Aaaargh! *rips hair out* Can't believe I lost my well-thought out entry! What is wrong with me? *sighs*
It's been eons since I have written anything remotely decent in here, so why begin now? Anyway, I got to see Scary Movie about two weeks ago...or was that last week? Hmm...either way, it was pretty damn funny, but unfortunately, I had to take the nephew and neices with me. And although the older ones didn't mind it, the littlest one was stuck with me and I had to listen through 'I'm going to have nightmares' all throughout. Gah! That ruined it a little for me.
And then there was Chem Lab this past Monday that was pretty fun to do...albeit a bit boring, but as usual we are back to calculating stuff again and if it isn't for Ashlie (I wuv you!) I would have been stuck in a major rut again. I can't WAIT to end this class! I am dying here!
Had a quiz on Tuesday. Passed 4 out of 5, which wasn't too bad all things considered. *nods* And then promptly decided to procastinate for the rest of the week. -_-;;
But then again, the writing bug hit me and I wrote a short 4+2 story. Blow the horns and wave the pompoms! Zan thought I must have been intoxicated to finally be able to whip out something like that. And all the while, I was trying desperately to get The Tutor back on track. Oh, did I forget to mention that I somehow wound up writing a halloween fic for Hikaru no Go? I need help, ne?
I think I need a much deserved vacation after all of this. Ah oh my gosh! I still have to finish creating the website that's going to host up all my favorite authors and stories. It's going to be a site for I and Zan, but I am already thinking of changing the layout. It looks too...girly for me. Oh yeah, did you forget that I am a rather fickle person when it comes to layouts? *lol* It's a surprise this page has lasted this long. I think I am going to be changing this pretty soon.
To cut a long story short, it's almost time for another long week ahead of us. It's November and one can already smell the pumpkin and turkey in the air. Can you say Thanksgiving?

Gah, I have been totally lazy about writing in here. Getting several chapters of Tutor, dealing with other muses, and school work has limited my time here, drastically. *makes face* It's good that the muse has come back for some time, but then again...I can hardly concentrate on schoolwork and that's not good. As usual, I kept a lab report that was given to us TWO WEEKS AGO, till tonight and now here I am scrambling to have it finished on time before tomorrow. Talk about procastination. *shakes head*
Anyways, good news. I don't have to wake up too early tomorrow morning. My nephew and neice don't have school, so I can sleep in a little, but I still have to rush off to school to make sure that I get my damn excel graph working right or I might as well just give myself a Zero on the project. And then there is a test on Tuesday...aaargh, why me??
Whee! How could I possibly forget??? Zan, my wonderful friend Zan sent me ALL THE GW EPISODES! Can you believe that?! Well, I have them all here and yet I haven't gotten a chance to watch even a single episode! My grandparents will never allow me to watch, since they have hogged up the TV and *sniffles* It's so hard! I want to see my Duo and Heero and Quatre-chan and even Gel-boy and Wufei. *cries* Ah well, hopefully tonight, I can watch some...yeah, yeah, I know, I have school work, but I am done with it...almost...I think...

I took the fruity fruit quiz
made by rav-chan
Check out which fruit you are

Groggy...barely awake...stuck with a gigantic mug of coffee, which tastes like muck! Bleh! So anyway, what happened to me this past week, besides being beside myself at seeing a work of mine on print. :D Hmmm...oh yeah! My grandparents are here as you must know already...well they really aren't my 'real' grandparents - they are the parents to my sister's husband. Anyway, the sister's husband's sister...*blinks* eh...the sister-in-law dropped by to spend a weekend with us - more to spend time with her mom and Dad than anything. Maybe it's in her blood or something, but immediately she walked through the door, she was already demanding to be taken to the grocery store to buy enough groceries to last us a lifetime. Not that we are complaining or anything. :P
Anyhoo, she makes me (of course) take her to the store and then she buys and buys and buys and then comes back home and begins to cook as if we are having a thanksgiving dinner or something. Needless to say, my sister was more than thrilled to find out that she would never need to lift a finger for the rest of the weekend because the sister-in-law had decided to make the kitchen her friend. Hoorah for me too, because it meant I didn't have to start worrying about what to prepare for the grandparents (Honestly, dealing with their special meals can be such a chore.)
But as they say all good things must come to an end and she had to go back home yesterday afternoon. *sighs* I miss her cooking already.
It was the sister's turn to take the kids to their soccer games on Saturday. Well, guess what? She screwed up the times and venue and by the end of the day NEITHER of the kids went to any of their games. She had driven to the wrong stadium and had gotten the wrong times...*shakes head* sometimes I worry about my sister. In the end, she took them to the circus/fair. I think that kept their mind off the disappointment for missing their games on that day.
And yet I have another rant. There is this woman, who is my sister's friend, that has the nasty habit of dumping her kid here every weekend it seems like. Oh, don't get me wrong, I am all for promoting the love amongst friends and stuff, but geez! The mother of the kid seems to have taken things for granted these days. She drops him off on Friday night around midnight or so and this time around, she just picked him up THIS MORNING! Monday morning, the day for school, she shows up to pick up her son?? Man..talk about eating your cake and having it too. It's damn aggravating.
What are my plans for this week? Nothing as of right now. I am hoping that I can find out what's going on with my scholarship application and then going to hunt for more jobs again. Can't believe I haven't found anything yet...*sighs*

