OCD+ADD=OMG

But also, it means sushi. We usually go to Nakato, but they actually don’t open until 5 pm. So Mom asked me to look up other places in Springfield that has Sushi and Habachi I found quite a few places. Among them are Kai, Fuji Japanese Seafood Sushi Bar & Steak House, Sakura Japanese Sushi Bar & Grill, Hinode Japanese Steak House & Sushi Bar, Haruno Sushi Caterers, and Izumi Hatake Sushi Bar & Grill. Of all of those, I think I’d like to try the Sakura Japanese Sushi Bar and Grill :) Not just because I love Sakura trees either. The reviews I read all said the place was awesome AND affordable.

Also, after we’ve walked off the sushi at Sam’s, we’ll head over to the David’s Bridal there. I need to (probably) get fitted and start the process of getting my bridesmaid dress going. Taking measurements...it’s never fun :( Especially since I’ve upped my exercise regiment, and yet it seems to be helping nothing. Makes me sick. Or perhaps, I wish it would. If I were sick, I might be thinner -..-

Oh well. I probably should’ve been in bed ages ago. Dang insomnia. Dang sleeping pills that take so long to kick in.

I’ll type later!

Your True Passion is Leadership

You feel most alive when you are bringing out the best in people. It brings out the best in you in return. You love to teach others and guide them. You are very patient. Giving back is important to you. You want to make the world a better place, and you know you can't do it alone. You need a team supporting you. For you, there's nothing more satisfying than a group of people working toward a common goal. Especially if you're leading that group.

What's Your True Passion?

Uhhh, I had to order that charger from Amazon to get Makoto up and working. I mean, I tried just holding the charger in place and hoping it'd charge but, no dice. So, I finally have my charger :D It came in and Makoto is back to 100%. Thank you, Amazon.com :)

So! Let's see....I should probably make a list of things to discuss since it's been almost a week. Alicia and I met Tuesday night at Uncommon Grounds. I busted my bum to get what little I have of my original story typed up properly and put into a folder so she could take it and read it. So far, her only problem is that there's so little of it =..= I'm hoping that if we keep meeting regularly, that I'll find some motivation to write more :) Lord knows, my original needs all the help it can get.

Hey, Scamp? How much of my original did I actually send to you o..o? I'm wondering if I actually have more now or if I sent it all to you...

You know something else that's been bothering me? I have been swinging for about 3 weeks or so now, and it still hurts to do it most of the time. I thought you were supposed to exercise for a time, and then your body would adjust to that and it wouldn't hurt to exercise >..> I have never enjoyed exercise. It's really hard to make yourself do something when you don't enjoy it. I enjoy swinging, and that is the only reason I've managed to stick with that exercise routine. Mom and I do want to get, like, yoga mats and weights with DVDs, and get some sort of exercise routine going. I mean, I've switched entirely to drinking water now, and I feel great, but I've got to get moving more often....and as much as I hate it, that means cardio -..- God, but I do hate cardio.

You really don't know frustration until you have to move. Or when you have to unpack...that's frustrating too. Especially when you have no power or water in your house...and no money. That sucks. Every day, I've been taking boxes and stuff over to my trailer and just stacking some of those boxes. Mom and I went over there today and started unpacking the kitchen....we agreed that all the pots and pans and dishes were dirty and would need to be cleaned before use =..= We also went to Target yesterday, and I got everything I need for my spare bathroom. I've never had a spare bathroom, so it was like, "What can I do there?" I didn't want to over do anything, but I still wanted it to be nice. Oh, and Mom and I unpacked all my clothes and put it in my enormous closet :) That was fun. We did sorta agree that there's no point in unpacking books or DVDs (the main mass of my things really). I mean, till I get those book shelves, my books have no place to go, and till I get a DVD cabinet, my DVDs have no place to go so....yeah. Kinda don't want them spread out all over the place.

It's weird to move and unpack, because you feel almost like you're getting presents when you remember everything that starts coming out of boxes. And you get all nostalgic because you're like, "Oh! This box is full of my movies!" or "Wow! I'd forgotten I had that!" even. It's just strange...good, but strange. The down-side, of course, is when you pull something out of the box and it's broken ;_; quite a few things have taken damage actually.

I've been working on Mom's Mother's Day gift for a while now. Every time I get the chance to stay home alone, I take it. What I'm doing is, I'm scanning as many old photos as I can find onto my log in on her new computer. I'm hoping that I can get a jump drive and transfer them all over the day before Mother's Day, and that'll be her Mothers Day gift :D I'm sure she'll love it, because she has no idea I'm doing it and she absolutely loves surprises. And plus that's something she's really been wanting to do, you know? Safeguard all her memories and such. So, shhh, don't tell anyone. But I've been working like a mad woman to get as much done as possible. It's not easy when the photos are not dated, and most of them aren't >..> Still, it's good to have them safe :)

Oh, our Trailer dude who sold us the trailer and moved it for us and all, he said that during every move a trailer takes some damage. So, we're supposed to take note of the things that are messed up inside the trailer and he'll fix them for us. So far, this is what I have...

