Typing while I'm in the bathroom of a hotel room I'm sharing with Ping for the weekend; he's at work right now and will be back in about an hour. I'm kinda at a loss of what else I should be doing besides napping; I can't nap because my stomach hurts due to eating White Castle burgers super-late last night :x Bad move, Ange! Ah well, they were tasty, what can I say. *doubles over*
So I'm in New Jersey for the weekend, yeah? I'm meeting his parents and brother at Applebee's today for lunch. I was fine before; why am I so nervous now..? I really should stop making such a big deal out of things. I guess I just want their approval and stuff. No, I don't want their stuff, just their approval. <<; After lunch, I'll be going with Ping to this bboying event at Rutgers..gotta make sure the camera takes good video, so I may just go test that out in a lil' bit.
Tomorrow we leave for Brooklyn, NY, for the Sakura Matsuri cherry blossom festival! :D I'm very excited. I've wanted to go to a cherry blossom festival for a very long time now; I'm glad I was able to get the weekend off from work to travel out here (much to my co-worker's dismay). Forecast predicts thundershowers for tomorrow, but it's rain or shine, so, awesome sauce. I can't wait to see the taiko drumming and go for a walk in the botanical gardens in the rain :D Despite the forecast, I'm sure I'll have a wealth of pictures.
What else is new? NOTHINGGGG~
Well, my friend Eric told me he's finally got some money stored away in a Paypal account, and he wants to commission me for a Zelda plaque :DDD I won't tell what I have in store for him yet, but I can bet you it'll be lovely. I just need to make sure that I finish detailing the plaques I'll be selling at ConnectiCon too, before I go doing any more commission work (this being my first). ConnectiCon is in less than three months! o__o I have 20-something plaques as of right now. I did want to bring about 30, but if I can't, I won't fret about it.
Work...is work. Can't say much more than that :x I'm being upped to 5 hours a day, which still isn't a lot, but hey, it's something. Drivers' school is on the horizon, with my tax refund yet to come in the mail, and it's looking like I'll be moved out of Connecticut by August. Not all the details have been worked out yet, but it's looking very promising. I just have to make sure I have all the paperwork I need, important documents, resume, etc. It won't take me long to get straightened out :)
Stomach's feeling better, so I think I'll go out into the living area and watch some TV before Ping gets back. I hope I'm not too quiet around his parents :x
