    This layout was made totally by me, but I obviously didn't draw the picture. That'd probably be Yazawa Ai, creator of NANA. Featured in this layout is none other than Osaki Nana herself. The image can be found in the NANA 1st Illustrations art book. The layout was made in Adobe Photoshop 7.0. The font is just Impact, which came with my computer. :P And, of course, this blog is powered by the omnipotent WordPress. <3 It is strongly recommended that you view this page in the latest version of FireFox. I use PNG-24 format, so if the image transparency looks all messed up, it's your own fault.
    wallet & no sleep & mail & fanlistings
    Wed 31 Mar 2004 @ 5:36:49 pm
    Posted in: Blog

    makes me angry: i think i lost my wallet. i haven't been able to find it all day. i had it yesterday at subway and the post office, and i don't know where i could have possibly put it. i'm worried it was stolen. there's so much stuff in there. my visa card, my licence (i just got a brand new one that costs so much ;_;), my bank card (also just got a brand new one of those), my health care card…everything. and most of that stuff i just got brand new this month, so that makes it even worse. the closest thing i had to cash in there was a coupon for a free sub at subway and a coupon for a free movie ticket at cineplex. i had to eat eight subs for the subway coupon and i had to send away for the free movie ticket coupon. i feel so robbed…really, i do. x_x

    makes me tired: the fact that i've slept, like, four hours total in the past two nights combined. and, of course, i had to work today and yesterday. only on work days. i was so tired this morning i was about to drop dead, i swear. oh, well, my fault.

    makes me somewhat content: joining about ten more fanlistings. to me, fanlistings are my drug of choice. when i feel like crap, i join more. but i can't stop joining, but i never feel like crap for joining. so it's not a vicious cycle. :P

    makes me impatient: receiving nothing in the mail when you're expecting stuff at any time.

    makes me a hypocrite: i got my anza cds in the mail yesterday. her solo single (from right after she left seramyu, i believe), her cardcaptor sakura single (which is the cutest thing i have ever seen!! it's a very tiny cd!!), and two head phones president singles. not that i'm the biggest fan of hpp, though, but it's anza…even if she's painfully screaming heavy metal punkish-style 90% of the time. i really didn't know so many hpp songs were in english engrish, though. there's three songs on each single, and there's one that has some japanese in it on each. the rest is engrish (so four totally engrish songs). although, i do have a couple favourite hpp songs, both of which are on these singles.

    aliens in alberta

    i got up so early for going to be so late @_@! i went to bed at, like, 5:00am, and i woke up at 11:45am. @_@;;; burg called, so i had to get up and talk to her. i don't mind waking up early to talk to friends, really. and it's a good thing, though, because i have to go to work tomorrow (i think…i'm going down to check the schedule today), and i actually want to get to sleep tonight.

    in the news, canadian prime minister paul martin has an experience involving a ufo here in southern alberta:

    so long b2!
    Mon 29 Mar 2004 @ 4:31:02 am
    Posted in: Blog

    i randomly made the upgrade to wordpress. "wordpress?" you ask? it's like b2, but better. :D not that i hated b2, but wordpress looks so much more fun. protected posts, draft saving, comment disabling, multiple categories per post, and more. *_* it took hours to upgrade, but i finally figured it out. the instructions both in the readme file and on the support forums are not helpful at all, in my opinion, when trying to upgrade from b2. x_x; so it took foreverrrrrr, but i figured it out. if you want to switch over to wordpress, i'd be glad to help you. it's actually very easy (now that i know how to do it). @_@

    and, of course, if it wasn't for kita mentioning wordpress to me i would have never even known it existed. now, let's see if we can't get her blog running on it. >_>;

    i'll try out a password protected post when i figure out how i'm going to work those. that kind of renders my livejournal useless, too. @_@

    oh, and new layout! in celebration of the change to wordpress. i swear, pink is not my favourite color. x_x far from it. but…jubei-chan and pink seem to go together. the lovely eyepatch is pink. :( and it's a heart, so that's why i picked a heart motif.

    and some of the php codes from b2 do slightly different things in wordpress. like at the top of every post, i wanted a link to what category each post was in (now it can be more than one category *_*), but the listing it gives really messes up the layout. so i'll have to figure out a new way of showing that. but other than a few things, all the b2 php codes work in wordpress. so, yay, i don't have to learn hardly any new template codes. *_* and i haven't really done anything with the comments. i'll try to change those another time because it's really late at the moment and i should really be getting to bed. i stayed up so long getting this cursed blog to work. and now it does. yay. ;_;

    late night shopping!!
    Sat 27 Mar 2004 @ 2:19:32 am
    Posted in: Blog

    why do i always end up buying things when i stay up late at night? X_x i just bought battle royale ii from battleroyaledvd.com. looks like a good place to get it…no messing around with crazy hong kong bootlegs where the subtitle quality is never reliable. i got the one with two discs. i like special features, even if they're not subtitled. i got the two-disc one for the first battle royale, so i might as well make it a set.

