Alas, Mako-kun still isn’t working right. So I’m on AMOS, and despite a few hiccups, it’s doing wonderfully...But then Mom called me... she had some shrimp, avocado and cucumber, and she wanted sushi. So I got out my seaweed and sushi rice along with the Sushi Magic kit and we tried to make some sushi. We sautéed the shrimp in Cajun seasoning, garlic and then cooked them in butter…the shrimp alone were to die for. Now… I’m gonna go ahead and be honest here. Our sushi wasn’t much to look at…but it tasted freakin’ uber. I found that the seaweed was too small to really roll the sushi on the Sushi magic thingy the right way...and it may be weird, but I did a better job rolling it by hand. We’ve also figured out that it’s best to buy a bunch of Annie Chung’s sushi rice as opposed to just one packet. The seaweed comes a dime a dozen, but the rice? Not so.

After hanging with Mom for a while and watching TV (OMG, how could Laura not win America’s Next Top Model?), I started hurting and just came home. Since then...I’ve been formatting and printing out WoW fics -..- Getting a headache here too. I got most of them printed off really!...but there’s still 6 files to go =..= A part of me says to put it off, but I know I’ll be feeling worse tomorrow so...I dunno. I want to get it all over with. I guess I’ll continue…at least for a little while.

I guess I’ll talk later, Sunshines. Night :3

Your Fashion Style is Casual

You prefer to keep it laid back. Jeans and a t-shirt are practically your uniform. And when you dress up, you're still the most informal person in the room. Dressing formally makes you feel stuffy. Just because you're casual, it doesn't mean you're unfashionable. In fact, you often look effortlessly chic. You know how to rock a perfect fitting pair of jeans and a funky t-shirt. Not many adults can pull off your look, but you can!

So, last night, as you can tell from my tweets, we went to the game. It was fun to go, but more so for the social aspect, I think. I enjoyed talking with Dori and Pastor Sam. Alicia had a bit of a panic attack and had to go and get some air. Jesse was number 30, and they didn’t pull him in to the game until the last quarter. He made an awesome play when he tackled the opposing team’s quarter back. That was like watching a train wreck (feel for the people caught up in it, but you cannot look away). Remind me never to give that boy room to build up momentum if ever I should make him mad =..=

Oh, and funny story. So, I realized that I had connection to the internet, right? So the first thing I do? ...double click the World of Warcraft icon on my desktop =..= It was up to 18% downloaded before I thought, “..oh duh, moron. What’re you gonna do when it finishes downloading >..>” I’m such a dork.

I’ve come to notice that some of my CDs, both Data and Music, have gone mysteriously absent... My TWO-MIX CD is gone, and I cannot remember the last time I saw it. I was fairly certain I had ripped it to my iTunes, but it’s not there either... Also, several months ago, very early in the year, I took a bunch of CDs and burned pictures of my WoW characters to them. Since I have a ton of pictures of my girls, I figured it’d be good for them to get stored away as opposed to just sitting on my computer. After I made sure the pictures were on the cds, I deleted the pictures so that it’d free up some space... and now I cannot find those CDs <..<’ I know it’s probably around somewhere and I just haven’t found it, but it irks me. The TWO-MIX CD...I’m fairly certain is lost. I’ve been trying to remember if I had it in LA and when I last saw it…but I cannot. A part of me just hates it too, because I think I listened to the songs on that CD until I could sing along with it. But...another part of me has sort of accepted it because it knows there’s little that could be done. /le sigh.

Well…I guess I really have ...nothing left to say. I’ll go ahead and sign off now. Later, Sunshines.

You Are an Unnatural Flirt

This doesn't mean you're a bad flirt, it just means that flirting doesn't come naturally to you. You are willing to learn how to be a better flirt, even if it feels weird or phony at first. You like to be seen as attractive and fun, you're not always sure how to go about doing it. Just try to notice who lights up a room, and emulate their approach. Flirting is easy once you get some practice.

Oh, and you know...for someone who’s saving money, I sure am buying a lot of stuff. Or planning to buy a lot of stuff. I was gonna not spend a lot of money and start saving up for my MacBook, but I did a little bit of number crunching the other day. I went through Amazon and Pyramid Collection to see what items I wanted for my house (in blocks of which room they’d be going in), the prices of those items and then set up excel to add all that up. I’m gonna end up spending over $1,000. So, as much as I’d like to save up right now for that mac (which I’ll need a bare minimum of $3,000) I really would like to focus on my house. Apple will always have their computers for sale, but I need to get my house done now, and I’m not sure how long the things I want for my house will be available. So yeah. I make purchases each check (except the first check of the month for car insurance).

