This is frustrating

I consider myself a font-anon. Or at least a font-o-phile. I like fonts. I like designing stuff-- webpages, images, banners, and the like. Cool fonts can turn an otherwise boring layout into something eye-catching and sprucey. The same goes to actual buildings-- why do you think the AMC movie theaters are so easy to spot? Or what about the Yerba Buena Gardens, with that fishtail font?

Okay, you can see where this is going. At Yerba Buena Gardens, everywhere they have a sign (to garage, or the like) they use this font that looks like a cross between fishtails and cursive. YM Magazine uses it too, and you can see exactly what I mean by going to their website. I asked people about it a while back, but my search went nowhere. Now that I've gotten the newest issue of YM, my search is renewed, and I HAVE TO FIND THAT FONT! I practically know what every letter looks like, but I don't have a name. I tried emailing YM some months (weeks?) ago, but got no reply.

Now, I know this font isn't licensed by YM, since I've seen so many other places use it. It's got to be Freeware, or at the least, Shareware. I know, I know, I'm a nut, but I'm begging for help here. PLEASE, if you can even provide me with a name for this font, I would be eternally obliged. I need someplace to start, and going letter-by-letter through every font site I know of isn't helping. I don't even know how to classify this font, either. Is it modern, is it handwriting? Is it like my mom said, and some kind of rip off that fish that religious people put on their cars? (I call it the Darwin Fish, because I happen to like the one with the legs better) HELP ME OUT HERE!

;_; Please?

In my journeys, I have come across many a strange device...

In looking for a font, I've come across all sorts of weird things, found all new frustrations (I'm a member of so many boards, with so many names, its ridiculous. I need to update my 'Member of' page so I can keep track) and have discovered plenty of strange sites.

Here's a freaky one you ought to try: The Flash Mind Reader. Someone said it was spooky until you figured it out. But... I've never been much good with the math, so if someone figures out how this works, do tell! Also, *giggles* all the symbols are wingdings Dingbats.

I'm going to head over to the Metreon soon, because people are telling me about some sort of LJ get-together/DDR tourney. Not that I can/want to participate, but since I didn't go to RTA last night (deterrents: rain, feeling ill, being lazy, being broke) I might as well see if I can spot some friends today. Besides that, TOMORROW IS AMBER'S BIRTHDAY! Admittedly, I already got her her present, but it'd be nice to actually wish someone her birthday when it's actually HER BIRTHDAY. -.-

Oh, and since my ATM card works now, I might just try and find that shoestore in the Mission (I refuse to go alone though) and buy those Converse I want! ^_^ It seems like the Mission is the last place to be able to find those things, as I couldn't find Converse All-Stars at Nordstrom's, Macy*s, OR Payless! Go figure.

AND AND AND... I have the coolest onee-chan EVER! I MEAN EVER! I had the coolest one in real life, but I have ONE KICK ASS ONEE-CHAN ONLINE! *insane giggling* Marianya of Illinois fame was the one that let me use a bucketload of webspace on her domain, rosedreams.org. It's made my life so much easier, since I don't have to worry about pop-up ads, not being able to use CGI or Java, or anything else like that. And now, she wants to give me the domain! I can change the name by the middle of this summer if I so desire, and it'll be mine for a year! ^_^ And the plans she's looking at are so cheap annually, even *I* can afford them! How cool is that!? Now all I gotta do is find that website that had those great ideas for naming websites and domains. *squiggle* GAAH, my Favorites are so disorganized...

Oh my gawd. I watched the end of Sailormoon yesterday. *breaks down into tears* WOW! I'm so glad I finally finished it. I'm pretty damn proud of myself too. I found it funny that when Seiya told Usagi, "I'll never forget you," Usagi responded with "I won't forget you either. We'll be friends forever!" and EVERYONE, even Mamoru, sweatdropped. And Mamoru wasn't there for the whole season, and HE knows Seiya loves Usagi! Well, to be honest, I don't think it's Usagi having a ditz moment, I think it's her trying to conceal embarassment for both her and Seiya. After all, she admitted she "really liked" Seiya, and if it hadn't been for him, she wouldn't have been able to defeat Galaxia. Not to mention the fact that when he told her he was in love with her, she was beet red. I'm pretty sure she understood THAT! Besides, she later asked Mamoru "how" he loved her... a question I think prompted by Seiya's words throughout the Stars season. *snicker* I just love to screw with the relationship! =D

Okay, going now. Must get dressed. *wanders off*
