Oooh... I made a happier Moulin Rouge layout for 4606.net today. :) Much better than the one I had put up late last night(or early this morning, however you prefer it to be worded). Please go look and sign the gbooky there. :) Oh, and I feel much better now than when I wrote up the previous post. lol
Damn, I hate the stupid jack@$$ people who work at the local Pizza Hut(where I used to work). How hard is it to remember to put olives on my damn pizza?! I told them I wanted pepperoni and olives and what's on it when my dad brings it home? Only the damn pepperoni. They freakin' repeated the order back to me and said olives and the remembered the olives on my mom's pizza, but no, not on mine. I am never ordering pizza from them again and I've got a good mind to complain to the people from my church who are high up on the job scale there. They ALWAYS screw up my freakin' pizza! I ask for pep., olives, and breakfast bacon and they put on canadian bacon or some other shit! Damn they piss me off and they don't deliver so if I want my pizza remade like it should be I have to drive all the way over there, show them they messed up, and then wait 15 freakin' minutes for them to made me a new one! GERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." - Moulin Rouge
I bought that movie today. :) It was funny because I watched it today for the third time(not the third time today, third time all together) and I was thinking about what one of my friends told me, that it was directed by the same person who did the modern version of Romeo and Juliet. Anyway, as I was thinking about that and watching the movie it suddenly occured to me just how similar they really are! The shots are the same style, the acting is the same style, everything's the same except the story, scenes, and actors! lol I found it to be quite interesting really. I love that movie though. I'm not exactly sure why that is, but I do. I really love when he goes to see her the first night and they're on top of the elephant and Ewan sings, "I was made for lovin' you baby, you were made for lovin' me!" lol Why I love that? The music is swingin' and he just looks so cute when he sings it! :p What a hottie. It's very official now, my latest "obession" is for Ewan. ;)
Oh yeah, and guess what else I got today! I'm pretty darn excited. I got a Sony CyberShot digital camera!!!!! Wooo!!!! The joy! I would have pictures of my kitties and stuff to show you all, but I'm waiting for the batteries to charge overnight so tomorrow I'm sure I will be taking many pictures. :) Douptful there will be any of me though. No one wants to see me. lol *yawns* I didn't get much sleep last night and it's already very late now so I think I should wrap all this up very quickly. G'night!
Tuesday, March 26, 2002
I lead a very boring life. It's really rather sad actually. Maybe it will change once I get my digital camera tomorrow(they'd had better be in stock) and start taking that around with me everywhere. You never know, that could do it. lmao Work was alright today. Pretty much all I did was enter stuff on a spread sheet for four hours, but that's just how it goes. I'm going to try and get a second job soon. My one job only gives me enough money for gas, really. I finally found out the last grade I'd been waiting for. I got an A- in cultural anthropology. :) That leaves me with an A, A-, B+, and B-. Pretty darn good I'd say. :) Humm... I think I'm going to go see what's on TV while I wait for my cats to decide that they want to come inside. G'night.

Ack! Ok, must type fast. MUST type fast! Why must I type fast? Well, I just realized that Robin Hood: Men In Tights just started 15 minutes ago and that movie is freakin' funny! Garg. Anyway, mostly just posting to tell everyone about the new layout over at streeted.net. It's purple. :) I'm still waiting to get the rest of my grades back. I think I have one left to get. Oh, I get to go and buy a digital camera on Wednesday!!! Oh so happy!!!! I've been wanting one for the longest time and Circuit City's got a really great deal on a Sony CyberShot right now. It's only I think 1.3 MegePixels, but I don't particularly care about all that stuff. I just need it for snapping shots of my kitties and my guitar n' such. Anyway, gotta go and watch the movie now. TTFN!
