Oh man, I haven't posted in here for well ages. I HAVE been around though, just only in my icon community (fragileicons). I haven't had much to say here since I have a personal domain now, but my life? Well it's going good now, still upset at certain things. Like the fact my dad doesn't really care, but then again I'm soon to be 19 and as my aunt says, I will remember these things when I'm living out on my own. How he forgets about my birthday or Christmas, that he probably won't even get a card. Which is true. I would love even just a call, even if he can't afford something. Instead I don't get that, I wanted until well into Janruary and I ended up calling him, all I get are excuses.

Anyway, life is great though... I got an iPod! Love it, it's by far the best mp3 player around... I really do need to start posting in here more. For now all I can say is if you want some icons check out fragileicons

Oh one other small note, how could Trump fire Danny?? I'm so so upset, now I have no favorite. I'm starting to like Stephanie, and a few others. I noticed that my favorites are starting to pop up on the book smarts team now... think I'm going to have to switch favorite teams here pretty soon.

Well I haven't posted here lately, I post mainly in fragileicons now. My icon journal, as you can tell by the side I've been busy with that, amoung other things. Such as a new site, my friend paid for the domain for me and for the first month of space (I'm paying that from now on). It is a Clay Aiken site, since that was the most important site that I lost. Right now it's photo gallery time, so I've been capping and uploading all day. Though I think I might take a break to work on more icons, don't know yet.

Otherwise I haven't really done much, watched a few new shows such as Medicial Investigation and LAX. Both good shows, not really sure which is my favorite though. Medicial Investigation reminds me a bit of CSI, and LAX well just well done. Otherwise it's been some of the same old shows for me Charmed, Days of Our Lives and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. The only other thing I watch now is Jeopardy. I stopped watching that for the longest time since I just got bored with it, then after I heard about Ken winning and winning I just had to watch. Now I'm hooked and watch it all the time, not to mention I am rooting for Ken. Not only is he the same religion as me he just seems like a smart, down to earth, nice guy.

Okay, I'm really pissed off about one thing though despite everything. September 14th has come and gone, which was Primary for Washington State. Did I get to vote? No! I never got my voters registration card, and I sent off to register months ago. I kind of figured I wouldn't get it in time, when I still didn't get it when I got home. I have no clue what is going on with it, but it's just really annoying. Oh well, the big election isn't until November thankfully. I still think Kerry should be the one going into office, I've had enough with Bush. I had enough with Bush before his first year was even up. Anyway, that is it for now got things to do, including many more photos to upload.

Home again

2004-08-31T21:24:24Z

Well I'm back home and frustrated at many things. First off my personal site is gone again. I swear my host spends more time down then up, I really really need a new host. The problem is I can't show my site to get it hosted since it's always down. I don't know, maybe I'll get lucky and someone will read this that can host it... since it's getting to be really annoying. After going through the work of installing b2 for it, working on pages and all of that it's never up anyway. Oh well.

Then the other thing I'm frustrated over is the Clay Aiken concert. Okay, so most wouldn't get why that would make me upset in anyway. Let me tell you the details. On Thursday, August 26th, I was suppose to be going with the daughter of my dad's friend Valerie. Well she was suppose to get at the apartment at 7pm since the concert was at 8pm. At 7pm Valerie called to say they would be a bit later than 7 but that is it. Well 7:50 pm came along and my dad and I left, though the Minnesota State Fair isn't far from where he lives. Though when you throw in an accident it seems to take 10 times longer to get there. Then adding in the time to find parking and walk to the grandstand. So basically I only saw about the last 15 minutes of the concert. Oh and Valerie was mad at my dad for not waiting, hmmm lets see... they showed up at 8:05 PM which is what they had said. If I had waited, I would of saw nothing at all. I know there are lots that didn't even get to go to a concert, but I got lucky that my dad lives in Minnesota. Then to end up missing most of it.

