Today I had to stay home most of the day so that I could get a package. My friend Brooke and I figured that if I had to stay in maybe we could watch a movie. So right before we left the package arrived but we continued on with our plans. We went to Wal-Mart and bought The Incredibles becuase the price was most incredible there. Then we picked up food and went back to the house. After we ate my co-worker brought over the PS2 and we figured out how to hook it up. Then me and Brooke played the Kingdom Hearts game I had bought, but since I had not bought a memory card we had no way to save it. After that we watched the movie and she left. Later on in the evening I went out with my mom to do a little clothes shopping and I bought my memory card.

Problem w/ Kingdom Hearts: I think I have to go out and get the book already, either that or my game is flawed. I already got the two mushrooms Kairi asked for but she's saying I only have 1. It may be because I accidentaly picked it up during another test. So now it's not there and i'm screwed. Ok, so this is a little upsetting because I don't want to start over in order to fix it but if I have to I guess I will.

Now i'm finally going to do what i've been saying I was going to do for weeks. Sit down and watch some movies.

Yay, to everyone who celebrated White Day! All my friends mean so much to me and i'm glad we are all there for each other. I was going to make everyone of my friends little goodies for White Day but it came up sooner than I expected.

Guess what?! I'm getting a PS2 tomorrow! I'm buying it from a co-worker who really needs the money. He's ony charging me $40 and giving me 3 games. The games will interest my dad more than me, so he can play them. I went to Target on my break and bought Kingdom Hearts so i'll have something to play. So yeah, you wont see me for the rest of Spring Break b/c i'll be glued to the PS2. Anyone got any ideas for any good games I might want to get? I was considering buying the FMA game.

Reasons why you should get a Nintendo DS.

Fullmetal Alchemist "All New" game to be released on the Nintendo DS

And a Shockwave FMA Game

Today I went with my friend Brooke and met up with the crew to see Robots at the OMP. It was a good movie, the animation was really cool and it was funny too. I can't compare it to anything though b/c I didn't think it was as good as other 3-d movies. After we saw the movie I went with Brooke to Barnes and Noble and then Hallmark. She was looking for some book she wanted. After hanging out at FYE she wanted to go to Borders and look for her book. We went over there and she was complaining she was hungry and wanted to go to Steak n' Shake. Well i didn't want to blow off my other friends so I told her I would just take her home and she could eat there. I've decided to no longer mix friends, especially since Brooke is so opinionated she would probably put down an anime and we would have mass chaos, she doen't "get" anime. So I went back to the mall and hung out with everyone till they left. We ate dinner and then went our separate ways. See I was too tired to list everyone out.

Interesting movies to come: (Shown in the previews)
Star Wars Episode III (a must see)
Ice Age 2 (interesting)
Zathura (i wonder about this one?)
Kicking & Screaming (Will Ferrell, need I say more)

Fruits Basket Fans:
The TOKYOPOP website is updated for Fruits Bakset with some little blurbs on the back of books 10-12. It's quite interesting.

Not much going on today. I filled in for someone at work. I hate working Fridays! Basically that was my whole day. Some Spring Break this is turning out to be thus far.


You are a narrative writer. Usually a writer of
stories rather than poetry, you grew up reading
Shakespeare's less popular and heard of
plays--like King Lear or the Henry series. Your
writing contains a certain order and
organization--be it chronological or otherwise.
If you are to write poetry, it has to convey a
logical (or perhaps unreal) story with some
sort of order behind it.


What's YOUR Writing Style?

Yeah that's right *looks at title of journal* :P My last class today ended at 4:30 pm. I have no more classes for a week, which doesn't mean that I have nothing to do for school :( Kinda depressed but kinda happy all at the same time. It's a Happy-sad day.

I changed my mood theme. It's finally customizeded and FMA style. More info is on my Info page which is also updated, a little.

I'm really happy because my manga has been turned into an anime and I found the official website today. I can't wait until it gets to the states. Probably be a year or so though. I'm putting the link below so I can find it and anyone who is intersted. Oh, and my favorite J-pop singer is doing the ending song, Maaya Sakamoto.

Tsubasa Chronicle

I'm going to go watch anime until [adult swim] comes on. Let spring break begin!

So today was uneventful. It was cold and wet outside all day. I had to blow off my meet-up with someone cause I had to much to do. I decided to take a little break from schoolwork and make a colorbar, my first one. It's for Tsubasa/Cardcaptor Sakura. You can check it out here.

Yesterday I joined leaky_cauldron and my_cat_is_satan.

( DO NOT READ )

Yeah so i thought I would be the first to put this up, but I was watching the Today show this morning and they showed the cover of the new Harry Potter book on the show. I was almost going to hop on my PC and tell everyone I saw it, but it seems aboyandhisrobot beat me to it. Anyway if you want to see the cover go to cmer's journal. She has it posted.

