Butterfly drummer
Well I certainly am in a fantastic mood tonight. I've got a bit of news. Well.. On bit of news. The rest is just crap I'm gonna blab about.

Let's start with the best part:

I got my job back! *thumbs up*

My boss gave me a call to see how I was doing. I faked being sick to make him think I was dying without money. *laughs* Just kidding. I actually do have a bit of a cough and I went into a coughing fit as soon as he called.

He told me they actually sold out of presentations. SOLD OUT! Yes. The presentations I've worked on for several weeks have been sold out. You know what that means... MONEY!!!

Money means they can give me stuff to do AND pay me. So, I am very stoked about returning to my humble cluttered desk. Very awesome stuff..



I jammy-jammed with the bandboys at Mr. Guitarist's place on Tuesday. Unlike the insane little jam we had on Saturday at the studio, I remembered my earplugs. So I mashed away with no cares. I think I deafened the others though. The jam room is pretty small and the walls are bare so sound bounces like crazy in there.

The jam went well. Mr. Bassist continues to be a dick. But a dick we have control over. Yes. We control dicks. *laughs* He was going on about how he wanted to produce rap. We very bluntly told him to shut it and play his damn instrument.

After the ja, we played a fun game that involved magnetic marble-like balls. I made it up. I called it "Take these balls and throw it". And that's just what we did. There were casualties and yes, maybe a death. But it was a fun game. the rules were to throw the balls and everybody lost. The end.


Our upcoming live is gonna be fun. We've got 3 songs that last about 13 minutes overall. We really honestly don't care what happens. We're gonna play, and people are gonna hear us. We've invited about 4 people. If they're the only ones in the crowd, there's nothing to worry about. It simply gives us more freedom to be stupid.

And it will be on video FOR SURE!

So when I get my hands on a copy, I'll edit it and make it pretty. then I'll probably YouTube the bastard and show all of you. How's that?

[Note:] Our current vocalist is not the ORIGINAL Mr. Vocalist. He's a replacement until Mr. Vocalist is done being busy with school.



So... This girl I'm constantly referring to. For the sake of using a name, I'll call her Kanon because he's her fave member of AnCafe, a J-Rock group she's crazy about and slowly becoming one of my crazes too.

I think I'll ya a bit about her then...

She's one of the girls from the Polysics concert I went to back in September.

Our first outing was with the other two I met at the concert. We went to see Rock Horror Pciture show downtown and it was fun. Although it was February, we exchanged Christmas gifts that day. I bought them Pucca dolls with homemade Polysics visors and tags, and they made me a shirt with an octopus on it. It's quite a story actually. I had told them about how I missed an shirt of mine that I had lost. It was olive green, short-sleeved and had an octopus on it. So they went and made me one. The way they designed the shirt was quite different form the original, but it was a really thoughtful gift regardless. RHPS was awesome as always. And so ended our first night out.

For our second outing, I went to an Anime/Jpop/Jrock/Cosplay dance with her and some other friends. It was pretty spur of the moment actually. Kanon said to me, "Hey, Wanna come?" I said "Yeah, but I'm not gonna cosplay..."

Funny thing is that I did.. Kanon, another girl I met at the concert (whom I shall call Bou) and another were cosplaying at AnCafe. The guy (the third person I met at the concert, who I shall call Miku) who was supposed to cosplay as Teruki (Ancafe's drummer) chickened out and changed his mind. So I stepped in and put on the suit. It fit me pretty well. Just fit enough to allow me to dance. And dance I did...

...as Teruki.

A dance full of nothing but Japanese tracks just was so cool. And there were fun cosplayers there as well. I got to meet a lot of them at the end of the night when a whole group (including our AnCafe peeps) went out for some late dinner. I met an older version of me with less hair who was simply hilarious. I never got in touch with him afterwards but boy, he was fun. As were the rest. I also met a girl who was just fun too. I'll call her Cloud.

After dinner, it was about 4am in the morning. Almost everyone went home except for Miku, Cloud and myself. We decided to rent a hotel room because we were bored and going home was no fun. Lacking almost a day of sleep, we had some pretty messed up fun in the hotel. Ice cubes, visions of Eskimos, chili and lots lots more. Fun fun!

The next... afternoon, we left and to Kanon's place for a sec. Afterwards, we all left. Miku went home so I went to Cloud's place to play PS2. I didn't get any sleep at all so I went home pretty early after that.


Our next outing was a few days later. On V-Day. *nods* I know some of you are still pissed off at me for my.. mood around that day. That one day, I did manage to eat something. Why? Because I went out with Miku and Kanon. We were all pretty miserable that day so we decided to just have a bit of fun as singles. We went out for sushi and I had Spider Rolls and... a fair amount of sake. Afterwards, we wandered downtown and then went to the arcade where we played DDR and a punching bag game (I got the highscore by kicking it).

Before the night ended, I gave Kanon a flower and ran away before she could say anything. I thought I was in the clear while waiting for my next train but she appeared right beside me and thanked me before she left. Wuhh...


The weekend following that day was a big party at Miku's house. After work, I bought what was required for Bazooka Joe's and headed over to his place. There were about 20 something people there that night. At first, I was pretty shy. Kanon, Miku and Bou kept trying to get me to talk a bit more but it didn't work so well. People were playing Cranium downstairs and I was put on a team that abandoned me by the end of the game. I won anyway.

