   Bite me
Time: 5:15 a.m.

*Laughs* I went to Walmart the other day with my mom and found a Happy Bunny t-shirt themed out for Christmas. It was red and covered with snowflakes; the Bunny was wearing a Santa hat over one ear with these words at the top. I had to get it. Needless to say, my mom was not pleased. But oh well...

I think I'm starting to dislike Christmas, like a lot. I don't know. It just tends to make me more depressed every year. I mean, you got the crazed customers to deal with
--inside and outside of work--, there's never any close parking spaces at the mall; there's more out of state drivers who have no idea where they are going on the road; there's more 'homeless' people begging for money on street corners, the Salvation Army ringing their bells, who make me feel guilty that I can't spare any money, and who could forget the greedy customers, who are constantly trying to get discounts for every little thing with coupons that are weeks old or just plain making a fuss over how expensive a dvd or somthing costs. I'm just ready for this holiday to be over with...I'm not a kid anymore and I know the truth about Santa, so...The magic is gone from Christmas for me.

But I'm trying to make it a little better. Watching movies like Love Actually, National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, and The Christmas Story. I even baked cookies, especially for tonight, which is one of my favorite things to do. I even tried the cookie cutters I got from Walmart. I got Christmas ones, like snowflakes and gingerbread people and Christmas tree, but I couldn't resist getting Halloween ones too. :D However, there was a slight...mishap with the peanut butter cookies I tried making from scrath. Apparently, I put too much salt in them. Yeah, they were bad. One bite and all I could taste was the salt. I loved the look on my mom's face when she tried one...

So how is everyone? Is everyone out of school and enjoying your break I hope? I don't have any plans for today, except to appear at a family function for my mom's sake. She's been getting more depressed since my grandmother's death. I just don't know how to help her anymore. Except helping with chores, staying in school, and taking her out to do stuff...

I've got to cut myself off now. My meds are kicking in and I can barely keep my eyes open. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, and if you are traveling, please be safe. *Hugs*

Later,

Harley

Well, I wanted it to be Hagi, but they're both voiced by Crispin so...*Shrugs* I don't mind. I bet he's got a dark side... :D

   Getting Ready
Time: 5:49 p.m.

Okay, so my final math class is about to start in about 10 minutes, but since I had the opportunity, I wanted to give a quick update. I hadn't realized how long it had been since my last update.

This week has been a hard one for me. I just haven't felt like getting up out of bed and going to work, or doing anything really, except watch anime and read some new manga. Dramacon 3 has finally been released, so I swooped that up quick! And I found another new title to try called Love Attack-a love story about two bullies that fall in love...LOL What can I say? *Shrugs* At least, its not your usual high school romance, filled with lots of dark secrets and love triangles and crossdressing. At least, I hope it won't be...

Anyway, like I mentioned before (or hoped I did), Ran's coming into to town to visit again. And of course, I'm acting like it's our first meeting in person over again. *Heavy sigh* I've got such a long list of things to do before Saturday:
1) Figure out how to hide my bad haircut (Think Ruri from Angel Sanctuary--short hair going in all directions like hissing snakes.)
2) Clean my room
3) Bake cookies and cupcakes for him
4) Pack
5) Finish enrolling for school next year
6) Mop the kitchen
7) Clean my bathroom
8) Clean out my trunk of my car which is hiding everything I can't find a place for in my room or house
9) Go by bank to get money for my half of the hotel room
10) & hide the bad hair cut

OH Crap! It's time for class. I'll be in touch. You guys have a great weekend. Later!

   ZZZzzz...
I think the quiz below definitely sums up what I've been up to in the past few days. Sleeping, work, sleeping, studying, sleeping...I think you get the picture. ^_^

This weeks is the beginning of the end of the school semester for me. My accounting final is this week and my math final will be on the day before Ran leaves for Colorado again. Yep yep! He's coming to visit me again. And we've got some celebrating to do! But I dare not speak its name yet...*Laughs* I still can't believe it! Woot!

