HEAL PLX!!!

I'm bored, and hungry....and I really need to clean up my room...and throw a bunch of old papers away...and clean out the underside of my bed...and make room for my christmas presents o_o

Hmm christmas...let see if i can remember what I got...

Mike bought me the stuff I wanted at bath and body works, of course with me there so i could pick it out :p this included the softest robe EVAR! and of course we used my discount...then i screwed them the next day by quitting :o

my brother got me a $10 gift card for walmart....oh well, at least my present to him was just as lame :p i'm surprised he got me anything to be honest...i was expecting him to give me another coupon that expired the day he gave it to me like on my birthday...

my parents got me uhhh o_o...let's see...tenchi movie...the second one... the longest yard, sin city, and garden state...animal crossing DS...some brown pants and a shirt to go with...a dvd burner, a new wireless optical mouse...card captor sakura mangas 1 & 2, kare kano 1, chobits 8, xxxHolic 1 (IT'S NOT A PORNO I SWEAR! >.<) and ummm...a cute little monkey candle holder...erm not sure if there was anything else...oh! a smoothie maker for mike and i to use at his house...of course that was a present to both of us....

mike got some stuff too. i got him the madagascar penguins game...a green shirt that has mario on it and says "everybody loves an italian boy" which i have been looking for since his birthday in august (he's italian :p)...and what he called the sweetest gift ever...a book i made through an online publishing company containing most of his poems since we've been together. <3 i was working on it since before his birthday, and it turned out really nice. oh and of course sex.

not really...i'm just kidding!! made you look! :D

my mom made him a really nice fleece blanket with frogs on it..i helped make it a little too. it's nice and warm :D and a waffle maker, because he loves waffles! and a nice fleece pullover jacket thingy. oh geez i dont remember what else they got him...but i'm glad he was able to spend christmas with us again...and that my parents really like him... we're only 4 months short of 2 years together <3 but who needs to count?

and even my brother was oddly pleasant that day...maybe because he turned 21 the same day and got to start drinking...legally. ALCOHOLIC! :o

hmm seems i like to talk about mike mor than myself. so i'll continue ;p the other day he got a 3 month old futon in perfect condition from someone at work for $40. not only that...but he threw in a really nice suede futon chair for free! so now he has furniture for his living room...which was basically empty besides his tv stuff. WE SHALL MAKE IT A BACHELOR PAD YET! ;D whew. just glad i'm allowed to be over there even now that he lives alone. i enjoy playing wifey :p

i need a job >.> hopefully the exchange will call me soon :D i would love to work there. and i think i have a good change of getting the job. i'm 2 for 2 so far on getting jobs i interview for!

/me yawns.

now i think it's time to go read like i was gonna do an hour ago...then play a little animal crossing...then sleep...then wake up all groggy eyed to my love walking in my bedroom door. and then falling back asleep :D

orthodontist appointment tomorrow...i think i'm FINALLY close to getting these damn things off...3.5 years o_o damn you rubber bands!

I dont care if you don't play ragnarok. My website layout owns. <3

THE SNOW! LOOK AT THE SNOW!

And if nothing else, please take a minute out of your days and vote for us when you can:

It helps us move up on the list and get more players, which we really want!

I really need to remake my personal site....

I love having no friends. This livejournal means nothing <3 :D

No, seriously...not even being the emo retard i used to be. I really like the fact that I have no friends...because I'm selfish and poor...and I only had to buy presents for my parents and Mike <3<3 Plus there's nothing fun to do in this town that is free, so what would I do with friends anyway.

So yeah. People should play ragnarok. Because it's cute. Like this:



And has nice maps that I like to edit like this:


OMG SNOW?! WTF?!

And it's got quests. And you kill things. And it's an MMORPG...and its more fun than WoW. And because I play. What more evidence do you need that it's a great game?!

Plus...we need a bigger community. so play damnit. And like it!

Yeah. I don't know if I posted already about this. New jorb. Yes'm, I did say jorb.

I got hired at Bath & Body Works (p.s. do not EVER go to BBW.com). It will be a nice change. I wont be smelling like fried food and beef all the time...instead I can smell like a plethora of different satisfying scents. Ah it shall be heaven. 30% off for me during the holiday season. Then if I get kept after the season's over it goes back to 20%, then back to 30% after a while. Confusing. And yes, I took a seasonal job over a nice solid job I'd had for 2 years. Deal with it parents....

