Paints & Colors

I never really knew how much I loved painting until just a few months ago. I have done a bit of painting all throughout elementary school, and beyond but I never really thought about how enjoyable it is until a few months ago when I was feeling quite stressed. A long time ago when I was 13 I went to a church girls camp and we were given boxes to paint for fun. For the past 11 years or so that box had a rather bad paint job but I never did anything about it because it was out of eye sight for a long time. Around the end of October I was feeling stressed and sad because of troubles with a close friend of mine and the fact that I had to drop out of that semester of school. I had some simple cheap paints in my art box and too much free time so one night I just decided to redo the box. I used the cardboard back of one of my fuzzy posters to paint on top of and to protect the carpet or any other surface from paint.

I wasn't sure what color I was going to paint the box at first, I experimented with colors for a while. After going through various purples, then indigo, and a dark blue I finally decided that I would paint it navy blue. A few weeks previous to deciding to paint the box I had taken another flower shaped box that I had and re-painted it navy blue and silver. I managed to stink up the whole house with nail polish fumes  doing that. Anyway, I had been painting on the floor, but moved to my desk dresser, it was more comfortable.

It didn't take me long after this to realize that I didn't have enough paint to finish the box. I went to Michaels craft store and bought the necessary paints and then went home. I noticed while I was painting that box that painting made me really relaxed and happy. I didn't paint for a while after that because i didn't know what I wanted to paint and at the time I didn't have very much money. I decided to go to Michaels and decide on more stuff to paint. I really enjoy painting wood, so I picked out some wooden boxes. I didn't buy anything right then, but waited until Christmas so i wouldn't have to spend a lot of money on the things I wanted. I got everything I pretty much wanted without naming the exact boxes, it was pretty lucky. I also had asked for a bunch of paints for Christmas as well and I got those too.

So from then until now I've been increasing the amount I paint. The picture at the top shows my latest finished project and one I am working on right now. It took me 3 days to paint that white chest, and I'm doing the smaller one metallic platinum silver. I will make sure to get more pictures when I am done painting everything I have. With all the various paints and brushes I have I really feel like my creativity is growing. I don't think I am quite done with the white chest altogether, just for now until i can find clear iridescent paint.

Anyway, before I painted the wooden chest a few weeks ago my room had been VERY messy. I hadn't cleaned it in probably 2 months. That friend who I briefly mentioned above and i were having more issues and we had a complete fallout. I find that when I am stressed one of the things that makes me feel better other than painting is cleaning, organizing and reducing m possessions. I am a minimalist and prefer to have as little as I can. Getting rid of things, organizing and / or cleaning makes me super relaxed. I did a major purge of my room and organized the whole thing, I got rid of quite a few things and moved others to better parts of the house. My newly cleaned room allowed me to have enough room to paint more.

Anyway, there are different levels of minimalism, I am as minimalist as I can be right now, i would love to get to a higher level some day though. Here is a video of one buy who took it all out. I probably won't ever get this far, I can do my best though.

I've always had this really big problem where I can never think of anything to eat at all. Today I am pretty sure 90% of what i ate today was chips. I had some beans and rice and cheese for dinner, and some ice cream. Other than that I have been really bad about food today. Because I am so hopeless about food and I want to get in shape I am going to start drinking Spiru Tein shakes twice a day starting next month. I feel my weight gain has more to do with lack of proper food and water than anything else. It's true that I don't exercise enough, but I think my food and water intake problem is the biggest issue. I can fix the water problem really easy, but I have to be more skillful about my food. I am determined to tackle my issues so i can be really healthy and become stronger. I am planning on walking every day and going to the gym a few times a week. Eventually I ant to start running and possibly swimming more as well. For now I'll take it one day at a time. You can't really rush this kind of thing.

My room has been in a constant state of being cold over the past few weeks, it's like it refuses to contain any kind of heat even when I keep my door shut. Not only does the beginning of spring mean that I can start walking again, but it means that pretty soon this problem will go away. I very much dislike being cold.

