[#056] Predictably disappeared after that meme
What can I say? I totally called it. I guess it's a good thing I know myself, lol. XD
i. To be fair, I haven't done much of anything this past week. The most important thing that has was the jep_cast 150th ep/3rd year anniversary recording. It was as awesome as always with a live recording and a game of introdon. Thankfully this year, we switched the process and had Rhey and I pitted against each other with listeners backing us up. My team was trumped something horrible, but it was seriously in good fun. That said, I realized later that if it had been Rhey and I vs the listeners, we would have lost, no question. lol If I had thought this one was a trumping, that would have a been murder, a cremation and just all sorts of humilitating. lol Anyway, with that, i also realized that I have now officially been in JE fandom for over 4 years. I think my anniversary's actually in January. Regardless, this has been the longest I've been in a fandom (even longer than my obsession with Sailor Moon/CCS, I think!) and I'm really happy to be here. ♥♥♥
ii. That said... the only other thing that happened to me is I got UBER SICK this weekend. XDDDDD (see what I mean by I did pretty much nothing this past week?) It got so bad that I found myself in bed for a number of hours with only my tissue box and my laptop to keep me company. T.T I was primarily just glad that it hit after recording because the amount of sniffles that I had during recording would've tripled had I been as sick as I was later that night. T.T Thankfully have recovered even though it took me forever. I seriously hate being ill.
iii. I was about to move on and say that I really haven't watched anything of importance/interest/something that I'd want to flail about until I forgot that while I'd mentioned this show ALL OVER TWITTER, I haven't yet on LJ. I have found a new obsession (for the most part), Cake Boss. *___________* It's bad enough that whenever I watch something centered around food, all I want to do while watching/afterwards is eat whatever they're eating. (Like Chonmage Pudding for example where all I wanted afterwards was strawberry shortcake, yum.) But to activately watch a show centered around a bakery that features the crazy cakes (and sometimes their pies, cupcakes, whatever other desserts they sell)... I'M ABSOLUTELY CRAZY. And always craving their baked goods. But it is so fucking worth it. The cakes are absolutely gorgeous, albeit sometimes crazy (i mean really, why would you want a toilet cake that actually flushes? how disgusting is that?). And honestly a lot of the fun is showing how they get there, to seeing the final result. And the people that work there (I almost said characters and to an extent, they are somewhat like characters) are crazy and off the wall, but all together amusing. Of course I have my favorites (Joey and cousin Anthony!) but all of them are pretty damn awesome. :D And I'll say it again. THE CAKES ARE GORGEOUS. Seriously, you all should check it out.
I also want to go to the actual bakery. Hoboken's not too far from Manhattan and I think it's just a train ride away (and a walk), but I'm kind of not in the mood for lines and well, we'll see. I'll probably bend one day and go. But I think it'll likely be WORTH IT ALL. *________*
iv. So other things I've been up to than OD-ing on Cake Boss, writing my two je_whiteday fics. I should've been done with them ages ago (you know, when I got my assignment), but only I would finally settle on a plot the day before the thing is freaking due. I mean, sure, I gave myself an extention, but this is just sad. Thankfully, this morning I finished one of the two, and halfway (maybe more depending) on the other. But neither of this is important, because I want to talk about this. In doing some research for one of the fics, I watched a shitload of Ryuusei no Kizuna promo clips and I had a sudden plot idea. There should totally be AU fic for Ryuusei where their parents DON'T die. *__________* Can't you just imagine how interesting that would be? I personally think the bond between the siblings would not be as strong and maybe even a little distant. Okay, so I just really want Taisuke/Shizuna fic like now, but that's beyond the point. lol i may or may not be contemplating just writing this myself.
v. I'm looking into getting another part time job at FIT (a suggestion my mom had made--but I'm certain she was thinking more of a full time capacity, which I couldn't find any I could feasibly apply for). Getting all my shit together to apply for said job is SO HARD though. a;lsdkfjalskdfj I haven't really had many opportunities to actually do the "send resume, cover letter, references" thing since I got the job I have now thanks to a referral (yay C!). So hopefully, I can pull it off. While the commute will likely exhaust me back to my college years, I'm more hopeful at the idea of just being able to get more cash. askdfjalskdfj I honestly don't know where all my freaking money goes. Just saying.
P.S. Oh man, i had the biggest scare with my cell phone last Monday. I came home after work to find it GONE. It wasn't in a pocket that I usually keep it in so I was, predictably, freaking out. I knew it could only be one of two places - the subway or at work. THANKFULLY, it ended up being at work, but the funny part is that earlier that day, I had been talking about possibly getting a new phone. So when I told my parents it went missing, their reaction was, "you totally planned this, didn't you?" I was like, "thanks for the vote of confidence, guys."
P.P.S. apparently there's going to be a new iPhone in June (so my mom says which idk how accurate this is), so she's like, "wait until then! You can get my old iPhone and I'll just get the new one!" ...I am willing to take her up on this offer. Saves me money and she'll just get a new iPhone. lol
