Well, here I am posting once more. Don't expect any after this for about a week though because camping starts early tomorrow morning. I've just been hanging out here at my cousin's house. Not really doing anything special yet, but it's nice just to see them. Currently I'm posting on here because all of them are either gone or doing their chores. lol Humm... I don't really even know why I'm posting 'cause there's pretty much nothing to say since my other post, but oh well. lol Anyway, I guess I'll go surf the net for a bit and then just get off of here and find something else to keep me occupied. :) TTFN!

Well, I'm here, and I'm still alive! lmao The flight was good, just boring as usual. ;) lol But dang, right when we were landing... you all should have seen the moon! It was full and right down by the horizon and RED! Holy shoot, it looked so freakin' cool! lmao I was gonna try and take a pic with my cam, but I didn't end up doing that. I'm on my Uncle Jeff's computer right now and it's really weird because he's go his screen resolution really low for the size of this monitor and everything is HUGE! lmao Anyway, I haven't really done much of anything yet while I've been here. We got here(to my Grandparent's house) just before 10pm so I watched Who's Line for an hour and then went to bed. Then I woke up around 6:30am this morning and tried to force myself back to sleep. I slept for around an hour, woke up again, slept for around an hour, then woke up again, and continued in this cycle until I woke up just after nine and realized that I had a bloody nose! Fun stuff I tell ya. lol ;) It's 'cause it's so darn dry and hot down here. After that was all done annoying me, I watched The Price Is Right because there was really nothing else on. I thought that show was only like a half an hour long, but it was an hour. Anyway, now I'm on the net posting and then I guess I'll check my e-mail. I think pretty soon my Grandma's gonna take me over to one of my cousin's house and I'm going to be there until we leave for camping on Saturday. My Grandparents also said something about my Uncle and them all taking me with them to a concert on Friday night for the 5th Demension. I'm not exactly sure who they are, but Grandma and Grandpa said they play them on the oldies stations, so I'm sure I've heard some of their songs before, but I don't know which they are. lol I might not be going though because I thought that just my Aunt and Uncle were going, but who knows right? lol Anyway, that's pretty much it for now so I'm gonna go check some of my e-mails before we go. TTFN!

A Public Service Announcement
By HoL
Hehehe. I know, I know... I've got WAY too much free time! lmao If you didn't alreay guess by the PSA, or if you didn't look at it, I got Photoshop 7 today. :) I also got Illustrator 10, but sadly, it's going to take me a bit to learn how to use it properly and my poor little Celeron processor is too dang slow! lmao I'm also hoping that I'll get Photoshop Elements tomorrow or when I get back from vaca. If I don't, it'll be okay, but I was kinda looking forward to some of the features in it. lol Oh man though, once I learn Illustrator... all will be very happy. Wanna know my fave thing so far about Illustrator(yeah, I played with it for a while)??? There's a star shape creator!!!! WOO HOO!!! lmao Sorry, that was just too dang exciting for me. lol There's also a spiral and some other cool stuff too. :)
Happy b-day Tammy!!!! I'm pretty sure she'll never see that, but at least I can tell her that I posted it. ;) lol That reminds me... I need to give her a ring 'cause she never called me back! lol Her family like never gives each other messages or something like that. Autumn's family is the same way too. Well, this is it for now. Perhaps I'll post some more later. :)

I need sleep. I think I might actually go to bed at 10pm tonight or something! It was bad at church this morning. I was working the projector system for the singing lyrics and half the time I was a little late with changing them. I kept spacing out because I was so tired. Other than that I've been okay without the sleep except for the headache I've got right now. Humm... an early bed time would do me good tonight since I've gotta get up around seven tomorrow morning.
I did have a somewhat productive day as far as web stuff goes though. :) I made another wallpaper and put them both up at All My Love. I also put up the updates site I've been thinking about for a while. It's at updates.star-ish.org right now. :) And that's where it'll stay, I'm sure. lol Only thing is that there's no real title for the site. Anyone have any good ideas they'd like to share with me? lol
If all goes well tomorrow, I should get my Adobe products when I get to work. Then, there might be a few new layouts before I leave for Cali on Wednesday. Oh, and as a side note... I will be posting still while I'm in Cali. My cousins all have the internet and stuff so I'll probably have the chance to get on a few times(I usually do). There won't be any posts for a little over the first week I'm down there though because I'll be camping and I'm pretty sure there won't be any computers with an internet connection there. I could be wrong though, you never know. lmao ;) Anyway, that's all for now. TTFN!

