I went to my first "real" party last night and had my first shot of imported Irish whiskey. Followed by a shot of rum, then a few shots of gin (I HATE GIN UGH). Whiskey is the best tasting and feeling of the three by far, and is the first alcohal I've tried that I actually enjoy.
And along with all of that, I got smoked up for the first time since Mike's birthday. The two combined were crazy cool. Bryan and I left the party and went shopping for sexyclothes and played dressup/picture time (laptop has a built in webcam). AND HE LET ME DO HIS MAKEUP. XD!!!! He said he'd go halves with me on a camera so we can get a nice one for our moneymakinz. XD We really need to get going on that.
I'm back on raw foods pretty hardcore and eating a lot of greens. It does wonders for the skin. And energy levels, holy shit. Bryan and I had some pretty fucking amazing sex today. It had been too long. We were both in a grumpy, lazy slump eating sugary crap for a while. No moar, plzkthx! ^-^
Hanging out with my mom was a blast (<0.o>) Yes. A blast. XD!!! I looooove Twilight, but I don't love Edward because he looks too much like Bob the shminx and that's really fuckin' creepy. We had DiGiorno, and I slept in my old bed. First bed I've slept in since I moved out.
Friday we went for a drive, then went to Denny's for burgers (why I decided I needed a rawfood detoooox UGH XD) and went on a really long walk in the woods (no wonder Jen had a blast XD WALKING) and I've convinced her to start walking with me every Friday now. We've never gotten along this well before. I'm so happy.
Cammy came in yesterday to see me at work! And I was already off the clock, so we got to hug and chat and stuff! I miss her. We're gonna get so much food together. Melissa too. We're gonna go to Little Italy and get cannoli and cassata cake.
I start fall bellydance classes at the dance academy this Wednesday. I'm so excited!
I have a few people wanting to buy kale chips and chocolate coconut balls from me, so Imma get to cookin'. XD
Bryan watched the first NANA movie with me and he liked it. ^-^ I BET I'M SO BEHIND ON THE MANGA! EEEP!
Made me miss my kuzn hardcore.
I LOVE YOU, KUZN! WE SO NEED A NANA PARTY!!!
That's what my aunts call me now, after seeing what I wore to Chris's first gig last night. I was damn cute, though. XD
And it didn't bother me anyway, after Aunt Donna told me that at work, her cake said "Happy Birthday Hooker".
I love my family.
The show was fucking amazing. I'm very proud of Chris's drumskillz. People even started moshing. Including Young Bryan. XD Only bad part about it was that Nick kept saying dumb shit between songs, like that he felt like he was going to puke and stuff. But if they knock that off and gain a bit more confidence stage-presence-wise they'll go far fast.
Also. Fitz was on stage for the performance, and I got kickass pictures with the band. I look like I belong in it. *SINGS FOR THEM* I CAN BE THEIR AMY LEE. ONLY BLONDE (*SCARES AMY LEE*). AND HOLDING A STUFFED MOOSE/REINDEER MASCOTT.
OMG I CAN BE NANA! *finds a cooler band XD!!!* KUZN! WIG-BORROWING TIME!
Btw. SO my idea to put Fitz on stage. I'm awesome. *emoheart* XD
Afterwards, Bryan had previous plans to visit a pallypal, so I rode to the afterparty with Aunt donna. Me and Devin were larfing and I was still dancing like crazy. Since all of my festivaling and bellydance classes, I'm no longer shy about dancing AT ALL. So, basically I never stop. But anyway, me and Devin got to talking about a lot of *bizarre whistley noise of paranormality*. BUT. I have so much to tell him about what I've learned in no seat belt land (which I'll of course leave the seatbeltlessness bit out of moooostly) and teach him a bit about how to protect himself better with magick. He knows very little about defensive/basic protective skills and they'll really help him out. So I'll be going over there Thursday after work so we can hang out down by his beach and talk privately for a bit, then have the typical Aunt Donna's bonfire later on, since I'm off on Fridays and can just crash there that night. It'll be sweet. Devin's usually cool one-on-one.