...then the drinking started. I got a bit too excited. I hadn't even drank a drop and I was out of my shell. Joshie-boy bartended that night. I made the kitchen floor my "area" and I invited everyone nearby to have a BJ (bazooka joe). Everyone loved them. They're pretty easy to down and very tasty so they went fast. And that's when things started to happen. Strip contests, random loud singing, male leg shaving and so on.

I won a stuffed animal from Miku for drinking from what now is known as the Joshie-Sized Shotglass. Basically, it was a Batman mug. I fixed a BJ in there and downed it while someone played "The Entertainer" on the grand piano.

I think it was kinda cool how it happened. At first, nobody knew me and I didn't know anyone. Then all of a sudden, I was crowned "The Josh" (as if there were others...) AND I knew... almost everyone. *laughs* It was a good night. We spent the later hours of the morning playing N64.

Kanon slept on the couch and I slept beneath her on the floor. Kinda like a pet. thought she was under the influence of BJ's, we had a nice talk before going to bed. She told me something that kinda shocked me a bit and when I later found out she WASN'T under the influence, I was shocked even more...

The next morning, I headed off with my new stuffed animal and bottle of orange goo.


Later that week, Miku and I were chatting over MSN and he revealed to me that Kanon kinda liked me. Miku and Kanon are really close friends so this wasn't a joke. Unfortunately, I heard the new at work and I started to get nervous at the thought of it. My coworkers teased me.

Miku then got me to call her and ask her out on a date. when I did, I was a nervous wreck. I was all shaky and I could swear, I had gone pale. It was a group date but still, it made me nervous. The nervousness got to me eventually and I vomited at work...

The coworkers teased yet again.


That weekend was the date. We went to a vegetarian place that had pretty good food. Of course, I didn't eat much because I was sitting right beside her and.. Yeah, I suck.

We then headed out to Body Worlds 2, an exhibit at the Science Centre that features real human bodies all sectioned up and stuff. It was really fascinating. Even for Kanon and I who are vegetarian. Once we got into the exhibit, the other pairs left Kanon and I to wander on our own. It was sweet but I still kinda was nervous. Damn. I say nervous alot, don't I?

Anyway, when the night was done, everybody had to go home except Kanon, Miku and myself. So we all went to Miku's place to sleepover and watch movies. We rented Saw II and Valiant. Miku's basement was freezing to Kanon and I stayed under several blankets to keep warm. Personally, I was sweating bullets being that close to her but I pretended to be cold anyway. Her hand got cold every now and then so I held them in mine. And she also leaned on me.. I would constantly pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming. the pinch marks lasted for awhile so it was damn real.

The next morning, we helped Miku clean his house because it was still a mess from the party before.

Oh. I almost forgot to mention that I almost got in trouble for not coming home those three weekend in a row without telling anyone. But.. It's all good.


She had left for Costa Rica the next week and I got to chat with her for a bit while she visited a cybercafe. I also talked with Miku and he encouraged me to ask her out again. I thought it was a good idea since I didn't say much during the last outing. So when she got back, I asked her out to dinner. A catch-up dinner so to speak.

We went out on a Friday to a sushi bar. Though what we ordered wouldn't be considered much, we took almost forever to eat it. When we weren't chatting, we were covering our mouths and trying not to make eye contact while chewing these humongous rolls (which were appropriately name "Monster Rolls"). She bought me a purple dreamcatcher AND a bracelet with butterflies on it. Purple is my current colour craze and the butterflies.. well.. Okay. Here's the story.

She's an artist. And incredible artist. She like drawing for her firneds. She drew me a Christmas card and a V-Day card. After the big party at Miku's house, she wanted to draw the events. Before doing so she asked what kind of animal I'd be. She gives her friend animalist personalities when drawing. So I was given a butterfly because at the party, I fluttered about talking to EVERYONE. So she drew me with wings. That's how I became a butterfly. (She also drew me drowning because she knows I can't swim but she's really eager to teach me... I'm kinda getting excited for that)

(Kinda explains the new banner as well, doesn't it?)

Anyway. After dinner, we decided to check out a movie. When we got to the theatre, Hill Have Eyes was the only show left so we went to see that. I was a real dork because before entering the line, I had just remembered I had two movie passes in my bag. I gasped and went to look for them and she thought I had lost something. when I pulled out the ticket, it was apparent that I had lost my mind..

The movie was pretty disturbing at first but it slowly became cornier and cornier. By the end, the audience was laughing and cheering. It was entertaining, that's for sure.


That pretty much covers all the big events with this girl so far. I haven't seen her since but we do chat over MSN alot. Our next plan is to cosplay as other people. What I mean by that is we're gonna wear clothes we don't usually wear. We're gonna change our names as well. She'll be Cody and I'm gonna be Jaden. It should be fun.

Boy do I miss seeing her though...


*ahem*

So there.. You can't ask about her anymore because I told you pretty much everything...

...everything except for the cute little convo we have online. But anyway... There you have it.




So today, I shall be trying on a bunny costume. I'm gonna be helping out with the Easter Egg hunt for the children at church on Easter Sunday and... they convinced me to dress up as a bunny. So expect pictures.


Hmm.. I think I covered what I needed to cover.

Band, check.
Girl, check.
Bunny, check.


Alright. That's enough. Grab a Pocky on the way out, okay? You take care now...



Cheers.
