2 July 01

Well, even though this entry is typed and posted on the 2nd of July, my friends, it begins *pose* on the 30th of June *hold pose*

I woke up like at 9.15 and realised I forgot to set up the Saturday morning cartoons. Actually, first I woke up and stared at the clock blankly and tried to figure out what day it was. Then I was like "It's Saturday." Then I wanted to go back to sleep and was trying to figure out if Saturday was significant for some reason. (You know, I keep typing Starday by mistake and then having to backspace... actually, I only get as far as Star and then I backspace.) Then I realised "Oh, I forgot to set up the cartoons and they're already going." And then I tried to figure out if I should get up and start taping now, or just go back to sleep. Because I really wanted to go back to sleep. But eventually I got up and put a tape in and started taping, then went back to bed. But then I couldn't fall asleep. ...but then I could, so I slept some more. Huzzah.

Then mum came into my room and woke me up. And I stared at the clock and it was 1.40. And the reason she woke me up was to give me the phone, so she gave me the phone and I took it and sort of lay there in a stupor cos I'm not a morning person O_o And then the phone said to my ear, "HIYEEEEEEEE!"

COS IT WAS VENELIZA CALLING ME

And I went "HIYEEEEEEE!" back and I was soooo happy!!!!! Mum later said it was really cool watching me be so happy over phone call once I knew who it was ^_^ Cos 97.56% of the time I hate having anything to do with the phone just about more than I hate *anything else.* Except the devil. I hate him more than the phone.

So I got her address and wrote it down and drew a little psycho picture with a blue ballpoint pen. o_o They're moving into their house next week. It's three storeys (but in Germany that's very common, and the houses are skinny so they're actually smaller than a normal house here despite being three storeys). Kefrin had, through the one and only phone call Zuki had previously made since going to Germany, learned that Pokémon and Digimon are very popular in Germany, and GET THIS

They have the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. Isn't that AWESOME?!

So anyway since I knew that I asked her about it, and apparently they leave all the English voices in it but some guy just translates what they're saying into German O_o She's gonna tape it for me, isn't that so awesome!? And in return I'm going to take Powerpuff Girls and stuff for her. Hurry and move so you can get your internet set up, Zucchan. I finished inking my picture for her but I still need ta colour it~

Oh. It just occurred to me that somebody reading this might possibly be confused. For reference, Veneliza = Zuki and its variants. And those who ask questions will be punished.

As for the rest of Saturday... (I typed Sta and then had to backspace) I... umm.... got on the computer... and .... forgot... what... I... did... it seems like I would have played video games, but I don't think I did... ummm.... oh! I started reading Les Misérables ^_^ I only got halfway through the first chapter, which is about Monseigneur Bienvenu, the bishop. He's SO COOOOL!!! Nyo. ...I wonder why I started saying "nyo," since I saw Digi Charat like three months ago and haven't seen it since-nyo. And even after I saw it, I didn't say "nyo," cos I was trying to think of a groovy sentence ender for myself. So I didn't say nyo when watching Digi Charat, but now I do-nyo. Weird. Long hair-san is cool, although I forget his actual name-nyo.

Mum and dad went to church, and then AnJa got back from working at Old Navy and the two of us went to church. And after church we went and ate at Chick-fil-A cos it was my turn to pick =D!!! We had coupons for free soda and "Icedream." Although I love the food at Chick-fil-A I do not love the Icedream. It's very frightening and I can't stand to eat it. I don't know what it is, but it doesn't *melt* the way normal ice cream-type substances do. I fear it. So AnJa and mum ate the Icedream cones (we had two coupons, each for a soda and a cone). Then we went to Wal-Mart and I carried around a huge stuffed trout, because I really want to get a lot of giant stuffed fish, but mum doesn't think a stuffed fish is a good investment. And we had a miscommunication which is not fun ;o See, me and AnJa were like "we're going to electronics," and dad and mum were going to look at grills (cos a grill is dad's Father's Day present which we decided to get for him but he needs to pick it and get it himself o_o) and then mum went to the bathroom and dad told her to meet us in the electronics section. So the three of us were in electronics and we waited for mum to show up. Only she didn't. I was afraid she'd fallen in, but we didn't want to go look for her in case she showed up. Of course one of us should have gone looking while the others stayed, but we just... didn't. Anyway we waited for like a half hour and finally went to the front and she was standing right there acting like we were the ones who'd stood her up u_u()() Turns out when dad told her to meet in electronics, she heard to meet at the checkout o_o Course I wasn't there so I don't actually know what was said. Anyway she explained it was because she hadn't really listened to what dad said because she really had to go =D() and just assumed to meet at the front. We all said sorry for miscommunication and went home. ;o

I remembered what I did on Saturday! Well, obviously since I got up at around two p.m. and then went to church a bit before six, it wasn't a very full day I had. But I remember! I copied the Utena movie for Yoshi XD I said I'd mail it this weekend but actually I'm going to mail it Monday (which is today, even though it feels like tomorrow).

