Just a late night
2002-12-07 01:13:50
I guess it all depends on the mood I'm in, on how much I write in this Journal. Who knows how much I'll write, concerning it's about 1:13am. Well, this is late for me. It's funny, if I hadn't have ever gotten some of the e-mail addresses of some friends here on the forums, I would never have anyone online late at night on Messenger. For example, I have none of my school friends online, but 4 AMVs friends online. Fun times. I have to admit, about writing in here, this is helping my typing and language skills. And this is much easier than writing up practice essays. ^_^ Oh ya, my Journals have been read 501 times! I'm happy to know that they're are people who are actually interested in what I do, day-in, day-out.
Well, right now, I'm watching Everybody's Free (To Watch Anime). Man do I love that music video. Just something you've got to sit down and enjoy.
Anyways, I haven't been on Messenger too often lately. But I definitely miss talking to many of them, like TheHentaiMaster, The_Digital_Phoenix and OhMyBelldandy009. But it can't be helped. I should be able to go on more next semester. But that's so faraway! So right now, I must concentrate on my present situation, before worrying about the future. I want to talk more with Angel (OMB(OhMyBelldandy009)), but like I've been complaining (which I shouldn't do), it's hard to get online at a decent time. My best times are 5:30pm to 6:15pm, 9:00pm to 11:00pm. It all depends what I have for homework... ^_^
Now I'm watching Gravity of Love - Lord of the Rings. It's pretty good. I remember going to see that movie. So long, but worth it. It's funny how I choose what music video to watch. I use Exploring, find what folder I want to look in, close my eyes, and scroll down until I stop. Then I just choose whatever is in the viewing area that I like. Not much to choose from, when on the Restored size window. About 9 vids to choose from, at least this gives them all a fair chance to be chosen. ^_^ Now the new candidate is a Street Fighter 2V - Eye of the Tiger vid. Timing is good, capture quality is ok, and the song's good. So I'll watch it about 3 times.
The craziest thing happened today. For all you Heart fans (the card game) you'll understand. Ok, I play cards like everyday at lunch. Normally Hearts, since many people cheat at the other games. Well, you all know what powr is, right? (Shoot the moon). It's when you get all 26 points, so technically, everyone gets 26 points, except for you. It's an awesome move, but hard to do. Anyways, here my friend is, trying to do it. I know he's trying for it, I can tell by the cards he's playing. You can tell how much I play! lol Well, no one else knew about it, just me, so it was great. I gave him a look, and he knew that I knew, so he was getting nervous. Ok, here's what he had, all the diamonds, the Queen of Spades and the King of Hearts! Almost perfect! Only one card could end up screwing him, the Ace of Hearts, since the other winning cards had been already been played. Well, nearing the end, he has 2 cards left. I pretty sure he has the Queen, but I'm gambling on him having the King. So much pressure. Well, he plays the King, and Iplay the Ace. I just stopped him for going for power! But the real play was about to be played. He didn't care that i stopped him, since he was going to dump the Queen on whatever suit would be played, thinking I had no Spades. Well, unluckily for him, I had the Jack of Spades! I lay it down, and he flips! Because he now has to take the Queen himself, 13 whole points! End of round, 4 points to me, 22 to him, and the other 2 guys didn't get anything. But he just couldn't believe that out of all my cards, I had to keep a Spade for the end.
Well, hate to tempt all of you reading, but there was this really weird, embarrassing, flattering part that follows this, but it gets too personal. So that part shall remain Private, until I feel comfortable to reveil it. ~_^ Put it this way, I am so confused about it, that I've been thinking about it non stop since it happened. So much thinking , that it feels like the whole event even happened last week, when it was today. I'm so confused...
2:00am, and am watching Cowboy Bebop - These girls are crazy! by MeriC. Now it's really getting late. I'm glad I moved my room to one of the rooms in the basement, or else I would be killed for staying up this late. ^_^
Topic Reply Notifications? Yes, I am online to Messenger right now, so I see a few of these e-mails coming in. People posting in the very early morning hours... lol
I definitely have to start reviewing AMVs again. I feel guilty about downloading them, and not giving anything in return. And since this is how I normally give somehting back, I should do that tomorrow! I have 48 opinions so far, 2 more and I'll have finally broken 50! Hopefully I'll keep my word. Nothing hurts more than breaking your own promises...
