So I'm definitely sick. I was hoping it was just due to exhaustion since I was so damn tired after the 7 hour drive on Sunday. I thought I was getting better regardless of the scratchiness in my throat, but today there's no doubt that I'm getting something. I just hope that it won't be that same throat cold that I had back in March. I lost my voice for half a day because of that but that didn't stop me from trying to talk.

Now I have the decision of either:

A) Staying home again today to let my body rest (I've been doing that all week since I've been feeling pretty crappy and lightheaded.

or

B) Forcing myself out to do a few things that aren't urgent.

At the moment I might be leaning more towards option A just because I don't like really driving when my head's all cloudy and dizzy. I mean I could walk to where I want to go, but walking for 45 mins in 30+ weather isn't always that great to do when your head just wants to continuously spin.

In other news:

I've gotten back into the mood to making icons. Although I felt so out of practice yesterday since it took me all day to finish off one -points up to new icon being used- Granted, it was the problem of 'adding text' that really was the reason why I got stuck since the rest of the icon only took me an hour or so to actually complete. Man! Why do I keep doing the whole 'text' thing to myself. I know that it's always the thing that throws me off and puts me in a bind, and I keep thinking 'oh, I'll do my next one without text' then what do I do? The next bloody icon I make feels like it should have text in it =_=;;

-kicks text based icons-

Hmm oh, did I mention my severe disappointment when it comes to the Shaman King series? There I was happily reading the chapters and it was getting to the point where Yoh and co were halfway through the Patch Tribe in order to go and stop Hao.... and then... it just.... ends. As in 'completed', dropped, never going to be friggin' picked up again and leaving us ALL disappointed and wanting more -cries- it was so damn EVIL! Why go through 32 volumes (285) chapters of a plot and get so damn close to the end of the plot and decide to drop a series? Like, I can understand if it was only a few books into it, but come oooooooooon -whines pathetically-

So yes... I'm very disappointed in the series.

I did get to read the Suikoden V anthology manga though.... aaaah it made me giggle so much ♥ (speaking of Suikoden, it seems that Konami has licensed another Suikoden title which makes me squee fangirlishly - I'm so friggin' happy that there will be another Suiko game ♥ That reminds me, I also still need to finish Tierkreis >.>)

Also... I'm debating whether or not to change my mood theme... I've got one already made (finished it months ago) but I'm finding it difficult to give up my PoT mood-theme :( but I also don't want the other one to go to waste either since I made it specially -sighs- maybe I should give it a go for a few weeks, and if it feels too weird, then I'll change it back... since I do so totally adore the PoT mood-theme.

-changes mood theme-

So! The rest of my trip needs to be written about!

Friday: I drove from Vancouver down to Seattle that day. It (surprisingly) didn't take too long to get through the border this time (the last time it took us over 3 hours), and we were through in about 30 minutes, yay \o/ We had to go inside though since I'm travelling on an Australian passport. I had to try so hard not to laugh while I was getting my VISA processed... the Homeland security people in there had the funniest last names... almost all of them were lol-worthy lulz like... Wooman -snickers- then there was Slowpak and Lopez (which isn't a funny name but makes me think of Lopez from RvB ♥ )

ANYWAY! We got through the border at a good pace and drove the rest of the way down to Seattle. Our hotel was right at the end of Pine St (near the Pike Place Markets). It was pretty damn snazzy and ZOMG! The bed was so wonderfully comfortable \o/ Much nicer than the hostel bed I was on earlier D:

We caught the bus down to my sister's place so that I could not only see her, Mum and my other sister, but my new niece as well. Of course they were just happy to get their Cobs I'd bought the day before and basically stole it from me when I went in so they could have lunch lulz. Anywho~ I got to hold Elsa and man did I feel all awkward and out of place holding a baby. Mum and Alex were all like, keep jiggling! it will keep the baby quiet since she thinks she's being rocked... so I jiggled like I'd never jiggled before... then they laughed mainly because they didn't tell me it was only when it was when Elsa was about to cry =_=;

It was a good afternoon, but over way too quickly, but we still had some shopping to do! So after leaving my sister's place, we headed right in to China Town ♥ Which was both a good and a bad thing >.>;; On the bus, however, there was a creepy guy trying to stalk us from the bus stop and over to China Town. Luckily the sight of the cops chased him off and we ran over to Kinokuniya ♥ I so love that bookshop~ but I did so much damage in there D: Ended up getting a crapload of manga and artbooks, not to mention a dirty Japanese phrase book \o/ But I did manage to score the new KKM artbook and the FFVIIACC postcard book :3 Then we went into the adjoining supermarket... and $70 later we walked out with WAAAAAY too much stuff. I'm terrible when it comes to Asian supermarkets =_= There's just too much good stuff in them!

