Layout thievery
I was browsing for reference information on Wikipedia, and came upon an Aika Mitsui fansite. I was really excited, because I planned to make one myself but if someone had beat me to it I thought that was showing good initiative. So, imagine my surprise when the layout looked eerily familiar. I knew it was a free layout, and it only took me a few minutes to find where it had come from: dixy-pixy.org. Here is a preview of the original layout. Now, I know most design makers don’t allow people to edit their layout, but I had to make sure, especially since aikamitsui.free.fr lacked any credit for the original maker. Sure enough, this text is right from the layout’s preview:
"Please do not remove the credits. And please do not modify the image. Thank you."
The person from aikamitsui.free.fr poorly edited the image so that Aika Mitsui was the main feature.
Now it’s been a long time since I’ve actually caught anyone thieving layouts but it always makes me a little angry when I see it happening. People put a lot of hard work into their layouts and just ask for a little credit and respect not to edit their hard work. Seeing someone have the audacity to not only do one, but do both, is a little more than sickening. The worst part about it? The creator accepting compliments on the layout s/he didn’t even make. Blech.

Dreams
Last night I had a dream that Ethan died. It was upsetting.. I’m not sure why. I haven’t talked to him in over a year, yet his deviantart says he came online two days ago. I bugged him by sending him a note, but I think he’s just trying to get on with his life. I should probably respect that, but I’m not. Ha!
Kiah’s been not on for a few days also, so I feel a little lonely. I barely have any good friends, so I need to make some (any takers?). Right now there’s just Kiah and Dustin. I’ve actually started to play video games again, and a racing game at that, so it shows that I really lack any friends.
Also, dad made me feel bad when we were eating out. I mentioned wanting to get a Curves membership this summer since one just opened up around us. He said it was okay, but about ten minutes later he retaliated with “Didn’t I just spend $100 on contacts you don’t even want?” which prompted me to say something along the lines of “I do! I just lost one!” and we got into a big discussion/argument over that. I felt really bad, because it made me think he thought my eyesight and health were unworthy expenses.
I still want to be able to wear Baby The Stars Shine Bright clothes. That means somehow I’ll have to get down to a size 9, and then I’ll have to get the money to actually buy them. I think the weight will be more of an issue than the money.. But that is my dream. So I guess the post title means both physical dreams, and life dreams, even those which can be considered unobtainable.. but I don’t consider btssb to be unobtainable. Just unlikely.

Contacts
I got contacts! Wooh, about time. I hated having to take my glasses off to read because they were so dirty. Um.. There’s not much else going on in my life. I’m going to go to Japanese class tomorrow for once, because I’ve been ditching it for the past few weeks because of the weather and stuff. I hope Matychuk-san isn’t angry
edit: She wasn’t mad, she even hugged me. I also told her I have been recently listening to Pink Lady. I said I liked Southpaw and Nagisa no Sindbad, and she said she liked Nagisa no Sindbad a lot too. She also explained shikata ga nai and mannen to me, which lead to an explanation of banzai, haha.

an update for the weekend
OK, so here’s my weekend! Well, how it went, anyway.
At the beginning of the weekend, on Saturday (before Amanda came over), Steve, Danny, Caleb, and I were all playing Mario Party 5. It was all good and dandy, even after Amanda came over. Until Steve got his attitude about losing. It seemed he got mad because I kept winning all the mini games, but he obviously was just pretending to be mad so he could quit and jump onto the computer.
Ah well, he came back and we played another round or two. Things got really fucking boring after Amanda started playing Soul Calibur 2 practice mode, where we just got to sit there and watch her play. So I started talking to Caleb and writing notes back and forth, it was nice kinda. I spent half of the night watching Amanda play that stupid Soul Calibur practice mode. I ended up waking up on the couch, so apparently I passed out.
Yesterday I saw Seed of Chuckie. It was pretty funny, but it was trying to be more funny than it was, like that guy in the office/school who tries to be funny all of the time and only is funny 3/4ths of the time? Yeah, SoC (Seed of Chuckie) was that guy. But yeah, I’m glad I saw that instead of Spongebob. SoC set up for a sequel so in 2007 or whenever, be prepared for another one! Probably! That series refuses to die!
Grr.
People are really starting to piss me off. I mean my "friends". I don't want to write anything here because I'm afraid one of the people that pissed me off the most will read it, so I will just say that they were pissing me off, seriously.
At least I have my boyfriend.

