IT IS ABNORMALLY COLD FOR SEPTEMBER. At least, for the next few days. It's only 60°F/15.5°C right now. I'm enjoying it though; I love jacket-like weather, and I can't wait for autumn to officially roll in.

Mainly, I'm making this post to babble about my vacation next month. Ahhhh.

I AM FIVE HUNDRED TIMES MORE EXCITED THAN I WAS BEFORE.

It doesn't help that a co-worker used to live there, and she's excited for us as well. She said she'd come visit us every year if we moved up there aklsdjfhu Not to mention the list of stuff she's telling us we MUST do while we're there. I'm not complaining. I'm prepared to not sleep for a week :D

But anyway. We had to push our flights back to Monday rather than Saturday due to some time constraints with Jodi and her fiance's trip to Blizzcon(?). Apparently, she didn't realize it was near the same time until he started talking to her about it. So, they'd have been leaving when we'd been arriving, and that would have been a huge mess alksjfu We decided to fly in later on Monday (after they got back some time in the morning on that same day) so we wouldn't be stranded/have to spend a few nights in a hotel/look like complete and utter tourists. HAHAHA. At least we hadn't bought our tickets when she'd brought it up! But we're going to buy them tomorrow, and. AHHHHH. It'll be so nice to see Jodi and meet her fiance! Plus, spend some time away from this hellhole. Enough my sister will want to move because I could be a gypsy since I love traveling and going new places more than I should.

Right, uh. Have I forgotten anything else? laksdjfau I don't know. I'm in such a good mood right now, I have no idea what to do with myself.

...get ready for work, I guess. But that just makes me wonder if work tonight is going to be AWFUL considering how nice a day it's been already .__.

It's been a while, I guess. I'm so used to having Plurk as a convenience that it's slightly strange to update things here in word form. I suppose I will make a list; it's easier to read.

» Everything with my mother is FINE. It was just some sort of scar tissue rather than the big 'C', so there's that relief. She's back to her normal self, though I don't think that's any sort of consolation.

» I GOT ALL MY HAIR CUT OFF!

» stopping's visit was good. It was nice to see her again. We did tons of things, and I was sad to see her go.

» My next vacation (with my sister) is planned in October to go visit a really good friend of mine who moved to Seattle, WA recently ♥ All she has is her fiancé to talk to, and no girlfriends! :( So, we're going to keep her company for a whole week. I'm pretty excited about going there and hanging out and just. Not worrying about being here for a while.

» Lots and lots and lots of different things happening in my life right now. Some good, some bad. I'm still kind of confused about some, but we'll see what happens!

» I closed a HUGE chapter in my life. I don't really want to go into details, but I hope it does me good. I wish I could stop being so nice to people. All I want is a little peace of mind.

» Oh. Yeah. My youngest sister (the one who's been married, divorced, and faked a pregnancy) is officially pregnant this time. She's three months along and living with the supposed father. That's all I have to say about that.

That's the majority of my life thus far. I miss a lot of people I used to talk to on a daily basis and even some I didn't. Working and trying to survive with a bit of fun mixed in is a complicated mess. Ah well.

Oh, and for those who are a fan of Rob Thurman— She was in a terrible car accident several days ago and is still recovering in ICU. Updates have been daily on her blog. I hope she gets well soon! :(

It's been a long time since I've actually sat down and written out my thoughts, but they're kind of a jumble these days. Still using Plurk a little too much, but that can't be helped as it's easy to write a sentence or two rather than paragraphs of feeling. Um, so.

( Mostly, I have been thinking about my mother recently. )

So, I've been in a daze because of that and probably not in the right mindset for a lot of things lately. Work's been a drag. They've pushed me back to working so late that there's absolutely nothing to do once the department is closed, so I just...sit around for about an hour. (Not that I'm complaining since I'm still getting paid for it.) And life is generally blah at the moment.

Next week, my sister and I are taking my cousin and her friend to see a concert. Tickets paid for almost three/four weeks ago. At least that's something to look forward to outside of work. stopping will be here in 35 days. I need this so badly, I feel like I'm going crazy.

Distracting self with writing (Katie and I are doing BB*SS's August issue prompt thing, and I think it's going to be really, really fun) and reading (reread of Ginn Hale's Lord of the White Hell).

Need to typeset Vassalord chapters and maybe think of a post for Cherry. Get him around some more. I wish I felt more like RP these days, but things have just been an insane roller coaster. Which, of course, has made me distant lately.

I'm feeling a bit at a crossroad these days and spending the majority of my time going ????????? and not necessarily feeling much of anything. Not sure, exactly, what it is though. I think I'm restless. Very restless with everything. Need to move, need to change scenery, need to do things differently. I'm 24 and stuck in a rut.

Seeing stopping will probably help. But that's not for another 53 days and some odd minutes and seconds. I wonder where I'll be then.

Still currently immersed in replaying FF:VII and watching Tiger&Bunny. I do have a sudden soft spot for Sekai ichi Hatsukoi. There's one episode (I think) left, and I need to get into reading the manga. As well as attempt reading some of the novel. A lot of the stories are a lot more... Well, I'm not really sure how to describe it in comparison to Junjou Romantica. Too many situations that hit too close to home.

Right, um. This post is kind of pointless, I guess. And monotone.

Just going with it these days, I guess. Hm.

Oops. I missed this by a little. But I've been kind of annoyingly sick the past five days (thanks to my sister), so I'm still a little out of it. If anyone actually wants to read the first part of this LONG meme [ day 01 ], I will link them. Just let me know, yeah?

day 02 – your first love.
( + )

I guess that helped to shape who I've become as a person. Now, I'm otherwise involved and happy. And that's...all I really have to say about that.

Hello, dreamwidth. This is my first actual post on this thing (those reading from LJ, well). Too many issues with that site right now (it's so annoying not to be able to read my flist without being given error signs). I managed to switch all my entries over here just in case something happened. 5+ years of memories and being a dork--I don't want those to disappear. :(

So, lots of things have happened:


( In which Dai has IRL friends. )


My sister was excited too! And now, for our other vacation in October, we're planning to fly up there and see her. And meet her boyfriend! I'm really excited. He sounds like a nice guy and treats her the way she deserves to be treated. Especially after all the things that have happened. I am so happy for her.

Strange thing is, she's convinced we'll like it so much we'll want to move. And if my sister likes it that much, we probably will. I need to get out of here. I can hardly stand it anymore. Sure, I like the familiarity, but I don't want to rot in this state and become like my mother. I'm young. I should be out exploring life and having fun. Blah, blah, blah. We'll see.

Also. I've been in a creative slump lately, so it's really hard to get absolutely anything done right now. I want to write. I have things to write. But we'll see where that goes and how long it'll take me to get out of this stupid rut.

...there are things I want to say, lots of thoughts in my head, but I don't know where to start or how I should go about talking about them. Because it'll just be stupid in the end, like it was before. Frustrated tonight.

I definitely need to get my tarot cards.
