This chair is trying to kill me




No, really. I'm at Tess's school's computer lab and the chair (tis a computer chair) is trying to kill me. It's one of those chairs that can be adjusted for height. Except it automatically pushes itself up to max height when i stand up, and sink down to the bottom when I sit down! It's trying to kill me! Ahh! And I've realized something. I can't spell. I mean, I can spell basic things, I can write a boring, nonsensical blog entry without having to consult spell check. But when it comes to writing OTHER stuff (yes, FANFICTION stuff), I find my vocabulary lacking. And my spelling. And it shouldn't REALLY bug me that much since the mistakes aren't major...but it's the principle of the thing.


Feel afraid, Majo is writing again. Actually, I haven't had a chance to DRAW anything for the longest damn time and I'm beginning to feel it. Is it natural to suffer from art withdraw? More and more I'm finding my fingers itching to just doddle something. ANYTHING. Unfortunately that 'something' happens to be either Squall or Laguna right now, and I cannot do those two justice. Until I work up the courage to mangle the two most handsome non-existant (since they are not 2D anymore) men I know (for now), it'll be random doddles of probably Rinoa. I haven't been able to bring myself to mangle Selphie yet. I just love that girl too much.


What was I saying? Oh, yes...writing. I'm writing a FF8 fic. Hopefully for the fandom, it'll never get finished and remain stagnant on my laptop forever. Here's to hoping.


Other than that, I'm fairly content. Still have a giant load of random errands to finish, not to mention I am beginning to go batty over the status of our bathroom. Or at least, the status of the bathroom connected to the master bedroom. We (my brother and I, though I recall that I did most of the work) took down the panels and rewall-paperd the one side, and now I'm trying to get the panels back. Sounds simple? Ever try to match paint just from memory? Yeah, simple. YEAH RIGHT.


No, I'm not stressed. But I am a bit hungry...enough that I just might go blow a few bucks to eat out for dinner. Blah, whatever happened to stingy Majo? Well, she DID go to college for two years and picked up that bad habit of laziness. Cooking is wonderful sometimes, but other times it's just a pain in the ass chore. Also much nicer to have a mom around to pamper you. Dang, the more I think about it, the more I'm starting to believe that my first week of summer vacation was the most wonderful. I love my mom's cooking.


On a completely unrelated note: I backed up my pictures. Correction: I backed up the pictures I had online. There were 200+_of them dang things...scary, ain't it? And those are the ones that I deemed worthy of being online. I still have to dig up my zip disk from who knows where and see what lurks THERE. Maybe this recent bout of creativity via-writing is brought on by the realization that my art overruns my writing, at least in the quantity section.


I'm rambling now, ugh. And yes, this entry/rant/whatever is NOT brought to you by the blockquote tag. It didn't indent. Pooey. I kind of like the narrower, column look though. Gotta go. Ja

Life isn't a Roller Coaster? Yeah right!


Hello all, anyone miss me? Yeah right. *snort*. Anyway, life's been insane lately. For the past 20 days, to be precise. It was already hectic even after my dad left...To make a long story short: No one will be living in our house once my bro and I go to college for the fall semester. That is a bad thing. So we want to rent the house out, but only one room because that way we'd be able to come back during vacations. Simple, right?

Not so simple. We couldn't find someone that'd do that, that we also trust to not trash the place without supervision. All the candidates I had were either unemployed or couldn't afford the rent. So my dad decided to sell the house. We get a broker, get the sign up, and for about four hellish days, had people in and out looking at our house. Not to mention a bunch of things like fixing drywalls, installing swamp coolers, doing some wallpapering and repaneling... It was a very unpleasent experience for me.

My brother decides to come down with something that keeps him in bed for about a week, moaning and complaining about how it sucks to be sick. Yeah, it sucks to be STUCK with someone who's sick, all the while trying to clean house and prepare for moving out. Bitter? Me? Nah.

At that point I had pretty much given on a miracle (finding someone who'd rent just one room in our house), so of course the miracle just had to happen and laugh in my face. Not that I'm TOO unhappy about finding someone we can rent to, it's just that the final judgement call fell on ME and I hate making decisions without all the information. And I didn't have much information at all.

