Holy balls, livejournal, I am so bad at you, I'm sorry. I apologize every time, but I really do mean it!!!

♥♥ My birthday was pretty sweet! Spent with really fantastic humans, thank you so much to everyone that helped make it so! I got seriously the best haul of birthday mail I've ever gotten in my life and you guys have no idea how happy it made me. ♥ I'm afraid that if I give thank-you shout-outs individually I'll forgot someone or something, but just let it be known I'm saving all your addresses for holiday cards, if not something sooner. >:3 Seriously, thank you bbs so much. ;; w;; ♥

Being 21 is pretty cool I guess, I bought a ton of booze for the party and the guys at the liquor store in town teased me because it was ~my first time~ and it was pretty adorable, actually. Except now I can't find my passport which is my only form of photo ID so I can't do anything else 21-related until I find it ahahaha fml.

After my birthday, I was lucky enough to have tsunami, orgato2 and Steve stick around for a bit... we went on a lovely fall adventure to pick out pumpkins, Dylan baked us delicious pie, Amy made us amazing apple cider, and Steve, Ame and I painted Pokemon on pumpkins. ♥



The plush Pumpkinchu was my prize for winning last year's pkmncollectors Halloween contest~ Ame painted Wailmer, I painted Growlithe, orgato2 sketched Cubone and Pichu for him and Amy, then Steve painted Cubone, Pichu and Koffing for himself. Love my Pokefamily. ♥

♥♥ I went home the weekend after my birthday. Ame wasn't able to come because of work so it was pretty much our first extended period of time apart since she moved out here and... you'd think there'd be some sort of relief or something but we mostly just missed each other. XD;

But it was nice to spend time with my parents (and I have a couple hilarious videos of my father that will be saved for another post) and I hung out with blindkijin on Saturday for the first time in... idk, months? I'm really glad things are okay with us again. Cole is a weiner but I missed him, so. Then on Sundaaay I a) came down with something b) went into the city for Meet The Breeds aka Puppykittycon with happy_riceball! We got to pet so many puppies and kitties and ahhhh it was the best! And I got to see bluucircles for a little too for some quick snuggling so that was also wonderful.



Katelyn snuggling with our super friendly Pointer friends! There was a whole pen of them and they were just... ridiculously cuddly and wonderful. Few people appreciate how crazy I am about animals, but it was lovely to share the day with someone who did! ♥

♥♥ That "something" I came down with on Sunday turned out to be the flu! Which may or may not have been swine flu! Apparently they don't test for swine flu specifically anymore, they just assume that it might be related. So, that was pretty cool. I was absolutely inconsolably miserable on Monday and just an absolute mess, but as I have idk the world's best girlfriend I was really well cared for. ;; ~;; I've been recovering since, and Ame's picked up a touch of what I had (though fortunately not as bad) so we've just been... really lazy this week.

♥♥ WE HAD A LADYBUG INFESTATION AND IT WAS AWFUL. Ladybugs (and stinkbugs though fortunately not in the same numbers) are migrating and looking for places to hibernate, and apparently our apartment seemed awfully appealing. In one night, we caught about ~30 ladybugs. We released those the next day and caught another dozen. I've since sealed off all the windows with ghetto weatherstripping and now we only have one or two a day, but... it's been an experience. They stop being so cute and charming when there are several dozen of them, not least of all because THEY SMELL because they release some of their terrible-smelling blood (pretty fucking metal, I guess) as a defense mechanism which is why we had to catch them instead of smooshing them (not that I would have been able to anyway.) But yeah, ladybugs. That was a thing.

