So, yeah...

I'm 21 years old today.

Today kinda sucked too.

So, I had 4 tasks I had to try to do today - mow the lawn, get to the campus library for some research, go to dentist's appointment, and go to work.

Started mowing the lawn a bit later than usual, and it took longer than expected. When I finished, I didn't have enough time to make it to campus.

Hell, I didn't have enough time to make the dentist's appointment. After naturally encountering the slowest and dumbest drivers on the planet on the way, I arrive at the dentist's office an entire half hour late. --;

Conclusion - once again, no problems aside from my gums being in horrid shape, as usual. Cleaning also hurts a bit as usual, thanks to said gums.

Work was incredibly boring. Apparently, the major load had already passed, leaving us with virtually nothing to do.

I spent entirely too much money again. But, I might as well exploit the discount as much as I can while I still have it. Though, I think James, Dan, and Calvin are the only ones that know I'm in the process of quitting at this point.

At least I got to read the 2nd volume of "Forbidden Dance" during work. I was being made to work on my birthday and thus breaking a 20 year streak of having dinner with the family on my birthday, so they'll be damned if they didn't let me have my shoujo manga. =P

The weekend was quite fun - of course, when I said 11 am to meet up at SF, I really meant 2 pm. Not too many people met up there anyways, but having taken Shiene to SF with me, it was enough to end up with 6 people in my car. My car has a 5 person capacity. With 6 people, it's not only crowded, but the amount of weight causes the car to perform like, well, a full size van.

Allison came an hour or so after we got back to Shiene's, and a couple hours later Kevin came with Brice, and later picked up Ki. We played pop'n 8 with the ASC, SC2 with the X-Box (after spending a good 5 minutes getting a combination of controllers that worked with the converters properly), back to pop'n 8, IIDX also with the pop'n ASC (^^;), and some DDR MAX2 US. Allison and Ki also had a lively, not-making-much-sense conversation. ^^;

I ended up having the party end earlier than planned to take Allison home, and apologize that I can't help with the carting back of people - having no choice but to leave Kevin to the task. Gunned it home, as I needed to get Allison there by 10:30. We walked through the front door at 10:39. Oops.

Allison leaves after an hour or so, and I end up DDRing for the first time in a while at cousins' request. It's a bit annoying to be asked to DDR for show for some reason. They try DDRing for a while, too.

The next day, we all go get dim sum before they all had to start heading home. After they left, I ended up working with Jascii and mashadar to finish up Bottle Fairy ep1 - it had been translated and timed in my absence, which is quite rare. =P Bottle Fairy is probably one of our most successful torrented eps so far - as of now, there are 4,556 completed downloads and still climbing. Can't wait for the next ep. =P

Well, tomorrow, class is going to suck since I didn't make it to campus as planned today. Ugh. Have to work too - I have entirely too many hours for someone who's quitting. Dinner is going to be on Friday before my dad leaves for Asia again. Yay for free time. x_X

Yay for birthdays. No yay for Asia.

Happy 21st! You all grown up now. :p

Happy birthday! I've been reading your blog for around a year now, and I don't even remember why. But it's been interesting to follow your doings, in some weird, semi-voyeuristic way. Congradulations on the past year, and good luck in the next one.

That's because most of it was in Cantonese/German/French/Mandarin/musical pitches!! I spent part of it teaching Ki about Chinese tones!! ^^= Sorry to poor Kevin for causing him trouble!! And yeah, dentist visits are always a hassle :/.
