I've been waiting a long time to use those lyrics as a title. XD
Today was a good day! Melanie and I went to Carrabba's for my birthday lunch, and aside from some unpleasantness with some bad shrimp, had a fairly enjoyable time. Then my fam went to see Hancock, which is a very good movie. And not just because Will Smith is a total hottie (though that surely helped). I went to Waldenbooks afterwards to use my birthday coupon; I was hoping for some of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Millennium World volumes I needed, but though they seem to be restocking and have new releases, they had no Yu-Gi-Oh. D: Then I looked for Rebel Angels, which I saw there last month, but they were all out. I finally opted for Black Cat 13, because I have 1-12 and 14, but 13 came out during a time I was short on funds and I borrowed it from Melanie instead of buying it. (By the way Melanie, did you know 15 is out??? I just noticed on my Amazon list that it's not a preorder anymore!)
After that, we all went to TGI Friday's. I had the sizzling chicken and cheese, which is delicious AND allowed by my diet. CHA-CHING.
As for prezzies, Eric got me a big amazing silver bangle bracelet! Eric getting me jewelry completely blew my mind, especially because it was totally beautiful. Go him, he will please a girlfriend someday. XD Tricia got me a Relient K CD that I didn't even know existed! Then I got lots of books, because I am a nerd! I got a nice boxed set of a translation of Journey to the West, Breaking Rank by Kristen Randle (actually the oldest thing on my Amazon wishlist - I added it in 2004), a book on Japanese particles, the Ursula K. Le Guin Worlds of Exile and Illusion trilogy, and an art book of Liz Lemon Swindle's Joseph Smith paintings. Then! My mom got me a Very Large Gift Card from New York & Company - there's not one around here, but there's one in Nampa so I can go shopping for new pants at Fandemonium in August! Because you know, I will be super svelte and not fit into any of my current pants by then.
Oh! Oh! And Melanie made me FRUITS BASKET MANGA EARRINGS! Vols 2 and 20, with Yuki and Machi! They are teeny little manga books, with pages and everything! SO CUTE. And also a stuffed Puu, from Yu Yu Hakusho! And he even SAYS "puuuu!" He's not quite done yet, so I had to give him back, but I will post pictures when he is completed. And I can post pics of the earrings when it's not dark.
Anyway, now I am full of chicken and cheese, and we are waiting for Alan and Heather to get here. They are bringing me another present. ;D The only downside of today is that I have no cake. D: Cake will have to wait for another day! Time to go to Goodreads and add all my new books to my to-read list. :D :D :D
PS- And by the way, Manga Takeout didn't send me Yurara OR Absolute Boyfriend. -___-
