My sweet, my turtle dove  
I was in the process of finishing up my final comments for my last story to edit at [info]brigits_flame and my computer blue screen of death's me. I was going to cry, because I really didn't like the story, and I had a lot of notes, and they were GONE. Luckily, when I turn it back on and reload firefox, it had save it *A* ♥ you firefox, especially when my laptop is being lame. So, on that note, done with my editing at [info]brigits_flame and I can get back to AW! I am now 4 chapters behind orz. I could have moved onto the paper copies by now, which will make it easier for me to mark xD once Soup gets back her internet, I will be done with the computer copies, at least!

Seven bases I made were also lost, but that's okay. They were just some egoist ones, and I can crop and adjust the levels again easily. After results are posted at [info]kingdom_chorus tonight, I'll be able to make my icon post. I would love to post my icon I made for [info]trinity_lims, but since I have an alias, I don't think I'm allowed to. I can also post some of my ones for [info]ouran_lims because I didn't make it to the comeback.

I'm slowly making it to 100% on TWEWY, but I've got awhile to go. I'm working now on leveling up pins in shut-down xDD rofl So I'll turn it on once a day to see how they're going and switch pins around so they can evolve properly *A* but I'm still only at... 141 mastered pins orz that's a 46.1%. And my ESPers points is a D xDD

Ah, Ryan's over DDDDDD8 He's going to play with the kittens while my sister finishes getting ready. Sophie does this really cute chirp thing when she purrs. And she'll also mew a lot to try and get our attention. So Howl decided to start mewing too when we're petting Sophie so we'll pay attention to him. I'm like "HOWL, YOU'RE THE BIG BOY DON'T START CRYING."

Ah, i forgot I had a post going. It's been almost 3 hours since I started it hahaha

Cara and I had been talking about changelings and I was remind of a book I used to love when I was younger. I remembered that I put a bunch of my old books from Elementary and some of middle school into a box and I thought we put it into the attic. It wasn't in the attic and it's no where in my room (BUT I DID DISCOVER SOME EPIC CRACK FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL. OH MIDDLE SCHOOL, WHY WAS I SUCH A LOSER BACK THEN?!) and my mom said that maybe we sold them at our garage sale years ago. I was sad, because I had a lot of books in there I wanted (including pilgrim's progress. I have to buy another one). BUT ANYWAYS CHANGELINGS AND BOOKS. It was called The Moorchild and so I bought it again on Amazon (50 cents ftw)

My mom found her old Japanese tea set in the attic and gave it to me. It will be used in fun photoshoots in the future *A* especially next year ahaha with the dolls.

I wanted to start working on the one fanfic that I have going currently, but I need to keep rewatching the old episodes to remember character nuances and fun stuff like that. But there is no room on my laptop, so I have to see if they're on Veoh. Not dubbed. Because dubbed kills it and I won't be able to tell how they address each other. Who uses -san and -chan and -senpai for who?!

I made an icon for [info]trinity_lims and I really like it but I'm not too sure if it fits the theme and if others will like it. I'll ask Cara later what she thinks of it, then ask the mod if it applies. Or in some order. I also need to make my [info]ff_party icon ohnoes. And my egoist ones.

OH. And I've lost almost 10 pounds since the beginning of summer haha orz.

All your base  
I made 71 bases xD;;; this is not including scans from the manga that I plan on making bases out of, or the ones that Taka is working on, nor does it include the other set I plan on making.

