O_o;; my thing with updating everyday's kinda... not working. lately i've been staying out till late and when i get home, i just collapse into my bed till the next morning.

friday: went out with heidi and gaki and jack and tom and roy to golfland for heidi's bday. games. whoop. then it was over to in-&-out, where we had fun making fun of jack~ ^_^ tehe~ and tom and roy were idiots cuz they were high or drunk or something that night, i dunno, but it really pissed me and heidi off. those two left early. i dun blame them, they didn't seem to be having fun... so yes, went to jack's house after that to see his dog. she's soooo cute! ;_; pooka, ne? after that i dropped off gaki at her house, went to mitsuwa so heidi could get her car, and then went back to jack's house.

saturday: came home around 10 in the morning so my mom wouldn't call heidi's house to see "what time i was coming home". that woulda been bad. cuz i wasn't at heidi's house, which is where mom thought i was. so yeah, got home around 10ish, and then went out with heidi at 1 to run some errands. came home for a bit, and then it was back out for another bday celebration at 6:30. went to chili's for dinner (had fun XD), and then back to heidi's house to just play around~ i played 1/5 a game of pool before my parents told me i had to be home by 10. dammit. so i got home early cuz i was irritated and didn't want to dampen the mood at the party.

i wanted to clear somethings up online, so i waited for my brother to finish using aol. well... i planned on being back online at 10:45. but. i fell asleep at 10:15 or something, and woke up around 12something. smaaaart. but i did kinda sorta get some things cleared up. not really sure. i was seriously half sleeping when i got online. ::haa::

as for today? dun really have anything planned. i have to get my graphic design for rop done cuz i haven't started on the final, and i have hw to get done, too. i also gotta go pick up my brother from church later today, i dunno when. sucks. i dun wanna do anythinggggggg ;_; i just wanna lie around and stuffffff... hauuuuu....

|| Friday, September 14, 2001 || 6:20 p.m. ||
sup yo! normal day at school except something with heidi. ::haa:: =_= what am i gunna do about that girl? no, nothing bad happened. other than that, it was a boring typical day. and tonight, i'm gunna go out to dinner with heidi and some other people for her bday~ ^_^ won't be back till tomorrow, so yeah =D tomorrow i'm gunna go shopping~ ^_^ happyhappy~~

|| Thursday, September 13, 2001 || 6:10 p.m. ||
yoho~ typical day- school, rop. and then i went to mitsuwa cuz i had to get a buncha boxes for connie and i needed some for myself, too. and today's thursday, which means they'll all be stocking the shelves and that means lots of extra empty lovely boxes! yay! so i got 4 of them and matt helped me carry them all to my car ^_^ i got some junkfood, too~ 2 yanyan, 1 box of sylvene (choco cake), a mocha swiss roll, and 1 milk tea~ i got a bag of konpeito and boro the other day, too~ good stuff, yep! matt and abel and tom-boss and elodio and salvador were there~ noriko and saiku got mad about my skirt...;; i dun work there anymore, so it shouldn't really make a difference as long as i'm not working, RIGHT?! grrr...

haa... man... so drained of energy.. only got 5 hours of sleep as opposed to yesterday's 12 hours. i'm gunna sleep at 9 or something tonight... get my hw done asap, and then go fold laundry.. oh wait.. there's dinner. i gotta eat dinner, too... uhh... ok, i'm gunna sleep at 10.

|| Wednesday, September 12, 2001 || 5:18 p.m. ||
ok, pitas wasn't working last night so i couldn't update. sorry to those who were dying of boredom and usually turn to my life for help. =_= not that it's much more interesting than anything else... ANYWAY!

ok, so yesterday, yes, there's that whole world trade center thing and the pentagon thing and yeah. it was a big mess and everyone's not feeling good with a few exceptions to those that were celebrating in pakistan or something like that. my parents made me- they MADE me- sit in front of the tv and watch bush's address to the nation. UGH! they know i couldn't care less about politics. it's such boring stuff and i know the importance of it all but it doesn't interest me. :;haa:: oh well, at least it was so short i couldn't fall asleep before it was over. THAT woulda been bad.

as for today, not much happened. went to my school, then went to mv for rop. i saw robert and it made me so happy i ran up and hugged him ^^; i guess i just realized i hadn't seen him him in forever ^^;;; so yes~ i get to see all my beloved friends every day now~ i dunno about fridays, though... i met the first "queer little bitch" of rop- she seems to flirt with almost every guy she sees. maa, i'm flirty but not like THAT. >_< ugh...

connie, you left your candy for your sister at my house. i threw away the old curry cuz it went bad. >_< naturally... but yeah, i'll give you your candy sometime this week. =P

gaki, we should race sometime. ^_^

kaijuu, give jack his hugs and you can have your cds back. make his life better =_= che.

|| Monday, September 10, 2001 || 5:53 p.m. ||
munyahaha!! i'm going to mv for rop starting today~ =D ieii! gaki, kaijuu, and kenji are in that class~ =D mr post is really cool, too! gaki sat there with her face glued to her laptop the whole time i was there =_= kaijuu and kenji were doing hw. i saw michelle and an old shiriai from way back when i used to go to church. ^^ howe was there, too! it was pretty cool~ ^^

on the down side- my schedule had changed so i can get outta school after 6th period so i can make it to mv by 2:30. well.... in place, my psychology class had been moved to 1st period. which. i slept right through. i had TOTALLY forgotten my 6th period would be moved to 1st, therefore, i didn't even know i had class until i saw my schedule. which was... right before 2nd started. ::haa:: wonderful. and robert's in 4 of my classes now! >_< he's gunna harrass me someone help meeee!!!

