OCD+ADD=OMG

Beware, for I am: Blah

You know, today many things happened. For one, I found out that at least 2 of my co-workers have a MySpace. Secondly, and more importantly, I helped my Mom to make a MySpace for herself. O_o Somehow...that feel strange, but I can’t say why. Here's Mama's MySpace if anyone cares to see it. So yeah...today’s been...interesting.

I did get World of Warcraft in today, and I installed it this evening. However, I’ve decided not to activate it till after MechaCon. Let’s face it, I’m not gonna be able to give it the time I would want to give it. So I can’t rightly activate an account yet. But I will. Soon. Honestly, Twin-san, you could’ve told me that the installation process was so scary...it was like that freaky sound affect from Lost every time you have to insert another CD. I’m just reading a fan fic and *BOOM!*

O_O!!!

*pop up “Please insert CD # 3”*

=_=

I did get a free 10 day trial...as if that’s enough time to get into a game. I only tried out a month of EQ2 and I still find I’m not fully into it. I love playing it when I can, but since there’s a time limit I’m not as into it because I know I’m gonna have to let it go. /sigh That’s enough from the Dr. Freud in my head. It’s time for bed. G’night.

Beware, for I am: Drugged

Note to self – Never combine Midol with Aleve Sinus and Headache @___@ Wowy-wow-wow-wow...

So. Yesterday...the nurses got their desk at work. I played a lot of EQ2 on Vicraxx, and as such I have tons of pictures of her now. She just looks so cool when she fights. Her frill fans out and it just looks cool. What else did I do yesterday? Oh yeah, while I was watching Daria – Is it College yet?, I printed out the old list of my movies and junk. I went through them and put them, added the new ones that I’ve purchased since the last time I updated the list, and then I put them in alphabetical order in my DVD rack thingy. I think I’ve decided that movies will go in the DVD rack and all box sets and anime will go in the closet. It’s more a practical decision than anything, because with me trying to fit all the box sets into the rack, they don’t all fit, so I’m just trying to conserve space and all that. Not good to have DVDs lying around on the floor. Also, I think I’ve lost a few of the plastic covers to some of my anime box sets. I mean, I’ve looked high and low for them and they’re no where. The only thing I can think is that Mom saw them and thought they were useless -.- Oh well.

I’m off to get another cup of coffee, but I leave you with the list of my movies and other DVDs.

Wow...wow, wow, wow. Man. I’m so tired. I don’t’ know how I got this tired. It feels like...oh yeah. I did take those sinus pills. That’ll get me every time.

So today’s post is gonna be a little scattered. First thing...work. Uh...Work actually went by quickly, but that’s because no one else is working. That tends to decrease the amount of faxes, letters and phone calls, na no da.

I’m slightly disturbed be one of my EQ2 characters. I never noticed till just recently, but Anvanime is starting to sound like she’s having a mini-orgasm every time she goes into battle. When people hit you, your character makes noises to vocalize that “Ow, that hurt.” However, Anvanime’s voice sounds like a high-pitch gasp or cry...When I heard it I cracked up leafing and nearly died because I forgot I was in the middle of battle. Then when I went over to play my evil characters, I noticed that all the Tunarians sounded the same. I think it’s a humanoid thing...So, it’s probably safe to say that Wood elves, High Elves, Half elves and Humans all have the same problem =_=

I checked my web site counter, and there’s only be like 5 people there. I know it’s not me either, because I’ve set the site not to count me. I do know that at least one was my Mom. So, I went over to my links section and checked to see which site had e-mails. So I sent out e-mails to people I’d linked. I just wanted them to know I had linked to them because I liked their sites. I feel like people visit the site and don’t leave feed-back and it kinda frustrates me. So, I wanted them to know that I was loving their sites so much that I wanted to link to them. I think I sent out ...something like 37 e-mails. Only 7 came back from the Postmaster (wonder if he’s anything like the Pagemaster...)

Other than that I really haven’t done much. Rewatched Firefly...uploaded a couple more icons...but that’s about it. So I’m gonna go to bed ‘cause I’m half way asleep anyway.

PS: Oh! It rained today! And the ducks were playing in the puddles in our drive way! They were so cute!

Beware, for I am: Pleased

Wow...yeah, today’s been good. Didn’t get up till 11. I say ‘get up’ because I was awake, I just didn’t want to drag myself out of bed till then. Got up, had breakfast and started playing EQ2.

