AniWhore

Been a while since I posted. Mostly I've just been laying around or sitting aimlessly at the computer playing stupid games. It's not that I don't have anything else better to do, it's just that I haven't been able to bring myself to do it. There are some things I have done though.

I'm finally caught up on my fanlistings. Everything that's happened recently really put me behind on everything, especially my sites and school. I'm really behind in school.

I've been anime oriented recently. I've made it to episode 18 of Speed Grapher (a really good anime, BTW), but now I'm reluctant to go on. I always do this, I zoom through a series but then I stop because I don't want it to end (mostly because I'm afraid of what's going to happen). It took me months to finish Hellsing because of that, and now I'm doing it with both Black Blood Brothers and Speed Grapher. I've made it to episode 3 of Code Geass. I initially didn't like it, I guess this sorta mecha, robot/sci-fi isn't really my thing, but I'm starting to like it more now. Not to offend anyone who's seen more and knows it better, but Lelouch sort of reminds me of Light from Death Note. An intelligent someone who's intentions are initially good, but end up messing themselves up through their actions.

I've been waiting for my mom to get me the Avatar Book 3, Volume 3 DVD but she hasn't yet, so I broke down and watch the Boiling Rock episodes online. OMG. Spoilers: I was not expecting for both Mai and Ty Lee to betray Azula. I though Mai might, because she'd side with her boyfriend, but Ty Lee? I could tell Azula was a little hurt by what Mai said, because she thought they were actually friends. Now we know a little more why Azula seems to be cracking up so much in the trailer - she's completely alone now. End spoilers.

A few posts ago I wrote that I messed up my foot pretty good. I did start walking again the Monday afterward, it was hard at first, but it got easier. It still hurts from time to time. I'm an extremely clumsy person though. A couple days ago I hit the exact same foot, exact same toes again on the book case. Then an hour later, I smashed the other foot into it! My mother was howling, she thought it was hilarious.

This weekend I'm going to hopefully finish up some anime and start some new ones (as you can see from my anime list I've got a lot to watch, and I still haven't finished adding to it yet), move NiamhMe.net to it's new host and domain, and move all my fanlistings over. Then I get the fun tast of revamping all my fanlistings, that's always a joy.

B, A and Anime

Bonnie hasn't been here for a few days, she's beens staying at her new apartment, but of course she has to ruin my weekend and come here tonight. That means I'm going to be stuck in my room until Saturday evening when hopefully my mom will take her and the rest of the stuff she left here over to her apartment. She's had 18 packages from HSN come here since she left. 18! That woman has a serious buying addiction. Two of them are for us (some new knives and a new vacuum), but still.

I've decided to buy Book 3, Volume 3 of Avatar when it comes out next month. It has both episodes of Burning Rock on it. They're the only ones on that DVD I haven't seen yet, when YTV played Avatar a few months back I cheated and watched them only since Nick were being jerks. They still are, not releasing any new avatar in July! So I'm just going to buy the DVD and watch those episodes till new ones come out.

Triad hasn't subbed anymore Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino episodes since April 13. *sigh* At least is was because they subbed the last episode of Kaiji. I guess this means they'll sub the last episode of GGIT too, even though they said they wouldn't do last eps. I've been watching the AnimeOST.net boards, and the Wannabe Fansubs boards for Sangakki news! There's still a lot of confusion about the new School Rumble coming out (every Wednesday the official site is updated, and there's always new episode titles coming out...), if they're going to do two OVA's then put a new season on TV (like they did for Ni Gakki), or what. I hope they do that, or at least release more OVAs.

BELIEVE

I believe. And I always have. Believe in what? Princess Azula. Avatar: The Last Airbender fans will know who I'm talking about. She's my favorite character in the series. She's the most interesting and the most complex. Most people write her off as a psychopath or a sociopath with no feelings. They said "The Beach" episode was filler and that Azula was OOC. Idiots. Episodes 2, 5, and 6 were very important and in no way filler. They all had the same message, even the Fire Nation are people with feelings, even Azula. 1:16 in the Nick released version of the final Avatar trailer.

