      ah hah!

quiz time:


You're responsible, sweet, gentle and lovable! You have a loving heart, a great respect for all creatures (human, great and small), and the ability to see the thing that makes each individual special. However, you tend to overlook the things that make you special, and thus, putting you in a position to be pushed around by others. Take some time everyday to reflect on your qualities, and see that you don't have to please everyone and still be loved for who you are. Which Love Hina Girl Are You?

      just realized it's been awhile since i posted here...

things have been going well...

i still have no ring. i also have "hypothyroidism", and after eight days of taking half of a synthroid pill, i had bad reactions to the whole pill last thursday...

so i now have a neat, yellow, plastic emergency room bracelet with my name on it. don't worry, they made me stop taking it. but i definitely still have hypothyroidism, and they will do blood tests in three weeks from now before putting me on another synthroid.

oh fun.

anyway, i miss you guys, i hope everything is going alright.

i'm stuck at work till ten tonight (i was actually late today because i forgot i'm coming in at one, not two, now), and i've been tired since ... three?

i'm not sure any more, i just know that i'm tired.

anyway, i'm going to stop now so i can read at least russell's diary.

love you guys.

current song stuck in my head: none, amazingly enough.
current mood: sleep?

      yeah, okay, it's been awhile.

but that's not why i'm writing.

kenny went and did the unbelievable, but oh-so-kenny thing today...

and we now have a ps2 (with kingdom hearts, ncaa football 2003, grand theft auto III, mark of something - 9.99 at best buy - and another game)...

and i also have the maison ikkoku box set dvds.

so, um, michi... wanna help me watch em?

current music stuck in my head: nirvana, "you know it's alright" (last thing on radio before i came into work)
current mood: i should have known

she last bloomed at 06:49 p.m. Tuesday, July 8, 2003:

      hmm... it's really 1:52. i decided to add something before i actually started working.

went ring hunting yesterday (boy, does kenny have me confused with all of it), and found an alright sapphire ring (oval, with two smaller round diamonds on either side), and a diamond marquis ring with two smaller baguettes on either side (which i'm starting to think i like, even though it wasn't originally what i was looking for).

we were supposed to go to the other mall today, and i was also supposed to have my blood sugar tested, but i couldn't get my butt out of bed before 12. which sucked, because it wasn't good sleep or anything.

six more minutes...

okay, what else is there?

i had russellito over this weekend! russellito and his beautiful, bonito red hair. russell is fabulous. and more of a drama queen than i ever was. or maybe i just lost all of my drama when i got ken. maybe that's it.

tonight i think we're going to do dinner (sushi) and a movie (t3, which i am scared will suck with claire danes, but the reviews didn't say anything about her getting emotional and crying, so maybe it will be okay.)

(and yes, i like baz luhrmann's "william shakespeare's romeo + juliet"... but i hate her crying. i think i actually yelled at her when i saw it in the theatres - which was after everyone had already seen it, so it was only me and my dad.)

(silly bastard. not claire, him. he can really be a silly bastard sometimes. of course, i'm a wuss, so i haven't told him.)

moving on... oh, look, one minute left. i guess i'll go get a drink (i have a coke in my locker) and get to work.

stupid work.

current song stuck in my head: i'm not admitting to this one

      ehh......

okay, so i've been flipping around - if you guys' pages were actual books, i'd have them all spread out right now.

michi, as always, has written her anime-induced notes. (and i saw her two days ago, so i know she's fine.)

erica has written down how she feels in this state of sickness (which russellito told me about monday, which is when i think i called him to kill time at work).

russellito himself has his usual drama (which i love - you can't pay for good drama).

and alex (whom i think is still in br now, but i'm not sure) has his parental angst going on in his last few entries.

and me, i've been fussy the past two days 'cause i don't have a ring yet.

damn it, you people are getting called.

j/k, erica.

anyway, i have some news, and rather than track you down to the ends of the earth, i decided to tell you guys here. (call to confirm the rumor, if you like).

i am engaged. it happened this morning. i don't have a ring (yet), and there is no date.

and no, i'm not going to turn into a sorority girl and only talk about weddings.

i am so upset. i finished phoenix yesterday, cried so much i almost couldn't read the last of it (literally - the words got all blurry i was so upset), and was okay after watching ferris bueller.

      it is late at night and i have this terrible longing.

i have felt this way before, many times, and i have to admit something:

i am in love with nabakov's never-ending nymphet.

i have just spent way too much time editing a picture of pq angels for anime love medley, and i am so glad i'm done.

the red-haired one is too like lolita.

