Warning: thanks, bad dreams, deliveries, monday night, yesterday, vector, & sorry

Hello!! :D Thanks for the comments!! I wasn't expecting more people to comment, but you did! Hehe, yes, no apologizing for late comments. XD If I read it before I post, then it's on time. :3 Sparkle-chan, welcome back! Oli-chan, angelbest, and Saku-chan, too! It's been a while. ^_^ And I'm happy to hear from everyone else as well (of course). Anna-chan, you were right! You remembered their names--George and Gage. I hope to see them when I go back to school, too. Sparkle-chan, it sucks that we both have to go back on the same day...but we'll be strong together! :( And poor Meg, you have to go back next week! Good luck! And of course poor Elves since you have a job and not school, so you don't have summer breaks anymore. ^^;; Anyhoo, thanks for the compliments on my cloud photos and vector, too. You're all great! Yet again I start posting late. XD I get up a bit earlier, but I end up wasting my time on other sites first. :/ I get so easily sidetracked. Like right now, I want to go back to checking things on theO, but then if I do that, I'll come back to this post like 10 minutes later!! I'm so bad at staying on task. ~__~ *left for a couple of minutes anyway* See?? I knew I would. XD Anyhoo, I had a rough night last night! Not as far as sleeping (sleeping pills take care of that), but as far as my dreams! Ugh! They were terrible...all bad dreams, basically nightmares. :( They were horribly scary...about about dying, the end of the world, someone dying or trying to kill me or something!! I remember crying in them, and my neighbor's dog about to be eaten. The end of the world was just around the corner...like the next day, and who wouldn't worry? And in one dream, I woke up RIGHT as I was about to die from poison gas inhalation. Wonderful. Don't you just love dreams?? *sigh* I can't seem to have fun or good ones these days. :/ Probably because I always think of negative things before bed... I'm hungry. I've been hungry since last night! But I must post first before eating. *nods* And then I'll check the mail to see if I've gotten my contest prize yet...I did get my manga the other day (La Esperanca volumes 6 & 7, Your and My Secret vol.2, Cafe Kichijouji de vol.3), so yay for that! But I'm still awaiting my darn prize!! If I don't get it today, I'm going to try PM-ing adam again...and HOPE for a reply. I know you all defended him in that he's "busy" with the site and doesn't have time to reply, but you would think it common courtesy to give the winner of a contest information about their prize! Cause he never told me when I'd receive it at all. :/ So I'm just stuck waiting 3 weeks after the results, with nothing to go by. I'm sure he's busy, and I'm sure he has to put up with a lot of messages, but I'm just saying that it'd be nice to know the status of my delivery. ^^; Okies, on to the rest of my boring life. Monday night we went out to eat. Nothing special there...it wasn't the place with the cute waiter kid, so I see no point!! There was this family sitting at the table next to us though, and they had a baby sitting in its high chair. Now, I don't really like babies...but this kid was great! XD She'd keep looking over at me, and then I'd smile and wave, and she'd smile a big smile and look down (like a bashful way) and then look back! And I was sitting next to my brother D, and so sometimes she couldn't see me since I'd be behind him...so she'd lean over and try to find me. It was so cute and smart! I couldn't help but smile and laugh. :3 If I have a baby, I want one as nice and smart as that one!! XD Um, other than that, the dinner wasn't very exciting. Nothing very good about it. :/ And my brothers were as distant as ever. Yesterday was a crappy day. I don't feel like I lived it at all. It was one of those really depressing days I get where the day just flies by without me even feeling like I was alive. -__- Monday was kinda like that, too, but yesterday was worse. I didn't do anything all day, except follow my brother's orders. *rolls eyes* My dog hates me whenever my brother is home because I can't get near him at all without him growling or biting at me. Errr, uh, what else happened? Oh yeah...my dad had a friend of his over (that's like the first time EVER) for dinner, and we were all worried about that! My family is full of anti-social people, and we don't like it when anyone's over our house that isn't our family. ^^; So we basically panicked over this guy...he was bringing over these sausages that his family makes and sells, and he wanted us to have them. Yeah, so I didn't come upstairs for a while, and then when I said hi to him, it was really awkward...I don't know, he didn't seem to like me. XD Which is fine! Hopefully my dad won't have him over again! We couldn't be ourselves while he was there. The sausages were pretty good, but eh...nothing special. I got a break from my brother later because he actually went over a friend's house. *everyone is in shock--"he has friends??"* Yeah, I know, right? Corey hasn't been over a friend's house in like 10 years. Because of his job now, he's rekindled some old friendships...and so he went over the one guy's house last night. Who knows what they did, but whatever! At least that got him out of my hair for a few hours. ~__~ I worked on my vector some more...I've been changing a lot of things (colors), and I know you guys liked it before, but I was getting complaints and jerky comments from people on AP about it. :/ They're always such perfectionist jerks, even the ones I call "friends." So yeah, I changed some things, and I think I finally like it now. Ritsuka Vector. See what you think. I guess I'm going to go for a winter background, instead of the autumn one with leaves like I initially thought...cause the darker clothes colors seem more wintry. :/ So these past few days I haven't commented much. I'm really sorry. :( But I haven't had the time or been in the mood really! When you feel down, it's hard to read other people's posts and comment. ^^; So I'm sorry. I don't know how today will go, but hopefully it'll be better. Sorry my posts are always so long; I know some of you like them, but some of you have trouble reading them...it's ok, whatever you can read is fine. *hugs* No amv cause I'm lazy. Thanks for your comments, and take care!! *hugs*

Warning: thanks, school soon, schedule, saturday, yesterday/baseball, vector, & clouds