...and after we got home from Wal-Mart I got on the computer and stayed on until 5 a.m. O_X

***Here I will include the thing I actually started this journal entry with since I'd forgotten I also needed to cover Saturday.***

I stayed up last night until 5 a.m. I know that's an incorrect thing to say, but one can't help what one perceives. Actually, to me it ought to still be the 1st of July cos it just should be. But anyway, I was up until 5 a.m. on the 1st of July, and when I went to bed I had insomnia until like 6.30 >_< I don't really mean to stay up so late... I just... do... so anyway, if anybody ever happens to see me online and it's past, say, 2.15 CST, IM me or something and say "GO TO BED." I probably won't obey you but at least I won't lose track of time. It's kinda dumb to lose track of time when there's a clock display permanently on the screen, but I'm a skilled zoner ;o

***end original opening for journal, resume normal journal stuff***

Ho ho ho ho. It's after 2.15 CST right now ;o But I'm not going to bed until I finish this entry!!! And I probably will stay up even after that because I'm stupid.

...anyway as for today, or yesterday rather, but it ought to be today. After falling asleep at 6.30 am, I was awakened around... 10? Maybe 11... Oh, I totally forgot. I think it was 10, but I can't remember. And my cousin Mallory is turning 9 tomorrow (actually today) but she had birthday celebration today (actually yesterday), so we drove up to Austin and I took my binder with pencil and brand new click eraser (since we got new ones at Wal-Mart XD) as well as Les Mis. We stopped for soda and I ate a bolillo for breakfast. I wouldn't even have eaten that if mum and dad hadn't made me eat something. I don't get hungry in the morning. *shrug* Then, we got to Aunt Chris's house and said hallo to everyone (Chris, Ron [uncle], Mallory [very-soon-to-be 9-year-old], and Grace [5-year-old]). Then Chris and mum went out shopping for something and I sat on a chair and felt bad.

Do not read the rest of the journal entry. Unless you don't mind reading about someone who is me having troubles related to gender.

I tried to go to sleep for a bit cos I was really tired (that happens when you go to bed at 5 a.m. and get up again before noon). Then everyone except me (and Chris and mum who were out) went swimming and I didn't. But instead of going to sleep I read Les Mis. =D I got to the chapter in "Fantine" called "Javert". Javert is cool. Yeah. Then I started instead of just being tired, feeling bad. That's cos it's that time. *ahem* (I TOLD YOU NOT TO READ IT ANYMORE IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM) ...after all this IS a journal, I just happen to have a bunch of people peeking. In addition to normal period stuff, which is bad enough on its own, I also get extremely worn out and very pale when I have mine O_o Anyway I felt like crud. Aunt Chris shared her personal remedy for such troubles: a shot of whiskey. XD (I didn't have one though) Then we went to Grandy's for Mallory's birthday meal. It was sooo cheap. Well, it was actually expensive, but I mean, you know, other than monetarily it was cheap. They were out of cole slaw and chicken O_O It's a CHICKEN place, and they were out of chicken. But the biscuits were good. I drank a soda and took some Pamprin. Then I got really tired again and sorta curled up in the booth and floated in and out of awareness. Dad nudged me after a while and said we were going, but everyone else was still sitting down so I didn't get up. Then we left for real and I felt sooo stoned. I mean stoned as in, you know, medicine drowsiness, cos believe it or not, I've never actually abused any substances other than caffeine ;o I was all dizzy and weak and my skin felt hollow. (I know that sounds weird, but it's the best way to describe the feeling) When we got back to Chrissy's house to have cake and stuff, mum just took me upstairs and put me to bed in the guestroom. A little later AnJa brought me a can of Dr. B and a shot of whiskey o_x and she was like "It's okay, we checked the ingredients, it's not going to react badly" and apparently mum or someone had said it was okay, but I just wanted to go to sleep and I felt very incoherent and I think I just kept repeating something like "no I don't want it, I just want to sleep" and AnJa was like "okay" and then she said "I have effectively brought you a whiskey and soda" and it was funny but I was too incoherent to laugh and then she left. A few minutes later she came in and got the shot of whiskey and took it away. I don't know what all that was about.

