comic con 07 - nerds unite!

comic con this weekend was fun! really exhausting though! i woke up at 5 am friday morning and couldn't go back to sleep... just excited i guess. then my boyfriend picked me up at 8 and we went down to san diego (half an hour away), parked (friggin $10 to park!!), got our badges (pre-registered baby!), walked and got breakfast from a little corner cafe, then went back a little after it had opened at 10 and the line went away. saw lots of neat stuff and got good free stuff. saw my friend caitlin at the FUNimation booth (she does winrey's voice in FMA), and some other people, like the guy who plays goku from DBZ. he was funny, lol..

here are some pictures:

my bf (on the right) with a few of the people from red vs. blue! he also bought the season 4 dvd and got it signed. and we both bought buttons..
and at a different booth i bought the necklaces from nana <3 the lock and key couple ones.. aww :giggle:

right after we went to a local japanese place for lunch/dinner (i swear we aren't otaku lol) and then had to rush over to a beach birthday party before traffic got bad (which it did) especially since we got a little lost getting out of the city area.. lame. and then the next day i had to go to a wedding up in LA.. i was soo tired >< from walking for 6 hours at the con.. ahh!
then sunday was fun. went to a different japanese place for lunch (lol) then played the wii (that big brain academy one where you actually have to think!) at a friend's house for several hours and then baked cookies and watched nacho libre.. nothing like some mindless american humor after you've fried your brain on japanese thinking games >< ugh. lol... only the japanese would make a game of school! jeez. :ohnoes:

barbies are robots now // i'm still 5

i was so shocked going into toys r us today... THEY HAVE TALKING BARBIE DOLLS NOW!!!! like the mouth actually moves when she talks. omfg, why not me? actually it was pretty freaking scary. and not to sound like a pervert but i really couldn't have one because i would always be tempted to put things in it's little mouth.....while it's talking. i know, i'm terible. [of course, i already know i'm imature... now you do too. horray for you!]

i almost bought a tamagachi lanyard.... to put my phone and keys on. yes phone. that's what the cool kids [in japan] do. it was pretty sweet. it came with a little phone charm thingie too... but i managed to walk out with my $6.99+ still in hand. go me.
but that doesn't mean much since an hour before that i blew $3 on a happy meal at mcdonald's...all to get the hello kitty toy.
so i rest my case. i'm not almost 20, i'm almost 5... and i want a talking barbie for my birthday.
jk i want this for reals tho. collectors editon = $$ later.

i suddenly find myself lacking in money

well i've hit a slight road bump in my billionare plan... because i bought my first car today!!
it's a '96 jeep cherokee 4x4! and while i was able to pay for the whole thing upfront ($3500), i will have to make a lot of repairs and replace things... AND i need to buy insurance. so there's another grand or so to spend..

can't even drive it [very far] yet because the breaks need repare, so yeah... i like it though! :)

gonna be tough paying for all this without that job though.
help me out! visit my shop and buy something! i'd reeeeeeally appreciate it!

violent sneezing, jobs and jeeps

today i sneezed so hard that i hit my face/hand on a chair. don't ask how. i really don't know, but i covered my face with my hand, so my finger took most of the blow. :( ...i don't think i have alergies?

i don't know why i'm applying for my summer job half way through summer...poor planning on my part. applying at a local beauty supply place and the grocery store. mostly because the ice cream places were already done hiring. so we'll see where i end up. since i'm starting college again in the fall.

the plan is:

  • take more art classes, graphic and web design classes, and some business and marketing classes
  • then use the skillz i aquire from those to further my online selling prowess on cafepress.com ...and whatever else i come up with.
  • and eventually rule the world and/or become a billionare
yep, i think it'll work out... >:D bwahahaha

also, going to look at a car for me today!!!!! actually it's a jeep cherokee. i'm so excited!! i like the idea of a jeep because then i can put my surfboards on top and go to the beach! so i'm really hoping it'll work out!
