Welcome to my site archives. 10 posts are listed per page.
Thank you all for the many comments! *bows* I've been going around trying to catch up on everyone.
Well, I'm more of a site commenter than a poster, but I thought I should wipe the dust off this site. As you can see I reverted to an old favorite layout of FF7AC ^_^
Thank you for all of the book suggestions! I still have to decide on a topic for my philosophy paper *shudders* (nervous about it)
School's been very busy, and I've been having an impossible time keeping up with stuff, so I've been falling behind on all of my social internet stuff... but what more can I say... life's going, and I'm not too interesting, but I've been missing all of you! *hugs* I'll be thinking of a more interesting post next time I update ^_^ and as always thank you so much for visiting and even more for sticking around and keeping this place alive!
I'm going to play with my site theme over the next couple of days...
Today's Question:
What's Chobits about?
-I've seen artwork for this anime all over the place, but I don't know what the anime's about, so if anyone would be kind enough to give a quick rundown that would be really nice!
Meanwhile, I've settled into a schedule. Going to bed around 4, sleeping till 12 (a good 8 hours of sleep!) class in the afternoon, time off in the evenings, work in the mornings.
It works.
And aside from a little cough, I believe I can now say I'm over with my cold. (just wait, I say that now and I catch one next week... hope not)
Meanwhile, I'm going to be doing a research project, and I need a book. It can be ANYTHING. Preferably something that has had a lot of critical analysis performed on it, and isn't too long to read. I'm looking for suggestions. I was thinking of Kerouac's On The Road but I'm having a hard time getting into the story.
Anycase, thanks for stopping by and answering my questions!
oh what a beautiful morning... oh what a beautiful day... I've got a wonderful feeling... everything's going my way!
well... the night I made a point of going to sleep early (a whopping 2am... but that's considered early in comparison to 4-5am!) I ended up sleeping until 1pm the next day. So I had a good 10-11 hours of sleep. And I still didn't want to get up!
But then the unexpected happened...
The following night (last night) I was unable to sleep AT ALL.
I tried going to bed at 2am, couldn't sleep.
Tried again at 3am, couldn't sleep.
Tried again at 6am, couldn't sleep.
Talk about a bad case of insomnia.
You know the feeling where you can't keep your eyes open?
I couldn't keep mine closed!
So anycase, I got a ton of work done. And by the time 6am rolled around, I thought of how I was hungry, and the dining hall for breakfast opens 7am. So I took a shower, got a REALLY good breakfast at 7am. at 7:30, came back, grabbed some sheet music and headed over to the practice rooms to practice the piano for a bit XD I stink, but I don't care XD it was so early it's not like there were music majors sitting in the hallway snickering how bad I am! hehe. One reason I hate using the practice rooms. I'm not a music major, I practice once every other month, I'm not the best player, I play for myself, I find it relaxing and destressing, and it bugs me when I know someone is listening to me with a critical ear.
So yeah, it was a GORGEOUS morning. I can't remember the last time I was up this early. ~But in all fairness, I didn't get up this early, I just happened to stay up this early.
So now it's 10 minutes to 9. I'm kinda tired, but figured if I stayed up this long, might as well stay up for the rest of the day.
Hopefully this 35 hour period of now sleep will help me fall asleep early tonight. And when I say early, I mean a reasonable 9-10pm. *laughs* having roommates usually put me on a schedule, but this year I have my own room, so if I want to stay up all night working, I do so. If I want to take extended naps during the day, I can. It's great.
Anycase, thanks for stopping by. Don't ask me what time it feels like... it feels like... 33:00 hours XD
MyO's gotten so small because so many people have left, yet new people can't join... T_T it's sad. I think I'll stay here though. Resistent to change I guess.
Does anyone know when Wall*E comes out on DVD? I saw it in theatres, and have been wanting to watch it again for months!
Meanwhile, training went well. I'm surprised there wasn't more to it. An hour orientation, and a packet of papers to read, and we're ready to start on the panel Thursday.
My cold's gotten worse. Tonight I'm going to take Tylenol Cold to help me sleep. Has cold season hit where you are yet?
Thank you everyone who commented on my last post! *hugs you all* You're all so nice!
