The Usual.

Hurray for new blog layout and header! Everybody dance!

...can you guess what my favorite colours are? 

So I got a haircut on Thursday with two of my friends! Yay!

I didn't really do anything drastic, pretty much re-styled my hair into what it was in Japan. So at the place where we were getting out hair cut... when they're pretty much done cutting, they wash your hair. I'm pretty sure my stylist went for a smoke break during that time because when I went back to get my hair dried/styled, I smelled cigarette smoke. Gah. 

Oh, before that, we went to a Japanese restaurant with ACTUAL Japanese people working in it! Aaaaand, we had PURIN! That stuff is awesome. I've been wanting purin since watching My Boss My Hero. I can see why Makio likes it so much. 

Anyway, yeah my hair is all light and layered now. When I got home that night, I asked my mom if she liked my new haircut and she goes, "huh... it looks the same". I suppose that's a good thing to say since I DID want it to look similar to how I had it before. What's strange is today, she saw my hair and what's like, "oh, it's nice!"... Okay. 

So I wanted to start my fourth drama about... 2 days ago. I watched the first episode andright after spazzed to my friend, who was also watching it. Then, she told me to hold off on that drama until the 12th because she has a music history exam. She wants to watch it with me once she's done. Sooo, I have now resorted to catching up/finishing D. Gray-man. I am currently at episode 62/103. In the past 2 days, I've already watched 10 episodes. I think I'll be done sometime next week. 

I didn't do much last night besides watch anime and... work on my resume. Before I discovered the wonderfulness of Adobe programs, I had my resume on template via microsoft works. I tried working and editing on that template, but it was way too frustrating. I mentioned this to my friend who later suggested using Indesign. Due to force of habit, I sketched out some layouts and did a little research on resumes... I finally started using Indesign at midnight and finished around 5AM. I had to make sure everything was aligned, that the spaces in between each heading and each statement were uniform. Check for typos.... yeah. It made me nostalgic of yearbook class again... This might sound totally strange, but I don't want to shoot my computer yet. I was actually thinking of doing some homework today. I... actually enjoyed staring at my computer, making a grid and producing a layout based on that grid. I know, I know. 

Surprisingly, I didn't wake up 3 or 4... I woke up at 1. Yes, I know it's still in the afternoon, but considering that I went to sleep around 5:30-6AM, I'd say that was pretty good. 

Not much planned today... I'll probably watch even more anime and try to get some work done. Well, I'm actually in the mood to draw, which is good. I'm planning to send a drawing to my penpal just need to know what she wants me to draw for her. That, and... I need to get drawing/sketching for Anime North.  Pre-registration's in a month. Cosplay. Selling. Oh. My. Gawd.  I just internally spazzed out of excitement.

The End. 

Wha-wha-what?

...I'm due for an update.

So this morning (yes, I woke up in the morning!), I went driving with my dad! Wow, two shocking statements in a row. I'm on a roll.  How about a couple more. I think my dad isn't scared of my driving anymore AND he said we can go driving again tomorrow if the weather is good. Okay, I'll stop there, your brains might explode. 

What else have I been doing? Well, as of last night, I have completed 3 series of dramas and I'm planning to start a 4th one later on. Hm... I think my Japanese is getting better. I'm really thinking of teaching myself... there isn't really much I'm doing at home anyway. I have the textbook and my wonderful DS teaching me. PLUS my excessive drama-watching is sure to help. I was also planning to re-teach myself guitar. I was going to ask one of my friends... but I'm kind of afraid of becoming his rebound... something. 

Also... I need to get a job. I'm really starting to feel the effects of this strike. Well, I really shouldn't because as of today–if the strike didn't interrupt the semester–I would officially be on Christmas vacation. Anyway, I feel more drained than usual. I'm basically sleeping and not doing much when I'm awake. My mom's starting to get worried. I recall her saying, "get a job, go out more... you're going to get depressed staying at home all the time".

Well, I'm going out tomorrow with 2 very good friend. Can I call them best friends? Yes, I think I will. I think they're the only two people that I have remained close with AFTER high school. The others well... let's just say they're preoccupied with other things... or other people. But yeah, we're going downtown tomorrow to get a haircut and to celebrate one of our friend's completion of exams. I'm not quite sure how I want my hair cut though... I'm thinking I might get it cut the same way I did in Japan. I still want my hair to be long (I have no idea why)... so I suppose I'll just get it styled?  I also want to dye my hair maybe after the weekend. I'm leaning towards dark purple. For the past year, it was either reddish brown or blue-black. I'll have to bleach my hair to make the colour stand out. My hair hasn't been damaged in a while, so I suppose I'm due. 

Alright, so I'll try to find something productive to do for 10 minutes before I resort to starting a new drama. 

The End.
