Memento Mori

hey guys well, Jay died overnight. I found him bobbing at the bottom of the fishtank this morning.. *sobs* my dad and I thought of some things we might be able to do if he were still alive.. cause the main problem was that he wouldn't eat.. if only I had done something about it before *sigh* well, there's nothing to be done about it now.. Silver-sama says he'll buy me a new one ^^ it's not the same though.. and I think I'll wait until after my trip to England. just so my mom won't have to feed the bloodworms to the fishies hehe ^^" yes, I'm weird, I bond with my fishies.. I give them names. except for the guppies, who are just with too many to name them all >_< (I'm at what? at least seventy guppies total now..) but I get pretty sad when my fish die.. *sob* I also hate flushing them.. but I think that if I start burying them, I'll get send to a mental asylum in no time ^^" on a happier note, the mosquito died too! the fifth volume of Sakura Taisen took care of that *grins* I had such a nice and quiet sleep (also thanks to a sleeping pill though, only woke up once!!) I think I have a heatrash on my neck.. it itches like hell.. I decided to take off my necklace (which is a big deal, cause I wear that all the time) and I'll try to keep my hair up for the next few days. this freaks me out ^^" other news.. I'm going to see Silver-sama today ^^ he's got one day of dayshift due to cleaning stuff ^^ so that means I'll get to play with the kitten and huggle my lover ^^ so I think I'll feel a lot better after that ^^ I think that's about it. I don't think I'll be on tomorrow, since I have to go to school to try and get my grade pulled up a bit, then work and then a birthday ^^' very busy day.. so I think I'll take a little break from the internets ^^ take care you guys *massive hugs to you all* much clown love, I'm outti! ps: this is just WRONG:

   It's hard enough remembering my opinions without remembering my reasons for them!!

I think I used that quote before.. *ponders* hmm.. aw, who cares ^_~ hey guys!!! well, you all requested it, so here it is: me with a bedhead and my red streaks ^^ I hope it's visible.. it washes out pretty quickly, but I've still got more of the stuff, so I can play around ^^ I also want to buy the purple variant.. but I guess I'll wait a while with that.. well, the resit thingy for the conversation and all went well ^^ I passed it, so now I don't have to redo the whole project ^^ that really was a big load off my shoulders to be honest.. now I'm just praying that I at least passed one of my finals, so I don't have to totally stress out over those.. though I still only have my grade for Spanish *keeps fingers crossed that I can change that grade just a bit up* I'm getting eaten alive by mosquitos.. I hate them.. not so much because they suck my blood, but because they find it necessary to buzz around your head all night -_-' as you all know, my sleeping isn't the best as it is already and this really isn't helping.. but I'll live ^^ I got a few days off from school and stuff, so I can relax. I've been enjoying the rest of yesterday with reading manga and watching anime. I'm really enjoying Kashimashi (girl meets girl). I can't wait for the third manga to come out hehe ^^' it's just.. like with yaoi, I like it because it's just another one of those stories about love getting over any kind of obstacle ^^ it's cute. and Kashimashi is funny to boot! I really recommend it to at least the somewhat older audience. (it is 16+ after all) since my DVD player is faking death (the CD worked again yesterday, but I don't think it's up to DVDs yet..) I decided to finally watch some Ghost Hunt on my laptop. and man, is that show ever scary ^^ I'm on the 7th episode right now and I'm loving it!! props go to Cati-chan for recommending it to me ^^ I was watching it last night, because all my monday shows (CSI and StandOff) are on reruns.. and after about four episodes I decided to turn a light on, cause I'm such a scaredycat *chuckles* I love ghost stories though and this anime really feeds that need ^^ here's the link to it, you just need to join Crunchyroll, but that's free of charge. Ghost Hunt (I hope I'm getting these codes right by the way.. I really don't want to go and find the correct ones if these don't work...) I'm worried about my pufferfish, Jay.. he's not doing too well.. I think that it might be because he's not getting enough food.. all the other fishies snag the bloodworms away right in front of his little fishy nose.. so I tried to feed him in quarantine.. didn't work too well, he decided to just swim laps *laughs* it did give me a nice chance to take some piccies though ^^ just for the record: it's really hard to get a pufferfish to stay still for a picture *laughs* well, other than all this I don't have much news.. oh, another thing I hate about my boss: he can't remember my name.. he keeps calling me Lyndsey.. now, no offense to all Lyndseys out there, but that is just not a name I wish to respond to! so I ignore him until he finds out I've got a different name.. not knowing the names of your personel shows that you have almost no people skills to me.. could be just me, but it just ticks me off.. ok, that really was it I guess.. let me look for a cute kitty pic to top off this post.. well, I'm off to watch more Ghost Hunt ^^ much clown love, I'm outti!