"she was lo in the morning... dolly at school... dolores on the dotted line... but in my arms, she was always Lolita."

i think i will go weep while i do the rest of my cards.

(for those of you who haven't read Lolita, and don't want to, I suggest Adrian Lyne's movie version and Jeremy Iron's version of the book on tape. but Nabokov does wonderful things with the English language, and it's hard to realize them without the book in front of you.)

and guys whom i think read this: you are not boys. neither is kenny. jason is definitely a boy. whether or not he'd like to think he's grown up more in the past six months.

*sigh* oh well. i hit about five different porn ads trying to get in to pitas - and i keep having it pop up, so i gave up and just minimized.

anyone want an internet explorer? i will trade for a "dora the explorer"...

goodness. i managed to get anime love medley open last night after shooting fabulous pictures at o'cellaigh's (damn it, he's "adam" from now on. i think he's pretty much the only adam i know, too). i might have gone to bed at three in the morning, but anime love medley is good for now.

i still have... oh, uresei yatsura, tenchi muyo, and ah! my goddess cards i want to make, and i think michi is making ccs and chob... i mean, clover, for me. (her chobits cards are already on the site!)

she last bloomed at 04:35 p.m. Tuesday, June 10, 2003:

      okay, so it's been awhile. lemme 'splain. no, there is too much. lemme sum up:

(especially since i am at work)

okay, so, sunday was my sixth month anniversary with kenny. i made chocolate-covered strawberries, went to work, came home, waited on him to get home from NO, and then we went to eat. enough details for all of you.

yesterday was a little less fun. i woke up at nine or nine-thirty (which i didn't want to do) to go see my sister leave for 4H camp. (4H is an agricultural club, for those of you that weren't tortured.)

well, sunday my stepdad had found jason's (my ex-boyfriend, who can be summed up with the phrase "you're a magnificent bastard, wally," which can also be shortened to "baka") high school ring. apparently i dropped it in the driveway last summer while he was trying to get a date with jenny (a reveille photographer who seems nice, but looks nothing like the blond catherine zeta-jones i had in mind).

so i emailed him monday morning, and of course, he called as soon as he got it. which meant i had to get my butt back to campus (caitlin, my sister, had to meet the bus at Alex Box) to bring him that blasted ring.

he says he'll get me my 60 bucks later, but my mom doesn't think it will happen (oh yeah, i payed him 60$ so he could get the thing replaced, and at the time he decided he needed the money more than a replacement).

i should have just melted the damn thing down.

oh well.

then i went back home, cut 20 cards left to 6 (so that there are now 65 sailor moon cards done for anime love medley, since i did one today), and went to work from 6 to 10.

fun, eh? and then i got corralled into going back to bennigan's for the third time in a week (or second, but it seems like the third... i think one of those times was actually ruby tuesday's), and going to my friend dustin's house.

so i got into bed at one or one-thirty. right after i got in the door, of course.

on top of that, o'cellaigh (if that's how he spells it. his real name's adam) called me last night and wanted me to go out drinking with them (for david and someone else's double birthday party), but i didn't go.

he also wanted to do a photo shoot of me today. i think i'm going to have to call him when i get off of work, since i think he was supposed to call before i went in.

oh well. if it all works out, it'll be okay, and if not, maybe i can actually get anime love medley officially open today like i wanted to.

michi, if you're reading this, and it's still tuesday... i promise the sm cards will be up tonight. if i have to stay up until one. and the site is officially opened as far as i'm concerned! get people to join!!!

      checking email everyday is over-rated. i feel unloved, simply because all ... five of my email boxes are empty. all of them. because i check it everyday.

