okay, ya, it's kinda cheesy...but it'll all make sense later.

Remember that guy that i like, that I called about his birthday gift back in...july? Well, last wed (i believe) i discussed with him it again, and somehow we got onto the topic of the Japan Festival nearby.

It's always been really fun, i go every year. He's never been to it, so we decided that's where we'd go. I think on a good note, there were also a lot of anime club people (ya...i'm treasurer and was incharge of organizing the Japan Festival "trip"). My poor guy didn't know anyone, and stayed with me (hehe, how cute).

he was there from 10:30-around 5ish or a little later. WOW, OVER 6 HOURS! We're pretty close now, whether just friends or not.

Around...2ish i'd say, we lost the group of 7+ and it was just me and him strolling around and looking at different exhibits ect. I obviously bought him lunch, and we either talked, hung out, looked at how expensive everything was and would soon lower prices down around 7:00. I had a lot of fun, and i'm sure he did too.

Cute random moments:
   When i asked him to come, he originally said there was a Renaissance Festival (if you don't know what that is...i feel bad) and that he had to leave at 1:00. Well...at like 12:30 i go, "Don't you have the Ren Fest today?"
    Him: "oh ya...no. I was mistaken, it's next weekend! But i'll have to leave earlier than you guys" (Which is about.... eh 7or 8 ((note: I didn't make it that long, none of us did...))
   me: "why?"
   Him: "tatoo..'
   me: O_o (note, he's not the kind of guy to do that...but i guess he is? haha)
                    --so he ended up staying over 4 hours later!!! <3 

    At lunch i laid my head on his shoulder (i was tired)  and my other guy friend did a heart on us with his hand and was like "how cute" I was like "i'd flick you off, but there are children around." So my 'crush' picked up a book and put it between Robert ('other guy friend) and me and i half flicked him off--i freaked out b/c i don't usually flick people off...i've only done it one other time...and They didn't even see it...*hangs head* So disappointed

   dropped a quarter, and like a good gentleman, he bent down to pick it up, sadly, so did i. So we bent down together (just like in the movies--lol), silent pause, and he stopped and i picked it up.

   He said (since he's going to college next year, damn him) he'd take off a weekend to come back. (my friend thinks it's because of me....i'm not sure. mixed feelings from him...)

   He would ALWAYS try to sit by me. Whether that was just because he really only knows me and i'm the only upper classman (that actually ACTS like an upperclassmen (there was one guy who's a junior too....but he acts like a soph. or freshman....) or he likes me. I went both ways.

   Oh! At the end, he left around 5ish and i half walked him to his car only to realize that i wanted to go buy stuff, but i said "i'll see ya later! Don't forget! My birthday's on Thursday! (which it is...)" but i said it sarcastically because he always gives me gifts for my birthday (note, they weren't on my birthday). So then, around 6:30 I call him back, but he didn't pick up. I then called my mother, only to have him call me back. i said "WOAH, you actually called back!!!" And i just basically said how i had JUST left and he laughed.... 1 hour and 1/2 later...

So anyway, That was my saturday. We never held hands, or anything like that. (which i'm kinda happy)

Oh_---- he's not japanese by the way......... And to know more, just look at my 2nd or 3rd post....

Well, i finally did a slightly romantic one! go me!!! yay

well, off to school, see ya!

Well, as approximately 158 people know... I needed assistance for a job interview.

Thank you to 4 lovely people, melsie, Happybunni21, bittersweet_symphony, and LaBellaMorena, who so kindly gave me advice.

My clothes: I've learned i need to buy slacks. i have NO slacks...especially black ones. I ended up going in a lovely Capri jeans, a black sleeveless Asian front looking shirt (with the V cut) and a white button down shirt that i left unbuttoned. I thought it looked nice....

Anyway, i went there...it took less than 10 minutes.......... he never asked me my strengths and weaknesses, old jobs-whether i liked them or not, how i knew my friend at Price Chopper, my times i could work. Pretty basic, but i was ready. and scared to death.

After that i went home.... today he called me (one day later ^_~) and said "are you still interested in the job?"

me: T_T...no dude, i went yesterday just to mess with my mind. What i actually said: "yes i am"

there's orientation tomorrow at 2.

soooooooooooooooooooooooo

I GOT THE JOB!!! WHOOOO

$7.00 an hour, and they do this thing were you actually get 7:50, but the 50 cents goes into your college fund that you get..when you go to college!! So i thought that was cool ^.^

sounds like a lovely place, go Price Chopper!

so thanks to melsie, Happybunni21, bittersweet_symphony, and LaBellaMorena for all your advice!! And to mommy, who is always there for rme but will never read this >_< (but yay, haha) 

goodness, i am back again. I've been gone a lot lately during this summer.

Well, went to North Dakota and Minnesota for family things, ended up being BETTER than expected. (actually, it was GREAT who'd a thought!?)

My relatives and my family (mother and father) never really got along. We love each other, but i think only because we are family. I barely know my cousins because we always had to drive the 7 Plus hours to their house because they never came down to us. So finally, we said "screw it" and we haven't been up there except for one graduation and my grandmother's funeral 6 years ago. So basically: bad relationship. i tried e-mail, but they never responded back, so i gave up.

But after this trip, we're significantly closer than before (which is next to nothing) and i actually enjoyed myself. We (my 5 other cousins) all hung out during the duration of the Family reunion here and there. I hope to be in contact more, which means.......................i might have to get facebook....*cries in corner* i vowed that i'd NEVER get facebook because as soon as i show up, people move to other places and i'm stuck by myself...again...But we'll see what happens. I'm proud to say that i was only bitten 5 times by those evil mosquitoes, which is significantly better than previous occasions...*goes to cry in corner about past experiences*

OKAY, i'm back. Then we (my aunt, mother, cousin, and i) later went to the Mall of America where i bought....................................nothing. Never made it to the CD store...and i couldn't remember anything i needed anyway.

The next day my mother and I went to St. Cloud State and toured there. Nice place. Later that night my other Aunt and Uncle came over and we all hung out at the house, i played for my aunt and showed her my china pictures. We also went to the famous Sammy's Pizza...which is really good in St. Cloud

Next day: Went to St. Ben's and St. John's (same college, but one's women's and the other is Men's) jez, can you say almost perfect? They dont have an international Business program, which made me sad. but oh well. great orchestra, free paper and laundry and japanese and chinese. We'll see about it. oh...it took 5 hours...the whole tour... 5 HOURS. they shouldn't make it that long, but what can i say..... Anyway, yup...

then we left there and drove over to North Dakota where we hung out with family...had grandma's 80th birthday party. Went GREAT! My parents and I decorated the very white room and it looked AWESOME! Many compliments. I met a younger girl and we hung out the whole time, saw my grandparent's neighbors. Their eldest son...nah, i wont mention him anymore. Love is a dangerous thing. had tons of fun there.

then...we left.....*cries in corner* I wanted to stay longer, but my mom can't always handle long drives, so i drove home with her. we made it in 10 hours, which is better than expected.

So now we're home and yet again, i woke up at 7:00AM but i got to (and am) still talking to my old friend whom i haven't chatted with in... weeks....................but its nice to say hi to him and such.

Anyway: i'm back home! and staying! School starts soon..........so pray for me