Thank you everyone!! You're all so sweet!!! You're such great people. :3 Thanks for the comments. Lots of you apologized for them being late, but I see no point in that (only 3 people commented "not late" anyway). XD I appreciate it, but there's no need to say sorry! Since you know I won't post here on the weekends and read comments on monday, no comments are "late" between friday and now. XD Hah, but it's ok! *hugs* Welcome back Krusty! It's been a while since your comment. It's fine! And it's always great hearing from the rest of you sweet friends. ^^ I'm making this a bit quick so no specific replies, but I appreciate everything you said about my post. You're great friends! It's monday! T__T Noo. Boo. Why is that so bad?? Well, it's because now I officially only have 2 weeks left (well, I guess yesterday was officially...) until school starts. That's right! I said it! I said the "s" word, SCHOOL. Ugh. ~__~ I can't believe that just a couple weeks ago I was saying that I'm "looking forward" to school, or I'm kinda excited about it. Well, boy was I wrong! As it draws nearer, the more nervous and depressed I get. I totally wasted my summer. Everyday was basically the same, and I didn't do anything! I saw friends once, and that was it. How is it possible to see people only once out of roughly 100 days of break?!! O__o I guess it's very possible for an anti-social like me. I can't believe break was so long...yet I didn't do a thing...*sigh* So of course my dreams last night involved school! They always do as it comes closer. :/ It suckssssss. So, when do you have to go back? (if you're still in school) Some might already be returning! I have until the 25th... I'll have to look at my schedule again, but I think my classes include: chemistry (I KNOW that...because that's the class I'm least looking forward to!), theology, drawing, English, clothing construction (sewing?), and (lolz) folk and square dancing. XD Yeah, that last one gets ya every time. I don't know if I'm taking other classes, but I remember those! And chem will be horrible because it has a lab day, and that means spending another 2 hours on campus doing labs! And I remember mine is going to be on tuesdays, from like 2 or 3 until 5:30pm! That's too late. ~_~ I'm really worried about my classes because of how I had to set them up...I barely have any time between them, especially on my busiest days, so I have no clue when I'll be able to eat or relax (like post here~). I'll have to snack during 10 minutes. Ugh~~ It's going to suck... Anyhoo, off that topic! I'll talk about this weekend. It was boring, the end. XD Well, really! I didn't do much. On saturday I helped my dad paint the first coating on our second deck. That's so hard to do...it really hurts my neck and back! But we did it. Then we'll have to paint a second coating, and it'll be done like the other deck I helped paint. :3 Since no one else in my family can get near paint. ~_~ Those allergies...my poor mom, and my brother claims to react to the paint. I'm sure my brother's fine; he's just lazy. But my mom can't even go outside near the paint while it's fresh or else her face and eyes will start burning. *sigh* It's so horrible. Anyhoo, so my dad and I did that. I enjoy spending time with my dad when he's in a good mood. XD We watch the baseball games together, do dishes together, and usually banter about ridiculous things during those times, too. I don't like being around him when he's a total crab though, and that's very often! Yesterday I didn't do anything really. We had thunderstorms off and on all day...which I liked. I love the rain so much. :3 And thunder and lightning are fun, too. XD The baseball game was delayed due to rain for a couple of hours, but then it resumed and they didn't get anymore rain, but our area kept getting it! I like that. XD Then I can keep watching the game without it being rained out, but I can also enjoy the storms outside. Anyhoo, the game was exciting (we won), and there was this part that was really hilarious! I'll try to describe it more simply because some of you that don't know baseball might get confused. XD But um, our pitcher Jamie Moyer (he's 45, one of the oldest players currently in the MLB) was up to bat, and he decides to bunt. It looked like the catcher or their pitcher was going to get the ball and throw it easily to first base and get Moyer out, but they bumped into each other! So they totally messed up and couldn't even throw the ball right. XD So Moyer kept running around the bases, and he ran right into the umpire, pushing him down!! HAhaha. He like tackled the umpire (that's how bad a runner Moyer is) and then kept running. It was so hilarious. I wanted to show you a vid of that, but I don't know if I can find it! But it was just funny...cause the other team (the Pirates) made so many errors, and Moyer was able to do a great job and also make a scene with that poor umpire. XD Sorry if that made no sense~ you had to see it to understand it. Maybe. But yeah, so yesterday I didn't do much. I worked more on my vector, and it's almost done. :3 I still need to work on the scarf some more though...I'm not sure if I'm going to go with the color it is now. ~__~ I also need to do the shadows and highlights...and THEN the background. I've been trying to figure out what to do for the bg, but I'm afraid of what might look good...that it'll take way too much work. *sigh* I suck!! The other day on theO I posted some cloud photos that I took from that beautiful day! I took more, so you should look at them. Some of you already viewed them, but here they are and more again. Clouds 1 (new) Clouds 2 (new & fave) Clouds 3 Clouds 4 (using as desktop) Clouds 5 Clouds 6 Clouds 7 There you go! I hope you like them. :3 I also hope they work. XD And yes, I want to use them in a wallpaper some time, if not my current one. Umm...ok, I think I wasted enough of your time! I'm off to eat food and see if I got my manga orders and/or burst limit contest prize...if I don't get my prize soon, I'm going to PM adam again. -__- Okies, thanks so much for visiting me!! *hugs* You're the best. :3 Take care!

