Friday the 13th...
...was really boring. Well, it was mostly my fault for not doing anything, but I was craving an outing of some kind. I wish I had a group of really close friends I could just call and hang out with on a whim. I did go to the library with my brother and picked up a few sewing books (as I've been doing lately, though the only thing I've sewn is an apron for my Cooking Mama costume). I also checked out a history sorta book on China, since I'm supposed to be learning the language next semester. China was actually my first love, as I've been drawn to its writing since as long I can remember. I only came to be fascinated with Japan when I found out about anime, and my odd interests started to all make sense. Even now, I'm still not sure why I like it so much, but I think that's true to many things about people. It's kind of like asking why a person has a certain fetish--it's probably the hardest thing to explain, but it feels natural so it must be right.
I was surprised to find a check in the mail for me today. Apparently I got a good portion of my security deposit back, which was a surprise considering I hadn't heard from them and just assumed they took my whole $100. I was actually left with about $71, which will undoubtedly go to furnishing my new apartment next semester. It's harder to furnish a living room when there's only two people contributing, but it's easier to assess what we need and decorate. I really loved my roommates last year, but the living room was usually a mess or occupied by their friends, so I never felt like I could use it as much as I would've liked. Since it will be just us two next semester, I'll probably feel more free.
I reached my goal on Live Search Club, but they took down the prize I wanted. I'm thinking they're just out of stock at the moment, so I'm holding on to my tickets. Maybe they'll add something better, who knows.
I'm really in between hobbies right now, where nothing seems particularly appealing. I think I'm leaning more towards video games at the moment, which is probably for the best since I've got three unfinished DS games waiting for me (Pokemon Diamond, Pokemon Emerald, and Zelda: Phantom Hourglass) and two unfinished RPGs that I temporarily gave up on due to lack of interest (FFXII and Valkyrie Profile 2). However, I don't know how well these can hold my attention anymore, especially when I've felt so driven to be productive these past few weeks. Maybe if I clean up my room I'll feel better about spending more time in here.
Well, it's felt like a really long day, so I should at least rest my eyes.
