just getting sidetracked…

Saturday, 6 November, 2004 at 11:54 am

Getting sidetracked. ^^;; I don’t really feel like writing my chem report. >_>

Anyway. Yesterday I tried using the cable to connect my laptop and it worked relatively nicely. I just couldn’t move anything. It was good until my brother sat on the cable because he was playing GCN and the cable was in the area he usually puts his chair. So I got disconnected and couldn’t reconnect for a while … So! Today I decided to suck it up and just put in the wireless card … it started up in maybe an hour? That part wasn’t so bad, I just read stuff, but then I couldn’t pick up on any wireless signals. I restarted, still couldn’t get a connection. Didn’t feel like working on that lithium report, so I went on Mum and Daddy’s comp. Aaaand … voila!

9. Richard Petty Driving Experience
6975 Speedway Blvd Ste D106, Las Vegas, NV
Put the pedal down at the Speedway and top 100 mph without fear of being pulled over.–10 Things to Do in Vegas Before You Die.

I wanna try that! Muahahahahaha!!! … On Thursday I saw one car pulled over on the freeway and then a few minutes later I saw another car get pulled over … made me all paranoid so I was going 65/70 in the third lane. ^^;; I’m sure I annoyed people behind me. Too bad. Seriously. The one and two lanes were open … go around me!! And I got better mileage than they did! >D

I was looking at those things to do lists because I thought they’d have better stuff … like in Sacramento I’d do about half the things they listed. But for LA I’d only do one or two things. There is much more to LA than Hollywood and clubs, seriously. That’s what annoys me about my chem class, they talk about LA in the superficial sense. :b

Other thing: I saw Gwen Stefani’s “Harajuku Girls” performance. First, what the egl community said (on lj): generally that Gwen is bad or that one song is bad, musically (I don’t disagree ^^;), and that she terribly warped egl and that all her fans will be getting into Japanese fashion through her version, but that also she didn’t specify which fashion style she liked … yeah, that’s pretty much it. What I say: meh. Gwen Stefani’s skirt was kinda lolita-ish, but other than that … it seemed more like she was talking about other styles.

Oh yeah. People in the egl comm said she name-dropped at the end of the song. I couldn’t really understand what she was saying after a while, so I didn’t catch that part. ^_^;; I think, at least partially, that she just really likes this style, and wanted to spread it around. egl-ers are just really strict about their fashion sometimes. :b I was thinking that way for a little while … ‘Oh, you can’t wear/do that, that’s not real egl!’ But after a while I stopped wanting to wear egl so much (because it costs so much if you don’t sew your own clothes ;.;) and I just accepted whatever fashion I could get.

Now I’m just … well firstly I don’t think I’m brave enough to wear the clothes I really want to. :b~ Secondly all I can really buy is what’s at the mall. Thirdly I don’t have enough time to learn how to sew, and fourthly I don’t want to go to thrift stores. The only one I know about is on W-street and I don’t want to drive there. hah

But yesterday I bought this long swooshy black skirt that kinda reminds me of something Amy Lee would wear (but is NOT the reason I bought it)!! :D At the moment I’m wondering if I have black tights that I could wear underneath another skirt I bought (and have yet to wear) and with my boots.

new layout – Avril

Tuesday, 13 July, 2004 at 11:15 pm

Okay, new layout. :) It’s just Avril Lavigne with a brush I made all over the piccie. ^^; Too lazy to fix up the rest of the coding ’cause my touchpad won’t scroll. >.>

For a little while after I restarted my laptop after installing the Windows updates, IE wouldn’t open. O.o And whenever I tried to open an html document on my computer it couldn’t be found. Weird. But everything works now. I hope. Yeah.

So. The other day I found this site, alavigne.com (I think it is) ’cause I wanted to see more Avril piccies of her wearing … I dunno, whatever “they” called it. Just basically what she’s wearing in the pic above. ^.^ I think she’s lucky. >O I want that skirt!