Warning: thanks/cicada, dreams, world post, yesterday, vector, & dad

Hey, guys! :D So nice to see you again. XD (as if it's been so long...and as if I'm looking at you!) Thank you for the comments. ^_^ Several of you apologized for not commenting before, but don't worry...it was only one post. XD Sometimes I get people that come back after months of inactivity! Insane-san, it's nice to see a comment from you here finally. :3 It's ok that you don't visit much on MyO anymore...I don't mind. And Sesshlu, too! *hugs* Hehe, don't worry again! I like hearing from you whenever you can make it. <3 Thanks for the comments. ^^ It seems like A LOT of you (not all) have never seen a cicada before...or rather, where you live, they don't exist. :/ I thought they lived in more places, but I guess not! Well, they're rather ugly things! HERE is a pic of one if you want to see what landed on my face... Okies, well...hmm...yeah, another day. ~___~ This routine of having one day after the other will certainly happen for a LONG time, won't it? I wonder when I'll not actually think about that in-depth. Um, but yeah. I had more really weird dreams (of course) last night...and some were very disturbing because of the people in them! I hate having dreams with "friends" or people in general that were mean to me. I've had this girl in my dreams twice lately, and I thought I'd never see her again ever. This is a totally different person from whom I've told you about before. ^^; This girl is someone who's made my life a living hell ever since meeting her in elementary school...a bully, basically. >< Ugh! And then I had other weird parts...school-related. I hate that! I hate how it's getting closer to school time...and my mind knows it. *sigh* Anyhoo, I haven't checked the mail yet, but everyday I'm hoping to see my Burst Limit contest prize. :( And I also ordered some manga so I want that to come soon, too... I posted on theO last night. It was late, so I understand if you didn't read it...but some of you did, so thanks. ^_^ And Sayoko!! Now you've become a maniac, lolz. Thank you for going through my e-cards and commenting them all! I really appreciate it. :3 *hugs* If you didn't read that post, well, it's ok, but you should really see the pic I posted in there...hehe, of one of our pitchers on the Phillies. It's so amazing. XD I swear! He could be a ballerina! How do they do that?? Anyhoo, I also talked about my not getting my prize yet...and how people in high positions usually don't reply to things from the common folk. You know, like admins, celebrities, etc. I know, I understand that they can be busy...very BUSY and not have time for everything/everyone, but I just wanted some info about my package! I never got a confirmation of anything at all...he sent me a PM about getting my address, and that was it. :/ I hope it isn't lost in the mail... My head itches. I need a shower. D: I didn't get to take one last night. ~_~ Itchy!!! Ok, so yeah, what else to talk about? Yesterday...yesterday I did nothing! DUH!! I barely even watched the baseball game. It was a day game, and I missed most of it...good thing, too, because we lost! It was horrible. Aside from watching anime and playing video games...and being at the beck and call of my brother all the time, well, I did mostly nothing! I worked on my vector some more though, and I finished (most of) the outlines. :3 Now I just need to work on the details and come up with the colors...I suck at planning ahead things like that, so I guess I'll end up experimenting...unless you have any color ideas? Ritsuka's hair is a dark reddish purple, and so are his eyes, but I don't know what I should do with his coat and scarf~~ While working on that, I also chatted with some friends online...getting help with my vector, too. XD My dad was in a terrible mood all day...you could say he was depressed, or maybe it was just one of his usual crabby moods...but whatever it was, it wasn't fun. :( He was upset at everybody from the beginning of the day! Because Corey and I sleep late and come out of our rooms past noon (I do that because I'm on my computer, like now...posting...it's noon), so he was getting really mad! "You sleep the day away! I'm up at 5am already doing things, and you're all asleep. You waste everything...why would you sleep that long?" -__- And then the rest of the day, he was just not his usual self... But after dinner, I cheered him up some. I can do that somehow. We usually banter after dinner, while we're doing the dishes. XD So I made some fun and was able to cheer him up a little! He was trying to make a joke, but it was really one that he read in Reader's Digest, and he didn't think that I read that...but, haha! Little does he know that I read lots of things. XD So after he said his joke, I'm like, "You READ THAT in Reader's Digest! Hahahaha!!! It isn't yours!" So I got the magazine and showed him. It was funny. XD Then we talked about that waiter kid I haven't seen yet again and like what we'd do if I saw him...if I would try talking to him, or if the waiter guy would say anything either, since he's so shy. Hah. Then we got a little rain, but it was still kinda light out, so there was a rainbow!! Pretty!!! It was a full rainbow...I haven't seen one in SO long. ^_^ Um, and after that...my dad, brother, and I went out for some ice cream. That all put my dad in a better mood! Ok! Sorry for making this post long like usual. And boring, I'm sure. XD I don't see how reading about my days are ever any interesting, but you guys manage. Thank you so much! *hugs* I'll try to visit later, too, but sorry if I can't get to everyone. Have a good weekend!

Warning: thanks, day, chiropractor, yesterday, vector, rain/cicada, & amv

Aww, thank you guys so much for everything. :3 Your comments were all so sweet! And encouraging and rather long! It was nice. I love long comments. ^_^ Rachel, that was one of the longest comments I've gotten from you in a while! Usually they're just a few sentences. XD Thank you all for your comments about my previous friendship, and most of you gave me an idea of similar happenings to yourselves. :( It sucks, but I guess that's just the way of friendships. ~_~ They don't last forever, no matter how great they seem. ELVES!!! Welcome to my site! :D Wow, I'm super excited. *hugs* I'm so glad to have you as a friend. ^_^ Welcome! Kaisa, Meg, Sesshy, Cassie, and anyone else I haven't heard from in a while, welcome back. So nice seeing you again~ Thanks again for the comments! It's funny how sometimes my thanking paragraph is as long as some people's whole posts. XD I'm just too verbose when it comes to posting! Although most of you have gotten used to that...so if I dare write something shorter, it would worry you. ^^; Umm...so yeah...it's yet another day...another day. Amazing how days work. They just come and go, and we always accept that. :/ Somehow we all decided how long a day is and what it's like...and we're just going to keep going through them until we die. T__T And then what happens??? *sigh* Yeah, sorry~ I don't want to know. I'm so afraid. Anyhoo, I shouldn't talk about morbid things first off. XD Um, I'm tired...and I had more really strange dreams, and last night's all seemed long. Like they lasted forever and all connected. And they also seemed pretty real...but not...then again, that's dreams for ya. Don't worry. Today's post won't involve a long flashback. "Boo! Flashback episodes!!" Yeah, I guess that's what my last one was. O__o Today's will just be normal...and boring like usual. Yesterday we (mom, Corey, and I) went to the chiropractor. I didn't need to be fixed that much...but I went anyway. It can't hurt to be adjusted when you always have neck/back problems! So while I waited, with the big heat pack on my back and those tingly pads on my neck, the chiro went to see how Corey was. Well...so I was waiting...and waiting...and along came a fly! There was a fly in the room!! >< I got freaked out because all I heard was buzzing right next to me [I immediately think bee], but then I saw it was a fly...but I couldn't do much about it! Not with all this stuff on me and when I was told to just stay there. ~_~ So this fly kept buzzing around my ears, and it landed on my hand a few times. I tried swatting, but that was pretty useless...how annoying! And when the chiro came back, I told him about the fly, and he just made fun. XD I swear he's like a second father to us. Hahah. In the end, the fly lived... Until the next time!!! Stupid fly. Anyhoo, so after that...we went to this sporting goods store to try and find some shoes for me and/or my brother. Well, they didn't have anything good or in my size. :/ I did end up getting some sandals though--just those flip-flop kind. I haven't had a pair of those in years. They're pink and black and comfy. :3 While there, I was looking at the Phillies baseball merchandise...and they had a Victorino jersey/uniform (my favorite player on the team~~~~), but unfortunately it was too big. ;__; And way too much money. $90 for a shirt? No thanks. But Victorino!! <3333 I would pay for him. Hehe. Um, after that we went to BJ's (a big warehouse store) to buy food and whatnot...nothing special there. Then we went home! Watched some anime (Emily of New Moon, and finished Binchou-tan)...then Corey and dad went fishing, yay. I worked on my vector a little more. Here's the preview of what I have at the moment: Yeah. I'm not really completing him in a logical way. ^^; I went hair, face, eyes, turtleneck, some parts of the scarf, buttons, and then fur lining. XD So random. I don't know why I didn't complete his body's outline (rest of scarf and coat) first before those, but eh. I wanted to work on those buttons. ^^; This is the original scan I'm vectoring. Okies, anyhoo, so Derek (oldest bro) came over for dinner...and he was pretty depressed. :/ It's so easy to tell with him. He's usually in high spirits and joking around, but not this time. Apparently he was down about his job...he doesn't like it anymore, and he's tired of the daily grind. Cubicle work isn't fun, and he wants to get out of that normality. Poor thing. So he didn't have much fun with us. Later, when dad and Corey came back, we went in the jacuzzi...while it RAINED!! Like I didn't know it was raining until after I had my swimming suit on and going out there. XD But it didn't matter~~ I love the rain, and who can tell when you're in the water anyway? A little later, while in the jacuzzi, I felt something smack me on the neck! I thought that my brother had thrown something at me (who knows what), so I wiped whatever it was off and glared at him. Well, he didn't do anything! So I looked what I panickingly (that's not a word) smacked off...and it was a cicada!!! O___O I thought it was some beetle that flew at me at first, but then I saw...no, it was a freaking huge cicada that dive-bombed me. It scared the crap out of me!! T__T And so I was freaking out the rest of the time. It hurt, too. XD So I had my brother get it out of the water and put it somewhere, but of course...being my brother, he put it ON MY GLASSES. *rolls eyes* Eww. Yeah...err, the rest of the night was spent watching our losing baseball game. -__- Yeah, we lost, darn. Can't be perfect! We'll win today then! I hope. Okies...that's all, I guess. I'll put an amv in here for once. It's an Oofuri one that i found the other day. I wubs it a lot. THANK YOU for visiting me. *hugs* I think this post might've been longer than usual? I don't know. Maybe not. I never know. Sorry if it is and it was a waste of your time. :( Thanks for sticking with me. *hugs* I'll try to visit when I can. Take care!

