A whole new perspective
2003-03-22 23:29:24
I'm a person who's emotions, attitude, and goals are easily affected by my surroundings.
Anime is a great contributor to this. If I watch Golden Boy, I want to devote myself to learning as much as I can about life, and helping others. Not to mention get some sort of a job. I just watched Kenshin, and I feel very calm, and wish for a bit of solitude. Not in a bad way, but to enjoy quiet time, like a samurai...
Anyways, I bring this up because I feel very calm and peaceful, for the first time in a bit. Maybe it's also because I'm tired. I've had a busy day, not to mention that this is my first time online all day.
I got up early (well, for a Saturday), 8:00am. Got ready and went out to meet my friend. We had decided that today we were going to do some communiy service, considering high school students need a required 40 hours to graduate from high school now. He was late, so we met in front of the place where we were going to do it. We heard they needed volunteers at a private school pool for the time trials for the Special Olympics. We arrived and felt kinda lost, since we still didn't know what to do. We asked around and were given some odd jobs. Once the whole thing got underway, we were given permanent jobs. My friend was to be a Timer, and myself, a relief Timer (take over when people need a break). Well, once I took over for some (early in it), I did that for the rest of the time, so a few hours (probably 4-5).
Toug work! The building where the pool is, is so hot and humid! Compared to the warm weather outside, it was boiling. I was definitely gald I was suggested to bring sandals ans shorts! Also, timing was actually quite tiring. Well first, I didn't sit the whole time, I was trying to look professional (~_^). Also, you don't just time, you cheer! Everyone's always cheeringm and you're always helping all the swimmers, like telling them how many laps left, and so on. And another thing, it's non stop! You get a sheet, make sure it's the right swimmer in your lane, write down your name and the 2nd Timer's name, start when the race begins, cheer, if it's the back stroke, you need to hold a board so as they don't hit their heads against thge pool wall, stop the timer, compare your results to your partner's, write them down, give the sheet in, and do it all over again. Not to mention you do get a little wet, since there are some people there who do not swim correctly, so they splash all over. I, unlike everyone else, didn't mind, since it was refreshing compared to how hot the room was. It made me jealous when the swimmers talked about how cold the pool was. I thought the pool was warm, just cold compared to the boiling room. lol
Anyways, that was from 9:30am to 4:00pm. My friend and I came home, grabbed a bite to eat, and he was picked up by his dad. I then watch Escaflowne: the movie, and Samurai X: the motion picture. Nice movies, but I won't get into them for now. ~_^
Well, I'm tidying up my room right now, must be that whole new calm and peaceful feeling that has overcome me today. lol I have many a posting to do, so I must depart. ^_^
Love ya all,
Nighty night,

50 most opinionated members
2003-03-16 01:09:25
I'm number 35 right now! Everyday I'll keep climbing, and one day, I'll be near the top. ^_^
I know I'll never be near the top for the most useful member, but that's not a goal I wish to even have. I like looking at the vido as a whole, and maybe diving into certain parts. The mebers that I see that write so much go through every second of a video and say something about it. In my opinion, I would never spend my time writing something up that the creator would probably find is a pain to read. I try to focus on the basics. ^_^
An average of 169 words per opinion, not bad at all in my opinion (I've said that word a few too many times. lol). Once I get some of my older reviews up to speed, then it should pop up a few more words. As long as it's over the average (something like 163 words), I'm happy.
I still miss Sarah...
I've spent so little time on the internet. I've posted a bit, but that's all. I'll get back to it all on Monday or something.
My art is coming along. Though it's going to take me forever to draw up the 3 figure drawings I need to do and finish it off in marker. I wish I did a bit more today, but I was easily side tracked by the movie "Frequency" which was on television. No matter how strong I believe I am, the reality is that I'm pathetically weak minded. Another thing that I hate about myself. -_-
My brother lost his hockey game, so in other words, he lost in the Consolation Championship, not bad. I finally play today. Hope I do well again. It's at 7:30pm. Such an early time compared to most of my games. I better not screw myself with my homework. -_-

I'm actually hyper!!!
2003-03-13 02:18:06
This evening has been crazy for me, not as in what I've done, but how I've been feeling. This is indeed a rare occasion. I'm actually hyper!!! ( I hadn't realized I already wrote that as my title LOL!)
It all started at hockey. Since it's March Break, both of our teams had only a few people (as in subs). We ended up winning, 6-2. I played pretty well, but was exhausted! Anyways, when the game was over, people were making jokes in the changing room, but this time I was actually laughing at some of the stupid ones! It was so weird. Next thing I know, I'm smiling all the time, and laughing so easliy! It's easy with the help of love. ~_^
When I got home, it was the same thing. Dumb jokes = laughs. I've been able to keep up the cheery mood for quite some time now, but it's getting way too late for me to be hyper anymore. I'm exhausted! LOL! I guess 3:16am is cutting it kinda close. LOL!
You know what I just realized! I seriously thought it was Sunday morning, because my brother also had hockey today, and we had no school. Now I know having no school is messing with my head. There has never been a harsher reality check than that. I feel like a just ran into a brick wall! Definitely time to go to sleep.

Funny how you can sleep when you don't want to, but don't when you want to...

Before I get on that, I have to admit I feel very insecure about writing in these Journals lately. I want to post how I feel, but have no one pay any attention to all of this. It's not like I'm going to start written up Journal, and I don't specific enough details to make these private. I've only made about 3 Journals private. That's only because I had to write something, but too spineless to share it.
Anyways, back to sleeping. I was feeling tired and decided to take a shower. But before that, I stopped in front of the gas fireplace, and lay on the ground. I left myself to my thought for a bit. I almost feel asleep, but dragged myself to the shower after an hour of laying on the ground. After that, I lay on my bed for the next half hour, feeling drowsy. I then decided I should go to sleep early. 11:30pm is quite early for me. Thoguh I didn't fall asleep until 12:30am. An hour of staring at the ceiling, tossing and turning was... difficult. Then I woke up at 4:30am. No idea why, but I just plain was wide awake. I didn't dare get up, so I rested again, and woke up at 7:00am. Yes, these are practically right on the mark. Quite scary actually. I still felt tired, so I lay in bed until 10:00am, or what I thought was 10:00am. In reality it was 9:00am, because my clock was partially covered, so I though 8:45am was reall 9:45am. All in all, I didn't get out of bed until the real 10:30am. First time I eve spent 11 hours in bed...