Oh and I have to say, that the US Debit system sucks monkey balls. Almost nowhere accepts Canadian debit cards. It's friggin' retarded!

Anyway~ after dropping off our shopping back to the hotel, it was off to PF Changs! ZOMG! I so love that restaurant ♥ their Kung Po Beef is the best \o/ that's what I had, of course, then I was so damn full after =\ but that was cool~ since we just went to see Transformers 2 again :3

So that was my Friday!

Saturday was concert day, and the main reason why we went to Seattle in the first place. It was the Final Fantasy Distant Worlds concert that had Nobuo Uematsu attending it. So like... we were walking to the building trying to find exactly where to go in, and while we were walking, there was a Japanese old guy wearing the weirdest clothing I'd ever seen (on a normal street in the US). We had the split second thought of 'crazy Japanese... but he looks like... nah' before heading into the building. Well... it wasn't until about halfway through the concert that it all clicked and fell into place... and I realised that the weird Japanese old man we saw.... was in fact... Nobuo Uematsu with his body guard O_o;; We'd walked right by him and didn't fully realise just who it was lulz

I had a good laugh over that :3

The concert was pretty good. I only had two minor nitpicks with it. The first being that they played five FFVIII songs where most other series were lucky to get two songs played - which was disappointing. I know FFVIII had some great scores in it, but there were heaps of others they could have played instead. Although, they did play the Zidane/Blank sword battle score from FFIX ♥ My other nitpick was with the encore song: One Winged Angel (not surprised there). The chorus wasn't grunty enough to make it an outstanding version, and I thought it wasn't as well done as the Night in Fantasia concert we went to in Sydney. One awesome part about the OWA encore though... was that Nobuo got up and 'sang' with the choir ♥ so that was pretty neat :)

I'm considering whether to go to the one in Vancouver in October or not. I haven't decided yet.

So I'm back in Kamloops now, after a 7 hour drive, and I think I'm now getting sick -sighs- I guess it's lucky that I ended up quitting my work since I feel pretty polly-wolly-crappy.

So, it's my last day here in Vancouver (again), and I'm a little over halfway through my road trip. It's been pretty neat so far. Chrissy and I went down to Kelowna over the weekend (which I wrote about the other day) then caught the greyhound from Kamloops to Vancouver Sunday. The bus driver got lost along the way /o\ he had no idea where he was going after the second drop off, and not only that, he almost hit a few cars and cyclists along the way. Then, of course, we got in an hour late =_=;;

SO THAT WAS MY FUN AND EXCITING SUNDAY!

Monday was pretty awesome as well. Got to meet a new friend and hang out with them for the day. I had a lot of fun doing that, and we ended up chatting about random topics for 5 hours or so ♥ then I went back to the apartment to hang out with Chrissy and we ended up watching Flight of the Conchords for the rest of the night. OMG I so adore that show ♥

Tuesday I met Chrissy down at Blenz (I so adore their hot chocolates) for lunchie-munchie, which was nice, before a whole bunch of Aussies went to Tinsel Town to watch The Proposal. It wasn't too bad, actually. Your typical romantic comedy and it was fun (even if I wouldn't watch it again).

Wednesday I caught up with continuum for lunch. We had Thai and it was awesome. I've so missed Thai food (and you of course Mel ♥). It was a pretty good afternoon, and Mel was so kind as to pull me away from the iPod touches (they're so shiny!) before I weakened and bought one I so don't need a 4th iPod, seriously. I also bought some Manga from the gift certificates Chrissy got me for my bday. I got some yaoi titles (no surprise there) and then was left with the task of finding one more book to buy... All I can say is that I'm VERY glad I decided to go back to try and find one more book... because I found a first volume release of a manga series I thought they would never release in English.

Gestalt.

I have absolutely adored, loved and cherished that series ever since I first saw the anime of it back in 2000. It has been, and remains, one of my all time favourite series so I was super excited to see that they were finally releasing it out in English -squees with fangirlish delight- so I had to buy it *_____* I'll finally get to understand what's going on with Olivier and Ouri -hearts them both-

Wednesday night I caught up with a few other friends, and we went to the funkiest little sushi bar I've ever seen in my entire life... I loved everything about it ♥ It had bad puns, seriously, all throughout the menu and sea creatures (like sharks and stuff) hanging from the ceiling)... but it was the bad puns that really sold it for me.

