Sailor Soldier of Love and Justice

Yesterday went to laura's. Her family moved to a new house surprisingly close to brentwood. I thought I was going out of my way to pick up tara but she practically lives next door.

Laura seemed to like her christmas gift. I bought her a goat. Of course, how could anyone not love a goat? It would be impossible.

I finally got laura to see host club, which is a most fantastic show. All who have not seen it should watch it.

We also watched yakitate because tara had not seen it. Now I crave fresh baked bread.

There is a tiny dog on my feet right now. She's being very annoying today.

Noname woke me up at 6:30 this morning. That is totally unacceptable.

At least that meant I was able to get to in-person absentee voting reasonably early. Ben and I only had to wait about 90 minutes to vote. Not too bad, considering I heard it was 3-4 hours in Arlington county.

I was delighted to learn that virginia is switching to paper voting. We got to use the new paper voting machines today. You fill out a paper ballot (like a scantron form), then put it in a machine that double checks you only voted for one candidate for each section, counts your votes, and then stores the ballot away in a locked box if needed for a later re-count.

After voting, Ben was a little hungry and cranky. We grabbed some lunch nearby which completely cured his mood. Then we went home and took a nap. I missed pottery lab, but that's ok because I REALLY needed the sleep.

When I woke up, I played a bit more of The Dog Island. I managed to bring the doctor to my house, but he can't cure my brother without a special flower. So now I'm training to become a master sniffer in order to find the flower.

Once I needed a break from that, I watched a few eps of something called Kuroshitsuji. It's about a demon butler and is mildly amusing. The butler likes to say, "あくまで執事ですから."

Not sure what I'd like to do now. I'm tired from all that sewing lately and just want to relax. Ben is watching the west wing which is ok as background sound, but I don't like enough to actually sit down and watch. Maybe I'll go to bed early.

For those that watch Shugo Chara, ep 33 is most excellent.

Tae kwon do class was bad this morning. I was having a hard time doing anything right. The belt test is on the 20th but I don't think I'm ready for it. Missing a class for disney won't help that either.

I came home sad and angry. I feel bad because I took it out on my dog. While walking her, I kept yelling at her. Poor baby.

The dog walker came that afternoon, and I was a ditzy spaz trying to remember everything. I should have prepared better during the week.

Afterwards, ben and I went to the comic book store. Then we got smoothies.

When we got home, we watched noein. I ordered disney tickets too. 11 days away? It can't come soon enough.

I feel like I've fallen behind on my life. :P ( I ramble a bit )

Today ben and I went to see Ratatouille. It was very cute and funny. I think it's my favorite pixar film so far. (Or maybe just right now.)

Afterwards we went out to la madelines. The movie made me so hungry!

Since we were in the area, we also stopped at the bookstore. I got the next volume of kitchen princess. It is very goofy.

When we got home I watched some cartoons and then took a nap, sorta. I didn't really sleep because I was busy worrying about stuff. Ben cheered me up though. I guess I should try going back to sleep again.

Frozen and Freezen are terrible evil names.

My cake got weird overnight, leaking some sort of clear syrup. It still looked fine though, so I carefully transfered the cake to another tray and tried not to worry.

I brought it to anime club where it seemed to go over well, so I guess that syrup wasn't too important. The only problem was the syrup that couldn't escape from the cake. It made the two layers a bit unstable. They started to slide apart by the end of the afternoon.

I completely lack willpower, so I ended up watching host club rather than escaflowne. I really only want to see the end of escaflowne anyway.

After a few hours of unsuccessful socializing and elite beat agents, I headed home. Well, first I stopped at the food store because we were out of rice and rice milk. But then I went home.

Roleplaying started soon after that. I'm playing an elephant-person drummer in a band. Unfortunately I stayed up too late with that nightmare cake. By 11 I was barely awake. Next week I'm going to take a nap before the game to prevent that.

After the game I fell asleep on the couch. Ben eventually woke me for real bed, but he was still too awake so we read a bit of lost girls first. I wish there was more plot in that story because by book 3 the constant sex is getting really really old.

Eventually we went to bed where I had bathroom nightmares again. I cannot potty in a dirty room with urine on the seat, in a room with someone else there, or in a room that may potentially be filled with bees.

I took my dog for a long walk this morning, which made her very happy. She chased squirrels. Then I made a tasty egg and cheese on a bagel breakfast. Ben is playing phoenix wright now, so maybe I'll play zelda. I like weekends.

[EDIT] Ben is so cute playing phoenix wright. :) He just screamed out, "Von Karma, you're such an ass!!"

This weekend was a lot of me feeling sorry for myself. On saturday, ben took me to the bookstore to try to cheer me up. I was sad all day because he wanted some time alone for a nap and I didn't want to leave. In hindsight, I was the unreasonable one. He was only asking for 20 minutes. He's been really tired lately because the wet carpeting is growing mold and making it difficult for him to breath. It keeps him up all night.

Eventually I gave in and let ben get some much needed sleep. While I waited for him, I watched Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch which is absolutely terrible. There's a bunch of mermaid princesses who sing songs to defeat evil. And then they run around and chase boys, but they can't confess their love or anything because they'll turn to bubbles. I'm betting the pink mermaid's boy is actually a merman or something.

Sunday I was feeling sad again. I woke up and made pancakes for ben and myself. Except ben didn't get up for a few more hours so they went cold and nasty. I ended up throwing them out. Then ben needed to study for his networking exam, so I had to leave him alone. I was a distraction.

I tried to sew a skirt, but everything I do makes it more and more terrible. It's starting to look a little better now, I guess. The lace along the edges helped a bit. Looks like a magical girl skirt, a little. While I sewed, I watched Gargoyles. I really wish they had released the last half of the second season.

( More stuff )

So I've been arguing all day that homosexuality is a sin. It's a pretty tough challenge, considering I believe the opposite. My brain hurts and I don't think I'm at all convincing. It's hard arguing for something you're against.

Anyway, I think I found something to do tomorrow. Some sort of anime picnic shmoozefest thing. I'm supposed to bring food though. That may break the deal. Whether or not I can find something to bring. Though, it would be a good place to unload all those red bean buns I have.

Oh, and Friday needs to end. Now. I'm bored of it.
