• Ri-chan (alwyz_member_me) brought me the Tokyo Babylon artbook and a Syaoran x Sakura pencil board earlier that afternoon. Damn, it's so beautiful. ;o;bbbb


• Went to the meeting place in front of Old Navy at 5:30 as planned. Chris (thisislee) didn't arrive until 6. However, I suppose that wasn't very surprising considering she's always late. Met Ada (tigerskyz) down at the metro and took it one stop down to the Civic Center. I'm... never going to ride that thing again if I can help it. I'm surprised I actually made it in; it was so crowded!


• Met Amy in front of Moonstar and we got a table. Chris ordered Coke... We had a lovely time keeping it away from her. Tori (silentsiren11) arrived a couple minutes later since she took the BART from Berkeley just to meet up with us. We feel so loved. ♥ Kat and Melissa couldn't make it because one had work and the other ate at her Staff Appreciation meeting... >__>;;


• We had a very--and I'm quoting Tori--"enlightening dinner." We talked about everything. From preservatives to what we're doing this summer to Chris' health. I... missed this, I think.


• The food was pretty good, but I think the dessert was delightful. Chocolate-covered marshmallows were good and there was this little chocolate cake with whip cream and chocolate sauce drizzled over it and um... tiny marshmallows. |DDD;;;
  
• We had a terrible time figuring out how much to pay. We weren't short. We were over because of Chris putting 2 twenties in so we spent a while trying to figure out how much to give back to her. I bet the waitress that was serving us was wondering whether we had enough or not considering we were counting the money over and over again at our table. I think the bill was $130 something? Well, whatever. We were quite a bit over if I remember correctly.


• We all read our cute little fortune cookies. I still remember Tori's, I believe. "Customer service is like taking a bath. You have to keep doing it." Lol, just wtf? And since, on fortune cookies, we have to add "in bed" at the end of each one, Tori believes it's calling her a whore. |DDD;;; I forgot what everyone else had, but I think it was implying that Chris was more knowledgeable in bed then Tori. Pfft.


• We huddled at the bus stop for a couple minutes (Chris and Amy did not join in our huddling) because it was absolutely freezing. Took the bus down to downtown and went into the mall where I dove into Bath and Body Works to look for the new cherry blossom scent that I don't have yet. Next we went to Borders where Ada and Amy went into the manga section, Chris and Tori wandered into anywhere but the manga section. Ri-chan and I went on a search for them and got a headache from it. Also, I was really tempted to buy the X book actually, but it was slightly bent so I didn't.


• Walked Amy down to the metro station where she crossed the gates without telling us! So we had to hug her over the fence (?) wall (?) thing. Well, the rest of us hugged her. Chris... did a prison scene where she pretended there was glass between them--"Can you hear me?"--and got dragged off by Ri-chan.


• Walked our way over to Chinatown. Took double the time because someone wanted to go over the tunnel instead of through it. Because Melissa ditched us, we called her up, and then we took stalkerish pictures of us outside her house. It was all Tori's idea. There's even this one picture where we're all pointing up at her window. |D With friends like us, who needs enemies? Chris also threatened to bomb Melissa's house for reasons that I don't remember. And it's Ada's fault somehow... Somehow...


• Ri-chan called up Jimmy. I'm still not sure what for, but she did. And I promised him my undying love if he gets us in to the Aquarium of the Bay. |3;;; It'll probably be fun. Hopefully.

Forever...
Tears fall, vanish into the night
If I'm a sinner...
Chivalry, show me the way to go

Eeeeee! Seishirou and Subaru cover! I'm so damn happy ;o;b 

THEY BETTER END UP TOGETHER THIS TIME. 

I don't even care how they throw them together as long as they give Subaru one happy ending. Unless CLAMP really are that sadistic and has decided no versions of Subaru deserves a happy ending ever...

