No, you be the stopper...
Pixie and I had the sweetest chat today. We just talked about whatever while standing outside, gazing at the sky. It was such a nice day today. The wind was breezy and not cold, the sun peeked out every now and then, and well... just perfect. Since she had nothing to do in class she stayed with me for about 3 hours before she went off for lunch with her friends.

So guess what she gave me. ORIGAMI PAPER! Yeah, this is offical origami paper from Japan. Cut out in perfect squares and everything so I don't have to cut it. They're so pretty too. I'm going to make her a paper bouquet of flowers with little butterflies on each one. Oh man, this is going to look so beautiful.

You know when you're talking to someone and it gets quiet. You look up just as they turn away, then they look at you just as you turn away. That happened at least... 7.. no.. 12 times during my conversation with Pixie. Then I didn't turn away and just gazed at her beauty-fullness. *sigh*

I'm still in disbelief that we're actually talking like this now. Just a couple of months ago, I was to shy to even make eye contact. As we stood there, people we knew passed by and gave us those "Aww, I think they're a couple" looks. Someone actually asked if we were going out. I just smiled and said, "We ARE out." Heh. Neither of us wanted to end our time spent together. Thus, my subject. But it ended with her having to leave for lunch then classes. Oh man, what a wonderful day.

I spent the rest of the time with two friends of mine, a guy and a girl. The dude and myself pretty much annoyed the crap out of the girl. We squirted apple juice on her, poked her with drumsticks, and took her hairties. Heh, she doesn't know how to get mad. She just smiles and laughs. She never wears her hair down so she was really persistant on getting her hair ties back. Well, I still have one, and the other guy has the other. Tis all in good fun anyway.

And I'm a manbitch...



...according to my friend of course.

My dad was given one of those gigantic novelty mugs filled with little chocolate for Christmas. Yesterday I made about a litre and a half of Baileys Mocchachino (Another one of my personal creations). I must say I slept sound that night. It's the Bailey's. It's always the Bailey's.

I feel obliged to present you guys with a pic. OK fine. Here's an old pic of when my hair was up in braids.

The Cana-Jam-Asian-squid-ness

You would want to be near me when I headbang with braids. They whip like dungeon masters. It stings like hell too. Ask anyone who's been beside me while listening to wicked rock. Yeah hah.

My toilet humour friend is becoming pretty phluckling good on the guitar. He's only had a guitar for a while and he's already playing riffs like a madman. He plays pretty intensely too. To a point where his fingers bleed right through his callouses. Apparently he heals fast. One day he's cut right through the skin, the next his fingers have callouses as hard as rock. What a dude. It's like magic.

Speaking of which, I've been watching more Beck. On episode 6 right now becuase of my limited time. Man, it erffin rocks. I wanna name a band after a dog. Now, somebody name a dog quick so I can use it. Something really cool. SG, any ideas?

I had better get started on the origami bouquet. This is going to take me awhile.

Cheers.

You sir, are a vicious bitch.
Heh. I couldn't help but constantly say this to my friends and dad. Yeah, my dad's cool with it. We always joke with each other. It's my mom I'm scared of. She knows how to wield a katana. I respect her very much.

Well, I'll start off with another Pixie mention. I made her cry again. Remember how I said I'd draw her something? Yeah, she cried because of that. I was a bit shy to see her reaction so when I handed her the drawing, I said, "Don't turn it around until I'm gone." And she did. So guess what I drew. Guess!! OK Fine, I'll show you.

My Pixies Drawing

I'm no fashion designer. That's Pixies job. But I think the clothes turned out nicely. It's supposed to be her by the way. Yes. This is the magic tear-inducing drawing. It feels great to know she liked it. I would've submitted this for original anime but, you know. *sigh* She's so wonderful.

I'm officially addicted to Beck. I've only seen one episode so far and the fact that it's about creating a band pulls me in like a fly to a spider.

Everyone I know (who has seen Beck) has noticed that Ryuusuke looks alot like me. Or the other way around. I don't play guitar that often but hey, whatever floats your fancy. I'm in an anime! Hah. The instrument is off. If he played the drums, holy crap, I'd friggin BECOME him! Mwah ha ha!

