Wow, what a day. After I posted here...what did I do? Hm...I know I watched the second season of Gargoyles again. Oh yeah, I was making raspberry green tea and Reiko called. She has a new boy friend (wonder among wonders), but this one actually seems to have his act together. 24, has a good job, makes $500 a week. We’ll have to see how things go. Anyway. I started watching Gargoyles while we were ‘talking’...she was crunching on ice and talking about...what the hell was she talking about? At one point it was about a Mexican rapper or something...And somewhere in there my sexuality came into question since I kept saying that Fox was really hot. But, come on, her name is Fox for the love of pizza! They don’t call her Fox for nothing, ya know! Reiko said something about me being a lesbian, to which I responded with something like ‘Nuh-uh! I’m bi!’ and she’s like ‘Seriously?’ and I’m like, ‘No, dumbass.’ And she’s like ‘Oh, cuz sometimes…’ and I’m like, ‘Oh, you backstabbing, cockbite!’ and she laughed because it’s a red vs blue thing! I then calmly explained that I like guys, but even I can tell when a chika is hot. After all, I didn’t hear her complaining when I compliment her very nice ass.

Ok...so after that, I read some more in my new D&D book. I enjoy reading RPG books for the simple fact that they get my creative juices going. It makes me want to write stuff. And MM writing is a very happy MM. I think it’s one of the reasons I enjoy buying RPG books so much. I’ve got all these ideas for my different races inside my head, and I’m not sure how I should describe them, or how the science of the race will work. Seeing how other people work science on the other races gets my brain working in a scientific way, thus solving the problem. rattgirl sent me a guide to the Dark Sun RPG, which I will be eternally grateful for. They have some races and classes in there I’ve never even heard of before, which is a first for me. Usually when someone mentions Wizards I have an idea of what they are, but it sounds like they’re something completely different in Dark Sun. And the Half Elves seem way different from what I’m used to. I mean, I’ve mostly got all the EverQuest RPG books, and I’ve only recently started getting the D&D books...I only have the Draconomicon and now I have the Races of the Wild book. Other than that, I got nothin’ D&Dish. Which, in an average RPGers collection, is basically nothing. I swear, this has become a terrible obsession >___< Oh well, it’s helping me to develop my world and all the characters in it better. Either that, or it’s bogging me down, and I’m drowning in the fountain of too much information.

What else did I do today? Oh yeah, I updated Sloths Gone Mad. Nothing really huge, I just removed the frames...which, was really huge...for me, but not for anyone else. I’m getting ready to put up new stuff...the Orvil page along with the Color Bar page. I just have to tweak the graphics.

Watched Gilmore Girls rerun with Mom right after we watched Wife Swap or...Trading Spouses...I think it was Wife Swap. One comes on on Fridays and the other is Mondays. I just can’t keep them separate. Then we watched CSI: Miami. So glad that they aren’t rerunning anymore.

Speaking of not rerunning, can’t wait for Survivor this week. I used to have that show, but since I started taping it for the rents, it’s become a family tradition. We all watch Survivor together and talk about the craziness. And CSI should be interesting as well...then again they all are. I find myself even watching reruns...I know what’s gonna happen. I remember everything. But I still enjoy watching them. I’m pretty sure that’s some part of the OCD contract.

My hair is now dry...and it’s crinkly and curly and sticking out from my head with strange twists in it...The bad part about cutting my hair is that it makes it high maintenance. I told Mom that I’d love to be able to just shave my head. She said I could, but then I asked her what she think that’d do to my job prospects. We both agreed that it wouldn’t be a good career move considering my chosen profession.

Man...there are a lot of tags on this entry. Maybe I should shut up before it gets to be too long.

On that note, I’m hungry. I’m gonna go get something to eat and then take my pills. Goodnight.

Super Pig! I cannot believe the day I’ve had. I haven’t even done much, for Huffelpuff’s sake! I’ve been trying to move my web site around. You know, break the huge file into individual smaller files so that I can actually put them on web sites without Tripod flipping me off. Well, then I realized there were several sections that needed attention graphics wise. Now usually I tend to the graphics on the other computer (it has Corel Draw on it and I work best on that), but I try to limit the amount of work that I do graphics wise so that I can keep my ever-fragile grip on sanity. So, I finished up most of the graphics for the ‘Fun Stuff’ section. It’s a section for fun things that I do (Dollz, Sheeps, Graduation and Convention are the main features).

