Well, I got another job. The other one didn't work out, but now I'm working with Tonia at a clothing place. Blah blah blah, I don't feel like typing the details. 9:47 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Well, *sigh*, I just finished some stuff I needed to do long ago: 1. Change craving on the old Pickway for the craving clique so Tess won't get mad and delete me 2. Put up "Moving" graphic on TSbG cuz I plan on moving it to Envy.nu 3. Put up the new URL to Pickway on the old Pickway *YAWN* I think I'm going to bed now. Ta ta! 5:40 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Pooh on the cliques/webrings that don't like, "Me", "You", "WWW", etc.! 4:43 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Have I ever said before that I think splash pages are a waste? Well, they are. Pooh on splash pages.....even though I have one at Pickway....but I'm thinking about getting rid of it..... I'm such a dork. 4:18 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Hey, I'm green 4:08 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Tuesday, October 30, 2001 I'm bored. Becka went to the mall, but I got to talk to her on the phone before she left. She didn't do what I told her, but oh well. I slept in until 4 something today. Of course, I didn't go to bed until like 5. I have no life. I haven't heard anything about that job yet, but what am I supposed to do until I go to work? I'll have four days of the week where I won't have to go to work. =P Ok, and I am getting really annoyed with my family. My sister just sits some place and talks. Just talks. She'll keep looking at me to see what my reaction is, but I don't pay attention to her. And everyone has to yell. My mom yells constantly. When she's on the phone, talking to someone, just all the time. And I'm always wrong. She's always right. Everyone's always right. I'm always wrong. Stupid Mary was wrong again. Geez sorry I try to tell you a new way to look at something. Gosh, bite my head off. Everyone in my family is so annoying. My mom talks like a moron, my dad eats like a moron, my brother and sister are morons. Ugh. And every night it's the same thing. "Mary, you can't be staying up all night on the computer." EVERY NIGHT!!! And when I say, "Do you have to tell me that every night?" they say something stupid back. Over-reacting to everything, too. I hate driving with my mom because she flips out about every little thing. Screaming and gasping any time something happens. Scares the crap out of me. It's like, does she want me to wreck? I really want to move out!!!!!!!! 6:34 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- YIPPEE!!!!!!!! I'm happy! I just got an email from { faerie dream } and it said that Pickway has been accepted into that clique! Woo Hoo! AND, an email right after that (that must have come when I was gone from the computer) was in reply to my Homestead mailing list I sent out about the new URL...they assured me that they wanted to be on the new mailing list!!!!!! Yay! I feel loved! ^_^ 1:02 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Monday, October 29, 2001 Ok, I asked Becka to do something for me tomorrow. I'm too embarrassed to do it myself. I hope she does. =) I don't really want to say too much about it here...more details if it all works out.  11:21 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- I CAUSE SO MUCH TROUBLE! =P 10:28 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Sunday, October 28, 2001 The singing! The infernal singing! 8:47 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Oh my. Ok, you know how I said before that I went to a haunted mine? Well, this one girl was really scared before we even went in, so her mom asked me to come and sit next to her for "moral support". So, we go into the mine and, boy, was it scary. (<---sarcastic) I was not scared at all inside that place. I was actually glad to be in there because it was warmer (surprisingly) in the mine than it was outside. Anyway, so there's people in there dressed up and stuff, you know, trying to scare everyone, and I didn't want them to touch me. It's like, ooo, yeah, scream and wave your fake knives around, but if you try to touch me, I'll pound you. Well, whaddaya know? Some guy with a fake butcher knife keeps reaching across everyone's legs into our cart and is hitting me with his dumb plastic knife. So I moved. I didn't want the fake blood to get on my jeans, ok? Then, he walks around to the other side (no one was sitting on the other side of me) and is like climbing into the cart trying to get at me. So, I scooted over towards that girl...ok, ok, so I was like in her lap, but I didn't want that freak touching me. Those were the only times I moved around. Just when that guy was trying to get me. So, we're walking out of the mine and the girl's dad keeps saying, "Wow, Mary got pretty scared in there. Gee, thanks for the support! We brought you over to help out a little and you were all over the place in there!" Uh, excuse me. I didn't want some freak to feel me up and, if I remember correctly, your daughter was crying because a bunch of 15-year-olds put make up on and were brandishing fake weapons. It didn't stop there. He went and told