My ten long days at work are over. I have to day off tomorrow, which me and mom are going to use hanging out together. We're going to continue watching RahXephon, play Karaoke Revolution, watch Hancock, go out for lunch, and do other girly things. Should be fun.

Besides that, my parents and I just a few hours ago finished Angel. I love the last episode, but I still agree that the ending is much too abrupt. I can always work off the comics, but they just don't seem canon to me, even though Joss Whedon wrote them. Same for Buffy, although I am working through the comics when I am in Chapters. I won't pay for them, but I will read them. Speaking of Angel, Fred dying totally makes me ball my eyes out every freaking time... It's just so sad (and I hope that wasn't a total spoiler or anything, but I'm pretty sure you all have seen Angel before). Fred hardly got a chance to live her life, spending five years crazy in another dimension, and she just started in a relationship with Wesley, who loved her for so long, and she dies. Not only does she die, but her soul disappears completely. Everything is gone. She doesn't go anywhere (wherever the dead go in the Buffyverse), and when Wesley dies later (another horribly sad scene), he's not going to see her on the other side, because she's not there. She's nothing. It's very depressing, whether you like the character or not. As much as I love Illyria (she just freaking ace), that fate for Fred really sucks. She worked so hard and got nothing for it. Probably the reason that scene make me so sad is that it happens to a lot of people (granted, not in exactly the same way). Plus, Wesley reacting to it, trying to comfort her and then finally breaking down completely, is really hard to watch... amazing acting and writing, dear God.

Another thing I watched recently was Slumdog Millionaire, which I have to say was a pretty awesome movie. I've been thinking about it almost constantly since watching it. Not a lot of movies have that effect on me. Well, okay, I do tend to dwell on things a little too much, looking for themes and nuances and meaning (FMA, anyone?). But slumdog millionaire was really good. Great acting, great direction, amazing music, beautiful (if a little farfetched) love story, and a good look at life in India's slums without feeling like you are getting your face rubbed in it. It's not a Very Important Movie or anything, it's realistic. I highly suggest you all watch it if you can. you may not like it, but it might make you think, even weeks later.

Welp, that's about all going on in my life right now. Still watching DBZ, still studying, still working. I want to go see Harry Potter next Wednesday, perhaps with a person whose name rhymes with "late", as I have the day off. We'll see. By then the crowds will have died down a little. Talk to you guys later.

Hey guys. I've been working everyday since last Tuesday. I got called in on Saturday. Today I found out that I won't have a day off until Friday. I'm going to die. So yeah, I may be absent a little in the near future.

I'm also really tired and eating cold pizza. Thinking about watching DBZ, or maybe studying. I should do the second, but I think a combo is in order.

Love you guys. I'll be more energetic next entry.

Nothing so new going on, currently. I just wanted to give you guys an update.

Work is going better. I'm actually speeding up with the room-cleaning. I'm getting to know people and I'm actually kind of enjoying it, as much as you can enjoy cleaning up other people's mess. There's been some drama (one girl got fired for stealing), but it's still okay. I don't think I can see myself doing it for years on end, but it's okay.

Besides that, I'm currently drinking tea, which is tasty stuff. Just normal Orange Pekoe, but pretty good. I also went to Kate's house the other day, which was just swell. We played rock band, ate sandwiches and drank tea, and watched some Simpsons. It was great. I also went shopping last week. I got the most current Bleach (27). and FMA up to 10. I can't really wait for FMA Brotherhood to get to where they are in the manga :D. I got a book as well called the Devil's Diaries, which is a pretty funny little book. I also wanted to get another plant and name it Sylvia Louise, but I couldn't find any that I liked or that would live in my room. My room is dark, so they have to be partial sun plants. So yeah, I guess I'll just have to wait to find Terrence a little friend.

Besides that, there's not much else going on. My exams are almost in a month. I've received a message from the Law Society giving my instructions for the exam about where to go, what I can bring, and what time to be there. Hopefully it goes well. I'm going to do some more studying later.

Love you guys. A lot. Hope things are going well.

