Can't blame me for trying

azuriteOkay, so I didn't go to Abercrombie, but I will tomorrow. Er, today. After Yu-Gi-Oh, and maybe a well-deserved nap on the couch. After much gaming.
I won't get the Perfect Ending after all, since I've neglected to do so many things. >_< But hey, new game plus...! And this time around, I'll use the 100% completion guide, instead of the bulk of the strategy guide itself. Hopefully I won't need it, having been through FFX-2 once before. I might just finish it soon; I have just started Chapter 5!
Anyway, I went to AFX after 6pm; got off at Eucalyptus to go to the bank and deposit my last check and grab some cash for McDonald's. Not really what I wanted to eat (for breakfast, especially since I didn't eat anything at home-- there WAS nothing), but I couldn't think of anything better or cheaper. I did pick up Wild Act #6 (which isn't even supposed to be out till the 11th!) at Border's, which is quite cool. Yuniko O_O! Shocking girl.
So I went to the screening room and ate my fill; no one noticed me save Aileen. I watched a few eps of some random anime that I can't even remember all that well; when Aileen went into the spillover room I did too; there were very few people, and Joe, Jenny, and the others weren't among them. Which was okay, at first, since I had nothing to feel uncomfortable about. But they all came in having gotten food from wherever, and immediately I was a bit off-guard. Of course I expected them to be there; Joe was the one that had, (in what *I'd* hoped was a somewhat insistent manner) told me to "GoGo" to the meeting.
Well, it's not like anyone seemed to care very much about whether I was there or not. Or that I HADN'T been there the past few weeks. And of course, Sean made the accidental (I assume) and snide comment, "You're here on a Friday? What, did you get fired?" So I fixed him with my blandest stare and told him, YEAH, I did. This past month or so has NOT been good to me, and it doesn't look like it's getting much better. I stand on my belief that PEOPLE DO NOT GIVE A SHIT. Okay, some people do. Richie does, which was sorta nice. So maybe ONE person here in SF might miss me when I go. Not many others, I think.
Maybe I'm seeing too much, or expecting too much, or wishing humanity or specific people would change when they can't or won't. It's their own choice, after all. You'd think telling someone how you felt would mean they'd respect those feelings, even if they don't return them, but nope. Flirting, flirting, flirting, even when the feelings are not mutual. And sorry, but Jenny is 21 and acts like a feline around me. It might have been cute before, but not so much now. I have no reason to go to FX. I was pretty bummed the whole time I was there. But I didn't want to just go home and be depressed, so I when I was "slightly" invited to go on a last minute joyride, I went. Jenny, of course, got shotgun.
We went all the way up to Vallejo and then hopped back on the 80 and turned right back around to SF. The two cars we were split in went to Sean's house and... wherever Ray+ went, I don't know. We hung around, watched weird yo-yo videos and stupid Flash movies (though admittedly "Banana Phone" is funny, and stuck in my head). And I told my tarot with the Ukiyoe cards that I assume Grace left at Sean's-- even though it wasn't my deck, and it's been a while, dead-on accurate, as always. *sigh*
And then Joe drove us all home, me first obviously, since Richie and Jenny both live out of town. I suppose I should have taken shotgun so it wouldn't have been such a hassle to get out, but I don't think I could have handled it. I'm good when I'm *not* around the people that concern me so much. Well, oddly enough, Joe seemed to get out and want a hug, and I'm not one to deny that kind of thing when I want it too... so I did. But it felt weird. Of course it felt weird, he doesn't like me, and I certainly have no priority in his life! I don't in anybody's life, I guess.
I should be glad I'm leaving.
Matter of fact, I got my registration stuff for CSUN. Once they get my ELM scores (26th) I can have an advisement appointment and then register for my classes online. I have to call to verify that they'll get the scores on the 26th, and then I can make the appointment for the 27th... and then I can stay through the 28th, come back to the Bay Area in the morning at San Jose airport, and just go straight to Fanime. Sounds like a decent plan to me, at least.
No spending of my money until then. This paycheck is nice enough, but it's only enough to cover Fanime expenses and *maybe* part of the room cost. I might be slaving away for my mom for a while, especially if she's insistent about the phone bills. I know I paid her for the last one, but there might be another one I owe her... o_O
I'd really like to have that bonfire and just burn everything that keeps me tied here. I have to stop being some sort of sentimental sap. What's gone is gone, and I should know that better than anyone else, eh? And no matter what, I will make it a point, somehow, to go to Magic Mountain and/or Disneyland before I start school this Fall. Who wants in?
:P Not many reviews for WDKY9. So not much of an ego boost. Some funny ones, though. One person reviewed 6 times... and each review said the exact same thing. -.- Some people are too impatient with their 'Submit Review' button. And Fido needs to do a better job at preventing that. The people that MATTERED reviewed. Kysra's is going into my "Keepsake Review" folder for sure! ^________^ So maybe I'll just read hers, Atlantis's, and Mamono's... over and over again. :) Yeah.

