strange nights are coming
Mood:
 happy
Now Playing: British comedy on tv downstairs w/ laughter*
*that loud laughter would belong to my little brother he has this way of laughing so loud and so hard when he's watching something that it gets really hard to talk on the phone... interesting, isn't it? ^_^ Anyway, before I continue with this entry, I really wish to thank rgwalden on ebay for bidding on my items -I am very grateful to you (although I haven't met you, and even though I'd only be getting an ammount of money less than a dollar at this point)... *sniffs* yeah, I'm happy about that~ and so, other than that blessed event I have more things that I am thankful for now such as the fact that my brother was able to finish his essay [the subject was on failure- he chose to write about the movie "Legend" and his audience is our mom] today- actually, it has a few flaws but it is basically finished [possibly even "B" quality if you ask me, and I'm not trying to be biased either!] yes, I am thankful for what I have mentioned above (God really is so good~) as well as for... uh, this may sound silly but I am quite thankful that the time now is not the time that I thought it was. What I mean is that I have this odd way of thinking: sometimes I think weeks in advance literally and I get confused as to what will be going on during the weekend and so forth, so I was happy to learn from my little brother that Halloween is not going to occur tomorrow, but it will fall on Sunday of next week. *breathes a sigh of relief* time is so wonderful once you come to realize it such a quiet, lovely, precious thing too. **** hmm, am I the only one who thinks that having "Halloween" on a Sunday is weird? I mean... I have been alive for a few years now and been through this day before, but I can't ever remember having it fall on Sunday, the Lord's day- hmm, ah this will be interesting... I think I'd rather just attend my evening Mass as usual- I really love it over at my church, I even find it fun working in the kitchen and cooking for all the people in Life Teen at my parish. I wonder what you guys will be doing then, in a week from now (yes, I would like to know! I would even like to have some comments from you in which you tell me of your plans for Halloween- I want to know if you are going to hand out candy, or go to a party too!) -so yeah, tell me what you think~ ^-_-^ *meow* **** aside from those details, here's a brief look at where I've been online today: I visited Bri-chan, and then found some lovely links to art stores in her journal. Afterwards, I decided to look for some inexpensive Copic Markers and got some decent results- finally, I headed over to Count Your Sheep after checking out RPG World since I hadn't been looking through webcomics for some time now. Yep, and that's about it for this Daiko today thanks everyone for reading, and I hope that you don't mind [too much that I've been] writing lengthy entries as of late ^_^;; ah well... good night, be well~ -Daiko~ (support a Destitute Scholar!! )

and so, today...
Mood:
 incredulous
Now Playing: late night M*A*S*H* rerun on tv downstairs
Topic: bits and pieces
I didn't do that much except help my little brother get some of his Prealgebra homework done- at least, that's the main thing that comes to mind when I think of what's happened recently... at the moment, I'm thinking over how things have been in my house (literally) and about how I still want to get my room straightened up [more than it is now]. -it's a semi-quiet night over here, I say "semi-quiet" because all is not calm- there is activity, and stirrings.
hm, but that's enough on that for now...
****
I decided to check out a few things
like my favorite radio station
some current events here in Florida
and then I found the website for
afterwards, I headed over to DA,
visited a friend,
then I ended up taking a quiz after visiting celestialspirity's DA page, so here are my results:
You are Mousy version Nezumi
You are often playful, happy-go-lucky, care-free
type of person. You're the type that even the
world ends it wouldn't bother you a bit.
Your free nature lets you run freely in your mind.
You may be treated as childish sometimes but
that is actually the pure of your heart.
Which Form of Nezumi are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
...interesting. (yeesh, I still haven't found very many online quizzes that meet my standards of accuracy- I hate being limited by the small number of selections in these type of tests)
gah, these are just for entertainment, but it still bothers me that the answers to the questions aren't as diverse and specific as I would like- and it's not just me complaining about how things aren't the way that I want them to be (and that is not what I want to do, for I hate whining) it's just... a good test has good options, not merely ones that fit a certain mold. -sigh- oh well. (by the way, it would be nice if these test result images were somewhat smaller- I don't like how the screen gets streched out after I post these results and all...) -and that's enough on that.
****
...okay, so why have I posted my mood for this entry as "incredulous"?
Well, I have a few reasons (and yeah, the whole "quiz inaccuracy peeve" is one of them, but that's not one of my main reasons) for posting that-
it fits me today,
I don't like how I have to "baby" my younger brother when it comes to getting schoolwork or some other kind of work done.
-sigh-
I know that he has a learning disorder, and that it takes him awhile to understand some things (in some areas he's lightening fast though) and I know that patience is a virtue... but he tires me out with this. -sigh- I wish that he would be able to do the excellent work that I believe that he is capable of doing without my help- I do love helping people, but I would like to have some freedom... it's almost as if I'm stuck with him, and I don't enjoy that. ;_;''
...I don't wish to whine though
and I want to explain this better
but I think that this is the best way that I can say this: I'm tired.
...yeah.
but, I'll be okay
-just need to get through this somehow.
...
pray for me, won't you?
and please pray for Kabi, my dear younger brother- he so needs it
he asked me to pray that he would have increased self-cintrol, he is rather impulsive
yes, please pray for my family too.
****
I'm off to bed now, I'll see you soon...