♥♥ For the past two days, we've been watching the Lord of the Rings movies! It's been yeeeears since I've seen them so it's been an absolute joy. Yesterday we watched The Fellowship of the Ring, and then the special features, and then the commentary which is the entire movie again... today we did the same with The Two Towers... and tomorrow we do Return of the King. 8D God I miss when these movies first came out~ not surprisingly, as our lives are a bizarre parallel of each other, Ame and I were both super into the fandom when it was active. Ah, memories~

btw we're going to be Hobbits when we grow up, you guys should come visit us in our Hobbit hole. (We've named our apartment The Hobbit Hole, btw. And now she calls me her little halfling oh god we are terrible)

♥♥ We didn't leave the house at ALL yesterday because we felt like crap, so we went on a nice walk today. Well, the walk was nice, we still felt like crap when we were on it, but we needed the fresh air (especially since we can't have our windows open anymore because of the goddamn ladybugs.)

My birthday gift from my parents this year was a macro lens for my DSLR which I've been coveting for a couple years now. I... this lens. I am so incredibly in love and I think Ame's concerned she may have competition. I have a long way to go before I'm anywhere near competent with it, but I'm really absolutely adoring it already. Needless to say, it came with us on the walk... I really want to make a separate post for photos I took. We'll see if I get around to it. For now, this one~



For someone who loves her camera as much as I do I admit to being completely reckless when it comes to getting a shot. My camera was so precariously balanced on an adjacent bench it would have made any other photographer have an aneurysm. I really need to remember to bring my mini-tripod when I intend to use self-timer ahahaha. ♥

♥♥ Lately, Kpop has been of interest to us. Ga-in is just... unreasonably attractive. More crushes on Asian popstars are... probably the last thing in the world we need right now but AHAHAHA OH WELL

♥♥ I did a couple memes here have them please take them I don't want them anymore.


[01] Do you ever wonder what your ex is up to?
Not nearly as often anymore.

[02] Have you ever been given roses?
Yes.

[03] What is your all-time favorite romance movie?
Wall-E. No joke.

[04] How many times have you honestly fallen in love?
Three times. The first was when I was 13, but I honestly loved her with the full capacity of my 13-year-old heart. :c

[05] Do you believe that everyone has a soul-mate?
I think there's a pretty decent chance I've happened upon mine, but I've never put very much into the idea of soulmates. So no, not really.

[06] What's your current problem, relationship-wise?
It's 3am and we've only just finished the first disc of the LotR Two Towers commentary. Do we watch the second disc tonight, or wait to watch it tomorrow, which is supposed to be reserved for Return of the King? Serious problem, here.

[07] Have you ever had your heart broken?
Very much so.

[08] Had a long distance relationship?
All of my relationships have had some degree of distance... I've never dated anyone who lived in the same town as me or went to the same school or anything. But obviously Ame is the most significant of those, seeing as we were 3000 miles away for the first 15 months of our relationship.

[10] Do you believe the statement, once a cheater always a cheater?
There's truth to it, though I think that different relationships can have different definitions of what constitutes cheating. Meh.

1, please.

Purple. And rainbow ♥

fffffffft

[16] At what age did you start noticing the preferred gender(s)?
7th grade was when I found a name for it, I suppose, though I think I had attractions to girls before that without really realizing it. As for boys, I starting having crushes in like, Kindergarten. :| MY WHOLE LIFE HAS BEEN A QUEST FOR ROMANCE

[17] Are you happy with your love situation?
Happy is not a strong enough word for how completely and absolutely elated I am to be in the situation I am in now.

[18] Do you know someone who likes you?
Other than this lady, I doubt it. XD

[19] Do you like anyone?
We might have a couple crushes. Wait what?

[20] Do they know you like them?

[22] If you're not in a relationship, do you want to be?
WOOP WOOP

[23] How old were you when you had your first real relationship?
I dated a boy for 9 months from 5th into 6th grade. ...He is also gay now. Then I was ~in internet love~ with blazeblast in 8th grade but we were never ~*OFFICIAL*~ sooo... 10th grade with Richard, I guess?

[24] Do you still talk to your first bf/gf?
Once in a while! He met Ame summer before last and it was the cutest thing ever (Chris that is, not Richard.)

[25] How many relationships have you been in?
Five legitimate ones, though one was open and she was never really my girlfriend and lol I don't really know what that was.
