Thursday, June 9th, 2005 @ 1:51 PM [This Sh!t Is Bananas! B-A-N-A-N-A-S!]
...'Cause I ain't no hollaback girl, that's why! ^_^; Yeah, I know what you guys are thinking. "The next entry's gonna be in another 3 months, right, hoe?! All you do is complain, anyway!" WRONG. I am going to be more and more frequent with this blog if it's the last thing I ever do. Plus, Angie's probably annoyed with me enough...*nudge nudge*...eh, I think I'm on her bad side at the moment, lol. I'm going to tend to this blog like I would a Japanese flower garden. I wasn't going to whine about it this time--because I always do--but I'm not a person who likes change. ^_^; DEAL WITH IT. *turns to the camera and mocks Saturday Night Live* IT'S SUMMER VACATION! Once again! That means it's probably time for a different layout! But I still like this one...so I'm going to keep it! ...Okay, I'll stop that now. This one's perhaps among the best I ever made...it doesn't scream any particular season...and I adore Gravitation. It's definitely a keeper then! We'll see, though. It depends on my mood or whether I feel like taking the time to whip up another one. I've been lethargic lately. Isn't it obvious? O_oJared Padalecki --> Yes, it's yet another boy in Sayuri's row of celebrity crushes. He seems like he'd be a sweetheart in real life according to some articles I've read. Nice, rugged Texan. His most recognized role is Dean Forester, Rory's first boyfriend, in Gilmore Girls & recently he took on a role in the gruesome horror flick, House of Wax, as Wade. He also appeared in New York Minute with the Olsen twins. Mmmm. *_* Here's an enlargement of the icon I have in the smaller column--delicious, ne?
I saw House of Wax about a week after it came to theatres. I must say, after the first fifteen minutes...it looked like it'd suck, heh. I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't seen it at this point; but, if you're a tad squeamish and can't handle too much blood and gore at once...this certainly isn't the movie for you. >_@;; All I'm gonna say is that everyone that is destined to die, dies consecutively...one after the other...in the strangest ways you never thought a person could be murdered. Ugh. There was a little nudie scene with Jared--not sexual--and you couldn't see any of his "particulars". (BOO!!!! ...*ahem*...*drool*) I was satisfied regardless! ^_~ It was a pretty good horror movie overall. I didn't see the 1953 version; and, I doubt it was anything but a remake of it from what I gathered. They do, however, make a reference to Vincent Price's version by naming a certain character Vincent. No comment. Muahahaha.
SayClub Dolls --> For some reason, I am more obsessed with them than ever! When am I not obsessed with something, lol? I haven't focused on dolls since I had a crappy little Geocities site, when I didn't even know HTML, like 4 or 5 years ago. They're so pretty in their own right. If you still have no clue what I'm talking about, take a gander at the navigation column. They're those little anime-inspired animations I use to represent my emotions under my Interact-With-Me Sayuri section. I just got addicted last night and saved a bunch to my hard drive that I loved. The...thunderstorm night. *shudder* Anyway, if you'd like to use SayClub dolls on your site(s), Google it to get pages that distribute them or go directly to SayClub. It's all in Korean, so you may have to translate it if you haven't brushed up on the language.
And I have a few more closing notes before I vanish into oblivion again, heh. I've gotten a lot of e-mail, over the course of a month, requesting the Gravitation episodes. I'm not quite sure I can promise you those anymore. It's really hard to transfer such huge files through e-mail or by means of anything else. I recommend using Morpheus (or KaZaA...very similar to Morpheus) or even Bit Torrent. I apologize! Secondly, I'm going to Florida in a couple of weeks so don't miss me too much! You're all so used to my absences as it is...lol. Peace easy, peeps! Don't forget to comment!

WOW. Just WOW. I set an all time record now...*sigh* But, instead of always complaining how negligent I am...I'm going to be on the positive side tonight! From my last blog entry, things were a little rocky; however, they got right back on track and things are going great! ^_^ I'll sum up all the anime-ted things that have happened in the duration of these 3 months--and lots of other things, too. Dunno if anyone even cares to read this blog anymore, heh. God BLESS YA if you do! 'Cause I love you and I'll be your new best friend. Muahahahaha. Ha.

Friday, January 21st, 2005 @ 8:47 PM [Welcome to Massachusetts--GRAB A FREAKIN' SHOVEL!]
Oh man, has it been one crazy-ass year already, lol. I'M SORRY I'M SO NEGLIGENT! But uh, Happy New Year to you all! It wasn't such a bad Christmas. I can't complain...I got loads of money (and a new Samsung camera phone, babay!)...but I sort of blew it all so quickly that I didn't even realize I had too much left. O_o Lordy. Money goes to my head. It's sad. I'm curious as to how your holidays went, though! Comment below if you want me to know! Woo, this year's so crazy it makes me rhyme. Heh. ^_^; I digress; I bought "Tales of Symphonia" finally! It looks so good so far--but I need My Royal Dorkiness, Jordan, to help me with it. For some reason, my video-gaming skills have reached their end. That's what happens when you beat a game and then let your GameCube collect dust after a while. *sigh* Of course, the year came off to a semi-bad start not only because of that! I missed a new ep of "Phil of the Future" on New Year's Day. Aaaaaaaaaaaah! That sucked. They didn't even announce they were going to show a new one! Disney Channel has been so unfair lately. And, from then on, Massachusetts became the new North Pole. We had like, five snowstorms already since the New Year. Oh, and it was literally 4 degrees outside this past week. Supposedly, I heard that because of the hurricanes down South, it leads to a bad winter in the North. Thanks Jordan, for your stinkin' Miami hurricanes making me have a cruddy winter up here. Thank you. If I could, I would ship some of my high-quality snow down to you right now...but it'd melt...so you'd luck out. >_< Grr! Ah yes, and that reminds me, we have yet another snowstorm on the way tomorrow night. Poo. I need to move to Japan or something. At least they have what I like--good food and anime. Sweet.

Saturday, December 18th, 2004 @ 6:00 PM [Gravitating 4 X-mas]
Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever want to run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming...
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life...
Woo! Today's Christina Aguilera's birthday! Mmm, I bet Mr. Hangover's gonna come visit her tomorrow morning as a belated birthday present...heh. ^_^; Crazy celebrities. Just thought I'd mention her big day since I have been a fan of her music for quite some time. I remembered today was the day because in eighth grade I read her biography for a book report. O_o Does anyone care? Probably not, lol. But, it's my bloggy and I'll rant if I want to!

Wednesday, November 24th, 2004 @ 6:26 PM [Turkeys Roasting On An Open Fire...]
Dude, anyone notice people have already done their Christmas shopping?! O_o You may be one of those freaks (no offense); but, for cryin' out loud...it ain't even Thanksgiving yet! It's sick--and my Dad has also put up the Christmas tree to boot. He has never...ever...done that. It's also the first time we've had a fake tree. Although, I can't complain...it looks a heck of a lot prettier than a real one and it won't shed its needles. What the hell is going on, anyway? We may as well just forget about this turkey-worshipping holiday since nobody seems to give a hoot anymore. It's just Halloween ===> BAM! It's Christmas-time. You know, the Pilgrims and the Native Americans were NOT the first to celebrate this "Thanksgiving". It's a common misconception. The first Thanksgiving was actually observed in America's oldest city--St. Augustine, Florida--with the Spanish settlers in...the 1500s...if my memory serves me correctly about that date. SO WE WERE LIED TO ALL OUR PATHETIC, LITTLE LIVES! AND WE CALL OURSELVES AMERICAN?! >_@; Now I feel smart, lol. Yeah.