As you can see by the vids, I'm typing slower. My hands are frozen. Don't know why. My room is cold, but it's only my hands that are frozen. Anyways, I'm now wacthing Memories Dance, by Vlad Pohnert. Man do I love this music video! It's so good, and nice and long.
Now it's True Faith, by Aluminum Studios. This has got to be one of the greatest vids ever! And it's one of the only good music videos made using Pokémon footage. Pokémon the first movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back! But I can't even review it, since it's not logged into the AMV catalog. Unless I'm just so tired I missed eachtime I went thorugh his vids. Oh well, who knows...
Well, I'm going to bed, it's 2:22am. Late enough. See you all later, sometime. And congratulations if you actually read my whole Journal entries eachtime. ^_^ -
Ahhhh... See, it hasn't been that long. ^_^
2002-12-04 19:51:14
You know how I was saying that my marks in all of my subjects have taken a 180 since my last report card? If not, or I didn't post it, I'll give a brief explanation. Well, on my last report card, I was getting 87% in Computer's, 87% in Math, 70% in French and 73% in English (this one I'm not sure). But after this date, more specifically parent teacher night, I've been doing the opposite of what these marks reflect. In Computers, I just completed a project where I doubt I did too well, in Math I got 70% on a test!, in French I got 77% on a presentation, aced a test and 74% on an essay, and in English, I got 90% on my Comparative Paragraph (more like an essay), 82% on my Verbal-Visual Essay and 100% on a Macbeth quiz. Soooooo weird. Though I guess it all evens out. ^_^
I guess all the new episodes on television are over... ;_; Lately, there's been new episodes of DBZ, Yu-Gi-Oh!, BeyBlade, Digimon, Pokémon and ReBoot. Yes, I watch all of these. LOL I wish I could see some of your faces! J/K Anyways, once it hit December, they all reverted to the older ones. Darn those November rating tests. Well, I don't mind the Pokémon change, since I dislike the new ones compared the old ones. Ahhhhh... back to the good old days when they actually get to their destinations. LOL The DBZ change I don't mind either, since it's the Ocean Group Buu Saga, so everyone sounds worse and they music too, compared to Cartoon Network's. ReBoot and Yu-Gi-Oh!, man I wish they would continue with new ones! BeyBlade, I can't complain since those were the last episodes, nowhere to go now. And Digimon has started it's new season. Only one new episode a week though, Friday afternnon. But I have to admit, it seems pretty cool. And they finally changed the introduction after 3 seasons of the same. But the show does have it's foibles (sp?). With all this, I can't remember the lst time I watch a hockey game, or watched a whole episode of something that's not anime. LOL ^_^
Arghhhh! <---- How do I write something like this for an inhaling surprise action. You know, when you inhale for a longtime and say something like "OMG!". I know Phew!, and Ooooooooo, Ohhhhhhh, Huh, uhhhhh, Hmmmmm, Mmmmm... So many to use, but not enough!
Oh well, where was I? Oh yes, now I remember. Me not doing homework again. I should be doing it right now, but as usual, my lack of initiative and will power have taken hold again! I have a test on "The Great Gatsby" tomorrow, so I better finish the book tonight or tomorrow at lunch. I was going to do that today at lunch, but was sucked into playing cards in the caf. I normally rock at hearts, but today I was awful. Well, can't win them all. :(
I figured out how to make paragraphs in Messenger! I always thought you couldn't, but I figured out how. ^_^ And I'll share the secret to whoever actually takes the time to read this Journal. Well, to do it, you simply have to press Enter while holding SHIFT. Simple as that! I stumbled upon this trick when typing too fast, and all of a sudden, I was on the next line, but in the same message.
