I went bike riding with animeartistjo today after much nagging from my mom...and my thighs are KILLING me right now. There was a couple slopes on the bike trail that we took...and on the way back, I was heading up one of them so slowly, my walking speed was faster. I gave up and had to walk my bike up the slope in the end. *sobs* I can't believe I'm so out of shape! 

(Actually, I sorta can, but who sweats the small details? XDD)

*cough* Anyways. Yes. ROLLING AROUND IN PAIN. I needed to share. FEEL MY PAIN!

Read aggybird 's journal. And felt compelled to do this. Heh.

01. Anyone who looks at this entry has to post this meme and their current wallpaper at their livejournal.
02. Explain in five sentences why you're using that wallpaper!
03. Don't change your wallpaper before doing this! The point is to see what you had on!



Umm...it's my wallpaper because I like the picture? *laughs* I like the birds. So pretty! And I was getting tired of my boring black and green Billy Joel wallpaper. And with this sentence, it makes it five! 

So this morning, as I was riding on the bus to class, there was a SPIDER.

It was only one of those little small ones that you can squish with a thumb, but still. A spider. Which means a lot to me because, hello! Arachnophobe here! (And I'm not really sure if arachnophobe is actually a word or not because it keeps coming up underlined in red, but oh well!)

I was just staring into nothing the way you do when you have nothing better to do on public transportation. And then I spotted something moving. I focused, and it was a little tan spider that was wiggling its legs around the thin line of it's web. *shudders* It swung a little as the bus rumbled along. *goggled eyed*

I did the logical thing because I didn't want it on me, I gave it a big blow of air.

No more spider! 

Or so I thought.

I returned to staring into air and then I saw it. On the shirt of the guy sitting in front of me.

It was on the shoulder blade area and I gave it my whole attention. I mean, what if it disappeared into the seat?! Then it could travel. Toward me. (And this is my arachnophobia-paranoia speaking.)

Anyways, it wiggled its way up to the shoulder and then it disappeared again.

Okay. Maybe it started crawling down the front of the shirt, but I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt here. When nothing shows, I return to staring into nothing.

Until I see the small brown spot wiggling on the guy's hair right by his ear.

Cue the internal scream of horror.

I swallowed hard and pressed back into the back of my seat and eyed the spider with, what I'm sure was a crazed look in my eye. In all seriousness, I broke out into goosebumps.

After who knows how long (too long to me), the spider disappeared again. And I'm begging him internally to get off the bus and take the spider with him. Sad to say, it didn't happen, but what happened next was even worse.

The guy's hair was the bristle-y, course kind, and so there were some strands that stuck up near the top of his head.

That's where the spider made its grand reappearance.

I had the internal monologue of ohmygodohmygodohmygodOHMYFREAKINGGOD! going on by now and I watched as the little thing stayed at the top of the guy's head and did its wiggle dance every time the bus gave a particular jolt. And the guy started moving his head, looking at a map, looking out the window.

ohmygodohmygodohmygodOHMYFREAKINGGOD!

When my bus stop comes, I'm out the door like my pants were on fire. And I gave my head a vigorous shaking just in case a little spider decided to make its own appearance on my head.

*shudders* That was the most eewwww experience I've had in a while. Maybe since ever. I hope that I NEVER have to see that happen again. And this experience might have traumatized me of that particular bench on all the buses.

Just watched it with my dad...and it's HILARIOUS.

It makes fun of all the action movie cliches...and Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) was AWESOME. There was blood and gore and guns and knives and bombs and asskicking...all in a little countryside town in England called Sanford. (Or something like that)

AWESOME.

...is an anime that runs for thirteen episodes that are five minutes each. I watched it all in one setting.

The premise is that somehow, the government is set that chocolate is a banned item, and if you're caught with it in possession, you're sent to a "concentration camp". Of course, kids save the day.

XDD Hilarious! It's so implausible. I mean, can you imagine a life where there's no chocolate?! There would be chaos in a blink of an eye. >_< But the animation was clean and the kids were cute. *snickers* Meaning the main characters were two boys. Which could totally be slashed together. *cackles* Yeah, I have a one track mind.

I'm finally watching Supernatural, of course after reading several fanfictions on it. XDD Am totally addicted now. Unfortunately, I have a wild imagination.

I just went outside to put something in the car for mom. At night.

After watching several episodes of demons and wendigos, my heart started pounding. All the things that could be haunting the dark! >o<;;

It says it's in select theatres near you...but doesn't say which ones. Only two days. L on the big screen...with no stupid Raito. NOOOO! Why is the stupid news article so stingy on the details?! I totally want to go see it!! *cries tears of blood* L...

I ran to get the door at my grandma's so that my grandparents wouldn't have to hobble to it. Instead I slammed my left knee into a wall and nearly fell on my face.

Ouch.

My dad sighed and told me why I just had to get the bad parts of my mom...=_= I wonder the same thing.

Now I have a scary lump-bruise-thingy. Eeewww...XDD

It was KICK ASS AWESOME. The guys were ALL hot and *gasp* KISSING! Yes, on screen. And hugging. *sighs* I love how there's so much skinship between male friends in...most other continents except for the US. What's up with that?! If guys acted casually like that over here, cue the jokes on their sexuality. I totally wouldn't mind if that happened in front of me. Cue the fangirl squealing. I mean, hello! Eye candy! XDD

But yeah. Everybody should totally watch it. Hot guys. Good plot. Movie. No annoying female add-ons. *swoons*

Listening to Francesca Battistelli since I heard her on the radio when I woke up and found the voice to be rather pleasant. She's not too bad...though one part is that her voice is particularly manish-ish. Like a young boy's voice for some songs and for most parts. And I'm totally serious. But I like it, kinda sorta yeah. =_=;;


Below is the song I woke up to and thought it was a guy singing...though I did debate with myself about whether is was a guy or a girl. If you don't look at the album photo, you'd think a boy was singing! Try it.