Today I went visiting teaching, the person my companion and I went to see is getting married soon and we talked to her for a good 40 minutes probably, though I didn't mind at all. We talked about her getting ready for the wedding and stuff and then we gave a spiritual lesson. Being the way i am I am not surprised that I have forgotten what exactly it was we gave the lessson on. It was nice to get out of the house for a while and see someone.

Because it was a very nice day today, after we left and I was dropped off at my house I decided I wanted to go get my ear buds and walk around the local track. I spent the next half and hour walking 4 times around the track and daydreaming while listening to techno music. I was very warm after the first couple of laps, but it felt very nice to not be cold. I went home after the 4th lap and just spent the rest of the day watching anime, listening to music and playing games on my phone. I was feeling pretty laid back after the walk and wanted to just relax. I am currently working on the Ghost Hunt anime for the second time, and after that I think I am going to try and get back into Detective Conan. I need to catch up on that anime very badly seeing as it is my favorite anime. A few days ago i started watching an anime called BECK. I had forgotten how much it swears in the English version. I quickly abandoned that and decided to watch something else.

Anyway, I've been in a pretty great mood today, besides the stuff I mentioned above I just did a little bit of surfing using the StumbleUpon toolbar. I am nearly to 10k page likes.

I should probably end this here, i think I haven't missed anything. :)

Moving Like the Wind

       Someone once told me that every person has a red sting of fate. This string of fate starts at the heart and leads to the heart of the person they are fated to be with. I wonder where my red string of fate leads sometimes. I think I have figured it out, but life is so unpredictable that I have no idea what kind of road it is going to throw me onto sometimes. I have a feeling that someday soon my life is going to find itself on another crazy road, but I know I can make it just fine. I have always been a strong person even if it took me a while to figure this out. I have always thought of myself as a phoenix. I am always reborn from the ashes of defeat no matter what. Every time I rise from those mystical silver ashes I become stronger and stronger. I want to spread my wings with someone else someday. I believe everyone has a soul mate, it’s just some of us don’t know where to look sometimes.

My attachment to the sky has gotten even stronger as of late. This is probably because Ronnie loves the sky as much as I do. No matter where we might be, no matter how far, the same sky connects us. No one can take this sole fact away from us. He is the moon in the sky and I am the sea. When he is happy I am happy, and when he is sad I always feel like I have to do something in order to fix it. If I had the power I would do so much more for him than I have. If I knew how to live on my own I probably would have moved closer to where he is already. Apart from my family I don’t really have any strong attachment to very many people over here. I know someday I will get the chance to spread my wings, and when that day comes he will be the first person I fly to. I want the question answered, and I want to know if he is the one for sure. I hope fate will allow our strings of fate to cross someday. Knowing that he has been a lot happier lately has really made me feel a lot lighter. I hope he can hold onto his new found happiness and find the right path for himself.

I feel like I have been a lot more balanced today, both in body and in mind. I noticed it when I went to my yoga class at school for the last time today. We had a two hour class where we went through all the poses in the primary series. We did all the standing poses, the seating poses, and the closing sequence. It took us about an hour and 45 minutes to do everything. When I first came to the class at the beginning of the semester I couldn’t even touch my toes, but now I can put my hands underneath my feet now. I have gotten more fluid and focused and I have mastered the breath we use. I am nowhere near being perfect at the poses in the primary series, but I have improved a lot this semester. It was nice to be able to go through all the poses. We have never got all the way through because the class has always been too short. Usually the class is only an hour, so we have only gotten to do so much every day. I came out of class today feeling very relaxed and energetic. I am going to miss my class, but my teacher teaches at a studio somewhere near here, so I am probably going to get a membership at the studio he teaches at some time soon.

My morning was normal, I just hung out and did my usual, got dressed for yoga, listened to music, read a little, watched some anime. I had 3 tangerines for breakfast. You aren’t supposed to eat very much, if at all before yoga usually. I get carsick on a completely empty stomach though, so I had to eat at least that much. I have an incurable addiction to tangerines. I went an hour early to school and just walked around campus before yoga. I didn’t want to get thirsty during class, so I walked to the school store and bought a Sobe Lifewater. I walked to my yoga class right after this. I always like to be early for yoga so I can get a good spot. I put everything I brought except for my jacket and my purse outside the door of the classroom, grabbed a mat and went in. I carefully wiped off my mat with a Clorox wipe, wrapped my purse in my jacket, and then did some stretches and waited for class to start.

