That's really awesome. :3

Also, thanks for reminding me I have a checkup in July. I'm already paranoid about that, even if my nurse seems like a nice person and willing to work around my crippling fear of medical personel.

@Kari: LOL'd at the videos you found. Kinda makes me want to do the same -w-

Work went decently; was tiring, but otherwise no real issues. Stayed a bit later, too, just to make sure they didn't get slammed with a party coming in last-minute like last Friday

they actually had a second copy of Jerry Mcguire, but i couldn't afford both. ;^;

as mentioned in RPT, i probably have some more tapes to send them. most of the tapes in the box are just Disney movies (5/5: would donate), but there are one or two i plan to keep or send away (An American Tail, and there was some sort of 80's lookin-tape in there that i don't remember what it's about). also scored a Bundt pan (.50 cents), a Larping prop (halloween sickle taped to a halloween polearm, .25 cents), and some video games (Ed Edd & Eddy: Jawbreakers! (GBA); GTA: San Andreas (PS2); THPS 3 (GBA); THPS Underground (PS2); Blinx: The Time Sweeper (Xbox)).

unexpectly good day thus far, hope it continues that way. not really feeling like a japanese lesson atm, so i may watch some old 60's "chinese" flicks. -w-;

Me too, actually. Bought a CD case full of Dreamcast games (About 18 of them) for $5, and also picked up a small Rainbow Dash plushie on clearance at Wal-Mart for $3 (Compared to the Rarity plushie I gave you, and especially the Cadance plushie I gave Bella, she is very much little)

I have a full list of the games I obtained typed up, but currently testing all of them to see if they work before I post the list here. So far, so good

EDIT: I've tested everything out; list under the spoiler

I wish I could go to yard sales like the ones I see in YouTube videos.

Chocofreak13 · June 07, 2014, 04:04:08 PM

like the one in Barrington?

cause we didn't go this week, but we might go next week.

Nichi · June 08, 2014, 09:42:42 AM

Hopefully, you won't run into what I did yesterday; when I noticed a garage sale down the street. Picture trying to look around, when you have this horrible-smelling chain smoker following you around, having to tell you about everything you see there (I mean, every single goddamn thing; like he thinks you're an idiot and wouldn't know this chair you're looking at is a chair). Honestly, it was one of those sort of people that you just want to tell them "I'll pay you $20 if you shut up and stop following me"

Chocofreak13 · June 08, 2014, 12:49:10 PM

ughhhhh. did you give the guy the dirty look, or at least the polite "um, thankyou sir, i'm fine".

at the very least we didn't go to that today and the yard sales yesterday were alright. donated all the excess tapes earlier, too.

I have to go to Michigan in 2 weeks.

At first we were just going to go to the Detroit area but now we're driving about 200 miles north to the middle of the state to stay with my grandparents at their cottage.

Pros:
-Peaceful
-Actually not super-ugly (it's on a lake)
-Multiple bedrooms means i probably won't be relegated to sleeping on a sofa

Cons:
-We can no longer make the trip in one day, since it takes about another 4 hours to drive up there (NH to Detroit is ~12 hours)
-The drive is through Redneck Country™
-Dad's thinking of spending a night at "our" friend's place. They're very old HS friends of his and my mom and okay people but they're also JAYSUS FREAKS and good god do hardline Christians set me on edge. (To clarify, they became uber-religious later in life, when they were young they were actually hippie types?? Oh sweet terrible irony.)
-Sharing a cottage with my step-grandmother a.k.a. World's #1 Passive Agressive Minnesotan

Nichi · June 09, 2014, 12:30:38 AM

@Kari: I did give him a glare, but he didn't seem to catch on :\

@Bella: I hope it goes well :[
Also, those friends remind me of my mom's younger sister; she was apparently a very wild child when she was younger (I've never heard the full story, but from what I can gather from little bits I've overheard, it involved drugs), but somewhere along the line she became a hardcore "holier than thou" Christian; which she is to this day, lining up with the rest of mom's family perfectly.

So, today's had its ups and downs; stomach has been messed up most of the day, plus I felt depressed earlier when I began thinking about how we're upon the 2nd anniversary of when I took my trip up north yet I'm no closer to moving. Then I heard a coworker I don't like might be getting fired (finally), which made my afternoon.

Then, about 30 minutes ago, a childhood dream was realized after nearly 20 years; I beat Ancient Empires on Expert. It's been a long journey, but at last I've completed it 100%
(Now, maybe I'll finally get off my lazy ass and finish Persona 3; which I've left hanging for months -w-; )

ugh yesterday sucked so much.

got into a massive fight with my sister (which, not to sound childish, she started) involving saturday game. she claims "everyone is getting sick of it" but considering she's used the speaking for others trick in the past to lie to me, i refuse to take her at her word. if they don't like it, THEY can tell me, and we can end it. (honestly, if it's gonna cause this much drama i'm gonna end it regardless.)
i tried to end the conversation before it devolved into a fight by brushing it off with a "whatever" (since i KNEW it was gonna get worse if it continued, and that it should have been brought up to the GROUP rather than a one-on-one confrontation), she got all pissy and offended and said "don't treat me like you treat mum" (i still have no idea what this means since i'm pretty sure i treat my mum better than i do her, honestly). she got pissed because i got in her face, threated to kick me out a few times, and i left because i had better things to do than deal with her bullshit. spent half an hour sitting in the goddamn parking lot crying and waiting for my phone to finish updating, then drove home in ragetears and took an hour-long walk (turned around when i started feeling like i was going to puke). came home, went out with mum, spent the rest of the afternoon/evening when i got back doing random bullshit such as reading missing persons' files and downloading new backgrounds for my phone (i ended up more than doubling my collection :0 ).

no one came after me or called, which sorta cemented the "we don't need you" vibe in my mind, like they don't even want me there. they always say how much my character sucks anyway, so i get the feeling i'm only being kept there out of obligation or because i'm the best at searching, disabling traps and picking locks. that might be the pity party talking but it sorta hurts when no one chases after you when you leave.

i'm reeeeeeeeeally not looking forward to talking to her, alex, or even arty as things are going to be awkward as fucking shit. >>;;;;;

(@bella: ughhhhhh, that sounds like it sucks too. spend as much time as you can outside and bring way more things to do than you can actually do?)

Nichi · June 09, 2014, 12:03:33 PM

*hug*
To be honest, I miss playing tabletop RPGs, but trying to work out the scheduling is a pain :\

poor bby ;^;

I came home just now feeling quite angry from some reason, but then I looked at pictures of Touhou girls, and now I'm calm.

Life is like a coin. The two sides are pain and pleasure.
You may be on one of the sides now but remember
the other side is waiting for its turn

Chocofreak13 · June 09, 2014, 02:14:50 PM

@pent, leaf, simon? : thanks guys, i don't think arty knows about any of it since she hasn't brought it up. i'm gonna ask her how game was regardless, cause i want to know what i missed. but idk if i'm up to asking her about the changeling game just yet.