*can't think of anything*

hey guys!! I'm back yet again, feeling a bit better than last week. this time, I might actually stick around commenting all week, but I won't promise anything. I hope you all had a great weekend, I sure did ^^ well, lets see.. first off, friday. the test went.. hell, I don't know how it went really ^^" I basically forgot to print the exact half of the sheets I needed to answer questions, and I missed the guest-lecture which was most important for this test (not through skipping surprisingly, but because I had to go to the dentist ^^") so I guess I'll just have to wait and see what the result will be. I just checked my gradebook online and I got a 54% for spanish.. FUCK! that means that with just one freaking point more, I would've made it and now I have to do a resit for it >_< maybe I can beg the teach to give me some slack.. I'll see.. fucking hell, my DVD player is driving me crazy! it's the only thing that actually plays my CDs since my CD player has died a long time ago.. but now it keeps skipping parts and stopping at random moments.. this is really annoying me, especially since I'm trying to listen to the new Maroon5 CD Silver got me.. this doesn't sound like I'm doing too great eh? well, there is more! I hate my boss. it's official, he pisses me off! if I didn't know that in about two to three months I'd be rid of him and will be working with the lady I DO like, I'd quit. I swear, it's like he just doesn't want me to do my job.. he hovers around me and only notices the things I do wrong.. it's so damn annoying! he also treats me like fucking 'tard, so that really pisses me off.. I'm pretty much overqualified to do this job and yet he acts like I'm a freakin' ten-year-old who can't even do simple reasoning.. there, I said it! what else is annoying me.. hmz, well, I'm getting ready to throw my DVD player out of the window, since it's now crashing every thirty seconds.. ok, just to end my annoyance with this last comment: today is my resit for that aweful conversation I need to pass in order to not have to do the complete project again. wish me luck, cause I know I'll need all I can get! the weekend cheered me up a lot though. after work that is. Silver came over here and he took me out to dinner to celebrate our anniversary ^^ I was pretty tense and pissed at first, just because of my day at work and because I've got the feeling that I'm pushing myself too hard. I keep on going while I'm actually running against a wall.. anywhoo.. the dinner was great ^^ we had to wait for a table for a while, it was so very busy.. when we got to the table, I was more relaxed and happy (I had a beer while waiting) and the food was GREAT!! it was sooooo yummy ^^ had another beer during dinner and I think I talked to Silver more than I have done in a few weeks ^^" next to the CD he got me, he also bought me the special edition of Eragon YAY ^^ he was very happy with my little gift too (the newest DVD of our favorite improv-comedy series ^^) the rest of the night was spend watching tv and just enjoying each other's company ^^ it was nice and quiet since everybody else was out of the house ^^ sunday was a day of homework, sleep and little fish. just when I thought the flow of baby-fish had stopped for a while, my mom's fish spawned 21 (yes, TWENTY-ONE!!) fishies.. so now, I've got another little container to keep those in, since I don't want them to die. they tend to swim under the rocks in the fishbowl and die there.. stupid fish.. when they get bigger, I'll put them in with the other little ones and have 41 tiny fish in that bowl.. dammit, I'll never get rid of them ^^" but then again, I don't really want to hehe ^^" I made my homework during the afternoon and evening. slept for a while and kind of skipped out of helping Silver-sama with dinner.. I did help a little bit, but I still feel kind of bad for sleeping through the most part.. in other news.. I've got red streaks in my hair. my family hates it of course, but everyone else (including me) likes it ^^ when I opened the box that had contained the necklace Silver-sama bought me during the Anime con, I found just over twenty bucks. so that was a good thing *laughs* I totally forgot I put it in there ^^" well, that's about all I have to say.. sorry this post kinda sucked.. also, the cat-pics are kind of disappointing lately, so I only have one to put up: I made some new wallpapers in the last few weeks. check them out if you'd like and let me know which one you like best ^^ Hosted By theOtaku.com. Hosted By theOtaku.com. Hosted By theOtaku.com. if y'all excuse me now, I'm off to kill my DVD player, take a shower and head out to college and certain doom. much clown love, I'm outti.

