Warning: thanks/welcomes, sleep, monday, talking, yesterday, & amv

*hugs hugs* Friends, my dear friends! Yet another record-breaking amount of comments...that's because several people returned from the MO grave! *hugs* Welcome back boredteenager, Madarame, Sesshy, Kiyo-chan, and anyone else that I haven't seen in a while. It's so great to hear from you again. It's definitely been the longest for you, boredteenager, since it's been almost a year! No, I wouldn't take you off my list. :3 I never take off good friends. My friendslist is probably 5 times the size it should be because of friends that stopped updating...but I wub them too much to take them off. ^^; Thanks for all the comments about whatever I said...I'm glad you like how my vector's coming! I might finish the wallpaper today or tomorrow. Wow, several of you said you don't have air conditioning! I'm rather surprised--I feel sorry for you. :( Try your best to stay cool. Well, thanks again to everyone! Beh. I ish so tired again. I have to remind myself not to look in the mirror in the morning! Today I look like I was beaten up and got a black eye. -__- Stupid sleep!!! *shakes fist at sleep* I'll get you one day!! Rawwwrrr. Um, yeah, anyhoo...I could've started posting earlier today because I kinda woke up earlier, but then I looked in the mirror...and went right back to my bed and laid down. There's NO POINT in getting up it seems. My life is a repetitive and boring, useless, piece of craaaaaap. *sigh* Well, on a brighter side [though not really], it's supposed to rain a lot today. :3 That's good for me since I love the rain [I know some of you dislike it]...it rained some last night, and there was this sudden downpour during the baseball game; it only lasted a few minutes, but the umps thought they would have to delay the game! They obviously didn't, and our Phillies won yet another game. WOooooot. So these past couple of days have been kind of eventful...kind of, meaning that I got out of the house. On monday, like I said I might, I was dragged out of the house with my brother so he could: 1.Look for a new computer chair 2. Get lunch and 3. Look for more games to buy [NO! *fake shocked look*] Yah, so I had to go with him...he may be a jerk to me a lot and is very controlling, but I guess he likes my company so that's why he wants me along. :/ That's what my mom said. Anyhoo, so we went to Staples, and he bought a chair [that was an interesting trip...what with this weird old salesman guy eye-ing us the whole time...], and then went to this GameStop. Looked for more video games [he searches for "rare" ones to collect]. Nothing really happened until the end, when he was checking out-- I had on my Death Note L shirt, and the girl that worked there said, "Oh my gosh! I love your shirt!" I looked surprised, and then turned to her, "Me?" Yah. She pointed to her card holder strap and lo' and behold, she had an L pin! Kyaa~! So cute! So obviously we talked a bit about how we both like Death Note and how we love L. <3 She said that the managers at the other gamestop argue with her and this other girl about it because THEY like Light. Hahah, but we're the L posse. So we just talked a bit...it really was a bit...like 2 minutes..she told me that she didn't care for the live action movie, and it wasn't worth the price! Well, I didn't get to see it anyway. Um, but yeah, then we left...and then I felt stupid. -__-; I always feel this way after "talking" with people like that. I regret talking at all, and I regret not saying certain things. I regret the whole experience and feel, "Jee, I should've said this! Or I could've said that. or What did she think of me?" *sigh* I talked to her a little bit another time before, too; that was the time I was looking for the 2nd Ace Attorney game...we were both Phoenix and Edgeworth fangirls. Anyhoo, enough of my odd social insecurities! I don't think anything else happened that day, but...oh yeah. We went out to eat. We didn't get to go to the fancy restaurant since it was closed, but we went to this diner. It was pretty good, but everything was rather bland. :/ I could tell a funny story that happened with my mom there, but I won't. It'll take up too much room and time! Maybe if I remember it for next time. So yesterday we went to the movies and saw Iron Man. Eh. I'm not a fan...so I guess I couldn't appreciate it as much as those that are! I didn't care for it; I thought lots of parts were corny. I haven't liked many of the Marvel movies, except for the X-Men ones. Anyhoo, so after the movie, we got food and went home...Corey went to work, and I worked more on my vector. It's almost done....well, it's done, but I need to make the actual wallpaper now. I'm still at odds with the butterfly wings I gave Ritsuka. I find them disgusting to look at, and they're totally retarded. -__- But I wanted that as part of my concept...rawrgh. I worked on them for hours last night, changing them. Sorry, I don't have a preview of them though... I think this is going on for too long, ne? Today will probably be another boring day. My dad left for his big annual fishing trip this morning, and he'll be gone for about a week. Off to California and then to Mexico. I guess I'll miss him for once; he is my baseball-watching buddy after all. Here's an amv. Because of my vector/wallpaper, here's a Loveless one...that I've shown a lot already, but I love it. XD Thanks for visiting me!! *hugs* I've been trying to comment you guys when I can, too. I'll be able to more when I'm done this wretched wallpaper, ok? :3 Sorry if this was a long post or whatever...but yah, thanks again!

