Back in Gackt, Weekend Activities

I’ve been trying SO HARD to make myself a fucking new layout, but my inspiration and enthusiasm sucks right now. So I have cheated and gone for this premade Gackt layout, but let me tell you this, trying to code this premade layout for Wordpress is a nightmare! O_o I was about to give up on it, but then I managed it!

Anywho, I actually was busy for once this past weekend! YAY! Saturday, I went down to the fireworks festival with my friends that I’ve known since 6th grade. We went down to the fair for a bit. We rode two rides and that was enough for us. I swear that we’re getting too old for rides now. My tolerance for rides isn’t that great as it used to be back in the day. ^^; We came back and ate some yummy sandwiches! Later on that night, we planned on going to the beach the next day on Sunday. So Jess and I (Yesh we’re both Jessie’s) walked back to my house (which wasn’t far from the festival) just to get my swimsuit for the beach. By the time we got back, we still had time to spare before the fireworks started. We waited until they started. Our fireworks finale (Bay City has a three-day festival) on the third day was 45 minutes long. Here are some of the pictures I took from the fireworks.

On Sunday, we headed up to Oscoda to go to the beach. It doesn’t help that I got burned a bit on my back and shoulders (Well, they did have a bottle of lotion but we couldn’t find the bottle at home before we left and only had enough money for gas). We were there for a good three hours. Below are some more pictures!

Now I got back home this morning on the bus from their house and I got my Angelspit Krankhaus poster! Woohoo! I also got a card with Zoog’s signature and him thanking me for my support. How did I get the poster? from that $5 that Luana gave me for my birthday last year via PayPal! XD Now I gotta go straighten my hair and get ready for the mall so I can find a frame for my poster!

Feeling: Really Aroused <3
Listening: "Shi Ra Nui [feat. ANDRO from Gothika] " by Marlee
Surfing: MySpace
Time: 11.30PM EST

OMG! I found a miracle way for me to order stuff online: Visa gift card! It’s a credit card-like gift card. It’s really cool! Check it out at http://allaccessgift.com

I got mine last Wednesday. I first ordered Spectrum-X’s "Tea Party With Zombies" album and Angels On Acid’s "Eyes Behind The Curtain" album. YAY! Then I ordered Marlee’s "Drainage" and "Virtual Sex" albums Saturday night. Today is Monday and look what I already received in the mail:

Yup, that’s my Angels On Acid CD! I got it this morning! It also came with some flyer cards to other music artists from the record label. It’s a cool little way of advertising. ^_^ Oh yea, I forgot all about my Angelspit CD that I got from an online friend I met on the Angelspit forums ! That CD came in about a week and a half ago!

What you see in my hair are coloured synthetic hairclip extensions! Gotta support the underground! <3 <3 <3 Now I wait for my Marlee CDs to come. That will be a good two weeks as they are coming from Japan! I got like $23 left on my gift card. I should find something else to get. The Angelspit picture was taken about a week ago before I got my haircut. I cut my hair last Tuesday. I got about 2in. cut off, got layers, and got it thinned out. The Angels On Acid picture shows you my new haircut! *squee*

Graduation: I’m Free!

June 7th, 2008 | Under Events, Life, Music, School | 4 Comments »

Feeling: Clean and cooled off
Listening: "You Killed Me First " by Eve of Destiny
Surfing: Angelspit Forums
Time: 10.10AM EST

Oh joy, I’m overdue for a blog post, ya know? ^^; Well, a lot has happened over the last week or two. My dad came back for a week from Wyoming for my graduation, I went to Brittney ’s graduation party, went to my commencements ceremony (where I ended up getting sick twice during it XD), and the usual.

