This layout is not the most user-friendly. Even though I really really like, it must go. Now I must go around looking for a piccie to use, then I have to figure out what to do or mess around with it, then I have to code it, then I have to upload it. I think I should have a new layout up in about a month or so. :b

I mean, okay, I don’t really have that much to fill up my time with, in fact I probably have … 7 hours a day of free time … *blinks* I have seven hours of free time? Gee, it really feels like only three … hm … I can’t have 7 hours of free time. Can I? o.O? Maybe I can. Okay. Well, half an hour to an hour spent eating dinner. One hour on Monday spent watching Everwood. XD One hour on Thursday spent driving home. Some time on Monday and Wednesday spent cleaning the kitchen.

Friday–Sunday afternoon I usually unwind and do chores and finish up whatever work I didn’t do during the week and do all my reading and watch Monk and … sometimes I drive Hidek around to places. Okay, just Best Buy and Tower Records. I’m not willing to navigate anywhere else. (Yeah, I’m trying to drive him around more because he complained on his site that everyone has a license but won’t use it so what’s the point of us having a license AND a car and when he gets his license he’s really going to use it, something like that. :b) So … I dunno. *shrugs* My time is disappearing. ENDTIMES! Hahaha … yeah. *ahem*

Last Friday … was it last Friday? Yeah. Last Friday I drove my brothers around. Hidek was looking around for CKY DVDs, and Mickey wanted to look at MP3 players. So first I went to Tower Records. And for some reason I felt really guilty that time that I was parking in the hotel/motel (whatever it is) lot and not the Tower Records/auto shop lot. ^^;;; I always park there, because otherwise I’d have to wait for a chance to make a left turn at the corner, then make another left turn into the lot. Then to get out I’d have to go back the same way and wait just that much longer for another signal. Uh, yeah. Anyway.

Hidek said he’d go to Borders with me, but I decided I didn’t want to drive that much, so we didn’t go. So we drove through Jichan’s neighborhood because I didn’t feel like waiting for the green arrow by the freeway. But … ahh … ^^;;; I kinda sorta forgot it WAS Friday, and you can’t do what I normally do (which is make a right turn at the stop sign then go into the third lane to turn left) because there were too many cars going by. >.>

So uhh … I ended up finding out that the street that goes by the middle school/high school is really very close to Jichan’s neighborhood. ^^;; (If that makes any sense.) I took that street past the school then went the way I normally do to Best Buy. Then we went to Circuit City. That whole trip took about two hours and 15 minutes. Ehehe.

So. I don’t really know what to do with this blog. I mean … I use it during the summer (or at least I think I do, I only have last year to go by, the year before it didn’t exist), but not during the semester. Actually, I’m not using any journal service very much at the moment. ^^; Other than, you know, customizing and shtuff. (Fun! ^_^) With this blog I just usually put what I did during the day or what I’m thinking, or something out of the ordinary that happened. Is that right?

Well, during the semester, my daily events are “got up, went to class[es], came home.” :b And anything that I’m thinking about are boring assignments or getting sleep or whatever. And I don’t think anyone wants to read about boring assignments. So I don’t know what to put here. I’ve delegated all the content away to other journals! *makes a Home Alone face* Er, not really, but I mean … the only other content I could come up with now is quiz results and surveys. And those go in my spay-shul jur-nal. Hm. I dunno.

I was thinking about making fs.net a kind of portal for all my journals. I mean, my blog would still be here, but not on the front page. The front page would just have links to my other journals (and blog) and to my two sites on this domain (SMC and L.S, if you weren’t keeping track :b) and to my other domain.

But then … I dunno. I always thought it was kinda rude, linking to something, and then that something says, “Sorry, only certain people can see this.” Hey, I remember when I first got a Diaryland account and when you looked at the most recent updated journals, sometimes you’d be directed to a password-protected journal. I thought, ‘Why are you listing yourself in the directory if you don’t want everyone to read it?!’

Sometimes I get irritated when I see someone on LJ posting on a community and I wanna read their journal, but it’s friends-only. I try not to be, though, ’cause it’s not really their fault they advertise their journal whenever they use their account. What really annoys me is people having blogs and linking to their journal, then it ends up being private. (I’m not against people linking their journal with the words “private journal,” though.) Or the oddest thing, someone has a collective and says they have a blog, but it’s private, so you have to ask them for the link. I wondered, what’s the point in that?

