Overlord Sumomo

Back to The Real World

2009-12-31T00:12:34Z

For those of you who don't know a guy seriously married a dating sim character on his DS in Japan (really I'm not kidding look it up). I have to say that it seems extreme....I mean we all say we love characters but would we marry them in whatever format they are in?

Anyhoo.....work has been early....the manager has been on vacation so I have had to cover a few of her shifts. Its been tiring to get up that warly not to mention that the girl covering third shift is not actually doing her cleaning. I love her like a sister and I understand the want to do other things than work but she still needs to do it. Hey if I can get it done and then draw and whatever, so can she but she has to do the cleaning first. At least I did some of the cleaning yesterday so I won't have as much to catch up on tomorrow night.

In some ways I hate the beginning of the new year. Every year the corporate office comes up with some more bull crap to put us through. It really seems that they sit around all year and make rules for us that even they can't follow. I wish they would make everyone in the corporate office work in a store for two weeks, then maybe there would be some rules that made sense. Of course I don't take corporate too seriously since they can't even use spellcheck on e-mails they send to the stores....granted I misspell something every now and then here but this isn't professional and isn't seen by people who aren't friends. I also dislike the resolutions....I know I make one every year and normally I manage to complete my resolution but some people choose things that they want to change without really looking at what it will take to change so they end up giving up instead of suceeding.

Well I think thats enough rant for me.....Hope everyone has a good new year though!

So I Drove Through a Tree

2009-12-28T03:26:18Z

Before you all start worrying don't the car is fine and so are Chris and I. What I mean by the title is that on Christmas we went to Lenior to see family and on the way down the mountain I drove through a tree. It was laying across the road tall enough for my car to go under and the branches were parted just so I could drive through and not touch a one. We made it safely with no trouble at all.

There is a small problem with my car though. On wednesday before Christmas, I had two new tires put on my car and aligned them as well. Now sometimes when I go downhill, uphill, or coast the front end of my car makes this rattling noise. At first I have to say that it really freaked me out I had no idea what was wrong with my car. Dad says that its just the scuf plate under the front bumper rattling when the air pressure is right. So tomorrow I have to call the repair guys who put the tires on an get them to find the noise and fix it. I hope they can and I hope that they won't charge anything since its their fault anyway.

Work is really slow but thats not a bad thing right now. It gives me plently of time to get everything I want to done and still have time to do personal stuff like playing games or reading manga. Last night I worked a double (3pm to 7am). I managed to get everything done read a manga, a thick novel and even do some cleaning that I was putting off until the students left. (I know they left like two weeks ago but I was on vacation so I couldn't do the cleaning then). Tomorrow I have to go into work at 6am because the manager is on vacation and that will suck because I have to do everything, but I know that I'll get in all done and have everything ready by the time the assistant manager shows up to finish the grocery order.

Oh Merry Christmas to everyone. I tried to text everyone but I ended up getting a lot of failed messages so if you didn't recieve a message I am saying Merry Christmas now.

I Like the Snow But I Didn't Want This

2009-12-19T02:09:47Z

Currently, its snowing pretty bad here. It has snowed at least 6 inches, and there are at least 3 inches on the roads.....its very unsafe...(so if anyone is going out I wouldn't really don't risk it). I almost got stuck myself just getting Chris to work. I got him there safely though. I can only hope that by morning they have more of the roads under control and I won't get stuck trying to pick him up from work.

At least we have plently of food and whatnot so we can survive at least a little while until the roads are up. We also won't have to worry about entertainment....we have plenty of games and dvds to watch. Not to mention that we have plenty of books to read too. Also I am off until Christmas Eve and so is Chris (well except for today, he was on call and someone called out so he had to go in).

Ramia, and Lindsay (I really hope I spelled her name right), I will try to post your presents on DA by Christmas.Please forgive me if I don't quite finish them on time. I hope that you guys wil like them though Ramia I did have to take some liberties for yours so forgive me.

I Wish Someone Could Get Me Out of This...