Sunday, November 7th, 2004 @ 12:06 PM [I'M STILL ALIVE! O_o]
Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it's all a big surprise
'Cause there was a time when all I did was wish
You'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped or how I planned
But somehow it's enough
And now we're standing face-to-face
Isn't this world a crazy place?
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
All of the nights you came to me
When some silly girl had set you free
You wondered how you'd make it through
I wondered what was wrong with you
'Cause how could you give your love to someone else
And share your dreams with me
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see...
Blesséd shnackles. I feel so bad for not updating on a regular basis anymore! I'm so busy with everything lately. AND it's not my fault it's not summer when I have nothing going on in my life! Yeah, yeah, yeah...I know I use those excuses a lot...but it's the honest truth! >_< You think I like neglecting my blog? HUH? HUH?!?! Okay...I'm gonna calm down now, lol. I shall discuss what has happened over the course of the month, anyway, since this is what this thing serves its purpose for, heh. *rubs hands together* Here we gooooo-ooooo! (Any *NSYNC fans--or former fans--out there know what I'm talking about. ^_^;)
All right. First order of business! Saturday, October 9th, was the best day of my life up to date. Seriously. You can predict me bringing up my crush/friend in the next sentence, can't ya? Lol, well, if you do--YOU'RE FREAKIN' PSYCHIC, MAN! YEAH! So here's the sitch--he and I met up at the mall. We walked around and had a few laughs, bought stuff, ate lunch...well, he ate lunch and I watched him 'cause I already had eaten on account of it being my aunt's birthday. Anyhow, after schleppin' around for like, three hours, we finally sat down to take a rest. We chatted a bit more and then I had to leave because I had piled into my aunt's car as a mode of transportation to the mall along with all the other female members of the family that wanted to come. It was really...bad...because everywhere I went with him in the mall...they constantly tried to embarrass me if I ran into them. ^_^;; When he and I were sitting on the bench, I decided to give my Mom a call and so she asked me where I was; and, when I told her, she was in the store RIGHT ABOVE US on the second floor so she had a clear view of us on the bench. *sigh* I can't win. ;_; He didn't seem to mind, though, since he's such a sweetheart. He even went over to introduce himself and shook my Mom's hand VOLUNTARILY when I said that freaky lady that was calling my name behind us was my Mom, lol. So, he just responded by laughing and waving up to her at the balcony she was standing at, heh. That's gotta be some implication that he likes me back...*_* I mean, boys just DON'T go up to parents like that unless they're interested in your daughter (or...son nowadays, perhaps...heh). Well, with that aside, when it was time for me to leave (like I said before getting sidetracked...), he hugged me! And he looked like he wanted to kiss me! BUT I TURNED MY HEAD AWAY AND I WAS KICKING MYSELF AFTERWARDS FOR IT! *dies* Eh, it was still the best day of my life, lol. ^_~
Next humungo-dungo topic...HALLOWEEN! Hell yeah, I went trick-or-treating at my age! XD It was great. Although, it gets to be a pain every so often when you go down every street with these nitwits that draw some creative images of uh, vital...body parts on the pavement in shaving cream and toilet paper. That leads to more cops patrolling the area...ick. *shrugs* I'm not disappointed...I got mostly all the family-sized candy bars which rocked my socks. I still have a bucket full of 'em left! It'll go fast, though...*grins* Oh yes, and I have one additional, important announcement in regards to the stunning Ricky Ullman:
---> I've gotten tons of e-mail asking if I know Ricky personally or if I know his e-mail address or his actual home address. Well, here's your answer...
*takes a deep breath* Ah, that felt good to get out. O_o I'm just a simple fangirl trying just as hard as everyone else in love with Ricky to meet him, lol. Please refrain from e-mailing me about this subject in the future! ^_^; Anyway, what you can do to get more Ricky Ullman in your diet is to watch the new "Phil of the Future" episode this upcoming weekend and wait until "Searching For David's Heart" premieres in a few weeks! That should hold y'all over! More information is provided in my "Phil of the Future Mini" section in the column to the right. ^_^ And I guess that's all I have to say for today...except that I used the "Save The Best For Last" song in my entry is that it reminds me of the Yuki x Shuichi relationship in Gravitation. That's all! See you...hopefully sometime this month, lol...please comment if you'd like!

Saturday, October 2nd, 2004 @ 4:24 PM [The Reviewee of Hilary D's CD...and A Bit of Ricky]
Yes! It's that Hilary Duff fan-time again in Sayuri's blog! I bought her new, sophomore album today which was conveniently self-titled Hilary Duff. It's amazing. There are 17 songs in total. This CD is so much more advanced, and serious than her debut album that dropped in August of 2003. Her first album, Metamorphosis, was more of a bubble-gum pop themed CD. This album shows how much more she can rock out her punky self with some deeper, but cutely intense, lyrics. In other words, this is more rock-toned; but, it doesn't change the fact that it is still very good. Her voice has even changed a bit for the better! She has truly come a long way since her first swing at an album. I think she'll be even more successful with this one. Great job, Hil! (As if she reads this blog...lol. O_o) I'll give a brief review of every song with a corresponding rating for it.
Key:
* = What reeks?! @_<
** = It's so-so, mi amigo. n_n
*** = Three is the magic number...almost! ^___^
**** = Can't get any better than four...I adore! *____*
1.) Fly *** - This was the first single--and now the first song--off of the spankin' new CD. I would've given it a four-star rating...but I didn't care for the music video, lol. I think that's what's making me hold back, heh. It has a catchy beat with the piano playing in the background at first...then a whole bunch of rocking instruments come into play. It has some powerful follow-your-dream lyrics, too. That's always a plus!
2.) Do You Want Me? **** - This song reminds me of reggae music when it starts out, lol. It's cool. The whole beat and melody of the lyrics flows so well. She asks the question like, "Do you...want me?" You'll see when you listen to it! Then as the chorus comes, it speeds up dramatically. And just to show you how much she's changed, one line of the chorus in this song is: "You'll never know 'til ya get me alone..." I found that a little suggestive...but not in a bad way! Again, another cool song.
3.) Weird **** - OMG. I must love this song because I'm weird, but hey, lol. I can't explain it. It's one of the shorter songs on the CD, but it still proves its splendor. She starts out describing things about a boy and how it's "weirder than weird". It may sound cheesy how I just threw that lyric in here...but it's not like that at all. The sound of it makes you want to jump into a mosh-pit, lol.
4.) Hide Away **** - Of course, you can probably tell this one of my favorite songs already since it's under my column as my song at the moment. It's one of the slow songs on the CD and it also appears in the upcoming movie of Hilary's, Raise Your Voice, which premieres on October 8th. It makes me think of my crush. *_*
5.) Mr. James Dean **** - This is such a fun song. The beat is a great factor in yet another song of her's again. Her voice goes crazy in this song. That's why I love it so much, lol. She literally raises her voice at such a level of screaming that it's awesome. You'd hate it in any other song, but it goes so perfectly with her. "You're nothing like him...so don't call me friend!"
6.) Underneath This Smile ** - All right. This is the first song I'm going to have to be harsh with, heh. I don't really care for it too much. It just...sounds...a bit suicidal, dare I say. ^_^;;; "It feels as if I'm naked when you're standing in the room..." Whoa there, Bessie! Sorry, Hil; you kind of bombed this one. Good lyrics, don't get me wrong, but it just not her.
7.) Dangerous To Know *** - I think she made a comeback on this one from the last song I reviewed! Lol. She starts out like she's narrating a horror/suspense movie at first--just listen and you'll know what I mean. It's a really cool effect she put into it! Oh, and when she sings the first part of the chorus, she kind of reminds me of Sinead O'Connor, lol.
8.) Who's That Girl? **** - Oh man, she may've had a lazy point earlier...but she sure knows how to make up for her mistakes! This song blows me away. I think it's one of the best on the CD. It's a bit more slower...but it's kind of fast, too. Unbelievable. "Who’s that girl...where’s she from...no she can’t be the one...that she would...that has stolen my world...it’s not real, it’s not right...it’s not day, it’s not night...by the way, who’s that girl...living my life?"
9.) Shine *** - It's...okay! I'd give it a two-star rating, but its beat and background music is cute. The piano that plays kind of reminds me of the "Doogie Howser, M.D." theme, lol.
10.) I Am **** - Another one that is definitely one of the best off of the CD. I highly recommend this song. It's very inspirational when girls need a lift, especially. The chorus is just fantastic...it's very simple with her stating "I am" at the beginning of every line, but it gets you when she sings "...I am..." so powerfully at the end of every chorus. Yay!
11.) The Getaway **** - This is such an interesting song. It intertwines a pun between talking about a car and her relationship with a boy. "You tell me that you love me first, then throw your heart in reverse..." Beautifully done lyrics.
12.) Cry * - ...The worst on the CD. O___o; I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. *shakes head in shame* I can't even give her the benefit of the doubt...I don't really like the song at all. It's emotional, yes, but nothing to shout about.
13.) Haters **** - Wow, what a wild ride back up the ladder! It's got great, angry, kick-ass lyrics. This song and the way she sings it, reminds me of The Go-Go's, lol. Maybe it's because Hilary and Haylie did a remake of "Our Lips Are Sealed" by The Go-Go's and were inspired to take after them on this song...dunno!
14.) Rock This World **** - It's like "Haters" but more angry, lol. It's really cool. She totally throws her punky self out there with her awesome lyrics. Wowzer! Another girl-powered song!
15.) Someone's Watching Over Me **** - This is SWEET! I believe this song is also featured on the Raise Your Voice soundtrack. It's also very follow-your-dreamy, too. The melody and lyrics are adorable. It's so addicting. It's my new anthem! A must-listen song. "No I won’t give up...no I won’t break down...sooner than it seems life turns around..."
16.) Jericho **** - Aw, this is another catchy song! "The walls will tumble...the walls will tumble...but I'm not gonna cry...my heart won't crumble...my heart won't crumble...if we ever say good-bye..." It's so insanely cute, too, as you could've probably figured out from the lyrics. A-DOR-ABLE. A favorite of mine!
17.) The Last Song *** - This is a slow last...song! It's also a cute ending to an incredible CD. It's a lot like "Inner Strength" on her first album...but I liked this one much, much better.
Yeah! How'd ya like them apples! Basically, her CD rocks. It's like a rollercoaster...sure, it had some steep drops, but it came back on top of the world. ^_^ Okay, I just wanted to make a brief update on the "Phil of the Future" episode last night. It was called "We'll Fix It In Editing". I don't want to spoil it for those who missed it, but it featured three Ricky Ullmans all at once in a couple of scenes. *________* Ahhh, sweet Ricky. It was an awesome ep. The only thing was...the friggin' Phil and Keely sexual tension came ripping back to haunt me again. They totally flirted with each other more than all the other episodes COMBINED. At the end, I seriously thought Keely was about to kiss him when she put her finger to his mouth to hush him. They just seemed to look at each other like...with burning passion, lol. Their facial expressions told all. Like how he suavely told her she'd get the lead role in his student film and she gave him this sexy-looking smirk saying how she gets the best role because she's his best friend. See, that's the beginning of freakin' sexual harrassment in the working world! Dammit, why must they begin it on Disney?! O_o Ohwell, good ep, anyway. Heh. Catch y'all on the flip-side!