Mom and I had to go get my dad from MBS International Airport on 29 May. He was scheduled there for 3.13PM. We waited and he never got off. We assumed that he got a bit delayed from his Denver to Chicago flight. So we went into town and ate. OMG! I was killing a lot of apple crisp! Yum…^_^ We went back for the 6.21PM flight. That got delayed to 6.30PM, and then delayed again to 6.50PM. He finally got off at the 6.50PM flight. Then we get back home. Mom headed to the bathroom while Dad and I sat at the table. All of a sudden, out pops $1400 from his wallet to my hand! O_o That was part of my graduation money. I get the other half when he gets back out to Wyoming. XD

OMG! Friday, 30 May! I took $300 from that money dad gave me, snuck out of the house, and finally accomplished something: replace my missing PSP! Mom and Dad never even knew a thing. I bought Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII! The game kicks ass. *cha cha* Also, I talked to my aunt (from my dad’s side) who lives in Hawaii. She told me that I would be getting my card late. So I should be getting it either today or on Monday.

Brittney ’s graduation party was on 31 May. I went there after the library, as her house is 3 blocks behind it. XD I got there a litte early cos I wasn’t feeling good since that morning and I wanted to see if they needed any help. There really wasn’t much for me to do, so I chilled inside with Brittney helping her with her thank you cards for the adults that showed up for her party. After a while, Brittney needed to take a shower and her cousin, Tyler, and her brother, Tony, wanted to walk down a few blocks to the flea market to browse around. Hell, I went for the walk and breeze. We were getting ready to cross the street when her other cousin, Alicia, wanted to come. So the four of us wandered the flea market randomly for a while. We all looked around. Seeing as I wasn’t feeling good and needed something to snack on, I bought us a small bag of popcorn to share. I ate a little bit of it and all until I was ready for a nice ice cream sandwich all for myself! ^_^ We went back to the house and waited until people started to show up. All of our friends came after a while and we had fun. There was a cake fight, which I had nothing to do with except record it on the camera, and a water balloon fight, which I recorded as well. I still was feeling like shit, but I dealt with it. It was time for my to head back home on the bus at 5.30PM.

Sunday, 1 June, was our commencements ceremony for graduation. I woke up, head pounding everytime I wanted to sit up from the bed. I was feeling worse. I took a shower and chilled around the house until my grandparents from my dad’s side and my dad’s uncle came over for a while for some food. They all gave me cards with some money in it. Then Dad had to drop me off at school at 3PM cos I had to be there early to get ready. I ran into Brittney, Faith, and the other friends I knew. We chilled in the courtyard until we had to go into the stadium for the ceremony. I still was feeling bad, and almost got sick before getting into the stadium, but held off. We get to our seats and sat. Around 15 minutes after sitting there, I was starting to see white spots while my head was pounding. About 30 minutes into the program is when I lost it and had to get sick in front of me. It was nothing. Another 15 minutes after that, I got sick again. It wasn’t much either. Enough for me to rip some nearby grass out and cover it up. Then it was that time to go up and get our diploma cases (we don’t get the actual diploma until after the ceremony). I was the third to last row to get it. I come back to my seat and notice that someone apparently stepped in my covered up sickness…^^; It wasn’t me! lol After that, I get back home and take it easy.

Monday, I went to the mall and bought Yuffie! Now I have three Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children figures. Yuffie’s stand’s a bitch compared to Tifa and Vincent’s stands. Tuesday, I started to clean my room a bit. Wednesday, I chilled around here as it was Dad’s last day before heading back to Wyoming. I was up by 4AM Thursday to take Dad back to the airport. He had to be there for his 6AM flight. Took it easy after we dropped him off. Cleaned some more. Friday, it was way too hot to clean my room. >_< I ran into my grandma (from Mom’s side) at the library, and asked if I could go over there later. So I went over there yesterday to hang out for a while. Even though that my laptop was my graduation gift from them, they still had a card for me, with a bus pass and a $30 voucher to Chen’s Chinese Buffet. I’m kinda bleh on Chen’s right now, but the thing doesn’t expire. XD My aunt next door had a card for me with $10 and a purple synthetic hair clip in it. It’s just the right lenght for my hair! *cha cha*

