*yawns and waves* Ohayo, minna-san. It's early. I wish I didn't have to go to school today but I have to because Mr. Nguyen (my Multimedia teacher) is back today. Yesterday was the beginning of the second semester, and my schedule changed. It's basically the same as before, except I don't have Drama anymore, I have Multimedia. Isn't that nice? ^_^ I know you're just so excited for me.

I'm going to ace Multimedia. They're going to teach me how to make a webpage. Look at how excited I am *absolutely monotone*. What I wanna know is why the counseling center decided they wanted to screw me over. "Oh, let's screw Arashi over, she's moving in less than six weeks anyway." ¬¬ *kicks the counselors* Anyway, I'm moving my blog to Pitas soon because Blogger's being a pain in the arse as Kate said. ^_^ Last night it wouldn't even let me post. And TDC has been crashing too often for me to actually keep a blog on here. The only thing is Pitas doesn't support frames, so I'm going to have to learn to use tables. *shudders* The tables don't like me though. I don't like them. It's mutual.

Well, it's 7:03. I have to go in a few minutes, because my mom's gonna be maaaaaaaaad at me for spending the last 20 minutes or so writing in my blog. But that's okay, I don't mind. As long as I get to write in here. I'm going to have to use one of Pitas's table layouts, because they obviously know what they're doing. Either that or ask Kate-chan if she'd be so kind as to design one for me. *looks at Kate-chan* I know you're reading this, so it saves me the time of asking you on AIM. ^_^ You have spare time, don't you? ^^;; She designs such beautiful layouts. And the pitiful thing is I've been using HTML longer than she has and I still haven't gotten the hang of tables. *sweatdrops* Oh well.

Maybe in Multimedia they'll teach me how to use tables for layouts. Because I am not going to learn how to do these tables on my own, they just don't like me and I don't like them. *sacrifices tables on the Altar to the Buffy Gods* And the "Altar to the Buffy Gods" is an inside joke, only me, Meg, and maybe Kate know what it is. ^_^ Anyway, my mom's yellin' at me so I better go. Ja ne!

Current book I'm reading: In the Hand of the Goddess by Tamora Pierce; and Vengeance of Dragons by Holly Lisle or Wild Magic by Tamora Pierce, I can't decide which I should read first

Konnichiwa, minna-san. I finished two books yesterday: Alanna: The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce and Fearless #13: Bad by Francine Pascal. I love to read! ^_^ *bounces off the walls* Okay anyway. Last night, I watched the Pay-Per-View Drew Carey special last night, y'know, the Improv All Stars. Wayne wasn't on it, but the other two regulars on Whose Line Is It Anyway? were on there. Colin and Ryan. And Chip was on there. And I bet half of you don't know what I'm talking about, but that's okay. I finally found out who "Sobakasu" was by - Judy and Mary. *nod* Okay I'm gonna shut up now. *skips off*

Hi minna-san!!!! I didn't die, but TDC crashed for about a week but I'm back up and running! Everyone thank Arashi's dad! *minna thanks Arashi's dad* Okay so anyway. I went to Borders yesterday and got three books - Fearless #13: Bad by Francine Pascal, Wild Magic by Tamora Pierce, and Vengeance of Dragons by Holly Lisle. I finished Diplomacy of Wolves on...Tuesday I think. Yeah. Tuesday. Or Monday. Anyway, I'm halfway through Bad, I love the Fearless series. I think it's great. Gaia's so cool and Sam's pretty sweet most of the time and Ed's just plain COOL. So anyway, Vengeance of Dragons is the sequel to Diplomacy of Wolves. And I'm gonna be mad if Ry doesn't get to Kait. ¬¬ And Crispin's coooooool! *bounce* A heh...^^;;; Okay anyway. I would elaborate on Wild Magic, but it's the first book in a quartet. ^_^ The cover's pretty though! I think it's Daine on the cover. The horses are cool too.

Speaking of horses, on the cover of Daja's Book (also by Tamora Pierce ^^), Daja's supposed to be looking back at a grass fire while she's riding a pony and the stupid thing is a HORSE! If you don't believe me see for yourself. You can look it up on the internet or something else. *yawn* Well...I'm gonna go now. I might write more later. Ja!

Bwaha! I know I didn't write yesterday but whatever ^_^ Diplomacy of Wolves is pretty good so far, I'm on chapter nine. *sweatdrop* It's because I didn't read too much yesterday. Oh well. I really should be working on my science report ¬¬ But I don't wanna. How the heck am I supposed to write a two-page report on Galileo with only one page of notes? I left my book on Galileo in my locker....in fact I'd forgotten about it until just now. *sweatdrop numero dos* I also need to study for my make-up test on chapter six in algebra for tomorrow, AND I need to work on this stupid poster thing for my reading class. *kicks Nolden the Nutcase to planet Spikeishotterthanriley* I think I'm gonna do it on either Briar's Book or Daja's Book, or maybe even Diplomacy of Wolves. The poster's not due until Friday, but then again neither is the report but I should really be working on both since they were assigned last week. And even though my science teacher is nice she's SO picky about reports. Thank god I don't have any algebra homework. That's the last thing I need right now. ~_~ Well, I'm gonna go now since I'm gonna regret it if I don't work on my science and reading stuff. Ja!

