this past week has actually been a bit more eventful than my usual posts tend to suggest. I got the classes that I needed for class, all officially added to my schedule, I paid my fees, got my parking permit for the school, bought my textbook, etc etc. I also found out at work that I had been promoted since February the 6th? lol I wish someone would've told me sooner. Either way, as of this week, I'm not being scheduled as a courtesy clerk/bagger. I'm going to be trained this thursday for running the front desk, and sometime this week I'll get on my manager's ass about finishing my training for books. Seems to be a weekly event. Whatever it takes.

On friday, I went out with my sister for her friend's birthday celebration at our favorite place ever Nodaji. I got pretty drunk, but not even bad. I've been worse and I was fine by the time we got home. It was a lot of fun and I am still a bit sore from dancing. A customer from work recognized me at the bar we hit afterwards and sat next to me and it was really awkward but I didn't want to be a bitch because he sees me often enough. Obviously.

Speaking of being a bitch, I saw one of my ex-coworkers from Subway there? He informed me that, apparently, our other coworker that I had a crush on (but never actually pursued aside from a kiss or two because goddammit I know better than that) told him that I slept with him. Lol beautiful. Being a woman is amazing sometimes. The things that people get to say about you that are just accepted as fact, no matter what you do. Because of course I would be lying. It was a bit depressing.

I mean it's not hanging over my life or anything, but I get kind of down when I experience these "because you have a vagina" moments.

Saturday night I was exhausted, but I accompanied crystal to Disneyland so she wouldn't be 7th wheel in her group of friends that were going. We were only there for two hours but I had a good time. We rode the Jungle Cruise at night and that was pretty cool. Jungle Cruise has to be one of my favorites if only for the puns. SO MANY PUNS aahh

As of Thursday morning, I completed one of the goals on my To Do List this year: Go to Disneyland for Leap Day and stay there until the sun rises. We left at around 11pm the night before and stayed until six in the morning. It was packed and I was a bit worried at the beginning. They weren't letting anyone in till around 12:40, but luckily everything was timed really well and we didn't have to wait long? The good thing about having a pass with no blackout dates is that you don't have to try to do everything at once. We were perfectly fine waiting in line for coffee and food and waiting over forty minutes for the Haunted Mansion. This is not sarcasm. I was with my two sisters, two of her friends, and my friend Marc. He was a late addition, but a blessed one he was. He had me laughing the whole night and I actually enjoyed joining him on his smoke breaks.

After the sun rose and Disneyland closed, we dragged ourselves to Mimi's Cafe for breakfast and then dragged ourselves to my house for some much needed sleep in which Marc joined me in my bed. I've never shared my bed with someone who wasn't family before and to be honest, I didn't sleep well out of being self conscious. I didn't actually mind sharing, but I couldn't relax either. I hope he got some kind of rest though. He said "I hope you know this means we're friends, I don't cuddle with just anyone." For the record, we didn't cuddle but I think he meant just sharing the bed in general. I'm never really sure what to think around people who aren't Javier. I was content he said so, but I always wonder what people think of me. Not anyone, just people who I guess are candidates for friends? One of my coworkers at work is really nice, but she's kind of like that to everyone and she's just one of those...people that you just can't tell how genuine they're being? Carolyn and Marc are kind of like that. Carolyn for sure. I have to get to know them better I think.

Sometimes I wonder when I became so distrusting of people. Or I don't know. What's a better word for it? I guess I have my guard up, I wonder where that came from.

Anyway, next week I'll be getting film back from the first lomokino (film movie) roll I shot. I'm excited and can't wait to get it back. However, scanning it and editing it together is gonna be a trip. I also have to send off the regular 35mm I shot on Disney Day...so many photos, so lazy.

I finished The World Ends With You last night. I liked it a lot and I'm ready for them and their cameos in KH3D. Even though Beat made me laugh the most, I'm still pretty attached to Joshua, probably on a completely shallow level. I like his voice actor and he's a dickface and he was the most attractive. Probably on account of being a dickface. I also like that his story/role surprised me the most.

I think it'd be a lot of fun to cosplay this year. I'm still in love with Aqua and I think it'd be pretty badass to dress up as her. I don't want to suck though. And her design isn't so simple. Mostly because of the armor and stuff. My second option is Sailor Neptune, not so pressing with the accessories.

This summer for sure I'm going to take the sewing class. Excited.

Today was quite the interesting day. In my first hour of work, I met Thea Gill from Queer As Folk. It was slow and I happened to be at the right checkstand at the time. She was pretty surprised that anyone recognized her at all, while I was surprised that I'd recognize someone I'd seen on television (let alone a show I adore) in my small ass town. She said something about looking a mess and I told her she looked lovely and she told me I was cute and asked my name. It was very special and no one at work knew, or even after they did, had any idea why it was significant.