   I should have just stayed in bed like I know how..

hey guys. well, yesterday was unfortunately a day of disasters and letdowns.. I could've sworn my test was scheduled for thursday afternoon, but once I arrived at the college building, I couldn't find the room where we were supposed to be.. so I checked the schedule and found out that the test will be today.. at the same time nonetheless, but a day later. *sigh* so that took away a big part of my day. especially since the subway was delayed once again so that I got to miss my bus back home and had to wait half an hour for the next one. once I finally got home, I had a slight fight with my mom again. this time simply because she doesn't listen to me. I had to get some stuff for my fishbowl (anti-algae thingies and bloodworms for my pufferfish) so she asked if we could look for some stuff she needed while we were at it. so I said: sure, if we're going out anyway. and this was her response: "FINE! then we won't go! I'll go alone some time, shees!" O_o" I cannot believe that woman.. I might have sounded a bit reluctant, but I could've sworn that my answer was a positive one >_< eventually, we did go, but my mom kept whining about her leg halfway through the walk.. (there is something illustrous going on with my mom's leg. no doctor has yet been able to figure it out, so now she's scheduled for an MRI-scan. I just hope they check her head too while they're at it..) so I tried to give her some advice on that and comfort her, which of course fell the wrong way again. so I fell back into my habit of making cruel jokes about it and being sarcastic. can't help it, if she doesn't want to cheer up and accept the fact that I'm not some magician who can just point at her leg and make it all better, I don't feel any need to be a concerned daughter to her. not right now. alright. so right after all that fun, it was time for me to clean up the fishbowl. now its inhabitants have decreased to twenty, since I put the biggest ones in the aquarium/tank after all. that now holds about 40-50 fish, but I think it can handle it.. ah heck, I'll put up some pictures so you guys know what I'm talking about ^^ it's a good thing my fish always cheer me up ^^ then it was time for dinner and it seemed like all bad things had gotten out of my way. wrong again. just you wait.. my mom needs a new matress, so we (my mom, dad and I) went to this bed-store thingy. I needed a new cover (sheets) for my bed, since my other ones are slowly falling apart ^^" so I went with them. that all went well and was fun. a bit earlier, I had gotten a textmessage from Silver-sama, saying he was preparing for a barbeque.. so I asked if he was going to do it that night, since I remembered he had this big BBQ thing coming up from work.. and then he replied with a no, we're going to do it tomorrow.. hmz.. my mind slowly got into action and I thought that maybe we were going to BBQ at his house.. so I asked that and said that I would be later due to my test.. when he replied he said this: "no, at my boss. will you be in time for dinner?" this just got more and more confusing... so when I asked if I was allowed to come with him to the barbeque at his boss', it finally got through to him too: he doesn't have time at all tonight to see me >_< so tonight will be a quiet night all by myself in my own house.. my mom is going to a birthday and my dad and brother are going to see the Admirals play (American Football, yes, it also happens here!) I guess I could work on my homework, cause I really don't see much other gaps in my schedule to do that. that is, if Silver doesn't suddenly realise he already has plans for saturday and sunday.. *sigh* I don't want to sound mean, but it just pissed me off.. especially since it was on our anniversary and I miss him like hell.. I want him to be with me, especially now, with the way I've been feeling.. I know he has other obligations, but still.. oh well, I'll survive I'm sure. I could always try and get a hold of Grifter-san to keep me virtual company, though that might be hard, since he shows up less often than the Loch Ness Monster ^_~ well, I didn't want to whine all through the post, but I did, didn't I? my apologies guys, I needed to vent. if you don't know what to say, it's ok to not leave a comment ^^ I'll try to comment to sites again today. I had a slightly better sleep last night, thanks to two sleeping pills, so I'm feeling a bit better than before. though I could always use a nap *laughs* oh by the way, I forgot to tell you guys, but I finally buckled and bought Clerks 1&2 and Motherf*ucking Snakes on a Motherf*cking Plane ^^ so I guess Silver and me can watch both Clerks movies on saturday if we'd like ^^ I know I REALLY want to see the second movie ^^ and Snakes on a Plane will go on the "so-bad-it's-good" pile of DVDs I got ^^ (together with Frankenfish, Dinocroc, Boa vs. Python and lots of others ^^) well, at least I ended this post an a positive note ^^ I'll post some random kitteh pics to make you all smile and perhaps even laugh out loud ^^ much clown love, I'm outti.

