Merry Christmas, everyone!! :)

Trigun

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 13:44:03 GMT

So I recently have gotten back into Trigun. <3 I used to love it looong ago. And even though the animation is slightly out dated, I still love the anime series to pieces. The manga is of course good, as well.

Eve nthough I don't have a ton of time, either, I want to make some kind of webpage tribute of some sort... I know the webcommunity is very dead, and that's not why I'm doing it... I don't know whatto do though. I'm still in the process of thinking of something. I wanted to know, too, if anyone who loves Trigun wanted to be a part of this. I understand that it will probably take a lot of time since there we're all probably very busy people... But I want to do this. :) I guess just comment here if so..

<3<3 I'm not dead!

< live >

Okay, I know I was dead for sometime. Work, school, life... I'm sure many of you know how it goes. But I LIVE. :) AND I need your help. I'm currently in the process of registering a new domain name, since the late xx-vii.net has expired and I do not wish to continue the subscription. I have been having a VERY hard time coming up with names because I want something that captures my interest. I have had some thought and input from a certain fellow and I have come up with a few things... I was hoping everyone could tell me which one they like best so I can resolve this conflict from within.

1. shikamaru.nu
explanation: Currently huge Naruto fan, especially fan of Shikamaru... The only thing is, I've never really owned a domain named after a character... This might be different. Plus, this one will be slightly more costly. Almost got it without thinking.

2. robot-spectacles.net
explanation: I really like the ring to this one, but it's a little long... But it will be very cheap to purchase.

3.oftheclouds.net/com/org
I originally wanted intheclouds, but that was taken and I'm not willing pay 200 minimum to buy it off an ad company. :( Sad story.. So I chose this, which isn't bad either.

I'm still thinking of something, and I'll post those when I think of them, but nothing else is really coming to mind... Thanks guys! :)

I do not feel so well.... Went to the Real Sea Food Co. with Dan tonight, and while it was mighty tasty, now I'm feeling some serious repercussions. Sickness. I feel like I'm going to throw up. :( Yuck.

Tue, 05 Sep 2006 02:14:07 GMT

I am really happy right now. I've been working on homework all day (good job, Gwen!), a which is pretty much my two online courses. But I figure, I've procrastinated long enough, and so I did all my work, and I'm even working on future stuff right now. Well, after submitting all of my work, I've gotten grades back (really quick, good job).

And all the positive feed back from my instructors is great. I'm doing really well in all of my classes and I'm happy. I mean, I know they're not the hardest of classes, but I really feel like I'm putting my brain to work, especially with my Technology in Society class.

I'm just very happy right now. Things are going well, and I'm afraid that at one moment, it'll take a nose dive. But I'm happy. I'm happy with where I'm at and with what I'm doing. :) I can do this, I really have faith in myself.

And... RIP Steve Irwin. :( Sadness.

The new episode of Venture Bros was hilarious! I LOVE how they make fun of the internet and internet slang! So if you've never really been online, you wouldn't get it. *LOL* It was great!

Henchman: So boss, how'd you meet this girl?
Monarch: I met her on THE LIVEJOURNAL, and she said I was "teh sex.." Whatever the hell that means.

XDXD

Sat, 12 Aug 2006 03:27:12 GMT

Guess who has a date with Dan? THAT'S RIGHT, THAT WOULD BE ME!

.... Too much joy to contain.. May explode. .....

Fri, 11 Aug 2006 16:16:19 GMT

I am soooo happy~~~~ Almost all of my debt is gone. I was a good Gwen and paid off almost everything before school started. <3<3 Now, if I wanted to go part-time at work, I could! It's no longer a requirement to be full-time work!

Yaaaaay! YAAAAAY. And next semester, I will not have to pay for school at all, so even more yaaaaay!

Okay, now that things in life are straight. :D

What do you do when your brother is playing music insanely loud at an ungodly hour? Which, BTW, his room is next to yours, so you're getting the full effects of it....

You turn your music up louder, and turn all bass possible! Yep, give the proverbial fuck you.

Tue, 25 Jul 2006 04:35:33 GMT

I need some good song reccommendations! I've played all my favorites out and now I'm bored with music. I'm in a huge techno-ish groove, but anything will due! J-pop, j-rock, normal Rock, emo, techno, just name it! :D

:D:D PLEAAASE?

Thanks, everyone! !!

This makes me happy.

Wed, 28 Jun 2006 06:02:29 GMT

Once again, I am broke. -_- I just paid my bills and some extra on my credit cards for the next two months so I don't have to worry and I can adequately save money for school coming up this fall semester. Gotta love this time of year!

CAR OKAY!

Fri, 23 Jun 2006 04:06:24 GMT

My car is okaY!!! :)

They drained some of the water in the parking lot, and when they did, we got my battery on so we could put it in neutral. After that, we pushed the car out of the water, and it started just fine. My dad took it home while I went into work and he got all the water out! It doesn't even smell. :) AND my phone, which was submerged in the water along with my purse for hours is completely fine, as well.

My things are survivors, bitches!!! Oh yeah!

Thu, 22 Jun 2006 05:07:44 GMT

I end the day with this picture.

My car flooded completely; inside and out.

Goodnight.

Downside to more than doubling my income last year as opposed to the year before: College expects me to pay for school. Damn, this sucks. I don't think I'm going to get any grant money. I think it'll all be student loans. Fuck.

First year of college expected family contribution: $1010
This year's expected family contribution: $9090

Well, it's kind of my own fault. I am paying for school this semester, but it still would be nice to not pay out of pocket. I'm going part time when school starts so hopefully, once I'm part time again, my EFC will go down. -_-

Sat, 10 Jun 2006 19:07:12 GMT

I will never EVER buy an Epson product again. Last year, I bought and printer-scanner-fax machine all in one. It cost me $80. Little did I realize the ink replacement cost $60. Sucks, right? Well, this is even worse. About 2 months after I bought the damned thing, the magenta and yellow STOPS printing all together. I mean, there's NOTHING. And, the black and blue print with lines inbetween. So I thought, okay, maybe I need to clean out the printer head. I cleaned it and cleaned it and I got nothin'. I read online and I followed all the instructions. I even went out and bought brand new ink TWO TIMES and I got nothing.

So, not only did I pay $80 for the stupid thing, but I wasted $120 on ink for a stupid machine that won't even WORK.

GOD I HATE IT.

/rant

EDIT: And Apparently, from reading things online, this printer is HORRIBLE and practically everyone who owns it has MAJOR problems with it. Stupid printer.

Funimation licensed FMP! The Second Raid?

Funimation is good, don't get me wrong.. But... won't that also mean new voice actors? I know a few of ADV's voice actors also do voices for Funimation, but... :( They won't have the same dub voices? That makes me sad, I was really fond of the dub voices.

:'(!!!

Fri, 26 May 2006 06:13:17 GMT

Guess who went to the opening of X-Men 3? OH YEAH

Tired, but I will definitely give my review of it sometime tomorrow!

Just remember... "I'm the Juggernaut, Bitch!"

Sat, 06 May 2006 05:09:43 GMT

So it's a new start for me and my journal. And this time, I really mean it. :)

Happy feelings!