2009-12-14T00:41:10Z

I have jury duty starting tomorrow on the 14th. I really don't want to go but I really don't have a choice. I hope that they don't choose me or that they can't choose me for some reason. Anyway I'll be bringing a sketchbook, my ds and a book just so I can stay entertained.

Currently I am watching Ringu (all alone I might add). Chris recently bought the novels that inspired the movie in Japan. He ended up making me curious so I am watching the movie tonight and taking the novel with me to read at jury duty. I just hope that the paranoia won't be too much for me......As some of you all already know, I have some issues with paranoia...I can watch slasher flicks, animal attacks, any gory movie and be all right but something about paranoia movies gets me and I am normally really scared by them. I hope that knowing some of the outcome will help.

Also I am behind on Christmas....I still need to buy things for Chris' dad, my dad and Chris. I hope to complete more of Chris' stuff tomorrow. And I have decided to start Christmas for next year really early. I will at least start on Chris' gifts early...he likes to be surprized so I'll ahve to order a lot of things in order to make sure that he won't buy them himself.

Thats about it for me...for now anyway....

Just Me Again

2009-12-03T01:37:59Z

Well the japanese exam is this week. I have been studying hard everyday (well I took a break on Saturday but other than that I have studied almost two weeks straight everyday). I am a little nerveous about the listening part (I can catch tidbits but sometimes I miss keywords that I need). I still need to pack and all too.

I have been having a little better time at work. I have just started disbelieving everything that Sue says and doing regular cleaning on a new schedule that works a lot better for me. Mainly because I am not having to kill myself every single night to get things done. Sure I am not cleaning everything everyday but its still clean enough that it can be eaten off of so I consider that a win. It allows more time to do extra work and still have some time for myself. (Yes I want time for myself everyone else does next to nothing I at least clean everything once a week so they can deal...not to mention that I do extra cleaning every month that I am technically not supposed to do but it helps for when the bosses show up).

I have been working on fanfics and art again...after I study and things have been going pretty good...working on some new angles and techniques I hope to have finished before Christmas.

Well thats it for me....

Snow and Cold is Kinda Depressing

2009-11-27T02:33:24Z

I don't really fully know if it is the cold or not but lately I just feel so tired and out of things. All I feel like doing most of the time is curling up and sleeping. I think I just need some personal time to myself to sit and reflect and to do things that make me happy.

Turkey day was pretty good....Both Chris and I have to work so making a big dinner was totally out of the picture....which reminds me I forgot to call my mom and give her my work schedule but I guess I can do that tomorrow when I get off work.

I really hate it but tomorrow Chris is going to drag me out of the house for some shopping. I personally am only getting one item and that is a christmas present for his brother ( in the end a game that was $60 will only be $20 and you can't argue with that). But Chris wants to go to Walmart to look at the dvds on sale which is going to suck. I really hate the crowds the day after thanksgiving. Normally I stay at home all day and play games but I have to go out into the jumble this year.

Oh yea kinda creepy.....there was a shooting in Boone on Saturday....Both the victim and the shooter were regular customers....its just really creepy and sends chills down my spine....in fact both were in the store before the shooting....so that makes it even creepier...

Raver's Fantasy

2009-11-15T01:35:33Z

I know that the title is all werid and I don't really want to hear it....look it up on youtube under anime raver's fantasy....Its a good video.

Life has been up and down lately. Work has gotten to where I just give up. The other woman that works on my days off and I have agreed that we can't continue on the road we are on if we want to keep our sanity. So we have decided to do most of the regular cleaning each day but leave somethings for once a week. Its stuff that can be cleaned once a week and honestly its not like anyone will notice if we don't clean it everyday (which is sad in and of itself).

Personal life....not too much going on in this corner...I play some games when I get a chance...(I've just gone into a cleaning kick so that is taking up a lot of my time, not to mention that I still sleep a lot because I work thirds). I have been working on some commission art for a friend (yes I'm doing it for free so lay off). Its fun to do chibis of someone else's original characters especially when one doesn't have a personality really yet so I can be more creative with him....it makes me want to create a character like him to put with hers....I am also playing the ocarina now....I can play three songs by heart and am working on a fourth...they are all little kid songs (like Mary had a little lamb) but at least I can play it.