And … I have gone in less of an egl/ega direction and more in a punk goth loli … oh well! ^_^

second Ontario Mills trip

Sunday, 27 June, 2004 at 12:10 am

I don’t know if I wrote about the first trip somewhere anywhere (I doubt it; I don’t even remember when it was), but here’s a summary of my second one. ^^;

Mickey had to practice driving to school, or so Daddy decided, and somehow it turned into a big trip to the Ontario Mills Outlet Mall. I was happy. Haha. Um. Didn’t want to go (and be a bother and slow down the strolling with my visiting of shops) if Hidek wasn’t going (because if Hidek didn’t go it would have been a smaller trip, nothing big, blah blah blah). But Hidek went. Yay. :) Brought my CD player with The Strokes’ Room on Fire and Dashboard Confessional’s A Mark, a Mission, a Brand, a Scar (I hope I got that right), Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (rereading the series during the summer), and my purse with $30 in it. XD

Short summary of the whole mall part: used the restroom twice (felt queasy, had drunk water before leaving, along with my hot cocoa and orange juice at breakfy, then had soda at the mall [with Burger King fries :)] to ease my headache-y-ness), looked through a couple shoe stores, the bargain bookstore (saw a cuuute picture book of this girl and her guinea pig that she let go because she didn’t want a “pet for babies” and missed it and he came home and it was cuuuute), stared in Charlotte Russe and Hot Topic from the food court, decided not to go in Forever 21 because it was all bright neon-y (not really) colored and too spring-like for me, went in Anchor Blue got two jeans in a $19.99 sale w00t, saw this anime cart started looking through the wallscrolls nothing, staring at the Inuyasha t-shirt but nonono I don’t wear print t-shirts, especially of such a popular male character (but now I’m wishing I had it >b maybe I could have modified it somehow), looked through Sam Ash (?) music store looked through JCPenney’s saw a nice tank but wasn’t in my size looked for a plain white button-up blouse couldn’t find one left.

Muah. That was it. Oh yeah. I saw New Found Glory’s Catalyst (for $15) and Yeah Yeah Yeah’s Fever to Tell (for $13). Am now wishing I had bought the YYYs album. :( But hey, I guess I should say I have some money to deposit in the bank.

We had KFC for dinner. I suggested El Pollo Loco but I guess someone else wanted KFC instead. Oh well. We got a Dale Jr. bucket! XDD I think Mickey wants it. >_> I hope it isn’t too greasy or anything to keep nicely.

I think that’s a nice wrap of my day.

Oh yeah. I saw this headwrap/”scarf” thing at Anchor Blue. It was $6.50, pinkish and yellow/beige, and I was thinking I could use it to tie through my belt loops instead of a heavy belt. Nice touch of pink in my outfit. But I didn’t know at the time that Mum was at the counter how much it cost. Also, it didn’t look like it’d look, er, fluffy enough tied in the belt loops. I’m guessing that’s true. Oh well. Shall have to keep looking diligently for scarves. :)

Also saw lots of knit um, things you pull over your head and it just sits on your shoulders. Kind of like a poncho, but much more stylish. Yeah. See. I was thinking of knitting one of those things for myself. I didn’t even know they were in style again (looking through old Teen mags, they claimed knit things were the fad, although I don’t recall anyone wearing them).

I looked at how this one knit thing was made, and I totally don’t know how that was done. o.o It looked like knit togethers were used and there were huge holes and then everything spread out again (don’t know how, maybe make one or something?) but yeah there were huge holes and I just have no idea how that was done. ^^;; I also don’t know where to get such fine/thin wool. :( I guess I’ll just have to buy it. Or look for an online wool store or something. ^^;

(12:28! woo)

more blog news stuff

Tuesday, 16 March, 2004 at 10:25 pm

Yay, I have entry pages for entries 1 through 30. See how productive I was today? Haha.

Now I’m undecided. Do I sign up for an account at some journal site? Or do I not? If I do, then I have yet another journal account. @.@ And it wouldn’t be on my server. If I don’t, then I’m stuck with Greymatter, and I don’t want to keep racking up these entries that I have to carry around with me every time I change servers. But I’m gonna get hosting for fs.net in the next few months, what would I do with that journal account then? But if I don’t get a journal, I wouldn’t update my blog, ’cause I don’t wanna use Greymatter.

And other thoughts that I can’t quite form in my brain and put in order here. Mm. *shrugs*

Well, either way, I’m trying to make a new layout. Except PSP 8 is so slooow. :| I dunno how it compares to PS, memory and space and whatever else wise, but it’s still slower than PS. Although it takes like half a second shorter to load up. XP And just now, when I hit “save” then went to another window, it said PSP did something or other and had to be closed, and bleh. So I dunno if it saved, Ha Ha Ha. Doesn’t matter, I’m not sure I like it all that much after all.

