This really nice lady in World of Multimedia class who's interested in cinematography works for an independent health care place (I can't remember the services at the moment) and she was saying how she thinks a web site would help out her business..other students said they could set up her site for 150-300 dollars..heh..One Page Wonders (dad's company he wants me to work for) offers one page templates for 25 dollars (10 dollars to the designer, 10 dollars to the person who sets the page up, and 5 dollars to the company) ..I told her I would set one up around 20 dollars for a template, which could use iframes..then since her site probably needs to be updated somewhat often, I suggested 5 dollars a month (it may become 10 if there is A LOT of updating)..but still, it would benefit her company (search engines getting more people, people can have the business' info at their finger tips..)..I can get a domain name and space for 40-50 dollars or less that can give her e-mails for the staff and lots of space for information..I'm keeping the cost low because updating wouldn't be hard..especially with Front Page and iframes..if I can't update using Front Page, I could easily do it on the net during classes or my break with HTML..I would get 40 - 100 dollars profit for one web site for the year..doesn't sound like much, but I might raise it for newer "clients" as I learn new things, but I won't raise it for the first few people I make sites for unless they need more space or something..I'd do it for free, but If I'm going to maybe do this kinda work for money while I go to my next college (be that CADD or Kent) I need to get use to requiring a fee..

*Steam coming out of my nose*

Who did it??? Who plugged me? I wanna know, cuz I've gotta give them a HUGE plug for somehow getting Whatever Creations to get over 50 hits yeasterday! I've looked on some of my links, but I don't know who it was.. :o( BUUUT I'm happy :o) that I got my new layout up! It only took 3 hours to make and 7 hours to set up!! Quickest, biggest, and most complicated layout I've ever made! Wee! Now, on to making those layouts I promised I'd make other people..I would tell you about Thursday and Friday at school, but that would be about 7 pages worth of writing..the main things were that my 2D Design teacher looks like Supernerd from Pokemon, but he sounds really nice looking..can't really explain it..there's a deaf guy in my Design class that looks like D.W., but has a little more weight..there were two translators there to sign everything the teacher said..I think one was a trainee..they took turns and after 2 1/2 hours and one 10 minute break, their arms were TIRED..you could see them get worn out..and the guy had to write notes AND watch them sign and later was saying how the teacher talks FOREVER!..my layout was based on the whole unity/variety/direction thingy we learned..Can't believe art supplies (not all of them) cost me 100 dollars yesterday..on Friday the big thing was meeting this one really nice looking guy (oh my gawd, why do I like him SO much???)..he's really nice and has a great smile and looks a little like Eric from Big Brother 3! Too bad he's married .. grr .. *supressing mean daydreams* .. lol ..in English, I'm surrounded by cute guys..the one that sits behind me smokes..I didn't know until he accidently touched my hand..it wasn't until THEN that I SMELLED the cigarette smoke..my nose is weird..at least it wasn't strong..then, the guy down the way has these REALLY great doctors' hands..yeah, long story..he helped open my Pringles..My vertigo started back up on Friday..I think it was the bad weather..the clouds were really low..I kept feeling like I was on an elevator and my keyboard would move..heh..watch us have an earthquake..lol..another LONG story..did you know that a small can of Pringles has less sugar and more calories than a Snicker's bar? That sucked..That's about it for now..hmm..I'm pretty sure it was that cute married guy in my dream last night..

I got home at 7:00 or so and fell asleep at 11:00pm so I had no time to blog..after my last post, I decided to travel around and went into the bookstore not realizing I dished 30 people..I was looking for something to do..couldn't find anything, tho..but the people that work there are so nice! I went there once before and within 5 minutes, 2 people asked if they could help me find books..I went yesterday and someone asked if I needed any help finding things..I told them I was just looking..I noticed 5 minutes later that there were a lot of workers all around helping new students find stuff :o) Columbus Statians are so nice! I almost went to the Cafetaria but decided not to..I went back to the library, finding nice places to take pictures of on the way..when I got back to the library the porn guy and the girl who talks to air was still there..I played Collapse for about a half hour and went to PC Applications..the class had people in it and there was a middle aged lady and another person my age standing outside..I asked if that was a class and the middle-aged person (who I thought was here to picked up her child) was saying "It looks like it.." I got in a conversation with her..she's really nice..She ended up being a student..which is cool..other students waited outside the room..the bell rung..instead of the "Fire on 4th street!" Bell it was a "ding"..then the teacher (who reminds me of a down to earth Mr. Addin't'n) started class and we all rushed in and he was like, "You were waiting for the bell??" It was funny..I ended up sitting by another middle aged lady..Gawd! They are fun people 'cuz they act like kids!..She knew most of what we were doing..I tried to help her on some stuff..most of us students were WAY familiar with the computer..and the teacher said to "double-click" the link..I suggested "couldn't we just single-click instead?" .. This was going against my aunts advice about not talking back to the teacher..he actually thanked me at the end of the class, so it wasn't that bad..he wanted people to verbalize a lot 'cuz we were the "Village People" (reminding me of the Village People that were on the Caroline Rae Show singing "YMCA")..we help out each other..

[brb..gotta go to school..2D Design day!!!]

I'm back! as I was saying..the middle-aged lady next to me and I were like, the trouble makers of the class..the teacher said to go through clicking "File" and click"Print..." and stuff..I told the lady that all you have to do is hit the printer icon..she already knew that..it's kinda obvious..someone ele pointed it out to the teacher..I pressed the printer icon and the printer turned on..the teacher was like, "Someone pessed it didn't they? Did I say to press it? NO! Who pressed it?" the lady next to me rose her hand that she did and I said that I did, too..so it was funny..soon after that, everyone else printed out the syllabus..the teacher thought it was 2 pages, but someone said 8..the printer ran out of paper! We got some more paper so we could print out our assignments..the printer continued to print syllabi and class assignments (I didn't know we were supposed to print those!)..in the end, there were probably 20 extra syllabi..the class ended 15 minutes early and when the teacher was leaving he said, "No one felt they needed a syllabus, huh?" and I said, "I think everyone got one, those are just the extras."..I used my last quarter to call home to ask if mom called dad and reminded him to pick me up..she did..my dad was their a half hour early so that helped..I talked my dad's ear off on the way home in this high pitched manic talk that I usually do when i'm hyper and unfed..got home, blew bubbles for the cats..I'll do that again tonight, but since animals are conditioned SO easily, that if I do, they'll get disappointed when I forget..I watched the season finale of Big Brother 3 ("Hold on to the doggy Lisa to show that you love Eric!!!) and MDs..and then fell asleep on the couch..