Well, I decided to check and see how much space was on the fun section to see if it would need a section all to itself. It’s something like 65 friggin’ MB! I only just realized that my pictures from the AWA convention are like 61 MB in all. So I’m now going through them to see what’s what, and I realized that all the AWA pics are like 2032 X 1524 (pixel of course). That’s a huge pictures. And since these are pictures from when I first got my camera, and I wasn’t good at taking pictures; I don’t really want to have huge fuzzy pics up there. So all the pics are being resized to 1024 X 768 pixels. It seems to be decreasing the size by half. If it still isn’t down, I may try converting to 800 X 600...we’ll see.

Other than that I’ve been doing a lot of reading and writing. Sometimes I just get that yen and I go on a roll. I knew that I was probably taking it to the extreme hermit-crab stage when Dad kept checking in on me. I was thinking about how he was getting a little obsessive since I’d only been in here a little while and then I looked at the clock and realized it’d been about, oh, 8 hours. O.O yeah. Sometimes I just want to read, and I can do that for hours on end. But then there are times when I read, and the reading makes me really want to write. And it was one of those on-again, off-again things again this time.

Mom has been so sick today. Dad said she woke up at 4 something in the morning and was so nauseous and sick. She’s done little more than sip soup, suck on pop cycles, and lay around. I hope she feels better in the morning. Unfortunately, since Mom’s immune system was whipped out by Hepatitis B she just doesn’t recover as fast as she used to.

Oh yeah...that job interview. It went kinda well in the fact that I think he thought I was descent. Otherwise it was a bust. Guy wanted me to work 8-5 Mon-Fri, and then travel around with him to local places to set up presentations, and he didn’t have any benefits. I mean, I don’t have insurance (health insurance that is), and that’s a huge issue. If I’m gonna put all this effort into your business, then you had better be watching my back. So, after the interview, I called my contact lady at the Staffing place and told her to turn him down if he chose me. It’s just too much responsibility too quick for me.

Other than that, life’s been blissfully quiet. I’ve taken my shower, and my pills and I should be off to bed as soon as I can tear myself away from Dream Weaver. So, before I drop from the pills, goodnight everyone.

You're a very sensitive soul. You haven't grown that thick skin that most adults have. Easily hurt, you tend to retreat to your comfort zone. You don't let many people in - unless you've trusted them for a long time.

Yo. It feels like I haven’t posted in forever when really it was only a day without posting. For someone who can do up to 4 posts a day when she gets excited, that feels like a stretch.

Ok, so yesterday I was just feeling blah, you know? It was just a bad case of restless indifferent slothfulness. It sucked. I wasn’t feeling great about where I was or what I was doing, so I did what I always do when that happens; I submersed myself in fan fiction and did nothing else.

By night, I realized I really hadn’t done anything. So, I got on AMOS and hacked away at the old web site. Found a few things that were wrong with the EQ Characters site that I fixed. Then, I started looking over the unfinished site, and realized I have a hell of a lot of work to do.

I did a lot of stuff graphics-wise and sorting-wise, but it feels like I’ve done nothing. I went to bed around 10:30 feeling kinda bad.

I woke up around 2:43 a.m. I was nauseous and hungry-ish. I had gone to bed kinda hungry, but I really didn’t want to eat since Mom and Dad had already gone to bed too. So at 2:45 I slipped into the kitchen and poured out the reminder of the freshly squeezed orange juice Mom and I had made together a couple of days ago. I took a couple of sips, went to the bathroom, and threw up. It was one of those things where you feel terrible while it’s happening, but once it’s over it’s like a relief...kinda like peeling off a scab or something. My relief didn’t last too long. I tried to go back to bed, but I couldn’t sleep. So around 3:20 I slipped back into the kitchen for some water. Threw that up too. I tossed, I turned, I hoped, I prayed, I debated whether I should wake the rents (they’re always so concerned about those things, even though they can’t do anything about them). Then I said to myself, “I’m not sleeping anyway, I might as well try a popsicle.” Mom buys these Dole popsicles. They’re supposedly made from real fruit juice, and there’s less sugar than other brands. So, it took me a while to eat the thing, because my stomach was still so jumpy. I just layed there and bit off a small chunk, then sucked on it till it had melted. After the popsicle was done, I tried to get back to sleep. It took over an hour for my stomach to stop rolling, but I finally did get to sleep.

I slept so hard though, that I didn’t really enjoy it. Then I woke up feeling weird, and told Mom and Dad what had happened. I had a cup of coffee and some peaches for breakfast because I was still feeling terrible.

Then Mom announces that she and Dad need to head to Wal-Mart. And I know that I should go with them, because a lot of the times, they don’t know exactly what to buy me, so it just helps things go a lot smoother if I’m actually there. So, I agreed to go. I dressed comfortably and we headed out. While there, there were a couple of things I noticed, that I’d really like to point out right now.

