My birthday was....ok, I guess. Not as awesome as last year. But that's ok. The trip was fun enough, though I blame myself for always having a hard time enjoying things like they should be. I'm 17 now, and it's actually kind nice. It's like getting over a hill, getting closer to being an adult is all I need to help me get through. I don't need to be a kid anymore, it's too inconvenient.

I'm...going to make another cake though. Anna's cake was awesome, don't get me wrong about that. It was the most beautiful Italian cake I've ever seen. But my Dad usually makes a homemade chocolate cake for the family to eat, as a kind of birthday tradition. Since he well, was busy, I don't mind making it. I'll get some special icing to decorate it with :3 I wanna draw Giroro's symbol on it, heehee ~~

Finally beat Pac Man world 2, and I finished my AP Literature Work. Halfway done with Ap chem, Portfolio 2 work will be cake. I'm really more concerned about the work for mapper and tile sheet making that has to be done .___.

My summer is set up pretty well to be a lot easier this time around. I'm looking forward to it. But more than ever, I'm looking forward to getting out and going to Germany in a little more than a month.

Now that got me the GREATEST AND MOST AMAZING NOFX T-SHIRT I COULD HAVE EVER ASKED FOR IN MY LIFE EVER OAO....I have no idea what to do with this $20 gift card to hot topic. But then I remembered those black and white gloves that I really wanted but i couldn't buy them. I'm gonna hope that they're still there because they're not listed on their online store. They were REALLY cool gloves.

I'm very happy with my Rice Cooker and Snig though :3 Thursday when get paid Imma buy a big bag of organic sushi rice to make rice balls <3. Snig (Snake+Ring=SNIG 8D) fits on my other hand nicely. I love it o3o I never wanna take it off. I almost wanna start asking it questions too, to see if it'll start freaking out.

It seems like when I get a lot of cool things going on in my life around me, there's always something to dampen it all. In pure spite of all the awesomeness listed above, my mother decided to up and disappear for two days. The other thing that lives in my house, i think i have to call it a sibling, decided to throw a party. The house reeks horribly of a lot of things I'm not going to list. My poor dogs though, they were hiding upstairs in my mother's room when I got home. Now they're hiding in my room I just hope they're out on time because I want to go to sleep because I have to be back in at work a little early tomorrow.

-TLDR- Everything else is awesome, but atm this kinda...sucks =\ a LOT.
