just to get things straight in my mind, here is a list of my future cosplays.

hooray, what a wonderful 3 weeks vince and i spent together!! i'm so glad that he came home to me! yattaaaaaaa!

we did all sorts of things, like playing with puppies, experimenting with bidets (they have deadly precision, not cool at all), eating yummy japanese food, go to the beach, go shopping, spend hours and hours fixing cars, and of course the fun snuggling and reading and generally fawning over each other. hooray boyfriend!

apart from the part where he had a seizure and we had to take him to the hospital, it was lots of fun! oh, and another sucky yet fun part was when we got stuck at the light while the police professional was going on and i had to pee and it was like half an hour. the cops closed down all the roads and everyone got really pissed. i was like "vince come on, lets have sex in the car so they'll take me away and i can use the bathroom" and he was like "...no".

and i didn't do anything that i was supposed to! oops! i will call college today after work i suppose.

i did have lots of fun though. on friday i went to see hairspray with brandi, it was lots of fun. i love that movie so much and brandi liked it a lot too! then we went to insomniacs and met with brian, rob, matt and devin. we chillaxed, talked, had elbow sex and i gave brian a raspberry on his arm which made him freak-the-fuck out in the most hilarious of ways. before going home brandi and i picked up some milk at a gas station. we parked next to this cop car which had hello kitty everywhere. we talked to the cop inside about it and showed each other hello kitty stuff that was on us.

cop: i have the clipboard.
me: i have the compact.
cop: i have the keychain.
me: i have the cell phone charm.
cop: i have the seat covers.
me: i have the decal.
brandi: none of us have any milk!!

also, there was this really really fat guy in front of us in line who had his shirt pulled up and his pants pulled down a lot so that i could cleary see his ass. i was like only a few inchs away from it. brandi and i were like "guuh!" and i tried taking a pic on my cell but it is blurry. it was still funny though.

when we got home we had a girly sleepover type thing with lots of talking and giggling. the next day was an unsuccessful consumer whore day as the pizza place was taking their 2 week vacation, blockbuster was out of everything and eb sucked. we just watched howls moving castle instead. that movie is so good!

after i took her home i went to jenns and met up with holly for the first time in like years. she is married now and lives in north or south carolina. it was very surreal. we all talked about stuff and what seemed important to jenn and i appeared to be a little trivial. i was in awe of her maturousity!

on sunday jeremy and i decided to go to the park to play the wii. yeah. we were inspired by the goth kids on my birthday who brought their turn tables. we brought the wii and the tv but we couldn't get power anywhere which kind of sucked. we just bummed around the mall for a while and then went back to my house. we made DISGUSTING banana bread which we had to throw out and we watched princess cake challenge which was really intense.

later i went to insomniacs (again) with brad, kurgan, rob and devin. we met katie there (the one i went to the castle with for the first time) and played uno. it was a lot of fun and i successfully protected my unbroken uno winning record despite everyone trying to stack cards half way through the game and only to screw me over! bwahaha!

so yeah, now i am uber tired but have to go to work (and i'm having ramen for breakfast).

my life is in a very inbetweeny point right now. i'm saving up to move out for good, i'm waiting to audition for performing arts college and vince is away. it's kinda like throw away months, just time you use to get ahead later. i don't really like them, and i hate the fact that i can't use them for much, but still, i am very happy.

i've been having such a good time with my friends lately and whenever i get my paycheck i'm like "yes, that much closer!". whenever i get a call from vince we talk about how much longer til we see each other, right now it's down to 3 weeks. i can't believe it! i am really excited for him to stay with me for a whole week. i can't wait to cook for him and play grown up! i'm going to purposely not buy any food so we have to go grocery shopping together.  

i can't wait for my apartment, i don't even care if i don't have any furniture. i just want to own it. if i have to buy a sleeping bag i will sleep in that (although i know vince would end up getting me a bed or something). 

i'm going to take advantage of the throw away months by working hard, that way i will be able to do everything i want sooner!