-snuggles bad puns-

Then, of course, it was after 10pm and we had to part - which was sad T___T they're never enough time to catch up with everyone -cries-

ANYWAY!

Now it's Thursday, and I only had one thing on my list. Get Cobs items. Then, of course, I remembered about the other manga shop while I was out, so I completely walked by cobs and went ahead to the comic shop, bought 3 more manga there, before going for a nice long walk. I was in a somewhat reflective/nostalgic/thoughtful mood and wasn't quite ready to head back. So I walked... and continued to do so until I thought I better stop. It wasn't for very long - maybe an hour - before I mentally decided that I'd stop at the next Blenz I come across (sad when there are that many here in Vancouver, but it's shitloads better than Starschmucks). I sat in there with a hotchocolate for 45 mins to an hour reading one of my new books, before I thought I better start heading back to get the Cob's I'd originally gone out to buy.

The walk gave me time to think - something I've been needing to do for a long time, but have just been putting it off. I'm not entirely at an answer to my problem yet, but at least I've started to get the cogs churning.

But now I'm tired... so I might run off and have a 30 minute doze before Chrissy comes home.

So I'm currently in Kelowna at the moment with Chrissy, and it's been an awesome day! She arrived in Kamloops just after 11:30pm Friday night before we drove out this morning for the beginning of my 9 day roadtrip. To sum up today in one word, it would be 'awesome'

We arrived and found our funky little hostel without too much problem. Went for a walk to the park on the lake, had lunch at this funky little natural cafe, then returned back to the park to take a nap in the sun while lying on the grass. It was so damn relaxing and awesome~ We went to see Public Enemy after our nap - was a little disappointed in the movie, but the last half was alright, before going for a walk around the other end of the downtown area.

I broke my shoe though -is sad- but I fortunately had a spare pair in my bag, yay!

ANYWAY! We came across the 'expensive touristy area' and found that they were having a blues and Jazz concert. We didn't want to pay $15ea to get in, so we snuck under the tape and went to watch it. That only lasted about 45 mins before we were kicked out by security lulz

Then it was the nice walk back to the hostel after that <3

So yeah, it's noisy and hot in the room, but it has been a good day. I should head to bed though >.>

You know it's bad when it gets to the last two days of work, and you really don't want to have anything to do with it. The time drags on, you're bored out of your brain, but you don't want to do anything either. That's what I'm having to deal with at this moment, and how I felt at work yesterday. It was just lucky that I finally thought of using the work email account to email others just to pass the time... even if chibi_nataku was the poor unfortunate soul that I was bugging.

I'll probably end up doing it again tonight after the boss goes home >.>;;

Two more shifts... and then... then I'm finally free and able to run around Canada and BC without working it around my work schedule \o/ I'm highly excited over that :D

Did I happen to mention I'm now an aunty? My sister gave birth to her daughter yesterday morning \o/ and to top it off, my brother told me his wife is expecting their first child in Jan, so I'm doubly excited, yay! I'm happy for them both ^o^

Anyway~ I should run~ Since I've got my hell shift at work today =_=;;

I should so be in bed since I've got to get up in less than 7 hours, but that's fine, since I seem to only be sleeping 4 - 5 hours per night anyway /o\ But I just had to say a few things.

1) I finally saw Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen last night.... and all I have to say is... I was so totally fangirling in it from the moment the movie started.... Ravaaaaaage OMG! Ravage ♥ and let's not forget Soundwave. My two absolutely favourite Decepticons of all time \o/ They both totally made the movie even if Soundwave wasn't in it much =|

The whole Megatron/Starscream OTP thing always amuses the hell out of me, and I can't help but giggle at their interactions each time ♥ Bumble Bee was awesome, same with a few of the other Autobots, and all the human cast was just as great :D

Best quote in the movie ( cut for spoiler (of sorts) )

So all in all, if you enjoyed the first one, then you'll enjoy the second one just as much \o/

2) Okay okay.... I've readdicted myself back onto babylon 5 ♥ I haven't watched the series since I was living in the Philippines, but I've finally decided to collect seasons 1 -4 (not sure about 5 yet since it's not as good). All I can say is, Londo is (and always will be) my absolute favourite B5 character. He is so fucking awesome ♥

