Closing time
I'm closing the diary and these pitas. Read the last diary entry above for more info.

Lola Cam
I set up my webcam, but everyone tells me they can't see it. Only further convinces me that computers hate Lola.

Sapphira: awwwwww the panda is cuuuuuuuuuuuuute!! I love pandas
Russell: yup
Sapphira: *cuddles the panda*
Russell: hehe
Russell: I'll leave you two guys alone
Sapphira: *rolls her eyes* you're just jealous ;)
Russell: yeah, I wanted the panda to myself
Russell: you got me
Sapphira: *grins*
Russell: damn you and your panda love
Sapphira: I'm sorry, Russell. It wasn't meant to be for you two.
Russell: I know
Russell: It never is
Russell: *sigh*
Sapphira: *sigh*
Russell: first the squirrel, then the otter, now the panda, when does it end?
Sapphira: *quirks an eyebrow*
Russell: I suppose I could see if the skunk is available
Sapphira: don't they have laws against that?
Russell: you hope so

I have an appointment Saturday to get my hair cut! I think I'm getting it like White, the Koreanime character whose URL I posted down there somewhere, and am too lazy to get now.

The fit didn't hit the shan, and I'm not banned from the computer. Yay! *does a jig*

I'm afraid I'll have to use this as a diary substutite for awhile. Until the whole dland thing straightens out. Now a couple other people are having problems, so maybe it's not my ISP.

I finally got an email, btw. 48 hours later, instead of 24. AFTER I sent them a slightly more forcefully-worded one earlier today.. now they'll get that and get mad at me, and I feel stupid. *sigh* But it's not my fault! They SAID 24 hours! And I waited two days for them!

I went to Sam's Club with me mum tonight and saw they had marked down this keyboard I've been eyeing. I really wanted a digital piano, but that's $1500, and this keyboard is only $140. And it has lots of cool features. So I think tomorrow I might go about the tedious business of moving money into my checking account. But I just realized I don't have a Sam's Club card of my own, so I have to wait til Mum can go with me.

I've picked up Amber's habit of saying "mum" instead of "mom." But I'm still uncertain whether I should use Aussie spelling. I would like to, but I don't want to seem pretentious. But I just think it's so FUN to use s's instead of z's, and stick u's where they don't belong ^_~

While I like Tim, his anti-Yank comments ALWAYS get on my nerves. I try to just blow it off, but things like that get to me. I put nationalism and regionalism on the same plane as sexism and racism. Meaning, totally morally wrong. One shouldn't dislike anybody because of where they come from. Plain and simple.

I don't know if we still have plans with my sister-in-law to see "America's Sweethearts" tomorrow. But I am going to see it, with or without her. She often waffles on plans, and it is very irritating. I want people to tell me straight-up yes or no, not "weeeeeeell... maybe." I am someone who likes to make definite plans. Even if my plans aren't carried out eventually, I still like to have clear goals to shoot for.

For instance, next summer I know I'm going to Minnesota in June, and I would also like to go to Britain and Ireland. But I won't go alone, obviously. So this leaves me in the position of hinging my plans on someone else, which irks me. I guess I'm a control freak in this regard *L* But I WILL find someone to go with! Or maybe I'll just meet Rachel and she'll travel all over the country with me! ^_^ I dunno, she's always busy too. Misty's a year younger than me, so that presents a problem. But I'm hoping Mary would go with me.

OH! I DID jump rope today, after I wrote in here earlier! It was fun. I jumped rope (although I always have the urge to say "jump roped") in the family room while listening to Fleetwood Mac. Ha ha. Anachronistic, eh? A 17-year-old with her hair in a bouncy ponytail jumping rope to Fleetwood Mac. *sigh* I tell you, I was born in the wrong decade.

Now you know how I get worried when posts get long, so I'm sending this now!

and right there for a minute
i knew you so well

The number one song on my birthdate in the UK was "Give It Up" by KC And The Sunshine Band. In the US, it was "Every Breath You Take" by The Police. Yay. Not.

Mood: Grumpy
Fired off another email to my ISP. They never did respond after 24 hours. I can't say I'm surprised. Their service is terrible. I warn everyone against signing up with PeoplePC. I wish my parents would have told me about this before signing the 3 year contract.

I stayed up late and my sister told my mom, so don't be surprised if you don't see me around for awhile.

I really wish I could at least read some diaries and forget about myself for a bit.

Doug is cheering me up on MSN. He's so sweet. I wish I were a couple years older so we really could go out for pizza!

I didn't jump rope yesterday like I was thinking of. So I think I'll try that today. I need some kind of exercise.

Today I showered, watched that a rerun of that old show "Grace" -- which I'd already seen, of course. Then I watched "Trading Places" on TLC. The British version of the show is soooo much better. It's on BBC America, I think. Or maybe Trio. It's name is similar, but different. "Changing Rooms" or something like that.

