Let's see. There was California, great time. There was summer school, shitty time. There was end of summer school, I made an A. Yay. My birthday is soon, I want presents, I want money, I want power. Until I have more to ever write about, it won't be for a while. No depression for me, right now anyway.
PS, I've moved. Find the link!
YOMIGAAAEEEERRRREEEE!

LOOK I'M HERE!. Everyone and their mothers loves journals again and especially their Anime Expo stories. So I thought I'd write it at about 2 am. It's time for me to bite off everyone else too!! So here I am. I'm also done with John theatrics, because uh..I think all's been said, it's almost like the Logan piss jokes on a higher level. Out of the state by myself for the first time in life with 700 bucks to spend and tons of things to do. Tuesday was fun, I mean. Meeting up with my friends Matt and Chris again. I dyed my hair, still dyed for a short while until I find the will to redye my hair. Let's see...I was pretty tired Tuesday night, so I just chilled then watched some death movie followed by porn. WAHOO!!! Wednesday was when the elusive Sherwin came over, watched TRUST ME U DIE (a shitty film) and My Friend The Barbarian (a terrific film) Everyone was tired, but it was all good though. It was really nice to get to know friends Dennis and Jack. That night was sorta where problems began and I got pretty annoyed that night. I brushed it off though. I mean, drama is drama.
Now there's Thursday. A fun day of Anime Expo, sorta. Walking around all the time and eating shitty orange beef. Not much was remembered since Chris and I stayed up till about 6 am Wednesday night talking about stuff. Friday was where all the akshun was. I mean, meeting Nobuhiro Watsuki and embarassing him in front of an audience, finding the confidence to talk to a girl and actually do things with her, then enjoying a night of heckling and all out stupidity with new and old friends alike. Anime Singled Out 2003: Remember, Mike Voqhogads loves you. Saturday went pretty smoothly except for like pissing off Sherwin earlier in the morning. I think that was promptly taken care of, I hope anyway. Eh, oh well. My bad! Ho ho ho. Saturday was spent chilling, got an autograph from the fool Watsuki. I then proceeded to chill the entire day and found the girl I talked to and hung out with Friday. She seemed to either try to distance herself from me or uh..was really tired. Beats me, not a fan of long distance relationships myself. Although I didn't feel really bad this time. I mean, I succeeded in something at least. So, all's well that ends well. Sunday was the final day of the con and I helped Chris move stuff to and fro. I got cool anime things for my little brother, cousin and I. A FLCL shotglass!??! TERRIFIC! Not that I was looking for anything of course. Heh heh heh.
Seriously, it was fun. Just more fun chances to talk about whatever happened. I mean, there was Hooters and uh so many fun things that happened rather than the downers. Sure the downers sucked, but I was still happy and enjoying myself. I played basketball Monday night, not being an athletic player sucks. I got pretty mad, but it was pretty much over in about no time. So many cute Chinese girls here and there. Man, I need a life. Video games and more fun before I left Tuesday. Further details to be added later, or never. PS, I have bad teeth. It makes me sad.

Anyway, EVIL HAS GOT AN UPGRADE. Right, I'm back and no one cares. I've done the video game thing, I've done the sleeping thing, and I've done the life thing. It's pretty fun, but I'm just a little tired right now. So it's time to become a recluse once more. Actually, I'm really looking forward to AX. 2 or less weeks to go, meeting up with people I know will be great and just plain stupidity. I've been driving to many places lately and just drive too much in general. I sort of have curbed my gas-eating tendencies a little bit, but well..Uh I'm still using too much gas. Hooray! So I think I'm getting through this friend thing fine, I need to catch up on some friends and do things again. Not such a boring life after all, I suppose. I think I've become numb when I drive by myself. Driving down the highway at 80 miles per hour and having just no feelings. You know, nothing more but driving. Of course, music always helps. The new Hikaru Utada album is out, TERRIFIC stuff. Anyway, I probably am a little depressed, nothing I can get over with a little work though. I've also been playing PSX games again, until I finish the ole SHAMAN KING. I probably won't be doing much playing of anything else. All these disjointed thoughts, probably a sign of how cluttered my life is. I think I'll just finish my dinner and chill! It's the American way.
Appendix (11:40 pm): There goes chilling, I fucking hate feeling resentful. I also wonder why I tolerate shit just for trying to be nice or friendly. Be nice to someone, get slammed, ignored, forgotten. Sincerity and kindness is never remembered. Being kind means being able to get stepped on. The courtesy of trying to keep up with whoever your friend is just shrugged off or returned with the feeling of "Why are you talking to me?" For Heaven's sakes, talking is so much damn trouble. The only times when some people look for me is when they need me to do something for them, hilarious. I'm practically mud, peace.