Well, whatever, I can't wait until they meet again. Maybe there will be more panels of Subaru smiling... *wants* I just want the poor beautiful boy to be happy~ 

Also, the caption is love and I can't stop smiling over it: "They know the time to meet a second time is not far away"

P.S. Because it's such a little thing to make a whole new post about, I just found out my cousin's middle name is Mariko. It's because she's also graduating this year (Yay~ You're almost done, Ana :D) and lol, I saw the invitation she sent us. Why does Alexandria have such a pretty name?

どんなものより強くをみせ統けたい
僕以外の誰にも近づいたりしないで
君が手に入れるものかすかな欲望の声
そばにいるとそれだけジェラシーにおぼれる

EDIT: Because of course it starts working for me after I make a post about it. Stupid thing.

• Got there at 3 after getting a bite to eat at Burger King. Actually my brother was the one that ate. I merely observed.
  
• Stood around for an hour or so. Maybe more watching people put plastic wrap over the lion heads so they wouldn't get soaked in the rain. I thought it looked sort of weird, but since those things are expensive, it's understandable.
  
• Got changed into the martial arts outfit. Refused to wear a poncho because pfft, like I'm afraid of a little rain.
• When it was time to go, we marched out bravely into the rain and I realized, maybe a little too late, that it was pouring. And I was getting drenched. And I had to perform in front of hundreds of people in the rain drenched.
  
• We stopped and waited for out other group to come out. Thankfully, someone came by and offered us ponchos again. I eagerly took one and even forced one on my brother. It didn't do much for my hair since the wind kept on blowing it back, but at least it saved my clothes.
  
• Waited around some more.
• My brother and I was asked to unravel some banners. Then they realized that they didn't need the banners and they took them back.
  
• Marched down to Market St. and waited around again. Yes, most of the time I spent waiting.
  
• My brother and I was asked to carry big heavy taller-than-everyone flags. I got a sickening feeling of deja vu, but didn't refuse because what was I suppose to say? "Um. No. I have a thing against banners and flags and being carried off by the wind, thank you."
• Stood in line with the other flag carriers and wanted to flail or run. Both of which were impossible because to flail means to drop the banner and to run means to carry the damn heavy thing and run with it. I couldn't even walk properly with it much less run!
• Was told to give everyone enough space so we can do figure 8's without hitting people. A long line of WTF and curses in every language I know streamed through my head because what do I know about doing figure 8's with flags when I can't even carry it properly much less swing it around!
• Was saved by people who were late to the party and went back to the safety of performing the martial art sets.
  
• Things went by pretty normally by then. Except for the rain (it was pretty light then) and the poncho getting my way and the stupid crowd who came out to watch the parade in the rain when they could've watched it on TV like normal people.
• Rolled eyes at the sky for being indecisive. It was raining one minute and then it stopped and pretty much started storming near the end.
• Did not stay for the after-party and went home.
  

I will not say anything besides this about the dreaded parade tomorrow. I want to start off with a good entry. SO LET'S BEGIN!

It's so empty Dx The layout is pink though and I think it's name was something like "Playful Cherry Blossoms" xDD So until I find the time to make my own layout, this will have to do. Sigh. I heard it's going to pour tomorrow.

By the way, I have a--wait for it--TAMAKI MOOD THEME~ ♥ It is made of win and love and awesomeness. Just like Tamaki is made for mood themes. Which reminds me that I want to make a Sakura mood theme, but then I'll have to go through the grueling task of either looking for screencaps or--and I'm really dreading it won't have to come to this--making screencaps myself. B-But... I want a Sakura mood theme DDDD: Not that I don't have plenty Wheee! Roy Mustang ♥ B-But Sakura-chan...

I hate first entries. I always feel the need to make them grand and dazzling. Blah. 

OMG! Noooooo! It's going to storm tomorrow and I'll have to attend the stupid parade and perform martial arts for stupid people who'll actually go out into the freaking storm to watch! And... And... And... I'm so distressed I can't even think about what else I was going to complain about Dx But they said it'll rain today and it didn't so maybe it won't rain tomorrow too?