if i would learn to let it accumulate, i'd feel loved when i checked it, but michi likes to email often, and then asks me if i've read her emails, sooooo...

ah well. i only have 20 more sailor moon cards to make for anime love medley, and then i can find another series. like tenchi or something.

and those that know my affection for ranma 1/2 and love hina would be proud. in addition to the next ranma i need, i also managed to branch out and get the first Clover and the first Lupin III. yeah, you read right, Lupin. i like the show.

i've also now viewed the first nine cowboy bebops, which is a show i've been meaning to watch in order, instead of sporadically on adult swim. it's odd, though, because kenny's copies are all in japanese, and i'm not used to subtitles for that show. but it's cooler with subtitles (everything is).

now if i can just find beautiful dreamer (one of the uresei yatsura movies) and galaxy express 999 (the movie)... since my sci-fi anime tape (from... um. a lot of boyfriends ago. i'd guess '97 or '98) is going to die soon.

especially since my sister put it in the vcr that eats tapes two years ago (after making the vcr stop masticating my tape, the tape has since been treated like fine china, or like very very thin porcelain).

ah... i also noticed that paws is finally letting you get at your lsu desktop from paws (as in, from anywhere you can log into paws), so now i can update water kisses by putting all of my 4007 poems up.

that is, when i feel like it.

ps - michi, i just looked at your blog. nice to know you're reading mine =)

current song: um... lemme go fix it... no, winamp, not "electric youth"... ah, "rockin' the suburbs" by ben folds (five? was it the five with this song?)

hey, guys, one of you wants to switch bodies, right? come on - mine looks good without actually being physically capable of running for five minutes straight.

it also bleeds once a month, craves chocolate sporadically, and loves, absolutely loves to get sick.

plus, that whole "bleeding" thing - it only hurts a little. and it gives you an excuse to bitch. whine. moan.

all those things guys can't do without being persecuted by bleeding females. wouldn't you love the chance to bleed for five days and not die?

not one of you wants this chance?

please? you get to go through childbirth, too!

she last bloomed at 08:01 p.m. Monday, June 2, 2003:

      okay, so it's been awhile since i actually put an entry up.

i've been doing stuff. my friend from high school, michele, and i wanted to make our own online trading card game. so i was working on that. except i don't really have any artwork or a scanner right now(it's a fanart one - http://www.geocities.com/fanarttcg), so while she's doing her thing and making cards out of her artwork, i've been working on something else.

the page isn't complete - i'm still tweaking and putting stuff together, but i'm going to start a regular fanart dedicated to series with complicated (or maybe not so complicated) love plots, especially shounen anime like love hina and tenchi muyo) and if you like, you can see what i have up on geocities - http://www.geocities.com/anime_love_medley.

other than that things have been alright. i've figured out that kenny will only tell me he's sick if he's dying or aggravated (though after almost six months - on the 8th! - i should have known that because he's been sick before). he's been running a fever, and though i knew he had a headache yesterday, he never told me that it didn't go away.

and yes, from here, it's hard to tell anything is wrong with him. he's sitting on the small couch in our room and playing ff I and drinking his coke. hai, soo desu, he is drinking coke. no juice for this man.

oh well, he takes care of me when i'm sick, and in exchange i don't bother him when he's sick. he hates to be babied.

and don't tell me he secretly wants to be babied, because that only makes him sicker.

well... um... i'm in the middle of making a deck of cards for anime love medley, so i think i'm returning to that.

god, i was stupid today. i still don't know what possessed me to take my brother and sister to the mall of la, much less let them go in the candy store.

ack, he's stealing my chicken again! that's a bad kenny, bad kenny!

anyway, interesting culture note: my brother was born in 1989, so he missed all the good stuff (you know, Bill and Ted, Teen Wolf 2, etc. that's a joke...). anyway, he was talking about tha matrix reloaded (yeah, it's been "tha" mr for me for a while), and so i finally asked him, "hey, alex, how old do you think neo is?"

"what?"

