So yesterday, I did go to Stillwell's, but to my disappointment, they didn't have that caramel chocolate dessert. :( I had such a craving for them too. I ended up buying a chocolate eclair instead (along with a cream horn + tiramisu). The eclair wasn't that great though.
I realize that the stuff I scanned at work were freaking huge! The whole thing was about 60mbs large. Each pic was about 4mb. I have no idea how to resize them either. Oh well.
Wow, a PSO friend contacted me after a few years. It was my fault that we lost touch because I'm horrible when it comes to emailing and such. I guess he found my myspace and friended me, which I was happy about. :) I really should make more effort to keep in contact with people that I care about.
I think one of the reasons why I'm so bad at keeping in contact with people I care about is because I push them away when they get too close. I'm fine up to a point, but when a person gets to know me too well, I shy away for some reason. My G told me that it could be because I reject people before they reject me (he's the same way). Screwed up, I know.
Sometimes when emotions are too intense or if something screws up in the relationship or something signals COMMITMENT, I push people away (kinda like how I'm doing with C in Japan). I think I'm just scared and unsure about myself and the person. For both friends and romance.
Then again, I think it could also be laziness that keeps me from keeping in touch. There are people who I still think about whom I haven't spoken/emailed/IM'ed in a really long time that I cared about at one time. And still do. I would really like to get back in contact with them, but I don't know how. That's why I'm glad that my friend Rick found me on myspace. He's one of the people who I met online that I considered a really close friend. :)
Other people (on PSO) I'd love to get in touch with:
~ M (a.k.a. Alleckto), who was like a imouto to me
~ STORMSHADOW (whose friend's name was SOLID SNAKE)--I'd like to know if he's doing well. He used to "recite" dark, yet beautiful poetry (song lyrics) to me.
~ DMC (Foney DMC)--I want him to give me his cheesecake recipe. :P
And I'm sure there are more, but these are the main 3 that I can think of.
I'm currently taking a break from packing the stuff in my room (typing Silly lyrics + writing on LJ). I've cleaned my bookshelf out the other week and now I'm starting with the shelf that was in the back of my bed. And the plastic drawers that are filled with crap. I found a lot of letters, pictures, grade school yearbooks, notebooks that my friends and I made (I should scan some and post them online when I get a scanner! lol), cassette tapes (tape!), and other odds and ends.
I have a shitload of J-drama video tapes too. I think maybe I should buy one of those contraptions that can make DVDs out of video tape footage. I hope they're reasonably priced...