Current book I'm reading: Diplomacy of Wolves by Holly Lisle

Hi minna. Notice that I finished Briar's Book? ^_^ I read a lot yesterday. If you're reading The Circle of Magic, the first book (Sandry's Book) is really boring and slow, but the second book (Tris's Book) picks up pace a little and it's better than Sandry's Book but still a little slow, the third book (Daja's Book) is a lot better but I didn't like Daja too much in that one, and the last book (Briar's Book) is the best. So anyway, that's all I'm gonna say 'cuz I can't think of anything else. Ja!

Current book I'm reading: Circle of Magic - Briar's Book by Tamora Pierce

Hi minna. Sorry about not writing yesterday, it was my mom's birthday. Well I finished Daja's Book yesterday (it took me three days. if I read more on Thursday I would've had it finished). So now I'm reading Briar's Book, which is the last book in the Circle of Magic. I went to Borders today, and I got Briar's Book (obviously ^_^), Alanna: The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce (I've already read it but I love the book), In the Hand of the Goddess by Tamora Pierce (again, already read it but I love it), and Diplomacy of Wolves by Holly Lisle. My parents were wondering where I got my love for reading from, since neither of them love to read as much as I do. Then they concluded that I got it from my grandma, who can read a book like Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (yes, I'm using the original title) in about three or four hours. My cousin Joshua loves to read as much as I do, only he doesn't like fantasy too much. He prefers horror, especially stuff like Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal. He likes the Redwall series by Brian Jacques though. The only ones out of the Redwall series I liked were Outcast of Redwall and Redwall. ^_^ *notices she's rambling on about books and reading* Hm. Well anyway. I've been sooo bad about the mp3s on TDC and I'm sorry ;_; It's just I've been busy. I'm gonna go now since Briar's Book is staring at me and practically shouting "READ ME! READ ME!". Ja!

Sorry for not writing yesterday. I just felt blobbish and didn't wanna do much. My mom is making me some French fries right now. And I'm working on a new layout for Tenjou Dot Com, that is, if Adobe and Corel decide to cooperate. Hopefully they will. Anyway, still obsessed with Fushigi Yugi. I want to write an FY fic, but the problem is, I don't think I've seen enough TO write a fic. I mean, I've only actually seen Miaka, Yui, Nuriko, Hotohori, Tamahome, and Nakago out of the Seiryuu and Suzaku Seishi. *pauses* Nuriko...Nakago...that kinda rhymes. Anyways. Tomorrow's my mom's birthday, and it sucks that I have school tomorrow. I have a three day weekend though 'cuz of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s b-day! =D

*yawn* Almost got an Escaflowne tape the other day. There's this guy that we know we real well who owns a comic book/collectable card store and he sells some anime there. He's trying to get rid of a subbed Escaflowne tape (the first tape, ironically) which is $25. He said he'll give it to me for $20 =D See because it's been on the store shelves as long as I can remember. That and the Ping-Pong Club....and Please Save My Earth 3. Well anyway, he wants to get rid of it so that he doesn't have to send it back to the distributor. He told me, "If you want that Escaflowne tape, I'll give to you for 20 bucks. I've been trying to get rid of it so I don't have to send it back to the distributor. It'll cost me as much to send it back anyway." I bet I could've haggled him down to around $15. ^_^ He's such a nice guy. I think his name is Chris....(yeah, I know, he's a really good friend but I can never remember his name). I'm pretty sure it's Chris. But of course I hope you all realize that he sells anime for nearly $5 cheaper than Suncoast does.

I'm gonna be sad to leave California. *sigh* It's not that there isn't that much here for me, it's just....you know, I grew up here and everything. I threw a fit just from moving from one house to another, same city, just a few blocks away though. It's just that I knew everyone. When I move I'm not gonna know anyone. I barely know the people here, in my neighborhood. In my old neighborhood I knew EVERYONE (Angelica, Ashley, Jonathan, Desiree, Tyvonna, Ana Lisa, Little James, Calvin, Asia, Miles, Sophia, Rubin, Rosie...and that's just SOME of the kids). In this neighborhood I know a few people (Gabe, Jordan, Alex, Brandon, Numan, Nibia, Angela, Vicky, Timmy, Veronica, Carin, Audrey) but not nearly as many as I knew in my old neighborhood. I'm gonna know NO ONE. But oh well. I'll make friends some how.

Well now. I think that's enough. Ja ne!
