sickness leads to...more bleach reruns

I have to go to work at 3 and it is 2:59 right now... I know I should be a responsible adult but I DONT WANNA GO!! but I will anyway. Just wanted to update my blog since I have not been on too much lately. My sister came up from out of state for six days and we had a family gathering to attend. It has been an emotionally taxing week and I am still reeling from it. I always get this way when I see relatives...or ex-boyfriends. I am glad the event came and went...but Ive got plenty of re-living to do.Just as a random note, why is it that everytime (so far) that i get sick Bleach starts over on weeknights? I dont know, it is just weird. It is the second time it has happened to me. I know it is just coincidence but still, it is always episode one. ok, I feel like my intelligence is disappearing, but I dont have time to think, I must haul ass to work.Bye

Gin Halloween -If you don't see how that rhymes than you're just as dumb as I am

Let me explain. I was going to say this about 2 weeks ago after I watched Bleach episode 47 (or 48 i can't remember honestly). Ahem, and I quote " OMG, you pronounce his name "Geen"?! WTF (heh heh shorthand)" end quote.
It frustrates me to no end that I can't even pronounce a three-letter name. Maybe I don't pay enough attention or maybe I'm just stubborn. G-I-N is gin, like the drink. I guess it makes sense, if "Jin" (from samurai champloo) is pronounced jean, then following that logic, Gin is geen. It's still stupid and i'm only saying that because I'm wrong. As least I got used to pronouncing Kon as cone. I wonder if anyone else has this problem?

It's September, I have to start compiling pieces for my Halloween costume. Everyone knows (meaning just my boyfriend) that you should start planning a costume in August, but I procrastinate. I'm still not sure what I'm going to be but I've narrowed it down to 3 things: a cat (Yoruchi-like) a pirate or Justin Timberlake.
I'm super pale so I'll have to get a spray tan or something to pull off the Yoruchi look. lol but I'll get cat ears and see if anyone gets the reference. I would be surprised.The pirate is the most realistic, but pretty cliche...which doesn't make it bad just overdone. And yes, I would have black teeth.If I'm JT I'll have to get my sexy on lol. I don't know why I like Justin Timberlake so much - I don't actually find him attractive, I just like his attitude i guess.

me + ichigo = MASSIVE SWEARING WAR!!!!

I am re-reading Bleach vol. 7,8 and 9 and I remembered how much I like Ichigo. I'm in a really good/hyper mood. "Good mood" meaning I freely use expletives to express happiness. It's funny, everyone at work comments that they never hear me swear, obvious they are oblivious to the words that spew from my face and bleed from my eyes. I was dropping the f-bomb left and right and no one seemed to notice. So, it's like every swear is the first...aww. I remember about 2 months ago I shut myself in the freezer and screamed an obscenity at the top of my lungs thinking that no one could hear me. Uh, I was pretty wrong, my co-worker was just in awe that I could scream so loud. I'm pretty soft-spoken unless I'm having a bad day or a really good cup of coffee (with a shot of espresso and a couple of sugars). I know a lot of people are turned off by swearing; if you say too many obscenities in a sentence or as an adjective it can make you appear unintelligent. I agree, there are so many other words to accurately express what you're saying but still I ****ing love swearing.
I really hate dress shopping, I went to a department store and couldn't find anything...ah, I was just frustrated, I really don't want to explain it. I hate the retro trend in EVERYTHING! I don't want to dress like I'm in the 70's, I want a simple dress that is one solid color and doesn't look like a maternity dress!!! Well anyway, I was just thinking about how much I would really love to just hold the sword of Artemis in my hands (God of War reference) and just slash through all the clothing racks because my hatred was beginning to consume my soul. Well that led me to drawing, unfortunately I couldn't remember exactly what the sword looked like so I drew Zangetsu instead. I imagine that it would be taller than I am.
zangetsu
There really is no point to this blog, I apologize for wasting time.

School day number one

Ah, it's the first day back to school. I got to school around 7:40, hung out in the cafe until 9:40, went to work until 11, hit math class, hung out for lunch, went back to work, dropped math class, replaced it with philosophy, and will be going to my second job at 4 o'clock until 8. For doing nothing all day, I'm pretty tired.

I HATE MICROSOFT (i hate caps too)

It takes me roughly 15 minutes to open Microsoft Word on this Mac computer (at work). This isn't always the case but lately a pop-up message comes up saying that a font is corrupt and needs to be removed. I have at least 655 different typefaces on my computer and apparently Microsoft word thinks they are all corrupt. It's really frustrating, especially since I can't close the program until you click okay or press return 655 times (apparently), such as Microsoft Excel. It was a blast trying to get through both programs with the same message. I've already had the programs reinstalled and out of the four of us in the office, it only seems to happen to my computer. Maybe my font really is corrupt but it works on all the other non-microsoft programs I have. Well, I don't know but I finally opened the program and all my fonts are there. So...that's my rant. I heart Mac computers, the only downside I see is that they don't have there own typing program except for "TextEdit" which just isn't worth using.
There, happy rant.

FINALLY I went swimming! Now the summer can begin

...oh no, nevermind :P I haven't submerged myself in a large body of water (bathtubs excluded) in over 2 years, so it was nice to do it. I went swimming with my boyfriend and his 15 year old cousin, it was fun, genearlly unexpected but fun. We played frisbee (sp?) and somehow I got hit in the face with an underinflated dirty ball, it hurt lol. Nothing makes me happier than acting like a little kid. I'm not an athletic type but I enjoy running around, being overly competive and tackling people. It's a trait in my family, my brother is the same way except I'm smaller so when I lunge for someone it doesn't really hurt them.

from manga to fanfiction | where did i go wrong?!

I have the best job ever. I feel really accomplished and pretty proud of myself for actually reverting back to hand drawn images, of course I used photoshop to put the pictures together into a nice poster, but regardless the effort is there. I had a surprisingly good day at work, I drew, which is rare since I'm a slave to the computer. While I was waiting for the scanner or the printer I read RenjixMomo and OrihimexRenji fanfiction, that was a first for me. Normally I only like the original story...or whatever story I have floating around in my head, but I must say I was pleasantly surprised. i never considered a RenjixMomo romance, I'm not sure if I would. Strangely enough the OrihimexRenji pairing works for me, even though I haven't found a readable story yet, I like the one in my head better. I highly doubt I'll ever write it...drawing it is a possibility. I attempted to draw Rukia today and my boyfriend thought it was Starfire from Teen Titans. I guess that means I suck. :( but in my defense I was using a pen!

I read Bleach vol. 20... Oh my (expletive) God! I was shocked and excited when things finally made sense. This goes without saying but I LOVE RENJI! heheh. I'll be scanning the hell out of this one. Unfortuantely the next volume won't be out until October...uh September hasn't even started yet. I find it difficult to wait even a day after reading a volume, but I'll try to stay away from the online volumes. You can't read just one.
