Wow, I have lots to tell. :X

Mood: Crazy~!
Listening to: Capercallie - Coisich, a Rùin

Since it took me two hours some odd to post all of it up on my LJ, I've decided to just cross-post it for the most part. ^_^;; Oh! No pictures either. :/ (Drat, I know. XD) My mom's friend took some.... maybe we'll get some of those. ^_^; If so, I'll post them up. :3

We decided to start the day early... >_> Er.... _Early_. AKA, I was woken up two hours before we had to go. >_< Dude, I THOUGHT I awoke an hour before we left (because I heard 9 not some time after 9) and started being mopey. :/ Yeah.... MOVING ON, after I was ready, we headed out to Penn Station in Newark, almost 90 minutes away. I hadn't been on the PATH train since... before 9/11 actually... And I remember the old WTC subway exit ramp... (More on that later.)
While getting on to the PATH train, I noticed a flyer for a stolen (YES, stolen) kid. Apparently, an illegal immigrant stole this guys kid for a reason. >_o He's offering $5000 for her retrieval. I hope he gets some one. :/
So, our first stop was...... the World Trade Center! (NO WHAY! :O) Lemme say this -- that station... is much better now. XD Sorry, I'm just mean. :O I did get creepy jives from it, but... it's just a giant hole in the ground. X_x I don't see the big fuss. D: We walked around it for a tad and went to the building with the "astranged" art exhibit by a Korean artist... I'm too sore/lazy (sorazy! :D) to go and get the little thing I got for it, but it was practically trash placed in boxes. XD I started CRACKING UP! lol I was like, "How the crap is THIS art?" Some of the most memorable ones were an umbrella and just a lot of pills. lol
Moving along, we walked around a bit before having a real direction. X) We walked through a small park with a fountain surrounded by gas-lit lamps (ZEPPLIN'D! D:) to find the street to Chinatown... And find it we did. ♥ ♥ ♥ Chinatown = teh haxor. So... many... shops. X_X We didn't go into many, but I looked around in a daze... So much Asian stuff... ♥ ♥ ♥ I ended up only getting stuff from the two stores we went to... and they're both parishable. -_-;; I'm still kicking myself. :O Yet... The stuff I got is soo good. ;__; Sugar-dried and lemon plums, assorted candies from China, Korean and Japan (get White Rabbit. D:), and Botan Rice candies (candy wrapped in an edible rice paper layer). ♥ All are practically from Aji Ichiban and are all excellent. ^_^
We ate at Hop Ki, an UNDERGROUND (that's important!) Chinese restaurant. zomgwtfbbqYUMMAH! If you get the chance to go there, do it damn it! >O Just remember to ask for chopsticks. lol They have the most awesome dishes and their egg drop soup isn't dyed. D: If you don't, do not eat abouve ground if you want good food. XD After that, we headed to the Natural Sciences museum... through Central Park! D: No resting, no drinks, not much in the ways of relief. When we got to the museum... we had an hour to burn before our planeterium thingy. -_-; Yeah... standing around looking at things for a tad (witting filled in some spots) and then watched the thingy. It was so SHORT. <_>Gr....... But, it was purty. XD
After that we headed home almost the same way we went in. We WERE gonna do Chili's, but we were all too wiped out. -_-; We had pizza instead! :D lol Oh, and..... I FINISHED COLLECTING ALICE 19TH! WOOOOOOOT~~! zomg. XD It was only like... three months of collecting. lol Dude -- that's sad. XDD I truely have no life. lol My final thoughts: ZOMG I LOVE YOU KYO! :O Yeah. ^_^;;;


I also started a college course on Graphic Design on Wednsday since I am being home schooled again this year. :/ Here's some more on that:

We got there and I was my usual shy self... We came early to get my books (which I might not need anyway) as well as my ID. The bookstore didn't open until 9, the exact time my class started (or so said the schedule D:). We skipped it and headed upstairs to the classroom. We saw the teacher head in and kind of just... lingered for a bit. O_o I, being my shy self, didn't wanna go in. XD Five minutes passed of "well, are you going to go in?" "I'm not sure" stuff and then, outta the blue, a person comments on Ed! (I was/am wearing my blue FMA t-shirt.) :D I turned and saw Danny (yet another Danielle to know [lol]) who promptly lifted her Ed keychain~! WAI~! :O I showed her mine AND Roy then she started fingering my keychains. XDD Needless to say, I sat by her. D:!
AS class progressed, nothing... really happened. XD We sat there and talked. Mr. Homa ROCKS! :D He completely understands how HARD it is to pay attention to speaking... Maybe it was because we were having fun on the MACS! :O lol (Just maybe. ;P) We took like... two breaks and had so much fun using the computers. ♥ It's SUPPOSED to be around 4 hours long, but we get out in a little over three. :) I love it a lot. ^_^;
After class, while I was waiting for Mom to get there and pick me up, I hung out with the "Lounge Crew". XD (I moved from the "Lunch Crew" to the "Lounge Crew", funny that. :O) Danny and her friends. X) They're HILARIOUS. D: zomg. lol The eldest being 23, it makes me get a whole new little perspecitve on these things. :3 I can't wait to go back and start fiddling with Photoshop. :)


Yes, I am having a bit too much fun. ^_^;; Since I'm being home schooled, I'm taking Political Science (made an LJ to post in and everything. :X), Physics, and English. And, since I AM home schooled, I don't get to see my friends. :/ We have thought about taking my friends that can leave the school out to lunch or bringing food to them once every week. I dunno how we're going to execute that, but I hope it works. ^_^

Wow, I think that's it... O_o Well, I might post later for all we know. XD; I have a very irratic posting behavior on here. lol Matta ne~! :D

omgyay!

