Stupid girls go away!
Okay. Seriously now. This is starting to really bug me. Stupid stupid girls who want my attention AFTER Pixie and I start going out. What the bloody hell?

There's this one girl who I used to like a long while back. She's a Lifehouse fan so back then I said I'd take her to their next concert if they came out with a new album (only because I liked her). She then made me promise it, so I did. Whatever, right? She asked if I had remembered the promise in the middle of January. I told her "Yeah, sure." but I really had no intention of taking her anymore because I'm with Pixie now and because I thought Lifehouse's career was over. I was just talking to Red Tigress now and she had informed me that Lifehouse IS coming out with a new album. I swear, if that crazy twit wants to go to their tour concert with me, I'll shoot her.

Remember that silly drumstick girl? She sent me a belated Valentines Day card HERSELF. I'm also staring to think she sent the drumsticks herself too because it was in a plastic bag with no address or stamp. I was about to leave my house when I saw her walk up the pathway with the envelope in hand. I wanted to rush back in because that bitch is starting to scare me. I still have no idea how she found out where I lived. It's hard to ignore someone when they're the only person outside so I had to say hi. She asked me to open the envelope in front of her so I did. It was one of those ridiculously corny cards with the stupid music thing and glitter (that got all over my hands). Inside there were guitar picks too. Two hard ones and a medium.

Dear Josh,

I know you play guitar too. I hope you like these. Happy Belated Valentines Day.

Love Jocelyn
(And her phone number)

I gave a fake smile and thanked her. She smiled back and skipped away. I wanted to throw a rock at her head. I'm getting sick and tired of being nice. What do you people think I should do? I fear I'm going to snap and really hurt their feelings but it's starting to sound like a damn good idea.

By the way, do you wanna see the drumsticks? Here:



Aren't they pretty? I'm keeping them. I don't care what anyone says. They look so nice I won't use them.

So aside from these two psychos and a few more on MSN, I'm doin' alright.

I'm going to see Pixie for lunch today and see how she liked the gifts.

That's it I guess. Have a great day then.

Cheers.

Sweet... Just sweet..
What a great day!

So I visited Pixie at school at lunch time to give her gifts. She gave the most surprised look I've ever seen. There I was, soaked and standing before her with two bags of gifts (It was raining). I'm tellin' you it's always a good idea to prepare something to say when giving gifts. I stood there for a good three minutes fumbling over the words, "Here. I got these for you. Happy Valentines Day." Sure, Pixie is my special someone but that doesn't mean I can't get nervous and such. It's my first time giving gifts to someone like this so bleh.

She had work to do so she didn't have time to open them while I was there but she did get a glimpse of the Panda plushie. She gave me one of those "You didn't" looks and then I got a nice warm hug. That's all I could ask for really. A simple hug. I have yet to see her reaction to the rest of her gifts. I'll post that when the time comes.

While I gave Pixie her gifts, Mr. Bassist came by to meet with his girlfriend. Unfortunately, he was oblivious to the fact it was Valentines Day. After his girlfriend saw what I had given Pixie, well.. Let's just say that Mr. Bassist now has a red hand-shaped mark on his cheek and a few days all by himself. I thought it was pretty funny actually. Heh. Poor guy.

Oh, remember the crazy girl who bought me drumsticks? She came up to me from behind, hugged me and asked if my drumsticks worked. How do drumsticks not work? I'm guessing that was an attempt to start a conversation with me. I just tried to ignore her and walk Pixie to her next class. Ooo boy, I got some very envious looks from passing couples. Again, I found it quite funny. I thought situations like this only happened in chick flicks and that sorta stuff. Heh, who would've guessed this would happen to me?

All in all, I'm extra happy with the way Valentines Day went. I saw Pixie smile and even got a hug. *sigh* I so love her.

Have a great day everyone.

Cheers.

The Perfect Gift.... Or Gifts
To some of you, today is SAD (Singles Awareness Day). I wish you an awesome day regardless. For me, however, it is Valentines Day. This means today is the day where I give Pixie a few gifts to show her that she means alot to me.

On Saturday, I went shopping for her gifts. I've never ever been Valentines Day shopping but for the strangest of reasons, I had little trouble doing so this year.

