You're gonna carry that weight.... Monday, January 1, 2001 05:55 p.m. We are the bloggy bloggy blogs! You're gonna carry that weight....

5 - the number of times I got kicked off the phone or Internet by some other family member.
80 - the percent my longass download of Microsoft Global IME was at, until my mom signed on to AOL, which kicked me offline.
3 - the number of times I've tried to download said program today o.o#
2 - the number of amazingly pissed off, incoherent rants I've written and deleted today
2 - the number of boxes of Kleenex I've gone through in the past few days ^^;
Here are some happier numbers: I got my new compy, courtesy of Brian ^_^ It's a PentiumII 450mHz, with 256mb of RAM. Quite an upgrade from the Celeron (celery ^^;) 300 with 64mb RAM. Yay! It has a DVD-ROM, too, which means that all the numbers on my paychecks are going to be sucked into anime DVDs ^^;;; I named the new compy Doroshii. We'll see if the name is appropriate ^_-
I'm feeling a lot better than I was. I even feel better than I did this morning. Physically, anyways. I think I am just too drained from being sick and such. I'm an overemotional wreck today....that's why I wrote two (two!) separate rage-y blogs that I didn't post, and I even cried today, twice. Yay for a fucked-up Juri. Whee. Well, we all have those days.
I wish Greg was online right now... hehe ^^; Lots of stuff I need to talk about, and none of which I can discuss in this blog. Ah, well. I'll write more later, sometime...
I really, really like my new compy :)
Audio: V6 - Change the World. I need something genki ^_- This song reminds me of the Mitsuwa trip when we heard it playing in the grocery store ^^
Yesterday would have been lots of fun had I been feeling well; my mom went on a 'Julie needs a makeover' crusade, which means I got some new clothes and a haircut courtesy of her. My hair is now a lighter red with blond highlights ^^; My mom wanted me to get my hair dyed back to its natural blah blond, but fortunately my cousin said she couldn't do that XD (My cousin is a salon manager at Ulta, so I got a nice swanky haircut ^_-) They also doubleteamed against me, chanting 'CHOP IT OFF! CHOP IT OFF!' but I managed to be steadfast in that regard. Even if they did mock me and my 'pink' hair.
Ok, I don't know why the hell I'm online. I turned the brightness on my monitor all the way down, and it still hurts to look at it. Maybe I'm just trying to sap my energy so I can get some sleep (something I got very little of last night >_<) So...I go back to sleep now. Oyasumi =_=
Audio: nothing :P
QUOTES! I know you all want them, so here they are ^_^

<puu> <sakura> she keeps herself locked in that room every afternoon
with a microphone and...er...wait, I don't wanna go there anymore.
( li looks disturbed at the mention of eriol playing the piano )
<juri> he always looks disturbed at the mention of eriol.
<puu> pianists are good with their fingers H_H

*********
one last quote upon puu's departure....
<puu> she's just like Eriol.
<juri> did you just say 'mm, tastes like Eriol??" O_o
Why do I have so many damned quotes in there? I really need to watch what I say more closely, I guess ^^;
Karen! You've got to scan in those cute pics you did of Vash and Wolfwood XD
Matt, don't worry 'bout falling asleep. I am usually the one to do that ^^; (ask Kristi!) That's why I didn't take any allergy medicine; I knew I'd be out like a light if I did that...We all have to get together again, ne? And thanks again for the treats! They disappeared rather quickly during Jubei-chan ^^;; mmm.....pocket bishy *_* With a name like Koinosuke, it's got to be good! ^_-
Hmm. Now I want to play Bust-A-Groove. I will get this game, and I will oWn j00 all! (Well, not really ^^;) And I am not that great of a DDR'er, so there :P Once I can pass a 10-foot song, I can be 1337 ^_-
Well, I am sure I will think up some things to write later, but for now I am out of stuff to type and I want to get these quotes up. So, until then, ja ne!
