   fun day...
Today my friend sophie came to visit from Jersey. We don't get to see her much since she lives like an hour away, but when she comes we always have a lot of fun. Mike and I went to meet her at the front door and he just gave her this big hug and spun her around in a big circle. It makes me happy to see them being so silly and happy like that. Then she 'threatened me with affection' and gave me a little hug too. I guess I don't mind it so much anymore, but I still make a fuss, for sake of tradition. We went to the mall so they could see the new star wars movie. Freak that I am, I don't really like star wars, so I went around doing errands while they were there. I had to go to the craft shop to get some more black pencils, I go through those way too fast, and I picked up a new kneaded rubber eraser too, mine was almost done for, so it was a good idea. Then I had to go to one of those accessory shops (I dread them in all their frilly girliness...hehe) because my hair is too damn soft for elastics and scrunchies to really hold them, so I bought a few butterfly clips and chopsticks, they'll actually keep my hair in one place all day. I try headbands sometimes, but my hair flies in my face and irritates me, and I'm too lazy to keep it short, sooo hair bobbles. After that I checked out the new Japanse Bookstore, it's my new happy place. I spent a lot more money there than I should have! But that all only killed about an hour and a half or so, and I wore my flip flops instead of regular shoes, which made my feet hurt, so I went to the food court for the rest of the time and drew and read one of my new manga. I totally had to limp back to the car, and since the mall is always PACKED on the weekends (and during the week actually, around here it's the closest place to get EVERYTHING, so it can't be helped), we were parked really far away, and I stepped in gum and had to sacrifice one of my pencils to rid myself of it. Grr. It was a new pencil too! By that time it was like 8, since we took like an hour to eat...the japanese food place at the mall has the BEST teriyaki chicken, so I have to buy some, and chicken dumplings, everytime I go. They're udon is really good too, and the miso...haha, it's a real dilemma picking food there. Anyway, so by the time we got home it was like 8:30, so after searching for tekken 5 for twenty minutes or so, which I gave up on *wonders where she put it*, sophie left. It was a fun day, even if half of it was spent doing things I don't really like to do. Errands irritate me, like going to the craft store (because it's a crappy craft store, but the other one in my area is a 45 minute drive!), and getting accessories....I'm really not a shopper. I do it all really fast to get out of the store as quickly as possible! But it was still nice. I can't wait to save up some money so that the three of us can move to Albany together and I get to watch them banter and laugh all the time. Well, I'll probably never be a person who can throw myself into the random silliness and stuff like that, but it still makes me really happy to be around my friends who don't mind that I'm like that, and watching them makes me smile. I guess even a stubborn and independent person likes me has to have SOME people they depend upon, after all. But the day was so short! I wanted it to be longer! It felt like I only got to see sophie for like ten minutes before she left. Bah! We probably won't get to see each other for another three months now! And next week I have to go to my parents' house...ugh...well, maybe mom and I can catch a movie though. I hope something good is playing.