"keanu reeves, how old do you think he is?"

long silence.... then... "27?"

michele told me last week that the guy is 40. but it proves my point: he could do bill and ted all over again.

      well, today was interesting.

i had a book fall on my foot at work today... which kind of hurt. i filled out an accident report, and then sat in the Lake After Hours waiting room for about an hour while they kept trying to call my boss, who was at dinner.

after they got her on the phone, it took them ten minutes to look at my foot, x-ray it, and decide that nothing was broken or chipped.

it's very red, though. with a slight bruise.

anyway. i got my car back yesterday, and after depositing a few checks, my account looks very nice. and i keep thinking i'm forgetting some obligation that requires a god-awful amount of money. it's horrible.

i think it's because anytime i get money, something seems to go wrong. i'm not used to having too much money, since that's about the time my car usually has problems. for my car to get fixed for only $40, and for me to have a nice amount in the bank, is almost unheard of.

i'm just waiting for something to happen.

and no, i don't think my foot balances it out =).

      at work again. yeah, i'm on break...

it still amazes me how crazy people can be in a library. i've been shifting tonight, moving books from one shelf to another, and the heavy ones tend to fall on me, or on the floor, or on themselves every now and then.

pretty early in my shifting adventures today, a bunch of Who's Who in America volumes decided to do just that. from out of nowhere, this woman just appeared, like the mists of time or something, and says, "Could you please not drop the books? That would be good... " and disappears.

first, i don't drop books. i don't like them on my feet. secondly, if you're in a library, you better pray that it's as quiet as it is tonight (apparently everyone thought the library would be closed on memorial day... i wish we were). third, who the hell actually uses the phrase "that would be good"?

not normal people.

oh well. in any case, i've been very quiet since i got home from erica's. i'm not sure whether or not it's the sleep issue (i still got about 8 hours or so, so i don't really think that's it), or just everything that happened.

maybe russellito did it. he's very high-strung (yeah, i know a lot of people that describe me that way, so no offense), and i think maybe after awhile, i forget how to be a drama queen, because he's so much better at all of it than i am.

and i take my drama queen title seriously.

in any case, i'm quiet. and i don't know why.

      on break at work now... you wouldn't believe how hard it is to think in an empty library.

my cousin angie graduated from LSU friday. the college of education has seen fit to release her to the wilds of teaching elementary. it won't last.

even so, it's making me wonder what the hell i've been doing the last three years. i'm a junior, i have great grades, and i still have two years to go - two extra semesters beyond what I should be taking.

of course, i waited until the last possible second to start taking spanish.

and if i hadn't failed japanese last fall, that would have helped, too.

but then again, i need 9 hrs of english, 3 of history, 3 of a social science, 3 in math, and 17 hours of electives, (plus 13 or so hours of spanish) so i'm not really sure that i could've graduated on time anyway.

how do you get so far behind taking 15 hours a semester? seriously!

also, someone explain to me what makes me think i'll get up at 7:30 next semester for Japn 1001 (which i failed last fall) if I wouldn't get up at 7:30 to pretend I was learning Spanish this semester?

      after at least two days of trying to get whatever set up for this journal, i am now halfway alright with it (although if my pictures don't work, i'll be highly upset), and writing.

i went to "tha matrix reloaded" and have decided it is good. as an action flick. which is something different from "tha matrix" but it's still good.

i had fun today, though. my best friend from high school, michele, and i went to little wars and bought dice (we're eventually going to play d&d, and i almost have a full set of clear teal dice, and a not-so-close to full set of dice with red swirls and teal numbers). michi only got a few, and none matched, but they were all pretty, and she was satisfied. it doesn't always take much for us.

i also bought ranma 1/2, vol. 6. i swear, i am addicted to takahashi rumiko. ranma, maison ikkoku, lum*uresei yatsura (the chick behind the p-chans is sakura from uresei yatsura)... i love her. that's all there is, i can't remember what else she writes (as i'm tired, and shivering with cold and caffeine), but that's all there is to it: i love her.

i hope my pics work for this journal, though. i wanted to start this thing so that alex (hi luv) could read it while he's in new orleans, and if it doesn't work (especially since he likes the top pic) i might cry.

anyway, i think i might go to bed now. i'm tired.