I first went to the card store and stayed there for about 20 minutes looking at a billion different cards. Some were sweet; some were funny yet none were worthy. So I bought one of those blank ones because I wanted to write the perfect message.

I was then off to some store that sold chocolates. I bought those Ferrero chocolates because I once saw her scarf one down faster than I could. So I automatically assumed she likes them.

With two bags in hand, I thought, "Just chocolates and a card? Aiya, this isn't enough. This is the type of thing you buy people when they're sick. I gotta find something else." After pacing through the mall at my unusually fast walking speed, I stumbled (literally) into the Bath & Body Shop.

I've never seen so many different flavoured bath & body stuff. If I didn't know any better, I would've started tasting the body butter. BUTTER! C'mon... Finally this bubbly girl walked up to me and asked if I needed help. I quietly nodded and she proceeded to show a whole buncha products. I said I was going for something out of the ordinary, perhaps even tropical. She showed me this gift box of papaya scented/flavoured products. I must tell you it was intoxicating! "Your girlfriend will love this!" She said. I've never been told that before so I had the goofiest smile on my face. "I sure hope so" I replied. For an little extra, they put it in a green gift bag with tissue paper and such. Green is Pixies favourite colour. How convenient!

So by this time, I was actually skipping through the mall because I was so proud of myself for actually doing this. I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw a toy and stuffed animal store in front of me. A rush of thoughts blitzed into my head. "Hmm. Pixie has a bunch of stuffed animals. Would she like another one? Hmm." I stood there trying to remember what animals she didn't have. Then it hit me like a freight train. A PANDA! We were once talking about how baby pandas are so adorable so I rushed in and saw a whole shelf full. There were some small pandas but what good are they? I bought a big one. It is SOOOOOO soft. While waiting in line to pay for it I hugged it while making those 'mmmm' noises one would make when i contact with something of such softness.

I got home and put everything on the floor to examine my receipts. I'm telling you, I spent more than half of what I paid for my cell phone bill just for gift for one day. I surprise myself sometimes. It's all very very much worth it though.

I hid all the stuff in my closet so family members wouldn't peek in my room, see them and go, "Who's that for? Who's that for?” That gets annoying. I finished up my origami bouquet. It's a lily bouquet because they are so simple yet so incredibly pretty. My friend asked me why I didn't just buy regular flowers. Here's why:

1) Regular flowers die. Origami lasts forever. Much like my feelings for Pixie.
2) Simply buying a gift is thoughtful but sometimes lacks meaning right? A little handmade something is always nice.
3) Real lilies are expensive!

So now, for your viewing pleasure is a picture of Pixie Presents:


There's the panda plushie, the chocolates, the card with a little jewel type thing in the center, the papaya bath stuff gift pack with the green gift bag behind it and in the pandas hand is the origami bouquet.


Here's a close-up of the flowers. I even threw in some leaves.

(The red background? Those are my bed sheets. They are rose-red and very soft which is why I like sleeping.)

I'm hoping everything today goes smoothly. I'm getting all nervousy just thinking about it. It's all for Pixie. It's all for Pixie. *trails off*

Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful day, whatever you choose to celebrate. Be it Valentines Day or Singles Awareness Day. I'll tell you all what happens tomorrow.


Cheers!

Good times never last but they always return
*waves* Hi there!

It's been a while since my last update. Wanna know why?

Remember that stupid cousin of mine who got herself into alot of shit and pretty much destroyed my plans for Japan? Well, the bitch was over at my house. Since she was expelled from her schoolboard back in Vancouver AND her mom (my aunt) is close to breaking down because of her, she's going to continue schooling here. She stayed at our house because my uncle who has been cursed with taking care of her is preparing. He is the same uncle who was going to take me to Japan.

Now that the story has been told...