Well I guess that its for me right now...

I am an Official Tortuga Fan Member!

2009-11-10T23:05:44Z

Yea I bought the membership which makes me want to cry (they have a meet and greet thur but I have to work and all six twins will be there) *tear*. Ren Faire was fun I even managed to get on stage it was during "Don Juan in Heck" show. I had to blindfold Don Juan and I staked my claim on Migel while I was there. I adopted another dragon a big boy this time....though I have no name for the precious littleguy.

I have almost finished New Moon which means that I will go watch the movie after that.....I hope the hairstyles are better in the second movie.

I go to work tonight so I must go do that apartment cleaning now.....I've put it off way too long...

More from My Little Corner

2009-11-02T01:28:33Z

Yes a corner thats where I feel like I live (sometimes anyway). I feel like most of what I do is go to work then come home, and relax until time to go to work again. Its quite fustrating because there is so much that I want to do and I feel like I never have the time to actually sit down and get it all done. For example I have today off but because I got behind on things like laundry and whatnot I can't work on my art like I would like instead I have to do laundry and catch up on what I didn't get to do before. It makes me feel like I am in an unending cycle of trying to catch up. I would be happy if I came home and stuff didn't have to be done, but Chris works nights too so I can't ask him to do all the work for me. I feel like I am in a rut to be honest. Work always feels the same and I feel like not much is changing right now for the better. I know that I am being all depressive and down and everything but its how I feel so deal with it. There are images in my head that I want to be but I feel that I'll never actually get there. Its makes me even sadder knowing that. I think that I just need a vacation from work and just take time to so the things that I want to do without having to worry about anything else. I honestly feel like crying from how helpless I feel about the whole situation. I want to go see friends I want to meet at Haven but I can't and its all because I have to make sure that I am stuck in my hellhole called work at the right time. I know that as of late work hasn't been as bad mainly because I expect nothing out of anyone at work. That way I can't get mad that they didn't do something cause I didn't expect them to do it anyway. I feel like others think that I am just a robot that is there to serve them and in noway have feelings of my own but I do. I HAVE FEELINGS AND I CAN HURT TOO! I just want to scream at the world and remind them that I am a person too and that I have dreams, wishes and desires. How can I tell anyone? I can't really talk to anyone at work other than Joyce that would understand fully how I feel. She goes through much of the same crap when she works so she knows how it feels to be something that others treat like crap. I hate it how everyone only thinks of what they personally want and they don' care to walk all over others to get it (I know I am ranting about what I want but hold on I'm not finished yet). I try my hardest to be kind and generous to others and not just friends. I try to help out one stranger a day even if the only way I can help is just to sympathize with their problems. But I feel that others only look at what they can get out of everything. They only want to help others when it means something for them. If they can't get what they want instead of standing back and looking to figure out what went wrong I am immediately the bad guy and the whole episode it my fault and I am just some cranky person that gets my giggles by denying others. Thats not how it is I am willing to help and all but there are hoops that need to be jumped through and conditions that need to be met. You cna't just show up at someone's house and expect a party you have to paln and call ahead and eveything. We are all here together and we all need to learn to get along. Sure we might not like each other and can't stand to be in the same room with each other but we should try. We should love each other as a fellow human being and not hate each other. I know that I am not perfect and I have some growing to do too. I admit that I have a temper and I am bad to let things get to me. I am easliy annoyed by stupidity. I know this and I try to fight the effects of it. I feel as though I am a caged animal. I can see the outside world through the bars and I want to touch the air outside my cage so badly but I can't and everyday people come by and they look in the cage, most laugh, some make stupid comments, some feel my pain and wish to free me, and some only see my pain as entertainment. I feel like crying, I feel angry and I feel hurt. Granted there are some happy times when the cage doesn't seem so bad and I think that I can actually stand the bars. However those feelings as of late, have been few and far between. I have just sunk to the bottom of the cage with one hand extended through the bars trying to touch the freedom that I know is there but am unable to get to. I need to find a way to keep my sanity which is slowly slipping away. If I could only escape the cage everything would be better. How can I do that though? Who can help me escape? All I want is to taste the air outside my cage. If my caging was only temporary and I could leave at times and have the freedom I don't think I would hate the cage as much. I could learn to take the cage if I could have some time for freedom outside of the bars. If I don't find this temporary freedom I might die within the bars and that scares me. I want to be free, if I could I would break the bars and let myself out and taste freedom of my own hand. But I have tried and the bars have held strong against my attempts..