I now have six characters on EQ2; all of my characters are on the Premafrost server. First is Illisse my Barbarian Mystic. She’s level six. Then is Silivren my Dark Elf Wizard that is currently level 3. Followed by Miiriel, my Erudite Illusionist that is level 7. Followed by Vicraxx my Iksar Bruiser of level 5. Next is Allasante my Ratonga Warden of level 3. Finally I have Anvanime, my Wood Elf Ranger of 3 levels. And I must say, it has been a fun day. The names of all but one are all elvin to my knowledge...Illisse means All Sweetness, Silivren is Glittering Silver, Miiriel is Glittering Jewel, Allasante is Joy Bringer, and Anvanime is Most Beautiful. Vicraxx is just a mix of Vicari and Caxrass. Most of it’s been fun, the only real drag is when tons of people get on and my computer gets all jumpy when I (or anyone else for that matter) moves. There was this time when Vicraxx grouped and I knew I shouldn’t have done it, but the guy kept bugging me! He asked me to group four times, and I kept declining. Finally I just accepted. I hardly ever group, because I have to do things at my own speed. Most guys that play operate on years of experience and just do things all ‘bam-bam-bam-bam-bam!’ like. I like to take my time, look around, smell the roses so to speak. These guys would just attack stuff and then move on, and then go on and I wouldn’t know where they were and they’d have to come and get me, and then the computer got all laggy. I think my chat bar was going crazy too, because I’m pretty sure they were talking but it never showed what they were saying. Finally I was just like, “Melt down!” and logged off. I went and ate lunch and came back about an hour later. Things were a tad bit better by then. So, for future reference, never group! Anyway..so yeah. All new characters, all new game (you can see them here).

In other RPG news: I got an invite on MySpace to join an RPG Message board all Pirates of the Caribbean-ish. I was tickled that someone actually went through MySpace and said to themselves ‘oh, she might enjoy this type of thing!’ and invited me. Of course, I’ve done Message Board RPGs before and I’ve never had much luck with them. To me their too slow. By the time some people reply to what’s going on others have lost interest and you can’t move forward without everyone interacting. It’s why I prefer IM-RPG; it’s all instant (well mostly -.-). Of course that got me thinking about the Tenshi again. Man, we would’ve rocked a Pirate-y RPG. Of course, that for us would’ve been someone playing Jack Sparrow and/or Will Turner and every other character dressing like pirates (whether they wanted to or not). I can so see Lina as a pirate /nod nod nod. Buffy too probably. And maybe Magoo would through in Larry as her pirate person. And Duo would be the finest looking one of the bunch! Not that we’d all be limited to one. The Tenshi are many things, but we’re never limited ^____^. Man, that brings back old times. I miss our RPGing, but I think I’m probably the only one who’s interested in it anymore. /shrug What ya gonna do?

And that’s been my day. All-in-all, not a bad way to start off the first of the month. I shall now conk out and have peaceful dreams and then tomorrow try to dream up more to either the EQ Saga, Different from Me or the EQ2 characters’ bios...that is, if I don’t get exhausted from being up so early and all that. Ja!

View, Table View, Standard View! /sigh I had to say that before I forgot again. I reopened DreamWeaver today, only to find that it was restarted too. Just like everything else that restarted on my computer, all the settings had been cleared, and it was back to square one. No, web sites, no nothing. I’ve really gotta just make a chart that details site names, locations, passwords, all of it, because this is just too frustrating! And it wasn’t letting me fool with tables again. I finally figured out (again) that you have to go to View, then Table View, and select you want the Standard View thingy in order to be able to work with tables and layers freely.

Well, as everyone can see from my previous post, I posted the preview of the next EQ Saga chapter from work. I’m fairly proud of this one. Probably because I wrote the first half of it right after Katrina hit and then the rest of it all flowed out within the last week. The whole first scene where Moirai’s agitated and hot and sweaty is all really me, sitting in my house, with no AC, hot as hell, sweating like a pig (assuming pigs sweat), and cranky like a sweat-soaked cat! I wrote the whole first scene while we were waiting for the power to come back on. I used my inability to focus on the big picture (deliberately immersing myself in my own agitation so that I wouldn’t have to think of how horrible that hurricane he been), and put that all into that scene. And by golly! It worked! I’ve heard people say it all the time, “Use what you’re feeling at the moment and put it into the story. It makes the best scenes because you’re feeling what the character feels, and it ends up coming of more real.” I never actually believed it. And it worked! Son of a gun...I’m so gonna have to remember it.