Not much later though I got stressed and frustrated and had some bitch from vons customer service get personal with me and when I'm frustrated enough, I cry. So I cried. Which was unfortunate because then you're left with bloodshot eyes even after you feel better. I had Vanessa and Andrea comfort me. I adore Vanessa and appreciated Andrea listening. I work with pretty good people. But of course, going back downstairs was awkward. Manager asking if I'm okay, people giving me weird looks cause my eyes were red as the devil. Ugh.

Previous to all of this, I had a stern talk with my manager about my school schedule and made sure he understood and put in my request for the days I need to get the classes I need. He is truly a difficult and thick headed man, but I succeeded, much to the amusement of Shawn, the bookkeeper who heard everything. After my emotional debacle, I was worried that my manager would think me weak, as he did before I had my word with him, but oh well. if I was stern with him once, I'm sure I could do it again.

In non-work related news, the new black butler chapter was a filler but a very good filler. At first I thought it was going to be pure fluff/crack for the fandom after a serious storyline, but it was amusing and held serious hints that I don't understand, but I'm positive are a small part of a bigger story. I can appreciate that.

Finished the Shiki chapter in The World Ends With You. Onto Joshua. Sometimes I enjoy him and sometimes, I'm verbally exclaiming "fuck you/off" to the DS. Also, fuck his number fighting system. The fuck is that? Stroyline's interesting, however this week I don't have any hour lunches so I'll have to work in game time while I'm at home.

I also want to beat KH2 again for my own amusement. Not even the whole game, I just want to do the ending because the fights with Xemnas are fun as fuck. Eventually, I want to replay all of Birth By Sleep in Proud mode as well. I still go back and forth on finishing 358/2 Days. I also kind of want to play Re:Coded.

I also kind of want all of the Vanitas/Sora dubcon, is that bad?

Last friday was my Celebration for my job holding status. I decided to have it at BJs because most people seem to like it and the food's delicious. More people came than I expected and I had a great time. It was kind of weird seeing all of my friends all together at once. I expect to have a similar gathering sometime in the summer. I just want a beach party.

I haven't hung out with Clarissa again. I'm gonna try and ask her out for next week when I have more money because I'm kind of broke already and am still meeting up with Andy today. We were supposed to hang out last week but he called to ask me to reschedule. No big deal. I hope he's a cool guy at least.

I finished birth by sleep a couple of nights ago and everything is beautiful and everything hurts. I have a whole week of one hour lunches at work and yesterday I had no game to play. It was very boring. But javier let me borrow his DS and his copy of The World Ends With You, so I'll be starting that this week. I'm excited~

School's almost starting soon. I'm really hoping I can get my books training in and finished before that starts. But we'll see.

boring boring boring life

Last night while I was at work, the girl that I had previously mentioned came up to my checkstand and asked if I wanted to hang out that night. Completely surprised me, and I thought it was funny considering I was already planning on giving her my number the next time I saw her. Obviously I said yes. Since the day I saw her, I kind of imagined what she would be like. I was hoping she'd be an artist and turns out she is, and luckily, in a non-hipster way. She plays spanish guitar and has an interest in photography, but a real interest. She lived in Mexico for a while to get in touch with her roots. I think she's really cool. We just talked while I ate on account of always being starved by the time I get off of work, but really. I had a nice time and I really hope I can see her more, get to know her more.

Aside from that, today was my day off. I spent the day online as I do, kind of put a few things about my future in perspective. I get really excited when I think about how things are going to pan out.

Started Aqua's story on birth by sleep. Let's bring it.

woke up with a sore throat yesterday morning, which has carried into today which is awesome because we just started promoting this new thing at work that required lots of spiels and explanations. My throat is feeling it. I brought cough drops and am taking some medicine.

also when I arrived to work, my manager was insisting that I was going to stay until midnight and I was like what the fuck? I had plans after 8 to watch Beauty and the Beast with my sisters in 3D and it was very upsetting that they were seemingly bullying me into staying until midnight without even asking me. My manager said he was kidding, which isn't unusual for him, but afterwards I had a talk with him about how I would appreciate at least being asked to stay. I don't mind doing favors, I don't mind coming in place for someone else, I don't mind helping out. But I don't like to be asked about it as if I'm obligated. As if it's a given that I'm just going to stay. He's a real jokester, so I'm not sure if my sincerity came through, but I did what I could.

turned out I didn't need to stay afterwards anyway and it all worked out. Beauty and the Beast was absolutely stunning and I'm an emotional lass who shed a few tears even though I know the whole movie word by word. Belle's voice actress, Paige O'Hara, did a fantastic job and there's a reason the Disney Renaissance films are still classics.

last night I continued with birth by sleep and made it to the Keyblade Graveyard with Ven. I really love this series so much. the story, the voice acting, the characters. everything's so messed up and I'm left to ramble to people who don't care and I feel bad but I just have so many feelings about it. I'm not sure if I'm up to attempting to beat it tonight though. It is still 12:50. But this headache.

I wish I could feel like I could be in the fandom, but I just can't. This goes for any fandom. I just. I don't really like people? when you befriend quality people, it's hard to not compare everyone else to them. It is kind of lonely though.

Regardless, I'm generally happy. Life's good
