beating out perfections

Argh, I’m losing faith in fanlistings. -.- Firstly, the first fanlisting I ever [attempted to] join was one for Léon (aka The Professional), but then I noticed that the last updated date was not the same as the last date on her updates list (go check it out, you’ll see), and I realized she used a current date script for the last update thing. -.-;;;; Her site’s on hiatus, as well. For the looongest time.

The next one, The Cardigans. >( ARGH. I don’t know if her join form for that fanlisting is broken or what, but I know there’s someone else who joined (she joined my Gran Turismo fanlisting as well ^^) that wasn’t added. Plus, on her blog, she updates like once every month or so. >_< *sniffles*

Then the fanlisting for Amy Lee, I’m not po’ed about that one. She’s been rebuilding her site since the middle of June and before. Yupyup. But for some reason it doesn’t matter to me. That fanlisting hasn’t been updated since the end of May. ^.^; Then the fanlisting for Eat Drink Man Woman. I’m rather sad that hasn’t been updated since March. :( But she said that people don’t join, so it doesn’t really matter. Even though it means I haven’t been added to the members list. ^_^;; I don’t really mind. It’s just that she’s on the troubles list now for not updating. T-T

My Song isn’t a fanlisting, it’s a clique, but still, she said she’d update pretty much last week, and yet … nothing. It’s a really big clique though. o.o And I’ve got my luverly code up, so I don’t mind much. ^^

The last fanlisting I joined (umm … that I haven’t been added to) is the Yoshi fanlisting. :( She updated, but I wasn’t added to the list. I dunno why. I was gonna rejoin, but then the join form is closed. >.<!! Today I joined another clique, “we’re all a little fragile.” It looks like she updates at least twice a month. But watch, with my luck, something’ll come up so she doesn’t update for a while.

I’m not kidding. There were so many fanlistings I joined that weren’t updated for a loong while after. The Beatles fanlisting, Audrey Hepburn, guinea pigs (but it came back up ^_^), Gregory Smith, Snoopy, Evanescence … which reminds me. I joined the Gordo fanlisting, but it went down (her server went down and she lost all her files), and then I decided I wasn’t that big of a fan, so I took the code down. ^.^;; I should change that.

Oh well. I’m bored. I feel like putting this here. :)

pink layouts, emperors, and a Sandman quote

You know what’s odd? I’ve been to … three different bookstores, and all three had only one volume of The Sandman series, and not the same one, either. And most definitely not the first one, either, otherwise I’d have it. >:

Today I finished the new layout for my diary (which you are still not allowed to read, SM00). I think I got tired of the black and darkness of the Tsuda layout, because this one’s PINK, and has white text. Well, it’s kind of a salmon/red pink. Not too bad, I don’t think. I don’t really know, I don’t hate pink, so I can’t tell if it’s bad or not. The only thing I don’t like is that I needed almost 15 images to make the layout, and I used div layers. ^^’ I’ve got a policy for my diary: simple coding, few images, simple layouts. It’s ’cause I use Netscape 4.5 (or is it 4.7?) to update my diary. Ah well. Maybe I’ll get tired of it quickly.

After dinner watched The Last Emperor with Mommy. O_O Umm … Good movie. Very. Asians look kinda cute in 20s/30s styles. ^__^ I want a haircut kinda like that wannabe pilot lady. Not so short in the back, though … I’m talking about the one she had when she first showed up. I didn’t know there was a Manchuria during World War II. Saw some footage … asked Mommy, and she said it’s probably real. *shudders* She asked, “What’s worse? The killing of [I forget the number] by one person or one million killing 200,000?”

Mm. Anyway.

“Without individuals we see only numbers: a thousand dead, a hundred thousand dead, ‘casualties may rise to a million.’ With individual stories, the statistics become people—but even that is a lie, for the people continue to suffer in numbers that themselves are numbing and meaningless. Look, see the child’s swollen, swollen belly, and the flies that crawl at the corners of his eyes, his skeletal limbs: will it make it easier for you to know his name, his age, his dreams, his fears? To see him from the inside? And if it does, are we not doing a disservice to his sister, who lies in the searing dust beside him, a distorted, distended caricature of a human child? And there, if we feel for them, are they now more important to us than a thousand other children touched by the same famine, a thousand other young lives who will soon be food for the flies’ own myriad squirming children?”
Neil Gaiman, American Gods

You know … that doesn’t make much sense to me. Of course, it can’t help that both times I read it was after midnight. But it’s still worded so nicely …

hair, cosplay idea, and b2

I braided my hair last night while it was wet to make it wavy/curly/whatever, but the waves brushed out and now it’s practically flat. ;-; My hair is mean. When I try to brush it straight it goes poufy. When I try to make it curl, it goes flat. ^^; I should really use more traditional methods … but I don’t like heat on my hair, and I’m too lazy to use conditioner. ^.^;

Well, I figured if I did my hair this way and actually figured a way to make it more curly, then put it up in pigtails (like Miwako! ^__^), and got one of Miwako’s outfits together, I could cosplay her. XD ‘Cept I wouldn’t dye my hair whatever color hers is. (I can’t remember all of a sudden O.o) Then I thought maybe I could get an outfit that Yukari wore, and put my hair up that way (because she did it before). But I don’t have the extremely good looks or the loong legs. Pooh. :b But I am NOT dying my hair!

Then again, it’s not like I’d have a chance to cosplay. >_> *sigh* Oh well.

Oh yeah. I think I’m gonna try b2. Acause someone said GM is a bandwidth hog (maybe just when you rebuild everything?) and quite a few servers don’t allow GM to be run on them, and that it’s old software anyway. Um. Something like that. And besides. I keep feeling like changing my archives/entries/etc. pages, but I don’t want to rebuild everything. x_x I also feel like making a pop-up comments page or something. ^^; I dunno why. I don’t like pop-ups at all. Odd, no?

hair! hair!

I was sitting on the sofa listening to music while doing whatall on my laptop with my hair down, when Hidek’s friend looked at me.

“Ahhh! It’s the girl from the Ring!”

Does that mean I need a haircut? :b

Then Mommy said I look like I’m going for a “Lady Godiva look.” o_o;;

But I was just thinking earlier that my hair needs to grow just a leetle more and it’d be great.

Actually, before that, I was thinking about cutting my hair like Yuki on my wallpaper. I forget what that style’s called. Well, maybe I’d like that lady’s hair from Ran. It’s similar. Just no bangs. Get the idea? Ancient Japan, but … not so ancient.
