Well, Thanksgiving is tomorrow. And one month until Christmas. I'm finally starting to feel better. I'm just VERY hungry lately. Cold aftermath...

We finally decided to have Thanksgiving at my grandfather's/Papaw's this year. My uncle decided to be jerk. Let's hope he cooperates for Christmas. And I'm starting to get that Italy temptation again, listening to this music. Man, I wish I was there...

Well, as it turns out, I'm still sick. I felt really congested on Friday, so once again, I didn't go to the center. And today, I stll feel really groggy and stuffy, with some leftover coughing and sneezing. And my head hurts slightly. But it's okay. As long as I'm better before Wednesday on Thanksgiving. There's plans to go to my grandfather's rather than my uncle's house this year. And I don't want to miss out or get anyone sick.

The good thing about all this is, I get to catch up on some lost and well-needed, much anticipated rest. Ever since I started going to that place, my schedule's been all messed up. I HATE getting up early! Not to mention my driver always smokes, which I do not. And that's illegal in a state vehicle.

But no sense in stressing about it now. It won't make me any better any faster and this is my time to relax. And when the time comes...well, we will see. For now, it's all behind me.

Stayed home today with what appears to be a bad headcold - sniffling, sneezing, watery runny nose, sore throat, earaches in both ears...It's a pain, but I'll live. I plan to make up for it on Friday. Then next week, I won't go to the center at all, due to crazy holiday staff schedules.

As for today, I've been in bed resting most of the day. I think I caught the cold my aunt and cousins had. Hopefully it will pass soon.

Well, my energy is finally starting to return. And as promised, I plan to do more main site updates. Starting next week, I'll have plenty of time since I'll be taking break from the center for Thanksgiving. And speaking of breaks, taking a break from my Battle City and Doma/Dragons - even some Memory - desktops for Capsule Monsters again. Though it's very tempting. I love Battle City saga ^^

But let's face it - I missed it. And Yami looks awesome in Duel Armor <3 Let alone anything! But enough of my yamoring. I'll update this more later. It's late. And I want a Root Beer.

Just watching a bit of YuGiOh before I go to bed (and taking a break from the Dragons/Doma saga as you can see). And I plan to work on more writings later today. Sorry things have been so slow. I've been so slow and sluggish since I started going to that activity center 2 months ago. I wish I didn't have to go. But I'll write more later. Right now, I need sleep. See ya.

Hey, guys... Lots for me to update on since my last post.

First off, Brit and I are friends again, second, I was recently made to join in an activity center 3 times a week and I did a couple more new desktops. Plus, YGO R english books were released. But for now I'll write more later. I'm so tired, I just want to fall asleep here.

Cute Tea Gardner/Neko-Chan - 9/27/09 - 9:34PM

Hey, guys... *sigh* I feel like such an idiot. Let me explain...

I was having a normal chat with my best friend Brittany/AtemuYami, just role-playing for our stories and chatting outside it and suddenly she brings up how she's in some college club where they go to Japan every summer. I grew incredibly jealous and angry - not because of the Japan topic, even though my dream was to go when I was 14 - but because she never told me.

And college had left a bad image in my head, causing me to call her some bullish names. What's worse - her boyfriend IMs me and starts calling me foul names: whore, fat weeboo, etc. That he'd make my life Hell online, to apologize and never speak to her again, etc. I tried to explain myself, but he refused to listen.  Finally, I just gave up, calling him a monster and to go to Hell.

*sighs* I sent my friend a heartwarming e-mail, telling her how I felt concerning the argument and how much her friendship meant to me. That she was my best friend - the greatest friend and online sister I'd ever had - and always will be. And I thought when she unblocked and IMed me again, we'd be friends again, but then...

