5:46pm: Ah, Nigeria, you retards....
I felt so awesome last night for catching that scam.
We've found a bunch more ads that they've put out, too.
The interwebs says that we need to print everything we have on them out and take it to the local police to report a fraud.
We're gonna do it. XD;;
I'm also planning on getting more on them by using one of my email addresses to email them at one of their other emails for a different ad and see if they give the same story. XD;;
Most people would expect me to be devastated... But I'm just proud of myself for being smarter than a niggerian con artist. ^_^
Gunter Gunter Gunter.... XD

Back to the classifieds, I guess. x_x;;
There's quite a few houses down here in the $795 range, but.... None of us really wants to be stuck here forever.
Matt made a good point: Everyone here is an asshole, unless you're in the "in-crowd".
So far, we're looking everywhere North, South, and West.... I just don't wanna go eastern, because... Things are pretty expensive over there, and the weather's so... Desert and snow. x_x;;

If anoyone gets on the internet and finds themself bored, with nothing to do... You could always find random rental sites and help us look. ^__^;;;;
( Rental Criteria )

At this point, I don't care if it's pretty, so long as it's not falling apart. No duplexes, triplexes, condos, townhouses, or apartments if at all possible. I'm sick of strangers being on the other side of my walls.
It can be 1 story, 2 story, underground, I don't care. Lease to own is always an awesome option.
I want somewhere to live that we can stay at for awhile and get comfortable.
I want a home.

--- --- ---

And now, I'm gonna try and get some shite done for RB.
Hopefully Kira's first day at work went well.
Hopefully we can hang out and game or watch anime tonight.
Tomorrow Michi starts her new second job, so I hope that goes well, too.
If there's time, I may also play Audition, but who knows.
Oh yes, and the bathroom needs cleaning. And our room. x_X;;

4:43am: Aw, fuck it....
It's totally a scam.

FUCKING AFRICAN FUCKERS.

Lets go punch koalas in the stomach.

T_T


THANK YOU, INTERNETS.

4:22am: OMG OMG OMG OMG
Forgive me for being stupid and naive and presumptuous, but....
I'm going to get retardedly excited about something for no reason at all, except for the fact that I'm me.

I have a small mystery to propose to you, and I want to see how you decipher it....

If you didn't check that link I posted earlier, you probably won't get to see it.
I went to check it earlier, and it says :

This posting has been flagged for removal

(The title on the listings page will be removed in just a few minutes.)

Now, onto the story...

Yesterday, before she went to work, at about 7:30pm, Michi was on Craig's List looking at houses.
One of the only ads that came up in our price range was the one I posted the link to earlier.
Right before running out the door, Michi sent the person who posted the ad an email.
A few hours later, she called me from her work.
Someone at her work had a laptop, and she was using it to check her email and MySpace.
There was a reply from the ad poster.
She responded.
This morning, we got the rental application to fill out, and we did, and it got sent off before she went to work.
A little while ago, I clicked the link in my journal and got that message.
The page was open in another window, so everything was still visible. I saved it to my desktop for reference.
Seeing the "flag" message, I sent Michi a txt message and told her about it.
Free ads run on Craig's List for one full week before being removed.
On the page I have saved, I checked the date: 2008-07-05, 6:58PM PDT
The ad was posted 30 minutes before Michi saw it and mailed them.
What do you think?

To me, this means that there could be a few reasons:
1] They somehow set the ad to only run for 1 day.
2] They found someone to rent the house.
3] THEY PICKED US.

I'm vibrating in my chair rightnow, and not in any porn way. I want to run downstairs and wake up Matt and Kira and see what they think.
I know it does me no good to get excited about things that there's no sure thing of, but....
GOD, I WANT A HOME.
GOD, THIS WOULD BE SO GOOD.
I can't help being excited!

And now, I will post what I can for you all to look at...

( The Ad, and Emails... )

What do you think? Is it a scam? Am I getting my hopes up? Or is there a chance?