In other news (XD) we've got two new girls at work to replace Jessica and Melissa. Their names are Jessie and Debbie. Jessie is a sixteen-year-old secret spy (friend of the owners' family), and Debbie is just psychotic and obnoxious, and middle-aged. XD Poor Halle has to train them to death and be trapped with them in the evenings now.
They may be trying to get rid of Judge Tim (TERRIBLE!!!) because he's been having (work-stress induced) panic attacks and calling off like three days a week for the last month or so with crazy thyroid shit and what seems to be a touch of depression. But he might actually be trying to get fired so he can collect unemployment and properly search for a better job without being all stressed out while doing it. Which we're ALL hoping for at least a little bit. XD
Except for Little George.
He's too proud of his work.
My bellydance class at the wellness center isn't continuing in the fall because I'm basically the only one who always showed up. XD BUT my teacher also teaches at a dance academy (SO FUCKING COOL!) where I'll be continuing, learning with students who've already been in bellydance for three years, and Nicole (my teacher) said I fit in perfectly with them and am doing a great job. I went to the last summer class there on Tuesday night and it was much more fast-paced, but I still did great. I like this speed better. I get to learn more faster. And since this is a real dance school, there's a recital at the end of the season with a real costume and everything. I'm ecstatic! I'm getting myself a full-length mirror so I can practice better at home. It makes practice worlds better to be able to see yourself.
I'll be good enough to perform or teach... or both. I'm awesome!!! And proud of myself. ^-^
Also, Mike's birthday was on Wednesday, and after work (he got his new jarb he wanted so badly! Yay!) he came over and we gave him a proper celebration, with a homemade (XD) giant chocolate chip cookie (cake thing) and present and card and funtymez. Even Leo came to the party.
We started painting Psychedellic Jesus.

Happy New Year.
Everything is constantly changing. I got a new job in the health food store I love so much, working in the juice bar. I miss my deli buddies, but my new job is so much better and I'm making good friends. Too bad they'll all eventually quit and/or move to California. Christmas was full of Hello Kitty. Cameron's becoming a voice actor and plans to get a house with a couple of his friends after this semester. I'm not ready to move in with him yet, but I'm still not sure what my plans for moving out are. I'm still saving for my degree and need a car/license before I feel comfortable moving out. Niki's back to obsessing over guys and forgetting the rest of the world exists. Who's the real Hachi in this friendship? I miss her. Even though we're in the same room.
She's getting on a plane (or two) by herself to go half way across the country to see this guy. But she's scared to take the bus 15 minutes down the street by herself.
I got a Nintendo DS (and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon / Hello Kitty PDA software) and DDR for my PS2.
I just bought an Aquasana shower filter to celebrate my first paycheck from my new job.
Cameron said his parents are thinking about giving or letting me borrow their laptop that they don't really need anymore to use for school. They think I'm just taking online classes from the local community college I went to for a semester and a half (ish), and don't know about the grandma-box situation. If they decide not to, I'm going to get a credit card and start building up good credit by buying a laptop (that I can afford to pay off right away). Hopefully I'll be back online soon.
My mom's getting off work now. Cameron didn't answer his phone, so I think he's in a class. I really need to see him.
I'm not taking the bus because apparently there's a rapist/theif with a gun on the loose (local enough for concern). I guess I'll end up leaving with my mom while Niki's still asleep.
I told Niki last night how I was upset about her ignoring me to talk to Brett the last three times I've come over. I tried all evening to get her to pay attention to me, but she was more interested in talking to him. Even though it's all she does, and she only sees me once a week (or less). I told her I don't care if she wants to talk to him, but that she shouldn't tell me she's going to hang out with me if she's just going to ignore me.
I finally got her to shut off the computer and watch the Nana anime with me, but I could tell she didn't want to and just felt bad about upsetting me. After the first episode ended she went in the bathroom and didn't come out for at least a half hour. I cleaned up the kitchen and got ready for bed. I wasn't enjoying forcing her to hang out with me, so I rolled over like fifteen minutes after she came back. I heard her get on the phone with Brett. I shut off the tv.
