yay, i've encoded a few cd's to mp3 format.. you can get them from me via aim if you'd like.. or if i'm feeling nice i'll sign on to crapster.. username is hikaritcl. let's see.. oh. yeah. the cd's. i encoded almost every ayumi hamasaki cd ever released, ff9 ost, dmx ost, ff8 orchestral soundtrack [fithos lusec wecos vinosec] (by request), ff8 piano collections (by request), and yeah, ayu's DUTY album. woohooo.
i'm jealous. rAndals left for a cruise about 10 minutes ago. Mexico for real. *POUT* i swear i wanted to hide away in his suitcase and just.. get away.. i hope he has fun, he really deserves this break. randals if you can read this rite now.. oh my god, i've got SO much to tell you already. dude come back soon.. but come back rested, lots of shiet to say!!! o_O
i've added a new discussion forum in the message board.. labeled, "thoughts" ..a place where people can share their original literature or their sentimental feelings n such. i just thought i wasn't the only one that have things to say. it was an idea conceived by andi, one of my friends, who is going through quite a bundle of emotional rollercoaster rides right now. so, if you've got any advice for him, or if you want to share with us.. just post, we don't bite. ^_^
so anyway, tomorrow i'm supposed to go to dinner..getting together with some friends, i suppose.. it'll be the first time in a long time that darren, irv and i will all be together at the same time. i'm kinda looking forward to it, in that aspect. but at the same time i'm a bit lethargic, too. does that make sense? i've no idea who else will be showing up, and to tell the truth, i've pretty much drifted from the majority of the people i used to hang out with. do i feel bad about it? no.. i suppose it's been like this for a while. i just don't care. i guess i've been careless with keeping in touch with people, but if it causes drifting, then so be it.. i think i put enough effort into the friendships that i keep. i think it would be kinda cool to see eugene, though.. but i'm not sure if you guys [ren, irv] still even talk to the guy. i know i haven't seen him since summer.
i registered for spring semester, and almost all of the classes are full. well.. i didn't REGISTER cuz i don't have ANY classes yet, but uh.. yeah. i start classes on the 8th. yay 4 me. hehe.. i hope there's at least two classes open, so i can at least take 6 units.. blah.. okie.. so hopefully i'll be working and schooling at the same time.. i want to bust out some impulse buying for real. i just want a webcam and some new stuff.. just random stuff, but.. yeah! i want! plus.. keeping myself busy like that will help me keep my mind off of a lot of things.. just.. basically all of the thoughts i've had floating around in my mind that i want to disappear... and i wish that i could disappear too...
what a rollercoaster of a day i had. i was feeling SO down, but a string of events turned that around.
first, i baked cookies.. although i had planned on baking anyway, i seem to bake when i'm feeling down. but anyway, it made me feel a lot better. then i cooked udon.. had alice & henry over for dinner & even took some to AI for chango. i started to feel a lot better. i don't know why.
fawking saw nvision for the first time in a hella long time, n had some of that famous 'ai group counseling' session outside, and played a few games. like.. 4.
i went 'shopping' with andi, tarepanda for real! gave andi his surprises.. ^_^ we want 3 feet tall pichus! had a few talks with andi, laughed a lot with the group.. i got me my christmas present to myself.. ayu's newest single, 'm' ..it's pretty good, i like it. ayu never fails to impress. my day was getting better.
the highlight of my nite was meeting a ddr buddy from way out in maryland. deng, it was so unexpected that i was actually speechless. me, speechles, an impossibility, huh? i surprised myself even.
a few of us decided to go to denny's to grab coffee. godden and i went to the wrong one at first, blah. anyhow, most of the guys had steak, n i felt like having an omelette. yum. it's the only thing i trust at denny's, actually. we had a blast, we started making plans for our tentative trip to vegas to ring in the new real millenium.. i hope i can go. anyhoo, we had lots of fun just conversating and going through the past year's events. whee. then we all went home. the end.
spoiled brat of the day award goes to.. everyone at ai who got cookies, and especially to chango, who got udon. =P
quote of the day "Damn, i'm fucking sexy, but i don't get chicks like that! n' i consider him a kid.. just.. a fucking.. kid! i'm.. sexy! AARGH!" -nvision
Ya, happi christmas eve n all that shit. i spent seven hours at the mall yesterday looking for two, count em, TWO gifts. the malls were pure hell yesterday.. there was a line just to get IN the mall, practically. about 10 minutes after stepping foor inside the west covina mall, i was so irritated with all the mindless idiots, that bitch mode automatically activated itself and i was yelling at them instantaneously. ^_^ whee! i bought fruitcake for my father, at the hickory farms stand. some couple was fighting over who has to pay for the mother's gift or something. i yelled at them to hurry the hell up, among other not-so-nice words.. n so they finally paid and left on their merry fucking christmas way.
