MERRY CHRISTMAS!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! HAVE A GREAT YULE!!

Lovely sayings, aren't they? I'm so happy that people have given me such great gifts. People remain true to what I like; if you get me one of three types of things, you're set for life. (1) Sanrio (2) Clothes (3) Funky Jewelry. For once, everyone lived up to my expectations. It was great fun!

I woke up early, considering, at 8:00. I went to our stockings, which are hanging upstairs on the stair well (we don't have a fireplace) and checked that I *got* something. Santa has suspiciously womanly handwriting; I suppose he took lessons from my Mom, you know, the little elf herself. I woke Miguel up, and we woke our parents up! We went and opened the the gifts from Santa who had taken the trouble of wrapping the gifts.

From Santa:
1. The Royal Diaries Series: Kristina - I'm an avid reader of this series. There are 14 in all and this was the one I was missing. I am going to read it over this break.
2. A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Carnivorous Carnival - This series is absolutely smashing. I have 1-8 and I was happy to get the next one. I haven't read it yet, but I will over break :) I also got #10.
3. A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Slippery Slope - Ditto above, except this one is the tenth book, not the ninth :) I'll read the ninth one first, then this one. Yay!!
4. NOW 14 - Well now, I guess I got to keep up with what's supposed "now". I'm listening to it right now; it's alright. I'm not too fond of most of the songs, but there are some with a nice beat. Hmm...
4. M&M's with Green M&M keychain - I just ate the M&M's, but I like the keychain very much. I will use it on my packback for school, it's neat.

Then Mom, Miguel and I went downstairs to open the rest of the hoard. I brought paper and marker to write down who gave what, so I can make proper thank you cards this year! I'll have to make a bunch of Thank You cards, but I'll thank my schoolmates with Xmas cards I forgot to bring to school on the last day. Anyways, Mum wanted us to open the gifts from her and Papa. This is what I got from them:

1. Pant -I got this really neat pair of brown stretch pants - and they feel really soft and velvet, but not stiff. It's really comfy, and his small slits one the sides, with strips of the same material hanging down. Very cute.
2. Two Blouses - The first one is really neat looking; it's made of really flowing material, with a neat peasant design on it. It has big sleeves, and there's this pretty brown frabric-pendant thing on it. The second one is blue, with smaller cuff sleeves, but it has a butterfly made of that same brown stuff on the V-neck. Looks really nice.
3. GameCube & Games - This one was actually give to both Miguel and I; the GC is silver. We got Super Mario Smash Bros MELEE - give to my brother initially, but I'll use it too o'course - and Luigi's Mansion given to the both of us. Miguel got What's-his-name and Clank for the PS2 from Ninang Gina and & Tito Aaron.

Speaking of those two, they gave me quite a nice collection of Sanrio stuff. Bless them.

From Ninang Gina and Tito Aaron:
1. Sanrio stuff - The first bag (there were three) contained HK [Hello Kitty] salt and pepper shakers. I got a laugh outta that one, what do I need those for?.. In the second bag there was a little purse; the size of a datebook, but if you pull out the black raincoat-like material it turns into a huge shopping bag! The largest bag contained Chococat scarf, gloves and hat. All cream vanilla colored and very cute!

2. Shirts - They both also gave me a brand-name shirt...Tommy H-something. Two of them actually, one's long sleeved & red and the other's yellow and short sleeved. I'm not too fond of brand-names, but they are well made at least; not like that Ambercrombie crap.

My grandmother, Ninang Gina's and me Mom's mother, sent me some Sanrio stuff two, in a huge bag.

1. Sanrio Stuff - Nice Sanrio bag (I've got quite a collection, as a matter o' fact), - Inside there was the usual 2004 Date book. Inside there was also a HK Plaid pen, HK Plaid Mini-Notebook, HK Plaid pencil, and a HK denim wallet with $25, or more precisely 24 bucks and 100 cents.