After class I was starving, so I decided to go out to eat. There is this place called “Rocking Robbie’s” on campus that I have taken a liking to. Today was only the second time I have gotten food there. I can’t believe what I have been missing by not eating there. Last time I went there last Friday it was the first time I went there. I had no idea what to expect, but the food sounded good. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich combo with a strawberry shake last time, and this time I ordered the crispy chicken combo but I didn’t get a shake this time.

They always take a few minutes to prepare your food and it always looks and tastes good. Their shakes are made fresh and have big slices of fruit in them, and they always taste great. I have been to a lot of fast food places, but this one is probably the best one I’ve been to so far. I am not very big on fast food, so this is really saying a lot.

Anyway, today was much like yesterday. My parents had another tabernacle choir rehearsal and I just chilled at home and watched anime and made the best of my time. I am going to have to pick up my book again later sometime, it is getting interesting. In high school I was pretty famous for always carrying a book with me. I love to read a lot, and I think I haven’t been reading nearly as much as I should lately. I have a nice long list of books that I need to read and I intend to finish it off.

I went upstairs today and my sister was watching Star Trek again, it is a pretty common thing here for me to go upstairs and find it on all the time. I grew up watching Star Trek, I am also a big fan of it. I have to admit I still need to watch the original one. I miss the days when Star Trek was on, it was always such a big thing for my family. We never seem to get bored of Star Trek.

I know one of these days I’m going to need to do something other than just sitting around and watching anime and reading, but for now it’s nice.

I Wish it Would Never End

So it's been a few days since I started reading a manga called "Glass Mask". From the very first day I started reading it I fell in love with the story line. Glass Mask is about a girl that loves acting, the whole manga is absolutely brilliant in every way, very creative, inspiring and the plays it portrays leave you on the edge of your seat. Today I reached the latest chapter, that is I am caught up in the manga to the most current chapter.

There are 2 things I hate when I am reading a manga. First when one ends, especially when I really liked reading it. The other thing I hate though is waiting for the next chapter to come out. Most of you know the experience of wanting to know what happens next in a book, or TV, it's the same thing here. Lucky for me and other people that read manga that there are a lot of different manga so when I am waiting for the next chapter to come out I can just go read another one.

My sister made chocolate chip cookies today, it's been a while since she did that. She is allergic to gluten, so for a while we didn't do that. I don't know anything about making gluten free cookies, but the ones she made tonight were good. I think I must have eaten like 4 or 5 of them (haha). While in the process of eating the cookies tonight we also dwindled our milk supply down the 0% sadly. I guess I won't be eating chocolate cereal tomorrow for breakfast after all. I guess I'll have to improvise.

Today's sunset brought an impressive display of pink and orange clouds. It was very pretty and yes I did get a picture of course.

Speaking of clouds it did rain a little bit today as well. Some time in the midst of the rain or after it rained Darik snapped a picture of a rainbow on his phone and uploaded it to Instagram. It's a really pretty picture. Here is a link to the picture.

Rainbow Picture

Anyway, the rain made the air smell heavenly, i was outside for about 20 minutes I think taking pictures and smelling the fresh air it was amazing. Sadly I did not see the rainbow that happened for myself, though I wish I had seen it. I think I was inside trying to finish the last few episodes of the "Glass Mask" anime. "Glass Mask" is also an anime by the way.  I did end up finishing it by the way, and it was a really great anime, even though they never did finish it completely.

I know I've been a little absent on Xanga lately. I have trouble with procrastinating a little bit. I seem to be doing that a lot lately, i should really stop. I suppose me starting to blog on blogger as well will open an opportunity to catch up and fill in the blanks on both of my blogs. It wasn't to too long ago actually a few hours ago I started setting up my blog on blogger. I'm really looking forward to having my blog in 2 places at once again. Some of you know I used to blog on Tumblr, but quit because they have no adult content filter and I was tired of running into stuff I did not want to see.