Warning: thanks/new comment boxes, AC/morning, weekend, emails, summer, vector, & amv

I love you people!! *hugs* What can I say? I have such wonderful friends here on MO! Thank you a ton for all the comments; I haven't gotten that many in a long time. :3 I love it! Unfortunately, I barely got to read them...since I don't have much time. But did you SEE??? The comment boxes are improved!! When I clicked on my comments to read them, I was totally in shock! They are looking beautiful! You can finally see our avatars, and the text is clean...wahh!! T__T It's so nice. Was it Sesshy that's been working on these? If so, I wub her even more. Thanks to those that have been working for the good of MyO! Anyhoo, thanks for all your sweet comments. It was nice hearing from you guys again~ Wow, I'm still in amazement at these new comment boxes. ^__^ Anyhoo, ahhh, air conditioning! Finally! Finally my dad put on the air conditioning in the house. It's been so freaking hot and even more impossible to sleep at night...sweating...hot!! But this morning, I heard a click, and a sweet breeze of coolness came rushing into my room [how poetic]...sooo nice. It's a shame he didn't turn it on earlier. :/ Other than the wonderfulness of air-con, this morning was filled with annoyance. Yes, those wretched grasscutter guys came...at 8 f-ing AM. I heard this grinding sound, and it was sooo loud! It was even worse because I had the window open in my bathroom, so I could definitely hear it more. They were outside my windows for over an hour...I never thought they'd leave. Jerks. Umm...so...I guess I'll talk about my uneventful weekend. Friday through Sunday...*tries to remember* All I remember is baseball...watching baseball everyday. XD Basically each day was the same, I'd wake up, have breafast, and if Corey was home then we'd watch some anime, and then he'd go to work...while he's at work, I pretty much just went on the computer and worked on my vector. :/ Played more Apollo Justice...yeah, nothing special that I can think of. Yesterday we went to church, and it was ok--not as boring as usual. Corey didn't come because he had to work later, and he wanted all the sleep he could get. -__- He was just having breakfast when we came back from church (noon). I emailed our pianist/organist from our church inquiring about the music he plays, because I really liked the songs he played yesterday...I haven't heard back yet though... I find that people dislike replying to emails and things I send. :/ Not necessarily you guys [I realize I probably have several PM's that need replying! Sorry!] I reply to emails from friends or other people, and then it takes forever to get anything back...it's like they don't care, but I know I shouldn't say that because then all of you would think the same of me. I guess everyone's just busy. I'm more forgetful and easily distracted than busy though. Hmm... This summer seems really different from other ones. I don't know...it just FEELS different. The sensation I get when I wake up in the morning and go through the day just doesn't feel like summer. Just day by day, the same thing...wasting my time. Maybe it's because we don't have our pool to go to either. :/ Since we sold our old house, it's been good-bye to the pool! We're supposed to be getting a deck built and one of those spa/jacuzzi things, but the township still needs to approve it. It's been months, and we still haven't gotten the "okay"! How retarded. BAH. My life is so useless. ~_~ These are shorter paragraphs. I don't really have much to say then obviously. XD Well, these past couple of days, while working on my vector, I've been listening to the Loveless Drama CD's, all thanks to Soubi.Risa. She uploaded them to her site, so I've been downloading them and listening. :3 Tis so much fun! I'm amazed that I understand almost everything...if you don't know, drama CD's are basically like extra episodes that you LISTEN to, so yeah, all in Japanese. Kyaa~ I love them. And again, I'm amazed that I've come so far with my Japanese-recognition. ^_^ So yeah, I'll just show you how my vector is coming along because that's basically all I've been doing. I just need to color in Ritsuka's wings [I've been saving those for last...], and then when this is done, I can make the wallpaper with it. It's been almost 2 weeks since my last wallpaper! ::My Vector:: ::Original Scan:: Well? Turning out good? I think so! For once, I actually like what I'm working on! I'm proud of myself to be vectoring a b&w scan into color like this. :3 Alrighty, umm...ah! Right, today I'm not sure what I'm doing...if I'll be dragged along with my brother for another video game-search or not...but tonight, we're going out for dinner at a fancy place!! Wow, for once. We haven't gone out to eat at somewhere fancy in years. So yeah, I might not be able to visit many people, sorry. :( I'll just see. Okies, here's an amv. It's really amusing! Thanks for putting up with me yet again~ I don't expect many comments today, because mondays are usually really desolate! ^^; *hugs* But thanks to those that stick around. Sorry for my lack of commenting [and if this post was really long]...and just anything. Have a wonderful day!