Since my paternal grandparents live so far away in the Philippines, they just sent me $40. My mom wasn't paying attention when she wrote down what they wanted her to say in the card, and wrote To Miguel, in MINE. Actually, Tita Jean (my grandma) is very excited about me coming there in the summer. It's very cheap there, good for me! Oh, and my cousins are all calling me "Ate" (pronounced Ah-te, not Eight) and it's adorable. Tita Jean wants to know what I want, but I can't show her this website, there's a little too much craziness (a bit of profanity) going on. She thinks that I can duplicate some stationary on the computer for her; I suppose I could too...

Anyways, back to my presents (so I don't forgot...)

From Tita Emily & Family:
1. Sweater - It's white with a light blue stripe down the sleeves. It's very cute and sporty :)

From Tita Monette:
1. Necklace - It's really neat. The beads are peasent blue and brown; almost hawaiian and it matches the stuff my Mom and Pop gave me completely. The pendant is large, round wooden with the engraving of some tropical flower.

Marissa&Isabel + Family:
1. Books - They gave me a trilogy series: The Princess Diaries. I don't think much of the movie, and I usually don't like books with lotsa of worrisome things about appearance and boys. But this is alright to read, and it's rather funny at times.

Salacata Family:
1. GAP Shirt - It's blue and white striped long-sleeved shirt. It's very cool, and I'll wear it a lot.
2. Pink Datebook - Oh, I love organizing stuff! Maybe this will actually help...*coughs*

The Triplets:
The triplet's are my cousins; three girls, I refer to them as one unit. This is from there family too of course.

1. Jacket - They sent me this light brown jacket that's very warm. I thank them. Profusely.

There is, again, the matter of all the presents I've already opened. Miguel gave me a neclace with a script letter "C" with pink stones, Debbie Eddie gave candy, Auntie Jule gave me $20 for the mall, the Houtas gave me a pretty bracelet with pink stones, Tito Dave and Tita Merlene gave me $20 too. Isn't life grand?

Well, I must be off. I've got the shovel the deck ON CHRISTMAS. Well, that's really no excuse. Maybe I'll take pictures of what I've gotten, if I can figure out how to use my dad's camera....

much love,

wednesday, december 24 .2003

Dear, dear, what a *busy* past week it has been. I must write down some things, lest I forget them in the busy days ahead. First of all, if you can tell by the crossed-out things on my TODO list, I got some things accomplished. I cleaned my room, which is looking marvelous - I've been doing a good job of picking up now and then, so it still looks clean. I finished all of my homework on time as well! I still need to write up my science stuff, but that's not of utmost urgency anyways. I have a bundle of things to do over break, but I'll get to that later.

Tonight's Christmas Eve and it's nice and quiet. Me family and I have been opening a few presents, and boy-oh-boy am I going to be neckup in thank you notes. Mind, I gave presents too - basically I owe Mum $80 but I hope she forgets about that. I have a bunch of cards to write, late of course, with thank you's on a lot of them too. Haha, I'm so wonderful.

Oooh, I think Mum and Papa might of got me an' Miguel a GameCube! Wow, though, I didn't *really* want one - I just put that down as a afterthought on my wishlist. I probably don't need another obssession - Harvest Moon has been going down good - I saved the town once already, I'm trying for the other eight endings.

I've gone and bought myself the LEMONY SNICKET: THE UNAUTHORIZED AUTOBIOGRAPHY and I think he's off his rocker. That's probably why I love him so much, who and wherever he is. His series is bang good - it's one of my favorite series. Here are my favorite series, in case you're wondering.

I'm rather into fanciful things mostly. I don't exactly know why, but I like books that stretch the imagination like that. 'Course, I'm a fan of good historical fiction - especially diaries. I love reading diaries, and writing them too! Heh, I'm such a book whore. I've just read the HP series over again, and I love the phrases in that book. Ever since I went to Australia, I've slipped up and called Mama 'Mum'. It's quite fun sounding, though Mum isn't really one, she's defintely a Mama. Papa can never be called a Dad, 'cause he's a Papa not a Dad.