Saturday, March 23, 2002
Well, yesterday night I didn't crawl into my bed until 5 am. See, I was trying to watch all of the Jaws movies. Unfortunately, I fell asleep probably about half way through the third one. Sadness. Oh well, I'm sure it will be on in the very early morning sometime again soon and perhaps I'll be up for it. It's now running close to 3:30 am on Sat. and I'm still awake. Trying for another late night. I'm not sure how easily I'm going to be able to get up for church on Sunday. I've gotta go too because it'll be our first Sunday in our newly built building and it's exciting! I gotta be there the first Sunday. :) Anyway, I went to Ani's, uhh... yesterday I guess it is now, and we watched Moulin Rouge and The Fast And The Furious. Both were very good and I think I need to add them to my movies to buy list. :) Yeah, I guess that's it for now. I'm currently attempting to decide if I should go to bed or go and find a movie to watch. Either way, g'night.
Thursday, March 21, 2002
Wow, I hadn't realized it'd been so long since I last posted. Thankfully, finals are all over now and I've got a whole bunch of time off. The only thing to worry about now is what to do with all of this extra time that I'm left with? I'm still waiting for my anthropology and fiction grades, but my other two are posted now so I know what I got in those. :) I got a B+ in health which is great because I wasn't sure if I'd pull a C because I'd missed too many days, but apparently I did really good on everything else so that kept it up. :) And I got my A in archery instead of just the pass. :) I'm sure it's because I improved and it also helped that I never missed a day of that class and I was always on time. ;)
Aki spent the night last night. We made chocolate carmel bars and hamburder noodle bake yesterday... oh yumm... SOOO good! Apparently she got in trouble when I dropped her off back at home earlier though because she was supposed to call her parents yesterday after she got to my house and she never did. Oops. lol Anyway, hopefully she didn't make out too bad with that or anything. Oh, and we tried out this learn to dance video that my mom got from the library and it was the most hilarious thing! It was obviously made in the late 80s/early 90s and it's all street dancing(which I love), but it's just so funny because nobody really talks like that anymore. I mean, there's not a lot of people who go around saying, "Yo what up?" lmao It was much fun though and now I keep saying that 'cause it made me laugh so hard. The only bummer about it though was that the lady goes WAY too fast so I think I got a total of two moves out of the whole thing and that was it. Oh well, they're fun at least and I got the whole "Yo what up?" term stuck into my brain as well and now I feel special. ;)
Selling domains is confusing. If anyone's ever done it before and wants to give me some pointers, please, e-mail me and let me know. I mean, I can figure out the transfer and all, but there has to be some less complicated way or something. lol Anyway, I'm gonna jet now and try and work on some of my sites that are in desprate need of updating and layout changes n' such. TTFN!

I've got some DOMAINS FOR SALE. Please go and have a look at them and let me know if you're interested. Thanks. :)
Thursday, March 14, 2002
Ok, so it's really late and I meant to post this earlier, but hey, at least I'm posting something now! I was gonna say a bunch more things, but now all I can remember is the following.
Today was the last day of archery because we're not having a final next week and it's only a Tuesday/Thursday class. Anyway, I was determined to do very good today and guess what! I actually did!!!!! My highest round score(6 shots) was 44 and today I got a 49 and a few 45s. :) Then, my highest set score(5 rounds) was 180 and my goal was to get 200 and today I got 206!!!! Boo yeah!! Go me!!! I was so proud of myself. :) Hopefully that will get me an 'A' in the class instead of just a pass since I improved by the last day. ;) I'll let you know when I find out what my grade is. :)
I went with my parents to my step-bro's house for dinner tonight. We had pizza and I am so incredably sick of pizza. I had pizza on Monday, pizza on Wednesday, and pizza for lunch when I got home today!! I'm all freakin' pizza'd out! lmao
Humm... I'm sure I had some other things to say, but I really can't remember what they are just now. Arg, I know. Anyway, I should really wrap up all my net stuff and get to bed since I have to be to school early tomorrow so that I can hopefully salvage my fiction grade by getting one last cretique turned in since I didn't turn it in yesterday 'cause I didn't feel like going to the class. lmao Anyway, TTFN!
