That sucks, St_Jons. I guess some people just don’t know how to say goodbye. And good luck with your job hunting!
TSS- I watched it a couple of days ago and thought it was pretty good, if a little long-winded. Hope you enjoy it!
Mood: Happy.
Reason: It’s been sunny the past few days, nice and warm, plus lessons are almost over for the year so I’m approaching freedom!
[b:2cwsa4yg]lizardgirl[/b:2cwsa4yg]- Yeah, he is a little cutey ! They do make great pets! (And, just to note somthing I said before that was incorrect, you feed them once every week, not once every two weeks. My bad
. That’s what we used to do, but it’s healthier to do it every week and give them each a few [about ten], insted of giving them a boatload once every two weeks.)
[b:2cwsa4yg]Phileas[/b:2cwsa4yg]- Sorry to hear about your friends. It’s sad when that happens. But, hey, you’ve always got your friends here at PP (including me
) ! Don’t worry. Things will get better soon enough!
[b:2cwsa4yg]Spirit of Adventure[/b:2cwsa4yg]- I’m so sorry to hear that. They, and you, are in my prayers.
Current Mood: Great ! But a little irritated…
Reason: Well, I’m slightly irritated because I’ve been putting together a Violet play list, and the songs I took will only work on iTunes . So even though I put them in the list, I can’t just pull it up and listen. Though I’m sure there’s a way, I just haven’t found it yet. Also, there were two song’s I couldn’t find: [b:2cwsa4yg]Believe in Myself by Karen Brake[/b:2cwsa4yg], and [b:2cwsa4yg]Once Upon a Time in New York City by Huey Lewis[/b:2cwsa4yg]. Anyone know where I can find these?
Adding to the irritation, the Love Bugs are back
. The name seems almost sarcastic…
But, on a happier note, my birthday’s coming up ! It looks like we’ll probably be going either bowling or rollerblading with two or three friends (and of course, Mom and Dad), then going to one of my favorite places to eat with them and my grandparents, and then walking around a mall. So it should be fun
! TS3 is also coming up! I’m getting a lot of projects done. School’s almost over. I got a bunch of songs on iTunes. Recently got to talk to some of my best friends. I’m drawing more and better. I recently read about Artists in my devotional and how God gives us all special talents and He delights in our work, so that made me feel good and helped me relax a little. Got to talk to my Papa tonight. So yeah, I’m floating on cloud nine right now
! I’ll be even happier if I can get the one item on my birthday list: an Incredibles book entitled [i:2cwsa4yg]Violet’s Incredible Diary[/i:2cwsa4yg]. I’ve been scoping it out for some time now. So hopefully we can get it
.
Mood: Freaked out
Reason: I was on another computer, when the internet crashed in the middle of a post I was about to submit. I then re-started the computer and was able to get back on to log out and transfer computers, but when I logged out, my name still read on the “Currently Online” section! I believe someone must have stolen my password!
JustSoWall-eCrazy- That’s SCARY!!! 
Mood: Happy(well, sortof, now I’m a little shocked about JustSoWall-eCrazy)
Reason: I finally got a haircut today. I look different. But it looks good; Ilike it. And I’m on high-speed! 
And I also changed my signature.
Modd: happy
Reason: Finished schoolwork for the day, and also ate a cup of gelato. I’ve also got to start working on a new promo sig for my upcoming chapter of Star Vacation.
Mood: Really frustrated, annoyed, fed up, etc… and anxious!!
Reason: Simply put: I am so done with this stupid laptop.
Honestly, I can’t even get on the thing for ten short minutes, and it gets too slow to use and way too hot to the touch to be comfortable using. By the time I’m done checking dA alone, it’s slower than molasses and I have trouble navigating to other places. (I usually check dA first because I have more stuff to go through than say, over here. Facebook is usually just a bunch of irrelevant news.) So part of the reason I haven’t been all that active recently is because I’ve been restricted in my time using the internet, all because of this dumb machine.
The lady I’m getting my ‘new’ laptop from hasn’t gotten all of her stuff off of it yet, and on top of that her mother is in the hospital in a coma after having a stroke, so I really don’t want to bug her about a stupid laptop, you know? 
But really, if you’re going to give someone a laptop, why don’t you wait to tell them you’re giving them one after you get it all de-personalized so the wait isn’t so agonizing?
Stupid thing to complain about, but I seriously want to chuck this computer out the window some days. I can’t do anything with you guys, like more frequent posting or even the PixarPlanet chatroom, without it jamming up and getting too hot to use all the time.