On, Offline, and Leftovers

*tired* Not only is it midnight, but I've spent the last 6 hours working on version 9 of this site (when I haven't even put up version 8 yet, lol) and my fanlisting collective. Version 9 I designed myself. I didn't spend much time designing it, all I did was crop the image, but I spent hours coding it. I have to make sure everything is exactly spaced out (12px in this case), and making it look good. You can't use the same coding every time, and I'm not just talking about obvious things like colors. You have to find what particular font looks good, the right size, etc. I spent about 4 hours doing the coding. Then I worked on my fl collective. I have so much work to do on the collective. All my fanlistings are going to have new codes and layouts (if possible, some fls it's hard to find images), extra content like graphics, info, etc, new owned fanlistings descriptions (detailing my history with the subject and why I love it), and my wishlist linked to pages saying why I want that particular thing. As if I wasn't worn out from playing code whore, I decided to fix up my wishlist. I haven't even finished the Top 10's for TFL and TAL and I'm already up to over 2500 words. That's 2000 words more my previous post freaking out about that spider. This is why when applying to adopt and just in general they say no essays. joy

It's hard work I guess, but like I said these sites are my babies now and I thrive on this kind of thing. Gives me something to be proud of.

The new domain and next layout, version 8 by Stargazer will be up as soon as Blogsvertise pays me so I can get new hosting. I'm moving to a reseller account on Holdfire and the rest of my stuff is going to Fanst. After a couple months my version 9 will be up.

When my mom got home she gave me some great news - Bonnie got an apartment. I think my yelling at her worked. She's still not talking to me either meh

which is fine since I'm not talking to her. Oh, and I managed to kill that stalking spider. I wasn't able to stop him from coming out of the window, and he got within smacking range on the wall. Then I felt bad. Yep, I'm the type of person who feels bad about killing even insects, I mean he was just a bug (I say that now he's dead). Yeah, I was scared of him, but to a spider a person is a giant. I wish I could have just put him outside but it was so hard to hit him, he would have been impossible to catch.

Just some randomness that didn't make it into my last post...
1. "Lorenzo, baby. Lorenzo St. DuBois. But my friends call me L.S.D." The original The Producers was on the other night (Tuesday night) on TCM. While I like both the original and the musical version, drugged out Hitler is way better than gay Hitler (though he's funny as well). I think the original wins: advantages - L.S.D. and Gene Wilder, musical: Nathan Lane.
2. the other night (Wednesday night) I dreamt about manga. I'm so obsessed with Asian stuff that I'm dreaming about it now. I still own 0 manga and I've only even read one page (it was from Gunslinger Girl, and it was by accident). I've never been too concerned about the manga that my favorite animes are based on, I just thought "I'll get to it eventually," but now because of that stupid dream, brought on by that stupid page, I really feel like I'm missing something. But I don't have any money for manga or anything else right now.

Super Spiders

I hate bugs, all bugs. Well, not butterflies, potato bugs, or lady bugs, but spiders, silverfish, centipedes. All evil and digusting. It seems we have super spiders here. They know when you're coming to kill them and they hide. There was a big, fat, ugly one living under the doorway to outside in the kitchen. And one living near the closet door in front of the stairs. Then there was a red-pink spider that I killed in my room last year. The other day there was a big brown spider on the ceiling, and then he crawled into the trash can. I thought I grabbed him with a napkin but when I opened it he wasn't there. And the terryfing incident in my room of me vs the jumping spider. He won, and disapeared. He could still be up there somewhere, or he could be down here...