I suppose I most tell the tale of my 'Net life. I've worked hard and brought down the # of account I own to 2, not counting the guild ones. The guild ones don't really belong to me. However, I haven't been as active as I'd like in the guild because I've been falling back into my "real" life. Yup, yup. However, the website has been going really well because I love my new layout and have hopes of being hosted someday.

I'm really into materialistic stuff during Christmas. It's the gifts, I know it. But I'm always so happy during Christmas, I spend like a tramp with her pimp's money. Besides me new book, I also bought this really neat bracelet and the guy threw in a shiny ring with square tiny mirror plates over it so when it catches the light, it looks really techno pretty. Haha, and one of the presents I've oppened had this really... elegant bracelet, black metal oval frame beads set with pretty purple stones. Gosh, it's so pretty! Miguel also got me jewelry; a necklace from Claire's with a pink script C, set with those pink stones. Neato, really!

Oh, we got our EXPLORE test scores back; I'm in the 99% percentile overall. I think that's really good :) I got 94% percentile in Science and 97% percentile in Usage/Mechanics in the English portion. I did fairly well on those, considering I'm such a dunce at details and stuff. I pretty proud of myself, not afraid to admit it. Scheduling starts in January and I hope that I will choose what's best. I think I can do this, I really mean that! I *will* do well in school, and nothing will get in the way of me becoming a dermatologist. I'm going to be doctor, I will, I WILL!!

You know, I really think teachers are underpaid. They deserve more money, dammit. They deal with us monstrocities every single day and will do so for the rest of their teaching careers. They teach us; they show us intelligence. Same thing goes for doctors. They are better off then teachers; but I think the lawsuits and malpractice insurance against them is just awful. They are saving people's lives and making lives better. Now...I have nothing against lawyers, I sorta wanna be one, but they make too much fucking money off people. I'm all for justice, but sometimes I feel they get more than they are worth...ah well, I'm not up to lawyering anyhow.

You know, I feel funny sometimes. Like I'm seeing things differently than other people. For instance, I get really worked up about me. I cannot stand to be substandard. But I'm also very slow on the uptake and if I lose my train of thought, you have to give me a minute. So I'm sorta contradicting myself in my PERSONALITY. Disorder, much? ...and I get really disgusted when people act so STUPID. I get into arguments a lot about stuff, and a lot of the time, they get made at me for being right! God damn, lesbians and gays are NOT sinners - and it doesn't say anything in the bible about them being sinners. Christ!

Anyways it's now very late. I'm going to sleep, wake up early and get my presents!! YAY!!

much love,

I must warn you that what I have written today is CRAP, meaning much to me and less than a hair follicle to you. :/ Oh yes, and I want to watch Pirates of the Carribean in English again and get the Lilo & Stich CD's. The Finding Nemo one was a bit of disappointment. I am so greedy. But I got HARVEST MOON today, finally, a VERY late present owed by my mom, which was actually paid for by my ten year old brother! It's an awesome game, it's addicting and reminds me of Neopets (taking care of stuff, earning money, making friends). JOY! Oh and Jessie is sick :( I hope she gets well soon!

Much to be done, but I feel that lovely feeling of accomplishment - just by using my English journal as a "pensieve"; I poured my thoughts and ideas out and made myself a neat little schedule to follow each day. It took quite a bit of work but I am, once again, grateful for keeping a regular journal. I believe I've mentioned (or maybe I haven't) that I've been a journal keeper for quite some time. I started keeping a diary when I was six. I threw all journals from this time all the way up to when I was eight or nine. At ten years young, I was self concious about how I wrote. I should've kept them, I wonder what I thought about - not to mention my style of writing. This blog is the most regularly written in thing I've ever done. My handwritten journal at home is only written in when the need overtakes me. I also have an English journal at school, to which I am not afraid to pour my heart out to. It's wonderful to have a journal at school - I can write in it when I'm feeling overwhelmed.