Another thing that really bothered me today was my mom told me she was planning to take our family downstate to go see TS3 when it comes out… in 3D… which is exciting… but honestly, as much as I love Pixar and the TS series, if I’m actually getting the chance to go downstate to see a movie in 3D, I would really, honestly prefer to see HtTYD again, but I was really afraid to tell my mom that because I know she won’t stand for seeing a move 4 times. I’m sorry, but I would give anything to see that movie again, and in 3D - yes, I’d even give up seeing TS3 in 3D. I dunno, that just really bothered me; I know I wouldn’t enjoy the experience half as much knowing I could have finally seen HtTYD in 3D. Grahhh, I’m really rambling about the dumbest things right now…
I’m really tired, so that’s just fueling my annoyance, I guess. Rule of thumb with me - don’t talk to me/bother me when I’m tired. You’ll see a side of me you never wished you’d seen, and I’m sorry I’m letting it out on all of you. I just really needed to get this stuff out. 
little chef
little_chef: I do feel really sorry for you and your laptop troubles. I will be praying that you can somehow get this fixed.
BTW, there are programs for bettering the performance of your PC. My mom tried two of them on her XP, and they do a good job. There’s only one downside to the program. For some reason, it connected with WordPerfect. We deleted the program because we don’t use it, but it still kept coming back, saying to find it in the directory. Maybe it’s because that XP is really old?
I wouldn’t know whether to recommend this or not. Maybe try “Advanced System Care”. It helps clean up files and detect Viruses and Spyware (if any are present). I don’t know if it will connect with programs in the program directory with yours, however. I don’t have WordPerfect in the Vista.
Also, I’ve been missing you a whole lot! 
Has anything else (besides this) been going on? And there’s a lot of threads I believe you should check out (I might PM them to you 
).
Current Mood: Good
Reason: Been on a writing streak 
. Kinda the reason I’ve been logging but not posting 
.
Violet Parr: Ooh… let’s see if you can get your long-awaited fanfic off the ground! Which is as far as I can say for my own fanfic, really (wink).
littel_chef: I would recommend you follow JSWeC’s advice and uninstall unnecessary programs and defrag your disk. Also use a portable vacuum/damp cleaning cloth to clean dust from the air vents - they sometimes cause the computer to overheat. A cheaper alternative to buying a new computer is to buy part upgrades. Get a geek friend/family member to install new RAM chips (that controls the multitasking bit) or if you’re brave get a new motherboard altogether.
As for HTTYD, yeah, given the choice, I would watch it again in 3D compared to Toy Story 3 (which as far as I can tell, doesn’t give a lot of opportunities to showcase 3D capabilities). In fact, I’m more excited for a HTTYD rewatch to seeing Toy Story 3 in theatres (Gasp! He’s a traitor! Get him! ). Okay, only if I get to see Dragons in Imax again. Otherwise, I’d settle for TS3 in 2D, please. 
Paging Mr Hyde…
Current Mood: Happy and excited
I’m so glad today! Today was the final day of shooting at my house, and after a long day, we finally ‘called it a wrap’! 
And I watched five awesome trailers yesterday and today. If I were to rank them in terms of ‘anticipation’:
I want to see all really (but only the first three in cinemas). It all depends on monetary and time constraints.
And tonight is Pixar Chat-O-Rama! Should be 11 pm my time, which means I’m less than 4 hours away… let’s see if anyone shows up. In the meantime, I’ll see if I can get some fanwork done to unwind.
Violet Parr- Ahh, I see. I guess that’s the only thing that’s put me off having my own pet lizards (well, aside from the cost…and the amount of space they take up…and not being able to look after them while I’m away…Okay, there are a lot of things that are stopping me from having my own lizards)- the fact that you have to feed them insects. I hate crickets and any other kinds of insects, so having to feed my lizards those things would not be a pleasant experience. I guess you get used to it, though.
Sounds like you’ve got some great birthday plans coming up!
You must be relieved that it’s all over, thedriveintheatre! I feel relieved for you!
Mood: Very happy.
Reasons: A good day at work, lovely hot weather, no more lessons…Yes, I have a few exams coming up, but they literally mean absolutely nothing so I’m just enjoying myself and relaxing for the time being.
little_chef- Aw, that’s sad. I agree: people shouldn’t give you their old laptop until they remove ALL their stuff. 
And I’m grumpy when I’m tired too. When I wake up… nobody better say a word to me or touch me or do anything to me. Pixarplanet has a chatroom!!! That’s the second thing I’ve discovered on here today! (I found a lightbulb! 
Atleast, I think it’s a lightbulb…looks sorta like a fly.)
Mood: Happy
Reason: Idk, I’m just happy to be on here I guess.
“I didn’t know we had a pool!”
Mood: Tired, but happy.
Reason: I just came home from a women’s event at my local chuch about a few hours ago. Now, I’m here typing. I also am working on a new digital painting (non-Pixar), and I made a new sig. I won’t wear it until I get my next chapter of Star Vacation here, however.
Mood: Happy
Reason: I just finished my latest MV. Now I’m just wating for a few siggys.
Seems like everyone is happy atm!
Mood: Mixed- happy, tired, irritated
Reason: This weekend has been great! The sun has not stopped shining and it’s been hot. Summer is on it’s way! However, being out in this weather has given me really bad sunburn, even with suncream, and now I’m pretty sore.