i went into one of my favorite shops.. the place sells containers n random little kitchen gadgets. my friend from way back in elementary school works there.. it was really crazy.. we talked for an hour before i returned to my shopping. she's into anime & jpop nowdays, which is hella cool, so you AX people might have met her. ^_^ (Xain, i KNOW she saw you, mr. umbrella fighter ryoga!) so yeah, it was pretty trippy, n i'm glad i got to see her again.
i found this really nice cover for the 8290.. too bad it doesn't fit. saiko was kinda upset, so i gotta go return it tomorrow, unless i go down, down, down- down to the irvine spectrum in the morning. [note: the down thing is sorda an insider pachango the rapper deal, so if you didn't catch that one, it's quite alright.] so ya, the cover's nice, but it doesn't fit... gfr.
then i walked into this one shop.. augh.. impulse buying attack! it's a candle store. most shops do carry scented candles, but not the ones i like. the candle i bought was called 'joy of life', and it's a citrus blend of essential oils from grapefruit, mandarin, and lemon. $20 candle fr. then i bought a diffuser and a few melts.. lemon of course. ^_^ so now i've got a diffuser for oil, a diffuser for melts, and two pillar candles that both smell citrus-y. yay! which reminds me, now would be a perfect time for candlelight.. *turns off lamp* YAY! ^_^
speaking of candles, if you're into all natural, handmade soaps, oils, creams, balms, candles n stuff, let me know. at this place in LA, the apothecary fairy makes this stuff by hand, and the coolest thing? custom order. you can choose the scent or mixtures of the scents you want! she makes bath oils, bath teas, flea powder for doggies & cats, lotsa kew stuff. even the color is natural.. she grinds dry flowers to a powder and mixes them into her products.. way cool.. anyway, her candles are the BEST. anyhoo, i'm going to go visit her and buy a few things soon, so if anyone would like to join me, just let me know ^_^ [for you kinky people, she makes this mint & cocoa oil massage balm thing.. it's ..um.. EDIBLE!] anyway, she works out of her home, n her place itself is amazing.. they make great gifts, i really want to do some spending there. i'll bring some of my stuff tomorrow to shgl n you guys can see for yourself, it's the absolute shyt!
damn, i'm rambling again.. all from a simple conversation about buying a candle. o_O
anyhoo so that's all i bought, then had sashimi for dinner n went to irv's house to hang out for a few hours. watched princess mononoke, n' that, was the day for me.
4:30 am for real.. almost time for the crazy guy to make his rounds screaming around the apartment complex, ugh. once it's 5am, i'm hopping over to cook breakfast, 'cause i'm seriously hungry. i think i'll make an omelette. yum. ^^;
Augh, family dinner tonight, seriously.. i don't think i'd mind so much if i could take someone with me, but i wouldn't want to put anyone through that madness.. at least i have permission to be as sarcastic and as smartass as i want to.. my father told me i could. ^_^ but then again, dinner is at my nice cousin, angie's new house in irvine, and she's hella sweet, unlike the rest of my entirely too rich, 'successful' relatives. she's invited the ENTIRE family, so this will get really interesting.. we'll see my oldest cousin stan, and i'll meet his wife and my niece for the first time.. i didn't go to their wedding, or the baby shower, nothing. n' i'll meet my cousin's boyfriend, and to top it off, my uncle will probably be there. Angie wanted to try to get everyone together at the same time, same place.. instead of the usual select few. it'll be pretty interesting to see who shows up, and even more interesting to see what kind of drama unfolds there. i bet that if my aunt and uncle both show up, one of them will end up storming out, hella fast. 20 bucks says my uncle leaves within an hour..
anyway i suppose i'll continue later on today, possibly after the christmas eve family dinner madness. who knows, maybe i'll even meet relatives i never knew i had! [shut up! don't even bring up my 2nd cousin i met at my auntie's funeral, i'll kill you!] ok, until then i guess this rambling session is over. plesae feel free to impulse buy a few tarepanda notebookies, i finished this one, and i'm actually writing on the back outside cover like this is a high school yearbook or something...
