::sips Pocari Sweat::
Slacker school day. Absolutely no good/bad news other than that expected C on the math test, and slept through 2 periods and missed some disguesting bio video because of it. Kix says I should be happy. She also happens to have links of our CCS Cosplay pictures from AGSMA. Lovely. ::sip::

Work was kinda tiring. Feet kinda tired. But I correctly counted every penny from the cashbox and so manager-person likes me. I also think new-just-met-employee also likes me. His name's Eric, Chinese, came to US 5 years ago, likes comics, 2nd year in Japanese, 16. Very nice =3 We have same shifts 3 days a week so we'll see what-if-anything-progresses. =D

So now we're waiting for Wayne-chama to return from watching funny Batman movie so we can discuss AX. AX isn't so much of a problem anymore except for hotel/plane tickets, but now that I have baito I make $200 a week. =D which means in 4 weeks I'll have enough to go! Sweeeeeeet. XD Since arm is only slightly sore now, I do beleive I'll go practice swinging my boomstick now.

11:31 p.m.

Wayne how COULD you?! ;_; Director promised to help us out in a big way so it'll all work out in the end won't it? Cuz we're also affiliated with AGSMA right? I'm massively freaking out. I'm going to lose sleep over this. We have FOUR PEOPLE in our cosplay group! (possibly 5) What are Eriol, Tomoyo, Nakuru, Yukito, and Touya going to do? Brainstorm brainstorm!!!

8 weeks exactly until AX. And so many projects to finish. AKG to find a domain for. AKG to revamp for the con. Pictures to draw for Artist Alley. Dude, that Giant Ushagi outfit is going to be a pain to make. If Wayneleaderchama says he won something with 4 people from different series, we can do it TOO!!! XO

9:15 p.m.

I got another 50% on my bio quiz! >_< All because I didn't know what the septum did. But I know now. And I fell asleep in last period again... but I did stuff up on lunch & stuff so I wouldn't have to starve during work.

Which I didn't! Work was sooo fun!!! XD The supervisor gave me a locker and a blue uniform and was the lady who I thought was so cool cuz she was talking to the customer in Japanese, to the cashier in Chinese, and to me in English! XD and she's SOOO NICE!!! She gave me a tour of the store goods separated into different categories, gave me a cash box, and toootally helped me out since I had no idea what the grocery codes were. It was all and all pretty easy scanning everything. =3 5 hours doesn't seem like a long time at ALL. Ahhh and the manager thought I was pretty cool too because I was doing cashier thingy easily within an hour~ so I'm happy!!! It's SOOO different than working under stupid Chinese managers! XD And our baggers and boss are extremely nice and EVERYTHING and joke with the boss about being pimps and gay fags and they blow kisses to each other and AHHH they're SO FUNNY!!!!! XD XD XD

I think I'm gunna like work. XD XD XD XD XD

np: CHAKA - 'Ashita e no Melody'

Pa para POOM~ POOPIE! =3 I just realized today that although to suck and to blow are complete opposites, they also happen to be synonyms in the real world! ^_^ I do indeed possess a comparatively untainted mind. I got about 2 hours of sleep the night before for that nasty math test and probably ended up screwing it over anyhow.

I worked on my watercolor pencil at home today. I'm pretty much done, just needs a few more hours of work on it. But I still need a scratchboard subject- I suck at scratchboard. I suck at watercolors. I suck at it all!!!

Fortunately I get to start work tomorrow so I'd better bring lotsa money, stuff myself at lunch, and go to sleep... like... now. X_X Money for AX- Money for Japan- Money for a road trip- Ohhh planning the end of school is SO! FUUUNNN!!!!!! XD XD XD

10:08 p.m.

"This fucking blows." as Jack would put it. Hyatt is actually the main designated hotel for AX. And, Akuma, could you please call up Westin again to see if we can get a "normal" room? Sometime tomorrow or so? Funny we'd be thinking the same thing the same day. Dammit, the Hilton is 5 fucking BLOCKS away from the convention center.

