*sigh* I am still continuing the processes of getting all the adware and spyware off of my desktop which means I'm currently typing this on my laptop as Ad-aware runs once again. lol Every time I run it, it finds more and I also downloaded Spybot S&D and that found a bunch of stuff the first run though and I'm going to run it again shortly as soon as this one's finished. It's taking a while because there's a whole lot of files on my desktop. lol Man. This'll teach me not to download the latest windows updates though. lol Recent ones have some protections against these things. So, I'll be downloading lost from microsoft.com once all this current stuff is done scanning my system. Still not getting everything, but I've downloaded another thing that should hopefully get rid of the major problem that's annoying me right now. What is it you ask? Well, every time I go to Google to do a search I get this fake results page and then if I click the next page button, it'll go to the real results. It's annoying as heck. lol So yes, I'd like to take this opportunity to alert you all to the dangers and evilness of adware and spyware because it's very mean to your poor sad computer. I suggest you all download some program and scan your system and make sure you've got all the recent windows updates and whatnot. And just think, once I finish with my desktop, I get to do my parent's desktop too! lol
Today at work was interesting. The first show almost sold out and there were only four of us working so it was extra fun. ;) lmao I hope you all realize I'm being scarcastic there. :P Then the second show sold out, but we had more people and movie-goers got there earlier so we actually started the movie on time! *shock* Normally we always do, but lately people have been coming enmass only 10 or less minutes before the movie's supposed to start so there's huge lines in the concession area and going down the theatre aisles so we have to try and get most of the people out of the lobby before we can get the previews going and then the movie started. So naturally, it was a bit of a shock when we got to start the movie on time tonight. ;) lol We'll see how it goes tomorrow.
In other news I really need to update my TCG. Poor members haven't gotten any new cards recently. So sad. :( lol I even made a new deck the other day, but then I decided that it was too dark so I need to change it and I just haven't motivated myself to do so yet since I've been working on getting my desktop de-wared. lol I think I just invented a new word! lmao *does a little dance* Does that make me cool now? Probably not, I'd imagine that it makes me more dorky. lol Anyway, guess I'll be off now to try and get some things accomplished while I continue to scan the hard drive on my desktop. TTFN!
Addition: Success!!!!! lol Woo for CWShredder! lol It removed the thing that was messing with my google searches!!! *dances* lol So yes, happy about that. ;) Now I just need to get those updates and possibly do a few follow-up type scans or something. Thank you God!! :D
I just got back from the movies. I went and saw The Day After Tomorrow. :D I couldn't wait until tomorrow to see it. *snickers* Sorry, forgive my terribly bad humor, couldn't help it. ;) lol Anyway, the movie was RAD! lol I thought it was great. Very well made with great graphics and a good story line too. Yay for Dennis Quaid and boy do I heart me his character's son in the movie! lol He's my hero. ;) (Yes Sam, I have yet another hero and coincidentally, his character's name in the movie is also Sam. lmao) You all should totally see this movie, but then again, it's just my style of movie with the natural disaster stuff. ;) And while the movie is a bit over-dramatizing as far as how fast the climate would change, it is based on an all to real idea of the possibilities we face in the future if we don't do something to stop global warming, etc. So yeah, it's right up my alley and I really liked it. :D
So, the other night I discovered that my desktop was having problems. It was going REALLY slow and it turns out that it was all of a sudden over-run by adware and crap. Arg. So, I downloaded Ad-aware, a software program, to get rid of it. So, I got a bunch of stuff off my desktop, but apparently there's still some other junk so I'm going to have to run a few more things to get the rest off. Hopefully I can get everything off without having to reformat the drive 'cause well, that'd suck. lol
I've got a long weekend of work ahead of me now. I've got two more of the 7 and a half hour shifts as well as two 4 and a half ones which really isn't much compared to shifts I used to have at other jobs, but I'm not very used to it anymore. lol Plus, it's sort of in the middle of my day so it takes more out of you that way I think. ;) Anyway, mommy wants me to cook some ground beef before work so I guess I'd best be off now. Ta ta!

