Whew. Did some cleaning up on the blog template. The computater froze, but luckily Blogger managed to save my changes before that happened. Call it a first. I don't know why compy freezes; it only happens when I've been online for a while. And don't even get me started about the downstairs computer. *shudders* Apparently my dad rigged the modem and the sound card together, o something (I misremember the details) so now whenever one tries to go online downstairs, and uses the mouse to click, the little clicky noise the mouse makes upsets the delicate balance and causes the user to be kicked off. Not pleasant.

Eeeew. I have to drop toilet cakes into the toilet tanks. >.< Bleck. I hate cleaning, though there is a curious sort of catharsis that results afterwards.

Further news: Seems I'm going to be staying at Gen-chan's house on Monday, up til Friday, 'cos her parents are going camping and she doesn't want to go, nor does she want to be alone. Understandable, but I have a surprise birthday party to go to on Friday. I'll see if she doesn't want to come or whatnot.

You know, I don't actually have a say in whether or not I get to stay at Gen-chan's house. It's all worked out through our moms. The power and influence of Korean women. o_O Hey, I'm not saying that I don't want to, I'm just saying it wasn't my idea in the first place. ^_^;;

Ooh. Menstrual cramps. >_< Cannot deal with this.

Anyway, Matt didn't call, which pisses me off since I hate waiting for phone calls. So I thought, "Screw it" and went online. And here I am. Ho ho ho.

Evin got a blog. Yup, that's him. Apparently I'm the Game Queen. (Ain't that sweet? *^^*) Yeah, I'm moody, but hey, it could be worse. I might have poor taste in music or something. *cymbal crash*

....Mmm.... isopropyl.... *mouth waters*

You know, this song reminds me of the Song of Nephilim (a big ship thing) in Xenosaga, when you're just running around and that creepy singing lady in the background sounds like she's singing, "U-dooooo u-doooooo..." because UDO is this weird thing on Miltia. Or something. o_O I don't know if that's a spoiler, but it's creepy anyway.

U-dooo, u-dooo.... >.>;;

Hot. Too hot. Hot like I can't even sit here without sweating. >_> I was not built for heat, yo.

Anyway, just finished watching Blade II. I mean, at first I wasn't really paying attention 'cos I was writing, so I had no idea what was going on. I only really paid attention in the last hour, and damn near cried at the ending. Not the final ending, mind you, but about maybe... three minutes from the end. Sad stuff, yo. Pretty gruesome movie, but gave me lots of ideas. For Luthien, anyway. :D Aside from Seishirou, everyone's favorite psycho killer. (Okay, maybe not everyone's, but mine and Gen-chan's at the very least.)

I want to write, but then I think, what's it all for? I've pretty much got the rest of this story plotted out, then the sequel, and then the final novel. I'm still not sure what to do with Raveth (the best character of 'em all, but sadly not the main) and Asereth, but I suspect a lot of agony between the two. Hee. ^__^

I don't know. I love writing. I didn't hit 500 pages before July 17th. In fact, I'm only on page 489. >_> *sigh* Maybe I should forgo the whole "journey to the Neutrality's dimension" and focus on the other possible plotline of the Chae Sigue's demise. Not that any of you ('cept Gen-chan and spacecadeteer) have any idea what I'm talking about. But that's not what's important.

Anyway, Home Movies, then Family Guy. Maybe some writing in between. Tomorrow I'll hear from Matt. Nervouser and nervouser. Or something.

Okay! Now that Blogger is publishing again, sorry for being absent. Like I blogged earlier (this freakin' MONTH!) I have a job, and hopefully (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE) I may be going on a date soon.

I pray that Matt's message gets through to David, and David is likewise interested. (I always need a middleman for romantic pursuits, being as my head would probably burst from all the blood rushing to it when I tried to ask).

Oh, and I've been making plans to go to Japan this next spring. It's VERY tentative. Seems no one decided to tell me about the military hops, which are infinitely cheaper than flying there on a civilian plane. Plus, shorter (the trip is five hours to Okinawa, I've heard, since we're cutting right through military airspace). I pay $10 to go and $10 to get back, is what Steve (from work) said. He said it's all right if I go with his family.

