I will justify myself when getting more of what I can only have a limited amount of. For example, last week I could only have three pieces of bread a day, which by the time I went to bed sometimes translated to four or five. Whats one more piece right? But its not like I have done a complete reversal on my weight loss. I am now down 18lbs, compaired to so Sunday when I down only 16. I don't really know what to do? Should I really try to stick to the diet as it says or because this is working for me just go as I am? BLAH!I finished the latest book in the Southern Vampire book series, Dead and Gone. I think it was amazing, thought there was a lot that was packed into one book. I have decided now that I absolutly love Eric and Sookie together (because Eric is amazing), and I am just sick of Bill and his mopeing around trying to get Sookie back. DIE BILL!!! I have no idea when the next one comes out, or if there will be more. I saw something about some book(s) coming out in October, but I'm not sure if it was a complete collection of hardback books from the series, or if it is just the next one.
y and today is my birthday, and how can you say no to cake? Come on now I'm only human.For my birthday I got a new ipod touch from my parents. My older one was a 8GB first generation itouch, and the new one is a 16GB second generation. Indeed is simply amazing and smexy but none of my docks work for the second generation model! They can play for the most part but they won't charge. Who the hell wants to have to turn on their computer just to get a charge. No thankyou. So, I went out and bought a new docking station/alarm clock so that I can at least charge it at night. I don't think that I can do anything abou the player in my car.
I have gotten up to All Together Dead in the Sookie Stackhouse series. I have plenty to go, seeing as I just bought the newest two books. I have decided that I hate Bill, with some kind of strange passion, but love Eric. Strange no?
12 pounds!!
Yay! Just one more week to go on this diet and I can start eating fruit and bread again! Which is pretty
exciting. My friend is sitting across from me right this second eating mashed potatoes, turkey sandwhich on white bread, and carrots and peas as we speak. Rawr at her. I just want to steal her plate and hoard it to myself. TATERS!!!! Speaking of taters... I have been haveing cravings for food I can't eat. Yesterday I almost freaked out and bought McDonalds on my way home. Then I couldn't stop thinking of oreos, and chocolate cookies. And to top it all off, I'm working on a book cover with a giant picture of a donut on it. Delicious looking pink donut with sprinkles. Torture much?Like I said I am re-reading the Sookie Stackhouse series. I'm glad that I am because I need something to occupy my time. Re-reading it made me remember how different the books were from the show. Like where the hell did they get the idea to make Tara such a huge part of the story line? And with Jason? Hardly has that many scenes in the book. Right now I am on Club Dead, and realizing how much I forgot about the series. Dang.
So whats new? Nothing really. Spring quarter started and I am taking 19 credits, which is more than generally allowed. My first graphic design class is sucking out my soul lol. I literally have like 3 projects due a week, for a class that only meets 2 days of the week, that would need at least a week of work to do a satisfactory job with. And not only that, I have this Mass Media and Info Society class taught by a conspiracy theorist who
thinks "THE GOVERNMENT IS TAKING OVER MAN!!!"
But!! For some good news. I think that I might just use this as my weight loss journal and track my weight cuuuuzzz: I have started a new diet. One that my mom and I are doing together so I'll have more incentive to keep it up. I started this on Sunday and so far I have
lost 8 pounds. Thats right, 8lbs in less than a week baby! I haven't been able to have any of the foods that I like, such as bread, fruit, juice, soda, or any other deliciousness, but whatever! I just have to keep it up I guess. I'm told that I will start loosing weight more slowly, and to not let that discourage me, but why the hell can't I loose freaking 8lbs a week when I'm living like some health nut? My friend told me the best little saying though to keep me going: "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels".As for recent books, I have read the entire Eragon series up to where it is now. LOVE IT! Never was really into the medieval-fantasy books but this was amazing. I almost had a heart attack when I got to the end of the third book and realized I would have to wait until the 4th one came out. Also picked up a few new manga, like Reborn! 1 and Zombie....something. Lol forget the name. I really love Hitman Reborn! the show, so I figured I would pick up the book. Starting to re-read the Sookie Stackhouse novels. I just realized that they had come out with a TV show about the books, so I watched the whole first season, and picked up the most recent book. There are tons in the series but I want to start re-reading from the beginning.
And as for TV, not much to say. I bought the entire series of Ouran High School Host Club, and it was indeed amazing. I just am hoping, no more like praying, that they come out with another season. I mean how could they not? Everyone love that series!!
EWU is great. I love the campus. Trees and squirrels everywhere. Its all wide and open. It can get incredibly busy though. Like the period of time between classes, everyone is racing to get to their next lesson. Busy!
Nothing else has changed. I have read a few books/manga since the last time that I posted. For example, I'm up to the 10 volume I believe of D.gray-man and the 5th of Vampire Knight. Speaking of Vampire Knight; saw the anime. Wasn't the best out there, but I appreciated it. I hear that the next season is coming out soon. And speaking of next seasons!!! I hear that there will be a 2nd season of Full Metal Alchemist!! *fan girl squee* Yes indeedy. It shall be glorious.
Watched quite a few new series of anime during the summer. Full Metal Panic (all the seasons), Soul Eater (which is my new obsession), Vampire Knight, Zero No Tsukaima (all the seasons), Macross Frontier, Code Geass R2, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, and I re-watched Yu Yu Hakusho. It was quite the summer...lol. I really enjoyed them all, especially Soul Eater and Full Metal Panic. Which reminds me: I need to buy the 2nd set of Yu Yu Hakusho DVDs and some Soul Eater manga.
I was looking into joining the Anime Club here at school, but I'm a little shy. Lol believe it or not. I wish I knew someone in the club or someone that would go with me. It sounds like fun, and I would love to go to a convention some time. *le sigh*