Mood: peachy
Listening to: Malice Mizer - Au Revoir

Look! I'm updating! Sorry for those of you watching me! I feel like I've become invisible at this point... ^__^;;;; Lots of things have happened and I think I should fill you in. :) Well, since I was home schooled the first semester of last year, I will not be allowed to attend the upcoming school year even though it's against the law. Since we don't have enough money and have now passed the deadline, we cannot go to court on this very important matter. In other words, the people that are preventing me from doing things that are as normal as pie are getting off scotch-free. I won't be able to see my friends, go to prom, or do anything that seniors normally do. This makes me very depressed, but I won't let it get to me. Maybe I should write to the local newspaper... AnimeInside, my friend's anime PodCast, is pretty full for a solo project. >3 I have all the episodes on my iPod. Pretty fun. ^__^;;; And this friend's voice actually makes me all squibbly. ~^^~; He's very kind and lovely, too. :) What else has gone on since May? *thinks* I went ot Chattanooga for two days~! I love that place. Go visit if you're in the area. :) The aquarium is a must see. ^__^ I got so many things not available to me here in New Jersey. I think the trip was a plus on my summer. My dad might be going back to France this spring... and we're going no matter what. :3 We might also be going to Britian soon! Oh, I'm full of excitement. ^__^ We don't know how long the trip to France will last yet, but, if it's longer than 6 months, we're bringing the dogs. They'll have so much fun. In less than two weeks, my mom's friend is coming up for a visit... But, that's not why I'm happy about it. We get to go into New York for a day! :D I'm saving up all my money (except how much it costs to get Shoujo Beat... Love that magazine...) for the stores there. i hope I find something I like. ^__^ We're going to visit ground zero and all those important things. It's gonna be a long, fun, and tiring day... I can't wait. *__* Well, my best wishes to all of you. ^_^ Time to go do my rounds. ;P

Nothing new

by: __cthebloodflow

Listening to: Unmei no Dea - Malice Mizer

Nothing new has happened lately. I wish something would. I have nothing to do since I've finished updating merveilles to the point when I only have to do the discography and even THAT is optional. So, I'm sitting here doing nothing but being stomping mad. ~__~ Crappy family sucks so much. I bet you they on't realize much of anything anymore. No one cares anymore. Maybe I'll pop on IM for once. :/ Oh! And It's Közi's birthday today! Go Közi! :D

Spring Break: CLOSED

by: __cthebloodflow

Mood: sleepy
Listening to: Djobi, Djoba - The Gipsy Kings

There you have it... All my time to do stuff with is already gone. where did it all go to? I know it definately wasn' sleeping... I woke up and went to sleep at reasonable hours. (I bet you I can even handle that ten o'clock bedtime coming up real soon and get up at six.) I did a lot of work on my Spanish teacher's website. Matter in fact, it's to the point where I don't have to do anything for the next few weeks. :) Some of my other sites still need work, but they're ment to be slower, little projects that just strike my fancy. ^__^ Nothing to big as I have promised myself.

I have recently found my long lost Legend of Dragoon favourite: If You Still Believe. That song is just so wonderfully set up and is very fluid. It is going on my iPod Shuffle tomorrow when I update it for the oncomming day.

Speaking of tomorrow, it'll be Mana Monday meaning I'll have to dress accordingly. I will have to try out make-up tips I found from a great website on how to make-up like Mana. :) Very nicely done, too. Maybe I'll just come up with my own way to do the make-up since my face isn't thin enough just yet. (Ah, the love of growing up...) Maybe I should tote along my favourite teddy, too. After all, I'll probably be in that kind of mood. ^__^;

The Spring Festival was better than I had hoped. My friend, Lindsay popped up after I went through the line for the big free candy (things that come in the big bags that sell for at least $3 a piece) and had collected much of the free stuff from the "merchant" tents. There was so much free stuff I actually had to frequently switch from hand to hand to avoid any discomfort. Anyway, Lindsay and I hit the vendors again for more free stuff. After all that was said and done, we played some games. We didn't win any, but what's new? We did happen to get another "silverfish" (not quite gold...) and we named it Schlieffen, Jr. after the first fish I had that lasted long enough to recieve a name (who was named after, yes, the Schlieffen Plan from World War I). I hope that he'll be able to live past the record of one week (set by his senior) and become aquainted with the guinea pig I'm finally getting to meet on Wednesday. I really am excited to get my first guinea pig. I just hope it's like taking care of a rabbit because I've had experiance with rabbits my whole life. This will be my first pet that isn't a rabbit, a cat, or a dog, so I am quite estatic about all of this! ^__^ From what I heard, It's really cuddly...

Wow, how time flies! It's time for me to go to bed to be prepared for tomorrow's launching of school. I can't wait. ^__^ Ja matta ashita to oyasumi!

Yay, now I at least have one Mana picture up here. :) I enjoy it. ^__^ I hope you do as well. Do feel free to leave me a comment if anything looks... weird.

Listening to: Kyomu No Chuu De No Yuugi Dais - Malice Mizer

Nothing has gone on recently to note. Actually, my memory stick got washed today... so I can't use it for another day or so. Bites because I have to use many of the files on there tonight if I will get them saved on file. :/ I mean, half of the stuff on it isn't located on my hard drive. >_< Meh, oh well. At least most of it is uploaded on to the web or I have it on a ZIP disk. :) Sweet sassy molassie. Anyway, I better get uploading those Mana pictures I found today. I'll update my merveilles when I can use the files again. Ja matta. *edit* Before I forget, again, WoW (World of Warcraft) is too addicting. :/ lol I mean, I went from level 12 to level 17 today... in a snap, no less. :) I can't wait to watch BAB 5! WOOT! XD *edit again* I must remember the time difference between Britian and the East coast. ~__~;