Hey guys. I've been gone for a little (not as long as my infamous month-long absences, but a little), so I figured I should post on all the stuff that's happened recently.

First, the party was great, except for a few hitches that we won't mention. Kate and Raine were there, so that is always fun. They got me a BEAUTIFUL Bleach art book, that I keep flipping through because it is just that lovely. They also made me a nice card, with illustrations by the enigmatic and charming Julie, which is now in my photo album. It rained most of the day, but it was pretty nice out besides. Kate and Raine and I spent a good deal of time just sitting outside chatting. There was cake, and presents for the grads. I made a load of money from people (I still can't believe how much). Some I am going to spend and some I am going to save, like a responsible girl.

I really wanted to see Raine off on Monday, and comfort Kate, but I got called into work that morning. I would have refused but for a few reasons: 1. It was a Monday so I knew it would be freaking nuts at work and they would need the extra body 2. They called me three times before I caught the phone 3. They called me off a couple of weeks ago, and 4. I already had two days off this week. So I went, worked until 6:30 pm (from 8:45 am mind you), and apologized profusely to Raine and Kate, who were darlings and said they forgave me. The next day I was in laundry all day, which was alright, different from doing rooms, but the day seems to drag a bit doing that. Plus, I don't think I'll have any finger tips left soon, or they will be hard as rock. Attractive...

After work on Tuesday (aka, yesterday), I went to Nicki's and we went out for dinner at Kelsey's, which was really fun. I was exhausted, so I was being extra random and slurring my words a little, but that was okay XD. We watched four episodes of FMA, and then I THINK Nicki played the Sims 2, but I'm not sure because I fell asleep. What a great house guest I am. This morning we watched some Escaflowne, and then I had to go because we have people coming over today, and Nicki had a music student (she teaches flute).

Things coming up. Shopping tomorrow with Mom and Dad. I want some more FMA and Bleach manga, and maybe buy some other books (you should see my book shelf, it is bursting, and that is NOT an exaggeration. Thank God I reread), and I need some frames for the prints I bought at AN. I also need to wash my car and make an appointment to see a girl at Scotiabank about opening some other accounts for saving money. My paralegal licensing exam is approaching fast, so I really need to buckle down and prepare. I've gotten through my materials twice, so now I think I'll hit some of the example questions and see how I do. Plus I need to find out how much licensing fees are a year as well as finding out how to avoid having liability insurance until I start practicing. Yeah. getting a little nervous about that, but not overly. It's open-book/multiple choice for crying out loud.

Anyway, that's my current life in a nutshell. I'm on Facebook now (I know, I sold out), look me up if you haven't already. Love you, flist!

The party is tomorrow at 2 pm. I'm very excited :D. I can't wait to see everybody, especially Kate and Raine again. I need to take lots and lots of pictures.

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is now back in my good books after seeming like a mediocre copy of the original anime. Episodes 8 and 9 were quite good, and when Greed and Ling show up, yayz!

Hoping to see Nicki this week. I have Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday off. Work's going good.

I should make dinner. Mom and Dadare out seeing Cindy and Tony. I have to do dishes and cat boxes. Our silly cat needs two, the spoiled brat.

EDIT: Oh, Kate, Episode 10 is when IT happens. Still freaking hard to watch.

Hey guys. I just tried some cottage cheese that I think had gone bad before its expiration date. Don't you hate when that happens?

Anyway, not much going on here. I have to work today tomorrow and Saturday, and I have Sunday off for the party. I wish all my flist could come, but that would be a bit hard to manage on such shorty notice. At least you guys will be there in spirit.

Going out with Kate and Raine the other day was great. We went shopping, sat outside and read manga, went back to Kate's house and watched Twilight (XD), and all the while talked about things and fangirled. My favourite part for the day? Sitting in Chapters being nerds. That was awesome.

I bought a lot of stuff because I had birthday money to spend, including a random little game called Rhapsody for the DS, Wall-E, 6 books of manga (Bleach and FMA), candy (which is all gone now), and a crazy little bag from Toys R Us. I also got a SP the other day, because I couldn't that day.

