today i finally received the certificate of eligibility i need to apply for my Japanese visa. so now i need to fill out some more forms (hooray bureaucracy!), boogie over to the Japanese consulate in LA, let them do their thing, and hopefully within 3 days afterward i shall have my visa. annoyingly though, the consulate isn't open on weekends so i'll have to take a day off work. meanwhile, it's only 6 weeks until i leave... and my insides are back to being "OMGWHHYYYYYYYWTFISGOINGONIMGONNACRYOMG!!!" upon realizing this. i actually can't wait until all this moving stress is over and i'm there and then i'll finally be properly excited.
on wednesday i'll be going on a field trip with the kids to the Natural History Museum in LA and, since they've been right little terrors lately, this will probably be me on the bus:
and this gif segues perfectly into the next topic which is ASFKD;LALDJA;ALJFDKLA OMG YESSSS THANK YOU BABY JESUS GLEE IS BACK!!! i cannot wait for the epic Madonna episode on tuesday! *squeebouncesquee*
Yesterday was
theevilvoice aka Sean's birthday so I ditched work and went to Boomer's with him and Holland. we played around in the arcade for a while then wandered over to the bumper boats. Sean had promised me in the car that we wouldn't get that wet because there's only little squirt guns on the boats, then as we walk up i see a gigantic fucking fountain spewing water everywhere in the center of the pool. after telling Sean that i hated him several times, the 3 of us got in our boats and a lady with her 3 kids got in theirs. i covered my head with the hood of my jacket for protection and tried to haul ass away from everyone, but then promptly got blasted in the face with a jet stream of water courtesy of Sean. those kids were the real enemies though... they were ruthlessly drenching us with their water cannons. i pretty much just sat in my boat in a duck and cover position and screamed the whole time, but then Sean tried to ninja bump me into the fountain while i wasn't paying attention so i had to escape. Sean and Holland came out of it completely soaked from head to toe while my methods managed to at least keep my pants mostly dry. after that we went on the go karts and some guido teenagers (WTF people, this isn't New Jersey!) were being unnecessarily aggressive and kept trying to run Sean and Holland off the track. apparently go karts are srs bsns. we were wishing we had banana peels and turtle shells to throw at them.
later we had dinner at McCormick & Schmick's with Sean's grandpa, dad, aunt, and uncle which was pretty awkward since everyone except his grandpa is awful. when dinner was thankfully over we cruised over to Dave & Buster's and played in the arcade for a few hours until
the_evident joined us to go see Kick-Ass, which was pretty awesome. it was a lot more gory than i expected it to be... in fact i didn't expect a lot of things that happened in the movie. the way it's advertised is quite misleading, but maybe that's so people will be surprised when they watch it. overall, though, it's pretty lulzy and fun.
lastly, i'm impulse shopping like crazy and someone needs to take my ATM card away from me.
