Gah, I've been really crappy about writing in my journal. Luckily, there's plenty of nice things to share.

Where to begin?

Well, let's start with the romantic developments. It started innocently enough with a simple comment, confirming my already know geeky side. great_bird_2 asked me what I thought of the teaser trailer for the new Star Trek movie.  So after we went back and forth for a bit, we moved our playful banter to AIM.

It was there that we discovered that we both had a lot in common. As we talked, I was thinking "He's too good to be true, he's too good to be true".  And I did something I thought I'd never do. I talked to him for the entire evening, into the wee hours of the morning. Screw that, I think we talked until the sun came up. It was very nice.  So we've been talking now constantly these last couple of days.

I think I've finally found Mr. Right, I really do. He's smart and funny. He wants me to come up and see Seattle (I came this close *pinches fingers* to moving up there when I was researching culinary schools. I think it was has the some of best culinary diversity) and stay with him and quietly hold myself up going through his entire library

And you know something?  He said that he fell in love with me when he first met me (thank you girl_gamers!!), but was cautious because he didn't want to seem like a LJ stalker....

*warm fuzzy* :3

I've convinced him to come down for D*C in August. So now, I've got seven months to get my shit together.

So in other happenings, I've started my lose weight regime by purchasing a few things, including a cookbook that helps me to regulate my caloric intake, and a yoga book. I also picked a book that was recommended for making bento. I'm gonna buy a bento box next. :3 I'm going to convince Mom to change her shopping habits (like stop buying junk food and start buying more healthy food).

So there's everything in a nutshell.

Peace and bare feet,

If they're any comic book fans on here, are any of you going to the Atlanta Comics Expo next weekend? I hadn't originally planned on going, but Gus Furlong (he's the same guy that's in charge on Registration @ Dragon Con) emailed this morning and told me that they needed volunteers for Registration as well. I agreed to help out. :3

So, just let me know if you guys are planning on attending or live in/near the Atlanta area and want to help out.

So everything I needed to do for school has been done. I sent a transcript form to Stone Mountain, sent my application in, and filled out stuff for financial aid. 

Yay :3

I'm thinking about selling my slim PS2 and my games. I don't play it at all anymore, I need the money, not to mention I'm thinking about getting a PSP (since I'm strictly playing handheld games now.).

I dunno, I'll think about it...

Peace and bare feet,

I finally sent my application off today for Chattahoochee Tech. I think I'll hear back from them soon. Now, I need to find a job. I'm thinking of taking my classes online this semester as well, since I don't think I can find a car in 2 months without a job. I don't think Mom will lend me a hand otherwise, since every other venue has been exhausted. Plus, it will give me a good opportunity to boost my GPA some more.

Ben just called, and invited me to the movies tonight. So I finally get to see Cloverfield. Yay!! :3

I got another game that I was looking for today. I managed to purchase Tetris DS on the cheap. ($29) Most people these days are selling for upwards of 40+ dollars; I saw one that went for 70 dollars!! So now I have two games to look forward to.  Yay. :3 Tetris is my shit. ^^

Anyway, I ordered a pizza, which should be hear pretty soon.

These past couple of days have been rather interesting. The stuff on Amazon has been selling quickly, so it's more money in my pocket.  Fr om now on, I shipping through USPS. I spent just $6 dollars today, while I usually spend around 29-40 dollars at those other shipping place. Lazy I will no longer be. :3

I've finally purchased my first Japanese NDS game, and it didn't render a large hole in my pocket. I bought FF Tactics A2: Fuuketsu no Grimoire (The Sealed Grimoire) for a decent price. I just couldn't wait until it came out when I'm 30. ;3. So now, I'm trying to finish the original game before I start on the newest one. :3

I had to help Ricky out today by buying diapers. All I have to say is that buying diapers with your brother (who knows more about diapers than you do.) is one of the funny moments that you don't really need alcohol to appreciate the humor of it. But sweet Jesus, diapers are expensive! I'm so glad that I don't have children right now.

Peace and bare feet,

Today was just not a good day. I'm still in shock that Heath Ledger was found dead this afternoon. According to some reports, they found some sleeping pills near him, which led investigators to believe that he overdose on them. It's pretty hard to OD on sleeping pills. I will have to wait until the entire report comes out to know the full story. I liked Heath Ledger's work, especially A Knight's Tale and 10 Things I Hate About You. I haven't seen Brokeback Mountain yet (I was waiting for the "gay cowboy" stigma to wear off), but I will now definitely make it a point to go see the new Batman movie when it comes out in honor of him.

In less exciting news, I did some winter cleaning today. I needed to gather all my books together so I can put them up for sale on Amazon Marketplace. I have far too many books lying around in my room, and I really need the money. I also straightened out my closet, since it had been junky since I moved in. I had planned on going to the movies to see Cloverfield, but I ended up not going because my friend decided to throw a fit, then bailed on me. I really need a job and a car, I feel like a hermit when I'm not in school. There's nothing for me to do...

Except for watching Maury and cooking up weird recipes...

Sigh....

Today is a good day for a huge mug of hot cocoa with whipped cream or marshmallows. It's snowing outside again. :3

This week went by rather quickly, which means that I need to start getting ready for school (I know that it isn't until March, but I need to get everything done by Feb. 29). We took Shon to Outback Steakhouse for his birthday.  It was a nice time; Mom has had a really difficult week at school. Her principal is trying to exercise her own agenda, which is to either make Mom quit or curse her out. Mom cares too much for her students to get fired over some monkey-looking bitch. She treats her students like she would her own kids, so of course she wants what's best for them. Unfortunately, the principal just doesn't want to listen to her. I told her that she needs to do the same thing that the school that she got kicked out of did: picket the bitch. I don't know how that is going to work out (Apparently, the principal is related to the school superintendent)  but the other teachers need to do something before this woman thinks she has complete control over the school.

It's snowing!!! *happy squee*

So Saturday didn't go as plan.  Ben and I planned on seeing I am Legend, but we ended up missing our movie. Ben still doesn't know how to get to my house in less than 20 minutes. ;3 So we ended just deciding to go shopping. I had some money burning a hole in my pocket. So my first stop was Game Stop. I ended up getting Tales of Phantasia and Golden Sun (must find Golden Sun: The Lost Age if it kills me :3). After that, I wandered over to Borders. I made good on my promise to get myself a honest-to-goodness tarot card deck. After not being able to choose between all the lovely decks (I had to remind myself to not get all hung up on the different art styles), I ended up going with my gut instinct and purchased the Rider-Waite Deck. Now, I just need to learn how to do readings properly and I should be okay. :3

Ben laughed at me because I refused to go clothes shopping with him. I just don't like clothes shopping. :3

So now, I'm in the process of looking for some DS Lite decals to buy. My white DS is just driving me crazy, it's so plain. XP.  I'm checking out Decal Girl and I've found two or three that I really like: Midnight Garden, Pink Tranquility, and Black/White Fleur. I wish I could just buy all three, but I know that I'll probably just use one and keep it like that.

Anyone know a place that sells DS Lite charms? :3

Peace and bare feet,