I was thinking of going to Harmon's for fun a few hours ago to get some stuff to eat, I changed my mind though.I was going to get some chicken and potatoes and macaroni and cheese, but I decided to just stick with what I had at home. I think that was healthier than going to Harmon's anyway. I don't think I have been eating healthy today anyway so that was smart.

Anyway, I'm going to go play Tetris for a while before I go to bed. I usually always do that, it helps me sleep better.

I guess that is all for now. Nothing else has really happened today. If I forgot anything I will just mention it in a future post.

Oh, and if you see posts appear that are of an earlier date that means I have begun moving my blog posts from Xanga to here. Pretty soon it will look like I have been blogging on here for the last 3 years. You won't even be able to notice I just made this blog today. :)

Seeing People

So I had ward FHE (Family Home Evening) tonight. We usually do some kind of activity or have a lesson and have refreshments afterwards. Tonight we went around in groups visiting inactive people that haven't been to church or haven't been to our ward in a while that are supposed to. We got together in groups and picked people to visit. I was in a group with 2 other people from my ward, Elisa and Richie.

I have to admit I felt a little uncomfortable at the prospect of confronting people about not being in church. I had never done it before tonight so it was an interesting experience for me. I almost backed out a few times but I am glad I went now. It wasn't as weird as I thought it would be. We joked a little how it was a little bit like we were Jehovah's Witnesses since there were 2 girls and a guy. That part of the conversation was pretty funny.

We visited 2 people, one was named Paul, and the other one I don't remember what his name was but he was pretty interesting. The one with the name I can't remember was the one we visited first. Apparently Richie and Elisa were really familiar with the family and they were able to just walk right into the house. The guy we visited liked guns a lot, and he is going to gun smith school pretty soon. It was a pretty interesting visit, the guy really likes gun a lot, we don't think he will be coming to the ward, he seemed a little preoccupied with his future plans. The family was pretty nice, it was a good experience.

We visited this guy named Paul next. We were going to visit him first but he was busy with something else so we came back after we saw the other guy. He never really gave us a clear answer as to if he was going to come to our ward again, but he seemed promising. At least we got a better response than we did from the other guy. We talked about what we are doing for school and for jobs, and what we are planning for the future. We talked about foreign languages, and a few other things. We were offered home made donuts, I took one it was a chocolate one and was very good. It was a really interesting visit, and I really enjoyed listening to the conversation. I didn't talk at all when we visited the other guy but they managed to get a whole sentence out of me for this visit. I just mentioned something about how my brother knows a few languages. I left most of the talking to other people.  Paul was taking this school year off and he was just working. I don't know if we will see him, but I guess we will see.

After we got done visiting these two people we went to Harmon's. We were in charge of refreshments, this is why we went there. We got some pumpkin cookies and Oreo's. We then drove back to the church, to the pavilion where we met at first and ate the refreshments. It was pretty dark by the time we got finished with visiting so i turned on my iPhone flashlight so we could see.

I went home not to long after we ate the refreshments. I spent the rest of the night up until now just reading manga, watching anime and doing stuff on facebook. Nothing much has happened today, other than what we did for FHE.

Darik did join Instagram though. It is a photography iPhone app. Dylan has been on it for a wile but until today Darik wasn't. He has already put up some pretty good photos. I am excited to see what he adds in the future. I also became active on Instagram today again as well. Here are a few photos I added today.

Going to bed soon so I guess I will stop here.

Revival

I feel a bit down right now about my blog.  I mostly regret not posting more, and this in turn has made me not want to pick up and update. That might sound a little messed up but I've decided that even though I have missed a lot of opportunities to blog about a lot of things I will keep on posting anyway. The best thing about memories is you can always share them, even months after they happened.  I decided that even though I haven't been good about updating, it is not to late to change that.