Warning: thanks. watch out for a trip down bad friend memory lane...

Heyo~~ Thank you for the great comments. It's felt like a while since being here. XD I know, it's just been the usual weekend, but I don't think I was online as much as I usually am this time! But anyhoo, thank you for the comments. ^_^ Welcome back to anyone that hasn't been here in a while! Yes, I appreciated your comments about the mailbox vandals...we haven't done anything about that yet. Nothing else bad has happened, so we figure it's all ok. ^^;; We hope. I see lots of you already saw Dark Knight and loved it, others will see it, and some of you don't want to see it which is fine! I see your point Twist-chan. *nods* That would be a good reason not to see it. :3 It is stressful when you think of those things. ^^; Anyhoo, arigatou again to everyone that visited! Was that shorter? Yes, shorter than usual thanking...but you guys know I love ya. XD It's just that I woke up later than usual today. At least 10 minutes later...yet when I woke up, it felt like it should've been an hour earlier! I looked at my clock expecting it to be around 10 something, but then it was 11:22! O__o It gets so late so quickly. Everyday...there isn't enough time in the day. ~_~ Ugh. My dreams last night were really weird as always...very strange, yet they felt real. So when I woke up from them, it was almost like I should've been...I don't know, back in my dreams. Strange school ones and one where I was in Toys R Us trying to find gifts for these kids...it was odd. I'd go into details, but I don't have time for that. XD Plus, I don't think you really care! Last night, while trying to sleep, my mind was so incredibly hyperactive. It just wouldn't shut up. And this time it was thinking about previous friends! [memory] Well, mainly this one friend (IRL). She's the one I've probably mentioned before...we were best friends in middle school; no one could separate us. We met in 7th grade in English class, and since then we were best buds. She was the only friend I ever went to the beach with, and during one of those summers, I went over her house almost every week. We had so much fun together...but then when high school came, she changed. She gained new friends, and suddenly I was shoved aside. She would feign interest in me, when I would obviously be depressed during class with her...when she'd just be talking with her "new" friends. She was the only friend that ever gave me a nickname other than some shortening of my real name (like Kels)...it was Kou. And she would call me that all the time, and she even called me an Angel. ;__; All that didn't matter then... We used to have this notebook that we shared. We would pass it back and forth, writing things in it...like what we did that day, or things about our crushes. We had so much fun. ^^; Now I'll never see that notebook again....she had it last, and ever since she screwed me over and told me that I was annoying and not good enough to be her friend, we haven't really talked. I'm sure that Hello Kitty notebook is long gone; she probably threw it away. Yeah, she was really mean to me...I thought we were still friends, and I thought that we could still be friendly with each other, but when she told me how she really felt...that was it for me. That new group of friends took her over and made me look like the whiny selfish person. She told me stuff like that. She said a lot of mean things! That was in either 9th or 10th grade...since then we haven't really talked. One time in senior year I saw her, and we tried to talk, but it was too hard...whenever we'd see each other in the hall, I'd look away. *sigh* Why am I reminiscing like this???? I DON'T KNOW. You guys probably don't care. It's just I was thinking of this stuff last night...and how maybe i should try contacting her again...for good times' sake and see how she's doing. She was going through major depression last time I heard, and she wasn't even at graduation last year (2 years now I guess...)...so I wonder how she is. It's just that my mind and memory works in strange ways, and it decides to bring up the stupidest stuff at odd times when I don't want to remember things. So last night I basically went through our whole friendship...the good times and then bad. ^^; And now I'm just typing it out to get it out of my system...sorry...have you ever had friendships like that? Ones that were so great but then totally crushed you? Ones that made you jealous or feel left-out...and then think, "Why bother with friends??" That's what she and another friend did to me...*sigh* [/memory] I shouldn't be thinking of these things!! >< I'm really sorry for wasting your time. Back to my usual posting...but don't worry, I won't make it much longer. Um, so this weekend was boring. I didn't do anything...seriously. I didn't go out of the house once. I stayed home and did nothing everyday. Watched anime (current favorite is this short series called "Binchou-tan"; it's really sweet and cute, and short like I said), played video games (I'm almost done Persona 3), and went on the computer. I made that new e-card the other day, which I guess I'll put in this post, too, but most of you have already seen it. :3 So thanks for that! And yesterday I started a new vector. It's going to be like my last one, from a black and white manga scan of Ritsuka from Loveless. XD You can see the preview of what little I have HERE. And here's the card. (I already showed it off on theO, but if you don't frequent there...then yeah) I've been reading the manga (really Manhwa, Korean manga) Demon Diary. It's actually quite good! It's older (one of Tokyopop's first releases), and I've had it sitting on my shelf for about 4 years. XD I got the whole series in a big manga lot a few years ago from Ebay, along with a lot of others...I bought it mainly for Descendants of Darkness, so I haven't really read anything else I got from it. ^^;; But now I'm finally out of my new manga, so I decided to pick it up and read! It's really good, and I love the art style. The one demon guy in it, Eclipse, is really sexy, too. ^_~ Hehe. How could I have not read this before?? Bishies were just asking to be ogled! XD Hah, anyhoo....that was random! But I have nothing else to talk about. Unless you want to hear that our baseball team won 2 out of the 3 games against the St.Louis Cardinals this weekend. <3 Yayz. I don't know what's up for today...probably nothing... Sorry to waste your time like this! *hugs* But I'll end your suffering here. Thank you for visiting me and for reading my nonsensical reminiscence about a crappy friendship...it's like you were just reading what went on my mind mind last night. ^^; Sorry. *hugs* But thank you again. I'll try to visit today when I can. Take care!

