Unlike most people, I don't have a list of requirements for potential friends. All I ask is that you show respect and please, for god's sake, do not speak computer lingo (i.e., u r 2 kewl, punk rawk, ROFL, etc.). Please, take that extra second of your precious time to spell out 'you', 'are' and so on.

Think you might enjoy talking to me? Go on, roll a d20. ;)

Current Music: Live: I, alone

We (Linda, Mathew, Ed and I) couldn't make it to the 4:30 showing, so we had to settle for the 7:30 one. We arrived at around 5:00 and, with nothing better to do, we walked around for two hours. We squeezed our way through the crowds of teenagers who were huddled around eachother, chatting as if they had something important to talk about. It was traumatizing. We went in Spencer's upon Linda's request. I hate that store. My ex-boyfriend, Billy, was working there. We're good friends and haven't hung out in a while, so Linda and I decided to invite him to take his break with us. Linda thinks he's 'hot'. ( Billy )
We spent $25.00 on two large popcorns, four drinks and a bag of raisenettes. That's after the discount and special deal the guy gave us. The movie was good, but I have to say I was a little disappointed. At one point during the first kill scene, some guy in the back yelled out, "titties." During the fight scene between Freddy and Jason, Linda was getting a little too excited and yelling, "get 'im Jason!" Immediately following Linda's outburst, someone harshly told her to 'shut the hell up'.
Making our way out of the mall after the movie was just as difficult as it was when we first arrived. Little 'goths' who pretend to be so morbid, walking around shuffling their feet and staring at the ground; cheerleaders who think they're god's gift to society. Whether they want to believe it or not, they're all the same. Damn teenyboppers.

1) When you were a little kid, what did you want to be more than anything when you grew up?
An archaeologist. I loved the idea of uncovering lost, ancient civilizations.

2) What do you think is the biggest flaw in your personality?
It's difficult -- if not impossible -- for your average person to name a major flaw in his or her personality. However, I'd have to say my biggest flaw is my stubborness. I'll admit it, I'm pig-headed. When I say that I'm right, I usually am. I do not back down if I know that I'm right. This tends to annoy people.

3) Broadsword, longsword or bastard sword?
Definitely a bastard sword. Why? You can use it as either a one-handed or a 2-handed sword. It's very versatile.

4) What's the tackiest thing you see people wear that absolutely pisses you off?
There are quite a few, actually. The number one spot would have to go to those pants that say 'bootylicious' or 'princess' on the butt.

5) What's your dream vacation?
A week stay in Ireland or Scotland. The green knolls and valleys, old castles, the pubs and the general history...I get nostalgic just thinking about it.

My friend Linda and I are heading up to the mall to see Freddy vs. Jason in about half an hour. I'm not too excited, I'd rather see The Medallion. I'm basically just going so she'll have some company. Plus, I'd like to spend some time with her. It's been a long while since I've went somewhere with a female friend who wasn't family. Well, she will be family someday considering she and Dan are related. Anyway, yeah, so.... bleh.

While I'm up there I might as well see if they have volume six of Chobits. For some reason I can never find a copy of that one.

I'm just like every other woman in the sense that I love shopping, most of the time anyway. Again, like any other woman, I love a good deal/sale.
Yesterday I went to Bealls Outlet and bought a really nice pair of beige jeans (Mudd) for $20.00, regular $40.00. I don't usually wear khaki, beige or white pants, but I need them for work. While I was at it, I ended up buying a Care Bear baby-doll t-shirt (it's so cute) to go with the pants. Hey, it was only $4.99. If you don't have a Bealls Outlet near you, you're missing out. It's like Ross...only better. :)
Afterwards we went up to the mall hoping to see The Medallion, but it didn't start until four-something. We weren't about to wait six hours to see it, so we headed over to Books-a-million before we left. I ended up giving in to temptation by buying volume seven of Chobits .

By the way, if you ever find yourself in need of a good anime (movie or series collection) check out Next-Day Anime. They seriously have the best prices I've ever seen, not to mention the fast and reliable service. I've ordered about 10 DvDs from them and have never had a problem. Best place to get quality anime, in my opinion.

I'm not sure if they're going to release a four disc extended version of The Two Towers -- like they did with The Fellowship -- or not, though I would like them to.
Anyway, Dan and I went to Wal-Mart today looking for an extended version of it and found the original for only $14.97. We were debating whether or not to go ahead and buy it, but decided against it because that would mean forking out another $30.00 for the extended when we finally find it.
I believe Blockbuster has the extended version for $26.00 so we're going to head there later today and find out. I wouldn't mind the four disc set, but all we really want is The Two Towers dvd with the extra scenes (as in The Fellowship). If you know of a place that carries it, please let me know! :)

UPDATE
I went to Blockbuster.com and found the collector's edition, extended version, four-disc set (WS) for $33.98. They also had the collector's edition four-disc set with the collectable gollum statue for $68.00, but to hell with that. I don't need a gollum toy. I'm hoping that the actual Blockbuster store carries the extended version.

