Saturday, February 19, 2005


See? Our team's better because we have five kids and three coaches.

Yeah, so I just might not have kept my promise the other day. So what?

Er, so what is that I guess I can't exactly remember much of what's happened lately.

Lets see... I'm going to have to dig deep into the archives of my brain... February 9th... February 9th... Um, what day was that again? *checks nearby, conviently placed calendar* Wednesday.

From what I can remember, something happened on Wednesday, but I don't remember what it is.

Thursday:
I was sick. Sort of. My stomach was really upset. Other than that I can't remember nothing.

How about we skip on to Saturday? That was a memorable day.

Saturday:
I'm still not going to say much here about Saturday. The high point: I beat the main story missions of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Whee, I liked so many of the last missions for some reason. They were kind of funny. I liked the last one a lot, even though it was a bit hard sometimes, I still found it hilariously fun. I also think this was the day my dad got all the Photo Ops...

Sunday:
The day I got sick. Headache, throbbing headache mind you, upset stomach, eyes hurt(now you know your sick when your eyes flippin' hurt...), the works. It was horrible. I was on the computer for about two hours before I went and popped a movie in(Cellular to be precise) and watched that. Then when my dad got home we ended up watching Without A Paddle again(we'd already seen it in theatres, but watched it again anyhow). I went home soon after that and took a nice long nap... from about seven or eight maybe to 11:30 PM. Then I fell asleep and woke up every hour(12:30, 1:30, 2:30, 3:30, 4:30, 5:30, 6:30, 7:30, 8:30 and then I began waking up at odd intervals and was having half-awake, half-asleep dreams where things that were being said nearby in the kitchen became incorporated into my dream or seemed more like part of my dream than actually happening. And my dreams became pretty damn messed up.).

Monday:
As I mentioned above, I slept in until around noon. All morning I had half-asleep, half-awake dreams and as I mentioned, they were messed up. I'm not even going to mention anymore of them. School ended up being cancelled due to ice or something. So, I didn't miss a day of school or nothing... I can't remember much of what I did. Lounged around. I think I played GTA:SA and that's when I beat the Heist Strand if I'm not mistaken...

Tuesday:
My mom let me skip school Tuesday to recover more... and other than that I think I read, typed up more in my story, and played GTA:SA.

Wednesday:
And I finally went to school on Wednesday. Not much to say here. Can't really remember much worth mentioning. Oh, except that I missed the spelling bee. Don't really care though. I wasn't going to choose to participate anyway. I still find it funny that Xio won in our Jumpstart though, as she can't spell worth a crap. (Have you ever spelled immediately as immeadiately? Or obviously as oviously? Seriously. Have you?)

Thursday:
I got to skip class in the morning to go to an eye appointment. *faints for a moment, thinking about her eye doctor* Hehe. Sorry. I really REALLY like him. He's just so... cool. And he's pretty cute. *winks* He says that my eyes have gotten a little bit worse. So I got some new lenses ordered and when they come in they're going to be put into my current frames. After that I came in to class around 10:30. I wish it could have been 11... Ugh. I ended up with Social Studies homework up the wazoo. Plus I've got other work in there to finish that I forgot to do earlier that week >.> There goes my perfect 100% grade, straight down the drain... *shrugs* Mmm.. nothing else to note I don't think. Oh, except that I really started getting into Body of Evidence. I think I'd really gotten back involved with it the night before though. But I can't remember.

Friday:
That was yesterday... lets see... I finished Body of Evidence, typed up more of my story on my laptop, typed up more in my Naruto fanfic, made plans for future stories, thought about things for my next story that I'm writing(you know, that one I based off my dream), thought about the extras I'm still writing for my other story. Lots of thinking. And I listened to Rage Against the Machine all day, too. And at around 5 PM, Lonnie and I went and picked Robin up and I when we got back I just grabbed my laptop again and continued where I'd left off.

I changed my font for my story, too. Now instead of size 8 Verdana its size 12 Trebuchet MS, a font that I quite like. With the font that size and in that font, my story totals out to 47-48 pages at the moment, and in the notebook, I think I'd be on from page 12-20, somewhere around there.

