I've swapped to a new LJ, if you would like to keep up with me just leave a comment and I'll add you guys on my new one

Cheers :)

I have a small request of everyone. I was going through some of my old graphics on a cd and I came across a few 'katamari-ish' style images. I see them all over, and I was wondering if this particular style of art has a name. It's a bit cutesy, but I adore every piece I see.




Normally I see them as inanimate objects with faces (ie toasters, fruit etc). I'd love to make a theme centered around this style so hopefully someone will be able to help!

Despite the fact everyone is feeling the pain of rising gas prices, it seems to almost be doing just as much good for us as bad. As of late it appears more people are willing to walk, bike, or use public transportation instead. I see more and more articles about companies getting bad publicity with laziness, and end up changing their wasteful ways. There seems to be such a big focus on conserving what we have, not being wasteful, and getting a nice bit of exercise. Who knows, in the end maybe it will be far better! But...until that happens everyone will still be feeling that lightness in their pockets.

While I'm no environmental activist I'm liking the change. It's good to see everyone becoming resourceful instead of gluttonous.

Ok I couldn't resist (ha ha!) I just finished Blood+ and I loved it far more then I thought I would. I was watching some fansubs on the Wii and even my boyfriend turned around and started watching them all with me. So I think I know what I want my next layout to be..if I can rummage up some pictures that suit what I want.

The thing that has been annoying me lately are a lot of shows love having tons of episodes when it's not needed. Instead they will throw in crappy filler shows, or just drag a single story on for much longer then needed. Blood+ was a tad bit longer then needed, but because I was enjoying it so much it felt like the perfect length. So many interesting characters, interaction, and how they changed. I really am enjoying adventurous stories that focus more on character development over fancy fights.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a well animated fight scene as much as the next fan, but to enjoy them they have to be done sparingly.

Especially when you can already see spring on the way. Beautiful sunny days get me excited to prepare up for summer. And this is why I love California - you get to enjoy spring/summer days much longer then most other places.

And what better sunny weekend then to have Easter?? It's fabulous :). It'll be my 2nd Easter away from home, so it's been exactly 1 year since I moved. I miss my family all the time, but we get to see each other pretty often thankfully. For those who do celebrate Easter - hope you have a happy easter weekend!

Whenever I fly I swear I can't sleep more then 3 or 4 hours. But my flight back to Cali was today and right now Im exhausted and frustrated.

The exhaustion is obvious but why the frustration? Because I was on the move between airports from noon till about 6. And to top it all off, yup! I checked 3 bags and only two of them made it to Cali. So now I get to sit here with no clothes until the airport delivers my bag.

Wait.. scratch that. Um.. I AM wearing the clothes I brought with me :-P but I just want to go to bed now and I have no PJ's. They are supposed to show up at midnight.. and they better. Rawr >.> *face plants into pillows*

edit: I love Tezuki bunnies. .I want to put them in my mood icons.

So it's true.. I do. Weekends mean a lot of time in sunny CA doing random things with either David or his family.

Lately I've delved into my child hood and dug up a BUNCH of dos games I've been playing lately - like commander keen. I loved all those games heh.

I am a fairly sad panda to see Shrek doesn't look like it's going to be good -_-.

I forgot how bad I was at old school vs. games.

Been playing bomberman and mario kart with some friends on the wii - but it doesn't stop me from remembering how much damn FUN they were ^_^. I need to go buy my own when I'm fully moved out to California.


Did I also mention despite the fact I'm an adult I'm the biggest kid in the world? Been more excited then I should be to see Shrek 3 >.> oh well! Also. .a huge guilty admission here - it doesn't look that great but I want to see the Nancy Drew movie. Ok lemme explain first! Roughly about 98% of the reason I want to see it is because she was my idol while growing up. Nancy Drew books is what really got me into loving reading at an early age. And since I can remember through my early teens Nancy Drew was my hero. And I think I'll probably still enjoy the movie. So bite me :P

edit: since recently reviving my LJ I've noticed LJ itself has had a ton of changes that I'm fiddling with. I'm really trying to refuse myspace since that's where all my college friends are now. .

Lately been in between jobs so I've had a lot of free time on my hands. It is driving.me.crazy.

