Weekend update, la dee da (aka why do weekends have to end?)
Not that this weekend was so great that I wish it would never end. It was a pretty good weekend. I just don't want to have to go back to the world of studying and taking tests and getting enough sleep. Bugger.
Before I recount my weekend, I'll ruminate a bit. *ruminates* Feeling a bit melancholy tonight, for some reason. Not in a really sad way, just sort of...wistful. Maybe it's because I'm talking to Josh and I really miss him and want him to be here. Maybe one of these days I'll wake up and realize I'm in love with him just like everyone has always thought and then my romantic woes will be over. Sometimes I wish I would, because god damn do I love that boy and want him here with me. It's funny...when I think about why I've drifted from some of my high school friends, it's as much because of how I have changed and learned new things about myself as it has been having different experiences. The same is true with him, and for a long time I couldn't even talk online with him much because he wasn't all that great at IM conversation, but it's never seemed to matter. Like I was just telling him, I think he's one of the few people who always seems to understand me without having to try.
Heh. Maybe I'm just feeling slightly sorry for myself because of a kindasorta miscommunication with a friend earlier that rather annoyed me but I didn't feel like making an issue at the time...and the design homework that's due this week, definitely that. Still...I'll be happy next year when he's here. Josh and Jeff, w00t!
The weekend was good. Fridays always rule because of the single easy-ass lab in the morning that makes it seem like I have three-day weekends. I also got the ANO raffle/bursar paperwork in, which is good for the screening. Hope our second of the year goes better. Friday night, Val and I went to see the uni's production of "The Dining Room", a play of vignettes that I thought was quite good. My favorite part was the "...anthropological BALLS!" (Don't ask. Really.)
Saturday was an epic adventure. We followed Mapquest's directions to Wizzywig. They were absolutely correct, except for the part where they took us to the corporate office instead of the store. Whoops. Stupid Yahell yellow pages. Thanks to our combination of mad m4p skillz, we found a way to the store, but ran into a ton of Michigan game day traffic, even though we were heading in the opposite direction. (Note to the policeman directing traffic: don't wave us on if you really mean stop. And don't slap the car. You'll ruin the paint job.) When we finally got to Wizzywig's, we bought many cute and yummy things (POCKY!!!!!) for the ANO raffles, as well as a few things for ourselves. I felt terribly guilty when I walked away with two Kodocha manga and the Utena movie. But I wanted the movie eventually anyways, and we needed it for Mindfuck Night...sigh. *eyes pile of doujinshi that need selling* Money...we also went to Mongolian for dinner and went to Pinball Pete's and oh god I love ParaParaParadise. I could get into the dance freestyle stuff a lot more than DDR, partly because it's easier and partly because you can move around more without worrying about hitting the right spots so much. I'm not the world's #1 dancer, but I do have eleven years of it under my belt, so I think I could be fairly good if given the chance. Too bad it's an hour away, and I distinctly lack a car. I took joy in the four DDR machines lined up in a row, too. Mmm, 7th Mix...
Oh, if any of you ever pass through Ann Arbor and have a hankering for anime, patronize Wizzywig's Collectibles. They were extremely good-natured and helpful when I called to let them know that had not bagged one of the plushies that we paid for. They could have believed that we lied about it not being in the bag (which was tightly double-bagged, so we could not have just dropped it) but they were very easygoing and are sending us a gift certificate for the cost. That's good, because if they'd been jackasses I would have refused to go to the for raffle prizes and that would severely limit our options. Yes, I am a prideful club money-wench.
Today was lazyassedness, pure and simple. But I put a dj up on ebay, got an idea for a really cool scene in the slutfic, and got most of my first design drawing done that looks really good. Between this and talking with two of my best friends and feeling all warm and cozy, I think I'll be okay no matter how much minor angst gets thrown my way.
But someone remind me to work on my AMV this week, okay? I need my ass kicked on that.
