Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons...

God, I'm so behind on my flist it's not even funny. >_< I just... haven't really been on the computer all that much, to be honest, and there was Anime North over the weekend, so... yeah.

Anime North was fun. I spent entirely too much money, really, but it was less than I'd allowed for, so I guess that's fine. Now... as long as they let me bring back my smutty doujin and manga, I'll be all set. ^_^;;;; I also got a super cute Fruits Basket bag, some Pocky, posters, and a small Ed plushie. <3 Unfortunately, I didn't find anything Hikaru no Go with the exception of some doujin. Meh. And I totally forgot to look for Prince of Tennis, Phoenix Wright, and Kingdom Hearts. FAIL. Honestly? Most of what I ended up with was FMA, which doesn't really surprise me. That's probably the most common out of my fandoms. ^_^ Besides, I figure that I can order stuff online for Hikago, if I really felt the need to.

I'm really trying not to think about the fact that I have to leave in two days. Where did all the time go? And I really, really don't want to have to go back to work on Saturday. Can I just... not go? XD ...yeah, didn't think so. XDDD

I honestly don't know how much I'm going to be on the computer before I leave- but at the very least, when I get back I'll be able to catch up on my flist and everything. For right now, I need to get in the shower and then figure out something to eat, now that it's 4pm. Meh.

In the meantime, so this entry isn't completely boring and pointless... here you go. Akichan and I went to go see the AMV contest- at least part of it anyway- and my favorite out of the ones we saw ended up winning "Best of Show." ^_^ Come on, you know you want to: Ouran High School Never Ends~

I'm going back to bed in a few minutes, but I just had to post this: people who did direct deposit on their tax returns (read: ME ^_^) will get their Stimulus checks by the end of May. Kelly told me it was on the news, and I went to go look it up- sure enough, here it is right from the horses' mouth. According to this, the money will be in my bank account by May 9. Which means, for those not keeping track, that I can give my mother this for her car and THERE WILL BE A MINIMUM OF BITCHING. *cheers* Oh man, I'm so glad now that I did the direct deposit, honestly. Otherwise it would've been... the end of June before they even sent out the check. This way? I'll have the money to her before her registration runs out, and will prevent war in my house. It still sucks to lose the money- I could seriously use that as a cushion for my trip- but it will keep the peace, and I won't miss it if I don't have it in the first place, so there you go. I never thought I'd have reason to actually thank the current administration, but seriously, THANK YOU. This is a lifesaver, honestly. <333

Oh, I found my debit card and my ID. I had left them at work, because I'm clearly a moron. ^_^;;;;;;;;;

I purchased the bus ticket today, which should be arriving in the mail in the next few weeks. So now I just need to be GOOD and not spend any more money than necessary to maximize the amount I'll be able to bring with me on my trip. Do I want to spend all of it? No, of course not. But as it is, I'll need a good chunk JUST for Anime North- hotel and tickets and whatnot. I'll just have to save up as much as I can before I go... and be as careful as possible while I'm up there. Nothing overly stupid either before the trip or while I'm there. XD

I've also lost three of the six pounds I gained when I started eating like crap again, so I'm back at my official "starting weight". Hopefully it'll just be downhill from here. ^_^

Work was better last night. Mary was bitchy all day to me again, but didn't actually say anything to me- however, I just kept talking to her like normal, and by the end of the night she seemed okay with me again. Whatever. The thing is, to me? I can't stand her as a coworker, honestly, however... I still have to work with her, you know? So I figure that I just need to try to get along with everybody as much as I can. I guess it's a good thing that I can get along with just about anybody, even if it's just on the surface and I actually hate their guts.

....and now that I've been screwing around and it's almost 10am, I really need to go back to bed. XD Night all!