1. The screen door has some damage to it on the outside.
2. The siding around the door is coming off in one spot.
3. The front door will not stay closed unless the deadbolt is locked.
4. The outside light fell off...we still don't know why o..o.
5. The floor in the kitchen is messed up, bowing slightly.
6. The joint in the kitchen has come away from the wall.
7. The recessed lighting in the kitchen is not sitting right.
8. The laminent near the stove and on the floor near the dishwasher is crackling.

Considering the hills and thrills they endured coming here, that's really a small list of things :) Every time I go into my trailer, I'm happy. I like how it looks inside, and it's just bare bones, so I know I'm going to enjoy it a lot whenever I actually can move in and put my stuff everywhere.

I haven't heard anything from my Twin recently...which is weird, since I re-sent her the letter that I'd e-mailed to the wrong place -..-' Dad and I were talking, and he figured since she's close to Atlanta, we might just get a round-trip ticket for me and I fly out :) That'd be really awesome. Oddly enough, Reiko has been so lonely lately, when I told her I'd be near Atlanta, she wanted to know if she could come to the wedding o..o' She was like, "I'll bring a gift! That's all that matters, right? The guests need to bring gifts! Atlanta's only 4 hours from here! And I can see you!" ...yeah...

Oh, speaking of Reiko. Like I said, she's been really lonely lately. Oddly enough, she has very few friends in NC, and since the army wives she does know have very little in common with her, she's actually transformed into the 'quiet one' of the bunch. I know o..o weird. But, I've been thinking how much I'd love to go to an anime con (not this year, but maybe next depending), and Animazement is right there in Raleigh. If we want to get together again (and if we actually have money to attend), I could meet up with her and we could go there :) That'd be fun! And Mecha Con was such a blast.... cons really are the best way to get together :D I think. I mean, the Gathering with my Twin and then Mecha Con with Reiko. Both of them were a blast, and more so because of the company than because of the con. The Con's just a great excuse to get together and be crazy :)

Of course, I started looking up conventions close to me. The easiest for me would be the Arkansas Anime Festival...it looks pretty cheap for a con though (even if they're calling it a festival. It's $17 per day for adults who are pre-registered AND it's in Fayetteville... that's an hour and 40 minutes away (not to mention dirt cheap)! I mean, I know that there's also Kawa Kon (in Clayton, MO) and
Naka Kon (in Kansas City, Mo), but Fayetteville is just uber convenient.

....wouldn't it be awesome, if every couple of years my friends and I could just meet up at a con? I mean, we could take turns since we're all in different places, but each year one of us would have the con in our state/nearby, and we'd all just have a great excuse to go :3

...all that anime/friend talk being said...I really miss my Red vs. Blue =..= I wanted to buy The Blood Gluch Chronicles after I'd given my individual DVDs to Reiko...but then the Rents told me I was moving so...yah.. And now! they have the new season, Red vs. Blue: Reconstruction, out....and it's totally effin' awesome :D I mean, I've seen it all on the web site, but I really do have to have that <..< eventually...it will be mine..

Meh....I've talked/typed enough...goodness, but did I ever type enough. I really can't think of anything more to say and...I'm wanting to relax a bit. I'll post again later, Sunshines :)

You Are Dusk

You are a naturally idealistic and creative person. You look forward to nights where everything is possible. You spend most of your energy on play. Work is okay, but the true you emerges after the work day is done. You're an offbeat type that doesn't like rules or schedules. Life's too short to waste at a desk in a cube. Whether you spend your night socializing or working on side projects, you like that your time is yours.

Are You Dusk or Dawn?

We recently scanned our database and noticed your shopping cart has item(s) in it, left all alone, scared to move back to their product pages. Since we feel so bad for them, we’ve decided to send you a promotion code to help encourage you to ease their pain and give them a permanent home.

....clever, J!NX. Very clever. Admittedly, I do have a little bit of money in my account now that my income tax has come in...but I’m very hesitant to spend it. The three things in my cart right now are the Paladin shirt, the Rogue shirt, and the Second Hoard Crest (which is awesome). And those are just what I have in my immediate cart, and evidently what I had intended to buy whenever I had the money before I got the news that I would be moving. I also have several things on hold....like, Barrens Chat (because I did survive it :D), the Locked Chest shirt (hilarious), Frost Resistant because it looks like an awesome jacket to have, Logged Out because it’s so true, Vicious Gobbler, Choose Your Weapon, Not a Geek, and Big Game Hunter because game humour is awesome :), Knights of Good ‘cause that’s what I wanna be when I grow up, Buffy Staked Edward which most of my Twilight friends probably won’t appreciate and finally Silent But Deadly which I think is hilarious even if terribly crude. The only reason this is an issue...is because they sent me a 10% off code, and it expires at midnight tomorrow night...