Saturday, September 18th, 2004 @ 2:37 PM [Love Is A Many Splendored Thing...]
I'm staring out at the sky
Praying that he will walk in my life
Where is the man of my dreams?
I'll wait forever how silly it seems...
How does he laugh; how does he cry?
What's the color of his eyes?
Does he even realize I'm here...
Where is he, where is he, where is he?
Where is this beautiful guy?
Who is he, who is he?
Who's gonna take me so high?
Holy. CRAP. Has it really been almost an entire month? I'm so sorry to the people that read this blog. First my laziness turned into a few days without updating...then a week...then a few weeks...now a MONTH! I've just been totally busy and lethargic about everything lately. Starting school, meeting new people, and all-around starting anew. (Blech, I feel very full at the moment from eating lunch so bare with me here, heh. O_o) So, please don't think I have been neglecting this blog of mine. It has been at the back of my head everyday. But, before I continue, please give a warm welcome to Lauren--my new affiliate--at her blog/site Milky - Wish. It's truly a pretty place to visit...so stop by!
*rubs hands together* Let's begin with the ultimate fangirl's dream! A MASSIVE congratulations to my blogger-buddy Megan! She has conquered the almighty...yes siree! Megan officially met Ricky Ullman, Alyson Michalka, Lise Simms, and Amy Bruckner (basically the immediate cast of "Phil of the Future") last Saturday, September 11th, at ABC's Primetime Preview Weekend. Uber-squeals to Megan! ^______^ I'm still waiting for pictures! Ya better get 'em up soon or I may have to take desperate measures, lol. >_< And the world collectively turns a shade of green out of unbearable envy...XD
Anyway, September 11th was not only a good day for Megan (kind of ironic to say since it's infamous for the terrorist attacks...) but it was Founder's Day in my town. I had to perform my dance from last year in front of every person I ever knew on this wooden platform where you could actually make out who was watching you. Ick, right? *sigh* Well, a week earlier, my crush who is now my good friend...told me on AIM that he would have a better excuse to go to this year's Founder's Day so he could watch me dance. O_O; So, after I danced, I was relieved because I didn't see him there at all. I was so glad he either missed it, or didn't come, lol. I mean, it's embarrassing after all--especially those whorey-looking costumes. Lo and behold, though, I saw him weave through the crowd and scope me out...God, I thought I was gonna puke by that time, heh. ^_^; It just made me so nervous knowing I was finally going to meet him...formally in person, that is. He's the sweetest guy I ever met. *dreamy sigh* Now we call each other n' stuff. ^_^ I am so close YET SO FAR AWAY from being his girlfriend, lol. I hope that's soon...and I hope that he hopes it's soon, too! Hmm, nothing much else really happened that is of importance to announce here.
Oh, and one last thought of the day...if anyone makes rude, obnoxious, and vulgar threats/remarks in my comments section again...I'll track you down. I have a special way of doing it--don't think you can be a smart aleck. There's nothing worse than having an idiot that has no life spam a comment box. If you do that--get a life. Now, I don't want to end this entry on bad terms; but, please don't do that. It's very childish and moronic. Blogs are meant for expressing opinions and point of views from people's lives. So, I'm saying...don't harrass me just because you don't like how I don't agree with your ways of thinking. For example, I have awful and obscene messages about Hilary Duff and Danielle Faurot in my previous entry of comments. That disgusts me. As corny as the age-old saying may sound--"If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all"--it's true. You don't have to listen to me bitch about this in your offline life, but the least you can do is obey it while you're visiting/reading my blog. That's all I ask. Thanks! I should be back soon for more updates--I promise! Peace out.