I want to really get ahead and watch seasons 3 and 4 (the best out of all 5), but it's been so long that I'm really enjoying the bad acting in the first season :)

Anyway~ It was just a quick update and I really should try and get a good few hours sleep in tonight (if possible) - especially since I've gott'a work /o\

So... I've got 99% of my trip all planned out. I'll be heading down to Kelowna with Chrissy on the 4th of July and leaving there either the 5th or 6th to head over to Vancouver. Staying there until the 10th of July before finally heading down to Seattle for the FF orchestra concert for the 11th - Nobuo will be at the concert ♥ but I wasn't willing to pay another $100US just to meet him -blows a raspberry- it's ridiculous and I won't pay it! Especially since I got to meet not only Yasunori Mitsuda for free at that concert in Sydney, but also Hitoshi Sakimoto, Junichi Nakatsuru, Go Shiina, Yoko Shimomura, and Kou Outani at the same concert. Yes, Nobuo Uematsu is a legend in his own right, but the other VG composures are just as awesome~ -so fangirled over Yasunori-

On another RL note. I'm still not sleeping very well -sighs- I'm lucky to get a solid 5 hours each night despite attempts to try and get at least 7 =| I've no idea what the problem is, but I just can't get a good night sleep, and it's been what? Over a week now? =_=;; It really sucks since I'm exhausted all the time. It probably doesn't help that my stomach's been feeling upset for the last couple of days either, and I'm basically down to eating minimal amounts of food for breakfast, forcing down a sandwich for lunch, and trying to eat dinner just so then I'll have something in my stomach. Maybe I'll try and have something proper for lunch today and see if it wont upset me.



Man... I've been wanting a weekend off for a while now, and now that I've got it, I've got no idea as to what I want to do D: IDK maybe I'll watch some Psych or play Guitar Heroes or something... although... I still have to finish Suikoden at some point >.>;;; Gah! I wish there was someone online to RP with! Why do people have to work when I'm not working? T__T What I really want to do is finish that thread in HG, but chibi_nataku won't be around for at least another 5.5 - 6 hours =_=;;

Did I mention that my obsession over Reno and Zack is returning in full force? I just don't know what it is about it... but damn those two get along like a house on fire =_=;;

All I have to say is... Timeless is sucking my soul~~~ and I like it ♥ I'm so damn addicted to that game atm that it's seriously not funny =\

It probably doesn't help that there's a great friggin' cast of players and characters, and I'm really glad that I decided to pick up Zack again as a PC. It's been, what? 3 years since I last played him? Waaaaaah if only I didn't have to work =|

Zell + Zack = best goddamn bromance in the history if all things RP, btw \o/

Hells Gate is getting pretty damn interesting as well \o/ Poor Yuuri, though, he ended up dying halfway through Nightshift by death from horse. It was pretty damn amusing - I have to admit. Armand always makes me giggle ♥ The Rin/Cloud/Sephiroth deal also amuses the crap out of me, and strangely enough, I actually think that Rin and Sephiroth work together fairly well, so it will be interesting to see their future threads together.

Anyway~ I should probably head off to stupid work -kicks it-

Only 10 more work days~~ \o/

So.... it's 6am... I went to bed at 11pm'ish... couldn't get to sleep for hours... and woke up at 5am (if I'm stretching it).

-sighs-

Today's going to be a great -insert sarcasm- day.

So work really sucks at the moment, and I've been one breath away from quitting and brushing my hands of it. A good weekend away though (don't get me started on that work problem) has given me time to think, and I'm going to try one last thing before making up my mind one way or another. What is that, you say? That is simply going to the other store here and talking to the manager there. I'm at a loss for what to do with my own manager, since every talk I've had with her seems to have been in one ear and purposefully out the next.

So I'm heading there in a little under 30 minutes to get her opinion on the matter. I'm a little nervous, yes, but at least I can say I've put in the effort regardless of what way she answers.

I don't know.... I keep thinking that I've got no argument and that I'm being nothing but selfish, but I've tried talking to my boss about my frustrations and what not, and I though we were all on the same page with that, but it looks as though I was wrong. I should just learn my lesson -sighs- but yeah, my biggest fear is that the other manager will be like 'suck it up princess, you have to do whatever she says' sort of deal and basically say that I'm being a selfish employee.

Man I hope that's not the case. I'm trying to look at it objectively, but it's so hard!