I would talk about my Christmas gifts that I know about , but my last Journal was Saturday, so I'm sure I talked abou it then. If I didn't, then I'll do it in my next Journal. ^_^
I think my friends have been eager to set me up on a date, ever since they did it with another one of my friends. They shall remain nameless, for now... LOL. Anyways, I'm just not interested right now. They keep pestering me, but it's not going to work. Though it is tempting, especially when other girls are trying to get me to go out. They sell me with the description of me like this: Nice, Shy, Smart and has a 6-pack. Which it's all true, but still embarrassing, since when I think of all those put together, I wouldn't really think of myself. LOL Well, I'm glad though they all have confidence in me and their trying to help me, but I really don't think I need help. When I feel ready, I'll ask someone out... ^_^
Though this sounds the same, it's on a completely different subject. What's with people force feeding help for you? I mean, people think you need help, even though you don't, and then insist and insist! Yes, you could call me stubborn, but I feel no better satisfaction than when I complete my goal without assistance or cheating. An example is in Computer Programming class. I use the wrong kind of code for something, it still works, just not as efficiently. My friend points this out, and I thank him for the tip. So then he tries to tell me what to do. I'm busy though finishing something else, and will fix my other problem later. But this isn't good enough for him, he insists, and insists! I keep refusing, and he's like practically giving me the code. I tell him I'll never understand it if he just gives it to me. So eventually, he gives up and complains about how stubborn I am. Well, I don't think I'm stubborn, I just like to stick to my morals. If I feel I really need help with something, I will ask, but I will make the decision to get help.
Lately I haven't been watching too many music videos. It's weird, I've returned to regular music. I use the WinAmp player all the time now. i guess it's just a phase. Speaking of music, I'm not sure what I want anymore concerning personal music players. MP3 player, MP3/CD player or Mini Disk player. I always wanted a MP3/CD player. So many songs on one CD, but it seems big, heavy and clunky compared to the new stuff. MP3 player, nice and compact, but so expensive for something good and a lot of memory. Mini Disk player, expensive but small and has lots of room. Only time will tell for thses decisions...
I feel like I could type on forever, but alas, I have to leave for hockey in 5 minutes. LOL Yes, I think I've been here for about an hour typing. Weird how I can do this now. I guess my language skills have been improving. I remember when I thought a paragraph of 100 words was a lot. LOL Now I find that a page maximum is ridiculus. I'm over in no time! I'm not complaining though. ^_^ Wish me luck! (PS, sorry again for mistakes, but I'm not proof reading this thing!) -
11 days?!?! :: smacks himself in the head ::
2002-11-30 23:42:24
Here I was thinking I hadn's written in this Journal for a few days! Now I check and it's been about 11 days. Time has just been flying by.
Right now, I'm making an Anniversary card for my parents. It's their anniversary tomorrow. Their 18th I think. So I hope I can make something pretty good tonight, but I'm getting tired...
I spent most of today shopping. It was pretty fun. My father and I went to Future Shop, the mall, Home Sense, and Business Depot... and many more. Since I went, I ended up knowing some of my gifts, but I don't really care, since I know I'm getting something I will actually enjoy. So I'm getting a 251 Memory card for Gc, Capcom vs. Snk 2 EO and a nice CD wallet. We spent a good 4 hours shopping, which is enough if I do say so myself. Very tiring, which is something you may have noticed if you've seen my Messenger name for today. ^_^ Yes, I've gotten into the habit of changing my screen name according to how I feel. It's interesting since many people end up talking to me by starting off commenting about my name. It's a good conversation starter!
Friday was a PA Day. So no school! I actually didn't do much that day. I was hoping to actually accomplish some homework... like that was going to happen! I wish I could kick myself. ;_; Anyways, that morning I spent most of it talking to Angel (OhMyBelldandy009). She's so sweet. I couldn't believe how long we talked, time just flew by. ^_^ But then I had to break for lunch.
In hockey news, we finally won. I think we lost like threes in a row, but we're still in like 3rd place. Makes no sense to me. But who am I am to disagree. ^_^ I've been on something like a 3 game point draught. It's really starting to bug me. And to make things worse, I've had some good chances. A breakaway, and missing a clear goal just don't boost the self-esteem. Well, let's hope for good results during tomorrow's game.
