Epinephrine...adrenaline...the only natural drug.  Whatever you might call it...I was on it...ALL day today! I went to Hershey Park today and it was definitely the most fun I've had in awhile, next to the Harry Potter Festival and my weekend in Boston. 

I went on EVERY SINGLE rollercoaster except for the Comet.  My favorite coaster was Rolling Thunder, because it was so quick, intense and it gave me the biggest A-rush of my life (well maybe not because of snowboarding).  Speaking of snowboarding, I got my bindings mounted on them (woot)! The park was really fun besides the roller coasters. I went on a few of the regular rides and ate some funnel cake and dippin dots. Yummo!

The trip back was a little long but I slept most of the way and now I'm home! and so is my Okasan! She was given permission to spend the night at home with us, so I'm excited.  I get to spend some time with her before I leave! :-)
Anyway, I'm really tired and should go to bed, which I probably won't because me and Mom will just be up talking the night away! lol!

Oyasumi!

*sigh* I just got back from Boston yesterday...it was soooo nice to see Varun and Maysoon and spend some time with them outside of Cornell. So these were the highlights of our weekend:

Friday- arrived in Boston at 1:30pm and went to eat at Uno's, where the staff was dressed in Potter attire (really cute and fun!) and had some damn good pizza (gotta love that buttery crust :-)
Then, we went to Varun's room to drop our crap off and met his Italian roomie. 
Harry Potter Festival time arrived! The streets of Harvard Square were closed and were transformed into Diagon Alley- complete with 4 bookstores selling the final book at midnight, restaurants with Potter-themed cuisines and Honeydukes Candy Shop (?). There were also TONS of cosplayers- it was like Otakon: Harry Potter Style.
We went to the main concert which featured Harry and the Potters and Draco and the Malfoys (I like them better), it was rather cute and fun.  At 1am, we definitely waited on a short line (it had severely died down by then) and bought the long-awaited last book. Although I cant read it yet (I am severly behind, 1.5 books to be exact, shame on me), I'm still glad that I got it!

Saturday- we went to the dining hall (not that great lol) and went to their Natural History Museum, which was really interesting and rather fun! Had dinner in Baltucci's, which was really yummy and went to different shops in the square. I spent most of my money on food but I found this anime store and stocked up on Pocky and snacks. I even bought a poster of Kuchiki Byakuya. 
Saturday PM- the highlight of our weekend= THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW!!! It was truly amazing! I must see the one where I live before I return to college. I recommend it to anyone. I dressed up in psedo-punk loli and just had a blast. It was awesome, especialy with Maysoon there reciting the audience participation script lol!

Sunday- we bid our farewells and returned to our oridnary lives... :-(

This weekend was really fun and relaxing. I enjoyed it quite a bit and am glad that I went.  Time to catch up on Harry! lol

Oyasumi! >__<


  I'm just a sweet transvestite from transexual Transylvania!

Looks like I am going to Boston tomorrow...I already knew this but, o well thought I would share.  I really should be asleep so this will be short post.  I'm just soooo excited that I'm going to see Varun and Maysoon and just have a blast.  My sis told me to give up my job search so this gives me time to actually relax. Yea! I still feel like I kind of wasted this period of time though...but I did look for job day in and day out so nobody cant say I didnt try.  My best friend and all his friends are going to Otakon, which I wanted to go to but I didn't have my outfits ready in time. There's always next year and how times can one go to a Harry Potter festival with a free concert??? Sees like a good settlement to me! I shall be a casual-punk-pseudo Loli tomorrow and I will enjoy myself!

Oyasumi

I am FINALLY going to be on a pretty normal sleep schedule after tonight...because I woke up really early today my body is extremely tired at the moment and now I can sleep with more ease and wake up at a decent hour.  
My interview went well today but if I am appointed, I will have to deny the position because I feel guilty and there is no point in me trying to find a job. I will just have to tell EOP the truth- I did not do anything this summer but look for a job without ANY success but I still managed to save the SSE because of my loving and caring sister, who definitely saved my ass! 
I got another job offer so I must wait for them to contact me tomorrow, all I will be doing is laundry anyway.  I'm leaving to Boston on Friday for the Harry Potter festival and other activites.  I can't wait to see my friends and have some fun! Another thing I must do is call Dell about this damn computer screen because it's breaking AGAIN! I also have an awful pain in my foot...its quite debilitating. *sigh*
Maybe some rest will make my life better...so much for some good ol' R & R...I just ended up getting stressed out again over NEW things....omg! What the heck am I going to do???

SLEEEEEEP!

Oyasuminasai!