   four years already... \^_^/

hey guys!! I hope you all are doing alright. I have been.. well, lets just not discuss that right now ^^" I can however tell you that my sleeping has been suckier than ever and I feel like I'm about to crash into a wall I built myself.. it's hard to explain so I won't. I have been reading posts, just not commenting again. I don't know if I can make a decent comment at this time.. so sorry if you don't hear much from me for a while *bows* in happier news, today is the day me and Silver-sama are together for FOUR whole years ^^ cute ne? too bad we don't actually get to see each other today, but I'll go to his place tomorrow and he'll be here saturday evening and all of sunday. I hope we find the time to go out and do something.. it was too late when I figured out I should've gone to him on saturday, cause I already promised my mom he would be here.. now if I had gone to his place, we could've caught a movie (OCEAN'S 13!!! *tried to make capital numbers.. now why doesn't that ever work?!*) and then gone to our favorite bar for some beers or maybe even go out to play some pool.. but noooo, I had to promise my mom we would be here.. ow well, we could always.. erhm... *thinks* well.. I'll think of something! as for my tests: two down, one to go. Spanish and the test about business economy and marketing both went by pretty smoothly. well, spanish is always a question of "can I get enough points from the questions out of texts and translating senteces?" since that's the only thing I can really do in any other language besides Dutch and English ^^" economy and marketing was easy. all multiple choice. we had to stay for at least half and hour and half my class said: "That means you Lydia!" guess who was done in exactly half an hour ^_~ I dread today's test, cause it's made up of subjects I completely missed.. ow well, I'll see what comes out of it all. freakin' edit: I came to college only to find out that the test is TOMORROW >_< !!! other than that nothing much has been going on in my life at the moment.. except for fighting with my mom about money as usual.. my mom implemented that I don't make enough money to pay my own phonebill.. so in theory, I might as well quit my job *sigh* I just hate it when she denies me my own life. she whines about having to pay for my phone and when I tell her she can stop that, she whines about not having to pay for it *rolls eyes* my fish are getting so big.. the little fishbowl (where the baby guppies live) is getting pretty darn crowded with it's thirtyseven occupants.. they're just getting too big for the bowl and I don't really want to put them in the aquarium, since that's also pretty much up to it's maximum capacity.. anyone want some fish? you will have to make sure that you can come and pick them up though.. I don't think sending them in a package is going to turn out ok for the little guys.. my sucky fish (the ones that eat algea) are getting huge too.. I bought them as tiny little young'uns at about an inch long.. they grew about four to five times that big >_< I love them though, they look like little sharks ^^ except for the sucky mouths that is.. well, I've ranted long enough. I should get to reading through my casus for today's test.. wish me luck guys ^^" oh and Silver-sama is all better ^^ well, slightly anyway and he's back to work ^^ much clown love, I'm outti.

Will it ever get any better? Or will I feel this way the rest of my life? I just can't get it together and now and then I'm losing my mind..