There are a number of roadblocks, one of which is cleared up. I thought the hops were only for active duty, but I asked around and it turns out retired personnel and their families can go, it's just that AD personnel have priority. Another roadblock that I really need to ask about is if I need to have my sponsor (my dad) go with me, since I'm not eighteen. God, I pray not, because he's a truck driver and really can't take a week and a half off work to go with me to Japan. I wonder if, it being the case for him to go, they'd have my mom go instead.

That's the third roadblock. I haven't even breathed a word of this to my mom. I'm afraid she'll just shut me down. So I need to work really hard, get all the details, and possibly convince Gen-chan to go with me. Why? Because my mom's ALWAYS, and I mean ALWAYS more aggreeable if Kristen's doing the same thing or going with me.

For example, parties. If I ask to go to a party, it's always "Who's going?!" And if I say people she doesn't know, she won't let me. All I have to do is drop Kristen's name and BAM! I can go.

Not that I've been to many parties lately, anyway. ^^;;

But this is a great opportunity to experience the Japanese culture before I decide to pursue it further in college. If it turns out I have no interest in Japan (heh, not bloody likely), then I won't have spent time and effort on something I don't like before it's too late to call it back.

*sigh* So much to think about. The other night I was thinking about something that happened a while ago. I'd like to believe I've forgiven Evin for his completely rude and pernicious remark. You see, we were sitting in Mr. Dodge's history class during lunch, talking, and Evin was telling us about some people he didn't like sitting with him in his youth group, because he viewed them as hypocrites. Half-jokingly I said something along the lines of "That's not very Christian, Evin," to which he snapped, "Oh, shut up! What do you know?! You're Catholic!"

That may not be the exact account, but it's pretty darn close to what happened. And I have to say, just thinking about it hurts. We've made up since then, of course (this was back in maybe May or even April), but you know...

Heh. That little memory was brought up from an episode of Comedy Central Presents: Dane Cook. He is HILARIOUS. He was talking about mass, and how we were lucky because right in the middle of the ceremony the priest would sing, "Let's have some yum yums! I've maaaaaade snacks!" Heh.

....Christ Chex. XD Man. There are some advantages to being Catholic, I suppose. The only thing I didn't like was confession. Because... because. I don't think I need to explain why I didn't like it. Would you enjoy telling all your dirty, terrible sins to a man sitting behind a screen?! No, I didn't think so.

Anyway, I'm gonna jet. (spacecadeteer, where are yoooooooou?)

Please post blogger!

Why isn't blogger publishing?!

I got 4's on both my AP US History and AP English Language exam.

....w00t.

Blaaaah. >.<

Working on scenarios for sequel to novel. Said novel is currently... 470 pages long. Its anniversary is July 17th.

Anyway, took Mom out to dinner at the Great Wall Buffet for her birthday. Also gave her $80 (she only wanted money as a present, same as me). We also went shopping at mall, and I bought cargo pants and Dark Cloud 2. I have about $36 of the $200 dollars I took out of the bank, but oh well. I get paid again soon anyway. :D Having a job is great, especially since I only work three days out of the week.

Hmm, I'll go and work on my story some more. I want to break 500 pages before the one-year anniversary. Think I can do it? I hope so.

I was watching TV earlier this morning, flipping through the channels. Stumbled onto one of MTV's music shows, where at the bottom of the screen they show a little competition between two videos vying to be played, and watchers are encouraged to go online and vote for their favorite of the two videos. One of the videos was some song by some person, but when I saw the song title, I nearly cried.

They spelled "independent" wrong. >_>;; Need I say more?


Anyway, been working. Yes, I have a job. ^_^ I work for the government. No, seriously. I do. I have a CAC card and everything. Special code, too. :D I'm a cashier at the commissary. I thought I was going to be a stocker, but I misinterpreted what they were saying. I work Saturday and Sunday from 9:30 to 6:00, and Monday from 9:00 to 1:00.

Other than that, there's not much to say. I have straight A's for the third year running. I got 1240 on my SAT. Man, I really thought I broke 1300, too. I wanted to. The first time I took the PSAT I got 1140, second time 1220, so this time I thought I'd jump another 80 points and get 1300. But... no.

*sigh* ~_~ I'm probably going to retake it in the fall. As for AP scores... I really don't want to know.

Before I go, let me just say a couple things about Adult Swim:

Lupin III is hilarious. Reign the Conqueror makes me cringe at the horror of feminine men and masculine women.