So, Friday night I spent over eight hours working on ONE layout! lol Yeah, just one. I decided to try another new style which is something I like to do every once in a while. I did my first interface style layout and I think it came out pretty good. You know, there's a couple things I'd like better if they'd come out a bit differently, but that tends to happen with a lot of layouts and they do say that you're your own worst cridic, right? And what was the layout for you ask? I have just taken over the fanlisting for Nick Carter so that's what it was for. :) You can see it here if you'd like and let me know what you think on the tag perhaps. :D
In other news, I worked for 7 and a half hours on Saturday. It was quite nice really. We're showing Shrek 2 right now and all the shows on Friday and on Saturday sold out. Then yesterday I worked the first two shows and those both sold out as well. Then I decided to go to watch the last show and it was like, really quiet! lol Still a good showing for a Sunday night, but since all the other shows had been sold out it was a little odd. ;) Good movie though. I've heard a lot of people saying they think it's funnier than the first one, but I don't think so. I mean, it's funny and all, but I didn't get as much of a kick out of it as I did the first one. I did quite enjoy the bit with the catnip when the cops caught up with Puss in Boots though. That was pretty funny. ;)
Not too much else that's been going on. Hoping to go and see The Day After Tomorrow on Friday morning when it comes out though. :D That movie looks so rad! I saw the extended trailer when I went to Troy last week and there's some rad special effects and stuff in that movie and I just really like how it's about the projected outcome of if the greenhouse effect continues to escalate and other environmental problems are not addressed and fixed. I'm hoping the movie's really good, but I think it will be. We'll have to wait till Friday to find out for sure though. ;) Anyway, I shall be off now. I'm hoping to make a new layout for this site soon, but I'm not totally sure what I'll do so we'll see about that. Ta!

Hey hey. I appologize for not posting sooner. I was gonna post yesterday about the excitement that was going to see Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban early, but then I went to work and went to see Troy in the evening. We'll backtrack a bit though and I'll make you all wait a bit before I tell you about going to see HP. ;) lol
Tuesday I cleaned my room a bunch... and I LIKED it! lol I was in the mood and then it made me all happy to see it clean and nice looking. I've still got a few boxes that I haven't unpacked since we moved in, but my room's quite a bit improved now and you can see so much more of my floor too! lol ;) I stopped cleaning when it was time for me to go meet Autumn and pick her up. We went to dinner and ate breakfast foods. lol Then we played .COM Monopoly and I whooped her butt! I had 11 of the 500 MILLION dollar bills! lol Autumn gave up before she went completely bankrupt though. lol Bummer. ;)
We went to bed early(aka 11pm) so that we'd get enough sleep before the alarm went off at 7 AM. Unfortunately for me, I didn't actually fall asleep until 3 AM and then I was still awake most of the night. Arg. lol I even got up on my own at 6:30 AM. CRAZY! Oh well. Anyway, I drove us into Seattle to the theatre where they were having the screening for HP. I was still a bit unsure on whether or not they were going to let us in, but yay, it was no problem! lol Walked in, told the lady who we were and she just goes, "Okay, we're in theatre 1 over there." I was like, "Yay, that was easy!" ;) lol And the movie, well... it was GREAT! :D You know, it's like TOTALLY off from the book, but still good. :) So yes, just be prepared for it to skip a lot of stuff from the books and re-arrange a bit as well. I'm trying to be really good and not give out any spoilers, but there's this one part in the movie that totally cracked me up. So, if you don't want to know beforehand, skip this next bit. ;) lol
< SPOILER > Okay, so Harry's sitting on his bed in the Hogwarts dormitory writting or reading, something like that when Ron starts shifting on his bed across the room. Ron's movin' around going, "Spiders... spiders..." for a second and then he starts to wake up and looks at Harry and continues, "spiders... the spiders want me to tap dance. I don't want to tap dance!" lol Then Harry looks at him and goes, "You tell those spiders Ron." lmao Well, it's a lot more funnier when you watch it and I probably wrote it a tad off, ya know, being that my memory is not perfect. ;) < / SPOILER >
So yes, everyone go see the movie the day it comes out and laugh and have fun because it's way cool! Oh, and stay to watch the credits! I know, it sounds crazy, but they did them REALLY cool, you'll see what I mean. :) Anyway, after the movie I got rather perturbed because Seattle made me angry. I really do not like that city. You know, one thing went wrong and then a few others things did too and it just got to me, which is unusual. Poor Autumn, I think I took it out a bit on her too. Sorry Aki!!!! But yes, Seattle = ARRRRRRRR! lmao I took Autumn home and then came home myself for a while after stopping for a sandwich, which was quite tasty and I bought my mom some be-lated Mommy's day flowers and that cheered me up from having to drive in Seattle. ;) Then it was off to work.