The car was delivered at 9:30am..it's a silver PT Cruiser!! I still like my silver bunny car idea better..my wheelchair fit ok..we left home around 11:50am and got to school around 12:15pm..there weren't any parking spots where I needed them! We drove around back where we parked the last time near the Police Department..my dad had the van so we didn't have the handicapped parking tag thingy and my mom was paranoid that our car was going to be towed..the lady in the white van next to us was not handicapped or even had a tag..when she was getting in, my mom mentioned that she hopes we don't get in trouble for not having a tag..that's her way of making the lady feel guilty..the batteries weren't going on my wheelchair right and I called over 2 police people to help..the lady cop had choppy short hair and put her bottle of Dr.Pepper in the middle of the parking lot..she acted and sounded like a cop from COPS..after 30 minutes, and after figuring out that a bar is loose, I was on my way..I went to the bathroom and down an elevator, around a bend, out the door, up a ramp, took a left, went into the building, and stood in line for about 5-10 minutes..it was funny to watch impatient students decide to take the stairs instead..I went up to my class at 12:57pm and UH OH! Mac, Mac, everywhere a Mac Mac! this nice future cinematographer dude, who I'm sorry to say I forgot his name, helped move a chair out of the way..he looked like I young mix of George Lucas and Stephen Spielberg..ahh..geez..what can I say about Macs..I'm used to IBMs and Windows ever since I can remember..It took me about 5 minutes to get used to the Mac mouse!! it was clear with a read dot and instead of buttons, you just push down on the tip of the mouse..there wasn't any mouse pad so my cursor was sluggish..I would have changed the properties, but I didn't have a way to "right-click"..the operating system reminded me of Windows XP..the problem was that the close, minimize, and maximize (in that order) was on the other side of the screen..the Red, Yellow, and Green buttons were cute, tho..I DO like Macs' design..the "Power Tower" was round and blue with clear handles..the OS was nicely designed with the rollover effects of the shortcut menu..and the way it minimizes the window! So CUTE! The teacher came in at 1:05pm..the class supposedly started at 1:00pm..GREAT! I always hated High School where you had to show up on time..she even waited another 5 minutes for late students (because of parking, which she says that everyone drops out by the second week so there is a place to park by then)..class was easy, we just introduced ourselves and looked at the class website if you wanna see it: http://global.cscc.edu/mmpt/mmpt101) .. she made us take a 10 minute break at 2:05pm and after knowing what our assignments were, class was over..at 2:20pm! Not 3pm like it was scheduled..(actually, it just turned 3 as I'm typing this)..another student and I were talking to the teacher about keeping our computers on all day and unplugging them before a storm..the teacher said that she thinks she blew a modem in that last storm (I guess it was hailing here in Columbus)..I left and instead of going to down to the library like I planned to do, I went EXPLORING! there's a skywalk thingy right outside the floor I was on and decided to go down it..OH MI GAWD!!! I'm bringing a camera the next chance I get! IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE CITIES!! I found that the walkway leads to Level 3 of the Parking Garage (the now perfect parking spot for Mondays and Wednesdays!..I also ran into (not litterally) D.W. from school..he said that he had just come from Math and was going to English and that he was majoring in Political Science..He is gonna transfer in the Spring to Washington D.C...watch him become president someday..he's nice, so vote for him!! After I found out that it was a parking garage and not a building, I wanted to go back..but decided not to look like an idiot..so I decided to look like a BIGGER idiot and look out over the city..geez..another great picture! I can't wait to take Photography in a few years..after a while, I went back..and on to the library..I saw some people talking a different language..it sounded like Spanish, but slightly different and I couldn't understand them, so I think it could've been portugean..So I got to a computer and here I am blogging with nothing else to do for about 2 hours..imagine if I came here at 9am with Karah how bored I'd be..There is some guy that was here when I got here around 45 minutes ago and he's been looking at porn like, the whole time..I'm so far away that I didn't recognize it at first..(not that I want to look at porn..ew..especially GIRL porn..I'm not gay!)..all I can say is that the sites he was looking at had great video quality..I know that sounds gross, but I wanna know how to get video like that to work on my site..I do, however, love the freedom of College..at my high school, you couldn't even check your e-mail at the library, much less look at porn without getting thrown out of school..actually I doubt anyone could look at porn at my high school 'cuz of the protection software..sigh..geez, I'm oficially bored now..

Hmm..this girl across from me is talking..I don't know if she's talking to herself, the computer, an invisible friend, ghost, angel, or alien..but she sounds like she's mad at something..

What is this??? Usually fate works for me and everything falls into place so I hardly ever have to worry about anything..but for the last month I think it's been working against me because of the ride, student aid, and the car wreck problems making it almost impossible to go to college tomorrow..well, after all of that, the place my dad called to get a car delivered didn't have any cars and he didn't know this until it was too late to call somewhere else..he finally got someone to deliver a car........at 10am tomorrow..my dad needs to go to work at 5:30am..and we need a vehicle that can carry my wheelchair..my dad is taking the van and my mom is hopefully gonna shove the wheelchair in the back seat of a mid size car that HOPEFULLY gets here by 10am 'cuz I need to get to my first class by 1:00pm..the reason I have a bad feeling is that what if fate IS working for me and these are signs that something bad is gonna happen if I go..I'm gonna go no matter what 'cuz if something bad DOES happen..why would I wanna miss that? It probably would be interesting..

Well, I got the layout up..I tried to make it look almost gameboy like with the link highlight thingy..I'll be changing this layout in a week..my mom is going to the Apothecary tonight to buy me this "candy tree"..I guess it has a lot of assorted cndy or something..then I hope to get some more on the way home from my first day at Columbus State tomorrow!!! I can't wait!! The repeated thought of the moment is "If it's not one thing, it's another." because first, I couldn't find a ride to school..then my mom voluntered to take me the first few days hoping I can find someone their to give me a ride..then, my fees ALMOST don't get paid..they were paid on the deadline! Then, yesterday, my dad wrecks his car so right now he is trying to find a rental..geez..this is the one time fate is NOT working for me..

I added a Read called "You ARE the WEAKEST LINK!" it's fun to know how stupid you really are! go check it out!

I also now have a Countdown list and tag board look at the iframe on the right -->

Tay is like, one of the sweetest guys ever! Look at what he gave me here..I'm gonna make him one soon..I think it's neat that he can make people across the country know how nice he is :o)

I'll be putting up the [sucky] temporary layout in a couple of hours..the reason I don't like it is that there is hardly any creativeness put into it..and it just doesn't work for me very well..if you understand what I mean..I sure don't..at least it will give me a chance to add some things I've been wanting to add like "Right now" "of the moment" a tagboard and "Countdowns"..it will all be squished in the temp layout but will work well in the Holloween layout..