Don't worry, the pictures under the cut are just a screen cap of my photoshop xD
behold the hetalia bases )

Now I will go make a sandwich, return to edit the other short story for [info]brigits_flame, then a chapter of AW. Then depending on the time, I will icon *A*

New user info/layout!  
HEYHEYHEYHEYHEY!!! CHECK IT OUT!!!! It's really simple, but I wanted a new layout xD

[info]dragon_gypsy [info]dragon_gypsy [info]dragon_gypsy
INFO INFO INFO

07-Ghost is LOVE. All the text comes from Dragons of a Fallen Sun. Ahhhh back when I was a dragon lance fangirl ♥

ps my header image is actually angled the other way, but I kind of liked this better. Just because of the height/width ;;;

ps I don't know why formatting is different, but I'm too lazy to figure it out.

ps I also removed the semi-friend's only banner because I hardly ever lock things so... yeah

tryin to keep myself afloat above this stream  
I didn't want to get up this morning! I went to bed at 1:30 and didn't get out of bed until 10:30 only because I had to go to the bathroom and I wanted to brush my teeth. And because I decided I didn't need to stay in bed any longer, because 10 hours of sleep is PLENTY.

I've written a bit! A page of my Lost Dolls story. It doesn't look like much when I posted it in [info]past0rl_insanty, but it felt like it haha prolly because I haven't been writing anything in so long. But after reading some of the The Princess and the Goblin yesterday at the pool, I really wanted to write it. I still wish it could be called Murder in the Make Believe Ballroom but... xDD orz I'm such a tard.

SPEAKING OF MY TARDDOM. I was doing some edits over at [info]brigits_flame and the second story I edited... the main character looked like AMERICA-TAN IN MY HEAD. I'm like NO. HETALIA. OUT OF MY HEAD NOW. In any case, I still have four stories left to read for [info]brigits_flame and I'm still two chapters behind on AW. But two of the stories I edit, Amy is also editing! So we're going to read them together and compare notes and do something spiffy like that. So I'm leaving those two for later. One of the remaining ones is short, so I'll probably read that today, along with a chapter of AW. I'll see if I can manage two chapters to catch up. I should be able to, since I don't have to do nitpicky stuff on AW xD

I downloaded the Hetalia computer game so I could cap it for icons. The text is all screwed up because of some unicode setting I have so I changed it... and then the game wouldn't play so I went "orz" and switched it back to how it was. Now the only problem with the game is that it goes back to the title screen after America comes in. And so IONNO WHAT ELSE HAPPENS. But I do have some pretty icon fodder now :'D OH And darling [info]rainy_takako is going to collaborate with me on some Hetalia icons! There were a lot of bases posted at [info]hetalia and so she offered to color them and I'll... attack them the rest of the way lol

My sister got a laptop today. The old one she was using used to be my Uncle's but it was just... kinda old and not working well AT ALL. But it came with a bunch of free stuff (as long as they turn in the mountain of rebates) so I get the router for next year! lol

I'm still really excited to be moving into my apartment in a month. My dad won't be able to make it until the 16th, but because I need to get a parking spot, my mom and I decided that I will drive up the 15th, the day I'm supposed to move in. I'll have whatever I can cram into my car with me haha and my parents will bring up the rest the next day. I asked my sister if she wanted to come, and so she was really excited about that. She asked if Kimmi could come also and I'm like "well... I'll have to ask Amy, but I'm fine with it." So Claire and Kimmi might come with me, and after I get all my stuff together (what little of it there will be), and get a parking space, then we're going to go hang out at the beach! Then my parents will take them home when they come up. The only problem is that Diamond Ranch is probably starting school that week, so maybe Kimmi might not come haha

Sometime next week, Sara invited me to come up to Burbank-land to partake in the Cult's eating-of-delicious-pastries party. Sounds like fun! *A* I'm going to be bringing both of my decks.

I want to get a book on crystals. They had a lot in Barnes and Nobel. Because Fe uses them a lot, I want to know what I'm talking about when I have her use them. She uses crystals and oracles mostly haha

Oh, and: Dir En Grey tickets for November 29th = GET! They were a little more than we had planned because of all these weird fees despite the fact that I bought them through the Wiltern's website. Butuh... because they are associated with Live Nation, we get to use that line and get in faster? Something like that.

PS I NEED TO STOP LISTENING TO THIS SONG BUT I CAN'T. THIRD POST IN A ROW LISTENING TO THIS SONG LOL ORZ.