What a fucker.
On DC++ it takes HOURS to get a slot to download from someone. I had a slot from a really popular person, which took me about 6 or 7 hours to get, and my brother RESTARTS THE COMPUTER and I lose the slot. I fucking have the urge to hide his memory card for 6 hours, then maybe he'll know how it feels. I'm glad he left or I'm sure I would've went off of him, the fucker.
My full day in detail
First Hour - It's a friday which makes me happy. I had a dream about amanda sending me a ffx yuna wallpaper.. O_o; I have a test in this social studies geography history whatever the fuck this class is, in spanish, and that 'advanced' pack for computers. I'm so gonna fail this test.
Second Hour - I failed the eyetest that they pulled us out of class for. Wee.
Fourth Hour - Geometry was FUN!? Wtf? We did jeapordy.. that's spelled wrong. But I was really good at certain types of questions.. so like. Yeah. Time to fail this science class thing test! (How many tests have I failed today? 1st hr, eye test, 2nd hour, this hour.. no more tests after this, though).
Later fourth hour - Volk marked me down for 'writing' on his test. As if I wasn't already going to fail. I will now make it my life's goal to 'write' on all his tests. The ass. He was like, "I take points off for people who write on my tests", and I said "like i care." Cause it's true-- a failing grade is a failing grade.
Fifth hour - I'm doing misc things like checking old emails and stuff and deleting unneeded things off of RE. There's a sub in this class and she seems like a REAL bitch. I'm gonna update my blog or something.
Sixth hour - Wow, we're watching Michael Jackson videos since there's a pep rally at the end of the day. This guy cracks me up. I keep thinking of funny things to write and then I keep forgetting about them. Fuck. Well. Time for pep rally.

Dad said we might be able to get Mario 64 when we get home so all I have to do is deal with 6th hour pep rally. Woot! More to write later.
I want to complain...
I thought it was time for a bitchy entry. So here goes.
- Makai refuses to stay over at my house overnight.
- 30mb video is taking AGES to download, even though I'm getting about 50 kbps internet connection.
- Audioscrobbler has been down for a week now.
- I want to make brilliant graphics and websites.
- I can't join choir again until January of this year.
- I get marked down for sleeping in class.
- This layout looks funny in lower resolutions, the boxes box up.
- I'm fucking freezing.
- I have to pick up after Makai's mess.
- Danny and Caleb are coming over.
- I'm hungry, there's tons of food, and I'm just too lazy to get up.
What a weird dream.
I had a weird dream about sex with Bates and zombies. Care to read more?
Raagh. It was a good dream at first. We were at my gramma's house (wtf?) and out in the garage, going at each other, but I kept being interrupted by my mother or grandmother calling me into the house to put on my jacket. Which was odd, because I didn't have any clothes on, and they wanted me to put a JACKET on? Oh well.
That part of the dream ended, and I woke up about 9:00 AM, thinking it was 9:00 PM and looking out the window, thankfully it was only AM. Then I went back to sleep and had the zombie dream.
Some of the characters from Resident Evil were in the dream, kept in a house by a crazy person that sent zombies for them. There was a lot of romance between Claire Redfield and.. another boy in blue from the games, I just couldn't remember who he was. So when zombies interfered, I didn't mind.. but it was so sad. The rest of them had to sit on a tall bed and watch the boy shoot the zombies, and he made it through all the zombies. They then were about to be allowed to be let out, but this has happened many times in my dream: the crazy guy locks them in the house instead. I yelled out "run for the door!" and we/they did, only to come to a crossroad: go up the stairs or go down? The logical thing would be to go down to where the exit was, but we didn't, we went up and there were more zombies. We broke the window and jumped out, we all survived except there were zombies down on the streets. There was no way we could win, so I shouted out "Quick, push "Start" and "Restart mission"! And then one of them whined, "But then we'll have to see ourselves be eaten!" so I said "Then quick, turn off the playstation!" and no one did and we all got eaten.
The end. =x Scary dream that was, though.. And I ended up waking up at about 10:00 AM. So the dream only took an hour. XD