Thursday, August 19th, 2004 @ 2:12 PM [H.A. Duff n' Stuff]
In a moment
Everything can change
Feel the wind on your shoulder
For a minute
All the world can wait
Let go of your yesterday
Can you feel it can it coming
Can you feel it in your soul
Can you trust this longing
And take control
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life
And start to try
Cuz it's your time
Time to fly...
Oh God, is it ever hot again. I know, I keep complaining about the heat...but, this is New England! We're not supposed to be this heat-stricken! *bawls* ;_; It gets off-and-on cloudy to the point where it's so dark you'd think it's night; then, it goes back to being incredibly sunny. Stupid weather. Bah. Just thunderstorm already so I have a friggin' excuse to put on the air conditioning. *sigh* Oh, I just saw Kelly Clarkson's music video for "Breakaway". I can't say it was the whole one because Disney tends to shorten music videos when they show them for some reason. It was semi-cute. She had this little girl lip-syncing to her voice and it was kind of weird, heh. Oy. My stupid fan is not helping me cool down at all. There is no breeze and it's gradually making me miserable.
Onto Hilary Duff! Erm...that could be taken many ways, but I'm not making a perverted joke so stop thinking bad thoughts! O_o So, how do you like the lyrics to her song? I like 'em. They're really cool--and it's a great song, too! You can find it on Morpheus, KaZaA, or any other program you use to download music. I would upload it so you guys can hear it right now for your convenience; but, I don't know if Angie would be too happy about me storing MP3s in my account. Heh! But, there is a way you can hear it if you stay patient for a little while! Her music video for "Fly" will premiere on "TRL" (Total Request Live) on MTV on Wednesday, August 25th. Although, if you want to see it even quicker, go to the front page of Yahoo! or LAUNCH, which is really the music section for Yahoo!, and Hilary's music video will be there for you to download/view. They have many other music videos for you to select from at LAUNCH--including Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway" that I mentioned in the previous paragraph. Hilary makes her star-studded life seem so easy, also. Can't get any better than her strength in show business, I suppose! Here's a quote:
I need to come back later and tell you all about my dream! I'm just worried about this thunderstorm heading near us...so, I'll come back and edit soon! Ta-ta for now!
[EDIT] :: Okay, I'm back after four hours of more...boredom, but hey, lol. Eh, the thunderstorm never came. I knew that was going to happen. There's always wrong when it comes to predicting stormy weather. Now, about my dream! For the past two nights, I've had dreams about "Phil of the Future"--Ricky Ullman, Alyson Michalka, and Amy Bruckner mostly. The first dream consisted of a big white room with white halls also branching out of it; and, there was also a white stairway to go along with the whole theme. Anyway, Ricky kept walking down these stairs repeatedly--maybe two or three times--like someone was rewinding the scene. Then, the next thing I could remember was that Ricky, Amy, and I were sitting on in a circle on the floor of the room. After we talked for a little while, it was time for them to go. So, Amy hugged me and hugged a few other people that were there and waited for Ricky. After Ricky hugged everyone else, he stopped and stared at me momentarily and slowly hugged me back. Ah, sweet, sweet Ricky. *_* Yes, I woke up with a smile on my face! Woo! That was perhaps one of the best dreams I ever had, lol. The next one was only with Alyson Michalka...and I was friends with her, heh. That's all I remember from that one. We were just laughing and stuff. Good times. I think this dream was an omen, lol. Maybe it's trying to tell me I'll become friends with the cast! O_o I wish, oh yes I do. Oh, and since I found Ricky Ullman's ex-ugly-girlfriend-that-only-has-the-title-of-being-a-model's screen name, Danielle Faurot, I read her profile. And she sounded pretty vengeful against Ricky (Raviv, his real name, in her profile):
Shout outz:
David- you $uck! LOL, j/k...I heart ya!
Jesse- hard to believe that's little Jester there! You all, be sure to watch Jamie's Way!
To my Danish sweetums lol (a.k.a. Dane)- just remember you're tied to me
Rae-of all the sweetness (::choke:: j/k)
Raviv-Maybe you should just stop dating your ex-g/f's best friends.....maybe that'll work, hun.
'Nuff said. I don't want to get too worked up...heh. I'll inform on more "Phil of the Future" updates. I also have an update on an anime for once, too! Pokemon is now going to release a bilingual DVD with English and now Japanese! We're finally going to see the sub, ladies and gentlemen! It'll be released in October. See more info at Amazon.com here. See y'all later!

Wednesday, August 11th, 2004 @ 12:41 PM [A Princess's Diary]
Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay a while
And she will be loved
And she will be loved...
And yet another whole week has gone by. Oy. And one week closer to school...O_o Three more weeks til D-Day, heh. Summer goes by all too fast, as just about all of you may agree. Anyway, reading Megan's journal has made me even more addicted to things I was already dangerously addicted to, lol. Although, there were some things that introduced new obsessions to me. "Danny [frickin'] Phantom". Oh my God. It is seriously one of the best cartoons ever. It's by Butch Hartman--the creator of "Fairly Odd Parents"--so right off the bat you expect it to be entertaining, anyway. I love both of the shows more than I ever did now. Just when I thought Nickelodeon officially sucked, they retaliated with something good. Gotta love Butch Hartman for that. ^_^ Actually, his shows are really the only good shows on Nickelodeon nowadays if you think about it. They should bring back all the old-school shows like "Salute Your Shorts", "My Brother and Me", "Welcome Back, Freshmen", "The Adventures of Pete & Pete", and "Doug" just to name a few. The good old days. Yay! I made some "Danny Phantom" icons, too. They're bigger than the average 100x100 dimensions, but I like them bigger. *shrugs* Hope y'all like 'em! I'll post some anime ones I made later.
And now I shall talk about my Disney obsessions. Insert girlish squeals after all of the exclamation points: "Phil of the Future"! RICKY ULLMAN! "The Princess Diaries 2"! "The Three Musketeers"! SQUEEEEEEEEE! Ahem...okay, enough of that, heh. Megan (my fellow Ricky fangirl and blogger) and I can hardly wait to see Ricky in his pimp clothes on Friday, lol! XD Yes, you read that last sentence correctly--Ricky in PIMP CLOTHES! Friday night on Disney Channel, they're having a Blast From the Past marathon. They're all old-school episodes of our favorite Disney Channel shows to boil down to THREE NEW "Phil of the Future" episodes that explain how life was like before the Diffys came to the 21st century and when Keely found out that Phil was from the future...hence the name, heh. So, here's the rundown for Friday's schedule: three "Kim Possible" episodes--four "Lizzie McGuire" episodes...all to boil down to the new "Phil" eps at 6:30/5:30c PM. Well, then, get your popcorn and 'jamies ready because we're in for an exciting evening. Oh yes. ^_~ C'mon, spending one Friday night in won't kill ya! Did anyone see that "Tiger Cruise" Disney 411 commercial?! DAAAAMN, Ricky looked like he didn't shave (as I said that for the umteenth time to everyone, lol)! Then at the end when he and Monica (the D-411 girl) was signing off...they both turned around and it looked like he was smiling on cue--it was just too funny--you had to see it in order to understand, lol. And that reminds me...I wrote up some scripts for "Phil of the Future"! Go to the column to the right and see the ones I wrote up!
One last thing I wanted to include was that "The Princess Diaries 2" is in theaters today! I wasn't too interested in seeing it at first, but since Disney promotes so well, it probably drilled through my brain that I must see it, lol. Maybe it was subliminal messages...heh. Anyway, I watched the ABC Family half-hour special on the music behind the movie last night; and, I love all the songs. They're so good! I wanna buy the soundtrack now! ^_^ Plus, the "Break Away" song that Kelly Clarkson sings, that I posted in one of my entries not too long ago, is on the soundtrack...Avril Lavigne actually wrote the song...fun fact! And oh yes, I also want to see the Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy version of "The Three Musketeers" which is going to DVD/VHS on August 17th. They have some cute quotes, lol.
Mickey: We're going to save the princess or die trying! (Mickey and Goofy run off as Donald stays behind.)
Donald: Die?
It was just funny the way he said it, lol. Ah, I love Donald. I have a t-shirt with him on it and I haven't worn it. I probably should start, right? Oh and I have one random thing to say--I learned last week that Elvis had a twin brother named Jesse that died at birth. And it rings a bell, because since Jesse on "Full House" is obsessed with Elvis, it makes sense doesn't it? ^_^; ANYWAY, I'll be bound to make another entry on Friday or Saturday to tell you all how the Blast From the Past marathon went. See ya! *salutes like Ricky Ullman in the Disney 411 commercial*