hey guys! well, I thought I'd keep up the humongous post about the Con for a while, due to the just plain sad turnup.. oh well, six comments lies around the number I've been getting lately, so I guess it's time for a new post. not all has been well in the land of the Lyds yet again *sigh* college is becoming a big pain and a huge source of stress and worries. I NEED to pass my midterms this week, or I won't be allowed to go on an internship next year (meaning I'll get kicked out) to make matters worse, I need to do a resit for the conversation bit of the project.. as some of you might know, I had to do a conversation with an 'angry customer' and try to get things worked out. I horribly failed that thing and thought it wouldn't be too much of a big deal.. well, it is. I'm currently at 40% as far as my grade for the group project stands. if I don't pass the resit, I'll have to redo the COMPLETE FREAKIN' project >_< I really can't have that happening now!! but what makes it so horrible is that I now have to prepair for all SEVEN meetings that have been held this year and have to do TWO RANDOM talk, which the teacher will pick!! that just gets me angry. I have to study for my midterms, get an assignment in order AND prepair for sever freaking conversations while only two will be tested.. it's just too much for me to handle right now.. I was with Silver when I found out about the project and I just started bawling my eyes out.. it was too much.. I basically broke down and gave up hope.. I have been pretty down lately as it is anyway.. for some reason, I don't think I can handle much more.. I'm done for this year I think. maybe it's because of my new job that's draining me, maybe it's because I'm desperate for summer to come around, I don't know.. all I know is that I just want college to be over with already.. alright, enough whining. there have been good things too, of course and I need to focus on those ^^ I watched Midori Days and it was so cute and funny and kind of weird at times ^^" but I'm really glad that I bought the series ^^ or got it from Silver-sama, I can't remember *laughs* I think when I have the time I'll start on Kare Kano (his and her circumstances) but I'll probably only get around to watching the Saikano OVA this week.. on second thought, maybe that's not very smart, considering the emotional state I'm in right now ^^" ow well, I'll see, college comes first this week.. I've also been reading a lot of my yaoi. some of it has been pretty plain disturbing, but others were downright cute and sexy ^^ I finished Yellow, which is just a great series of four volumes and I'm currently reading Saihoshi the Guardian, which is a lot more graphic than most yaoi I'm used to.. oh well, I enjoy it anyway hehe ^^ (call me a pervert all you want, I just have my preferences tee-hee) after Saihoshi I'll take a break from the boy's love and will probably start reading CardCaptor Sakura again, now that I have all volumes and can read it in the right order hehe ^^ (and now don't start with me about the yaoi theme in there, cause I know! I need to move away from it slowly, or I'll get withdrawal symptoms ^_~) speaking of withdrawal, I'm afraid my sleeping pills are back on their addictive track.. it worries me, but I just have to be strong and I'll probably ask the doc about it when I go and see him again (which should be in a couple weeks) ah yes, the weekend.. I had great fun with Silver-sama ^^ work on saturday was hard as hell, since I had to take care of the women's department this time, instead of the kids and men.. it was straight horror.. getting asked questions from different sides, getting boxes handed to you with the words 'you can put those back' and worst of all: they totally wreck the place! they put the shoes back where they don't belong and then it's up to me to find out where they did have to go and which shoes needed to go where they were put.. also, I don't really like my boss.. he's the manager, but he just doesn't have the right people skills to handle me I think.. he was downright blunt and mean at times and making me look like a complete idiot in front of the customers.. so what if I can't find something, it was my freakin fourth day and my first day with the ladies.. oh well, maybe he'll warm up to me and if not, I just have to remember that in a few months I'll be at the new store in my own town, with the boss-lady I do like ^^ where was I going with this.. oh yes, the weekend ^^ Silver came over here on saturday and after dinner we headed out to his place ^^ the weekend mostly consisted out of sleeping and playing/cuddling with the kitten, Tika, who has received the loving name of Tikachu from me *chuckles* she really is the cutest thing alive if you ask me, with those googley eyes and that little rat-like tail *snickers* she still needs to fill up on fur hehe ^^ she's really playful and sweet and even though she bites a lot, she doesn't bite hard all the time and makes up with little licks when she does. I also discovered that she is a wonderful way of tickling Silver without really doing anything myself hehe ^^ don't worry, my head did not explode into candy yet ^^ well, that's about it from me (it's long enough ne?) I have to get to studying for my spanish this afternoon >_< give your love and best wishes to Silver-sama please, he's kinda sick, poor darling *hugs to him* well, I'll see you all around *hugs to all* much clown love, I'm outti. ps: I'll put up links to the kitteh sites for all of you wondering where all my lovely pics come from ^^ OH! and happy birthday Alex!! (DestinySweetMan)!!!

   I see my life flash before me, I hear all my favorite songs at one time (when I enter that ever so yummy Dealer Room!!!)