I guess I'm now using my pitas as a diary! Well, so be it. I need a place to vent.

I need to find a job. I'm sick of being nagged about being on the computer. And I would like to be accumulating money. I may need to move out soon. Ha. Like that will happen. I know I ought to be working on writing. For the future book that will make my [pen]name famous and have me rolling in dough.

Yes, we actually say that in America. And yes, AnnaMia, we do say "out of synch" in English. Crazy, eh?

I also wanted to get my hair cut. Maybe I'll just give in and go to one of those places... what're they called... the only word coming to mind is Payless, but that's a shoe store. Oh yeah! CostCutters. That type place. Anyway, I don't really need a haircut, I suppose.

Well, I ought to post this before I lose it.

My gimpy foot is burning again, but not screaming at me like previously. Fortunately, Mummy just arrived with some more ointment for it.

More silly stuff... do not read the following.

Sometimes, like right now, I feel really dumb.

I know I shouldn't compare myself and my creations to other people/people's, and yet I still do! As usual, I am insecure about my websites.

When other people complain, at least they are funny about it. All I do is whine. In a non-amusing way.

It makes me glad pitas doesn't have a "comment" tool. I'm sure I would get comments like, "Crawl into the ground and die," or some such.

Now I can't get dland to come up AT ALL. All I get is "cannot find server." Speaking of which, I still have not received a reply from my ISP.

I'm watching "You've Got Mail" on and off this afternoon. I bought it last week. I love that movie! I wish I were adorable like Meg Ryan.

My monitor is trembling. It's very distracting. Now I'm afraid it's going to blow up in my face.

Well, I modified the design, so it's not messed up anymore, but it's also not exactly what I wanted. Oh well!

I still can't get anything to load with diaryland, so another day with no diary. *sigh* At least we have a new look for the pitas, eh? I'm thinking of moving the side bar over to the left.

^ Posted Wednesday, July 18, 2001 at 10:23 a.m.


I try to make a new design, and it messes all up like this. I have to go now, otherwise I'd scrap it all and make something new.

I am BORED.

I'm bored of the Internet, and my computer always messing up on me. I am bored of my life.

I just beat Mario, which WOULD be good, except: there was a secret portal in level 5-3 which jumped me from that level to level 7-1. So I beat that and 7-2, and that's the end of the game. But now it won't let me go back and beat those other levels! I'm just in this weird Yoshi secret world, with all the same levels except I have catch Yoshi eggs! NOOO! I want to beat those other levels! I feel CHEATED.

I am also hungry. I guess I'll go have some watermelon.

I thought it was funny that Annie mentioned wanting a Vespa scooter, because that's what my mom and I have been talking about for awhile! We figured if we sold the third car, we could afford one, and she could drive it to work (her idea, of course). And then I could take it for a spin when I wanted, and she could use the second car (which I'll drive to school) to go get groceries and such sundry things! Sounds like a plan, eh? By the way, I have written TONS for my diary, but am having some problems with diaryland. I emailed my ISP about it. Lets see if they even write me back.

Since I can't get into Diaryland, here are some things to amuse you.

^ Posted Tuesday, July 17, 2001 at 03:59 p.m.


Currently: I am frustrated because both Diaryland and the HotWT board are down. This is CRAZY! What shall I do? *weeps*

New design
The diary gets another makeover.

^ Posted Thursday, July 12, 2001 at 06:16 p.m.

Look!
It's the haircut I wanna get! ^_^ The hair color is right, even...

^ Posted Thursday, July 12, 2001 at 06:15 p.m.


I don't really like this design anymore, but I've been playing around and haven't come up with anything else. I have another pita, and I like that design better. But I don't really have a reason for either! Maybe I should keep a food diary, or something like that, with a definite purpose to it.

^ Posted Thursday, July 12, 2001 at 02:16 p.m.


While searching for inspiration for my friend's new diary's design, I came across this jewel. It leads the mind to wonder: is that a scientific term?

^ Posted Wednesday, July 11, 2001 at 03:51 p.m.


Yikes. Never eat any plants unless you know precisely what it is!

^ Posted Thursday, July 5, 2001 at 11:11 p.m.


This is funny.

YAY! Todd liked Moulin Rouge! Goodness, can that man write. I want to write reviews like that.

^ Posted Wednesday, July 4, 2001 at 09:29 p.m.

Moulin Rouge photo album
I started a database of my favorite pics from "Moulin Rouge." So far they've all been taken from Eccentricity, a great Ewan fansite. Go visit both URLs! =)

Back from vacation! And still didn't figure out a purpose for this weblog, besides notifying you of updates ^_^ Well, you know my diary is updated daily, so just visit that every day!

Now playing: Hindi Sad Diamonds, "Moulin Rouge" soundtrack