oh yes, is there anything too hard about signing a permission form to go to a class off campus? i dun get it, my mom seems to find difficulty in doing that. i asked her to sign the rop permission form so i could go, and instead of just reading it for herself and saying ok, she has to drill me about it and then yell at me. what's it for? why's it at mv? do you get credit for it? why is there a carpool form?? so that means you have to go to philana's house and stephanie's house to pick them up?? i don't want you driving everyone to their houses mirae!!! can you get credit for taking this class?? what do you mean, you don't know?! you can't just tell these things to colleges without proof!!

... it WAS a good day.

damn that woman. everytime i think something good happens and tell her about it, instead of saying "wow, that's good!", she has to go off bitching at it and make it less enjoyable. what the hell's her problem? why does she have to make everything look so bad?? i want out..

|| Sunday, September 9, 2001 || 9:44 p.m. ||
went out with connie all day today~ she spent the night last night and we woke up around 10:30 when mamo-chan and my bro started throwing chopsticks at my door. ~_~ idiots... so yeah, mamo-chan and bro went out for breakfast since they were hungry, and me and connie weren't so they went ahead. we went to mitsuwa for lunch and had a nice talk about the most random things. it was fun~ then we went to vallco for some ddr. connie..;;; you need to work on your eye-foot coordination! >_< then it was that one chinese bakery place for shaved ice, and they have mangos now! =D it was hellllla good!! i think i'll go sometime this week. then it was back home where i found that mamo-chan went home already. we watched macross plus, which i must say, is a pretttttty good show, and then yami no matsuei~ i. want. a. 2-vcr. hookup.

after that? connie went home and i lounged around for a few minutes, and then did my homework. yes, i did my homework. and i wasn't too unhappy about doing it, either. this is what i call "gakkou yaruki". tomorrow i need to go to mv after school and get a note from mr post, and a permission form signed by my parents that it's ok to drop psychology.

i got the distance utada hikaru cd at kinos today. it's a good cd- i think i'm getting into pop again. i haven't been into pop since 6th grade. wow... oh yeah, i gotta get the macross plus osts. it's sooo good. and yoko kanno... ::drool:: her music's the best, i worship her!

|| Friday, September 7, 2001 || 10:02 p.m. ||
aaaaah, so much happened! where to start where to start! ok... chronological order! let's see.. went to safeway to get some food since there was nothing my stomach would take so early in the morning at home. i was a minute late to class..;;; after that the day went pretty normal.

OH! counselor and registrar said they'd make an exception to my schedule change and said they'd let me drop psychology and move my english to 6th period so i can take ROP at MV. ^_^ as long as i get written permission from mr. post that i can be in his class and he signs this thingie every week saying that i was there every day, my school will let me take classes at MV, whether i get credits or not~ XD and they said it doesn't matter cuz i don't need the credits anyway ^_^ so i gotta go to MV on monday after school and talk to mr post. someone meet me out at the bus circle please! ;_; i dunno my way around the place!

i had my first quiz of the year. physics. lovely. actually, it wasn't so lovely, i dun think i did too well on it cuz i HATE vectors!!! >_< so yes... after school i hung out with connie. we went to mitsuwa to pick up my paycheck. i got a lot more than i anticipated. o_O;; went to bank, barnes&nobles, and cupertino village to eat. ^_^ it was good stuff! i gotta say.... sometimes not knowing what your eating is a GOOD thing! but it wasn't that bad~ =P then we went to office max and i got 3 shelves, a lamp, and cd rack. it was cool~ dresser and closet need some serious cleaning jobs. my room's a bit more organized though~ =D

connie came over for a bit to watch ai no kusabi, and also cuz i had to be home by a certain time. ^^;; so it worked out nicely~ she reeeeally likes ai no kusabi ^_^ i like it too~~~~ <3 yaoi's such a wonderful thing~ <3 <3 <3 <3 and she let me borrow one of her manga ::hehehehee:: hellllla nice art!! XD pretty pretty guys~ <3

|| Thursday, September 6, 2001 || 10:54 p.m. ||

|| Wednesday, September 5, 2001 || 7:38 p.m. ||
i woke up to the sound of voices. 2 male voices. outside my door. and they were LOUD. brother and one of his gimp friends came for some unknown reason just to leave about 5 minutes later. ok... so i tried going back to sleep and woke up to the sound of 2 male voices again. only... they hadn't gone through puberty, yet. and they were screaming at each other. wonderful. neighbors suck sometimes. i shut the window, and tried going back to sleep. didn't work. ...great. i went downstairs to find food. nothing in the kitchen... let's check the fridge in the garage and see if there's anything in there.

went into garage.

..................

