So, What Did I Do Today?

THE END :(

2011-03-01T20:16:00.000-08:00

I regret to inform you all that this blog is being discontinued. After days and weeks, and months of total neglect, I decided that this blog needs to be retired. I just simply do not have enough time to even update this blog anymore.

At the end of this week, it'll be taken down and sent to the computer disk in the sky. I would like to thank all of you for being with me during this time and for listening to me as I talk about my life (or the lack of it).

But don't feel too bad about me, I'm just going on to bigger and better things. Like having my own blogtv show, where I can just talk about my life.

Once again, thanks for reading this sad neglected blog.

2011-02-01T18:34:00.000-08:00

Happy February, everyone!!

It's been a few hours, and already I'm feeling myself in a pinch since it's the month of "love" and all.

But if you are wondering why I haven't updated in a while, I had had a very bad cold which I tried (unsuccessfully) to shake off and had to stay in bed for a while; so there you have it.

I'm now embarking on my 100 drawings challenge for DeviantArt meaning that I'll be drawing 100 pictures for 100 days. Fun.

Speaking of fun, here's a fun fact:

The modern hypodermic needle was invented in 1853. It was initially used for giving injections of morphine as a painkiller. Physicians mistakenly believed that morphine would not be addictive if it bypassed the digestive tract.

Well, I'm taking a break from watching the Golden Globes to post in this blog, but nothign can be promised as nothing significant happened the past few days.

I need some serious help here, folks! My life is starting to get very boring very quickly!

New Year...

2011-01-10T17:45:00.000-08:00

Now that the New Year has came and passed, I say it's time to go back to this blog. And with nothing else to do (for now) I'll be bringing you an update on how I'm doing in the New Year so far.

Tomorrow.

Welcome to 2011, everyone!!

Final Blog Post of 2010

2010-12-28T17:31:00.000-08:00

Well, the holidays are now over and now I am free to really update this poorly neglected blog. But 2010 is nearing its end and soon it will be the year 2011, and I have some new goals to set for myself, in both my creative life and my real life as well.

Well, I'm getting tired so I'll have to end it right here.

12/17/2010

2010-12-17T21:35:00.000-08:00

OMG!! I'm so sorry!!!

I just realized that it has been well over a month since my last blog post, and since then, so much has happened!!!

I can't list them all at this moment, but hen I get the chance. I'll let you all know about it.

So once again, SORRY!!!

Why haven't I updated for November?

2010-11-01T00:00:00.000-07:00

Because I've been busy with NaNoWriMo.

I'll be back next month!

10/26/2010

2010-10-26T17:00:00.000-07:00

Why is it that I can do EVERYTHING else except this blog? It's feeling sad and neglected and I'm thinking about deleting it altogether.

But wait! I still need this blog to rant about my boring, uneventful life and how much I hate it.

So there.

I'll give you all the lowdown on my life since my last post tomorrow.

10/14/2010

2010-10-14T22:09:00.000-07:00

Well, another late post, but alas, it's not too bad than what I had before.

So being the very bored person that I am, I decided to create some stamps for my anti-Potter fantasy projects and will be unloading some new fics for FanFiction Fridays. As well as think of some stories to write for NaNoWriMo, which is less than 2 weeks away.

There you go.

Fun facts: When the Civil War ended, the United States sued England for damages resulting from its construction of ships for the Confederacy.

Busyness has prevented me from updating this blog, but not to worry, stuff got done!

Today was just not my day.

I had a bad headache and had to stay in bed all day, which was NOT FUN!!!

Then Threadsy, the email program I was using, deleted ALL my email addresses and refused to let me re-enter them, so I'm mad.

And then some other stuff happened, so my life sucks right now.

Maybe an evening of TWILIGHT and NEW MOON will erase this mess.

Fun facts: As World War I raged through Europe in 1917, Ed Cox of San Francisco invented a presoaped pad with which to clean pots. His wife named it S.U.S., which, as the story goes, stood for "Save Our Saucepans."