3:35am: AHAHAHAHAHAHA I'm such a faggot....
So I gave up on the icon thing. I've found a solution though, so I hope people will enjoy my quirky solution -- even if I'm not so sure of it myself.
Of course, it's cheap, yet amusing.
But it works.... I guess.... XD;;
God Dammit OCD.
It's so hard trying to place everyone in a general archetype and find something to fit everyone.
Stupid mind-loafers.... Being so difficult. 7_7;;
Don't tease me. ;_;

--- --- ---

So I looked up "Rainbow Bridge".... And I wonder if Aiji meant it as a sick joke, or what. XD;;;
I'd really never heard of it before. x_x;;
Wiki gives it a nice sentiment, though.
I almost feel blasphemus.
So much blasphemy these days.
Yay blasphemy! :D

11:09pm: HALP
anomie made for rainbowbrigde
Currently freaking myself out over the fact that I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm gonna do about icons and shit.
Aiji said just to pick ones for general character archetypes... But I have so few icons of my own, and I don't just wanna get random ones...
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. x__X
....somebody help me.... ;__;
Ah, OCD, you son of a bitch, quit giving me problems.

--- --- ---

Letter got read. Yesterday was big talking day. Things got worked out, maybe even made better. There's some relief.
Looking at where were going next, and This is a good option so far.
The only major LOL is... The people we'd be renting from would be Missionaries who are currently in Africa. XD
No pet limit or deposit, something we could afford with or without Matt and Kirarin.
Of course, we're not telling them we're not "god-fearing" individuals....

5:31pm: oranges
Terrified. Terrified. Terrified. Terrified.

The note is still where it was. That either means Matt hasn't ben up yet, or it's been ignored. I have no idea if Kira's read it, either.
I'm too scared to go downstairs at all. I'll probably be up here hiding all night.
Is anyone gonna be online? ^_^;;;

Panic attack. Panic attack. Doom. Panic attack.
Gonna go take a shower.

7:29am: Our name is Chuck

Printed it, put it on the TV... We'll see what happens.

11:04pm: Happy F@c|<;ng 4th of July !!!
Didn't do anything today but get upset, and bowl with Michi before work. All those of you who would say "I told you so", now is your time to shine. It looks like Kira and Matt are going to skip out on us after the lease is up, and they've basically been getting a free ride. Never fails. They move in so things will be "easier" and so they can "help pay"..... But then they don't get jobs, everything is more stressful.... And then when it looks like they WILL have jobs.... Then they're moving out. Michi's gonna have to withdraw from college, and we'll be stuck looking for a new place to live that allows pets and that we can afford on our own. Again. So! ......Is there a club or something?

On a side note... What is the difference between muffins and cupcakes? Aren't they almost the same?

Almost got the TV today.... Was playing FF12.... Figured I could win with boring.... No.... But at least I got to play.

Have to talk to Kira at some point. Good luck, huh?

Hey kids? If you're gonna fuck me, at least make it feel good.

5:02pm: Doo be doo be doo....
Hopefully will be RPing with people again. This is good times.

I may be getting paid by the state for being OCD, SAD, and Depressed... o_O;;;

Been playing Audition. I'm Xero-tan on there. Look for a room called "Bust-A-Move? <3" on weekend nights.

Meow meow meow.

ZOOM

3:21am: SPIDER HUMP.... ATTACK!!
Been playing too much Audition.... I'm getting decent, but the LRLR type things mess me up... x_X;;
The thing that kinda bothers me is.... How many ofthese people I'm playing with are around my age... and how many of them are like.... 12? X_X;;
Makes me feel like a pedo, because two of the most courteous guys I've met on there.... Both have gotten yelled at by there moms for being on there so late... Which means..... there's a good chance they're kids..... Or at least.... Living with mom and sharing a pc.... O_O;;;

PEOPLE I ACTUALLY KNOW NEED TO PLAY WITH ME SO I DON'T FEEL LIKE I'M GONNA GET ARRESTED!!! ;__;

Then again.... It's not like they know how old I am, either.... OH MY GOD, IS THAT THE INNER PEDO TALKING?? X__X

Either way, it's not like I want to know or admit if kids 10 years younger than me rock harder at a game than I do....