A blueberry-colored font- perfect for the journey I embarked on last night.  So...I decided- "why not try and bake something, you know, to perfect those lousy cooking skills of yours?" I made....a de-licious blueberry cream cheese pie ;-)  It was soooo good, everyone in my family loved it, even my Okasan- who despises blueberries. My inspiration was the fact that my RHD made one for my dorm this past semester, so I thought I would revist that wonderful day when I had my first taste of real pie and it was a SUCCESS!!! I'm just really proud of myself that I overcame sheer laziness and did something that I normally wouldn't do. 

Tonight I'm actually going to cook a meal for myself as well, normally my sister does this for me, so now I will put myself in her position and see if I can cook well.  I also plan on conducting some research on aspects of Japanese culture and langage that I saw in a film today (can't remember the title).  I have an interview tomorrow with a Japanese restaurant as-a-matter-of-fact. Hopefully it will go well, even though I will not work there very long to begin with (if I am hired) and it would be a dream come true as well! In the event that I do recieve a position, I will work with sooo much dedication that my very temporary stay will not be evident and hopefully, my position will remain for my return in the winter and summer.

I sit here, watching my inspirational show (God definitely put this show on the air as a sign of my true calling in life), On the Lot, and wonder if I can actually be successful in this field of work.  Film has always been a passion of mine, considering it comes up in conversation everyday of my life (my Mom is a HUGE film buff).  I love determining the deeper messages that writers and sometimes, the directors, put in the film and trying to make sense of them.  I just hope that I will be able to that when it comes time for me to direct a film.  I should start practicing now! If only I had a better camera...but at least I have one right?

This semester will definitely be a MUCH better one for me...I'm starting on the right foot, I'm looking forward to all of my classes and now I will actually get to explore what exactly I want to do in life. I know I say I want a career in film now, but look what happened to the girl who was dead set on becoming a veterinarian- she changed her mind like the stereotypical college student she said she was not going to be. Maybe I can combine both interests- become a documentarian for the Discovery or National Geographic Channel. I would get to travel, see animals and carry a 16mm camera around with me! Sounds good to me! I always watch those channels and learn something new and interesting.  That also encompasses my other goals in life: spread knowledge and messages through the use of film.  Awesome! I'm on my way to discovering my dream career. Although, it definitely won't be lucrative, I will still enjoy what I'm doing and I could always have another job on the side. :-)

I was also watching Mad Mad House, which is a reality show about people with alternative lifestyles.  One dude is a vampire! I think that is friggin awesome and I also love how all of them are soooo dedicated to living in a certain way without falling subject to the mundane and ordinary lifestyles of the rest of society.  It made me think...maybe I should alter my lifestyle to make it better! Being that I am very in love with Lolita fashion, I never took the lifestyle into consideration.  Even though I have a pseudo-loli outfit and am still waiting for my Okasan to fork up the $$$, who says you have to dress Lolita immediately in order to behave as one.  I plan on improving my manners and maybe not doing the wild and crazy things that I did last semester.  I won't give up partying altogether, I will just do so in moderation.  I should also try and stop using the obscene amount of profanity that I do- its not lady-like and its not attractive either. I MUST stop biting my nails as well...its a horrible habit and I need to stop my madness...lol!

My hands are getting really tired and there aren't many more thoughts that I want to spill from my head and onto this comptuer screen.

Until next time,

Konban-wa!

 Yummo! BTW, not my pic...but similar! ^__^

Finally, after months of waiting, I got to watch Full Metal Alchemist.
Yeah, so I am behind but at least I'll get to see what all the hype was about.
Now, I am watching Inuyasha, the first *real* anime I ever watched.
I feel like I'm always seeing the same episodes...o well, I dont mind, I love the show too much, I wonder what its like in Japanese...??? hmm...
I played Guitar Hero II todaym even Shanti (my sister) played. I think its finally something that we can bond over...considering the fact that we havent done much of it since Okasan got sick.

Obasan brought a frightening reality to my attention- what if my Mom decides to give up on life soon?
Last night my Mom had an anxiety attack and kept saying how she wanted to be with her Mom (Grandma, who's deceased).  She also said how tired she was of being in her hospital room, which has been about 5 years now. This evening, me and Shanti were talking and she said, "I dont want Mom to still have the will because of us, I want her to be living for herself."
This struck me as true, lets say my Mom, at this moment, God forbid, is thinking, "I cant take it anymore, but if I let go, then my daughters will be alone and wont be able to survive without me."
No doubt, we will be alone, but we would be strong enough to live without her being present. Of course, it would be hard but, why should she have to suffer at our expense. I must try my best to spend as much time with her as possible and actually give her a reason to live.

That is my goal from now on... 

On a lighter note, I must go to Long Island tomorrow afternoon to check out a job opportunity...as a bartender!
Looks like I'll be living the life as one of those chicks in Coyote Ugly...maybe.
I'm sort of nervous, but I have confidence.

Anyway,
There's not much else to say but, I do hope that my Mom/mi madre/okasan will get better soon, I dont want to see her go. I'll be lost...I wouldnt know what to do...

Oyasumi -__-