Our Wal-Mart is being remodeled inside. At first, things were really subtle...a few of the tiles on the floors were missing, some of the departments had actually been moved without anyone seeing it happen, Wal-Mart employees doing a rather impressive impersonation of headless chickens. That sort of thing. But then, we went today and the clothing department had wood flooring. Or at least mock wood flooring...The eye glasses place is boarded up, meaning we’ve got more of a bottleneck to get across the store after check out. All the aisles are facing a different direction, and almost all of the departments are in a different place. The only places thus far that have yet to be moved are the pharmacy, hair, makeup, soaps, and grocery sections. The clothes are all in the same place (mostly), they’re just mixed up...they’re still in the center of the store and all, it’s just that the women’s clothes are where the men’s were...I don’t know where the men’s clothes are; I don’t shop for men.

Ok, I did not know this, but evidently everyone else did. I hate it when people think you know something, so they decide not to tell you. Honestly, how’s anyone gonna learn with that philosophy in mind? Anyway, I found out that Wal-Mart sells Pocky. Seriously. My Wal-Mart has dark chocolate and strawberry flavored Pokcy. And since Strawberry Pocky is one of my favorite snacks, I’ve been buying like 2-4 boxes every time that I visit Wal-Mart. When I tell all my friends that there’s Pocky at Wal-Mart they’re all like, “Oh yeah. I knew that...” and I’m like, “Waterfalls?” In our place it’s near the coffee section, in with other Japanese-ish stuff like Meso Soup and such.

Also another thing that’s always made me laugh about Wal-mart; birds. Alfred Hitchcock would be scared shitless! There are crows and other types of birds all over our parking lot. And not just Wal-Mart (although there seem to be more of them there), they’re in all the parking lots. Now, I’m sure that that isn’t anything new. I’m betting that anyone who reads this will think, “Yeah, my Wal-Mart has a lot of birds in the parking lots too.” This is what I’ve noticed though. Sea gulls. That’s right, sea gulls. They’re all over the parking lot all the time. It’s weird. I mean, they’re sea gulls, right? Shouldn’t they be at the Sea? It’s like that old joke, “Why do Sea gulls only fly over the sea? Because if they flew over Bays they be Bay Gulls.” Well, I guess we have Parking Lot Gulls. Waterfalls? I mean, I often wondered if the states that are close to large bodies of water have sea gulls in their parking lots...

Ok, rants over...for now. I’ll get my second wind eventually. So, yeah, we went to town and I still felt miserable, but it was one of those ‘just deal’ moments. I came home, and I finally wrote out that letter to Odango (chaineddove). I only started writing the damn thing 4 days ago...or...something...no wait, I started writing on the 8th...it’s the 13th...that’s like, 6 days. Dude. I suck. Oh well, I finally got it all typed up (even the envelope) and it’s stamped and ready to go. It’ll go out with Monday’s mail.

Speaking of mail; yesterday, I ordered the first volume of the second season of Gargoyles. I ordered it yesterday.../thinks...yesterday mid-morning I suppose. I just had the extra money, and I was like, “Ok, I have $50 extra, I’m bored outta my mind...oh...second season Gargoyles...Cha-ha-ha.” So, I ordered it, and then 2 seconds later I get a confirmation of the thing going through, then I get a note from the seller (I bought used/new) saying it’s in the mail today. I was so stoked. So, it went out with Friday’s mail. I was happy about that. It means I’ll be getting it sooner. I’m so happy.

Other than that I’ve been varying between working on my web site and watching Tenchi Universe. I know it’s not the best anime, but it makes me laugh. That’s all I need. I’m still a bit confused why Tenchi in Tokyo doesn’t have it’s on box set...I don’t buy individual DVDs when it comes to anime. If it’s not in a box set, then I’m not gonna get it...9 times out of 10 that is.

Oh well. I still have a few things I’d like to tweak on my web site, and tomorrow will come early as always. So I shall now sign off. Goodnight.

Ok...another day. Gosh, our days have been so bad since we all got sick. I mean, honestly. We haven’t really felt like doing much or going anywhere or anything. It’s sickening just to think of how...well, sick we are. Mom’s much worse than I am. But either way you look at it, I have not been the happiest psycho bunnie for the past week.

So, today. Today Mom and I watched last night’s CSI. So very very glad they had a new one! And this one was good too! I had figured that the case would have something to do with modern werewolfism. The way people treat those poor people. Talk about something that’s sickening.