Warning: thanks, sleep/dreams/friends, mailbox incident, Batman, & cards

Hello! Hah, yeah...the site of wonders...sure! Well, thank you for returning anyway! ^_^ *hugs* Thanks for all the comments before. Sparkle-chan!! WELCOME! I'm so happy to have you as a friend now. :D I hope you'll like visiting me, and I'll visit you when I can, too. Yup, long posts. XD Wow, I'm looking at your comments now, and they're all so wonderfully long! And I got ones from new friends and ones that haven't visited in a while, like Emmah, chezaswulf, I am manga, Angelbest, Yug!! Goodness. XD It's a party! And every other sweet friend of mine. I <3 you guys so much! Haha, Manga-san, yes, my posts are those of a girl. XD I'm glad you can tell! But true, I find that guys and girls on MyO really post differently. Anyhoo, thanks again for everything. Okies. So last night's sleep was like the others'! I'm trying to not take a full sleeping pill, and I've actually slept using a half. See, even though I'm still taking the pill...it doesn't matter! Because before, a half wouldn't do a thing for me! I'd still be awake all night...so I'm thinking maybe I'm getting better. ;D Maybe I won't even have to take sleeping pills soon! Just one step at a time...I may not be getting as good sleep, but that's totally normal. ^^; My body needs to get used to not being force-fed sleeping chemicals. XD I sure had strange dreams last night though! Well, not that STRANGE, but they weren't good...duh, they were school-related though. ~_~ Every summer, as school draws near, I have more and more school dreams...and they're always so stressful. I was lost, and I didn't know where I was going, and I didn't have any food or money for lunch...but I was walking around with this dog that was supposed to be Gage, and I was trying to find George to return him. :/ [If you don't know who they are--George is this handicapped man that takes classes at my college, and Gage is his guide dog; we've become friends.] So yeah, my dream was weird and realistic but not at the same time... I've also been having friends of my past turn up in dreams...and I really DON'T like that. The other night, I had 2 girls that have tormented me since elementary school pop up in my dream...waking up from that sickened me. And last night I had some more people from previous years be there. *sigh* Stupid brains!!! Why do they remember things like that and persist to torture us! Like I keep thinking about these 2 ex-friends that I used to have so much fun with...I can't remember a lot of friends' voices, but theirs I can...and now it just makes me sad or angry to hear them. Their laughs...it sickens me... Sorry about that. Little trip down stupid memory lane. Moving that aside...umm...yesterday! Yesterday, a lot of things (kind of) happened! First off, I checked the mail! *ooooh!! exciting* But what's different about it? Well, our mailbox was bent! It was bent in and there was a streak of silver...aka the paint was scraped off [our mailbox is black] right across the front of it. "Huh, I don't remember it looking like that...maybe dad did something to it, accidentally hit it?" Well, noooo...that's not the case! I totally forgot about this mailbox oddity until later in the day, when I asked dad and mom about it. Dad said he had no clue! But he found a bit ROCK lying on the side of the road, on our yard...and lo' and behold, it had black paint streaked across on side. Now then, little detectives, what does that mean? That SOMEONE took that rock and threw it, or ran it along, our mailbox! Vandalism, anyone?? My dad was so angry to find that out. See, there are these neighbors...that have golf carts, and they let their kids drive them around...well, my dad caused some trouble for them by not allowing them to drive on our yard (duh, it's our property, get off it, kids)...and we think that they've had a grudge against us ever since for that. We have no clue who did this to our mailbox, but we're guessing it was them. >_> We could call the police...but they wouldn't do anything. "Oh, so some paint was scraped off your mailbox! Ah, a little dent...no problem. What can we do?" *rolls eyes* I just hope that whoever did this, isn't looking to destroy more of our stuff... Back to yesterday! I finally got to see the DARK KNIGHT!!!! *___* It was...awesome!!!! A little too long, but I can't complain~~ The action was amazing...and Heath Ledger as the Joker was superb!! It's just sad that he died...so sad. While watching the movie, I tried to soak in every part of his...and think, why couldn't he still be alive? Why did he have to die? It really makes you more angry. XD At least me! But it definitely makes you appreciate the movie more! I had to go to the bathroom SOOOOOoooo badly throughout most of the movie. I didn't know it'd be so long. XD But I didn't want to get up and go because I didn't want to miss anything. ^^;; So, I kinda felt sick later...stupid bladder, but I guess it was worth it! Hah. I didn't think I'd like the movie so much because I couldn't stand the last one, but I guess it was all because of the Joker~ [to me, it felt like Batman was the side character!] So yeah, I recommend it if you haven't seen it already. :3 When we got home, my mom discovered this thing on my wrist! I didn't notice it all day...but it's this really red bump, like a bug bite. :/ I'm guessing that's what it is...a bug bite...cause it itches, but it's just weird cause I didn't notice it all day! And it's right where I wear my watch, so like how the F did it get there??? Ah well. Um, later that night I made a new e-card. That's 2 cards in 2 days! Wow, I'm on a roll. XD It's a gift for Steph (Magnus)~~ Since she loves Tyki so much. ^^ And my previous card was of Ritsuka from Loveless...so you can check whichever you haven't seen yet, if you want. Thank you to those that already did!! *hugs* If you're interested in our baseball news. XD Our Phillies have been winning again finally! We've won 4...or 5 now? Games in a row, so we're back in first place~ It's been great. :3 As for today, I don't know what I'm doing! Probably nothing, but I feel like I should do something...this summer seemed like such a waste. ^^; Going out once a week or 2 isn't very healthy, I imagine. Whatever. I think this is all from me...I should stop writing so much!! These always take me at least a half hour to write. So thank you for taking the time to read them!! *hugs* I'll try to visit more today~ Sorry if I don't. Take care!!

