My thumb doesn't bend that way

azuriteDamn, programming my phone book into my new phone is a pain. Why can't that kind of thing be importable/exportable/whatever it is? >_< Damn. But hey, there appear to be a lot of numbers wasting precious space in my phone book. Numbers like... gee: Lonnie, some of Mom's friends (gag, I do *not* want Gary's number in my PB), people from HS who never talk to me anymore (Cassie, Gina R., Larisa, Kripa), my hairstylist (gah, must get hair done before I go!), and assorted other people who rarely call me anyway.
Speaking of People Who I Rarely Hear From, the Mai from Fanimecon actually left me a review in one of my fanfics! @_O That's kind of surprising... I can't remember if I gave her the FFnet email or my standard one. In any case, it's pretty cool, and I ought to reply to her somehow... I wonder if she actually read the fic, though? ^^; What's more, I wonder if she's really as old as I thought she was at Fanime (the other girls said something like 20). But 1) she didn't look it and 2) she didn't act it. But what do I know-- I'm a hopelessly bad judge of things like age...\
Fic ideas as of late? A Yuugi oneshot songfic to Vertical Horizon's "Everything You Want." I have a feeling it's been done before, but the style I have in mind is a bit strange, and might be somewhat original. Still, I have so much else to do online and offline, so new fics are far from being a priority. There is, of course, a whole plethora of juicy fics waiting to be written based on the current dub arc (Yugi vs. Kaiba and thereafter). The whole idea of Evil!Téa just appeals to me (and I'm also a sucker for Reincarnation Fics, as I'm sure you all know by now).
Hey, did I mention I think the "Original CG" from the DDR Project 3 (4th mix)'s "Dream a Dream" is actually supposed to be Sandman and... I don't know, some sort of doll flunky? It really looks like Sandman. Or some character from the comic.
Online/Computer To-Do List:
* Finish tweaking the Mamo Day 2003 Awards and finally post them
* Make a layout based on said awards, because they rock that hard. Plus it'll save me the trouble of doing layouts later in the year, when I have school.
* Make the templates for the Usa Day 2004 Awards-- scan the source material, decide on a design scheme, and make the PSDs.
* Set up the polls for the Usa Day 2004 Awards-- go through the archives to make sure I'm not forgetting any entries
* Work on WDKY and/or The Rose Chronicles
* Catch up on people's LJs
* Start burning CDs-- Music first, then the other stuff. Make sure to keep backups of fanfiction-related stuff on the HD. Does anyone know of a program that browses a folder and then lists the contents in a printable format? I want to do this for my MP3s, so if I lose any, I know what to download again.
Offline/Non-Comp To-Do List
* Finish sorting through pack-able stuff in my room
* Get more boxes
* Do laundry
* Pack rollerblades, clothes, cosmetics/accessories, manga/anime collection, PS2, and any other weird stuff I might be forgetting
* Get fixed jewelry (choker, necklaces, watches) together. MUST HAVE WATCH!!!
* Call Baba and Grandpa-- do they have a VCR after all???
* Return the Library Books
Speaking of Library Books, I finished "Lady Robyn" earlier today. And I spotted no less than 3 spelling and grammar errors. >_O This got me thinking "Maybe I should be an editor!" but that might be a bit crazy... I mean, I can hardly keep my own tense perfect, let alone tell the difference between active and passive voice... blah, blah. I'll stick to beta'ing fanfiction and Role Playing for now. The thing about LR that bugs me MOST though is that it's part of a trilogy-- I didn't read the first book "Knight Errant," and I really should, just because so much of LR doesn't make much sense without it. That's rather bad, for a trilogy, isn't it? And since it came out fairly recently (2003), I doubt the next segment is out yet... which annoys me SO much, since it left off on a cliffhanger.
AAAAAAAAND speaking of cliffhangers, I'm thinking of establishing a clan of elite Yu-Gi-Oh fanfiction writers. The "Evil Mad Scientists" of the Yu-Gi-Oh fandom, shall we say? If I used that term though, I'd have to ask Meredith Bronwen Mallory, since she is the definitive Evil Mad Scientist-- of the Sailor Moon fandom, anyway. But with all those kids of hers, I'm not sure even a Demando ransom would bring her out...
What else am I forgetting now?

Wow, a psychological quiz on Quizilla. Damn. (Does anyone know what the ORANGE font is? I know I've seen that before!!)