Bad day. Very bad day.

9:43 p.m.

I managed to get out of the math test today by saying I couldn't write. I tried writing during last period and my hand almost unscrewed at the wrist. I should do kendo on a daily basis, except if I do that now my elbow most certainly will rip.

I got hired today~ officially. I start Thursday, and have shifts on Friday and Saturday, and supposedly Tuesday. Supposedly. See. I got into this big arguement with mom about how everytime I wanted to do something to work toward a goal she'd act in some nasty obstructive way, and how she denies it, and how eventually she'll give in and when she does she'll tell my brother to do it. See, that upsets me. She says it's different because he "has free time and just sits at home." So in order for her to let me do things, I hafto put on 100 more pounds, drop all my hard classes, score a 2.0 GPA and sit at home, play video games and rot? I'm the one working HARD to try to take kendo lessons, I don't even ask her to give me a ride, and I'm the one that spent a month and a half to find a job, and here she is screaming at how I can't work as much and how I'm racking my small tiny body over the sake of buying stuff at AX. Is this true?

Not in the least. I'm not even going to do any SPENDING at AX. I'm sitting at a tiny table working my mad doodling skills. And I have ONE MONTH to save up $700 to pay for a hotel bill! I'm making fucking $7.50 per fucking hour and I have one fucking MONTH and she won't let me work. They're gunna fire me when I cut down on hours, I know it.

Eventually dad got home and agrees with mom. But then mom suddenly decided to get nice when dad got home and offered to lend me money and pay her back at a slow pace.

Dad: Where you guys staying?
gaki: Long Beach Westin.
Dad: Does it happen to be near the Hilton? Because there's a Hilton at Long Beach...
gaki: o_O; actually... it's right across the street. Hilton was supposed to be the main designated hotel, but we couldn't get a discounted room since it was sold out somewhere in January...
Dad: Give me the dates and I'll see if I can get you a Hilton room for free.
gaki: !!!

So I'm hoping all goes well in the end.

11:29 p.m.

Daddy's back. =3 He got me Tenma Gouka (RG Veda 2), all of 20 mensou, and I just finished reading Angelic Layer 4. ^_^ Like all AL, sukiiiii! XD Oujirouuu~ Wizard~ I'm getting more excited by the minute. Problem was I just got back from kendo, where I learned Kiri-kaeshi and Do, and Kokawa-sensei got me a brand new shinai. =D So I was very happy about that. Taste my boomstick, evildoers, HAHAHAHAHA! Except problem now is my arms are sore. And weak. So reading manga with tremblings hands just isn't as enjoyable. T_T

Even more problem: come home. Meet face to face with a $102 phone bill from using a wrong dialup #. T_T I have to pay it too~ naaaaa! ;;;_;;; And worst problem: 7 nights of math homework to do and a test tomorrow! ;;;;;_;;;;; NAAAAA!

5:23 p.m.

gaki: At least I've met Jen today so she can help bring my art project tomorrow. At least I didn't have to call Mitsuwa to inquire about my job, since they just called me. And at least I have kendo lessons today.
But DAMMIT! Why the HELL do parents have to be in the car?! XO What does mom THINK I am, BLIND or something?
Eriol: well you don't exactly have 20/20 vision.
gaki: Hey hey HEY, I happen to have contacts on.
Eriol: You also happen to a math test tomorrow that you haven't studied for.
gaki: oh WHYYYYY????? ;_;

np: DDR - 'Era'

::Yawn:: I woke up and couldn't get out of bed because my legs decided not to operate on me. So niichan dragged me out of bed and drove us all the way to the mall to go get his clothes and mommy's present, at 11:00 a.m. I kept a steady pace of about 2 mph because, as I said, my entire lower body was sore, my calves screamed when I stepped, my feet threatened to collapse on me any moment, and I have a hole in my foot.

