4 More Days Now
Well, today was rather tiring. Tis not like I did anything that required much physical strength, but it still sapped all of my energy. I just wasn't at home for most of the day, and that can be tiring, I suppose.

First, I went to church. Eh, nothing new there. We sang songs, we listened to the pastor, we left. I guess that pretty much sums it up. I was already pretty tired when we got there, too. Being a teenager and all... that happens.
Then, after church, my family (and I of course) went out for lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant. Twas good, tis always good.
And, right after lunch, Robin and I were dropped off at a friends' house, so they would drive us to this book sale.
Before we left, however, our friends had to eat lunch, and they wouldn't even be going to the sale. Their parents were going to drive us over there.
Well, while we waited, Robin talked to our two friends, Laurel and Michelle. And, they pretty much just talked about her trip to Linfield College. I didn't say much, and they didn't ask much of me. That's just how it always is, but I notice it, and it gets annoying after so long. I mean, I'm here too ya know. I have a life as well!
*sighs* Anyway, after all that annoying-ness, we left for the sale thingy, and it was around 2:10 PM by this time , and the sale would end at 4:00. AND! We had to travel quite a-ways before we got there. So, we ended up having one hour there.

Now, I hadn't really, REALLY wanted to go, but it was a way to escape my brothers for awhile, so I went. My mom gave me $7, in case I found something I liked. See, the books at this sale are only 50 cents to $1, really. Very cheap. I didn't think I'd find anything I wanted, but I ended up buying 8 books. A couple of them were for my parents; a book of David Letterman's "Top Ten" bits for my dad, and "The Dictionary according to Mommy" for my mom, obviously. Then, I got myself a couple of books about Chinese people. One of them is a novel, and another one is a biography of someone, I think. Both of those books were written by the same author, so I decided, "Hey, why not buy 'em?"
Heh, and there's one last book I feel like mentioning... actually, it's a manga that's still in Japanese. Hee, twas a good find. I hope to someday read that book, after I've taken enough Japanese lessons.

Well, after we all bought are books and got home, it was around 5:00 PM, and I was pretty tired out. Like I said, didn't do much physical stuff, but still... by then, I had been away from home for seven hours, and had only been home for one, really. So, yeah... I was ready to just do nothing.

Also, by the time Robin and I got home, Dad had started setting up the computer in our living room. In fact, I'm using the 'puter in here (the living room) right now. ("Right now" being 9:41 PM, Pacific time.) Tis cool. Like I said, this way I'll be able to be on longer and later.

I changed my theme, to Legend of Zelda obviously. And I also changed the midi to better match the background image. Tell me what you think (BE HONEST!). ^_^
Again, I'm having problems on deciding what color font I want. I'll probably end up keeping white. *rolls eyes* Oh well...

That's it. Bye-bye now.

5 More, Getting Closer And Closer
Whelp... my wallpaper's have received 5000 downloads now. ^^ Hee, me so happy! I can even forget about Eric's laziness! Tis very cool, I was not expecting it to reach 5000 today.

Well, apparently, instead of celebrating my birthday on Thursday, the actual day of my birthday, my family has decided to celebrate a day early. Ya wanna know why? Because on Thursday nights, my brother Kyle has to go to his karate class.
... I really can't say if I'm okay with this or not... I guess I should be happy that I'll be opening my presents a day early, but... oh well. *sighs*

At least I was able to find the CD I wanted today. There's this one song, that I really like, and yesterday I finally found out who performs the song. "Look What You've Done" by Jet. YES! Of course, I bought the CD today, along with "Secondhand Lions". I like that movie, it's cool.
Also got some more origami paper. It's been awhile since I've made anything, and I didn't think I'd remember how to make a crane, but I did. Heh, someday I hope to make 1000 cranes, just like the girl, Sadako. ^_^

Eh, I would be more descriptive about what happened today, but my parents want me to get off so they can move the computer. They're moving it out of their room and into the living room. Which means, I can be on longer AND later at night! A very good thing, indeed. Now, I can take the time to make better wallpapers! Good, 'cause I've had this one idea for a Kurogane wallpaper for awhile, but it would take some time to make, and time is something I don't have.