    i've been so excited to see this. *_* especially because the battle rules are different and more exciting. and, well, miyuki kanbe is in it, and she plays a prissy popular girl, i hear. *_*!

    so…i guess i won't be getting i my me strawberry eggs any time soon. i almost bought some bootleg kodomo no omocha dvds today, too, but they're so expensive. @_@ and who knows how good the subtitles are. or the picture quality. so i might have to investigate that because i'm not spending over a hundred bucks for, like, ten discs of kodocha. x_x;;; i hate how it's a long show. ;_; i hate getting hooked on long shows. ;_; i almost bought the ah! megami-sama movie, too. i was soooo eyeing those kare kano dvds, too. but i figure i should keep spending to a minimum. i am trying to save money here, not spend it all on dvds. -_-; and it's kind of hard to save money when your boss only gives you ten FUPPING hours a week. -_-;;;;;

    so now i'm waiting for three fun things in the mail. my fun fitness video stuff, anza cds & headphones president cds (*dies* i know…talk about impulsive), and now my br ii dvd. *_* i think i'll live for now without the other dvds i want, because i have all this crap coming in the mail. somehow i'll find some way to survive.

    stupid government -_-
    Wed 24 Mar 2004 @ 4:35:14 pm
    Posted in: Blog

    okay, so i got off the phone a little while ago with a person from human resources. and let me just say that i really hate the government at the moment. -_-

    remember how i made a special trip into lethbridge a while back just to get a replacement social insurance card with my real name on it? well, i got a letter in the mail today saying that it can't be processed. i was wondering why it was taking forever…it's been a month. well, the reason it couldn't be processed was, and i quote…"we are required to verify father's name." they made me fill out a form, and i left that part blank. my birth certificate has it blank, so what's the point of putting that? (and in defense of my mother, yes i know who my father is. don't go calling jerry springer on me, here. -_-)

    and they didn't provide any other information. o_O like, um, what i'm supposed to do about this! i can't provide any legal information that would help, and i freaking showed the government people my birth certificate in person last time and they said everything was fine! so i decide to call them and see what i needed to do to get the ball rolling again, and i spent forever listening to machine recordings. -_- even though i originally called the lethbridge number, and all. i ended up talking to a person in new brunswick that didn't know what was going on and she basically told me that i should go back to the human resources centre and show them my birth certificate. again. -_-; i rarely go into lethbridge as it is, so this really pisses me off.

    i'm going to eat some pizza. -_-

    Posted in: The Sims!!

    i figured out why i've been playing the sims so much lately. i had to give my mom's computer back, and i have nothing better to do on my days off from work. x_x it's sad, but true.

    i didn't play as much today, but i did create a new family! :D i created a really cool house for the starlights way back, remember? well, i evicted them today, created a new family, moved them in, did the money cheat, evicted them, and moved them into the huge house that the game comes with that i've been saving for a rainy day. >_> and then i demolished the starlights' big fancy house. i don't really know why. o_o that took forever to make (they even had a pool house), but oh well. yay, an empty lot.

    anyway, the new family is…

    it's a sims takeover!!
    Sun 21 Mar 2004 @ 10:12:07 pm
    Posted in: The Sims!!

    i can't stop playing the sims. ;_; today i played the sneaky family (kley/ferret/dg) mostly. nothing really exciting happened. dg's finally starring in big title movies, but she's not getting any major roles. kley's a freaking surgeon. and ferret's a swat team leader. *_* we rock. *_* gotta work on dg's career a bit, though. x_x

    and the drama is really really awful. x_x since dg and ferret still love each other, no one can show any sort of affection to another in the same room without someone getting offended. lots of slapping going on. @_@ but i've been playing off of that. if i get kley to hug dg, ferret ends up slapping dg, because he loves kley more. so dg and ferret are almost out of love. and ferret's almost out of love with ami and matt, too, due to plain inactivity in the relationship. finally. x_x; and poor nicki…i don't even invite her over anymore. that just makes the drama so much worse…ferret hates nicki (who's dg's original lover, remember?) because dg and nicki are all over each other…and ferret gets his panties in a bunch about it nicki touching his dg. x_x

    and now for a few pictures…