Wednesday, August 4th, 2004 @ 11:20 AM [Follow Your Dreams! (OBEY DISNEY)]
Jeez, has it really been a week already?! Time flies by so fast...I can't believe it's already August! August scares the crap out of me. I hate it because...your days are numbered until school starts again. It's also the hottest month no matter where the hell you are. And it has been HOT! Cripes! Last night I thought I'd be a puddle of sweat by the time I woke up this morning. I was wrong, heh. ^_~ It has actually gotten a tad breezy and my fan suddenly feels like it's working on keeping me cool. Yay! However, August isn't the worst month, per se...some good things have come out of it that I'm grateful for. ^_^ I'll give you a whole rundown of the past week!
Thursday, July 29th - My cousin's 7th birthday! Although, he had his party on the 24th so we didn't see him on his actual b-day. He and his family went down to the Cape (Cape Cod for all you non-New Englanders out there) on their boat. I, however, went to my friend's house up the street to use their pool and have a barbecue. My family came, too, because our parents are friends with each other. But, uh, she gets in these moods where she doesn't say a word for a while. Yeah, it's weird. Then, when we were eating, we actually had a nice conversation that had us laughing and whatnot--and it didn't feel so awkward anymore. *shrugs* I had a good time after all, I guess!
Friday, July 30th - Went with my Mom to pick up my grandmother so we could take her shopping at the mall. She bought a couple of outfits and we took her out to lunch. I didn't end up buying anything...which is so unlike me, lol. I really wanted to get some anime--like "Gravitation" on DVD so these massive AVI files I have of the fansub can be deleted; therefore, it'll free up a lot more space on my hard drive and it'll make things easier altogether. After my Mom and I dropped her back off at her aprartment building, we went home to bug my Dad to take us out to eat. We went to The Outback Steakhouse...they're everywhere so most of you should know what I'm talking about! ^_^ It's unbelievable food. Get the Bloomin' Onion for an appetizer and then the Chocolate Thunder From Down Under for dessert (My Dad made a wicked lame joke about it--the waitress came by to give the dessert to us, "Here's one Chocolate Thunder From Down Under!" and my Dad said, "Oh, I can hear the storm coming already!" ^_^;;) Holy crap--those are the best things, lol.
Saturday, July 31st - Wow, this was the longest day ever. We went to BJ's Wholesale Club at about 11 AM because my Dad wanted new patio furniture. So, we bought a set immediately that he liked when we got there. Okay, the thing was so huge that it took up the backseat and the trunk area so I couldn't sit in it at all. Woo-hoo...I had to sit up front--SQUISHED--with my parents for like an hour until we got home. My ribs were killing me, heh. We get home...and there's a chair missing from the package. >_< So, we went to a different BJ's to get the missing chair. I bought the manga I finally wanted--it wasn't at the previous store. Cardcaptor Sakura--they package three volumes together for only $15. They had other various manga, too. Anyway, we went back home with the chair. Then my Dad realizes that another chair was damaged. *sigh* So just me and my Mom went back up the store to get yet another chair. That was the final trip...thank God. We waited for my uncle to bring his girlfriend by around 7...and they didn't show up until 10. He's always so late and he never cares. Grr...
Sunday, August 1st - Went to my aunt's house and saw my cousin and her kids. We had dinner over there with them. There was this funky striped bass that my cousin's husband caught and it tasted blah, heh. Definitely not my favorite among the fish family. O_o I watched several random old-school Disney videos with my seven-year-old cousin, the one I mentioned earlier. They were "Mickey and the Beanstalk", "Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers", and "Duck Tales". Yeah, I miss those shows from my childhood. They were great, lol. Amazing how they're still popular today. ^_^
Monday, August 2nd - Not much happened that day. All I did was talk to my friend on the phone a couple of times; because, my Dad kept bugging the crap out of me to get off the phone so I could talk to the photographer that is going to take some professional pictures of me. I wanna get some nice pictures for a resume and for modeling. Maybe it'll spark my career a little. ^_~
Tuesday, August 3rd - This day is going down in frickin' history. Why? Well, let me begin my fairy-tale-come-true. This is where the "follow your dreams" title comes in from Disney. Perhaps you have seen me writing about my crush several times in my blog. This crush I had for three, long years. So it wasn't until this summer (mid-July) I began talking with him via AIM. My friend gave him my screen name and so he IMed me...yadda, yadda, yadda. Anyway, we were talking about proms and dating. He eventually asked me who I liked because I hinted on how I was waiting for this guy to ask me out for so long and he said "But, you can just ask him!" ... No, no I couldn't. ^_^;; After this long ordeal with him prying who it was out of me...I just told him how I felt. And surprisingly, he was very flattered...and he even conquered his fear of asking a girl out on a date...and he asked me out. It happened somewhere between 12 and 12:30 AM, lol. Awwwie! Dream that your wish will come true... THANK YOU, DISNEY!
Wednesday, August 4th - As if things couldn't get any better, I went to meet the photographer this morning. She told me the specific things I should wear and what would look good on me. I saw some examples of pictures she took and she does a really nice job. I'm excited. ^_^ And that's about all I did today...and I took a nap, heh. Anyway...I probably won't update for another week at the rate I'm going so...I'll see y'all around! Peace out...and don't forget to COMMENT!

Wednesday, July 28th, 2004 @ 6:00 PM [NEW BEGINNINGS!]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky
I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And break away
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And break away...
WOW, I haven't updated for a whole week...O_O; *ahem* Woo! How do you all like the new layout! I'm so proud of it...I never expected it to come out as beautifully as it did. That always happens to me when I just plop an image into Paint Shop Pro and play around with it--I'd never expect to use it on a layout--but it always ends up on it, lol. Usually I don't show drug use, such as the cigarette Yuki is smoking...I just thought the whole layout came out so nicely that it didn't matter afterwards. ^_^ I think I started it Saturday night and worked on it more Sunday morning before I went to my cousin's 7th birthday party. The crowd that comes keeps on getting smaller and smaller...and it's sad because I used to have so much fun. Sure, I had fun on Sunday, but it didn't seem like it was the same. Maybe it's because he's getting older and that his family parties will quickly die soon...that's what happened to me! So, eh, it was to be expected I guess. He has his little friends from school now! ^_^ Cute kid, too. And another thing that was different from the past years--it didn't thunderstorm during his party! It always used to and we'd all run inside like hell. Heh, one time the power even went out. We all thought he had bad luck--but, lucky 7 must've cleared the curse! It was warm, sunny, and from time to time cloudiness. Yep...