The trick is learning when and how to turn it off. I mean, I don’t want to put too much of myself into my story...it’d be way too boring then. It’s learning to think in and outside of the box. Although most of the time I do agree with Tucker. “Hey, the box is there for a reason. I like thinking inside of it. I feel safe in there.” That’s one of the best lines ever, and I quote it whenever I can get half a chance ^.^

Work was huge today. In the end it didn’t seem huge, but it was. I typed up about 5 documents in all. Doesn’t seem like much compared to the 2 + 2 dozen I did a few days ago, but when you’re typing up 5 documents that all have to be proof read and check and re check by 3 different people...it turns into a whole-day event. But it’s like I say, work is never hard it’s challenging. Sometimes, the challenge just hurts my brain a little. But over-all, I love my job.

So...I’m looking at screencaps for City of Villians right now. It looks pretty fun. But I’ve already got City of Heroes and EQ 2 at my disposal. If I’m gonna play a game, it’ll probably be one of those two. I mean, think about it. You pay $45 at least for the game, then you have to pay monthly installments. I have two games like that, that I’ve already paid for...might as well just do those. Of course, I can’t really, because I still don’t know what the hell is up with my Moter...I call it my Moter because CoH thinks it’s a Router and it’s really a Modem that’s servings as a router. As soon as Mom get’s the phone bill in, I’m calling Bell South. Till them, I’m left to wonder why in God’s name they make online games that can’t get past these things. Honestly. Didn’t the tech guys think of this?

Still debating over whether or not I should get a laptop. Arguably, I can always use it. It’s not like it’d be a bad idea. The pros include having a backup for everything on my computer, being able to be on the computer and work on stuff even when the desktop can’t because it’d be plugged in, and establishing a line of credit by paying it off in monthly installments. Of course, I’d want to be able to pay as much as I could as quickly as I could, but that’d still be credit. But...I’m no where near actually saving up enough to think about it yet. So, I’ll put it off for a while longer. I’m tired.

I’m gonna go watch my old Alice Through the Looking Glass movie till I get too tired to function. Goodnight.

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.

Hello, everyone. Today has been interesting to say the least. Went with Mom to the doctor this morning and Doc gave us medicine. I gotta say, I feel worse today than I felt over the weekend. Mom had a sort of relapse thing, and now I’m afraid I might do the same thing. God, I hate being sick like this.

Ok, so Mom and I got food and medicine while we were in town, and if felt like it took us everything we had just to do that. So, we got home and took our meds, and the meds made us a little woozy. But, I still got on and gathered up pictures to make color bars. I present to you the two Johnny Depp color bars that I made for Chibi (amai_tenshi).

Made by msmoon

Made by msmoon

I have posted here, in her journal, and sent her the raw html codes. I found out that the link that I use through the Massive Tool Thingy to link back to my journal can be used on any web page unlike LJ’s ljuser html thingy.

I also made these three colorbars for Demona my favorite character from Gargoyles. Tada!

Made by msmoon

I just can’t decide which one I like better! They’re all good and all true, so I kept them all. Yeah. I’m a looser.

Reiko came over afterward...I think it was afterward...yeah it was. ‘Cause I showed her all the colorbars and Johnny was among them. I had been bugging her about her books that she’d left over here. She brought chocolate chip cookies, we watched many videos and had some delight even though I was ailing thusly. Dude. No matter how hard I try to use cool words like that, I never sound as good as tinhuviel.

Oh! I got an e-mail from an old friend of mine who saw my profile on MySpace. Good old Senshi (not that he’s old or anything). We kinda lost track of each other and got busy with life. You know how that goes, you forget to drop a line and life just goes on without you. But he sent me an e-mail and got a song stuck in my head, and got me to rambling and made me totally forget what I was doing, so we’re all good. /stops and looks back and forth confused Uh...whatever. Anyway, yeah so, it was great to hear from him again. That’s the second old friend that I haven’t talked to in what felt like ages that I’ve gotten in touch with lately. I hope it keeps up. I’ve gotten to where I feel like I don’t have anyone to talk to through e-mails and AIM and such before all this.