Excuse that.

My cut is healing now. I've labelled the bastard that did it, "Demon Pick". Honestly, how did that happen? It's a medium for cryin' out loud!

I apologize for the offness being-ism. I haven't had a decent sized meal for a couple of days now. I'm sooo hungry but I don't have cash or anything to cook in the house! This sucks.

The same friend who joked about crying on the toilet heard about my Pixie and I. Now he's feeling down because he doesn't have anyone. The school he goes to is full of girls who are into those gangster type guys with their ridiculous pants, hats, and chains. Ugh. That's sickening. I tried giving him smart advice. I told him to "Be yourself." He said that doesn't work. I told him to trust me. He joked, "Last time I trusted you I ended up in Newfoundland!" *laughs* I can actually picture him there.

"Hey there, eh? You lost buddy?"

"Umm, I'm here for Enin's birthday party."

*laughs* Oh man. This guy is too much. He actually told me that nobody says "I Love You" enough anymore. Then he grabbed me by the back of my neck and hugged me while gently thrusting. "I Love You. Can you feel the love in your hips? Can you feel it?" (Scary Movie 3, Baby!)

But he's right. "I Love You" isn't said too often these days. Why don't all of you say it to someone (or something) you love. Go on do it!

I'll be here drinking tea.

Cheers!

She cried..
..But that's a good thing. Pixie time, everyone. Yeah, I made her cry. We were having our usual very long chat. She felt tired so she said. "Now I must have my beauty rest, so my mom tells me." Me, being the dorky dude I am said, "You must have been asleep till I first met you." She didn't respond for two minutes and when she did she told me she was crying. I was about to strangle myself for doing something so stupid but at the time, I didn't understand that it was a good thing (Stupid me). She told me that she hadn't heard anything so sweet for a long time. It was a genuine 'awww' moment. Heh. I'm hopeless. She asked me for a drawing of anything. I told her I'd surprise her. I gotta think of someting quick. (Eeeps!)

I'm glad you people are intrigued about my magic concoction the other day. I too believe it's the Baileys. Sweet, sweet Baileys.I'd prefer that over chocolate milk any time!

I drummed for 3 hours straight today. My little sister walked in and ask if I was tired yet. I told her I'll never be tired. So she gave me the finger (which I have no idea where she learned that from...). So I prepared to chase her down. In a slight fit of rage, I slipped and cut my arm on something in my room. My room is messy as hell so I've no idea what cut me. I haven't seen my floor in months.

So I went to the washroom for a bit of first aid. First I sopped up the blood with toilet paper, then I grabbed a bottle of this cleansing, anti-bacterial wash stuff. It said on the bottle "hurt-free". BULLSHIT! That acid burned like the devils spit! Hurt-free my ass! Stupid lying bottle. I threw it at my sister. Closed of course, I don't want her to burn up too. *grumbles* Lousy thing...

My friends are silently battling each other for my drummingness. One friend (who is supposedly in our original band) is asking that I join him and his stupid 14 year old band (no offense to 14 year olds) for a battle of the bands that they will be participating in. They're bribing me with Sake, Korean BBQ and CD's upon CD's of hentai. I'm just as boggled as you are. I'd like the first two please but I won't play for you guys. My other friend is asking that I stay loyal to what we as a group started. He's doesn't have to bribe me because he's given me enough as it is. Man, how should I break it to the other guy that I don't want to play anywhere near his little band of 'tards and turds. Those people make me sick.

I was just handed a late Christmas present from my aunt by my mom. They are silky soft pajama top and pants. Man these things are snuggly beyond recognition. I wouldn't mind being buried like this (Of course I'd have to be dead first, you morbid fool.)

Well, have a great day. Cheers.

P.S. It was a guitar pick that cut me. I just saw blood on it. (Eww.)