After work I went over to my friend Crystal's house and hung with her before it was time to leave for the movie. I know Crystal and her family 'cause they've gone to the same church as me for years and Crystal and I just started hanging out recently, but now she's moving to Florida. lol We talked a lot about that yesterday because she's going back to work at Disney World and I've sort of been thinking about going and working there for a while so she was telling me about it and stuff. :) When it got time we left and drove to the movie theatre and went to see Troy. :) We made it there just in time too. It was a really good movie. You know, minus the naked-ness that you get hit with right away. lol At least they didn't show more than their sides and backs, but still. Anyway, the rest of the movie was really good. ;) lol Except they killed my favorite character, Prince Hector. *sniffs* He was such a good guy too and he had a kid and his wife and Achilles frickin' dragged his body in the dirt!! ARRRR. He sort of made up for it later when he sort of turned nice, but still... *sniff* lol Anyway, highly recommend that movie to you all, really well made and quite interesting too. So yeah, I didn't get home until like 2 AM last night. lol And then I slept until like 2 PM today. lol Ah, I think I've given up on having decent sleeping habits for the time being. ;) Anyway, I'm being distracted from this by the TV so I'll go now. Nighty night. *waves*

I've decided once again that sleep is over-rated. Of course, if you try and wake me up in the morning, I'll tell you the exact opposite. ;) lol Anyway, so far this evening I've watched One Hundred and One Dalmations, the animated version, then I watched the last half of Batman & Robin on TV. That Robin, he's a cutie. ;) lol
While I've been watching, I've also been attempting to write my letter to the Backstreet Boys. Or well, to some person who will hopefully read it and maybe tell the Backstreet Boys. lol Anyway, I'm currently stuck in a thought rutt on it. I could really use the opinion of Sam, but alas, it's a quarter to 4 AM here and an hour earlier where she is and therefore she is not online. lol I guess that means I'll probably go to sleep soon and attempt to continue the writing process tomorrow. I've got some web stuff that really needs to be done by tomorrow as well. *sigh* On a happier note though...
I MIGHT get to go to a screening of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban on Wednesday. :) We'll see how it all goes. I should hopefully know by tomorrow if I get to go or not. I hope I do, but I'm not going to bank too much on it just in case something goes wrong. lol
Work was interesting er... yesterday I guess it was now. Brian J. was cleaning the guys bathroom and he started going "ew" and stuff and we could here him in the lobby and then he's all like, "there's crap on the toilet!" So yeah, lucky him got to clean it up and I went on to carpet sweep some. A few minutes later I hear him yelling "Holly, where are you?" "I'm carpet sweaping!" So he comes down the opposite asile as the one I was on with a rag in his hand proclaiming it's a poopy rag he used to clean and he started trying to throw it at me! lol I pick up the carpet sweeper and try to use it to fend him off to no avail and then I just ran! lol He kept throwing it, and praise God, missing me and then he'd pick it up and come after me with it again. lol He told me afterwards that he wouldn't have actually hit me with it 'cause it'd be too gross. lol Sure Brian. ;) Like I said, interesting day at work. Hehehe.
Man, I know there was a bunch more things that I wanted to post since the last time I was good and wrote, but I can't remember now. Humm... let me think for a moment and see. *ponders as Jepordy music plays in the background* Egh, well I sort of remembered something, but it's not worth posting about really. lol Well, I'm off now then. Ta ta all!