In other stuff, I haven't had time to make another avatar. I could easily make one, but I think I've started to grow on this one. Maybe I'll just make another Shinji one later. I made some sigs of my own! Clara made some great ones for me earlier, but I felt I had to make one for myself. One is just a regular Shinji one, with Anime Jedi on the left side. The other is 4 pics put side to side. This way, it looks like one pics, but it can have 4 urls attached! The problem is that the signature space is something like 512 characters, and with the images and urls, I don't have enough space to put the link to my Profile. I asked the mods what I could do, but I doubt they'll do anything drastic.
I actually saw the Evangelion box Set (DVD) at Future Shop! I couldn't believe it. I was about to collapse. But then I saw the price, and was shot back down to reality. $169.99 Canadian. That's quite a lot, considering the 007 (8 DVD) collection was right beside it, and was $109.99. Sure it's a bargain at about $20 a DVD, but as a whole, it's too expensive for me. Think about it, I could just buy a DVD Player for that price. Well, you remember that friend I talked about way back when. I checked in with him again, and all I need to see is a price. If it's lower, I'll get it!
Well, it's late. I have a card to finish. Angel and The_Digital_Phoenix have both signed in and started to talk to me (Messenger) at the same time. Coincidnece? lol Out for now, and hoping to be back sooner! ^_^ (too tired to proofread, sorry for spelling mistakes.) -
The hole that I just keep digging.
2002-11-19 21:53:44
Well, at least this time it it hasn't been 10 days, only like 9! Putting this off, that's so like me. Which is something I really don't like to admit or even do.
Continuing on with the idea that I put things off, a huge French project is due on Friday. Yes, Friday. And guess what today is, Tuesday. I just haven't been able to focus very hard on it, or anything.
...
As usual, my dad has given me a 5 min warning until I have to leave for hockey. No real time at all. Well, I'm gone, wish me luck! I'll finish when I get home. ^_^
...
I'm back. Looks like we lost. A harsh loss too. The score was 2 to 1 for the other team. Ever since the season started, it seems that all the other teams have had one star player emerge and normally win the game for their team. I'm not trying to blame our loss on anyone, but it just seems to happen very often. Anyways, no goals for me today. I ver close try, the goalie snagged the puck out of the air with his glove on one of my better shots. Soooooo close. Looks like I'll just have to try harder next time. ^_^
Where was I before, oh ya, French. Our group is pretty much no where right now. I blame myself for this. I haven't focussed or anything on my tasks. It's really starting to annoy me. Yes, I'm annoying myself with my lack of initiative, perserverance and responsibility. Whoa, pretty big words. ^_^ Anyways, I might do some right now, we'll find out when I see how long it takes me to finish this Journal. Look at me! My *can't find word, something about most important* thing to do is my Journal! Then my homework. I might even have to take a break from the org in total. Until I can get my priorities straight. That's the word! PRIORITIES. But I'll leave the spot earlier like it is, just to show how I have been unable to think lately.
Just to make things worse, I now have an English journal to do for Friday as well. Of course, I thought this Journal was due for today, until I was told different. I thought this was awesome. Practically another whole week to finish it. Well, then I remembered I have French. This has really screwed me for the week. I just keep digging that hole of mine deeper and deeper. I'll probably to the Journal... Well, I'll just have to find out when I do it. ^_^ I'm just lucky my other courses are fine. I still get homework, but I only do a couple of questions just to get the idea of it. I'm getting 87% in both of those courses anyways. I'm getting 70% in French and 73% in English. For myself that's fine for my low courses, but I still want to bring up those marks. Unfortunetely, I'm not doing so well for that goal. That's just another thing I'll have to make happen. ^_^
Other than school, everything is fine. I think I've been sleeping wrong since my arm has really been hurting me, as well as my neck. Nothing to complain about yet, so I keep my mouth shout. I have cable in my room now too. I'm so happy about that, but I find it is becoming more of a distraction that an enjoyment. Looks like I'll have to work on my integrity too. ^_^
Well, I definitely have to go. Check out the forums, and maybe to some work. -
It was Sunday before I knew it!
