So goth you're dead!
You are every goth-kids dream!


Which Ultimate Beautiful Woman are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

*laughs a bit* ..so this is what happens when I take a quiz in this sort of mood...this oughta be merani-chan's answer a bit more'n mine (read the mouse-over on the pic *hehe*)... *grins faintly* ..then again, it works a little....
and there weren't any answers I'd change, so..*shrugs*

Oh. Anyone who notcies my archives aren't working, drop me a note on here and let me know - they need republished every now and again, and I don't always catch it for awhile when they do.
 
*siiighs*
By all rights, this *should* have been a wonderful day..and it mostly was, only.....
SOMEONE beat the shite out of the back rim of my bike.
Rendering it unridable. And it's bent out of shape to the point where Dad can't fix it, tho he spent an hour or two trying.. either we're gonna have to take it to a bike shop and see if they can true it, or I need a new back rim entirely.
I obviously didn't do it, my bike was fine last time I rode it about a week ago, and I would've noticed were something wrong cos you literally couldn't ride it, the rim's so bent that it won't go 'round past the brakes. Dad would've known if he'd accidentally hit it with one of the cars, merani-chan obviously didn't do it...
...which leaves matantis. and/or his various and sundry friends.
So when Matt came in tonight Dad all jumped on him about it, *then* Matt came up here crying to *me* that he always gets blamed for everything, and I'm like, why the fuck are you coming to ME about this my bike is maimed and you're looking to ME for sympathy when you an' your friends are the only ones who coulda done it?!??! I don't think so.
So then he got all pissy with me saying he didn't do it, and his friends haven't been here all week (but they've been here since I last rode, I know), and--- gah.
..I felt like crying for like an hour, tho, cos I mean...my bike's that important to me, it's a part of me just like my flute...and I'd planned on riding over to the grandparents' tomorrow to go weed their gardens and stuff... but now I can't, I've gotta wait and see if Dad can give me a ride over there when he gets home..... and just... I don't know. as usual, Megs had better words for it than I did:


Achtung Meggie: that bike is a symbol of your freedom and independance
Achtung Meggie:it's there for you to escape and to play and to be alone
zoorebeler:*nods* yeah..
Achtung Meggie:and to take care of things for yourself

*sighs* So, yeah, that kinda killed my evening. blah.

But, mostly, it was a really good day... woke up about 9.30, but knew it was *far* too early to be up since I'd fallen asleep about 2am (and yes, megs, your theory on why I was up so late was correct..guuuh Lar. ^_~). So I ended up watching an ep of .hack//sign, which's mad good, then went back to sleep 'til about noon. showered, watched another ep of .hack//sign while eating breakfast, then burned cds and did stuff around my room and did jean-repair and whatnot most of the afternoon...
But I was all happy cos it was rainy out, and my morning glories sprouted!! :D It was so cool, the shoots were just barely poking up when I woke up, but now two of the three are about an inch high already (the other not far behind), with leaves starting to unfurl and I was all like YAY! cos I didn't think they'd sprout for another few days yet. ^_^
That, and I noticed that the pot I have them in was made in Italy, which is random but made me happy too. *giggles*
Last day of classes for everyone at c-c, so after dinner merani-chan and I were talking and hanging out and playing Crash Bandicoot Racing on her PS just cos, and we decided to go to a movie. So we went and saw Bruce Almighty which was really good (and had good songs - inc. Plumb's "God-Shaped Hole" yay!!). We got there mad early tho and Mel'd just gotten $5 allowance so we blew about all of it in the arcade. *laughs* But I won a watch cos i r0x0r so yeah. ^_^ (I actually quite like it. Hasn't got a light, sadly, but it'll do time and date and it's translucent blue and it's cool. *g*)
It was when Dad picked us up that he told me about my bike, and I was all mad upset... plus I was worried about Megs cos I'd thought something really bad had happened to her today cos I'm a spazz and worry without much cause sometimes *g*... so it wasn't so cool. But then Megs was ok, and her BabyAdam gave me a rose, and Himeros was impossibly sweet and offered parts for my bike (tho it didn't work out cos the bike he had has skinny tires and mine doesn't), and Megs' BabyAdam and I played doctor on her/his/my LilLar. *hehehehe*

Am on a random Luna Sea kick again. Someday I'll update the stuff to the side again.. I've been 19 for what, 6 months now, and thought I'd changed *that* but I guess not...oh dear. -_-;;;