Monday, March 11, 2002
Today was good, then boring, then blah, and then slightly aggrivating. We got to watch a short video of England in the Middle Ages in anthro. so that was cool. :) After that I went and found Aki and we went to Pizza Hut again(I owe her half of a medium cheese pizza now lol) and that was fun except that we had to wait a freakin' long time for our pizza to finally come. Anyway, by the time we were done eating, there wasn't a whole lot of time left until my class started so we just wandered around for a while until it was time for me to go in. I'm EXTREMELY bored with my fiction class. It's entirely stupid to me now as well. I'm glad that this is the last week before finals because it means I don't have to put up with my stupid classes(minus archery 'cause that one's fun) any longer, but it sucks because now I've got to polish up all of my stuff for my classes and finish up with homework and things like that. Anyway, coming home I was alright and then I got inside and saw my bank statement on my placemat. I picked it up and took it to my room and then opened it and guess what! There was another unknown charge on it!!! Not from the same place, but just as obscure. So, I called and reported it and they filed a dispute on it for me and all that good fun junk just like last time. Now I'm very sure that it was a good idea to have my card number canceled since a second one appeared. It's actually my third one because I had one back in like July of last year, but I didn't bother to report it because I didn't want to call and talk to someone and all that and my mom wouldn't do it for me. Anyway, it SHOULDN'T happen again since I'm getting a new card. I just wish I knew how they got my card number. I've got an idea of one hosting company that might have been responsible for it, but of course there's no way I can be sure. I dumped that hosting company a LONG time ago because they just sucked. Anway, I'm going to go find something to do for a while before I eventually have to do my homework(blah!). TTFN!
Ok, after spending about two hours resizing, touching up, fixing, slicing, and coding, I have fixed this layout and I'm now happy with it!!! :D I just couldn't stand having it up here the way that it was so now it's all happy and fixed. :) It fits MY screen, the thing I was hoping no one else would notice is fixed and you can read this text a whole lot better than before! :) Ok, so I'm thouroughly happy, my tooth hurts, I need to get my kitties inside, and then I'm going to bed. So, goodnight and please let me know what you think of this layout in the guestbook. :)
Sunday, March 10, 2002
Ok, I'm starting to dislike this new layout more and more and I just put it up a little while ago! It's aggrivating me because I've spent the last hour or two trying to get the table filter to work the way I wanted it to and I wouldn't so I just decided that it can go screw itself! GRRRR! First, I relized that after I finished the layout and sliced the images and all that stuff, that I freakin' made the height too big to fit right in my browser! Arg. *pouts* Then I realized something else I did wrong which I will not mention in hopes that no one else will notice it. I'm just not happy with this layout. It was so great until I realized that I'd screwed up everything. :( Perhaps I'll try and fix it all sometime this week, but I'm not sure if I'll have the tollerance to do it. Anyway, I'm going to go and eat because I've spent the entire day on this freakin' layout and all I've eaten thus far was some mac n' cheese this morning before church. And now, I shall leave you with one final word... GARRRR!
Saturday, March 9, 2002
I've changed my e-mail addy for this domain. Check out the contact page(linked to the right under 'domain') to see what it is. :) Also, I'm probably going to start the new layout tonight so it'll either be up tonight or tomorrow, if all goes well anyway. That's it for now. TTFN!
Friday, March 8, 2002
Capus is closed for today!!!!! :D I don't have to go to school!!!!! YAY! LoL Ah, all is good today except that I just registered for my new classes and all three of the photo 1 classes are already full. *sniffles* That's the only damper to my day thus far. It's sad. So I'm taking Acting: Movement, History of Civilization: Contemperary World, and Fundamentals of Music. They should all be good classes and hopefully I won't get too much homework out of them. :)
Well, I finally got Jill goes Underground to work for me last night and I beat that game in about an hour as well. For some reason every copy I've tried(that I could find) of Jill Saves the Prince won't work. :( Perhaps I'll try again today. :)
Well, I just woke up a little while ago so I think I'm going to go make myself some soup or something for breakfast. :) Ahh... this is so nice... my frist snow day in the last three years almost.

Tuesday: In archery we got to blow up balloons, tape them to the target and then shoot at them. :) It was much fun! I shot a few, but I would have shot more if Nikki hadn't shot them all first!!! Garg. I was arngry with her. lol
Work was alright. I didn't really do too much and it's not like a fun job or anything. I'll give it a bit, but I doupt I'll be there long. My mom told me yesterday that our boss(yeah, my mom works there) kinda did it as a favor to her because she's the on who originally asked about it. So yeah, I feel pretty stupid about that. I mean, I don't understand why he would hire me when he'd rather have someone else or doesn't even really need me at all. Whatever.