Well, it's 5am and I'm still up. I finished my homework at 2am, thought about going to bed, then thought, "why not start on some reading?" So I did some reading for Thursday's class.
@3:40am- Tried going to sleep.
But my nose is not being very nice to me (cold) so whenever I lie down to sleep I get that pain from breathing through my nose and the sore throat so I couldn't get comfortable.
Then... some hiccups moved in.
So I decided to be productive. Visit some sites/update.
So here I am hiccuping at the computer at 5am in the morning... *laughs* I want to get some sleep...
ah well. Tomorrow I have training so I can be a jury member on my school's honor court. Basically, if someone gets written up for cheating or plagiarism, I get to be on the jury that decides what is to become of them. I figure it'd look good on my resume.
Hope everyone is well, and thank you for stopping by!
I'm going to take another stab at getting some sleep...
I probably change my themes a lot... but I was really in the mood for an Azumanga Daioh theme. If you haven't seen it, I recommend it!
Anywho... grad school is off to a great start, except I've been pulling all nighters since day 1 because there's no other way to get all the work done on time! Good thing though, my classes are in the afternoon, so even when I go to sleep at 4:30am, I get to sleep in till 11. Speaking of which I really need to get back to work...
Short post, but I wanted to show off my new theme, and I need to get back to work!
Thanks for stopping by!!!
oh, and I'd recommend watching the YouTube video at the top of my profile, it's a real pick-me-up and energy-booster!
I got new towels for the bathroom, and they're the shade of my text! XD I love this color.
Anywho, this afternoon I have orientation. We'll have our pictures taken and our faces will adorn the walls of the English building. I'm running around like crazy trying to make myself look nice. (ever notice the one day you try, is the one day it seems impossible to look nice?)
And this evening they're holding an informal BBQ so everyone in the program gets to meet each other. I think there are 17 students in my program, myself included.
Here's a YouTube clip I found. I love it. Not only is it Linkin Park's "Numb", but the fight scenes and clashes correlate really well with the music.
and of course thank you as always for stopping by on this fine Friday!
I found the piano sheet music to Linkin Park's Numb! Now I need a piano to practice on... I don't have my piano at school... There are practice rooms, but they're reserved for the music department. Once I got in there and was practicing when a person next door to me started mimicking everything I was playing. I'd switch songs, they'd switch to the same thing and start playing it even more fancy. Now, I know I'm not the best, I haven't taken lessons since 6th grade but it made me angry that they were purposely trying to show me up. *sigh* so of course the last thing I want to do is play something that I'm learning that obviously sounds bad and unpolished. I usually don't like playing for people, I'm a pretty shy person, and it bothers me to play when in the back of my mind I'm thinking, "someone's listening to this and thinking of how bad it sounds" One good thing about keyboards: headphones!
This afternoon I watched ff7ac, I was surprised how long it's been since I've watched that movie, I love it incredibly, yet I don't watch it that often. Probably because I don't want to watch it to the point where I'm tired and bored of it.
So anycase, Crisis Core looks absolutely awesome, and I shake my fist at the makers for not making it for PS2. I don't have a PSP T_T
...and so I was rummaging around YouTube and found this clip from Crisis Core, makes me wish that they'd make another movie, (and hurry up with a PS3 game!)
as always, thank you for stopping by and thank you for all the comments I've been receiving over the past few days!
reallly late on a Tuesday night or really early on a Wednyesday morning....
Conversation Topic: What makes Version Vibrant so great?
-Can you put music up?
-Can you format the site any way you like with html coding?
-How much control do you have on really making it "unique"?
one thing I've noticed, I'll try making changes and I'll have to go through the steps several times before the changes will actually take effect.
I think I'll be sticking with myO primarily. That plus 2 sites will be difficult to juggle. What are your thoughts?
My job ended last Friday. I have the week off until school starts on Monday. I have to fix my schedule and get books (this semester there are 39 books for my classes @_@ ...crazy English professors) Tomorrow I get to meet the faculty, and Friday is Orientation. I don't know what to wear to either. Normal clothes or fancy clothes trying to look like a professional grad student. I'll find something in the middle. (hope I have something...)
Meanwhile the week's going by too fast.
I haven't left my room for over 24 hours now.
--it's great.
I want to continue losing myself in nothingness, locking the door against the world.