But still. PS never has to be closed. Well, except when I select the window to close it and then close it, but all the display windows are still struggling to show up, then Windows tells me it’s not responding, do I want to end it immediately? I just hit no and it closes on its own time. *shrugs* I think the only good PSP 8 does is give me more filters and stuff to mess with. :P

That reminds me … PS 8 came out recently, didn’t it? Hmmm … *dreams* I think it comes with Adobe Illustrator as well? I don’t really know what I’d do with that, I just want it. :b I dunno, I forget what I read. I forget where I got the link to the page that I read. o_O

No, what I really want at the moment is a computer that could handle PS and PSP 8 and … whatever else. Ooh. I would like a computer that I could play Rollercoaster Tycoon and Starcraft on without the graphics being all fuzzy. Yes, that would be nice. But it cannot be had. Maybe when I go to Cal Poly. No, definitely when I go to Cal Poly. ¬.¬ I’m not gonna take graphics classes with a laptop that has only 256 ram, and absolutely no space for more.

I’m being random. Oh well. To add to the randomness … my immediate wants are Paradise Kiss 5 and The Strokes’s album that isn’t Room on Fire (I keep forgetting the name of it). Yeah. And a nice red shirt. Or tank top. I have one old red shirt that’s faded and that the cats pulled a couple threads out of, so it looks ratty, and I have an almost brand new tank top from Forever 21, the Asian one with all the gold glitter on it, but it has glitter on it, and I don’t like wearing it around just anywhere.

I never mentioned that I found out over winter break that the mall now has a Charlotte Russe store. :D Verah cool. Great fun. Except it’s too expensive. :( Oh well. Need sleep badly now.

are you who you wanna be?

Monday, 22 December, 2003 at 2:44 am

Why am I still up? I don’t really know. o_O It was midnight such a short while ago … I brushed my teeth, then sat down at my desk, and I decided to make a header for lj.com/thefreakishjedi. I’m trying to use Ellie from Degrassi TNG. ^^’ But the images aren’t that great. :/ So I was messing around in PSP and PS both (believe me, it made me dizzy) trying to make it look better but blah I’m just not that good so then I decided to make it a grungy image and stuff but then I didn’t really know how to make it grungy without grungy brushes, but I don’t like using brushes because then I always have to give credit for the brushes and it’s like I didn’t do the work and uh this run-on sentence is getting boring so yeah.

Then I went searching for grunge brush making tutorials, and I found lots of nice ones, but since it’s past midnight I don’t really feel like reading the instructions and I’m just skimming and that’s taking me longer because I keep going back to reread stuff I didn’t really take in. Also, they’re good tutorials, but I just need more practice. Or more sleep. Or both. :b Oh well. Yeah.

I was thinking about using this one header offered on the Ev_Icons community on LJ. It looks sooo nice. But, you know me, I just need to be picky that way and make allll my own stuff. Blah.

Anyway. What did I do today? I went on my laptop and updated about half the codes on my joined page. Yeah, that took me a few hours. ^^;; But isn’t it so pweeeetty? :D In the middle of that I was interrupted by Uncle R and Grandma and Grandpa coming over with Chinese take-out for Grandpa’s birthday. :D So we ate and sat around for a few hours. Then I finished my codes. Then … stuff that I can’t really remember.

Then at 10:30 Mommy had me use PayPal to pay for my two ebay items. I’m wondering if I should regret buying these two things. ^^;; One’s a velvet dress, shortsleeved with shortish skirt, and the other’s a short velvet skirt. Is velvet a very terrible material? I was thinking that maybe I could kind of uh, make adjustments to *coughtotallyruincough* the dress and make it kind of EGL-inspired. It wouldn’t really be EGL because I’m not that into ruffles and because the skirt is too short (unless I put something under to lengthen it? *shrug* and I don’t think there’s much room to wear petticoats underneath.

Oh well. Aaaaanyway. On Saturday Mickey made me wash my car with him. *sniffle* He was so mean. :b Blegh, whatever, I was being my usual slow self and he washed over half the car, and he also did everything that had to do with the hose (too cooooold), and he washed my wheel rims for me. And he used all his car products that he bought with his own money. ^-^ My brother’s so wonderful. He also put air in my tires. ^^; I’m not strong enough to attach the pump to the tire. Blah. Weakling, I am. And now my car is all clean and shinny. Yes, shinny.

Yeahhh … now, tomorrow I’ll go to bed at a reasonable time … I hope. Well, at least it’s not the weekend and Mum won’t wake me up early (ie 10 am :b) to eat breakfy. Mm. Dunno. I really should stop going on the computer after dinner. x_< My will is slowly being chipped away by the ebil compi.