But NOW! No longer! Haha!! *Final Fantasy victory music plays*

That's all for now, lovelies. Ta!

6 Days Now... Hey, I'll Count If I Want To!
There! Instead of sticking by what I said in my last post, I'm gonna continue to count! *nods* lol

Well, today my older brother Kyle went to Costco for my mom, since he just got his driver's license. When he got home, Robin and I had to help him carry in all the stuff. And trust me, there was a lot. There's six members in my family, four of them teenagers. Yeah, we eat a LOT of food!
Anyway, while we were helping him bring in food, my other brother, Eric (who's older than Kyle, by the way) was still asleep, and it was around 1-1:30 PM by that time. He didn't even help at all... we did everything.
AND! At least half of the eggs broke, and left a lot of egg mess for me to clean up. Don't know why I was the only one cleaning it, but I just was. The egg goo had dripped all over the place, and there was an especially large puddle of it by the garage door. I only hope that the floor and carpets aren't going to be sticky because of that. I only used some paper towels to clean it, after all...

Well, by this time the three of us (Kyle, Ducky [older sister], and myself) started to put things away, and Eric was still asleep in bed, or at least I think he was. Once everything was put away, Eric then decided to show his face upstairs! Gee, isn't he nice? I couldn't help but say, "Thanks for helping, Eric."

My gosh, he is so lazy! I can't help but keep calling him a "lazy ass." I know I shouldn't, and I'm trying to stop with that, but it's true in my honest opinion. If you'll recall, he has the easiest job in the house, yet doesn't do it often enough; he sleeps in uber late, then plays video games all day; he'll eat a whole bag of chips and/or a whole box of cereal in one day... you get the gist of it. And he isn't in college right now, AND he doesn't have a job!

YET! Ohhh, my mom won't let him go on for long without one! My dad still has to tell him exactly how he's to go about getting a job, but STILL! Eric doesn't even seem like he's trying at all! It's pissing me off!

And... I really just needed to rant about that. I'm done with this particular subject, though.

I submitted two wallpapers today, both are Cardcaptor Sakura ones. They're not too fancy; in fact, they're very simple. But, I don't think they look bad.
Plus, I wanted to submit something today since I hadn't submitted any yesterday. Heh, I didn't have time to make anything, because I was looking for some Legend of Zelda pictures. That's going to be my next theme, and I think I have all the pictures I need now. So, I'll most likely change my theme sometime next week.

And... I believe that is all. I feel like I'm missing something, but... whatever. For now, ta ta!

Only One Week Left Now!
Okay, I promise that from now on, I'll stop saying how many days left til my birthday on here. Mentally, I'll still be keeping track of it, of course. Heheh...

You know that Fullmetal Alchemist wallpaper I submitted? Well, it's gotten 90 downloads in 1 and 1/2 days! Which is great! I think it'll continue to get more and more downloads, especially since FMA is pretty popular. Heh, soon, it's going to become my most popular wallpaper, replacing that CCS one! Cool!

And... that's all. XD An extremely short post, indeed.

9 More... So Close!
Oh my gosh... I am starving! Aiyah! I need to eat something, anything! >.< Holy cow! I swear, as soon as I finish writing this post, I'm gonna go get something...

Anyway, ya know that whole standardized test thing that I posted about yesterday? Well, the whole thing has been resolved. My mom showed me my results, and they were much better than I thought. They were between a high school senior's and a college senior's level. Which is really good!
See, all that trouble over nothing! Yesterday, I was very grumpy (partly because of the tests, admittedly). So, my sister told my mom that I wanted to see my test results, and I guess they ended up discussing what happened last night, 'cause Ducky felt like Mom was blaming her, saying it was her fault I got so... angry/sad.
Which it wasn't! When I heard Ducky say that I got "average, above-average", I assumed that she meant between 10th and 11th grades (I'm in 10th right now). So, it was more my fault than hers.
I'm just glad this is all over with now. ^_^ I'm feeling much better than I was yesterday. I couldn't even concentrate on making any wallpapers, my mind wouldn't focus on it. Well, I've made a very cool Ed (from FMA) wallpaper today, so feel free to check it out (as soon as I submit it, anyway >.>).