Click. Super adorable dress up game that made me play until my eyes started to burn. =_=

Hooked up my tablet to my new laptop for the first time. I tried to draw with it, but every time I made a broad stroke with my pen, this symbol came up saying "drag me" or something, and didn't make my stroke. And then when it did pick up my stroke, it wouldn't be a smooth curve, it would be a strange diagonal that hooks into a curve at the last minute. SO FRUSTRATING!!

But then I'm kinda okay too because this Vista has this AWESOME function where I can drag out a slate type thing and write. It can read all languages that I want, but since I only know a few, I only had those as options. Did that make any sense? But look! I can write in my elementary level Japanese on my laptop now! XDD *is gleeful beyond measure*

And then after I write it on the slate thingy, it can insert it where type should go. Like so!

はじめまして.とりんです.じゅうはっさいです.San Jose Stateだいがくのがくせいです.いちねんせいです.どうぞうよろしく.

>_< It's all in hiragana, but we haven't learned katakana yet...and yes. SO COOL!!

I BBQed for my grandparents again this Sunday. It started raining just after I lit the...BBQ thing. And then it started pouring. And the patio started leaking. In the end, I had to protect the backribs with my arms. XDD Yay for BBQing outside in the rain at night~!

I had awesome hair today. I dunno why. But I have totally emo-ing bangs now, and when I drag them into my eyes, I look like emo person. I had really awesome hair today which is completely rare, though I never change my hair care routine (which is shampoo and conditioner and that's it). It was a smooth and silky and...*sighs* I wish I had more days like that. ;D

If I kinda freaked you out with my hair-love, sorry 'bout that.

Happier note (and less scary)-- I downloaded all of Coldplay's albums~! WoOt! 

Just watched it off the net on some random site that streams movies. Sobbed my bloody eyes raw. At multiple parts of the movie. ;_;

It wasn't so bad on the emotional scale, but Bud was so ignorant that I just wanted to reach into the computer screen to give him a good throttle or two. Molly, on the other hand, was a very cool character but she didn't have as big a part as I would have liked her to. Unfortunately, the movie didn't show which candidate that Bud eventually votes for after getting his act together, though if I think really hard about it, I'm actually not that curious to know. =_= The concept of the movie was pretty good, but the actual pulling off of it wasn't quite as good as I expected from the previews.

Loved the parts where they have the kids driving though. XDD I'm so jealous! They're able to drive better than I do! *laughs*

Found out that there's this writing contest type thing on Amazon here. XDD Sounds cool! Too bad none of my writes are long enough...If you win, you get published. o_O Awesome fun. >_<

Their service leaves a LOT to be desired.

I went over there with my dad to check out a potential new laptop (which I did end up buying). A guy came up to ask if we needed help. We asked a few questions to which we were given VERY vague answers too. Then the guy just stood there, leaning nonchalantly against the counter that held the laptops, staring into space while my dad and I contemplated.

After he FINALLY gets up and leaves us the hell alone as desired, I agonized over buying it again. We decided to buy.

However, all of a sudden, the guy is so busy he's never in one place in one time! I waved him down and he came over, asking "So have you guys decided yet?"

I responded, "Yes, we'd like to buy this one please." (though in not so many words) Before I even finished talking, he was gone.

Oookay~. I thought, you know, maybe he'd run off to pick one up from inventory.

Minutes passed.

And I saw him standing and talking with some other Fry's employees.

More minutes passed. No guy showing up with the desired product! 

FINALLY, the guy shows up again and ASKS THE SAME QUESTION. I give a twitchy smile (as I'm getting impatient and pissed off out of my mind) and give my same answer. And also ask him for a copy of the stats that they have listed of the laptop. He "okay"s and disappears.

When I looked up again, the paper with the stats that I'd asked for a copy of had disappeared as well. Oh no he didn't...

He did.

He came back with the laptop, and a copy of the stats. A LITERAL copy of what Fry's types up to put behind their product. Where they miss-spelled Intel. *drops dead* 

He asks for the usual crap, and then tells us (tries to tell us) to take the paper up to the counter and he'll meet us there with the laptop. Instead, it came out like this, "Yooiufbaskdljca."

"Um...what?"

"Yougwupcoiwnterailmeatuupter."

I leaned closer. "What was that?"

Repeats.

"Oh. Okay."

I did not know how I understood that mumble-jumble, but somehow I managed to. Hurray me! 

Paying was a cinch, but once again, I'm convinced that Fry's has the worst service ever. I still don't understand how they have so many customers...=_=

On a happier note, I saw ebook readers in Fry's! XDD So awesome and pretty and SONY and cool and OMGIWANT! It was small and sleek and fit into my hand. *squees in complete glee* So PRETTYFUL! 

It was $300. *cries* I hope the price goes down...I REALLY want one...*drools*

Read an article in the newspaper today. A 12 year old passed the stock broker exam that has 250 questions and took 6 hours. At 10 years old, the kid started studying from one of those ridiculously thick study guides from the library. He passed the test on the first try. He needed a 70 to pass, he got an 88. HOMFG!

I read that article and felt very stupid. o_O

I just sliced myself twice with a knife that I just sharpened when I was cutting the bitter melon for my mom. Man, I'm a dweeb. Now both fingers, on different hands, sting like a b****.

Snagged it as I was cruising through journals. This one was from rykaine .

I'm actually kinda disappointed with what I got. I REALLY wanted to be a ghost...*pouts*

I was listening to the car radio when it started playing Little Drummer Boy. And while I was listening to the lyrics, something struck me. The song has definite slash possibilities.

Say "yea" for yes, and "nay" for no. XDD
