:: A Change! ^o^ ::

Wednesday/Aug 9th/5:37pm

Hiyas! I was bored, last night and redid the layout to be Firefox friendly. How many more times will I use this new table code? *eerily* Nobody knows... o_o I'll be adding more avies, laters. ^_-

Hiyas! I have completely forgotten this site! o_o Well, I've changed the MoTM to the coolest song ever (wait a while, I'll change my mind, when another song comes along. ;^_^), "Dreams" by Miss Shiva! ^o^
Now... the reason why I forgot this site? I've been busy... with a new person. I don't wanna give out too many details, but I will say this... if things keep going this well, I will have to get rid of my Grafe sections and secret Grafe shrine. o_o Sorry Grafe... you've served me well. But, I can't stay in dreams forever. -_- BUT, if you were real and I knew you, that would be a whole different story! ;^_^
Also... if this doesn't work out, I'll always have Grafe's number! *end of insane rant* ^o^

:: Quick Update! ^_^ ::

Tuesday/July 11th/5:59pm

Hiyas! I'll change the MoTM sometime later. I'm kinda in a rush, so I'll just let you know quick! I've just finished my Fruits Basket shrine! Whoo-hoo! ^o^ Check it out, even if you're not an anime fan! I have some extras there, that may be interesting. ^_- Link is: Adorable Love
And I took my own Furuba quiz. This is what I got:

Which Furuba Character Are You?

Hmm... why do I often get the male characters in anime quizzes? Odd... o_O

Hihi! I've changed the MoTM to "Battersea" by Hooverphonic! I love this song SO much! *hugs song* ^o^ I only wish it was a bit longer, though... o_O
Anyhoo... I've been keeping myself SUPER busy, indoors. Yeah, it sucks to be trapped indoors, because of the evil sun. I would go wave my fists at it and scream, but that would most likely earn me another heatstroke. ;^_^ Wait... what was I saying again? Oh, right... I've been staying busy! I really REALLY got into the Fruits Basket manga (japanese comics) and have been reading them non-stop! And today, I got my Fruits Basket carry bag, via UPS! Whoo-hoo! It's way too cute! I want to hug it too! ^o^
Other than that, when I take a break from reading, I'm working non-stop on a few new sites. Of course, one of them is a Fruits Basket shrine. Can you say, "obsessed"? o_o You betcha, I am! I've even made a Gravatar of Shigure... I'm so shameless! ;^_^ ...And besides sites and Fruits Basket... well there's nothing else left, but sleep and work. Yah... I kinda miss my social life. I hope summer will end soon. ;-_-

:: It's Been A Long Time... ::

Sunday/June 25th/3:40pm

Hiyas! I'm SO sorry for leaving the last MoTM on the site for SO long! I've changed it to "Nothing But You" by Paul Van Dyk! I hope you'll like it. ^_^
The reason why I haven't updated in a while is... I got sick! Yet, again, I know... last weekend, I decided to be macho and stay out in the sun, knowing that I get heat sickness so easily. Well, I earned myself a heatstroke. Yah... pretty bad. I assure everyone, this won't EVER happen again! I plan to stay under the AC all summer... well, except for the few moments it takes me to walk from the house to the air-conditioned car too. Hey, I still have work/a life too. ;^_^
But, what very few people know about me is, I'm a very sickly person. I've been hospitalized over 12 times, in the 25 years of my life. I'm no stranger to IV drips, blood tests, x-rays, and ect. And I often joke that the hospital is my second home. LoL! I don't know why that is, my family and docs think I may have an compromised immune system, somehow. But since I was a baby, I've been back and forth to hospitals. And even though I'm older, it still seems to happen. >_>
Well, there are some ups to being hospitalized... as weird as that sounds. I have unusually low blood-pressure, for one. So, I always get a great kick out of watching the nurses and doctors take my blood-pressure once, give me an odd (or sometimes horrified) look, then retaking it a few more times, thinking they made a mistake. ROTFL! The prankster in me always want to say in a eerie howl, "I am a vampire! Fear me! Whoooooooo!" But... I never do! That would be too mean, they're already freaked out enough. LOL! ^o^
And then there's the cute doctors, who always seem to have crushes on me! Though... the time before last, it was no fun. Because although the doc was cute, he was creepy. Ever seen the episode of "Seinfeld", with the "close-talker"? Yep... it was like that. ;^_^ Oh, I almost forgot, there's a game my family and I play in the hospital. It's called, "Which Doctor Or Nurse Looks Like An Celebrity"! So far, we've spotted Dr. Greene (Anthony Edwards), Jack (Sean Hayes), Cancer Man (William B. Davis), Scully (Gillian Anderson), Ross (David Schwimmer), and many more. Too many to list here. LoL! ^_-
Though, honestly, game or no game, I rather not be sick at all. But since that doesn't seem to be possible (btw, I eat well, exercise, and my place is spotless), I have to make the best of it. And humor is the best way to deal with illness, or so I've found it to be, for me. Okay... I've ranted long enough. See ya next update! ^_-