Update on what's going on in my life..nothing much..yet..last Saturday, my friends Kat and Karen (sisters) had a birthday get together..Kat turned 21 yesterday and Karen turns 17 on Wednesday..Kat was sick, her family thought it might have been her appendix (sp?) so she was asleep the whole time..I really hope she's ok..I kept telling Karen to poke her and her son who was asleep on the floor to watch them twitch or talk in their sleep..Kat woke up a little when I said that..lol..my dad was talking with their parents about computers or something and Karen and I talked about how it's weird that preps can "dress down" and still look good..while we non-preps dress up and still look worse than the dressed down prep..my description of a dressed down prep: tight jeans, big sweater with rolled up sleeves, and a sloppy bun..one of my nicer preppy friends' mom was telling me how concerned she was about her daughter not dressing up and that she could at least put make up on and put up her hair..I was like, Ok..(actually, I didn't notice..she still looked like a prep)..I'm not insulting preps..they're just lucky..I think I'm a prep in disguise cuz if I were thin and looked like a dancer, I'd be a prep..I love their clothes!!! the clothes I design are preppy..ok, hold up, when I say PREPS I mean Teays Valley preps..not the normal preps at other schools, I'm talking about show choir girls that are healthy looking, and a have perfect everything..perfect hair, perfect make up, perfect clothes..most of teays valley's are nice (especially the class of 2002 and 2005)..ok..enough about the preps..I just hope I make some preppy friends at college..ok, that's it! I gotta get off of this subject or I'll start wanting to wear too tight fitting clothes..lol..well, after a while Karen got everyone into the kitchen to eat..we ate a German Chocolate cake out of a box (the best kind!) that Karen made..it was GOOD! I ended up telling them my idea for a Candid Camera skit where you have a resturant named RESTROOMS..so people see it in a mall and there's a sign that says RESTROOMS --> and people go in there and find that it's a place to eat..the non-smoking sections and the booths look like stalls and there is a mirror on the connecting wall with a sink in front of it..the chairs are designed to look like toilets..some mirrors have lipstick writing on it and some of the stalls have your normal restroom stall writing..instead of being asked "Smoking or non-smoking?" you are asked "Men or Women's?" and that will make people mad that they can't eat together..all through out dinner you hear this loud toilet flushing and then when you ask to see the real restrooms, they tell you that there isn't any in the resturant..then the customer would be like "but what's that flushing sound?" and that tell them that's how they clean the plates..Yes, I know I'm weird..after a while CJ, Kat's adorable son gets his grampa to get this awesome train thing that has the alphebet, a clock, numbers, shapes, colors, animals, a mini keyboard with the solfege on it (you know, do re mi fa sol..)..dude! it's so cool! I played with it and my dad was like, "Did we deprive you when you were younger?" They didn't have toys like this when I was young..dude, when I have kids someday they'll have kiddie toys like this and also every kiddie toy instrument in the world (violin, drums, recorder, banjo, guitar, piano, keyboard, you name it!) I learned how to play music by ear when I was around 5 years old and that got me into music early and now I'm a wiz at math and it got me into finding out how things work without looking at manuals..at the party, I played songs like Frere Jacque and tried to teach CJ who is 2 a little bit of Mary Had a Little Lamb..Karen's dad did name that tune with Amazing Grace..but he did it by ear, so I couldn't recognize it until he figurd it out..I did name that tune with Have You Had Your Break Today? .. and tried to refigure out Jesus Loves Me by ear again..I almost got it when my dad, who doesn't know how to read music and hasn't been played on the keyboard forever, shows me how to do it correctly the first time he played! I must have inherited his long-term memory..Karen gave me the Pokemon Training books..wow! if I had those I'd be farther in the game..I had to learn all of the strategies and rules on my own..now with the book, I finally got a bike in the game..gawd that helps..I've been walking slowly for the longest time to get on the other side of the island..That's about as interesting as my weekend got..it was really fun to see my friends :o) I can wait 'till school starts on Wednesday! the nice girl that got her ID reminded me of the black girl from my dream..wouldn't it be cool if she was in one of my classes and we became friends?

I was Miss Navigator today! I have a habit of visually remembering places..I've only been to Columbus State a total of 3 times and I knew where everything was..We went there today to find my classes again, so I can remember where to go, and I wanted my dad to park in the front near Spring Street where they always drop me off..my dad missed the turn off and went around and parked in the place where they usually picked me up..I made a bet with him saying that that was a bad place to park 'cuz I'd have to go through a building, down an elevator, then outside, then into the building that my first class was in..OR go around 3 buildings to get there..Well, I won 5 dollars! I should've bet 50..I haven't lost a bet, yet with my dad..but in a way where he parked was good TODAY cuz registration and paying fees was in that area..it started to ran REALLY hard..good thing there were shaltered sidewalks everywhere..we went to the Registration place to see if the Bureau paid..THEY DID!!! If they didn't we were prepared to stand in this LONG line to get my fees paid..we stood there wondering if that was where you get your picture taken for the school ID..some nice lady comes the opposite way from the line and said that she stood in that line for and hour for getting her picture done and it wasn't there..

[brb to finish the blog entry..movie time!]

[I'm back]

The woman said that she was told to go to the Police Department, which I remembered was near where we parked and so we went down there and this nice old cop dude told me to go to Nestor, go down the the ground floor, turn right, and it's at Seminar K..We went and I went past K on my left and had to turn around..once I was there, we waited in line and there was a nice lady there saying that she's get out of my way and I was like outside of the room and so I was like, "you're leaving, so I'm getting out of YOUR way." she was nice, she showed me the ID and was really happy saying "this is my first one!" and stuff that's cool..I was like, "Why did it have to be rainy and windy on the day people get their picture?" At least the guy in front of me had a hat on..I found out soon after that, I needed to pay for my ID..I thought that was covered in the fees..guess not..so we went outside again..my plan was to go to my classes as if I were actually going, so I can remember where to go on Wednesday..on Fridays I had to go to the Library anyway and get on the internet for 2 hours when I have nothing else to do..so I was going to pretend it was Friday and go to the library and pay for the ID online..bad thing is by the time I pretended it was Friday, the library was closed..so I'll have to come back after school starts..One thing I like about Columbus AND Ohio is that I luckily meat mostly nice people..The strangers we met that day were very helpful and and would strike up conversations and stuff..I told the directions to the ID place about 3-5 times to people..I like doing that! I used to do that in Middle School 'cuz I was in VIKES and knew the layout of the school before 6th grade and helped people find where they were going..I also did that somewhat when we were at Reynoldsburg High I remembered where everything was, but that didn't stop my friends and I from purposely getting lost! The only other interesting thing that happened was that I accidently slammed the bathroom door on my had and took off a lot of skin..but that's about it..

