So, dinner with my parents today and my server asks me if I need a kids menu. That tends to happen every now and then. I never know what to say, so I just play it cool and reply with, This is fine -poker face forever-. I'm beginning to wonder if I should just start taking them up on the offer so I can see what the kids menus are like nowadays. And ( Read more... )

Oh my god. My internet's been gone since Friday. It left all of a sudden and it is never happening again. NEVER. Ah, well. Despite the lack of internet, my Thanksgiving break was fun. While I wasn't forming conspiracy theories that involved a spiteful internet connection wanting me to finish my essays before I let other things distract me, I ( Read more... )

Still haven't entirely recovered from the whole oral surgery thing. But I'm doing a lot better now. I've only needed one dosage of Motrin today. Here's the thing, though: My appetite has come back, but my ability to chew hasn't. So, I've been jonesing for some meat for the past few days. I don't know how vegetarians do it. I really want some steak ( Read more... )

When my mom comments on how cute our waiter is when I hadn't even noticed, we have a problem. XD It's my mom's birthday today. I'm infinitely glad that my dad wasn't a jerk this time around. Last year, he forgot. And when my mom had suggested that we eat out, he was all >:/. This year, we had celebratory pie. Hooray for pie ( Read more... )

So, I'm sitting here at my grandparents's house just playing around on my iPod Touch when I hear music playing in the other room. I think that it's just my grandpa turning on the TV. But then I realize that it's my grandpa playing music on his laptop, loud enough to be suitable for a party. You'd think that my hearing impaired grandfather that was ( Read more... )

OH MY GOD. They're going to make a movie out of Metal Gear Solid. I really don't know much about it, since I found the IMDB page for it just now. (And I'm still waiting for the Arrested Development movie. What happened to that?) But... could they make this like Advent Children? Please? Pretty please? Don't make some ridiculous live action movie out ( Read more... )

Agh. So, I guess UPS couldn't find my house address yesterday, so my Star Trek Blu-ray discs didn't come until this afternoon. Luckily, my mom picked it up from Target yesterday, because my aunt told her to. Mom said that there were two Blu-ray versions left when she was at Target. So she bought them both. Bwahaha! Our apologies. On top of that, ( Read more... )

Even if I'm really tired right now, I think I really like that my weekend was jam-packed with stuff to do. I was up north to see off my sister. She's gone for college now. The stuff that she brought probably took up more than half the room. And my family and I had to lug it all up to her dorm. Which is on the second floor. Up a hill. Across the ( Read more... )

I don't even know where to put this information. I just woke up fifteen minutes ago. Usually my family is awake by now, but this morning the house was silent. My dad wakes up and he tells me all about what happened at around 4:30AM last night. My mom took my sister, Alison, to the emergency room.

( Cut for real life stuff you don't have to read about. )

So, during the summer, I usually end up clocking in on some big volunteer hours. I don't even mean to. It's just to keep me busy. This summer, I've been doing the usual Obon Festival things. I took that second shift just because I felt like it... And now, since my sister is very into all things that have to do with animals, we're working at a ( Read more... )
