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 …

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. ^^;;;;

ima, watashi wa … nasshingu.

I feel BLAH. So. Yeah. I’m kinda in that mood where I’m annoyed ’cause my old entries all show the same date. ¬_¬ I mean, I know it was like that. I’ve known since … I dunno … maybe after I converted to shtml. ^^; Now whenever I rebuild my entry files the date changes to that date. Soo … I last rebuilt my entry pages in October. Yeah. I knew about the problem before then. And for some reason it annoys me right now.

Oh well. Endore sent me an e-mail that I read today saying they’re deleting all files on the servers that are named “formmail.whatever” ’cause of spambots. ¬¬ So now I have to install Formmail on my own (and name the script something other than formmail). But I dun wanna. And I don’t want to install PHPFanbase for each fanlisting, ’cause then I’d have to add each and every single member to the list. x_X Unless I felt like being buggy and saying, “You. Rejoin the fanlisting because I’m too lazy to add you.”

Instead of doing any of those things I spent maybe 15–30 minutes writing a note explaining I won’t update until after the 15th (last day I have finals), and linking to that page from every formmail join page I have. (Only my Lisa Loeb and Miwako fanlistings are run by PHPFanbase.)

Uh. Stuck for what else to say. I got The Ring manga. ^^; It has an eye on the cover. And it’s staring at me right now. O.o Scaary.

You know … I would get a Borders card … and I found out today how to get there. ^^ (It’s like … go to Westside Pavilion … then drive past it until you get to … a street that starts with the letter R. Then turn right.) But then it’s muuch farther than I want to drive to a so-called local bookstore.

And I might get a Barnes and Noble card. But for some reason I just don’t go there often. Even though it’s about half the distance of Borders. It’s also less than half the manga selection that Borders has. :b Ooh, burned!

At Borders I was looking at Neil Gaiman books (veeery tiny selection o_o and absolutely no Neverwhere books XP), Robert A. Heinlein books (whoa, he wrote a lot o.o saw a few books I wanna read later ^^), manga (o’ course), aand … Sandman books! (Of course! :b)

I saw these old versions of Preludes & Nocturnes. o_o That was weird. What, do all the Borders customers already have the first Sandman collection? XD Then I stared at the 7, 9, and 10 they had. They also had lots of Sandman: King of Dreams. ^_^ Oh yeah, I saw that Sandman: Book of Dreams. -.- (Bad story behind the production.) And they had The Sandman Companion. o_o I wanted! I was gonna get it. But then I didn’t have enough money. ;_; Even without it, I had to borrow $11.84 from Mommy. They also had The Last Temptation. Wow. Cheap comic. ^_^;; Black and white (or yellow, considering they used newspaper quality paper *rolleyes*).

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.

everything I say is a lie

Hm. (I have to stop starting entries with that …) I just remembered this Word document I have, where I put all the lyrics I have songs to, or lyrics that I like, and last time I checked it was 325 pages … yeah, and I think by now my collection has about doubled, but I haven’t been adding lyrics to the document, they’ve just been going straight on my lyrics site. ^^;; I like the Word document because, if I were to ever want a lyric with a specific word in it … I’d just have to use Ctrl+F. :) Nifty, yo. But … meh. Lazy. I still have to update my lyrics site. o_O I’m trying to add credits to the lyrics, and I got up to The Cardigans and got scared. (I have six pages of lyrics for them. *nodnod*) So … yeah.

Watched Count of Monte Cristo. :D But the book is better many times over, definitely. (In the audio commentary: “If we followed the book perfectly, the film would be 35 or 40 hours long.” XD) Mommy and I watched Count of Monte Cristo from 7 to 10:30, then watched the extra stuff, then watched Dead Like Me (blue books … scary o_O), then I watched random tv (Simpsons – Bart: “Are you gonna eat that whole thing?” Homer: “Pinchy would have wanted it that way. *sob*”).

Then I remembered I left my laptop on. … Yeah. O.o;;; Getting off now, though …