0_o oohh... Magic Mountain
Date: 2004-05-08 11:52 pm (UTC)Lol, I know, I live here 3/4 of the year. But while I'm down here, I'm basically stranded since I have no car =( Well, that and I spend all my time studying so that I have neither the time nor the means to go. So I've never been to Magic Mt. and I've only been to Disneyland once. Heck, I haven't even been to Hollywood! -.-; Kinda sad, I'm so deprived.
Re: 0_o oohh... Magic Mountain
Date: 2004-05-09 01:12 am (UTC)(1) When we go back down South late this summer/fall, then we could make a side-trip to MM or DL or wherever.
(2) If you're still down there when I come down later this month, or maybe early in June, we could go then, as well.
But yeah, a vehicle will be needed on someone's part. ^^; And if we go when your school's out, I'm sure my grandparents would let you stay over at the mansion-big-house-place.
Just Wait!
Date: 2004-05-09 12:40 am (UTC)Secondly, now that I've gotten the guru stuff outta the way ^_~ . . . Don't let the lack of reviews (I just checked 300+ for WDKY ;-;) get ya down! It's ff.net. I've noticed the majority of readers there do appreciate !GOOD! fic (and you can contest me on that if you like ^_~).
Finally! "Keepsake Review"???? Hehe, just wait till I fulfill my promise of printing out the entire thing, taking notes, and writing an essay in honor of your brilliance. I can tell you right now it's gonna be booklength (I wrote a seven page review for one of Atlantis's chapters . . . just ONE chapter). Yeah, I'm rather long-winded when it comes to fics I like ^_^ You're SO gonna hate me!
Re: Just Wait! EDIT!
Date: 2004-05-09 12:42 am (UTC)-_-; I think finals have eaten what few brain cells I have left.
Re: Just Wait!
Date: 2004-05-09 01:16 am (UTC)>_< I'm one of those weird people who gets embarrassed very easily. You know, when characters in a movie or TV show are about to do something stupid or embarassing... or when people write reviews chock full of so much praise, you could inflate and float away?
Yeah, like that. ^^; So an "essay to my brillance" just might send me to Mars.
^_^ Of course, all the nice stuff --people saying "Wow, that was unexpected" and "I really like your (insert good part of my writing here)." Those rock.
Re: Just Wait!
Date: 2004-05-09 01:59 am (UTC)We don't get paid for writing these babies (and I really wouldn't want to honestly -- it's way too much fun), so consider much praise as compensation ^_~
hee haw
Date: 2004-05-09 01:04 am (UTC)Re: hee haw
Date: 2004-05-09 01:19 am (UTC)*grin* We'll figure this out somehow. We can make our own mokumentary. It'll be like "Crossroads," but with mixed cultures and no motorcycling bad boys! Whoo!

Date: 2004-05-09 01:54 am (UTC)Mary Kate is all "skin and bones!" She looks like a toy skeleton with dough stretched out over her. It's so gross.
no subject
Date: 2004-05-09 01:30 am (UTC)Anyway-- things will get better-- you will get more reviews-- and you will be rich and famous and married to Seto's clone in the future! (Lucky you!)
But seriously-- don't worry so much! Things *have* to play out and they always will! And most times for the best! Heart of the Cards, yo! XD
I matter! *huggles* Danke!
Hey-- you know what makes me feel better? Bugging my cousins little friends over YIM! XD
YOU!
Date: 2004-05-09 01:46 am (UTC)Hey, speaking of Heart of the Cards, did you see today's YGO? Not only did I think of an array of snarky things Tea could tell Kaiba to get him to shut up and duel already, but I also heard of this Worldwide Tournament 2004! HMMM... and we both know what card Joey's going to use to whomp Kaiba next week. I wonder if either of us can enter that contest? >_> I doubt I can, I'm not a WB *KID.* Kid cuts off at 16, I think. ;_;
All the same, if this is a real tourney and the tourney packs are any good (what is this 'Card of Sanctity,' I wonder?) then maybe I should go...
Re: YOU!
Date: 2004-05-09 07:08 pm (UTC)^-^ I did see YGO! I enjoyed Seto's snarkfest! XD I always do!
I so want to enter that contest! I'm going to try even though I may not be able to win...
>__< My friend got a special invite to it! @___@ He gets to participate too! *strangles him* I want to go!
*sighs* Here's hopin'...
Re: YOU!
Date: 2004-05-09 08:02 pm (UTC)As for the Sennen Rod, well, I have to wait for McRod Happy to piss me off before I can snatch it from him. And only the Other Halves have been posting lately, not the Darks.
*hiss*
We need to work out some sort of Master Plan.
Re: YOU!
Date: 2004-05-09 09:14 pm (UTC)Perhaps I'll go assualt the said rod abuser and make him do strange things...
that sounded odd...
Anyway yes! Plan!