Everytime I walk into my room I get this strong smell of plastic when I walk past my bookshelf. It is a constant reminder of my weekend at MegaCon b/c either my Ed, Roy, or Sakura figures are penetrating through the air.

Anyway I had to present a project to a kid for my creative problem solving class. I had to give them a project that would be both fun and would allow them to learn, I chose to teach the Recorder, a musical instrument.
( Presentation w/ Pictures )

Yay, FMA tonight, must not forget to watch.

Well after my rant yesterday about the teacher I loathe and want to kill, I talked with him after class. Seems I got an "F" because I did too much on the test. Yes, you read right too much. So the students who didn't do as much as I did got higher grades. Yeah, well anyway the tacher did curve it somehow and I have a "C" in there currently. I felt so bad for a guy in my class b/c the teacher told him that he was mediocre and would most likely fail, and that his work was in no way outstanding. If I was him i'd just want to punch the teacher.

Well I was bored earlier and while trying to keep my mind off of the little talk I was to have with the teacher started to create a new community. I don't really plan on running it much but plan to find myself another mod who will take it over. The name of the community is called fma_hush and is an Icon awards community for FMA. The "hush" part means that you can't have any text in your icons, just emotions and actions that express the theme.

I'm going to need to get some sleep, I almost fell asleep in my HoAF class today. True the lights were turned off and my friend wasn't there to keep me awake, but I think I still need to catch up on my sleep.

Yes, thats right I have an F right now in my class. The class i'm killing myself for, and the class I knocked back a day at work for, is giving me an F right now. I do other peoples work in this class so that i don't fail and I have an F. If I withdrawal from this class I may not be able to get into my program for another year, but if I fail my GPA will go down. This sucks. I still have one grade forgiveness left so this class might be the one I use it on. The class average on the mid-term was a 65. WTF! and this teacher thinks that's good? Not a single person in this class got an A on the final. A guy in one of my classes says that the teacher didn't give out grades in his class until the end and mostly everyone failed. Oh, so many dilemmas, i'm so pissed. I am not one who fails tests, especially mid-terms. I work my ass off in this class and it gets me no where. I'm so tired of school, i just want to quit. I hate this class! I hate this teacher! He can go to hell, and I never say that ever. AHHHH! I wanna cry and at the same time I want to kick some ass.

First news: I changed my Mokona icon that I first started with, to a new Mokona icon. I figured after 6 months of being on lj it was time for a change.

Today I had a presentation which I think I did horrible at and ruined for my group, but well thats over now. But I could be wrong, we'll just have to see.

So getting to the title of this entry... My professor was talking about some show today called Robot Chicken which I was under the impression that it was on [adult swim]. AJ and myself were all like thinking if the teacher watches [adult swim] regularly. So after class we waited and asked him if he watches it. To me I figured this guy was a Futurama and Family Guy kinda person. He told us "yes" that he mostly watches saturday nights. So of'course we asked him what he watches and he says mainly Fullmetal Alchemist. This guy is like my dads age or older, so it was like my dad saying he watches it. I was actually all like "wow" I would have so never pegged this guy as an anime fan.

Also today one of my suspicions came true. A couple of weeks ago I had a visitor in my class and everytime the guy talked one of my TAs was grinning ear to ear. I had for a long time thought the guy was gay but didn't want to be wrong. Well anyway much outside of class the other TA in my class told me, when i asked, that the visitor was the boyfriend of the first TA. I was right ^_^

"Orlando must have the biggest concentration of geeks."
~guy in my Prob. Solving class

This weeked was crazy crazy. Of'course technically my weekend starts on Friday cause I have no school that day. I know your jealous right now.

Friday: Around 4:00 pm I set off to go to the bank. The Girl Scouts were there and practically smothered me until I bought some cookies. So of'course I bought a box of thin mints. Then I headed over to orcapotter's (kim) house. orianna_summers (Manda) was already there and they were watching My Big Fat Greek Wedding. We finished watching that and hermione_like (Dixie) came over and then watched the last hour or so of Matrix Revolutions. After a really great dinner of hot dogs and hamburgers we watched episodes of the first volume of Azumanga Daioh!. Then we decided to switch and watch the 2nd Inuyasha movie. We each either had a Smirnoff or a wine cooler as we watched. We thought we should make a drinking game everytime Inuyasha yelled out Kagome or everytime Kagome said Inuyasha but we didn't do that. We spent the night giggling about the movie and just being silly. We went to be around 12:30 am so we could wake up early to get to MegaCon.