Anyway. It's going to be hard for me. I'll be making money...and probably putting a lot of it right back in to the company. I LOVE b&bw stuff. And now that I'm gaining more knowledge of the products...I'll know what I want to buy. Ack!

But yeah, for now I'm working stock room, which is where I wanted to be trained. It'll be another nice change from dealing with customers all the time. Just gotta hope I get the hang of whatever I end up doing normally there, so I can be a valuable employee and be kept after the new year.

So now, it's time to get rid of all the shampoos and lotions and stuff I have, and start buying at b&bw...because now i'll be able to afford it :p

I'm excited about this.

College is very fun btw. Some slackers I know should try it.
Time for bed. So I can get up early and shave and stuff (ooo TMI!) And then go work on my websites in 1st class, and fall asleep in composition...not really, I haven't fallen asleep in class once yet...surprising considering how much I did in high school. You know, like...every day.

What is wrong with kids these days? With America.

Now you see this long post and think that's my subject and I'm gonna back on kids and america :p Heck no, I'm way too tired.

The Bloodhound Gang's new album's commercial is....very interesting. o_o

I'm starting to get somewhere on my online portfolio. Working on it like every day in Dreamweaver class. Hooray. My main challenge will be writing my biography thingy. I hate writing...and writing about my life...where I came from, why I do art...all that stuff...it'll be hard. I'll manage. Bah need to make thumbnails for some 50+ photos. So yeah, this'll be a bit different than my website I had in the past....not really built for my friends to learn more about me or for me to communicate with them. And it's not a website where I'll be posting picture of my friends from parties and stuff...but more artistic photography and art. So something more professional.

If you're interested it's highly under construction...working on the digital art section. Slowly getting things in order (I have a lot of stuff o_o) http://risu.is-a-geek.com

School is great. I wish dreamweaver was longer than 50 minutes. English is much easier than I expected...and I think it will be just the right amount of work for me that it wont be too much. Piano...well I am ahead. So that's good :D. And dancing is fun. It's unfortunate that I'm so tired by the time it's time for class. Salsa is fun :D And one of my old gymnastics coaches is in the class. And I think I'm gonna cry when I say this...but guess who was in the room this week -_- Rainier. I see him too much...I wanna puke. So I'm hoping he's not joining the class and was just...there. Oh well, I've got my hubby :p

Work is okay. They had stuck me on prep a couple times (which starts at 6:45am, and basically you set up everything...which is stressful on a time limit). But luckily, they're not gonna have the chance to do that again. I'm quitting...FINALLY! I had an interview a couple seeks ago for Bath and Body Works. They called 3 days ago asking if I was still interested and my final reply was yes. I have orientation in about a week. Hopefully they will set up Mike's interview there sometime too -_-. Sooo, I'll be working there at least for the winter. It's a seasonal job...but at the end I'll be re-evaluated to see if they wanna keep me.

Anyway, speaking of Mike...he's living alone right now because his parents moved/are moving back east. His mom comes back Sunday to settle some things...and to start moving their stuff out of the house...she'll be here for a bit. but his dad's gone for a while. So...we're trying to get him set up at home and hopefully get a room mate. Unfortunately...even though I think it would be good since I have a job and stuff...I cannot be his room mate. My parents said that If I move out, they will not pay for college or anything. ...WTF? As I said to other people...I can either live at home, use their electricity, water, eat their food...blah blah blah...and have them helping me with college and books and stuff. having them spend all their money on me....OR i can move out...and they will support me in no way. You'd think that they'd be more than happy to support my college funds since i would not be taking the rest of their money....and me not being here would lower their bills...but no. Damn parents who are afraid to lose their children...it's not like I'm going to move in to his house and get pregnant...I like to think I'm smart when it comes to most life choices. Nothing has failed me so far in the long run.

Anyway...I just can't stand to live in this house anymore...especially with my brother living here again. Stinky...doesn't clean things' he's supposed to...sleeps all day....is a jerk. And my parents try to get me to be nice to him. Why the hell should I? He yells at them...he's draining their money. My mom had to go back to working because her savings was so low because of him. And he doesn't have a real job. he is a paper boy for the Sun. That's a job for a 16 year old kid who wants extra cash...not a 20 year old who needs to pay for...you know...LIFE and get out of his parents house once and for all. He's going to be an alcoholic once he's 21. He smokes cigars. He gets $100 from old friends of the family that he never got from his graduation (i got $100 too :D). What did he do that same day? He went to toys r us to buy some transformers...and came up with some excuse that "made him look money smart". Like he bought a transformer the day before...and he goes back and sees they have a buy 2 get one free...so he bought two and got the same one from the day before free. Now he's going to return that unopened one with that receipt and get the money for it. I dunno, kinda sounds like a scam to me. Oh well. Things aren't getting any better in the household area. I try to stay out of the house or in my room at all times.

