Reading: I have been obsessed with reading lately. Not just actual reading of articles and books, but with the act itself. I have been thinking over and over how I want to be the kind of person that says “OH YES, I AM A BOOKWORM, I READ THAT BOOK AND THAT BOOK AND THAT ONE TOO.” I actually do love reading, I just find it is so hard to concentrate on reading a book, unless it is right before I go to sleep. I have been re-evaluating my intelligence (kind of strange, I know) and I feel it may be my mother’s fault, but not so sure that it is a bad thing to blame her on. She always tells me that she wants me to read great books, including her favorites and some classics that she believes would strengthen my vocabulary and smarts overall. I am still reading Annette and Sylvie but I am almost finished because I have been trying really hard to concentrate and finish knowing the book, and its characters, inside out. I started The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, and I am going to start reading The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, and I am on a mission to finish reading these books before their due date at the library. I have been reading a lot of articles as well, and I found a Brothers Grimm website online and I have been reading their versions of the fairytale stories that I grew up thinking were too plain. Now that we are on the subject of articles though…..

Starting to Write Reviews: I am hopefully going to be writing reviews and articles for Bukisa.Com, and How-To articles for eHow.com because I really need to start some sort of income, even if its just a small wage based on what I write. Who knows, maybe I can become a freelance writer? I would love it :).

College: Classes start on Thursday, January 28th, 2010, and I am super excited because I have been doing NOTHING with myself. I ordered my Hamlet book for my Intro to Lit class, and my Precalculus package for the class. I am waiting to decide where I need to buy my Chemistry textbook, and I have yet to hear from my Intermediate Writing and Intro to Psych professors about what books I need to get. I looked at the syllabuses that have been posted on the college website so far, and wow I am going to be swamped. But I will still make the effort to post several times a week, along with continuing my 365 Pictures project.

365 Pictures Project: Okay here are my photos for Day 24 (top) and Day 25 (bottom):

Two New Poems: So I was writing a lot and I have come up with two poems. Don’t laugh at the titles and what I write so, heh.

A Pigeon and A Dove
Fluttering wings
Sounds of lips touching and tongue thrusts
Shades of gray essence of white
Vision of pure day as blindness of dark night
The pigeon is hated and the dove is loved
Horrible omen and holy symbol
So much to relate
So much to set apart
The traits of birds
They are cousins
They are beautiful and ugly
A pigeon and a dove
The hideous twin and the handsome one.

Old Paper
A sudden touch would break me
Crumpled and old I am
Rough grainy feel
With a rustic tan
Makes me look ancient

The slightest pulling
Would rip me in half
The feeling is grueling
Stop your “Oh whoops” laugh
I could slice your adjacent

One slip of my edge sends blood rushing
From out your skin
Who’s laughing now?
Me and your kin

Soon I will be turned into a bag
Or maybe re-used for another book
Maybe I will be a rag
To clean the shelves or a tiny nook
I am dying no matter what

A sudden touch would break me
Crumpled and old I am
Rough grainy feel
With a rustic tan
Makes me look ancient

Hosting: I opened my hosting page and I haven’t put up hosting packages yet, but I am accepting sub-domain applications if anyone wishes to apply =].

Anyways, I have posted my Love Hina layout for visitors because I didn’t want it as my layout and I turned off theme switching, so there would be no point. Enjoy!

Amour et fusées ♥

Day 16 of 365 =]

I received my awesome minidress and batwing sleeve top from Yesstyle.com today and it came with a free measuring tape. My measurements used to be 36-27-36 and now I am 32-24-32. YAY WEIGHT LOSS!! =D
[/edit]
I have my own domain again I am very very glad =]].

I actually purchased a master reseller at NoLimitsHost and it comes with a free domain if you pay $50 for the whole year. I am glad I found this deal because I will be opening up a site where I can sell shared hosting, as well as resellers =DDD.

My LadyImpulse.wordpress.com and Ladyoohlala.comxa.com will be closed shortly after I am finished getting everyone to visit me here! I know I keep saying I will be putting up content but it is because I keep switching websites and importing/tweaking everything to fit the new sites , so I just have no time just yet. I am probably going to open up a subdomain or domain on my reseller account for all the content I would love to give the visitors, but my movie reviews (book reviews will be added as well) page will still be here and hopefully I can add my reviews soon, I am just cluttered with too many projects at once haha.

I know I said that I would add my Day 14 photo yesterday but I slept over my boyfriend’s so that just didn’t work haha. I uploaded them now to my flickr account so here are the two photos (Day 14, and Day 15):


Day 14 is supposed to represent playing billiards haha. That was my hope for the day and when me and my lovely boyfriend met up to hang out we went to play pool =DD. Day 15 – It’s my 99 cent Led Zeppelin tee and my new ripped skinny jeans. This has two significant meanings:

1. I have worn this outfit yesterday and today because I had an unplanned sleepover at the boyfriend’s.
2. And I have lost a bunch of weight, my size 6 skinny jeans are very loose on me, so that shows I lost a size or maybe two. One of my New Years resolutions/goals was to lose weight =].

