Hmm...

Catching up on old entries. Whee, Jeremy's finally "alive" in the LJ sense. 'Bout time, man! Yeesh. Oh wait, he's not reading this... I dun think I'm on his friends list. =P

I haven't oekaki'd in a while, and to be honest, I'm not in the mood.

I'm somewhat tempted to write some of the things from the "Secret Life of Guys" here, and see how accurate it is. After all, there's a lot of guys here. Hi guys. =)

Lots of layout ideas, though. Let's see if I can remember them all:
-Chicago style/ladies behind bars (red/black)
-Audrey Hepburn (simple white/black/gray-blue)
-TX/Search and Destroy (maroon/light green/black)
-Radialblur* (blue/white/black)
-Pocky** (depends on the flavor; likely pink/beige/white or brown/white)

* Need a better name, obviously. It's the name of the filter in Photoshop. Did it once, loved the end result. =D Uberthanks to Helen for pointing me to the site... *browses Bookmarks* Which one was it again? The trendwhore one?

** Also needs a better name. Depends on the flavor, really.

Have a bunch of partial-layouts for most of my sites, which sucks... especially that killer one I had of Saturn/Hotaru in a kimono for MS. I made the banner a long time ago, but couldn't make a coordinating layout with background, button, etc. since I forgot how I did the rings in the background of the banner, and didn't save layers. =P I could always go on a clicking-spree and accidentally do it again?



Joined GAIA, this online RPG community. Looks interesting enough, and my avatar character is pretty cute-- or will be once I get her some CLOTHES! Yeesh. But I could always edit her and make her into a new LJ icon. The thought makes me want to work on Every Heart though, and get all my LJ icons up at one place.

Hope the Exploratorium gets back to me this week. I can't take Joemi's advice and call them; they said not to. Matter of fact, lots of businesses do. -.-;

Fuh. No one ever tells me about get-togethers anymore, I feel kinda lonely. They talk about it like I'm not even there. But what do I care, huh? -.- Not a bit. *liar!*

I am still so pissed off at the quote on the back of the Battle Royale manga, saying that Sailor Moon is silly. Asshole never watched the original versioN! *hiss!* It just makes me so mad. For the record though, Shuuya's hot. XD I hope he lives!

( i can't believe i'm succumbing to this madness... )

Wanna see "How to Deal" soon. Can't win the book from Book Divas though, since the email is old... I would have had to see it *this* weekend. Blargh. I'm never as active on forums as I should be (should? Why should?) ... not my thing, I guess. At least Dustin's not annoying me anymore to join his forums. How many times to I have to tell the kid, I don't know everything about HTML or whatever, and I sure as heck am not into b-boying! -.-; Whatever...

I think I wanna work on Chapter 5 of DD. ^^ But I'm kinda hungry, in that sick sort of way.

A Travesty Against Videokind

Someone help me, please. I don't have Casablanca. I'm ashamed! I should have it, not just because it's a classic, and I'm a sap that should be able to say "I've seen it two million and thirty six times" but... come on! ;_; I need it! I wonder how much Blockbuster charges for a 1 hour late DVD... cuz maybe I could rent it from there. Maybe.

Hmm, came online after Jonathan left (all I'm gonna say to that: ^_^v) and checked my azurite_moon email. Bah, only 4 real emails! How sad, I thought, nobody really reviewed the newest chapter of DD. I'm tempted to hold off on posting Part 5 (which is nearly completed) until I hear more from people, see if they're still reading. But that's silly-- I'd be a total hypocrite, cuz I post because I want to, not because of reviews! =P I made the dumb mistake of doing that with "Brand New Day," and now I really want to work on it again! But I have to finish what I start, or at least get halfway there-- DD will be up to Part 8 before I switch fandoms as of yet.

Which is why I feel so regretful replying to this email:
( the best email review. EVER. )

Best email review. EVER. I am so flattered, I hope I just find the right words to say to her! I really want to work on PW again too-- ~_~ I forgot where I left off, though, so that's something to review tonight once I'm finished with DD5. Finally getting the North City Secret files, along with the strange Master Chef battle with Puffy has inspired me to get back into the SO2 world-- once I get enough money, I'm buying the rest of the manga!

( grace: kittens )

-.-; Mom finally comes home today, and decides NOW to bother me about the stupid copies of the Anaheim pictures. I tried to cancel the one we placed online (it was all a big mixup, that ended up with the C.O.D being cheaper) but I couldn't. So we're stuck with two of the same picture -exactly the same- and we paid something like $60 for the both of them. And she says that with the money she owes in credit card debt, she could buy a nice luxury car. -.- She's told me this before, so I'm not surprised, but I told her flat out (and this is the truth) that I'm not (and I can't be!) responsible for that much debt. She always brings up Fanime and school trips (i.e. Anaheim) as major expenses... true, Mom did pay something like $250 for Anaheim, but it could have been worse-- I did raise a lot of money doing stupid school fundraisers! That's a lot harder than it sounds! And I *tried* to pay her for the Fanime room, but she wouldn't let me, saying it'd been a birthday present, or graduation present or something. She loves to guilt trip me. There's just no family here anymore. *sigh*

Okay, solved the mystery of Puffy in the Master Chef competition. She appears every once in a while, but you don't get anything special if you beat her. Lots of tips and tricks to beating the competition-- Level 10 cooks with Sense of Taste, Berets and All-Purpose Knifes equipped, and dropping pressure by going to the center and getting food. Avoid Ganze Sea Urchins, as they raise pressure dramatically when you fail, but when you succeed, they're well worth it. Rare ingredients are harder to cook with, but raise HP/MP more than common ingredients. The points you get are a equivalent to the % of HP or MP raised by the food-- normal items have a max of 65, while rare items can get up to 100. So the more rare items you make, the better. Some of the rare items sound pretty yummy too, like the Gateau Marjoliane (sp?). It's some kind of cake.

Oh, yes: Take my Quiz on QuizYourFriends.com!

*tee hee hee*

Oh, you know what? I've been wanting to get into Palmistry lately. I've already got a good deal of astrology and tarot down pat, and while I could expand on those (get myself a moon calendar!) I think I want to have more of a variety, you know? Heh, and if I don't get a real job, I'll run away to the circus and become some sort of spooky fortune teller. =P

I've decided to get playing SO1 for my emulator. It's been too long since I had an obsessively good time on my emulator. =)

Still working on DD5, coming up with important scenes for later on. I guess it should be posted soon.
