Into the unknown

I ended up riding my bike a lot this weekend! Eight miles yesterday, and another 12 today. I'm quite proud of myself for getting back into the groove of things and taking advantage of the nice weather we've been having.

I went to LotP today, after [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] and I finished cleaning the office and played a bit of The Bouncer, and ordered some new shoes to wear to work. I'm very excited to get them, as they're fricking adorable.

I went to look at cars yesterday with [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], since I need a new one desperately. xD We ended up spending about three hours at one dealership, because the guy helping us was totally smarmy and couldn't understand the words "I'm just looking, thanks."

I don't really think there's anything else pressing going on right now. Just work and school, pretty much. Although, I'll be really happy once the semester is over. Work can stop being a bitch any time, now.

I definitely don't feel like I should be up this early on a Saturday. xD Well, it's not THAT early... but early for me. I use my weekends to sleep in, damn it!

However, I have too much to do today, and I don't know how I'll find the time to do all of it. On the agenda today, is :

-Packing
-Looking at a possible storage unit
-Taking Doodles to the vet
-Finishing up shopping (for the most part)
-Going to the Duke and watching Bob and his stupid band
-Maybe a trip to Goodwill to drop off all of the clothes and stuff we're getting rid of

Anyway, I saw The Princess and the Frog last night. Omfg it was so cute. xD I hate everything that Disney's done in the last few years, but I love their fairy tale movies. I think this and Enchanted have been the only two movies I've enjoyed in a long time. I think I'm in the minority, but I hate Pixar. :| As a result, I try to avoid all of their movies if I can. But yeah, I enjoyed it a lot last night. The theater was completely empty except for a few other girls and me. It sounds like [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] and I are going to see it sometime next week, as well.

I also checked to see if my grades for the semester had been posted yet. They were. All A's, baby! Well, except for the science class I withdrew from. xD I haven't had a 4.0 in forever. I'm still pretty psyched about that.

Ugh. Okay. Time to get dressed and start moving some of these boxes over to my parent's place, before I go meet that lady to look at the storage unit.

EDIT:

Oh yeah! Here's my letter to Santa, before I forget.

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! In May I signed my organ donor card (28 points). Last Thursday I donated bone marrow to sorcererhuntres in a life-saving procedure (300 points). Last Wednesday I helped kazeoto across the street (6 points). Last Sunday I punched jamochalicious in the arm (-10 points). In September I gave ras_algethi a life-saving blood transfusion (50 points). Overall, I've been nice (374 points). For Christmas I deserve an XBox 360! Sincerely, jupiterhalo

Write your letter to Santa! Enter your LJ username:

Man. I want a 360 for Christmas. xD

I am so happy right now.

In other news, shopping was fun! I found some pants for about $7.00, six pairs of socks for about $3.00, and the latest NANA manga. :D Dinner was delicious, and it was all around a good day!

I should really start studying for my Art History test on Tuesday... man. I don't want to, though. I'll do it later.

I think it's sad that I just got paid yesterday and I already have no money left over. Of course, my C/C payment is due before we get paid again, so I had to take care of that with this paycheck. Otherwise, I would have had plenty left over.

Hmmm. I think I'll find something to do.

Dear [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com],
I don't really know how to tell you this, but I dislike you.
I think I realized it when your dog ran amok in your camping car and I saw you sit at my best friend.
I'm sure you're ashamed enough to understand that Extreme Home Makeover sucks .
I'm returning your ring to you, but I'll keep your photo as a memory.
You should also know that I will tell the authorities about a new life as a clone .
Go burn,

( The how-to! )

So, in other news, I actually spent a day with my sister! And it was fun. :o I may end up being her date to a wedding... We spent a lot of the day at Centerra, and ended up watching Lars and the Real Girl. SUCH a good movie. Ryan Gosling is so cute~ <3

At Centerra, I bought the Anime Legends collection of Cowboy Bebop (for only $40!) and some books (including World War Z).