Ah man.... At least, since I've made quite a few guy friends..... I know my attitude is cute! ^_^
Cute to TWELVE YEAR OLDS..... *cough* ........Ignoring that part.

Ah, internets.... Where personality and taste in avatars decides your popularity and hotness...
Amazing.... Can I live in the internet?

3:01pm: Can't see, too lazy to put on glasses.... o_x
STILL TOO HOT HERE. Why do we need the sun? ;__;

Is anyone out there playing Audition, DOMO, or Mabinogi?
What about Triple Triad? 7.7;;

Audition: A music and dancing game. Kinda like Bust-A-Move/Groove, if you've ever played it. Really fun, and has ability for some awesome customization.
Mabinogi: A "Life" MMO. You can age, you can play music, you can battle, you can farm, you can make items.... Lots of things to do, no real limits.
DOMO: MMORPG. Cute characters, you have "astral lines" connecting you to other players that tell you if you're soul mates or not.
Triple Triad: You remember that card game from Final Fantasy VIII? XD

FOR REALS, PLAY WITH ME!! ;__;

Audition is so fun.... o.o

9:57pm: dying.............
IT IS SO FUCKING HOT HERE NOW.

Sitting in my room, all lightls off, window open, wearing a sheet wrapped around me because clothes are too warm.

I wanna go spray myself with a hose.

6:36pm: Things, and THINGS.
I don't know where you get off saying that I waste your time.... All we do together is sleep and shower.... HOW IS THAT TAKING UP TOO MUCH OF YOUR TIME?
Are you saying it counts for you as "spending time" when you're sitting on MySpace and MSN News, with me sitting in the background? Just because I made you a cup of tea and drank part of it?
Bowling doesn't count either, hun, because everyone else is there.... And at least Matt and Kirarin cuddle and shit... You always sit away from me!
I fucking hate you sometimes... I wish I was like you and I could throw things and punch walls.
You're such a fucking tease. Promising or suggesting one thing, doing another, and then getting mad at me for ------

3:56am: I wish I was hot enough for sex....
God, I wish I had something to do.... I'm so awake right now, but everyone's asleep... If I were smart, I'd try to sneak downstairs so I could finally play a videogame for the first time in two months... But Matt's probably down there on the couch.... Or they're doing it, or something.... Either way, no going.... And it's not worth it to get completely dressed just go go down and see...

I wanna write stuff or draw stuff or make stuff or SOMETHING...... So boring..... And I can't play any games on the computer, really, because Michi's in here sleeping, and I always feel like a dork for playing VtM:B or the Sims, and she'd kill me if I booted up an MMO.... x_x;;;

I may just watch more Neuro or Night Wizard, or, for the love of god, RANMA. Then I wouldn't have to read, at least.... Or, if I WANTED to read, I guess I could read a WoD book, or read the Ranma manga, because I haven't read past vol8 or something like that..... x_x;;;;

........This is how my life goes.... I have time, but what I want to do, I can't do, and what I can do, I can't decide on.... Hell, I may just go back to bed.... My tummy feels like burning, anyway.... WHERE ARE MY TUMS? X_X

God, I feeel so damned old..... x_x;;;

GIVE ME SOMETHING TO DO!!!!!!!

.....Maybe I could do what I always do, and waste space on my HD by DLing stuff? I mean, there are alot of anime and game OSTs I want... But....