Damn. That's a lot of improvisions.

Today:
Lets save today for tomorrow(if that makes sense...). Maybe if you talk to me on AIM I'll tell you a little about today, but I don't feel like typing everything.

Mmm... Got Monday off for President's Day, so I'll be here at my dad's for a normal three day stay. Plan to be downloading lots of Naruto. Want to try to get to the most current chapter. My goal is Chapter 220-230. I'm on 195 right now. Tonight's goal is only to make it to 200. Tomorrow's is to make it to 220. We'll see what happens. I'll have to try to get up earlier if I want to make it to 220...

Subconscious mind

I'm in an on and off mood.

I want to post, but I don't want to post.

I'll just say this for now:

Whee, Naruto's been licensed. Lady K and I are discussing it over AIM at the moment... A few things about who's licensed it and other stuff is really bugging me at the moment(I would have rathered that Manga, Geneon or ADV would have got it, they do good stuff, rather than ProSho/VIZ as Kei has informed me that they usually give their stuff to FUNiMation and 4Kids...).

But I'm not in the mood to go into it anymore.

Tomorrow, I swear, I'll write up a big long post, outlining everything I've done since the 8th. (Its a four day weekend, baby!)

KIFFLOM!

Don't get the mumps, bumps, chumps, dumps, fumps, gumps, humps, jumps, klumps, numps, pumps, plumps, qumps, rumps, sumps, stumps, tumps, vumps, wumps, xumps, yumps, zumps or anything else of the sort.

The mumps are going around or something like that. Apparently, someone in the Middle School was diagnosed with the mumps(and they'd already had their vaccinations, too) so we're supposed to be "on the lookout" for signs of the mumps. *shrugs* I don't usually get stuff like that. Whenever something's going around the school I always seem to be exempt from it, which is a good thing.

Before any of you continue, if you don't wish to hear me talk about "girl issues" please head down to the second horizontal rule after this one:




I hate when I have my period. Its so fucking annoying and irritating. I always get the worst attitude, I'm moody and worst of all, I get horrible cramps. I mean tear-jerking, oh-my-god-I-think-I'm-going-to-die stuff. Well, maybe not that serious, but they do get pretty bad. And it sucks if I get them at school because then I'm hunched over my desk all day while my stomach is in fits.

And another thing that bugs me is that my period is just so... random. I cannot pinpoint the week that it will come. Never. I've also never had my period for more than three months in a row(usually if I have my period for one week over the course of three months I end up skipping a few months before I have another).

Its just really quite annoying. Some months I'll have it in the middle of the month(Most notably, the week of my birthday. I got lucky this past year as it ended about a day before my pool party at the hotel), other months I'll have it the last week of the month into the first week and some months I'll have it the first week of the month and on into the middle(such as this week).

And some months I'll either not get it at all or, if I do get it, its just dry stuff or a bunch of vaginal fluid. And I can usually tell when I'm going to have just that kind of stuff. I just feel a lot different from when I have my acutal period.

Ugh, but this week's going to be horrible. Its already started out horrible. My flow's extremely heavy. Over the course of today at school I filled up an entire pad(I mean, the ENTIRE thing). Luckily, the pad is like... really awesome. Not a single drop of blood spilled over and onto my pants. And even if any had, I had my sweatshirt tied around my waist just in case(I usually do that when I'm at school and on my period; I just feel too self conscious if I don't. Feel like everyone's staring at me and silently laughing or something. I hate being so paranoid...)

And to think today's only the second day... *whines and whimpers, holding her stomach* Two down, five to go.

And there's another thing: I had this book once, that told me that periods last from 3-7 days and every period I have, I'm hoping for a short three day one. Only a few times have I been lucky enough to have a short 3 day period. I almost always have a seven day period, with non-stop flow and only about a day of slow down where there's hardly anything and then it picks up again the next day.

But enough of this girl chatter. I just needed to get that off my chest.




Ok, all you people out there uncomfortable about the talk of periods can come back now. The coast is clear. All talk about the horrible monthly visitor has ceased.