GUYS!!! ZOMGosh you are all still here ^^ *massive hugs to everyone* well, I'm finally returning to TheO for sure now, getting back into the swing of commenting (as of today, I'm too lazy to catch up with all the sites I've missed so far) and of course posting again ^^ I've actually cut my nails, just because I couldn't really type anymore.. it was hell I tell ya! I'd hit two or three buttons at a time and basically never ended up with the words I was going for *Laughs* this meant having to retype a lot of my sentences, so I decided to clip them for a change. the past two days have been weird.. I'm back home and not in that ever so fluffy hotel bed.. dammit, was that ever a nice bed.. more on that later ^^ yesterday I basically organised my life a little. send in the forms to make sure I'm listed for next year's classes, did some financial business (meaning I paid my mom and I took some money off my savings account in order to make up for my expenses at the Con), wrote back to my ojou-sama Magnus (who is now about a month away ^^ YAY, it's the next thing to live forward to ^^) and I called the bloodbank. why you ask? because I was asked if I wanted to become a plasma donor instead of full-blood. apparently, there is a shortage in plasma donors here in the Netherlands and they are looking for blood donors who want to shift to plasma. so I first wanted to ask if I was still not allowed to give blood or plasma for a year, since I got my tattoo.. they said that I can't indeed but after that time they will still need plasma donors. so I sent in the form saying that I would like to shift. doesn't really make a lot of difference, just that I will have to go in more often (about 8 times a year, instead of three to four) and that I will only donate plasma and not my bloodplatethingamabobses. so yeah... today I went to school for a group meeting. we've got a lot of things to catch up with, especially since this is the last week of college. next week will be exams/midterms/tests/whatevers. can't say I'm looking forward to that *laughs* I'm afraid I've missed too many classes to pass them, but I'll have to wait and see ^^" other than that, I didn't do much today.. got to see the bus drive away in front of me for the umpteenth time in a couple of weeks, did some homework, fell asleep in the afternoon. and that's pretty much it ^^" oh and yesterday I cleaned out my little fishbowl with guppies.. man, they're getting big again ^^" *sees all your anticipating looks* what? you don't want to hear about the last two days? you want to hear about the Anime Con? ow well, if you all insist! *grins* but first: go to the toilet, get a drink and a snack and settle in, cause this might take a while. alright, here goes ^^ well, I went to Silver-sama on thursday, so that we could leave bright and early on friday to the east of this tiny little country to the biggest Anime Convention of the Netherlands: Anime Con 2007. late on thursday evening (and early friday morning), I tried to sow my bandana for my cosplay.. of course I started way too late and, just as Murphy's Law tells us, everything that could go wrong, did so. the bandana stayed in one piece though, even though the seams (sp?) were kind of falling apart at the end of the weekend ^^' when we finally did leave for the Con, we had to return to Silver's home two or three times cause we'd forgotten stuff.. but finally, around 11.45 am, we set of into the horizon. unlike Silver-sama, I love long drives. there's just something about driving around for hours.. especially at night, when it's dark (though of course, this wasn't the case this time) I think I fell asleep a couple of times though and I was probably pretty boring. when we got to Almelo, Silver had to drop me off at Con grounds, cause I had to attend the Gopher (Gaffer) briefing. it was nice to be able to walk straight through and get to check into the Con without waiting in line ^^ the briefing had just started and I was guided to the GopherLounge by one of the other gophers. the briefing was.. well, brief and funny, but also very informative. after it, we were told that there were volunteers needed to help at the GameRoom, so I headed up there. when I got there, they looked at me and said: 'are you the only one?' and I basically said yeah, cause we just ended the briefing. turned out they needed people to carry stuff from one side of the hotel to the DDR room (yes, they had a special room just for DDR, and karaoke at night.) and they didn't really think a tiny little girl like me could carry heavy stuff. I did prove them wrong, but I was the only girl helping out between two huge guys and one slightly smaller guy *laughs* after that, it was time to wait for Silver-sama to show up. he had to come with the bus from the hotel, so I had some time.. short chats were exchanged with the other gophers and I changed into my Winry cosplay (photos will come later on in this post ^_~) when Silver finally got to the Con grounds, hehad to wait in line for a while *snickers* I was kind of taunting him all through the wait, but I stayed by his side anyway ^^ it wasn't like I had much to do at that point anyway. when he finally got in, we took a drink and decided on what we wanted to do. we took the tour through the con to see where everything was this year. not much had changed since last year, just the wardrobe was someplace different. after that we.. *checks in Silver's post* ah yes, we went to see some episodes of Utawarerumono (Utaware for short hehe) I really liked it ^^ so I'll be looking out for a DVDbox from that in the future (I just hate accumulating series one DVD at a time ^^') after that we went to eat. there was a Japanese buffet this time, so I didn't have to live off fries for a full weekend *laughs* so I had rice with beef teriyaki, very yummy ^^ after dinner I wanted to check out the Anime Quiz. damn, did I ever fail that one *laughs* but then again, I didn't expect anything else with the questions they asked.. but we did sure have a good laugh about the weird questions and answers. after the Quiz it was time for that yummy Dealer Room ^^ I actually didn't have to stand in line because I was gophering, but since Silver did have to wait, I waited with him (the entire weekend >_< you HAVE to gopher too next year honey!) when we finally got in, I spend a lot of money, but not my entire budget for the weekend ^^ I'll list my loot later on. after that, we headed to a video room to check out Comic Party Revolution which was really funny ^^ Silver-sama beat me to buying the DVDs of that, but once again, I'll wait for a box *laughs* I did get the first series: Comic Party. we wanted to take the bus back to the hotel at 12.30 am.. but that one didn't show up *laughs* I was so tired, it just wasn't funny anymore >_< when the bus finally did show up an hour