Shika's Lazy Nook

Hey, ShikamaruRocks, here. How ya doin'?

I have another world. One called "Shika's Busy-ish Nook" that contains less random stuff than you'll find here. For the most part. I'll leave all the official stuff that's on here though, but all new official stuff will be there.

I AM A GIRL. So many people think I'm a dude, but I'm not. I promise.

Soooo, let's get on with it, shall we?

Most of these are in no particular order...

Favorite Manga: Fruits Basket, Saiyuki, Saiyuki Reload, RurouniKenshin, DNAngel, Prince of Tennis, Trigun, One Piece, KareKano, Lovely Complex, Whistle!, PeaceMaker Kurogane, Fullmetal Alchemist, HanaKimi, Ouran High School Host Club, etc.

Favorite Anime: Hunter x Hunter, Fullmetal Alchemist, Peacemaker Kurogane, DNAngel, Fruits Basket, TekkonKinkreet, Saiyuki, Mushi-shi, BECK, Avatar (it counts!!! grrrr....), Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, RurouniKenshin, etc.

Music Peeps: YellowCard, Death Cab for Cutie, Snowpatrol, A Fire Inside, The Used, Three Days Grace, Seether, Orange Range, My Chemical Romance, Hoobastank, Muse, The Pillows, Plain White T's, Angels and Airwaves, Flaming Lips, Bump of Chicken, and!!! The Jonas Brothers (my guilty pleasure).

I love cooking, drawing, reading (mostly manga but novels are wicked awesome too. I just don't have the time nor stamina for novels as much anymore...though I have been working my way back in. lol), knitting, watching my brother play Zelda/Metroid games (lol), and skateboarding, though I fail epicly at it.

Toodles!!

I have to make drinks for HOW many people?

So, my job is awesome. I love it. I don't actually know how to do anything yet (lol) but it still rocks. I love my manager. He's amazing. His name's Joe. It's pretty funny because when something's going wrong I always say "Oh no, Jo-jo!" so I had to tell him I'm not referencing him when I say that. lol.

Acutally, I know how to grind and brew coffee, but that's about it. Oh, and how to clean dishes. lol.

Anyhoo, tomorrow apparently I'm going to finally be trained on how to mix drinks and use the espresso machine because I have to make a drink for every employee that's in the building. Yay!

......So not cool. I'm gonna pee myself.

Well, I have to be at work at 9 am so I'm gonna try to sign out early tonight. Get in bed and be asleep before Twisted comes in and starts making awful type-y sounds and all that.

I'll talk to all you lovelies later.

Toodles.

Employment: It's a Beautiful Thing

So, my interview that I thought was simi-crappy apparently was a success! I have been hired at my favorite book store in the Cafe. Yes!!!!!

I would love to tell you all how excited I am (which I think would be obvious if you could see me bouncing up and down and screaming like I am right now) but I am going to my Grandmother's house with my mom and dad until tomorrow when I have my first bout of training (the next one is one Saturday).

Anyhoooooo, I have to go pack.

I love you all!!!!!! (because I'm in such a happy mood. lol)

Toodles!!!! I'll tell you how my training goes!!

Mega Tokyo meets Beck? Employment, anyone?

I've started a new little pass-time of sorts. I'm going to create a little comic where in every page is stand alone in a way, yet still part of one story. Thus we understand the Mega Tokyo reference.

Also, it's about a band (the BECK part is making sense now). How they met, what they play, how they get along, yadda, yadda, yadda. This is based off of the band TwistedCyberChick and I wish we could have. However, pretty much the only similarities are 1: the name of the band, and 2: the drummers stagename.

Here's the very rough copy of part of the cover (which just so happens to double as the cover for their debut album^^).

This will be touched up later. I colored it with sharpies. lol. Also, I had to take a picture of it with my cellphone because our scanner wouldn't work. Errrrrg.

Anywho, this won't be posted on theO for a while, at least until I have around 10 pages done. So don't hold your breath or anything (not that you were planning on it.)

Now, this brings us to the topic of employment mentioned in the title of this post.

At 3:30 today I have my long awaited job interview at Borders Books, Music, and Cafe after having applied 3 times. haha. Anywhoo, I'm guessing I'll post tomorrow about how the interview went.

Talk to yall later!

Toodles!

Terror of Immeasurable Quantities

TwistedCyberChick and I are off to a Dive/Swim meet at a Country Club not too far from our house.

No, we are not participating in the swim and dive events. We aren't even members of the club.

The lady in charge of food and entertainment this year is actually one of my parents accounts and she has asked Twisted to supply the Club with beautious background piano music for when people are eating. I am accompanying her as "page turner". lol.

Needless to say, Twisted is just about scared enough to have a major hemorrhage in some artery at any moment. I would be just as horrified as Twisted if not for a fairly recent change in plans. I was supposed to be accompanying Twisted on my cello while she played a few songs on her violin. However, she postponed buying a new A string for so long that she freaked and decided it would be best to simply stick to piano. You won't be hearing an complaints from me on that decision. I haven't played lil' Obito (my gorgeous cello) in quite some time. I was unable to arrange my schedule so as to take Orchestra in school for the second half of my Senior year and I didn't take it at all during my Junior year.

I keep telling Twisted she'll do fine, but she doesn't seem to care. Hm...

We went and saw "Get Smart" today and I must say. It was exceedingly humorous. I laughed so hard I mildly re-injured my ribs. Yeah. It was awesome. I can't wait to see it again (my brother was unable to go with us). Not to mention, Masi Oka is in it and he's simply adorable. He gets to be a little nerdy tech dude. lol. His name is Bruce. xD

Anywhoooo, it's getting on the late side for me (10:15. haha) and I'm tired with a long-ish day ahead of me.

Say all your nice "Go for it Twisted!" and "You can do iiiiiiiiiii'!!!"'s and what not. I'm sure she'll appreciate it^^

Toodles!!

We beez back, yo. Ugh. I'm lame.

Soooo, we're back from vacation (for a couple days now) and back to sleeping in the same room again. Omg-ness. I might have to scream if Twisted and I don't get on a more similar sleep schedule than the one we currently have.

We just had piano movers come to our house today to carry Twisted's piano up the stairs to our new music room. Once we move Twisted's ginormous TV downstairs I can have a friend of ours come over to help me set up my drumset properly so I can finally play it! Yay! I still need a stool, however.....Oh well.

Soon we will be off to see Hancock (if that be how it's spell. Yar. Ugh. Still lame). It looks pretty dern funny. Plus, I'm definitely a fan of Will Smith. lol. I have a friend that reminds me a lot of him. I've posted about him once or twice (with freaky edited pictures and stuff like that).

Hm. What else....Oh! Twisted and I are contemplating buying Rock Band for PS2!! Apparently it comes out in a few weeks. Yay!! We are not blessed with a Wii so we're pretty stoked about this.

Also, I drew some pictures of the girls. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, let me ellaborate. The "girls" are the four original characters in TwistedCyberChick's and my fanfiction "Sanzo Wannabe". I have drawn pictures of the girls (which are posted on Twisted's World "Sanzo Wannabe") in their normal clothes. Please do check them out. I haven't posted the new pics I drew yet because I still have to draw Anna (she seemed the most daunting), still, please check those out once they are posted as well^^

I can't really think of anything else so I'm gonna jet.

Talk to yall later. Toodles!