everyone (along with his wife) that went to the mine with us that I was jumpy and moving around in the seat the whole time and how freaked out I was. HELLO! YOUR 14-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER WAS CRYING AS SOON AS WE GOT IN THERE! In the van on the way home, my pastor was saying something about how he heard that I was freaked. I tried explaining, but everyone was laughing and asking why I was scared and blah blah blah. He was like, "Hey, that chainsaw guy had his sights set on Mary, too". Yeah, well, that's because I was the only girl on the trip that wasn't crying my eyes out. =P There was a stupid weirdo dressed up as a gorilla, too. I ignored him when we were walking out the door and I think he started to follow me, but I lost him. Ha ha! Anyway, we got back to the church and this guy just keeps telling everyone that I was totally freaked out. I was getting really mad, but didn't want to just tell him off, so everytime he said something and everyone looked at me to see if I had something to add, I just looked away and talked to Becka, mumbling, "I wasn't scared at all, his stupid daughter was bawling for crying out loud". I talked to Becka on the phone today for like an hour and a half tonight. She said that she's going to call me back after she watches MUTANT X! Lol. Oh, Becka's so funny. Does anyone else's family SEVERELY get ont heir nerves???? Mine does. 8:43 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Saturday, October 27, 2001 I just got off the phone with Becka. Today went pretty good. We went up to the church around 1:30 to go to the haunted mine. That was ok, even though it was freezing outside. The "scary" people in the mine were all either my age or younger and they kept coming after me. There was this one guy with a "chain saw" (it had no chain) and he got into the cart next to mine. He looked over at me and saw that the seat next to me was empty, and he started coming over to my cart, but the train started moving, so he couldn't get up and move. (Ha ha!) Then, after we got off, he started chasing me. Stupid head. =P Then, we went back to the church and ate and then "roasted" Tracy. It was great. I think basically everyone there actually believed that I had pierced my tongue. My dad had to tell them all that it was a magnet and not real. Lol. 11:08 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- I think my head is going to exlode. I got a magnetic earring for my tongue today to freak out my pastor at his "roast" tomorrow. Lol. I can't wait. I also got an "I love New York" shirt with an apple colored with an American flag. And some of those fake hair scrunchie things. =) 12:38 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Friday, October 26, 2001 Wow, I am sooooo addicted to making web pages! Lol. Here's two new ones I just made: It feels like... and Addiction! The first site is my clique and the second is my collective where you can find links to FIVE of my webpages. ^_^ 2:33 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Thursday, October 25, 2001 LMBO!!!!!! (ask me what that means later, if you don't know) Oh my freakin' word! I was looking for a host that was ad-free just to have my blog on. I mean, envy.nu is ad free, but they won't let me upload my blog using their FTP (Pooh on them, lol, j/k). Anyway, I found this place called United Net and the URL you get is extremely long and stupid, but it said that there were no banners (yippee!) and all I wanted was a page for my blog. So, I signed up and they finally sent me my user name and password. Then, they tell me that if I want to I can follow this link to E-bay and sign up for some kind of crap. They said that I didn't have to, but they would pay more attention to me if I did. LOL!!!! Not like I care if they pay attention to me, but like they're going to get me to sign up for a bunch of crap! HA! THEN, I read under it and this is what it says: LMBO!!!!!!! Oooooooooooo! Let me run off and tell all my friends about this place! Just take your good ol' time over there, you guys. Put my page up, don't put my page up....eh, doesn't really matter to me, just as long as you're happy. LOL!! 1:32 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Tuesday, October 23, 2001 Well, I was reading about blogbot and stuff and it seems that there are some problems and the guy who's running it is working them out. He says he's also writing a code to block the people who keep warning it (yay) and making it so people can post w/ HTML. That means I'll be able to post pictures from AIM! I'll never have to post on Blogger.com again! Woo hoo! Lol. When I was working on TSbG, I thought of maybe starting a Christian blog and having a bunch of people join who have Christian web sites. Don't you think that would be cool? I do. 