I've actually been craving some kind of creative outlet.

Too bad I'm artistically retarded.

Won't say much. .was good - but not as good as the first I'm afraid. Too many jokes spawning from the first movie that ended up a bit redundant.

Buuut don't take that as me hating it. I still loved it and Depp in his brilliance :P a worth see for sure!

I forget how much midnight showings kick my ass the next day tho -_-;

just click - amusement will follow (or you'll just roll your eyes :P)

There are no words

Note to Self: When you have a 1.5 hour class immediately followed by a 2 hour class bring food :(

It feels more and more strange as it approaches. My graduation package with announcements have been shipped. I should get them within the next 7 days or so. *happy snoopy dance*

A little bird flew onto my shoulder and reminded me I hadn't really updated in 5 weeks *cough*Chris*cough*.

My last semester has arrived and I couldn't be happier! I can't believe I'm this close to graduating. .graduating from high school is great, but this actually feels like an accomplishment (I really underestimated the will it takes to stand 4 years of college student-hood. Ask any of us. .it's not easy).

I've lately been caught up in playing Magna Carta: Tears of Blood. Pretty lil RPG I got for Christmas - the battle system is insane but am quite enjoying it. Anyone who wants to point out if the talismen fusion system is worth keeping up with lemme know :-P

On a side note I must admit I vastly miss chatting up with Chris and Gerrod. Something I need to do more often :(

I've gotten a few Namie Amuro mp3s. .I forgot how much I enjoyed some of her music. Anyone know where I could find some torrents? I'd like to see if her good music is consistent enough to delve in and buy some more Jpop cds (which I havent done in ages . .lol)

Yesterday our work got its Xbox 360 system. So. .naturally when we had no customers we started playing with it :D

I must say it's a damn fine system. Very shiny! Even if I have no plans on getting my own. .(never been big on Xbox simply because the game lineup has never impressed me.) But graphics. .absurd. Runs like a dream.

Best feature - the power button on the paddle. YES lazy gamers no longer have to get up and turn their machine off. Just hit that button on your padle and its set.

Yup. .just what it says :D

Happy Halloween Everybody!

*does the happy snoopy dance*

My 6 page paper/20 minute presentation is done as of this moment.

I could cry I'm so happy! I've been working on this thing for a week and a half now.

*grumble* now I just need to worry about my 3 tests coming up.

*bounce* I knew they were going to have Blood Elves as one of the new playable races :D, and I'm not much surprised they were the new class for horde. But of course they are going to wait to announce the new race for alliance >.<

Outland looks. .awsome! But what rocks me the most: Flyable mounts. Heh I cannot wait

Plus they say mores to come, huzzah!

Also. .on a totally random note, does anyone know what causes stupid winfixer to keep popping up? I've cleaned my hard drive a number of times of spyware and this is the only one that keeps showing up *grumble*.

However can you blame me? I've been working on not only catching up on classes, but getting ahead for the week of school I'll be missing in 3 weeks. So I'm about ready to collapse and remember that the world isn't only black and white like the endless pages of my books x_x.

I love how Bono from U2 goes to have a meeting with the president about the worlds poor. Now I'm glad there are some celebrities who will take their fame and wealth and do something good with it. .however I always find it very ironic they talk about representing the poor for a cause while they arrive in their limos and designer clothes. Somehow I just really doubt they know anything about it. And most who came from humble beginnings usually forget what that's like. It does sound somewhat ungreatful, and I encourage them to continue doing good. But what they shouldn't do is play off as if they understand what this group of people is going through, or how this starving village feels. .because they don't. That's something that's always annoyed me/soapbox

. .slept in for my morning class. I didn't even wake up till my default alarm went off on my phone at 10. I was going to go in late, but I just wasn't in the mood to get hassled by my professor for being late.

Also I can't say enough how amazing my parents are. It's absurd how supportive they are of things and are always willing to help me not only when I'm at my wits end, but be there to help so I'm also comfortable. They don't help only to just get me by, but make sure I'm enjoying myself as well. All I know is when I'm graduated and my loans are paid off I swear I'm treating them to a beautiful getaway somewhere that will only be a small token of payback for all they've done for me.
