A Rare Occasion Dec. 2nd, 2008 @ 07:03 pm
It is a rare occasion indeed! When was the last time I made a post in this ridiculous thing?
In celebration of this rare occasion, I will tell you all of my life! =D

Well, for starters, the December Olivia is working on her sophomore year in Photography after switching it from last year's Biology/Graphic Design double major. I'm far better off for switching. Still, life is not all sunshine and happiness. On Saturday, I lost my job at Pick N Save. Not a huge loss overall because I absolutely hated it there, but I can't stand not working. If any of you happen to know of decent places that are hiring, hit me up!

My three-year anniversary with Jamie is coming up pretty soon! I'm sure we'll find somewhere fun to go, but it'll be a little bit more difficult now that I'm unemployed. =/

Before posting this, I took some time and looked back through a lot of past posts, some as far back as 2005. I can't believe how different things are! Old friends are getting married, I'm probably moving in a few months, people have graduated...it's weird. When I was 15/16, I had no idea what the following years would bring. I was so different from how I am now.

I guess that's enough of my ramblings for the time being. Perhaps I'll post again and perhaps not. I hope that everybody is well! =)

To others, you seem a bit dark, mysterious, and moody.
In truth, you are just a very unique person who doesn't care what others think.
And you really enjoy your offbeat interests and friends.
You've decided that life is about living for yourself - simple as that.

Absolutely surreal... Jun. 2nd, 2007 @ 09:42 pm
The time has come, my friends.
It's the monthly post.
Friday was officially my last day of high school and I'm graduating tomorrow.
It just felt so strange walking through the empty halls after exams. It suddenly hit me that Oh My Gosh, I'm never going to do this again.
Not to say that I won't ever visit the place, but I'll never walk those halls for the same reason.
There's the mandatory family DysFunction afterwards, but unfortunately there isn't going to be a party with friends.  Meh.
I've already gotten a really awesome early gift from my mom and dad.  A subscription to National Geographic. (geek... ^_^ )
I was just so excited when the first one came in the mail and I had no idea where it came from.  I haven't had a subscription since third grade or something.
By the way, I'm open to suggestions from any and every body for my birthday.
Obviously the *whatever it ends up being* isn't going to be until August, but I don't want to let it get away from me because I would really like to do something with you guys for my 18th.   =3
So yeah.   Even if we don't talk much, feel free.
Welp, that's all for now.


P.S.  I'm totally excited because I ordered KH2 on Thursday.  And it was less than $25 including shipping.  Yay!!! ^_~

Everywhere I go, there's always something to remind me... May. 7th, 2007 @ 06:51 pm
Welp...

I have most definitely ignored this thing for way too long.  Not to say that I have a whole lot to report on this front, but still.....
  • Prom was this weekend.  After a few wardrobe related hitches(thankfully not at Prom!), all went well.
  • I've been accepted into UW-Milwaukee.  I've decided to double major with Visual Arts(Graphic Design) and Biology.  I have my lovely, lovely placement testing from 8:30 to 3 on Wednesday.  >_<
  • Let's see....I'm moving into the mother-in-law apartment upstairs after graduation.  There's pretty much a full kitchen I got a table set and some dishes for an early graduation gift.  And the big screen (hells yes).  So, I'll be doing all of my own shopping and entertaining and such.
  • Next month is my last scheduled meeting with my counselor.  I'm a little scared, but I think I'm ready.  I feel so different.  The way that I look at and handle things is so changed.  I finally know what it's like to have a streak of happy days occasionally broken by a dull day instead of the other way around. 

I'm really going to try and update this more often!

Well, happy new year, everybody!
Since I'm up still at four in the morning and not partying, I figured I might as well do a litle catching up on the past year.
Really, not that much has happened that any of you reading this wouldn't know about, but I guess there are a couple of things.
  • In October, I spent about four days in a hospital.  After some evaluation, I was diagnosed with depression.  Now, I'm on an antidepressant for a while and I'm seeing a counselor.  As some of you may have noticed, I've been dealing with this for quite some time,  I couldn't remember what it felt like to be truly happy and stay that way for more than a couple of days.  Now, I'm the happiest I've ever been.   Things are most definitely looking up!   ^-^
  • I finally got a haircut!

 Since I'm kind of falling asleep now,if I think of anything else, I'll post it later today or something.
HAPPY NEW YEARS, ALL!!!  (<^_~)>
I love you all in the creepiest sort of way possible!

» I like to move it...
To follow the trend...









» Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight....
HALLOWEEN...
Yeah......
So far the costume suggestions are...
LEFTOVERS of the aluminum foil variety...(but not limited to the chinchilla shaped variety)...




However, I fear that I may become too much of an electrical conductor...which is always something to consider...


The only other suggestion is...
THE VIRGIN MARY



Yep...
So, any comments or suggestions are VERY welcome.