I just got done with the HCG diet, I lost 25 pounds in a month on it. I have to be careful about what I eat for the next month though and slowly add more foods back into my diet. If i do it to fast i can gain my weight back again really fast. Lucky for me my mom knows  lot about health.  I feel a lot better after going on the diet, you would think that it would be really un-healthy for the amount of weight you lose but it really isn't.

Valentine's Day was pretty normal, I just spent the day looking up workout plans and running for beginners. I've been using about.com to to research a few things like psychology, fitness and a few other things. I love that website a lot. I now have my running program all planned out and when the weather gets a bit warmer I'm going to start training.

I've been spending the last 2 days reviewing some of the One Piece anime and manga. I felt the need to memorize more of the names and places of the anime and manga since I'm such a big fan. That is primarily what I have been doing since Valentine's Day.

My nephew turned 6 months last week, he is adorable!

Anyway, I think I'll update again later, for now though this is it.

Dryer Sheets and Fans

My room was starting to smell weird for some reason, probably because of the clothes on the floor, or because I always keep the door shut. I thought up something funny about 2 days ago. I have this fan I keep running a lot in my room now, I went into the laundry room and grabbed a dryer sheet out of the cupboard in there and stuck it on the back of my fan. The problem solved in less than 30 seconds, in fact my room still smells good. :)

I don’t really remember writing about this before  but, I’ve had this thing for Mulan lately. I always feel like watching it. I find it sort of amusing, not to long ago it was Lion King. I love the first and the second one. I don’t know what it is that gets me stuck randomly on movies like that it’s mysterious.

I’ve been thinking about how much I’ve been wining to myself lately about the state of my life. I know the truth is it’s my fault I got here, not anyone else’s I really wish I had tried a bit harder when I was in school, and learned how to transport myself a little better. I know I could have done that but I was so lazy back then. I still have a lack of motivation I need to get rid of but it’s not as bad as it was years back. I am now 21 and I know I need to just face my fears somehow and go out into the world.

Weird night for me last night again. I fell asleep again around 11. This is usually rare for me, but it’s the second night in a row. I guess I’m starting to get tired of my rebellious need to go to bed late that I have carried with me ever since high school. I woke up around 2 and couldn’t sleep though for about 3 hours. I guess my body needs to adjust to the new sleeping time. I got more sleep though.

I’ve said I hate cold weather in the past and that I have been dreading fall coming. That is true, but there is one thing I love about cold weather that makes it worth while around here. I love snow a lot, I hope it snows a lot again this fall and winter. It’s the only thing I look forward to when it gets cold. I get sort of gloomy in the winter without it.

I’ve been watching an anime called “Fairy Tail” lately.  I have fallen in love with it I think it’s amazing. The art style is sort of like “One Piece”, which is my favorite anime of all time. I find the story very enjoyable and the characters fun to watch. I have been an anime fan for almost 5 years now knowingly. Before that I watched anime without even knowing it. I guess I have been a fan my whole life if you want to get technical.  I started to get serious about it around the middle of 2006 though. I started watching Card Captor Sakura or Cardcaptors as it’s called around here again. I hadn’t seen it in years, and I found it online along with a few others I had heard about from my best friend at the time. It just sort of branched off into manga and cosplay love after that.

Anyway, I don’t want to exhaust all my words and run out of things to say for later so I’ll just stop here for now. :)

Miniature Golf!

So today was sort of interesting.

At first in the morning there was still lightning and thunder around, I’m pretty sure it did not rain though because the sidewalks were completely dry.

I had cheerios for breakfast yesterday. That's my usual breakfast, that or waffles, or pancakes or toast or some combo ha ha.

I don’t really remember what i had today.

Anyway, so I just mostly hung out on the computer watching anime and playing Destiny Online for a little bit. I started to watch Gintama but fell asleep for a few hours.

It was sunny by this time, I was a little glad but I missed the lightning.

I just made myself a cheese sandwich at this point and went back downstairs and watched more anime, and did stuff on facebook. I also read the latest chapter of One Piece.

It was really hot in the house, so I turned on my fan and got ready to go golfing with some people I know for a church activity.