::blink blink::

why............. is there an SUV in my garage....??

it appears that my mom's car is in the shop. i asked her why is there an SUV in our garage..? "my car's in the shop" ...ok... and what'd you do to it? ".......it's not what i did to the car, mirae. it's what the car did to itself" ..........::thinking "thas the stupidest thing i've ever heard":: right mom... so what's wrong with it? "it has some sort of engine problem" ...ok...

lasange. is good stuff.

|| Wednesday, September 5, 2001 || 4:58 p.m. ||
i think i just got better at button mashing. isn't that great? so yeah, i had my school pic taken and then i came home right after. i'm sleepy.. i'm gunna take a nap before i do my hw... so i think i'll sleep till about 9 or so. oh yeah, gotta tell parents that i'm "going to cogswell" on saturday. yay. sleepy... i'll update again later when my mind's semi-functional.

the tea i had earlier must be taking effect cuz i'm not sleepy yet. oh! kaijuu helped me figure out what i should do about work on saturday~ XD i'm gunna tell my parents that i'm going to visit the cogswell campus for a day with kenji! =D he's covering for me as long as i make an attempt to change my schedule at school so i can at least go to ROP at MV for more than 30 mins =_=; and i'm 99% sure that my parents'll go for it cuz my dad's the one that told me "yeah, it'd be a good idea for you to go over there with your friends and visit the campus" and i was like ok, i'll think about that~ as for my mom...;; well.. it's my possible future college, so she should be ok with it cuz i'm gunna apply to cogswell =P so yeah~ weekend all set~

and mamo-chan's coming over this weekend, too~ =D he'll be hanging out with my brother so they should be ok without my being around. ^_^ if not, then i'll play with them when i get home from "campus visiting"! and this saturday's my last day of work so i'm gunna be very sad ;_; at least i can still go in to visit~ just... not every other day =P mebe once or twice a week ^_^ let's just hope i make it through the rest of the week alive for starters! >_< sore ja!

|| Tuesday, September 4, 2001 || 7:41 p.m. ||
whoa, it's tuesday o_O; for some reason it feels like a wednesday...;; went to barnes & nobles to get 'sophie's world' and then to mitsuwa to visit and cuz i had a really strong craving for milk tea. i talked with tom-aniki in the break room and noriko got mad at me cuz elodio and guys from the fish department were in there just hanging around and she said they were slacking off cuz of me. ...i didn't do anything though..;; just talking to tom. and elodio was on his break, so i was talking to him for a bit. maa, it doesn't matter to me. i need to cut down on how much i go there anyway. =P

= trig: assignment 3, half of assignment 4
= japanese: 19.1 flashcards, KP p20-28
= physics: vectors worksheet, text p18 #6-7, tissue box
= government: talk show prep
= psychology: psych articles paragraphs
= english: read sections 1-2 of 'sophie's world', "why should philosophy be studied" paragraph, list of ?'s from "sophie's world" sections 1-2

i estimate that to be about 4 hours worth right there. aside from homework, i have new mp3s to organize, a room to clean, a shower to take, dinner to eat, and sleep to get. i get to sleep till 8:50 tomorrow. nice. goal: 7+ hours of sleep tonight! XD ieiii!

|| Monday, September 3, 2001 || 8:12 p.m. ||
WAHO!! house to myself and noone to bug me!! XD parents are in frisko with family friends and brother's at a friend's house!

i went to mitsuwa with kaijuu today~ and then we got some shaved ice at this one chinese store by joanne fabrics, and then i spent some time at kaijuu's house~ oh! we took a buncha pictures with her brother's webcam and it was fun! XD link to all the pics: http://www.geocities.com/serakix05/albys-room. XD happy times~ and i borrowed a buncha cds and some videos and had fun with all of them~ XD so now i'm sitting here being really unproductive and feeling kinda crappy about it cuz i have things that are due tomorrow and i haven't even started some of them. ^^;;; yabaii...

|| Sunday, September 2, 2001 || 11:58 p.m. ||
i went to play at mitsuwa today and went out to lunch with tom-aniki~ went to mcdonalds cuz i had a craving for a fruit-&-yogurt parfait. we had lunch, and then tom-boss made tom-aniki fix the employee womens' bathroom. with a 15-inch plunger. literally. 15 inches.
KYAHAHAHAHA!! heidi, roy, nathan and i had the best time teasing him about being in there with a tiny little plunger! XD it was sooooo funny!!!

i listened for a bit to the weird music that roy and tom likes to listen to. it's boring. what's it called... korn or something like that? heavy metal - it's boring stuff, dood. there's a rhythm and all, but you can't understand anything their saying and it's the same thing over and over for about 4 minutes. and for some reason they think it would freak me out. music... doesn't freak me out. pictures... don't freak me out. movies... don't freak me out. i still have yet to find a movie that keeps me from sleeping at night. THAT is what i would call a good movie.

around 7ish, i went to chanda's house to work on a gov project. it wasn't too bad. ^^ arnold was being a funny boy; half breaking chanda's chair, falling OFF her chair, acting all tame when ting called... it's like WHOA. and i watched cable tv for the first time in like... months. pretty interesting. OH YEAH, i rented 'the silence of the lambs'~ it's a pretty good movie. my parents were telling me like "oh, be careful, that's some heavy stuff there" and i'm like ...isn't that what they said about 'the shining'? it wasn't even creepy. ::haa:: all is good though.

i think i'll draw something... i haven't drawn for a while now. mebe i'll scan something in~ i kinda wanna color that one angel pic i drew for david. =P and i'm gunna watch silence of the lambs again~ ^_^ and draw while i'm at it~ it gave me inspiration, you'll see what kind. =D sore ja!

