☆Here's to the night we felt alive☆

So, I had the most jiggity jive day yesterday ♥ I got a call from my old friend from high school, Olivia. She was like "let's hang out!" and I was like "yes!" and so we did. It was one crazy day. We went to Olive Garden and I had the best soup I've ever had in my life. Ever. I don't remember what it was called but it had a thick creamy cheesy broth and it had chicken and dumplings and carrots in it. I got all emotional and cried as I ate it because it was delicious. The breadsticks were also extremely delicious. We had a lot of trouble finding Olive Garden at first and then we decided we had to follow these people who had a novelty license plate because we couldn't tell what it was supposed to say.

So, after that we took the leftover breadsticks to Gamestop where Olivia works and gave them to her coworkers, who were not very nice or friendly and just kind of stared at me like they were judging me or something. They made me really uncomfortable and they didn't even say hi. But after that we went to Big Lots and looked at everything. I discovered that Olivia has a need to buy something at every store she visits, so she was like "Help me find something to buy, Danie!!!!!" XD we were looking at bras in Big Lots, and she wears a double D cup and I wear an A cup. Everything was B cups and C cups and we were both like "what gives!?" There was this really cute training bra that would have fit me but it was like "YOU CAN'T BUY A TRAINING BRA ARE YOU CRAZY!?" and so we went and played in the furniture section. Then we went to Olivia's house so I could meet her cat and get some games because we decided we needed to go to my house and play Lego Batman. We forgot the games and had to go back after we'd gotten to my house XD on the way to her house to get them, she swerved into this gas station like "OH GOD I NEED AN ARNOLD PALMER!" and she got me hooked on them. It's like... half iced tea, half lemonade, and it's amazing.

So, we got back to my house and played a bunch of games with Brittany like Assassin's Creed and Lost Odyssey. Now, I don't know about anyone else, but I'm in love with Kaim XD he's so... ah. And Jansen. Ahhhhhh! And Olivia ended up staying until almost 10 and then she realized she had to work in the morning. Also, she got a sewing machine so she was all happy about that. She is the most amazing fashion designer I've ever met. She just effortlessly makes these tiny hats and stuff like that, and she said she'd make me one. She amazing at it O: she wants to be a costume designer.

So, I had a lot of fun yesterday. It really made my week. Olivia is one of those really fun slightly crazy people that just makes you glad to be alive. She had this wooden fan that she carried around the whole time and she had a cane in her car and her explanation was "I need a weapon, don't I?" I was so glad to see her. I hadn't seen her since Sparky and Micah's wedding. I love spending time with old friends. It occurs to me that they're the reason I'm me; I was relatively normal and boring when I started high school and everyone I made friends with was all fun and crazy, and they pulled me out of my shell XD thank God for them.

Also, Sammy's birthday was a few days ago, so Brittany and I are going to see her today and bring her gifts of the art variety. Egad, I love that girl XD I can't wait!

So, this week is just wonderful.

And also, I've suddenly become like the world's biggest Haruhi fangirl XD whenever I see something with her on it I'm like "I WANNA BUY THAT!" I just can't stop myself. I also can't stop drawing her X3

I have not been to sleep in TWO DAYS. I'm so tired, but I'm so in tune with the world right now and I don't want to sleep O: I can write amazingly now and all of my senses are super defined. I feel like I have superpowers!

Also, there was this dress at JC Penny for $150, and I got it on sale and guess how much I paid for it? EIGHT DOLLARS. YES. And today I watched the live action movie of Blood: The Last Vampire and... SAYA X ALICE IS OTP FOREVER. ALL ARGUMENTS ARE INVALID.

And finally, here's something I drew:
( woooooo )

And now I need to sleep really badly ;_; I'll update when I've slept and therefore am slightly less obnoxious XD why do I have to have so much energy?

OH, and you know Marilyn Manson and Madonna Wayne Gacy? WELLLLLLLL... I'm Selena Kodaira XD my sister and I decided we needed Marilyn Manson names. Mine comes from Selena as the first (obviously) and Yoshio Kodaira (Japanese serial killer) as the last XD you guys should pick one. Choose a female celebrity icon's name for your first name and the last name of a mass murderer for your last.

So, this weekend I did some major Xmas shopping. I mostly making presents for people this year because it makes me feel way more awesome that people feel special because you took all that time on them! So I bought some stuff for making presents for everybody, plus some manga and such for a few people who need it XD I bought a yaoi manga ("Love Knot") for my friend who is the world's biggest otaku. Yes, bigger than Renge. I totally went crazy on my shopping spree even though I really couldn't afford to XDDDD I had so much fun!

I also bought myself this really cheap ($5) set of two ramen bowls with turquose glaze inside that came in a little basket that I've wanted for a while because they're so pretty (yeah, I get excited over stuff like tableware). And also... I found this for a dollar and had to buy it:
( I challenge you to show me ANYTHING cuter than this! )

We also decorated the tree and made some peppermint meringue cookies and drank egg nog. I had the most fun time getting into the holiday spirit this weekend! And it's been decided that I get to host me and my friends' annual Christmas party again this year, despite my being the worst hostess ever XD So, I'm so pumped! *throws fist in the air*

Also, my sister and I did this TamaHaru RP when Tamaki got shot by a Yakuza boss, and it was so epic. I'm totally going to fic it. You wouldn't even believe how cool it turned out X3

So, the Strawberry Festival was a lot of fun. We ate Chinese food and wandered around getting sunburned. XD I loved spending the day with my family. I got these little soy melting cubes (strawberry scented) to put in my oil burner. They smell so good that I want to eat them, and they were CHEAP! 8D

After the festival, we went to the mall. I know I said I wasn't going to buy anything for a while, but they had... sales ;_; GOOD SALES! I got a pink striped fedora, a cupcake print makeup bag, a sparkly wallet, some multicolored eyeshadow, and a bunch of jewelry for under $10 all together. But then... then I came across these:

( possibly the cutest thing Japan has ever created )