Derek called for me today twice. I was asleep the first time and the second time he called while my brother was on the phone. Well, by the time my brother got off, he had already left work. I don't think I should call him at home...that's kinda unprofessional. Hmm. He's been trying to find me jobs dealing with graphics and computers and stuff, so that should be cool. =P I don't even want a job. I just want to be a bum! LET ME BE A BUM! 9:20 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Gosh, I'm hungry. =P I'm really beginning to understand and love Envy's FTP! I just moved Fairy Tale over to Envy and am making a new layout. Just discovered some bugs in it, but should be easy to fix. ^_^ Neither blogbot or bloggerbot has signed on AIM recently, so I've been bloggin' the old school way. So much slower, but I can add images and such. *sigh* I'm cold and I'm going to get something to eat. 3:18 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Monday, October 22, 2001 Man alive. We got that dumb Happy Time virus again. =P So my dad went out and bought the Macafee virus software and put it on the computer. I don't know how it keeps getting on our computer. You can't get it from downloading pictures, I haven't even downloaded any pictures recently, it comes in HTML files, but I didn't download any HTML files. I'm trying to think of any websites that may have scripts in them that I haven't looked at since the last time we had the virus, but all I can think of is TSbG, and I don't think that's where it is. =/ I had my mom braid my hair today. It's in two braids down the sides of my head. It doesn't exactly look good with my glasses on, but I'm not going anywhere today, so I don't feel like putting in my contacts. My stupid brother is talking on the phone to his girlfriend. He's really annoying. I wish he'd go upstairs.  6:40 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- OH MY GOODNESS! Alright. I believe that now is a good time for me to talk about how I feel about ghost, etc. Mainly, because, the page that the above link leads to has a picture on it....THAT TOTALLY IS SCARING THE CRAP OUT OF ME!!!!!!!!! Now, follow the link, take a look-- NOT A LONG ONE --but a good enough one to know what I'm talking about. Let your racing heart slow down and come back and read the rest of this. I, honestly believe that these people made that whole thing up just to sell their painting. The person who bought it bid $1,025 for it. See how clever these people were? They claimed that they took pictures where it looked like the boy was stepping out of the painting. Ok...........so why didn't you post those? And, the thing with things 'happening' to people just looking at it on the computer. Pah! That's all in their heads! But, do ghosts really exists? I'd like to think they do, cuz that would just be so cool and give everyone something do do and debate about, but I think it's impossible. If you're a Christian, you believe that people go to heaven or hell. They're not stuck between life and death, like ghosts supposedly are. Unless........... Listen to this. (This is very interesting to me, so expect a LONG blog ^_^) Let's talk about time for a moment. We see time as, say, a straight line. Everything's moving ahead and we can't go back. Ok, having had Physics and Geometry, let's call it a "ray". Rays start at a point and continue on in one direction. SO, time is a ray. It began when God created the world. But, how does God view time? He is, was, and always will be. I believe that God sees time as a ball, or a point, if we're going to talk geometrically. Kinda like everything is all smushed together. It's a past, present, and future sandwhich. (ha ha, I'm so funny) So, God can see everything, all happening at the same time, but we only see what's going on right now But, what if time IS a point and God, since He can do anything, ya know, is the only one who can properly see it. Our human minds can't comprehend time in the way God does, since we are born, live, and then die and that's the way our world is. But, I'm sure you've all heard your pastor or someone say that there's no time in heaven, and of course people in heaven will be there forever and ever. (Hey, if you sit down and think about THAT long and hard, it'll scare the daylights out of you...but again, because we can't really comprehend being somewhere forever and ever) Anyway, so, let's say that time is a ball. That would mean that people CAN go back in time (though that has nothing to do with what I'm talking about) and...........*here's the main point* if time were such, I would believe that you would see stuff from the past happening while the present time is still going on. See how that works? You know, those would be the kind of things where you hear footsteps, or just see a "ghost" running past or whatever. But then there's the "ghosts" who people claim to re-enact a specific event over and over. The time theory doesn't exactly work with that one because the events don't often happen on the same day they did in the past and, of course, didn't happen over and over in the past. I was thinking that maybe their "spirit" just left an imprint in time, if you want to call it that. But, those are just my thoughts on it.