Won the lottery? A wedding proposal? A new car? My sister back in jail? A pug puppy?Hmmm...What can it be? LOL Just wait and see.

But for now, I won't say. But feel free to guess...Sorry...I'm bad, I know.

Right now, I'm slacking off in the computer lab. I was suppose to be taking my math test, but my instructor still has not opened the link back up for me to do. Or, maybe he won't. How fair is this?! Last Thursday, I sat in this same lab studying for like 3 hours for our test; only to find out that he had put it online for us to take. So while I could have been taking it, I was studying for a test that I wouldn't take that night. So what's the big deal, right? Just take it on Friday. Well, I couldn't. The only computers that can open the web site the test is on, is here in this lab. On Friday, I worked from open to close and would get here with only a hour and 15 minutes to do 50 problems. That's not a lot of time for someone like me. And on the weekends, the lab isn't open, so what am I suppose to do if the test is due Saturday night? Call out for work and lose my job? Yeah, right. It really ticks me off...I'll email him again about my circumstances and see what happens. :(

MyO's been acting up lately, so it's been hard getting around to everyone's sites. I hope everyone is doing well. I'm sure I'm not the only that's got school stuff to do, and looking forward to Christmas. I've already got Ran's and Char's gifts. And just have to worry about gifts for Ran's family. I still don't know them very well, so I'm not sure what to do this year. Hmmm...

Well, I need to get back to studying. Later!

It's pretty true. I'm a lot more bossy in my dreams. You do what I say or I'll beat you up! ^_^

   Wipe Out!
My real post is beneath this, but I had to post these! LOL

   Happy Turkey Day!
Right now, it's about 2:34 a.m. my time. And my meds have really kicked in (2 muscle relaxers and 4 headache pills), so it's hard keeping my eyes open right now. So, please excuse any misspellings or nonsense that you may come across in this post. I probably could wait till tomorrow to do this, but I have to get up early to go over to Char's house, which is not easy on me when I don't have to work.

Yep, I'm spending another Thanksgiving with her and her father's family. For those of you may not remember or don't know, this is the second time I'm doing this. Last year, my grandmother was recovering from her first stroke and my mom stayed pretty much by her side all day, every day, including Thanksgiving, and with my dad not around, I was going to be on my own that day till Char invited me over. Yes, she's a great best fried, which is why we've been friends since third grade. *Shrugs* If she can put up with my craziness and mood swings, then I am very lucky to still have her as a friend after such a long time. Recently, I received an email from my other best friend Holly, who's been MIA for a year now. She's coming in to visit and wants me to hang out with her...but I just don't know yet if I'll go. The last time was so awkward...

What else? Hmmm...

Since my grandmother's passing, my mother has been pretty depressed, so today, I thought I would take her out to eat and then, take her to Borders to pick out books, which she could pay for with a gift card I bought her last week. However, she had other plans and could only stay and eat. I'm worried about her, but I don't know what to do about it. Just help out when I can, I guess.

As for me, I haven't been up to much. I took my accounting test Tuesday night and aced it! Woot! Funny thing is: they shut the library down right when I was in the middle of the test and could not restart it or save it. My instructor, however, was nice about it and got me restarted on it after I found a Kinkos nearby. The only thing that sucks about this, is that I had to pay 24 dollars to take the stupid test. :< But at least I aced it, which is the important thing. :>

As for work, I'm finally getting settled in. If you don't know, I work as a cashier at Borders Books--the best place in the whole wide world. :> Even though I work mostly by myself, I'm getting better at talking to people, employees included. And in consequence, my sales have also improved. The average rate is 50%, but I'm now at 54% (55% being the best score). So, yea me! The only problem about this job is trying to sell sooooo many things to customers like our point card and gift cards, not to mention collecting donations for our company's annual charity. Which is HARD. Especially, if you are the only cashier and the customer has had to wait too long to get rung up. They're not going to be in the giving mood when they reach your register; they're ready to go. But I'm going to keep trying. I'm also taking full advantage of the employee check-out benefit. This allows me to check out any book we have and take it home with me. Right now, I've got Ranma 1/2 Volume 1 and the second volume to Time Guardian (another manga) checked out...If only they would have hired me sooner...*Groans* Just thinking of how much I spent on manga in the past few years makes me kind of upset...