I left about 7:40pm and went over to my church. It was starting to get cloudy. We got together and went over to the golf course. We did 18 holes of golf, I got a little bored after hole 10 though. Except for the 1 time I accidentally hit the ball to hard and it went flying into the bushes. That was pretty funny. I was glad to be done when I finished though. I don’t really like miniature golf that much for some reason.

I had ice cream and just stood around for a while after that. Then some of the other people that came including the people i came with started talking about various things. We watched lightning and just talked about life and our jobs and school and stuff it was fun. We decided to go to a local track and just sit and watch the lightning and joke about stuff. It was a really good temperature right about then.  I went home after a while of just looking up at the sky.

When i got home i had salad and watched more anime. Going to bed now.

Everyday Happenings...

You know I’ve been waiting for a long time for it to not just rain, but storm. I don’t like it when it just rains a lot, but when thunder and lightning gets involved it gets somewhat exciting, and less depressing.  It’s been storming all day, I’ve enjoyed it.

My aunt and my cousin came over. Mom was talking abut some health related stuff with them. I never bother to listen in on the conversations though. My cousin Jacky had her little boys over, they were pretty cute, and noisy just like my nieces. I miss having them around a little but it’s nice to get some peace and quiet now and then.

I had an orange popsicle while this was going on. Everyone else seemed to follow my lead after that, which was sort of amusing.

I wrote a comment on Sam’s facebook telling how glad I am he exists and that he is a good friend. Every time I think about him my mood goes into super sparkly happy mode. I always end up being happy for the rest of the day when I talk to him.

The new chapters of Bleach, and Naruto were very good today. They just came out a few hours ago. I have been waiting for the particular story sequences that are happening in Bleach and Naruto. They have been dragging on for a long time with the previous ones.  I have to say I am quite pleased with what is happening in both.

Thunderstorms

So yesterday evening I started watching a show called “Neo Angelique Abyss”. I accidentally found it while I was looking through anime with the word “angel” in the title. I’m glad I found it because it was a really great show. There were 2 seasons I got half way through the first yesterday night and finished it today. It’s almost 3pm here now, I’ve been watching it for hours totally drawn in by the story.

There was a big thunderstorm yesterday night. It started getting noisy around 5am. I got startled and woke up a few times with my heart beating because a few times it got really loud, it shook the house a little. I didn’t actually see it though, I should have gone upstairs and looked at it but I was still half asleep and when I’m like that I usually have no interest in anything else but just going back to sleep. I really like watching rain storms though.

I’ve been dealing with my every day problems as usual. I’ve always had a hard time communicating with people my whole life, being social, etc. Sometimes I get a big angry and frustrated with people because I don’t feel like they actually try very much to talk to me or be my friend. Sometimes I feel a large amount of hatred for everyone and just want them to all go away and leave me alone. Sometimes it gets so bad I feel sick. I’ve had this problem on a regular basis ever since I can remember. I’ve never really worried about it though because it always goes away with a little bit of time. I’ve become very skilled at controlling my emotions and thoughts and feelings. i suppose that is a very good skill to have. A lot of people these days lack self control.

I spent a good part of yesterday setting up my google bookmarks. It was a fun thing to do with my time.

I’m planning on quitting Destiny Online in 4 days. I have actually been planning this for a while but I had to go back because of my job as a GM on the game. I would have left a month ago if it weren’t for that one thing. I feel like I spend to much time on it and I don’t really think my lifestyle and the game and the people go well together. My beliefs, and my actions are very different from people on Destiny.

Anyway I guess that’s all for now.

books...

you’ll notice that I didn’t write for a couple of weeks. Don’t worry about that nothing much happened to my knowledge and memory. I’m known to blank out a lot of things though.I got a bit lazy in my writing.

Anyway nothing much has happened for the past day and a half. Today is Wednesday. I’ve just been doing stuff at home, like dishes, and reading, just the usual stuff.

I’m almost done reading Fablehaven #5. It’s getting really interesting.It’s the last book. I’ll be sad when I finish it.

I’ll post later again later, I’m not really doing anything that interesting right now. Just cleaning up my room somewhat.