Time to make some Hetalia icons and maybe work on my new header/user info image :D or make the user info table for [info]ff_party_blue xD;;

That would have been so much cooler if that was intentional  
this week's episode of Psych was filled with excellent 70's goodness xDD

I made a lot of icons today! I can't wait to use some of them. Anyways, really short entry because I have to go make sure I don't fall behind three chapters on AW ;;;;

READ THESE. YOU MUST READ THESE. THEY ARE SO AMUSING. Tears came to my eyes I was laughing so hard while reading these.

I need to stop listening to this song, but IT'S SO ADDICTING.

it gets easy after awhile  
Yesterday Kristen and I went out to Life Plaza for a bit then came back and watched DIGIMON. FTW. The dubbed, even better. After I took her home I went up stairs and watched the Return of Diaboromon haha <33 Ken. I need to make more space on my computer to do my downloads of the season one *A*

Nabari no Ou 19: GAO. I MISSED YOU. Omg don't turn into a Yoite fanboy :/ You're a fanboy for Raiko only. I was totally waiting for a hug haha but he's so cute and I missed him so ;A; Oooh it's coming to a close soon ;A; Then i'll have to go to the manga haha

Soul Eater 19: ahhhh I was waiting for this for so long and god it was so awesome. Studio Bones totally rules when it comes to animation *A* when Kid bust through Medusa's arrows?! AMAZING ANIMATION. I still loved it when he passed by Chrona. AND OMG KILIK. KENICHI SUZUMURA! NOW YOU HAVE HIKARU AND TAMAKI AND HARUHI LOL I always though Kilik would have had a bit of a deeper voice, but I guess this works for him. I can't wait for 20. But omg Kishin Arc!! I can't wait til they fight him *A* Black Room Soul = ♥

Finishing up icons that I owe today, working on a layout! Hopefully work on some banners and do some cleaning. I put away most of my laundry, finally! Gods it's been sitting there for a long time. But my mom never told me to pick up so I didn't ;;; and I finally got around to doing it xD;;; now I just have to hang everything up. Maybe I'll draw? Maybe I'll write. I need to read two chapters of AW because I didn't read any yesterday. I woke up late then did a lot of cleaning/tidying up. But my editing for [info]brigits_flame starts very soon, because week 2 ends today. Wheee!

ps I STILL CAN'T GET OVER EPISODE 19 OF SOUL EATER A:LFDKJ SO COOL -shot-

ps2 Oh I have to go wish Megan happy birthday~ (runs off to facebook)

Coming and going from the store up above  
I've seen this around, and have finally decided to yank it from parallelpatriot~!

Computer Spying Meme
1 -- Comment with a request to see absolutely anything on my computer. My desktop, my documents, my bookmarks, my latest works in progress, my music. Whatever you're curious about. Request it!
2 -- I will respond by posting a new entry with a screenshot of the very thing you request.

I woke up this morning going "ahh tuesday!" and then I was on my computer and went to go see what time it was but then my mouse hovered over it and went WEDNESDAY, FOOL. And so I freaked out, going "I WENT THROUGH ALL OF YESTERDAY THINKING IT WAS MONDAY BUT IT WAS TUESDAY!??!?!" I was also "omg I have to go out with Amy in half an hour?! no way i'll have to text her!" then when I looked at my phone it said 'Tue' and I was like "................................" and looked at my computer again before I realised that i left it on November ;;;;;; orz I had to check the date of the 29th of November for the Diru concert and for whatever reason left it to November. I felt like such a failure.

Kittens are being energetic purrballs more so than they were yesterday. Omg they are like... enamored with the brush I use to sweep the floor xD;;;; I can hear them flopping around now ;;; (goes to spy on them)

I've been obsessed with this song as of late. I want to use it for something but I don't know what.