Warning: thanks, sleep, days/school, dinner, brothers, wp, & sorry

Helloz! *hugs* Welcome yet again to my site of wonders. XD No, not really. There isn't much in the way of wonders around here! But thank you for visiting anyway. Thanks a ton for the comments. I adored every one, of course. :3 I now have a new friend, so yay~ Welcome Zackerz (or should I call you Sayoko?) to my site. It's great that I'm still getting new friends here on MyO. Yes, long posts, you'd best be prepared for them. ^^; Sesshy, nice hearing from you again! You should know by now that my posts are this long! XD And to hear from Gi-chan, Jungy, and Imasyon again in such a short time is amazing~ Welcome back. *hugs* And thank you many times over to everyone else that commented! Yup, my parents have been married for 34 years! You all said it was a long time, and I guess you're right. You don't see many people staying married for much over 5 years these days. :/ So yeah, thanks for all the comments! I'm not feeling as tired today. Although I might feel more tired later, I'm not feeling as dragging like my other mornings after taking a full sleeping pill. That's because I only took HALF of one last night, and even though it took me a long time to fall asleep, and I only slept for like hour intervals...I slept. And that's an accomplishment for me...to not take a full pill and be able to sleep some. I'm trying to wean myself off of them and get back to natural sleep. I don't even think the half a pill did anything so maybe it was all just me and my will power? If so, then I'm psyched~ Unfortunately, it'll be a rough road to natural sleep! Nights of bad sleep (like last night) or no sleep...but I'll somehow manage...and then my body and mind better just listen to me and sleep, darn it! Agh...my head itches. D: I need a shower. XD I didn't get to take one last night because I didn't have time, so now I'm paying the price! Going in the jacuzzi almost every day makes you feel like not taking a shower because it's like, "Well, I was just in some hot water...which was almost like a bath...didn't that count??" Obviously not, but darn it, I wish it did. Haha. Maybe that's just me and my horrible hygiene habits. Umm...so yeah...I guess I'll talk about yesterday! First I'll say that Monday and Tuesday seriously disappeared. I don't know where they went. :/ WHERE did they go?? Especially monday. I kept thinking yesterday was monday...but no...it wasn't. Darn, and it's almost August...school...nooooo...*sigh* I don't even want to think about it! And yet I'm kind of looking forward to it...nooo...I didn't want to say that!! I'm not really looking forward to school at all, but I kinda want to have something to do! Maybe that's the true meaning of summer--to bore us students out of our minds so that we want to go back to school and become busy again. I know I'll hate it when I'm amidst the projects and papers again, but right now, they don't sound half bad. Oh, it's not like I'm bored. I'm never really bored...it's just that the things I'm doing now make me feel unproductive...like I'm not doing anything that's worth the time. But that's just me and my stupid thinking. So anyhoo! Back to yesterday. Nothing happened. Well, nothing all day until dinner. We went out to eat at this fancy restaurant to celebrate my parents' anniversary. Derek came with his girlfriend Susan, too. That was kind of unnerving, like it always is, because we don't like "intruders" in our family. XD Like it's always hard having other people with us while eating! Even though she's his girlfriend, and she's really sweet, and who knows, maybe they'll get married one day, and she'll be my sister-in-law...but still! We can't really act the same, talk about what we'd like, or not talk at all. Conversation has to keep on flowing...to not make her feel awkward. Anyhoo, the restaurant was nice, but I didn't like it much because it was so high-brow feeling. The waitress was so serious, and to me, it almost seemed rude. She was more like a robot...and she never smiled. Gawd, what I'd do for that cute waiter guy at the other restaurant...I want to see him again... The food was ok, but it was way too expensive. -__- Derek paid for our parents' food, and he was in total shock after that because of the high price. My dad was still mad at him from this incident that happened before so he was all serious business-talk the entire time...I hate that. I hate how my dad seems to hold grudges, and it's usually over the stupidest things, and then he just explodes at once. And my brothers, they never talk to each other. Not once did they say a word to one another at the table. D would talk to Suze (girlfriend), and Corey would either be silent or talk to me...and after dinner, Corey seemed like he was jealous or mad about D and his girlfriend. He even tried to compete by buying us ice cream. I guess that's the only want he'll be "generous" at all...if Derek does something like that, and then he needs to feel better than him. I wish my brothers actually talked like normal siblings...I wish they got along...every spoken word sounds more like a jab. *sigh* Yeah. Um, anyhoo, off that topic...as I've mentioned before, Oli-chan (sweetdevil) and I collaborated on a wallpaper. :D I submitted it to theO yesterday, so please check it out! Lots of you already did, and she and I thank you very much! *hugs* Ooh, theO's upgraded the "sharing" aspect of artwork! Now they finally have the prewritten html code for us to use~ Awesome. And have you seen the gifts? It's so cute! Too bad we can only send 3 per month...which sucks. I have so many wonderful friends I want to send them to. :( Thanks to those that already sent me some. I have 4 "gifts" now in my portfolio--2 happen to be cupcakes, and the other 2 are the little bunny or dog or whatever it is. XD I love how you guys think the same (stixx, oli-chan, meagan, saku-chan). So yes, thank you. :3 Umm...let's see...oh, sorry I didn't visit much yesterday. Because of going out to eat, I really didn't get to be on the computer at all. I'm so sorry. I'll try better today. Sorry~~ This post seems to go on forever, doesn't it? I'll stop now. Sorry for my lack of comments and my long boring posts! I'm amazed that anyone still comes here. ^^; Thank you. *hugs* Take care!