I guess it's time to write about my newly formed schedule. It's really quite an amazing thing. I had no idea I could actually form something as - as organized as this. Hopefully, I will be able to learn from this and be an ORGANIZED person. As absurd and impossible as it sounds, perhaps this is the first step towards that dream!

My first thoughts were towards my music lessons. I am ashamed to say, I don't practice as much as I should. So it seems my first concerns were that of my music. I almost always have a free hour between four o'clock and five o'clock. This is when I will practice my piano, then my alto clarinet, and if their is extra time, my clarinet. This reminds met that I need to catch up on my clarinet - if I want to play in band next year. I think I will dig up my clarinet theory and music books so I may practice.

My next problem was figuring out how much time to spend on the computer each day. I need approx. 30 minutes for neopets/email. Then I decided to make it a nice round number and added 30 minutes for my website. I want to add some fanlistings almost everyday, unless a day like today comes around when I can't waste time. I will probably set aside another hour for blogging/journal writing/drawing. That takes up 2 hours of my day - but they can be anytime, after homework of course, and can be given up in hopes of completely something more urgent.

There are some "chores" (silly little errands) I must do each day. I must always get the mail (as soon as I get home) and set the table (everyday at 6:30). I shall soon have do laundry and such to help aroundt the house - I rarely, if ever, do any hard labor. I'm such a weak little thing :) I am also very, very un-athletic. I suppose I must let it out: I have to have a scheduled time for exercise. I suppose an thirty minutes to an hour of DDR a day is more than sufficient. Then, warmup exercises before bed and after I wake up. Oh - I mustn't forget to take a bath. You see, showers are much more complicated than one would first think. I have to shampoo my hair ONLY EVERY OTHER DAY or else it fizzes out. So a bath every day, but only shampoo every other day. A bath should take no more than ten minutes, but I spend at least thirty minutes doing after bath rituals. Here is my little "ritual" as I joking refer to it.

Before the shower, I must undress quickly and jump in. Then, once I rinse, I shampoo - rinse - condition - rinse. Then comes the scrub (that reminds me, we're out!). I prefer something that smells light and has a "baby smell". After I finish that, I rinse again and jump out of the shower. Here comes the hard part. I put a towel, over my hair and get all the excess water shaken out. The floor is now really slippery. Then I put on lotion while I'm still wet, then I brush out my hair and put it back in it's towel. By then, the lotion has set in, so I put some powerder on. I do all those things I gotta do; shave, pluck, cut, whatever. And then I go to my room to dry. Then I don something and put on vaseline (chapped lips you know) and carry around a brush because I don't dry my hair because it gets REALLY fuzzy. I brush my hair periodically throughout the day, and straighten before I go to bed.

I probably bored whoever would bother reading this. However, I remind you, a lot of the time, typing out that, helps me remember everything. I have a very bad shorterm memory, remember. Back to my schedule. I often stay after for Geometry because I'm a dunce at it, much like Anne of Green Gables was. I feel comforted by that fact at least. I also have things that happen month, such as Honor Society meetings during the first Tuesdays of the month. And every two weeks, there is a dance. You know, those sort of things.

Allright, enough on this. I think I have covered everything and so forth. I shall print that out and write in all down in a spiral notebook as to remind myself to post it on my board. I feel that I must write about school. I have been working on my English report and finally am satisfied with it. My other report due; my journal and newspaper article, have been procrastinated far too long. I am finally working on it, and I must say, I am doing so feverishly. After all, it is due Friday. But I enjoy writing fake journals much more than boring reports. I will finish all of it tomorrow, after I come home from Geometry.