I have discovered the fun that is Megatokyo. I have heard of it before but wasn't really interested. However, after staring at all the books on the library shelf and finding myself with nothing left to read, I finally picked it up and decided to give it a try. Needless to say, I finally discovered where that damn l33t speak came from. I never did get it...still don't get it, but the comics themselves are very sweet and funny. And guess what?

Which MegaTokyo Character are you?

Gotta love, Piro. He is just too cute for words. ^_^

*squeals in delight* I GOT PUBLISHED YES!!! My little poem, got recognized and was published in this years issue of Clocks of the Season. This belongs to the International Library of Poetry and I am sure it can be found in your local bookstores.
My poem can be found on Page 151, so go check it out if you have the time to.
But then again, all of this would not have been possible without the wonderful support and encouragement from my bestest online buddy in the world Zandra_Khi. Seriously, girlie, I am going to have to make you my editor-in-chief or something. *grins* Thank you, thank you, thank you again!! I cannot say that enough. ^______^
And now to tackle the stories. I am working hard to get that published next. Wish me luck! ^_^

Aaaaaaaaaaargh! The injustice of it all!! How can Franklin be STRAIGHT?! And here I was rooting for him all the way to end up with that guy...what's his name again? Oh yeah, James. *tears hair out in frustration* I almost wept at the finale of Boy Meets Boy the other night. Sweet, lovable...adorable...

Please!! Can someone tell me how that guy could look so gay and yet be straight?! *sighs*
Well, guess what? In my fantasies, both James and Franklin do hook up and kick that guy Wes to the curb. Hehehe...oh, if I were the producer of that show...
*goes back to drooling at utter bishieness of Franklin*

What is it about friendship that makes some of us go crazy or make us lose control over certain things? Come to think of it...what is a 'friend'? Is it someone that is always there for you when the times are rough? Is it someone that will always have a caring word or a shoulder to lean on whenever you need them? But wait a minute? Doesn't that make you a sort a leecher? Aren't you just the friend who always whines and complains? Don't you ever take the time to listen to the other's troubles? Oh? You didn't know that they were humans too? Did you just assume that they were just there like human robots aaaaaaalways ready to listen to your bullshit? Well guess what? That ain't always the case. And you want to know why? It's because as you whine and complain to them all the time, the resentment grows and grows until it consumes them and bursts out on a day you least expect.
I guess that is one of the many reasons why I am wary of being too close to people. Yes, I have friends. But what kind of friends are they? I talk to them on the hallways in between classes or during classes. But does that qualify them to be my friends? No, I don't think so. They are what we call 'acquaintances', not so?
So, with that in mind....just who are my friends? Who is that one person that I can run to in time of need? Who is that one person that can run to me in times of need? Who is that person that I can laugh and kid around with, that one person who can make me forget the worries that surround me everyday and make me feel so good inside? Who is it?

*sighs* Who is it indeed?

I think I lost a friend today. A really good friend today.
And a little piece of me died...

Every thing's cool now. At least it looks like it is on the surface. I can't keep moping around forever, so I might as well make the most of what I have right now, ne?
I really should be studying for a quiz right now, but can't seem to get my mind into it. Luckily, it's an online thing and I have till eleven tomorrow night to get it done. *sighs* Gah, my mind is so unfocused today.
But despite that, I did manage to get another chapter of The Tutor done. I feel so proud of myself. But right now, I am not really sure if I will be able to post up the entire thing on ff.net. Rumor has it that even simple lemons are no longer allowed. *shrugs* in that case, the reading public is just going to get only the first half of the story and then have to rush over to my website to finish it up. Not such a bad deal, ne? I don't want my story taken off because of some dumbass rule.
I got to watch the first two episodes of Full Metal Panic today. It's a new season or so, and needless to say, it was pretty funny. Sousuke is growing to be a bish with each passing episode. *evil hentai grin here* Ah, to be a clueless soldier in high school.
Okay, I have to go study seriously now. Aaargh!! MUST.CONCENTRATE.MUST.CONCENTRATE.