Eureka!
OK, before I get too carried away, here's one little Pixie mention. I chatted with her again on Sunday evening and yet again we had a cute little conversation. She told me she was wearing the necklace I gave her. I haven't seen it on her yet but I bet she looks oh so pretty (She looks pretty regardless.) Perhaps she'll wear it today. Erm yeah.

Now for some fun stuff.

Sunday morning gave me an urge to make some sort of new beverage. So I thought a coffee based beverage would be an easy start. I started with a basic iced mocchachino (which is coffee stuff, chocolate stuff and coldness). I thought to myself, "Where can I go from here?" Without thinking, I threw into the blender a banana, some cinnamon, green food coloring, some remaining chocolates from a Pot of Gold chocolate box, Baileys Irish Creme, a mint leaf and some tempura sauce (for shits and giggles). I made about a litre of this strange looking liquid. I closed my eyes and took a gulp...

..HOLY HELL it tasted so gnikcuf good! Iunno how, or why, or when, but it was so tasty. It didn't makes sense to me. I put a mint leaf! What the hell? Oh well, if I'm stupid enough to try it again (which I am obviously am), I'll write down exactly how much of each thing so you peoples can try it at home. (Don't give me that look. I know you want some)

I took my family out to diiner for some prime rib. We have this thing where we pretend it's one of our birthday's to get free dessert. Well, my parents felt like taking a risk. They told our waitress that it was both my parents birthdays and my little sisters birthday that day. "It's the weirdest coincidence!" my mom said. And the sucker bought it. She brought three huge brownie sundaes to our tables and got her tone-deaf coworkers to sing for them. I thought it had to be the funniest thing to happen all week.

The girl must have been a clutterhead or something, because for some reason, skewered shrimp was included with every one of our prime rib meals. We didn't order it but we thought, "Ya know what? We'll just let this mistake slide and eat the shrimp." Heh. We pitied her at the end so we gave her a juicy tip. She was the type of person who messes up alot but still has a happy and positive attitude. Man, my family is bad. Oh well. I wonder. Does your family do anything like that when you go out to dinner?

Whoooo! More confimations of my trip to Japan! Well, it wasn't a confimation, more of a reminder because I'm damn sure I'm going (if not, I'll kill people until they die). My dad asked me if my passport expired. It didn't. Hooray! When I checked, I saw a pic of me with short hair. It took me a while to realize it was me. "Who the f**k is this?" I asked. Heh. Long hair rocks. Ummm. right! I was talking about Japan. Yes, I need to save lots of money. Very lots.

Speaking of lots, I was walking to my van when I received a phone call from my friend. He asked if he could come over to jam some time this week. As he spoke, he made noise of strainging and struggling. "Are you talking to me while taking a shit?" I heard no reply except the ruffle of his newspaper. I yelled at him for being so gross. I mean who does that? Honestly? Sheesh. After yelling at him, he faked crying and I offically made that the saddest f**king thought of the week. A dude crying on the john while on the phone. What the bleedin' hell, man?

Anyway, I'll be going now. My back hurts and my new beverage is engaging in combat in my stomach. Peacekeeper tea shall settle the conflict. Cheers everybody.

A powdered sugar reality
Things are running quite nicely now with Pixie and I. We chatted for another 7 hours yesterday evening.

Once again our conversation flowed as naturally as a light shower on a spring afternoon. We poke of babies, baby animals, laughing, tickling, awwing, pajamas, and so much more.

And then to my surprise, we began roleplaying. She was obviously the pixie and I was her loyal 'snookie'. We had a little tea party in her garden and I saved her life then made a pretty necklace for her out of water beads.

I don't know how or why but I do know I'm smiling like a goofball right now. I'm her snookie! Merry she calls me. Merry, her loyal snookie. I'm damn proud.

Have you ever watched that movie Love Actually? Where all the little love thingys work out? Whoo! Yeah!

