Day 11.5; Saturday, June 27th

Ai-ya! Today was...unique. xD

Got up, ate breakfast, and played on my computer for about two seconds.

Then my mom wanted to do laundry, but we were planning on going out for lunch too! xD (I like totally ran out of clothes to wear. D: Haven't done laundry in freaking WEEKS. So almost nothing normal left to wear. xD) She started lecturing me about how I should find some way to make sure I don't get into such a position, such as buying more clothes (doesn't work, since I would most likely wait until I ran out of clothes there too xD), or doing my own laundry (that doesn't affect it since I would also wait until I ran out. xD). So I just told her I got the point. D': This isn't the first time she's lectured me on this topic.

We went out for lunch. Along the way there, my parents were like..maybe you should take up more responsibilities in the house instead of us doing everything for you now! I said, sure, stop "packing" my lunch every day and let me find my own food from the fridge? And they're like...oh...nonono, that's something easy, we can still do that. xDD And then my dad ends up...oh nevermind, you should just focus on doing well in school! Basically, that discussion was absolutely pointless since they don't let me do anything except do good in school, and swim. xD It was random.

My mom is really really careful about how she treats her car. So when we were in my "family" car (the big Lexus that's sort of cubey instead of smooth in the front. xD), and my dad turned on the A/C, she was absolutely shocked and refused to turn it on past like...nothing. xD;; It was sorta funny. It felt very nice in the car. <3 Coolest I've felt all day!

The restaurant we went to was pretty nice. <3 There was this black pepper/weird sauce chicken stuff, over rice. xD So basically it was sorta like curry! That was very yummy. Then we got weird noodles things, with little shrimp in them... o3o; Weird little shrimp things. It was pretty yummy too. xD My family is weird in the way everyone has to have the exact same amount. We had 6 little dumpling things. I ate two, my mom ate two, and my dad had one. xD I INSISTED my dad have the last one, simply because everyone has to have two. (The only way to get that to happen is to find some excuse to say you don't want it yourself. xD) I'm trying to figure out what the restaurants use in their dumpling sauce... Still haven't figured it out. D:

My fortune cookie said "You will soon be involved in many parties and celebrations." or something along those lines. xDD I was like...hmm..I think you're a few weeks late. Or maybe there's really more to come! ;D (Hopefully. You can never get enough of parties~! ...unless you have a weeks worth in a row.)

After that...my parents wanted to stop by the furniture store and see if they could find some chairs. (Turns out when my parents bought our dining room set, it only came with 6 chairs. To buy the other 2 and make it a full set was 200 bucks each chair. o 3o; So they didn't buy it. My dad is constantly looking for those chairs, for a cheaper price. xDD) We left without buying anything. :'B They said 30 to 40 percent off EVERYTHING. My mom goes and asks how much the little table would be after the discount, and the lady was like...oh no, that's the final price, no discount. xDD Same for the cabinet, and almost everything else we asked about. Discount, my butt! D:< So basically, we left without buying anything, just like every other week. xDD (We go there a lot after our almost weekly restaurant lunch.)

Then we went...grocery shopping! First stop, Maxim. ;D We left without buying much, since my dad wanted to go to the other store to see if the rice was cheaper. Yes indeed it was! xD ...few cents cheaper. At the second store, I got bored and decided to try one of the "energy drinks". It was in one of those stout little cans. xD I bought some Pearl Milk Tea (basically bubble tea, but without the flavourings. Just milk and tea and bubbles and some sugar!) The milk tea was in a can. xD And I didn't know there were bubbles. So I drank the whole thing down...and realised all I had was bubbles left. D:< So I sat there for about 5 minutes flipping my head back to try and get all the bubbles out. xD I finished it eventually!

We went to Grand Mart. I bought a can of Monster, in case I'm dead on Monday. xD There were a lot of food samples everywhere! So my mom was like...I think it's lunch time. xD It was quite lols. They have these signs that say you're not allowed to sample the foods without purchasing, that's considered stealing! Guess what all the Asian people around the lychee thing were doing? xD You usually end up buying it after trying one anyways, if it's good. ;D They should make a new sign. You're only allowed to steal one! xD

After Grand Mart, we went to Giant. By this time...I was sort of tired out. xD We went to 4 stores already! Well, in Giant there was a HUGE sale on corn. xD WOOT! My dad wanted to take good ones from a new crate, but he couldn't rip the wood open! D: So I did the smart thing, I bent all the metal things, and it basically opened on one side. xD If you didn't hold it, it would snap right back. My dad said it was our secret crate with the good corn. xD