Summer lull ~don't do jack shit 2k2~ I'm in the middle of filling out my registration for my second summer semester. I think a month and a half of doing nothing's just about it. Meanwhile, Austin is becoming the place of choice for many of my friends and it's beginning to feel like another new beginning. One in a long line of new beginnings for everyone. I'm sure I'm going to be a little depressed come A-kon 2k2's mighty fall out. As Summer begins, it's become an end to someone's tenure in North Texas ever since I finished high school. Feels like I'm being pessimistic, but I don't feel that much has changed from the first day I became part of the GRAPEVINE DRINKING CHAMPIONS otherwise known as "Da Krew." There's always been a good time looking to be found in the oddest of places and times. I guess that was part of it's charm. Although the krew isn't much of a krew now, the krew still lives on in our hearts it feels like. With every visit from those gone, the lingering presence of the krew makes it easy to forget everything else that's happening in the world because it's miller time. My life's kind of in a limbo right now, I'm alive and that's all that matters. I've got good times coming up, more schooling to finish and random things coming out of the woodwork. As of yesterday, I've resigned myself to hanging up the worries of life and to to live out these days doing what I want to do as opposed to sitting here and worrying all the time about what's to come. I'll get to worrying when the time comes, not too soon, but not too late either. I think I'm depressed as I haven't been able to really get a really good night's sleep until 2-3 am, but I'll just get through it. With my life everchanging or everstagnating. I think it'd be a nice time for a real hiatus from this journal. The time I've spent not writing in here has been pretty great so far and spent on fun things. Maybe I'll be able to function without a journal, maybe not. I know that I will probably write every few weeks, but I think that's good enough. Writing every day or every week does seem to get a little tiresome. Anyway, I guess I've got a goal for myself come these next few months. Maybe a little more maturing is in order. I've always thought of myself as fairly mature mentally, but I really don't believe it anymore. Maybe some change is in order, a little rocking of the boat so to speak.
SHORYUKEN!

I've done it! Passed all of my classes! I could not sleep for the past few nights and owned my classes. No longer need to worry right now. CALI IS GO! I'm ecstatic and feel like a million dollars. I just wish I had a million dollars. So nice.
Mo' pho? Fo' 4.75?!

So, today's the 14th. One more day until I get my reportcard. THANK GOD!! I guess? I'm just some dirty heathenist Viet anyway. So yesterday, I was invited to meet up with a few friends I haven't seen in a long time. Went to eat pho on the anniversary or just about anniversary of Steve's departure from Texas. Instead of eating at Pho 95 which is a far drive, we went to PHO PASTEUR. The merry group of Mark, Trey, Damon, my cousin, Lil' Hugo and I went to go buy Pocky for 70 cents as opposed to 3 dollars as some losers like to sell it at then went to the restaurant. Everyone kept on making fun of me as I was telling friends how I was acting quite motherly after trying to help my friends get their food. After dinner, I had a good time talking about the choice of weapons in preparation for apocalypse and everyone got a hand in playing "The Hugo Game." That resulted into Hugo getting his ribs pushed in pain and him shedding a few tears. After that, it was off to the mall to meet up with more friends and a romp at Chili's. Card games, video games, and other stuff friends do! Had a good time, I'm a little tired but it's fine. I think I've found my cushy place in life. Not too close to my friends, but not too far either. Talk about contradictions, anyway. I think I'm happy. I also like video games again, I think. Oh well, T Minus 20 hours and counting.
The calm before the storm.

So, here I am casually eating a big bowl of soup and to my side is The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. I'm finished with all of my classes with the exceptions of the exams. I have exams on Monday through Wednesday and then I'm done. I get to sleep in and wait until the 15th to get my report card. I'm not quite as stressed out as last time, just a little lazy in this ending stretch. I've been out late till 1 am both Friday and Saturday night. I had one of the best times of my life Friday night. It didn't involve much excitement, it was a pretty somber moment. Being with different people and witnessing how they work, getting to know these people and being able to conversate with them all. Including chasing ducks and feeding fish. Anyway, we finish and go back to a friend's house. My friend's car got vandalized, really shitty way to end a night. Ah, stalkers. So I had a test review in the morning, but couldn't do anything to help my friend. Kind of felt like I was running away. It cost me a good night of sleep. Story ends with the cops being called and me being assured everything'll be all right. Yesterday was another average night of arcade fun, Yamazaki random select on CvS 2 is too awesome. Alas, the soup is almost finished. I have a 5 page paper to finish.