AtemuYami is available (9:47:42 PM)
Freedom is your right. But what if we leave...and you're wrong?
AtemuYami (9:47:42 PM): (*in tears* oh sis...i got ur letter...*crying* i can't be mad at you long enough to hate you!!! im sor sorry!!! *sobbing* please forgive me...
Atemus Lioness (9:48:31 PM): (*frowns sadly, looking down*)
AtemuYami (9:50:25 PM): (i know we have our fights at times...but...whats another fight to split us apart...?
Atemus Lioness (9:52:49 PM): (Even so...your guard dog of a boyfriend doesn't want me speaking to you anymore...Calling me a whore, a fat weeboo, etc, saying he'd make my life hell through online....He basically threatened me into submission)
AtemuYami (9:53:06 PM): (i read your journal too...
Atemus Lioness (9:53:54 PM): (I'd show you the IMs if I'd saved them. But I don't. Not that it makes any difference...
AtemuYami (9:54:14 PM): (thats okay...he sent them to me...
Atemus Lioness (9:54:35 PM): (...And?)
AtemuYami (9:55:01 PM): he really did scared you...and im sorry...but after what you did to me...i don't think this will work out...
AtemuYami is offline (9:55:12 PM)

Your IM will be delivered when the buddy goes online

Now I feel more confused than ever. I thought she forgave me...And she only abandons me again. I forgive her, I just hope she forgives me one day. Tonight's my last night before I have to spend 3 days a week at an activity center, unable to be home until late afternoon. I was hoping we'll have made up by then, just like always, being such good friends the past 3 years. But I guess it's just wishful thinking. And I miss her...So very much...

Cute Tea Gardner/Neko-Chan - 9/18/09 - 1:58AM

Hey, guys.

Sorry I never updated the other day. I was just so sore. But I'll make up for that here.

It's been one week today since my neighbor Wanda Martin passed away from a stomach infection. She was in her 80s. And I didn't know her very well, but I will always remember her hoarse voice underneath ounces of kindness. And we always sat out and talked together when we felt up to it. I will certainly miss her.

And there is still no warrant for the neighbo who stole all my money: well over $2,000. Among other items. She'll be arrested though and her partner already has been. I certainly hope they get their justice for tricking and lying to me and taking advantage of my kindness to people. This is why I love animals more than I do humans. Sometimes, I wish I was one. A fox...a cat...or a wolf...

Hey, guys. Taking another break from my past desktops to use my current one and this one.


I have, at times, certain times of the day when I like to use them. The music one during the day and night night ones...well...at night! Of course, it varies.

I'll write more later. Right now, I have to get to bed. Although with these desktops tempting me to stay up, and wishing it were earlier, I really don't want to...

I really don't see what makes this day so special.

It's just like 6/6/06, when everyone thought the devil would rise back up from Hell, Y2K, etc. Silly superstitions.

Hey, guys. I finally found that pic I was looking for and made a desktop out of it to celebrate YuGiOh!'s return to TV yesterday.


Cool, isn't it? But don't worry. I still plan to use my Yami x Anzu Cartouche one for a long time. After all, the month just started! And then some. I also made a new wallpaper for Joey and added another chapter to my Angel story. I'll try to update after I eat. Right now, I am starving!

And here's bonus proof from my schedule (eastern time). Click to full view:


Isn't it great?! Back by popular demand! And to those who like 5Ds, you can still watch it on Cartoon Network and YouTube. I'm so glad it's back!!

Hey, guys. Long time, no see.

Been busy with more photos and some new wallpapers and desktops. But don't worry, my Pharaoh 201 desktop won't stay gone for long. I'm just giving it a breather to try out my newest one.

And I joined FooPets yesterday. You can see my pet on my main page ^^

So as you can see, nothing new going on just yet. Just gonna relax now with some YuGiOh! :) See ya soon!

Cute Tea Gardner/Neko-Chan - 8/23/09 - 11:47PM

Hey, guys. Had quite the scare yesterday.

I was just sitting here, minding my own business - roleplaying and whathaveyou - when suddenly I hear this guy outside going, "Hey, man, what are you doing?". A split second later I hear my doorknob jiggling and a knock. My heart starts racing a million miles an hour. Who knows who they were or what that was about, but thank goodness I had my door locked! For all we know, it could have been another madman!

That happened once before, a few years back when my family's hometown newspaper was still running. My aunt had called to warn me that there was a man with a gun outside my complex, because he was mad at his girlfriend over something. She'd heard it on the police scanner and called to tell me to keep my doors and windows locked. Let's hope this was nothing like that.

But of course, I was too shaken to look. It's one time I'm glad I live in this complex, where people I don't even know are willing to look out for me, and not my own house!

Hey, guys. Sorry I've not posted in what feels like an eternity. With people coming in to help me clean every day, it's hard to get enough quiet time in the morning. But I'm alive and well.