Final score: Storm - 54, Comets - 56. Bummer eh? I think so. We were winning up until the last minute and then they called a technical on Sue Bird and that screwed the whole thing over. Personally, I think it was a bad call, but you know, whatever. Anyway, they played really well and the game was totally awesome! :) I need to go again. I'll probably have to wait until next season though since I'm going down to Cali for so long. :( Bummer. Oh, and none of us got a Sue Bird bobble head because the line was so huge by the time we finally got over there. Oh well. I mean, I didn't particularly want one or anything, but some of the other peeps in my youth group did. But yeah, so the game rocked, but I still wish we'd won. ;)
Ani and I house sat for her neighbor last night. It was... interesting. lmao First, we didn't get there until around 10pm. Then, the little dog(there were two dogs) kept licking my feet!! I was all like, "What the...?" What kind of stupid dog licks your bare feet? Anyway, yeah, that was interesting. We watched some movies after I blew up some mac n' cheese in the microwave, lol put it in for a little too long ;), and then around 3am we decided it was time for bed. I woke up at 7am to the sound of Ani going, "oh no," because the little dog had gone to the bathroom on the floor. lmao I fell right back asleep and then woke up an hour later and actually got up off the couch. We watched Jaws because Ani had never seen it. Then we took the dogs out to play for a while. After that was the fun part... lmao The toilet overflowed and we had to clean it up! EW!!!! It was very gross to put it lightly. lol
That's all of what happened today pretty much. I should be asleep already because I've gotta get up early for church and work the projector for the lyrics and stuff, but I had to get some internet time in. lol It's rather sad actually, I sacrifice my needed sleep in order to check e-mails and blog. I think that perhaps something is wrong with me, but I'm all right with it! lol Anyway, gonna jet now. G'night!

So, today I got up early and went to work with my mom for a few hours and then we headed up to meet Sam and her dad! :D It was SOOOO much fun! We mainly just shopped and hung out, but it was great and Sam rocks so much. :) Yay Sam! lol It was a bummer when Sam had to leave. We're already planning our next get-to-gether thing though. lmao And next time the Boys are touring, if they stop in B.C., we're going to meet up there for the concert! How cool would that be?! lol But yeah, there's really not a lot to say because we didn't actually DO that much, but it was just fun and besides, you all already know how cool Sam is right? If not, then you should. ;) Humm... not much else to blog about except that while Sam and I were shopping I got two pairs of sun glasses(one with green lenses and one with orange lenses), four new bandanas(really bright orange, pink camo, vibrant green, and white with blue stars), and a new pair of cute pants. :D Well, gotta go, gotta get ready to leave in a while. :) TTFN!
Thursday, July 18, 2002
Normally I don't work on Wednesdays, but I did yesterday because we had a demo. It was for the 844/X so I wore my shirt that my boss gave me a while ago that advertises it. On the back it says, "844/X :you'll want one." It's a very true statement. lol I only got to watch part of the demo and I want one! lmao Only problem is that well, to buy one you're looking at around $60,000. It's a little more than I could afford, ya know? lmao Anyway, it's a video editing/production system type of thing. Anyway, it's cool. :) I got to do a lot of shopping while I was at work yesterday too. lol When I got their in the morning, they sent me out to get some food n' things for the demo and then when I got back from that, I got to go and get lunch for everyone. lol
I'm trying to think what I did after work yesterday... I was pretty out of it because I've been running off of a depleated number of hourse of sleep lately(I think I may have caught up last night though lol). I know that I made a wallpaper for All My Love which I'll put up today or tomorrow or something after I make at least one more. I'll also be launching a new site before I go on vacation if I've got the time. lol I've got plenty of time today too 'cause it's just lazy day after all that work and junk, but I don't know if I'll end up making a whole bunch of wallpapers instead or something like that. Anyway, we'll just hope and if not, then it'll be up when I get back I'm sure. :)
Tomorrow I get to go meet Sam!!! YAY!!! I'm all excited! :D We're going to have lunch and hang out around an outlet mall in the city we're meeting in and stuff. We don't really have anything specific planned except that we're hoping there's a Target up there so we can get some ICEEs. :) lol Hopefully there's some cool stores around there. I was looking on the net earlier to see if I could find a site for that outlet mall and see the stores that are there n' all, but I didn't have much luck in that. I did find one site with some shopping places in the city listed, but it was only privately owned companies and none of them looked that interesting, but maybe they will be or something. Either way it doesn't really matter 'cause Sam and I will have plenty of fun just chatting and wandering around the place I'm sure. lol