BUT THEN, you get to thinking about stuff like the painting above. Does that kind of stuff really happen? When things of this world are "moved" by ghosts, when things are "possessed" with ghosts, when some people are "attacked" or "possessed" by ghosts? Beats me. Sometimes, I think a lot of that stuff is in people's heads or has to do with that magnetic feild crap or whatever. I watch a lot of shows about this stuff, lol. One time, I saw video footage of a supposedly haunted room. The person studying it pointed out these white dots that kept floating across the screen. He went on to say that they've seen a lot of those on footage of "haunted" places. Well, HELLO. Ever heard of dust? Lol. That's one thing I hate. Every little thing that happens, everyone flips out and it's automatically related to the paranormal. Like, right now, I keep seeing little dots of light in front of my eyes. Being the level-headed person I am, I assume that these are from fatigue or my awful, throbbing headache. BUT, if I were an emotional, irrational person, and after having looked at that creepy painting, I would believe that these were caused by the spirit in the painting and as I'm writing this I keep seeing more and more of them and now I am starting to freak out a little.....................AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! Lol, j/k. No, I was getting freaked out, but that's just because I wanted to slip into the character of the emotional, irrational person. 
Like I said before, I have an awful, throbbing headache that is now pounding on all sides of my head. The pain relievers obviously stopped working. I guess I should go to bed. I think I want to try to draw tonight again. It's been a sucky drawing spell. Blah.4:00 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Ugh, my head hurts.  Hey, what do you think of these smilies I'm using? I made that one. I found the smile below at Anywhere Is... and loved it. Then, I IMed Becka with a whole bunch of smilies from AIM, made a print screen, and made them into images in PSP6. But, they looked different than the one I got at that website and I really liked that one. It was smaller, so I edited all the other smilies to be that size and even made a sleepy-looking one....since I'm often sleepy, hee hee.
Oh yeah. Sometime when I was editing the blog template, I lost the code for my imood thing. I know everyone must be lost without knowing what my mood is. Lol, just kidding. I'll try to remember to get the code and put it in the template soon.
I found my baby name book, so now I can name some characters, lol. If I had characters to name. I'm still thinking of a story for Adrienne and Xander. That's what that whole surprise thing was all about. I could just picture it in my head......*going to go off imagining things now* When I get Pickway Corners: Adrienne published it'll becomes a best-seller (lol!). Everyone will fall in love with Adrienne, Xander, and Melani. So then, I wait a while. Hide from the press. Don't do too much. Cuz, you know, when famous people do too much for the media, you kinda get sick of them. Anyway, then, maybe like a year or so later, I put out another story....but don't tell people anything about it. Not even writing anything on the back, you know how those always spoil the book anyway. Then, have a date when it'll be released. In the book, the first couple pages don't mention any names. I wanted it to start with Adrienne, but I'm not sure yet. The beginning has to be really good, too. Get the readers guessing. Maybe I had put out my other stories first and I suggested that I'd be using one of my other characters. That way, the reader's guessing at who it is. So, they're reading this great beginning, wondering who it's going to be, then BAM! At the perfect point in the story, you see that it's Xander/Adrienne (whichever I choose to start the story with)!!!!!! Wowee! Yes! They're back! Can't you just see it??? Lol, oh, yes. I am psycho. I know. No need to tell me in the re-blogger, as it's called. By the way, I would like to see some comments on that thing! Took me long enough to add it! 1:43 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Sunday, October 21, 2001 *sigh* Painted the faces of the children of the corn today. Lol. Just kidding, of course. No, there were lots of nice kids at the GCS fair. I painted about 1,000 flags. Some kids requested one on each cheek! Lol. Talk about patriotism. I got so sick of painting those flags, though. =P I'm talking to Mike right now. See yas tomorrow! ^_~ 12:21 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Friday, October 19, 2001 Hey, everyone. I'm having a great day. Doing some laundry (jeans, socks, fave shirts), waiting for pizza from Dominos, going to get a shower, and then heading off to the youth center. I would stay home, but Dave never gave me a schedule, so I have to just show up in case it's my night to work. =P
