what type of anime character are you? )

anime boobs! )

Damn, I haven't updated in 3 days. Is that long for me? It sure feels like it, especially given that my email boxes get steadily fuller with every day I neglect them. Of course they would, but I mean, in leaps and bounds! 93% today, and that was just the sailor_andromida one! ;_; DAMMMN.

I guess I'm a pretty surprising person. People find out pretty weird, off-the-wall shit about me every day. I mean... things people don't know about me come out or up one way or another, and people are just standing there with their mouths hanging open. I have a penchant for being pretty brutally honest, to the point of being tactless, but... I dunno, if the truth was just written on the walls, maybe it wouldn't be so hard to admit things, say things, do things. People would just run on impulse all the time, right?

It'd be so easy to write down all the things others would undoubtedly find "surprising" about me right here... so what's holding me back? Maybe respect, maybe self-consciousness... maybe even dignity or integrity? What do I have to be afraid of really-- but losing the respect of my friends, losing them AS friends. I rely WAAY too much on other people's opinions; I put so much stock in them it's scary, it's bad. I can't think for myself, I always have to ask if it's okay. It's not like me, not really.

Anyway.

Let's see... I think I'll LJ cut this. I'm warning you: SURPRISING content ensues. And it's probably better that girls read this than guys. But I'm not stopping you.

you were warned )

I didn't go to that job interview with Vector today. You know, the more I thought about it, the dumber it seemed. I didn't really do my research: I don't know what $15.75 base pay is, I don't know what the program entails... the place is hard to get to, and if I had something with them in the summer, I'd hate commuting every day. At least I'd like to be able to take only 1 or 2 busses, or maybe go to a place I can *stand* working at/near, like Serramonte. =P Or Stonestown! But Benji says that all the Hot Topic positions are filled, which sucks... it's so hard for me to get all my references together. I should just give up on writing those down-- I mean, does the weird stuff I did for Richters and the Department of Elections count anyway? But wouldn't it look better than nothing? And what do I do about personal references?

Let me rewind some. TGIF has a new meaning for me, I couldn't have been more excited for it to be Friday. Of course, I was dead tired and everything, and I only went to 4th period on, since Lonnie stayed over Thursday and we spent most of the morning just chilling and watching AMVs. =} I was supposed to spend the weekend at his house, actually, but that totally fell through, given that he NEVER called me back. I know he works late, but he's always saying he doesn't sleep and everything, and I know how loyal he is to his friends, but most of the time he seems out of touch with a lot of them. I hope he's okay...

Anyway, so I had my appointment to get my hair done at Lida's, but I arrived at 5:40 instead of at 6:30... so Mom had to call Lida from her cell and tell her to let me in. I didn't mean to be that early-- I left my house at 5:15, caught the bus a few minutes later, and amazingly, despite annoyingly thick traffic, I still got to Lida's on Taraval and 20th Ave. FAST! I'm kind of annoyed about that... trying to be late and being too early. Waiting in the cold is no fun. Lida finally came down and let me in- her dog, Leslie, barked at me so much I was very nearly terrified. I saw Nicki and Dillon, Lida's kids-- they're so BIG! I remember when Nicki was just a BABY, and now she's like... oh my gosh, maybe 6? She's started kindergarten. They're both cute, and subtle reminders of what part of having kids would be both fun and stressing as heck. Why in the seven hells am I thinking about that kind of thing though!?!??!

My sunburn isn't completely gone yet-- I'm still flaking like snow, which sucks. For some reason the skin on my arms peels much bigger than on my back or neck, so I'm shedding and leaving skin-chunks everywhere-- it's quite gross. I can apply the Aftersun to my arms and lower back fine enough, but I need serious assistance for my back and such. Thank god for good friends, who are willing to do such things when you feel like you're itching enough to bleed.