I don't know why I bother.
Thirteen days until I turn twenty.
I think I'll build a snowman when I get home.

I has a shed. We were supposed to paint it today but it's too cold, so the paint wouldn't stick right. Or something. It's huge, but still doesn't completely block the creepy old staring guy from my bathroom window. *shrug* Gramma's stuff is gonna go in there when she moves in. Some of it anyway. Not all of it would even fit in this house if we took all of me and my mom's stuff out (which also barely fits). A lot of it will be given away and some will go into storage I think. Terrible. But I don't care. I'll be moving out anyway. I really should save more. I've been spending a lot lately. But I can't help it. I've gone so long without being able to have anything that I really want to reward myself for little things in a way I never could for... any things before. I'm not buying too much STUFF really. Just Wen and food. Really great food. Delivered to me. Dot com. XD!
I went to Niki's after work on Friday and we ordered in from a sushi place. The sushi was amaaazing and I got a delicious seaweed salad too. Niki got teriyaki chicken (of course XD!) that came with rice, miso soup, a salad (for little kookz!) and these mysterious, yet delicious, pouches of meat. I french-braided her hair, trimmed her NANA wig to perfection and we watched The Breakfast Club (and took pictures). It was super duper fun. And then I went to sleeps.
Yesterday I woke up at 8:30am to find that Chris had been there the whole time. I thought he was at his dad's, but he had just been in his room sleeping since like 6pm the night before. XD!!! I took a shower, then we chatted a bit while Niki was sleeping, and watched super hard mario.
Me and Niknik went to the health food shop and found out the goff girl there is having a baby girl! But apparently it's Tim's, so Niki's back to marrying the sushi chef at my work. Even though the baby is really hers. XD!!! We got mint chocolate swirl rice cream and ate it outside the closed cafe next to the health food shop and had a chat. Then we went back to her house on the bus (while taking pictures) and watched mochi poof up in the oven while laughing (and taking pictures). We had it with some of the agave nectar I bought, and it was reeeally good. And I gave her a treat stick, which she enjoyed. XD
Then I went to Camcam's and watched him fly around his tiny RC helicopter. It's sooo cute! Then we had chicken/azn n00dles/key-lime bars his mom made (surprisingly edible... because it all came out of boxes besides the chicken which was juicy but devastatingly flavorless), and he played with his synth some and showed me Portal before we watched some Initial D and had super cuddles times™. JESUS, that's my boy.
My mom is driving me nuts today. It's one of those days where she got up at the exact same time as me, and decided to do shit in the room I'm in, and give me no privacy and not allowing me to concentrate... CONSTANTLY interrupting me to make me set up this stupid fucking shelf.
There are three new girls in the deli, so I'm working four days a week now instead of five. That gets me $180 a week.
The new health food store opens up in like a month (maybe two?). It's really tempting. If I could work five days a week there, even with slightly less money per hour I'd probably be making more and liking my job more.
She's pounding metal with a mallot three feet away. HELP ME.

Could I be Hachi and not wear a wig? I know I've never seen her hair as long as mine, but if I styled it right I could make it look shorter. Plus my bangs are getting longer and I've been parting my hair to the side anyway. XD And it's not toooo terribly blonde. Dark blonde. I just don't want to wear a wig. They're uncomfortable. LOL I dunno. But anyway, I'm so excited! I really wanted to be Nana and Hachi, but I figured we'd have to wait until next year because Niki talked about being the Joker this year for a long time. BUT SHE CHANGED HER MIND AND SUGGESTED IT TO ME! GREAT MINDS. THINK FOR THEMSELVES. BUT AGREE WITH EACH OTHER. IN THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION. NOW GREAT JOY SHALL COMMENCE!