Well, leave your comments on the blog back thing! I finally got it to work! =D 5:57 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Hey, leave it up to the wee hours of the morning and Mike to make inspiration hit me. Lol. Yep, I got inspired to write another story. It's not a huge inspiration, but I'm glad because I've known huge inspirations to dwindle down into...pooh, basically. Anyway, I'm going to leave the whole thing as a surprise. I'm not going to tell anyone (even though I really want to!!) who the characters are or what's going to happen. Oh, this is going to be so great!!!! Oh yeah. I'm going to try to stop blogging so much. I have WAY too many posts a day now. Lol. It's all because they put it on AIM! Lol. Right now I'm bloggin' the old school way. I'm editing a message that I originally wrote at 1:46 AM, but now it's 3:39 AM. I wonder which time it'll show at the bottom? Hmm Ok, the main reason I'm editing it is because I wanted to tell you all that I'm putting a blogback thing at the bottom of the message so you can respond to me!!! =D How cool is that?! ^_^ So, go try it out! 1:46 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- 1:44 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Thursday, October 18, 2001 Wow, hey, someone actually responded to my "Message in a Bottle" that I sent out. Lol, I didn't respond to the one I got. Oh well. Well, I guess I'd better go check on all the sites I look at every day. See if Leanne's said any more crap about me. I swear, all three of those sites are totally ripping each other off! 5:34 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Right now: -I am rejoicing because I fixed the template and it looks....................eh, ok. -my coot widdle kitty is asleep on the desk chair =^. .^= hee hee -It's 5:05 AM and I'm seriously reconsidering becoming a bum, lol -thinking if I could design webpages for money............$$$$$$$$ 5:09 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Simply Divine - Version 09 - Neve Campbell Oh my goodness gracious! This girl's site is totally the same as those other two I mentioned!!! 3:04 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Wednesday, October 17, 2001 Who keeps warning blogbot? Like I said before, they're going to ruin it for everyone. Ok, this is really getting to me. If you've ever looked at any cute sites online, you will see that they all say, "I HATE copiers" and blah blah blah. Well, check out these two sites and tell me if you see some similarities: Leanne's and Nicole's. Well, email me and tell me if you think they look alike. Cuz I do, but Leanne claims that their "codes" don't match up, but woopie doo about codes. I'm talking layout! Who cares about the codes??? 5:37 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Ok, so Mary Cherry doesn't suck as bad as I thought...mostly because I found a really cute guestbok that I totally changed how it looks and now it fits my site AND I went through and fixed the crappy stuff. ^_^ LOL. Now all I need is content! I think I'm serious, though, about giving my account to someone else. I want to give it to a friend. It's a present, not to be taken lightly. Mike, you want it? Lol. Becka? How 'bout you? Don't really know anyone else who would be interested...or who gets online. 3:21 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Tuesday, October 16, 2001 *sigh* No one's on. I'm bored to death. My new web page sucks. I've been online all day long. I mean ALL DAY. Ever since I've been up. Mainly waiting for someone in particular *ahem* but I don't think they're getting on. =P I'm bored out of my mind, did I tell you that? Oh sure. I could go out to the kitchen and put dishes away. I could go clean my room. I could dust everything in the house...all things my parents would LOVE, but I don't feel like it. There's a few things I feel like doing, but I can't and I don't feel like sharing them with you. =P Well, there were two good things that happened today. 1. I got my Teen magazine (though it's wrinkled from the rain) 2. We had a good supper That's it. Leave it to Teen and food to lighten my day, lol. I was planning on doing something really funny, but like I said, I can't. =P 11:35 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Ha! The crappy new "cute" site is up. Hope ya like! ^_~ http://envy.nu/marycherry 10:00 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Mmm! =9 Making a new CUTE website! Yippee! 7:29 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Oh pooh. Stupid blogbot isn't online, so I have to post the old stinky way. =P Alright! I should not be allowed to make webpages! Lol. Every time I make a new site that's really good, I want to redo all my other crap. Now that I have Pickway lookin' fine, I want to redo Fairy Tale and even give it a new name. Gah. (yes Becka, I stole your word again) I'm not sure what I want to name it. Hmm. I think I'm going to move it over to envy.nu too because of the FTP. You know, I think Envy and Virtue are run by the same people. They look almost exactly the same...but virtue lets you pick your own password. Envy makes you type in their stupid one and you can't change it. What about Mary Cherry? Hmm. Liz always used to say, "Mary berry cherry who rides with Oliver on a fairy" to me last year. Mary Berry Cherry might be too long of a name.........TOTALLY forget about the Oliver part. Bleck. *shivers* I can't stand Oliver. 