Yesterday I was sitting at the computer in the dining room doing school when I saw a shadow on the blinds. It was so strange I thought maybe a wasp got in a crack near the window or something. Then I saw a fat little leg creep over one of the blinds. I got up and then I saw two big fangs! orly

I hit the blinds with a notebook, but he disapeared. I kept looking for him the rest of the day, and this morning. About 20 minutes ago I was reading articles on some psychology websites, I looked over at the window and there he was, looking over the blinds at me! I stood up and he moved back. So I grabbed the notebook and wacked the blinds again. Nope, he was down at the bottom of the window, up on the ledge between the window sill and where it becomes the window. Then he lept down onto the sill. He's small, fat, and hairy with big fangs and a yellow spotted back.

I looked him up on the internet and found out he's a yellow jumping spider. Then I saw him again, on the sill under the blinds... watching me! orly

I read that jumping spiders got the ability so they can leap on their prey from a distance. He's going to eat me, I know it! The little bastard just kept looking at me, then he crawled a little bit, stopped and started starring again. And he just kept doing that, moving a little then stopping to look at me. And for a while we just sat there sizing eat other up. I lost against the last jumping spider, this is probably the same one coming back to finish me off. After that he crawed up onto the blinds and I couldn't see him anymore, only his shadow. Now I can't even see his shadow so I don't know where he went. AHHHH! There he is again I can see his shadow on the blinds. boohoo

He's slowly crawling up to the top of the blind he's on... and now he's looking at me again! I bent down on the table so he couldn't see me anymore, so he crawled up more!!! Ha! I just stood up, grabbed the notebook and held it over my head and he disapeared again! I swear to God he's after me!

For now I just want to keep him in the window area. I don't want him getting lose in the rest of the house or biting me or especially my baby kitty. I'll send my mom after him when she gets home tonight! I just have to fight him until 8 (8 hours from now), then he's her problem! I hate bugs! And I hate spring! I'm going to go hide in a corner... oh, he's looking at me again!!!

Edit: Oh, and since I can't get on MySpace to do this, happy birthday Stephen. You probably won't see this since you refuse to come on here, but at least I can say I did do it.

Bon Bon and Fandom Crap

When my mom called on Friday morning I told her that I was probably going to flip out on Bonnie soon, and lo and behold I did that night/Saturday morning. If you want to know what happened, click "read more" at the bottom of the blog.

Triad finally subbed episode 6 of Gunslinger Girl Il Teatrino since they finished subbing stupid Kaiji. I don't know what I'm going to do when they reach episode 12 though because Triad has this weird thing about refusing to sub the last episode of a show. So I'm going to watch almost the entire series and then get cut off just before the end. I'm just going to have to watch the RAW and have no idea what they're saying.

I have to work on revamping my collective and fanlistings (this site and my fls my babies now that I don't have any fansites anymore joy

). Thanks to the fire, Bonnie, my foot, and the problems I've been having with my stupid schools computer (somethings wrong with the power cord, like the problems headphones get where something gets disconnected) I had to ask for extensions for 2 of them (Anime: Harry Mackenzie and TV Show: The Moment of Truth). Yesterday I made 50 codes for my Nigel Uno fanlisting, then the cord moved and when I finally got the power working again I saw that only 1 of the codes had saved right. Now I get to start all over again.

I also got a new layout and domain for the site, and I'm saving my PayPal money for a new host. The layout I bought I had originally gotten for someone else. They never used it, and since no one else got it since then and I love it I got it for myself. I'm not going to tell you what the domain is, but I got the idea from someone's nickname (her name is Elisabeth) and it sort of works for me too because my middle name is Elizabeth. It's really cute joy

I like the new domain! Read More?

The Foot of the Matter

I'm really kicking myself right now. Or I would be if I wasn't one leg, if I kick myself I'd fall down. I'll explain. My mom told me on Tuesday that she was getting off early on Wednesday, at 2. 2 rolls around and she doesn't call. She doesn't call at 3, 4, or 5 either. So I'm pissed off. I really have to be psychic with her and predict when she's coming home and when she isn't, because she doesn't always call. I wait a few minutes and then get out a TV dinner. It's all messed up, half the corn completely imbeded in the brownie and I go through the messy and tedious task of picking it all out. I get lot's of chocolate under my finger nails before I realize that using a spoon would be better. About a minute after starting the TV dinner guess who calls? I didn't know at first because stupid Bonnie not only can't put the phone on the hook, she can't keep track of it. So I had to go upstairs, and of course my mom says she's at Bud's (a bar) and is going to order me a burger. I'm really pissed off. I just spent 10 minutes digging corn in a stupid TV dinner and then she calls right after I start it.