So now, after about two nights of no sleep, everything's starting to settle down. We're going for the renting/leasing instead of the sale, and all that's left is hammering out the details of Do's and Do Not's for rental. Of course the Lease Contract is 4 pages...I didn't think fate would go easy on me now, of all times.

No time to write or to draw. Found some good fics though, for FF8. I'm on Disc 3 and having this distinct, heavy, uncomfortable feeling in my stomach that I'd missed something terribly important, involving Laguna. I LOVE Laguna (and Squall too, tho in this case the 'like father, like son' doesn't really apply that directly) and I DON'T want to miss anything! Especially cool FMVs of him! Ah, well. At least I got Squall up to having 9999 HPs...

Going back to bed now, having gotten up after getting Grandma's call. This entry is brought to you by the blockquote tag. Honestly. That's the one I've been using to indent (hopefully). Hope it works.

Moving sucks. Gotta sign stuff today. Don't want to have a garage sale...@_@

And I'm doing bad HTML by not making the tags all caps. So sue me, i spent all morning organizing the house so the broker will be able to walk around and do a visual inspection today...@_@. Then I spent another hour in front of the computer backing up nearly all my pictures (I know I missed some...have to go find them soon). I'll need to burn them onto a CD soon...and not forget the ones still in some other folders. Moving sucks, majorly. Life sort of sucks too. Today's friday, it's not supposed to suck!^^; Well, hopefully I'll see some nice people online and my bro will be gone so I won't have to fight with him for the computer...

Here's links to the hibiki pic I did after AX...the one I made to console myself for having sold the first one^^:;;;; I'm weird

Usual warnings about angelfire roadblocks.

And I finished my first fic in a long, long time, last night. Tis the sidestory of Inversed w/ Valtierra and Garv and Zira. Those interested can go to:

Not sure if Angelfire can roadblock that...^^;
That's it for now. Might scan my Lina pic I drew while watching (re-watching...for the N-th time) TRY last night...

Thank goodness for air conditioning...

Insanity continues here, as well as really high temperatures. I'm really missing my laptop now, because it just feels weird to be on the big computer all the time. Still trying to clean house, throwing out a lot of tapes today. Wondering what'll happen to my fansubbed tapes, probably will either give them away or keep at friends' houses so they'll get watched before the heat kills them. My brother is trumping around in a towel. Honestly, guys are so weird.

It works, whaddya know...

Now the blogger lets me update...stupid thing^^; Though I have to admit this is the first time I've had a problem that lasted this long (oh, all of two days...) with Blogger. Ah, well

Anime expo is over, I'm exhausted, there's still a ton of stuff to do because we're moving/selling the house this summer, and no new pictures. I did pick up a dvd for Read or Die *cackle* and for the 2nd part of NOIR...*cackle madly*...and last but certainly not least...12 more markers! BWAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!....ok, that scared even me^^;;;; I sold two pics at the art show, the one of Hibiki-chan (nooooo! my hibiki-chan!!;_; Oh, well, I'll draw myself another one! `_') and the one for Triptych. When I went to pick up the pictures though the 2nd one wasn't picked up. That was at 12pm...the thing didn't end till 3pm, but the expo ppl assured me they'll contact me if it doesn't get picked up by the bidder. I almost wish it wouldn't be picked up...Feels VERY weird to sell pictures, yes...@_@.

Signing off now, to see if blogger is still working

Not going to AX today...


Gone to register for AX on the 3rd, and went yesterday (practically no traffic, yes!). But today friend got blister on her foot and there's no way she can wander the exhibit halls, or even leave her house like that, there's really no point in going alone, and my dad's leaving today so I needed to see him off anyway. Did get into the Art Show though, after waiting in line from 11am to 3pm just because I wasn't preregistered. Note to self: if doing this again next year, PREREGISTER!

Will go tomorrow. Still hoping to find Imp-san somehow.

One new pic, tis in pencil, and of Kenken again. http://www.angelfire.com/art2/chyu/images/kenken1.jpg. Dunno if Angelfire'll roadblock...


No more HTML class. Still practicing though.

Jaaa