After I get back from my visit with Sam, I'm going to hang with Ani for the night. We're gonna watch movies all night and cry when we see A Walk to Remember again. lol I love that movie. :) I don't know what else we're going to do, but watching movies with surround sound and pigging out on ice cream's lots of fun! lmao Oooh... I wonder if they've got The Fast and the Furious? That would rock on surround sound! Ooh, we'll have to watch Moulin Rouge too! Yeah! lol
Saturday's all planned too. After I get back from Ani's I'm going to go down to the church and meet up with everyone and head out to Seattle for the Storm game. :) I haven't been to a Storm game for... around four years! Yeah, that long. lol And I do believe that that was the only one I'd ever been to as well. That was back in... 7th grade, I think, for my last Panther Pride performance. The Panther Pride Demo Team is a unicycling team of mostly elementry and some middle school kids. It's pretty big. But yeah, that was the last time I performed with the group because I was quitting so that I could play soccer with school which I actually didn't end up doing anyway. I've still got a unicycle in the garage though. I think I need to whip it out and practice some. :) I pulled it out a month or two ago and low and behold, I can still ride! Woo! It's just like a bicycle in that, once you learn, you don't forget. I'm too afraid to try riding backwards right now though. lol I think I'd need to practice that with some help before I just went out and tried. lol But yeah, that was my last(and only time thus far) at a Storm game and for the last routine I was in, I messed up at the beginning of it, had to stop, then had to ride REALLY fast to get into my spot right before we rode in between the taller unicycles(I can ride one of those too, but I don't like them much because I always thought I was going to run over one of the smaller unicycles when I was on one lol), but I did and managed to finish up just fine. :) My favorite routine was "Wipe Out" though. That one's fun. Let's see... there'd be either four or eight of us(I can't remember exactly) in the routine and we'd ride around in a pattern before despersing to the four corners of the floor, then one from each corner would ride straight into the center and the same time and the object was not to wipe out in the middle. And of course we did it to that song too. ;) *sigh* I love these memories. lol Okay, enough of my blabbering. I've gotta have mom trim my bangs and stuff. Ta ta!

Well, I'm sitting here at work waiting for the phone to ring... and it's not. lol There's nothing else for me to do so I just get to wait. My tummy's grumbling. Perhaps I'll get the chance to go on a lunch break in a while. I think there's a Taco Bell down the road so I can get my usual: two double decker tacos, no tomatoes, extra sour cream. Yumm... I almost miss working at Taco Bell simply for the fact that my double decker tacos were so much better than any that I get made for me now. lmao Woah... the phone just rang! lol I got to take a message... so much fun. ;) lol
Oh, guess what came while I had my days off! All of the Adobe NFR products that I ordered! Woo! But guess what else... they forgot to send us the right number. lmao Oh well, I just called and asked for a few more things. I've had to wait for Photoshop 7 this long already, why not wait a while longer right? lol Gotta jet!
Saturday, July 13, 2002
Wow, it's been a long time since I've made a layout for anyone but myself or someone I know offline, but I did! :) Harpa had a bunch of crap happen to her comp so she asked me if I'd make a layout for her domain and I said sure. :) It's got Nick on it... in a Pac Man shirt. lol
Why is it that I become lazy all the time and skip like three days worth of posts? It makes me angry. lol I can't remember what happened on Thursday... it's a complete blank right now. lol I remember yesterday though! I went to get Ani and Aki and we all went to see Reign of Fire. It was good, but I donno, I thought it was going to be a bit better than that. I still loved it though. :) Autumn(Aki) thought the dragons were way cool because they looked like fluffy kitty cats. Yeah... I don't understand her either. lmao Their faces kinda do remind you of cats though, but the fluffy part is definately way off. Anyway, Christian Bale rocks my friggin' socks! I need to go and see if there's a fanlisting for him that I can join! :) Autumn and I were all excited to see him because we're huge Newsies fans and he played the cowboy in that. So yeah, after that, we got free ice cream that was REALLY good! lol It was all chocolate-y and it had chocolate chips and brownie pieces in it... YUMMY! lol We ended up with second helpings too because the girl who was handing them out needed to get rid of them before they went bad so she came up and offered us some more. lol After we finished devouring the free ice cream, lmao, we went over to Wherehouse Music and I bought A Walk To Remember on DVD. All I can say is... *cry, cry, cry* SO GOOD! lol The tears really start to flow when Landon goes to thank his dad and he starts crying... *cry* And I mean, who could not fall for a guy that says all that happy stuff like, "I might kiss you," and other happy lines? Heh.