Okay, so I got my hair hacked (okay, layered) some, and it looks pretty nice right now. Kinda casual but retro. Jeremy noticed when he first saw me earlier today; he just said "something's different," and I told him it was my hair before he asked (in the joking stereotypical way) "have you lost weight?" (if i had, I'd be in trouble.) No bad comments thus far though. But my mom hasn't said ANYTHING... then again, I haven't seen her much lately. She's not home now; she's at Gary's and probably won't be home till after 2am. I should go to sleep while I have the chance, so she doesn't nag me about the dishes. But I haven't been home THAT much today... sleeping, resting, catching up, re-energizing, for the most part.

*snicker* A wonderful start to a weekend. Hopefully it just gets better, and I get all this finals and homework stuff out of the way NOW. I can even get a legit readmit for Friday 1-3, since my cramps were REALLY getting to me. They're pretty much gone now, and all I am is incredibly horny... =P which sucks, since here I am, listening to Angel Sanctuary and being all alone with my dork self. =P

Yeah, long story short: Met up with Will, Seigfred, and uhm... (who else was there?) at RTA; we left to go to 7-11. Got myself some cookies at Subway, because they're hella yummy... earlier I'd splurged and bought myself one of those sexy black and silver San Francisco shirts from "Hip Generation" at the pier. I actually ventured way inside this time, and I'm in love. I would be willing to spend the overpriced amount for the hot shirts I saw. *dr00ls* Anyway, Amber called at 7-11 and we arranged to meet up at the Met... yay! It was so nice seeing her after so long, but she's talking like she's really into the drinking scene now, which worries me. But I'm not to patronize or chastise, so...

They stayed over-- which was great, I love friends staying over. We didn't do much, since Amber was conked out on the couch (in her sleeping bag, hiding from the eventual daylight!) with her orange-flamey hair a stark contrast to my bland living room and the forest green sleeping bag. (Vivid, ain't I?) Will and I slept on the floor, and I should have put more blankets down, since it sorta hurt, and the crappy ass comforter I used slid around while we slept, so... RUG BURN! ;_; Muchos owies, especially to one like me with sunburn. All in all though, a good night. When we woke up much later, Will and I made French Toast, Amber showered... cleaned stuff up and arranged with Jeremy to see "Matrix Reloaded."

Amber didn't come to the movie for whatever reason... I hope she at least comes on Friday-- when Jeremy treats me to In-N-Out! Hah, it was part of the deal we made today at the Metreon; I gave him my final 2 stages on DDR Extreme (there's 5 stages now...) but he failed Legend of Max... still, the deal's still good. OH OH OH, and GUESS WHAT!?!?!?!?!? *ecstatic orgasmic happy* I finally Full Comboed BREAK DOWN! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Light mode, but all the same, it's sucha huge accomplishment to me. I probably wouldn't be able to do it at RTA though, since the pads there require you to sort of hop on the freezes... which I can't do without N.G.ing them, and I'm too lightweight otherwise. =P BUT YAY YAY YAY!

Okay, the movie. Uhm... you know, you really have to watch the first movie before you go see "Reloaded," because a lot of things won't make much sense. It's one of those trilogies that doesn't really have a separate storyline JUST for that movie, it's just a direct continuation of the last one. Lots of confusing-ness abounds:

spoilers! )

Let's see... got my yearbook signed by Benji, Fred, PsyJoe, Will, Jer, Amber, Aaron, Chris H., and... perhaps others. Makes me feel better that so much space is getting taken up this time, even if it's by people I either a) don't know that well or b) don't go to my school. Fred was insisting I don't read the entry he wrote; of course, I eventually did, and it was so cute and sweet... why was Fred so against me reading it, I don't know. =) Everyone's so thoughtful and nice. Haha, PsyJoe wrote, "Have a nice life." Well... better than "Have a nice summer" twenty million times over.

*yawn* I'm getting tired. Thank god the Lyric Wheel was postponed until the 7th.

Tomorrow: much work, more computer/online stuff, more FFIX... gah. Just more.
azurite: (perfect world)
I *finally* got my Windows XP theme to change... it's now a lovely purple theme called "Elusive." Gah, it was giving me so much trouble and everything, I was afraid my computer had gone screwy again! But it's all working, and as far as I know, so is the Avril Logon Screen I got... I think... >_> Maybe I should just switch back to Momo to be safe.