So yeah, I'm pretty nervous atm, and the closer I get the worse I'm beginning to feel. I really hate stirring up trouble, but I'd feel terrible if I just upped and left without at least putting in the effort. So who knows, I might be unemployed soon enough.

I suppose I should head off and get myself ready.

Has it really been a month since I last posted?

Did I happen to mention that I finally got my new passport? SO I'M ALL GOOD TO TRAVEL AGAIN UNTIL APRIL 2019, YEY \o/ I feel all special even though I'll be an old woman by the time I need a new one. I've just finished preparing and mailing in the information needed to extend my Working Holiday VISA here in Canada, and (with some luck) I'll be hearing back from them at the end of May/beginning of June. Waaah I just want to know one way or another what's going to happen, and once I find that out, then I'll have to begin the process of taking another leave of absence from University, but I've got until mid-June to send that off.

It's sort of hard to believe that I've almost been gone for a whole year. It's gone by so quickly, and while I think that I haven't been here for very long at all, another part of me feels as though I've been here forever. I always find it funny when I think about things like that. Especially when considering that if all goes according to plans (yes, I'm still big on plans) then I'll only be in Canada for another 8 months before heading down to the USA for a further 5 months. After that I'll be heading back home to Australia to return to my studies.

It's not that long, especially when I think that this time next year I'll be in Florida again with my parents.

Time seriously goes way too quickly, imo, and I'm not liking just how quickly it goes.

What else?

Oh! Apparently one of Adelaide's hotels made it into the worlds favourite hotels, yay! Not to mention that it beat all of Australia's other hotels, go Adelaide! It came in at 24th - which is pretty damn impressive, especially since the Sheraton in Sydney came in at 38th XDDD (Well, technically the Adelaide Hilton did come in at number 752, but I'm not counting that)

My sister's thinking of having her child either on the 22nd of 24th of June (she has to have a c-section), which will be good, because it means that she'll be born a few weeks before I head down to Seattle for that FF concert. I'm not very good with kids, but I do want to at least see my niece... wow... that just felt really weird saying that.

I finally went to see Wolverine Origins last night for the 'first' time at least in the cinema. OMG I still love Gambit. It makes me want to RP him so badly =\ Every time I watch him in the movie it makes me squee a little more on the inside, and I keep thinking... but I could just pick him up and... NO!! I can't! I don't need another character even if I've already made a character journal for him.

Very looking forward to the new Terminator movie coming out. Not to mention the next Transformers and Night at the Museum movie. Oh, and did I mention Public Enemy as well? It's got Johnny Depp in it, what's not to like? ;D I so have to go and see those movies >.>

On a work related note, I had the cutest little girl come into the shop yesterday. HOMG! I don't usually like kids, but this one was so damn cute. She came up to me holding one of our long-haired cat stuffed animals, and was like:

L.Girl: My grandpa had a cat like this once. She was a trouble maker.
Me: Oh, really? We used to have one as well. Her name was Little.
L.Girl: My name's Emma. I'm five years old.
Me: Oh are you? Hello Emma. I'm Ozzy.
Emma's Mum comes over, and we start talking about family pets. After five minutes into the conversation:
Emma: -nudges her Mum and harshly whispers- Mum, introduce yourself.

She was so damn cuuuuuuute and it almost made me wish that I had a kid of my own, almost.

* I was watching Underbelly: A Tale of Two Cities, today and I'd always thought that the actor who plays the character 'George Freeman' looked a hell of a lot like Hugh Jackman. ANYWAY! After watching Wolverine and returning to watch Underbelly, I found that the actor playing George Freeman is the same actor that plays Wolverine's 'father' in the movie. I knew he looked familiar when I saw him in the movie.

** Random thought: I really hate making decisions sometimes - especially when going one way will take you on one road, and the other way a completely different one -sighs-

I suppose I should get ready for work. It's day three of my 6 day week =_=

All I've got to say is.... HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! This is the version, and only version of Advent Children that should have ever been released ♥

1) Cloud isn't so much of an idiot (Still emo boy, but his intelligence level has gone up a few notches \o/)

2) Fucking Turks man!!!! Reno... Rude... Tseng... Elena... but it's mainly Reno and Rude... HOMG!!! I don't want to give any spoilers but Reno/Rude/Yazoo/Loz so fuckin' awesome!