After I get back downstairs I search for the phone and can't find it. When the TV dinner is done I check the mashed potatoes because there's always something wrong with any microwave we get. It never cooks anything right. I check the potatoes and yep they're still frozen even though I've already put it on longer. When I get the potatoes warm and put butter on them they start overflowing in the little container they put them in and I end up droping some in the empty brownie comparment (you take the brownie out) some with the chicken, and some on the floor. After all this I'm already crying hysterically. It doesn't help when I get upstairs and find more corn in the brownie, and the chicken's all dry from being put in too long. Then I find a stupid post it note from Bonnie on my mom's bed saying to keep the windows open. I really hate being told what to do, especially from someone who doesn't live here, and doesn't own the windows she keeps trying to open and I keep closing. You think she'd figure something out that they were being closed for a reason. I'm really pissed off and I scrible in very messy writing "LEAVE THE WINDOW CLOSED!" I go back later to write "ALLIE CAN OPEN THEM!"

Now you're still wondering why I'm hopping around on one leg. Well I'm getting to that. All this crap contributed to this, all starting with my stupid decision to make the TV dinner. If I had just waited 20 more minutes none of this would have happened. I usually eat dinner in my room, using a corkboard as a tray. I keep the corkboard up against the wall behind a chair out of the way. Unfortunately I am an extremely clumsy person, and being angry doesn't help. It also doesn't help that I have such bad eyesight that I can't judge distance. So when I finished my dinner and got rid of the container I went to put the corkboard back behind the chair and before I even got to the wall I slammed the next to last toe on my right foot into the chairs leg. And I don't mean stubbed it, there was a crunching noise and I screamed. Even when I'm in pain I don't normally cry out, I just deal with it, it really has to hurt for me to yell. That sent my mom running up to me. She said "I hope nothing's broken" which made me even more angry because that would be something quite devastating for me. The toe started getting red, then the pinky, and it slowly progressed to the rest of the toes until all of them were on fire. I tried putting pressure on the foot but it hurt, so now I'm hopping aroud the house on one foot. If it's still like this tonight I'm going to once again ask my mom to get my old walker from my great aunt Cynthia's. I got it when I fractured my foot (the right one then, too) in the 3rd grade. I could use crutches so I had to get an old peoples walker.

I really think something's fractured or broken. Initially I could move the toe (using my hand anyway) without it hurting but now the whole thing is sort of stiff (probably in part because I refuse to flatten it out or move anything) and when a nerve makes one of the other toes twitch the toe I hit hurts, and when I flatten it out it hurts from where the toe connects to the foot, up into the foot itself. I really hate myself right now for all this. We don't have insurance (my mom tried to get Chips which is a free insurance program in PA but they said we don't make enough money) and even if were did there isn't much they can do for toes. I didn't get much sleep last night not just because it was difficult trying not to put any pressure (even blankets) on the foot, but because I could stop thinking. This is very scary. I'm going to be hopping around here however long it takes it to heal, which means I'm definitely not going to get to go anywhere (hop up the hill then hop onto a bus?) when I don't get out that often as it is, and when the foot/toe does heal it's not going to heal right. When it heals I'm probably not going to be able to move the toe much anymore, that whole part of the foot is going to be as stiff as it is now, and I probably won't be able to walk right. So now my already shitty life has taken a turn for the worse when I didn't think it was possible for it to get any worse than it already was. This family it truely cursed. Nothing good every happens only crap after crap after crap. Don't believe me? Start at the very beginning of this blog and see for yourself.