Things I'm watching: RahXephon, with mom; finishing Angel Season 4 so I can give it to Kate and Paul, Dragon Ball Z Uncut (don't judge), Chuck, with mom, and FMA Brotherhood (because stupid Funimation finally fixed their problem. The last I would probably watch just for the opening and ending, plus Greed should be popping up soon :D.

I got to see my cousin Raye's grad from highschool last night. She won two awards with honours, highest marks in some classses, and distinction (which only 14 other people got). I was so proud for what seems to be the only "well-adjusted" female in our family for this generation (me and Kate are both crazy and anti-social XD).

Anyway, the time is coming for me to hit the old dusty trail to Belleville for my daily shift. See ya guys.

I'm working. And it's f-ing exhausting. I'm going to go to bed soon, but I wanna do this first!

Wow, that was harder than I thought. I couldn't say a few because none of you guys have seen them, which I'm sure was a challenge for you guys too.

Not a lot going on here. Like I said, I'm working. It's hard. But I'm making money, which is good. I took the Grad party off, so I will be there, Kate and Paul and Raine. Love to all my flist.

My grad was today. It was nice seeing everyone. I got my diploma, and I was on the Dean's List. So that was cool. It was fun, until the head ache started. A pounding one. And it was hot. And my feet hurt from my shoes so much I couldn't walk. But then we went out for Japanese food. So that made it better.

Still loving Escaflowne. Also watching fourth season of Angel. It's okay, but the best episode is next and then it's all down hill. Season 5 makes up for it though. Also ordered .hack//sign today, yay!

I got a job, cleaning rooms at the new holiday inn in Belleville. I start tomorrow. Money will be nice.

Also, the natives are restless. This is only going to piss people off, I have to say. You non-local guys may or may not read this, but it's interesting, and Kate/Alysson know what it is about.

Srsly, you guys need to get on to fixing your damn website. I wanna watch FMA dammit! You've been down for maintenance for like a week. HOP TO IT!!!!

*rageragerage*

Hi, guys! I had my interview today. Went great, and they said they would call me tonight to let me know if I had got the job. They said I might work as early as tomorrow. Except it's 10:39 pm now and they haven't called... I don't think I'm working tomorrow. I really hope my references panned out, although I dunno why they wouldn't... Maybe they'll call tomorrow...

Anyway, this is directed towards Kate and Paul and Raine. The party on the 28th starts at 2 pm. Dinner is at 4 pm. If you guys could get a ride to Aunt Rob's that would be perfect, cuz then I could drive you home. Oh, and if you guys happen to have any lawn chairs, please bring them for yourselves. If I am working (PLEASE GOD/GODDESS/OTHER OMNIPOTENT ENTITY!!!!) I'm going to try and get that day off. I shouldn't have any trouble, because the only other days I'll want off are in August.

Besides that, life has been quiet. Studying for exams, doing chores to help mom, watching Escaflowne (love it so! Such a weird mix of shojo and shonen with seemingly stolen plots elements all over except that it's an older anime that creates something really cool and fresh. Very original art style too. I'm so glad I bought it!!), watching Buffy (finished season 7, I still get excited at the ending, now on to Angel), drawing, and trying to get to the gym. That's about all.

Love you guys.

Hey guys, thanks for all your birthday wishes, they mean a lot!! Today was great, quiet, but great. In Kate fashion, I will put my joy in a bulleted list format.

• Movies: Yesterday we rented movies, and we watched the Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which was interesting, and Wall-E, which was frigging amazing. Honestly, I loved that movie, even though all the fat people scared me a little. Made me a bit self-conscious, I must say... Great movie, though. Button was interesting and weird, but it was very long, and everyone (pretty much) spoke with a really irritating southern accent. It got on my nerves, I must say. Still, worth a watch.

• Books: I finished the Robber Bride, which I must say was very different from the CBC movie version of it. The book was great, although talk about messed up childhoods. I felt bad for all of the women. I cheered a little when the bitch bit it, I must admit. Now I'm reading the Hound of the Baskervilles, which is a surprisingly entertaining story considering how old it is. Sherlock Holmes ftw.