2010-09-11T21:26:00.001-07:00

Well, it was a day to remember, for 9 years before, bad people with no sense of goodness decided to blow up two towers and the Pentagon and incite fear into the hearts of Americans everywhere.

But all they got was nothing but anger from a country who would NOT stand for any wickedness and a group of men foolishly provoked America into war, a war that would be to end stupidity and stop giving normal Muslims a bad name.

And I still know where I was that day when it happened.

So let us remember those whose senseless deaths fueled anger into a nation who doesn't like any evil at all, be it domestic or international.

Fun facts: The first product to have a UPC bar code on its packaging was Wrigley’s chewing gum.

not feeling well, so I didn't do much today :(

fun facts: Married women were forbidden by law to watch, let alone compete, in the ancient Olympics. The Greeks believed that the presence of wives in Olympia would defile Greece’s oldest religious shrine, which was located there. However, young maidens were allowed to attend. Any married woman who dared break the rule was thrown from a nearby cliff to her death. Ironically, the shrine that was off-limits to married women was dedicated to a woman, the fertility goddess Rhea, who was mother of the supreme god, Zeus.

2010-09-07T22:34:00.001-07:00

After a day of wasting time doing nothing, I seem to realize that nothing is being done in the morning.

That means earlier waking up time and later bedtimes are the way to go if I want to get ANYTHING done this month.

Fun facts: Karl Benz of Germany is credited with inventing the very first automobile in 1885. It had an internal combustion engine and three wheels. In 1926, Benz merged his company with that of fellow German auto creator Gustave Daimler to form Mercedes-Benz.

Fun facts: Humans don’t have very much hair on their bodies anymore (except maybe for guys who get their backs waxed). So, hair standing up doesn’t make very good insulationwe don’t have enough fur for that. However, those little muscles we have on the end of each hair still work. They still make goose bumps.

8/24-8/30/2010

2010-08-30T18:12:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was my mother's birthday, but no river trip!

But today is the day to get some stories out there and try to see if I can write them within a given week, with 10 minutes to an hour. That is because I have way too many open project s that need to be completed before I can try out some new stuff.

But anyway, I'll get back to that.

Fun facts: Cockroaches can live for 9 days after their head has been cut off.

While you may know that female mosquitoes are the ones who draw blood and spread disease, don’t bother cursing at them; female mosquitoes are deaf.

It's Friday the 13th, but luckily, nothing bad happened to me today.

But things could change, so I better watch my back at all times.

Fun facts: When it’s hot and you need to cool down, little muscles at the base of each hair relax. Your hair becomes relaxed. Your sweat glands pump out body heat in sweat. Your blood vessels get big to take more heat to the skin in order to get rid of it. But when it’s cold, the arrector muscle pulls the hair up. The duct to the sweat glands gets small to conserve heat. Our blood vessels also get small to save heat.

Fun facts: Demand was great for I Love Lucy merchandise in the late 1950s. A Little Ricky doll debuted in stores, and its manufacturer couldn’t keep up with the thousands of reorders.

I have been quite busy and a bout of sickness prevented me from updating this blog. But now I'm back and better than ever.

I am now about to finish another story, which is good because I can now focus on other projects.

So now I must stop blogging and get back to work.

Fun facts: Each year, there are more than 40,000 toilet related injuries in the United States.

During the height of the Y2K panic in 1999, the U.S. Federal Reserve released $200 billion to defend American banks from a mass cash withdrawal spurred by apocalyptic terror of computer crashes.

2010-08-02T15:58:00.001-07:00

Good news, everyone:

THE BLOG STAYS!!!

But since I've been neglecting it, I decided some changes have to be made, such as no waiting until the end of the day to write about my day, and I'll have to resort to making something up.

Because I've been quite boring.

