Guh finding time for anything lately is next to impossible. I’ve been trying though T-T. At least life isn’t boring! Work has been hectic. For some reason I’ve been getting stuck with full time hours again despite my request for no more than 25 hours a week… but I could use the money so I’m reluctant to complain. Joe’s iPhone set me back a few hundred and now Kiwi requires his first vet visit so I should be appreciative of my work hours. It’s just so exhausting. On top of that I’ve been trying to get my ass to a gym whenever possible even on work days. Takes a lot out of you to run like 3 miles then go to work. And still some how my weight loss is not going as fast as I’d like. I am losing at least. Wondering if I should use those weight loss suppliment things to speed my metabolism or something. Must get down to 98!! I want to be a stick again D:

I’ve put a lot of things on my weight loss, such as my back and front shoulder tattoos. I’d really like to start planning them but just won’t allow myself the satisfaction until I’ve reached my goal weight. Also found a ton of online stores that sell authentic brand clothing like h.naoto, putumayo, BSSB, Kera, etc… but again I do not want to buy anything till I’ve reached my goal and I can feel good about wearing awesome clothing again. Go me for self modivation!
Once I get down to around 100 I’d like to plan on being like 94-96 if possible. Those last 5 pounds will be difficult XD. I’m sure everyone will hate me and yell at me for trying.

So I’m all registered for Otakon, just have to wait for artist ally to open up! I’m so paranoid I’m gonna miss it or something. Eh, even if I do I’m sure we’ll still be going. Joe is really looking forward to it.
I was looking into the panel hosting… but kinda short notice and I’d like to use site staff to attend, host and develop the panel… but once again it’s just me and Kai till we go staff searching. Maybe by next year that could be a great possibility! Would be a ton of fun to run a panel and great promotion for DS. I’ll hope for it ^ ^.
I’m waiting for the tax check to come in. I’ll be putting basically the whole thing off to the side for Otakon. Just want to make sure I have the money saved and ready for hotel and spending. Still debating on if I should cosplay or not. I just don’t have anyone to cosplay with me T-T no fun doing it alone… and I don’t have enough money to ship Kai up for forced cosplay the entire weekend (poor bastard *shakes fist*). Kai get a job now!!!

My next fun even coming up is the Sakura Matsuri at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. Still a toss up as to whether or not I’ll go in my Yukata this year. I always seem to suffer from some sort of heat stroke every year when I dress up XDD. I think it’s the obi o.o. I feel quite annoyed at the people who do actual cosplay to this event. It’s about Japanese culture and enjoying the cherry blossoms, not hidious naruto characters and obese inuyashas. WTF…

Still debating AnimeNEXT… I could get a table there and it’s only a 30 minute drive… depends on how much extra money I’ll find myself with by the end of next month.

Number 2 goal right now (besides the weight loss) is to actually save money. It’s always so impossible! Something always comes up that forces me to have to dish out like $200 out of every pay check. On average I spend like $100-200 a week on whatever random crap not including my monthly bills. Some how I must come up with a way to reduce my spending and save money in a successful manner. Joe thinks we should just create a joint account and start accumulating our money together. I’m just afraid that will encourage us to spend more cause it’ll seem like “oh we have a lot of money in our account right now so we can afford to buy **insert name of useless item here**”. What can I say, we both fail.

So here’s some fun. Apparently I have a stalker ^ ^. A real life one too! Got a very strange message on Myspace a few days ago from a practically blank profile “Hey sweetie! You’re the cute girl who sold me my fish a few weeks ago. No mistaking those pretty eyes! I’ll be in soon for more! take care – DF”.
Ok a little strange but no big deal, person found me on myspace and recognized me, whatever I see like hundreds of people a week at work. So I log on today to this message “Hello Beautiful, Was great Seeing you today. i’m always so impressed with what you have to say. I think your really cute and i’d like to get to know you more then just fish talk. I don’t know if I should have said Anything to you like ‘hey I sent you message on myspace’ well i guess I’m just a little shy. I’ll say something next time and maybe the converstion will go beyond fish. I look forward to our next encounter – DF”
Wow.. so wtf… that really seems kind of scary. I mean tonight at work was really busy and I helped SO many people. I keep going over in my head everyone I came accross, what they bought, if they seemed creepy… really could have been anyone. But apparantly this person really likes me, knows where I work, comes in to see me, talks to me without me knowing their intentions, and then sends me creepy messages at the end of the day. I bet it’s like a 40 year old divorced mid life crisis suffering creep.  Lucky for me I don’t have this linked up on my Myspace or I’m sure they’d be jacking to the pic’s in the gallery right now. Hopefully this person will step forward soon so I can become a bitch and scare them off… or file a restraining order -_-

Lets end on a happy note: watching TV today I learned and extremely funny new fact… There is a large frog that is worshiped in Peru by the natives as a god… the Frog lives in lake Titicaca and it’s Latin name translates to “aquatic scrotum” because well… it has a lot of loose skin that resembles a scrotum. Aquatic scrotum frog from lake Titicaca… who the hell comes up with this?