One girl is worth more than 20 boys... So true, eh? It's another quote from Peter Pan. I'm watching it again. :) lol In other news... I just shot a 52 out of 60 while playing archery a bit ago! :D *dances* That means I got three arrows in the yellow and three in the red, which is quite good, very good for me. ;) Haven't done too much else today. But, what else I did do was cool. :)
I went down to work shortly after noon when I got a call from Brian K. He was calling to tell me he was almost done building the movie. I got to watch Van Helsing. :D Brian's friend Kevin was also there. So it was me and the two of them watching the movie and no one else. lol It's always sort of funky to be in a huge theatre with pretty much no one else watching the movie. There've been a few times when I've been at big theatres during the day when there weren't many people either and there was one time when I was the ONLY person. lol It's more fun to watch movies with big groups of people though. ;) lol But so yes, I liked Van Helsing. Can't give a review of any sorts on it though because I need to see it again and digest more of it. There's a lot of little things to pick up on and something I realized near the end quite intrigued me. Plus, if I started spouting about the movie now you'd all get mad at me if you were planning on going to see it since it doesn't come out till tomorrow anyway. Don't wanna have anyone getting mad at me for ruining something in the movie. ;) lol I recommend it though. Especially if you liked Underworld and/or League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. It's sort of a cross between the two in a way. :)
Oh, the cleverness of me! "If I was you, I'd be ugly." And I wasn't crying! "You, are a codfish." Sigh, I do heart me some Peter Pan, for sure. ;) lol So yes, guess who went out on Tuesday afternoon and bought Peter Pan on DVD? C'mon, it can't really take you that long to figure it out. ;) lol I do believe I'll have to make another Peter Pan layout again soon. I'm fully addicted. lol I'm watching it for the fourth time. I would be like the sixth since I got it, but I had a headache and therefore didn't watch it a third time Tuesday night and I had to update 2kaotic so I didn't watch it after I first got up today(it's still "today" for me although it's early in the AM now, lol). I think that Peter Pan is my second favorite movie ever! Stargate is my very favorite, of course, but Peter Pan is right after it now. ;) I tell you, it seems like it's just me that's in love with this movie, but you all should go rent it and give it a chance! I want to fly away to Neverland and battle pirates and fly around with Peter! lol Okay, yes, I am a total dork, but we've gone over this before and I know I am. ;) Hahaha. *stands with her feet apart and hands on hips in the "Peter" stance* Wee! lol
I've even been thinking up Peter Pan related domain names. Yes, someone take away my access to domain registrars! lol I am so very tempted now. ;) And it's darn too bad that Peter can't be a bit older and real. Man. lol The boy they got to play Peter in the movie was perfect though. He's got the slow, mischivious grin that just IS Peter Pan. And the girl who plays Wendy is brilliant as well and they're just so cute together! lol And there's so many English words like bounder in the movie. lol Lovely. :D
Okay, I shall try and talk about something other than Peter Pan now. ;) lol Try anyway. I can tell you about my pimple. lmao It's right smack dab in the middle of my shnoz and it's nice and red. *sigh* So lovely. *rolls eyes* Anyway, I've been pretty lucky all my life, haven't had too many zits. And you know, I've never popped any of them. I just always let them go away on their own because I was afraid to pop them. So today my mom says I should pop it, that it might help it heal faster, etc. I was scared. lol So, I told her to do it. She whips out a nice, long sewing needle and I'm all like, AHHHH!!! lol The first poke was fine, but you know, it didn't really work so mom poked it again and OW! lol No wonder I had a fear of having a pimple popped! It hurt. And it didn't accomplish anything either! I pushed out all the puss earlier and what did I notice when I got back from work, it'd sealed the little hole up and the puss was back and it looks just like it did before. lmao *shakes head* Oh the irony. Well, I'm not doing that again. lol
Well, I'm off now, but I shall close with the following. I still want the first boy I kiss to turn entirely pink(glowing, of course), yell out the emotion, and then spiral up into the air and finally, defeat his arch foe. Yes, that would be the ideal first kiss for me. ;) lol Now, how does one get a boy to glow pink without visual effects on film? *ponders* lol