Wednesday, July 21st, 2004 @ 7:54 PM [Oh, the rain does fall...]
Wow, I keep neglecting this blog more and more. It happened to me last year, too. Heh. Anyway, I'm so tired, as usual. I don't really feel all that well. I have a sore throat that keeps bugging the crumbs out of me. My ears feel really weird...like that weird, congested, moist feeling that you get before you get a cold. Blech. I always get sick in the summer. Thank God it isn't anything like that damn Adno virus I had back in June. That was the sickest I've ever felt in years. Nausea, extreme dizziness whenever I got up--I couldn't stand for more than a few minutes, my eyes watered incessantly and I couldn't control that, either; then, they turned red and they burned, for crying out loud. Now I have my fan blowing in my face and it's making my ears feel even nastier. "But, why don't you just shut it off?" You say. Well, it's hotter than the hammers of hell over here--regardless of all the windows in my room being wide open. They do not help whatsoever. No bloody breeze to at least appease me for just at least one stinkin' minute. Damn you, Boston, damn you. ~_~
When the rain falls
It’s like heaven’s crying
When the name’s all
The difference that there is
Cause tears are
The same when they are trying to grow something good
Out of all the pain
There’s no difference between the teardrops and the rain
Oh man, that was such a touching song. It really was beautiful. As much as I hated the lead girl's character, Samantha, "Pixel Perfect" was a great movie (I watched it Monday night); and, it wasn't just because Ricky Ullman also starred in it, lol. He made a cute computer geek! It was just sad that he fell in love with his hologram, Loretta Modern, for a little while...heh. Too deep for a Disney movie if you ask me...^_^; I didn't watch that movie when it first premiered in January because it looked like it'd suck and it was overly advertised. Plus, I didn't know who Ricky was at the time so the thought of watching it was immediately dismissed from my mind. The only times I was pissed was when Samantha (Leah Pipes) fell for Roscoe (Ricky Ullman) and she had this freakin' urge to kiss him on the lips...it only lasted for literally one second, though, so it wasn't too harsh! Then at the end he had to kiss her back, of course. Grr. It was actually quite amusing because it looked like he had to boost himself up on his toes a little in order to reach her lips, lol. I felt so bad; he's so short. Don't worry, Ricky, you're two inches taller than me...so that's why we'd make the perfect couple. ^_^
I'm very miffed again. This'll be the brief "miffed" paragraph for tonight. That 1999 episode on VH1...yeah, it sucked. They didn't even MENTION Pokemon when they said they would. Pikachu was featured on their stupid webpage for that ep, too! They must've edited it, because on Saturday or Sunday, I saw on that "Best Week Ever" show, it showed Hal Sparks in front of the "I Love the '90s" studio backdrop and he was waving around a Pikachu plushie. Bastards probably did edit the whole Pokemon segment out. Eh, I'll send VH1 some hate mail, lol. And the last rant of the night...I was making a really cool "Gravitation" layout, and when I went to replace the file I had while I worked on it further--it flippin' tells me that it didn't save correctly and now I have to make do the whole thing over again from scratch. Stupid Paint Shop Pro. It kills everything I like. It had my beautiful Yuki Eiri on it. I also drew a damn good manga drawing of him today. It's one of my very best drawings so far. Yay. He kind of reminds me of my crush...it's scary...heh. Anyway, see y'all soon, I hope! Bye!

Friday, July 16th, 2004 @ 4:03 PM [Best Week Ever]
"Oh. My. God. Becky, look at her butt!" Oh yeah, y'all gotta remember that from the '90s! Yes, that's right; it was Sir Mix-A-Lot's song from way back in the day. I have been watching "I Love the '90s" on VH1 every night this week! It's nice to actually watch stuff I remember...unlike when I watched the other series: "I Love the '80s", "I Love the '80s Strikes Back", and "I Love the '70s". ^___^ They're awesomely cool, though. It's so interesting watching them talk about random topics while they crack pointless jokes about them at the same time, lol. Tonight they're going to talk about Pokemon on the 1999 episode! Be sure to watch it if you're a Pokemon, or even anime, fan. Let's see what these jokers have to say! Watch it tonight on VH1 @ 10 PM/9c. I think I'm going to watch "Rat Race" on TBS at 8 PM first, to kill time before the '99 premiere. I love that movie! It's hysterically funny. Screw that "Stuck in the Suburbs" movie that's drops tonight on Disney Channel @ 8 PM, as well. It looks so dumb and it's way too overrated. That freakin' Jordan Cahill is getting on my nerves! GAAAAH! Not...my Jordan, but the "popstar" in that movie. I can't stand Brenda Song (she's also Tia in "Phil of the Future") or Danielle Panabaker (her sister, Kay, is Debbie on "Phil of the Future")...also actresses in "Stuck in the Suburbs". Too much perkiness for me to handle. I already feel nauseated as it is after eating that string cheese...^_^;

Monday, July 12th, 2004 @ 1:42 PM [Splendors, Sorrows, & A Shadow]
Your body’s warm; but, you are not
You give a little...not a lot
You coup your love until we kiss
You’re all I want but not like this
I’m watching you disappear
But you, you were never here
It’s only your shadow
Never yourself
It’s only your shadow
Nobody else
It’s only your shadow
Filling the room
Arriving too late
And leaving too soon
And leaving too soon...
Nah, my title isn't as depressing as you may think it is. I love making up dramatic introductions, lol. Yep, that's me, the drama queen. Speaking of which, everyone's been rallying at the Town Hall recently due to budget cuts leading to the termination of all extracurricular activities. That means--no sports, no clubs of any kind, and NO BUSING. No busing? Don't you think that's insane? Now they're screwing over a lot of kids that don't have any other mode of transportation in order to get to school. As for sports and club organizations, a lot of students depend on their extracurricular activities for scholarships--the only way for them to get into a college and further their education. This town is utterly stupid. It used to have so much money...but that's what happens when you spend it on pointless matters and start pulling it from the school's budget. Good going--now the future is officially going down the tubes. Glad they care about that...morons...*sigh* It was all over the news and everything. I never saw this town get so much action since the teacher's strike a year ago. It has come to such a big problem that people are moving out of here to a different town/city or state to have their children in better school systems. Well, they had a meeting at 1 PM and I have yet to see how that turned out. My friend will probably call me later to tell me all about it.
Anyway, I went out patio-furniture shopping with my parents. My Dad, the procrastinator, did the usual--he drives to several places and doesn't buy a thing. He always has to "think about it"; or, he'll say that he knows that he wants this specific piece of furniture, but he won't buy it right then and there. >_< However, it wasn't too bad going from place to place this time...*grins* We went to this one outlet/warehouse that he pretty much drags us to all the time to get supplies. So, we walk in, and I see this boy that works there that I saw the week before. He looks exactly like my crush...it's the scariest thing, I tell you. Tall, thin frame, dark brown/black hair (in the same style!). I didn't see what color his eyes were because I was too shy to gawk at him, but my crush's eyes are blue. My Mom even brought it up to me without my asking her, lol. ^_^; Now that's motherly dedication, heh. Last time when he saw us, he kind of stood in the aisle--stared a little bit, and then walked away--either that, or he was immersed in a thought, lol. But seriously, yesterday when we went back, he kept walking by me constantly...wherever I was, he was there looking at me. O_o It didn't freak me out; I was flattered, but when something like that happens to me--I have the biggest laughing fits! And considering the fact that my Mom's as silly as I am, she starts laughing, too...heh. I hope I didn't look like a geek, lol. Ohwell, I'll be going up there more often now! He probably doesn't see too many girls his age walk in there because...come on, it's a home improvement warehouse...^_^; Now that's the kind of staring I don't mind. ^_~
Oh, and as a minor manga update: There are three-volume packages of Tokyo Pop manga at BJ's Wholesale Club--if you have any near you. They're only $15! That's a huge bargain because usually they're about $10-$15 for only one volume. I almost bought Cardcaptor Sakura and Tokyo Mew Mew...but I didn't want to bother my Dad if he wasn't buying anything since he holds the club card...heh. Well, that's all the entertainment I have for you today, guys! Later days.

Saturday, July 10th, 2004 @ 7:41 PM [DON'T STARE AT ME!]
I hate, hate, hate, loathe when men blatantly stare at you. They couldn't care less if you gave them a dirty look back--they'll continue gawking. It's absolutely sick...yeah, it's a sign that I'm "pretty" but I wouldn't mind it too much if it was boys my age. I have these old and middle-aged guys giving me the eye. Blech, gag me with a spoon! O_o Don't you also hate it when you're laughing and suddenly you make eye contact with someone and they think you're smiling at them? That's one of my biggest pet peeves and people think you're automatically interested. It happened to me today. I'm just sounding off because I went to the mall today at a later time than my Mom and I usually go. Maybe that was why we ran into all that testosterone madness. Ugh, it gives me the creeps. So, this is why I tend to hide behind my mother when we're walking through the mall, heh. I have other noticeable assets that are probably part of the reasons why they look at me...it just makes me want to puke, lol. Stare at me in public, and you will permanently be on my do-not-ever-look-at-again list. *sigh* -_-