Fun Facts: The problem begins when bacteria are attracted to the sweat on your feet and start feeding on it. The bacteria’s excretion has a strong odor that causes your feet to smell bad. Since each foot has over 250,000 sweat glands in it, and produces over a pint of sweat a day, there’s a lot for the bacteria to eat. Shoes and socks even make the situation worse. They trap the sweat, and then the bacteria have their favorite kind of environment: dark and damp, causing them to go into a feeding frenzy. Bionote: Men’s feet smell at least 40 percent worse than women’s. So what else is new?

Sad, but true. I think socks and shoes should be banned. What do you think?

Doubtful...

2010-08-01T23:45:00.001-07:00

Ok, so it's now the month of AUGUST and I haven't updated this blog like I should. I feel kind of stupid for not updating at all and I wonder if I should now quit this blog altogether.

So will I? I'll let you know with the answer.

Fun facts: At age 11, long before her leap to international fame in the blockbuster film Titanic, Kate Winslet costarred with a creature called Honey Monster in a British TV commercial for a breakfast cereal.

1 story down, 2 more to go!

Ok, why am I saying that? I need to finish them NOW!!!

Speaking of that, I need to learn how to make my computer run faster.

After all my hard work and stuff, I have now managed to complete one fanfiction story I have been working on for several years now (which was due to a prolonged hiatus, which was my fault). So that story is now done and over with. There will be no sequels that follow.

Also, I'm preparing to make more songs and release them, even to the point of getting them onto YouTube and/or my iPod as a special remix.

And then I have more stories to complete and get rid of before the year is out.

So there you have it.

7/16-7/17/2010

2010-07-17T21:21:00.001-07:00

So I went another night without updating; this time it was my personal choice.

The women at my church had a "Girl's Night Out", in which we watched Evan Almighty and ate popcorn and candy. That was fun.

But today, I was in Borders and a rather insane idea hit me: since I like vampires and thought often about the Russian Royal family who had met their deaths thanks to some very stupid soldiers many years earlier, I thought hey why not make a vampire story about them? I mena, they're taking beloved classics like Jane Eyre and Little Women and putting vampires in them and making a killing, so I figured I'll try that for myself.

Fun facts: As of July 2005, China was the largest country in the World with a population of over 1.3 billion people (over 20% of the World's population).

2010-07-14T18:21:00.001-07:00

But anyway, I need to get back to work on stuff, so no more chatting.

Fun facts: The combined strength of all the hairs on one human head (when woven into a rope) can support the weight of about 400 people.

2010-07-12T19:13:00.001-07:00

I would have gotten some work done today, but I was called in to help clean out the garage and get rid of stuff we're not using.

Speaking of which, I have to figure out what I am keeping and what I am not keeping, which is a whole bunch of stuff that I can never use, but keep and watch it collect dust.

After I'm done, then I can get back to the stories that are collecting dust and can never be written.

Fun facts: The sperm whale has the biggest brain of any mammal. Its brain weighs up to 20 pounds, while the human brain weighs 3 pounds.

7/11/2010

2010-07-11T18:06:00.000-07:00

OK, so I checked the stats and more people in the U.S. read my blogs more than any of the country in the world. Which is kind of unfair because I want EVERYONE in the world to read my blogs.

Anyway, speaking of that, I'm giving my blogs a major upgrade so that more people can read them and see what I have to say about almost...anything.

Fun Facts: Buttermilk does not contain any butter. So why do they call it "buttermilk" then?

7/9-7/10/2010

2010-07-10T19:21:00.000-07:00

So guess what? I made some music and put it on the Internet. Nice, huh?

And also, I'm getting closer to finishing my stories; all my other stories are just begging to be written.

So I'll stop chatting and finish writing!

7/8/2010

2010-07-08T18:17:00.000-07:00

Why is it that summer always turns us into vampires? I mean, during the day, I just want to SLEEP!! Not do anything else, but sleep. But at night, I can do whatever I want because it's night!

