We all stay up late. Oftentimes reading about random things on the internet. What you'll find here is exactly that; basically a personal log of the things that have happened in my life, as well as a periodic dose of Otaku Culture. But look at the time! Time to sleep. おやすみなさい。

What? You mean you're not going on a summer vacation!?
With the reception of my final grade (A- in English, for once in my life), the school year is adjourned, and my summer officially begins. For many, this would be a great time to kick back and relax, but for me it only spells a barrage of bigger, more daunting tasks that have ever befallen me:
Learning how to drive, finding a job at a bank, making enough to make a down payment on next year's tuition...(*cough $6415.90 + textbooks cough* ), and the tension of a possibility of not making it into the Accounting faculty next year at all.
I realize that it's only going to help me in the long run, but because I'm used to being super fat and lazy in the summer, it feels like I have the entire world on my shoulders - and it's freakin' heavy.
All serious business aside, how do I respond when people ask "so how is your summer going?" Well, I'm not really one for change, so the answer to that question is "the same thing I've been doing the rest of the year, but like twice as much." The only thing I've done thus far in no particular order is get fatter, watch anime, play piano, read a visual novel, ebay (yes, I actually consider this an activity \x.x/), marathon The Lord of The Rings Trilogy, and turtle my way through learning some more Kanji. That's what my idea of fun in the sun looks like in practice - sitting alone in a dark basement with my eyes sparkling with the glare of my computer monitor.
I would like to practice drawing also, as it is a skill I've wanted to improve since I was in elementary school, but always seems to take a back seat to other tasks, probably because I subconsciously avoid doing difficult things (doesn't everyone?).

Rain, Balls, and Holes
12:29AM. It's a bit early for me to be making today's post, but time has taken it's toll and I'm actually tired when I should be, how ironic.
I woke up late today as usual, last night having been another one of those merchant nights where I hit up ebay and snipe to my heart's content. I won 5 Tour Bus playmats each ranging from 30-40 dollars (reg. 70+) from the same seller, so shipping cost was combined (thank god). Pics will be posted in the foreseeable future. So contrary to some popular opinion, 4:55AM is a great time to be awake, especially when you can work some mercantile magic :)
I performed my daily ritual of getting out of bed, hearing the magpies (who all need to go to hell, by the way) from my backyard coupled with the crackling of my screwed up back-bone, and grabbed my raggedy keys to check the mailbox in whatever the hell I may (or may not) have been wearing.

Today's Yield:
I actually died laughing (then came back as a clone of myself, of course) at this because they actually put each card into it's own top loader! No wonder shipping was 12.95...bastards.
Rain and Balls after the jump!

Oh look, it's a goblin being plunged into the endless abyss.
Today was an absolutely glorious day because of this recent mid-format ruling change in Yu-Gi-Oh! It was really a coin flip as to whether the change would actually take place, but I risked it and bought a whole bucket-load of Bottomless Trap Hole (~40) for about a dollar each roughly two weeks ago. Now due to this ruling change, they have sky-rocketed in value.

5:11AM
My god. It's 5:11AM and I was actually bored enough to bring myself to start writing a blog.
As you may have deduced, my creativity leaves a little to be desired with regards to title names. My eyes just love to look at the small digital clock on the bottom-right of my screen when they get tired of staring at the ceiling, after it reveals no ideas for several minutes.
Anyways, back to...yeah. I have to go to my work today (toy store with the capitalist giraffe on it), even though I'm not scheduled to work today. I got a rude wake up call from the phone with a request (demand) to come in some time before Thursday to do something that would mean the end of the world if I didn't - a suuuurrrrrveyyyyy >o>
I agreed to come in today at noon, to come take part in this grandiose activity that they prepared for me, which, if I do the math, means I'll be tired for the majority of the day tomorrow.
No, this is not a FML post, nor is it a jab at work in general, it's simply one of the things on my mind right now. At what is now 5:22AM.