» It's peanut butter jelly time.....but not really.
I noticed that it's been quite some time since I posted to this thing, and so, I post. National Merit Thing Update: I didn't get selected to go on to the semi-finals, so I remain a "Commended Scholar." Hopefully, that means I'll get some scholarship money or something like. Senior year is going fairly well so far, as it should. There was a fair amount of displeasure expressed by my parents, so I'm retaking a few classes. The Homecoming pep rally and such were today which means that the dance is tomorrow night.
Therefore, if ANYBODY is on, PLEASE tell me suggestions for my hair. I couldn't find a picture, but my dress is a dark green/teal and there is a sheer halter-like neckline.
I suppose I shall cut this short for now because a shower is in order. I'd rather not go to the dance with my hair red, blue, and sparkly.

G'night for now.

~livi-kitty~

» I must be dreaming, or pinch me to waking....
So I guess I"m one of tose National Merit Scholars things...
I suppose it sounds rather ungrateful of me, but I don't really like it.  All of the stardards get raised even higher and I had a bit of a problem in the first place...
*sigh*
I guess if I end up being a finalist or something, the money will be really helpful, but since I dropped a couple percentiles, I'm not so sure that will be happening.
Eh.  I guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it in September.

Hm,  Prom's in a couple of weeks.  There wil be much gussying up.  Indeed there shall be.

I require the sleep now.  Goodnight.
» But I just had to look...

*sigh* Last night we put down my dog Pearl.  We got her when she was about 2 and we had her for about 10 years, so she lived a good long time.  They say she probably had internal bleeding of some sort.

Dude......
I'm in Phoenix...
I guess we're going to Taliesin West and some other stuff with aunt and uncle.
I'm gonna fall asleep now...
Those of you who are reading this think it's 11 something, when I'm actually writing it at 10 something.  Ha.
Arizonians like stucco.
A lot.
Going to Vegas eventually.

Today was day three of missing school because of mysterious illness.  Fun fun.
Or maybe fun2?
There was late night staying up with....myself.
And early morning tending with Jamie.
Thankfully, I'm feeling almost completely better now aside from a headache.
I've missed a bit to much school in two weeks.  If the days were a bit more spread out, it wouldn't be so bad, but I was just gone last week.
I have access to the homework for my afternoon classes(the more taxing ones) but it appears that I only have 8 problems to make up,so yay!
It's just been a rather weird week overall I'd say.
The family leaves for West next Friday.
I guess we're visiting relatives, Vegas, and Taliesin West amongst other things.
I suppose I should go and try and get some sleep so there's not death.
Yeah.

Day Two Of the Mysterious Sickness:

You Are a Schoolgirl!

You're not quite as wild as a "kogyaru", but with your short plaid skirt
and silly white socks, you're still a sexual fetish object.
You can usually be seen hanging out in the girly section of the video game places,
collecting photobooth stickers of you and your friends. You may not be as innocent as you look.
Did those vending machine panties once belong to you?

» Or am I origami folded up and just pretend, demented as the motives in your head?

Right then.
I haven't really updated in a while, so I guess I'll make a bit of an attempt here.  Though I probably won't put much of anything that's worth something to anyone.
Well, as you've probably deduced by the time of this post, I stayed home today.  Sick with some sort of something.  No idea what.  Just something that makes breathing in any manner very uncomfortable.
I really don't have much to say.  
Let's see...I've changed my college major of choice from architecture to graphic design.  There's really no call for architects in Japan anymore and graphic design comes to me a bit more easily anyway.
The slot for the second major is still open and I'm probably not going to throw a minor into the mix since I'll be busy enough with two majors and Japanese on the side.
I think I've lost any knack that I had for posting in this thing.  Sad.
*sigh*  I suppose I'll post again in another couple of weeks or something.
Oh yeah.  New icon. ^_^


» Your presence requested this evening. It's formal, top hat, white tie, and tails...
.................
Is it strange that reading through the Wisconsin Administrative Code and listening to Fred Astaire is making me long for summer even more than I already did?  There aren't any summer memories associated with either of them.  Then again, today in itself has just been wierd.  All sorts of deja vu's and feelins of "Oh my gosh! What doom is impending and when?" and the headache was back.
*sigh*  I wish I knew why I still get like this.  I have no reason to.  I'm the happiest I've ever been and I'm resolving all the stuff that I messed up before.  And it's not affecting my happiness or anything but it is a bit concerning.  Meh.

WHITE
WHITES are motivated by PEACE, seek independence

and require kindness. They resist

confrontation at all costs. (Feeling good is

more important than being good.) They are

typically quiet by nature, they process

things very deeply and objectively, and they

are by far the best listeners of all the

colors. They respect people who are kind, but

recoil from perceived hostility or verbal

battle.

WHITES need their quiet independence and refuse to

be controlled by others. WHITES want to do

things their own way, in their own time. They

ask little of others, and resent others

demanding much of them. WHITES are much

stronger than people think because they dont

reveal their feelings. WHITES are kind,

non-discriminate, patient and can be

indecisive, timid, and silently stubborn.

When you deal with a WHITE, be kind, accept

(and support) their individuality, and look

for nonverbal clues to their feelings.