later, it couldn't leave anymore because a car was in the way.. so some of the staff had to get the owner of the car out of bed (I tell you, he wasn't happy *laughs* oh well, he wasn't supposed to park there anyway) and then we could finally get back to the hotel. by the time we were there, got settled in (that's more for me, since Silver already had time to do that before in the afternoon) and got to sleep, it was around 3 am and the alarm went off at 6 am.. saturday. as Silver finally learned this weekend (about time after four years *laughs*) I am NOT a morning person ^^" I had a gophering shift at 8.30 and we needed breakfast and we had to get to the hotel. in order to really wake up, Silver took a shower while I turned around again.. when he was done, he basically had to kick me out of bed in order to get me under the shower ^^" once I was done, it was 7 and time for breakfast. I thought a bus to the Con grounds was coming at 7.30, but it turned out that it only went on 7 and then at 9 >_< so Silver-sama had to drive me to the Con again ^^' once there, I had a lot of time to relax and head to the Main Desk where my shift would be. the ones who had the shift before me were fighting with the printer, trying to get Go-manuals printed out.. I helped out and after that my shift started. pretty cool, I was just needed to scan tickets for full-weekend visitors, sell saturday tickets and print them out and sell taxi vouchers (for the bus to the other hotel). it was fun to do and I got to talk with a fairly young girl (slightly older than me) who was part of the J-Pop staff (the organisors) and other gophers. around 10.15, Silver came by to wait till my shift ended and he got to see me and others fight with the printer yet again.. it kept remembering which tickets got printed and printed them again at every new ticket (going from one to two to three to four to five etc) when that was solved, my shift was over and I headed out with Silver to.. *checks his post again* we drank something and then headed out to see Black Cat. it was good, but somehow just not my kind of series.. Silver liked it though ^^ after that a quick lunch. and then, in the line for the Dealer Room again (the good stuff comes out on saturday) after spending even more money, we headed to see Kirameki Project, which was funny and interesting ^^ I mean, I giant Mech in the form of a cute little girl? it was pretty cool. then it was dinner time again (rice with curry this time ^^) and after that we went to the Main Desk again, where my next shift was going to start in about 30 minutes. a huge screen was set up to show the Cosplay Competition so that people who couldn't get into the room were able to see it too. it was horrible >_< I mean, there were maybe one of two acts that were actually rehearsed.. it was sad to see it and even sadder that I was SUPPOSED to sit there during the whole event cause of my shift ^^' but I survived, with help of the sarcasm of other gophers *laughs* after the event, Silver headed off to watch 'Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo' (the girl who lept through time) I wanted to see it too, but my shift lasted for about two more hours.. so I missed it, but I will be looking out for the DVD. during the last half hour of my shift (I posted then too) things got pretty quiet. but then I was asked if anyone in that room had a portophone since the steward who was there had to leave for the Karaoke room.. we didn't have one and I couldn't go to the GopherLounge to get one, cause I couldn't leave the desk.. so one of the others got one for me and I just figured I wouldn't have to use it in that last half hour (I'm scared to death to use things like intercoms or portophones >_< ) for fifteen minutes, everything was fine, but then, all of a sudden I was asked to call security cause someone had fallen and cut her leg ^^" I barely survived that, since of course right at that moment, people came to buy taxi vouchers and ask questions and it was hard to understand what was being said through the portophone ^^" but it all turned out fine ^^ after my shift, I was thinking about going to see Ergo Proxi, since it was recommended to me by a member of the staff, but I decided that it would be better to head back to the hotel. Silver and me had some great fun there ^^ get your minds out of the gutter! we were unpacking our newly bought stuff ^^ after that we did have that other kind of fun.. I mean, just the two of us in a hotel room.. it had to happen eventually ^_~ but I'm otaku first, lover later *laughs* sunday ^^ a night of good rest for a change ^^ dah, I was tired as hell after.. well, everything we packed our stuff and got everything into the car, cause we had to check out of the room before we headed to the Con again. then it was time for breakfast ^^ after that, Silver checked us out and we waited for the bus. we got to the Con at around 9.20 and I wanted to see Di Gi Charat, Nyo at 10 (it was so funny and chaotic and I loved it ^^ hence the new theme, like? the song is "Hip Hop Vegetable" so funny and cute ^^) but before it started, we got to see two episodes of Solty Rei, which was really funny ^^ I liked it a lot and will also be looking for DVDs from that ^^ on saturday, one of the staff asked me if I wanted to fill in for one of the six gopher who didn't show up. this one no-show had to get people to fill in a survey.. and I said yes >_< imagine that, me, volunteering to ask people if they want to fill in a survey (questionnair!) but it wasn't half bad actually ^^ the people were nice and willing to co-operate (since most of them were waiting for the bus or a ride home anyway) I got to have some nice talks with the people and I got all the surveys filled in pretty fast. (of course, the Winry outfit and my charming *cough* smile helped a lot *laughs*) then Silver (who had wandered off to spend money again) and me had something to eat and then we headed to the Dealer Room again YAY ^^ some last-day shopping and then I was really broke.. Silver got me a lot of stuff too ^^ after that it was time to check out the closing ceremony, which was short ^^" and then we watched an episode of Angel Heart, which was pretty interesting ^^ really a series with deeper thoughts behind it ^^ then it was time to get our bag, say goodbye and head to the hotel to get the car. and so ended our lovely weekend at the Anime Con. but I will not let you guys go like that! *snickers* quick summary of the rest of sunday: we ate at McDonalds, went home, unpacked all of our goodies (mostly figurines hehe), watched Bones and Law and Order SVU and then Silver had to take me home. cosplay pictures!!! check out the cosplay section of my portfolio for bigger ones ^^ list of what I bought/Silver bought for me (this includes an order we already placed but picked up at the Con)!!

