Me Bells Are Burried!

Geeze, this day progressively got worse then got a little better. Started off boring, then after I got ready for work it went down hill.

Got Final Fantasy X-2 off of eBay for cheap. I hated Final Fantasy X, but I've been wanting to see what X-2 was like. No one I know owns it, so I can't borrow it, and I hate renting games. So I got one on eBay for cheap. The page said in big red letters, "NO scratches, scuffs or anything. Disc in excellent condition." When I finally got it today, the case is nasty and the disc is badly scuffed with a few scratches on the paint on the top...

Then when I went to pick up my side bag, a huge-a spider crawled off of it. It dared to touch my skin! I smashed it with a binder near by and smushed it. But then it started running again. So I had to do it again. This time it was a little messy ball. So I had to kill the dang thing twice.

Went to get gas. Gas is now $2.99 a gallon... Was not happy. Then my car wouldn't start back up. I am having problems with the battery. Seems the car overcharges and the battery currods too fast and messes up the connection. So I had to mess with that and the drove off.

Now every a-hole in the city decided to piss me off. Constantly cutting me off with no signals. Being slow in front of me, then speeding up so I can't pass. Then I miss my exit cause of the situatuon before, plus 3 more jerks were speeding and made it impossible for me to slow down and get back behind the dude. So I nearly missed my second exit, which is bad cause I've never been past it and wouldn't know how to get to where I need to go.

I go to work and figure with the way things are going, it'll get worse. I was sure that I would get no sells, and probably just a refund. That would lower my numbers and get me into big trouble again. Then my ex wanted to talk to me tonight, so I figured I would get home and she would tell me her baby is actually my child. Which... I would like to know how since she and I never did anything to make a baby. But I am sure the answer would be, "Oh, when you were asleep I had my way with you."

Luckily, I had many visits from my friends. Erika at Hot Topic stopped by and I told her my bad day thus far. She told me to stop by Hot Topic some time and she would give me a hug. I had a couple of more pleasant visits. Then I took a break and went to see Erika. I instantly got a hug, which made me very happy. Then I found a Full Metal Alchemist T-Shirt in the clearance rack. Was $20, reduced to $10. I took it up to Erika. She saw absolutely nothing wrong with it and didn't know why it was put back there, but oh well. She said I'm lucky, cause there was a 50% the clearance price. Awesome shirt, that is perfectly fine, for $5. Woo~.

Then I went to GameStop. Saw Space Channel 5: Special Edition for $9.99... I've always wanted to play it and people tell me it is a lot of fun. So why not? I bought it. Those purchases made me happy and I do not feel guilty about them.

Oh, and my ex did not tell me the child is mine. Thank goodness. However, I became better friends with someone I meet recently over MySpace.com. She found me and sent me a message. I responded and she added me to her list. That was about it for a few days, so tonight I sent a message saying we should get to know each other since we are on each other's friend lists. (Btw, she is married and has a child, so no one ::looks at Spike:: say anything silly.) She responded quicker than I anticipated, but I liked her responce and gave me her AIM name. I gave her mine and we got to talk for the first time. I like her, she is funny and cool. I think we can be good friends.

Right now I have a head ache and I finally finished the 5th Harry Potter book. Didn't really like this book at all. Too much senceless yelling. I want to read 6th book now. I need sleep.

Flat... Like The World

Then when I closed, I got in my car and backed out... I heard this loud noise... I thought it sounded like a get engine... I turned off my radio and I could hear it, but wasn't sure if it was my car. I got to a stop sign that leads out of the mall parking lot... The noise stopped. I started up again and went faster than I had been and the noise started and got louder. Then 1/2 mile from the mall I felt vibrations and pulled over... Back right tire was FLAT! I mean hecka Flat. Wouldn't you know it? But out of all my tires, it was the ONLY one not from Discount Tires who will replace it or fix it for free if it was one of theirs....

I tried to call home but couldn't get through. So I text Rion then Maniac. Both asked where I was and I told them. Maniac got off a little early from work and found me and helped me out. I was also glad he was there for the fact that I didn't feel comfortable changing a tire in the dark in the middle of the night.

But then, the doughnut kept making this brushing noise in one section whenever I spun it. We couldn't get it too stop, and it made me nervous... So I started home at 30 mph... Rion told me to head to his girlfriend's house. I went the back way, which is slower traffic... but the bad sad of town. I did NOT want to get stranded there... I made it to Erika's safely. They took a quick look at it. Then invited me in to get some water (took me 40 minutes in 91 degree night temp to change that tire). Then they said they would follow me home to make sure I got there okay.

Drove 40 mph o a 70 mph road all the way home. Then I invited them in. We hung out for a little bit (by the way, driving time all together was 1 1/2 hours... Not counting the stops. Usually takes me 25-30 minutes to get home....). Then Erika remembered that before A-Kon I was practicing to sing a song for my friend The Bantam Hammy. She had wanted to hear me and I never had a chance. Back then, TBH said she really liked my singing and wasn't just being nice.