*dinner*

[6:53] *ahem* Well, my point is that I’d be pointing to two journals that are private and one that’s semi-private. That’s kinda useless, don’tcha think? Linking to a blog I don’t really use, a journal that’s friends-only, a quizzes journal, and a dreamlog. *shrug* Ah well.

Right now I’m almost done with Good Omens. 44 more pages. And I’m not in the mood to be reading, either. ;_; Nooo! (Well, I was reading it for maybe an hour or less today, so meh. ^^;) After that I get to read Amy Tan’s The Bonesetter’s Daughter. More than half a year after I bought it. That’s a first for me.

so I close my eyes

-.-;; Mum just told me to get off a couple minutes ago and go to bed, so I closed everything. Then she realized my brother wasn’t asleep, so she shouldn’t make me go to sleep either. o.O Oh well. I’m gonna get off after this anyway. Chippies and sodie and Martinelli’s sparkling cider in the living room. :9 And I have Good Omens to read. I also have The Sandman book 10 to read … but *sniffs* I DON’T WANNA READ IT!!! NOOOO! It can’t be over!! ;.; Well, I think I’m gonna read it anyway. ^^;;

And, woah, I just remembered this dream … except … this is really weird … I can’t remember if it was my dream, or a dream in a novel, or someone’s dream online, or … just one of those weird deja vu things … it’s kinda really confusing me. o_o And now I’ve forgotten most of it. ^^;;; Oh well.

Oh yeah … I finished Endless Nights last night. Nooo! That just leaves two books left to read that have to do with The Sandman … unless I magically come up with a couple twenties, then I can buy The Sandman Companion. ^^;

Aaanyway … new layout. Yeah. The girl is a model in this Banana Republic ad. ^_^; I just really liked that photo … And, I’m kinda wondering, what’s with this pink scrollbar out in the middle of all this grey-blue? It’s kind of … an eyesore … no?

Oh yeah! Yesterday I spent most of the afternoon/evening working on MFF. ^_^;; I think a good chunk of my time “updating” that site is spent sorting out all my floppy disks … so I think I’m gonna put all my stuff on the old compi. That’ll take a while. And … since that compi takes so long to start (about a couple minutes, I think?), I may be updating even less … but then again, I wouldn’t have to mess with the disks. So … yeah.

I haven’t updated here for over a week. How weird. When was the last time I did that? I was trying not to do that anymore. But, here’s the really weird part, I haven’t really said anything in my lj either. And I haven’t written in my diary, log, or noteook. So … weird. I don’t really feel like I haven’t been writing entries lately. Oh well.

Um … what else to say …

Okay! Today! Today Mum woke me up at 6:00 and I actually got up and got ready and everything. Everyone was ready and rolling at 6:40. ^^;; We were supposed to leave at 6:30. But oh well. We were ten minutes early anyway. N had to take a test at UTI. After that we went to IHOP and I had crépe-style pancakes. Yum.

Then we went to the Ontario Mills Mall. There’s a Vans skatepark there. o_o Sooo cool. Umm … went in quite a few stores. At the Virgin Megastore I got The Sandman book 10 (for $12 o.o!), Foo Fighter’s Single Have It All (Darling Nikki! XD), and Millenium Actress. I’m wondering, if I brought it tomorrow, would we watch it? I don’t know. I also got two blouses (pink! :b) at Forever 21 that Mum paid for. Oh yeah. I finished Shadow Puppets on the way there. It’s good, kinda. Not great. Now I get to read through the whole series again. >b

After we got home Mum agreed to take me to Circuit City to look at stuff. I bought earphones ’cause N said they were good, and some part of the plastic on my current ones are coming off. No one sells Aiwa anymore. T-T I think that sucks. Oh well. Mum said I could buy from Aiwa.com. It’s gonna be over $160. For a portable CD player (with AM/FM tuner :b) and stereo. Yeah. And after today I owe M and D $80. x_x I don’t want to use the money in my bank account anymore. So I’m not spending for a loooong time now. :(

voila

Christmas layout. :) The image is from this Christmas picture book I have. ^^ My aunt got it for me when I was a kid. And back then I didn’t understand the words because they’re scriptures. :b This is … uhh, something in Luke 2. I forget.

Hm. I’m trying to upload my graphics webpage to inangeling-dot-net but in IE I keep getting asked for a login after a minute, and LeechFTP and WS_FTP both tell me there are too many connections from my IP (3). *shrugs* I restarted, but it still says the same thing. ._.

