Hallo Hallo, my darling children! Yesterday... no, the day before yesterday... or maybe it was yesterday. Well anyway, I fell down the stairs. Only the last three though. It hurt, but I didn't bleed or bruise or anything. Meh.

umm... I watched Andromeda again on Sunday. Even though it's kind of... odd... and they have to either go to the past, or meet someone from the past, or something of that sort, every episode, I still dig it. The lady who plays his fiancée from the past is Kevin Sorbo's wife in real life, isn't that nice? Beh, but now that I know he *had* a real love interest he's even more of a manwhore XO

Lessee... yeah, also on Sunday, I went to see Tomb Raider o__o I didn't *want* to, but people call and invite me and I say "can't we go see something else" and the people say "it's too late to tell everyone and I can't get a ride home otherwise and we are sad because you never do anything with us so if you don't come see Tomb Raider we will feel rejected forever," or something to that effect. So I went to see it. ;o Actually, I enjoyed myself because Chris (not C. Reynolds but another) and I just talked (quietly) about the movie's shortcomings throughout. And Kat and I complained to each other about how there are like 10,000 guys in the movie and *all* of them are UGLY. It's like, the guys get to look at whats-her-face, and the girls have all these... mistakes of nature to feast our eyes upon?? It wouldn't have been too hard to have *ONE* hot guy!! And that one guy who was like the bad guy's "assistant" or something with the kind of long brown hair? Personally, I think "assistant" actually meant "abused sex toy". I mean, it was like, written on his face. He might as well have had a shirt that said "I am somebody's regularly abused sex toy." In my opinion. AiYAA that movie sucked. I mean, they didn't even *resolve* anything. And she's allowed to save the ugly boyfriend type, but NOT her dad? Oh, what's that I see? It's a two-story omnibus weaving in and out of the plot holes! Watch out, omnibus! You'll run into the stack of gratuitous shower/leather scenes!

...then after the movie we walked over to Barnes & Noble. I read Sailor Stars vol. 2 and Miracle Girls 2, and even though I'd already read it, I skimmed through Card Captor Sakura 3 again cos Touya is sooooo cool in it!!! I'd previously thought they just didn't have Sailor Moon, CCS, and Miracle Girls anymore at Barnes & Noble, but it turns out they just put all the shoujo manga in the children's section under "favourite series." ...whatever makes them happy, eh.

When they were first coming out, I bought the first 11 Animorphs books, but then I didn't read any more. But I heard the series is over. And now I kinda wanna read the rest. So maybe I will. Even though it's kind of embarrassing.

It's kind of interesting reading the unabridged Les Misérables after having read the abridged version during last schoolyear. So far, the major big things that have been cut out are the 50-page intro about Monseigneur Bienvenu, the bishop, and the really, really long explanation of Waterloo o_o Plus, I don't think the physical description of Javert was included, nor his origins. Umm... Javert is cool. And, most of the Cosette stuff before she went away with Valjean wasn't there. Oh, and of course the whole big Fantine exposition thing did not occur, making it kind of odd that the whole first section is called "Fantine" when in the abridged version she's in like twenty lines total ;o

This now makes me think of the part in "Confrontation," where Valjean says "In mercy's name, three days are all I need! Then I'll return, etc." What on earth could he possibly have done in just three days, unless he really wasn't planning to return and was lying to the good Inspector? AnJa suggests maybe he would go and get Cosette, bring her back, let Javert take him to jail, and then have Javert raise Cosette XD That would be sooo freaking hilarious. I don't even know why. It just would be.

I really want to write a fan letter to Brad Swaile. But I still don't know what to say. u_u()()()

OH YEAH! I got a haircut today! I was vain about my hair before the haircut, and now I'm still vain about it. It was almost to my waist, and now it's a little past my shoulders. Of course, that's less than a year's worth of growth, actually, so it's not a very big deal (although the hairstylist was having a heart attack from my cutting so much off). After going to the salon, mum and I went to the library to return the books we'd borrowed (as related in the first journal entry-- huzzah, for continuity!). By the way, everyone, read Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet and Spirit Brides. Or else. Oh, and also read Les Mis. And then after THAT we got gas! AnJa wasn't with us but I got her a bottle of Diet Coke along with my own bottle of Dr Pepper. Then I found out (after they were paid for and in the car) that mum hates it when we get bottles instead of fountain drinks. x_x I think I'm oversensitive... I always think mum is making faces about things or saying things in a somewhat mean tone of voice, and I hate hate *hate* being in trouble pretty much more than anything else. Except the devil, and the phone. Well, maybe more than the phone.