1:49 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Woopie doo. It's I Love Lucy's 50th anniversary. =P I can't stand that show. My dad was watching it tonight. Man, I love surfing cute webpages! They give me so much inspiration! Lol. Gah. I wanna change the layout of Fairy Tale already. I think I worked on it so much that I'm just sick of it. Pooh. I'm hungry, but every few minutes I get a cramp in my stomach. At one point, I thought I was going to throw up. =Þ I got out a snack cake and Dorritos to snack on like three hours ago. One snack cake is left and half a bag of chips. Blah. 1:22 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Monday, October 15, 2001 Well, my friend, bloggerbot, got a new screen name since AOL banned him. =P Lol, you do know that there is no such person...don't you? Lol. Oh, I'm a retard. I am so bored right now. I have nothing to say to anyone. I'm just sitting here. What is my problem? Why can't I think of anything to say? =P 11:48 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- (side note: yes, AIM may be a faster way to post to my blog, but stupid AOL limits how much you can type. =P) Crap, I can't believe this. I paid for freakin' Homestead, but now I'm in love w/ envy.nu and virtue.nu. AND envy has FTP!!!! I believe that means that now I can stick my blog right into my web page!!! AH!!!!! Real live updates that aren't a pain in my rear to post!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Anyone want my Homestead account? Lol. Email me and I'll give ya my login name and password! :-D 1:56 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Oh stink. Didn't mean to push enter. Lol. I guess this thing isn't as great as I thought. =P Well, it still is a heck of a lot faster and easier than the normal way I blog. Anyway, I was just getting ready to say that I moved Pickway to envy.nu, so you can go check out what little I have there: http://envy.nu/pickway. I'm thinkin' of joining more cliques, too, but now I think I have to email all my old cliques and tell them that I moved. 1:55 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- *yawn* Hmm, I thought I was going to have to blog the old way, but now my buddy bloggerbot (hee hee) signed back online, so I can post all the useless junk I wanna! *evil laugh* 1:50 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Sunday, October 14, 2001 Ok, whoever keeps warning the Blogger on AIM is going to ruin it for the rest of us. Lol. No, I'm serious. Do you know how convenient this is??? I mean, now I can just sit here and type like I'm talking to my pal. Ol' bloggerbot, heheh. =) Anyway, the dorks who keep warning the blogger are stupid-heads. Man, they must have too much free time. Enough w/ that. I'm working on getting a new layout for Pickway up...did I mention this before? I put up a pic saying that the site would be down for a while last night so I guess I should be working on it. I've got ideas for more content (yay!) and stuff, so it should turn out pretty darn good. Ok, I guess I'd better stop before bloggerbot gets kicked offline again. Later! ;) 10:18 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Yes! Now that I have this AIM thingie on, I can post all the time w/o too much trouble! =) Hey, right now I'm changing the layout of Pickway Corners. Well, ok, not changing it right now, actually, I'm putting up a message saying that the site will be down for a while. It's a really cool picture so <a href="http://pickway.homestead.com">go check it out!</a> (I'm such a dork) 12:55 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Saturday, October 13, 2001 Oh yeah, we got a new microwave. Just so ya know. ;) 10:24 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Woo woo! Trying out this new thing where I can post to my blog from AIM!!! Took me a while to get it to work...but I think I got it now. =) 10:22 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Friday, October 12, 2001 Do you think you know me? Go here and find out! Dan's b-day party tomorrow! Yippee. Then I'm going to the soccer games. Go GCS! Our microwave broke, so we have to get a new one. =P Do you know how hard it is to SURVIVE with out a MICROWAVE?! It's like we're back in colonial times!!! I'm mad. Not going to tell you about what, but I'm upset. =X I am. Very. 1:13 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Thursday, October 11, 2001 *sigh* I don't think Derek will be calling me for a job again. Here's what happened: 9:29 AM- I am fast asleep and don't even hear the phone ring. My dad comes upstairs and yells to me that I'm wanted on the phone. I stumble over to the phone and it's some lady from the staffing place. She asks me if I want to be a part of wait staff again, this time at the Ramada. I say, "Heck no". Lol, ok, so I didn't say that, but I politely told her no. She asked why of course, and I told her that I got a mean lady last time. Then she said that since I was at the Jaffa last time, I probably wouldn't have the mean lady and now would I work there. I still said no, then told her I didn't like it. She was wary about that answer, and flustered, I said, "Oh, well, I think I have plans then, anyway." I think she extremely doubted my story, but got off the phone anyway. I breathed a sigh of relief and then went back to sleep. 