   Hail the Chinese people, for they are the ones who invented their food!!

hello peoples!!! oof.. I sure was busy yesterday morning and a bit of the afternoon... but let's start with friday shall we? it was a good day, after screwing up my portugese midterm, I spend the first free time of my spring break (well, I think you can all guess it...), yes, sleeping -_-' other than that, I didn't do much besides watch tv and read some manga. and yesterday.. well, just to give an impression of how tired I was around 6pm.. fridaynight, I went to sleep around 2 am, saturday morning I was woken up at 8.30 am to go grocery shopping with my dad. which I must say is pretty much an impossible task.. seeing that my dad stops at almost every product on sale and asks if we need it.. plus, he's just distracted very fast and he has no sense of direction when it comes to shopping.. if we would've taken his route to get all the stuff we needed, we'd still be wandering through the stores... after that we went to a garden centre (or actually two because we couldn't find what we needed at the first) to buy some new waterplants for my aquarium. and since we were there anyway, I got a new male black molly, seeing that my other one died recently, and I didn't like the idea of my female one being all alone.. it's so much fun to ask those nice guys for their help.. then seeing them try to make an impression on you by making the most stupid jokes you've ever heard that make you wonder: "maybe they're not able to hear themselves speak.." for example, I asked this (probably seventeen year old) bloke to get me a male black molly and what does he say? shall we take one of the black ones? *slaps own face and drags hand down slowly* what kind of sentence it that?! of course I want a black one, if I didn't I would've asked for a goldfish or something!! ow well, I'm a nice, polite, little girl *holds hands in front of horns so no one can see them*, so I decided to go with it by saying: "yes, I'd like that, cause then it will fit in nicely with the one I already have." after all that, when we were headed for the register, we passed by the rabbits.. so I decided to annoy my dad by asking if we could take one with us (we used to have rabbits, but we haven't had one for a long time and I would like one again.. unfortunately, my parents don't) "aw dad.. can we take a rabbit?" 'no we can't.' "but why not, we're here now anyway?" and that sentence put a smile on the face of the guy we were just passing.. I decided to give him one of my weirdest funniest looks to show that I wasn't really begging for a rabbit and then a nice smile to top it off ^_^ I know, I'm very weird... after finally getting home, I started to drain my aquarium (I don't have a filter for it, so I have to clean it every once in a while) but when I was halfway done, I realised that I hadn't bought a new bag against the green stuff that gets into aquariums after a while *kicks dictionary for not having the dutch to english translation for "alg"*. so I asked my dad to go ahead with taking the thing downstairs (I had to clean it in the kitchen, like I always do, but the thing is pretty heavy..) while I go and get that bag from the store.. when I got back, I heard the microwave was on.. so my first reaction was:"what the hell did they put in the microwave?" as it turned out when I entered the kitchen, my dad was microwaving the pebbles from the bottom of my aquarium... O_o 'why?' you ask? simple, to kill the snails that ruin my waterplants all the time ^_^' after that, my dad stuck around to 'help' me. when my dad helps me, he pretty much walks in the way and gives me critique on how I do things.. I know he means well, but eventually I just wanted to yell at him to 'get the hell away from me and let me do my work!!' but I didn't ^_^ YAY for self control ^_^ and after finally getting done with cleaning my aquarium, it was time to get the fish back in.. well, that sounds a lot easier that it really is actually.. my guppies and black molly and the striped fish I don't know the name of went in pretty easy. but then it was time for my "alg"-eater thingy (yup, still don't know the right word hehe) to go in.. this is my biggest fish and he's hell to catch, but he actually got into the net pretty quickly.. and then I got to the hardest part of cleaning my aquarium.. I had to get my snake-fish to go back in.. yes, I have snake-fish and I love them ^_^ they're like little coloured eels ^_^ but they're fast as light and slippery and thin, so they keep getting through the tiny spaces between the net and the bucket they were in.. so finally, with use of my hands and lots of "sorry, I hope I didn't hurt you little fishy.."'s I got them both in after well.. I think it was about twenty minutes to half an hour..(it's easier to get them out of the tank, because they live in this seashell I put in it, so all I have to do is pick up the shell with the net and drop it in the bucket, turn it upside down and the fish are out without a problem) and after all that, I still wasn't done yet.. I quickly posted, because I really wanted to use that greeting ^_^ then we ate lunch (this was the first time that I actually sat down after getting up yesterday and it was the first thing I ate.. beside a cookie that is) and then I cleaned the fish bowl of the little fish.. I actually put five of them in with the big fish, cause they were getting pretty big themselves already. and just when I was finishing up on all this, my BF came to pick me up.. I spend almost an hour looking things up to take with me while screaming "chaos"(I like doing that when I'm really busy, and I have to say, I really enjoy that chaos ^_^) when we finally got into the car, we drove straight through to the city, cause I had the urge to shop again.. (I really need to surpress those feelings, cause I'm pretty much broke..) I bought Ranma 1/2 manga volume 33 and a cd of The Who for myself and my BF bought me: Trigun DVD 6 Fruits Basket manga volume 13 (even though I'm still at volume 6 with reading hehe) and Please (Onegai) Teacher DVD 2 (now all I need are the first and third DVD to complete my collection ^_^) but I swore I will pay him back for the Please Teacher ^_^ and to make sure both of us wouldn't forget, we made a nice I.O.U for him back home, including the tickets for the Anime Con and the costs for the hotel we will be staying at. our order of manga also came in last week, so I was able to go home with all the stuff we bought and: Ranma 1/2 manga volume 5 and 26(I did own a copy of volume 5 already, but it was a misprint.. it jumps from page 112 to page 145.. from there it just continues the story to page 160 and then it jumps to page 129 and then just continues the story to the end..as you can see, I was missing a few pages and the story makes no sense whatsoever like this) Fruits Basket manga volume 6 and 7 Full Metal Panic manga volume 1 and 2 plus, I borrowed volume 12, 13 and 14 of Inuyasha from my BF ^_^ so at least I'll have something to do the coming week ^_^ after the shopping we got home around 5.30 pm and I was finally able to sit down and relax.. my feet were so tired and I was exhausted.. but we had to go get food ^_^ which I didn't really mind, cause we were having Chinese Food again ^_^ I love it so badly ^_^ and after that we just watched tv and relaxed.. he is going to order me some POCKY!!! (yes you will, you promised muahahaha!!!) I can't wait to try it hehe ^_^ *takes a deep breath* there, that was all I wanted to tell you guys I think..ow no, I found out that my mom is going to stay home sick the coming week too.. I hate it, I don't want to be stuck at home with her for a whole week(usually she works every morning, so I got the house to myself) ow well, I'll just stay in my room and out of her lign of sight and I should be fine, if I don't survive.. I love you all *overly dramatic hugs for everyone* *thinks* yup that's really all I wanted to say ^_^ I'll go look for the greeting of the day now ^_^ I just thought it was funny ^_^ and I spend almost 45 minutes writing this post, so I wasn't really feeling like going through e-card for half an hour ^_^ I'll try to visit some sites today, but I can't promise anything, since my BF is coming around later today, so we'll behanging out and I won't be on my laptop for a change hehe ^_^ I'm outta here