Oh, and Fullmetal Alchemist ended this week. It was a nice anime, I don’t think I’ll watch it again though. it’s a little to violent for my taste in some places. I’m being a lot more selective with the anime and manga I watch now. I’m being a lot more careful with a lot of things.

Birthday Extention and Toy Story 3!

Okay, so I got a bit lazy yesterday and didn’t finish.

Anyway what happened on Monday…

I got up at about 6:30, I mostly just hung around listening to music and reading. I thought we were going to leave at 7:30am so I got up that early. I should have guessed we wouldn’t leave that early, we’re usually late to stuff like parades. I guess it’s a matter of priority.

I had cheese potatoes for breakfast (ha ha I know not the best thing). The potatoes were the ones we had at dinner the evening before for my birthday. 

I just went back downstairs and listened to music until we left after that. I really love New Age, it’s pretty. I really enjoy listening to it whenever I can along with piano, meditation music, and ambient. I love that kind of music. Music with words is okay now and again but music with no lyrics can spark the imagination more.

Anyway So we got into the car, I had made the mistake of not eating enough before I got into the car. That and the fact that one of my nieces was in a really bad mood made my car sickness even worse. I only get car sick on an empty stomach. I was super relieved to get out of the car, just on the verge of losing my early morning breakfast that I had eaten.

We paused in a few places, watching the beginning of the parade. I never really planned on watching the parade to begin with I was just there for my family because they wanted to go.

We walked for quite a while looking for the place where my relatives sat, we almost gave up a few times, my sister stayed behind and got a ride with my dad once we found the spot where they were sitting. I just got my book out and read the whole time ignoring the parade completely. I just wanted to sit with my relatives.

Anyway, so after that we just went back home. I cached up on some anime, and then just took a nap. I didn’t get enough sleep the night before. I was up until 1am.

Anyway, so we went to a BBQ at my aunts house after that. We had hamburgers, hot dogs, and a lot of other stuff.  A lot of my cousins were there. After I ate I just sort of walked around for a bit and then just started reading my book again. I’m not a very sociable person as you should know by now. I have to admit al the people were a bit overwhelming for me. I am not very fond of big crowds, even if it is family.

We were celebrating 3 birthdays (one was mine the day before) and the other two were cousins. I didn’t get to stick around for the other two though because we had to get to our movie. We did get to eat some of my 2nd lemon cake though, it was fantastic.

Anyway so we left for the movie at about 4pm. We went to see Toy Story 3. I had been waiting for months to see it.

My dad bought me some sort of blue slushy it was good. we had popcorn and candy too. 

the movie was really great. I enjoyed it a lot. It lived up to my expectations. I wouldn’t have expected anything else from Toy Story though.

After that I was thinking about going to a ward BBQ for family home evening but I changed my mind, deciding I needed to be alone now because I had been around enough people and wanted some peace now.

I just watched Harry Potter movies and read as far as I can remember. It was an enjoyable day for me.

Pokemon!

So another day has passed. I was a little lazy on writing yesterday because nothing much happened. It rained again though. Today is okay though, it’s sunny finaly today. Actualy I was a bit surprised when I went outside and looked.

yesterday I was just catching up on Pokemon. I’m somewhere around the 3rd season now. I guess there are some things even I never get tired of. I think i’m just going to watch it over and over again until I get bored. Though pokemon is a really interesting show though so it might take me a while. I have been a pokemon fan for more than 10 years. I guess some things just never get old for some people. 

I tried out kitekyoushi Hitman Reborn, but I’m not a fan, I think its sort of stupid. So that ones is a no in my list of future anime.

Yesterday was tribe war on Destiny Online. We don’t really do anything on Wednesdays though. Wednesday tribe war is just so people can get honor points. We don’t battle or anything like that.

My priest reached 63 on Destiny yesterday. Starya (my mage) reached 100mil experience. I need to save 250mil to max experience though, then i can go straight from 84 to 88 and almost skip the genie map.

Anyway yesterday I also went to the new Star Trek movie with my sister, I’m not a really big fan of the movie, I don’t like it that much but I got to get out of the house so that was good.

