Oh... my... gawd... I... am... such... a... DORK! XD
With all that's been going on lately, I COMPLETELY forgot it was my own birthday! HAH! I logged on this morning and there were so many wonderful messages from all of you wishing me happiness and I quickly checked the calendar, "OMIGAWD! Is it the 28th of December already?!" XD
And surrrrre 'nuff! :3
Thanks so much, you guys, for all the wonderful messages and cards! :D *hugs to all*
In other news:
Saturday was my first day of work! :D I now work in the kitchen of a retirement home, just busing, cleaning, and setting the tables for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And, let me tell you, it's hectic work! Keeps my going ALL THE TIME! I mean, the last two days I've worked a total of 12 hours and within those 12 hours, I think I actually sat down for a total of 15 or 20 minutes? It's THAT BUSY!
But, I really like it so far. The people I work with are a motley bunch who love to laugh and play tricks on each other, so you immediately feel like you belong. The work is pretty much just busy work that's easy to do once you get the hang of it. You have to work at a pretty good speed, but I'm able to do that without any problems. :3 And, the clients aren't so bad either. There was one woman on my first day whom I was "introduced" to. She doesn't really like to chew her food, so she takes a bite, then spits it back out onto the table. She drinks all her juice and milk, though! ^_^ However, I think she's still hungry after lunch because she tends to stick around in the cafeteria and try to eat all the butter packets and Splenda that are sitting at the tables... You'd think that'd be unhealthy for her, but... she honestly seems alright. The only problem is that no Aids seem to realize she's there causing a problem for us kitchen workers... ^_^;;; The other downside is that also, that day, she hadn't been changed or looked after at all, so... she just kinda used her own pants as a toilet, making it stink rather badly in that corner of the room... ;>_>
Also, yesterday, I was setting silverware on the tables and a couple of women had come in early to wait for their lunch. But, as I went to set a spoon down, I accidentally knocked over her coffee cup all over her lap! AAUGGHH! I was soooo embarrassed! >.<;;; I was racing to find towels to help mop up and apologizing the whole time. But, she was so nice and supportive about it. She just said, "It's okay, dear. The coffee wasn't very hot and it was an accident. I can go change, so you don't have to fret so much. I've made the same mistake dozens of times so, I know how you must be feeling right now." And she had the kindest smile... I almost cried.
I am my worst enemy when I make mistakes. Others write me off and forgive me so easily, but I never let myself forget it. She was so kind... My gawd, old people have so much patience for young people like me... TTwTT
Also, my boss is someone who RARELY gives ANY praise. He's a great guy with a wonderful sense of humor, however he only gives you praise if he honestly thinks you deserve it. And, he gave me praise TWICE! I felt so honored! He even went so far as to tell HIS boss about my hardwork! My word, I must be doing SOMETHING right! XD
So, in case you couldn't tell, I'm in high spirits right now. :3
I wanna go see my boyfriend today... I might have to, considering it's MAH BIRFDAY~! XD
OH! Also~! Saturday night, my b/f and I went to The Mustard Seed and I had the Almond Chicken and it was sooooooo gooooooood~! *drools* I also bought 4 new manga: D.Gray-Man vol 15, Tsubasa vols 23 ans 24, and NG Life vol 3. :D Then, we went back to his house and played Brutal Legend. XD That game is AWESOME! *ROFL-SPLODES*
Anyhoo, I'd better go for now.
Thanks so much for reading, guys! *huggles tight* See you soon! ;3

Well, I'm back home now, from the grandparents. It was alright. But, Christmas just wasn't christmas this year.
For some odd reason, my mom's side of the family, it's been common lately for girls to get pregnant at 16. But, of the one's that have, they're young and stupid (Even now, and she's 19 with a her SECOND baby just born BY THE SAME FOOL OF A GUY who's UGLIER THAN SIN!). In the last 5 years, like, 3 girls have gotten pregnant at 16.
So, this christmas, everyone was spending their money on the babies (There were two newborns and a two-and-a-half year old who's REALLY SPOILED! DX) so no one was really able to have a traditional christmas. I mean, it's never been about the presents for me, but we didn't even have a regular christmas dinner! Some chicken chimichangas that I really didn't care for (Yosei HATES green peppers and onions) and some pumpkin mousse (I WANT MY PIE, DAMMIT!). Then, some broccoli salad and deviled eggs... Fuh...
At least I got to see some of my cousins. One of them, whom I've been best friends with since childhood, showed up! I missed her so much! :) She's, like, 2 or 3 years older than me and I just don't see her very often anymore. We were up late chatting and stuff. XD It was fun.
Then, we went to my other grandparent's house who actually had a REAL christmas dinner. The only problem is: I GOT SICK!
WHO THE HELL GETS SICK ON CHRISTMAS?!?! Me, apparently!!! DX I had been looking forward to my grandmother's apple pie since last summer! THAT'S 6 MONTHS!! And, I didn't even get a NIBBLE! TT^TT Instead, I spent my Christmas day hugging the toilet. DX
That's like waiting 6 months for your favorite band to come to your town for a concert, then they show up and you can't go because you caught the flu and end up bedridden! THAT'S the kind of remorse I'm talking about! TToTT
So, we came home.
I'm feeling better now, so we're thinking it was just food poisoning. Which, I'm sure it was after consulting the b/f-who's-a-doctor-in-training.
My parents got me a ton a clothes this year, which I really needed. There's was a cute pair of jeans, but they were too small on my hips to button, so we have to take them back and get a new pair. TT^TT And, some awesome shirts. I also got a WHOLE PALETTE of Perrier Water! YOSEI LOVES HIS PERRIER!!! XD And, everyone else got me money! XD I made, like $200~!