I was checking out some of the entries at [info]brigits_flame that are the favorites/risking elimination from this one major run-off and well... I don't really like them. I read the ones for the second run-off. One had a lot of errors in it and the other one was using lyrics from Come What May but it didn't even fit with the story and his reference to Moulin Rouge at the beginning had absolutely NOTHING to do with his story. Omg I hope I don't get someone like that for my editing tasks next week....

Anyways, I have to go do some icontest stuff and then get back to reading :D

ps Ummmm I posted this but my LJ says it's not up.... ;;; orz.... Edit It was because my last two posts were from November ORZ.

love is a battlefield!  
Er, subject, as almost per usual, has no meaning and is just lyrics. Nothing to do with love here, moving on.

I feel really anxious and impatient, like I'm waiting for something big to happen. I tried to ask the cards for their insights. Both decks said that I need to change my thought processes and not be so concerned with myself and just kind of 'move on'. I'm like "WAIT WHUT." I just wanted to know why I was feeling anxious :/ I think my antsy mood is rubbing off on them.

Made a necklace for my sister today! It turned out pretty nicely, but does look a little "so-so". I'll take pictures of it later. We ended up leaving the chain silver because it went "kira kira" as she walked. Give or take the onomatopoeia.

Oh I forgot to bring these up the last few times I posted. OURAN 63 OMG WTF. TAMAKI. I'm really not liking Hikaru's character now. I thought he had matured after that whole incident, but now he's just worse. He even is making Kaoru ashamed. Haruhi's character is changing into the typical shoujo heroine also :/ and the recent Nodame chapters omg she was serious?! It's getting so serious x'D but I think Chiaki is trying to figure out how to get serious about it also. His reactions to Nodame are so cute. And Milch... I'm still trying to decide what your methods are for asking Nodame to perform with you ;;; I love how it went Faust tho at the end when he was asking her *A* bwahaha thinks its cook because she read the play and knows what it means

Today, my sister had all three kittens sitting on her lap purring. She just walked into my room carrying all of them, and I decided I wanted to hold one for a while and so I took howl :D

I have Diru's Mazohyst of Decadence playing....and the song/video is going on youtube but the time still says 0:00/0:00 as if it hasn't even loaded and I'm like DDDD: how much longer is this song?!

Speaking of Diru! November 29th, at the Wiltern *A* Me, Ick and Soup! I think I might have to mentally prepare myself? I do prefer their visual kei stuff over the really uber freaky stuff but... And I heard their live shows are pretty wild xD;;;

Ohmy voted off at [info]animanga_lims ;;; both me and Annie, I'm surprised xD;;; there were a lot worse icons on there than ours. Also: Turns out I was eliminated from [info]ouran_lims which is UNFAIR because I had 12 points and because three of the players skipped, they are still on but have less points that me >/ luckily, this round also serves as the comeback so I'll be trying to get back on >O

Last thing: I might be a bit behind on the news butuh... New Jersey's Montauk Monster? Uh--ew. Raccoon or not. Ew!

I think I'll write. After I finish reading this chapter of AW~

ps I will never get tired of this mood image.

PS AGAIN OH BEFORE I FORGET!! These two pictures were taken by [info]sara_in_england! Kit gave me the links then I stole them darling you'll have to friend me first on facebook :/ I can't friend you first I also do realise I haven't posted my pics from AX but they're really not that exciting ;;;; er ;;;; anyways.


My new facebook profile picture :D Anna the headhunter! Sara has one of those really nifty cameras that took four pictures at once. This is us crossing the street to the convention center, and I'm brushing out my wig haha

Me and Pablo! Aka Liz and Death the Kid lolol I had him pick me up during the Soul Eater photoshoot, and then he also demonstrated how he could 'force dip' girls and I happened to be standing right next to him at that point in time and was the victim. And then everyone found it totally amusing and decided that more pictures needed to be taken. Mine died tho :/ Sara had taken one of him actually swinging me around but it didn't come out haha Strands of the wig kept falling down my pants :/ they were a little too big cause they were my sisters xDD

Oh Pablo ♥ I think one of my favorite moments from AX was either us calling him a happy emo king, and then deciding to call him Tamaki. And then Jana becoming Hani and Kit and I becoming Hikaru and Kaoru and attacking him all at once. Or it was:

Everyone: Pablo, stop telling dirty jokes!
Pablo: I can't help it! Anna is encouraging me!
Me: ;D oh, I'll encourage you~~~♥
Pablo: SEE! SEE WHAT I MEAN?!