I found this cool website last night. Its got a lot of stuff on Astrology and whatnot. I surfed around it and took a few different tests. I've got something planned for them for my next post. I would do it today, but I need something to do for my next one or else I wont be posting for awhile.

But you can visit the site here. Its pretty cool.

And in other news, I finished The Hobbit last night, started I Know What You Did Last Summer and finished I Know What You Did Last Summer today. Next I'm going to read Pay It Forward, then The Wind in the Willows. And yes, I plan to attempt to do it all today. This is because my PS2 at the moment is "busted."

Or put in easier terms, the disc tray wont open. Lonnie says he can probably fix it so he's going to take a look at it tonight when he gets home and if he can't fix it, my mom's going to take it to Main Street Audio and Video in Mount Pleasant for me(that place rocks! Such awesome used electronics and they do great repair work!).

If I finish those other two books then I'm going to end up reading Body of Evidence. I doubt that I'll finish that tonight if I finish the other two books. And if I finish those other two books I'll have to get some new AR books tomorrow(I'm going to get three more to be precise as three's the limit. I've got three out at the moment, I returned Redwall so I could get Pay It Forward and I'm going to get Redwall again tomorrow. The only book at the moment I have to return is I Know What You Did Last Summer, but if I don't finish Pay It Forward and The Wind in the Willows I'm going to have to renew them).

Dang, that was a lot of underline tags... *refuses to do anymore*

One shot, two shots, three shots, four shots/ All I hear is gunshots, this is where the fun stops/ Bodies drop, hit the floor/ Music's off, party stops/ Everybody hit the door, somebody's lickin' shots off.

Amazingly enough, I haven't posted for two whole days. There are two reasons for this:

1.) Friday was the day I went to my friend Brytanni's birthday party and spent the night.

2.) Early Saturday I headed over to Alexa's house after I left Brytanni's house and spent the night there.

Now I'm at my dad's house for a few hours...

And I don't know what to say. I'm not really in the mood to type up a long post(its that one time of the month again *complains*). Maybe I'll try to do that tomorrow or something. We'll just have to see. I might write about some of the things that I did at Brytanni and Alexa's houses *shrugs*

Would you like a kitten?

It actually felt a bit strange to not post for one entire day. But of course, you all know I spent that time I could have used for posting to do something beneficial, such as homework or studying.


Ok, you caught me. I used all that time to play Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. I was having great fun last night. Great fun. And I've realized that I should never ever begin gambling in real life. Never. Ever. I went to Caligula's Palace and started gambling. I began on the roulette tables, but I hate roulette so I went and played Blackjack for an hour until my gambling skill was at 100%. Then I went and gambled away a few million, won a few million and lost it again at the $1,000,000 Blackjack table. Surprisingly, I didn't gamble any today. Instead, I did a bunch of missions and when I say a bunch, I mean, A BUNCH.

For one, I did the last four Air Strip missions("N.O.E.," "Stowaway," "Black Project," and "Green Goo." The first mission was passing flight school.). Next I did "Saint Mark's Bistro"(twice actually, my plane kind of... exploded the first time >.>) Afterwards I ended up doing "A Home in the Hills," "Vertical Bird," and "Home Coming."

Some missions get me extremely flustered you know? Take N.O.E. for example. In N.O.E., the objective is to fly a plane under the radar from Verdant Meadows(see the maps and whatnot here) all the way to Angel Pine. Its a hefty task as flying under the radar and staying there is tough. Thankfully, being under the radar changes depending on how elevated the land beneath you is. If its lower than you, then you better drop your altitude and if you're high above the ground with something like a mountain below you, then you're still under the radar, whereas if you were at that same altitude in a lower area, you'd be over the radar and you'd be being attacked by Hydra jets, definitely not a good thing as I've realized today. Not because I ended up getting attacked but because I got to fly one in the mission "Vertical Bird." Those things have heat seeking missles with auto lock-on target. A few hits from one of those you can kiss your ass goodbye.

