]Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance] (Okay, so my father owns it, but I bought it for him. xP)
There are more books I wish were on this list. xD And I have a bad habit of starting books and never finishing them, even if I enjoy them... However, I have finished every Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman (with the exception of Neverwhere and Makin' Money--which I'm reading at the moment) that I've ever started. :D That's a feat.
And in other news, Chichi has arrived back home safe and sound, but he brought a little hitchhiker with him! Why did he come here? To have tea, of course. :D Luxurious, pink, sakura-blossom tea!
Chichi: ... [...What is this crap?]
Tan: It's sakura tea, of course, you food-retard! *sip*
Chichi: ... [...It's -pink.-]
Tan: What did I just tell you? It's sakura tea. Cherry blossoms? They're PINK?
-I'm- drinking it. :D It's delicious!!
Chichi: ... [Yes, well, you did spoon it oh-so-carefully out of your mug... Creep. >_>]
;_;
Tan: Thank you, Landlady-sama!! :D
Least someone appreciates me. ;_;
Ooh! Speaking of, Tan! I have a present for you. :D
Tan: For me? :3
Chichi: ... [Wait, wait, I'm the one who just got home, here! What the hell, woman.]
Ta-da! :D
Tan: What is it, what is it-- o_____o
Chichi: ... [No, seriously. What the hell is that.]
Tan: lkdnflknsdf strawberry onigiri aslknsaklfdnsa~!!
Chichi: ... [... oh... my... god. Why did he come home with me?]
n___n!
GIANT ONIGIRI :DD (Yes, I really made it!! Isn't it cute?! >w<)
Chichi: ... [...God... why... That this is as big as this kid is! Bigger than his head! Isn't there a saying about eating things bigger than your head?]
Tan: Oh... Onigiri-sama... *seduces strawberry onigiri*
Chichi: ... [I definitely did not sign up for this.]
:D So Tan and Chichi had tea and all was good! (And PS, the strawberry onigiri was, sadly, crap. ;_; I put too much rice, not enough strawberries. T__T)
However. D: The night before Chichi arrived, my car got broken into! Like, both front and back passenger windows SHATTERED. Busted out. And they went through the fucking glovebox. They stole Daniel!! T___T Our beloved GPS. *whinecrysigh* And they stole all the chargers we had plugged into the DC outlet adapter (which they also stole), and they nabbed the measly box of cigarettes with two cigarettes left in it! Rrrgh! However, they did not steal Codie's Zune or camera, which is nice. :D
*sigh* Nonetheless, my car is in the shop again (but already finished with its work), and we're going to have to re-purchase all of the stolen goods. Oh, and the police are taking forever to file our report! >_< So we can't even tell them that we realized they stole a bunch of shit! *grumblegrumble*
Ah, well. I have new tea and cute dolls to keep me amused. 8D (Oh, and new anime friends! >w< Hurrah!)
