So I'm not exactly keeping with my New Year's resolutions. Especially in the posting section. So now to recap the last week or so. On Friday, I think, Holly called me to give me her totally awesome news! She's two months pregnant! I'm so happy for her and Will. They are both really happy about it. Holly told me that I needed to get Tiff out here so that Holly could tell her in person. On Holly's orders I arranged with Tiff to have her come out from Tuesday to Friday (today). From then to Tuesday I was mainly been doing what I was doing before, that is to say I was (am) obsessing over the X-Men files I have. I've been reading here and there over the series and the such. It's a little sad, but it's also interesting. M-day needs to be retconned!!! Really, really needs to be. It was evil!!! So, on Tuesday I picked up Luna, then I drove to pick up Tiff in San Jose. It was fun. I think I choked on my drink at least four times on that drive. Luna eventually figured out that making me laugh too hard while I was driving was a bad idea. It was fun. So we hung out with Tiff for a while, went back to Tracy with her, hung out some more, then we went to grad dinner. We had fun. Wednesday we (Tiff and I) finalized our plans to have Will and Holly over for dinner. We went to the store to get what we needed, and then we went home. Holly arrived at 5:45 or so. We talked for a while, then made her nap while we made dinner. Tiff was happy about the news. Will got there while we were cooking. The dogs freaked out (Charlie is totally afraid of Will) and that was oh so fun. Dinner was good. Turkey stir-fry. Yum. We ended up going out to grab desert at the mall. That was good. We hung out there for a while. I came to the conclusion that Will is a scary driver on our way back. Will and Holly lingered for a bit then went home. Tiff and I watched Dracula. It was a good movie, if you ignore the continuity problems. Then it was time for bed. Thursday I had class in the morning. Got home and hung out there for a couple of hours, then went to the mall with Tiff once more. We had an air hockey match. Tiff won 3-2. Tangents. *laughs* We hammered out some more details on the rp in order to be able to finish this arc, or at least get through our opponents. Then we headed to C&J's so I could get the engine light code pulled and the light reset. It's the same code that I've been getting off and on since October. Or maybe even earlier than that. I can't remember. Anyway, then we headed home to make pasta carbonara. It was very good. We watched X-Men 2 and then we traded files before bed. Friday (today) is the day that Tiff is going back. It is a sad day. I was going to go to class this morning but I decided I'd rather continue my very interesting dreams. They were strange and interesting. Now I'm going to grab some food and I should be taking Tiff back. That's it! -Silv Tags: life as it happens

So I got one of my textbooks today. It was my Managerial Accounting book, and we got it used through Amazon (S&H included) for around $20. It was $140-ish used through my school bookstore. It's in perfect condition as far as I can see too. I only flipped through, but it doesn't even look like it's been highlighted or marked in any way. Talk about a steal!!! As it is we spent almost $500 in books this semester, plus over $300 in school fees. *sighs* I hate how expensive it is to go to school, and this is at a jc. On another note, I am currently downloading a lot of anime, and making apple cider. Apple cider is the best thing in the world at this time of night. It'd be even better if it was raining, but California is tricky in it's mood-swing-like weather (in other words it rains one day and is warm and sunny the next). I'm going to watch some anime, and enjoy a pot of apple cider, then I'll hopefully go to bed at a decent hour. My early mornings start next week after all, and I really need to start going to bed at normal hours. -Silv Tags: life as it happens, school

