Ah, yes, 'tis been a while since I posted, yes? Well, it's not like I've been away from the computer at all, but I've been lazy...
Well, it's July 4th. Happy birthday America! And happy early birthday to me too! I'm going to be 20 tomorrow. 
Yeah, I'm surprised. Pheonix (my brother) is trying to convince me that it's no big deal, but I'm still amazed. One of my favorite songs is 19Sai, the opening for xxxHolic, and I was happy because it coincided with my age when I first discovered it. But now that won't be true anymore. *big sigh* Anyway, I'm not sure if I'll actually get anything huge, because Mom's work is lowering her hours, so there goes that extra money... (Dad's the big money maker though. Y'know, for the bills and stuff.) Anyway, I'll be twenty. I don't care about drinking alcohol, so the 21th birthday probably won't be a big deal.
So, another awesome fireworks show is probably in the offing next door tonight. Our next door neighbor is a fireworks fiend. He's a soldier too, in the army. (Support the troops, not the war.) Anyway, he always has such awesome fireworks. Both on the fourth and the new year. It's so fun! Their daughter, who we babysit sometimes and just turned ten, is super cute and fun to play with. She doesn't understand the appeal of anime though. Ah, well.
See you people when I see you!
Three, count 'em, three small storms ran through this afternoon. It was... eventful.
So, I wrote this back in '04. It takes place a few months after the end of Yu-Gi-Oh! that I had imagined back then. It centers on Ryo Bakura leaving, in a way, to escape the tomb robber. I call them by their anime dub names, because that's what...

No, not my graduation, my brother graduated from High School. Quite the achievement, that. Especially considering the senior-itus he was having. But a bunch of people came to the party. My grandparents (on my dad's side, my mom's parents passed away a while back) came up from PA with my Aunt C. and a bunch of my brother's friends came over as well as his girlfriend. One of his friends was Laska, whom he hopes to room with. Laska (who is actually the name of one of his characters, but we call him that anyway) is the sort of person I could get a crush on if I was around him enough. He's tall and lanky, pretty strong, and has a varied array of characters, one of which acts very similar to Gaara of Naruto. Besides, Laska has the same birthday as me, and has Aspergers as well! What do you guys think?
Tuesday was gawd-awful. It was soooo damn hot! I'm so glad the AC didn't break down at work. However, we did have hail that day, when a storm moved through. Little tiny stuff though. I think I came down with something that day, because at dinner (we went out to eat) I felt very ill. I went home and went to bed early. I stayed home on Wednesday, because I still felt pretty poorly. Yesterday morning, Mom looked into my throat and went "Eeeewwww." I apparently had white puss-ish things on the back of my throat. So we went to the doctor. Apparently I don't have Strep Throat, which is why I went back to work today. But, it still hurts to swallow, which hopefully will pass. Otherwise everything is good.
Ah yes, my grades. I got a b- in the class where I didn't do good on the final... which is a relief. I probably got boosted up by my great lab grades. I didn't do as well as I did in my fall semester (Dean's List, oh yeah!) but I still did pretty well. I'm so glad!