God, all I really want is water, death, and tums.... x_x;;;;

The ball on my lip ring keeps popping out, and I'm scared I'll accidentally swallow it.... We'll need to go to TC's and buy a new one soon, since I'm still wearing the one I got pierced with.... What kind should I get? I mean, I feel like a copycat for saying I want one of the twisty ones, but really, it's because I want one that screws on, because I can never get the ball back in on the one I have now on my own...... And it seems like it'd be fun to play with.... And.... No studs... x_x;;;

MUST. FIND. TUMS. @_@

7:43pm: Money, Money, Money, is All You Need!

TBHD isn't full yet, but it will be soon if I don't knock it off.
Have a pseudo-updated list for you all....
It's not including the stuff that's "In-Progress", the hentai, or the random stand-alone movies and things.... Just full series and OVAs....
But it should be enough for you to look over.

( The List of Full Series )

7:13pm: Do it all night....
I want a new layout. I have no idea what of, though.... I dunno if I want it to be cute/happy/perky, or dark/creepy/depressing.... The latter is easier for me, but I need more of the former because... Face it, I lack positive shit in my icons and layouts like woah.

If anyone has any suggestions, ideas, or would like to make me one, comment!

4:00pm: Quite possibly the coolest thing to come out of mainstream media I've seen lately.

I must find that remix....

4:34am: It's destiny....
Started watching Ranma again. I feel so nostalgic. I can't help myself from watching the dub, even though it goes against my current preferences. I told myself Iwas gonna watch it subbed, because sub is always better, and the cast and acting is great.... But.... Way back in the day, when I was a total fangirl, and watchng it dub only because that was all you could find.... I totally fell in love with Sarah Strange's portrayal of Male Ranma. For the later seasons, 4-7, I'll be watching it subbed, because Richard Cox took over the role -- But for some reason I just can't bring myself to ignore the dub with Sarah in it. To be honest, her voice is synonymous with Ranma to me. I have a huge respect for her, doing so well as a male. I try, but I doubt I'd do very well acting as a boy. She was the first VA that I ever knew who could do it, and so even though I hold high regard for all those other "chick playing a young male" actresses, she'll always be the best. Her Ranma was my first real imaginary boyfriend, and that "fangirl crush" lasted for at least three years. I don't exactly know why she stopped doing it, whether it was because she wanted to further her live acting career or because they just fired her, but I miss her as Ranma. Cox isn't a bad VA either, but I still haven't grown out of the fact that when he took over Ranma, I swore off the dub entirely. Until I saw him in Zoids and InuYasha, I hated him for years without ever even hearing his voice. To my young mind, Ranma was dead and replaced with some creepy doppelganger, and it was somehow his fault. I even went to the trouble of writing an angry letter to Viz/Ocean Studios about it, demanding either to have Sarah back or at least a valid explanation for her leaving. I never sent it, of course.

How funny it is to look at things in retrospect.... When I was younger, I had a crush on two boys with freckels, and the voice of a woman named Sarah. And somehow, I ended up with a pseudo-tomboyish person named Sarah, who has freckles. Strange? Yes. Fitting? I think so. The fact that I even classify it as being "Strange", when that's the first Sarah's last name.... It makes me wonder if maybe things realy do just fall into place in life. There's so many times when I look back at things and think "Wow. All the signs were there, I should have known." I didn't notice it then, of course, but good lord.... Looking back, it seems like it was so obvious that I'd turn out this way, where I am now. I can only wonder how it'll be in the future, looking back on things and understanding more about what's going on and where it will take me from here.

Ah, I'm getting philisophical. Nothing like early 90s anime nostalgia to do that to you, eh?

Tonight, I did a photoshoot with Kirarin. She got all dressed up in mock-jrock style and we pranced around outside taking pictures. It was fun. I think they'll turn out pretty good if the lighting plays nice. It's fun playing photographer and giving design tips. Dunno if I could do it for a job, though. And dude, you really do find yourself giving artistic directions akin to "Make love to the camera". XD;;;

Also, filling up the HD quickly. I knew 1TB would be no match for the internets. Yar-har-har and yo-ho-ho....
Hopefully I can update my lists soon, if there's even still moochers out there who want to see it....