School has not been talked about in a while; here goes. In Science, I suffer from much boring writing and questions/answer sheets. I dislike such boring things. I wish that we could do more research on nature, like we did in Science last year, but it is not to be. In Geometry I suffer from lack of movement and brain development. I cannot seem to grasp Geometry, but I just want to learn/pass and get it over with. It's a crazy and stupid program, Novanet. Oh and today, we looked up our parents on the internet and found our ADDRESS and PHONE #. I mean, theirs. Ours is unlisted, so it can't be found easily. But bejesus, there was a MAP of where their house was and Drew even found a picture of his! Cheeseandrice! --- In English, reports and much movie watching. Today we are watching a very touching movie, I forget the name. In Band, practice as usual. We have much work to do and I'm actually PRACTICING, which goes to show you how hard we are working. History is simply History, but there was a study hour to do whatever I please today. In French we are watching Pirates of the Caribbean, for no apparent reason. It's PG-13, I thought teachers got in trouble for showing that high a rating to us. Not that I mind, hell, I'd love to watch the Patriot in History!

I'm glad I got all of that out of me! :) Truly, it was sweet! I must print out my report, give it to me mum for safekeeping and get to bed. Night!

much love,

tuesday, december 16 .2003

Today is Miguel, my darling little brother's, birthday today. I haven't gotten him anything, but I should - he bought me Harvest Moon for my birthday. The opposition is fierce. Money is so hard to come by when you don't do anything for it. I hadn't noticed. Funny how that works, I've never really worried about money and probably won't until I'm kicked out of the house, facing the cold cruel and blatently disgusting world. Many people, I'm rather appalled to say, have asked the ignorant question of "Are you rich?". Dammit, NO. This people, who claim to be mature, seem to think DOCTER'S DAUGHTER=RICH CHICK. Yes, I never worry about money. Yes, I suppose we are well off. But NO, that does not mean I can frivilously spend $$$! I'm grateful for what I have, but I am not, and I emphasize NOT, some FRICKIN' RICH BITCH.

I'm extremely happy with myself. First of all, I've added some new stuff for my blog. I now have an extremely neat blinkie I found on my pooter. However, I'm not certain if I made it, or if I got it before I could make blinkies. If it does belong to someone, then I will most definitely apologize and get rid of it immediately. I'm a bit of a borrorer anyhow - today, I took a long forgotten book (Diary of Anne Frank) and I plan to read and finish it tonight so I can hand it back in tomorrow. I'm not very good with library books either, never can remember to return it. In fact, I owe over a dollar at the school library. Oh no - I might as well run away and join the circus right now! I will so plug anyone who knows how to beg forgiveness from an stone-hearted librarian...or comments on my blog :)

Oooh boy. I was in the middle of writing, when I hurt a sound - a shout of anger and surprise - from my brother's room. He was in a tantrum 'cause his report on Christmas in the Philippines was deleted by his own accursed hand. He needn't of fretted, he printed the main portion of it out anyhow. I retyped it, because I have the highest word per minute in our family, but he's still bawling his eyes out. I hate to think this on his birthday, but he is such a...touchy child. I mean, the slightest mistake sends him crying. We are exact opposites in everyway. I wonder how much he is worth? I just took that oh-so-trendy survey. I was worth 1,304,000, but I'm sure I'll be worth more in the future. I'll take this test annually. I'd better go add my worth to my section.

There, it's been added. Ho hum, I must really try and update my stuff about anime/books/movies and entertainmentwise things. I really want to start a little bit of a review/background site for my favorite animes and such. I will start working on that as soon as I find time. Time does not come easily, I'm afraid. I even deleted my anime fanshrines for the time being - but they will be up as soon as I find time. I *really* want the Yu Yu Hakusho one to be up first, it doesn't get much credit anymore. The Me section is much easier to update, considering I have the endless resource of myself. I love to add random facts to that page. Harder it is to add photos - I can't bring myself to scan anything, not that my scanner will allow me to anyhow.