So we got niichan's clothes and decided to get mommy a black bear from build-a-bear workshop, and dressed it up in green overalls and a fisherman hat. =3 I think I fell asleep on the way to and in church, and on the way back. For dinner we um. Had a little bit too much food at Black Angus, and gave mommy the bear. She liked it. ^_^ There were 100% no arguements today. I don't think the day could have gone ANY better... besides the fact I need to rush 7 nights of math hw which is due tomorrow...

I opened up all the 4th mix songs, which means I'm ready for 5th mix. =D Daddy's coming home tomorrow with my fat manga and books n stuff. I also have kendo tomorrow, and since Mitsuwa hasn't called me yet about my shift, I'll need to call THEM tomorrow. =P Yeah. "I was just wondering about the current status of my records being reviewed and wanted to know when I can start working..." heh. heh. =3

np: Gumi - 'Super Duper Love Love Days'

Yu ai kai was fun today. =D We served lotsa prime rib, salad, and strawberry cake and coffee/tea/water etc. and basically waited tables in general. We were starving, and since they had extras we wolfed down the food. I shoveled 3 plates of beef/chicken/rice/salmon continuously. XD Delectables was the caterer, I think it was. I visited Nikaku for the first time today, and got CCS OST 2 (finally) Afterwards o-yasashii-Chris-chama came over with Kix (who was screaming about Sims House Party) and Akuma to play 4th mix and ParaparaParadise! XD It's fun. Chris is so good at it. He said he'll teach me the mickey mouse march. XD XD XD

SOUYA SOUYA. As a result from playing too much DDR in a period of 2 days, I've smartly ripped a hole in the sole of my left foot. XD And it hurts like bloody hell. XD I think I'll go wrap it or something now...

Later today, is mother's day. =3 I'm going to mall with oniichan to see if we can find kaa-chan a present. And then after church we're going to treat mommy to Black Angus. monya.

niichan: Except you have about $4.00 on you in the world.
gaki: HEHEHEHEHE sore wa SOUYA kedo sa... ^___^;

np: screeching yellow jack monkeys dancing about in my head

As I walk into my 2nd period today, the bell rings.

...

::crickets chirp::

... I'm the only one who didn't register for the History AP exam wasn't I. ;_; But I did 2 nights of math homework in an hour. Basically school was not fun. Sabishikatta. ;_;

CG club, on the other hand, WAS fun. o-yasashii-sama-Chris lent me 4th mix, so I spent until 7:30 killing my toes on a tile floor pounding away. And then akuma-neesan saved my by giving me a ride back home, where we continued to play DDR till 9. I haven't gotten all the songs yet.
I went to oniichan's room and watched a disturbing commericial. A guy is doing pushups. He then does puts one hand behind his back and does one armed pushups. He then puts both hands behind his back, and he's doing pushups with like... no arms.
So then the camera pans to a nearby medecine cabinet. With A box of Viagra on it.

MEEEEP. >_<

Tonikaku, we're going to Yuaikai tomorrow. Hopefully kenji will let us stop by Nikaku. =3

Ohhh I forgot to mention Spunky's 4 years old today. ^_^ That, and mommy said daddy (who went to Japan on business trip) got me my entire list of manga (5 books: 20 mensoh, miyuki, i forgot) and the new RG Veda Artbook!! X_X I accidentally wrote down for him "Hiten Muma"... which I already have... but Tou-chan went back to Shosen Book Tower and get most of them! X_X Oh I feel so LUCKY!!! ::frolic:: Now if I can pay him back...

np: Tales of Phantasia - "Youkan"

... now that I'm not taking the AP exam, whatever shall I do tomorrow? After CG club that is. Ne, neesan, tomorrow's Friday so can I get a ride to Kino's to pick up my books on hold? Hmm, I hope they have 20 mensoh #2. =d

Let's go golfland or something, if Chris doesn't lend me his 4th mix. If he does, let's go to neesan's house. =D

Or even better. Let's get materials. For Kix's present. Heheheh. iin desu ne~ XD