Saturday: We all woke up around 6:15 am. It took us a little longer than we had planned but we got out of the house close to on time. Manda dressed up in a school-girl outfit, Kim wore a FMA shirt, and Dixie her Azkaban shirt. We picked up aboyandhisrobot (Ben) and set off. We listened to the FMA soundtrak in the car as we drove on the greenway towards the convention center.

( Adventures at MegaCon )

Sunday: Where to begin... Well I get to waork and I already knew we were going to be one less cashier today, but we were also short another employee. We also had a problem with the phone system b/c the power had gone out before I got there. We couldn't page over the intercom, put people on hold, transfer their calls, or really do anything. It was just crazy. I am so wiped out from it all right now. I had to practically run around the store and appoligize to people every couple of minutes. I just kept saying "Please, don't ever let me have a day like this again." Well I got home and looked at my icon lj. I had to update the results of my community. I looked at the fma_awards post and both myslef and orcapixels aka orcapotter made the top 3. And we were going against 23 icons. Yay, i'm so happy b/c it was just a simple idea that came to me and I didn't even think it was my best. I didn't even get around to voting with everything going on and all. You can see these icons here.

So now this weekend is coming to a close and as I hear the breeze of the wind outside I am reminded that the wind will eventually end and so has this weekend.

Since I was 4 all I wanted to be was an animator. No matter what I can't give up on that dream. It's all I know, it's what I will be. I will never give up that dream and will continue to travel that path.
~my thoughts as the VL meeting went on

Tonight I went to this meeting for only Visual Langauge students. It was really boring and they basically told us nothing. But next tuesday they are going to have an open house down at the new Digital Media building and anyone is welcome to attend. They're going to show off student work and all the facilites. I have to go so I can hopefully suck up to the proffs and get them to give me overrides. The only problem is that I won't have classes on campus anymore but at the new building. But I may have a class still on campus too.

I'm sure some people have done some of these too, so if you have i'd like to know.
( 10 things I've done )

God was looking out for my behaf this week. Although I am in pain now I know this was done so that I wouldn't feel this way on saturday.

I was appalled to find that someone was using one fo my icons that I posted and didn't give anyone permission to use. I told her it was ok as long as she credits me, but it pissed me off. It was my example icon on my comm and it wasn't intended for any other use. She could have at least asked. It was this icon that i'm using.

My friend Tindy called and asked if I wanted to Spring break with her in Daytona. I thought about it and have decided not to do it. She wants to stay in a hotel monday through friday. I might stop by and hang out but I don't think I want to do the whole hotel spring break thing.

This morning I wake up to my dad screaming at me that there is a message on the machine that says that I need to call a number b/c someone was trying to use my card. Well personally I thought the way the message was that it sounded funny, so I went down to the bank. They had closed my card b/c someone tried to make a $500 purchase in Rhode Island. The girl asked me if I had been to Rhose Island lately. Uh yeah, busy college student, so that'd be a no. Well anyway I have to get a new card and I don't know what to do about cash until I get it.

My mom went out to Sam's club today and brought back Shark Tale. We hadn't seem it and my mom thought it was cute. When I was messing around the features under subtitles there is a sign in the back that says "Toshi's". I laughed right away b/c that is the name of my betta fish Toshi.

I decided I wanted to draw last night and drew Ed Elric from the anime FMA. It's not good, or original (I looked at another picture to do it) but it was my first time doing it so I'm pleased.

Today was so much better. I wore my quartz necklace and it seemed to channel all the negative energy away. I did't have to present my bad project and one of my other projects seemed to go pretty well. I'm actually catching the program I missed on saturday right now. Things are looking up for now.

I made icons on my icon journal. Briefly I stole the idea recently shown to me by cmer used on _nocredit.

(Click to see my icons)

OMG today has been horrible. I had so many problems that I wont even go into most of them. For one I had to practically do everyone's job in my group. One guy is having surgery and another persons grandma died. Two things I know we can't change but it put a big burden on me cause I had to do everything. I'm still not done and I had to take many breaks because the assignment was driving me crazy. I just realized that I have another assignment due. Screw it i'm tired. It's supposed to be done on the PC, well i'll just make it really neatly handwritten. oh wait I can't do that b/c he said he would just throw it away if it was. Damn it. I'm to tired I don't care. Maybe I can do it quickly tomorrow morning before school. Ahh will the weekend ever come. Oh wait I have mucho finals to study for on the weekend. Ok MegaCon is that soon? Well i'll have to cram all my stuff on that friday b/c I have to work Sunday and monday. When is spring break?

I broke down about 5 times and had major crying sessions when I realised that it was to much. I have three new pimples from the stress and it's pissing me off even more. Well I think I will finally be able to get some sleep. Some not much. This was worse than when i had art classes.