Warning: thanks, morning aches, yesterday's big day o' "fun", yeah

Thankies! Thanks so much for the wonderful comments!! I heart you guys a lot <3 Yes, Emmah, I'd say I'm most surprised there! You've been commenting more often, and I find it amazing! Now I just need to comment YOU more often. XD Sorry. Welcome back, Nisgea and anime snow girl! *hugs* Ah, it's great seeing you guys again! Sakura Kokoro, hahaha, I totally agree about DDR. These new ones keep getting worse and worse songs on them! I don't have the newest, but I have newer ones...there's so many, I can't keep track. ^^; But yeah, I wish they stuck with the Japanese songs. Umm, to everyone that gave me sweet comments about my health and mom's, I really appreciate it. :3 I have such great friends here! I didn't think anyone would comment since I posted late that day, but maybe it's better to comment late? Hmm...but yeah, arigatou again! Sooooo...it's another day. I'm tired as usual, but oh well. I'm also achy and, err, burny? Yeah, burny. Because of yesterday, which I'll talk about next, I got a little sunburn. :/ I have really sensitive skin, but I didn't think that I would get burned! My face and nose is the worst. -__- How annoying. That's what it is...the sunburn isn't THAT bad, but it's bad enough to be annoying. So now I need to put some creams or whatever on it. Stupid sun!! *shakes fist angrily at sun* Nyaaa, so because of that and my usual nose being congested, I couldn't sleep "naturally" last night, despite being so tired from all the things we did. All the things we did--we went to Hershey Park! Yuppers, we actually got up and went to Hershey Park. :3 Got up earlier and went somewhere! Even though my mom was still feeling terrible, we all went because we didn't want to let my dad down. More like, we didn't want dad to be angry at us for the rest of the day...and yelling at my mom for ruining the fun. -__- Anyhoo, so I thought we were going much earlier, so I was awake at 9am, laying in bed [ok, so that's not EARLY for some of you]...but we got ready an hour later...and left at around 11, I think. The toughest part was the drive there, of course. It's roughly 2 hours away. Lots of highway, and then once you get past that and into Lancaster, it's Amish Country. Farms everywhere!! Farms, cows, goats for sale, more farms, manure smell...ah yes, it was quite the adventure. So about an hour of that view. Luckily my mp3 player held out for the trip there [low battery], but it didn't quite last for the trip home, darn it... So yeah, after all the driving, we made it! Took a while to figure out where to park, but we got it. :3 Then this trolley picked us up and took us to the park. It's actually kinda small...smaller than I thought, anyways. And it's rather, um, un-chocolatey. I was imagining something out of Willy Wonka, with chocolate-themed things everywhere! It's HERSHEY after all. Only the visitor's center had the chocolate theme, the rest of the park was a mixture of boardwalk with a fake old-English town with a Western theme with a normal local fair feel to it all. That is, those were the different areas...anyhoo...the first thing we did was get a couple of milk shakes. XD Yuummmm. After that, we went into some souvenir shops; I didn't get anything yet at that point. The first ride [and essentially only...kind of...] we went on was "Comet," an older wooden roller coaster. My dad figured we could all handle that since it's not like it was one of those super new uber fast ones. Mom even went on it. ^^;; Well, so I was still scared half to death. The first drop was a lot faster than I thought!! T__T I was really about to cry. I was screaming, and I wanted to get off that thing right away!! I don't know WHY people like roller coasters. I felt like I was going to die. No more for me, thanks. My dad wanted to go on this new one, and we looked at it...and NO F-ING WAY. It looked freaking 50000 times scarier than the one I went on. It's called "Fahrenheit." The first part of the ride is a completely vertical rise and then drop 100-something feet...uughhh~~ It made me want to cry just watching it. Umm...for the rest of the time there, we mainly just walked around the park. Walked and walked, so it was good exercise. And it was out in the sun, hence my burns. My first souvenir came from the bathroom. *laugh* Yes, the bathroom. Someone dropped their ring they bought there! I figured no one would notice or care that much [looked like it cost 25 cents] so I took it. Wore it the rest of the day; I LOVE it. XD It's a mood ring...I always wanted one! Teehee! Anyhoo, while walking around, we saw a lot of people in their swimming suits because of the boardwalk/water area...ugh. GIRL! I saw a LOT of girls wearing skimpy bikinis, and they were all hanging out...they all looked like they were younger than me, but their boobs were huge. .___. Forgive me for saying so, but it just made me feel bad. It's like I missed the generation for that. *laugh* Oh well. Umm...we went on the ferris wheel next, walked around more, and then went on the carousel! Wooot!! Yeah, so in other words, we mainly went on baby rides. XD I loved the carousel. I named my horse "Julio." I don't know why, but it seemed fitting. After getting some lunch, we walked around more...and went in more shops. Bought me a cool black hat and an adorable stuffed animal wolfie. :3 I named him Briere [after the Flyers hockey player whom I'm infatuated with]. Nananananaa....well, I guess that's basically it. Didn't do much more! We drove that long drive home after that! Saw more cows and farms. Overall, it was a good fun time, although my brother and mom complained about their aches during most of it...and my mom didn't look very joyous, but at least we went. Then at home, I worked more on my new vector. You can take a look if you want: Original Scan My Vector so far I think this post has gotten long enough. Sorry about that!! ^^;; I should go and eat break fast at noon. Haha, that's how my day goes [usually]. Thanks for reading about my little "adventure." Hopefully I can visit more of you guys today; I'll try harder. *hugs* Thanks to those that still stick with me. Have a great weekend!

Tis a later post, sorry~ Gonna be (hopefully) busy tomorrow with fun!

Sorry, tis a late post! A much later than usual post from me. Sorry! I guess it doesn't really matter though, right? ^^; Seeing as only 5 sweet people commented last time, which was awesome! I love you guys!! It's been forever since I heard from you, Meagan and Steph! And I also got a comment from a new friend, KagomeMaya17 [I'm shortening your name to Kamaya, ok??], so welcome! I'm glad to have another friend. :3 And thanks again to Emmah and Fox as well. I appreciate all of your detailed comments about everything...like my inability to ride a bike and the lost dog incident. *hugs* Meg, thanks for all the hugs; they were to make up for lost hugs during your absence! *hugs* Thanks again everyone~ I'll just TRY to be brief with this post. :3 Today I couldn't post at my normal time because we went to the chiropractor [yes, again]. I wasn't going to get adjusted, but I figured since I woke up and missed posting that I better go anyway! My neck and spine were out of whack as usual, and the chiro gave his usual speech about how I should do this or that or not do certain things. ~_~ Yes, sir. He tells me every time to do these neck exercises and things, and I try to do them, but I just can't do them right. :/ And I forget to do them a lot, too...umm...but yeah, my poor spine~ It is what it is. He also tried giving me suggestions to help me sleep and to help my sinuses clear...but I don't know if I can do them, or if they'll help. Lessen my sugar-intake?? Are you kidding??! Cut down on chocolate?! Nope, no can do... After going to the chiro, we went to another game place [Corey bought yet another game...] and then K-Mart [it was the crappiest place ever. Ewwww...so dusty and gross.] After that, we went to this Whole Foods market! It was really cool. *__* I've never been to it before, so it was super exciting...so many healthy and organic foods...and there were free samples, so I tried everything. I LOVED the guacamole [that green stuff made with avocados you dip tortilla chips in]...I literally stood there and just kept eating them~ No one stopped me, so I guess there wasn't a limit. XD After going there we went home...so now I'm here! Lets see...yesterday...I don't particularly remember it...other than I played DDR. I haven't played that in a LONG time, and I haven't exercised in a long time. ^^; I wasn't that bad though. It's always fun to dance. Too bad it didn't help me sleep at night! The day before (monday), we went out to go to that park...so Dad and Corey could fish, and mom and I would just read [it would've been a hassle to bring the bikes]. The place we were going to go at first was really crowded (because of Memorial Day), so we drove around for a while. Dad brought us to this other place, and no one was there~ for about 4 minutes. -__- Then these people rode their canoes back up and got out right where we were. They disturbed the fish, so nothing was caught...and they would sit there and SMOKE. Yeah, couldn't really enjoy our stay. :/ I barely read anything. Mom felt sick, so dad had to take here somewhere with a bathroom...mom hasn't been feeling well at all lately. :( She gets the worst migraines... Consequently, my mom and dad got into an argument this morning regarding my mom's health. I've said this before--my dad doesn't know how to be sympa/empa-thetic. When one of us feels bad, he just gets angry and starts yelling. So my mom's been having these terrible migraines for a while, and he was getting mad about that because it's like she "fakes" them to avoid doing certain things. What things? Like DOING things that are different...example: going fishing/reading on monday, and the trip tomorrow. What trip? Well, we're going to go to Hershey Park [the theme park with all the chocolate]!! I've never been there before...I've never been on a roller coaster either. Anyhoo, so we're SUPPOSED to go tomorrow, but if my mom doesn't feel well, then we won't...and my dad thinks that she always ruins the fun purposely. :( Which isn't true. *sigh* But yeah, tomorrow will hopefully be a fun day. I don't know how much visiting I'll do today, but I'll try to comment some people. And tomorrow, if we do go to Hershey park, I'll be busy~ I wonder if anyone will read this?? Tis ok if you don't. Hmm...I shall just stop here...after I say that our baseball team as been doing awesome. XD We've won 3 games in a row, and they've tied the franchise record for most runs scored in 3 games (42)...that made no sense to a lot of you, sorry. Anyhoo~~ Thanks so much for visiting me and still being my friends. *hugs* Sorry if I can't comment as much lately. :( Sorry this is later (and longer than anticipated), too!! Umm...just enjoy this ridiculous Death Note gif that my brother emailed me. It's the stupid things in life that make you laugh, ne? Take care!