I watched an old titanic movie with my family the night before. I don’t think I wrote about it though.

anyway, today I went to the store with my mom. A lot of samples just happened to be out today, some of them were really great. I always enjoy going to the store with my mom, I enjoy going to the store period. there were these books about Africa, and China and stuff that were there last time but they weren't there this time. I was sort of bummed. they had really nice pictures and stuff. I’m hoping to get some of them some other time. Hopefully they will come back.

I got a berry smoothie while I was there as well. I try to get one of them whenever I can. Costoco has really great berry smoothies.

Anyway so here I am now. I’m going to continue just watching pokemon for now.

Anime and other stuff...

So nothing much happened yesterday. I just watched movies, and stuff on the computer. I found out yesterday that Sam is coming home next Monday, which is surprising, I’m a little bit nervous but not to much though. I really want to see him a lot.  Besides that i accidentally made it so i can’t log into my LDS.net account again. I tried changing my email but i never got the activation email in my other email that is a hotmail account so I have to make a new account now because i can’t activate it anymore.  I don’t really remember what else happened yesterday though.    

Anyway, today I’ve just been watching anime. I’m trying out a few different new ones, don’t know what I’ll be watching next yet though. I had a chicken and cheese burrito today, it was the first thing i ate today, i haven’t eaten anything else today though, I really should I suppose.

I was on Destiny Online today and this guy was putting a bid up for an item. I jokingly said that i would pay 1 silver thinking that he wouldn’t take it seriously but he did and started making a big deal out of it. It was pretty stupid. We got into a little fight about how i don’t owe him 1 silver because he never gave me the item because i don't want the item. I think his logic skills are a big unrefined.

Anyway so here I am now just listening to music.

Life and Toast...

I really hate it when the only thing i can think up for food is toast. I must have had at least 4 pieces of toast today. ><

I found this website called JAPANATOR, about everything anime, it’s basicly a great Otaku site. I was looking up articles about the end of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood and i found it on accident.

I was on COLOURLovers for quite a while thinking up new palettes, patterns and colors. There was one palette of purple of green colors that I was trying to find the right pattern for but I never quite found one. I think I’ll look some more later because I really want to find a nice pattern to show off the colors.

You can almost call the way the weather feels right now early Fall.  It’s like a curse! I just want this cold weather to go away!

My mom has been cleaning out our pantry and organizing everything in it. I get my organizing skills from her I think. I have always liked to organize stuff. It’s like a natural talent I have.

I re-designed my twitter page. I havn’t updated in a mont though. Today was the first day i have updated for a long time.

I went onto DeviantART today, I like to visit this chat room though it’s not really like a chat room because people aren’t allowed to say anything. It’s called Idle RPG, it’s mainly run by bots, and random things, events, whatever happen the longer your on. I discovered it’s down today though which is sort of sad because it was interesting.

Gloomy Day Today...

So catching up where I left off. I found out that this pear of sweats that I like actually belong to my sister. It’s not big deal though I can just get another pair. I need to get more pants anyway.

It’s another gloomy day today. I wish this rain would go away for a couple of weeks. I think it has rained enough lately.

I was looking at the featured videos on youtube. Sometimes it has the dumbest things on there. I tend to lean away from the top videos because some of them are really quite idiotic.

In other news my brother is here doing something with the piano I don’t know what though.

I’ve been catching up on anime lately. I have a long way to go but I managed to catch up on Fullmetal Alchemist. I still have to watch the old version though that they made back in 2003. The new one is called Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. From what I remember from the old one that I watched a long time ago the new one is a lot better.

Another random thought. My sister was commenting on how spicy our salsa is. I actually don’t think it was that spicy at all. I don’t know why I just don’t think it’s that spicy. I don’t dislike it though I actually think it’s pretty good salsa. Better than that non-spicy stuff we were getting for a while. I mean isn’t salsa supposed to be hot? >.>

I accedentaly brought another glass of apple juice downstairs when I already had a cup down here already. That is the second time I have done that this week. At least it’s not full of apple juice like it was last time ha ha.
