I’ve got a bunch of things to do right now so please excuse me if I don’t have a huge update for you guys. I need to read for Political Science & I also need to write a review on the essays I read. I also added a new feature to the site. It’ll probably be updated quite often. I can think of a lot of things to put up. In addition, a new layout is a must. I’m definitely going to skin the site. I was thinking of adding two new skins, one featuring a leaf in a pond (more guy friendly/neutral) & a layout featuring Josh Hartnett, again. Or maybe one featuring Natalie Portman? I don’t know, you guys tell me.

Last night, I made sushi for Alex Vo, Bryan, Kim, Pearl, & Vy. Everyone made their own sushi besides Alex. It’s too bad Alex Nguyen couldn’t come over. I had a lot of tuna & salmon left over so I chopped it all up & mixed it with my special sauce along with avocado & cucumbers. Seriously delicious & better than the sushi restaurants I go to that make me pay $10 for a dollop of spicy tuna on a chip. I think one day, I will add the recipe of it on the site. Later this week, after Thursday, when all of my tests are over, I will add the recipe for making sushi.

Last night I made this icon. I was just experimenting with this technique that seems to be popular. I wouldn’t say I mastered it or anything but I will definitely try to improve on it. I’ll make it a tutorial or something. I also had a midterm for Calculus that I totally bombed..again. Math is officially not my thing. I should’ve studied more but our Professor gave us this guideline of what we should study & the problems he gave us on the midterm were ten times harder & not at all what we expected. TRICKY!! I fell asleep in all of my classes yesterday. I didn’t get enough sleep. I returned my laptop that I got from Radioshack today. I saw the cutie again…but like I told Bonnie, it’s such a turn-off when a guy who is in a relationship hits on other girls. I also bought a Pink Dell XPS 1530 laptop today. It was really expensive. It might take a while to ship to me because they have to build it since I customized it. I’m excited for it! I’ll be able to take notes in class & play crazy games on it as well. Thank goodness Bobby gave me a coupon for it! 15% off! YEAYUH! Dell lets you choose to plant a tree to support reforestation so of course I picked it. GO GREEN! I had the guts to actually do something crazy today. I feel so BA right now.

This is addressed to my stalker(s): You know who are you. You read practically every one of my posts & then run off to my cbox & don’t display your name but take the time to write some sort of rude comment. If you hate me so much, why the hell do you keep tabs on my life? You think I’m some kind of stupid or something. You waited 5 minutes to post another entry in my cbox renaming yourself to “Secret Admirer”. I’m not stupid, I can check your IP address. Hell, I’ll post up your specific information right now. Just click here. You think I don’t know? It’s my website. How immature is it to leave people rude anonymous comments? How old are you, 12? Grow the hell up. If you have a problem with me, say it to my face, don’t try to act all tough behind your keyboard. This is not the first time you’ve done it but it will be your last. I banned you from posting in my cbox. Stop reading my blogs if you think I’m so damn spoiled. Do you honestly think I get everything I ask for? I’m not a multi-millionaire who has money to waste. I don’t wipe my butt with $20 bills. My dad doesn’t give me unlimited amounts of money so stop wasting your time & mine. You think I want to sit here doing nothing? You think I want to depend on my parents for money? You’re a such a dolt, you think I enjoy wasting my parents’ money? My parents forbid me to get a job. They want me to focus in school because they care about my future. I’m sorry you were never hugged as a child. I bet you’ve never donated money to a much needed cause before. Church doesn’t count. Shove that up your ass & shut the hell up. You have no idea what you’re talking about. BTFD.

[Mood:] Really Tired

[Novel:] Masquerade by Melissa De La Cruz

Yesterday was officially my first day of college. I can’t believe summer is over but then again, I only have 2 days of school. I guess I should revise my schedule. I decided to take Psychology A100 online which freed up Monday & Wednesday. I have the longest break between my classes so it’s really chill. I have about a 2 hour & 10 minute break between my Political Science class & Math 180. The campus food is pretty good too! There are so many gorgeous people but sadly, none are in my classes. Who knows, maybe English will unload the mother load..? Here’s some advice: If you want to meet some gorgeous men, take brain-dead classes. WHY DOES THE WORLD WORK THIS WAY? BEAUTY + BRAINS = NOT POSSIBLE?!?! Well then again, there are exceptions. Joey Cheek (click his name for a picture) is gorgeous, an Olympic speed skater, activist, & attends Princeton. I’ve been looking in all the wrong places.