My favorite color really is white or beige. So, according to this I was either a scribe or a Druid. Works for me!

I'm obsessed with codes and websites. I'm constantly creating websites and layouts and finding new ways to screw with codes. Lately it's becoming a pain considering how much space all these background images, graphics and buttons/banners are taking up. Ah well. Maybe one day I'll actually settle on one site, allowing me to delete all the excess crap I have on the computer.

Dan and I went furniture browsing yesterday. We found the perfect living room set! It includes a couch, loveseat and a three-piece table set (coffee table and two end-tables). The couch and loveseat are a beautiful, neutral color (whitish-beige). The tables are nice, thick oak. The price of the set? 690.00 dollars after taxes. We're getting it soon! :)

Many websites that offer free building and hosting force those horrid ads on your webpages! I love making websites using frames and custum layouts, but those icky banner ads ruin the look.
Let's say that you decide to use frames on your Angelfire website. You finish the painstaking task of organizing everything and getting it to look perfect. You save, minimize the Web Builder, and preview your page. Much to your surprise -- and horror -- you find that you now have one large banner on the top of your page as well as an identical smaller one inside your frames! How annoying!
Well, for those of you who enjoy making websites and hate ads, yet don't have the money to pay for a premium site, I have the answer to your problem: Freewebs.com.
Freewebs.com allows you to build a website (using an advanced or basic editor) without ads for nothing at all! They also include nifty add-ons such as chatrooms, forms, guestbooks and forums.

I've tried it. There's absolutely no catch. Try it out, you have nothing better to do. :)

If anyone is interested in MMORPGs, check out Middle-Earth Online .
I must admit that I didn't care for the idea at first. There was just something about playing a MMORPG based on a best-selling book/movie that didn't sit well with me. However, after reading more about the game I changed my mind.
The screenshots are beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Aside from that, the best thing about the game, in my opinion, is that you can be anything from a warrior to a farmer! Yes, a farmer!
The story of the book -- and the travels of the fellowship -- can be witnessed by the players! Their passing can, and probably will, effect your homes and life within the game. I have to say that this game is very realistic in terms of cause and effect (we mustn't forget the graphics!).
The bad thing: it won't be released (for beta) until mid 2004.

I'll be signing up for beta.

I never realized that I had so much Tool merchandise. There was a time when I would go out and buy every Tool poster, t-shirt, hoodie, patch and button that I could get my hands on! Hell, I would have even bought a Tool coffee maker if they had one! I would buy these things to help the band out, as if my measly $10.00 here and there actually meant anything.
I have Tool merchandise that's almost eight years old...possibly older.
Honestly, I rarely wear any of my Tool clothing and I took many of my posters down years ago. That's not to say I didn't continue to buy them, though. I still own every CD they've ever put out and I listen to them regularly.
In an age when the radio stations are polluted by bands such as Puddle of Mud, Limp Bizkit and Avril Lavigne -- who honestly have very little musical talent whatsoever -- Tool brings a shimmer of hope that music hasn't completely gone to hell. The music that Tool produces is definitely inspiring, to me at least. I think, in a way, Tool's music had a hand in making me who I am today. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, I'm not sure.
Now, if I could only tell them how much I respect and admire their musical abilities -- if my words would actually mean something to them -- I'd be happy.

Ok, I've decided to finally get a pair of glasses. I'm sick of wearing my contacts all the time, so, if I want to be comfortable this is my only option. After trying on numerous pairs of glasses (from neutral colored wire frames to purple plastic ones) I can honestly say that I look best in the plastic frames. Not to mention the fact that I'm against those nose-pad indentations.
I've decided on a pair of cute, sturdy, black-plastic frames instead of the basic wire frames. They had a pair of huge 'Buddy Holly' frames; they swallowed my face. Anyway, the pair I picked out are small and almost rectangular (rather than round).

Off topic:
When I woke up today I noticed that my right eye was extremely sensitive to the light and would shut if I was in anything other than dim light or darkness. I looked in the mirror with the light on and noticed that while my left pupil would decrease and increase in size to fit the amount of light, my right eye would not. It just stayed the same size. I don't have a clue what could have caused this. Thankfully it seems to be getting better.