I swear if that stupid, whiny piece of shit gives me one more fucking reason to hate her, I will stab her with the blunt end of a drumstick. The whole fucking time she was here, she was on my computer, talking on the phone with her retarded gangster friends, and watching stupid shit on TV. Most of you are asking, why did you allow this? Well, unfortunately it's the only way to keep the bitch quiet. Otherwise, she would be bitching and whining about everything just for a bit of attention. I mean EVERYTHING. I was ready to snap when she started complaining about my MUSIC. She's into R&B and hip hop and rap and that kinda garbage. I, on the other hand, listen to real music. When I started blasting Our Lady Peace, she had the fucking guts to tell me in my face, "Turn down that shit because that guy sings like a retard." You know when you get so pissed but hold it in, you start to black out for a bit? Yes that happened to me but my father held me back. It doesn't bother me when she bitches about headaches or the temperature or the food because I can easily ignore it all but when she shouldn't even think of speaking an unkind word about my music. ARGH!

...

Things got better on Friday. She was still here but I left the house for a jam session with the band boys. You know whats wicked? Strobe lights. I'm telling you, it's so trippy. Especially as the drummer. The lights were all off and we just jammed in this stop-frame animation type setting. Crazy crazy stuff. If it weren't for the late hours and work the previous day, we could've gone all night. We've also recruited a new vocalist because our original vocalist had other commitments. No jam session this friday though but we're still going to do something. We're most like going to shop at the music store.

Yesterday, I went Valentines day shopping for Pixie. I'll fill you all in about that in tomorrow's update.

Until then, Cheers!

Happy Chinese New Year!
Like the title says, I wish you all an awesome Year of the Rooster.

That said, I'm planning on celebrating with me bandboys, Mr. Guitarist and Mr. Bassist. We're off to our favourite little spot in the city, a big Chinese mall. We hope to eat tonnes and perhaps see a bit o' "Lettuce Destruction" by the big dancing lion (according to SG). The first time I ever saw this, I thought, "What the hell is going on? IT'S DESTROYING YOUR STORE AND YOU'RE OFFERING LETTUCE?!?" Yes, I was incredibly confused. It was then explained to me so I get it now and so I enjoy it twice as much. Perhaps while in the mall, I'll be able to pick up the clothes I want. *ponders* OK, I probably won't have money left from eating so I'll save that for another time.

Here we go again with the "Girl that pay attention to me now that I've got Pixie" thing. I was happily sweeping my floors when I heard something come through our mail slot (We have a string of bells purposely blocking the slot so we know when we receive anything like just like emails). It was a bag with something stury inside. Drumsticks. And a wicked pair too! They're black Zildjian drumsticks with gold lettering along bottom. Oh they are soo pretty, I don't want to use them. There was also a note. It said:

Dear Josh,
I know you're a hard-hitter so I bought these for you. I hope you like them.
Love, Jocelyn
(And her phone number)

First of all, I've no idea how she found out where I live but I'll just let that slide for now. She's such a nice girl but I don't wanna be harsh or anything. I mean, it's really easy to be a prick and tell her to f--k off but I don't want to. I'm keeping the sticks though. They're damn nice.

Whoa. I just stretched all my limbs and heard simultaneous cracks at almost every joint. That's not healthy, is it?

I think I'll take a bunch of pictures today. Just for the sheer hell of doing so. I'll put them up for you all because I love you so much. Heh, that was mushy. But you all deserve some kinda visuals every now and then, right? Right.

Oh yes, I almost forgot. I received my cell phone bill for last month. I'm not sure if I told you but I had a few extremely long chats with Pixie. I completely forgot that thiese convos had to be PAID FOR. And so my total cell phone bill for the month of January exceeds $200. I totally learned my lesson. I've obviously started using the regular house phone because well, I just can't keep that up. Yet those were my first phone chats with Pixie so it was definitely well worth it.

So once again, I wish you all an awesome Chinese New Year and a wonderful day.

Cheers.

P.S. Laughing hysterically at 3:00am is quite enjoyable. I recommend you all do this as soon as possible. Heh.

I should really be asleep right now.
*nods* Mm-hmm. Asleep.

But I'm not.

You're probably wondering why Enin has a banner. I joined THAT yesterday and well, I was forced to throw a banner up to verify my membership. It's the one with the least amount of color so yeah.

I'm not wearing a bedsheet anymore. I am, however, in very silky pajamas. Still singing away the night morning.