I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
Your love is all around me
And so the feeling grows

It's written on the wind
It's everywhere I go
So if you really love me
Come on and let it show

You know I love you, I always will
My mind's made up by the way that I feel
There's no beginning, there'll be no end
'Cos on my love you can depend

I see your face before me
As I lay on my bed
I kind'a get to thinking
Of all the things you said

You gave your promise to me
And I gave mine to you
I need someone beside me
In everything I do

You know I love you, I always will
My mind's made up to by the way that I feel
There's no beginning, there'll be no end
'Cause on my love you can depend

Oh, It's written in the wind
Its everywhere I go
(Oh yes it is)
So if you really love me
(love me, love me, love me)
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it,
Come on and let it
Come on and let it,
Come on and let it show

I learned the chords to this and have been singing it for, like, ever. I'm so in the mood. Yeah-hah!

It's feels soooo nice! I wanna see her! I'm getting all giggly now! Heh. She got giggly too.

OK, I'll shut up about her for a moment. (But holy crap, I'm so excited, I could puke!)

ERm, ok hurry and think of something other than Pixie. Oh right...

My little sister held her birthday party today. But she and her friends and my family left the house for the movies. So I was on my own...

..happily chatting away with Pixie.

ARGH! I can't get her outta my head for 2 seconds! Honestly, you shouldn't ask me about anything and everything right now. I'm in snookie mode and I'm still in her garden. I like this place..


Cheers.

P.S. Sorry guys. You know how it is. I promise I'll have something different tomorrow. Trust me. I'll do something.

PINCH ME!
I've haven't posted for a couple of days. Why you ask? REason number 1 is I was really busy and when I actually had free time, I would sleep. The second reason is PIXIE and I finally got to talking!

Yeah. Even though it was through IM, it was completely unreal. We talked for a good 7 hours straight. At first it was weird. I thought to myself, "Dude, how did this come about? You're not making this up are you?" But then I fought back with, "Shut up, I'm talking to Pixie."

An hour into our conversation, we both admitted to feeling a calm and comforting feeling, the kind you share with someone special. It was as if I had known her for forever. We talked about so much. I even showed her some poetry and one of my stories.

WHOO-HOO!!

Since this 7 hour convo broke- or should I say ANNIHILATED the ice, I have absolutely no worries about talking to her face to face anymore. That's right! I can say hi now! Which I did yesterday. However, we were both in a rush and talking to our friends but I still did it.

This may not seem like a fantastical achievement but hey, when you're me, it's solid gold!

*sigh* She's sooo wonderful.

I can't stop smiling. I feel so awesome!

I should make some tea. Cheers everyone!

Yeah, that's me...
My sushi bar was closed again today. I had dim sum instead. Please tell me that you've all tried it! I'm too lazy to explain but this site tells you the basics of it.

What's Dim Sum?

A simple description does not do the experience of dim sum justice. If you haven't tried it yet, you seriously should go. It is DELICIOUS! I go 3-4 times a month. I'm a huge fan of chicken feet, curry cuttlefish and steamed rice rolls with shrimp. I could eat that all day. My friend and I spent about $50 on dimsum alone. Then we went to a bakery and spent another $10 on BBQ pork buns and coconut buns. I feasted today! It was so worth it.

Since a couple of you guys requested it. I've taken a pic of my cymbals. They aren't set up at the moment because I recently brought them home from a jam session and I'm too lazy to clean up the basement to set them up again.

My Cymbals

On the left side on the couch are two 14" hi-hats, on the floor to the left is a 16" crash cymbal and that shiny piece of sweetness in my hands is a 20" ride. I made an error yesterday. These cymbals did not cost $600. The givers spent a total of $600 on my presents, including these cymbals, a boom stand, sticks and overtone-reduction dampeners. OK, enough drumbo-jumbo.

Well, since I had my camera doing stuff, I thought I'd snap a shot of my guitar as well.


My Guitar

This is my Korean-made Fender Acoustic with electric guitar styled head. Shiny bugger, isn't it? Oh by the way, that is my real hair. It is that long. It looks really wicked on windy days. Heh.


The Rockstar Point

That's me attempting to look cool by pointing at you with my pick. It didn't work, did it?


Me Thinking While Tea Drinking

Yes. I can come up with the most ridiculous things while taking sips of my favourite beverage. Speaking of which, I need to make more now.
Cheers!