Last night (Friday Still) We watched Lord of the Rings (GREAT cinematography! It reminded me of blends from blend challenges and I thought it was so cool how they made the hobbits look so small! one of my favorite sceanes was when that dark dude was looking over the ledge because he looked like the stereotipical Death or Grim Reaper image and it was freaky looking!), Fraility (I love movies that make you wonder what's real and what's not!), and Monsters, Inc. (For a kiddie movie, it had a somewhat of an adult plot..I liked it :o))..halfway through Lord of the Rings, I went to get some Fruit Loops to munch on and saw that the sky was orange..it kinda unnerved me cuz it was just after midnight..usually the lights from S. Bloomfeild and Ashville make it orange along the horizon and looking throught theKitchen window, you can see stars..well, last night I couldn't see any stars cuz it was SO bright! It was almost a sunset .. but at midnight? it was still bright at 2 am..geez..weird..

Well, that was my day :o)

I got my motorized wheelchair today..at first we had it on a high setting and it felt like a Univerasal Studios ride..then, after almost falling out of the chair and running over my cats, my dad said there was a way to adjust the power..I mastered the Chair of Doom the Second in about 2 minutes..It'll be fun to use at college and stores..but that means I'll excerize less because before I was so used to pulling myself along with my legs..my legs actually got better after a while and now, I don't HAVE to use my legs much of all..I just hope they don't get worse now..aparently we are still having trouble with paying my tuition..we got a reminder in the mail yesterday and it said that the quarter starts on the 25th..I thought it started on the 21st and have thought that for over 4 months..then today, I looked at a list of important dates that I received when I took the assessment test..apparently I was wrong and starting day has ALWAYS been the 25th..good thing cuz I wouldn't be able to have my dad pick me up on Tuesday and my mom would have to sit in the car for 6 hours to take me home..not anymore! :o) I'M STILL LOOKING FOR A RIDE THERE!!! If anyone reading this is from the Pickaway County, Ohio area and are going to downtown Columbus around 11 am on Mondays through Thirsdays, PLEASE contact me at whatever@whatevercreations.com .. I'll pay for your gas!!! Other than that..

I uploaded a new cam pic..I've already made a Monopoly Money Picture Tube and will soon have that, the Scrabble Letters, Monopoly Pieces, Monopoly Properties, Community Chess Cards, and Chance Cards picture tubes AND brushes!!! The only reason I can do this legally is because everything has the original copyright on them, I'm not getting any money for it, and the pictures tube/brushes are worth less than 1,000 dollars if I DID sell them..I found this out from the glossary of my E-Marketing book for Business and the Internet..it's legal under the NET (No Electronic Theft) Act :o) I think I read it right..I'll also put a tutorial up about how to make a brush or picture tube!

Whatever Creations has another sib site: Somewhere-Else.net! and I added Emily's survey answers!

First off, we have company because my dad is doing something with computers for this guy..usually when we have company, they stay for 1 or 2 hours so I just locked myself in my room and didn't get dressed because it's almost routine to be on the 'Net for 2 to 3 hours when I get up anyway..well, about 2 hours later, I hear this noise outside my open window..still being dressed in nothing but my night clothes I freak out because my OLD easy-to-open window is wide open and there's this strange guy right outside..I'm like, "Hello! Hi! Who are you???" and his reply was "I'm here looking at the basement walls, I didn't know anyone was home"..him saying that freaked me out more! Why would he be looking at our basement walls? And how could he see them through bushes and a cactus in front of the small dirty window that looks only into a room full of kiddie junk? How could he not know someone was home when I had the window open and music blaring? I told my dad and he thought it was funny that I was freaked out and said it was ok for that guy to be here..then why did the guy leave when I called for my dad? Weird weird weird..I AM SO HUNGRY NOW!! How can a person last most of the day on a small nutrigrain bar and Pepsi? I'm used to eating a little earlier than this..the guy my dad is working with (our company) has been here for almost 4 or 5 hours!!!! and he'll probably stay for another 3 while I starve to death (wait, a sec..I need to lose weight anyway)..until 10 minutes ago, I was sitting here in muggy 80 some degrees outside meaning that it was at least 90 here in my room..I know if I said anything about being hungry I'd be made to feel like I was selfish wanting company to go home so I could eat..hmm..I look like crap, so I don't wanna get dressed and go into the family room..plus, what good would it do when my mom doesn't like to cook or eat while company's here because of the times that we DID eat, we'd feel bad and offer food to them and my mom would end up having to make a large meal for them..Tho, I AM selfish 'cuz I got this thing where every day I drink Pepsi to wake me up and when I go to school, that's all I have until I get home..when we have company and offer soda to them, I get weirded out when they get the last Pepsi..it means I have to go to school with a headache the size of Alaska, depression, low blood sugar, and an empty stomach because I'm not hungry in the mornings and juice makes my stomach hurt, and how is water supposed to help??? At least now I'm going to college and I can go to a vending machine!!! But yes, because I get weirded out by someone taking the last Pepsi, that makes me selfish..geez..after finding a huge sore on my head (great, I have to get my picture taken on Friday), My mom finds out that the people who were supposed to pay for my tuition this quarter hasn't paid, yet..they have until Friday at 11:00pm I think..my dad says that my classes have probably already been filled so I can't get in anyway 'cuz I haven't paid, yet and my mom tried to convince him that they don't drop my classes until after Friday if I don't pay..after buying books and a bunch of stuff on Ebay, I'm down to 200 dollars with 30 dollars in Paypal..my tuition is over 1,200 dollars..I don't know if my parents will pay for it..I had to twist their arm just to pay for half of the books..of course then I'd have 400 dollars, but they ain't paying me in cash..they're making it so I don't have to pay next month's rent..doesn't help when I need 200 dollars NOW!!..does anyone know how I can earn 1000 dollars by Friday? It's times like these I wish I had a real credit card instead of a check card..my parents get upset like it's MY fault..SORRY if I spend a lots of money on Ebay when I KNEW other people were gonna pay for tuition..plus, the Financial Aid office at Columbus State is stupid..first, the way the online FAFSA form was written, I didn't know it didn't submit until about 4 weeks later..then I had to wait a week to sign something and my dad took it into CS who said it would take 2 weeks to know the amount of money I'd be getting..my mom called up because the people paying for my tuition needed that info to know waht to pay the school..appearently, even tho the online FAFSA said I was eligible for aid, CS said that the computer tells everyone that and by my dad's income, I'm NOT elegible for aid..so my mom told them to fax a letter saying I'm not elegible so we can send it to the Bureau (the people paying my tuition)..they send a letter forgetting the "not" part, so my mom calls them back up the next day (each time she calls, she's on hold for an hour) and end up faxing them the letter she was faxed to prove they made a mistake..she decided to just send that letter to the Bureau..two days later I get letters saying the school's Financial Aid office needed info for my parents and my 2001 Tax return, even tho I said that I wasn't going to file one and my parents haven't done it yet, so we don't have that info..plus why send it in when I'm not elegible..another phone call and they fax us the letter than my mom faxed them (it even had her handwriting on it)..she calls again and finally send the right letter..but saying it's for Autumn 2002 to Spring 2002..does that make sense? My mom just gave my another nutrigrain bar so she doesn't have to fix our company dinner..I personally don't blame her 'cuz it's hard for her to make big dinners and to do it on a whim is even worse..so now it's going up to 5 or 6 hours and he doesn't sound like someone who is going to leave soon..he was originally going to come last night at 7:00pm that would make it 1 or 2 in the morning now and my dad works..the company should feel lucky that my dad was sick yesterday so he was home when he came over..I'm getting dizzy..