|| Saturday, September 1, 2001 || 10:40 p.m. ||
it was a good day. i went to work and i had fun. abel was his usual sweet self, tom was being weird, matt was cool and counted my credit cards, eric s was being funny and mike was being funny too. it was a good day.

until i got home. mom bitched at me about how late i came home even though i called saying i would be later than expected. then she bitched at me about college. so yes, both my parents now know that i don't want to go to a UC. thank god. they took it pretty well. ... actually, my dad did. my mom just thought going to a private art college was an excuse for not going to a "real" school cuz she thinks i'm "not good enough to go to a real college and just looking for a way out of studying". well, i'm sorry if i'm not the perfect daughter that "all their friends have". they're the ones that messed up in raising me. obviously, if i were the perfect daughter, i would come home on time, never talk back, listen to everything they say, CARE about everything they say, get straight a's, want to be some sort of doctor, go to a school like stanford, and make tons of money. but no, i don't come home on time, i talk back, i don't listen to everything they say, i don't CARE about everything they say, i don't get good grades, i don't want to be a friggin doctor, i don't want to go to a UC, and i won't make tons of money. an artist. apparently, my parents don't think an artist in the family is a good thing. oh well. not like i care.

know what? as soon as i turn 18, i'm gunna move out and change my name and have my car insurance transferred to my name. isn't that lovely? i'm gunna be independent when i'm not ready to be. wonderful. let's see how long i survive.

|| Friday, August 31, 2001 || 6:07 p.m. ||
hello hello~~ i didn't get to change gov to econ for this semester. ::siiiigh:: i'm stuck with the people in my current class... ;_; but thas ok! cuz psych was a little better than before~ i talked with david and gary for a bit, and it was really cool cuz i'm usually uncomfortable around them cuz they're kinda distant, but yeah... i think i'm ok in that class, now. =D i wanted to draw something and david said 'draw a naked chick', and i'm like ...;;; ok...;;; so i started drawing the face, and then i didn't know where to go after that. started part of shoulders when he said 'give her wings! =D' and i'm like o_O oooh nice idea~ so i drew a nude with wings. turned out ok. ^^ and then he asked for it, so i gave it to him. =P

tomorrow's work! XD XD XD i told my dad i'm going out to lunch, shopping, and arcade with connie~ so i'm safe from 12-8! =D yattaaa!! i must reeeeally be pmsing or something cuz i'm having major mood swings. o_O;

SPEAKING of pms~ XD the psycho-lady named cindy at work was being hella funny~ XD only to me and some other people cuz we hate her guts, but yeah~ heidi, kaijuu, and i were walking around the store and went into the break room, and eric (cashier) and cindy were sitting in there and she was blabbing to him. as SOON as we walked in, she shut up and just glared at us half the time. XD she was trying to ignore us and was "reading" the newspaper. XD it was fuuuuuuunny! XD i swear that psycho really hates kaijuu and gaki and heidi and me~ <3 <3 <3 i'm sadistic so it gives me pleasure to see someone like her glaring at me and being unhappy. ^_^ and she tries to get everyone to like her by acting like us and doing things to the other workers that WE would do, and they hate her for it. and it just makes her more annoying while i find it amusing~ jealousy's such a wonderful thing >_<

i'm going to work tomorrow! =D work work work! XD XD XD WAAIIII!! <3 <3 <3 <3

|| Thursday, August 30, 2001 || 10:57 p.m. ||
today... was a good day i guess. school was the usual... my english class got switched to 7th period, and i like the people in there much better than 1st period. my gov class might get switched to econ, and that would be really really good. heidi's in 5th period econ, huh..? yay. i get 2 classes with her, then. happy.

after school i went to mitsuwa with connie to have some sushi and talk a bit. told mom we were going to west valley to do homework. it worked. so i got to see abel and matt and elodio and salvador and eric and tom-boss... it was cool. abel sorta... extended his break to 30 mins talking to me...;; the people in miyabi tei tried talking to me, too, and one of them asked about heidi a lot. ~_~ maa, i told him heidi's mine, so he can't have her. he seemed disappointed. abel was unbelievably happy when i told him that i'm working on saturday. and he made me get shopping carts with him and said weird things...;;;

and then i found something that i really didn't need to know so now i'm not feeling too good. reeeally mellowed out... and not very happy. all good. i can get over it. i gotta find out if it's true, first. ::haa:: mirae's a wreck... something good happen to me...

|| Wednesday, August 29, 2001 || 5:21 p.m. ||
i got up at 7 to work on my essay for english. i didn't have to. cuz i'm transfering to a new english class tomorrow. how stupid. i lost an hour of sleep.

hot day today. it's only the second day and i already almost fell asleep in history. i swear anything that has to do with history or government or anything like that puts me to sleep. it was the same thing at camp, too. i must really not be a history person...

lunch was out with heidi and robert to mcdonalds. it was funny- we got the food in the drive-thru and i started to drive off when heidi's like "wait! we didn't get robert's food yet!". ...oops... so robert had to go back to the window to get his food. >_< sorry robert! at least we weren't in the street already~ just a few yards away thank god.

oh yeah, psychology was interesting. we were to think of someone that matches with a certain color that the teacher said. that person has to know me, and i have to know them. according to that little "test":
yellow = stephanie = will never forget me.
orange = phil = we share a strong bond.
red = heidi = i love her.
white = abel = soul mate.
green = kenji = won't forget me as long as i live.