Warning: thanks, dark morn, today/park?, missing dog & bought grill, e-cards, & yeah

Hmm...I don't know how long this post will be! As I've said, I keep starting my posts later and later, so soon I won't have time to write much at all. ^^;; Since I am kind of on a time-slot...anyhoo, thank you all SO MUCH for your sweet comments. And I couldn't believe I got as many as I did. It was because several people that have been missing lately commented me! *hugs hugs* And the sweethearts that comment often visited as well. :3 What a great combination. Welcome back Yug, Sakura Kokoro, Joselyn, Fox, Dafeather, and Aiten! And 36inc. Wow. That's a lot of people. XD Thanks for everyone's support with how I've been feeling...and things about my wallpapers. ^^; And jeez, having an overactive mind at night! It sucks indeed~ and I see I'm not alone in certain other facts, like not knowing how to drive or ride a bike. :3 Well, thank you all again, dears!! Mah, it's dark in here. I didn't open up my other curtain. :/ Boo. Oh well. So it's yet another very very late morning (as late as you can getting, seeing as it's almost noon), and here I am posting. I was thinking about not updating today...simply because I didn't want to get out of bed. But here I am! So you have to put up with it! For some reason, all morning, I was thinking that it was raining out. I swear I heard rain and wind, and so then I was kinda of disappointed [although I LOVE the rain] because today we're supposed to go to this park, and it wouldn't work out if it was raining. But yeah, no problems...it's bright and sunny out. My curtains make it seem like it's so dark outside! XD So why would we go to a park? Well, because I was going to get some more "lessons" in riding a bike. I tried the other day, and I was so scared. I can ride straight...but turning and going up hills are beyond my reach at the moment! *laugh* So that's why we wanted to go to a park with lots of nice straight-aways. My dad and brother will fish while mom and I either deal with biking or sit and read or something. Thus, I believe that's what we're doing today...it was either that or see a movie, and for some reason, I feel like I should be outside doing something for once. :/ I'm so unhealthy. I shall now tell you about my weekend. Nothing happened. The end. XD No, just kidding....something happened, although it didn't directly happen to me. Well, saturday night we heard this dog barking and howling...like crazy. All night. It was annoying, but it was sad at the same time. I wanted to know WHY the poor thing was howling and whining so much. Mom and I thought that it was our nextdoor neighbor's dog [I wub that doggie], and that they forgot to let him inside or something. :( I was worried about that...and as I went to bed [at 12:30], I could still hear him howling and barking...I was thinking that maybe it was hurt! I didn't know. So anyhoo...I took my sleeping pill and was knocked out for the night; because of that, I didn't know what happened until I was told the next morning! It turns out that around 3 am, a runaway/lost dog found its way onto our porch. Corey yelled at it to go away, and Totoro was barking like crazy. That was the dog that was howling all night. And it ended up on our porch! Well, it left, and apparently it found its home. [Thank goodness.] In fact, it DID find its home, and we know the owner now through an odd connection! My dad wanted to sell his old grill, so he set it up at the top of our driveway with a For Sale sign yesterday. I didn't think ANYONE would want to buy it, or even stop [who stops at those things anyway??], but lo' and behold...a guy and his son stop by...20 minutes later. My dad and the son get to talking, and dad finds out that...their dog ran away the other night. *Hmm...* And that dog was a pitbull *hmm...matches up*, and it came back after 3 am...and what do you know, they live down the street from us. O__O "Well, your dog was on our porch that night!" Hahaha. XD Isn't that a crazy coincidence? We sell the grill to the same people who's dog came to our house! Anyhoo~ that's probably the only interesting thing that happened all weekend. I did nothing. I made a couple of e-cards though. Here's my newest.[click] Feel free to look at them; they're both Oofuri. And because of these cards, I was in the "leaderboard" on theO for e-cards yesterday. I know; it's not very important...but I was surprised. I'm going to make some more cards for a while, and try not to make wallpapers so much. :/ Since walling tends to stress me out more these days. That doesn't mean I'm done for good, mind you! I'll probably still make one soon. XD Umm, I shall skip the sports as no one really cares...I could talk about all my negative thoughts I've been having, but that would make this post far too long, and I need breakfast. Maybe those bad memories shall dissipate~ although I doubt it...*sigh* I'll just say that it was friend-related again! I was thinking about my lack of ties with true friends "in real life." And how the ones I have had turned sour rather quickly...and now I'm anti-social, woot. Anyhoo, I think I should just end this now before I go on forever! I'm too lazy to find an amv, sorry. I don't think I'll visit much today, but I visited everyone yesterday and a good portion on saturday and friday, which made me proud. XD Thank you all a ton for sticking with me! *hugs* I'm glad to have such wonderful friends, even if I don't know you in person. Have a wonderful day [which happens to be Memorial Day in the US, so remember those that have died for us in the military]; take care!