I picked up a copy of The Gargoyle. I'm not quite sure what I think of it. It was an entertaining read, I could hardly put it down after I started it. Its just that some things made it so I wouldn't recommend it to family and close friends. Like I understand that loosing his penis in the fire was a huge deal and part of his recovery, but I don't need to hear all the details of his past porno life and what not. Indeed the little story of when he discovered masturbation when he was little was hilarious, but it still makes me hesitate handing the book over to my mother.
I also picked up volumes 8 and 9 of D.Gray-man. Which absolutely rock. Not quite sure what I need to say about them, other than they rock...lol.
ALSO, finished the Twilight series. And I have to ask...wtf? It was fantastic, absolutly great!...for the first 3 books. I just don't understand the last one. If I wanted to read a fanfiction I could of just stayed home on my computer and not payed $14.99. Though a part of me will always love it, being part of such a great series. I just wish it was better thought through, had some action or something...rawr.

I also bought the first season of Yu Yu Hakusho...because I decided it is the shit. I love the anime and I hope that the rest of the season comes out soon! I think that only the first season is out right now...which is a bummer. I dont want to buy the other episode packages they have out there for Yu Yu Hakusho because they cost more. Poo.

I don't know how to make those separate pages, so for now, seeing as I have only 3 icons right now, I'll just post them right here. Woot? It started as me just wanting to make myself a logo, instead of using someone elses. So, its just one of Lenalee of D.gray-man and Misa? of Deathnote. *cough* Quite honestly I haven't watched too much of that series. lol.

Aaah it has been quite the week. Hmmm what has happened since the last time that I have posted? Nothing much I think. Life goes on as normal. Work isn't looking good. Apparently they are cutting back hours for all employees. I was one of the fortunate ones as had at least 10 hours last week...yep, that pays the bills. Its getting easier though each day that I work there. I'm not stressing, or about to have a nervous breakdown before I head in for work. Lol
I have read up to volume 7 of the D.gray-man series. I'm glad that I decided to read the series as well as watch the anime. It is defiantly one of my favorites. Though for volume 6 when Allen and Lenalee encountered the fallen one, it was probably a good thing that I 
Also I am re-watching Yu Yu Hakusho. I remember watching it as a kid with my brother, when it was on late at night on cartoon network. GREAT idea to re-watch it. I notice some things that they cut out on cartoon network, and it is totally hilarious. Love love love the anime. I'm thinking of buying the DVDs. BAH, but yes, I am totally low on money now-a-days.
I scheduled my college classes last week. I have a full schedule I guess. From about 10am to about 4:30 some days. I'm worried that it will make it hard for me to keep up a job...especially that I am considering quitting at Hastings and have basically told the animal clinic that I am leaving as soon as school starts. Have I just dug myself a financial grave?! Good thing I am *cough* living at home the first year of college and not renting an apartment or I wouldn't know what to do.
Also, *getting personal* feeling left out and excluded from my friends. I haven't heard much from them all summer. I am usually the one to call them up to do something. I guess they are all just busy with their jobs and what not...but still. Give a girl some love! Tis really boring just sitting at home on your time off reading, or what ever. Bleh.