• Shows: I have now finished watching Digimon (the first three seasons) and Cybersix (a shame that was only 13 episodes til they cancelled it, amazingly animated and cool 90s show). My parents and I are over half way done Season 7 of Buffy, Buffy just went to see the Shadow Men and got all bitchy at the potentials because that girl killed herself. I can't help but agree with her, though, she's being the general.

• Birthday: Well, they didn't listen to me, but they were more conservative than they usually are. Mom and Dad bought me a plant for my room (just like Raine!! lol), a coffee crisp bar (joke present, but hey, those things are good), and the entire series of Escaflowne on DVD (one of the ones I was planning on buying!!!). I'm so happy!!! Now I just need .hack//sign and a gameboy SP, lol. Anyway, I had a good bday, we went out for dinner at JJs, which isn't even a football field away from my house, and then came back home and had some ice cream cake. I'm soo full right now, bloated even. I may have to suck it up and go to the gym tomorrow....

• Interview: If this one pulls through (it's next Monday at 2:30), I'm going to be a cleaning lady again. Well, at least I have experience... Still, I'm optimistic. Any job is a job.

• Pictures: Yayyyyz!

Meet Terrence Augustus Walsh. He's a Cycad, the oldest known plant, according to wiki. He looks like a palm, but he's actually a coniferous (and prickly). Dinosaurs used to eat these things, people! He's apparently very hardy, so even my black thumb shouldn't be able to kill him. I hope I don't, I love him to bits. Love at first sight, flist!



My ice-cream cake. The writing was done my me, because mom thought she would mess it up. I didn't do much better, though :P. That thing beside "Birthday" is supposed to be a flower... fail.



Escaflowne!!! Wheee! I really hope it's as good as I remember from when I was little. Plus, this time it'll be in Japanese. I'm so happeh!

I love you guys so much!!! I think I came on lj when I was sixteen, and now I am 20. Wow. Hard to believe, eh?

Well, the two places I had the interviews with called and said they wouldn't be hiring me. In the nicest possible way of course. They wished me luck in my future job search, which will begin again next Monday. I'm not leaving before then because I don't want to leave mom all alone. She's doing okay, but she can't move that far or even bend over to climb stairs that easily, so I don't want to go away until she's healed up some more. That means no gym either, but meh.

I'm not really that upset about it. Sure, I REALLY wanted that law office job, but I can understand that they wanted to hire someone with more skills/self confidence. I just don't know how I could have prepared more. Dad was more upset than me. He said that they were the losing side because I'm a good and hard worker, and they were missing out. I love my Dad, he knows just what to say :D. I'm not looking forward to job hunting again, I can see why unemployed people just want to give up, and I haven't even been looking that long. Well, anyways, that's next week. I have to take care of mom, I have a grad party tomorrow (dad's going to be here with mom), and various chores to do.

My birthday is next weekend. The big two-oh. I'm not having anyone over, because I'm having my big grad party on the 28th with family, including Kate and Paul. Nope, just going to be me and mom and dad going out for dinner. Love you guys, hope you are all doing well.

Nothing much going on here, guys. Mom went for her routine surgery and is home now, doing fine. I've been trying to do as much as I can around the house to help her out, dishes, laundry etc.

Haven't heard from any jobs, yet. Not a great sign, but hey, I'll live. My exam materials that I am actually using for my licensing exam are coming soon, so I'll have exciting things to read *sarcasm*. Speaking of reading, I just finished the Uglies today. Interesting book, kind of Orwellian, except not as bleak. Good read though, and quick, as it's for young adults. It's a trilogy so I kind of need to find the others, because it's intriguing so far. I'm also working my way through Margaret Atwood's the Robber Bride.

That about it on my end. You guys may have noticed my journal page/icons have changed. I had the others for so long, I decided they needed revamping. Talk toy you guys later, hope things are going okay.

Hey, guys, sorry for the emo post before. I was feeling kind of down that day. I dunno what's gonna happen with my parents, but whatever does, I just want them to be happy. We have really good times together when Dad isn't working (he really hates his job, and he gets really touchy and tense when he;s working), and I'm luckier than most for my parents to still be together and love each other and spend time with me, I know. It just bothers me sometimes. If I wasn't around, would they put up with each other as long as they have? I wonder.