The words keep spinning by  
So I once again decided to look up my book list for next quarter to see what should be ordered on Amazon ahead of time and what I'll end up just buying at the bookstore. I decided that all the Shakespeare are cheap enough to buy at the bookstore, and it also makes sure i have the right versions. I already have Midsummer Night's Dream, and Hamlet (DIEHAMLETDIE), but Hamlet is the wrong edition. But I don't care cause Hamlet is not special enough to be upgraded. I'll be buying my books for my "Media History and Theory" class on Amazon, because they're a lot cheaper there. In total, not even $27 (if I don't get the optional book) and so that's about... 3 books for $21, or 4 for $27; the Scribes and Illuminators (Medieval Craftsmen) book I have to get in the bookstore is $20 used, and $27 new, so I think I'll be fine) It's going to be a cheap quarter for me haha Philosophy doesn't have any books listed though, so I don't know how that will run out in the end. But I already have all my French books from last year. I'm really excited for my classes, despite the fact that the teachers have rather bad reviews AND I HAVE TO READ HAMLET AGAIN. I'll be done with French by Winter Quarter, also. But I have to take lit classes where we read french literature, so I won't be out of the woods yet. But I guess that means I'll be able to take Japanese my senior year? Depending on if I get those two lit classes done or not, or if I study abroad, etc.

I also realised that since I'll be staying in SB over the summer, and I'll be taking summer school, that's going to be a bit problematic. I wanted to do either this 8-day tour of Ireland (if Marc sets it up again) or an 8-day general tour of Europe through the same program my sister and her class went through last year. It's only 2600 max, including all hotel fees, estimated airfare, transportation, food, etc. If I can't find a good study abroad session for my senior year, I want to do that (preferably before I graduate if it can be helped, but I guess it will be fine if I have to do it after...) And while I do want to go to Japan sooner or later, I'd rather go to Europe first. If it can be helped.

I have about.... 12 chapters of Against the Wind to read *A* at first I was planning on doing one a day and then I would get them done by next week, but then I signed up as an editor over at [info]brigits_flame. The mod was in such a desperate need for editors, I'll be starting as a full-time editor for the next week's round. So I want to get AW done before I become too bogged down with that. Hopefully I won't get too many to read.... But I might have to up my amount of AW chapters to 2 a day. 3 once I get to the paper ones if I'm lucky xD I like reading things on the computer if I don't have to mark on it haha 21 and 22 today. I made it through 20 at a decent pace, but then I numbed my brain for a few hours playing FFIII ;;;;

I think FFIII will be the first Final Fantasy game I actually finish ;;; I've only played VII and X, but I had to give them both back to Chase. Well, I gave up on VII, and I was kinda just running around aimlessly on X before going to fight Sin. I also started X-2, but no one really counts that ;;;; I was just bored the day before leaving for college so started it haha but, III might actually get finished! xDD

The competition at [info]ouran_lims is heating up! I wasn't eliminated like I thought I was, because I was lucky enough to have high points. But now I'm one of the lowest, so I better start making really good icons Dx [info]trinity_lims has just started the official contest, and I'm going to have to fight to stay in that one, too, even though my ranking is pretty high. There were a lot of good icons in the pre-lims. Also, we just started our first round at [info]ff_party! I'm organizing an icon exchange and maybe some icon-meme thing thats like a friending meme but talking about icon styles/preferences, etc. We just had a nice successful header/banner/icon challenge to spruce up our team's community :D But all in all, icontests have been having a hard time getting participation these last few weeks D:

Eric came and took the black kitten yesterday ;A; now we're down to three~!! (so sad to see them all go) My mom and sister thought they weren't eating properly because they didn't eat it when she fed them last night. They thought it was because of the new formula we bought/the fact that we have to use the momma cat food now because we ran out of kitten food (CHRIST'S SAKE I'M GOING TO PET SMART ALMOST EVERY DAY). But then I made it for them this morning and they ate it all up like usual. I'm like :/ maybe you just don't make it right.

