For the past few days I've either been at my cousin's house or I was staying with my cousin. She's just been bored I guess, but I feel like I wasted so much time those three days I was with her :s we did absolutely nothing all day. I hate that feeling. But enough of that.

I'm not going to list everything I got for Christmas but I got some pretty awesome stuff. Though... The iTunes card that I was really looking forward to this year wasn't activated at the register :'< so I can't use it. $25 down the drain. That's $25 worth of music I could have bought! I checked online and the only way I can activate the card is by emailing a picture of the front, back, and receipt of purchase for the card to someone at the iTunes dept. I don't have the receipt, and if the family member who got it for me does still somehow have it, they live two hours away from me :< I'm so disappointed. I was going to spend New Years Eve buying some new music for my phone and daydreaming about 2013 *sigh* oh well I guess. I'll try to get my parents to help me set something up. 

So anyways, I'd like to make note of my New Year's resolutions. I honestly don't usually do this, but I think this year, they're realistic, and a good idea. This year I only have two resolutions. Get a job, and renew my passion for drawing. I'm already on my way to the second resolution, but I know the first one will be more difficult. I'm searching outside of Riverbank, thank goodness my parents are kind enough to be willing to drive me to work until I can either start paying them for gas or get my license. I don't act like it, or voice it often, but I'm really lucky to have the parents I have. They do so much for me, that most parents wouldn't consider. 

I'm going to stay up until 12 AM January 1st 2013 like I do every year, but I plan on putting up an extra blog as soon as the time changes. I'm looking forward to welcoming in the new year online tonight ^.^

22/12/12 - Pokémon!

Welly well well :D hey there! So much neat stuff has happened to me since the last post. Not anything too exciting, but things that make me really happy.

So a couple days back I lost my glasses for about a day and a half. It was just awful. I couldn't see anything. I felt like a hopeless, blind mouse. I felt like I couldn't do anything. I had a constant headache for that day and a half due to eye strain. Can you imagine? It was awful. I actually took a NAP it hurt so bad. I HATE naps. But then I found them so all was well in the kingdom~

 Then my friend helped me get back into FB roleplaying by making some OC art for me to use and rping with me until 1 AM that night. It felt really good. We also played some Draw My Thing before that which was hella fun too. I love playing that game with friends X3

 Today I did a couple neat things. First though, when Michael came over to visit the other day, we played Pokemon Black & White together. He gave me a tepig that I badly wanted *.* thank you Michael! So this morning I got around to trying to level it and something really neat happened. I was just about to enter the tall grass to start training my level 1 tepig (I ran back to Pinwheel Forest from Nimbasa City, thank goodness for bicycles) when a plot of grass started shaking. I, as I'm sure many others do, thanked Game Freak and ran into it. The results were far more than pleasing. The battle began and after about 5 tackles from my tepig, audino took it out with doubleslap in two hits. I threw out my snivy next and instead of attacking it simply used leech seed on the audino, used a revive on my tepig, and brought the tiny pokemon back into battle. The effects of leech seed did most of the work for my tepig, and when I finally defeated it, the results were far greater than what I had expected. Pling, pling, pling, pling, pling! Over and over! The joyous sound repeated until my tepig had reached level 14! In ONE BATTLE I was able to save myself a good twenty/thirty minutes of training! This, to my surprise, was not only because audinos are worth more exp. when you defeat them, but also because apparently, traded pokemon get exp. boosts! This pleased me endlessly and I was happy for most of the morning. I also experienced a great first for me in Pokemon today as well. You see, I love minccinos. I don't know why. I just really love minccinos. So I caught two. I knew I'd never have the time (or patience for that matter) to level up both pokemon, so I stuck them in the daycare instead. This was some time before my trade with Michael. So, after the shock of leveling my tepig so greatly I realized that the daycare was near by and I should probably check on my pokemon. So I went, and when I  approached the counter to talk to the old lady that runs the daycare, it surprised me that when I tried to get my pokemon back all she'd say is "Ah, there you are! My husband has been looking for you!" I, confused, wondered outside to find the daycare lady's husband, whom I was completely unaware of or the fact that it was the old man standing right outside. When I spoke to him he also said that he had been looking for me and then informed me that they had found my pokemon carrying eggs. I knew you could get a pokemon egg in the games, but I had no clue how. Then when he asked me if I wanted them, I almost started crying in joy. Then, (bonus!!) when I decided to talk to him again to see if he'd say something different, or something regarding how to hatch the egg, he repeated the previous dialogue from the first time I received an egg and proceeded to give me another! I was left with two eggs! I retrieved my minccinos that I had came there for in the first place, and moved on to level my tepig up to my current team's level. Long story short, by the end of the day I hatched both of the eggs simply by walking around training my tepig, and now I have two more minccinos that I have no idea what to do with @.@ I have now decided that I am the minccino breeder, and have put it on my trainer card. (haha!).
 Today, I also went to a bbq at my aunt's house. I'm not very social... I pretty much spent the whole time there sitting on the floor in a corner with my headphones on listening to Lindsey Sterling and playing Pokemon. But it was SO ADORABLE. When my youngest cousin, Jacob, realized I was playing a video game he curled up right next to me and watched me play, letting me teaching him the glory of pokemon the entire time ^w^ and near the end, the older cousin (who is still only 9, but the smartest 9-year-old you will EVER meet) realized I was playing pokemon as well, and also curled up next to me. But to my surprise the kid knew more about pokemon than I did! He'd already caught both the Black and White legendaries on the online version, and had already finished the DS version! I actually carried on a very otaku and smart conversation with a 9 year old boy! It was the cutest thing ever, I was so happy. There is still hope for the pokemon generations TTwTT