Audio - The Big O Original Sound Score... (all together now)...OUT NOW! XD
Party was TONS of fun! Thanks for coming, minna!
Yes, Gregly, I LOVED the movie, don't worry ^_-
My brother (whom I usually refer to as oni-ani) is a fuckhole, especially when he was spying on Puu and me. I'll write about this tomorrow...er, later today ^^;
Katherine, you left your random fun stuff CD's here! Gomen ne! I'll have to get these back to you...fortunately we don't go back to school for another two weeks.
Out of all the music we heard tonight, I managed to get Chokotto Love stuck in my head o_o;;
And finally, I'm too damned tired to move my bed back, so I'm gonna stumble into it. Oyasumi z_z And happy new year! :D
Audio: my sleep-deprived brain going 'desu ne, desu ne, desu ne desu ne desu ne!' =_=
This can't be good o_o
Granted, I am having tons of fun and lots of sparkles when I get to see Greg :) He's the one that makes me get out of bed. (Wait, that sounds wrong...) At least one thing in my life is perfect. But what is wrong with the rest of my life? Not much. I have some minor projects to get caught up on, but other than that, I should be in the clear, no really major worries. So I don't know why I'm bitchy and whiny and depressive >_< Somebody please smack me o_o I am in desperate need of it.
I can't wait for the party. It'll feel so good to laugh with you all ^_^ Fun times await! But at what time? What time are y'all planning on getting here, hmm? Puuchan will be here on the 30th, so if we can scrounge up a ride, we can all meet at Mitsuwa. I know UIUC Matt said he wanted to go too, so maybe he'll drive, right Matt? *shimmersparkle*
Hmm. what else. I did a quick sketch of the X-Japan bishy that was on Puu's blog (til she changed it today...er, yesterday :P) which can be seen here. Keep in mind that it was done on sugar at 2 am, it's really only 3" high, and it was just a torso study, so the rest sucks :P
Anyone want to give me money to register my other domain? ..... didn't think so ^_- I'll just have to wait til I get paid. I did work on my other sites today, though, but nothing to show for it. Yay.
What else? Nothing. Go home. Shoo! ^_-
Audio: nothing but my pounding the keyboard too hard (as usual)
AFAIK, the party's going to be here. We can all chip in $5 and get a hella big pizza and some cheap pop, and all sorts of fun stuff like that. I got a VCR for Christmas (wai!) so no worries there. I have a modded PSX so bring games (hint hint BAG2, kya-chan *_-) or burns of games, and someone please bring controllers, since I only have DDR pads and one crappy controller. Also, Puu-chan, if you can bring your non-taped-down DDR pad, I'd really appreciate it, since one of mine is on the fritz -_-; Bring whatever anime you think would be fun to watch (my parents may go see a movie so we have a good 2.5 hours of H-anime-watching time ^_-). What time is a good time for y'all to come here? I don't particularly care. I'm just excited about this party :D
Uhm...what else? I had a pretty good Christmas, although this weekend felt almost nonexistant, like I was floating through it unawares (thus the lack of blogging). There were some entertaining moments on Christmas morning, too. One involved a GIANT (about 4 feet tall) present for my dad that was sitting next to the tree for a week. My mom and brother made a huge fuss over it, telling my dad that he couldn't open it till last, and so on. Then my dad handed my brother the camera to take pictures, and my mom said "Be sure to hang onto the camera, Matthew, so you can take pictures when dad opens his refrigerator!"
And silence did fall upon the room...
And then much laughter. This was after my mom refused to tell me what was in the box because she thought I'd ruin the surprise :P I must say, I've never seen my mom turn quite that shade of red before XD
The other great quote came from my grandmother, who recieved a new page-a-day calendar and said "This is great! You know, my other one is about to run out..." _o_
Hmm....among my Christmas presents:
A VCR (wai!)