Warning: I'm tired of warning people. XD

Thankies, thank you for the comments! You're all such wonderful friends. It seems like a lot of you had troubles with commenting one way or another though. It seems that the comment boxes dislike the use of the angry emoticon (>_<) and anything else with that first character (>) more than ever! Or maybe it's the other one that gives it trouble and decides to erase everything? Well, regardless, some friends keep having comments cut off! *hugs* Jungy!! I've missed you sooooo much! My dear! It's been forever since your last visit, and here I'm your wife. XD I hope to hear more from you than those cut off comments. *hugs* And other people--welcome back! Mami-chan, Gi-chan again, Anna-chan, and capture! :D Thank you all for commenting again, and same to my other sweet friends that did as well. I love you guys! Yet again, I got up a tad earlier to make sure to have enough time to post, but...that plan failed! How'd it get so late already?? -__- It's amazing, seriously, how time flies without knowing...I emailed a short email to Stixx, I visited AP and commented on one wallpaper, checked comments on theO and here (read them all), and then a half-hour goes by! So much for being earlier! *rolls eyes* I guess I really do need to wake up more towards 10:30 instead of past 11...but it's just so hard to get up! Laying in my bed in the morning just is too comfortable. It's a nightmare at night, at bedtime, when I'm supposed to be sleeping...but after taking my sleeping pill [yes, that's why I'm able to have dreams] and then sleeping through the night, I never want to wake up. The pills have this like residual sleepy effect, where you feel like falling back to sleep whenever you wake up. ~_~ If only I could feel like that naturally at night... I have all these emails from friends that I have yet to reply to. I feel so bad, but I'm incredibly lazy, and I don't make time for them. Days and days go by, and I don't even realize it. Like I said, this summer is zooming by, and I feel like I haven't done a thing! It's terrible!! And my taking a week in between replying to friends that might want to do things doesn't help. It's like I'm afraid of social events. I always reject offers to come over or whatever, and I even feel bad after going on theO's chatroom now! I make a fool of myself one way or another, and it's stupid...I feel like I'm wasting more and more time when I talk with people...like I'm not doing something productive. That's what this summer has been, a waste! Before I know it, it's nighttime again, and I need to waste more time by trying to sleep. It's like WHERE did my day go?? *sigh* I do the same things everyday, and it's not like I dislike that (heck, I love staying home), but at the same time it makes me depressed that I'm not experiencing life at all. Umm. Ok, enough of that for now. I could probably ramble on more about my morbid thoughts on life, but I won't. ^^;; I shall talk about this weekend! Okies, well then...Saturday was my parents' anniversary. 34 years? I think...I think they've been married for 34 years. Wow. That's a long time! It wasn't much like other anniversary's because there were essentially no gifts. We kids are totally useless when it comes to buying gifts, so no one got them anything [I made them a card at least! My brothers did nothing, and they have jobs and money...], and my parents didn't give each other anything either. :/ That's totally different. Usually there's some big gift from dad like jewelry or something, but they were lazy this time. We didn't go out to eat yet either...we were supposed to go tonight, but the restaurant is close on mondays, so probably tomorrow. Oh, my dad did get mom flowers, but she can't have them because she got one of her wretched reactions. To flowers now? Heavens! Paint, chemicals of any kind, newly built houses, basically anything with an odor, and now flowers?? My poor mommy. It's like she can't go anywhere without having her face and eyes burn...how stupid... Yesterday, well, we had some thunderstorms. Our electricity went out for a tiny bit, but luckily it came back on. I was able to go online and chat with Oli-chan to continue working on our wallpaper collab. It's almost done. :3 It looks really great~ We make an awesome pair! So yeah, I worked on that for most of yesterday, but the rest of yesterday was spent watching baseball. XD Yeah, of course. Just like saturday! We won both games!! And both we were down and losing terribly, and I felt so depressed when we were, but we miraculously came back from the dumpsters. Saturday's we won 10-9 after being down 3-9, and yesterday, we won 12-10 after being down 0-5!! Hah! You can read about our team and that stuff here if you want. If you care at all about baseball, which most of you do not. XD Sorry. Umm...other than that, I didn't do much, but I gotta say that our winning those really boosted my mood! I feel ridiculous that watching a team win a sports game makes me happy. ^^; And I don't know how much that'll happen these days...and ugh, I just get into my slumps so often now, especially when I have to be with my brother all the time on his days off (monday, tuesday, thursday). Okies, I'll end here with an amv. It's just the Oofuri opening song (extended). Yeah, sorry~ I'm a Mihashi/Oofuri fanatic these days. Thank you, baseball. XD Thank you for visiting! *hugs* I love you friends all so much...I hope you know that. I hope that you don't mind when I'm unable to comment as much. Like this weekend...well, lately, I haven't been getting to everyone like I should. I'm sorry. :( I'm sorry...I get anti-social a lot these days. ~_~ *hugs* Thanks and sorry again. Take care!

Warning: kind of a shorter and boring post

Goody!! So many comments again. XD I love you guys. And it's exciting to see who will comment each time I post~ I'm seeing more from people that rarely visit and pop up every once in a while lately, but I like it! It's nice seeing you guys again. ^__^ And this time they were...Gi-chan [I finally have msn so I just put in your email address? I just don't go online much~], Angelbest, Lestat (don't worry; don't feel bad for the comment. :3 It was longer than some leave. Oh, and my brother is my older brother...I don't have a younger one), Shi-chan, and Driffter. :D See, wow, a lot of rare people. *hugs* And of course a major thank you to the other sweet friends that commented and comment me a lot. I'm so honored to have you guys~ I appreciate all the congrats and everything. :3 Yah, so another day of summer has arrived. These days are flying by, and I don't know if I like that! Then again, who would?? Unless they really like going back to school...hmm...no. Yeah, these days kinda just meld together, and I'm like, "Eh? What day is it? What did I do yesterday? Am I alive?" Gawd, I can't stand that feeling. :/ Bah!! Like seriously, for most of yesterday, I thought it was Sunday! I don't know why, but I kept thinking it was sunday and today would be monday! [it's really friday today, or so I'm told by my calendar] So I was thinking in terms of our baseball team and its upcoming matches, and I was like, "Aw, darn, no game tomorrow...and after this loss." But now I realize that, no, today and this weekend there are games, and I hope we win. Yes, our team decided to lose some more these past 2 games against the Mets. *shakes fist* How is it that I go from talking about being semi-depressed and not knowing days to baseball again? Sorry. XD I'm such a freak. So last night/this morning, I had really weird dreams! But then again, I tend to all the time. As you may expect, I did have some baseball-related ones, and that involved us driving by and seeing this team practicing. I was so excited to see that...and then all of a sudden, it turned into an anime about how these baseball guys (presumably the cast of Oofuri) are really cute little doggies. *laugh* Yeah, they turn into cute doggies. It must be my reading of Petshop of Horrors (if you're not familiar with that manga, well, I'll sum it up to say that the animals Count D sells are usually in the guise of humans). XD Um, another part of my dream involved me riding my bike and not being able to stop!! O__o And then another one was where we were in Japan, and in this anime store, and the guys were sorta forcing us to buy all these things, and they didn't like us since we were American. ^^; And we didn't have enough money. Yeah, I have strange dreams... Speaking of which. I haven't talked about my dreams in my posts in a while. XD So there you go. Now you're even more bored~ Now then...what to talk about... *long pause* I don't know! I'm trying to think of what happened yesterday and/or the day before, and I'm coming up empty. I stayed home and was forced to just do whatever my brother wanted when he was home (and by that I just mean watch anime all day), and then wednesday he went to work...but when he was gone, I don't remember doing much anyway. :/ Watched a losing baseball game, worked on my wallpaper, visited/commented people [yes, I did a lot of that wednesday!], played Persona 3...yup. I can't think of anything else. And yesterday I was in one of those crappy moods, where I don't feel real or alive, and I was pretty depressed! So much for those happy and lucky things going on in my life. Those are over now. -___- And my poor mommy...dad yelled at her and made her cry because she got more packages in the mail. He got so mad...*sigh* My dad gets mad at everything these days... I've been going in the jacuzzi everyday. It's nice, but it's pretty inconvenient when it's 100 degrees outside. :/ Last night it was nice though, since it was pretty cool out. I hope it's cooler out today, too...I don't like really hot and humid days. And that's all we've seemed to be having lately. Bah. It doesn't even feel like I'm on summer break...wtf...it's not like other years at all. Other years, I could walk outside and feel AH, SUMMER and hear the cicadas and everything...but this year, when I walk out, I see the same boring, dead, scenery...my new house is so nature-deprived. *sigh* And it isn't like last year because, even though we moved last year, we were still able to go to our pool at our old house since it wasn't sold...but now...I haven't been in a pool the whole time. I miss it. That relaxing time...sure, we have a jacuzzi, but it's freaking hot...and it isn't as fun. I did make a new e-card yesterday though. A birthday gift for my friend bonitachika792. :3 So please check it out if you want. Thanks. And thanks to those that already commented. ^_^ Umm...this is turning out to be a very boring post, ne? Sorry about that. I just don't want to ramble on about the things I was going to; I'm afraid this would get TOO long. And I'm seriously wasting time here with trying to find an amv!! XD How'd it get so late?? Sheesh! I was trying to find a good amv with the Aishiteruze Baby opening song, Sunny Side Up, because it's such a great song...so cute, but I couldn't find any good ones with the full version. They're all slideshows! So here's just the original tv version (short), sorry~ Well, thank you a ton for visiting me. :D *hugs* I wub you guys so much. I'm sorry if this post was shorter or really boring...definitely the boring part holds true! If you feel as if you can't find something to comment on, feel free to be creative. XD Ask me some questions or something to answer in my next post!! Or tell me about your day! Or something. Just don't leave a one-liner. XD Thanks. *hugs* Have a great weekend~