I’ve also realized that it will take me about 15 months to save up $3,000, and I’m not buying it till I have at least $500 extra in there…so I will be canceling my Warcraft when I move into the Nexus. I can’t expect my parents to keep the high speed internet that they hardly ever use when I’m out...so..work will be my only access to the internet. But considering that I’m not really an addict, it’ll be ok. Oh, O..o I need to get more PS2 games... that’ll be my only access to any type of gaming...Must get more PS2 games at some point. I should definitely take my wish list off of Amazon and start looking around or something.

Oh! I bought this air mattress thing, it’s called the Coleman 4-in-1 quickbed. That way if I have any guests over that are over late and they don’t want to go all the way home, they can bunk overnight at my place ^..^ It seems all of my friends live fairly far away...Reiko, Chibi and Scamp are all in different parishes (and that’s my friends in this state -..-)...And we tend to rant and rave into the night, so it’d make sense to just get sheets out and inflate the bed and have them stay over. My backroom will provide plenty of privacy for it. And with the 4-in-1 I can have 2 twins or a doubled up twin bed or a king. So, if both Chibi and Reiko want to stay over, they can. Now, if it’s Chibi, Reiko and Scamp…well, I’m considering getting a futon, so someone will end up sleeping on that =..= All this planning...it makes me realize just how poor I am.

I’m going to go ahead and start packing up things I don’t absolutely need (movies mostly). Of course, that means I’ll be making a catalog/list of all the movies I have and then labeling the boxes and recording which boxes they go in. It’s times like this when I bless my OCD.

In “trying to sound positive” news, I get paid in a week!...and I have most of that spent (in my head) already...which means, I’ll be getting more packages ^..^ That’s good. Speaking of money, I should probably be getting back to work. I’ll write later, Sunshines.

You Are Straight

There's not much queer about you. So let's just say you're straight... but not narrow.

What's Your Sexual Orientation?

Thanks for clearing that up blogthings, I’m sure everyone was really wondering -_-

After we left that we were pretty hungry. So we stopped at Rally’s which we love but rarely go to for some odd reason. The burgers we got were inconsequential and forgettable, but the fries...we only just discovered that Rally’s has three different type of cheese fries. We tried the Bacon Cheddar Ranch fries…omg, you guys. I don’t know if it’s because I’m menstrual or what, but those were the best damn fries I’ve ever eaten! They were so good, I told Mom that I wanted to rush home and write an entire post just about those fries. Then again, we were both starving by that time...so yeah. Maybe that’s it.

I was gonna get on World of Warcraft and play with my Twin, but by that time it was late and she had to be at work. So I figured there was very little point. I did dabble around on AMOS and figured out that a program I have called PicPerk can convert the pictures I took from WoW into Jpegs, which was a real concern. I’ve got hundreds of pictures of my characters that I’ve wanted to share, but without the help of CorelDraw, there was very little I could do. After that, I watched a lot of the second season of the X Files. I still have mixed feelings about seeing Mulder in a Speedo...swimming or not, there are just some things that should not be done. Over the weekend I watched all the way up to disc 5 (there are 7 episode discs and 1 bonus). So, not too shabby.

Anyway. Sunday was probably the worst day for me. I woke up in incredible pain. Mom had a terrible headache and couldn’t find her headache medicine. Figures. So we both ended up hunkering down and skipping church. After straightening up a little more (making the bed look a tad more presentable and tucking Reiko’s now-wrapped presents away), Reiko called and informed me that she was getting sick. I told her I wasn’t feeling well either so we’d just have to cancel our meeting. I IMed my Twin and played some Warcraft on my new Blood Elf Warlock. We played for a while, but I started to feel bad (after a couple of hours) and logged off. Reiko then called and said she was bored out of her mind watching Puppy Bowl and asked if I could bring her Wolf’s Rain. So, I did. Borrowed Accepted and Scourge of Worlds from her...Scourge of Worlds was fun when I finally figured out what had to be done. It’s an interactive DVD, so you actually get to choose which path the character’s choose. It was interesting. After looking over Reiko’s menagery and trading DVDs, I went and got Mom and I something from Subway for supper. We watched Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and then ...I don’t really remember, so I assume we went to bed =___=

I don’t feel quite as bad today as I did yesterday…that’s good. Not that I feel good, mind you…. I still feel like petrified crap on a beatin’ stick. Oh well. That’s all for now. Ja.

Your Dominant Thinking Style: Modifying

Super logical and rational, you consider every fact available to you. You don't make rash decisions and are rarely moved by emotion. You prefer what's known and proven - to the new and untested. You tend to ground those around you and add stability.
