Well there we go! I went to the Tokyopop manga evening. Aren't I brave? *Pats self on head condecendingly* >_<
It wasn't too bad, although I am relieved I took Lily. Heh heh. Otherwise I'd have ... Well. Been quite bored and embarrased probably. I wasn't exactly the most outgoing person in the universe. I spoke to ... Three people. To be fair, most of the people there were younger than me, with ... Well perhaps six exceptions. And most of the others arrived in groups. *Sighs* And what I found quite insulting was that Lily and I were practically the only people who didn't win anything. *Cries* Oh but they had some good prizes. Some rubbishy ones too, but all of the Hack.Sign series, a series of Lupin, Pita Ten, FLCL, Chobbits, A packet or two of Screentones, Copic markers, wall charts .... Gah. This is the sad truth of my life. I have yet to win anything. That I can remember anywayz. School Speech days discluded. But I did get to speak to the mum of an old friend from Claremont. It was sad actually because he'd been going to go but then couldn't at the last moment because someone needed to be at home for when someone collected their car. Gah. It would have been nice to see him again. Apparently he's a second Dan (Yes I'm sure I've spelt that wrong) and what made me ... Sad? No, Jealous at least, is that he's taking art. Oh gosh but I got jealous of him then. Weedle it. Anywayz he's pretty good by all accounts, although I am aware that I was talking to his mum. (Who won the rare art book. Grrr!) Lol. Odd thing is, I'd like to go to another one. And I really don't know why. Maybe something to do with my gambler's spirit mebbe. I've got this idea that if I went again I'd win loads, the quiz, the art competition, the raffle. Sadly there aren't anymore anywhere near me that I know of. There's one in London at some point, but nowhere else even vaguely possible. Still this is probably a good thing really.
Two days. Two days left at home. Then offsky. And I'm still not sure how I feel about that. I don't do anything while I'm at home. A little art perhaps but not much really. If I was in the Green, there's more chance of a job, more chance to see people and do things, and I'd get to explore Great Windsor Park some more. Plus I'll be getting my independence back. Something I think I've been craving. However. Well. At the same time, I will be alone in the house after the first week. And, y'know, I'm not sure if that would make me more productive or less so. Would I end up lying around doing nought at all? *Ponders* Still I guess I'll see. Because even if I decided I wanted to stay ... Well. My mum doesn't want me to. On one level anywayz. It's weird. I think she likes having me here to listen, when the others won't understand, are being difficult etc etc. But then in another way she is keen for me to go. *Ponders some more* It must be difficult being a parent. Lily doesn't want me to go and neither does Oliver I think. Dad doesn't seem to notice and Giles ... Hmm. Unsure. I think he doesn't mind my being gone, but likes it when I'm here. One more person to poik. ^_^ Although of course ~ Moving into the house means a) No television, b) No videogames c) No ... Family. Plus d) No supper prepared for me every evening. Heh heh. >_<
Oh but Lily was upset today. At it being the end of term I mean. She was selected as an entrant into an art competition, one of six in the whole school and she burst into tears. I was rather taken aback at this response to the good news. Then I realised she'd had to say goodbye to a lot of her friends, mostly for the last time ... Awww. Plus she's got this huge bruise on her arm. Totally huge. I couldn't believe it. Although I shall not detail it's blehness because it is bleh.
4 litres of caffeine in one day is just bad. I must not do it. Again. I actually think I got the shakes for just a little while. Heh heh. >_
