it’s kind of funny…

…this feeling inside. (I think if I’m gonna run my entry subjects into the entry itself then I should show the subject on the main page, shouldn’t I. ^^;; *doesn’t like showing that side of her weirdness so visibly*)

Hm. Stryker said “kind of Coldplay” about Snow Patrol. I never thought of that. But then again, I’ve only ever heard two of their songs. ^^; Run, which just played on the radio now (w00t, love new music, as long as it’s not Beastie Boys or … that other rap/rock group), and Spitting Games, of which the music video is on Launch.

I want Snow Patrol’s album, too. :b I want lots of music … and earlier this year, around January February, I was thinking that there was so little music that I wanted, and that it was sad, but I guess I’d just have to make do with the music I had … or go buy 60s music in CD form. (Mum has lots of 60s music, but it’s in vinyl form.)

*blink* Okay. The entry subject, right. This entry was gonna be about how while LJ was slow and all that last week, fs.net was always up whenever I wanted to access it. :b How weird. Today LJ was all nice (or, so far it has been), and today the first time I tried to go to fs.net I got a Cannot Find Server message. Ah well. I don’t know which one I’d rather have. I think LJ, but I’m kind of used to LJ being down. I don’t know why. I’ve never really had my website unaccessible for so long like this. Except when Endore went out of business. But whatever. I have a headache now. The kind that starts from my eyes. So now I’m done.

new project/site

Saturday, 26 June, 2004 at 10:54 pm

Just because I like creating new projects online and never really getting anywhere with them:

LJ graphics shtuff, a page for all my (old) graphics I made for Livejournal

Only the index page works. I haven’t made the layouts page or credit page. I really don’t care all that much about credit. :b But I needed a third link for the lj layout, so yeah. It’s very very … incomplete. Haha.

See, I was bored a day or two ago because ev_icons and (especially) ev_layouts were running kind of slow, so I started making this header because I’d just saved a bunch of new Amy Lee images. I finished it tonight, but I’m not really one to post in communities, and I’d been thinking about making something for all the old stuff I make. I didn’t want a photobucket gallery ’cause I knew people could hotlink it and my allotted bandwidth would run out. :b So geocities came to mind and yeah. There ya go.

oh the irony

How funny. My internet speed seems adequate at the moment. fs.net is even *gaspshock* up. Yet Livejournal, which had been working very well for me since … I forget … maybe early/middle May? is now not working very well. Pooh. And at a time when practically all I do online is connected to lj. Haha.

Oh well. Earlier getting off earlier to bed maybe earlier getting up. Or maybe I’ll stay up late reading. >D Hehehe …

Today I reached a landmark. I now have over 500 Amy Lee images on my computer. :O Mwahaha XD It’s all only 102 megs, though. *wants to burn stuff on CDs* Although my whole My Documents folder is 1.9 gigs. ^^;; My music folder is 3.2 gigs. But most of it is stuff I or my brothers already own. I think. So yeah.

I have $5. Go me. I just bought SM00’s birthday present, paid membership at lj. ^^ So I technically don’t have $5. Hidek owes me $7 and I need to put money in my bank account. Waldenbooks is also having this buy three (selected) books get the fourth one free. I wanna check that out. Despite my lack of funds. I also need need a CD rack because all my CDs are just sitting in stacks on the floor. The one I’m looking at is $25. Then there’s posters from Anime Castle. And lastly music, because my last new CD was Muse’s Absolution. I want Yeah Yeah Yeahs, New Found Glory, Maroon 5, or Sugarcult. ^^

losing my mind again

Monday, 15 March, 2004 at 9:47 pm

So fsnet has been back for a month now. Okay, a month and a day (too preoccupied to say this yesterday). And in that time, I have made a total of 6 posts. A year ago, a time when I didn’t update frequently (or so I thought) I made 15 posts in the same time period. I think I’ve lost my fondness for my blog. Heh, like that wasn’t obvious when I said I wouldn’t bring it back for a while … :b

