old

This tag is for all of my SUPER OLD Blog posts from both my original "free talk" section on my website (circa 1998-1999), and my blogger site A Day at the Races (1999-2008). I think there may also be some old livejournal mixed in here, too. This tag just delineates what is originally from those older blogs.

    when i punched holes in houseplants

    I’ve been so hyper all day… it’s the weather, I know it. Weird day, too- dad got home WAY early (he got off jury duty and came home) and we went to get lunch and went to Hobby Lobby, so that was unusual but nice. I also downloaded CuteFTP onto the new computer, which means I can now update from…

    when i refused to work

    my cowboy bebop spike figure had better come today, or I’m going to have to… uh… email that guy. It’s so nice out today, today’s high is going to be 71. And you expect me to work on a new design TODAY? Yeah, right, I’m going outside.

    when i lied about my height

    I just realised I grew more after high school. When I was sixteen and got my license, I was five-foot-two. I lied and said I was five-foot-four on it. I graduated when I was 17 and I probably actually was five-foot-four by then. I’m five-foot-six barefoot now. I was just thinking about it ’cause I was wearing my three-inch heel…

    when i got mad about bandwidth thieves

    People don’t realise that when they direct-link images off my server, that not only will I find out (all I have to do is look at my referrers), but I can delete that pic at anytime, or….. even better……. change it! The best one was this girl was using my cho chang adoption pic on some Singles page, with no…

    when i thought about doing a comic strip

    I’ve been considering doing a little SunDowner related comic strip… it’d probably be based on Piper’s original comic about her and her sister Ardyn, with the others characters rarely around or even never around. I think it could be fun. I don’t think I could manage to do one for every day of the week, but maybe Monday-Wednesday-Friday? Just short,…

    when i did some random stuff

    Memphis lost last night because of the refs. If they had called a foul on Marquette like they should have when Scooter went in for that layup, we might have held on. Those jerkwads!! Last night after the game we decided to go see Charlie’s Angels (FINALLY!) It was really good, I wouldn’t mind seeing it again! Our movie got…

    when i ran errands

    I just got back from messing around (otherwise known as, “running errands”). I had to go to to the bank to cash a check, get a couple of money orders, and also cash in about $140 worth of change *eye roll* I decided to leave a little early, around 9:30, so I could avoid the lunch rush. I got there…

    when i found an old club

    I found this today. It’s a yahoo! club I created a long time ago, where me, cath, s, ash and a used to hang out every once in a while. Hmm… I don’t think you’ll be able to access it…. Oh well. CATH IS GOING TO BE OUT OF SCHOOL IN EARLY MAY!! YES! Hehehe, I’ve been plotting something, and…

    when i wanted to use screentone

    yay! my dad’s going to teach me to use screentone! I mentioned to him today that someone had used zipotone (sp?) on their homework. He said that we had a whole stockpile of it up in the attic. When his company switched to computers, he got to take it all home. It’s been sitting up there, and now it’s mine,…

    when i went to alaska

    I never expected to get so many replies to my rant yesterday. I never expected *A* reply from it. I just wanted to go ahead and say a huge thank you to everybody who wrote me about it. And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming. I want to take another cruise. My grandparents took me on an Alaskan cruise…

    when I had a conspiracy theory about coke cans

    Many people don’t believe what I am about to tell you. They believe it’s a lie, that something like this could never happen. Well, my friends, I am here to tell you the truth. It all began during my Christmas break. I went to my grandmother’s house for the few weeks beforehand. My grandmother keeps a small refrigerator upstairs for…

    when i did my art challenge

    Lain, 22 minutes. Snape, 21 minutes. Wolfwood, 14 minutes. (2016 edit note: I don’t know why the Snape one is so small but it’s the only version I still have!) And because I beat my record with the Wolfwood pic, I retain my rights as Wolfwood no Miko.

    when i issued a challenge

    I challenge… me! Someone tell me a character to draw in the General forum of the BBS. Just something quick, like, you can say, Vash of Trigun. (and make sure it’s something I’m familiar ok?) As soon as I get *one* I’m going to reply to it, and then see how fast I can do it ^^ Yes, I’m rather…

    when i got mad

    hmm. I just answered most of my old mail (still got some newer letters to get to…), and had to answer a LOT of letters asking to use my pictures. To make it quick and painless I just cut and copied the same letter to everybody pretty much. When I give permission to people, I usually expect them to take,…

    when i got leapt over by a giant man

    We were talking about being on camera at basketball games. Well, once, me and Ashley went to see this basketball game. It was a while back, and it actually wasn’t a UofM Tiger game, but a “Memphis Flames” game. Or was it Memphis Fire? I can’t remember. Something like that. It was a semi-professional game with some pretty cool ex-Tigers…

    when my computer went insane

    I got a CardCaptor book at the mall! “As seen on the Kids WB!” I’ve never seen CardCaptor Sakura, in any form. I know nothing about it (well, I do now that I’ve read the book!)… so why’d I buy the book? STICKERS!!!!!!!!!! IT HAS STICKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m a sucker for stickers. Especially ones of cute things like Kero! I put…