Expect Nothing Gain Everything

2009-10-27T02:39:31Z

I have to say that looking at work this way has helped a whole lot. If I expect nothing out of Sue and then she does something then I gain a lot more than if I expect her to do anything in the first place.

I know that I'll probably be working Halloween which really sucks because everyone will be partying and it wll be almost impossible to get all the cleaning done. I just hope that a few go home so it won't be as bad.

I need to clean the house but I am always sooo tired after working third and there are so many other things that I want to do. I don't really get any help with cleaning (no offense to him just he doesn't help). I will continue to try to get stuff done but I have to try to have more energy. I guess I'll just have to try to get up a little earlier. That might help solve the problem (I hope).

Osu! Where's Ouedan When Ya Need Them?

2009-10-22T23:05:04Z

I could so use a team of guys cheering me on right now. Right now work sucks big time. Sue has been a whiny baby lately and isn't doing her job. I have actually gotten mad enough that I am currently not speaking to her (if I do try to say something I know that I am going to say something that I know I'll regret later). She is currently pissed at us because she thinks that we are all mad at her for no reason (there is a reason...she treats us like crap but she can't see it yet). I haven't been able to fully calm my emotions so I have to wait til I calm down enough to talk to her.

In other realms of interest; I am making progress on some of my artwork even though I haven't had as much time at work as I would like. I haven't been able to play many video games either but I will start working on it some more.

Well thats it for me for now....

BTW Chris might not be able to go to the Ren Fair...anyone else want to go with me????

Work and Art Determination

2009-10-15T17:31:27Z

Work: In general sucks. I number one have to face the fact that the coworker I normally work after just sucks and she refuses to actually do any work. I have found ways around that though so that I am not constantly making up for her crap and yet at the same time covering my butt enough that I won't get in trouble for not doing her job too. Also on the 20th of this month we have the big bosses coming in town for an inspection and honestly I am sick of having to do a majority of the cleaning for it. So I have decided that if I said I was going to do something (like clean the windows) then I will do it but otherwise I am not going to go out of my way to do a lot of extra. I mean I am bymyself all night everynight when the manager normally has someone else working with her all the time so she can do more cleaning too.

Art Determination: I want to finish stuff! I have so many ideas and I get about halfway done on one piece and then I get another idea and start working on it. I hate it! I guess that I will have to force myself to finish what I start so that I can have more artwork and feel better about my artwork as well. I guess I will start tonight after I finish my other chores.

I Made It Through Homecoming!!!

2009-10-12T00:34:33Z

I'm still alive!!!! I was so surprised to wake up this morning, I was sure that I would be dead......I mean come on it was homecoming so everyone was wasted and I was by myself at work for five hours! And then I had to drive home through druck ridden streets last night...(On a side note concerning that; the cops were sooo busy that while they had one drunk pulled over they saw on average three more drunks drive by....totally outnumbered the cops).

It feels great to be alive today though honestly I haven't really done much....Worked some more on the one-shot manga I'm doing (yes its shoujo you gotta problem with that?) I really want to play a game but I have no idea what game I should play...its kidda sad (there are so many and I just get hooked)....

Oh yea found an Otaku Dictionary that actually tries to define Moe (Even mentions Rei for Eva fans!).....It makes me wonder what kind of person wrote it because Moe can be defined so many ways. As Konata from Lucky Star says "Even the hard-core Otaku don't really know what Moe means its generally misunderstood". I happen to agree with this definition more. I feel Moe is a term that the definition moves around to mean different things to different people.