Yeah, anyway, where was I going with this? Oh yeah. I still like fsnet, I wouldn’t get rid of it any time soon. But I’m just not in a journal-keeping mood. I mean, look at my lj a year ago, I was updating that thing almost daily. And now I’ve posted only a handful of times this past month. (Of course, I could make this point much more easily if I could LOOK at my journal archives … ¬.¬ *thinks evil thoughts of Livejournal’s servers*) I think the reason why I haven’t been updating is because I’m in a whiny mood, and I don’t want to annoy anyone. :b I don’t want to constantly complain about schoolwork or whatnot. (Hm, m-w.com has a definition for whatnot, it is a real word! XP) … (And the longer I stare at “m-w,” the more it looks like a face with someone holding their hands up in front of their face … like one hand has the fingers down, and the other hand has the fingers up … yeah, I think I’ve had too much internet … is five straight years too long?)

Nothing else happens in my life. What did I do this past week? I did math homework, I thought about my Color & Design project, then constructed it, I read a biography on Mary Leakey over the weekend, I typed up an econ outline which I did not print out and thusly could not turn in today … I ate, I bathed, I brushed, I slept, I dreamed, I breathed, I read blogs and journals (lately I’ve been reading only four blogs and three journals, not counting my friends list; very few for me), I made lj icons, I looked at Evanescence icons, I watched Whale Rider, I … listened to music … I drove … I stressed … and there’s my week. In a very tiny paragraph.

Ooh, that leads so nicely into my next point. I didn’t even plan it. XD

I don’t like GM so much anymore. I’m not saying I dislike it, I just don’t want to use it anymore. (Hm, is there so much of a difference there?) I don’t like the idea of writing something short that takes up space on my website. And yet that’s all I really have to post, lately. But I don’t want to clog up my friends’ friends pages with all that. So I’d like to make a blog that was not stored on my server, and also didn’t have any friends on it. But I don’t want to pay for layout-making privileges either. :b So I was thinking about getting a Mindsay account. But then I’d have to make fs.net point to that place, and then I’d have to link all the other pages back to this spot (like the groups page, links page, and other stuff). And I’m not sure that I can totally customize the layout.

Hmm … the only other place I can think of is GreatestJournal, but I already have one, and I don’t want to use it, ’cause it’s private, and I don’t want to pollute Christine’s friends page, but I also don’t want to sign in and out … @_@ Blah. I don’t know of any other good places.

Now I’ve lost my train of thought ’cause I was thinking of GJ. XP Well. Last thought that doesn’t really have to do with the rest of the entry. For some reason, even though they look perfectly fine on my computer, when I upload the cgi files of old entries I have, they get corrupted and change. Although, after downloading the first entry, correcting it, and uploading it again, it seems like all the other entries have changed back nicely as well. o_O I just found that out while looking for an example of how it changes. ^_^;;; Well, as much as I remember, the first entry had, on the first line, all that date title time etc info, then it had |yes|yes|closed|||no| even though the copy on my computer said |yes|yes|open, and I uploaded that two or three or more times, and the bad version on the server wouldn’t change. -.- Well, we’ll just see if what I did really fixed it, when I rebuild all the files … if not, I’m giving up, and just saving all my old entries as txt files and starting all over again without GM somewhere.

On a fairly unrelated note (it’s still about my blog), checking my url referrers earlier tonight, I discovered that someone found my blog because they were looking for an image of a “japanese girl” and found my picture that I uploaded a LONG time ago … *shudder* I don’t want to know why someone wanted a pic of a Japanese girl, and I really don’t want to know why Google still has it in their database. But at least it was a really really tiny pic of me, so if you saw it, then saw me, you couldn’t really tell it was me. :b

edit: Dang, didn’t work. -.- What to do, what to do … *is too lazy to save all 200+ cgi files as txt files*
edit2: YEAH! XD I now have a 00000001.shtml page! AND my archive index actually lists it! XDDDDD
edit3: I guess this means I have to edit each individual entry through Greymatter and mark it as open. >_> *too lazy*

this blog

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.