I'm going to have to stop pretty soon. It's getting really hard to keep my eyes open. I'm sure I'll read this in posts, but I have to ask, "What's your plans for Thanksgiving?" Is anybody cooking? Luckily, I'm not. But I did bake an angel food cake tonight to take over to Char's. In the morning, I'm going to add whip cream topping and strawberries. I'm quite proud of myself for turning out such a good looking cake. I just wish I could post it for you guys to see. I guess you could say that I'm learning to cook backwards--starting last and working my way up to breakfast which should be no problem. Next month, I'm making all sorts of cookies to send to Ran and his family, like gingerbread men and ladies, snickerdoodles, and peanut chocolate swirlies.

Now, I will end with three questions for you guys:

1) Does anyone know how many episodes of Sailor Moon there are without Serena transforming into Sailor Moon? (A/N: This is all the fault of Ran's friend, who asked him before he asked me. Now I can't get it out of my head.)

2) I would like to add something to my posts like pics of the day, quizzes, and maybe even recipes. Could I get an opinion on this from some of you?

3) I know I said Howl's Moving Castle would be my next theme, but I can't get the backgrounds I choose to show up. Hence, my second choice Advent Children. If anyone knows what is going on, pleae PM me with the explaination. Thanks.

Be safe if you are traveling, and I hope everyone enjoys this turkey day. I know I will. :D

   It can't rain all the time.
While I was at work, I kept thinking about this place and how much I wanted to post. For the first time in a long time, I finally don't feel 'forced' to post. I just felt like posting and not worrying over what I would say or how boring some people may think the post may be.

Not much has changed really. I'm still stressed about a lot of things, still battling the depression, still trudging onward to school and work every day. But this morning, while I was trying to crawl out of bed and get ready for work at 5 a.m., I thought about this news story I saw on television the other day. It was about a teenager who killed herself over some horrible messages she was receiving through MySpace . Some people really just don't think about how their words may come off over the Internet or how mean a joke can be. And some of us, who are just too honest with others, need to get use to meeting people like this online, I guess.

I'm not going to get on a soap box and start to lecture on the etiquette of online communication, nor am I going to repeat the story of what's happened between me and a clique of girls here at MyO in the past year. I just think that today, I realized that I'm sick of carrying around the burden these girls put on me and my self-esteem. I don't need it, nor do I deserve it. So it's time for me to cut myself some slack. I deserve to be happy too. And I want to enjoy all the time I have with Ran in my life, without worrying about when it's going to end. Today's our 15th month anniversary, so I must be doing something right, right?! ^_^

I just hope this feeling will last till tomorrow. *Laughs*

Tomorrow, I'll have more of an actual post. Promise. Bye!

She's at the end of her rope...
Sorry, not feeling like posting much at the moment. This has been a pretty tough week for me, with tests and work. This pic pretty much sums up to how I'm feeling right now.




But Ran's been trying to cheer me up. I hope I can get my 'I Love You' banner back up--it got accidentally deleted when I was trying to switch wallpapers and started deleting some things. But right now, I just don't feel like doing anything but watching Transformers and reading a new manga called Rose Hip Zero. I hope it's good. It's a action manga, which is a bit different from the kinds of manga I read, though I do enjoy Naruto. I prefer titles like Fruits Basket, Marmalade Boy, Vampire Knights, Fool's Gold, Walking Butterfly, Translucent, Wallflower, and well, tons more. Ah, hell, I love them all! :D

Later.