3) I have to say that, without a doubt, Loz is now my all-time favourite remnant. He is just so fucking awesome and full of win in one particular scene... not to mention what Yazoo does just after was just as damn awesome... I so want to watch their fight scene again =|

4) THE PLOT MAKES MOAR SENSE!! Especially Cloud's conversation with Rufus at the beginning of the movie.

5) Cloud/Denzil and Cloud/Marlene moments were so damn cute. Especially Marlene in her conversation with Cloud. She had me loling from her awesomeness, and I tell you, I was never a Marlene fan until that single moment (around one hour into the movie). ZOMG! Too cute <3

6)The Cloud and Sephiroth battle.... was like: okay... nothing much changed here except added sound for Masamune (his weapons basically 'sings' - which is awesome) and a few bits more of Negative Lifestream before everything changed... and all I can say is... Squeenix actually surprised me with their brutality. It was... wonderful (as morbid and terrible it makes me sound).

7) Rude + boom-stick = Full. Of. Win.

Disappointments of the movie. There wasn't much to be honest. Almost all of what they added really made the movie that much better, but there was one scene in particular that I was disappointed that they'd changed.

( DO NOT CLICK IF YOU DO NOT WANT SPOILERS )

So yeah... that was the main disappointment I had with the movie. Apart from that if was SO TOTALLY FUCKING AWESOME!!!

Now I need to head to bed before I begin fangirling again \o/

Has anyone else read Kyou Kara Maou manga vol.2? There are so many errors throughout the first part of it that it's almost funny haha Gwendal is now apparently Wolfram, Wolfram is Gwendal, Gunter is Cheri, Cheri Aldbert (haha <3), and Aldbert is now Gunter. It was rather amusing >.> especially when you add to the fact that a little later in the first chapter Wolfram calls Yuuri Wolfram lulz.

Oooh the errors ♥

Hmm what else? I got back from my trip on Sunday. Sleeping's been a bitch until about yesterday, but I've finally adjusted back to the timezone (even though I'll have to do it again Sunday -sighs-). I'm going to do a post about my trip, but not this one (since I'm too lazy atm >.>) ANYWAY! I've been enjoying it here spending time with my parents and Kitti ♥

Speaking of Mum and Kitti, she noticed that Kitti was outside intensely inspecting the pool filter. Aka she was bent over the edge of the poor as her ears skimmed the top of the water and one paw was swiping within the filter. Mum had no idea what she was doing, and after turning the pool filter on, she saw a mouse scrambling... no swimming/scrambling out of the filter and around the boundary of the pool. She made a mad grab for Kitti and ran in saying 'I think there's a mouse in the pool!'

My sister and I ran out there to pluck it from the water. My sister ran to get the pool cleaner head while I grabbed the extending rod it attaches to. We attached the two together, but by the time we got it all together, the damn mouse had swum its way back into the damn filter -face!palms-

So I popped off the filter's lid and saw the damn mouse beginning to get sucked down into the water. The net end of the cleaner was useless now (since it wouldn't fit into the filter area), so I had to try and use the other end to get under the flailing/drowning mouse back up to the surface while she grabbed the brush. It slipped from the end of the pole a few times, but by the time I managed to get it above water and stay there, my sister was back with the brush. We managed to pull the poor thing out and placed it out in the garden afterwards.

Hopefully the little mouse survived, but we did what we could and that's all we could hope for.

I shouldn't even be up this late. I'm sick and should be getting rest, but I'm just not tired yet. Damn timezone differences -shakes fist- But yeah, it's always the way. Sunday, the day before heading off to Florida, I wake up with a sore throat. Monday it's the same, and Tuesday was pretty much the same + wonderful coughing fits, yay for coughing fits + public \o/

TODAY! Though, I woke up only after a shitty 5 hours of sleep (if I am lucky) only to find out that -drum rolls- I HAD LOST MY VOICE. Yay! -is shot-

It was not fun. I seriously couldn't talk after getting up, but I found the best way to get your voice to work properly again is to not stop talking! So from the moment I went down to see Mum, I basically continually talked about random things with her for hours... and it slowly got better. I could talk near-properly again by around 2pm'ish - which I was happy about. Although I've had no one to verbally talk with for the past hour or so, so now my voice has stuffed up again D:

I'm just hoping that it goes away (or isn't so bad) tomorrow morning since we're flying out to London that night D: I really want to kick the majority of it (especially the coughing fit part) by then since I hate travelling while sick D:

-sighs-

ANYWAY! I'll be virtually net-less for the next 10 days (until the 22nd) while I'm away on my trip!