I wanted to start on making a few of the ornaments/bracelets/etc, but I'll have to wait. I wanted to get Amy's approval on the bracelet chain I was going to get, but we had to cancel our plans from yesterday. I still can't get the gears out of my clock, but I'm thinking about going around and finding yard sales to see if there is anything there I can use. I would love to go to Quartzite but it's so far away! Anyone up for a day trip out to Arizona? Orz. It would be about 10 hours total. But I don't have an excuse to be away from the house for that long, and... I would probably get lost hahaha I think I will at least start on the earrings, but I just have to open up one more of my watches. And if I spray-paint the chain my sister picked out, then I can start on hers. Oh, Kristen my darling, you need to pick out a key and beads next time you come over and stuff like that :'D

Anyways, I'm going to go. Enough rambling from me, yep.

And for those of you who don't know the utter GLORY that is the 14 episodes (+ movie) of Firefly, please check it out

And in honor of this I have uploaded three old Serenity icons I made. I remade this one, fixed the text on another, and did nothing to a third. And with this, all 32 icon slots are filled! But I will be shuffling some around come Monday >>

Spin around and around  
I-I'm so hyper right now, but that might be due to the overload of pepsi to my brain and lack of actual food. But I do want pizza. And when I was playing WEWY, I wanted one of those cheeseburgers (shot) but yeah totally hyper and all over the place and in a really good mood despite it being so hot out.

My sister asked me to make a necklace for her. I'm going to take her with me to Michaels and Jo-Ann's next time we can go to pick out a chain. She wants me to buy a silver one and spray paint it black, but I don't know how well that will go over. But I did find a good silver chain that we would have to shorten, just the links are the right size. And I am supposed to be using black wire, but there isn't any ;;; I found some that looks black, but I think it's dark blue. Which would look weird next to black beads and chain. At least, this is just what I found at Michaels. I still need to go to Jo-Ann's. I was just getting a price idea. But I did find a good chain that would work for the bracelet I'm going to make for Amy! I just need to figure out what else I should but on there :'D I also need to get some more things for the necklace I'm making myself.

While I'm talking about it, anyone want one? haha keys are here (you'll have to scroll prolly once the pictures of kittens load LOL) I'm thinking about making a pair of earrings using the smaller keys that I have at least 2 of each because of the old locks that came on the pencil boxes. Or if you have a key/trinket you want me to use, etc. Ionno haha I need to make at least one. I could start on the pendant that uses the barometer face. I have the gold wire for that. I just need to get a chain later. A long gold chain with big links :D I'm excited. I'm also nervous that the barometer thing will break x'D;;;;

I posted some things over at [info]past0rl_insanty. Umm.... my detective fiction story and a short little drabble from genre writing. I'm working on another really short drabble that is similar to 'Days', but I need to think of a name. I don't want to use the same name twice, but I might have to haha Edit: finished the story :D

Last night I was thinking about Cain Murders as I was going to bed, and I realised that it would be totally awesome as a 1950s noir crime novel. Like Marlowe, only 50 times cooler because it's William Trafford and Marlowe wasn't that cool to begin with? Some things will work either way, and some would work better in one or the other. Olivia's character I think would fit much better in 1950s, cameras are more readily usable, so on. Reina could fit also. Bubbly blonde haha only kit will get this if she hasn't erased it from her memory yet. Cain would be much better in the Victorian era, because he's just that kind of guy. And if it's in the 1950s, then I can't use this quote:

With careful motions, I shuffled through the photographs that Olivia handed to me. "You take lovely pictures of dead people."