interesting, no? i'm not too thrilled about being told i love heidi, though. ~_~ sorry bobo, i'm interested in guys only. the 1st 3 are obvious as to why i chose them (you should see heidi when she sees red clothing- ::dash:: "it's red!!" =_=;;) but i have no idea why abel and kenji just popped into my head like that. please don't get any funny ideas, people =_=+

tonikaku.. i'm sleepy and i dun really feel like doing hw right now so i'm gunna do it later tonight at like... 8 or so. i'm gunna go nap for about an hour before my brother calls to pick him up. heh...

|| Tuesday, August 28, 2001 || 6:18 p.m. ||
tehe~ first day of school today. >_< it was ooooook... heidi was supposed to pick me up at 7:10, but she slept in so i picked her up at 7:30. =_=; all the classes were pretty much the same. intro, rules, some classes gave homework. i switched my english class so i have no 1st period which means i can sleep in till at least 8:15 every day =D rakkii~~

most of my classes are... kinda... ick. the people in them make me edgy, but i'm sure i'll get used to it. there's this one girl in a lot of them that really doesn't like me for some unknown reason.. i didn't do anything to her, either... oh well~ not like i care~ let's see... there are a lot of other people in my classes that i don't feel too comfortable around. prolly cuz they're white and the kinds that i don't really like. maa, i'm sure they have their good points. somewhere.

i finished all my homework except for this one essay in english. heidi and i went to mitsuwa to get homework done. she almost finished her math. i said hi to abel and roy and mike and salvador and elodio and masa-san and bought a drink~ gaki was working and she gave me that "iyadaaaaa!! ikanaideeeeeeee" look. ... so did abel... ;_; gomeeeen futari tomooo...

so now i'm at home... got back around 5 and i got my atm card in the mail! =D thank god i got to it before my mom. o_O now to watch out for statements... i think i'll request an address change to a friend's house or something so i don't have to worry about it so much. and it's hot. i think i'll take a cold shower in a bit. and then it's nap time. and then it's essay time. and then it's sleep time again. and then it's off to school. nn.... tomorrow i can leave the house at 9:10~ =D picking up heidi and off we go~ to another horrible day at school. ~_~ ::haa::

|| Monday, August 27, 2001 || 5:39 p.m. ||
........dead. tired. but it was fun, too~ i ran around with heidi all day and it was a good last day of summer, though it was hectic and tomorrow's the first day of school and crap. today? let's see...

slept in. was SUPPOSED to wake up at 7 and have pancakes, but me and heidi were just like... ugh! i slapped the clock quiet and we both dozed off again. it rang again. and again. at this point, mirae was getting a bit annoyed, so she turned off the alarm and couldn't go back to sleep. i took a shower while heidi still slept. like a rock.

8ish she finally got up and we went to school to get our lockers. uhh... no cave lockers for us, thank you. we'll be back in a few days...;;;; so for a while, no locker.

hungry... we had hotcake mix from work cuz it was on sale and i made some hottokeeki while she played the piano~ ^^ we ate while watching some kaitou jeanne, and then it was out to wash our cars with a hose on my gimpy driveway. >_< it was fun climbing onto heidi's hood to wipe her windshield =D suvs are cool for something~ XD after that... time to run a ton of errands.

heidi drove her car home, i picked her up, and off we went! ok, time to get some money. bank. after bank, heidi had to get her textbook but they didn't have it anymore so we went to the post office to get a package sent out. it was hot.

traffic court was... pointless... and a waste of gas. the police guy i talked to there said that my citation wasn't on record and that i was wasting my time cuz there's nothing they can do. it wasn't reported. that's a good thing! so yes... got off easy when i went 15mph over in july >_<;;

we called tom-aniki up and went to valley fair to have lunch and hang out a bit~ heidi wanted to go to stanford, but eastridge is closer (i think) and it's cheaper (it is). so yeah, we decided to go there. but then she got really sleepy by the time we got back to my car after lunch. time to go home. BUT. there's still something i gotta get done first.

mitsuwa- had to get the 2 week notice form thingy filled out. my last day of work is sept 8th. i can only work on saturdays for 6 hours tops. cuz parents might not let me stay out. ;_; and it'd be bad if they got suspicious. i know that sounds pathetic: working behind my parents' backs. oh well. i'm a loser like that. =_=; and then i had to talk to roy about something. and abel, too. got those done! XD alrighty!!

rest of the day today? i don't really know. i'm gunna clean my room and then get all my stuff together for school tomorrow since heidi's picking me up early. she and i are gunna carpool this year. tehe ^_^ and it's cool how my parents don't care about my driving people around anymore. =D well.... my mom doesn't, at least. >_< prolly cuz she realized that i could always drive people around anyway even if i said i wasn't. =_=;

it's almost time for a new pitas layout. fufu~ photoshop is good~ mebe i'll draw something for pitas. =D if i ever get around to drawing =_= i still have commissions to do! ;_; THREE of them! but thas ok~ i found that a lot of inspiration comes only when i'm in class.

and heidi's gunna be my glue-buddy this year. ;_; we need each other like it's not even funny. I LOVE YOU HEIDIIIIIIIIIII!!! .... i just realized something.. this could sound really bad. o_O;; NO, heidi and i are NOT like that! she's my sister, aka tom-aniki's sister-in-law cuz i'm his wife. gaki's my "son". ^_^ kaijuu's my fiancee while we're all at it. =D

ok... off to clean room and get stuff together and then sleep. sleeeeeepppp..... z_Z - zzzzzz....

