I went to bed at around 10:30pm... woke up at about 1:30am or 2am for no real reason, and now I can't get to sleep again. It's almost 4am!!! I have to get up for work in 2 hours! ;_; This sucks!
I'm just... AWAKE. There's no real explanation. My body was like "oh, okay, I'll just get up like it's day time now." GEE THANKS. >_< I try to force myself to go to sleep but it's just not happening. Nothing I do helps, either... like getting cold from standing outside and then trying to get all comfy in bed, to reading, to even snacking on something... ARGH. >_< I only had 2 cups of coffee yesterday morning too, so wtf.
Man... tomorrow is going to be HORRIBLE. I don't know how I'm going to get through the day. @_@ Even with copious amounts of caffiene, it's just going to make me so hyper on magic coffee/sugar drugs that I won't be able to sit still and focus on much of anything. >_>;;
Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. x_x *dread*
QUICK!!!! AWESOME SLAYERS FAN FRIENDS!!! ASSEMBLE!!!
I need your help! :0
I'm trying to come up with icons for my three Slayers shrines for Zelgadiss, Xelloss and Valgarv. What items do you guys first think of when you think of these three characters, that would best represent them?
I'm not sure why but this is proving to be so freaking difficult! I figure you guys would be able to help. Xelloss isn't so bad, it's mostly Zelgadiss and Valgarv that are giving me difficulties. Any ideas are appreciated!! <3
Long story short, I had to take a hiatus from making fan sites but now I'm back to it! I got a brand new PC put together a week or two ago and now that I have this awesome little workstation set up, I can finally just sit down and do some website stuff! Feels pretty good!
I'm debating on whether or not I should really talk about what I'm doing in particular too much. I want to say that I don't want people to get their hopes up, but that implies that there are actually people who would... XD I think Genrou.com has seriously collected a lot of dust and has fallen out of the circle, so to speak. Well, I want to change that! I think a new design will really freshen things up, but I feel like that still wouldn't be much of a draw for people to come visit or even link to it anymore...
...which means I really have to update the sites themselves. Of course, I actually WANT to, so it's not so much "have to". XD I'm writing up some content for some sites right now, actually... I want to do some new layouts but I have to build up my resources again. If anyone has some awesome brush/texture/pattern sites they could link me to, that'd be so appreciated. <3 I have a bunch somewhere but I'd like something new if anyone knows of anything. :> Tellll meeeee!! :L
Day 2 in the "Plan to take care of my body so I don't haphazardly kill myself via malnutrition or scurvy" is underway! And off to a good start, too!
I haven't gone to a doctor yet (they terrify me; if only they were all like Chopper.. ;_;), but we figure that my dizzy spells are related to some kind of deficiency. And to be brutally honest, I don't drink enough water in a day or eat well enough at all. I kinda suck. A lot. So I'm trying really hard to go back on track (if I ever WAS on track to begin with).
I started yesterday morning and this morning off by having a slice of toast with a nice glass of cold water and a multivitamin. The bottle says it has TWENTY-NINE minerals and vitamins and that it's for "PERFORMANCE DRIVEN ADULTS". I AM A PERFORMANCE DRIVEN ADULT. THIS IS GOOD. YES. Also, yesterday I had a bagel with cream cheese and today I'm bringing in a slice of cheese with two pieces of bacon and an english muffin to construct my own SANDWICH OF DOOM. I'll have tacos for lunch and I honestly can't remember what we were supposed to have for dinner tonight but it will be DELICIOUS.
I'm hoping that by eating properly like this, I'll start to have more energy. I went to bed at 8:20pm last night. So uncool. I didn't get anything done and I have a lot of work that I need to do. I haven't even been able to go through my friends list and read everyone's entries yet. I AM FAILURE, FORGIVE ME. ;.; At least I appear to be starting the day off really well though, right? XD I have a lot of energy, kind of unusual for me.
Oh man, so tired. ;_; So incredibly tired... I didn't go to bed until just after midnight last night, which gave me about 6 hours of sleep because I woke up just shortly after 6am before going back to bed again for about half an hour. The weekend was really productive at least, and that always makes me feel really good.