Sunday/June 11th/11:30pm

Nomally, I would change the MoTM... but I love this song too much, to change it. So... not just yet. I will soon, I promise. But first... I dance! *bounce-bounce* ^o^
Anyhoo... I've been sucked into a new anime obsession! The name of it is "Fruits Basket"! Yep. I've bought all of the dvd series, currently ordering the mangas (and a Fruits Basket carry-bag), and there's also a fan shrine I'm creating. Of course. ^_- I just LOVE this anime to pieces! Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I didn't stand a chance! LoL! ;^_^
Bet ya can't guess who's my favorite character! ...Well, besides Tohru, that is... guess! Go ahead... .... ....... it's Shigure! ROTFL! Yes, I know, Shigure's a perv. ;^_^ But he's so damn cute and he keeps me laughing! Oh, don't worry Grafe, I'm not dumping you! ...I'm just saying... >_>
Anyhoo, I've been coding my shine to Fruits Basket ("Furuba", as us fans call it) for four days straight! And it's almost done. I will post links, when it's ready. I'm so weird! I'm 25 years old and should be serious, but I still go ga-ga over anime, just like I use to for Saturday morning cartoons. *sigh* Oh, well... I guess I'm still a kid inside. ;^_^
Oh... and my trip to Japan may be sooner than I had planned. I've managed to make some friends there (from the military) and they're offering to show me and my sis around Japan, whenever we're ready to fly over. And they say we can stay on the army base (in the guesthouse), if we like. Which means, I don't have to save up for hotels. Cool, huh? ^o^
Most likely we won't make the trip this year (I have that new job and I haven't finished saving for souvenirs... And sis is going away to school, soon...). But next spring /summer looks very good. Well, I'm off to party for a while, before the weekday starts. ^_-

Thursday/June 1st/11:45pm

Hiyas, everyone! I've changed the MoTM to "Without You Near" by Markus Schulz Ft. Departure. It's raining here in Philly, so it seemed like a good song for the occasion. Yes... I am weird. >_>
Anyhoo... I've been SO busy lately. CRAZY busy! o_o With my new job and all, keeping up with friends, trying to stay sane. LoL! This new gig of mine, let me tell ya... Flexible hours and I have a choice of what questions to answer or not. Seems fair, right? o_O Because, I don't know everything there is to know... And BEWARE of people who claim they know everything! Seriously. o_o
But, as I was saying, this is not an easy job. I have to put in some serious thinking, because I don't want to give away bad advice and I want to give these strangers 100% reliable information, like I do so easily with my friends and relatives. Yep... it's one thing to give friends advice, just a little bit more tricky with complete strangers. But so far, I've only got easy ones, only a few ones I couldn't answer. ^_-
Hey, that's the thing about me... If I don't know about something, I won't speak on it. And I won't do what my older brother does, pretend to know about it and give out false guesses. That's just wrong... ;-_- Well, I'm exhausted! Time for sleep! See ya... next year? o_O ROTFL!

:: Something New! ^o^ ::

Monday/May 21st/12:10am

Hi-hi! *bounce-bounce* I've changed the MoTM to "What Else Is There" by Royksopp. I happen to like this one, I hope you do too. ^_-
Anyhoo... something new has happened to me, over the weekend. I've been offered another job! Whoo-hoo! ^o^ An online Counselor magazine is looking for an advice columnist. And since I'm always giving advice (via forums, chatrooms, etc.) someone noticed! My new boss says, "We're looking for someone who's down-to- earth, who's non-counselor, to give good advice on life. And you give GOOD advice." I was speechless, to say the least. ;^_^
I mean, I give advice for free and all the time, since I was a kid. It's just part of me, I guess. But for it to be an career? o_O Weird, yet exciting! Of course, I agreed, after going over the details. I will keep my old job (hey... it's boring, but it pays too well. ^_-) and do this advice column on the side. I wish I could point ya to where this new job is, but I must remain anonymous. I'm so excited I could explode! Whee! ^o^
Okay... I'm done bragging. ^_- Have a great week everyone!
