I haven't had internets in ages. I just got them back on. <3
So I will be here from now on. YAY!
How have you been?

Man, I've been completely shitty xD

I was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, and lost all of my hair. Which is honestly all that matters to me xD I've got scars like you won't believe from a ton of surgeries, all within three months. I made it through chemo, though, and I'm clear for now. Just need EXTREMELY regular check ups to make sure it stays that way.

I'm glad you're back though n_n

omg! -huggles!! I am so sorry to hear that, but am relieved that you are doing well. Do you still live in the area? We should meetup some time.

/snug

Yuh, cutting my hair was rough. If you go back to like... page ninety-one or somewhere around there, you can see a photo of my hair before I cut it. It makes me sad to look at. (Also on the same page, you can see a photo of me with all of my squid toys, including the one that Skrae made for me while I was in the hospital n_n)

I moved to Southgate. I was in Taylor before, if you don't recall. But yes, still in the area. This weekend is the Strawberry Fest in Belleville. If you're up for very sudden plans, I'm free on Sunday. We could meet up there and eat strawberry goodies! lol

It's my birthday on Saturday... like - tomorrow... *lolz* you should visit me in CHICAGO!

OMG...strawberries...
-whiiine-
DAMN YOU SCHOOL for taking away my fun chances!
Two more years, then I theoretcially can move to chicago area, and be employed.
-flails-

DO EET! I wish I could rent a damn house and just share with people.

I imagine we would all be in our rooms, on the internet on Mene at the same time. *ROFL*

XD
And we totally would, because we're all nerds like that...
Jon and I both will be online, IMing each other...while we're sitting next to each other...

I'm planning to.
I'mma be a paralegal after about 8 more classes, so I can get a decent job, and then, when Jon finally gets his associate's degree, he'll be moving in with me.
:3

I can't freakin wait.
I swear, I'm going to Mitsuwa in Aurora the first day I'm there...

When my ex came to stay with us (After we broke up, staying with us as friends) I was in my room on my laptop, and he was in the computer room on the desktop - literally... maybe ten feet away from each other - and we were online talking to each other.

Yeah. It's something I can see me doing lol

Happy almost birthday! I wish I could come hang, but I actually have work tomorrow :c You should just come up here on Sunday. I want strawberry goodies now xD

Skrae! Come too! Just a day trip! It will be fun! We can meet at my house for a minute, then go to the fest after n_n

Oh I wish I could...
Haven't been able to find a job though, so I really can't afford to. Damn you univerrrse~
Eh, I'll be up soon enough... >_>

Since I'm done with chemo now, I'll get to get back on normal hours at Blockbuster.

At least until the company dies which I hope never happens.

Keep renting at your local BB! DO IT!

SCREW NETFLIX. SCREW RED BOX.

Squid go look for another job!

And Skrae, maybe by the time you get here - I'll have started MY anime shop. <3

I still have work till the end of the month then ..... goodbye pay checks.

-salutes-
I would, but...I don't has job, so cannot rent..
damn paradoxes!
-makes a face-
I'mma try to get either hired on at a law firm this summer, or volunteer/intern at one this fall.
:3

Oooh, anime shop? Sounds awesome!

I don't want another job :c

I love my job. It's really close to my house, and I LOVE everyone I work with.

/siigh

I would like something ... more ... permanent, though. Like, a career. That would be nice, with no education beyond high school, impossible to get.

Woah - my brain just freaking fell asleep... what the dickens!?

I'm writing my business plan. I need a name though. I was seriously considering calling it 'Squid' but it doesn't really have to do with anime per say.

... Go with Squidleet!

Or um... What is it... 1337 at the end.

Not too much about anime, but nerdy as hell! lol

And then I'll be famous~

I just think it's fun to say.

Squid. The only Anime Store in Chicago. *giggle*

XD
Congrats on the good diagnosis/prognosis/somthingosis, Squid. :3

-applauds Faux-
Make sure you check your state's commerce secretary and the small business association for help with plans & etc.

Squid: Get an associate's degree in something. Two years of cheap classes=more opportunities.

Surely there are other anime stores in Chicago! It's so big! There are two or three in my little(ish) city!

Wow.

You should get quarter machines in your store. The kind that have little figurines in them. I collect them n_n

I sometimes collect the lil figures too...
I have the cutest pooh-bear-in-a-costume ones form being in Spain...

Oh boy. I'm not sure if I could catalog all of my toys without looking at them xD I'm almost to the point where I can't even count all of my squids xD I got two new ones, recently. One, an octo from a friend, and the other, an actual squid! It's a cat toy, but I love it more than my cats would. Really! lol

There are random store that sell anime goods - but no store dedicated to anime and manga.

Yes! I'm going to have gashapon / 25cent machines!

Okay I'm going to bed! and tomorrow I'll wake up and it'll be my birthday!

Yay!
Happy birthday~

That sounds awesome Faux!

I'mma head off to bed, too.

I'll probably send you a nice birthday text, Faux n_n I'll try not to do it too early, since I never know when people wake up, but I do know you're an hour behind me.

Night night, Skrae!

N'night you two.
I'm goin to bed shortly.
<3

I GET TO SEE JON TOMORROW!!!
>_<
Sorry, just really happy.