12:00 PM (or around there)- I hear my dad again, telling me I'm wanted on the phone. Once again, I stumble over the crap in my room and answer the phone. I begin to think that my phone is dying because there's a buzzing noise every time I talk on it. Anyway, it's Tonia, to my surprise, and she asks me if Derek called to tell me about the job on Saturday. I told her that someone did call but I said no. She tried her hardest to convince me to take the job, but I wouldn't budge. She tried to use the bait: "Becka's going to be there" Well, good for Becka, lol. Then, she asked me if I had been sleeping. OF COURSE I HAD! Lol. She apologized, then asked if I was sick. This is because in the morning, my throat is very scratchy and I sound as if I have laryngitis. I told her no, just sleeping and then she got off the phone. 3:33 PM- The blasted phone is ringing again. This time it's Derek. He asked, I thought, if I wanted to work at "Nail Pro" tomorrow. I said sure, thinking it was a manicure place and maybe I could get my nails done. He told me all I had to do was stuff envelopes. That seemed odd to me, but I told him I would do it and then hung up. But, LO! It hit me as soon as the phone was down. What about Dan's surprise party tomorrow?! Eeek! I shook my head to clear the remaining sleepiness and jogged downstairs, explaining to my dad the situation. He wanted me to forget about Dan's party because, "You need to work!" I asked why. He said, "You need the money!" LOL, to buy shoes! I hunted for Derek's work number anyway, w/o success. My dad suggested to call the Altoona office and ask for the State College number. I called over there and they said that Derek was in their office, so they got him on the phone. I explained to him that I was sorry, but I had plans and he understood. But I think if you reject enough job offers, they won't call you again! Oops. Oh! I got MAJORLY inspired by a cartoon doll that I made yesterday. I found a medieval looking dress and LOVED it! That inspired me to make a whole new story. Unlike anything I've ever written before! Oh my, I was so excited last night!!! Since it was so different from my other stories, I sat down, opened my notebook, and made notes about what I wanted in the story. Such as character traits, plot stuff, and notes about names, etc. I don't want to rush into this thing like I do with all my other stories. Usually, I get an idea of a 'scene' in a story and then just start writing from there, let the plot take it's own course. This time, it's different. I want emotion AND plot to work together and mean something. I want a REALLY great story to come out of this. But, along with the excitement, fear is tagging along. I'm afraid since this is all new to me. I think I need some help. These are what I need help with: 1. A name for the main character (female, queen) 2. A word to use instead of queen (emporess???) 3. A name for the guy (low class status) 4. A name for the godparents (old, gentle, godmother is in a head position) 5. A name for the world (hard to explain, just need a name) 6. A name for the whole freakin' story (lol, maybe I'll come up with when I hear the names for the other people/places) 7. A name for the castle (yes, a castle) Ok, you're probably wondering what the whole premise of the story is. Well, w/o giving too much away (since everything is subject to change) I wanted it to have a medieval feel, but also modern. The people talk modern (because I'm no good at talking fancy and stuff) but they're under a monarchy, etc. Fairy tales are history (literally, i.e. children in school would learn about Cinderella as if she were Joan of Arc, see what I mean?). Anyway, what I want to come out in the end is: The girl and the guy are together and they revolutionized their world. I'm thinking about putting something in there like about how their world isn't on earth or something. It's their own universe or whatever. I don't know, but I can see it in my head and it's GREAT! Oh yeah. I dropped out of The Site Fights! This feels great! 6:27 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Wednesday, October 10, 2001 This Penn State connection is a pain in my rear. Either that or just the darn internet. What a bunch of crap. The only reason I get online anyway is to keep track of my site in the Site Fights and to talk to people. Maybe I should drop out of the Fights and just get online for fun. Talk to my friends. Look at cute sites. That's it. My dad went on complaining today about how I spend all my "waking hours" in front of the computer, which is totally NOT true. Ok, well, today it's pretty much true, but excuse me! My mom says that I should get a job where I can work on computers. She wants me to go to the Computer Learning Network and all this stuff. Just let me relax. Let me enjoy this time that I have where I sleep in until three and stay up until four AM. Just let me enjoy laughing at the kids who go to school. Look at Dave and Ronnie. They don't have jobs and they're 24. Can't I be like them? I don't want to get a job. I'd be happy just living with my parents (yet in a separate room far enough to drown them out when they get on my nerves) and mooching off them until I get married. I don't care if that's in twenty years. Tonia lives with her parents and she's 30 and she just gets calls from Derek to do jobs like I do. If anyone tells me that I absolutely have to do something, it makes me want to go the totally opposite direction! That is the problem behind all this. Just leave me alone and eventually I'll get into the groove of things...on my own time. So shut up and stop bugging me. 7:59 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Right now: Talking to: Becka Listening to: Friends on TV Surfing: no where Chewing: Wrigley's Spearmint Gum Drinking: Mountain Dew Watching: Friends Wearing: my new beautiful Roxy hooded sweatshirt over a Tommy t-shirt, the Mudd jeans that Liz gave me, and my cute new Deb socks On my eyes: glasses, I think I give up with contacts Hair: is down 7:22 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Tuesday, October 09, 2001 Since my sister has been getting online recently, I deleted some of my past posts. Just because they were more personal and the address to my blog is always in the address thingie on the computer. =P I'm tired. 