Warning: thanks, sleep worries, walling, yesterday, dad's hair, other things, & amv

Thank you a bajillion times over. You're all so sweet. *hugs* Seriously. ^^; I never thought I'd get so many well thought-out comments! It's just crazy how emphatic we can get for people we haven't even met in person, ne? And I thank you. Yours Truly, you had one of the most wonderful and longest about AP and feeling depressed. *hugs* It was very sweet of you [and everyone else], and I agree. I just need to figure out how to LIKE my wallpapers for myself more often...and not pay attention to what others think. I'm trying to do that more often. I'll talk more about that later. Anyhoo, Angelbest, Emmah, doas [your comment was like a poem!], and others I'm sure, it's been a long time. So nice hearing from you. Don't worry about the commenting. :3 I don't mind. *hugs* So yeah, thanks a ton again everyone! Once again, I am quite tired! But at least I'm not feeling sick. :3 I felt better later that day, and I was able to visit practically everyone! I make it a point to at least comment everyone once a week. ^^; I comment random people here and there throughout the week, but I try to get every single person commented that updates in that day. Anyhoo, I think the sleeping pills are taking longer to work on me. :/ It's just my mind. My mind is totally overactive, and I can't stop thinking about things...ANY things. I'm always worrying and thinking, "How do I sleep? How will I sleep? how do these pills work?" And then I start thinking up things to write posts on, for Heaven's sake! Or I think about my wallpapers, worry some more, and come up with other things to analyze in my trying-to-sleep brain. -__- I know, I'm insane. *sigh* Umm...I opened up my window shades, and one of the loops at the top that keep it up, ripped off. ^^; Woops... Let's get right to the walling talk. I thank you all again for the encouragement about my wallpapers. As for my last one, my baseball one, I edited it some more. I edited it twice and have been resubmitting them...I had so many problems with that here and on AP! I kept accidentally choosing the wrong file to submit, and I wouldn't notice until later...and then I found out that I have to submit ALL of the resolutions each time, not just one, if I want it replaced. So after a lot of annoyance, I now I have a wallpaper that has settled into place permanently. And I like it better! I hated it at first, but now I like it a lot more. :3 I'm even keeping it on my desktop....so that's a positive. [if you didn't see it yet, just go to my last post--the thumbnail is there; no, it's not momentous] Yesterday....let's see...I didn't really do anything. My brother and dad went out metal detecting for most of the day, so I had more time to myself. I played more Apollo Justice [I love those games!], went on the computer to visit some and fix my wallpaper, played some piano [I get to a saturation point...after a few songs, I can't play one thing right. *sigh*], and then I ate lunch. The guys came home, and then I played more Apollo Justice. XD My dad found an old Japanese coin; I do believe it was a "mon"...but I don't remember...it was from 1680-1750's or something! Really old! I knew it was japanese right away though. Too bad it's not worth anything. ^^; Anyhoo, last night we were supposed to go out to eat...but we didn't get to. :( My mom wasn't feeling well [something with her ear], and my dad was tired...so we didn't go. I did, however, get to attempt to dye my dad's hair! See, his hair has been super white and gray and balding for a loooong time. ^^; And he's never wanted to do anything about it! But my mom bought that "Touch of Gray" men's hair dye stuff to use. It's supposed to be "dark brown", but it really just darkened the white to dark gray. :/ Hey, it's a start! It looks much better...and I had a ton of fun putting it on. XD He was squirming everywhere; he didn't want it at all so he was being a baby. Unfortunately, he still looks more like my grandpa than dad. He didn't really have enough hair on top for me to dye anyway...poor dad. As you can tell, I'm in a better mood than before. I don't know how long that will last, but it has at least brought me through this post. I get my ups and downs [mostly downs] these days, and I just need to learn how to deal with them. :/ I don't know how exactly though...I seem to feel depressed and worry about death and crap all the time, but oh well. *sigh* Sorry. Anyhoo, baseball update--we won the game last night against the Astros. Twas another amazing game~ As for today, I don't know what we're doing...if anything. Probably nothing. My dad needs to teach me how to drive sometime, and I also need to be retaught how to ride a frickin' bicycle...yeah...I don't really know how. ^^; We got new bikes for Christmas, and I couldn't exactly use it! I haven't ridden since I first learned in 3rd grade. How embarrassing. Well, that's off-topic...then again, I stray from topics all the time. How about an amv? Was this post shorter? Longer? It might have been. Well, I guess it doesn't matter...I don't have anything else of importance to say. Although I could think of things. XD *hugs* Thanks so much for visiting me; I'm glad some people are still with me here. I haven't kept in touch with real-life friends much...so to me, you guys ARE real-life. :3 Have a wonderful weekend!