BTW I totally got a fortune cookie the other day that said I would make a good laywer and immediately I thought of Phoenix Wright (am I addicted????) Another crazy thing that happened is that I was listening to Bowling for Soup (did the American Dragonball Z Opening) and they have a song called High School Never Ends and I totally thought of Hunny Sempai from Ouran Koukou. (tee hee I heart Hunny!)

On yet another note...I WANT A VOCALIOD!!!!! SO BADLY!!! By the way for those of you who don't know my current icon (Blue Hair and confused look) is a vocaliod...in fact she is the original one. (FYI Vocaliods are computer programs that are able to sing and sing well).

I Honestly Need A Wiffle Ball Bat...

2009-10-01T11:56:24Z

To beat customers and co-workers with....I get sooo sick of it all sometimes. Last night, Sue didn't even bother to stock at all. In fact she clocked out about ten minutes after I clocked in. It is just fustrating to be in charge of having to do all the stores stocking and cleaning. It gets so bad sometimes that I just want to scream. It doesn't help that the manager leaves all the stocking to second shift since there is double coverage even though they had two people on her shift too. All it means is that I have even more stocking to do.....Sometimes I just want to scream at the people I work with....

Made it Through Another Home Game

2009-09-27T12:25:09Z

Thats right I've managed to make it through another home game...with some sanity in tact....(not too much though cause I didn't have muc to start with.

Not to much to mention in the line of work other than that really. Oh I am really pissed about one work-related thing though. We were SUPPOSED to have this big inspection on Wednesday and I have been busting myself all week trying to get ready...even coming in thirty minutes early to get more cleaning done and then the bosses postpone the stupid thing. What makes it worse is that I have to hold off on anymore cleaning cause everything left was really last minute anyway and I don't want to redo it until they give us a date. Which will probably be about the times the first snows hit and its almost impossible to keep anything clean when salt and snow is constantly being tracked into the store.

I have to say though that I am really sleepy.....

Moving on...I have picked out the fanart I wish to do for Halloween now I just have to start the prelims and spacing parts...which are the hardest parts the actual drawing of the characters is the easiest part I have to say.

I still can't decide what to dress as for halloween...I know that I will probably be working and therefore I want something that I can work in so it can't be too complex....Movement is also an issue as I really need to be able to complete all my chores (mopping, stocking, etc....) So its really hard to decide what to do. I am thinking about a Kishidan outfit...(If you don't know who that is then go to yutube and look up Kishidan and just remember Kurt at con with his "Amazingly Bad J-Rock Videos". I guess I'll just have to keep working though....

I want things to look clean at home...but its so hard to do I feel constantly tired due to work and then I want to watch tv, anime and play games too. Its sooo hard sometimes just to get the strength to get out of bed with an hour to get to work.

I have totally been sucked into Vampire Knight lately. Another thing that has totally sucked me in is Dramacon...AGAIN I can't seem to stay away I always end up going back to it at some point. I just can't stay away from things that involve the otaku culture....Its just great to sit back and say "thats totally me!" or "I know a guy like that!". It makes it that much harder to wait for con.

Well thats it for me today I think I'll go relax now.

Stand On Your Head For What You Believe In!!!

2009-09-23T04:25:26Z

Thats words of wisdom from Domo....now I want you all to take that to heart and remember it I am the Overlord so I command it!

Its official....my husband is addicted to Scribblenauts....I should start a Scribblenauts Anyomous but Chris wouldn't join...he's not a quitter.

Work has kind sucked recently because of the whole inspection thing. On Wed the 30th we have a big inspection and we have to have the store absolutely spotless...which means that mainy Joyce and I will be doing all the cleaning. I can't breathe really well due to all the dust that I have been kicking up at work.

I have decided to reopen the Domo Does thing again....It should be fun. I've already got Domo defeating Cthulhu. I plan to do a lot more some involing the ps3. I also plan to work on some avatars too.

Aghhh!!! Workless Means Stuff Gets Done!

