I would like to say that I’m not the one that gets aggravated when I’m not invited to something because generally I don’t enjoy going out all that much. I’m an introvert, of this I do not deny. I embrace it.

At the same time, this is the third, or fourth, time I’ve gotten “wait, you weren’t invited too?” from other people regarding a group of people I no longer see because, I feel, my ex is there.

Not that I really want to see him either, honestly, but I’ve tried to be a nice ex. I also have a breaking point of my patience and it’s going to grant me sainthood in various religions because of my patience.

I don’t get invited because my ex is there.

Likely at his request.

Because I’m the bad guy here Mr I didn’t bathe, nor try to find a job, or go back to school, or do anything that wasn’t annoy me about the side of the bed I slept on and MMO drama.

Urge to crash the newest outing rising, with a side of bringing my girlfriend and being as obnoxiously in love as I really am with her.

Caring level of respective parties knowing this: zero.

GM Diaconfrost :i was thinking of all the things that could be in the trunk of the mustache hotrod. making a list on my mind

Meilin Kikkano:…a dead body? >_> or three. >_>

GM Diaconfrost: 1: Boss Lady 2: Zelda Book 3: Mace 4: electric shock pistol 5: Ninja smoke granades ( never know when they most needed for quick exit) 6: phone with lots of MMO songs 7: Bioshock shotgun (for the Zombieland out there) 8: Sake (most have) 9: Doctor Who laser

….I need to go buy some smoke bombs.

I am still a giant toddler, and as such, I have a small crush on the shaggy, blue, wall-eyed Cookie Monster.

He’s usually got some wonderful, grammatically wrong, words of wisdom too! But, my internet skeptic is always out in full blast, so when I’ve stumbled upon:

I don’t think Cookie does a lot of ‘love’ talking.

and it’s 6000000 clones. I was a little skeptical. I mean, the quote is lovely, if Cookie actually said it because Cookie is awesome and I’d totally give my last cookie up to my loves. (Maybe)

However, please don’t believe everything you read on the internet, per usual. The origins of the quote seem to come from:

Where Cookie says nothing about love. Ah… oh well.

No offense, I would not give up my last cookie for friends. I will bite off your hand.

(If someone could find me a clip where he does actually say the love line, wonderful. I don’t see anything!)

And now, I use this time to post more Sesame Street clips!

My mother has a terrible habit of buying delicious fruits and letting them rot away before I can taste their delicious innards. It makes me crazy, and almost makes me want to brave my own knife skills so I can eat the wonderful bits.

(My fingers thank me from not acting on these silly ideas.)

So, alas, when I spied a pineapple sitting on the counter three days after it’s purchase, I cringed. I could see the delicious tropical fruit becoming mush as the days passed on, and nobody likes a squishy pineapple.

Because I’m a weirdo, I composed a letter to my mother, explaining that I wanted the pineapple cut. Except I wrote it as the pineapple. His name was Sir Pine of Apple and his only desire in life is to be beheaded, skinned, and eaten. Talk about a vorarephilic pineapple!

While the letter did crack my parents up, still, Sire Pine of Apple lived on. I added a new note, this time, a blunt “kill me”, and left it in his slowly browning hairdo.

When I returned to the kitchen, Sir Pine of Apple had been stabbed, yet he still breathed! A common kitchen knife was sunk into his succulent yellow flesh, yet his head was still attached and his skin far from flayed off.

So, before I left for school, I added “Harder! With more feeling!”

I arrived in the kitchen last night to find Sir Pine of Apple missing from the counter.

I brought his flesh to work with me today.

He was delicious.

I’ve stopped eating crappily (my god you have no idea how badly I wanted to chow down with the kids today…) so no stuffing my face tomorrow, though I might rationalize a SINGLE anpan for lunch. I can try to bring food from home to eat, but since I have ~$6 I can just survive on a single anpan ($1.50) and maybe some roasted nuts since someone promised to go food shopping and didn’t. I could get my usual tonkatsu, but that’ll eat up my entire remaining money budget.

I’ve also put myself on a money-freeze, with gas as the exception, until my vacation (May 24th). I reasoned that I can get to mid-week before refilling on gas, and then a total fill should take me to my vacation, or get me at least to the week of… and if I take out $40 cash, I’ll save even more because they do charge quite more for credit card purchases.

I can walk the ~12 blocks to class and back to the train, and my dad lends me his monthly pass so I don’t have to cash out for school.

..and then I found out that Monday is the scholastic book fair.

Why?!?!?!?

…But, I did ask my mommy for book fair money, and she gave me some. :3 I wanna get Pete the Cat.

Three weeks without new manga. I can do it.

FINALLY GETTIN’ SERIOUS ABOUT MY GODDAMNED JAPANESE NOTES.

I use a flashcard program on my computer called Anki. I fell quite in love with it’s 1.0, and kind of dislike, but learning to deal, with 2.0. I had to figure out a way to rearrange all my cards better then lumping them into a HUGE PILE, so Nouns/Verbs/I-Adj/Na-Adj/Kanji and then I think I’ll just do things like phrases/idioms/counting outside the program since they are aggravating and have a bazillion rules that would be hard to flashcard.

On my Android (A glorious os!), AnkiMobile was free and worked wonderfully and I used it often. My decks got quite messy and I always wanted to redo them, but insanity made my brain take a detour and I just kind of gave up for a while. NO LONGER. Anyway, since I’ve now changed to the much less wonderful iphone, the Anki app costs $25, and it’s getting quite the negative set of reviews. As much as I wanna fuck around in it and see if I can’t at least try to get it working, I’m not throwing two manga away for the app to tinker around. Especially when I’m saving every last penny for my Canadian trip right now (Can I get by on $60 in gas for a month? Most likely… Reginald, as much as I miss you, you were a gas monster. Reginald II is quite nicer on fuel. Still terrifies me.).

So, I’ll do Anki on my desktop/laptop before/after work. I can use the Anki website to bring up my decks if I really want as well, and that’s free.

I can also put down $3 (much more reasonable..) for a good set of hiragana/katakana flashcards from Real Kana. I like them because I can pick a few ‘fonts’ for each symbol to broaden my recognition of them a bit better. I still also need to practice writing the damn things out, so maybe after my vacation I’ll buy a white board or something I can put in my lap. I have printouts and a workbook but I don’t wanna photocopy it forever and waste tons of ink/paper when I can just whiteboard it up all the time.

I’m glad I saved myself ~$22 but maaaaan, why cant this just work like AnkiMobile did.

If my handwriting wasn’t so shitty (OR IS IT?!) I’d just make a hundred billion normal flashcards.