Ah well. Other than that...not much has happened. I started writing the beginnings of another EQ chapter. But it’s probably barely a page long. I’ll have to see what I’m doing and how I’m feeling tomorrow before I can say how that’ll develop.

Well, I’m really tired and I’ve been fighting off this feeling all day long. I shall now submit to the meds and sleep. Goodnight.

Holy...Quadrupeds! After I finished up my last entry, I decided to go through the paper to see if there were any positions worth applying for. There were two, and I made up a cover letter, envelope, and resume for both of them. I then decided that since I had nothing to do, I might as well start putting the next chapter of the EQ Saga together. Yes, I spent almost all morning reformatting all the chapters that are now on FF.net. But what they hey! Might as well just kill myself by staring at this screen.

Well, needless to say, that didn’t go over very well. So, after I gave myself a colossal headache, I decided to vegg out and just watch TV for a while. I watched The Soup doing their countdown 2005, as all shows seem to be doing lately. That was fun. Agonized over Mom trying to book bus tickets for Bub, which was about as fun as chewing aluminum foil. I tried to point out that she was booking passes for a trip that leaves at 12:10 am, but she was like “Yeah, I know. That works perfectly.” So I was all backing off ‘cause I didn’t want to aggravate the woman. Finally, the thing goes through, and I point it out again and she’s like “Why didn’t you tell me! I thought it was pm!”

Dad finally got the new water heater, but then he needed new pipes. He got the new pipes, but he couldn’t find a thing of pvc pipe glue. So I went to town and got the glue at Lowe’s...only to come back and have him tell me he’d found a spare can he didn’t know he had. /slowly shakes head. It’s a wonder I’m not put on trial at any point for beating my family to death with an iron bat...So, I finally got to relax and eat. Then I watched Wife Swap which had temporarily transformed into Husband Swap with Mom and Dad. Then we watched America’s Funniest Home Videos together, and we all laughed our sorry white arses off.

Then, I jumped on this box, and I started typing away at the next chapter. I don’t know why, but something had changed and this time it just felt right. I finally had reached the end, or as close to the end that I could come without really ticking my own self off, when I remember wondering how long it was. I vaguely glimpsed down towards the bottom of the screen and saw 24/26. I then realized that the whole damn thing was 26 pages long. After doing a word count of just the story (not the end ramble) I came up with 9,934 words. Holy. Clucking. Quadrupeds. /sigh no wonder I’m tired. I mean, there are only like 9 characters in this story (main ones at least) and 7 brand-spanking-new ones that had never even been introduced! But I don’t’ think I’m ready to put it up yet. So I figure, I’ll take some time, edit the thing slowly and carefully, and then I’ll put it up new years day or something. It’ll be a great way to ring in the new year.

Ok, I need to not focus on that for right now though...I need to focus on something else...I’m slightly worried about my Twin-san (animequeen). She was supposed to be moving to her new apartment on Christmas day. Not so much for the moving thing; moving’s always gonna be a hassle that no one’ll ever get used to. I’m more concerned for her index box. Honestly, I’m always worried that I’m clogging the damn thing up. But, she’s yet to curse me out over it, so I’m just gonna assume that we’re good. Even if assuming tends to make an ass out of u and me.

Ok...I think I’ve ranted enough. I’m gonna go and get something to eat, and rewatch Dune till the meds kick in and I come off of this crazy high I’m on. Goodnight.

Kindness is most important in a boyfriend/girlfriend. You want someone who will go through everything with you - the best moments and the worst, and all of those other moments in between. You love to be able to say anything to your partner, and have them say anything to you. You are able to be extremely close with your partner for that reason.

Yo...Much has happened...I just haven’t felt up to posting. I’ve wanted to post on many different subjects, so I’ll just go ahead and write about those things I wanted to write about.

Monday was long. Drove up to the funeral, and then started back around 12ish after we had lunch. I drove us almost all the way home. From I55 to our home, that is. We were dead tired once we’d gotten home...

Today, I called ASC back. It’s a staffing agency that’s supposed to help me find a job. Their efforts have become somewhat disappointing of late. Last week they called to ask if I wanted a job catering. They know as well as anyone that I’m looking for a job in clerical. Yet they call to bother me with catering? Then they left a message while Mom and I were gone. So I called back. They wanted to know if I was interested in working nights at a place where I’d be folding clothes and ‘tidying up’. My response was this,

“…….No.”