Warning: thanks, tired/sick, yesterday/wall, AP, wp, sorry, & amv

Hey guys. Thanks for the comments. :3 I always like seeing any amount these days! Some of you just did short comments apologizing for not being here in a while, and that's fine. Stixx and Cesteel, don't worry about it! I comment even less than you probably. Yours truly, your comment popped up twice. XD So thanks doubly! I'm just doing a quick thanks here because this post is going to be short...sorry...but thanks again to everyone that commented. *hugs* Yeah, I'm not feeling too well. :/ And it's later so I don't have that much time to post anyway. Let's just say that toilet has become my friend for the morning...and that ain't good. Bleh. *sigh* And I couldn't sleep this morning anyway because of the grass-cutters!! I swear!! They started at 8:30am, and they went for 2 hours. I didn't think there was THAT much grass out there, especially near my window. It was so retarded. And then the neighbor's dogs started barking, and then there was this bird chirping in the tree next to my window...just agh! I'm tired. I look and feel like crap. I looked in the mirror, and it's like I got beaten up. -__- I hate mirrors...wretched things. So I'm just going to make this brief. Yesterday we went to the mall. I got some more manga, mom took back some clothes, and Corey went more game searching. When we got home, he left for work, and then I worked on my wallpaper. *sigh* It's a disaster, at least by AP standards. And at least by MY standards as well. I'm not happy with it. :( And here it was the Oofuri wallpaper I've been wanting to make for so long...I get so stressed out over walling, and yet I feel like I don't have anything else to do. I DO like making wallpapers, but at the same time it makes me so stressed out and depressed, especially when they aren't appreciated! They're appreciated here somewhat (thank you so much), but animepaper just shoots them down. I got 2 rejection notifications; the first was because I forgot my signature on it, and then the second was because I "submitted twice." Well, I fixed the first, and then latter happened because my computer froze up in the middle of uploading so I didn't know if it went through or not...apparently it did. So it went through twice. [so not major rejections, like for quality, but still...seeing that email of "wallpaper rejection notice" makes me feel like crap] I hate how they do things there, what with the "rejections" and strict mods, approval processes, and papers [the form of "currency", if you will]. I know, with all the things I've said here, you'd think I'd just stop submitting there...but for some reason, I don't want to stop. I think of it as a challenge. :/ It's just that the "challenge" really gets to me. *sigh* Makes me feel like I suck...I work so hard on these things that don't even physically exist, feel that I fail, and then I feel crappy for the rest of the day. I seriously need to stop walling!!! Maybe now I will, at least for a week or something. I need a new hobby. Anyhoo, here's my wallpaper...please check it out. If you have an AP account, give me some love over there. Sorry, I really wrote a lot just on my wallpaper and crap. And here I was going to make this short. Well, it probably still is short...but yeah...whatever. No one cares, but here's my little sports report. Our baseball team won last night, 1-0. Yup, it was a scoreless game until the very last 9th inning! We got a run, and we held back the other guys; it was quite the win. :3 Anyhoo, I'm going to end this now...maybe go find an amv first... Thanks for reading my posts and being so sweet to me. *hugs* I'm sorry for not visiting a lot lately...maybe if I feel better later, I will. I should stop caring about certain things so much, ne? I should just stop caring. *sigh* You know what I need? Someone to take away my internet and have it not exist for a few days...Anyhoo, thanks again, and take care!