The air conditioner stopped working today. It was very unpleasant since it's 95-105 Fahrenheit at all daylight hours during this particular month of the year. At first I was just in here feeling that the temperature was unpleasant, and then mum and dad said something about "if it's too hot we can go somewhere for a while." And then I was all like "whoa" because I thought it had just been me. o_o So, we went to Kinko's, then to Marble Slab (since it was right there) and then to Target to get a new filter for the AC. At Marble Slab, I got peppermint ice cream with Heath mixings. I know it sounds odd, and it's a very unique combination of flavours, but it was actually really good.

So anyway, when I was up last night.. yesterday morning, rather... not going to bed the way decent people would, I watched part of Stephen King's The Langoliers on Sci Fi x_o That miniseries really sucks. The Langoliers themselves look like Pac-Man and a hairball had an illicit relationship. The only good thing about it is Bronson Pinchot, who was totally awesome, and Bronson Pinchot's paper-ripping thing, which was awesome too. The little blind girl really bugs me, especially the way she says "Something's really wrong." Then there are the plot holes, but whatever. Bronson Pinchot is cool.

I need to get a job in which I make obscene amounts of money. That's because I want a PS2, a Dreamcast, a Gamecube, DVDs, and manga. Certainly, I can save my allowance and stuff, but I'd really have to pick just *one* thing to buy since my yearly income is about $250. Even if I got a job, I wouldn't feel right buying all that stuff since I should be saving for college or something. And I want a laptop when I go to college, but those are sooooo expensive... so... I guess I'll just sit here and save my money for something. And get an obscenely high-paying job that involves very little real work. Ha, ha. Frederick the Great is cool, too.

I'm just rambling now... which actually isn't a *bad* thing. It's just that my stomach kind of hurts and the fan is blowing air into my eyes which makes me have to blink a lot. In FF8, I'm bummed that you don't get to name some of your party members... anyway, here's my name list so far:
Squall - Jackie
Rinoa - Ai Ling
Shiva - Yuki-Onna
Quetzalcoatl - Techalotl
Ifrit - Mukuku
Siren - Aluminium
Brothers - DaPlummaz
Diablos - The Dowhy
Carbuncle - Blackie
Angelo - Pu-chan
There, don't I give such great names? Next GF I get, no matter what it is, I'm going to name it "Thénardier."

So anyway, next year I'm going to Anime Expo. Hans-tachi are going as people from FFVII, and of course I want to as well, only... the person I could easily be with my looks is Aeris, and I hate her. u_u()()() ...Actually, I look even more like Shera or Lucrecia, but since that would just be me, wearing my glasses, white coat, and ponytail, nobody would even know as whom I was trying to cosplay. Then, I could cut my hair really short and dye it and be Elena or Yuffie, but my hair is so curly that I'm not sure it would *do* the Elena or Yuffie style... and see, I already *have* a Lady Une outfit. I saw pictures of people cosplaying as Une, and I was just thinking I look more like her than they do, and my outfit is prettier than theirs, and stuff like that. So, I really want to go as her. But I don't want to be the person who's not in the group not being an FF7 chara... and also, I'd only have to do a teeny red highlight thing, and I could very easily be Ranma-chan o_o It's too haaaaard!!! I know I'm gonna be giving myself ulcers over retarded stuff like this all year long.

Oh yeah, today I found out that I'm pretty much a schizoid, which means, apparently, that I do not feel emotion, or something, and that I think people are losers. Well, the latter part's true, eh. I find myself identifying so profusely with all these misanthrope types... like Jonathan Swift and Frederick the Great. I think Alexander Hamilton was like that, too. Jonathon Swift, Frederick the Great, and Alexander Hamilton are all cool!!! However, Andrew Jackson is NOT COOL. He's ANTI-COOL. Same with Aaron Burr. And Voltaire. Well, Voltaire's not so much anti-cool as he is a creep.

Did you know Micky Dolenz tried out for the role of Fonzy on Happy Days before being cast in the Monkees? (...isn't that FUNNY?! Can you even IMAGINE??) Today I was watching Happy Days with mum and AnJa, and it was one of those last-season episodes o_o You can always recognise when a show is dying... the signs include some of the characters forming a band... the cast taking a road trip... the studio audience clapping and cheering every time a character comes onto the set... you know, stuff like that. Oh, and flashback episodes. *nod* Crossovers, too, usually.

I wanna do the voice of Blink on X-Men: Evolution. At marvel.com, they have some videos of the voice cast talking and doing scenes and stuff and it's really cool... only... BRAD SWAILE ISN'T IN ANY OF THEM!!!! I call down curses on the heads of those who are responsible for his absence! I curse them to resemble goats in their youth and hamsters in their old age, and to have a documentary about their life made produced by Optimum/Cloverway in which they are portrayed by Uma Thurman!

...I *really* should be in bed. It's 3.34 am locally. Why am I a moron?