metrocon was so much fun! brandi and i had a BLAST (terrible nana joke, sorry). the nana panel seriously was my favorite though, i'm so glad we got to go on nana day! w00t! i even won a manga! hooray!

we had fun going to all the panels and stuff. the amv contest was great cause a rule of rose amv won. when it came on brandi and i gasped and grabbed each other. then when it was over brandi started clapping really fast a good 5 seconds before anyone else did. it was the funniest thing ever!

we bought a bunch of useless shit in the dealer room, but what's new? i got some earrings that i liked in the con and when i got them home they look gaudy. ugh.

the trivia game was so dumb, but at least i got to meet a new person. his name is kyle and we have the same phone! 

the skit show was pretty problematic, for some reason they had not prepared a cd list, so they had to ask each group what cd the had. a few times they actually interrupted the skits, it was sad. there was only one good one really and thank goodness it's on youtube. a group of guys dressed up in hoooorrrible pokemon outfits and it was actually really funny. 

so yeah, the only downside to it was that we got really tired and had to leave early, but apart from that i had a good time. yay!

today i look like nancy drew!

jeremy and i spent a long time watching operation kitten calendar. 

"what the hell is this?!"

"it's winter solstice!"

"more like winter bullshit!"

sigh, i <3 the fun times i have with that boy. i also <3 my lad who is off defending the world from the forces of evil (or something like that). when he comes home we are going to spend lots of time together! yay! it feels good to be happy! even though it took 5 years for us to get together, it is so so worth it. argh, hurry up and come back so i can shower you with love and kisses!!!

oh, i don't know if i mentioned it, but i got a care package from iraq. vince sent me some money so i could see what it looked like, a gold chain for the pendant he got me last year, an airforce shirt to sleep in and a really pretty jewelry box. it has a fairy lying on the top of it, i need to think of a name for her. i can't wait for when he gets back, he is going to stay with me for a week, i am excited to have him sleep in my bed (this is the first time i've ever had a bed big enough for two) because we've always stayed at his house or his ranch before. i'm super excited that we will be going to his beach house now that the weather is hot enough...which means i get to go bikini shopping! yaaaay! i really really need one! and i'm also excited for new years, we're going to spend it together in europe. hooray!

i am really looking forward to seeing vince get a new tattoo. to me watching something be permanantly etched onto another person is special, because if something happened and you didn't talk to them for years and years you could count on that still being there. not that i expect us to not talk for years and years, but you see what i mean. i'm not really the kind of person to get a tattoo, but if i were to get one i'd get the taurus symbol. vince jokes saying that he is going to get nachos tattooed on his butt and "plaidy mc-plaidster" on his inner thigh. i would have to beat him senseless and drag him out of the shop if he were actually serious!

i think a lot about me meeting him off the plane. i want to look my best, which will be hard after an 8 hour drive but what can you do? i think about what i will wear and say and what i will bring him. i have a feeling though that i'm just going to cry and hug him really really hard.

ok, so my 2,4,6,8 diet is going really well so far. this is day five and i've lost 4 pounds, brilliant! i realize that it probably is like water weight but i don't care cause it's something! and i don't plan on putting it back on because i plan to do this diet for around a year so i can train myself to eat less.

well, today was hard for me because today is my second 200 calorie day. ugh, eating 200 a day totally blows, but whatever. today i ate sushi because i need protein, but man did i wish i could have some more. 

i never thought that i would be one of those women who like get really into diets, but i kinda like this. it's like a willpower challenge! so i'm going to wait til tomorrow to eat a bowl of cereal cause i really really want some. it's kinda silly but i'm really proud of myself!i mean if i lost like 80lbs a few years ago i'm sure that i can lose 20lbs now. psshaaa, this is fun!

today i went to eb games and got trauma center. sooooo fun!!! i'm totally addicted to this right now. it's like 4:30am and i'm up late playing it. i can't help it though, i have gaming disease! it really is a fun game though (and also educational...kinda).