HAHAHA!!! This just made my day:

This is an emergency, my McNuggets are an emergency

Why am I not surprised that it happened in Florida? ♥

There is just one thing I would like to know. How can you possibly respect someone who doesn't respect themselves?

I'm trying to find a reason why, but when I continue to think about why I'd lost my respect for them in the first place, I end up getting mad all over again. I mean, how can someone be so goddamn stupid?! It's infuriating beyond all belief, and regardless of the relation, I just don't think it's anything we... I will be able to ever get over if she goes through with this.

Don't you hate it that the one thing you've been looking forward to the entire day... happens when you decide to go and quickly do something else while you wait T___T

I had to snicker at work yesterday. I served this one lady and her surname was 'Wolfram'. Completely random, but I thought it was amusing >.> It was a strange day at work yesterday, but I wouldn't say it was a bad one. I ended up having lunch with Nicole M (the girl who works at the booth out front of my store). I was trying to be good and I brought my own sandwich (since I spend way too much money these days). We finished lunch, and she's all like.... 'damn... now I feel like ice cream' as she glances over to the rude woman who decided to sit next to us with an ice cream from Purdy's. I'm weak-willed, I'm the first to admit to that, and I easily caved in and said we should do it =_=;; It was damn tasty ice cream as well >.>

Nicole M works at a golf range (it's a golf clothes booth across from my store) and she was telling me how she was the only female working at the golf range that was certified to drive the Fire Truck... and I was so jealous! I want to ride in one! She said that if I went down to the range in the summer that she'd take me for a spin, but I'm sure that was just her being nice. Still, Fire Truck ride = awesome ♥

Gott'a head off to work in a little under an hour. I don't mind Thursday's too much since I only have to work with my boss for 3 hours, and then I've got the rest of the night with Nicole N (there are like, three friggin' Nicole's that I talk to at work... Nicole B, Nicole M, and Nicole N). She makes me laugh so tonight should be at least entertaining. I think Dan's working at the booth out front of work as well, so I'll probably pester him at some point as well.

I'm all caught up with Psych and Monk again - which I'm happy about. Gus and Shawn always make me laugh, but I'm a little sad that there are only two more episodes left before the end of season 3 T_T I hope they bring out a season 4 -hearts to Psych- 16 episodes just isn't enough, tbh. At least it's not as bad as Dexter which has only 12 episodes per season, but still... I NEED MOAR PSYCH! What am I supposed to watch from March until July when Psych finishes? -pouts unhappily-

Speaking of watching. I really need to catch up on Gundam 00 >.> I haven't watched it since like, episode 13 and I'm beginning to fall behind =_= I've just been too addicted to Lego Batman and Dungeon Keeper to watch anything, and when I'm not playing either of those, I'm RPing.

I'm charging up my DS atm. I've been neglecting playing Chrono Trigger, but I'm getting back into that game. Chrono Trigger needs more love ♥ I've also gotten into the bad habit of reading yaoi novels during my lunch break >.> the bad thing is, I get to the good bits, and I have to go back and work! This is what happens when the Starcraft novels (about Tassadar) run out, but I've still got one about the Dark Templar that mention my favourite boy, but I might take that on my trip down to my parents in March.

Anyway, I should head off. I've got to start getting ready for work -sighs-

I need to make more icons

...I am... just so fucking enraged at this point in time. To the point where I want to hurt one specific person so much, that they will forever regret what they've fucking done and never recover. They better fucking pray that they never see me again, because if they do, they better run in the other fucking direction before I catch sight of them.

Just... what the FUCK.

EDIT: And to make this day even better, I just found out that I have to work three Saturday's in a fucking row. So much for the whole 'managers work once every two Saturdays'. This is just fucking bullshit.

Over 130 fucking people so far, and they're predicting it could top over 230 people killed in the weekend fires throughout Victoria, Australia. Not to mention that over 770 homes have been destroyed. I just couldn't even imagine what those firefighters, volunteers, police and victims are going through at this moment. I keep reading that there were charred remains in cars and homes as fires travelling as fast as 120km (74mph) per hours tore through the countryside. That's not to mention that the heat from the flames was deadly even at a far distance away or the deadly gases and smoke being released.

I hope they find the fucking bastard(s) who started this whole bloody mess and throw them through the ringer. I doubt they'll be able to find any partial jurors for that court case.