Anyway, we made $42 at the yard sale, which isn't great and we didn't sell a whole lot, but as we were going to get rid of the rest anyway, it was good to make some profit off of it. It's all going to AN too, which I figured out is 12 days from now! Yayz! I still haven't finished fixing my costume. Laziness, that's all it is. Maybe tonight I'll finally trim my wig's bangs. Maybe. I also have to study. Man, paralegal exam stuff is DRY. And repetitive. Hard to concentrate on it when you'd rather be doing anything else.

Last night, Mom and I watched the Phantom of the Opera, which is a pretty good movie that I enjoy, but it does have some issues. For one thing, Emmy Rossum and her deer-in-headlights look. It kind of gets on my nerves. I guess she is kind of getting hypnotized, but still. She's a good singer, though. And they definitely went for looks for the phantom rather than singing talent. The guy does all right, but he's more of a rock singer than opera, and I think they picked him mainly for looks. The bad side of his face isn't even that scary! Everyone freaks out over it, but really? You're kind of expecting Two-Face from the Dark Knight, and you get this kind of melted pinky look. I personally think that the phantom wasn't supposed to be that good looking, and his appeal was all in his talent. Oh, and Raoul is a complete pansy-ass. What a choice of lovers, the psychotic, obsessive, cool guy or the squeaky clean but whiny rich guy. They kind of take all the mystery away from the phantom by explaining his back story and how he does all of his stuff, which kind of sucks. They wouldn't let Minnie Driver sing her opera parts, although she's a decent singer. If you were going to do that, why not dub over the phantom too? I like the movie, but the stage performance is a lot better, which is odd because you'd think the movie would have more of a budget and stuff. Meh, whatever.

Anyway, hope you guys are doing well. Talk to you later!

More job hunting today. I'm getting a little sick of saying, "I was wondering if I could leave a resume here?" and driving around town. I just want to find a job, any job, and be done with it. I also have to send emails today to see if people have received my resume and bring their attention to it. The last one I sent got no response and I'm afraid it may not have gone through, but if it did and I send another one, it'll seem like I am nagging them, which only makes me look worse. Plus, I'm studying for my licensing exam and that's just really boring stuff. I really got to clean my room and get more yard sale stuff together, but I've been saying that for three days and haven't done it. God, why am I so unmotivated?

Anyway, I just started watching the new FMA anime based more on the manga that they are making on Funimation.com. Seeing everyone again is really cool, and it's only in subs for those of us who don't like the dubbed version. I kind of love the new opening too. The animation is the same but kind of different at the same time. Newer, but everything's off a bit. I'll get used to it. So if you guys are interested, check it out (there was a link right on livejournal, no registration needed), let's see if it is as good as the original anime!

PS It's interesting/cool, but it's not following the manga very closely yet...

PSS The closing is AMAZING!!!! Little drawings!!! OMGWTFBBQ!!! You guys so have to watch this!

We're planning on having a yard sale the second week end of May, so I was going through my very overly filled room for things that we could sell, and I found my old hand-written fanfictions that I wrote when I was twelve. Remember the Book of Lia? And Final Fantasy Dragoon? Well, I found them. And they were all a little blurred (got wet), so I'm retyping them, with all improved description and grammar (it was pretty bad)! I'm actually enjoying it. Let's see how far I get before I give up on it like I do all my other stories :P.

My cosplay costume for AN came, and it's more or less good. It needs some size adjustments. I'm pretty happy with it. It's making me very excited about going to AN. Getting your picture taken is a very heady experience. As is getting hugged by random people. Everyone at a conventions's is just as crazy as you are about this stuff, so it's like you can be yourself and be nerdy and no one will care. I love going to those things. Costumes are expensive though.