.......... weird........ things...... happen at work. today's supposedly my last day, but i think i might go in on saturdays to work for a few hours. i think i'll tell my parents "yeah... gunna go to the mall and then arcade with so-and-so". might work. it's a weekend, nothing to do other than hang out. na? tehe. so yeah. work. interesting. won't get into too many details. heh.

so yeah... tomorrow's gunna be a busy day. wash car, go get lockers at school, go to traffic court, mitsuwa, post office.... man.. lots to do... not to mention tons of stuff to do tonight, too... gotta pick up brother, drop off gaki's bag at her house, watch hana-dan and kaitou jeanne, take shower, SLEEP... ::haaaaaaaaaaa:: ja!

|| Saturday, August 25, 2001 || 11:16 p.m. ||
man... a crap load of stuff has happened in just the past 2 days, and i can't even remember what happened. tomorrow is officially my last day of work and i prolly won't be able to get rehired when i go back. and yes, i plan on going back. it'll definitely be in march when i turn 18. free from parental rule. YESHA! but yeah... let's see.. highlights off the top of my head yesterday.

i got my new videos. hana yori dango, kaitou jeanne, ai no kusabi, zetsuai, and song of the trees and wind (or something like that). haven't watched all of kaitou jeanne yet, though. got too sleepy. slept at 5am last night. there was work. dun remember much from it...

today? not much today either. work at 10:30 and then dinner with gaki, roy, and tom. ::sigh:: we went to golfland, too, but i had to be home by 10:30 so yeah...

oh yeah, government services are stupid and useless. i tried calling the traffic court to see what i had to do about my ticket since i didn't get a courtesy notice. it seems that my citation isn't even on record. .... ok... so i called the traffic school, and they don't even have an option where i can talk to someone who works there. this is stupid. i can't even do anything cuz my friggin citation doesn't seem to exist in the computers. ::sigh:: i don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing. the cop that pulled me over said it would stay off my records if i went to class. which means it prolly wouldn't be in the computers unless i didn't go to class. damn. this sucks.

ok.... time to go sleep sometime before midnight... gotta wake up at 10:30 tomorrow. hauuu... 10.5 hours of sleep sounds nice... wonder if i'll get it at all =_=;;

|| Thursday, August 23, 2001 || 10:24 p.m. ||
i went shopping with kaijuu and i got 2 tops, 2 pants, a skirt (yes, a skirt), a visor, a belt, and a pair of shoes. plus snacks, candy, lemonade, lunch, and gas (for car). everything for under $200. i was happy. kaijuu dressed in hella girly clothes while i dressed in hella guy clothes and we went out as a couple today. ^^; all cuz of that one "reminds me of kamui" shirt i got at old navy yesterday. tehe. all good though. i had fun ^^ i treated her to lunch while she treated me to dinner. i was supposed to get her shaved ice, too, but we kinda forgot. today was ortho appt, kaijuu's house, bank, mitsuwa, valley fair, eastridge, cupertino village, azuma, mitsuwa, and then home. LOTS of driving. ::haa::

i'm still pissed about how my dad won't let me work even one day during the school year "until i get accepted into college". even though i keep telling myself 'i can still go in during the weekdays anyway to see everyone for a little bit, and even longer on weekends'. but it's not good enough. i want to stay the whole day, interact with them, get paid, etc etc. i don't want to be dependent on my parents for money again! i hate it! they always get on my case about where my money goes, why it went there, crap like that. which is why i secretly got a bank account this morning. yes, i KNOW i need to watch the mail for statements otherwise my parents'll find out that i have an account and get all over my case about THAT. ::haa::

and i'm still stressed about the ticket thing. i gotta get up at 10am tomorrow to call in and find out what i need to do cuz i haven't gotten any notices in the mail about what i can do when and crap like that. didn't get to do it today cuz today was my relax and get all troubles out of your mind day. so tomorrow i have to call in about the ticket, plus get all the burned cds into order and ship those out, plus clean my room, and THEN go to work.

work... it sucks how abel's not gunna be there tomorrow. no, i don't like him that way, though it sounds like i do. somehow i'm just able to relax when he's around and it feels nice. oh yeah, i met his brother today, and he's HELLA SCARY! ;_; he never smiles, doesn't say anything, really quiet, and gives off that 'bad-guy' type vibe. o_O;; kowaaaa.....!!! kaijuu saw him, too! she thinks he's scary, too! ;_; abel lives with a brother like THAT?? maa.. i'm sure he's a nice guy... just.. gives off the wrong.. vibe;;;; hopefully. anyway... can't wait till saturday. get to see abel. and it'd be nice if heidi worked tomorrow... need to talk. ::haaa:: just want to get the ticket thing settled. and then school to start. and want to see everyone at work.

|| Wednesday, August 22, 2001 || 10:12p.m. ||
my day WAS going well until my parents said i couldn't work anymore until i "get accepted into school". what the hell. it's like they're trying to make me think that school's my #1 priority. i have a life. it's not school 24/7. i want to work. i have to see those people there. the ironic thing is, i could always go and see them after school every day. on weekends i could go in for a few hours and my parents wouldn't say anything. why can't i work when i'm not doing anything school related?!?!?!?!?!? damn they piss me off. they're so stupid. they don't think rationally. oh well. i'll just go in a few times a week i guess.... ::sigh:: now to get this ticket thing solved....