Awwww, so many wonderful comments by wonderful people!! I can't believe they were so long! Oli-chan, you even had to separate it into two! Well, that's cause of the whole >_< face that screws comments up so much. XD Kiyo-chan, Filo, Kita, and everyone else that hasn't been here in a while...and it actually felt like it was most of you. XD Welcome back! Thank you for commenting again. *hugs* Don't hold back in long comments either; I love them. ;D Just lately, I haven't had time to read them before my post...like today! I didn't get to read your sweet words, but I will later! So THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. <3 Goodness, it's even later now. DX I'm going to have to really make this short...crapppppp. Well, it's because I was checking other sites, and then I felt really sick to my stomach so off to the bathroom *rolls eyes*, and then I was trying to send pictures TO my phone so I could have a nice wallpaper on it~ I was having trouble with that, but I finally got it to work, so yay. But now it's already past noon...goodness...and I haven't written a thing. :/ Sorry guys. Then again, most of you probably don't mind at all~ It's not like I get people commenting 2 minutes after I post. XD I used to though! Back in my hey-day [or is it hay-day?] on MyO, which was roughly last year, so many people would update! SO many. My friendslist was all blue...it was insane (I couldn't keep up with commenting), and so I'd have friends that would visit almost right after I posted. Steph, you were usually one of them! *hugs* It was crazy though, but now I only get a few comments even after a day...so it's nice that I don't post everyday anymore. Umm...so yeah...I'll be quick about this then! First off, monday! I said I was going to see Hellboy 2, and we did. Usually our plans go to ruin right away, but for once, we stuck with them. So we saw the movie~ It was pretty good, but I'd say it was very strange and a bit too long! I mean, I LIKE strange with all the cool creatures and everything, but it didn't seem like Hellboy. It was really different from the first movie, and I suppose it was because of the director [it was that Pan's Labyrinth guy]. The characters are all very neat, and I did take a liking to the prince guy...except that he was ugly...haha, BUT from behind, he looked sexy. XD Long blond hair, elf-like ears, cool clothes...ANYHOO. The movie was overall pretty good; it just seemed like a totally different fantasy movie than the previous one. Have any of you seen it or want to see it? I'm sure most of you are focused on the Dark Knight. Well, I am, too. I want to see it, but we're waiting a bit so that it isn't too new...crowded theaters aren't fun. Ok! So also that day, as I mentioned in a couple posts on my World, I found out that I was promoted on AP. :D From a normal member to a community waller, which is like becoming a senior otaku here. ^^ That totally made me happy...I was shaking with excitement! And then yesterday's events also made me shake!! ^__^ Most of you probably already saw, but I'll just say it again here...that I won the Burst Limit Contest with my Ace Attorney wallpaper from before. I can't believe it; I still can't! I've never won anything tangible. If I've even won anything, then it was probably something online that stayed online...nothing truly real. So for now, I don't really feel like I've won...I just don't believe it. *is in denial when something good happens* I won't say more because I don't want people to think I'm bragging, which I'm not. I think everyone that entered had a fair chance, and there were lots of great entries. I was just the lucky one. For slightly more details, you can just read my posts here. My brother Corey always puts a damper on things though...so I told him that I won this, and he totally downplays it. Not, "Oh wow! Good job! Congrats!! That's amazing!" Hah, yeah right. *dies* No, he was just like, "So you made this? Huh. What's so good about it? How is it better than the others? I can't tell. Oh, good so you finally got ME a game! I'm always getting you things, so you finally did something for US." >.< WTF!!!! WTFF!!!!! That's how my brother is. He has trouble with ever complimenting anyone and thinking of anyone other than himself. So according to him, my winning this game and whatnot just means that it's another game that he can play as well and that it's his. It's NOT. I told him that no, it's finally something that I WON for MYSELF. Gawd. He annoys me so much. And I had to go out shopping with him yesterday...yeah, for more video games. *rolls eyes* Doesn't he ever get tired of buying things??? But no, I had to pay money, too... Last night was an amazing baseball game. I would go into the details, but I'll just sum it up in the easiest way possible...the Phillies won against the odds! We won against the Mets, and it was sooooo great!!! It was SO great cause we were losing the entire game until the last inning, where we somehow freaking caught up and won. XD It was so exciting, and it made me so happy!! So yeah, these past couple of days have been lucky ones for me. I'm not used to good things happening like this...it's unreal...so in a way, it's depressing. Ok, I need to stop now and go eat...sorry if this was shorter or annoying or anything. *hugs* Thanks for visiting, and this time for real, I'll try to comment more today. I'm sorry I haven't been. :( I'm terrible. Thanks again. Take care!!