Now it’s just a matter of time now for my Angelspit CD to come in the mail.  One of the forum members generously ordered it for me.  ^_^  He said it should be here by 11 June for me.  The new CD, "Blood Death Ivory" is gonna be signed by both Kurt (Zoog) and Amelia (DestroyX)!  YAY!  Now I wait…I’ll take pictures of it when it comes.  *waves*

Many Times (see below)

8.55 AM EST - 1 May: "Wolf" by Angelspit
Yesh, tomorrow, adulthood will take over for the rest of my life! Meh. ^^; I’ve already been mature since I was like 14. Around the time I met Rinny (I’ve actually known her since I was 13). Then I met through Rinny’s old Kumi Koda forums, Ellene and Ranken . Then through Rinny, I met Afef . Looking back at those days makes me feel old. Wow! Life goes by fast. Since January 2004 when I met Rinny, I watched her get older and watched her cute little daughter, Lily, grow. She was about 1 1/2 years old or so when I first seen pictures of her. Now she’s going to be 6 this year! She has gotten so cute over the years. Yea. Now times are just going by so fast, it’s crazy. I’ll be adding more to this journal later on today and throughout the weekend, so there will be small sections like these being added. Be sure to come back here and check constantly! There really isn’t much else to type right now, cos I’m at the Career Centre right now with all my stuff done up to now. We’re supposed to be working on something else here in 5 minutes.

3.40 PM EST - 1 May: "Beautiful Fighters" by Ayumi Hamasaki
No birthday cards yet in the mail, but another EGM magazine came in today. I’ll prolly check it out later. I so want to get into drawing a picture today, but kind of lack the motivation again. *sighs* Damn, lunch sucked today. Brittney wasn’t at the lunch table today until the last 5 minutes. She then showed up and started to complain about the usual crap about certain people. I just got so fucking tired of it that I was starting to yell at her. Then one of the people associated with the person we have suck great fucking problems with random sat at our table just to piss us off. I fucking stormed out of the cafeteria. Good thing that I had art class today and that Mary was there. She’s one of the select few who are on my good side! The thing about her is that she doesn’t associate with any of the people I hang with. Yea! We finished glazing my pot and helped another girl at our table finish glazing her strawberry-shaped pot. We then has a half-hour left before 6th hour. We either could start gathering ideas for our next project or try out some of the teacher’s new art stuff she had. So we used the watercolour crayons. I drew a random picture of Mary and wrote her name in block letters, while she drew a cow face and made it a mask! Moo! 6th hour was actually easy today. All we did were in-class worksheets. Then we went over them. Then Seminar came. My neighbour, Holly, was telling me her bad news about her dogs. Yesterday, they had to put one dog down, cos she has really bad hips and it was hurting her. Ginger (dog) was like 7 years old. Then she said today that they were going to have to put down Sam, Ginger’s son. He had a cancer/tumour (whatever it was) on his face a while ago and had it removed. She said that it grew back and got larger. I think Sam would have been 5-6 years old. So the only dog they have left is Murphy, the dad of Sam. Wow, that really sucks. At least she has one dog left. Yup, now Mom and I wait for my aunt to get over to Little Caesar’s Pizza (she works there) then we will be getting a pizza from there. XD

7.15 AM EST - 2 May: "Tifa’s Theme" from Final Fantasy VII OST
YAY! I wanted to sleep in for another hour but my body says no, prolly cos my back is sore right now. >_< Okay the only question that I have is this: "Does anyone know how to change the text colour for my comments table. All the text in there when you try to comment to any blog post is all white. I want to change it to black, but don’t know how." Help poor Ravie! XD

8.00 AM EST - 3 May: "Usagi" by Kana
Wow! Afef has finally been pushed away from her number one spot on my blog exchange list! XD Adele is in front now! Adele was my first ever online friend I had in January 2004! It was her a week or two after where I met Rinny through Adele’s old forums on her super old web domain! *cha cha*

11.00 AM EST - 3 May: "Links 2 3 4" by Rammstein
Lookie what Afef just made me!  I kept telling her no, but she said it would break "tradition".  O_O http://ichigo-88.deviantart.com/art/Happy-18th-Ravie-84605098