I'm going to bed. work at 11:45 tomorrow. Not too early, hooray.

Okay so this was actually yesterday, but I wasnt actually up to posting. way too tired. still am but meh i'm awake for now...damn rain.

i worked in the morning til 3:30...which wasn't BAD but i was tired and my back was really hurting. regardless i lifted a lot of stuff. but yeah. and one girl at work drived me nuts. i was doing part of her job all day but she said she had been. but the managers knew i was (since i complained) so that's good. yeah. whatever. i have a job and i guess that's what matters. and i suppose i'll stick with it a while longer. the people are nice....my pay is at least higher than minimum...and they are willing to work around other schedules. and plus...maybe if i stick with it a while longer they'll give me a better raise.....since i've been working there longer than almost anyone else...besides one person i believe. now we have all new people. i'd feel kind of bad for leaving them in that situation. and i might have to start closing cause of college (which tends to mean a bit more money anyway) and now that they know i'm 18 i night start working in the back (not excited about that...but it might be good for a change). anyway yeah.

i came home and showered. then mike picked my parents and i up, and we met his parents at red robin. oh man dinner was yummy. i had a teriyaki chicken burger...haven't had one in a long time. it's like a party in the mouth. god. so yeah. we sat and ate and talked. it was good. then they sang mike happy birthday and gave him his little sundae :p and off we were to bowling. his parents didn't bowl, in fact they left in the middle of the last game cause his mom got a call. but it was fun. first game i got 77, then 120, then 149. i started out the last game with 3 strikes ^.^ i was like woot!

then we came home and mike and i cuddled and fell asleep. and i mean ASLEEP...we were like out cold haha. and around 11 my dad comes in and apparently kissed me goodnight without me noticing...and mike freaked out and woke up...then i woke up...and my dad scared me just standing there haha. i was like OH MY GOD! haha. but yeah.

i'm glad michael had a good birthday :D i was hoping he would. and i'm glad i was part of it. i love him so much.

and happy birthday to everyone else that had them on the 28th! stefanie i know is one....but everyone else too!

---------------------------------------

today i gotta go to the college to see what books i need....and so mike can pay for his classes. then we gotta go get him a drug test so he can work...and then i need to pick up my pictures from the fair....yeah...those ones that were crapily judged.

wow iy's crazy when the rain wakes you up. and in the middle of summer o_o hooray for it dying down.

:: how nintendo are you? ::

stole it from alan. cause i'm hardcore.

oh yeah the judges at the fair suck. i entered this picture (it's supposed to be a phoenix type thing):
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/20955671/
and the blue butterfly one in a pervious post. i entered in to the computer generated art section.

guess what got more points than my work that actually TOOK TIME AND THOUGHT. a girl...who took a picture of the eye region on her face...i'm assuming with a webcam (it's that kind of quality). she put the picture 3 times next to eachother and made each one a different tint. and printed it on normal paper. this is computer generated art? i think not. also. a kid who took a picture of his converse shoe next to a banana, and likely put a few photoshop filters on it and turned the yellow up.

i do however agree with the one they voted best in that section...but that's because it was real CGA. and it was pretty. i believe it was a fractal...but maybe not. anyway. my stuff got 3rd place to those shitty pictures that should have been in creative photography anyway. they also mixed the youth and adult sections. i think the judges were on crack. they dont know art when they see it. all the good pictures (by other people too) were rated low.

if you look around the art/photos section...you will see about a million pictures of converse shoes...that got higher placing ribbons than REAL artistic shots. and a million pictures of domestic cats...that got higher rating than the picture i took of a mother monkey and her baby, that everyone i know said looked like a national geographic shot. oh yeah...and a picture of tigers in a zoo from like 100 feet away....it was a horrible picture. wtf. and a picture of a peacock...that you could see the pixels in from literally 5 feet away. i was like...o_o what a horrible quality picture.

