alive through night and day

Back online! well, at least technically....*cough*

I'm at my parents' house right now and internet is wonky as hell... we don't know why yet, but it seems that our DSL modem decides to randomly reset itself all the time....-.-
Right now it's working, so there's hope that it will stay like this for a while. *crosses fingers*

But! That is why I missed alleyprowler's birthday yesterday. >_> so,

HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY, alleyprowler! I hope it was a good one! ^_^

On the computer front: It turned out that I had to completely reformat my computer. Everything we tried to fix it (like de-and reinstalling certain programs etc) seemed to make it worse >.<. And yes, that would be the new computer-.- But at least it works now without a problem. So far. *cough* Time will tell.

Anyway, I am - surprise, surprise *snerk* - really busy at the moment. Homework, studying Japanese, practicing the songs I'm singing in church next week, and trying to get Christmas cards and presents ready to send out.
Talking of Christmas cards, if you haven't done so yet, please go look at THIS POST, and see if there's anything that concerns you (*pointed look at lavenderfrost, yuukihikari, and tralla) or if you would like to receive a Christmas card and haven't given me your address yet.

Also, I feel the urge to make new icons...but I really don't have time for that. Woe... because even if I'm procrastinating on the Japanese study front, actually /doing/ something else makes me feel bad. -.-

On completely different note, this year's fall is more than wonderful. Nice weather almost every day, exceptionally warm and nice, and the colors are stunning! ^____^ Makes me happy.