Oh! There has been this little mocking bird that comes up near my window for the past five days or so. I don’t remember mentioning him, so I’ll just mention him now. I got Dad a outdoor cooking thingamummy. It’s for frying stuff, but it’s for outside. You put pots on it and fry stuff...anyway. Dad set it up outside and he put a couple of pots on it and it’s stayed there fairly well considering the weather. Well, for the past five or so days, a little mocking bird has come up and lighted on the pot that’s on the burner thingy. He stands on the rim of the pot and looks around, and then he jumps down in the pot. And he pecks about, and then he glances up and about to see if anything’s gotten closer, then he pecks some more, then he pops his head up again, and he continues to do it for a solid two minutes or so. Then, he’ll jump back up on the pot and stay there for a while, and then after a while he’ll just fly off. I’d love to know what he (or she, come to think of it) likes so much about that pot...

Anyway. After I last posted here, I got to brainstorming. And I thought it might be fun if all of the Sloths up on Sloths Gone Mad had their colorbars. So I made a few more over on the other computer, and I like ‘em! Here they are.

Nice. I’ve spent the rest of the day fooling around with PhotoBucket and MySpace (but not at the same time). Truth of the matter is, I don’t have that many friends on My Space, so I was checking to see if maybe some people that I knew in town on there. I found one possible person that I might actually have known way back when, and I added rattgirl to my friends there (much love, sister. Much love). You know you’re not the most sociable person when you go to your MySpcae and it has the new feature of rearranging your top eight, and you can’t do it because you don’t have eight friends.

Other than that, I’ve been fooling around with DreamWeaver a bit, but it still won’t connect to the FTP server and I still don’t know why. Too much longer, and I’ll be contacting Tripod...or Chibi. But most likely tripod.

Oh well. That’s all for tonight. My head hurts and I must shower. I hope I don’t wake up with my head throbbing tomorrow. Goodnight.

Today isn’t really worth much mention. Aside from the fun stuff that happened this morning, nothing good came of today...and that really ticks me off for some reason. It’s like I feel I should’ve done something...like I was supposed to do something, but forgot to do it. Not only did I forget, I forgot what it was that I wanted to do...

Mom’s home. She’s safe and sound and she’s been sleeping since 3:30 when she got in. She slept at my Aunt’s house and then made her way back here. Ended up buying something to munch on just to stay awake, and when she did get home, she just went to sleep...

I’ve talked to Reiko on the phone today (she’s sick), and I’ve been corresponding with Chibi (amai_tenshi) through e-mails (we’re set for tomorrow). I really want to get together with them and do something...like a review or rant or ramble or something but I know that’s not possible and it really aggravates me. Reiko mentioned making an Emo section on our Sloths Gone Mad web site which will pertain to everything we know and love/hate about emo people. I think it sounds like fun...and a lot of work. But still, plenty of fun. Maybe we can get Chibi to make up pictures of us all looking emo. I mean she’s already done it for me and...well, it doesn’t take much to make Reiko look emo.

And that brought up another problem...Dream Weaver has become a royal pain. I installed the same version of Dream Weaver that I had on the old computer onto this one...but for some reason, this one is different. The major difference? It wont allow me to create tables. I can work within tables, but I can’t create them. I’ve tried everything that I know, but I still don’t know what I’m doing wrong or what I should be doing that I’m not. I’m beginning to get desperate...I wonder if they have a place that’d teach me how to make tables using only HTML. That might make it easier, ‘cause you can alter thing HTML style in Dream Weaver. But still! I mean, it’d be so much easier if I could just go to Insert and then Table like I have always done in the past. /shakes head. Insanity…I’ll tamper around with it a little bit more as the evening wears on.

Also, I’ve finally transferred all the info from the Dream Weaver on the old computer to the Dream Weaver here, only there’s a slight problem. The password that I have for my site, and the Sloths Gone Mad web site is the same password, so it’s really hard for me to forget. But evidently the password for Reiko’s Place (Reiko’s web site, which I designed) has a different password...and I do not know what that password is. Neither do I know what name the site was registered under. Therefore it’s impossible for me to find out what said password is.

Ok, so tomorrow at 4:45 Chibi and I will be seeing Narnia. I cannot wait. I think it’ll do me good to get out of the house and relax a bit.

Holy Quadrupeds! I just fixed the Dream Weaver thing! It was in View, Table View, and then you have to click the Standard View option. Otherwise it’s on the Layout View option...which means you can’t do jack...Which really makes no sense..

Ok, I’ve reached the point where I have nothing to talk about. That generally means that I should close the entry. So without futher ado...goodnight.