Winter Break is just awesome. I have another week and a half before school starts!!! *tears of joy* It's so nice just being able to sleep, though I do have to say that I'm beginning to run out of things to read. *sighs* I've begun to play WoW again, so that's interesting. I'd love my mage more if she lived longer (go AoEs!!!). The Fury class of EQII is still my favorite class. Being able to take on mobs a few levels higher was just fun. I need to see if I can reborrow The Valykria Chrinicles from Ian. I need to return the rest of his books too, and give both of them their Christmas present (tea) (both referring to Ian and Luna). I'm also playing The Witcher right now, and I've got to say that it is an excellent game. I'm playing it on easy mode of course, because I'm playing for the plot, but it's still very enjoyable. I bought a lot of books over this break. I love getting money for Christmas. My first load was about eight books I think, then yesterday I bought nine more (all manga that I love mind you). I also spent $20 at Bath and Body works buying some odds and ends (because sales rock). I should probably just give in and go buy the bubble bath I was eyeing, and find a replacement for my hand cream (they discontinued the Breathe line, which was my favorite). I got some shirts (five to be exact) at New York and Company. I love their clothes. Which reminds me that I was going to order some jeans from their website (they were sold out in store). I got three sweaters and two dress shirts. All could be worn in the casual business style (I <3 looking good and professional). I totally have a bunch of things to do this week. I'm going to start getting up in the morning, because I'll die next week if I don't start now (I'll be getting up at either 5 or 6 in the morning every week day this semester). I have a ton of classes in town this time (like all but one are in town) so I'll be hanging out at Starbucks a lot again. I love the 11th street Starbucks. I've spent so many hours there since it opened (it was my hang out spot after school in high school (because I lived to far to walk and my parents had to pick me up somewhere)). I totally texted Liz as I was writing my resolutions. I was like, 'Why should I just do it now? I have her number after all.' And my good friend Holly is leaving for Texas on the 11th of this month to begin training for her deployment. She'd been trying to transfer to Will's (her husband) unit for nearly a year I think, and it just wasn't going through because the idoits in her unit (which is based in Texas) just weren't communicating with her. I think it's stupid that she has to ship out with them when she's been trying to transfer for so long. *sighs* I ran into Rachel/Rae at the mall yesterday. She was with Eric and Cat (Kat?). Eric meaning the middle one (as far as heights go). Not big Eric and not little Eric, the other one. *laughs* I hung out with them for a while and we talked quite a bit. Rae had my number now, so hopefully we'll keep in contact better. It's good to see old friends. Now if only Britt would come out already. That slacker still hasn't finished my wolf painting!!! I'm out of things to ramble about. I thought of another resolution: Post at least once a week if not more. It's a good record for me (and my friends). -Silv Tags: friends, gaming, hunters and pirates, life as it happens, school, shopping!

So, like I stated in the subject, Devil May Cry had devoured my soul. Lady and Trish are awesome, and Dante/Nero is one of my newest favorite pairings (added to the very, very long list). I'm actually considering writing a short Dante/Nero fic, because I just don't see enough love for the pairing. And really, I'm someone that goes straight for the het pairings before even thinking about the slash pairings...but the opening fight in DMC4 did me in. I officially ship Dante/Nero. I've managed to collect some DMC icons too. I have lots on my compute (I have thousands of icons saved in my avatar folder), and some on here too. *points at the Lady icon currently in use* I just don't know what to do!!! On another note, I seriously hate school. And I feel stupid because I'm hoping for a C in botany. A C. I should have an A in the cursed class, but now I'm hoping for a C because I treat school too casually and have been skipping too much. *sighs* I have two assignments to turn in tomorrow, and tomorrow and Friday are my last classes before Wednesday's final. I really need to buckle down and study. I really hate myself sometimes. I really wish that for once I'd do everything I want to get done in a day, and not just get one or two things done...I'm going to stop now, because I'm going to make myself even more frustrated than I already am. I know better than to lose my calm, but it seems that my habits do that to me. To switch to something safe and more happy, I'm going over to Will and Holly's on Thursday evening. We're doing an early holiday thing, so we can exchange gifts. I'm going to pick up their present tomorrow on the way home. Costco is the way to go after all. I'm getting them a tea kettle because I said I would almost three months ago (note that I said I'd be getting that for them for Christmas). Holly's been using a saucepan to heat water for tea and the such, and they haven't been able to afford a lot of things that they could use but aren't necessary. They've almost been married a year and a half now...It's amazing because I remember just how adamant Holly was about not dating Will in the first place. *laughs* I cut a picture of them together into a heart shape for one of my scrapbook pages in 8th grade. It was a joke at the time, but now it's kind of like foreshadowing. *laughs again* Good memories. I think I'm going to sign off on that note. I still have some stuff to do tonight. -Silv PS: Space heaters are awesome, it's very nice to be warm, and Tiffany's a loser (for more than one reason).