I don't think I was crying that one night just because of the test thing. There was probably more to it, but I'd rather not get into that now.

I hope you're all well. ^^ And thanks so much for being here for me. I greatly appreciate it!

10 More... Come On Abby, You Can Make It!
I have a question for some of you. Do any of you remember my post, awhile back, about having to re-do the standardized tests? (If you don't remember, maybe you should go back and re-read it... or whatever.)
Well, our test results came back apparently. I haven't seen them myself, but Ducky has. She was talking about what she got on some of the subjects last night. She didn't do very well at all in Math (she's up to an eight grader's level, and she's in 11th grade). But, in reading and writing comprehension (and all that kind of stuff), she's the equivalent of a college graduate.
... That's amazing. I'm really proud of her. Just imagine what she'll be capable of AFTER she goes to college! She'll be a great author someday, I just know it.
Anyway, after she told me that, I asked, "Well, what did I get?" She replied, "Oh, between average and above-average." Now, I should be happy with that. After all, that means I'm not an idiot (contrary to popular belief). But, I couldn't be... not then, anyway. Ducky had just said that she had gotten a great score on reading and writing, and I got "average"... I don't want to be average! I want to be something special. Not just "between average and above-average". I want to be a definite "above-average", at least!
Well, anyway... Ducky tried to console me by saying that my scores were still good, but I couldn't be happy. So I just left the room (we were both in my room at the time). All of a sudden, I just felt... unhappy. Not satisfied... even a little depressed. I wandered around in the kitchen awhile, just thinking about it. I do this quite often. I try to console myself, in a way, using common sense, but it doesn't work most of the time.
I kept telling myself that I should be happy for Ducky, and I should be satisfied with what I got. But, I can't be... Ducky has obvious skills, they were shown in her test scores. Me? I have nothing spectacular. I'm just... average. I hate that word. I try my best NOT to be average! I want to be something special, not just another face in the crowd, as it were.
After a bit of time passed, Ducky came out and tried to cheer me up by saying, "You got an above-average score on history." And other such things. Bless her heart, she tries to help me...
This is what I said (pretty much), "But it's not a college graduate's level, now is it?" When I said that, I started to cry... AGAIN! I'm so sick of crying, over what seems like the stupidest things. Something must be wrong with me. Why am I suddenly so depressed? Why can't I just be happy with what I have?
After I started crying, Ducky tried to make me feel better, again. But, to no use. She said something like, "If it's something I said, I'm sorry." My reply was, "Don't be sorry, it's not you. It was just bad timing." And, after that, she left me alone. I didn't cry long (thank goodness!), but it still happened. I really wish it hadn't. I hate it, so much.

I may appear happy on here most of the time, and I may seem happy to my friends, but I'm really not. At least not right now.
I heard once that the funniest comedians (such as Jim Carey and Robin Williams) are actually very sad people, and have had much grief in their lives.

Hmm... my jokes have been getting better lately...

*dances*

11 Days, Just 11 More!
^_^ Hee, my new theme is up! YAY! Tis Tsubasa again, I know... I can't help it! I really like the art, tis so pretty!
Oh, and thanks Winged Youki, for helping me with my site. ^^ You're so nice, I love ya lots! *hugs*
Unfortunately, I can't decide on what text color I want. White is the easiest one to read, so... for now, it stays. I also changed my midi song to the End Credits from Legend of Zelda:Ocarina of Time. ^_^ Such a nice song. Anyway, tell me what you think, and be honest please!