That's about it for today. Woah. I wrote a lot more than I planned to X3 ah well, there's nothing wrong with it. Maybe some day a magazine company will find my writing and hire me as a journalist XD lol. I also realize that in the last post for some reason the bottom paragraph is highlighted. Yeah. I have no idea why that's like that, but I really don't care to fix it XD Goodnight~

Today went from okay and unsure to nice and simple. I thought I was just going to sit around today making one of my friend's Christmas presents and playing Sim Social, do the dishes, and practice Romeo and Cinderella. But instead I ended up going to my aunt's house. Nothing really interesting happened there. Sat on the love seat and played some Pokemon Black, then played Dragon Ball Z on the PS2 with my two little cousins (they're so smart!) and went home. My aunt was also getting rid of her desk so she gave it to me! YAY! I have a new desk. I don't usually change the way my room looks so I get really excited when I get something that will greatly change the appearance of my room.
 After we left my aunt's place we were all really hungry so we got food from Golden Chopsticks. Normally, I hate Chinese food, but I'd never been there before so I had no idea that they had such a delicious-looking menu! I ordered the chicken tariyaki bowl (which I'm still attempting to finish) and it's really good! ✫✫✫✫✫ on this bowl, best I've had so far. Plus there was a young Asian girl taking my order, probably the daughter of the shop owner. She was so cute! Poised, calm, and had the cutest voice I've ever heard!

I have a friend coming over tomorrow that I haven't seen in a really long time. I'm excited. I don't know if I'll post tomorrow, but I might have a lot to talk about so, you never know~

Currently eating: Chicken Teriyaki rice bowl
Excited for: Finishing a dance, seeing an old friend, finding a new romance

Christmas is coming up. Why did I say that? Because I'm busting my ass making presents for my friends D: I've never hand-made presents for all of my friends. And I'll be honest, I feel kinda bad because I suck at hand-made stuff but... I'm poor. And it's the thought that counts, right? I love my friends and I don't care if they never wear what I'm making for them, I just want to give them something that I made specifically for them. That's whats' important to me this year.
 I'm also trying to work really hard to get them done before X-mas but I fear that even if I get them all completed, my mom is going to be too lazy to take me to friends' houses to drop them off (haha!).
 On a different note, my father (not my step dad, who is just my "dad") bought me an HD flatscreen tv for Christmas. This was a shock to me because he's never really been apart of my life, and then for him -someone who is almost a complete stranger to me- to buy me something as nice as a flatscreen tv... I'm just shocked. And I feel bad, really. I don't like it when people who aren't close to me (my mother pretty much : P) spend money on me, or spend time on making me something. It makes me sad. I also get nervous when receiving gifts for some reason. I feel awkward getting things from people. I guess I'm always worried I'll seem ungrateful...

I love breaks off from school, they give me time to focus on me, and being me, and building who I am as a person. It sounds weird, maybe even a little self-centered, but I tend to completely lose who I am when I'm in school, and I kind of revert back into this state of acting like a 12-year-old whenever I have school. Weekends and breaks however, I feel as though I can really figure out who I am, because I don't have to focus on school or anything else. I can just relax and be myself :3

Anyways... I find myself in an awkward internal situation o.o basically, I've been in a relationship with someone for the past two years. Now I'm single again and it just feels weird. I've been single for just a couple months and sometimes... I feel like I'm just going to die with this need to let out affection. It's weird, mostly because I've never viewed myself as an affectionate person. I don't really know if I want a relationship right now, since my last one was a total disaster and I don't want to chance discovering any scars. But yet... I find myself feeling little sparks of /something/ towards people I would normally not consider at all. I'm not worried about it, though. The events of these past few months have made me grow in personal strength and confidence more than I could possibly explain. I guess it's true, what doesn't kill you really does make you stronger (ugh, I hate that song). Though there is one I find myself specifically attracted to, I'm not going to go for it just yet. Not only are there some things that just seem wrong about it, but I also know that it could just be some devious part of my brain trying to do something stupid. I do, however, feel as though I might tell him just to get it off my chest. Sometimes, if I just tell a person how I feel, and see them react in a not-so-positive way, I don't feel that way for them anymore.

That's it for now~ heihei

9/12/12 - Dayum :D

Wow! Heeeeey! It's been a long time :3 a lot has gone on since my last post and I have a buttload of things to talk about. First though, I'd like to say that I have been meaning to blog for the past couple of weeks. Sadly, though, my notebook had been taken away from me. My mother randomly gave it back last night though, so, I guess I'll catch up while I have the chance! I don't know how long this will last. You never really realize how much you'll miss something until it's gone - like this blog!

 Okie dokie so, like I said, LOTS to catch up on. I'll start with the first thing I began to do. I recently completely driver's ed. WOOP! Now what? I wait ten months to take my permit test. If I tried to get my permit now I'd have to pay 200-and-something dollars to go to a driving test. Screw dat. Hard to believe I only have 10 months until I'm 17 and a half, huh? Yeah, it's crazy...
 Onto the next thing! I joined my friends' Glee Club a couple weeks ago and I'm really excited because I've never taken part in any extra club or anything like this. I'm kinda sad though.... I'm a pretty good singer when I practice at home but I get so nervous at practice that I shake and sweat and... Yeah. I hope I can do this. Our first plan is to go caroling at christmas tree lane. We're learning "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" for our first song... I honestly hate this song simply because I don't know what notes to hit at some parts, but now that I have my computer back I'm sure I can practice with youtube videos :>
 Lastly.... I FOUND MY MIC BIATCH!!!! I haven't tested it out with this computer yet, but I'm glad that I at least found it. I've been looking for it for like, forever :D wish me luck in that the quality is good, so I can finally upload some vocal covers for the tube of yous!~

So yeah that's it doods :3