Sorry I'm being so mean and complaining so much, but that's what the lack of food does to me..

I was filling out Kay's survey and one of the questions was, "I'm from West Virginia and yes we have shoes!"..You think that's bad? Well, I live in Ohio (Ohia to many of us fine folks) and when I think of our fine state, I think of the Crime Capital of the World and hillbillies! First off, if you watch shows like Cops, Real Police Videos, Unsolved Mysteries, and Real TV, you'll notice that the majority of the cases come from OHIO!!! The only good thing about it is that we CATCH our bad guys and thus have video to send in..we're hillbillies, too with a little "Ghetto" thing goin' on..My school has "Bring Your Tractor to School Day" and about 10 or so students (over age 16) participate each year..my dad came home today saying how he entered a "Cow Drop" contest..if you don't know what that is, it's where a field is marked off in to squares and numbered and the numbers are on the raffle tickets..they let a cow loose in the field for an hour..wherever he takes a dump, the corresponding square and ticket holder with that square's number is awarded 1,000 dollars! If the cow doesn't poop within the hour, they count the square the cow is standing in..if he poops one than one time, judges decide which pile is bigger and that ticket holder is awarded!..isn't Ohio a lovely place..and the only "Ghetto" influences we have are from the students from Columbus who bring some of the slang and bad grammer..it's gotten so bad that I think this sounds ok: "We was driving down the road and our car stalls!" I guess that's wrong and is really supposed to be, "We WERE driving and our car STALLED." whatever..

I've decided to move the domain over to ICDSoft as soon as my time with iPowerWeb is up..it may cost me more, but I can offer more to the hostees..

I updated my cam and put one of my nude drawings on it..actually, in the Design Manual, one of the first pictures is a naked tatooed women with a guitar covering her up..it's really neat looking and I'll probably use it for my AsIfMusic.com layout..

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! College starts in a week!!! I can't wait! I had a dream last night of being in High School senior english..but our teacher was an old lady and we had art class desks..I was trying to find someone to sit next to..I didn't wanna sit next to the REALLY preppy people..I was friends with them, but I'd feel like an outsider..I went to another desk with friends I used to know but we weren't very close anymore..so in the end I sat with people I didn't know..they were girls..both with round faces..one had red hair and the other one was black..we got along really well..we had to change seats and the teacher started to recite a nursery rhyme..the rhyme was posted to a metal cabinet with magnetic letters..things kept falling and my new friends and I kept giggling..I hope this dream is like one of those of mine that actually come true in a way..maybe a week from tomorrow when I have my first class of 2D Design, my art class with the desks, I'll meet and make two new friends who look like the ones in my dream!

Speaking of dreams, I was just listening to Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-a-Lot from my One Hit Wonder collection thingy and it reminded me of the time I had a dream that I was on a date and my date started singing that song..I honestly thought it was so sweet..I think the weirdest things are sweet..I think one of the sweetest gifts I could receive from someone is a ham sandwich because at least they made the gift!

I changed the sib sites to be domains only and the other original sib sites are now affiliates..I added a read Bible Questions..

I reloaded my cam pic so that it didn't have to be right next to the girl with her hand down her pants on Camspot.com..I'll be making a new can pic soon..

Added a cam to my portal..the infamous Natalie @ Blinkybonk!

That's about it for now!

Hostees alert!

Current songs in my head: Video Killed the Radio Star, Cars, and Kung Fu Fighting (otherwise know as "Kung Fu Fiahting")

Alex made a new site:

It's a Kelly Clarkson fanlisting!

Weird (very weird) thought of the day:

You know on those old Sci-Fi movies and shows where humans are "fattened up" so the aliens can eat them? I was eating chicken today and was thinking, why do they want fat humans when the fat of the chicken or pig is what I DON'T like? My dad says the fat is what gives it more flavor..well, still, shouldn't sci-fi shows show slightly fat people RUNNING around I mean, the aliens would make the people stay somewhat in shape so that they have a LOT of meat and enough fat and not just a bunch of fat and a little meat..even tho I remember in Foods class that the more excerise to the muscle, the tougher it is to eat..well, I'm not a cannibal or anything, my REAL question is this: Why don't they excerise the cows, pigs, and chickens so the farmers can sell more meat? I mean get two people to feed the chickens by having one guy on one side of the farm and have the other guy on the other side of the farm..the first guy gets the chickens to come over and eat..then the second guy throws down his feed when the chickens run out of feed on the first guy's side..keep going back and forth like that and you have RUNNING chickens and thus bigger thighs!!

I was going to write about how I'm a control freak and get seriously depressed when I don't feel in control of my life..I don't wanna control OTHER PEOPLE's lives, just my own..but it's too depressing..lol..
Other than that..

Current song in my head: My Sharona

Ma, ma, ma, my Sharona! My, my, my, yie, yie, yeah, WOO!

Another 2 hostees are done with their sites and one is gonna make a review site..the only reason I let there be 3 reviews sites on here is because the hostees all have different personalities and views, so their reviews are totally different sometimes..