Well, today was yet another boring day full of updating the blog and scanning stories that will be of use to me in the near future.

Boring. My summer sucks. Thank goodness Friday is tomorrow!

7/7/10

2010-07-07T20:14:00.000-07:00

I'm dead.

OK, I was not being serious.

I was so dead-set on updating my movie review blog that I passed out before I finished up and could go on to other stuff. I apologize for that.

And another thing: I have stuff to scan, but I need to scan when no one can bother me and my stuff.

What to do tomorrow? The same thing I do today.

Real life sucks.

Fun facts: Ants stretch when they wake up. They also appear to yawn in a very human manner before taking up the tasks of the day.

7/3-7/6, 2010

2010-07-06T19:41:00.000-07:00

Well, after all the holiday parties and whatnot, I feel that it's time to get back to this poor, old neglected blog. But the good news is that I'm getting closer to finishing some stories that I have been writing for several years and I even plan to do some new original works that will become best-selling fiction one day.

Or I could rewrite all the stories I made up in high school and make them all better, since the stuff I wrote about in the past cannot fit into the mindset that I have today. But how these stories will be written remains to be seen.

Fun Facts: Snakes are true carnivorous because they eat nothing but other animals. They do not eat any type of plant material.

6/30-7/2/2010

2010-07-02T18:58:00.001-07:00

Due to the movie premieres and after parties and movie-watching parties and whatnot, I haven't been able to update you guys.

Which is too bad since you'll be watching movies and not paying attention to me anyway.

Anyway, I did go see "The Last Aribender and I have a review for that on my movie review blog. Also, I finished reading "The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner" and I'll be reviewing that as well.

And if I'm not back tomorrow, it's the 4th of July holidays and there's no way you can talk to me anyway.

Fun Facts: Elephant herds post their own sentries. Whenever danger threatens, the lookout raises its trunk, and though it may be as far as a half-mile away, the rest of the herd is instantly alerted. How this communication takes place is not understood.

2010-06-29T18:43:00.001-07:00

In just mere hours, Eclipse the movie will be here and I'll be watching it over the weekend.

Just what I needed.

Also, I've gotten some fanfics lined up to be released on the day the movie comes out in theaters.

Fun facts:

6/28/2010

2010-06-28T18:08:00.001-07:00

Only 2 more days for Eclipse the movie!!!

Today I scanned scores of papers I have typed over the years; if I had done that earlier this year, I wouldn't have so much stuff.

Also, we must now say goodbye to Senator Robert Byrd; he died today. He was 92 years old. The things he had seen and partook in BEFORE I became a FanPire leaves much to be desired.

EDIT:
We found our cat...turns out he had hidden himself under a car in someone's driveway. We are all very happy he is OK.

It has been a year since the deaths of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett were reported in the news, bringing shock and grief to millions of people around the world. Their families seemed to be holding up quite well, given the circumstances of those deaths.

But then again,, I have to learn to drop access to the computer for an hour so I can read the books I wanted to read over the summer, but can't due to my procrastination and distractedness.

Can it be done? I hope so.

Today in History:

As far as we all know, today is the purported birthday of Anastasia Romanov (1901-1918), a princess of Russia whose disappearance when her entire family was slain in 1918 and rumors that she survived had captivated the world for decades.

But alas, we found out that she did NOT survive; she was found dead along with her brother Alexei (Alexis) and they were buried in St. Petersburg, Russia with their parents and sisters.

So anyway, now that this mystery has had a sad ending, all we can do is remember that she could have had a better life had those stupid Bolsheviks not killed her.

As a major public service in Roman times, at the intersection of three streets, there was a kind of kiosk where further info was posted for travelers.

Fun Facts: Alice Cooper liked to wear a pet boa constrictor around his neck while on stage. While he was rehearsing in his hotel room, the snake started to constrict Cooper’s neck. A bodyguard couldn’t get the snake to uncoil, so he took out a pocketknife and cut off its head.
