I have finished all of kaleido star! Yay!

I'm a little sad though because that means there's no more. Although, I did read that they were going to make a manga. I hope that happens!

Now I am patiently waiting for ben to get back to his hotel room. We're going to watch heroes together! I love him so much! LOVE!
Last night I dreamed I joined Kaleido Star. When I woke up this morning, all my muscles were sore. So weird!

Maybe they hurt because I was fighting for blankets all night. Ben kept stealing them all. When I tried to pull some blankets back, he'd pull harder. I had to kick him into submission.

Ben has work today. I tried to be productive by planting my peas and spinach. I am highly suspicious of the directions which say to plant the seeds before the last frost. I guess I can always plant more seeds if they die, so it's not really a big deal.

At some point I need to buy more pots for my plants. I was going to buy a new one today but it was more than I wanted to spend for something that small. I'm pretty sure the guy ringing up my stuff was making that price up. I'm going to look around for something cheaper. Maybe I can even try freecycle or something.

I'm thinking some video games for a little bit now.
Did my anime club thing today. Kaleido star has become distressing. The writers don't seem to understand that mean people are not supposed to win. Bah. Also, end of escaflowne? Awful! Double bah!

After club, I stopped at the bookstore rather than go straight home. I looked through the discount books until it was time to pick ben up from work. I was feeling sad (probably because I socialized today) so we stopped for cheer-up smoothies. Ben's smoothie was terrible though.

Ben is roleplaying so I don't really know what to do with myself. I'm thinking I'll go to bed soon. Socializing makes me so so tired.

I don't know, I feel like I failed at today.
Yesterday went to anime club. Am enjoying the new kaleido star season. The new girl is quite creepy though. Someone needs to explain to her that barking at people is not a normal way to express anger. Escaflowne enjoying less, mostly because I am rewatching this series. I decided to watch the handful at the end to refresh myself before I get to the eps I haven't seen.

I didn't plan my schedule right and ended up having only an hour to get to the yarn shop and find what I needed. I got lost on the way there, so around 4:30 I gave up and went home. :(

Spent the rest of the day being a lazy bum. I stayed up too late and actually started to cry. That's when you know it's REALLY time for bed.

Had a nightmare that ben was killed by a falling piece of a plane. And my lower half was chopped off. I was imprisoned by the hospital that built artificial legs for me because they wanted to test their new vat-grown organs and limbs on me. I complained about it on lj and then my friends from high school came to save me. They disguised themselves as doctors to sneak me out. We managed to get out the doors before they noticed us, and then we jumped in the car and drove away.

When I woke up, I had to make sure ben was still alive and I still had my original legs.

Also dreamed I was trying to take a foul-mouthed talking horse for a ride.

Today ben has his driving lesson. I'm going to sit around all day and wish my dog didn't smell so bad. (I gave her a bath last night!)
So yesterday ben took his test. I thought it would be nice and short but it ended up being TWO hours! And I had ben's cell phone, so I couldn't just leave. I ended up playing animal crossing the entire time. Not sure what I'm supposed to be doing in the game, but I do know I suck at whatever it is. I tried fishing and caught nothing. I guess I'll just stick to mugging trees for fruit.

But happy news! Ben passed! Yay! He is certified in servers or something like that!

Then we went home and ate victory crockpot food. And watched kaleido star! They FINALLY did the Legendary Great Maneuver! Yay! It looks like it was pretty hard to do. (I won't say what it is though. Not to spoil, but to make everyone else wait 26 episodes and suffer like I did.)

Afterwards, I played a bit of city of villains. Ben got this huge team together for stuff. One of the guys there was amazed by how tiny nicole was and said she was like a kitten. It made me spaz.

I went to bed early because I had work in the morning. Ben stayed up because it is his weekend. I had nightmares about aliens and the ocean. And then my dog attacked me this morning because she was SO EXCITED that I was FINALLY AWAKE.

I feel so drained today. I wish I could go back to bed.
Today has been a fantastic day. The morning started out fantastic, even though I ended up running late for work. And then on my way to work it was all cool and foggy. Sure, there was stupid amounts of traffic (VA drivers are brain dead.) but the fog was really thick and nifty.

I had a long boring meeting, but there was a cute puppy there. And then I went out for lunch. It was exciting because it's not something I do everyday. I bought lunch for ben too, and brought it home so we could eat together. When I went back to work, I did mostly data entry. It wasn't all that interesting, but it was simple, so that's good.

When I came home, ben and I went shopping and bought VAST amounts of food! Yay food!

Then cassandra came over and is watching kaleidostar with us! Yay!
Wow, where did today go?

I very much enjoyed my mental health day. I rested up. Then I took my dog on a long walk to try to get the blood back in my leg and stop hurting. That helped a little, but not as much as I hoped.

