MOVED

shizu_bara @ livejournal.com

at least for now....

so, after a long break since my host screwed up on a few things automatedalice.net is back! for all post betweenmy last post here and this post, go to my live journal
though I am seriously thinking about switching back over to Live Journal. There are just so many thing I like about Live Journal and so many things that annoy me about blogger. Also I feel like people might be reading my post on Live Journal, were on automatedalice.net I know there are like.... 2 or 3 people who read it. any way, I know it's a hassle to have to go to the site and see if there are updates, were on livejournal you can just go to your friends page and see every ones updates.
but I would keep automatedalice.net since it doesn't cost me any extra money to keep it, only the registration fee, which isn't much at all.

and from the NaNoWriMo forum I present to you :

Feel the wrath of the bitter!

This person found this article of someone bashing NaNoWriMo and posted their response to it. It is pretty funny. ^_^
the person's response, not the lady. Well, I guess you could think of her as funny because she takes her self so seriously....

yay, so the switch is now done! I have switched over to site5.com hopefully they are as good as people say. I did find a lot of good reviews and only about 2 bad ones. So 2 outs many, many reviews isn't bad.
any way, I'm not saving like $80 a year on hosting now and getting more for my money.

oh yeah, I also changed over to the blogger comment system. Why? Because I don't feel like setting up the old one, that's the only real reason. My comment box doesn't match the layout anymore, but that's not really a big deal.
but what I really like is it has comment notification! So I'll now know when someone comments on my post ^_^

I was inspired by THIS to make the above. Of course it didn't turn out nearly as well. But that was just me experimenting with the Wee Doll thing. I'm probably going to try to make something more original next time. At least I'll try.... I have like no talent, but oh well.

on other things, last night me and mom saw The Brothers Grimm. I liked it ^_^
it was a fun movie. Of course that one guy with the wig sort of bugged me, especially when he switched sides since I really didn't see any reason for him to. But oh well, it's just a movie. Any thing can make sense in a movie.

today started off a little crappy. Pepper (my cat) was being her normal annoying self and demanding can food since the moment I woke, it's actually pretty warm right now AND I lost my glasses. So right now I'm squinting my eyes to see the screen. oh well, I was planning on getting a new pair any way. I found this cool place that sells those flexible glasses and I really, really want a pair! One of my biggest problems is bending my glasses, I do it all the time. And bent glasses are no fun at all. Plus they are super light, another bonus! I hate heavy glasses, they make my nose hurt. So a good pair of light but bendable glasses would be great! And I do wear my glasses. Mainly around the house, but when I feel to lazy to put my contacts in or if I don't really have enough time I'll wear my glasses.

-start rant-
the reason I like wearing contacts more out side isn't because of appearance really (it is part of it but not entirely) it's mainly comfort. Glasses hurt my nose and plus I have those circles around my eyes. They also just get annoying to wear some times. Though around the house I don't like wearing contacts since I can't sit and stare at something, especially as close as a screen, for a long period of time. They like get dried out or something. Also when I just put my contacts in I need to look at objects that aren't close, other wise every thing is a little blurry since my contacts hadn't settled yet.
-end rant-

above is what you call really bad luck. I was playing City of Heroes and I was low on health, so once I was able to see the door and click on it (my camera angel was screwed up since I was hovering) I left the mission. But apparently not in time since my character fell over dead the minute she got outside o_O"
good thing I had a whole bunch of awakens. Speaking of which, I need to buy more when ever I play City of Heroes again.

Last night I talked with Jeff and surfed the net looking for x-mas crafty things I could make. I found one thing that I thought would be really cute so I'm going to try to make it and see how it works out ^_^

and umm... I have a dentist appointment today, yay? I need to get a couple of fillings, but other wise my teeth are ok.
and later today me and mom are going to go see a movie ^_^
yay movie!

I decided to take a whole bunch of screenshots of tsuki. ok, there's 6. But do you know how hard it is to take a screenshot of an actual screen, especially when it wont stay still??

oh yeah, I forgot to post the links for the music. So here they are ^_^

My frog Mamoru died today ;_;

I have had Mamoru since High School. I got him at Target when they were still selling little frog and things there. Of course the conditions were bad there, so I'm glad I rescued poor little Mamoru.
She was a cute little frog and liked to go up to the glass when ever I rubbed my finger on the tank. She started off as a little frog but soon grew, she was at least an inch long.