It took me at least ten tries to finally pass N.O.E. I kept screwing up because I'd accidentally flip the plane, hit something, crash, land in the water, blow the plane up or damage something on the plane causing it to fly incorrectly. I also learned that sometimes you have to ignore that annoying beeping that signals you're no longer under the radar. If only for a little while however. Only if I'm attempting to get to an area above me or to go over a few trees...

I really need to make some kind of post in the San Andreas thread on OB. I've got so many things I'd like to say... but I can't do it right now and probably not for awhile(its 11:55 PM and I'm going to be real busy this weekend).

Now to quickly check on a few other things and then head off to WordPerfect to type more of El Pistolla di un Assasino Part 1 Chapter 1!

If a dog went into the future and bit its own tail, when would it feel the pain?

Everyone has a different interpretation of what's to be expected in a contest and that's my last say on the subject, Syk.

Today has been the best day ever. I swear, its been just... some kind of a lucky day for me. I think I'm going to forever celebrate this day. February 1st: the day that everything went right.

You all know how I've been on and off complaining about flying school and driving school in San Andreas? Well... those problems have been taken care of. I was feeling confident earlier when I started up the game and my confidence showed extremely clearly as I finished the last driving school test in one try. One try! All that work before and I finished it in one try, just after I'd started up the game! I finished the course in just under two minutes, I think it was three seconds from hitting two minutes or something like that. And then, feeling so... happy about finally beating that, I proceeded to get Gold medals on most of the other tests that I had low scores on, but were tests that I knew now I could get gold on.

And then, AND THEN, I went to Verdant Meadows and after four or five tries finished the test I was struggling with. The next test was more or less the same thing, only I had to land afterward and the landing was the only thing that gave me the most trouble. When you're landing there are just too many buttons you have to keep track of. X to continue accelerating, square to start the plane to slow down a bit, forward on the analog to lower the plane into a small nose dive(not too large of one, though) and then, R3 to lower the landing gear. As you hit the landing strip, you have to remember to keep the nose down and let go of the gas and I never do. Every time I let go of the analog and the plane bounces back up into the air. But I still passed the test with about an 80% or so, only getting knocked off for time took to complete the course and a small bit of damage to the plane.

And the next tests were just simple. Most of them I did in one try and the last one was the one I'd been waiting for ^_^ The parachute jump! It actually took me a few tries to get down there in a decent time and get a high enough score. I passed with like a 71% or something like that.

And everythings gone smoothly since then. I've only had a few screw ups during missions, a few accidents that made me a bit pissed but I dealt with it and now I've gone as far as I can without doing the airfield missions. I've finished 3 out of the 4 missions I need to finish to open up "Saint Mark's Bistro." I just need to finish the last mission of the airfield strand, "Green Goo" and its smooth sailing. First I have to finish the other one's, though >.> "N.O.E.," "Black Project," and one other I think.

After that I've just got the Steal Cars strand, Heist Strand, and Zero Strand left on the map. I'd like to go and do the Steal Cars strand so I can open up WheelArch Angels(a street racer car mod shop). Not that I'm going to be doing any street races soon but I'd like to mod some street racers. I don't plan on doing the Zero Strand soon(I know its tough because of all the times I heard my dad swearing about it as he finished it and also by watching him attempt the missions, he did eventually finish it though...) and I'm going to do the Heist Strand first thing I think. Maybe. Guess it just depends on how I feel tomorrow and whether or not I get home in time to actually play(I've got Math Club and my mom usually gets to Xio's house kind of late).

myOtaku's a drug and that's that.

I'm movin' on up now

"With posts like these, and even having someone else do it for you one day.. I don't think that really qualifies as a win, lol."

I beg to differ; please direct me to any rule that says I can't have someone else post for me. From my understanding, all I had to do was keep my site updated every day for as long as possible. Also, other participants in the contest have posted shorter posts than mine for that days post. Sure, I could have said something else, but I mean, would you rather read that or listen to me ramble about some boring thing I did that day?

"Shin, just give DDG the prize."

Really, Shin. And don't go trying to tell me the prize is the insanity I've developed from the contest. *scowls*

And I'm still posting every single day, even after the contest is over. I've been changed forever. Maybe this is a good thing, though. *forces a smile*

Right, anyway, onto today's escapades!