Haven't gotten very far with "The Life of Pi". I have just been to busy to read it. And I don't think my family is planning to do anything for the 4th of July. Soooo I think a couple of friends and I are going to camp out in front of an amusement park for a few days and just go crazy. Should be fun!
- Mood: sore
And yes, I have been really busy lately. Working two part time jobs was much more difficult than I thought. I have not had a day off for over a week, and wont for another week. I'm exausted. It also very stressful because my new job is very stressful. How can there be so many rules and regulations to follow?! How can a company survive using a 40year old computer program!?
And I want to get the next few volumes of D.Gray-man now. But I work at the only entertainment store I go to lol. I think it would be awkward to buy my books from my coworkers. Lol And I can't check myself out of my friends or else I will compromise my "integrity". Lol
I saw The Love Guru and Get Smart yesterday. Get Smart was oh so funny! I heard that the reviews were bad, but everyone I've talked to thought it was hilarious. As for The Love Guru, it was ok, considering the fact I got in free. *Snuggles my theatre hookups*. It was a bunch of stupid humor, like Austin Powers. BUT there was one thing my friends and I found amazing. In the movie the love guru described some of his tattoos including one of Daffy Duck pushing a lawn mower through his pubes. This is AAAmaizing because my friend Eric had gotten a tattoo like that about a half of a year earlier of a pirate pushing a lawn mower though his pubs. Coincidence?!
Speaking of work. They had me come in for only 2 hours today! Waste of time. All I did was some training on the computer. Nothing with the cash register or anything. How am I supposed to do it all by myself next week if I have only done it once about a week ago?! Stress! Last time I kept dropping the change while handing it to the customers because my hands where shaking. Ugh. I got to man up and have some confidence. Confidence!

Yes yes, got completely distracted again. I never seem to be able to stay with something like this for more than a few weeks. Any ways, a looot has changed 'round here.
I finally graduated! It wasn't like it was a long shot but hey, its the completion of 12 years of schooling right? Its strange because I don't feel like I've accomplished all that much, or as if I feel empowered or something from finally graduating. Yes I'm going off to college and I'm an adult, but its not like its anything I'm excited about.
I'm working two part-time jobs right now. One at an animal clinic and the other at a store called Hastings. Just started at Hastings actually. Its just my second job and I really haven't had any customer service training so it was horribly intimidating just being thrown out at the cash register to fend for myself! Ah! And I hardly know how to run the thing. The people there are so boring, they are unenthusiastic and look like they need a power nap. Is it too much to ask for a few coworkers who don't act like the living dead?
Also had my wisdom teeth ripped out. I did NOTHING but sit on the couch drugged up on pain killers for 4 days while my face healed. Couldn't eat anything either! Lol still can't. Teeth are too sore!

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
But I do have to come up with a logo for my self for my graphic design class.
But I'm lazy! *sob*
Tonight my friend's band is playing at some battle of the bands. Freakishly excited! Hopefully they will win (though I am a little worried because their singer keeps forgetting the lyrics...)
ALSO! We dont have school tomorrow!
Another snow day!!!

But thats not all I have done today! I have been looking through the real estate postings all afternoon! I found a cute little brick house(Tis adorable). And I can almost/basically/somewhat/maybe afford it! Woot. Here is a picture of it. As you can see, it is INDEED adorable. I think I might start making anime icons for livejournal. I keep looking at other peoples and using theirs, and not making or using my own lol. We'll see. Depends on how much time I have between school and work. At least finals are over here! AAAAAaaaand I need the practice with photoshop. Bleh...

Well, I really haven't had too much time to be online lately. Senior year and all. I have been thinking for a long time about how I want to re-make my little portfolio web site, but decided it is just too much of a hassle. And besides! My account here is just going to waste because I never post here. I think I will just combine the two for now. Make this here my blog/portfolio/reading blog/whatever for now. Though I don't feel like spending money to upgrade my account here n_n lol.
Lets see here. Whats new. I was accepted to EWU!! Woot! I only applied to one school so I guess I'm lucky! I am looking for a small house to buy, even though its just a fantasy. There is nothing wrong with scanning over every single real-estate listing that one happens to pass by even if they cant afford to live in an apartment! Perfectly healthy. And I finally finished my senior project (thank goodness). Took a whole of three weeks to complete. I was working on it 24/7! BAH! I did it on graphic design because I'm still not sure if I really want to look for a career in it.
There is this one piece I did for November that I really love. I think it looks like a mountain, but my friends call it Heaven and Hell. I really don't look into things that deeply I guess. I'll post some examples of some of the pages as well as the Heaven and Hell, if I can figure out how to hide the pictures under a link here. *Noob*
BWAHAHA! I figured it out. ^^;;
