Gmushpod!

No, the above title isn't gibberish--- well, it is, but it's a gibberish word I made up. You know me, I say weird things when I'm overly emotional, like after I've watched a sappy movie. <3_<3 Finally got around to watching "Sabrina" today, and hopefully I'll have time to follow it up (since I have to also go to J-town and Walgreen's, AND school, time is a constraint) with "Roman Holiday." I really love Audrey Hepburn, and I suppose I might make a layout using her too, since she's so simplistically beautiful.

Also thought about doing a Sailormoon fic to the "Sabrina" plotline, but a) it's probably been done before and b) it isn't very original, now is it? I've been trying to stray away from "copycat" fics-- but before you say it, NO, a doujinfic isn't the same. Why? Because I'm taking something AU and making it NON-AU. How in the heck does THAT copy off of someone else's *original* work? When you compare Clara's "School Daze" to my "Dream a Dream" the differences are apparent. =)

The oekaki board looks like it's thriving with a great variety of work, and since we all comment on everyone's stuff, it helps a lot. I'm learning to mess around with the various tools, but I still don't know how to work "Light" or "Dark." Hmm, new inspiration-- maybe I'll draw a Clow Card! =D

I want to watch "Anastasia" the animated feature, since I've been in a "Paris mood" since watching "Sabrina." Hey, didn't they remake that, with Harrison Ford? o_O I could be mistaken. But the next time I go to Blockbuster, I'm getting the Terminator 2 special edition, and I'll check out the other "Sabrina." =)

Okay, the REAL total waste of 4 minutes and 2 seconds is this "anime" Music Video set to Evanescence's "Bring Me To Life." Great song, as you probably have figured by the number of times you see it on my playlist. But someone combined ALL their obsessions-- anime and otherwise-- and put it to this song, without really having a concept or theme. I mean, Star Wars, Episode 1, Star Wars the cartoon, Cowboy Bebop, Dragonball Z, and lord knows what else. What a waste of download time! *gag gag gag* So gross.

Finally fixed my subprofile, so you people can stop complaining about it being so out-dated. =P Added a fanfiction section, but there's not much there that people don't already know about. *yawn* Worked a little on PSV and sent Chibi some new blanks of Book 1, Volume 1. Wonder what I should make for "dinner." I was considering pancakes. Hehe. Yeah, so to keep myself occupied and "genki" this week, I think I'll keep looking for jobs (ResultAbout already rejected me, but whoohoo, it's not like I really wanted that job anyway) and work on webpages and the like. Gotta clean out the computer of all those dead files, and make a to-do list of what I need to do.

( i am a geek. )

I really should clean my room-- I'm tempted to redecorate it. I mean, Crystal's room was so... organized! I should have expected it from her though, she kinda strikes me as a perfectionist. Moreso than I am, since I'm a "written" perfectionist, and not a literal one. You know, I'm not the type to go screaming if the dishes go undone, or if there's a dust bunny on the floor.

*wanders off to do oekaki* Be back in a bit.

Blah, okay, so that wasn't all that good. After reading the Reader's Digest of "The World's Best Fairy Tales," and the original little mermaid, I was inspired to try drawing one. =P She didn't turn out so nice, but maybe when my mouse isn't being such a #&^$% and I'm more inspired (and not HUNGRY!) I'll be able to try again.

Let's see... Taz had been giving me some tips and stuff on getting and dealing with jobs-- I'm hoping I score a docent position or the HR Assistant at the Exploratorium, since a) the Exploratorium is cool and b) it pays a LOT! But I have until the 18th with the Assistant job, so I'll apply for that... tomorrow. ^^; I hope Mom remembers to give me money to pick up my photos, get food, and maybe have $6 left for manga at J-town! PG #16 whoo-hoo!

Blah, this why Mer needs a job, looksee:
* Buy manga, artbooks, anime *priority: 10*
* Redecorate/clean room *priority: 4*
* Upgrade compie/get new software *priority: 6*
* Have cash on hand to get things like photos, prescriptions, food, etc. *priority: 1*

SEE!? ;_; Everything in this world requires money. It sucks. I like the Star Trek universe, when they don't use money, they barter! It was smart back in the old days, and it's smart now!

