   Failure is just succes rounded down, my friend!

hey guys! hope you are all doing well and had good weekends ^^ mine was very good, seeing how it was spent with Silver-sama and at work like usual. also, Silver came by on friday and we had a little shopping-spree and then a movie night ^^ much fun for me ^^ (and him for that matter ^^") lets start with friday then, shall we? in the morning I had a lecture about Art History, which turned out to be more interesting and fun than I thought it would be. when that was over and I headed home, I let Silver know that I was on my way and he came over to my place. I just beat him there hehe ^^ then we went around the shops in my town, cause Silver still hadn't really seen the new mall. he bought me some earrings to fit with my new shirt (don't worry, Kikyo, it's a green blouse, I doubt it's what you bought for me ^^ still very curious though hehe ^^") after that we went to the big hardware store where they also happen to sell fish ^^ they got a new load of pufferfish ^^ and they're so big and round and yellow ^^ I really want to get me one again, though I'm a bit afraid that it will end up the same as my last one did.. dead within about two months.. oh well, we'll see what happens. after me drooling at the fishies (I've decided on some fish I want for my aquarium, I just didn't buy them yet) we went to the wonderful city of Rotterdam! YAY! it's only wonderful because it's got the huge bookstore and the comic shop hehe ^^" Silver-sama bought me the DVD of Night at the Museum and the box of the series Surface, which I've never seen or heard about, but it just looked too good to put away ^^" he also bought me loads of manga (two ^_~) but then again, the huge order also came in, so I'm set for a couple of weeks again ^^ I'll include a list of the new manga at the end of this post. I also bought some mangas and the bundled version of WildCATS: Battery Park. after the shopping we ate at good old MaccieD's and then headed over to the movies ^^ we were initially just going to see Rush Hour 3, but I really wanted to see 1408 too. so we decided on a double feature ^^ Rush Hour 3 was good. as to be expected from the series, lots of jokes and stuff, but I especially like the movies because of the choreography of the fights. it's like they're dancing ^^ too bad about the one-liners from Chris Tucker's side while Jackie Chan is fighting, but if you tune them out, it's soooo good to watch ^^ then came the horror that is 1408. now remember, I love horror-movies, but I usually watch them in the safety of my own home, with a light on and no surround-sound. this time, it was in the theatre, completely dark, and hearing everything around you.. man, did this movie ever scare me! I jumped up a good couple of times, making Silver jump because of my sudden movements ^^" I won't tell too much about it, but just know that this movie actually gave me nightmares. 'nuff said, you all know that it's really good now ^^ saturday was work, then I hitched a ride with my boss again and got to Silver's. we had a nice easy evening, not doing much but watch tv and going to bed early. on sunday I made some homework and we watched more tv ^^ I also slept a lot again.. I've been so tired lately.. nothing really special happened, we just enjoyed each other's company and had fun ^^ today is going to be a rough day for me.. after the exchange of some rather.. well, unfriendly emails between me and my group-members, they have decided they want to 'have a word with me'. I have no idea what to expect from them. I do know that I'm going to do something I haven't done in a very long time. I'm going to give up. I'm going to ask the teacher if it's possible for me to just flunk the project now and do a different assignment. I just can't work with those two girls. they're making highschool drama and I'm too old for that shit. besides, in my current mental state, which is being made worse by the stress caused by this whole ordeal, I don't think I'll be of much use to them. so yeah, I'll see what today brings. to end this post on a happy note, I noticed a lot of people are quite jealous of me going to Marrakech ^^" I have to admit, it's the furthest I've ever gone from home. I've been to: England, Belgium (OH MY GOSH!! I DID NOT JUST SAY THAT!!!*read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy if you don't get this*), Denmark, Finland, Sweden and France. I also have to admit that I'm lucky for living in the Netherlands in this case. it's easy and cheap to get to another country, I understand that it's quite hard to get to another country if you live in the US. but remember, some of you are going to get a nice little souvenir from me ^^ *winks to Kikyo, Yensid and Magnus, oh I almost forgot Silver ^^"* and of course I'll share the pictures I make with all of you ^^ well, I'd best end it here. I'm going to catch a little nap before getting ready for college ^^" I need all the rest I can get at the moment hehe ^^ wish me luck guys. I'll let you know how things end up ^^ your postly LOLcat: MCL, I'm outti. here's the manga list, for all to enjoy ^^ Yurara 2 My-HiME 3 School Rumble 5 and 6 XXX Holic 10 Sensual (Kaikan) Phrase 7 and 8 Chrono Crusade 5 and 6 The Outcast 1 Hana Kimi 6 and 7 Venus vs Virus 1 Loveless 6 He is my Master 2 Archlord 3 Gravitation 2 2nd Gravitation novel: Voice of Temptation 1st Full Metal Panic novel: Fighting boy meets girl DVD Adventures of the Mini-goddess: Belldandy files figurines: Lumiere and Eclaire from Kiddy Grade ^^