I'm gonna request Halloween off right away. I'm usually off on Fridays anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem. I think Cameron will be annoyed with this because he was trying to get me to dress as a couple with him. Ugh. He wanted me to be Patty Mayonnaise. D: I suggested Nobu and he said he'd think about it. I think he should be something he wants to be. Something creative. But not Doug. That's terrible. He has too much hair for that.
I think I'll wear my white fluffy frilly skirt I've never worn before. Good place to start.
If my hair gets much longer I'll have to be Reira next year. XD
Even Homer sometimes nods. It's a saying.
So, after a bit of studying, I may get to be the person at work who recommends fancy cheeses to people. Because I luffs cheese. I've been working my ass off all week, so it's pretty sore. XD Really just my legs and upper back. And my feet. And my lower back. ... Okay, pretty much everywhere. I worked Friday, yesterday, and today. Nine hours each day. An hour lunch and two fifteen minute breaks were the only time I got to sit.
Also, this weekend was the garage sale, so I spent most of my non-working time heaving boxes and sorting through crap. And I spent Friday night at Niki's, brought her a tiny nom to cheer her up from her boyfriend moving (though he was THERE for a visit already. XD) and we watched the NANA movie! So great. And had chicken sammiches of JOY.
Yesterday, I finished bringing in everything from the garage sale that we didn't sell (or give to charity afterwards) home, I went to go take a shower because I'd been working all day before that and just felt gross. So, my mom stops me and says I have a package. IT WAS WEN. OH. MY. GOD. My hair has NEVER been so soft in my life. And I also used it as a body wash AND facial cleanser (added salt to make it a scrub for those two). I felt (and smelled) soooo clean and I'm so soft. But not a greasy, overmoisturized soft. A perfect moisture balance I've never experienced. I'm so happy. I'll never have to buy another bath product again.
Anyway, after my AMAZING shower, I scarfed down two slices of pizza, and Cameron took me to see Mamma Mia! XD It was SO fucking hilarious. I loved it. We sang along. XD Everyoned did. LOL Who can resist singing "Dancing Queen" at ALL? I mean, come on. XD
So then, today I thoooought Cameron was getting off work at six. He said he'd take me home from work today, but I got off at four and needed to kill time until he got off. I went to this fancy little ice cream place near work and got a sundae shaped like a puppy, which was INCREDIBLE. And I still had over an hour, so I decided to start walking towards his work, so he wouldn't have to go out of his way as much to pick me up.
Well. It turns out, he actually got off work at five. And he was out looking for me, and calling me, but my phone had no signal where I was walking so it never rang. It was about 5:45, and I was almost at his work when my phone finally rang, and he was FREAKING OUT because he couldn't find me, and had already gone home. He went in my work and searched the place for me. Oy. But yeah. Since he had gone home, I just called my mom and she gave me a ride home. Crazy fucking situation.
I had a cherry danish.
And decaf black-vanilla organic tea.
Not at the same time.
But I still loved them.
2am
Yet another fight with my mom. I'm going to Cameron's tomorrow to escape and hopefully find enough comfort to smile again. Hopefully I can peep hang with Niki on Friday too. Return her precious NANA, which I finished tonight, and bring those presents.
I've decided against the goats' milk. I have to save up to get out of here as soon as is humanly possible. And I don't want to give Cameron more stress by taking me to pick it up every week. He'll have enough to deal with when he moves back in with his parents. And now they don't "support his entrepreneurship" because they want school to be his main focus.
I am so fucking sick and tired of them trying to tell him that he can only do one thing at a time. He can do PLENTY of things at one time with no stress as long as they leave him the fuck alone. He's had a job while going to school for YEARS even while putting up with their shit all the time. His parents are such a glass ceiling, but they think that all he accomplishes should be accredited to them. What a load of bullshit. They only thing they've done is made him sick and unhappy. The things they consider his accomplishments were just his way of trying to shut them up, or just get the hell out of the house. All that family does is try to outdo and impress each other. All Cameron wants is to make them care about him like parents are supposed to. They treat their children like trophy-wives.
I still don't know how to teach him to be happy. I haven't quite figured it out myself.