Sushi Comin' at Yea-hah!
It's about 2:00am. I just woke up from a nap I started at 4:00 in the afternoon. I'm surprised I didn't nap longer because I didn't sleep at all the previous night.

I really don't like sleepless nights because first of all, I like to sleep. Secondly, when I'm seriously trying to fall asleep, I think of things I wouldn't normally think about. Like being mauled by a cactus. Yeah, I thought WTF? too but you'd probably think of strange stuff in a dark room, tossing and turning in bed with a blank mind. Or maybe you won't.

I walked 6 blocks to one of my favourite sushi bars with a friend for lunch and when we got there it was closed. We pretty much had our minds set of eating sushi that day. Since both of us lacked sleep, we were damn clueless about what to do instead. So for a good 2 hours we sat in front of the closed sushi bar, trying to make up a new lunch plan. Has that ever happened to you? One little thing in your schedule screws up and your day is somewhat ruined. I really wanted sushi. I haven't eaten since. The next meal for me is going to be sushi, dammit! I don't care how long I have to wait. (By the way, I'm not starving myself. That would be a bit overboard. I live off Pocky & tea, remember?)

OoOo! I didn't tell you guys that my parents bought me a new $600 cymbal set and boomstand. Holy wow, they sound so good. at first I wanted to play lightly so I don't scuff up the fine finishing with my drumsticks, but then I thought "Let's unleash hell on these badboys!". So I did. There goes another drumstick.

I have yet to develop my New York Trip pics. I would've used mt digital but knowing me, that thing would be left in a hotel or hotdog vendor or something.

Oh by the way CME, you can't use my own threat against me. My hugs are so fatally comfortable people have fallen into deep sleep in my arms. None of you would want that now, would you? Heh.

Cheers.

Where's my smile? There it is!
I'm officially feeling better from new years. Thanks for the kind words everyone. I guess I reacted that way because I've never been alone on new years. Panda commented: "I've been told the same thing about the "way you go into the new year is how you will be all year". Which if true means in 2005 you will be playing great games, eatting good food and are healthy and safe. To me that sounds pretty good. Look on the good side." I want to thank her for that. It seems my misery clouded the bright side of things. Now it's all cleared up. Hooray!

So I went shopping to cheer meself up. I treated myself a brand new tea set. It's green. I drink green tea. A green teapot pouring green tea into a green teacup. *thumbs up* How clever. It makes me twice as happy to drink tea. Here's a pic:

My New Tea Set

Pretty isn't it? The set came with two cups but I'm saving that for someone...

*ahem*

Speaking of someones, I was given my pixies email address. I don't think I'll be using it too often because with a lovely girl like her, emails and IM's don't do conversations justice. Yeah, I'm not too sure if that really made sense but I think you get what I'm mean.

It's a bit late posting these but I've thought up some resolutions for the new year. These are actually possible and I'm gonna work like a troll pushing Grond to make sure they last.

Resolution #1 - Improve my skills and strengthen my endurance for playing drums.
(I play faster and harder than I thought I could but I can always improve.)

Resolution #2 - Have a LotR:EE marathon.
(A few of you are doing the same. I'm going to wear my Nazgul costume complete with Ringwraith sword. Heh, I'm a Middle-Earth Freak.)

Resolution #3 - Travel as much as possible.
(Yeah. I wanna enjoy the world while I'm young. Not that I'm not going to travel when I'm older but experiencing the world when you're young is really diffrent from doing so at an older age. I'm starting with Japan. Whoo-hoo!)

Resolution #4 - Smile more often.
(My braces are off so it's only natural to show off what a year and a half of metalwork in the mouth has done. And as an added bonus, I'll look friendlier and more welcoming which could possibly allow me to meet new people. Hooray!)

Resolution #5 - Try to think more positively about negative situations.
(This one is obvious. I have to see the brighter side of things before I whine or get pissed. And if I can't see it, I'm probably not squinting hard enough.)