2009-09-17T22:18:49Z

I have had like four days off between the next day I work and I have actually managed to get a lot of stuff done. Now I still have more to do I'm afraid (like a poster for work and posting some of that art I've been sitting on). Not to mention playing some neglected video games, ohh and watching anime).

I actually managed to finish another series...Handmaid May.....sooooo cute! I really enjoyed it.

So I guess I should get going now if I plan to get stuff done...Toodles

Have ya Ever????

2009-09-15T18:30:35Z

Have ya ever just gotten to a point where you sit down, look around and see that you need to clean but you lack the drive to clean not to mention you are unsure of where to start? Well I'm there...the dvd room needs attention desperately, there is barely a small path through the room to the computer but I just haven't had the energy to really get to it, not to mention I am unsure of how or where to start, I guess I'll have to clean the living room first and then move things bit by bit from the dvd room there and sort then decided once things are out how things will go back in. That might help some but who knows?

Also if anyone sees the original Petshop of Horrors manga could they let me know? I've got a friend who desperately wants the first series but I can't order them at waldens anymore. (If someone finds that I can order them from waldens or barnes and noble let me know). Also if anyone has Dr Who they could let me borrow I would be obliged. I have recently read three novels and have fallen in love with the series. All the novels had Martha Jones if that helps.

I don't return to work until Saturday so I hope to get a decent amount of stuff done during that time. I want to get some cleaning done not to mention I also want to watch some anime and play some games.

Recently fell in love with Blazblue...I'm pretty good with Rachel now which is funny because she is slower than some of the other characters and I normally do not prefer slower characters.

Well I guess that I had better go and get started if I plan to really get anything done now.

A Trip to the Beach with No Beach in It

2009-09-08T17:27:43Z

Yea went to the beach last week which wasa lot of fun however while we did see the beach we never actually went out to it. Which is just kinda funny. In all honesty, we spent a lot of time at MagiQuest (not complaining at all here). Its loads of fun and now there is one in Conover so I assume that one day we will kidnap Barbra and Gabby and take them to MagiQuest.

Since I got back into town, I have totally had the drive to draw and to read novels. Its really kinda funny before we left I was wishing for the drive to draw and when we get back I am totally into it and can't wait for the quiet times at work so that I can get started.

In work news my schedule has changed again. I now work four ten-hour days which means three days off instead of two not to mention that with the extra time I am definetly getting a lot more done before the two o'clock time. Which really works for me I have no problem with that.

Yo World What Up?

2009-08-27T23:52:32Z

With the students back for another semester I have to say that my schedule has changed but I don't know if its for the better or the worst. I now work four days with three off instead of working five days with two off. However I have to go in early when a co-worker I'm not particulary fond of is there. That totally sucks. But I guess the three days off are better than nothing.

Okay so I worked Saturday night last week with a co-worker, well a guy comes in to buy beer, I'm not clocked in so I'm just helping the girl bag at the moment so she has to check the id, when she does she tells the boy that she can't accept his id which means of course that its fake. The guy stands there and tries to tell us that the id is legit. I glance over my co-worker's shoulder at the id and I can't help but laugh in the guy's face. I know it was rude and I do feel bad about laughing at him however the id might as well have said that it was fake it was that poorly made. He took two peices of paper and glued them together but he couldn't even line them up straight and to top it off I guess he thought he could get away with no holograms on it either, also it was a florida id and those are a lot like ours and are hard to bend but this one easily bent with no problem. Really do people even look at the ids they are trying to make before they do this??? I could do a better job and I'm over 21.

That really makes me worry about the intelligence of the human race.....

Anyhoo, roughly eleven days to my one year anniversary.....We are heading off to the beach again. Granted no time-share thingies this time. They say the presentation is only 90 minutes but they normally take about 5 hours instead. I managed to get a pail so I will try to build a castle this time and in true otakudom....maybe it will be Caglistro?? I might have better luck just making Tokyo Tower though....then destroy it cause thats what always happens to Tokyo Tower. Tee hee....