2:49pm: Music to listen to....
Emilie Simon

It's on my Winamp Remote account. It's free, so sign up if it tells you to and listen. Let me know if you want an actual upload of any of it so you can DL it.

From Wiki: Émilie Simon, born in Montpellier in 1978, is a French singer and composer of electronic music.

It's actually really good. I found her from an AMV I DLed of Perfect Blue and Pale Coccoon, L histoire...Alicia, and loved the song so much that I decided to listen to her other stuff, too. So far, I'm digging it.

In other news, going camping today through sunday. Been sick all morning. I have pics, it did happen. >>;;
Yes, I'm so used to people telling me I'm fakinf sick that I'm now taking pictures to show the nay-sayers....

The main reason I have the interwebs back is for torrents. Getting some new stuff, been watching some stuff, will update when I get back on what all.

To those of you who recomended Higurashi no Naku Koro ni to me: OMFG. 'Tis grand. I'm only part way through the first series, but I lubs it. The first arc gave me chills, like a good asian horror flick. THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME ABOUT IT! ^_^

Also gave up and joined the scene kids.... started watching Death Note.... And I love it. x_x;;; Any more horror/psychological thriller/supernatural mystery type shows out there? I'm looking into one called Mnemosyne that looks pretty good....

LOL, okay, now I'm going to shut up and finish my mint tea. x_x;;;

Friday the 13th, and I make my grand re-entrance to an empty room....

I've noticed we're all growing up. Not so much time for the things we used to do. Money means more than things we want, it's now wasted with things we need.

We're going camping tomorrow, over the weekend, with Michi's family.

There's been so many time I've wanted to write so many things, and yet if I had, there'd be a 20 page ramble under a cut tag talking about nothing and everything.
I don't even remember when I left off, or if it even matters.

I don' want to just quit writing, though.

10:29pm: A note for Pengu to deliver...
私の心は痛みます。

私の身体は痛みます。

私はあなたが恋しいです。

私はあきらめます。

隠れるのを止めてください、そして、ただ話してください。

お願いします。

私は、私にとって、何が重要であるかを知っています。

あなたにとって、私はかつて、重要でしたか?

デーウ、私はあなたがこれを見るのを知っています。

私は、あなたがそこにいるのを知っています。

私は愚かではありません。

私に連絡してください。

Still really sick.
Selling anniversary tickets to Aiji.
Started moving today.

[EDIT: Michi always bitches that no one ever comments on her entries, but she only has two friends on here, and one of them's me. x_X;; For the love of god, if you know her, add her. It's not like she posts more than once every few months anyway. 9_9;; Link to her latest entry, about the accident.]

7:30pm: Best. Luck. Evar.
Aiji, if you still want to go to the concert, you might be able to buy our tickets from us. Michi got into a car accident today on her way home with Matt and Kira, so now we have no way to get up there. Anniversary is looking pretty ruined, and now Michi has no way to get to and from work. I was home with ybab, so we're okay, but Michi's got burns on her arms from the airbags, and Kira may have whiplash and a slight concussion. No idea if Matt's hurt at all, he hasn't said anything.

Lighter news is the fact that we got the keys to the 3-bedroom and will be able to move everything over within the next week or so.

Still sick as all hell. Even more upset than I was previously.

I tried calling grama to get ahold of mom to let her know what happened to everyone, and when grama found out, all she did was laugh and say, "Well, she's up shit creek." No concern whatsoever if anyone had been hurt or killed, she didn't even ask. All she wanted to know was if ybab and I had been there. Michi, Kira, and Matt didn't matter at all. SO PISSED AT HER. I hung up on her ass. T_T

Keep wanting to call Aiji, but our house phone isn't free for her cell, and I never know when she's home.

All in all, I'm somewhere between being strangely okay and really upset at everything.

God, I hate assholes.
That is all.
