hello, otaku! a whole lot sure has happened since I last posted. I finally got my Verizon phone last week. It's a camera phone, of course, and it has bluetooth and I'm hoping to download some ringtones on it, soon. It was free for $115. That means that, while free with activation, my first bill is $115, because of a lot of stupid surcharges.
Then a few days ago, we had a drunk driver run into my mom's stone garden wall. There's other signs from him as well. At one of the neighborhood entrances, there's skid marks and he also took out the neighborhood watch sign. The police caught him a few blocks away, luckily. My dad said he saw the whole thing and said that the guy almost ran into our cars doing a multi-point turn. I told him that if that guy had hit my car, I'd have been hunting him down. Since the car's not really mine, if it gets totalled, I don't have a car until I buy my own. But my car is still in tact...besides what Bryan did to it.
A few months ago, back in October, I bought 5 goldfish from the Homecoming Carnival at my school. One of the fish died within the first few days. Now, two more of my fish have died this week. First Hiei died, because he was a little fish and I think two other fish were beating on him. Then I saw signs of the other fish beating up Pumpkin, so I moved Pumpkin into a little jar yesterday. He was fine this morning, but was dead when I came home today at noon. I think he just gave up on life. Either that, or it was the murky water. Bit of advice: goldfish are DIRTY fish. They require constant changing. So I actually DO NOT recommend goldfish for pets.
And since it's Christmas time, we all know it's important to buy gifts. Well, SOMEHOW, Bryan has managed to spend nearly ALL his savings and checking money. He's been getting paychecks since the summer, yet he hasn't saved any money by now! It would probably help to mention by now that he got fired from Cobby's, but also gained a job at the Reel Theatre with me. But he wanted to have two jobs to make better income, so he could move out and pay for an apartment and still have money for utilities and groceries and himself. But after working at the Reel for a few weeks, he got fired from Cobby's because apparently his coworkers didn't think he was motivated enough and he got some complaints from customers. Just some. And he really loved working there. He lies to all my coworkers and says he hates that place, but I can tell he hates getting fired. Oh yeah, on the same day he got fired, we had a fight, so that didn't make his day any better...or mine. So anyways, Bryan has no managed to spend all his money on Christmas presents. I hate nagging him about saving his money so we can go to college, have a wedding, and go on a honeymoon, but there's now way to make it NOT sound harsh. It makes me angry that someone doesn't know how to save money, especially him.
Last night was a white elephant party at work. For my gift, I bought pocky, because I wanted to give someone a taste of Japan. Chayla ended up with my gift and she really liked it. I got darts. The person who gave it to me said it would help with my anger management. But I manage to get angry just fine, thank you. We also did the right-left game with some gifts Chayla got everyone. They all turned out to be candies. Like I got Sour Patch Kids. We also watched some cartoons that Gary brought. One was a Popeye called "You're a Sap, Mr. Jap." It pissed me off, cause it was Japanese bashing.
Today is the Japanese club Christmas party. I'm going later and Bryan will come after his afternoon shift. Then tomorrow, I'm taking Chris and Bryan to see ERAGON! It's one of their Christmas presents. After the movie, Bryan and I are going Christmas shopping. Since he has no money left, I'm going to buy whatever presents he needs for his family, as well as mine. It kinda sucks, because he should REALLY know better than to spend his money so frivoulously, but I think he just needs a good shock of single living.
So that's been my life! And if you're reading this, thanks for reading so long!