Escapades... right.

So, I wake up this morning right? I smack the snooze button a few times, then get up, get dressed, brush my hair, brush my teeth, pull on my coat, gloves and hat and I'm halfway out the door when my mom asks me if I'd like to come with her, Lonnie and Blaike to a court appearance over Lonnie's visitation rights with Robin. I step back inside, close the door and proceed to answer with a, "Why couldn't you have asked me before I was almost all ready to go?!" But I agreed to go and had to get all changed into my dress clothes(black pants, black shirt, white overcoat).

The court appearance was boring. Blaike and I ended up sitting out in the waiting room as Lonnie, my mom, Robin and her mom discussed visitation rights with first their lawyers and then in front of a judge. Hehe, I had fun actually... I was, er, scoping out the cute cops that were walking around >.> I got a thing for guys in uniforms, especially cops ~_^ So does my mom, so I told her all about the few cops I'd seen while she was elsewhere.

After that, we came back home and discussed what time Blaike and I would be taken to school. It was finally decided Lonnie would take us both in around 11 AM so we wouldn't miss lunch. It was around 10 AM at the time so I headed off to my room and popped GTA:SA into my PS2 and played it for the remaining hour. I didn't get to do much. I think all I did at that time was wander around for awhile.

But we were dropped off at school at around 10:50 and after getting my tardy slip, I made a short appearance in Science at around 10:53. Hehe, Mr. Elsea and I joked about it, along with Kristen. Mr. Elsea said, "Glad you could join us for a few minutes atleast," and then I retorted with, "Yeah, I know. Its great isn't it?" then Kristen came in with a, "Wow, this class has gone by really fast!" and then another retort by me with a nod, "Almost as if I was never here."

I love jokes like that hehe. The rest of the day at school was pretty fun, too. Xio's mad at me because of what I've written in my story *grins* Woohoo! Hate club! >.> Er, anyway, she's really going to be mad after what I write after I post this.

But, yeah, after school I plopped myself down on my bed and started playing *drum roll* GTA:SA again. And today I was a bit daring. I decided to do some very tedious and frustrating things: 1.) I listed each and every required collectable item(just the number, so I could check it off) 2.) I began going around Los Santos and checking Gang Tags and checking them off(I'm 61/100 with about half of that actually recorded) 3.) I found out I have access to the airport(okay, so that was actually pretty cool and not tedious and frustrating because I love flying the Dodo plane ^_^ Its advanced so much from its predecessing Dodos from Vice and 3) 4.) I attempted to complete the third flying school objective and actually finished the course, but unfortunately, received 0 points *wipes away tears* and 5.) I completed bike school.

Now, with the subject of bike school, I'm quite good with a bike, so it was easy for me to complete, but I'm really actually ticked off at it at the moment. See, there are only like, five objectives I think and of those I have all but the very last one with a Gold certificate. The last one is the absolute hardest one and no matter what I do, no matter how much I try to follow the strategy guide's advice, I can't get 100% for it and that one objective is what's keeping me from having an NRG-900 outside the bike school. Instead, I have a lousy Freeway out there, just because I have ONE BRONZE MEDAL. See, if I have Bronze or better I get a Freeway, if I have all Silver or better, I get an NRG-900, and if I have all Gold, I get an FCR-500 or whatever. *cries* I want those bikes, dammit!

Mmm... I also succeeded in breaking the record of 25 points in Kickstart at the Dirt Bike Arena across the street from the Bike School. It only took me four tries, too ^_^ And before I was forced to save and turn off the game, I went around San Fierro and took random snapshots of hilarious things. I took four that I saved to my memory card. Currently, I've got a picture of the first time I ever saw the police from out in the country(them and their stupid cowboy hats lol), the second picture is of three Triad gang members with AK-47's, standing and chatting on the steps below one of my safe houses, the third is a picture of a movie entitled, "The Wizard of Ass", the fourth is a picture of the sign outside the Naval base, "SAN FIERRO NAVAL BASE: ALL UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL WILL BE SHOT AT" and the fifth and final is a picture of the word "DUDE" on a crane.