   Getting ready to disappear again...

hey guys *hugs to you all* sorry for my extreme suckyness in being a friend this (and last) week.. it has just been horrible to me.. I've been just so completely tired, it's not funny anymore.. yesterday I popped two sleeping pills and even that didn't get me a full night of sleep. on top of all that, I'm sorta sick.. I just haven't been feeling like myself lately, I guess.. I feel really bad for not commenting, but I do want you all to know that I did read pretty much all posts ^^ that's at least something right? I don't want to leave this place, but I don't want to go on like this either. I can't keep posting without commenting to my friends.. it's just not right. so my apologies to everyone *bows* _o_ I'll try to get back into the swing of things next week. promise! ok, so this weekend is the long awaited Anime Convention. can't wait! even though my mom keeps telling me not to buy too much. I think I'll ignore her for a change. yeah, screw that, I'll buy whatever I want. speaking of which. I need advice. yep, I really do.. I'm looking for a series I haven't seen yet that sounds good enough to buy and be a boxset at the same time. bring on the recommendations!!! I mean, I want to buy Comic Party already and maybe even the DearS boxset.. but I also want something that's just new to me.. or maybe I'll just completely ignore everything you guys say and go with my own ideas, but then again, I think some of you know some very good anime that I don't know of.. so please give me some ideas? *puppy eyes* pwetty pwease? as you can see the piccies of today are rather random and I've left them big.. why is that, you ask? cause these are a few of my personal favorites hehe ^^ I just love them ^^ this one is for Silver-sama, I'm sure it will make him rofl tee-hee. (inside joke from the weekend ^^) I'm supposed to be putting together an english presentation for tomorrow.. I'd better get to that rather soon than later, so that I can get back to sleep.. but then again, I don't really feel like it *laughs* YEAH!! what the kitty said hehe ^^ oh and thank you all for the positive feedback on my theme ^^ it is indeed rather bright and I don't think I"ll keep it up for very long.. I just liked the Kodama enough to give them their fifteen minutes of fame on my site ^^ ok, maybe I really do need to go ahead and make that presentation >_< I'll leave you all with some more kitty (and others) pictures to make up for my absence. I probably won't be around until after the con, I'm rather busy tomorrow.. have a wonderful rest of the week/weekend everyone and take care!! *lots of hugs* these and so many more absolutely cute piccies can be found on I Can Has Cheezburger (ICHC) much clown love, I'm outti!