Warning: thanks, morning/dreams, yesterday VV/dog, sports, friends, & amv

Wow, that was a record amount of comments for me for the past month or so! Thank you so much! *hugs* It's funny because most people think MyO is completely deserted and that VV is more popular and busy; well, at least not for me. XD I barely get 2 comments if I post on VV! I'll talk about that a little later. Anyhoo, it was like a reunion party here. :3 Oli-chan, hinata, Lys, yours truly, capture, Heley...it's been a long time! Definitely the longest for hinata and Lys though. It's felt like months. *hugs* Yup, our chiropractor is so nice. :3 We've known him since we moved here, and he's like a Godsend, especially for my mom! And liked I joked, he's like a second father. XD It's nice to see a couple people enjoy sports, although I'm still in the minority as far as my interests. Hah, oh well. Steph, yes, they were my slaves; that was a fun dream. ;3 So yeah, thanks a ton to everyone that commented! I love youse guys. It was really bright in here, and now it's dark! I suppose the clouds just came through. This is the first morning [almost noon...] that I woke up and it wasn't raining. Or, well, looking like it was going to rain. I guess that's good, but I love the rain so much! As usual, I'm tired...so very tired. I know it's because of the sleeping pills, but I think I'd be MORE tired if I didn't take them. :/ That's the thing: I'm so f-ing afraid of trying to sleep without them...because the last times I did, I was awake in my bed watching the sun rise. Laying in bed and not sleeping all night...till 7am is traumatizing! I could have at least been DOING something. *sigh* So yeah, but I have to try again sometime soon. :( Um, dreams last night were actually really interesting...like watching a movie. I know I incorporated Get Backers and My Heavenly Hockey Club (current favorite manga)...and movie-like scenarios. My dreams feel more real than I do during the day. Well, I posted on VV yesterday. It really talks about my weekend as a whole! So maybe you'd like to read it and comment here? :3 Only if you want. I could sum things up...but eh...first off, something I didn't mention in it, which I'm surprised I didn't! We had Totoro groomed. Yes, my dog. It was about time! The poor thing looked more like a bear than a dog [though that was adorable], so he really needed a trim. So we had the groomer lady over, and he did really well except for the usual spots...he hates it when he's getting shaved on his paws and his butt. That's when my dad has to come and hold him. Anyhoo, he now looks like a cute, um, dog. My dad says he looks like a weasel. XD But because of his new cut, he's been going crazy. He always does that. :( Runs around, licks, shakes...he didn't let my dad sleep last night because he wouldn't stop. Hopefully he'll be better today. As for the rest of yesterday, as I talked about in my VV post, our cable went out just as the hockey game was going to come on. >.< And it was out for the whole game! Had to listen to it on the radio, and it just wasn't the same. :/ Didn't really matter though...cause we sucked so badly and lost. *sigh* So that's it for the season! The Flyers are out of the playoffs...boo...and I didn't get to ogle Briere one last time. I love him so much!! My mom and I would say that he's my "boyfriend." Unfortunately I found out that he's married and has three kids. -__- So much for that. I wouldn't have been able to meet him anyway. XD As for baseball, there were a ton of rain delays, so when the cable came back, the game was still going on. Got to watch the last few innings...watch us lose...but man, it was exciting! We were SO close! I don't really care anymore, but if you do go on VV, you can read my Fan Word I submitted [a fanfic thing I wrote years ago for a bookreport; some of you, if you were friends with me those years ago, might remember it]. I find it funny, though not, that so few people "hug" things. There's like 100 views, but 1 hug. It's a retarded system to have. :/ It's the same with fanart and wallpapers, etc. What's the point? Why don't people click that one little button, and why does it dictate the "popularity"? Argh. And WTF is up with subscribers?? They're supposed to be like FRIENDS, right? So how come I have 76, and yet I never hear from them? I post, and then I get 2 comments. I know, you guys are busy, and it's totally fine; plus you all know I like posting here better anyway. ^_^ But I still don't understand why so many people watch me yet don't even care. People say that I'm popular, but I'm not really. The number of subscribers or friends certainly don't mean a thing. I'm happy with whoever still visits me, even if it's 3! But it's more than that anyway. You guys are awesome. *hugs* I'll try better to comment you more when I can. My neck/back/shoulders dictate when I should get off the computer these days...they freaking hurt. :( As for today...well, Corey wants to go out video game searching/shopping again. -__- So I might be dragged along. I thought he was DONE! His income goes directly to buying video games that he doesn't play. They just sit there, in piles, in boxes...in his "collection." Ugh. Umm, I guess that's all I have to say! I think I had this whole essay-sounding topic to talk about [because I think of these things while trying to sleep], but I don't remember anymore, and this post is long enough. I'll go find an amv to keep you amused. It's that awesome Death Note amv that's so full of spoilers, so beware. ^_~ Thankies for still being here for me. I appreciate it a lot. :3 I don't really have friends in "real life," so yeah. ^^; Thanks for reading my posts, commenting, whatever. Take care! Sorry for the longish post!! I didn't think it'd be...

Warning: thanks, morning, theme, yesterday, sports, & today/sorry

Thanks a ton for the comments, peoples! You're so great! Emmah, Iruka, and Krusty, so nice to see you again. :3 Iruka, it's been especially long for you! Welcome back! Arigatou everyone for the wonderful comments on my newest wallpaper; yes, the one I actually liked. Thanks also for the congrats on my grades and everything. Hehe, and yes, PPGZ is so freaking cute...sorry about hurting your eyes with it, Krusty. XD Hmm...and yes, sports, I shall talk a bit more about them later. It's too bad so few of you care about them! ^^; Well, thanks again everyone. *hugs* That was shorter...hmm...I'm going to try and make this post shorter, simply because I woke up later...and I need food...and it's really dark in here. It's a rainy day [hooray!], so it's super dark outside and in my room. Usually I can be in bed, on my laptop, and just have my shades open to be bright enough...but not today. Oh well. I had a lot of weird/interesting dreams last night...they were school-oriented, yet they had bits of Powerpuff Girls Z (haha), Oofuri (baseball aspect), and...well, just a lot of weird things. I always have odd dreams, and anime usually finds their way into it! Despite taking sleeping pills, I still have vivid dreams. ^^; The other night's dream was great, like I wish it were true. XD I could summon Ritsuka and Soubi (like in a video game) from Loveless...and they'd basically be my, um, servants. Teehee. *is crazy* As you can see, I changed my theme! I did it wednesday night. I actually changed it to a different bg first, but that only last 5 minutes. XD I thought, "too bright! Too much white!" So I changed it to this one and put back my black text boxes. I like this theme. But yeah, I thought it was about time to change it from the brown...make it a bit more summery/springy around here. My VV has been rather spring-like for a while. Nothing else has changed though...the comment boxes here on MO are gradually changing; I'm still happy that Adam hasn't completely abandoned us. He's trying to make improvements! Like integrating it with theO again. Yesterday, went to the chiropractor again! Yes, that's right. "But you just went on monday!" True, but mom needed to go, Corey wanted to go again, and I figured I still wasn't completely fixed. I was hesitant to go again...I felt bad. :( Like, you know, I was JUST there...isn't it awkward to come back in 3 days? I thought he'd be like, "What are you doing back here already??" and lecture me about my posture and doing those neck exercises again. -__- But he didn't, luckily. He's sooo nice; we've been going to him since we moved here 17 years ago. I've always said our chiropractor is like my second dad. XD Anyhoo, so he had that big heat pack on my back and these little electrified things on my neck [don't know how to explain them]...and he gave me the button to press to turn them off in an "emergency" or if they got too strong. Well, the tingles were getting to be a bit much, and the heat...too hot, so I pressed it. ^^; The button turned it off, but the machine kept beeping! Beeeep!! It was like an alarm. It kept going, and my brother didn't care [he was in the other room], but finally the chiro came and turned it off. He RAN in there, totally scared that something happened. ^^;; Um, well, it was too strong. He said that I was too sensitive [called me sensitive all throughout the visit], but I "did the right thing"...yes...umm, anyhoo. After that, we went to the mall. More video game searching/shopping with my brother...um, went to Borders and looked for manga. I could only get one, and I got Cantarella vol.10 because that's all they had, and I thought I needed 10 next. :/ But I actually needed 9. Oh well, I just have to wait until I find 9 first... My laptop is acting weird right now. :/ The stupid touch pad thing, that you use to move the cursor is freaking out...so I can't move my cursor where I want it. *sigh* This happens a lot! Well, I guess I have to finish this post up then! So I'll just talk about our sports teams from last night! The Flyers, our hockey team that's at a total disadvantage to win the playoffs, WON their game last night. :3 That's only one game though...the chances of us beating the Penguins for 3 games in a row without losing is VERY near-impossible. :( So we'll probably be out of it, boo. Our Phillies did amazing last night though!! [baseball] >__< Complete game shutout by our pitcher, Cole Hammels! He pitched the entire game, and didn't let the other guys score one run. 5-0. Total opposite of the night before...it was awesome! As for today, either we're going to do nothing, or we're going to see Iron Man in the movie theaters. Don't know yet. Okies, that's all for me. Gotta go before my computer blows up or something. Sorry for this post! I think it's longer than I anticipated. ^^; And there's no "fun" stuff in it. Thanks for visiting me though...I love you guys. *hugs* Have a great weekend!