I'm going to try to go clothes shopping today. Perhaps buy a few collar shirts and maybe a pair of shoes. Yes. Sounds like a grand idea.

Now go forth and check out my Our Lady Peace drawing. I rarely draw chibi so this I'm extra happy with this piece.

Enjoy your Tuesday now.

Cheers.

We were just talking and then I kissed you...
*laughs*

Oh dont worry about me. I'm not in any trouble with my dad. We always joke around with each other like that. He's like a good friend except he's got authority over me and 14 years of martial arts experience (which includes weaponry) and no mercy towards a much more agile individual. My ribs are doing fine now. He joked to me earlier saying, "C'mon, slap me again." while holding the same umbrella. Heh. What a guy.

I'm happy to say that Pixie's father is feeling much better now and recovering very quickly. He'll should return home very soon. Pixie's second semester starts today so I'm going to see her during her lunch breaks and/or after school.

It's 5:00am and I'm not sleeping yet because I made the stupid mistake of chugging several Iced Cappucinos that my mom brought home for me and my sisters. They were already asleep so I had them all.

Fortunately for me, I talked to Pixie for about 7 hours last night. I admitted to her that I dreamt I kissed her. Twice actually. Once was during some sorta ball and the other was during an award ceremony. Don't ask me why. My dreams don't usually make sense, 'nuff said.

She said maybe my dream will come true soon. As soon as she said that I felt... Well, I don't know the word for it but I could just imagine kissing her and what a feeling! I hope it happens like it does in the movies. We'll be talking and then out of nowhere, *kiss*.

*sigh*

Oh man, I'm in such a dreamy mood right now.

Anyway, I submitted my chibi-ish Our Lady Peace drawing for Miscellaneous Anime and if it's up then WHOO-HOO! Check it out if you can. If not, then you can just ask me to post it later. (Red, I'm surprised OLP wasn't on your IPod to begin with. What albums do you have?)

It's 5:15am now. Guess who's singing with a bedsheet on his head. I'll give you a hint. It's me.

Blergh, gonna crash now.

Cheers.

[Edit] The OLP drawing is up in my fanart section. I hope you all like it. I'm gonna listen to Clumsy now. *waves*

OW!!!!
I got defeated by a fucking umbrella!!!!

I woke up in a good mood this morning afternoon, so I started pissing off my dad while he tried to watch TV. I gave him light punches to his arms but I then took it a step too far. I gave him a fresh slap. After cornering me in my room, I grabbed my kendo stick and tried to ward him off (He's way stronger than I am.) He picked up one of those long cane-like umbrellas and we pretty much had a swordfight for about ten minutes. Things were going well until he stabbed me in the side. He's slow but when he gets a hit, it's over. My ribs still hurt. Yes, I officially got 'owned' but my dad and an umbrella. (Karma, damnit.)

Well, I finally got to hear Pixies voice after a long time. It wasn't a long talk though. We were on the phone at around 1:30-ish in the morning for about half an hour until she said she was going to make a snack. This morning, I received a text from her saying her parents woke up and told her to sleep. Damn. I'm still going crazy from not seeing her though.

I just finished a sketch of a chibi-ish Our Lady Peace, my favourite band EVER. I saw them in concert twice and can't wait to see them again. I'll scan the sktech and perhaps ink and color it for you guys for tomorrows post.

I''ve got a big bruise on my side so I'm gonna have it taken care of now.

"If I don't make it know that I loved you all along..."

Cheers.

Piss off for a moment will ya?
I so want to see Pixie again. *yells* PIXIE I MISS YOU!!! Honestly. Just a glimpse of her smile will make everything better. All these stupid girls talking to me now is really tickin' me off. Well, a few aren't stupid but I don't really want to talk to them anyway.

I had to block about 16 contacts on my MSN list because they're all attacking me with convo windows and those retarded wink & nudges. Fucking nudges. They're bad enough on their own but when I'm trying to draw, oooh that's just going too far. Not only do they pull off that stupidness, they start these useless boring endless conversations about crap I really don't give two-sixths of a damn about.

They're nice people and all but I just want to see Pixie!!! *sobs*

Ergh. Enough of that.