My schedule:

Tuesday: Political Science A185
                  Math 180
Thursday: Political Science A185
                   Math 180
                   English 101

Math 180 ended at 4:50 PM which was early so to pass the time before I met up with Pearl to go to Full Moon, I spotted some Class of ‘08 kids & chatted with them. Met up with Pearl & went to Full Moon. After our delicious meal at Full Moon, we went to watch “The House Bunny” which wasn’t so bad. It looked really stupid when I saw the previews but I actually liked the movie. It was decent probably because Adam Sandler produced it. He’s like King Midas; everything he touches turns to gold.

I have updates! New Twilight icons found here (they’re just quotes), Stock Images, 10 Icon textures, 1 Brush Set, & 2 tutorials.

Technically 3 days ago, I bought 6 books from Amazon.com & it was only about $40ish. I can’t recall the exact amount because it’s 3:56AM. I’m really excited to read them when they get here but I can’t read them until I’ve finished Dracula! I ordered The A-List Collection (Books #5-8 since I already read #1-4), Marked, Twilight, & Angels & Demons.

Today was Robert’s 18th birthday bonfire! Well technically, yesterday was but the point is: it was really fun. Pictures are up in the gallery! Click here to view them! I BBQed the pork & corn that Robert provided. He was such a good host! It’s too bad that it was super cloudy today. So typical Huntington Beach . Pictures from Alessa are up too, click here.

Okay let’s get to the point since I’m about to fall asleep. I added 18 new textures & 46 icon textures. Icon textures?! Yeah, I just added that feature today. Go to the Resources page to see all of them. Goodnight, I’m about to pass out.

[EDIT:] One of my biggest pet peeves is when people have terrible grammar & those who can’t spell the easiest words.

INCORRECT: Sally & Jenna is going to the market.
CORRECT: Sally & Jenna are going to the market.

INCORRECT: Jessica & Jennifer was trying to get me to go the party.
CORRECT: Jessica & Jennifer were trying to get me to go the party.

INCORRECT: Dude, your stupid.
CORRECT: Dude, you’re stupid.

YOUR PARENTS PAY TAXES FOR A REASON, SO YOU CAN GO TO SCHOOL & LEARN!

You guys need to start investing in something called spell check. Firefox has SPELL CHECK BUILT INTO IT. I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU STILL MISSPELL THINGS!!

The biggest turn off in the world is when someone is hitting on you online & they say, “Hey your cute, hollah!” Read an EFFIN’ BOOK.

SIDE NOTE: FIJI Water happens to be one of my favorite water bottle companies, not because the bottle is pretty but because it tastes delicious. I prefer it over Aquafina but my favorite has to be Dasani! Anyway, a lot of people say that FIJI water pollutes a whole lot because they have to export their product all over the world which is true but they’re improving! Recently they’ve become quite the frontier on reducing their carbon footprint; by 25% to be exact. Click here to see for yourself! It’s pretty neat. RECYLE!!!!!!!!!

[Novel:] Dracula by Bram Stoker

This isn’t much of an update or anything but I have got news for you: textures & new icons! I used a tutorial on how to create a wood like texture. Click here! It’s pretty neat. I used it for the textures. I also made an icon using the texture I created. I’ve just finished Season 2 of the series on ShowTime called The Tudors. It’s pretty accurate to the actual happenings between Henry VIII & his wives. Of course there are embellishments such as the fact that everyone is much younger than they should be & much much better looking than they should be, besides the women. They’re supposed to be gorgeous, how else might have they attracted the unfaithful King of England? My brother asked me, “Who cares about history!?” but I do! It holds importance!

The importance of King Henry VIII’s rule is that he brought about tyranny amongst his people yet the people still loved him. He also created a new Church in which he made himself the Head of it. He also got rid of papal rule in England. Of course Queen Mary, his daughter, tried to reinstate Catholicism but Queen Elizabeth I brought the country back to being Protestant. It’s a great series & you should definitely watch it. There happens to be a lot of nudity in it but that’s Showtime for you!

Anyway check the Resources area to find the new textures! Here are some new icons I created. For the James & Adam icon, I used a texture from Sweet Crush. The Josh icon may look similar but I actually used my own brushes to create the glowing effect. I used two pictures I took at Duc’s house for the texture. I don’t think you can identify them but one was a sunflower & the other was a picture of bamboo.

I think I’m going to study with Alex Nguyen tomorrow, gotta get my work done!