Today also marks a glorious day. I made my first gumbo today without assistance. Mom had gone to the church to help with the phones. There’s always a meeting on Tuesday mornings, and the church’s secretary has to attend the meetings. This causes a problem when the phones ring or she is otherwise needed. So, my Mom offered to go over there and help with the phones while they were at the meeting. She called, and asked if I would mind bringing her a cup of cappuccino. I didn’t mind, so I hurried up and brought her a mug (they were finishing up the street paving so it didn’t really go as quick as I wanted), and asked if she needed anything else. She said she wanted me to get the bag of okra out of the freezer to thaw so she could make a gumbo when she got back. So, I asked what I’d need to do to make a gumbo and she told me. I’d done it before once when she was with me. So I wrote it all down, and made my first Okra & Sausage gumbo. It wasn’t as good as I would have hoped, but Mom says it’ll be better with time. Gumbos are like that. The longer the gumbo sits, the more the ingredients mix, and thus the better everything tastes.

Mom didn’t get home till 4 something, so it was good that I’d made it. She was very tired when she finally got in. But then, being out from 8:30 till 4 at that mad house would tire anyone. After we’d eaten a bit, I headed to town. I wanted to make sure I’d bought tickets to The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe. Friday at 7. I bought two and asked Reiko to go with me, but she’s not sure if she’ll be able to go. I know that Chibi, Reiko, and I are supposed to go see it for our Christmas, but it’s one of those things that you want to be able to tell people. “I saw the first showing of The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe.” Or...at least the first showing I was able to see. Besides, I don’t mind watching it more than once. Not at all.

I’m watching the Dune thing my Mom bought for me the other day. I must’ve watched it seven or eight times since then, and yet I never posted about it. It’s much better than the movie. Well, it’s much better in the sense that there’s more material, and you understand more about the universe you’ve been thrust into. I still can’t picture anyone other than Patrick Stewart as Gurney Halleck... Princess Irulan is better portrayed in this one though. On the other hand, Muad Dib seems much less of a hero than in the movie version.

I went over to the EQPixel Army. I usually go there to make dollz of my existing EQ characters; the ones that I write about in my stories or have played in game. Tonight was different though...I made a doll of a high elf chick that I’ve never even seen before. She just jumped into my head, and who am I to deny her? After I made the first doll, I decided to make aBarbarian girl. Also, one I’ve never seen before.

Well, I guess that’ll be all for today. Goodnight everyone.

EDIT: Images of the EQ dollz have been removed.

Yo. Today seems to have gone by quickly...It must be because it gets dark so fast. I mean it starts getting dark around 5 over here. Anyway.

I went to town today and looked at paint samples for my room with Mom. I found two colors that I’d like to try out for my room. Water Hyacinth for the walls and Ice Violet for the trim. Yes, very girly and light, but I wanna just check those colors out and see how they go. I wanted something that’d go with the indigo curtains and carpet. Our next task will be clearing everything out of this room except my bed and painting. If I disappear for a long time then you shall all know that my mother abducted me to change this room. I do like my room the way it is...that is to say, there’s nothing wrong with it. But I know that the walls are terribly torn up from the many years of posters being taped to them and then ripped off and all, and it’ll sell better if there’s paint over that. And it beats wall paper any day. I was thinking of going crazy and painting my computer desk and TV shelves to match...like the walls will be the Water Hyacinth so I’ll paint the shelves and desk Ice Violet like the trim.

Oh, huge hassle today. I wrote the next chapter for my MM’s Ramblings, and it like to never got up there. It’s basically a funny thing with my EQ characters e-mailing each other, but I had it all nicely formatted all the way I wanted it, and it wasn’t putting the formatting up there right. I don’t know what FF.net’s excuse is, but it was ridiculous. I mean, I had the From: To: Date: Subject: Stuff all bold and italicized and it had the first entry done right and then from there on it made everything bold italic! And it wouldn’t show the character’s e-mail addresses! It was so frustrating! No matter how hard I tried, it wouldn’t put those e-mail addresses up there! I finally gave in and stripped it of it’s format as much as I could get away with and left the e-mail thingies off too. But I am not happy about it, and I intend to do everything I can to edit that until I get so sick of it I give up. And that’s just that.

I would stay up and keep working on it now, but I do have to wake up early tomorrow. No one’s IMing me, no reason to stay up. So, that’ll be all for tonight. Goodnight.