I did some Neopet stuff today; a great surprise. I updated the layout on the Anime Fusion guild. The activity has been lackly greatly on that guild, but I'm sure it will pick up soon enough. Such a pain it is - now I can't link geocities.txt images, I really need a domain or something so I can host images with bandwidth!! Miguel was so sad when he didn't win anything from those TCG cards. I think I will buy him a nice Xmas present this year; he is family, no matter how whiny he is. I could always give him Gruel cakes --- that's the trendy stupid Neopet thing I collect. Thanks to this user called galacticgold, I have many more now! I want to get all the way up to one hundred :) Oh yes, and Bunny (the leader of the guild that I was a member of on the account I deleted) has requested to be my neofriend on my main account, so I can still help out with the guild and everything. I feel bad just up and leaving like that, but I had no choice. Forced requisition.

I'm still on the topic of Neopets, seeing as I'm surfing it a little right now, replying to neomail and such. Some girl wants some more stuff from me - I don't see any reason in denying her. I'm such a softie, ne? I haven't done anything for ME on my account lately. Perhaps I ought to - maybe sometime this Christmas break. Earn a little NP, buy some gifties. I'm going to be a neomillionaire someday, I swear it!


much love,

I just realized how helpful it would be if I put the date on the top of each of my blogs. How smart is that? er...not very, but if you knew me then you'd be pretty damn proud. I also updated the layout - it's now christmassy and newyearish and awesome and I love how it turned out. I wish I could be hosted. I really do, now more than anything. Anyways, you'd be amazed about how many emails I got when I joined all those fanlistings. Lovely, truly.

I added a stupid todo list because I really need to. I'm too disorganized to not. *giggle* Well, at least it's added! Maybe I should make another one like the one I used in Temp. Version of this website when I first started..

I had to delete another account on Neopets. I'm really sad about it. It was animefemale...:( I hope that I won't have to do this anymore, it really hurts to leave an account behind like that. I just hope that Bunny won't be really angry with me, though she has every right to be.


december 13 .2003

First, I must say, I am really behind on gifts and shopping. How sad. I guess everyone must go without the *cough*cheap*cough* gifts I give all. How will Christmas go on? Speaking of shopping - I caved in on not buying into another stupid card game hysteria. But I couldn't resist the Neopets TCG cards. I mean, it's NEOPETS. I love Neopets.

             

I also got one of those REDEEM CODE cards. I won a little over 25000 neopoints. Isn't life grand? I have a huge list of fanlistings I must join because I'm a fan of a lot of things. I'm such an admirer. But there's no time for that, or for my ambition of cleaning out my computer. I am only on this machine because I have two reports due in two days and I need to finish them. :)

december 11 .2003

I am the queen of multitasking. Don't give me any of that oh yeah, I do that all the time shit. I am the queen, I am going to be up all night doing homework and it's all my damn fault. HAHA. I have a lot of stuff to do, but the most urgent thing is to finish my bloody journal and report. Then I will study a little for my Geometry test....but the stupid lockin in tomorrow too, and I have to get ready for that. Very little sleep tonight, not that that is any different than usual - and i mean that.

As for the whole "adding to the Time Stop" thing, I added some more junk. Time Stop indeed. Mostly, I'm just wasting time. I went shopping today. I bought a whole bunch of shit, and I love it! Well, must do my shit now. My word of the day is: shit.

december 8 .2003

I'm in the same stupid state as yesterday. Procrastinating homework. I am forver damned. I'm serious. No joke, none at all. No funny face, just a big frowny face. And this stupid quote from a stupid girl in the bathroom.

Oh, my god! You were in here , like, WAY before me and I was in here, like, WAY after all, and you're like STILL HERE.

I don't know if she realized she just said the same thing twice...and a the craziest movie-star-cheerleader voice I've ever heard. Katie and I thought it was the funniest thing; we quote it too often to be healthy. Ah...such idiotic talk. This one little freak boy said "talk to the BACK of my hand" as if that made the statement anymore original.

I have a very busy week ahead of me, so I've been skipping out on my Neopet "life". I have to let them know it, so that they won't kill me...*opens new window*. Haha, I suck. I suck a lot of things, but I think I'll just leave it to your imaginations. Who the hell am I talking to anyway?