Still looking for a job. I probably applied to 20 places last week, but no responses. Tomorrow I'm hitting Picton. There's a few law offices and court buildings that are well known in this area. It would be a bit inconvenient if I did get a job in Picton as I am planning on living in Trenton, but I could manage it. Anyway, that's pretty much all that's been going on with me. Love you guys!

Well, I've been bad, haven't I? I keep not updating for weeks. Sorry guys, but you'll notice I do keep commenting, so you know I still come on here. Anyway, here's a run down of what's been going on with me lately.

• Watching Sailor Moon in English on Youtube. I know, total nerd, eh? It's so bad, but I can't stop watching. It's very nostalgic for me, and you have to give it credit for being the first main stream anime to show up this side of the pacific. I'm noticing all the cuts and edits they made, as well as some seriously amusing editing mistakes. Especially when it comes to sound. The story is very repetitive, but I think I can at least get through the first season. Me and Kate were making fun of it last weekend on how they must have had only like ten words or so for the transformations, and they just combined those words in different ways, such as moon, power, magic, healing, prism, rainbow, etc. All that girly stuff. Like I said pretty bad, but it gets me all fuzzy inside when I watch it. I actually cried at one part. Cried. But I cry at everything, so I guess that's not unusual.

• Playing Pokemon. I'm going for my third badge now, and I'm really loving it. The extra stuff is almost more fun than the game itself. Me and Kate spent hours one night playing around in the underground, stealing each other's flags so we could get more accessories. Her Yogepi still hates me tho, the little bastard. Probably because it keeps accidentally blowing itself up, but I can't help that it's only attack is metronome. Anyway, having fun with that. Pokemon red is going got seem very bland in comparison.

• Watching Buffy/Angel. Me and my parents are doing this thing where we watched the fourth season of Buffy, then the first season of Angel and so on, so we can see where they overlap. It's working pretty well. However, doing it this way, you notice how different the shows are, in a way I can't quite put my finger on. I dunno whether it's the writing or the actors or what, but they are both very amazing shows in different ways. I love them both, and watching them this way makes you appreciate the extent of the Buffyverse. Plus, you don't get sick of any characters because you have a break for a whole season each time.

• Watching and reading Harry Potter. I am now on the sixth book, and boy am I finding it interesting, especially the parts with Voldemort's past. I cannot wait for the movie. I love the movies and the books, and again, I see them as two separate entities that influence each other. I do that a lot when I am watching movies based on books and I find it helps me be less angry with any changes they might make. If they are both good then I am happy, I try to take them on their own merits. If it's a good book with a bad adaptation movie, then I am mad. The same goes the other way, although thinking of an example is hard because that hardly ever happens. Can anyone think of one? Anyway, I am having trouble putting the book down, and I'm glad I made the decision to start reading them again and actually finish the series.

• Job searching. I redid my resume today to input my placement (which I am now done, whoohoo!) experience. I also got some references together. Tomorrow I am fixing up my portfolio, then I am on my way on Tuesday. I hate job searching. A lot. It's stressful, you feel like you can't relax in case you accidentally say something that will lose you that job. Plus, trying to think about what you think you want them to hear is hard and hurts your brain. I'm not looking forward to it, but it must be done if I ever want to get going with my life. I've already discussed my fears of failure and of the future with you guys, so you know them well. When I think about being an adult and taking care of myself, my stomach turns over. Sometimes I wish I could just enter one of my stories where they are fighting and possibly dying, because they never have to think about lawsuits or taxes or unemployment or audits by the Law Society. It just seems so much simpler in a fantasy world, but I guess that is why it's a fantasy. All I can think of is what happens if I mess up. I could be fired or sued or suspended or even put in jail (if it's bad enough). Being an adult is scary in a way it shouldn't be.

Wow, crazy tangent/rant thing there. Anyway, that's what's been going on. Love you guys, hope you guys are dealing with life in a relatively okay way. Meaning I hope you are all good. I'll try not to leave it for so long next time. See ya.