Friday, my bf and I met up after work for dinner at my favourite Japanese restaurant, Tokyo Kitchen. I actually got off work an hour early because I forgot to eat a lunch. XD;; So we had to wait around for 15 minutes before the restaurant actually opened. Then we started walking down Yonge St. I bought a couple of Magic cards on the way but I started feeling kind of light headed. I think I was getting dehydrated again. I've been completely fail at being careful about that kind of stuff. I don't drink nearly enough water. We were supposed to check out some art on display at a bar for 8 but I was kind of worn out so we just went home anyway. I think I ended up going to bed so early that day, at like 8:00pm. @_@
Then on Saturday, we checked out the Harry Potter Exhibition at the Science Center. *_* Oh man, it was so amazing!! I've wanted to go check it out for a while now, after seeing the trailers... The trailer and photos of the exhibit on the official web site made the Exhibition look really, really professional and awesome. I wasn't disappointed at all when we finally went through it. They have props from all the HP films, from clothes to items. IT WAS HARRY POTTER FANGIRL HEAVEN OMG. They even had life-size stand-ins for Buckbeak and the centaurs. *_* And a baby thestral, sooooo cute. X3
I wish they had something like this on display permanently. It was so awesome... and you could tell they did a shitton of business off of that alone. They had an entire HP store at the end of the Exhibition and I came away from it with an Exhibition booklet, some simple Hogwarts Houses paper bookmarks, some really fancy metal house bookmarks, some potions label fridge magnets... XD I really wanted to get these sexy as hell pens too but they were $30 each and I kinda forgot by the time we'd gone through the whole store. >_> I guess just as well, the hole in my pocket was pretty big after that. XDD;;
We also looked around the Science Center (Dan hadn't been there since he was 12, as with most people it seems), checked out the cute little planetarium show and then watched an Omnimax film about the Hubble telescope. We checked out a bit more of the center but I think by the time we'd watched the planetarium show, the Omnimax show, and the HP Exhibition, we were kinda worn out for the day. x_x
Then yesterday was a total write-off. XD Got to chat with tarahime again and I worked on a portfolio web site for a friend of mine. I actually played WoW for a bit too, considering I haven't actually played at all in about a week. :X Dan and I watched some horrible movies and I got caught up on One Piece, FMA and Naruto. I'm gonna have to write another entry about those, esp the FMA one since it's now completed its run. :D
The last few days, I've had the most frustrating time coming back home from work. I commute for about an hour and fifteen minutes on the way home; I take a 40 minute bus ride, a 12 minute subway ride and an optional 5 minute bus ride. The last bus (the 5 minute one) is the 103 and it's a bit infrequent as it only goes from the station every 15 minutes on the hour. It's optional because the walk home is about 12 minutes but it's really nice to have A/C when it feels like 40C outside. x_x
Anyway, for the last month or so, I've been arriving at the station at 5:57pm, give or take a couple minutes. I can usually catch the 6:00pm bus, no problem. However, the TTC rotates its drivers every 6 weeks or so (I think), and a new one just started recently. He always leaves at 5:59pm or 6:00pm on the dot and I always, ALWAYS get to the platform 10 seconds late. It's been like this for the last three days. T_T Yesterday, he saw me running and took off regardless of the fact that I was about 20 paces from the door... and today, he left early. >.< It's so frustrating!
To make matters worse, yesterday a girl walked by me after the bus left. She walked over to where the schedule was posted on the wall, right next to a huge NO SMOKING sign. She stood there for a bit, walked back over and sat down one seat over from me.... AND THEN PROCEEDED TO LIGHT UP A CIGARETTE. >.< Wha!? Another woman came over a moment later to sit between us and asked her, "You know they don't allow smoking in here, right?" The girl just said she didn't know. ¬_¬ She put it out at least.
Also, today, I had to listen to a girl sitting directly behind me, chewing her gum loudly. For half an hour. T_T Augh. I actually really love the TTC, especially now that there are more busses running, the routes run later and the employees are actually more cheerful. Most of the drivers I get on the 103 are just so pleasant and considerate, it's just the one who leaves early that grates on me. It's the customers! The inconsiderate people who don't know how to queue properly at the bus stop and leave their garbage on seats that make the trips irritating. ;_;
So all said and done, by the time I get home, I'm super cranky and stuff. I'm trying hard to write up some content for my Miroku shrine but it's not going well at all. I can't really form any sensible paragraphs and every sentence I write looks bad to me. At least I can still write down point form notes.
I totally have shrine fever, full out. XD When I'm done with my Miroku shrine and my Kikyou shrine, I actually have some crazy idea to make a Sango shrine and now a Kagura shrine, after finding my love for the characters again. @_@ That's two full shrines! And I still have all the other ones in my collective that need to be updated! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME.
...Maybe nothing? XDD Ahaha. Oh well, gotta stop wasting time! Back to it! *types furiously*
$9.99 USD does NOT equal $12.99 CND, thank you very much. It's great that even though the Canadian dollar has been about on par for the last year or so, that we STILL have to pay an extra $3 freaking dollars per volume. >_<
I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm changing my alias online to Adesia.
This is a really hard decision for me to make. I've been going by the alias of Tasuki online for 11+ years now and I worry that people are not going to get used to calling me by a different name. As much as I feel that I still have a lot in common with the character, I've grown tired of using an alias named after a character in Fushigi Yuugi. I want to be a little more original.
Over the last year, I've made many friends over World of Warcraft, who all have come to know me by my paladin's name, Adesia. It's an original name, not referenced from anything, and I feel as if it suits me better. I know many more people now who call me Adesia (or "Deez" for short) than I do who call me Tas or Tasuki.
I figure this is a good a time as any, now that I'm coming back into the shrining community and making new friends. Now that I'm back, a new name seems fairly appropriate. ;3