I didn't go to dance because I had way too much homework. It sucked. I don't know when I'm going to be able to go again. I think I'm going to have to take a while off and stuff.
Wednesday: Aki didn't visit me during my two hour break between classes. She decided to go and visit everyone at the high school instead. Humm... what else happened? Oh yeah, I took a health test. That didn't go over so well. That's pretty much it besides being bored out of my mind for half the night and I went and worked on the Power Point presentation for health class with Julia, but she kinda kicked me out of her house. Not like I did anything wrong, I think she wanted to hang out with her real friend more than me which was stupid because we weren't finished with the presentation yet and she had to do the rest of it by herself, but whatever!
Today: I lived through the health presentation. I almost didn't even make it to school for that class though because my engine over-heated again. It was a good thing that my mom and I left at the same time and were going the same way so she followed me off the freeway, we parked the car and then she just drove me to school. Anyway, I did very well standing up in front of my whole class today. I'm sure I was fairly red the whole time, but at least I didn't shake as much as I usually do and half way through that stopped all together and I spoke at a normal pace so people could actually understand me. It was great! lmao
Archery was pretty good today. I topped my highest score for the five rounds that we usually shoot today. :) It was 178 and today I got 180! lmao I'm progressing! (Not by much, but hey, it's something!) My arms hurt pretty bad while I was shooting though and so did my fingers and I don't know why. It made me sad. :(
Well, after I got home I had the sudden urge to play a game that I used to have called Jill of the Jungle. Well, we don't have the disk for it anymore(arg) so I decided to look on the net and I found it!!!!! :D YAY! I downloaded it and beat the entire game in less than an hour. lmao It's not very hard, that's why, but at least it's a lot of fun. So anyway, I found the segual to it, plus the third one too and I'm about to get started on those. :) I also downloaded Crystal Caves, and old version of Sim City, and Shooting Gallery. :) All fun games I used to have. Anyway, I found all of them except for Shooting Gallery(it's on the site, but it wouldn't download) at this site. It's all in some language I don't know, but at least the titles are in English. ;) Anyway, I reccomend Jill of the Jungle, it kicks butt!!!! Ok, gotta jet. TTFN!

Humm... last night I tried to figure out some TAB of "Shape of My Heart," but it didn't work to well for me. The songs slow enough that I think it would be good for me to play, but I couldn't make since of the TAB file that I found for it... maybe I'll go looking for a different one in a little while as I feel the desire to play my guitar for a bit.
I forget if I mentioned or not about my engine overheating on Friday, so yeah, it did. My radiator was pretty much completely empty which is really bad. Well, this morning, I checked the level of water in my radiator before I left for school and I could see some so I thought it would be ok and I left. Well, I was wrong. It overheated again and I had to pull over and call my dad to rescue me. The bad news is that I missed my first class which is the one that I really couldn't miss any more days in, but the good news is that my dad seems to have fixed it because it was fine when I drove the rest of the way to school and then it was fine the entire way home too. :)
I got my anthropology test back today. I thought I was going to do really bad on it and I ened up getting an A- which is the same grade I got on the first test. :) Yay for me, I've got an A- in the class. :)
I went to Pizza Hut with my friend Autumn today during my 2 hour break between anthro and fiction. Her last class is over at the same time my antro one's over and on Mondays and Wednesdays she stays late and hangs with me so I don't get bored out of my mind. Anyway, we went to have lunch and it was much fun. :) We got back with plenty of time left over and we ended up getting deep into a good conversation and then it was time for me to go to class so that sucked. She's also not staying to hang with me on Wednesday either. :( She's going to visit other people and leave me all alone with my stupid school work. Arg to her! lol
I'm afraid I'm not going to get a very good final score in my fiction class(and in my health class too, but that's another story) because I can't think of anything to write about and I have to turn in something on Wednesday. I'm so screwed. I've been trying to think of something good to write, but nothing's coming to me and I'm beginning to stress a bit again. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to end up with a headache tonight or tomorrow because of it. I'm also not doing to well on my cretiques for that class and the story we got to cretique today isn't helping that. I really didn't understand much of it and that makes it a little hard to write up formal comments on the story, you know?