.....maybe if I saved the new hoard crest shirt for later, I could get the Rouge and Paladin shirt... I already have the Hunter, Warlock and Mage shirts, and if I had the other two, I’d have my set of girls... admittedly, I do also have a Priest and Shaman...but I really don’t play them often or that well to be truthful. Honestly all of the WoW class crests shirts are great...I like them all, but I would prefer to get the ones that I actually play often and well...still, the Druid and Warrior shirts (which I’ve no intention of buying any time soon) are cool looking :)

I’m seriously thinking of buying those two shirts now >..> /glares at J!NX. Hmm...we’ll just have to see.

In other news, it’s actually grey and rainy out today. The wind makes it sound like several 18-wheelers are passing not five feet in front of my house....luckily, we really don’t have anything to do today. Oh also, I’m so sore from swinging so much, my back and legs are really killing me...so I’ve decided to rest today and start again tomorrow.

That’s all I got for ya so far. I’ll write later, Sunshines :)

You Are an Acai Berry

You are an intense, fascinating person with a very strong personality. You don't shy away from controversy, and you're incredibly independent. You are cultured, knowledgeable, and worldly. You have a deep understanding of things. You are lively and healthy. You believe your body is a temple, and you treat it as such.

What Tropical Fruit Are You?

I don’t think I’ve mentioned it, but since Dad put that swing up, I’ve been using it as exercise. Yesterday was my first time going for about 15 minutes. I must say, without my iPod, I would probably not be able to do it at all (and my jacket and gloves for that matter -..- It’s cold out!). But, I just put my earphones in and swing away. I am so sore from yesterday, but as soon as I finish my coffee, I’m suiting up and heading out there to swing some more. Maybe it’ll help :)

Tonight is the big Twilight night. Alicia and I plan to meet at my house around 11:30, and then head over there. I’m debating bringing my camcorder ^..^ I think I should. It’d be a great addition to the DVD...I mean, it starts out with Me, Reiko and Scap goofing off around the premier of Twilight, and it’d be fitting to have the DVD release and everything...I think so at least :3

...well...goodmorning and I’m off :) Later, Sunshines.

You Are Chirping Birds

You are a very caring person. You especially feel for innocent beings, like animals and children. You are keyed in to the world and very peaceful. You believe that everyone is connected. You remain focused and in the moment. You are not easily distracted. You have a good memory, especially for things that you hear. You listen carefully.

What Part of Spring Are You?

It was still fun though...We did a lot of talking, and we broke in my DVD Camcorder (without actually breaking anything ^.~). The phones were acting funny so we didn’t get the chance to voice post. Maybe next time. It’s funny too, cause we talked about so much that I barely remember all of it. It comes to me in pieces though.

Oh yeah... ¬.¬ there was that one thing we talked about. One day we’re sitting down, just unwinding (not watching anime/tv/anything or playing games) and Scamp tells me, “Oh yeah. I talked to William the other day...” and I’m like

…I could probably go on a rant just on the whole “I was bored, so I went to her journal” thing...but, that’s not really the point here...I find it extremely amusing that Billy who has yet to deign to actually talk to me, thinks he could possibly find a nice match for me...That’s great. You read my journal when your bored and you’ve decided to hook me up. Just great. Firstly, and foremost, I have always felt the same way as Wednesday Adams when it came to finding a guy.

Honestly, I can’t see there actually being a match out there for me, because I doubt there’d be someone willing to put up with my crap and quirks long enough to actually earn my affections. And believe me, my affections are earned. I do not give them away lightly, and it takes a whole lot more than a pretty face to catch my eye.

Now, I’m not really fussing about this, I’m just laying down the law. My law. I don’t generally mind the idea of someone close to me thinking well enough of me to bother trying to match me up with someone they know, but the truth of the matter is, I would only ever trust someone who truly knew me to do such a thing.

Well! Now that I have appropriately ranted about that, I can move on. Not that I expect him to actually hear about this, unless he’s taken by another period of bordum ¬.¬ But anyway...I really wanted to start an exercise routine up Monday, but of course, I was so exhausted after coming in from work I just vegged out all evening. Work is obviously a four letter word for a reason, no? I mean, I don’t really do very much physically...and I almost feel terrible complaining about it when there are so many worse jobs, but I can’t really help it. I should probably see a doctor about how tired I am all the time. But, I don’t have the energy to hunt one down.

Ah well. I don’t have much else to say (that I haven’t already written in