I really need to find something more constructive to do with my time lol.

Salvation is near

So... Have I won yet? According to my calculations, yesterday should have been the last day, something that I explained to Shinmaru last night.

See, if Shin quit on the 158th day and yesterday was the 166th and I had an 8 day handicap, that would make yesterday the very last day.

So, Mr. Shinmaru, have I won or not? I wanna get this fricken contest over with already so I can get back to my life...

....

Alright, you got me, I don't have enough of what could be called a life to even be considered a life. >.> Oh well.

*jumping up and down* Did I win? Did I win? Did I win? Did I win? Did I wiiiiiiinnnnnnnnn?

Delectfully, deliciously, delicately placed

I had fun at Lauren's house ^_^ It was great. We watched a lot of movies and TV and whatnot. And then around 9 PM I realised I had no way to post while I was over there or if I did, I thought it might be rude to ask if I could get on the internet. So I called in a favor with the only person I knew who could fulfill it: Xio!

It was around 10 PM when I finally called her with my cell phone. I'd waited until Lauren's parents had left so Xio and I could have a nice private little conversation. Lauren said it was a good thing they were both gone, too, because I was making some nice little death threats over the phone ehehehe. I reminded her that I could be a worse mafian than Mr. Elsea. I also reminded her that I have control over a certain part of my story that she would not enjoy me messing around with or changing the plans for. *grins devilishly*

But anyway, we went to the Rivertown Mall today and.... my god was I in heaven. We stopped at Barnes & Noble and... and... holy mother of god did they have manga up the wazoo. I mean, just shelves full of it! And they even had Saiyuki volume 5 and 6! And... they had Naruto, Get Backers, Comic Party, XXX Holic, X, Helsing, Inuyasha, Yu Yu Hakusho, GTO, Bleach, Yu-Gi-Oh, Dragonball, Dragonball Z, Legal Drug, Akira, Aria, Banner of the Stars, Ranma 1/2, and even more than I could ever name! And more than I could imagine! And by browsing the shelves I found some Mario Puzo books that I wanted(Namely, The Godfather and Omerta). And they had almost an entire section for Lord of the Rings books. It was just so fricken awesome. I looked for Lois Duncan books, too, but I couldn't find any...

And we went to Hot Topic and I got a Good Charlotte shirt and saw this awesome poster with stuff that you shouldn't say to a cop haha.

It was fun though. Fun fun.

And hooray! My new GamePro magazine is here! *reads and leaves this post as is*

That's bupkis!

Howdy. Yeah....it's ain't Kayla. She's busy hanging out with Lauren. It's me. Xio. Not Kayla. Xio=Not Kayla.

Glad we got that covered.

Sorta...

Well, I haven't been posting on my own MyO, or reading anyone else's for that matter. Sorry. So, anyway, yeah. I dunno where she left off or what the heck she was talking about before. Nor shall I go look. I'm lazy.

Oh, and Shinmaru, I have a quote for you that comes from Miss High and Mighty herself:

"Shinmaru doesn't deserve to win!"

Pretty brutal, eh? I told she was being cruel (and not only to you. Me as well) but she only laughed.

Meh...lemme think about what she's told me.

Uhhh, she's going to the mall tomorrow with Lauren.

Oh! She told this really funny story about when she went to McDonalds earlier!

She and Lauren walked in and Lauren had a 100 dollar bill, you know? And the cashier and the french fry dude gave them dirty looks and I guess they thought they robbed a bank or something. I wasn't paying too much attention to the conversation. And then Kayla had on that one hat that actually added to the suspicion. I guess.

Well, yeah. I'm a..bored with posting for her. Lazy, no good, son of a---never mind. -_- I'm still a little angry at her for the 'Into the Past' thing. She'll tell you whenever she gets around to it. -_- God I hate her. Why am I even doing this for her? Oh yeah *rolls her eyes* Evil mafian and her threats. *shouts numerous obcenities at Kayla*

.....
.........

..

Yeah.....