Warning: thanks, better morn, grades, yesterday, wp, sports & amv

Arigatou-minna! Thanks so much for the comments. I definitely didn't expect that many since I posted so late in the day! I guess it doesn't really matter, huh? ^^; Or maybe more people visited since it was shorter?? XD Well, regardless, thank you so much! Such wonderful friends. Alex!! Yay! Finally a comment from you; so nice to see you again! Same with KD...and really everyone. :3 No apologies if some of you haven't been around lately...I don't mind because I'm the same way nowadays! I only get to comment some people sometimes. Umm...yes, it's wonderful that theO and MO are being connected in more ways! It's about time! And Sesshy is working on the comment boxes? Really? That's so great of her. I didn't know she was. Yes, the chiropractor is supposed to help, but sometimes things feel worse right after...and I've been going to him since I was even younger! My family has neck and back problems. Thanks again for everything, guys! *hugs* Alright, so here I am posting at the time I usually would! Or at least try to normally. I put a pillow under my laptop so maybe it's a bit better? :/ It's propped up a bit on my lap...so at least I don't have to look down quite as far. ^^; Though I don't think it's helping. This morning was better than yesterday's; I'll start off with that! Yesterday morning I was thinking of maybe posting, but I most certainly didn't. I stayed in bed for way longer than usual...got up at almost noon! I wasn't sleeping that long, but I was just laying there...since for most of the early morning I was bothered by noisy grasscutters and writhing in pain from cramps. -___- Literally, writhing in pain. It was so horrible. I felt so sick...hence my not getting much sleep [as if that's ever new], hence my staying in bed for a long time. This morning, not so bad...just my breathing giving me trouble. Stupid nose/allergies! Let's see...in other news, my grades have been submitted, and I checked them online. ^_^ Straight A's again! My first year of college has been completed with a 4.0 average [perfect]. Sure, that's amazing, but I was saying that there's "no variety in that." I wish they at least gave me my percentages...just seeing the letter doesn't do anything for me. :/ An A could be anywhere from a 93% to over 100! They don't give A+'s. Oh well. I should be happy with this, too, but for some reason I'm not ecstatic. It's my stupid perfectionist personality...*sigh* And getting straight A's doesn't mean a thing in the real world. Oh well if I can write papers and memorize stuff! That doesn't mean I'm successful in life! As for yesterday, it was a nice day! The day before was really chilly and rainy [love the rain, but it was too cold], but yesterday was nice and pleasantly warm. It was a normal day of watching anime [Mokke, Powerpuff Girls Z, Gintama], and then before going to work, Corey wanted to take me to the game places to look for more games to buy. He already has a bajillion games that he doesn't play, but he still wants more. At least that trip meant I could look for Apollo Justice! I thought they didn't have it at first because the games should be in alphabetical order, and it wasn't with the A's! But I kept looking...and somehow, it was at the very bottom in the corner. Someone must've tried to hide it. XD Haha, but I got it! And it was their last copy, yay. And yes, I find the Ace Attorney games fun; they don't seem like they would be to most people, but figuring things out like that is something I enjoy. After going that that one GameStop, we went to another one somewhat far away since Corey didn't find the game he was looking for...he didn't get it there either, but he bought 2 other games. Then we got lunch [at 4pm!!], and then went home for him to zoom right off to work. I then went on the computer and worked on my newest wallpaper. Yup, I couldn't stay away from making them for too long. ^^; I feel like such a hypocrite because of that. *sigh* Maybe those two e-cards I made helped me realize that I still like walling! Anyhoo, here it is. Thanks a ton to those that already commented. :3 And I always feel happier about a wallpaper when it's accepted at AP...so thankfully it was. I'll try not to get so upset with how the ratings go though. I need to stop caring so much about things like that. I can't get straight A's in walling...rather, popularity. I don't think much else happened yesterday. I probably had something I...oh yeah! Sports. Our hockey team lost again. :( One more game to determine our fate! If we lose it, then no more hopes of going to the Stanley Cup playoffs...if we win, then we need a miracle to win 3 more games after that in a row. *sigh* It totally won't happen though. Poor Flyers. Our baseball team (Phillies) won though, which was amazing. So at least I'll have them to cheer for if the Flyers lose. Ok, enough of that! Most of you don't care about sports anyway. XD Here's an amv! It's a PPGZ one since I've been watching it lately. Enjoy! Thanks a ton for visiting me. *hugs* I appreciate it so much! It's nice to still have friends here. I'll do better with my commenting...or at least try to. I hope you guys understand. Sorry! :( Well, take care! Good luck to those with finals and papers and things!