|| Tuesday, August 21, 2001 || 10:04 p.m. ||
nnnnnn..... still need to take care of ticket stuff.. must do that tomorrow... and then get commissions done. O_O GAH!!! COMMISSIONS!!! ....tomorrow's pay day. yattaaaa!! i'll get the check and hopefully cash it in by the end of the day. then i can go... and.. do something. i dunno what. but yeah... i'm watching evangelion again (i dunno why) and i really like kaoru. i always did. i like how he makes "subtle" moves on shinji~ ^_^ and he's cute, too~ and his voice actor's ishida akira! =D i think... i'm assuming just from hearing him~ ^^ sore ja~

|| Monday, August 20, 2001 || 10:50 p.m. ||
lately i've been wanting to listen to really random songs. like 'can you keep a secret', 'are you that somebody', 'change the world', 'dreaming of you'... ~_~ man.. something must be up with me. mebe it's my lack of music in english. >_< so far it's been 99% japanese stuff...

i left the house about 5 hours earlier than i needed to start work. i WAS sleeping peacefully until i heard the doorbell ring downstairs and the housecleaners came. so i got ready to go out and left around 10:30ish. picked up cds from kevin's house, then went to work. and hung out. for a long time. lunch with roy and stephanie, bought a pencase, pencil, and schedule book for school... worked. though i was only cashiering for 4 hours, it felt a lot longer... i liked the earlier part of the day better.

|| Sunday, August 19, 2001 || 9:11 p.m. ||
aa... tomorrow's monday. i totally forgot... i start work at 4. FOUR!!! damn, thas hella late! i'll prolly sleep till about 11 and then get some things done. let's seeee....
=lunch with roy around 1=
=get ticket crap settled in the office=
=get cds from kevin's house=
=go to post office and ship cds out=
=plan school stuff=

man... i need to WORK during the school year!! and my mom wants me to give my brother allowance. ...what the hell? since when was i supposed to do that? and why?? it's HIS problem for not going to work cuz of vacation and not "having enough money" when he already owes me $10. oh yeah, heidi owes me money, too...;; HEIDI, let's go shopping on friday!

other than that, things that happened today? not much. just work. and it seemed to take a long time for some reason. oscar was being weird and he asked me to be his girlfriend and when i said no, he said "why?" i said why should i? and he said "cuz you're a beautiful lady". ...he asked me again and i said no. =_=; ::haa:: some people....

|| Saturday, August 18, 2001 || 11:41 p.m. ||
it really sucks when someone i like either smokes or drinks. it really does. cuz those kinda habits matter to me and it affects me when they're high or drunk cuz it makes me very unhappy and worried and annoyed. when i say "like", i don't mean "crush" or "koi" or "renai" or anything like that. i mean just someone i like. so yes. abel was drinking last night and he got only 5 hours of sleep. because of me. i almost cried hearing that. and roy got high today. i got worried and unhappy cuz that SHIT IS BAD FOR YOU! so is alcohol! and NO, i DON'T drink every chance i get like some people think, so i'm not being a hypocrite. ::sigh::

obviously i'm not in a very good mood right now. i have a lot of crap going on in my mind and i need them to be sorted out but some things just take time and some things only certain people can clear up for me and yeah...

things that happened today? well... roy got me some blue sunglasses which i like very much~ thank you~ there's the whole "mirae's blushing, oh my god!! how cute!! it's so rare!!" thing... dun ask... jack came by work and we had a little chat;;; nathan bought me kappa maki for lunch... heidi, matt, and i talked in the parking lot for a while, then she came over for a while. i dropped her off and my parents didn't mind that i was driving at 11pm. interesting. prolly cuz i'm paying for insurance now...;;;

anyway... i'm tired... going to bed soon since i have to get up at 9:30 tomorrow... sore ja!

|| Friday, August 17, 2001 || 9:51 p.m. ||
it was a really long day. =_= woke up at 7:45 to call heidi so we could meet at school to get schedules/schedule changes. after all that, tom picked us up at heidi's house to go see his dog. ^_^ she's really cute~ i can see why he gets all mushy and soft around her. ^^;; then it was work.

::haa:: more harrassment at work =_=; saw sara-chan the little cosplayer (who's practically famous) and she remembered me as the nakuru with eriol at ax, but i dunno about misao. =P oh, i got this funky idea. i was thinking about cosplaying as nakuru at work ^^;;;; you know, sorta normal... skirt, collar shirt and tie... too bad it's not gunna happen cuz i don't wear skirts and collar shirt + tie is just a bit.... bleh.... not to mention the skirt's kinda short, so who KNOWS what the people there would do to me? O_O;;; IYADAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!

tomorrow's saturday and it's gunna be hella busy cuz there's a big sale this weekend and yeah... it should be interesting though cuz everyone'll be there. except roy. ;_; he's missing out on weekends, dood. and i really hope i can work weekends during the school year. ;_; anyway... i have to get up at 9:30 tomorrow so i'm gunna get some stuff done and catch some zz's... sore ja!