Friday, July 9th, 2004 @ 8:13 PM [Burns On Contact]
Okay, I neglected doing this blog for about 12 minutes, lol. I went outside to eat an ice cream with the family on our new patio. Our friends recently came back from their Florida home after about six months so we were talking to them for a little while, too. I want to go back to Disney World so bad! O_o Not only for my obsession with Disney and the Epcot themepark, but for "Phil of the Future". WHAT A SHOCKER! Seriously, they need to have a store specifically made for Disney Channel. Rumor has it that there are "Phil of the Future" posters floating around in a California shopping area. I read it in one girl's blog--it's pretty cool! Although, the entry is more towards the bottom, so you'll have to hunt for it. But, that doesn't mean the rest of her blog is jack! Oh no--she makes awesome icons, too! Mostly "Danny Phantom", "Peter Pan", and lots more. Overall, it's very interesting. Visit Megan's LiveJournal!
You're always there for me
Right when I need you most
Day and night
You're by my side
Protecting me
When I feel like crashing down
You seem to be around
There you are
You're not that far
[CHORUS]
'Cause whenever
Wherever, baby
You'll protect me no matter what
You'll hold me tight
Thought you might
And you'll never let me go
And when it's my turn to help you out
I'll never let you down <--- (phrase was not audible enough to distinguish that this is the correct wording)
Without a doubt
[Repeat CHORUS]
Protecting me...
WHAT WAS THAT? WTF?! She's totally hitting on my man and it's only like, the 7th episode into the first season! Good thing Ricky's character, Phil, isn't too swift to realize that she's practically pining away for him already. It's great that boys are stupid about love...in these sorts of situations...heh. ^_^; Ohwell, it's already 10 o'clock? Wowee...in a half an hour they're showing that episode again, lol. I'm way too obsessed for my own good...>_< I know, I know! In fact, I may even visit Abercrombie & Fitch tomorrow because Ricky was wearing an A&F shirt in Tiger Beat magazine...O_O Oh, don't look at your computer screen like that! You'd do it, too, if you were a crazy fangirl like me!

Thursday, July 8th, 2004 @ 8:12 PM [Die, die, die.]
As you can see, I'm not in the best of moods today. Actually, I haven't been in the best of moods at all lately. I just hate when parents nag and nag and nag; and, they love to hear themselves talk so they continue drilling their beliefs into your head until you finally build up to the highest boiling point that you really do feel like popping at any second. I was fine today...until my Mom called me on the phone all obsessed with herself and asked me stupid questions because I simply gave her one or two word answers. She totally bypassed the subject on my desire to get professional photos/headshots done AGAIN...even though I had this tremendous conversation about it with her last night. She said we'd talk about it more this morning...but that never happened. Thanks, Mom. I appreciate it. I was too angry to even bring it up to her.

Look at this stuff--isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl--the girl who has everything?
Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Looking around here you'd think, "Sure, she's got everything..."
That's the type of mood I'm in at the moment. All wistful and dreamy--even when I'm spoiled to the hilt. There's just something lacking that I yearn to have. I can't stand the feeling--it overwhelms me too much. Blech. When you have a dream to follow, things get unbearably tough to imagine. Disney pushes that "Follow Your Dreams" a lot; and, ironically, it makes me mad. ^_^; They don't talk about the actors themselves...they talk about the dreams of the characters from their original TV series. Sometimes Disney just seems like a crock of prunes; because, you know people aren't like what they display on the shows they have running. Nobody that dresses like Lizzie McGuire is unpopular. Come on, you're a regular, adolescent girl...not one girl in middle school can afford to walk around like that. It's a proven fact. I must say, even though I'll sound like a hypocrite, it was a good show. Hilary Duff should be kissing the ground of the Disney realm. *sigh* I just need to be a Disney star. That'll be the happiest day of my freaking life. It has always been a life-long dream of mine to do something Disney-related. Seriously.
Muahahahaha! And for something not so serious: I finally got the magazine "Tiger Beat"! Hell yeah! I can now send in my clipping for an autographed picture from Ricky Ullman. It's not just one person that wins--oh no--but FIFTEEN! So the odds of me getting his autograph have just been pushed higher than ever. ^_^ Oh, I can't wait, guys! And if I don't get it, I'll rant like no tomorrow...and I'm sure nobody wants to hear anymore ranting than I've done in this blog already, lol. I also bought "Popstar!" magazine...which actually had a cuter Ricky pin-up. SUGOI! I've now got more Ricky crap than I've got holes in my head. ^_^; Not much, but I'll get up there! He's quickly becoming one heck of a star! I think even faster than Hilary did, to be honest, lol. I am also EXTREMELY happy to find out that Ricky Ullman is actually single, ladies. All those interviews about he and Danielle Faurot going out...were old news from months and months ago. *clasps hands together and looks up* Amaaaaaziiing grace... YEAH! Anyway, hunger calls. I'll go have my lunch now and stop obsessing for about fifteen minutes. >> FANGIRL ALERT TO RICKY ULLMAN AHEAD :: HAZARD <<

Monday, July 5th, 2004 @ 10:11 AM [Fourth of July Aftershock]
You know, I can't seem to shake my fatigue, lol. I want to go out and do so many things...but I'm always tired. I never used to be like that; I hope nothing's wrong with me. O_o I think it's because I'm bored with a lot of things going on lately. But, even when I am doing things--I get tired very easily. Well, anyway, yesterday was the glorious, pyrotechnical Fourth of July! My parents and I went over my friend's house which is right up the street from us. It wasn't too bad at first; because, we were all in the pool splashing around--drowning each other and whatnot--heh. Sounds safe, doesn't it? ^_^; We were at her house for like, eight and a half hours. Holy majoly, lol. That's a new record all around for us. My parents are practically always the last people to leave a place--especially their house in particular--and it ticks me off to the extreme. Because, when I'm ready to leave, I'm ready leave. I keep giving them these signals to let them know, but they either don't get it--or they don't want to be blatantly obvious. In fact, I don't even really consider this girl a friend anymore since I barely have anything to say to her. I hardly had a conversation with her...like, no more than two sentences the entire time. I talked to the other FRIENDLY girls instead while we swam in the pool. She was off playing water-basketball with her brother and other relatives, anyway.

Saturday, July 3rd, 2004 @ 6:28 PM [The Oxymoron: Tiresome & Ricky Ullman...again.]
I am mad tired--as you could probably notice by the title. All right, I just like stating the obvious, lol. *nods off* I've been running around trying to find this damn magazine called "Tiger Beat". Now, I know it's definitely out there; because, I've bought the magazine before and I know for a fact that the August issue is already out there that I'm looking for. It just seems that whenever I'm looking for something--I can never find it. The reason I want this magazine is because--lo and behold--Ricky Ullman serves a huge purpose in it and he takes up two full pages, man! Two full pages of pictures of the sexiest guy alive. Not only that, but you could enter to win an autographed photo of Ricky. SWEET. Kayleigh and I entered in that Danimals contest to meet Ricky--although, you could choose between Raven and Orlando Brown, too. Why is this boy so irresistible? Why is he so hot beyond comprehension? I yearn to find to answers...*sigh* ^_^; I just ate dinner so I'm probably taking longer than usual to respond...and I was eating a fudge-cicle. Mmmmm-mmm. I love "Phil of the Future"...with all my frickin' heart. I'm going to start a shrine or something! The show itself makes no sense...but it's really touching at times. There are so many "best friend, I love you" moments, lol. Well, not literally, but you get what I mean!
Scene -- Phil and Keely are locked inside the shed by Phil's little sister, Pim.
Episode -- "Philin' It"
Keely: "Phil, I've got an idea! We're locked in here, so we should call a locksmith. They have those special locky tools to get us out of here!"
Phil: "Keel, the phone's out there, remember?"
Keely: "Exactly, so when they get here, they can hand it to us." (Phil stares at her dumbfounded. After a moment, Keely realizes that her plan is idiotic.) "Okay, new plan. HELP!"
Scene -- Phil and a friend, Tia, are doing their homework on Phil's porch.
Episode -- "Your Cheatin' Heart"
Phil (discussing the matter about Keely having a crush on Tanner--a scummy cheater): "I just wish Tanner wasn't such a load."
Tia: "Oh, look who's jealous!"
Phil: "I'm not jealous. I don't think... No, I just wish Tanner wasn't such a load."