When I finished singing the song, Rion was the first to speak. "Out. Standing!" That was a shock. The only time he ever heard me sing is when we were dragged to a night club on Kareoke night. Some old man with an oxygen tank was in my face telling me I need to sing cause he knows talent when he sees it and told the DJ I was going next... I picked a Backstreet Boy song, since NSync and BSB are the only songs I know how to sing to since I sang them for my ex.

When I got up there... I was dead nervous. Too many people looking at me... I wouldn't breath... I squeaked and cracked... It was a mess. So this time, Rion said he was afraid I was gonna get nervous and do that again. He said he didn't think I would be bad, just nervous, but didn't expect me to be that good. Erika was impressed too. Made me really happy. I've never been confident with my singing, and this song was in Japanese. Woo~

So then as I was walking them out Erika, who hasn't seen me since mid-June goes "Have you lost weight? You look smaller." Woah... She is the first to actually say that with out me asking. I was estatic she thought so. I hope to look even better before the end of the year.

Then I got back in and decided to call my friend Spike. I've never called his cell, and after he got it he told me to call him some time. So I did. He was at Wal-Mart and we chated for a bit. But the connection got bad so we got off. Now I am talking to him again online. It's taken me that long to write to this point...

Anyway, as you can see, the night of friends. And I have really great friends too. I am really lucky.

Oh, my sister's Boyfriend was arrested today, for my brother found out day before yesterday that someone charged over $1,500+ worth of stuff on his card. Yesterday he learned what some where and where they were delivered and under whose name. All were send to her boyfriends house and under his name. Well, one was sent under another guys name who used to live there. Well, my brother called the cops. They investigated. Today in the afternoon they arrested him for credit card fraud. My sister was in tears. When she found out why he was arrested and who called the police, she goes "Well, we did receive one item in Lenny's name, but we have nothing to do with him any more!" After she left for work I said, "Wait... How did she know that item that came in Lenny's name was one of the items on the credit card statement?" She had been saying she had no part of it and didn't know her boyfriend had done that and swears he didn't do it anyway....

Cleaning Frenzy

Last night I went to bed, but as I laid there I had this urge to play Okage: Shadow King. So I did. Until my eyes were too tired to see that is. So I finally feel asleep at 3:30am. I woke up at noon and there it was again. The urge.

Jumped on Okage for a few hours till I was called down stairs by my father to see something on TV. Shortly after I got down I heard NewType chimes from the computer room. I realized I must have left my messenger running since I went to bed, since that is the sound when someone logs on. I ran in here to see if anyone had been trying to talk to me since I went to bed. No one had though.... So I looked to see who had just logged on. It twas my friend D, and as soon as I saw it was her, she IMed me. Yay~~

I haven't really gotten to talk to her in a couple of weeks and it's been bumming me out. I only got to talk to her for a little bit then she had to leave. So I went back to my room to play more Okage till I got my butt whooped.

Went downstairs for dinner then back to my room... I looked at it and decided it was time to clean. I never clean my room, and my parents have given up trying to yell at me to clean it. But every now and then my room will get to a certian point and I can't take it any m0re and I spent hours cleaning it. And that is what I did.

From 6 till 10:30 I was cleaning. I completely filled one of those jumbo garbage bags. Usually when I clean I can fill just a normal sized garbage bag, this time I could barely tie this jumbo one shut. 'Twas heavy too.... I even dusted! :oO

Well then, got that out of my system. On other topics. Lately, I've been thinking about cutting half the length of my hair off... It's really dead near the end, and a lot of trouble to wash and comb everyday cause the deadness gets all knotted. So, I think I shall have half of it cut off, and try to take even better care of it this time around.

Writing Again

If I can just find a decent job that pays well, or ever a couple of nice jobs and get a nice amount of money, a friend and I will get an apartment together. However, I am still having no luck in locatinf said job. I am hoping it happens well before Christmas, as there are things comming out I do not want my brother bothering me about.

Not to mention situations with my sister are getting worse. Lately things have been going missing. Before last Christmas my GameBoy Advance SP my mother was going to give me vanished without a trace. Seeing as how my father didn't know it was there, I was waiting for it, and my brother had one already, that left her. Then my brother found $20 missing earlier this year from his wallet.

Shortly after A-Kon I was going to buy my car tags with the rest of my spending money. I came home from work and counted my money. Didn't take it out, just leafed through it inside the wallet. Yet the next day $20 was missing... A few weeks later $10 went missing from my brother's wallet again...

