we said goodnight

I want a new layout. o_O That girl is bugging me now. Quit staaaaring at me!!!

Well, I think I have a nice EGL pic … think because ever since I downloaded NS 4.7something (which I use for e-mail … NS 7 be slooow … and Outlook Express = faulty), all my JPEG images get saved with a .jpe extension. O_< Half the time it’s recognized as a JPEG and tries to open in PSP, then says it’s not a supported file. The rest of the time it’s marked as an unknown file so I can just rename it and add “.jpg” to the end. Now is not one of those times. -.-;; So I’ve got the data on my compi. But it’s under the wrong file extension!! GAH! Well, I could either set folder preferences to show extensions of known files and rename the extensions, or open Photoshop and resave them. But I’m too lazy and/or busy at the moment. ^^;;; Oh yeah, the third way is to go to the site and resave them (adding .jpg BEFORE I save), but since I had a hard time finding the site last time … and since I found out that the site sells mainly 18+ stuff mostly … o_O I don’t wanna go find it again.

So. Anyway. Uh. I’m kinda studying for Art History. Writing down the terms and definitions. Also have to write down pertinent info on the Greek sculptures. Um. Yeah. I’m kinda almost done. ^^;; One more day tomorrow to study.

Yay, I got a WMV version of My Immortal. ^-^ Now I just need to get something to get screencaptures of WMV files. >_> Such a pretty song … prettty …

And … Ben Moody left Evanescence officially. Wahhhh!!! ;_; So sad!

[trigger warning: suicide]

The movie I wanna see right now is Jisatsu Circle. AKA Suicide Club. ^_^;; It’s a … horror/commentary film. Yes. A bloody film that questions the state of Japanese society. Sound familiar? (Battle Royale … which I still need to see … x_x) But, as this one site says, “…it’s almost a pure antithesis of Battle Royale, in which the adults felt threatened by the youth.” And it has the guy from Mystery Train. ^_^;

This site talks about the plot and stuff. It also pretty much gives away the ending. >_> But then again, I guess it isn’t really the ending that you watch the movie for … ^.^ “Opening with a notorious sequence concerning an exceptionally bloody mass suicide of 54 schoolgirls under a Tokyo-bound train….” Yeah. ^^; Oh yeah. It’s kinda sorta really gruesome, so … if you just ate (which I had, when I read it x_<) don’t go, unless you like the feeling of nausea. (And, I am also not the type of person to get nauseous. I can count on one hand the number of times in my life I felt that way. So … yeah.)

Then this site‘s review says it’s too confusing, that it’s only worth it to see the extreme gore. ^^;; Maaaybe. :) (Amazon has it for $21, region 1 … Region 0s on ebay for … $10 or more. And a SC/BR pack for $20. ^^ Hmmm …)

the last day

Thursday, 6 November, 2003 at 9:09 pm

^_^;;; Okay, I upload a new layout and don’t make a new entry for over 24 hours afterwards. @_@

Well anyway. The girl is some model from Seventeen. ^^;; I forget which issue. But I just liked that picture … I saw this ad in the last issue (not this issue) that I liked, and I scanned it in. ^^; Dunno what I’m gonna use it for, though.

I said it’d be an EGL layout, but I couldn’t really find any EGL pictures that were good enough for me, or that I wanted to work with, or that fitted with my mood (the lyrics I wanted to plaster all over the layout).

Oh yeah! The lyrics on this layout are Lesley Gore. :D I’ve heard … maybe 5 songs of hers. And I’m not sure if she’s 60s (probably is, girl groups era and all), or if that girl in the scan is 60s, or what. But anyway. In the album sleeve in Girl Group Greats, it says her (Lesley Gore’s) attraction was this spoiled rich girl. Ehehe.

*puts a tape in the car stereo* “SUNshine, lolli-POPS and—RAINbows, everything that’s wonderful is what I feel when we’re together!” XD One time, after Mommy heard that on the Simpsons, she pulled out her Lesley Gore vinyl album to play the entire song for us. o.o That was a long time ago … when the stereo was still by the china cabinet. It was fun. ^_^ And funNEE. XD

all I want from you is your … hurting

Thursday, 30 October, 2003 at 10:48 pm

WOOHOO!! XD I finished renumbering all my entries and junk. *dizzy* I deleted a total of 95 entries, and ended up with 231 entries left over. This would be the 232nd, I guess. Yeah. Next project: manually making a calendar-based archive page. Why? Because I want to. ^^;; I just feel like it … “Be like the boy! Be like the boy!” Old guys in the back: “We like Roy! We like Roy!” XP

Actually, an ongoing “project” I’m working on right now is cleaning out my documents folder. Augh. A couple days ago it was 1 gig. Now it’s 996 megs for some reason. ^_^; I don’t remember deleting anything. I remember saving a lot of things though. >.> I also have to look through my DeadAIM logs and delete unwanted convos. @.@ I think that folder is over 200 megs … egh.

Oh well. I have lots of projects lined up. ^_^;;; Just to name a few … clean out my closet, clean out my desk possibly, redo Elsewhere, and work on adding lyrics and lyric credits to Lyrically Longing.