Thursday, July 1st, 2004 @ 4:52 PM ["The" Worst "Answer"]
You're the answer
All this time I've tried to find you
I've been yearnin' (I've been yearning inside)
You're the answer to the question that's been burning (I've been burning inside)
When they ask me who I love
You're the answer (You're my answer)
You're my answer
---
Patiently I've waited for this day to finally come
Knowing someday somehow I would find that special one
Someone perfect, someone true, someone that I knew, was you (I knew it was you)
Yeah, scratch that theory, Britney! Good song, though. If my fellow Americans out there have no idea where the song "Don't Hang Up" and "The Answer" came out of Britney, it was only released on the U.K. version of her album In The Zone. I downloaded them and they're a couple of the best songs I've heard from her. Come on, why do the Americans always get gypped?! WE'RE YOUR HOMELAND, BRITNEY! But anyway, boys suck. I can never seem to find anyone that likes me...only the guys I can't stand. [sarcasm] Just the ones I want, you know? [/sarcasm] The boys I like either a.) Don't know who I am or b.) Just don't like me that way.
I was having a very good day; because, The Jordan Formerly Known As My Friend was home from his trip and I was happy to find that he was on AIM this morning. Oh gee whiz. It only gets better. We had a humungo-uber-fight. Wowee. It ties in with what I already complained about in the previous sentences. Who knows if this is even going to mend--it was that bad. It's obviously not love--because, you can't feel that way over a person you've met online. If you do, then you're one confused human being. I was just sort of...leaning over the crush line. And, somewhere along the road, he made me feel that way...and then with his bad timing and phrasing of words...he utterly humiliated the crumbs out of me. Again, boys suck. Partly because of that reason. I feel a little better, though; I just don't know if I can ever talk to him the same way ever again.
I have some Ricky Ullman updates! I found out from a fansite that Ricky may be appearing in the future productions: Pokemon 2 (Live Action) in 2007 and
Pokemon Unleashed (Live Action) in 2006. Now, everyone knows how much I love anime to death--more specific, Pokemon. This is MY DREAM COME TRUE! I have no idea how credible these sources are; but, I e-mailed the webmistress of that site and I have yet to hear back from her. *squeals* I can't wait--I hope this is true! *drool* Yup, yup, yup! I may as well get going now since there are on and off thunderstorms here, so I'll be back tomorrow! *waves* Ja ne!

Wednesday, June 30th, 2004 @ 3:28 PM [Happy Birthday To Me!]
Holy majoly it's sweltering here! *grabs a fan* And I'm one year older! Aren't y'all happy for me?! *crickets chirp* I forgot; barely anyone reads this blog...lol. Well, a person that does read my blog is my good friend--and hostess--Angie! She made me this nice gift:
Aww, it's so cute! ^_^ Anyway, I got a Louis Vuitton backpack...it's uber-spiffy. The family's going to take me out later for dinner, I believe, so it shall be fun! I was never a person to throw birthday parties for myself. Meh, but most of the people that I call "friends" do. I swear everyone's out to get a gift. Not that it's a bad thing to have a party--I'm just speaking my opinion. I just think other people should throw you the party and you shouldn't do it for yourself. It's like you're practically telling people to buy you a present. It never appealed to me; only when I was a kid. That was the only source of enjoyment when you were little--you really didn't care what you got back then, just as long as it was a toy you were happy. Nowadays, everyone's so darn picky. That's why I either stick with gift certificates or money to give. Hah, but when your birthday rolls around--people forget and they don't give you the value of what you gave them. *sigh* You're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't. I sound so pessimistic, but I speak the truth! O_o All that Holden Caulfield must've rubbed off on me from reading The Catcher in the Rye this year, I guess, lol. (You won't have a clue as to what I'm talking about unless you've read the book...heh.) *fans herself again* WOW, this heatwave's gotta stop. >_< Ricky Ullman's all the heat I need, goshdarn it! Lol. Another random placement of his name--again--in my blog entry! Alrighty-o, I'm going to let you go for today. Tomorrow's a new day--and a new month!

Tuesday, June 29th, 2004 @ 3:20 PM [Hopeless Love]
200 miles away from home
200 miles beneath this lake is where my heart belongs
But you don't care at all
You wouldn't even smile if I were screaming as the water filled my lungs
You demand to be chased for your love
My desperate heart is far too weak to run for you this long
But you don't care at all
This song is seriously so relaxing. (It reminds me of my crush IRL, actually.) It sounds very depressing, lol; but, it puts you at ease somehow. As I was looking for more Ricky Ullman websites...*nudge, wink*...I came across one girl's blog that had a tagboard full of girls squealing about Ricky. Surprise, surprise. *rolls eyes* Her site's really cool and the layout's very original. Kawaii. Visit Raichel.
Something odd happened this morning and I might as well discuss it since these entries seem to get shorter and shorter, lol. I woke up to the house literally shaking. The stupid people putting in the new pipes for the town were digging...and of course my Dad with his temper went outside and told them to stop causing such a raucous. Well, obviously there's nothing they can do about it and the guy got pretty nasty with my Dad--but my Dad started yelling first. O_o I won't get into detail, heh. It was just freaky because I heard it loudly through my window. Ugh.
Anyway, I've been talking to Kayleigh on AIM to make the time pass by quickly. She's working on her new website; and, I'm helping her with the HTML and the like. It'll be coming along nicely, I'm sure! ^_^ We were discussing this PBS show, "Liberty's Kids", and how it totally dissed Boston, lol. Bah, if you British didn't like inhabiting the Massachusetts Bay Colony...then go back to England! Just kidding...heh. We made fun of it and that's all that matters. ^_^; I might begin to put up links to my old anime pages if that's what's been drawing people to my site all this time...instead of reading my random blog. "Don't worry, I got your back. *wink*" - Phil Diffy (a.k.a. Ricky Ullman *drool*) from "Phil of the Future". That's all folks! The rest is for my Ricky (and Peter, real-life crush)...

Monday, June 28th, 2004 @ 2:19 PM [Wistful Thinking]
Oh Lordy, I feel pensively melancholy today. *sigh* I guess I'm just eager for my friend's return already. When you break from the usual routine, everything gets jumbled up and erratic. We'd have our late-night chats on AIM--either the just two of us, or with our friend, Kayleigh, included. Last night was the longest I've ever stayed online--it was about 1:30 AM when I finally departed and said my good-byes. It may sound like I'm writing a eulogy, lol; but, I think I'm finally experiencing the sentiments of what it's like to be away from a close compadre for a lengthy chunk of time...for the first time. Amazing how the Internet pulls people together as if they already know each other in person. It is dangerous, on the other hand; however, there are just those people that give you that "good" intuition that they're okay. And that's Jordan. Hurry back!

Sunday, June 27th, 2004 @ 10:54 AM [Philin' It!]
Yeah! First blog entry of the summer! This layout is lucky that it came up when it did--otherwise, I don't think I'd ever get around to making one. Well, I actually did make two layouts previous to this one if you can believe it! I made one with Melody from Pokemon 2000...but my hard drive got screwed up and my Dad had to fix it. Of course, with my luck, my stuff didn't save correctly on my disk and everything was lost in the megabites. O_o I could've killed. Really. That layout was one of the best I made! Meh...moving right along...I made one with the same background as this. It was Cardcaptor Sakura with all the girls in their bathing suits. It was uber-cute; but I didn't like how the graphic...looked. I wasn't very pleased with it after all, lol. ^_^; This image above was found by dumb luck and I didn't expect to make it featured in my layout. That always happens to me--I find an image and I play around with it in Paint Shop Pro randomly, then I end up liking what I do to it and it winds up on my layout. This lacy butterfly girl is from the anime Sister Princess. Never heard of it? Neither have I. Heh.