My b/f got a Gift Card to The MustardSeed (our FAVORITE dinner-date place) and he's treating me tomorrow after MY FIRST DAY OF WORK~! YESSSS!!!
Then, my grandmother got my a giftcard to a bookstore at the mall that's going out of business. This means EVERYTHING is on discount. Manga is 30% off~! :D There's two volumes of Tsubasa I want, plus NG Life vol 3 and D.Gray-Man vol 15. I will be a happy panda after tomorrow. ^_^
Man, I can't wait for that Almond Chicken.
Well, I'm sure you're tired of reading this, so I should let you go. *huggles tight* Thanks again, all of you!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Woot~! I got the job~! XD YESSSS~! *high fives and bows graciously* Thank you, thank you~! *sniffs rose* Aww, thanks, Angelo-kun~! XD XD XD JK JK JK!!!
Anyhoo, I didn't get to go to my b/f's AWESOME party tonight because my grandparents were in town. But, I thought, "Eh, it's family. They're important and I like being with them anyway." Then, they only stayed for, like, 15 minutes before leaving. That bummed me out. I didn't get to see them, or my boyfriend today. Oh wells. I'll see them again on Thursday and Friday.
On Saturday and Sunday, from 10am to 4pm, I have Orientation~! YAY~! I have a job, I'm so excited! And, since I probably won't be able to see the boyfriend for a while (I'll be out of town Thursday and Friday and then there's Orientation all weekend) I'm gonna go see him tomorrow. Maybe Saturday and/or Sunday after 4. :D
I've also submitted a few eCards and that 09 art meme as well.
There's a couple more as well, if you're willing to check out my portfolio! XD Hugs to all my friends out there and even my newest subscribers~! Thanks so much, guys! :D
Hope you have a Happy Holidays~!

WAAAAAAHHH~!
I have Photoshop Elements 5.0, but the Editor won't open! Can anyone tell me why?! And, of course, this happens at the same time I lend the disc to a friend and probably won't have it back 'til Wednesday at the earliest. TToTT
PLEASE! If you know how to fix this... PLEASE tell me!!!
EDIT: Nevermind, I think I fixed it. I can only access the editor if I open it as an admin.
This rice is... soooo good. (warning: long post is long)
My b/f's mom made it last night and I didn't get to eat any because I had to get to my French Final at 7pm. So, they gave me some in a bowl to eat later, and now I'm eating it for breakfast. :D
UGH! Yesterday:
Afternoon:
I didn't have my Japanese History Final until 1:00pm, so I went to the b/f's house and asked him to help me study. I got the dates and periods memorized~!
- Jomon (10,000BC-300BC)
- Yayoi (300BC-300AD)
- Nara (710-784)
- Heian (794-1185)
- Kamakura (1185-1333)
- Muromachi (1336-1573)
- Tokugawa (1600-1867)
- Meiji (1868-1912)
- Taisho (1912-1926)
- Showa (1925-1989)
- Heisei (1989- present day)
- Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895)
- Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905)
- WWII (1939-1945)
MWAH-HU-HAH~! I just did allll those without any help! Let's just say I was proud of myself. ^w^ The test went fairly well~! Most of the questions were recycled from the tests we had during the year and I'd completely failed the first one and only got a C on the second. So, I was sure to know the RIGHT answer to the questions I'd missed and guess which ones were on the test? (>_0) I think I did really well, other than some of the vocab... I couldn't remember who Zeami was... if he/she was a god at all... and I couldn't remember what a garan was. But, I think I did ok, otherwise. ^_^
Evening:
Afterwards, I went home with the b/f and just vegged until later when I had to leave. Which was AWFUL!
First, as I was leaving, dinner was ready. I was starving and I would KILL for my b/f's mother's cooking, it's THAT GOOD! So, bless her heart, she put some of the pork fried rice in a bowl and gave me a plastic fork to take it with me and eat it later. XD
Second, the drive there was hideous. It was dark, the roads were wet and covered in snow, the oncoming headlights did NOT help, and I barely knew the way to the University from my b/f's house. TT3TT Luckily, I got there in time and got a REALLY GOOD parking spot! X3
Thirdly, I got to the scheduled room where 4 or 5 different french classes were supposed to meet for the final. But, when I got there, it was only MY class that had showed up! Apparently, they'd changed the Final Room, like, the day before and NO ONE had told MY TEACHER. So, she showed up and was like, "Whoa, how come we're the only ones here?" and began calling around. They were all, "No one told you? We changed the room to building XX in room XXX!" Oh, we were so pissed. Frak...
'Course the only seats left open were in the WAYYYYY back of a HUUUUUUGE room! And, they'd written something up on the board at the front of the classroom, but I couldn't read it (I'm near-sighted, lol) so I just did what was written on the test. Of course, as I was handing it in, I was able to see that they'd changed the rules on one of the sections, which royally pissed me off. If we'd been there on time, rather than having missed the first 10 minutes by coming to the new room, we'd all know what was going on! DX Oh well... that section was only, like, 10 points out of 200, or something. Feh...
The drive home was a little better. But, my fried rice was cold. TT^TT So, I saved it for this morning's breakfast! X3 it's SOOOO GOOD~! *foodgasm*
OH! Angelo's coming over today! :D YAY~! I've missed him soooo much! He's gonna stay the night and we're gonna hang out and watch anime and talk with DevilAngle315 online~! :D Man, it's been so long since we've hung out and I'm anxious!
Anyhoo, I'd better go. My room needs cleaning... TTwTT Hope your guys' week goes well! YAY! My christmas vacation has started! XD
Bai-bee~!
PS: this post is really long already, so I don't think I'll post a song today. ^_^ Check in next time! (>_0)b