Resolution #6 - Expand my wardrobe.
(My older cousin kept tellin me that wearing black almost all the time is a phase. The bastard was right. I've discovered colour! And I must say they look good on me. No, I'm not being self-centered. I have proof. A have a friend who has an advance fashion sense and is.. well.. gay. He and his circle of friends have voted me best looking straight guy and best personality straight guy for 2004. I am flattered.)

Resolution #11 - Learn to count.
(Hah. Gotcha!)

Resolution #7 - Remain faithful to MyOtaku people.
(This one is easy. I'll always be around for you guys. I promise.)

Resolution #8 - Make promises I can keep.
(You saw it for yourself everyone. I made a promise and I plan to keep it. Yeah...)

Resolution #9 - Cook more often.
(I do anyway but it's a good year to do so even more because I'm planning on being a chef.)

Resolution #10 - Steep creativi-tea and pour it out.
(If ideas come, make hard copies. I'm going to paint, write, recite, draw, sketch, sing or play whatever interesting idea comes to mind. Get ready for nonsense.)

I think that's it. I'll make it for sure. I know it.

Things are going swell so I'll take my leave. Cheers!

2005 How I'm going to hate you.
I need a hug because this year sucks.

I've officially had the worse new year in my life. First off, I didn't go to the party. I tried giving the house and nobody picked up so I had no idea where I had to go. So I scrapped that idea and decided to join my parents and family at my aunts house. I tried calling them but they didn't answer either. It was nearing 11:00 so I simply stayed home by myself.

Since time went ridiculously slow, I played Halo 2 online to past the time until midnight. I got hungry so I made myself some fried rice.

And there I was. Sitting in a beanbag chair, eating fried rice and playing Halo 2 while my friends and family partied their asses off. I was once told that the way you spend new years is how the rest of the year will be. I doubt this is true but if it is, this fucking blows.

By 11:30 I started talking to myself about what last years resolutions and how they didn't last for a minute. One of them was get a girlfriend. Actually, I set that goal almost a million time a year. At every "checkpoint" in my life, I promise myself I'd get a girlfriend by the next "checkpoint". By next valentines day, by the beginning of summer, by the end of summer, by my birthday, by christmas, by new years and so on. Obviously, I've failed myself again. "Be patient" people say, "Maybe something will happen". Well fuck you, I've been waiting for a long time now so don't you fucking dare call me impatient.

The clock struck midnight. I dropped to the floor and laid there, staring at the ceiling. With all this crap in my head I felt like crying. So I did.

I've never spent a new year alone and I must tell you it sucks. Lonliness sucks. It's stupid to feel this way but I do so whatever.

After a few pitiful moments lying htere, I got up and continued playing.

I went to sleep at around 8:30 that morning. Dreamed about nothing (wow). Woke up at 1:30 in the afternoon. I checked the answering machine and one message was my dad apologizing for not picking up and telling me how almost everyone drunk themselves upside down that night. The next message was my friend who started apologizing. I just hung up because I didn't want to hear it.

I went for a walk around the city, making stops for coffee and chocolate along the way. My pointless journey lasted a good 8 hours. Got home and took a nap. Now I'm here.

What a great start to the new year.

I still feel like shit. I still feel like crying. Fortunately those feelings are fading because well, I've been drinking tea and tea makes me happy and I'm going shopping today.

Now for a couple of non-miserable items.

It's my little sisters birthday today too. She's turning 10. I can't believe she's 10 becuase it seems like only yesterday she was a chubby little baby with an addiction for bananas. I'm probably gonna buy her a Gamecube because I have my xbox and ps2 and my other sis has a ps2. Little sister gets the happy-go-lucky fun of Nintendo.

I've noticed that Sahkiryce, my first MyOtaku friend, has completely disappeared. I wish her the best in whatever she does. Cheers my friend.

My uncle gave me a call officalizing my trip to Japan. All I have to do is save up for spending because my trip there and back are paid for and set. I'll be leaving on March 18th or 19th. I can't friggin wait.

I'm gonna have more tea. Cheers everyone, hope your new year started better than mine.