I bought http://asifmusic.com..web hosting provided by ICDSoft..I was thinking about changing whatevercreations.com over to their server in April when my time here at ipowerweb is up..it cost me almost 100 dollars for one year (it may have been extended because of a phone call they made trying to keep me with their service..they offered me 6 months free..so it may be October 2003 that I may switch servers..ipowerweb has been good..the server was only down twice and that was for like, 2 minutes at a time..I got 150 MB of space and unlimited FTP accounts and e-mail..ICDSoft offers 333MB of space, unlimited e-mails, and a domain name for 50 dollars (I signed up through my dad and got a 15 dollar discount)..it was up in 24 hours..the only problem with switching whatevercreations.com over is that instead of http://whatevercreations.com/aidesigns, it would be http://aidesigns.whatevercreations.com .. I guess it'd be ok..I could just set up folders where the accounts would have been and redirect it to the new address..the big problem is that after 5 subdomains, they are 5 dollars a piece..I currently have around 10 hostees..that's 25 dollars..if I deside to make my sites as subdomains, it would be 50 dollars..

Just listen to me blab on and on about something I don't have to think about for over a year..

My dad showed me how to publish my files from my old Lyric Freaky site on Geocities to my computer, so I won't have to re-type over 200 songs worth of lyrics..I'm signing up my domain name soon and I want feedback from my visitors.,

What domain name should I register? (answer in my commenting thingy)

1) AsIfMusic.com (LF would be lyric.asifmusic.com .. this goes with Whatever Creations)
2) FeakForever.com (LF would by lyric.freakforever.com)
3) Freak4ever.com (LF would be lyric.freak4ever.com)

I like the last two 'cuz say I have a hostee that made a Justin Timberlake site..their address could be Justin.Freak4ever.com cute, eh?

Two of my hostes got their sites up, so I'll make them a tag and announce them tommorrow..

Nothin' much to say..I got my other 2 books for school yesterday..THEY'RE SO COOL! They're like a spiral notebook..they even had tabs! The book for PC Applications shows that I know everything up to chapter 5..ch1 is using the mouse and desktop, ch2 is using folders, ch3 is the introduction to the internet, and ch4 is how to use Microsoft Word..ch5 is Excell and my class did that in 7th and 8th grade, but I haven't used it since then, so I forgot it..we learn Front Page and Power Point in PC Applications, too..I've been using Front Page for about 2 years now and last April, I taught myself Power Point in about 3 hours..like my dad says, it's very similar to Front Page..

On Monday, I'll try to make the layout for What's That Got To Do With Pillows? (the review site) and Lyric Freaky will be remodeled and opened some time in November/Early December with a Christmas Song layout..I'll have the songs from my CD collection and MP3 Playlist (1997-now pop music/some alternative), Songs from soundtracks and musicals, hits of the 50s, 60s, 70s, and One hit wonders (many are 80s)..I will also have "Patroitic Songs" "Kiddie Songs" Christmas and Love songs..Heck, I might have to buy another domain just for the site..That would be cool..and if there was room left, I could host music related sites!!! Wee! But what would I call it? asifmusic.com?

I feel like writing about what happened to me on 9/11/01 just like everyone else is doing..my story's uh..a little different..

Morning: at 4:00 am, high on Pepsi, I wrote about how fighting is necessary for change and how I rather the fighting be in words and not in violence..I wrote about the pattern of fighting about how there was fighting crated by racism in the 60s, now it's the intolerance of gays, and in 20 years it will probably be about religion..Well, I was 20 years off appearently and I never got to turn in my report that day..

The first 2 periods were normal as can be..

Chemistry Class (3rd Period) we talked about making "gold pennies"..they were really brass, but looked golden and we were suppoed to learn about alloys..we started on our lab and Kirby was working with my aide and I..I remember that she burnt her penny and I wanted to give her mine, but she refused..when her penny burned, Elena, my aide, impulsively tried to pick it up to look at it and tried to cool it down and hold it in a paper towl..it burnt her hand! (it sounded like something I would've done, to tell you the truth)..a male teacher came in the room and turned on the TV and said, "The tower was hit!"..my chem. teacher was astonished..the male teacher ran out to go alert the other teachers..we saw an image of a plane hit a tower..some of my classmates and Elena said that it had to be a computerized reinactment because there is no way they could've gotten that kind of footage of an "accident" like that..well, what we saw was the second plane hit..at first I didn't recognize the towers, I'm from rural Ohio, and I haven't seen a lot of New York pictures..it wasn't until later that the started saying "World Trade Center" and I saw the windows that I realized what they were..after the second plane hit, a few guys in my class were yelling, practically cheering, "World War 3!!"..the teacher kinda got mad at that..class ended soon after that..

English (4th period) .. on the way to the Ag Building (the temporary placement of my class), I got a Snickers bar from one of the vending machines..when we got to class, people were coming in late because people were stuck in their 3rd period class watching the news..the people that were there were talking about how freaky it is..The teacher told us to go to the Shop Class room to watch TV..I ate my Snickers quickly and went..we were watching the news on the large TV from the library and people from Welding, and Ag Mechanics (or some other ag classes) came in the room and stood in the back be hind me..there wasn't any more chairs..Mike E. sat/leaned against a table behind me..we watched and all of a sudden, the first tower went down..I heard some people gasp and softly say, "Oh, my God!"..the news reported said, "The Towers were once the tallest buildings in the nation.." and Mike said, "That's until two planes ran into them!" He didn't say it very loud, but it made me laugh a little..I totally respect that, too! I mean, it's not like us Ashvillians can help at the time, and being depressed sucks..so the best thing to do is make jokes about it..it atleast gets people to stop thinking about it for a second or two..after the second building collapsed, one of the shop guys were like, "Well, let's get back to having fun with our drill bits!" ..that was funny, too..I left early for my next class..

Women's Chorus Choir (5th Period) .. everyone wanted to watch the news, but the teacher said that we can watch it in all of our other classes..

Lunch (6th Period) .. the TVs were on and people were watching them..

American Government (7th and 8th Period) .. We watched the TV and the teacher explained some things to us about way this might be happening..Mike and Mitch came in during 7th period to watch TV and Mike asked about something pertaining to American Government (I just can't remember what it was..)..they left, I guess for Men's Chorus and we continued to watch TV..

Algebra 2 (9th Period) .. Normal math class..my friend (along with a few others during the day) told me that they had weird feelings/dreams about this happening within the last few days..my friends are psychic, man! How cool is that?? Except for the fact that they are sensitive as well and those feelings/dreams and the current situation was very draining to them..we kinda didn't talk about it in that class..