HA!
I just proved that Amanda doesn't REALLY like j-rock/visual kei. I showed her the "jealous" video for Dir en Grey which is almost 7 minutes long and she sat through 2 minutes and then got so bored (or disgusted) and left. So that's what she gets for getting into an obsession without thinking.
Our night has been fun so far, though...
She came over when dad wasn't home, but I already got permission from him. It started out really fun-- we hadn't seen each other in a couple of weeks so we had missed each other. The fun wore off about an hour in or so . . Shrug. We DID play the personality profiler thing I have. It was fun to see our "personality profiles". But now she's playing Spiderman 2 without a memory card, what a waste of time. =__=;
Other than that, I made a subpage on my domain just to link to this blog. How nice am I? Click. It's just an enter page to this one, but whatever. XD

Mom's Message
Raah. My mom called and was like "I don't want anything to do with you or your kids", so WTF? Well, I disown her as my mother, then. Fucker.
nothin to do at school
Well, writing from school again. Not much else to do.. just got finished with my assignment. Trying not to get seen by the teacher, I guess, he's pretty cool he wouldn't mind. I guess I'll write more later, I just needed something to do.. o_O
Resident Evil: Apocalypse
It was such a good movie.. ^^; Jill Valentine was so much like the one from the game! Going back and playing Resident Evil: Director's Cut showed me just how cheesy of a game it was, though. It had such bad actors! It was funny sort of.. but Resident Evil had good actors.
Now they'll never be able to track me!
Mwaha! Finally. A private blog. I want to thank m-p.net for hosting. I’ll get a layout set up in a second.. Wow. This is spiffy. ^__^
Whoops
Well, nothing much happened today.
I fixed up the journal even though some of the text is hard to read. Can anyone help me with that?
Well, I’m going to go post on my other journal, seeya.

Allison, Mikayla, and Steve
"Techno would keep me up all night and day cleaning." ~Allison
Yesterday evening steve's condition was so bad that he had to go to the hospital. We stayed there for so long that was too tired for school and dad didn't care.
Because he was at work when we took Steve to the hospital. His girlfriend (Allison, who we might be moving in with) brought us there. Us as in her 6 year old child Mikayla and Steve. Mikayla's the kewlest 6 year old lil girl I've ever seen!
WHoO HoO.

Oh and P.S.~ I got a CrazyLife! I won't be using it (only to comment) but if you wanna check it out you can!

4 day vacation
Coming to school after a 4 day vacation was amazing. Everyone was surprised to see me.
"Knowledge is like baths. Only comes once a year." -Steve imitating Chris. That was funny. Since my dad brings Josh back and forth to school we were all laughing about it. He also said "Same shirt, different day".
I was tired today.
Well everyone loved the FFX-2 pictures. They took them and now they want more xD
Well I'll write more later (when I think of it!)
Next update I'll install the kewlerific icon ~ it's going to be my default. It has Paine on it.
See yahz

BLAAAH, to much schoolwork!
I've decided that since I have four online journals, I'd make this one kind of like a school one which would tell about homework, projects, school functions/events, etc. Sounds good to me at least.
So, I had today off since it is Veteran's Day. I should be doing homework now instead of posting in this but I'll just do the homework later.
Tomorrow in Homebase we get report cards. I'm kind of nervous about the Earth Science and World History grades since those were the low ones (C/D) on my Progress Report.
I have to write a three page essay and type it tonight for English. I also have a science test to study for and a Latin translation thing. I should probably do my math homework to and study for my Latin and Math test so that tomorrow night I'll be able to play RE0 without having to worry about homework.