Then to top things off I still haven't got my voters registration card. I should of got it by now and now there is some voting coming up on September 14th. I'm just praying that I get it in time, I want to be able to vote this year. And yes, I am going to vote for Kerry. I'm not going to say much more about anything election related. Oh and does anyone have sprint for a cell? I just got that and well I'm already mad at them. Yes, I know another thing to be mad at. But their site if you request them to text you the password it says it's under construction, activating the phone online is under construction, if you call to activate it takes too long. To the point I just hang up, they don't have enough people working their to answer the phones. I'm not going to sit there for an hour waiting for someone to finally answer. The signal and stuff like that is at least good and I have 'Invisible' by Clay as my ring tone. But otherwise, blah. Well that is it, but it is great to be back home! Later. I might just buy a domain for my personal site, depends if I find a host. Of course I can't afford a domain and space, hmmm.

Hello Minnesota, Bye Washington

2004-08-09T23:36:08Z

Okay, so I'm not in Minnesota yet despite what the topic of this entry says but it's coming soon enough. I'm debating how excited I am, though I'm going to see Clay in concert there and hopefully finally see the third HP movie if it's still playing anywhere. Just it's been stressful leading up to the final day and still kind of is. Okay so I am looking forward to it, I'm also getting a laptop and will get to see my dad. Though he'll probably be working most of the time, which I understand he needs to work.

The main and best part other than my dad is Clay. Ah yes, I'm going with two other people one for sure is a girl named also Megan and well don't know about the other one yet. At least I'm going with people my age, I usually go to the Clay concerts with my mom (she's a fan too though, so thats okay).

I don't have much to say, well I miss HBO! We have a free preview weekend, it's fun watching Bill Maher. I agree with alot of his standings on political issues so I love watching him. Though HBO is seriously messed up. I watched Ellen ya know, the comedian with her own talk show. She had a concert for comedy of course they had it as rated 'R'. Well there was nothing worth making it rated R. That was the worst job when it came to rating something... ever. But now I want my HBO back, I know mom won't buy it though. But oooh I'll get it for two weeks, there at my dads he has it. Okay so this one case... God bless cable! I still prefer my satellite though (hey, we have TiVo!)

Speaking of TV tonight is the end of my favorite show, well I don't know if they are doing another right away or not. For Love or Money, I love it, love it, love it! Actually it's my second favorite show, Monk is first. I do hope they do another show right away with it... especially if it's Mike that doesn't get picked. I want him to come back for the next one. Anyway, I'm done talking for now.

Not much going on

2004-07-28T20:15:38Z

Okay so I haven't wrote much in here.. in some ways it's due to a lack of anything happening. Then again.. there were a few things going on. For one finally got myself registered to vote in this years election. And if you must know yes I am a John Kerry supporter and democrat. On another note we had some not so wonderful stuff happen. Including an almost fire. My mom had turned on the wrong burner, but she managed to turn it off before it caught fire. Though we did have to get out of there.. and quickly since it was filled with smoke. So once we got some windows open, we were out of there. I still remember my uncle asking if inhaled any when I was outside coughing. Let me tell you.. it's no picnic. It makes your throat and nose hurt.. and one of my friends all she cared about was having her stupid layout coded. When I told her in the first place I was only helping every now and then.. and I already promised to install Invision Boards for her and set up a layout for that.

Then yesterday was the lovely day where family was here.. actually it was fun. My cousin came back from Germany (he's in the airforce).. Thankfully he didn't get sent to Iraq. I heard from family that some of them sent to Germany did end up going to Iraq.. and well I didn't really get to know my cousin well until recently and that would be horrible. Since the last time I saw him before this year.. was when I was I believe 9.. maybe 10.

Okay.. this is so weird. I just did a search on yahoo on my cousin 'Kiel Fisher' (brother of the one in the airforce).. He's in the minors for the Phillies.. Here's what I found:

Q: Snapper Bean from Greater Kensington asks:
Terry Jones had somewhat disappointing numbers in Lakewood this year yet still appears ranked ahead of Jake Blalock and Kiel Fisher on the prospect list. Is it a tools based evaluation or is Terry given credit for playing in a very weak lineup and in an extreme pitchers park?