Foods (10th Period) .. I can't rmember much except that they canceled all afternoon sports..

Home .. I watched TV (my big screen)..

Well, that was an interesting day that didn't need to happen..Darn terrorists! TERRORISTS SUCK!!

Ok people! EVERYONE seems to have shutdown their web sites in rememberance of the WTC Attacks..I'm sorry, but I don't believe in doing that..in the words of my english teacher about 3 days after the tragedy, "The terrorist wanted to shut down America, but they're not gonna shut down my classroom!" Well, they're not gonna shutdown my website, either..I'm calling today "Terrorists Suck" Day!! I say keep your site up, DON'T stop your normal activities..I agree with the moment of silence and praying and memorial services, but at least keep going..Everyone is nervous, too..I guess in Rhodes Tower in Columbus there was this weird guy on the 28th floor and this lady asked what he was doing there and he said, "Installing a bomb." That guy is psycho!!!! They cleared the building and the surrounding streets and the police think there might be explosives in his van..I'm, like, hello! That guy is dumb confessing to installing a bomb while he was on the 28th floor..number one: the bomb is either small or won't go off for a while (the dude has to get out of the building)..number two: he's dumb (saying he's a bomber and making people suspicious) and only one person (probably a small bomb)..what I think they should wory about is maybe this guy is a decoy or something..he WANTED people be nervous and he WANTED people evacuated..how do we know that the mastermind of this plot hasn't already planted a large bomb in the place of where the crowd of evacuated people are? God, I hope not..other than that, this guy could just be playing a prank and seeing how people react..

Well, anyway, I made a new cam pic..this one celebrating Terrorist Suck Day..that's not my hand or burning flag..my dad's a little weirded out by my wanting to burn/desecrate the flag..I'll put my Robin Williams cam pic back up in a few days..I also change the Carzy Cam Contest to a 9/11 theme..I thought it made more sence..the Fun Fan Cam Contest will be next week!

I updated my cam and added 2 contests!! The weekly Crazy Cam Contest and the monthly Lovely Layout Contest..Ilaria has a new site Overprotected..other than that..

About 5 days ago I ordered 5 of my 7 books for school..they came the next day..

These are my books in order of my classes:

Multimedia Technology & Applications for the World of Multimedia class(deals with things I do everyday, but is cool because I'd like to be better..I needed this book for my senior project..but I'd STILL get an F because I screwed up one question, used copyrighted Britney Spears pictures, was slightly unprepared, the schools server was too slow, the word "ass" was on one of my sites, and my domain wasn't up because my computer crashed a month before hand!!! GRR!! I hate holding grunges..oh, well..I'm about 10 times better at web designing now because a day or two after the project ended, I got Paint Shop Pro 7..where before, all I had was Micrografix..)

The Little iMac Book by [the famous] Robin Williams for the World of Multimedia class (ok..so it ain't really him..my cam pic features one of my Art 1 projects..I read some of it..chapter one has a section to talk about how to use the mouse with diagrams and everything and about the desktop or the "finder" .. who ever heard of a finder? it talks about how to open and close files and how to scroll and how to do other things that I have been doing for 10 years with Windows, which you can tell the author dislikes a lot..I personally believe no one should graduate high school without knowing how to do basic computer things like that..)

A Design Manual for 2D Design class (I go on and on about drawing nude people in my last post..)

E-Marketing for Business and the Internet class (taught in a room with nothing but a latter and an extention cord, this book makes the class sound somewhat easy..did you know a "pop-up" window is called a "daughter" window?)

The Prentice Hall Guide for College Writers for Beginning English Composition class (I looked through the book and it goes on and on about practicing the Writing Process..you know Brainstorm, Prewriting, Editing, Rewriting, Editing, Rewriting, Have 3 Friends Edit, Rewriting, Finalizing, and Publishing..that thing that takes to 2-3 weeks to write a 2 page essay that could've been better and more easily written when you're high on Pepsi at 3:00am the day that it's due..So far I've come to this conclusion about the class: I'm dead. Everthing that takes me a LONG time to do sucks, such as my Senior project..things I do in a short amount of time, such as my layouts, newspaper articles, the flag poster for Am. Gov. which won 1st place in that period, usually come out pretty good! Whatever..)

Another thing I've been wanting to blog about is dreaming..I've been asked a lot by my friends "how do you remember your dreams so well?" So I made a list of things that I think affect my memory of my dreams..

:o) Sleep on your back
:o) Sleep in a comfortable spot, but not so comfortable that you don't toss and turn
:o) Have the pillow support or neck and shoulders, but not your head
:o) Let your head lean back
:o) Have some sort of sensory input..such as a ticking clock, TV, too many blankets (the heat), etc.
:o) Remember things you've done throughout the day in DETAIL visually..
:o) Do something a lot in the day to dream about it..(I did this with Pokemon and my dream showed me good strategies..)

That's about it for now..I guess for the sensory input thing, you could have someone poke you or make weird sounds when you sleep..it's fun to do this to pets, babies, and some grown ups..you can watch their mussles twitch.. :o) I'm cruel..

Wee! I got the new Ad Obsession layout and challenges up!! The splash page are the words I somhow got stuck in my head during Kitty's Fourth of July party at go with the addicting song, New York, New York..I also used monarch butterflies cuz I thought the orange ones looked so beautiful with its contrast to the sky, but I don't associate orange monarch butterflies with New York..so I was going through my book for 2D Design class and the idea popped in my head for flag colored monarchs..and voila! That book inspired me to make on of my better layouts and all I did was look through it..The bad thing is I didn't go to an art school because I did NOT want to draw/paint nude people..well, what do you know, a lot of the pictures in that design book were of nude people..and with my class being 5 hours long on Tuesdays and Thurdays, how easy would it be for the teacher to hire a nude model? .. the only reason I don't wanna draw nude people is that I can't draw people PERIOD..I'll make them look so ugly with a head the size of Texas and one arm longer than the other with bubble hands and legs that bend in 4 places..I'll just give up and draw a stick figure..a stick figure with a head the size of Texas that is..

Other than that, West Side Story's gonna be on tomorrow (well, tonight, really)! My favorite musical of all time! Wee!

Just so you know, voting has started at The Caffeinated Awards, my awards site..I think I know who's gonna win in most categories already because one of the sites have a very clever way of getting people to vote..my seggestion to nominees: Create a REALLY cool way of telling the world your site is nominated and how voting is FUN!..