Then just last Sunday, his cell phone disappeared. He left it on the book case infront of the stairs at the top of the stairs Saturday night. My parents saw it there as they went to bed at 11. I went to bed at 2am, in the dark. No clue it was there. I didn't wake up untill 1:30 pm. I went downstairs and my father said goodbye as he was heading back for Dallas. My brother came home just as he started up his truck. A minute later he was in the shower. 5 minutes later my sister came home from spending the night. Then left again before my brother was out of the shower.

Some time around 4 that afternoon my brother asked if I had seen his cell. We looked all over in case a cat jumped up to get it and batted it around and lost it. We never found it. The next day he called the company to see if it had been used. At 6 something yesterday (that Sunday he lost it) there were 2 internet charges on it... Obviously someone used it, and it wasn't him. So he had it deactivated.

Oh, and let's not forget that lately we have had to move all good food to the freezer in the garage and lock that freezed, leaving only veggies and ice in the freezer half of the fridge. Then my mother stopped buying anything really good for the fridge or pantry. Anything good she does buy, I've been told to hide. She eats 7-10 times a day when she is home, and feeds her boyfriend all of our food. She never asks permission to cook anything. Just does. Used up all our pancake mix, so there was none when my mother wanted to make them one morning for all of us. Then she ate a $12 box of shrimp that my mother bought for herself. Nothing is safe in this house.

Oh, and the key to the freezer, only I know where it is. My sister figured out she was being locked out the freezer and made a comment about it. My mother told her everyone was locked out cause only Vash knows where the key is. Later my father asked her why only I knew where it was. She told him it was cause she gives in too easily and she knows I don't.

Then today... My father and mother left to go find a place. When they got back my father came into this room (his study) to get something. As he opened the door, my cat Sakura ran out of here. He had not been in here all day, and I was still asleep. He knows she wasn't locked in over night cause she woke them up this morning... Then he discovered $20 was missing from his money clip...

When I woke up... I had never seen that man look so sad. It was like his pet had just died and his heartached. His own daughter stole from him. He left her a voice mail sayuing he wanted it back. He told my mother he doesn't care if she ever comes back. None of us do anymore. We want her gone, and we will disown her once she has...

Anyway, Maniac and Chopstick and I are going to try and start something cool soon. Keep you all posted on that.

I just got done reading Book 4 of Harry Potter... I liked it. I really look forward to the movie now.

The other day I downloaded a 6 part mini-series called Neverwhere. It's British made. My friend D told me about it, so I went on a search to try to find it to download. Success. I've seen 5 eps so far and I really like this story! It's written by Neil Gaiman, so now I am interested in his movie "Mirrormask" coming out soon.

And just now I started working on this thing D introduced me to. It's this 100 themes thing. You get 100 words and you can either draw pictures corresponding to each or write something that deals with each. I am writing a story based on my comic with extra characters (a few of my other friends.)

Whomp You Man...

Life has really been sucking lately. That is explains why there has been no real post in a while... Seriously, I've not really done a thing. I haven't even had a freind over in ages, so I can't even talk about that. But let's see what I can think up and try to make this a slightly long entry so there is actually something to read...

Okay well, I don't remember if I ever mentioned it, but I finally used up the rest of my A-Kon film, hence why I had my pictures from it scanned. But I used it up on pictures of my with some friends of mine I haven't had pictures taken with yet. If anyone would like to see those, just let me know. I would be happy to share and tell you who the person in the picture with me is. I am very happy I got those pictures.

So anyway, I've been working on a prop for my friend D. All CosPlay information is TopSecret, so I will not disclose what prop I am making for her. Why? Cause I just don't feel like talking about it, that's why. I want the costumes I wear to Oni-Con to be a secret and saying hers will give mine away a bit. I know, they wouldn't have had I not said that, but I did so that it would take that effect. Ha!

I recently finished 2 props for one of my costumes. I still have 2 left, which will take time and money. I may not actually do them, as I am low on cash. I still have to buy my plane ticket soon before they start going up in price. It's hard living on $150 pay checks for two weeks of work...

Saw Fantastic Four with my mother. Dr. Doom was weak. Made me sad.

Did a little research. Iron Man should be out in 2007. Spider-Man 3 will be out May 4, 2007. Ghost Rider with Nicolas Cage will be out in 2006. They are thinking about a Dare Devil 2, while I hated the X-Men movie, except for Ice Man. Constatine 2 is being thought up, but is unsure at this point. Hellboy 2 wants to get going but they need to wait for the director to finish something else he is currently working on. Christian Bale hinted at a very dark Joker for the 2nd Batman movie... Umm... Harry Potter 5 won't be out till 2007... Most importantly, Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest will be out July 7, 2006. Woo~~~ And they are filming the 3rd movie back-to-back with the second one.

I just finished the 3rd Harry Potter book a few moments ago. I never read any of the books before, but my friend D talked me into reading them. She suggested that I go ahead and read the 3rd one as the first 2 movies did a good job of covering those books. I hope to have the 4th book read before I see the movie later this year. And I am SOOOO looking forward to the Witch, the Lion, and the Wardrobe movie coming this Christmas!