Anyway, so I've been on a writing/photoshop rampage the past several hours, making new LJ icons, working on the Star Ocean fanfic "Perfect World" ... I have some nice reviewers to thank for that. But I have to get myself back INTO SO2 by playing again, as FFIX has sort of been absorbing me. But Vivi's SO CUTE! ;_; How can I resist?? My mission for Fanime:
* Get TREASURE and SECOND TREASURE Star Ocean manga artbooks for cheaper than at Kinokuniya ($67)
* Get a Vivi plushie
* Get a Moogle plushie
So that's the plan.

Let's see... worked on PW, worked on the EAGLE ONLINE layout (the old layout was pretty damn cool looking, though I *did* base it off another school's layout. You know me with layouts, I have the creativity for content and images, but placement? Not my strong suit) some, and am checking my email. LOTS of new fics and reviews! WHEE! ^_^ I'm going to be here for a while, reading stuff...

So far have made three new LJ icons-- one of Rena, a photo of myself, and one of myself, sort of, in Chibi-anime form. Bonnie seems to think it's cool how I edited the original image-- which is an edit of a KiSS doll. @_@ Does changing colors and adding filters/effects really mean you're skilled? ^^;; I thought she was going to be mad at me for using someone else's artwork! Most of us here on LJ do, unless we take photos and use them.

I should really get a paid account at this point, since I'd like to make a layout once and for all, and get more icons. =P Mostly just the icons! Oh, and paid members have access to the 'directory' so you can search for other members. I think it is SO screwed up that free members can't do that! Geez, it's not even like it's so special that paid members should be able to do it. Layouts and extra icons I can understand; that means extra space on the LJ's server/bandwith. But honestly, using a silly search tool? =P

Gah, I've been neglecting my homework so much today. There's still that rotten POW, not to mention my Macbeth essay for my English final... the EAGLE ONLINE pages, which WILL take a while, especially since the real paper hasn't come out yet, and I have to download the *.pub file from my site (it's around 40MB in size!) ... AND I still have much to burn, copy, work on... ;_; I've been listening nonstop to the Utada Hikaru "Distance" CD for the whole day... since I got up and did most of the dishes at around 2:30. *coughcough*NO LIFE!*coughcough*

Going through some of my picture files, it occurs to me that some sections are overwhelmingly large, while others are so meager and sad... one of my summer missions will definitely be to get rid of all my "Non-Working Files," since restoring them from their corrupted SirCam state is pretty much hopeless. I can try to write down file names of images and such in the hopes that I can one day find them again... but a lot of things (HTML, TXT, and DOC files of fanfics, in particular) are lost for good. Same goes for MP3s... I rememeber I used to get a lot of them from the 'Anime Hoarde' sites, which are gone now, as far as I know... and there was that one HUGE archive of Ranma songs, but I don't think that's around anymore either. =P

Haha, I just found this one HORRIBLY wrong Star Ocean fanart image-- it's got Dias, Claude, Leon, Ashton, and Ernest-- only they're wearing some other girl's respective clothing! Haha... Dias is blushing in Celine's TINY getup, Claude looks embarassed in Rena's uniform, while Ashton is, of all things, POSING in Precis' outfit, Leon is being his cute self and posing too, while Ernest is looking away, and it appears he's smoking a cig. Haha, you just have to see it for yourself:

like, GRRL power!

Ahaha... *ahem* I guess that wouldn't make much sense if you never played SO2, now would it? But I think it's funny. Dias looks adorable.

Okay, so now I'm feeling all creative and excited, but my leg's going numb, and there's people that I wish I could be talking to right now, but they're not online or something... =P Yeah, "or something." I suck at talking to people I know. Haha.

And I'm acting weird now. Must have been something in the ravioli. Maybe I should go calm down and play FFIX now. @_@; Or something. Mmm, purple.