11:33 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Monday, October 08, 2001 Went to the mall. Bought a grayish-sky blue hooded sweatshirt with flowers going across and it says Roxy. (It's made by Roxy, duh) It also has a pinkish-purple stripe thing going down each sleeve. I also got brown boot-type shoes made by Tilt at Pacific Sunwear. (I love that store!) Oh yeah, I got three pairs of socks (buy 2 get one free) at Deb. And, if you want, you can count the cherry Coke that I bought, too. =) Babysat the children of the corn today/yesterday. Got $40, so it was well worth it. Ok, so maybe the massive allergy attack took the worth of the money down some. I still feel the sinus pressure. *head throbbing* Ack! 10:41 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Thursday, October 04, 2001 Ah, changed the template again. I was going for a fallish theme, but purple somehow came out, lol. I think it all came from the background. Well, I wanted to get the new cursor and highlight affect in there, but I think the highlight is slightly annoying. I dunno. You tell me. Did everyone like my story that I wrote yesterday? Kinda boring, wasn't it? =) Well, I got inspired today when I was at this cool site called Wizard Mansion. I was reading this one girl's story and suddenly, I realized that I haven't been having fun with my writing. I missed making up fun stuff and pretending that it was me doing them. I forgot that that was my whole point to writing. To have fun. Well, I went right into my new story and added three or four pages. Not much, but oh well. I started to think of a really cool horror story today when I was in the shower (don't ask). I scared myself silly thinking about it, but I don't think I'm any good at writing scary stuff, though I might try to write it anyway. It seems like it could be a long book, which is what I want. Ok, it's 4:35 AM and I'm bushed. Gotta go. 4:38 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Monday, October 01, 2001 Well, got my laundry done, got a shower, fresh and clean, and have nothing to do. I fell asleep on the couch for two hours while watching MTV. That's always scary waking up to Road Rules, lol. I really wanted to go to the mall, but my mom didn't want to take me and I really hate going by myself. I would have called Becka, but she had soccer practice and she lives so far away that her parents don't like to drive her. I don't want to go with Katie and I don't know Tonia's number, and she lives far away, too, anyway. I wanted to go to the bookstore and then go look for some shoes. I thought I would have enough money to buy The Hobbit and a new pair of shoes, but I counted my money and I only have $40. Sorry, Mike, but the shoes come first. Lol. I have a shoe problem, I swear. I cannot walk into a shoe store without buying a pair of shoes. What else is better in the world than shoes? Shoes make the outfit. Not the shirt, not the jeans, not the belt (but that comes close). It's definitely the shoes. You could have an awesome outfit on, but if you have funky shoes, they just ruin everything. If you're feeling down, think about your new shoes. It always cheers me up. =) I LOVE shoes. Mmmm! Just thinking about them! I can't wait to go try some on to see how cute they are with my jeans! Yippee! 8:43 PM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- Ok, I'm not sure what woke me up this morning, but it really woke me up and I couldn't get back to sleep. So, after I heard my brother and sister leave, I just got up. I need to do laundry and get a shower, but now I'm thinking about going upstairs and getting back in bed, heh heh. O=) I'm sorry, but I love to sleep and when I get a chance to get a good few hours, I'm going to take it. I haven't slept this good since grade school. 9:18 AM [link] ----------------------------------------------------------- September 2001 October 2001 November 2001 December 2001 January 2002 February 2002 March 2002 April 2002 May 2002 July 2002 August 2002 September 2002 October 2002 November 2002 December 2002 January 2003 February 2003 March 2003 April 2003 May 2003 June 2003 July 2003 August 2003 September 2003 October 2003 November 2003 December 2003 January 2004 February 2004 March 2004 May 2004 July 2004 August 2004 September 2004 January 2005 February 2005 March 2005 April 2005 May 2005 June 2005 September 2005 October 2005 February 2007 home Navigation: --> me ---> blog archives ----> my friends -----> art work ------> poetry -------> writings --------> stuff for you |