Well, my parents have been in the States for the last week. They came back. They bought me stuff. Some makeup and clothes I need for placement (desperately needed more dress clothes). They also got me an amazing Chinese guardian lion statue figurine. I love it soooo much. They got me one more thing, something that I am sure Kate will be happy about. They found the newest pokemon game down there for a really good deal, so I'm playing it right now! OMGWTFBBQ! I'm pathetically weak, but oh wells! Now, I would normally feel guilty about this money being spent on me, but mom and dad won about $400 between them at the casinos down there. So yeah! I have a new pokemon game! I just wish is had more use for the stylus, I hate the direction pad. And your person moves really slow. But I have a piplup, even if I know they suck, they're too cute!

Anyway, this is a really brief post. I'll try and do a more detailed one tomorrow abotu what else is going on in my life. Love you guys!

PS: You have a hyperactive blond friend in this game. Is that in all the new ones?

Not like I've been telling myself for weeks, "Seth's birthday is coming, get ready" or anything.

Anyways... HAPPY BIRTHDAY SETH!!!!! We do love you, we are just VERY absentminded....

Hey, guys. Just thought I would let you know what was going on with me the last little while. For one thing, I am now officially done classes for college. I get to look forward to four weeks of placement now at the Criminal Court Administration office in Belleville.  I hope it will be good experience, but they will be hard pressed to match my last placement, which I enjoyed a lot. I have to get my paperwork straightened out today, and I'm going in for 9 am tomorrow. I really hope I make a good impression.

In other stories, I've now started watching FMA for the fifth time, this time with Nicki and her sister, Katie. They're liking it (if they weren't I would be seriously wondering why), but we haven't got to the REALLY good episodes yet. I went to Nicki's house on Friday and stayed over night. We had a good time, and she needed a break, she's been having a stressful time lately. Yesterday, my Uncle Kevin and Aunt Rob and cousin Jack came over to visit, as well as my Aunt Dawn. Mom and Rob got drunk talking about things and laughing a lot, and the boys all played my Grandma's Wii that Jack had "borrowed-but-wants-to-keep". We had a really good time visiting, and next weekend kate is coming over (may invite Dana too because I haven't seen her in a while and she lives next door, how pathetic is that?).

For lack of things to read, I have  recently read the William Shatner autobiography, which was really good, funny, and sometimes very sad. He's had a full life and he's not afraid of making fun of himself. I also read some Naruto graphic novels, which, despite very messed up censorship by the Amercian Shonen Jump peoples (Sai (who is adorable in his tube top) doesn't even say penis, he just hints at it, Hidan doesn't swear, Shika doesn't smoke, etc.) is still really good and is getting me back into Naruto. Thank god the gns haven't gotten too far that the series has gotten stale like I think it has in the scans.

Oh, funny little side note on Naruto. Nicki was telling me that Naruto has gotten to eight tails, and I said, "Well, they must be almost done the series, where can he go from there?" and Nicki (or possibly Katie) said, "Well, they could pull a DBZ thing, and he can power up, or his tails detach and become more fox demons, or the mommy and daddy demon foxes come, or he could go to nine tails two point one, two point two, etc." and I said, "well, if I were pain, I'd just give up at that point, because really, that fight would just be ridiculous at that point." but when I thought about it later.... I wouldn't be too surprised... because Madara and Kisa are still alive, and Konan so... the series could still go on for awhile... good grief. Anyway, yeah, talk to you later guys while  go and enjoy Naruto before it's too late.

Hey guys *waves*! Just letting you know how I'm doing, for those of you who are concerned. We're watching the "Bewitched. Bothered and Bewildered" episode of Buffy, which is one of my favourites. It's just so funny.

I've been playing some Harvest Moon lately, as well as some Ace Combat 5 (which I am sure my cousin Paul will be happy to hear, since he wanted me to borrow it). I also did some drawing, if any one wants to check out my page? No pressure! I had a nice three day long weekend to get all this stuff done. I also got all my homework done, which is a very nice feeling to have. The week after next is my break week, so yays! That'll be sooo nice!

Anyways, for lack of anything else to say, here are some videos that you may or may not watch. Love you guys!


The BEST Fullmetal Alchemist AMV I have ever seen. Kate's seen it, but she might want to watch it again.



Two very random Phoenix Wright videos.