And I was really happy! My Aucifer CD came today! *squees* Besides a few weird songs, I'm really impressed with them. <3 It was totally worth the buy, I think.

And yeah... I have all of these memes I took from [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], but I don't know if I'll post them. xD; I may end up doing it anyway, since I already did half the work.

Whooo, today was so busy. xD

We didn't go to bed until around 3:30 or 4 this morning, and I woke up at 11. However, I didn't get up until around 11:45... heehee, I was being lazy. I took a HOT SHAAR, with unlimited hot water. That was nice. And then it was off to shop!

...Or so we thought. xD Since Liz had gotten paid on Friday, we went to one of the Wells Fargos here in Grand Junction to see if they could cash her check. After we were refused, we went back to the dorm and had Dana, one of Liz's podmates, come with us to another Wells Fargo to get the check cashed in her name. After that, we decided to treat Dana to Starbucks as a way of saying "thank you." But first we needed to get the PT Cruiser gas. The gas station we went to had unleaded at $3.11 a gallon. That's the least expensive price for gas I've seen in quite a long time. xD

Now it was time to shop. First, we went to this Pagan store in Grand Junction called Heart of the Dragon. I looked around and didn't really find anything, but I did find Liz her late birthday present. It was a cool store, and I hadn't been in a store like that in such a long time. ^_^

After that, we hit the mall. We stopped in soooo many different stores, including: Bath and Body Works, FYE, Hot Topic, this junior clothing store called DEB, and Jo-Ann's, where we picked up material for comfort blankets. I bought some more chapstick when we were at Bath and Body Works... they were having this sale where they were 3 for $15. I broke down and bought 3, since I always seem to lose them. xD At FYE I found a "Gundam SEED" DVD that I'd been looking for forever, and it was only $15 as well~!

After we finished at the mall, we went over to Best Buy. There were a few things I wanted to get there... but their anime section is so much smaller than the one in Fort Collins. I figured that if I wanted anything, I should probably just wait until I got home to go looking. Apparently "Peach Girl" has been licensed and has already been released! That kind of shocked me. They also had "X-Men: Evolution" season 3 for sale, as well as the complete "Scrapped Princess" anime. I resisted getting them, though.

Next came Barnes and Noble, but again... they didn't have as much as FoCo. So, I waited. Then after a trip to Michael's and another stop at Border's, we finally finished up and ate dinner at this Mexican restaurant called Panchero's. They make their own tortillas fresh, so that was really good. ^_^ The steak they have was delicious. Then after an ice cream stop at Coldstone, we finally came back to the dorm.

Right when we settled in, Caleb called and we decided to meet for Italian sodas. Eventually, the whole group showed up, and we all hung out. There was this thing called CramJam going on, so we went and got some free food and stuff. :D

Once we had finished eating, this guy named Justin invited us to his dorm room so we could play "Soul Calibur III." It was a lot of fun, but this guy named Cole really pissed me off. He is in the room next to Justin's, and he kind of invited himself in and was watching Liz and me play the game. Since it was my first time, I was just kind of button-mashing and seeing what exactly I could do with everything. After a few minutes he was like "You know, what you're doing right now would be illegal in a tournament." It's like "Whoop de doo, I could care less." So I replied "Well, I guess it's good that we aren't in a tournament, isn't it?" ~_~ Just... ugh. He pissed me off for the rest of the night. This one guy named Greg was play-flirting with me, though, so that cheered me up.

Now we're settled back in Liz's dorm, which is where I'm assuming we're going to stay for the rest of the night. All I want is some peace and quiet, since Cole was being a bastard, Gideon is confusing the hell out of me... The plan for tomorrow is to either go see the Monument or Bang's Canyon, then make another trip to Heart of the Dragon with Caleb. After that, Jon and Patrick wanted to hang out for a while, so I'm supposing we're going to do that. Sheesh, people in Grand Junction sure keep you busy.