Autumn and I ended up staying up really late watching Independence Day on TV. I woke up at like 4 AM and realized that Autumn and I had both fallen asleep during the movie and the TV was still on. lmao But yeah, then this morning we made biscuit doughnuts! *yum* lmao I'm sure you all have no idea what that is, but they're REALLY good! You just take biscuit dough from those store bought containers, poke holes through the centers, cook them in some oil, and then shake them up in a bag with cinnamon and sugar. Anyway, they're VERY tasty! lol Then we watched TV, played the Sims(that game is TOO addictive, but at least we finally got the character to be happy!! yay), then made hamburger noodle bake which is, well, THE best food EVER! To me, anyway. ;) Then I took her home... in my PJs. lol We were both too lazy to get dressed and it wasn't like we were going anywhere except for the car so we just stayed in our shorts and t-shirts. lol But yeah, thus far, that's what's happened lately. And the red streaks are still holding up in my hair!! WEE!! And... *shock* I actually wore my hair down ALL of yesterday without a bandana on it! I know, freaky ain't it? lol For those of you who don't know... I pretty much ALWAYS have a bandana covering my hair. Welp, I'm tired of typing and I'm going to attempt to work on my websites tonight. Oh yeah, and I put up a new layout at All My Love the other day... can't believe I forgot about that! lol Anyway, TTFN!
Wednesday, July 10, 2002
Woah, I just noticed that there's a wear spot in the plastic of my space bar right where my thumb always hits it. lol Dang, if that doesn't say how much time I spend sitting at my computer typing things, I don't know what does! lmao
Well, I just spent the last few hours cleaning my room. It took a lot longer than I thought it was going to and I've still got a few things that I get to do tomorrow or this weekend. I can't do anything on Friday though. I've already go that reserved to go and see Reign of Fire. :D I'm so excited! A dragon movie with the guy who played "Cowboy" in the Newsies! That is just too freakin' cool I tell ya! ;) Anyway, back to the room stuff, now that I've finally got it clean(and will have it cleaner in a few days) I have to keep it that way for the rest of the time I live in this house. Yeah, I have to keep it clean all the time now. This will be an interesting challenge, but it's a nessasary one so that when people who are interested in buying our house and come to tour it don't get scared away. lol It's a good thing that my step-brother moved out a few years ago or no one would want to buy our house! lmao His room constantly looked like a tornado had just come threw and ravaged the entire thing. You know, he used to catch spiders and really big bees and put them in little baby food jars and keep them on the window sill in his room... EW! It always freaked me out because I thought they were going to get loose and come into my room to get me in the middle of the night. lol Anyway, I haven't watched Who's Line Is It Anyway? for a while and it's on in ten minutes so I gotta go. lol TTFN!
Monday, July 8, 2002
Yesterday was much fun. :) It ended up being entirely girls for dinner and theatre sports. lol My youth pastor didn't even come, so it was just his wife and all of us girls. We went to Red Robin first for dinner and our waiter... STUD! lmao Tammy pointed out that it must be a reqirement for all guys who work at Red Robin that they've gotta be good looking. lol It was funny because Tammy and I were the only two who noticed that his nametag said "Silver." So, Tammy, being the brave, outgoing, and flirtatious person that she is, asked him about it. Apparently his name was actually Jeff, but because there were so many Jeffs there, he got to go by his last name, Silver. How cool of a last name is that? lol I think it's rather spiffin'. :) Oh yeah, and of course, I had to embarrase myself. lol You're all going to love this! Hahaha. So, Autumn and I decided to split some cheese sticks because they always give you more than you can eat on your own anyway, right? Well, I'm eating my second one when I take another bite and all the cheese comes out of the bread and is hanging from my mouth and guess who comes to check on the table! lmao I just kept laughing. Near the end of the meal Tammy and one of the other girls decided to write everyone's name and phone number on a napkin(some were real numbers and some were fake) to give to Silver! The dorks. lol They also asked if he had a girlfriend and he said yeah and then Jaims(that's what I call my youth pastor's wife; pronounced James) said that he was just lying and only said it because he knew one of us was going to ask. lmao So yeah, I feel bad for our poor waiter. lol He probably liked it though so it's no big deal. ;)
After dinner was, of course, theatre sports. I was so happy because my favorite guy who performs there was playing! Woo! Go Gabe! *cheer* lol His team won. :) Anyway, it was really funny, but for some reason it wasn't as cool as normal because like, there weren't a lot of really good suggestions. My suggestion was co-worker for a type of non-sexual relationship. lol Not the most original thing or anything, but no one else was raising their hand to say something so I had to at least help 'em out. lol But anyway, it was still a lot of fun and I can't wait to go back again! lol I LOVE that place!
