It seems like life has sent me through a number of hard knocks recently. I’m still trying to sort things out a bit but I think I’ll be all right in the end. ^^;

Today was just crazy. We had a meeting at 10:30 this morning that lasted literally 3 hours. It was seriously torture. I was seriously suffering. I was hungry, had a headache, a butt ache, and really had to pee! The only relevant part of the meeting for me was really the first hour or two. That last hour was an extreme waste of time.

Once we finally got out of the meeting I had to dash to meet up with someone for lunch. The rest of the day went by pretty quickly and I met back up with my friend to head to Barcade after work. That was a lot of fun! It’s like a bar with arcade machines in it. We played the Michael Jackson Thriller game, Dr. Mario, Moral Combat, some sort of shooting game, Dig Dug, and Centipede. After that we had some Japanese snacks called taiyaki (which are apparently bigger versions of these things called manjoo), went to the book store and then the comic store and then ate dinner at Friday’s. Overall it was a pretty good day.

Water is good. I’ve been trying to drink more water lately. Some days I’m successful, other days not so much. ^^;

Most important parts of today: Doing laundry and baking a casserole for dinner. XD

I’m a pretty big Harry Potter fan. I started reading the books after the 4th book came out. It was kind of nice to have a bunch of them to read before having to hunker down to wait for the next release. After that I went to some of the midnight releases for the books. It was a really great series to grow up with and I had a lot of fun with it.

Today was a bit more relaxed. It was the last day before the long weekend so everyone was a bit more relaxed. After work I met up with a friend. We went to a cafe/bakery called “Tous les jours”. It’s in Korea town. It’s like a Korean French bakery which was pretty cool. I got some bubble tea and milk bread which was pretty delicious. After that I stopped in at Jc Penny to look for bedding but nothing was in stock. I headed over to Target and they had the same problem but I managed to find some stuff I liked so I was able to order the appropriate sizes online. I ended up getting home pretty late though and sort of forgot to eat dinner. Oops. >.>

I am Groot! XD To be honest I was really annoyed with the craze that went around regarding that movie when it first came out but I finally did watch it and I have to admit that it was a pretty good movie. >.<

Today I was invited to a picnic by one of my coworkers. I left a little bit late and there were problems with the train so I was worried I’d be really late but in the end I was actually one of the first to arrive. My coworker, let’s call her J, made a casserole which I picked at. It was the first time I had actually eaten anything with tuna in it and to be honest I wasn’t a fan. She also made some gluten free bread that had salmon in it. That was a little better but I picked the olives out of it because I don’t like them. >.>

After we ate we sat around talking a bit. I didn’t really know like anyone there apart from J so it was rather awkward but I didn’t my best to socialize. A few hours later I thought we were getting ready to leave but then we got invited to coffee. I didn’t really want to go but I was curious to see J’s place and I figured it wouldn’t take long so I agreed. Except then a few more people showed up and they ended up starting like a second picnic. *le sigh*

Finally we got ready to leave again, hours after I thought I would leave, only to then get invited to dinner by the other group. I had agreed to play a game online with a friend this evening so I was pretty annoyed at myself for not standing my ground and leaving when I wanted to. I finally managed to excuse myself from going to dinner and headed home. I stopped at Target on the way back to pick up the bedding I had ordered and ended up getting home really late with all of the train construction that’s going on.

I made a bowl of soup quick because I hadn’t really had anything much to eat or drink at the picnic and sat down to play SWTOR. It was a blast. I totally ended up staying up much later than I had intended to but it was too much fun to quit. I can’t wait to play again!

Invisibility would be a pretty cool power. I’m honestly not sure it would be that helpful here in the city though. There are so many people I’d probably get bumped into A LOT. >.>