Katie and Jessie are coming over tomorrow. At least, I think so, all three of us are a little vague about stuff like this. That's ok, we'll be fine, don't worry. Woohoo. I have sooo much homework I'm just going to make a list and complain. A helluva lot.

Science: Play some HARD catchup with old writing assigments and shit like that. I don't swear, I accentuate.
Math: Humongo assignment. Must start. Must finish very stupid Quadrilateral section.
English: Actually hand in that stupid English assignment that you keep perfecting.
Band: Figure out why the hell my clarinet won't play ass for me.
History: Finish writing stupid journal entry.
French: Do that stupid assignment you keep on forgetting.

Oh yeah and clean your room. That's all for now, I must DO these things.

december 7 .2003

I'm procrastinating homework and such :) I just got back from the Cottage and am enjoying a few minutes of online activity. I don't have access to a computer or the internet at the Cottage, but I didn't mind. It's actually a nice reprieve. Here's what I've accomplished on my little online empire. I updated my website, it has some new stuff about me. That's always good. And I'm really getting into this this stuff. Draco/Ginny *squeal*. I've sorta let this HP obsession slide a little, but now I'm all up and about it again thanks to websites like that. Ah... the joy of the fanworld. I also added that stupid right now thing that everyone has, but it isn't finished. I still need to thing of stuff to put :)

I'm doing well in school, especially since I took a break from the 'Net to get back on my feet. I did really well on a bunch of stuff and am not procrasitnating *as much*. I miss being that perfect little scholar I was when I was young. Right now, I have a huge geometry assignment and a combined English/History assignment that involves a book. Well, not much to say right now. I'll talk more later.

december 1 .2003

I'm happy now. I figured out how that stupid haloscan comments thing works. :) Took me thirty minutes. Thirty minutes staring at the computer screen. It probably bleached all the color out of my skin. Pfff

I have a track record going for me. I'm probably the only person who got Student of the Month and is being threatened with detention for being late to school so much. I need to get a clock that is exact to the constipating second, you know from Smart Solutions magazine or whatever. I swear, I set that clock exactly to the way I want it and then it's 20 minutes behind again in the morning. Stupid, stupid, gift-from-the-devil clock.

Neopets is very stressful for me! I spent three hours wasting my life on updating guild stuff. Why do I care so much? Argh!!! Anyways, I did that for a while and now I'm on my website trying to update. I got an offer to be hosted but it seems to have drifted off somewhere. I really want my own domain. Like caragirl.net :) How beautiful is that? I want a lot of things, but I'm not hungering for them or anything. So what if my wishlist is crazy-long?

I need to save all of my files again. That takes forever because I have to individually go through everything and it drives me nuts! Well, I have to anyway because I'm on a free server and I'm cheating it by covering up all the advertisements. ::shifty:: OK's moving on.

I need to get some smilies and some trendy blinkie name thing so that I look cool...^_______^ Anyone good at pixels here? What other bloggy things do I need? Um...that funky mood thing, that "currently..." thing..and maybe I'll put up a little todo/calendar thing. I got rid of it because I'm not on everyday so I couldn't update it. Hahaha.

You know, though I hate websites that are really guady and all pathetic (like mine...sure...) some of them have some good ideas. Or at least, shadows of good ones. I should add an opinions page sometime....Anyways, enough about all my online crap. Let's move onto me. Go away now.

I'm crazy about my stomach. I don't wanna be fat. Of course, I'm not but I'm mortally afraid of becoming overweight. I seriously am, I get all shivery at the thought! I'm not some crazy teenage chick or anything, but I seriously need to tone my abs! Lol :) Everyone thinks I'm so *skinny* because I'm four ten and sit up straight (and suck it in) all of the time. It's all about poise. I better start lifting weights or something. Maybe swim, but I hate swimming in the winter. I think you can guess why.

Riiight. I'm just rambling on, trying to sound like I really care. Really. I'll go now, and leave you in peace. Plus, I'll right more soon!