Anyways, I am going to go work on my content, and comment people back. Hopefully I’ll make some new things =].

Avec l’Amour
Lady Ooh LaLa

Just last night I was talking to my boyfriend, and I was very very very angry, but not at him, just at the whole world. I haven’t been that angry in about three years from when one of my very good friends died and I didn’t know whether to be upset that he was gone, or to be angry because of how he died, and why I wasn’t invited to his funeral. Last night my angry way of speaking turned into me sobbing, and almost breaking my phone with how much of my salty tears got inside the keyboard. Lately, if anything starts to frustrate me or I start thinking about a situation that gets me mad, I can’t help but start to tear up and my face starts feeling hot. I really don’t know what is wrong with me and my boyfriend suggested that maybe I should go to a doctor. My mom doesn’t want me getting prescribed any anti-depressants and anti-anxiety pills because the first time I had been prescribed them was in fourth grade and my mood swings got even worse. The only thing was that during that time I wouldn’t cry, I would just get very angry really fast at everything, and then all of a sudden turn into a calm and happy person. Those pills, I feel, didn’t do anything for me but mess up my emotional stability.
I have to do a few things to settle this, and they are written in the order of which I will do them:

1. Take a pregnancy test(If positive, then to the next step; if negative go to the fourth step).
2. Go to a doctor to confirm and talk it over with my boyfriend and mother on what I should do.
3. Most likely schedule an abortion or pay for the abortion pill.
4. Go on with my life and wait for my period.
5. Go to a doctor/shrink about my emotional instability.
6. If that doesn’t help, just try to deal with everything by continuing to do what I love best: school, photography, guitar, web design and graphic design.

Now onto greener pastures, I have posted my Day 2 Picture of my 365 Pictures Project at my Fotolog(CLICK HERE) but I’ll post the second picture here as well:

I took this picture because these are the roses my boyfriend gave to me for New Years and all but one are now dead. This one rose won’t die and it makes me happy because I feel it was the most beautiful rose of the bunch.

I learned how to write a wordpress theme from scratch last night from this tutorial(CLICK HERE). And I will be working on wordpress themes for my visitors, as well as regular iframe layouts or puse XHTML layouts. I’m just about done practicing a certain song on the guitar so I will be posting my guitar playing and vocals as well. I saw a few movies on StageVu.com, most of them old, and I’m going to write reviews on them because I feel they deserve the attention. I have also seen a few movies in theatres with my boyfriend and my mom so I will be posting reviews for them as well.

Anyways I’m going to go return comments and possibly make a wordpress theme for my future domain =].

Candid and Emotional,

Before getting into my fabulous idea, I would like to say I hope all of you had a great holiday, and I hope everyone is safe.

Now, onto my great idea: this is probably going to seem lame because great and fabulous are not two adjectives that would probably have been attributed to this idea if I say it out loud, or if you just read it here and now, but I think it is sort of smart. Considering I am limited to pre-made wordpress themes that come along with a free blog, as well as the limitation of editing CSS and header images for certain layouts, I feel very restricted and unable to express my creativity and knowledge on web and graphic design. I want to learn more and more about the codes that bring a layout, or in this case a wordpress theme, to life, as well as grow in the ability to create masterpieces with photoshop. Seeing that I cannot show my creativity by the limitations a free blog brings, I may be considering renewing my hosted space from my domain, but changing the name to something more secretive so that my identity stays hidden. As much as I hate paying for space, as well as a domain name, I feel I would be happier with the freedom that paid space brings.

As less stressful as it is to just not worry about coding that works, and a graphic that plays well with what I want to show the world wide web, I still want to use my creative juices for this world, and not forget what I know.

I have owned a few domains for the past maybe, five years? And every time I would get a new domain, some time would have passed in between each domain, and I would forget a lot that I know. I don’t want that to ever happen again because, instead of renewing and reminding myself how certain codes work, and how certain images can be made, I want to learn even more than I can remember.

I don’t want to float on my already taught knowledge, I want to swim to greater pastures of html, php, c++, and graphic bedazzling. <–Corny eh? Yeah I don’t know why I just wrote that in such a cliche and metaphorical way, but it explains greatly how I feel.

Anyways, right now I am going to comment people back, and then go to sleep. It’s already 4am where I live so I better hurry because I cannot deprive myself from sleep on vacation, that is just wrong.

Night all! (Good morning in other time zones! =])

グッドナイト！
Lady Impulse

P.S.
I’m getting a lot better at my instrument so I’ll be posting audio clips of me playing it really soon and until I decide whether or not renew web space and buy a new domain, I will be using my creative juices by making you guys wordpress themes, and I will gladly do them by request if need be. =]
