New KY manga?! o_O Where did you get it? Want!

And I see that we are partners in purpleness (purple is, incidentally, my favorite color..and the color of my birthstone)...and congrats on the domain. At last, yes? :3

I'm probably going to change its name, Scully... likely to something that's more fitting with the language of the planet its on (or in otherwords, a name that is a frightening jumble of Latin and English).

Hm... I poke a little fun at Tori-lovers in this chapter of Claris project that I'm working on. ^^; Not at people who like her, because I like what I've heard of her as well (Father Lucifer and the Etienne song specifically), just those strange people who wear a lot of body glitter and fake wings and think they're faeries or angels or something equally above humanity. Also, Kendorah hardly ever checks/replies to her mail anymore it seems... best way to reach her is through the BTLC forum I've found. :3; I seriously doubt she'll mind you using her picture.

Yep, Syna... I'm surprised you remembered..but my personal site was called Phantasmagoria and then I had the RC Forest. (It was almost a collective.. XD) Phantasmagoria is also the name of a very scary computer game. It's a neat word. :B

Woo, it's hot... thank God it's Friday. o_o It's been a long, back-breaking week. I have much to do this weekend, both in terms of academia and in terms of Kurai. There WILL be new Karma Slave on Monday, although it won't be as nice as the other pages, since I still don't have a graphics program yet. I want to get KS moving again...and work on Claris continues. o_o

But tonight I'm going to Kai's for her birthday sleepover soiree...

Gaze upon the new layout in all its new layout glory!

From Kai and her Verdana-loving self.

Zim will be new tomorrow night! O frabjous day! :D

Why is it that nothing I do is ever good enough for anyone?

I thought today was going to be a good day, but then it wasn't. God damn it.

It's only the second day of school and I've cried both nights. I feel utterly joyless right now. I don't know if it's just 'that time of the month' or if it's school or my friends or some horrible amalgation of it all, but I feel awful.

I love Ali's feedback mails... .__. She gives me the nicest and most insightful commentaries.

Wasn't even thinking of you, honey. :3;; Saw your entry after the fact.

Vera, Death of Reason rox. So do the new drawings (I like the first one best, despite not knowing who that is..^^;)~

Thank you for the consideration Tengu... I'm still in a horrible mood, but today was somewhat better than yesterday... not very much though. .__.;

I am in a "I hate the whole fucking world" kind of mood right now... I expect I'll be in that mood a lot in the days to come.

My AP English teacher has a number of interesting quotes around her room. The one that applies most to me:
'Nobody is completely worthless. If nothing else, at least he can serve as a bad example.'

Bu hu hu... Impa's appearance in the N64 Zeldas amused me, Jaimie-J, because in the earlier versions (which took place later, apparently), she is an old, shriveled lady.

Sometimes I wonder if I ought not to just take down the SB page... I'm so sick of people bitching about it. So sick.

Oh yeah, something else I forgot to mention. Until near the end of second period today (which is not that long, but long enough for me to be almost drenched in my own perspiration... I'm very sensitive to heat), our school had no air conditioning. Why? Because the senior class before us had ripped out the fuses for the AC and spray painted the front doors with the message 'A Day in the Life of Memphis City Schools.' (which, for the most part, now have air conditioning, making this message a moot point) Fucking bastards. I sympathsize with districts too poor to afford AC, but this school isn't really rolling in the bucks either (I overhear teachers complaining about lack of funds all the time). HHS may be in Germantown (a fairly affluent suburb of Memphis), but that doesn't mean it's a high class institution. Roaches and other creatures of filth plague the classrooms, mildew gathers in the corners, the walls are made of thin, completely not sound-proof cinderblock, et al. The place needs a new roof as well, apparently.

Argh, my eyes doth burn mightily. The scanner is back, but I still need a graphics program. Computer is OK; graphics were weird because the color res wasn't set right. So the panic is over, at least for now. Bryan continues to express desire to gut Malfactor like a fish. He wants to put in a new motherboard and such, but we don't exactly have the money for such gutting now... so I just have to hope Malfie behaves until we do.

Cal, I'm pretty easily intimidated...especially when it comes to computer related things. I have a lot of neuroses and anxiety issues. I'm the kind of person who tends to put situations in the worst possible light and think the worst of everything...basically I make mountains out of mole hills. In addition to this anxiety, I have a severe disorder when it comes to dealing with other people... I don't know if you noticed it when I met you, but I do actually speak with a slight stutter (nowhere as profound as Claris) and a lisp (again, it's slight, but I hisss on my s's); also I mumble and mutter. Naturally I'm perfectly audible to myself, but generally not to others... I don't assert myself very well offline.

Annnyhow. Today was the first day of school for me. Nine months of pain, suffering, and nervous breakdowns lie ahead. Yay! At least I'm a senior, so if I can not-suck in my classes I won't have to take exams (sweet lord, that would be wonderful).

First, I have to get my schedule changed. I need a study hall first semester, and I'm afraid that when my schedule is redone I'll be moved from the fourth period AP class, which has all my friends in it (including Kai) and which is the B (second) lunch. As a person who has had the last (D) lunch for the past three years, this is a refreshingly happy change and I hope, hope, with all that is in my veins, that at least this class remains the way it is. I don't really care about anything else; I may even drop Psychology, even though it seems like a really interesting class. But I MUST have that study hall so I can do my Lit Mag work.

AP English seems very frightening. I'm going to review my books some more before I go to bed tonight because we have tests on them tomorrow; I hope I don't fail. I'm not too worried about my other classes--yet.

Well, I have most of the essentials back, except for the scanner...needless to say there won't be any Karma Slave tomorrow... I'm still a little concerned though..whenever I switch windows--like from AIM to a window of Netscape, or from a window of Netscape to a window of IE, my computer becomes discolored for just a second--like makes the colors in negative. It only lasts for the barest length of time; but it's disconcerting... >_>