Anyway … this week was mainly filled with three Es … Evanescence, EGL, and ebay. ^^;;

On Tuesday I found sites that had Evanescence songs that aren’t on their Fallen album. I.E., songs from their Origin album and EPs, and demos. XDDD Two hours and almost 50 minutes of Evanescence goodness. So I’ve been like in a euphoria listening to Amy Lee’s voice. XD

On a lot of these songs, her voice gets used more on singing. Not that her screaming is bad. :b I like that too. XP Like the song playing right now, Give Unto Me. It’s mainly her voice and piano. w00t! :D And Lies is a good rock song, too. ^-^ Soo good. ^__^ (And the downloading is very legal, since the members of Evanescence don’t want their fans to pay $100 for copies on ebay. :))

EGL: I saved more piccies from GLB last night. :D New layout, coming up (I hope o.o). And I think I’m definitely putting GLB on my Christmas list. (Mommy wants it early this year, so she can finish Christmas shopping before Thanksgiving. ^^’) I think on one site one GLB volume is $18.99. >_> But it’s the one most linked to, so I’ll go with that.

Ebay: ^^;;; I keep looking up variations of “elegant gothic lolita” to see what they have. And I already bought a dress. ^_^; But it’s not very lolita-ish. Just … well, not gothic, considering the dress underneath is pink … (I’m thinking of dying it black or summing … *shrugs*), but … yeah, not ruffle-y. ^_^; And I’m gonna ask Mommy if I can bid on another dress tomorrow. >.> The auction item closes on Saturday. And I waaant. Why? I dunno. It’s black. So I can wear it with my boots! XD

Oh yeah. o_O Did I not mention my boots here? I got mah boots! :D They’re not tall, though, just … umm … well, above ankle-height, but … maybe mid-calf? *shrugs* Anyway. I got them from Sears for $41.65 (something like that) including tax. :D:D:D So I have $20 left over now! ^-^ Of course, I’m trying to save up for Christmas … and I have to pay for this domain again in December … eek.

for 27 years I’ve been trying

Okay, so what did I do this week? Since I made layouts and stuff last week to fill my time … this week I wasn’t on Portibale much. ^^; Well, okay, I read The Moon is a Harsh Mistress quite a bit. I was halfway through on Monday, and now I’m about 100 pages from the end (it’s 382 pages long, 8″×5″ approx., and reads like this: Mum took her in arms, kissed cheek, said, “So glad you could come!” pretty much o_o). I also saw a few new music videos (Dashboard Confessional! XD) and got strangely attached to Degrassi: Next Generation. *shudders* Lauren Collins is in it. I liked her better in In a Heartbeat. :b Hey, what happened to Christopher Ralph, anyway? (I forgot about him, ever since Everwood started. o_O)

Anyway. Tonight I finally got this Invision Board installed. (For some reason last Sunday I downloaded version 1.12 instead of 1.2. o.O) It looks ooglay. And boring. But oh well. It’s there. I’ll fix it later. I also have no idea what to call it. ^_^;;;; Um. It’s at [inangeling-dot-net (linked to xox-dot-inangeling-dot-net)]. (I would have put it on the domain that’s “easier to spell” :b~ but fs.net doesn’t have MySql. Yet, anyway, I’m still debating that.) Umm, I made it ’cause I want a board to post at and SSH is … not there. ;-; So, there ya go.

And this past week … I’ve had lots of Dashboard Confessional songs running through my head. Fun! My own personal stereo XDDD I haven’t even been listening to it all that much. o_o Maybe just a couple times … really weird. Or maybe … really nifty. XD

Oh yeah, yesterday and Monday and maybe another day too I worked on junk pages for Elsewhere (and I haven’t thought one bit about the split), and … I thought I worked on another site. Oh yeah … Lyrically Longing. Must upload those pages now. ^_^;

Cardigans! XD “I never felt by heart that I could behave the way the roles were made.” Okay I’m done.

I’m goooing underr!

I want that shade of lipstick that Amy Lee wears in the live (acoustic) performance of Going Under. o_o Must … have … No one has good shades of red anymore. They’re all brown now. Or purple. Or … whatever. Oh well. (Not like I’m ever gonna wear lipstick, though. ^^;;;)

And Adam got me the mp3 for “Breathe No More.” XD Sho cooool! :D

Umm … *trying to think of other Evanescence things to keep the trend going*

Evanescence is touring with Cold and someone else right now. I wanna go to a concert. ^_^; (note: I don’t like the idea of concerts. All those people … screaming and shouting and … so close together … *shudders* Plus the overly loud music.) I wanna hear Amy Lee’s voice live. *.* And I asked Hidek if he liked Cold and he said they’re all right. ^^;; But I’m not gonna think of it anymore, ’cause I know I couldn’t afford it, and I just don’t like going out, and I never really plan to go to a concert in my life anyway … Oh yeah, I really wouldn’t mind getting the seat farthest from the stage. I wouldn’t mind that I couldn’t see Amy Lee. I just wanna hear her. o_o *needs needs needs*