My friend, Kitty's site Peppermint Spice is nominated (but she appearently isn't feeling very funny or psycho at the moment)..

Two of my hostees are nominated: Amanda @ The Forgotten Soul and Sarah @ Sarah's Personality..

Two sib sites are nominated: Super-Doe.com and Memories Bliss..

One of my favorite sites are nominated: //gtmcknight (don't you think I plug him enough?)

Two sites that I made the layouts for are nominated: Angelic Awards and My Anti-Drug

Tomorrow, I'll blog some things I've been wanting to blog for a while (nothing big) and work on some graphics for As If Designs..I'm hoping to get Ad Obsession back up because I'll be running a school challenge and music challenge and for the month of September (what's left of it) I'll run a 9/11 tribute challenge..I will also get the pages up for the Cam Contest idea I had..I'm trying to come up with a name..got any suggestions?

Added Kitty's Birthday/Graduation card to the fan signs page..

I scanned some of my larger art work and decided to remodel the artwork section when I get the time..I also found some pictures of me when I was younger that I might put up here..the cool ones from like when I was a brown person..lol..I later turned green..and I'd be blue now if I had stayed.. :o)

OH MY GAWD!!! I was just doing last minute code checks for the Caffeinated Awards before voting starts and I found this:

Tay SO rocks!!! I'm putting it in my fan sign page..

I had this idea last night, but his cam pic just encourages me more..I'm thinking of putting weekly cam challenges here and the first one is going to be the Best Fan Cam Pic contest..more info later..

Wee! I have received another fan sign! It's from Lilly and Michelle @ Underneath It All Reviews:

Whenever I get the time and ideas, I'll give my hostess fansigns..hopefully that will be soon..

New Hostee Alert!

Since Kitty is almost done with her site, I'll wait until she has it done and then I'll add two stars at the bottom of the page..

Pluggin' the siggy penners: Plug, Plug, Plug, Plug, Plug

I also went button crazy and made some link me buttons and buttons for the hostees (which I'll send out later):

The reason Ad Obsession isn't up there is because I'll be making a new layout soon..

The night before last, I had a dream inside a dream inside a dream..7 levels of DREAMS!! I HATE THAT!! it happened again last night but only 2-3 levels this time and the telephone woke me up..it gave me an idea to use an alarm clock, so if I get stuck in my dreams again, the alarm will wake me up..I hate those kind of dreams because they're SO realistic that I think I'm awake, but I'm not and it drives me crazy 'cuz after a few nights of those kind of dreams I start wondering if I'm dreaming when I'm really awake and I'm afraid to go to sleep because I'm worried that I'll get stuck in a dream and can't wake up..it's really scary to me and I don't know how to stop them..I notice that I have them more often and deeper if I'm conscious of the fact that I'm falling asleep..that I can actually FEEL my body fall asleep, but my mind is still awake..it's weird..

Other than that, yesterday was fun! My friend Karen, my mom, and I went places..first we went to Karen's house, so she could sell me her SILVER gameboy pocket and some games..she sold me Pokemon Yellow and Silver and said that she was gonna give me Pokemon Red and Kirby's Dreamland 2..she also gave me a car adapter and 2 battery packs!! She showed me how to play Pokemon Yellow (Pikachu is SO CUTE!)..I can see why people are addicted to that game..it's different from the ones I usually play..what I don't get is some of these things about some ministers/priests/parents being against pokemon..the pokemon FAINT, they don't DIE..I feel that other than the addiction to video games, this is perfect for kids..Pikachu and Prof. Oak won't make kids wanna shoot their classmates..go Pokemon! The friendly game! After that, we all went to the bank where I used an ATM for the fisrt time (It's sad, I know)..then we went to Micky D's where I tried to get oldie songs in people's heads..i'm a soul man duhduh duh duhduhduh duh duh duhduh I'm a soul man dum dum dum..lol..the game of love, love, love love love love love love! .. ok enough of that..then, we went to Walmat and got lost..sort of..after finding a purse (yes, I can't believe it, but I bought a purse) and a book bag for school, my mom went to the crafts department while Karen and I went to shop for clothes..I bought 2 shirts with creative designs on them and a shirt with "angel" on it to go with my collection..after about an hour or so, we went to look for my mom..we got side tracked on the way talking about what movies were good (The Mummy, The One, Tomb Raider, etc.) and then stopped again on the way to look at a really neat fuzzy pillow..then we got to the crafts section and my mom wasn't there..so I thought we could go play with the toys because when my friend Connie and I went to Wally World the last time we made a big deal about playing with the toys in the toy department..so Karen and I found some "noise-makers" and played with them..she wound up a whole row of moving musical dolls..about 20 minutes later, we decided to look for my mom again..we found her right away and we wave and she pointed at me and yelled, "YOU BETTER NOT TALK TO ME!!" We were totally confused, I guess after my mom looked for us in the clothes department, which she claimed was an hour before we found her, but Karen and I both believed it was 20 minutes, she asked around the sporting goods and the toys if anyone has seen an girl with a pony tail on a scooter who is 18, but doesn't reall look 18..they said no, so she went to the front desk and had me paged 5 times..I do remember hearing "djforsioawmkdkfsfdlplvopdsjaeiepeddlfkeoajdpleasecometothefrontofthestore" over the intercom and I asked Karen if she understood a word that person said and she said nope..and that was about 10 minutes of playing with the toys..I guess they had 5 workers looking for me..it's nice to know my mom worries that much about me, but she should realize that I'm 18 and shouldn't give herself a heart attack thinking I was kidnapped in the 10 minutes that I was gone..After that, we went to see Men In Black 2 which I'll write a movie review about later..it was better than the first just like Bunny told me..then we went back to WallyWorld and I played on the gameboy while Karen told me how to fight and stuff and then we went home..so yeah, it was a great day..I wish I could drive and go places with my friends more often..

I haved some sites to plug and a new hostee, but I'm a little tired right now and will post again in a little while..

We! I got a fan sign today!

Ok, so I got distracted and didn't finnish my "vacation" post..I might do it later and make it a page in the me section..I updated Guess the Lyrics, Guess the Celeb, and Guess What I Collect (this is funny..I hope people get it..)..I added some survey answers and a review..I got an award for As If Designs..and I updated my CD Rack because my mom changed around my room and found all of my CDs..105 CDs..woo! that's not counting the 8 CDs of 60s songs, 8 CDs of 50s songs, and the 6 CDs of One hit wonders..can you tell I'm preparing for the TOTAL remodeling of Lyric Freaky?? It's gonna be great! and hopefully interactive..
