It's been quite a while since I posted. Here's the news, as briefly as possible:
I'm not working steady hours at my job doing a "monster spreadsheet from HELL" and ruining my eyes with the cheap monitor. I am being paid very well however so I really can't complain. After my next paycheck I plan on going on an Akadot shopping spree. The big-ticket item will be a light table, something I've been wanting for a while.

Exams are over, school is over. Report cards come out next week. I'm worried about my grades, but we'll see. Things may turn out okay after all. I found out the summer reading day book duscussion of The Princess Bride will be led by my idiot of a lit. teacher, Mrs. Pullen. I hope she has another baby and can't come. -_- I counted 14 grammatical/typing errors on the lit. exam, which she wrote, two of which were in the grammar section. Just pathetic.

I got some new pen nibs yesterday and I am quite excited. It's weird how such little things cheer me up. I like pen nibs though. :3

My mom, my friend Ashley and I all went to my dad's performance of Princess Ida last night. It was quite hilarious. Clyde looked far too good in that dress of his, far more than a man should. >_> It was really nice seeing Ashley again. She's lots of fun.

My birthday is on Tuesday and I'm having a little get-together, me and Lisa and Ashley. We'll play DDR and order pizza and basically goof off in an unorganized manner. For my actual party, however, I will have a big pirate-themed sleepover in early July. I figured it should be something special since it will be my "sweet sixteen", and I've been in a piratical mood lately. It shall be great fun for all.

Last of all, I am still eagerly awaiting Otakon. It keeps sounding better and better. I'll have lots of money to spend by that point, Ashley will be coming, and possibly Exo and maybe even Elgie from California. I hope they can come. I need to get Exo some kitty ears. =^.^= Blue ones! And Ashley will be cosplaying as Kikyo if we can make the costume; we have a miko clothing pattern already and it shouldn't be too complicated. Elgie will cosplay as grown-up Al if she comes. With any luck I will be able to egg Exo into going as Daito. Hint hint! We shall be very mismatched: Furuba (me as Mine again), Inuyasha, YGO GX, and Hagaren (that's FMA to you English-speakers *show off*). Ah well, that will make it all the more fun.

That was pretty brief for several weeks' worth of news, right? I have high hopes for the summer. I need to brush up on my Japanese, or at least re-memorize hiragana. Sadly kana is not like riding a bike. You do forget if you don't practice. Bleh. SO! If anyone wants to say hi to Yukie, our exchange student coming in August, tell me. She's so cute. >.<

Time to go turn on my paging file again...