*yawn* Headache, dizziness, and... ow. Just ow. I think I need to eat now.

JUNK, JUNK, JUNK!

Couldn't think of a better title. Creative juices have ebbed out the building. >_>

So sick of not getting mail. "No news is good news," they say, but I'm a journalist, I don't like it when there's no news, it makes me uneasy! And "something is always better than nothing!" In most cases, anyway... I did mean SNAIL MAIL though, and not E-MAIL. I always get *too much* junk mail. True, most of what I get I subscribe for, but still, in the Bulk folder, it's GARBAGE! I have to check my email everyday just to prevent it from overflowing! My inbox is like my virtual bedroom... leave it alone for too long and it explodes...

Hopefully Mom will pick up my photos from Walgreen's today, 'cause she could only give me $5 for dinner tonight, and even eating waffles for "breakfast" now, I'm not all that hungry. =P But who can blame me-- last night I decided I was hungry and went to make pancakes. At 2am. =) Nice big batch, too, plain ones, ones with bananas, ones with cinnamon-sugar, and ones with bananas, walnuts, AND cinnamon-sugar! =P But as usual, I couldn't finish my whole plate, even though they were really yummy. I'd parked myself in front of the TV and watched "Roman Holiday" and "Anastasia." *mush!* I love Anastasia! Next time I go to a formal event, I'm designing my own dress based off of one of Anya's! =D

Hmm... need to organize all my YM magazines and put them into a sliced cereal box or somesuch, I really am on an organizational trip lately. =P Blah, and I have 6 minutes before I have to leave to get to class. This is ridiculous, having to leave at 4:30 when my class doesn't start till 6. And hour and a half just to get a few miles southeast of here! FEH!

Yay! 'Ropa gave me the link to this HUUUUUGE Improv Encyclopedia. Hehe, it's called "HumanPingPongBall.com" My sister would have loved that. *sigh* I'm setting myself up for depression, I know it... but... =P I miss her.

Anyway, trying to stay genki here... did a tarot spread on the compie a little while ago. It's spooky. I mean, most people know I'm Wiccan and therefore have some sort of tap with the mystical things-- but Tarot has always had a weird affinity for me. Back at the Playathon, after a long while of not doing ANY spreads, I did two-- and both people said I got them DEAD ON. I've always had a Hitomi-complex (Escaflowne reference ^^) about doing my own spread, but once I was in dire straits and did it-- and got good advice. Have been pretty confused lately about lots of stuff, and did a spread... and it was scary how it made sense of the situation. Advice is pretty weird though. I guess it's all in how you interpret it? Still... spooky.

I better get going. =D Whee, Pirates of the Caribbean on Wedesday. *frown* I have to tell Bonnie that I most likely won't be on when I said I would, to work on "Golden Apple." Blah.

Well, here's a nice feeling

Hmm, decided to pick up my Wicca book today and get back to studying some. I like the feeling I get when I'm in tune with myself, nature and the Big Whosits up there. (^^; eh...). Besides, around this time of the year, it's good for me to feel positive about something, or I might become Miss Depresso once more. And no one would like her very much. She's MEAN.

Anyway, thinking about religion and such has got me wondering things. Still, not for the faint of heart, so I kindly put it behind a LJ-cut. You have thus been forewarned, and while I welcome opinions from people of all walks, DO NOT FLAME ME, or I will barbeque YOU. =)

( happy hypotheses )

Ah, made a quesedilla (sp?). Yummy stuff, even though it's simple.

I think I'll update Snapshot again soon, since I got the photos from Fanime. Plus there's still two other discs to add to SS, Prom Pics, and Graduation Pics. =D New layout? Hehe, I have too many ideas for layouts lately.

Huh, what else? I'm working on Dream a Dream 4 now. =D Better get back to that, and downloading all my music, of course! Anastasia soundtrack, here I come!