I totally sent the second joint post's start. As well as a layout for the room it takes place in. I am not an artist, so it's badly drawn. I finished writing the thing on Wednesday, but I took forever to type it up. *sighs* I have been so tired lately. Can't seem to stop sleeping. I must need more exercise. *mutters about her stupid leg* I tore something in my leg a few weeks ago and it's finally starting to get better. Hurts a lot still though, and painkillers don't seem to help. Heat does though, so lots of heating pad use. I should be studying right now. I have a midterm in Botany a week from Monday, and I have accounting due tomorrow. Need to read the chapter we're working through in Botany, as well as the current chapter in Accounting. Oh, tomorrow is a second chapter so I have a two chapter test as well. Joy. At least I like accounting, right? We got our Christmas stuff up. Our new tree looks great. It's fake, but huge and fairly real looking. We got almost all of our ornaments up on it, which used to take two trees. It looks awesome. My mom collects glass ornaments, so it's really beautiful. I can't believe how fast time is going by. Almost Christmas...Almost Thanksgiving, then it's be Christmas right on top of that...And then I'll be starting spring semester. I registered for classes on Friday. I really want to just be done, so I'm taking the last of the classes that I need in spring. All of them. I think I'm at 17 units, 5 days a week. Two night classes. One class in Stockton, the other 4 in Tracy. Thank the gods for that at least. I only have to make that drive twice a week, the rest are in town, about 10 minutes away. I now need to double check the times of my classes to figure out if I'm going to need to go 30 minutes early. The high school is next door to the Tracy campus, on the same access road. Traffic is a nightmare. Damn, my TTh and my F class both start at 8:30. I think I'll be fine if I leave home at 8:10, but you never know. And my Stockton class is from 8-9. I'd forgotten about that. I have to leave by 7. That means I should be getting up at 5. Gods, I am not a morning person. *sobs* On that note, I'm going to go study now. -Silv Tags: hunters and pirates, life as it happens, school

I'm posting this a day late. So there. I made it to the airport and through security just fine. I flew out of gate 43 from SFO to gate F10 MNP (?). Was it just that simple? No, we were diverted because of a thunderstorm and because we were running low on fuel. *nods* We were circling for like 20 minutes and then were diverted to somewher 30 or so minutes away for fuel. *sighs* I was supposed to get in at 6 Central, but no, I got in at 8:30. We boarded at 11:30 PST. We were in that plane for around 6-ish hours. *annoyed* So I made it out of the airport okay, after getting directions, because the place is huge. Huge. I meet up with my Uncle Mike and my cousins and we head out. We stopped at a Walmart on the way to my grandparents so that I could get the basics that you can't take on a plane (I didn't check any luggage). I made it there and my Omi made me a baked pancake (yum) and we all sat down in the porch. My grandpa came out and then we were really all there. We talked for a while as I ate (my first meal of the day at 10 PM), and then my uncle and cousins left. Omi, Grandpa, and I talked for a while before I admitted the fact that I was tired (running on 4 hours of sleep and I didn't sleep on the plane). I settled in and got ready for bed. So that's it for today! -Silv PS: I totally think these things up on the spot... Tags: adventures in minnesota, family, life as it happens, minnesota

I'm at 78%. My mind stopped working after that, so just 2% more to my C. Yay. *sighs* I totally had to redo like 10 sections after my assessment. It knocked me down to 64% and I had to go back up from there. I just need two sections to get to 80%. I did the math. 89/111 is just this side of 80%. Tomorrow morning, before we go to see the Dark Knight I'll do the last two sections. I'll also, hopefully, be reading The DK of GLU's newest chapter tomorrow morning. Maybe later on, we'll see when it's posted. I'm really looking forward to it. I saw Hellboy II: The Golden Army today. Went the the earliest showing with my mom. I liked it. It was nice to be out with her. Krauss was awesome (I think that's how you spell it). And I'm starting to think with the surname being more important than the given name...I've been imersed in manga/anime/fandom for too long. There is no longer any hope for me. I saw Luna today. We hung out for a little over 3 hours. We talked a lot. And we figured out where she was in One Piece. *nods* We must get her caught up so that she's aware of the Water 7/Enies Lobby/Thriller Bark arcs for the rp. She's my sounding board for it. Also, for the rp I've decided to go with the idea that Sandai Kitetsu can give Silver wounds that heal like a normal human's would. It's a demon slayer sword, after all. Unless my information is incorrect...*needs to fact check once more* Anyway, Tiff is being lame and not updating the rp. It's her turn and she's taking longer than I did with the first post (and I had to do setting and a couple of lead-ins for potential plot development!). *annoyed* I hope she reads this so that she'll tell me when she's going to get it up!!! She's been evasive and it's annoying me more than if she'd just say that she hasn't worked on it yet. I'm going to bed. Early morning tomorrow for school. Joy. -Silv Tags: character: silver hunter, hunters and pirates, life as it happens, school
