Title of a short story I had the pleasure of reading in my Literature of Science Fiction course earlier this quarter.

It’s been a while. I apologize for my on-off blogging. I just can’t seem to drag up enough energy to write new entries as often as I used to. Monthly seems to be doing it for me. I think

So… a few months ago Ryan said he was considering doing a one-month teaching internship thing in China during summer 2010. Last month Ryan told me he’d made his decision and was going. He had put in the application and everything. I was a bit upset, because he made up his mind two weeks before he told me… and didn’t tell me then. He waited. I honestly feel it would have been better to tell me right when he decided to go rather than wait. I mean, the results would have been the same. Me crying a lot. And yes, that did happen… I cried for ages in his arms, I couldn’t stop! The hell is wrong with me…

On the 13^th (five days ago) it was 9 months for us ♥ but because it was Chinese New Year’s Eve we couldn’t go out. So instead, he came over for family dinner with my parents, my douchebag older sister, and myself. I had drawn him a little something, a creation that I like to call Kittyfaces (or Retarded Kittyfaces, depending on what I’ve drawn), and he laughed and laughed because it was so cute but retarded at the same time

We celebrated Valentine’s on the 16^th rather than the 14^th, due to the holidays, but it was fine. After class we went to his house where we exchanged gifts. I got him a cute little octopus plush (inside joke) and a note on which I’d drawn another giant Kittyface X3. He got me a fluffy soft bear Pillow Pet! I love it so much &heart; I’ve named him Ryanbeaw! :3

So about my douchebag sister… well, Wednesday morning we got into a bit of a fistfight. She was demanding a hug from me, as she was flying home to Washington and I wouldn’t see her as I was going to school, but everyone in my family knows I’m not touchy-feely with family members except my mom. I said no three times and she wouldn’t shut up, so she took my phone and said she wouldn’t give it back unless I hugged her. So I kind of lost it, went over and put my knee in her ribs to try and get it back. Long story short, I punched her leg, she pushed me back and was choking me slightly before smacking me in the head.

Yeah, I regret not punching her in her ribs. Or her face. Which hurts more?

School’s been okay. Work’s been okay. Oh, and did I mention I’ve now given up horseback riding? Yes, I have, though I assure everyone it was a difficult choice to make—not that I had a choice.

Total earned from red envelopes: $237. Rawk.

Slow down, life.

Life… it’s been going so fast since my last post that I barely remember it. Meeeh. The only thing I recall is that it rained, so Royce and I ended up cutting our Disneyland date short angry[ we ended riding Space Mountain only, and then we left and had a nice dinner at BJ’s. But as the night ended in cuddles at his house, I would mark it as a wonderful day regardless :]

So that paper that was due today… I didn’t start working on it until last night. At 8PM. Hahahahaha! Never underestimate my gift of procrastination, right? I finished it, and it’s probably not that great, but whatever :W too late! I turned it in already! ebil3

Currently there are family issues raging about. Well, only one, but it’s been going on for a few years now. It’s hopefully getting resolved soon; I don’t want to go into massive details about this issue, but just know that it’s been getting so dramatic lately that I’m just over it. I don’t care anymore. My aunt is stupid, my cousin (her daughter) is stupid, and my cousin-in-law (my cousin’s husband) is stupid. Oh, and why not throw it in: their oldest daughter, who is like 7 or 8, is stupid as well. Sure, she’s just a product of her parents’ teachings, but I can dislike her all I want.

Anyways, on to something more cheerful: Christmas! It’s so close! I’ve already put in a request asking for the 24^th and 25^th off, so hopefully I’ll get those days off to be with Royce and my family. Royce and I have agreed to buy each other clothes for Christmas :Q I think. We might have just been joking about it :3 but I have the perfect gift in mind for him! This awesome tee from—you guessed it—Threadless! It’s perfect! Royce’s favorite animal is the raccoon, and he is a drummer, so you look at it and you try to tell me it’s not the perfect thing for him! That’s right, you can’t! But as you can see, the guys’ sizes are all sold out :[ so I’m really hoping it gets reprinted in time for the holidays.

Speaking of cheerful, Royce’s birthday is at the end of November! I’m contemplating getting him a gift. He didn’t give me anything for my birthday, at my insistence, but he did surprise me with little gifts during the weeks leading up to my birthday :3 I really want to get him something nice, but as usual I’m at a loss what. Aside from paying for food :Q I’m also a bit nervous because my mom might have a fit about me getting him something when he didn’t get me anything, she’s like that :slash

Anyways, Halloween Horror Nights, we’re going in two and a half days! I’m so nervous because I know it’s going to be scary and I’ll be scared shitless! Aaaaah! O: as it turns out, it’ll only be Royce and I; his friends decided not to go with us, but that’s alright! We’re together c: even better, I’m having a riding lesson in the morning! Wow! I’ve not had a lesson since July 1^st; in case you can’t count, that’s three and a half months away from a horse! D: I really hope I remember how to post and stuff :3

On a random note, I got me a new Gameboy Advance SP! Well, it’s used, actually; a co-worker gave it to me. He didn’t want it anymore, selling it wasn’t really working out for him, and so he offered it to me. He also gave me an EFA Linker containing a few ROMs, including some American Idol game and Shining Soul II. The Idol game is pretty good, in a lame way, but SSII has got me! I already have two characters going on, a Wizard named Zexon and a Ninja named Godric. It’s addicting! I would really like the Pokemon games, but they are nowhere to be found now I could download the ROM and replace one of the unplayed games on the Linker, but I tried and it said I didn’t have the proper software drive, or something like that. Damn it :[
