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!!

Yes, I am alive.

But only barely. The same could be said about my general state of only simi-consiousness.

I'm working a lot, mostly opening the cafe so I have morning to afternoon shifts. I don't even get in bed until after 11:30 on most nights. Ugh.

Anywaaaaaay. I love my job^^ Not only I'm I making money so I can actually go to Japan this October (for almost a whole month! DUDE!!) but I really enjoy the work. Sometimes it's really stressful when a ton of guests come in at once, but it's really awesome.

Not to mention, I get 33% percent off of everything in my favorite store, so that's pretty sweet.

Just wanted to let yall know I'm not ignoring theO or anything, I'm just very busy. Maybe in a few days (I have Saturday and Monday off) I will post a picture or something. If I get around to scanning it and cleaning it up and what not. lol. Also, our scanner is being really dumb, so yeah.

Look'it the cute-ness!! lol

Take it easy^^

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!!