Then ben and I watched more Kaleido Star. It was a new season! Exciting! I watched The Secret of Nimh. Well, the last half of it. But that's ok, because I had seen the first half once before. So now I've seen the whole movie! Yay!

And now I can't believe it's so late now! Wow! But I think I am a lot better than I was this morning. Yay for recovered mental health.
In another adventure of I hate virginia: I was driving in a residential area and there was a dog running on a lawn. I was worried the dog might run into the street, so I slowed down a bit. Guess what? Yup, got honked at. But someone going in the OPPOSITE direction! *cries*

I needed to be comforted when I got home, but ben was asleep and I didn't want to wake him. So I burned anime for jenny instead. Until I ran out of disks. Then I had to order more. I wanted to get 200, but it was cheaper per disk to buy 100 with a coupon. Too bad the coupon couldn't be used twice. That would have been perfect.

Eventually I had to wake ben. He started a new game and I was already starting to get jealous of it. But then he agreed to watch some Kaleido Star with me. That cheered me up a lot. (The fool always entertains me.) I am horribly tempted to get the rest of the series from netflix, but then I'd never go to anime club ever again.

I just accidentally poured a bit of ben's banana orange juice into my regular orange juice. I am a sad melissa now.

I have not made a real update in an insanely long time. I've been stupidly busy this week.

I guess at this point, the best thing to do is start at the beginning and try to do my best.

Let's see. Last weekend I went to Great Falls park with [livejournal.com profile] eunicemcgee. It was a lot of fun! I was glad to get out of the house and do stuff and all was so cool and nifty. I took a bunch of pictures too! :)
Many pictures of the park )

Also this weekend, I had a fabulously decadent morning with ice cream for breakfast. In bed. I think everyone should be brought ice cream in bed for breakfast once in a while.

During the week, Ben finally got me to play World of Warcraft. I made dwarf. Her name looks somewhat like Susan, but not really and I can't remember it off the top of my head. I only just left the first area, so I'm not very strong and my level is pretty low. It's a fun enough game, and would probably play it more if I had more free time.

At work this week, I was given post cards to write. I was given the goal "Make people call and remodel" which is pretty straightforward. But after I wrote the cards, I was told the goal had changed. Now it was "Remodel really big things." That requires a completely different strategy! So I basically had to rewrite everything I wrote. I wasn't bitter about it or anything though. I was trying to look at it like a puzzle to solve. A good mind frame, I think. Though, I'm going to be really glad when these things are done.

Oh yeah, and the sad puppy story. Puppy )

I've since been cracking down hard on my dog's training. I want her to be the most well-behaved dog ever. That way nothing bad can happen to her.

Skipping minor details of the week, we come to this weekend. Ben didn't have game this weekend, so being the wonderful boyfriend that he is, he went with me to anime club. I got to watch more kaleido star. We were the only one's there watching it. ^^; I was really glad ben was there, or I probably would have left. I feel very awkward being the only one doing something.

It turns out though, that I was hanging on ben too much and embarrassing him. I felt so awful about that. I ended up getting all upset about that and a billion other things I hate about myself and Virginia. I ended up crying and it took ben forever to console me. By then, I was so exhausted and dehydrated that I passed out until the evening when I had to take ben to work. Even after I did that, I was exhausted, so I went back to bed and collapsed for the night.

And now I'm up-to-date. That pleases me. I can have breakfast now.
Ben's teeth bled so much last night. I was really worried about him. It has stopped now, which makes me happy. He's not even swollen. Just sad and cranky and sleepy and in pain. Poor boy. I try my best to make him feel better, but there's only so much I can do. It frustrates me by how helpless I am. I start to worry over every little sigh he makes, in case he's in horrible pain or something.

I guess it's a good thing then that I got myself out of the house today. I went to the monthly meeting of NVAA, the local anime club. It wasn't as scary as I feared. A nice person who was parking at the same time I was showed me where the rooms were hidden and introduced me to lots of people. (I don't remember anyone's names. :P) There were a few stereotypical otaku, but most of the people I met were very nice. I am entertained that there was another Melissa there who also loves sailor moon. (Ok, I remembered one name. But it's my name, so I don't think it counts.)

I baked sugar cookies for everyone, which I hope were good enough. By the end of the day there weren't many left, so I think I am safe to assume they weren't terrible.

I watched Kaleido Star, Chrno Crusade, Yakitate!! Japan, and Twin Spica.

My thoughts )

After all of that, I went home because I was worried about ben, and I wanted to make sure he ate something. I discovered that I forgot to set his alarm for him. I felt really bad about that, but it turned out not to be a problem. All of his roleplaying friends were reading harry potter, so most of them didn't feel an urgent need to game.

I fed him and then went to bed because I wasn't feeling well. Then drove through crazy localized weather to take him to work. I should sleep soon so I am well rested for charlie and the chocolate factory tomorrow. Ben promised he would go see it with me. He even announced it was a date. :P Maybe I'll dress up.