Also, I would like to take this time to tell you the animes I am currently watching and my feelings on them real quick. As I am in the middle of a whole lot, I will only list the most recent.

Snow Queen - Based on the Hans C. Andersen story. My favorite of his stories told in Anime. Makes me happy. I am curious to see how they stretch the story 49 episodes long though. And I am not happy with the art all that much. (Only 1 ep out.)

Shuffle! - One of those "One dude with 50 girls craving his love" anime. I enjoy them cause they are so funny, and the characters are crazy. This one is cute. The Gods and Demon dimensions have opened and they now can cross over into ours at will. We all live together yadda yadda. This boy has been chosen to be the fiance` to either the princess of the God dimension of the princess of the Demon Dimension. In other words, he could real one of the two power dimensions. Very cute, funny, great art. Love it. (Only 4 eps out)

Tsubasa Chronicle - Based on the CLAMP Manga. I love this series in both versions. I love the art, music, and voices. They use all their old characters, give them new lives, add new characters and send them through dimensions in search of memories. Sweet story. (On ep 17)

MAR - One of my faves. Young boy, very weak, sent to another dimension filled with fairy tale type beings. Finds himself stronger. Weapons called ARMs are used here, and he finds a very rare one. Now he is determined to fight an army that is trying to take over this world he has come to. Very cool. Does anyone notice there are a lot of dimension stuff going on? (On ep 10)

Loveless - Okay... Umm... My friend D told me to check it out. It's shounen-ai, I know. But... If I ignore the dude kissing the dude, it's actually a pretty good series. I have seen 4 eps and they've only kissed once, so... Magic fighting that reminds me of Negima.

Magic Teacher Negima - 11 year old magician from Britan comes to Japan to teach school as part of his training. Teaches at an all girl school. Gets into magic fights. Teams up with a girl in his class to be his fighter. Fighter attacks and defends with the magic user casts spells... From the person who made Love Hina... So the main girl looks like Naru. (Ep. 22 out, on ep 10)

Victorian Romance Emma - Very light and simple story. Victorian England. Maid and a rich young man fall in love. They try to over come all odds and be together. (12 eps, on ep 9)

Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid - Second season to the original. Never got to finish the original, but I love the characters so I have to watch this season. So funny. (On ep 3)

Eureka Seven - Another one D recommended. No kissing dudes this time. (By the way, I've nother against dudes kissing and liking each other... I just don't want to see it.) This is a fun series. Reminds me of a mix between FLCL and Full Metal Panic, while sky surfing. (on ep 9)

Erementar Gerad - Don't try to pronounce it, you'll go mad. It's a cool series. Sky pirate main character finds girl in a box. She is of an all female race known as Eden Raids that can transform into powerful weapons when they make a contract with a human. (On Ep. 13)

Elfien Lied -WOAH~~! My gawd! So much gore and blood and wrongness... I wasn't sure about this one at first. Too gory and too much nudity for me. But if I sedate myself (as not to go insane from the wrongness of the gore) and ignore the nudity... It's crazy and interesting enough to keep me into it. I love the theme too. But I swear it's the only song in the whole series. (On ep 5)

Tide-Line Blue - Post Apocoliptic future. Most of the world is under water. Young boy and his crush (with her recently born child) are on a submarine. Not sure what that plot is yet, but I like it. (3 eps out, on ep 3)

Trinity Blood - Preist that is really a Vampire that feeds on the blood of Vampires and belongs to a bad-a group of warrior-ish priests under the command of the pope's right-hand bishop (Lady Catherina) who fight creatures of the night while the world is torn between humans and Vampires. 'Nuff said. Kinda has a Trigun mixed with Helsing feel to it. (on ep 10)

Onmyou Taisenki - Digimon type thing... I like it. (on ep 4)

Last One -
Akahori Gedou Hour Rabuge - It's like two anime in one. First half, two girls want to further their comedy career, so they became superheros with the same team name to get credit. But they don't care if they kill or hurt innocent people, as long as they capture or kill villans of any level (panty theives to axe murderes) as long as they "did justice." People hate and fear them, so they are more like villans. One girl likes bid chests on women and little girls, and the other girl likes little boys under the age of 10... Other half is about 5 sisters whose parents were henchmen in evil organizations. Their last wish was for their daughters to become real villans, beyond the life of henchmen. So they gain magical powers to be villans, but keep doing good deeds so they are more like superheros... (On episode 1)

Speaking of all this... I am PISSED. D.Gray-man, one of my all time fave manga series has been licensed. They last chapter translated was a FLIPPIN cliff hanger... so now I have to wait for ever for it to come out and then reach the same place I was at before I can find out what happend. Dang it!

Anyway, night.