And I got the cutest little clock for my site blog now. Downloaded HERE. Seen HERE on a Squiby's site page. View it on the bottom of my blog. And as you can see, I changed my desktop again. I still love my Love Concern one, but I felt this one deserved another run after so long, among a few others.

Anyway, I'm just gonna relax now. Watch my Yu-Gi-Oh! movies and such. See ya later!

After a very long day of being on my feet and going places, I am exhausted. And I will be put on medicine for my anxiety. We've also drawn closer to the neighbor whole stole and forged my checks and my camera and DVDs.


I will definitely sleep well tonight.

Cute Tea Gardner/Neko-Chan - 8/9/09 - 10:30PM

I received my new camera recently and so far, I love it. Definitely worth the $100 spent on it.

And gradually, I am starting to feel better. But my aunt still wants to take me to the doctor tomorrow to get me medicine. It is gonna stink.

But I feel the real test of my emotions has only just begun...

Cute Tea Gardner/Neko-Chan - 7/31/09 - 6:11PM

I ordered my new camera a little while ago. So having new pics won't be as delayed as I thought. Maybe another week or so.

I'll write again when it arrives. Surprisingly, my aunt took losing my other camera better than I thought. She just said it was old and it was time for a new one and let me order it right away. My DVDs though are another story. My neighbor either still has the package or sold them. I'll find out soon hopefully since I'll need to go out this weekend for food anyhow.

But anyway, just thought I'd let you all know that. And I can't wait to try it out ^^

Cute Tea Gardner/Neko-Chan - 7/30/09 - 6:13PM

Starting to feel a little better, but I still need to get my stuff back.

Sorry for that emotional journal, I just had to get that off my chest. I'll be glad when the month is finally over. It's been nothing but heck for me...

Cute Tea Gardner/Neko-Chan - 7/16/09 - 1:57AM

Hey everyone...Things just keep getting worse for me. Now I'm having money problems.

A neighbor has been stealing money from my bank account. I admit, I gave her the blank checks, but I thought she was more trustworthy than that. I know, it was stupid and a stupid excuse, but with all that's happened, I have just been too emotionally distraught to think clearly.

I feel so ashamed of my mistake, I don't want to show my face anywhere to anyone. I just want to curl up in a hole and die.

My family wonders why I don't go out and socialize, this is precisely why. I trust people way too easily. But that's just my nature. I'm a good person and I can't help that. But now I've had it. I don't like people, I don't trust people. I like animals much more than I do human beings. So now my family has their answer. And now this is off my chest.

And in case you're wondered why I've not posted any new pictures lately, it's because that thieving neighbor also has my camera. I gave it to her to put batteries in it since I had none and she still hasn't returned it. Not that she can do anything with it. You need the cable to even get files off it and I have that. Still, my aunt gave that to me as a gift. And the last thing I need is another earful.

But I've been wanting to order a new one anyway. The Kodak EasyShare C180 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom and 2.4 inch LCD (Imperial Blue)

But, yeah, that's my life ATM. Now I'm just gonna curl up with some ice cream and my Yuugiou DVDs and see if that cheers me up some. And I won't blame you if you don't wish to talk to someone as stupid and emotional as me anymore.

Cute Tea Gardner/Neko-Chan - 7/16/09 - 12:50PM

Hey everyone...Regretably, I have some sad news this entry.

Not only had my Grandmother Roberta passed away the other night (no word on funeral arrangements yet), but...it seems I will have to give up one of my cats.

Don't get me wrong, I passed inspection the other day as always, and the manager said it was even cleaner than normal. But thanks to that agency inspection, anyone who has more than one pet can only keep one. And - within the next few weeks - find homes for the remainder. Even if it's mixed pets. Example being a cat and a dog.

So when you stop seeing pics of one of my cats here...you know why. Even as we speak, I can't stop crying and my heart hurts. I didn't ask what would happen if we didn't do it...but this just isn't fair. The manager could care less how many pets we have. But it's government rule. Believe me, I'm not the only one upset.

It was a good 6 years...and I'm going to miss him or her...

Hey, everyone. How was your 4th of July? Mine was boring. And I'm still bored somewhat, even though right now I'm watching my YGO DVDs. There is just no one to talk to. Anyway, tomorrow, I get to order more stuff. How much I can spend though, I'm not sure yet. We'll see. I also have a new blog layout in planning. So stay tuned.