2002-11-10 15:56:05
I can't believe it's been 10 days since i last posted. I must really not know how to organize my time.
Well, I can't really remember what I did last week, not in detail that is. The weekend after Halloween was spent eating candy, and wasting time. I hate it when I do that. I didn't do my English homework for that Monday, and that made me feel really guilty, since my teacher actually checked it. Damn Murphy's law! Anyways, only 3 people did it, so we were given a second chance. But I still felt really bad about it, so I worked really hard on it after that. Now this week we have lots of projects due in English, though I don't think the 2 are related.
Math, I've been getting a lot of homework. So, nothing has really changed too much there. We're on our 5th unit now, we just had our 4th test. French, I have a huge presentation soon. I really have to start working on it. I have a feeling everyday for the next week I'll be working a little on it. Computers, I've been doing well. I've been working too hard on my Anime Info prgram though. This is only an extra project, and I haven't even finished the mandatory stuff yet. But I keep getting distracted by it. I really, really have to learn how to focus. Like this, I should be doing homwork instead of writing in my Journal. I think I'm going to get pissed off at myself later.
Updates, I should really do some. Whether it's fixing stuff in my room, or it's updating (working on it) my website. It's probably the worst website out there right now, since all it has is a caption that's something like "Still Thinking..." and it has a Gundam Wing midi playing.
More recent stuff, Friday I rented the DVDs of Evangelion (4 and 5). I just had to see them. I've been waiting for a response from my friend about the DVD set I wanted to order from him, but he hasn't returned my e-mail. Sniff! My chances of getting it are fading. Feels like forever I've been looking, thought i know it's been significanly shorter time than that. ^_^ Weel, about the DVDs, I wanted to watch them on my dad's computer, since he has a DVD Drive. Well, big whoop for having the Drive! A person needs a player too. x_x I found out that people who buy there computer with a DVD Drive get a player, but otherwise, no. So I search, and search, and search. Nothing that could play longer than 10 mins of footage. Man did that piss me off. So I posted a thread about it and got the idea to get the Zoom player. I used to use it, but just as a media player on my computer. It wouldn't have worked either, but downloading all those other players allowed me use use theie decoders for the DVD, so it all works now! I'm so happy. ^_^
Yesterday, I woke up late, 9:45am. Yes, I know what you're saying, but for me, that's quite late. I found out that morning my brother and mother were going to the mall, so I had to hurry and get ready if I wanted to go too. It's a good thing I went, there was a lot of newer stuff I hadn't seen before. And some good stuff for sale. I ended up buying Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, another GameCube controller since one of my other ones is giving me trouble and another pair of jeans. There's always anime at the mall, but sooooo expensive. Only things cheap are EoE and D&R, which I already have the both of them. If any good games for GameCube ever get cheaper, I will definitely buy them. But for now, I have to wait. I was also trying to buy another good CD case thing, since the one I have holds 20 cds, and I've already filled that. And that's all burned anime music video cds! My harddrive (even with the new one I got) tends to get filled up, I don't want to risk hitting the top, so I burn everyone I download. ^_^ So I couldn't find a good one. All the ones I found seemed cheap boring and the slots for the cds seemed lose, so I wouldn't reallywant my cds to fall out. Of course it's a zipper case, but if they fall out of their slots in the case, they'll scratch eachother ;_;. Anyways, that's all I got at the mall.
After that, I went to my friends house and watched Enough. Pretty good movie. It has Jennifer LoPez as the abused wife. Once the movie was over, we played Jenga (sp?), Who wants to be a millionaire? (PSX), and watched Seinfeld (Soup Nazi). Good times. During Seinfeld, I noticed a huge cage in the same room. I looked over and this cute little fuzzy animal popped up. He said it's a Chinchilla. It looked like a mix between a rabit and a big Hamster. I even got to pet it, and saw how cute it was in person!
Anyways, Sunday today, and i haven't done too much. After al the time I've spent here, I have around an hour to do my homework. x_x I can't believe this! I should kick my own ass for this. Well, 'till the next time.^_^