I’m currently typing this in bed and I woke up at 6:45, on a SUNDAY! So I’m very tired.
Just thought I’d enjoy and relax this weekend before I start studying in the hype of the exam season!
Mood: that “I’ve figure out how to work this thing!” feeling 
Reason: Learned how to use the pen tool in my Corel Paint Shop Pro. At first I thought it was messing up my work, but now I’ve got the hang of it. It saves color correction time as well. Now I don’t have to be constantly brushing behind the lineart to fill in the empty spaces between the lines and the color fill!
Mood: accomplished, happy, excited to start a new chapter in life
Reason: I feel accomplished cuz today I finished all the things I needed to do (except for an English essay, but I can’t do that till my teacher gives me back my outline ) I’m happy for a bunch of reasons. There’s only 3 freaking weeks of school left! It’s starting to feel like summer I got some new books to read yesterday. And I’m taking my drivers test on Tuesday for my license (well, I don’t get my “real” license till I’m 18 because of California driving laws) and today I cleaned out the car that I’ll drive around and stuff.
And I feel like I’m taking a new step in the story of my life. Like, I’ve got to start looking into colleges, trying to get a job, like, I’ve really grown up in the last year, it’s weird in a really cool way
Oh yeah, and I got my tickets to go see Green Day in Concert!! (If it’s not already known, I freaking LOVE Green Day) Guess where I’ll be on August 31
I guess I’m just in a really good mood, there’s only one special person out there who could make it perfect
HaHa!
Mood: Icky
Reason: My throat hurts, head hurts, and eyes hurt. I think I’m getting sick.(but I just can’t get sick! I CAN’T! I have a trip to go to next week! And I have to work tomorrow so I can earn the money to go!) It’s even hard to type. I feel like I’m gonna go to sleeeeep…
mo: huge sigh of relief You don’t know how good it is for me to hear that you’re doing better. <3 To know you’re in a good mood immediately puts me in a good mood.
I’ll be praying for your drivers test - you can do it!! I know you can!! I know what you mean about ‘not having’ a license for two years, but actually it’s what they call a ‘provisional’ license, which means you can still legally drive alone, but you’re restricted in a few areas; for instance, you can’t drive between the hours of 12AM-6AM, and there’s a few other things I can’t remember. (I accidentally broke that law one time… my parents wanted me to go uptown for a midnight coffee run, and all three of us forgot that I technically wasn’t allowed to drive after 12AM. I rolled into the coffee shop around 12:45. xDDD) Also, you aren’t allowed to drive while using any kind of mobile cellular or music device until either you’re 18 or your two years have passed. The laws might be a bit different for your state, but I’m pretty sure the first stipulation applies to most states. I could be wrong. xDD
Green Day concert??? That sounds exciting! I’m sure you’ll have a blasty-blast! (August 31 is my mom’s birthday, haha. )
Awww, I’m sorry I wasn’t there to talk or anything to make your day perfect. Honestly, if it weren’t for this stupid computer I’d be online a LOT more often. Just you wait until I get that new laptop!
Mood: Well, in a good mood now, I guess!
Reason: Just replying to his post put me in a good mood. <3 Yesterday I found myself going through a bunch of our MSN convos and PMs, as well as some of the pictures he’s sent me of himself, and just totally fell in love with mah WALL•E all over again. <3 I’m anxious to be able to talk with him sometime, it’s been forever since we’ve even gotten on MSN together!
I’ve been drawing a lot, too, and that always makes me feel good. Granted, right now it’s fueled by my insane love of HtTYD (resulting in buttloads of fanart ), but even drawing fanart has challenged me to try new artistic techniques, and I’ve slowly found myself getting better at human anatomy as well. Which is great because without a good idea of human anatomy, it’s really hard to draw fluid-looking pictures of, well, humans.
Still waiting on that laptop, and the sooner it gets here the better, because this stupid thing is pretty much toast. (TDIT and JSWeC, I’ve done everything I can to eliminate unnecessary programs on here, but there’s still a bunch of stuff that my mom and I don’t dare to delete cuz we’re not really sure about some of the programs, and whether or not we need them. I’ve even done spyware/adware checks and taken care of them. Once I get the new laptop, we’re moving all of the stuff off of this laptop and probably won’t use it again until we absolutely have to, since it’s on its last leg anyhow and there’ll be no need for it.)
Umm, wow. This is a really long post. So yeah, I’m having a good day right now, hopefully it doesn’t get ruined by anything cuz that usually seems to happen with me.
Oh yeah, we’re supposed to have a thunderstorm later today, and I’m kind of excited for that. First major thunderstorm of the year usually is a sign that summer is officially here! (And I really like thunderstorms… as long as my precious PC is unplugged. )
little chef
Mood: Happy.
Reason: Today is Star Wars anniversary. And, as we all know, Star Wars is one of the most important indirect reasons that lend to PIXAR’s creation.
