Sniffles

    Sitting here alternating between cat napping has been the easiest part of overcoming this stupid flu nonsense that's taken over me. I like to make myself feel better by reminding myself how uncrappy I am that I didn't just not show up to work because of being sick. A lot of people wouldn't give a shit, and probably don't feel it's a big deal.... but I do. ... but I really shouldn't be working. Oh well.

I started watching Attack on Titan on crunchyroll. The theme song always makes me smile because the first time I heard it was on one of PDiddy's cosplay videos. Instantly that memory is triggered and lols.

Today I went home early from work. I'm a little bummed because I also got in my package from ebay, and I can't smell it. I can smell it a little bit, but barely. It's awful. Soon.

But I have been up to a few things. Fun things! ^_^
Including this super cute piece I did for someone.

It's a pea pod! ^_^

They sent me a picture of this children's toy which is a stuffed pea pod that zips up, but one of the peas was outside of the pod. 

They absolutely loved it :D

Earlier this week (I think) I went to see miss Vanna! What was meant to be a chillax day for swimming turned out to be something else that I think helped a lot with me on a bit of a more personal level. I have a lot of pride regarding a certain aspect of myself, and it was addressed, which led me to have a different perspective on things. I am very thankful to have had shared that time with her. But we did go swimming, and we even did the cinnamon challenge-- which I still need to edit... but will be posting on youtube for you. Why? I don't fucking know. I look like shit in it. sigh.

 She ordered us pizza!! It was delish. I've never had pizza with white sauce before. Note taken for future pizza things.

 Obiiiiiii! 

He's a little ball of energy but... 

He also fell asleep in my arm. Cute little cutieface!

 baby steps.

 It started to get a little cooler later in the day so we were pussies and took our sweet time getting in.

 but we did! Yay!

 :D

One of us ended up spitting the cinnamon back out. 

You'll have to wait to see who when I upload the video, lol... 

I ended up leaving her place around 10PMish. 

On my way home I texted Lauren to come over! 

We stayed up late as we normally do when she stays over. I got her into the Netflix series Orange is the New Black and we ended up watching some of it before I called it a night for me. I think she kept watching though, which is awesome. I'm glad she likes it. It's a good show. Very... bizarre kinda. Though I rarely stray away from King of the Hill and Bob's Burgers, I recommend it.

The next day we ran around and did all kinds of stuffs. Went to get coffee, then to I think the Sherman Oaks galleria. We went specifically in search of Bath and Body Works stuff. There, Lauren got a crap load of stuff, and I succumbed to getting two more candles. At least now I can say that I'll be good for a while. She got candles too. One of which was the Pumpkin Pecan Waffles. So good!!!

We also went to Sally's Beauty Supply and got hair stuff. I colored Lauren's hair the previous night a shade darker. It was more subtle than she wanted, so we went back to get something darker. And I got something too. I got this purple black stuff for aging hair. I find that color for gray hair is stronger and lasts longer than standard semi-permanents. It's black, and the purple is very faint, which is perfect. Once we headed home we layed towels everywhere and got to work while watching the rest of OiNB.

 We also got Chipotle. 

It was the most awful debate I've had with myself in a while.

We passed it on our way back here and I started whimpering like an idiot.

She asks me what's wrong and I pout out 'chipotle' 

and she goes we can go if you want!

And I go noooo I have food at home we shouldn't

and she goes no let's go!

and I go nooooo we shouldn't

and she pulls a u-turn in the middle of traffic.

NO TURNING BACK NOW.

so.

Chipotle.

The best thing about having dreadlocks is that any concern about hair damage is just not a thing. 40 volume everything? Hell yeah.

Oh. Look at what she got me at a party she was recently at

It's a little Mami Tomoe in a Kyubey suit! ISN'T IT THE CUTEST!?!? Apparently it's an exclusive item to Aniplex and she snatched one up for me! She's so cute, I love her. Lauren, I mean. I love my little Mami too, hehe. She's on my shelf with all my other things.

There are lots of gifts here, which makes it extra special. Some day I'll have to get another shelf, it's getting so full! There's so much Madoka stuff, lol. 3 of which I hand made! ^_^ eee!

Anywho...

We spent the rest of the day finishing up OiNB and chillaxing on the couch. Oh! I also got her to play Penumbra: Black Plague. She started playing it the day before. She came over for a little bit before I headed over to Vanna's, and played some more when I got back. She loves it! 

When I'm better and less contagious she's gonna come over to play more. I'm trying to convince her into getting a Steam account and Netflix, but I think she's in love with my set up. I don't blame her, it is pretty sexy.

I mean... how could you not wanna spend all your time here. Amirite? The cute stickers all over my monitors are just unbearably undeniable. Llamas and cats and pastries and shit. And bunnies. and kitty paws!

lol ok.

Lauren also surprised me with chicken soup while I was at work yesterday. Super shitty day. Someone decided not to come in, plus me being in crappy sick mode was just ugh. But she brightened my day! That girl is always full of surprises. And then when I got home I checked my email. She told me she had sent me something.

Turns out that while she was at the party, she had the voice actress for Sayaka Miki do a little thing for me to make me feel better! We both know her, her name is Sarah. She's the sweetest chick. But it was such a random and sweet, thoughtful surprise that when I heard it I busted out in joyful squees.

And then she sent me another recording of all of them saying little phrases from the show. Even Kyubey! I'm not savvy enough to put together a sound thing with an image, so just trust me when I say it's cute. :B


Thursday night one of my co-workers was having a birthday thing at his place. I felt bad that I couldn't go to the thingy at the bar the night before. I worked super early both mornings, but another co-worker of mine convinced me into going. That was the day when I really started feeling sick, and once I got home from work pretty much napped until 6ish. Woke up to a text from him and told him I wasn't feeling up to it... he didn't give up that easily lol. He came to get me around 8:45 and we headed over there.

 Birthday boy makes funny faces at me. XD

I wub him. He has such a dry sense of humor

And they played Quidditch beer pong, lol.

We stayed until 10 something, but since I was so awake from sleeping we went to Denny's for some late dinner.

He wore a puppy shirt.

He reminds me a lot of Broken Sword. from Hero. The movie. 

I always tease him about looking Asian. because he kinda does. I dunno HE'S SOMETHING.

He says he's some Philippino and white or something. No one knows.

Whatever. He's Broken Sword. 

Fucking love that movie. 

Today once I got home I made myself chicken soup and tea, and drank a shit ton of water. Started to feel a little better and then washed the windows of my car and cleaned up around the apartment. That apparently was a no no because I started getting a yucky headache and had to lay down. At which point I fell asleep and woke up even more congested again. Waaaah, when will this end!? 

Now I'm drinking mint tea. Steeped extra strong. I can't even taste it lol. It's just minty. 

Boo to working tomorrow. But hooray to a short shift!

and chinese leftovers!!! ^_^
