For some reason I don't feel like typing too much. Recap of the today and yesterday:
-Went out to dinner with Joe. Was awkward. Supposed to see The Ring with him on DVD tomorrow, but I have tons of work to catch up on.
-Got my ass kicked in SO2. I think I'll train, tackle the Fun City Survival Battle, and then try the puzzle on Level 3 again.
-Had Media Academy today... some guy named John was helping us film people about the "teen issues" we'd selected. I interviewed people for the subject of "Fashion." One of the interviews went sour... the guy kept fidgeting and refused to give any definitive answers.
-Watched "Breakfast at Tiffany's" today. I love Audrey Hepburn. And CAT!
-No school tomorrow. *Maybe* as a reward for getting work done, I'll go to RTA... but not unless I can squirrel money out of my mom for the fish pellets (and maybe some gaming...) But FX is tomorrow too. AND MY CONCERT'S THURSDAY! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!
-Ooh yeah, watched the first part of Ghost in the Shell. *shudder* I hate the Major's dub voice.
-Got inspired for "Perfect World," probably up to chapter 6+. Yay.
-Found my scattered wish lists. I have notebook paper in my binder, pages in my Inspiration Book, pages in my sketchbook... ^^;; I always find stuff I want when I have the weirdest stuff on hand...
-Saw Dustin's new layout at soul-rebel.net. It's cool... ^^; but the filters could use some work, and I'm not a fan of the Times New Roman. If you decide to click, be sure to have Flash.
I'm feeling kinda icky... dizzy and nauseous. Yay. Going now.