Toe socks (socks with toes in them, like gloves for feet) which I almost like better than the VCR XD
some PJ's and slippers and clothing-type stuff ^_^
A fun, fun game for us to play come New Year's >D Oh, the ecchi possibilities....
A huge mondo phone card for me to call all of you with :D
POCKY! I was shocked my mom knew what Pocky was. It was the closest thing to something Japanese I got that morning ^^;
ABBA and Queen CD's (yay for amazon.com wishlists XD)
and other assorted fun things.
What else to blog about? Not much. I think I'll shut up now ^_-
Audio: nothing. I'm on the momputer ^^;
I've spent the last couple days surviving the family party and staying permalatched to Gregly. XD Monday we all went shopping for Christmas presents; last night I had dinner with his supernice family and we DDR'ed, and tonight...more shopping ^^; Hafta buy a Christmas gift for my dad. It's not going to be easy considering my severe lack of fundage -_-; Stupid money :P
My monitor doesn't fit on this desk. Bah. It's not because my monitor is freaking huge (well, that's always a problem ^^;) but this desk is a cheap POS. My mother promised to let me pick out the desk, then turned around and bought what is possibly the worst desk to get for me. I won't go into detail, though, except to say that I don't know how I am going to get any Flash work done when sitting here hurts my back and shoulders >_<
Uhm...not much else to say. Broke as all hell and worried for my poor fishie's health in that teeny tank with no air pump...(need to get a tube but again, no cash :P) amd I am apparently in trouble for 'never being home.' This is a concept I fail to grasp, since I am home all day. It's not my fault that all my friends work and I can only see them in the evening :P
Oo! On a happy note, I passed Philosophy. I am utterly floored by this revelation O_O I was positive I was going to fail it! Yay for only failing 2 classes this semester ^^; I got a B in my Software Design class, too :D Woohoo! Ok, I'm going to go now. Ja~

Note: all typos in this blog are attributed to sleepiness. The author holds no responsibility for the lack of skills involved :P
As usual, I'm really cold. I hope Greg comes online soon. I feel bad that I woke him up when I called :( Gomen ne!
I had to give one of my coworkers my LILT key, since another coworker borrowed his and left, and I (hopefully) won't be around to close the lab. My keyring is going to feel empty all through break now ;_;
In other news, I managed to get an incomplete from my nihongo sensei. Wai! Now I can redo all the stuff I missed, and hopefully pull of a better grade than the D I am getting right now. My break is going to be full of grammar. Soooo beware, #y-gumi, because my catchphrase is going to be 'shitsumon ga arimasu~~~~~ *pleading look*' Woohoo.
And now for the sparkly section of this blog. Run while you can!
I've been avoiding talking too terribly much about how sparkly I've been in this blog and online, because I know how annoying that gets to people. It used to annoy the crap out of me, too. That's why I am giving you the warning to run now. Why is it that I feel free to bitch and whine and moan in the blog and on IRC, but when I am incredibly happy, I feel the need to clam up? I've always been like that, and I don't know why. Maybe because to me, babbling about how much I'm in love sounds akin to bragging, something I try to avoid at all costs. I don't know o.o But I just want to say (again, I know I've said this before) that I am just floored by the events of the past few weeks. I feel like this semester wasn't properly mixed before serving; all the bad stuff happened at once, without the good stuff to balance it out. I really managed to screw myself over because of that. All the little bad things (and the not-so-little bad things) added up and I didn't know how to handle them, which left me stuck in self-pity and without any motivation. I'm still trying to kick myself out of that hole, and I know that the break will help me to do that, since school-related stress was keeping me really depressed despite all the wonderful events recently. And now, I have ended up in the best place I could imagine, and that is with a wonderful man that seems to really, really understand me and care about me for who I am, without stupid games or any qualms at all. It's something amazing to me, so please pardon the sparkly cloud. Augh! I just don't know how to put in words the way that I am feeling. I just want you to know that I love you a lot, Greg. :)