Debating if I wanna do random movie thing tomorrow night... will probably go, I s'pose....only....I *do* wish these things would stop being on Friday nights eventually, cos that's one of the nights I have lots of time to talk with megs. *pouts*
*laughs*
Right, I'm making this sound like I have far too many social commitments for the amount of free time I have...when that's *sooooo* not the case. *mad giggles*

Life Lesson #357:
do NOT let checks bounce. evereverEVER. make SURE you know EXACTLY how much $ is in your checking account when you write checks. otherwise badbadbadbadbad...
What's killing me is that it was a check for like, $6.57.
And I'm getting charged $25.
gahhhhhhhhhhhhh. >_<
...there goes the $20 cash I finally got...yesterday.


So, yeah. That, got up at 5am, have been narcoleptic ever since and have CRAMPSOFDOOM gah okdie.

*sighs*

*thinks of nice random encounter with JT Lar last night*
*ghee*
^_^

Really, tho, things weren't so bad.. only had 2 Michaels to go to today, and the second one, had an order to put out.. which (understandably) annoys Dad cos by contract the stores are supposed to put these things out before he gets there, but he always ends up doing it...but it was a nice change of pace for me. *g* Got to put tubes of paint on racks, which is more fun than straightening brushes. And the other store played REAL MUSIC and I was mad happy, cos they played one of David Bowie's newer songs, something off of Heathen.. *checks a tracklisting* "Sunday". I think. And also that one, that I think I mentioned here the other day, that's techno-y with a Sinead vocal and I hope I wrote it down someplace cos it's good but it's not on WBER's site anymore gah. Anyway...
And I'm down to owing Dad $200 $220. (He's fronting a bit in my checking account for the moment, I'm getting to the bank asap tho and taking care of this myself...geh. need to reactivate my web account with them, reallybigroads to get there and I don't feel like trying to get my bike across 4-lane roads. or up gianthillofDOOM by the bank.)

Ehrm, right. No further epiphanies for the day, 'least not yet.. too sleepy. it's hot. Started drawing Bono looking at the moon last night, it's in nice vine charcoal so it's really pretty. *g* Only I can't get his mouth right cos it's open a little and smiles are fooking impossible to draw anyway without looking retarded. But his hair looks reeeeaaaallly good, it's looking kinda like War-era Bono. I think. Someplace between '82 and '86, anyway..

Stop reading. I'm just rambling cos I'm ridiculously out of it and whee.
Try googlefight, it's amusing. *g*

So, yay, finally got my archives set up the way I've wanted them for awhile, with the links down there. *points, tho you can't see my finger at all* Working my way thru the archives, fixing the colour from when I was using the oldold template and things... also prepping to change some things in my coding, when I get a lot of spare time and ambition..
 
gaaaaaaaah.
and now it just won't publish for anything... >_<
*sighs*
...
*has to laugh* we're all so fookin' spoiled, y'know? blogger was down for an hour last night, I nearly flipped out utterly now it's being slow and I'm all annoyed. it's *very* rare that blogger's ever really down...I'm sittin' here on a cable line, on a nice computer not quite a year old, in my room, listening to U2 on my nice happy WinAmp...
*will be patient* 0:)
 
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! and the view-blog thing in here views it down *THERE*, below where I type, 'stead of in a new window!
this does NOT work for ***stardust, which is big and pesky. :p
meh.
...going to study up on some html or java script or something, and nap. ^_^
 
AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*blinks*
*rubs eyes*
wtf????

...blogger re-did its interface... ... ok, it's prettier. *g* but it's freaking me out a little..... *shrugs*

Anyway..
Aung San Suu Kyi is alright, after worries that she'd been injured and etc. after an attack on her motorcade and the Mynmar gov't holing her up someplace.. so yay. ^_^

*blinks* dood. it keeps refreshing down there about ever twenty seconds. weird...

mad tired, went to work with Dad again... whatever $ I'd make working with him, he'll take off what I owe him - but I'll be getting some cash income from cooking dinner and doing stuff around the house and mowing, so yay.

meh. sorry there's been nothing interesting on here lately... not much interesting to report, really. mowed the back yard and made an almost-good macaroni salad (for the first time ever) yesterday... *laughs* that's about it..

Oh, and pop over to homestarrunner.com - the second-newest strongbad e-mail is from my brother's friend Sam. (Entitled "funny") Mad fun. ^____^ (For anyone out there who's somehow still unfamiliar with h*r, head into 'toons, then features, then strongbad e-mail.)