I don't eat corn much. It gets stuck in my teeth, and that just annoys me. D: That's why I don't eat popcorn much. Or various other things. I don't chew Starburst. I saw some graham crackers that were SORTA on sale, so I was like..meh, why not. xD I wanted to buy cookies, but I thought those were too fattening! xD I went home and opened the snack cabinet...it's packed beyond belief. (ChocoPie, a few oatmeal raisin cookies, cheddar crackers, wheat crackers, a lot of shrimp crackers, and...lotsa yummy stuff. xD) I stuffed the graham crackers in, and now I'm afraid to open the door. o 3o; Something might fall on me! (Just like my fridge when I open that...)

After I left Giant, I felt sorta thirsty, so I pulled that little mini energy drink I had bought a few stores back. xD (Life is like an RPG game... o3o; You need an energy potion! -pulls its out-) Yeah...well...that stuff packs A LOT of punch for such a little thing. xD I was almost finished when we got inside, but I needed to set it down, so I just chugged down the rest and went on my way to help unload the tons of groceries. I'm surprised the car's tail bumper wasn't dragging along the road from all that food! xD (The only thing I'm good for in my house is dragging groceries home and helping move heavy things. -more upper body strength than my mom-)

I got really really hyper when I came home. I was like flipping around my room doing wannabe ninja moves. xD I was hopping all over the place too. Afterwards, I totally crashed. o 3o; That wasn't good.

Since I drank all that stuff, I wasn't really that hungry at dinner. xD So I ate a little later, when I wasn't busy on Ran Online. xD It was quite the lonely meal. D': It was like...cricket, cricket. Well...how are you doing today, myself? xD (When talking out loud, alone in a big house, with not a single noise, I tend to whisper. It's a weird habit! xD)

On Ran Online, I'm level 36 now. ;D It's a lot harder to level up on there, without the 3 times/4 times experience event. ^_^;; But I'm managing okay thanks to my guild. Rush leveling is quite interesting. xD When I usually would be killing one type of monster, I'm already several levels ahead killing really strong monsters, thanks to the rest of my guild! ;D Strong people and weak people alike get together in a team, which makes things go a lot faster and easier. <3 I tended to get kicked out of the teams, to make room for better players though. xD;; I held the whole team back~! But they still helped me level a lot, and for that I'm very thankful towards them. Nice folks they are~! I sold an item to one person, and they gave me 300k, as well as a new weapon and a skill scroll! (You need skill scrolls to learn new attacks. >D)

After that, I was helping someone else in a party. <3 It was fun.

My mom came and asked me how she could watch a movie if she only knew the name of it. xD So I closed the game and went on two sites. Number one, TV Links, didn't work. So I tried watch-movies. That worked like a charm! ;D They're watching Last Holiday, starring Queen Latifah. xD It's a funny movie. I MIGHT watch it after I watch Pink Panther 2. xD I don't feel like sitting in my parents' uber warm room watching it now. I prefer my somewhat cool room, thanks to my window.

I tried to help Pri set up her iPod Touch today, since she said it wasn't working. D': I'm not sure if it's started working yet or not... T^T;; I suggested a solution, and I think we'll try it tomorrow.

Someone confided in me today~! xD Their secret is safe with me!

Kat went to the zoo. Stupid Verizon gets signal underground...xD That's totally unfair~! There were no polar bears! -gasps- And the pandas were either dead or sleeping. xD And a cheetah looked dead too. The turtle looked dead, but was actually just on its back. o3o; I got a funny video of that. xD Kat thinks she sounds weird on camera/phone. D: I think she sounds fine! She sounds like...her. xD At least I can pretty easily tell it's her. As for me though...I sound ten times worse. xD She's too self-conscious~!

I've been shown one of Facebook's epic wins. Top Friends! >D It's basically like my Yearbook's, but it's only an app, so you can't get money for it from all of Facebook. ^_^; (myYearbook gives you something a lot like gold, that you can spend in lotsa different ways, including buying your friends. xD) I'm owned by Kat, and she's owned by me. I cost more than her! ;D But that's just because I'm cool like that. :'B She has more views though. (Most of them were mine...xD) It's quite amusing.
