(no subject)
sometimes I completely and totally adore my nieces. okay, so I always adore them, but sometimes MUCH more than others. and it's so nice getting to be the cool aunt (even if by most people's standards I'm more dorky than cool, but I come from a family with geek genes so that's all cool for them).
I have gotten my nieces hooked on Blue Exorcist enough that we are all hyped up at getting a Blue Exorcist group cosplay ready by JAFAX. I'm also getting two more of the Blue Exorcist Half Age figures thanks to my oldest niece, since I found someone selling 4 of them for what came out to just over $10 per figure and two of them I already had. I went on Tumblr to ask my oldest niece if she'd buy the duplicates from me and she was all "YES!!!!!!!!!" which put it in the area of "stuff I can afford."
also, while I was up north on Friday and Saturday I got to marathon watch eps 12-21 of Blue Exorcist with my two youngest nieces (who have been without internet for a while and thus fell behind on it) and was treated with some lolness on Saturday when my youngest niece was playing a fighting game on their Xbox 360. the character she was up against started powering up for a special move, getting all glowy and crap, when she puts the smackdown on him, interrupting him and KOing him in one smooth attack. after my middle niece made a comment about interrupting his attack my youngest niece said "yep, I'm just like Angel. I like to rain on people's parade and keep them from pulling off their awesome moves."
that said, my friend Crash was asking about the book I wanted for my birthday today. I still find it amazing its finally coming out, but it's been so long since I've read the first two I'll have to reread them before I start it.
also, I'm really hoping someone besides just Crash remembers my birthday. I don't expect my dad to, since mom always had to remind him. it would be nice if he finally fixed or replaced my good headphones by then, tho. these cheap ones have good sound, but they're giving my ears blisters because they fit like crap. I guess it's just that I've always had issues with people forgetting my birthday (especially when they could almost always remember it was the beginning of September when my older sister died, but kept forgetting my birthday was at the end of the month) and now without mom around it just feels like it's going to be even more forgotten than before. and just reminding myself that in two weeks I'll be celebrating my birthday for the first time without my mom around really hurts...