A: Will Kimmey: I know you've read our little intro for these lists, which state they combine performance, tools and ceiling. Fisher and Jones are the same age, and while Fisher beat up on younger players, Jones did hold his own in a full-season league. A .192 start queered his over numbers, and he hit .261-9-42 with 15 doubles from May-July. He's also the best defender in the system. Fisher actually ranks just two spots below Jones, however, at No. 12, so the difference isn't as much as you'd think. Blalock doesn't play third anymore and struggled making contact in SS Batavia. He's got the raw power, but his swing is just too long for now. He must show he can use that power in game action.

I still think it's so weird to be able to find things where they are talking about my cousin. Even found a site where a guy had my cousins baseball card.. oh wow, so do I and signed of course.

Icons and my bad luck

2004-07-12T22:25:52Z

Okay first some Buffy icons.. from the episode Welcome to Hellmouth

Welcome To Hellmouth

Clay Aiken Icons

If you use any, please credit _ivebeenclayed.

Anyway, so today I found out that you can auction on two front row tickets and two backstage passes.. and the money goes to Bubel/Aiken. I was really excited at first, since it was only at $40 each ($80 total) for Minnesota. Then.. it went up to $500 each ($1000 total). Why is it that some fans say they are Clay's number one fan.. just because they can travel to hear and there? Some of us aren't made of money. Why do you think I get to travel to Minnesota? Because I had to go through my parents getting a divorce and my dad lives there. Otherwise? I'd be sitting here in Washington, wishing I could go. I am tired of people that think you need to be able to travel here and there to see him just to be a true or his number one fan. There's more to it than that. I would if I could.. but I can't, my mom works at Walmart and my dad at Wendy's. There's some millionaires.

Well on the good side I do have amazing seats to see AI3.. which is on Friday! Whee! Haha, row 4 on the floor, I still can't believe it. Actually I kind of can, since I heard the tickets weren't selling that well.. :P That's probably why I got so darn lucky. Well I don't care why I got lucky, just glad I did. Plus on Thursday I'm hoping to see Spiderman 2.. hoping at least. My mom gets paid that day, so she'll have money again.. right now we're down to like $10 between the both of us. :P Anyway, later.. enjoy the icons!

Not much to say

2004-07-11T01:27:44Z

I've been working on some avatars to post here, so that'll probably be in my next entry. Speaking of working on things I'm starting a site to put all of the blends I have made in one area. There of course will be subpages so there's not ALL of the blends on one page. So.. like challenge entries, requests I've done, blends I've used for signatures.. and blends I made for no reason at all.

I saw the new Clay items you can buy at the concert tour! I can't wait! I think I'm going to get the black shirt.. it looks great, but I'll wait to officially decide until I see them in person. But most likely I'll stick with my choice. So yeah, my mom said she'd give me enough money before I go to Minnesota to get a tshirt for me and a program for both of us. She's a Clay fan as well, but unfortunately he's not coming over to the west coast. So I'm going with my dad (thankfully he lives in Minnesota!).

Speaking of concerts.. I have one next week. On the 16th in Portland, Oregon is the American Idol 3 concert. I LOVE my seats for that one, row 4 on the floor.. by far the best seats I have ever had for a concert. Wish I could of got those kind of seats for the Clay concert. :P If only. I'm excited about seeing Diana, Jon, John, George, LaToya, Jennifer and Amy though. So it'll be great.

I might as well post these.. here's a few awards I've gotten just recently (the first three are from Blendify):

New look

2004-07-05T18:11:48Z

I changed the layout, the old one really really sucked and I was about ready to beat it with a stick. This one I actually like.. so it'll stay up. Anyway, I need to finish working on my Clay Aiken mood icons! So far I only have: Accomplished, annoyed, confused, creative, dorky, energetic, flirty, geeky, giggly, happy, mischievous, pissed, satisfied, silly, sleepy and tired. I'm getting there at least!

Speaking of Clay he was on 'A Capitol Fourth' yesterday.. sang the SSB, God Bless the USA and Measure of a Man. He was simply AMAZING. I was just so excited to see him on tv.. he was like the highlight of my day. It was a clayday for me! Which.. nothing wrong with that. It really was a clayday though, yesterday morning around 8ish or so I was halfway awake and all the sudden I heard 'and solitaire is the only game in town..' by none other than Clay Aiken. My mom listened to him to help her wake up to get ready for work. Good choice in music at least.