|| Thursday, August 16, 2001 || 11:14 p.m. ||
mirae was sleeping soundly in bed. the alarm went off and she hit the snooze button. a while later, she woke up to the sound of people talking in her room. wait... that's the radio alarm... she hit the snooze button and rolled around a bit before she looked at her clock. 11:31am. ::blink blink:: "OHMYGODDDDDDD!!!" heh... she was supposed to be at work at 11:30. a minute late already and she wasn't even dressed. wonderful. she called her boss and said she wouldn't be able to make it to work till about 12. ok. all was good.

roy bought her lunch at mcdonalds, since his break was at the same time as hers. yay~ they got their food, went to the break room and ate while talking about random things which.. i cannot remember... at the moment...;;; they 'kept it real' sitting on boxes of rice in the back while talking to tom, and eventually, mirae was harrassed by salvador again. =_=;

after lunch, tokiko bitched at her about not handling the register. mirae wanted to help stock the shelves for a bit since she hates cashiering. she was putting gum on the shelves when:
tokiko: "mirae, you go do cashier, i'll do the shelving in a bit, you know"
mirae: "but tom said i could do stocking for a bit if it isn't busy up front"
tokiko: "no, your job is to cashier"
matt: "oh, tom said it was ok for her to put up the candy as long as there weren't too many people up front, so she's helping me out, too"
tokiko: "... ok, fine" ::walks off::
mirae: ::whispers to matt:: "thankyouthankyouthankyou"
matt: ::pats mirae's head:: "no problem"

mirae was busy running back and forth between the register and the shelves for a bit after that. random events occurred before closing. she had to stop abel from beating one of the cashiers, was almost thrown off the dock in the back by salvador, had an interesting convo with abel and oscar, was startled by roy how-many-times, almost run over by a cart by elodio, danced to a song in front of customers with heidi... ::haa::

dinner was also interesting. she went to sushi boat with tom and heidi, and the whole time, the 2 girls were making fun of tom and just talking about random things. including people at work. which was... interesting. ::ahem::

she came home in a good mood. until she talked to her parents. she asked if she could work on weekends during the school year, and her dad said no. mirae got all over his case about it while he got all over her case about college and being accepted into riverside when she doesn't even WANT to go to a FRIGGIN UC. so "until then, i don't think you should work. if you do, i think it should only be 1 day" seemed to be the conclusion. a frustrated mirae sat there petting her dog for a bit before she got up and went upstairs.
mirae: "mom, can i work during the school year?"
mom: "only on weekends"
mirae: "ok"
but it didn't stop there. her mom had to get all over her about college and sat2s and summer school and $hit like that. it ended with "i have to talk to dad about it". so mirae wasn't feeling very good. she took her hamster's cage to the garage to change the litter. then she sat in her room in front of her computer for a bit. she plans on doing that for the rest of the night until she gets sleepy. then it's off to get her class schedule early in the morning, and then it's off to work. roy's taking her to wendy's for lunch. ^_^ tanoshimi~

yattaaaaa!!! XD i get to work tomorrow! tomorrow's a weekday and it'll be slow and i get 9 hours and WAHO! XD ok... i dunno why i'm so happy about going to work, but i wanna get outta the house and my parents won't lemme go anywhere all day so yeah. tehe, might as well get money while i'm out, ne? XD i'm replacing kaijuu.

other than that, i woke up around 1pm today and it felt pretty good, only i was grumpy cuz the gardeners came and their machines were friggin loud and i was woken up by them and... yeah... wasn't very happy. so i took a shower, freshened up a bit and went to work early so i could keep roy company. =P talked with matt for a bit... and work... was... interesting... to say the least. stuff happened with the mexicans and masa-san x_X;, there was this one customer who was looking for something and i didn't really know what he was talking about and i was trying to help him for about 20 mins or something, and connie came in right as we were closing and i hadn't seen her in a long time~ i was happy to see her~ =D

|| Tuesday, August 14, 2001 || 9:55 p.m. ||
hallon~ again, today was all work. interesting things happened on my lunch break...;;;;; salvador tried stuffing me into the really big freezer in the back, and roy joined in later ;_; and then salvador dragged me into the freezer with him while roy locked the door and turned out the lights! ;_; hauuu!! it was cold in there! and dark! when i got out, i tried chasing after roy. abel stopped me. and he wouldn't get outta the way. >_< grrrr!! i'm going to get back at roy tomorrow. ....::gets idea:: .... tehe... tehehehehehehehehehehe....BWAHAHAHHAHAA!!!!

but he DID gave me his sandwich, which saved my life after work. i was so hungry. ;_; so i guess i'll lighten the revenge a bit~ ^_^ it was lonely up front during the day cuz there were no courtesy workers (they were all doing stock), and it was a slow day and and and... ;_;

overall, today was a good day. i'm kinda ki ni naruing about heidi cuz she went somewhere with eric and i dunno where they went and... yeah... ::haa:: starting to get stressed a bit... have things to take care of... and haven't done them... THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS. happy thoughts are good. yes yes. i can fly if i think happy thoughts. bishie. yaoi bishie. fufu... ::flutter::

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAIJUU!!

today was kaijuu's 17th bday, and she had a party with lots of people and we went to todai's, golfland, and hung around at her house~ it was cool! ^_^

other than that, not much happened. i'm dead tired cuz of all the stuff going on lately (mind overload o_O;), so i'm gunna go to bed now. hope the layout satisfies the eyes ^^;;; sore ja!