After we got back, we ran by the store and got some bright red hair dye for me. :) The orange dye that I originally had after I bleached streaks was crap or something because it faded right away and now it's pretty much completely gone. Anyway, so Autumn put red on some of the "blonde" streaks so the top of my hair has the bright red shimmer and then underneath it is brown a blonde. lol It would look a lot cooler if my hair didn't frizz so much and I could make it go flat and straight. I should have bought that straightener... why'd I ever talk myself out of that? Oh yeah, gotta save my money to spend in Cali... darn. lol
Work was pretty good today. I stayed fairly busy, which is always nice. Photoshop 7 still hasn't come yet though! lol I think when I go in tomorrow I'm going to ask my boss if I can call and check up on it because he ordered a few copies almost a month ago and they still haven't come. I bet the lady hasn't even shipped them yet. Garg. *sigh* I'm rather bored right now. Guess I'll go. I should probably find something to eat pretty soon too. A few of those small chocolate covered doughnuts and some baby carrots and dip is not enough food for one day! lol Ta ta!
Sunday, July 7, 2002
*yawn* Autumn stayed over last night and we didn't go to sleep until something like 4:30 this morning. Not good. lol We were watching The Mask earlier and I kept falling asleep for like two minutes at a time and then waking up again. lol 'Twas fun. ;) Autumn's making fun of me now. How rude. Now she's smacking me with her brush for writing that. lmao Then she has the nerve to say that I'm so mean and she NEVER does anything to me... LIAR! We're getting bored because we still have to wait for almost two hours until we finally get to leave for theatre sports tonight. Blah, I wish we could go now. *sneezes* Darn hay fevers! Garg. Okay, I don't know what else to write. Perhaps we'll leave early and go buy me my red hair dye and Autumn can put some red streaks in my hair when we get back tonight 'cause you know, I don't really need to sleep before I go to work tomorrow right? ;) lol Sam, what's up girl? I haven't talked to you for a few days and it's like... weird. lol Anyway, I'm sure I'll be on AIM tomorrow night and we can chat. :) Okay, off I go now to attempt to find something for me and Autumn to do until it's time to leave. TTFN!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY EVERYONE!!!
I lucked out today. Instead of having to help with cleaning the garage, I got to paint the closet in the spare room! lol It's now a lovely shade of off-white blue. :) I actually kind of like painting walls for some strange reason so it was good. That and I got to listen to Smile.dk over and over again while I painted! lmao :D Good stuff. Egh, I think the headache from the fumes is catching up to me now though. Either that or I might actually be tired for some reason, and I'm pretty sure that can't be it. ;) Well, that's pretty much all I've really done today. lol TTFN!
Wednesday, July 3, 2002
Yesterday I was really hoping to see a lovely box reading "Adobe Photoshop 7" on it when I got to work, but sadly, no. My boss ordered them about a month ago, but the lady's taking freakin' forever to ship them! Garg. As long as she didn't completely forget and it comes somewhat soon, I'll be happy. But anyway, work was same old pretty much yesterday. At least I stayed busy pretty much the entire time so that was good. It's not exactly my idea of fun to enter contact information for around 100 companies, but someone had to and that lucky person was me. ;) lol Like I said though, at least it kept me busy. The other main thing I did was to get a portion of a big order ready for shipping and that kept me busy for a while as well.
Thus far today is lazy day. lol I did work on the new layout for streeted.net though so I have accomplished something. Of course, I've still got to code it all and then I get to do the fun part, the content. lmao So yeah, I didn't accomplish much in the grand scheme of things, but hey, it's something. I'm currently taking a break from that though. Gets tiring after a while if you're really not in the mood for coding, which I'm not right now. I'm more in the mood of playing with photoshop so I'll probably end up making some more new layouts n' things today. :)
Tomorrow's going to be... interesting, to put it lightly. Usually, I'm down in Cali right at this time of the year and I get to go to the huge 4th party at my cousins' house, but not this year. Bummer, eh? It's always such a fun party too and it used to be with pretty much the entire extended family every year, but then my family all decided to get mad at each other(well, the adults anyway) so it's not very likely that I'll ever get to see that kind of really huge party ever again. Anyway, so tomorrow, I could go and see the fireworks show in one of the somewhat near-by cities, but it's not that great and I just don't feel like going all the way out there for just that and then coming home really late at night. We can't do our own fireworks either(not like I would anyway, but you know). So I'm pretty much doing nothing in the evening unless by some miracle I get invited to do something, but that's doubtful. So, during the day, I get to help my parents clean the garage! Now, that's my idea of fun. *rolls her eyes* Oh, and that reminds me, my mom drove me by the property we're going to get(we think) 'cause I hadn't seen it at all yet and well, it looks like a dinky little weed-covered piece of land. lol Not too exciting to me. It's actually bigger than the plot of land we live on now, but you'd never know just by looking at it.