Well, the phone is finally free so I'm going to see if anyone wants to waste some time and talk to me for a while. TTFN!
Sunday, March 3, 2002
Well, yay for me... I just got to file a despute in reguards to an unknown charge off my debit card. The good news was that it was surprisingly easier than I thought it would be and the bad news is that I have to get a new debit card so that my account will be "safe" once more. Whatever. At least that's not so bad since I don't have any money to spend anyway so it doesn't really matter that I have to wait up to two weeks to get my new one! lmao Humm... as of a recent update, I love Google and I fount the website of the company I got the charge from. We didn't know what the heck it was or where it was from and the reason is because it's in France! lol Oy... this stuff is extreamely stupid, you know? Anyway, they should find that it was not something I charged because, well, I'm pretty darn sure it wasn't and I think I would have remembered the name of this company since it's so incredably odd to me. It's one of those online banking sites that companies use on their sites so they can accept credit cards, but there's nothing that I remember buying from any company using them and for the price listed. Gar. Anyway, hopefully it will work out ok. I mean, it's not a huge charge or anything, but it's my money and no one else should be taking it! I earned it dangit! Well, actually, I think that particular portion was from Christmas money, but you know. Heh... Ok, nuff o' dat.
Well, I need to work on my homework now. I don't particularly want to, but there's really nothing I can do about it because it really needs to get done. Especially considering I'm a little behind in both the classes that actually give me homework. Oh, and as a last note... below are the three classes I'm hoping to take this next quarter and their course descriptions.
Acting: Movement
Concentrates on tuning the actor's body. Students gain fluidity, flexibility, and agility and develop specific skills such as stage fights and mime. Students practice dramatic situations incorporating both character work and strenuous physical activity.
History of Civilization: Contemporary World
Surveys the history of Europe since the Enlightenment. Topics include the Industrial Revolution, modern ideologies, imperialism, the origins and impact of the World Wars, the rise of new nations, the Cold War, and the emergence of new global identities, relationships, conflicts, and crises.
Basic Photo I
Introduces basic camera handling, developing, printing, and composition with black-and-white film.
Now, that all depends on what's already taken by the time I'm allowed to register and all that fun stuff. The only thing I'm somewhat worried about is the "strenuous phystical activity" mentioned in the acting class. I really hope it's only faking it and not real. ;p lmao But yeah, that's what I'm banking on. I've got some alternate choices though in case those classes aren't available. The good news if I get all those though will be that I'll only have three more required classes after Spring quarter and that's one more history course(it has to be US history... blah) and then two more language arts courses of my choice(the acting: movement class counts for L.A. credit... imagin that). :) Ok, gotta jet and do the painful duties of my homework. TTFN!
Friday, March 1, 2002
Well, I took my anth. test today. I'm not totally sure how I did. I'm pretty sure I bombed two of the questions. I was just going to leave them blank, but I though, "Heck, maybe I can BS them and they'll be right!" So that's exactly what I did. lmao I'll find out on Monday how bad I did. I'm hoping the rest of the class had some of the same problems with it that I did because then I might get a higher grade because he does a curve.
I got to go and see The Count of Monte Cristo tonight so that makes me happy. :) After all of my stress this week and last it's a treat for me. I heard that it was a pretty good movie and it's my kind of suspense thing, it seems, from the previews. :D
Humm... I started collecting pics for the new layout today. It's going to be huge. lol It's a LOTR layout. :) lol I can't help it. That movie is just so freakin' cool! It deserves to have a whole ton of layouts made out of it. Or so I think anyway. Hopefully it will turn out as nice as it looks in my mind. Things like that are always nice.
I finally coded up Ani's new layout for her. She actually made the graphic this time! :) I still did the coding for her, but she's starting to learn HTML so she'll be able to do it all on herself soon.
Ok, I really don't have anything interesting to blog so I'll just stop now. Off I go to the movies in a little while anyway. ;)