Mum came and woke me up a little before we were supposed to leave and I managed to get up. I still felt very tired, but no longer stoned, and I didn't have cramps *yay*. The adults (who by this time included Steve and Jean, another uncle-aunt set) were playing Bop It and the kids (who now included Dan and Mike, children of the lately mentioned) were amusing selves with a really huge ball thing that I guess Mallory got for her birthday. It kinda sucked missing the cake and presents and everything. But what are you gonna do, eh. Actually, for a long time Chrissy thought I didn't like her because I always seemed to conveniently "get sick" whenever she was around. In reality, it's just that for some reason whenever I visit her / get visited I magically always have my period o_x ...and before I had gotten my period, I still was always sick when around her, and I don't know what that was about, but I truly honestly was sick and I never faked it even once cos she's my favourite aunt even though I'm always sick and can't do stuff with her O_o

Then we came home-nyo. I still felt kinda tired and stoned, but that doesn't make me stop loving Brad Swaile. *blink* (do not ask.) And then, I watched Andromeda which comes on at 12.30 here ;o This is the second time I've seen it, the first time being last week when it came on right after X-Files, which I was watching randomly since AnJa had it on in her room while she was flossing. I kinda dig it. *shrug* Last week I predicted the plot of the episode after the very first bit O_O See, they went through a wormhole or something and ended up near Horsehead nebula, and two of the people were talking about the famous battle of Horsehead that occurred 300 years before, and the ship (who is a pretty lady appearing to be about a quarter Asian) said there was no debris, so maybe there wasn't a battle of Horsehead Nebula. I dunno why the ship is a pretty lady and also a ship. It just is. AnJa thought maybe the battle had been a government conspiracy, but that kinda stuff doesn't happen on these shows. *shrug* I said, "Oh, they accidentally went back in time, and the Battle of Horsehead is about to occur." And WHO was right? ME!

This week they met another ship who was also a lady, only they didn't know she was the ship. She wasn't as pretty as Andromeda ship. And she was creepy because she would writhe around looking binary. The episode didn't really make sense, because this ship lady had been alone for 300 years and hated life and wanted to die but wouldn't self-destruct even though she was supposed to and kind of wanted to. Nyo, I found three embodiments on that show, too. If you look up "gimp" in the dictionary, you see a picture of Harper, the mechanic type dude who's short and gimp. And if you look up "hoss" in the dictionary you see a picture of Tyr who's SO COOL and he's hoss XD ...and if you look up "wrong" in the dictionary you see a picture of the old captain of the ship (Warreg or something) and the ship itself sucking face >_< *has nightmares about it*

Anyway, I decided mostly everyone on the show is cool except this random blonde lady. I don't know who she is, first mate or something, but she's random. There's this pale chick named Trance who's cool, and Tyr is COOOOOOOL, and Rev is COOOOOOOL, and Harper is cool because he's such a dork, and the captain (whose name is Dylan even though it's very wrong for the captain of a starship to be named Dylan, IMHO) is cool because he's Kevin Sorbo, I guess. I guess the blonde chick isn't uncool, she just seems random compared to everyone else. Andromeda's not really cool or uncool. Oh, but the captain is kind of uncool because he's like... a manwhore. I can't even tell who his love interest is supposed to be. Bah.

I started FF8 last night (actually, it was yesterday morning at about 12 something) and I was sad because I didn't get to name Quistis ;_; but she's really cool. I wanted to name her Phrotus. I named Squall Jackie XD As for the GF I got so far, I named Quetzalcoatl (or however they misspelled it) Techalotl. (that's the Aztec squirrel god XD) Shiva became Yuki-Onna, and Ifrit... umm... actually I forgot. I'll tell you later. I chose the 20 minute setting because I didn't know how hard it would be, but I finished the Fire Cavern mission in under 10 minutes actually. If anyone out there actually took 30 or 40 minutes to do it, I want to tell you that YOU SUCK. Not really. Well, you do, but I suck just as badly since I lost to Deus about 16.43 million times before finally winning. *shrug*

Now I will go. A lot less of the latter journal bit was about my feminine troubles than I had foreseen... hmm. Well, it's not like anyone stopped reading anyway, so it doesn't really matter. The journal entry is over, so have fun doing something constructive with your time!