"They're mummies," she returned in a flat voice.

I looked at her from over the edges of the pictures and replied with, "Mummies are dead people."

I say I can't use it because well....the cameras back then took so long to make the exposure that you only really got nice clear shots of dead people (ie dead soldiers during the civil war) while pictures of people sitting for portraits might be slightly blurred as the subjects fidgeted. Ionno. I need to ask someone ;;; WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK? 1950s OR 1860s?!?!

omg crash coming on ;;; pepsi is leaving my system xDDD now I want to take a nap. that or it's really too hot outside. I think I will try to finish the story and then go take a name and then work on the pendant and then read some of AW :D

PS. I made an icon today that I really like and I want to use it really bad xDD but I have to wait for voting to be over at the contest DD:

Also... er... I forgot what the also was supposed to be... (fail)

edit oh oh now i remember! We got another applicant for Lacryma *A* but... some of our characters aren't posting. Despite my warning.... They log onto the forum, but they don't post. But! Since we have 9 characters (not including the new applicant, I just made a 3rd character), we can send out the message so they can start. I'll prolly do a mass mail from the forum as well as making the post. It'll be cooler that way. But I'll wait until we get the new person signed up and if Kane is still making her character? If we could get just one more person, maybe?! because 12 is better than 9! And we can have at most 4 teams then :'D if not, two teams will have to have four people if we only get 11 :/ BUT DO CHECK IT OUT, PLEASE?!

I'm taking it out on you, fish food!  
Speaking of Fish okay no not really speaking of her we're thinking of renaming her to Sophie. A lady came by yesterday to look at Howl because her mother in law wanted a kitten. Claire was like NOOOOOO and kept saying things that would make her not interested in Howl. Eric might take Ryuuk, and he was going to give it... some weird 'black' name. Eric has some weird fascination with black people xD;;; and he's whiter than I am. Someone else from Mom's work might come in and take Connor. She original liked Oliver Max Power (Mr Ruiz's kids renamed him LOL poor kitty) but... well.. Connor is a tabby. Maybe she'll like him. That would leave Fish Sophie! My mom is thinking about getting rid of all of them tho ;A; she said they're too much work, but really, Claire and I have been taking care of them a lot. This morning I was just so tired i couldn't get out of bed so she started doing it all lol but once there is only one kitten, there won't be so much mess and not a need to prepare so much food. So... we can at least keep one? ;A; she'll be large enough to start living... not in our bathroom... by the time Claire and I leave.

My sister and her friends got tickets to the Tonight Show. It's with Scarlett Johanson ;A; she's so gorgeous.

The other day, I was forced to have an impromptu photoshoot with my sister and her sunflowers lol here are a few of them.
sunflowers galore! )

Today is supposed to be hot. I will go to the park in the evening Dx I think today will be spent playing video games and reading and making icons that I owe.

He likes to remind me that i wasn't in the pilot episode  
I was going to start complaining about something, but while wandering back onto veoh to see if my video was uploaded, I checked out their new front page and decided to see what TV shows they had episodes from. They had pysch (yay!) and so I decided to watch some clips from that and I decided that I'm just really not in the mood to complain! But I just did want to say something regarding the point that was troubling me.

I decided to play with my oracles and see what she had to say. The first card that immediately jumped out (i mean like, the second i stared shuffling) was the card of grief, loss, and release--symbolizing change and a need to move onto the next phase. The next one when I sat and managed to shuffle longer while thinking about it came out as the card of cruelty, gossip, and destruction--symbolizing a need to be just be real and taking responsibility for 'ourselves and our feelings rather than blaming others for the way we are'. I'm not too sure if that last bit was refering to me or to the subject that was in question. I also found out that she (the oracles, I mean) would like it very much if I named her haha when I asked, she took a while to think about it then gave me the card for 'enhanced communication'

Anyways I feel like I'm being stretched too thin and that I just really need to let go of one of those points that is hindering me so I can snap back into a more reasonable feeling. Or... something it makes sense in my head. That and it's midnight so my brain is like "buh coherent thoughts?"