Yesterday I had a semi-jam session with the band boys yet again. "Semi-jam session?" you ask. Well, Mr. Bassist broke his e-string so we only played for about half an hour (which sucked like a leech on a fat boy). To kill time we went out for Korean BBQ and stuffed ourselves silly with meat, rice, meat, meat, iced tea and meat. The four of us alone can put that place out of business. *drools* I'm hungry again.

We then went for some bubble tea at the local tea shop. We started our usual chit-chat about unusual crap and whatnot. The waitress had thought we were high because of the endless goofy ha-ha's. 3 out of the 4 of us fell out of our seats, clutching our sides in laughter actually. I think it was the bubble tea. The sweet sweet bubble tea.

I swear, I'm a straw. I never gain weight. I can eat massive amounts of unhealthy garbage and hearty meals but it just doesn't stick. Evil told me it must be the pots and pots of green tea that I drink. Speeds up my metabolism or something. Double-lucky!

Well, aside from the annoying MSN related matters, I had a good day.

*grumbles* Lousy Saturday making me work 13 hours. I better die then. Die as in sleep.

Cheers, you.

I miss her so
Hello Friday. Let me take your coat.

I still haven't seen Pixie yet. She'll be spending the whole day today at the hospital with her father while he recovers. In the mean time, we'll be sending "I Miss You" type text messages to each other every now and then. I miss her so much. I say it to her so often, it's starting to lose meaning. This means I seriously need to see her again.

And that's not the only reason...

Ever since Pixie and I have been an item, other girls (some whom I never talked with, others I've like in the past and so on) have been talking to me more often. Why now, dammit? I've got Pixie you silly girls!

It's just so weird. I normally wouldn't be complaining about the attention but my thoughts and heart are Pixie's now.

Case 1: I used to have a a slight crush on this one girl who I've known for a while, but we're good friends now. I'll be honest here, I still find her very cute but I've only though of her as more than a friend once and that's it. Earlier last month, she's been spending time with me in the absense of Pixie talking about whatever and stuff. She later gave me her number. This past Monday, she asked if I'd go see her play and perhaps join her and her fellow actors to dinner. Now if I'm not mistaken, she's trying something. Hmm.

Case 2: Another girl with whom I work with just discovered that I play an acoustic guitar every now and then. She went and bought herself a brand new electric and amp and asked that I come to her house on weekends to teach her. II've known her for a while and I've never heard her even mention learning to play the guitar. Hmm again.

Case 3: A girl who lives in my neighbourhood asked me out when we bumped into each other at the local coffee shop. I've only seen her a couple of times and she's got wicked blue hair. But still, it's strange. Where did she come from? (Obviously, I turned her down but she still says hi and such.) Hmm yet again.

Case 4: Another girl who I know quite well has been getting really touchy touchy with me recently. She now greets me with very tight hugs and leans on my shoulder when we ride the subway. I try to crack jokes so I can chuckle like a goofball to get her off but it only works sometimes. Serious Hmmm-age.

I've no clue as to what's going on now. What has got into them? I don't look any different from before. Well, there ARE the new stylish clothes, the cologne, the absence of braces and the shinier hair but I did this and will conitue doing to for Pixie and Pixie only. Perhaps it's a test. To see if I'll answer temptations call. Well, I've got something to say to that:

HAH! IN YOUR MOUTH TEMPTATION! Nice try.

I've been waiting to be with Pixie for way too long now. I'd be totally retarded to just give up what we have like that. Especially now. Ooh, I feel noble..... and hungry.


That said and done, today is like I said, Friday. That means it's jam time with the band-boys. We're most likely going to work on some more Pillows and perhaps some video game covers. Mr. Guitarist was considering tweaking Red Alert's Hell March and maybe work on some personalized versions of Guile's and Ken's theme from Street Fighter 2. That'd be wicked sweet. 2 Pairs of my new sticks are now chipped away on all sides. I'm playing as light as I can, dammit. Lousy toothpick pieces of crud.

Oh yeah. The shelf that hold my encyclopedias broke yesterday. The bastards are gaining weight.

Have yourselves an awesome Friday, dudes and dudettes. Cheers!