And now I’m on break for almost a month! XD The geology final wasn’t thaaat bad … but I wouldn’t be surprised if I got a B on it. :( (But I think I still have an A in the class. ^^)

It was windy on campus and in the whole valley today! o_o Mum and Auntie and Noelle and I were sitting in the car in the parking lot and we could feel the car rock. That was fun. Haha. But then I drove home on the 118 (instead of the 101) and there were these trucks that were weaving in the lanes. Since they’re a lot less wind resistant than other cars, I was over to one side of my lane as far as I could go. ^^;;; ‘Cause there are three lanes and they were in the slow lane and I didn’t want to go in the fast lane with those winds.

Now I’m kinda thinking, ‘I don’t want to spend a whole month on the computer. That’s kind of boring. And a waste.’ But what else can I do? [reeeead] But that’s only good for a couple hours or so. I don’t want to watch tv either. [tv’s more wasteful] Just another option. I dunno. Maybe I’ll clean out my closet and desk and dresser. ^^;;; Wooo, isn’t that ever so exciting?

My most favorite Christmas present ever was my guinea pig, Buba. :) I loooooove my Bubbums!

My most memorable Christmas present ever was a red four-square ball my mom got me. ^_^ It’s ’cause I wasn’t expecting it at all (ours is a family of wishlists) and yet it was such a great present. I got lots of playtime out of it. XD

I know you’re wondering, well …

Friday, 12 December, 2003 at 12:00 am

Uh. *ahem*

ARGH.

O_< What happened?! Something’s not working in my Greymatter installation. It says my pages are supposed to be .shtml. But they’re very obviously not.

Maybe it’s my brain. For the past couple of weeks I’ve been forgetting words. ^^;;; I still can’t remember what that thing is called, when Jesus comes back and takes people up to Heaven. My art history prof said it in class, and I was writing … something as she said it, so it went in one ear and out the other and I put lots of re- words in my notes. o_o;;

I is hooome! :D Er, well, I usually am home at this moment. ^^;; I’ve been home for almost … about 22.5 hours. *took a minute to calculate that* o_O I spent today doing nuffinks. I went to bed around 12:30 (I think). Um. Woke up today after Mum woke me up before going to work.

Up to 11 I was in the bathyroom playing with make-up. :P SM00 gave me black eyeliner so I put it on. ^_^ Pwetty. But I dunno how to work with make-up so uhh, I dunno what else I need to make those solid black lines around my eyes. And I also don’t like the feeling of foundation. And I like this one lipstick I have (I think Mum gave it to me, Clinique freebie) that’s a brownish/purplish. Nice naturalish color.

Then I went on the compi. When Hidek came home I got off so he could go on and I played Animal Crossing. I dunno what I did, really. ^^;; I put up my “big festive tree” and sold seashells by the seashore. And some other things. Then I gave 60,000 bells to Friend 1’s file, because B.O. needs more space for the exhibits. (Explanation: Friend 1 got a file, but since he didn’t play, Hidek turned it into “Hidek’s Barnyard Oddities,” aka the museum for the stuff Gulliver gives us and stuff we get from NP codes. :D) Then I went back on the compi.

Oh yeah. Lots of stuff happened this week. Noelle reeeally ran out of space on her domain, so I let her move her and SM00’s blogs to inangeling-dot-net. :) Then I gave Noelle a LJ acause Lisa’s using hers. And I got a new LJ for myself because I’m really freaky that way and no I don’t think I’ll use it considering I haven’t used the GJ I got. ^.^;; But I made a layout for it. Hehe. I overcame LJ’s restrictions! Um. Kinda. They have tooo many tables and they don’t give any labels for the entry text and other stuffs. Oh well. It looks all right.

Yeah. Now for the next two days I have to “study” for my geology final. Actually, I think I really should study or at least reread stuff she talked about, because I was kind of lacking sleep in the latter half of the semester so I was in a daze when she lectured. ^^;;;;

so lay down

O_o Uh. This layout needs more tweaking. But dinner’s gonna be ready soon, so I figured I’d rather talk about the layout than work on it. ^^;;

Okay, EGL! XD The image is from Homemade Gothic & Lolita. Um. I forget where I got the scan. <_< *don’t hurt me* I think I should have worked on the quality of the image. ^^; I forgot. Oh well.

Now what? I dunno. I finished Sandman 6. ^^ I can’t read King of Dreams until I finish the next four!! Ahhh! Oh well.
