welcome to melancholy paradise! This is my one world, and I cram if full of miscellaneous things: pictures, videos, rants, boring things about me, and occasional hauls. yup.

gifts!!

Today was my brothers' and my "family birthday party, part 2". (my mom's side of the family came; part 1 was my dad's side)
I got a Pandora's Box charm bracelet!!!!!!!!!! *^0^*
It's so pretty and cuuute! *gleams* it makes me so happy and warm feeling!
^-^
plus, I got a case for my PSP, so i can bring it places and don't have to worry about it getting damaged or anything (I'll probably still worry... it will just be more protected) And on top of that, I got a borders gift card so i can go buy more manga!

yah. it was a good day.

These are the kinds of posts that i wonder if anybody reads... they're so self-centered and i don't think anyone could benifit from them, yet i continue to post these kinds of things. hmmm... I guess i just like keeping updated on my life in case anyone wonders...

this world is ranked #401/10879 currently... I need to step it up a bit? Maybe i'd get a better ranking if i actually made this world about anime instead of just having it be about stuff i get and my x country happenings... (Maybe it would help if I stopped using so many ...dot...dot...dots... I can't stop using them! I'm very unsure/hesitant[/ i like to trail off when i talk] of everything i'm writing so i keep ...dot dot dotting...)

my goal is to get this world to the top 100 or maybe even top 50! is it possible? I don't care! I'll keep posting and maybe people will start reading. plus, i'll try to focus more on things people might actually be interested in; not just stuff about boring me!

eep! just by posting this my rank went up to # 401 / 10879 !!

blah- a rainy day.

today we had x counrty practice in the pouring rain. Now i'm really cold... it was really fun though.

I know i originally said that i was going to post my times from the meets, but i kinda forgot the exact times, so i'm just going to be kinda general. I'm just going to say that... I am only 14 so i'm slow compared to you high schoolers on cross country who can run 5 minute miles or whatever!! okay...

so, at the first meet I came in at a whooping 17 minutes. (this is for 2 miles)
second meet, 16:30 minutes.
third meet, 16:20 (aproximately)
fourth meet, 16:10 aprox.
fifth meet, 16:00 (<-- my actual exact time.)

so i've improved a lot... and i'm still getting better and not worse. my goal for the next meet is under 16minutes. now i'm really anxious to do "the mile run" in gym class cause i want to see how much i have improved from my 8:04 mile last year. one mile will be a piece of cake since we run 3 miles at practice usually now... so i'll be sure to post that when we finally do it. (even though i'm sure nobody actually cares about my mile times and stuff. I just like to document these things i guess...)

next weeks only a three day week cause we have parent-teacher conferences and then it's columbus day! yay! we're going on our annual columbus day weekend camping trip (that i have been going on since i was 1) that i totally love!! I get to see my godfather and his family, and they are like, my favorite people! i'm soooo looking forward to that! (^o^)//;

and this weekend som eof our relatives who i haven't seen in a while are coming over for my brothers' and my belated birthday party (they were out of town for various reasons until now). yup... I'm very excited! (>v<)

that's all for now i guess... byeias!

pumpkins, and still sick...

Today I'm home from school. I've had a cold for 2 1/2 weeks now so finally i'm staying home. yesterday after my x country meet I got home and couldn't stop coughing for like 5 minutes and it was really upsetting... and i had a fever sorta. So I'm home today and my dad got worried i had the flu so he called the doctor and I just got back from the doctor's office w/ my mom. (my dad went to work) I don't have the flu (i already knew that) but i have broncial(sp?) spasms... so now i can' run at the meet tomorrow or thursday or go to practice friday, or do gym all three days. (Actually i'm kinda excited about the no-gym part.) I kinda forgot how much i love staying home from school... I have supervised study everyday this year, so it won't be hard for me to catch up on just a day's worth of work. I slept until 9:00am and it felt so good...*sigh* on the way home from the doctor we stopped at a farmstand and I got to pick out pumpkins! one giant orange one and two tiny white ones. my mom's going to get my prescription right now... and when she get's back i'll probably eat lunch (even though it's 2:25pm)

now i'm feeling very productive and am going to outline the next chapter in my social studies book and clean my room...

praise bells, x country, & updates

first off, I'm super happy b/c it turns out rutabagga wasn't mad at me after all, (and she got my e-mail too!) so that's good! Panda is just really dramatic about everything... and i freaked out cause i hate causing tension and drama unnecissarily(sp?). but everything's okay now and i'm not guilty any more!

Yesterday was my first X country meet... and it was so bloomin hot!! we ran around this huge open field and the sun was beating down on us... but I finished 16th (which ironically is my x country number) and 4th in my school! our two best girls weren't there that day though, so if i want to make the top five tomorrow (our next meet) i'm going to have to work hard. I didn't find out my time yet but i'll know tomorrow cause they have to post it... yay!

in 30 minutes i'm going to church to "praise bells" practice, which is a ministery where you play handbells at the church services. the music sounds to soft and cute!! and it looks really cute to ring the bells... eeepp!! the only down side is that there are only like 4 other people doing it, and they're all totally un-cute.(okay, there's one girl who's normal-ish but I can't really make friends with people at my church for some reason. i get really shy and it's kinda hard to get to know me at first...I love church, there's just no one anime-ish and interesting there...)so i'm going there soon and i'm hoping someone really interesting is going to join.

that's all the major stuff for now... off to typing an essay (and making a card maybe? I haven't made one in a billion years!)

birthday!!

hiya!! so, yesterday was my amazing birthday... and i got a PSP 3000!!!!!!!!!!! i love it so much! I haven't put our code for internet in it yet though so i can't do everything yet. but today i am going to figure out how to put mp3s on it! (my mp3 player is horrible and the battery only lasts for 30 min...) And at my party we dyed eggs and watched Naruto: ninja clash in the land of snow (the movie). they didn't really appreciate it though since they aren't anime watchers. I can't belive my friends were making fun of naruto!! and they referrd to sauske as "the emo one"!! but Shroo and my other buddy... who is going to be called...Lush(!) sat through the whole thing w/o complaining or making stupid remarks.

Also, on saturday my brother got the PS3 slim! he's been saving his money forever. and he got a naruto game for it that is totally amazing! I pone at it and I have hardly any experience... i'm probably going to play it w/ him tonight.

Tommorrow is my first X country meet. I'm nervous. my practice time was 17:02 (for 2 miles), which i don't think is very competetive. and it's supposed to be 80F tomorrow too...uuuggg! plus, I caused a sort of disbuit between my running buddy, Panda, and rutabagga... and i feel really guilty!! I e-mail rutabagga but i don't think she checks her e-mail very often, and her phone doesn't work... I brought up something that was kinda taboo but i didn't know and now panda is like, "the world is spinning" cause she is so schocked by what i told her (the thing that was taboo!!) oops. now I'm guilty and I don't think ruttabagga is going to trust me anymore... and she's always so happy when i see her and i don't want her to be sad...!
this probably sounds really confusing b/c i'm being so vauge, but it would be really bad if i said what it was... I like to take out my stress and aggressions in the posts of this world...

anyway, back to my birthday: I got lots of manga from my mom!! 4 books! (is that a lot?) fullmoon v7, skip beat v4, & shugo chara v2 + v3. so happy!