Anyway, I'm going to head on out of here. Since all I can think to write about is Clay.. Clay.. Clay. Tomorrow I'll be posting avatars for the episode 'Welcome to Hellmouth' of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. If I can find out where my dvd box set ran off to. It's impossible to lose that.. it was right on my desk. Anyway, I'm going to go search and look around Blendify more.

Well this sucks

2004-07-04T07:45:45Z

So... I went to clayaikenfan.com today. Found out that Bubel/Aiken Foundation is doing a thing with Krispy Kreme, and we can sell it in our local area. You know what sucks about that? I don't live near a Krispy Kreme. You know what sucks more? The fact that the person that sells the most gets to meet Clay.. and go to a concert and all that fun stuff. Well I know that once I get a reseller started and am through college, I was going to donate at least 10% of my earnings to that charity to begin with. Then when I found out they were doing this.. I was excited. Until I remembered, no Krispy Kreme! Well there's one.. but it's like an hour and thirty minutes away.. and since I don't have my own car. I'm up the creek without a paddle as they say.

Anyway, I can't really talk now. My BOB who hasn't been online (for good reasons) is on right now. So like normal.. we are going to bug each other. We're good at that. Later. Oh, btw, I might put some avatars or something.. I'm actually thinking of doing a set for each episode on the first season of Buffy and first season of Monk (once I get the dvd set). So if there are any requests.. just let me know. Only from Buffy and Monk right now, later I'll get into movies and stuff you can make requests from.

No power, just lovely

2004-07-01T05:33:03Z

Earlier I was stuck without power.. yeah, really sucked. I didn't get half of the things I wanted and needed to get done.. finished. I did get the new look up for this LJ.. but still. Oh well, I'll start working on them once I get back home after my trip to Walmart with my mom.

You're probably going, Walmart? Yeah, it's 10:28 PM here, but we are leaving to Walmart at 11 PM. Why? My mom can get her check at midnight.. see she works there. Full time even. Plus now I can get Diana's single.. so I'm really excited. I can't wait to hear the cd version of Dreams, Don't Cry Out Loud and I Believe. Knowing Diana I will be blown away.

Well other than the power going out (during Noah Wyle being on Oprah!) today hasn't been so bad. I'm guilty of watching the Simple Life 2 tonight even. I'm sorry, but it is so funny. Tonight's was really good actually, I seriously never thought I'd ever watch this show. Now I just can't help it.. kind of like For Love or Money. I never thought I would start watching it, but I just can't help it. I'm completely hooked.. which that show is starting to come to a close! Speaking of For Love or Money, I have to say.. I hope he picks PJ. I can't stand the other chick.. though.. Andrea was much worse.

Anyway, enough of my reality chit chat that no one cares about except for me. I'm going to quit talking here even though I'm ready to go for the store. I'll write later on.

Now a point?

2004-06-30T03:00:37Z

My first entry like I said was completely pointless. This one.. probably doesn't have much of a point either. There's not much that is really going on in my life. Well other then being single now (long story), wanting Diana's single and buying Clay concert tickets.

As for the Diana single part.. I only have $3 in cash to my name and my mom only has $1. Yeah, all of her money went to bills and when we went to see Garfield, oh and a bit of shopping. So.. now I don't have the money to buy the single. Well my mom gets paid on Thursday, but having to wait sucks. I'm hoping that my mom surprises me by putting it onto her credit card and getting it for me.

Speaking of music.. okay if you really really liked an artist, and wanted to see them live. Would you settle for any seats, as long as you got to see them in concert? I know I would, especially for Clay, Diana or Kelly. Well there's a few others I could name but not going to. It's not really a long story where that question came from just.. someone only settling for up close seats. And I don't really want to go into details on that. I'm not saying for what concert, where I heard it or what not.

While I'm here let me plug something. The Harry Potter Forums that I think everyone should join.

This is a pointless post

2004-06-30T02:16:00Z

There isn't any point to this post, just wanted to have an entry up to make sure this new layout looks right. Anyway, it's Avril who I'm not a huge fan of but I like some of her songs. Like the one that I have lyrics from on this layout.. 'My Happy Ending'. I LOVE that song. I'll be back with a real post soon.