R.I.P. Mamoru

it's my nintendog puppy tsuki! ^__^
what about Tomo? I got annoyed with him and tsuki didn't really seem to like him much, so I 'donated' him to the dog hotel.
any way, tsuki is so cute, she now knows a while bunch of tricks and actually chances the disc when I throw it AND she brings it back now.
what? When I first got her she couldn't do anything, she wouldn't even sit! When I told her to sit she would just looked at me blankly and walk away.

yes, I know, it's just a game.

so I've spent most of my day uploading CDs since I posted my CD list at album_love and got a tons of request. and I still have 7 more albums to load..... I'll post a link to the albums once I'm done uploading them. (though they will be a friend only post)

so other than uploading CDs all day what have I done? Nothing. Well, I ate a burrito and took a shower, but other wise nothing. Wow, I can't even blog about the kind of tea I had today since I didn't have tea.
my life is so boring and I'm guessing it's only going to be worse when I move out and start working. Actually I am trying to find a job now but I'm not having any luck what so ever. Every place I have applied at has never called me, what's new? and the only place I had an interview at rejected me, I wasn't 'happy' enough. I hate all this bull shit about how you have to be happy and out going to get a f****ing job. Even if I did go through college I doubt I would have any better chance of getting a job since I'm not like (should be read in a high pitch, annoying tone) "HI there, I'm Laura and I'm SO enthusiastic and just a bundle of joy!" ...... nor do I want to be like that.
even if I do get an interview at Starbucks I doubt they will hire me, I'm just not 'nice' enough for them.

NEW host and a new layout for gloomy-bear.net
everything isn't uploaded yet, but at least it's up and running.

this has got to be the fastest I have EVER switch host. Ever. The last few times I had to switch host it took a couple of DAYS and not hours.
I decided to try Site5 since there are a lot of great review out there and people in general seem happy with them.
I'm going to see how things go with gloomy-bear.net and if everything is ok then I will switch automatedalice.net over. Because in short :

what I got with the old host :
1GB for $14

what I get with the new host :
3GB for $7

now doesn't that make so much more sense?

I feel kind of bad switching host since I am really happy with my current host, but it just coast too much to stick with them. I mean it's true that the support at Hostradius is great and I have had no down time on any of my sites in the past 3 years that I have been hosted by them, but.... it's a space and money issue. 1GB for $14 OR 3GB for $7. Plus I keep running out of space on gloomy-bear.net! I have to delete old pictures to make room for new ones and I really don't like doing that. So if any thing it was time to get a new host for gloomy-bear.net since I wasn't going to pay another $2 a month more for only 200mb more of space. (That's what their rates are)

Today has been a whole bunch of nothing. I did get to talk with Jeff this morning, which was nice. But other wise I haven't done anything. I really, really wish I had my drivers license.... I would of had one a long time ago if that b*** hadn't failed me on my drivers test. Whatever, I wont go into that. (I still hate that b*** though)
if I did have my drivers license I could of gone some where today or tomorrow or the day after that. But no, instead I'm trapped here at my house. and to top it off our town bus sucks, so it's not like I can us the bus. I guess I could use a cab, but that would cost too much and be pointless any way.

I wish me and my friends were doing something this weekend...

Right now there are these kids (ok, teenagers) standing outside in front of my house talking and talking.... I can't understand a word they are saying, but they are irritating me. Why do they feel the need to stand in front of my house? Can't they stand in front of their house, were ever that is. Or eve on the corner, just not in front of my house.

whatever

I finally reserved rooms for Baycon, yay! and umm... I adopted a new puppy in nintendogs. Now I have two German Shepherds, a girl named Tsuki and a boy named Tomo ^_^
Tomo doesn't seem to be as retarded as tsuki was when I first adopted her o_O"

you know, I really, really wish I had a drivers license and a car. I was thinking it would be nice to go camping this weekend, but I have NO way to get to any camping site. I thought about camping in the backyard instead, but no.... it wouldn't be the same. and any way, the tent is in mom's car and mom took her car to the airport and it wont be back till Sunday. ;_;
at least if I had a car I could of gone to buy a new one. Actually if I had a car (and a license to go with it) the tent would of been in my car to begin with, along with a sleeping bag.

blah... maybe I'll go looking for crafting idea for x-mas gifts....

I'm thinking about switching host. I'm thinking about Site5. They look pretty good and I can get 3GB for $6.95, so about $7 AND I can have more than one domains on that plan. About 5, but I only own 2 domains so 5 is more than enough.
so I would be paying about $7 a month for both domain names, better than my current $14. I'll be saving $7 a month and get more space. (currently, between autoamtedalice.net and gloomy-bear.net I have about 1GB)
yeah, my current host is good, but I think it's about time I move on. They cost too much compared to other places these days. Now I just need to sort out some of the issues with gloomy-bear.net and everything will be in order. What I might do it switch gloomy-bear.net over first and then automatedalice.net later... dunno.....

how dose one write a letter to their host telling them that they are 'breaking up' with them?

So tonight wasn't so bad. I was feeling kinda tired so I put on Cirque Du Soleil - Solarium/Delirium disc two with the more dance like tracks. I then started to dance, which was a lot of fun actually. I can't dance in front of other people, but I enjoy it when I'm alone since I know no one is looking at me. (at least I hope not...)
it was sorta like a mini rave, but without the lights and drugs... ok, maybe it wasn't like a rave at all then.
After running out side and taking random pictures in the dark I made a burrito, which mom ate half of. So I made another burrito and now I am full.

speaking of music, I uploaded the Solarium/Delirium CD.