I'm hoping that sometime soon I will managed to drag myself out to the park again. Because I really liked doing that. I don't want to go by myself D: but if I have to then I will because god knows when I can actually get people to hang out with me ;;; orz (unexpected emo moment)

okay back to Psych do they really reference a pineapple in every episode?! and boo, they film in Vancouver :/ I wanted to drive into Santa Barbara once back in school and try to find the building LOL AND OMG DOES LASSIE REALLY SOUND LIKE THAT? HE SOUNDS SO.... GERMAN.

and here's another curse--may all your bacon burn  
I've been having a lot of headaches lately. Need to drink more water.

Kittens won't stop being adorable. Bathroom smells like kitten now, which isn't fun ;;; we can't keep the door open or they would run out. Claire was holding Connor today, and she decided to try and let him play around on the floor in her room (UH. IT'S A TOTAL MESS. I have to hop over stuff just to get to the PS2 haha not that my room is any cleaner) but the moment she puts him down and turns away to close her door, the little cat is running off under her bed xDDD she caught him though, so it's all good.

Kristen and I had our little outing today *A* we went to B&N so she could check out the MCAT books, then got a starbucks and went to English Springs park. She discovered the joy that is Professor Layton and I sat around writing. I didn't get a lot done, considering we were there for almost two hours, but I did get a lot more than I have been doing lately! I worked on Cain Murders, because that needed some lovin and was the only thing I felt like I could work on. I surprisingly was able to start it quite well, but I might have brought in Olivia and Lucas in too early. Oh well. Named one of Will's co-workers after my kitty :'D He's Irish. And his name is Connor. Will likes to make fun of him for being Irish but every one makes fun of HIM for being half French xD;;;

Discovered the awesomeness of GOA techno today. I feel like dancing hahaha

I've been working hard on leveling up my pins in TWEWY ;;; it's going to be difficult getting the mingle PP xD;;;; I'm hoping that when I get back to campus it will pick up a little? I also fangirl'd really bad over Kingdom Hearts quite randomly today. 358/2 days to be exact. omg I can't wait get it. And Professor Layton 2~~ *A*

I also decided that I wanted to get my eager little hands on a claim for Howl's Moving Castle icons somewhere. Can't decide where yet tho. Also want to do a little Howl-verse RPing. Who knows. Whose up for it? lolol

Miss Mary-Sue over at Lacryma isn't improving. Cara and I are finding it quite amusing. Here's a peak at her oh-so-Mary-Sue posting style. This is in response to Casian zoning out while looking at Ayn I do the same thing D: staring at people and not even noticing it Keep in mind he was just staring at Ayn:

Logan noticed two boys looking, staring, at at her and the red-head. She smiled to herself, wondering if they were lost in thought, as Logan often was, or if they were merely checking them out. She hoped they were lost in thought. Logan had a great body for the little effort she put into it, and although she would occasionally use her looks to help her out of trouble, she hated being oogled at. Now she had to know.

I added the bold, just to emphasize my point lol Keep this in mind: she's 19, 5'3", C-cups, 110 pounds.

THIS JUST IN THANKS TO KRISTEN. I heard a little while ago that Tim Burton was making an Alice in Wonderland scheduled to come out in 2010. Apparently, rumor is Johnny Depp will be playing the Mad Hatter?! *A* I would be such a happy fangirl. Apparently Alice is some relatively unknown Australian actress. Can't wait to see it *A* and get more info.

Anyways I think I'll be heading off to bed now. I actually slept in today, save for when Dad woke me up at 6:30 running the Buick's engine for almost 15 or so minutes ;;; I'll hopefully write more Cain Murders and then get it posted by the end of the week *A* and I'll make an announcement if I take a Howl claim anywhere haha