by my lighthouse shot got a blue ribbon....which i think was the words of my 4 entries....it's just because it was framed by a tree....the other three got white....wtf -_-

whatever. i'll show them. i'll learn 3d art...make a pretty spacescape...and pwn them all in the ass. that's right. you heard me.

also...studded leather belts for $5 at the fair....wow o_o hot topic is how much for the same kinda belt? $30+? i mean it may be a bit less quality wise...but come on...$5? and it's still real leather.

yeah bed time.

gotta love ignorant people :p

anywho. the other day april came to arby's. i felt bad because i couldn't really stop and talk to her...i was working fries :( but yeah...i was surprised to see her o_o kinda forgot she was coming up...i'm rarely on lj anymore.

so like, i'm really getting in to this artsy crap. i've posted 43 pictures in a month. 2 of them are going in to the fair. hopefully they can win something :p one's called the phoenix...and it's printed on METALLIC PAPER! that's right. it looks fricken awesome. :) /me gets excited.

anywho, college is coming up....i still need to pay!! i have like...12 days left to pay...o_o. i'll get it done. just gotta go to the bank. and soon. maybe tomorrow.

life with michael is great. of course. no news there :p

ragnarok has become pretty fun again. i've become increasingly active in the customization area of it all...

other than that though...things are kinda blah. especially since my brother is living here again....but whatever...t's just family problems. and work wouldn't suck so bad if i didn't come home greasy every day...and/or hurting in the back and legs. whatever though. dont really care :p i can get something better once school starts...cause people will be going to high scool and wont wanna work. shmegh.


weeeeeee *floats off to eat bagels*

i'm 18. and my birthday...well, let's just say it wasn't spectacular....at all. miho (exchange student from japan) came around 6:30pm....so i ws cleaning my room and the house all day before that...gay...but i suppose my fault for putting it off. we went to olive garden. good food. turned out to be miho's birthday too. she doesn't really speak much english so it's weird. uh yeah...cake. and presents....i got blade trinity dvd...kirby for ds...uhhh....a new dvd stand that was too hard to put together (my dad finally got it)...and an intalian charm bracelet with charms from my life on it. not to say i dont appreciate my presents....just seems i get less each year...i suppose it's because i'm getting older. oh and maybe also because my stupid brother has sucked up my parents savings by being a jobless lazy ass.

on friday i almost passed out at work. i couldn't see and i was having a hard time breathing...felt like i would puke. eyes were dialated....blah blah...lovely right? yeah. so i came houe about 2.5 hours early. hooray for money.

already explained saturday....sunday we went up to mt. rainier. kinda fun...but i was so tires. was just glad russell didn't go. so mike, miho, and i slept a lot and mike played my kirby game a lot (in the car anyway). it was way too hot to be out that day.

today i went to seattle with miho....and the rest of the scouts and their homestay families. unfortunately mike couldn't go because of a stupid conflict that i'm pissed about but whatever. screw them :p anyway...bought some stuff...and saw a few people i could have done without. sushi for lunch. it wasn't TOO bad. we came home on the 4:20 ferry....which was weird cause only 3 of us whiteys went home on the early ferry :p the rest were japanese :p i felt out of place...haha. then tacos for dinner....bad news...cuddles....video games...pretty good night all things considered.

tomorrow we go in to silverdale for shopping and stuff. and bowling. hopefully fatty isn't invited, or i'm rebelling.

by the way i'd write more about miho...but i'm really tired....i've been up the past 3 days doing stuff. but she's really nice. she loves animals...and so far has liked all the food we've fed her. i feel like i'm talking about a little kid or a pet or something...that is horrible :p. she is only 14 but still.....

at least i can sleep in tomorrow.

Here are a couple fractals I made. 'eff'-LJcuts!


"Fluttering Ribbons" - July 21, 2005


"Night Fly" - July 21, 2005

Made in UltraFractal3. Can't believe I learned all this 'ess' in 2 days >.> I really like making butterflies...but there is a lot more you can do with fractals :p

I think I will blow these up and enter them in the fair...

oh god i'm tired.

/me goes to fall asleep playing pokemon. ON MY BLUE DS SUKKA. it was worth every penny.

i like sitting in hot tubs on cool summer nights...watching fireworks out over the lake in the dark...with the one you love. ah, so peaceful, even though the water was so darn hot.

what a lovely day. even with the constant headache in the back seat.

*peck...peck...peck* goes michael. oh my <3 that was adorable.

time for me to get some sleep...and dream a reenacment of the day...without work...and without land whales.
