung him and was loose somewhere and was gonna come kill me, and the boy was weeping even louder, and then dad screamed for me to get his shoes, and I hit my head on a small wooden table twice, and then finally the damn thing flew out the front door and I could start to breathe again. Yes, we don't have very good crisis management skills. Anyhow at least it's gone, I pray to God it never, ever, ever comes back. ... this is why I need to move. Well, an even better reason in any case. UPDATE @ 4:09 : JESU CRISTO BENDITO the thing is BACK 0_0 0_0 0_0 It came from the laundry room, somehow, and it's now lost somewhere around the kitchen... I am frightened outta my mind. I'll blog once we know what's going on... Please pray that I don't get stung and die. ;__; Because they I couldn't be famous, and would have to stop making beautiful layouts, for me and for others, and that would just suck, ne? UPDATE @ 9:39 : OYE vey, the thing is dead. Squished, zippo thanks to papa. Now, I'm gonna hope and pray REEEEEEAL hard that there is only that one bee that kept coming back. I'm soooo thankful that at least THAT one can't come back, though. *sigh*
11:39pm
listening: Mummer's Dance - Loreena McKennitt
feeling: tired, sleepy, all that good stuff Ehehehe, new layout. Featuring one of the gals from Wandaba Style. Hee, she looks kinda like me... you think so? ^_^ Anyway I wanted to do a new layout since it's not springtime any more, and the other layout was version Springtime. Also I loved that layout to pieces (see how I kept the same layout style?) and had to retire it eventually, or else I'd never get a chance to put up another blog layout, and you all know that that would have darn well near killed me. Version 10 will live on in me heart, though, mateys. Aye. In any case, this is a new prettyful layout. Idea for the title was borrowed from a certain thingy, Oku knows where from (heehee). I wanted to do one and call it something different, but I couldn't find the right pics for what I had in mind, so this one came up because I just love that title piccie ^__^ Ok, well it's late and I'm tired from working a whole bunch today, so I'll finish up the coding for this tomorrow (meaning pretty much everything except for this blog.html page... o_O). It shouldn't take me too long though, it never really does. Nighty night! EDT @ 12:25 (6.5) : Since I couldn't sleep, I finished the coding tonight. All set to upload in the morning. Am now exhausted, g'night. Zzzz....