My site reached 400 visits today. Hee, cool! I think people are starting to notice all my Tsubasa wallpapers, so they also end up checking out my site. Which is very good! I want to be known for my Tsubasa wallpapers. That would be very good indeed.
Speaking of wallpapers, I submitted an especially cool one today, in my opinion. Got it from my fave Tsubasa website. (Just ask if you want the link. They have a lot of pics, but it takes awhile for 'em to load.)

Hmm... what else? I know there's something I haven't mentioned yet...

Oh yeah! Just remembered! My sister and my mom got back from Oregon yesterday (from that college open house, you remember, right?). Anyway, I think I mentioned it already, but they stayed at my Aunt and Uncle's house while they were down there. The reason why I'm telling you about this is... well, something happened, that my sister told me about, that I want to mention.
Apparently, my sister (Ducky) made some sort of comment about Christianity or politics, I dunno... and, my Aunt said something about how much Bush sucks. So, I learned yesterday that my Aunt is a liberal. Also, I don't even know if she's Christian!
(Btw, before I go on, I am Christan. I've grown up in a Christian family my whole life. Just thought I should say that.)
I guess when you've grown up with a certain religion in your family, you just assume that your relatives are of that religion as well. I suppose that's why I was so surprised that my Aunt and Uncle are most likely not Christian. Again, it's not really confirmed, but still...

Well, that subject is done now. But, please don't comment and say, "I agree with your Aunt, Bush does suck!" I know you're entitled to your own opinion, but I hate that sort of stuff. Political and religious "debates" annoy me, a lot. I don't like participating in them, let alone starting them. Because, no matter what, you'll never really convince the other side that you're right. It's more like fighting to me than "debating."

Again, please don't start some sort of Bush-hate thing in here. I really don't want that either.

Thank you.

Well, I think that's pretty much it. Not much else to say...

Hope you're all well!

Now It's 13 Days Til My B-day, And Counting!
Heh, I've reached 4000 downloads now on my wallpapers! Thanks to all who've... well, downloaded 'em. lol
I thought it quite interesting that most of my Tsubasa wallpapers have over 20 downloads. Which IS a good thing. I'm glad they're so popular. Not only do I enjoy making Tsubasa wallpapers, but people will download 'em too! You can't ask for anything better! XD

Still haven't decided what theme I want to do next. I could do one of Lacus, 'cause I really like her... or, I could even do Dearka! ^_^ Hee, I like him, he's cool!
Anyway, I'll probably think of something soon. Kurogane is also an idea I have...

I've finally started my report today! Oy... if any of you have read my earlier posts, you'll know what I'm talking about. I should've finished this at least a month ago, but no! I'm just now starting it!
Well, at least it only needs to be seven pages. It'll end up being longer than that, but still. Plus, we're double-spacing it, so that helps too.
But, right now, I need a break from writing it. That's why I'm on right now. Just can't write anymore for the moment, maybe not even today. Heck, I already got four pages down in an hour and a half! That's pretty good, right?
... I hope that's good. *sighs*

At least I can look forward to some Man Se chicken katsu tonight! Mmm, mmm, good! That it is.

That's all I wanted to say, really. Pretty short post...
Take care!

14 Days, And Counting
Btw, much thanks to Winged Youki for the lovely card. ^_^ I liked it, very much so.

Well, I'm now the only female in the house. Ducky and my mom left for this college's open house early this morning, and they'll be gone for a couple days.
Which means... we're gonna have to cook our own food! *gasp* The horror!
And, when I say "we", I mean my brothers, Kyle and Eric, my dad, and myself. Heh, we'll probably end up going out to our favorite teriyaki place tomorrow. Ahhh... chicken katsu, here I come!

Oh, and I have a little request... could someone please help me with my site's theme? I want to change it, but I need a good picture first, and... I'd just like some help. You can PM me, if you want to...

Man, I'm running out of ideas for Tsubasa wallpapers. Just today, I submitted a very bad one. Bad in my opinion. I don't even know why I submitted it at all! *sighs* I need to go hunting for new and/or bigger pics... 'cause, what I have now just ain't enough.

I guess that's it... a very short updated, not much to talk about...
So, have a great day, everyone.

~God Bless~