I need to work on my art but have been having more trouble with the motivation thing...so I'll try to stay up late tonight and get stuff done.

Epic Busy

2009-08-20T01:19:55Z

Well the manager is gone for the week (vacation so she'll be back). And so far three of the remaining four of us have been slightly cruel to the fourth. She doesn't do her work so yea all three of us are kinda doing things just to tick her off some. I hate to say it but its really kind of fun just to get her back for a while when she can't do anything about it. (Yes I know that we are being really cruel and yes I do feel a LITTLE AND ONLY A LITTLE bad for it). She constantly makes life harder for the rest of us so I feel a little justified.

Well since the manager is gone there are four of us covering for the week. Three of us are manager trained so we are doing the bulk of the work. It isn't too hard not with three of us. We are also working on cleaning since there is an inspection coming up at the end of September but seriously I am not really worried about the inspection at all. I've been cleaning the biggest items once a month so they all look fine. We just have to keep them looking neat and tidy for the big day. As for extra cleaning, why worry now...I'll do it closer to the actual time that way I won't have to do it again.

TTFN

The song is awesome if you ever look it up on youtube!

Epic Fail!

2009-08-13T00:03:49Z

I need to find determination from somewhere I have no idea where I can find some but I really need it! I have so many projects and other things going on right now and really I don't have a way to proiritize anything. I started and wrote down everything that I wanted to get done but then thats as far as I got. I have currently been working on cleaning the entire apartment to get rid of dust and pollen...Its been hard work.

Speaking of work that hasn't been so great either. I know that Joyce is trying to help me but she keeps having me work two doubles (16 hours each day for two days) and then eight hour another day. Don't get me wrong the extra time off is great and all however it kinda sucks that I have to spend one day recuperating and I am so exhausted on that second shift that I honestly can't see straight half the time.

Well speaking of work I gotta go and star getting ready...Sorry so short!

Gomen Ne Gabby-Chan!

Sorry about not posting anything yet Gabby, I'll be copying everything tomorrow (Saturday Aug 8th). I'll make sure to copy the cd's too so that you can practice with that too. As always if you have any questions just send them my way and I'll try my best to answer them or find someone who can answer them. I did figure though that we would be going to Atlanta together and staying in the same hotel.

I the fanart arena, I have been working on several different ideas but haven't finished anything yet. I managd to get a lot of cleaning done the other day here at the apartment but I know that I still have a lot to do.

Well I go to work soon so I think that for right now I'll talk later.

Bon Odori!

Thats right the Japanese Festival in Charlotte is coming up. It August 1st at 11am at the Wachovia/ Charlotte Artium. I am definetly planning on going this year but I haven't really been able to catch up with Gabby and Barbra about going. If you guys read this soon please call Chris or I and let us know, we can carpool and all chip in on gas. Also Gabby I know that you and I talked about making Bento for Bon Odori...are you still interested in that? If you are I can send some recipes your way that can help.

In the Wide World of Bento: I have been cooking like a madman all week to work on my bento skills (and not just or Bon Odori). So far I can make croquets and tuna patties and I finally have some of the other pieces down too. Granted now I am working on pretting my bento....that can be difficult. Its easy to make the actually food but to make it in a recognizable shape is another thing all together. Today my bento has slightly cat shaped croquets, naruto rolls, some soboro eggs and of course rice. I still have to do some grocery shopping soon though if I want to make a better looking bento for saturday....

Well thats it for me See ya!

I Know it Sounds Werid but I'm Still Tired

2009-07-24T00:23:02Z

But I am I'm still tired even though I've managed to sleep at least 10 hours each and everynight. Granted tonight is my first night back and that means losing some sleep again especially when I have to get up early in order to babysit. The little girl is in first grade, and she worried a lot about me the night of the store fire, she was scared that I was still in the store and started crying even. Her mom had to call the local hospitals to make sure that I wasn't there so the little girl could sleep that night.

Tonight I plan to do some cleaning at work, enough to make sure that everything is okay tomorrow night for the other girl but thats it. I really just want a little of a vacation myself and this is my chance to rest a little more.