what am I reading today?
Mood:
 cool
Now Playing: *rumbly Daiko tummy and thoughts*
(hm, as of late no comments have been left on my recent entries- should I take it to mean that no ones reading what I write here? ...hmm, even if I no longer have any audience, I'll continue to write- I remember, I started this blog for my own sake, so I wouldn't forget the events of days gone by [as well as interesting URLs ^_^;;...] so, the blog goes on!) anyhow, I went through some of my links (on my right sidebar) and I realized that I hadn't visited those places for quite a few days now due to me being preoccupied... I'm glad that I checked Boundless and OT though, I found some interesting articles: Boundless.orghttp://www.orthodoxytoday.org/index.shtml http://www.opinionjournal.com/la/?id=110005745 http://www.robgagnon.net/homoPresbyTodayArticle.htm **** On another note, I find myself singing snatches of " Kyrie Eleson" and I'm not sure of why, but I went to look the song up on Google.... I got these results: Kyrie ElesionKyrie Eleison (alternate spelling suggestion)but, I'm singing a variation of the song in which one of the verses is Kyrie, Kyrie Eleison~ and I'm not sure which one it is (I don't enjoy only having pieces of a song, I'd rather have the whole thing to sing and to remember in full.) ... hmm, in my original Google search I found an interesting blather entry under the title of "requiem"-so, the results of this have been quite interesting, I'll come back to this after I eat lunch (;-;'' and it's kind of late for me to do this- yikes! I'll be going offline now...) **** -ah! come to think of it, I haven't visited this oekaki board in awhile now. [/unfinished entry] -Daiko~ (left to see her friends and eat lunch!)

time to work! (but first...)
Mood:
 quizzical
Now Playing: the Daiko is poor and wants to get employed song!
Topic: resources
I found an interesting place for possible webhosting (for future reference) and it looks very promising (especially now since Netrulon.com is now dead.) Dickblick.coman online art supply store Click here free.coman excellent resource that lists various free webhosts the promising host I mentionedI can X hosting.com-the best deal I've ever seen for webhosting they will be a lifetime host for one payment! (I will probably do a more in-depth review of these guys in the future, just keep in mind that they're excellent- they'll even give you a free domain name if you choose them for hosting!) **** Anyways, aside from all that above, the Daiko is currently wondering how she could get some nice paid work... I've got an account over at e-bay, and I do have my lovely store but I'm still not recieving any income from either (not even my shop, and I've had that open for a few months now T-T *sniff*)... ah, and I don't think anyone seems to care for a commisssion from me either. -sigh- ...but that's okay while money is important, it isn't my ultimate goal- not at all it's just that this is a thing, a tool that lets me do things- in the end, money is really worthless but to live in this world, it can help me -sigh- Lord, may I never be obsessed with money
I know that you will take care of me,
that you told me not to worry
I'd rather be faithful and do as You say
rather than be richI would do well to remember this when I think of all the things that I'd like to have... -Daiko~ (pray for me... and my little brother- he needs help getting through college with having ADD and all...)

Hunter x Hunter yay!
Mood:
happy
Now Playing: "I can be your friend" VeggieTales song
Topic: bits and pieces
I have been marathoning Hunter x Hunter since Friday of last week- I've gotten through quite a bit of the series so far (I'm up to the point where the party splits up and they promise that they'll see each other in York city later) -I like this series, and earlier today, I found some things as I was wandering about online: Google search resultsHunter HQ.comthis place is a good-looking site done by a fan of the series, there's lots of information here and it gives a pretty good intro to this series (but if you are new to this, stay away from the spoliers please). a place to get Hunter x Hunter DVDs at a discounted price-that shoudl do it for now. :heart: -Daiko~ (pray for me, and that my younger brother will be able to get his college work done)

trepidation in my heart...
Mood:
 crushed out
Now Playing: FEAR!! (in my own heart- for others)
Topic: wondering where I stand
I really really hate it. -I do understand that fear is a natural reaction and emotion with regards to things, but I hate how unreasonable it can be, and how pervasive it is. I also dislike how stupid people can be at times with regard to obedience- I know that it is hard to do things that someone else wants you to do at times, but it can be helpful and make life much more easier to go through- why cause unnecessary stress for yourself? I really don't understand... from the above you may get the impression that appeasement appeals to me, but it does not. What I am against is the audacity that some individuals have in not fufilling reasonable requests. -yes, this makes me very angry! If your father calls for you, you should go to him- and if you disobey him, then he has the right to be upset- what need do we children have to unnecessarily upset our parents?! -they have enough stresses already... this sort of thing happens to often around me, and it irritates and frightens me... very, very much. ... Lord, save me from my fear -it is the faith-killer and I don't need my beliefs to die, I don't want that at all. **** Okay, it seems that though I posted this much earlier this morning (Eastern time) I still haven't been able to view this entry in my blog all day and it has been set to a public viewing- I don't understand this, but I wonder... is it this way because someone doesn't wish to hear this from me? I don't really know, but I do know that I'm feeling a bit better now than when I first wrote this... -I still need help though. -sigh- -Daiko~ (pray for me please!)

...I missed my own anniversary! o.0!!
Mood:
 bright
Now Playing: Born and Bred
(this is where you can find information on the show that I have listed in my "Now Playing" line above: http://www.BBC.co.UK/drama) ...yes, I am two days late in remembering my first blog-o-versary- I had started this very blog (my first) last year on October 10th, it's wonderful that I've kept this journal up for more than a year... I'm happy about that. ~^_^~ ... *gets back to work* (yeah, I've got things to do, but I'll be back to reminsisce and say more...) -Daiko~ (pray for me)
