hey so i still exist! ;p i know y'all are sooooo happy ^_~ and for more fun here's another pic of me in my corset from fanime. yay someone actually had a pic of me in my whole outfit ^^ (liz is going to kill me for posting that but oh well~ >3) at some point i need to get around to finding the few other pics i have >.>;

so things wot i've been up to~ two saturdays ago carrie and i went to a glass blowing class ^_^ i suck at it! but it was fun and i'm glad we went. it's kinda hard cause you really have to use your arm and wrist a lot and i am a wuss with heat ^^;; also the guy teaching it was kinda a hippy and not the best teacher. but again, still fun and glad we went ^^

this last saturday a huge group of us went bar hopping in the castro for one of the trio's bday. i was the designated and hugely enjoyed watching drunken shenanigans >3 and several of them were, really drunk that is ^^; also i have decided if i have to go dancing i much prefer the super packed dance floors where all you can do is kind of wiggle. this way i can hide my TOTAL LACK OF RHYTHM ;p and when they are packed with gay men you don't have to worry about getting groped ^^;

also fun was herding drunken peeps back to the car and then getting lost on the way to the highway with only drunken peeps to give directions ^^;; but we made it home! and a few others came with as well. so then we had random nudity and eating of cold pizza and toast. the trio slept over at our place and we went to bed around 4:30 ish >.o tired neko was tired the next day. so we did nothing! it was awesome :)

this weekend is pride and noming at the park while watching one of the parades ^_^

fun weekend was fun ^_^ friday i went to see the movie hanna with carrie. was really interesting and i rather liked the music. saturday hung out with liz and devon and ran errands etc. we made him watch new trek cause he hadn't seen it. the poor boy was subject to all our random sayings and words and quirky weirdness ;p i swear liz and i have our own language ^^; saturday night liz and i went with charrise to see hugh jackman perform a one man show. it was AWESOME! we had so much fun and he was sooooo fabulous~ such a great singer, i really wish i could have seen him in oaklahoma

sunday was more bumming around the house and errands and a lovely walk around the lake in the late afternoon ^_^ and liz made her super yummy cuban black beans and rice for dinner. OM NOM NOM NOM!!! :d also we watched kiss kiss bang bang which i had never seen. so random, so horribly awesome. poor rdj always getting beat up ^^;

hmm i feel like i had other things to say but now i've forgotten (whats new~?) sleepy neko is sleepy and full of spicy tuna sushi :dddd

i have new music! and i am caught up (mostly) with my pics!! OMG YO that's like accomplishment or some shit~! :p new pics are here they do not include ycon pics as that is the family friendly account ;p though speaking of ycon here's a pic someone else took of me :p the amount of happy experienced in that pic is not definable by words other than ajflkdsjfskldjfdskl TALL NOM NOM :d why yes those are the two tallest bishi at the whole con >3

so what have i been up to? *tries to remember* :p last friday after work i met up with carrie, liz, and several of her peeps for drinks at a bar. which started out with wandering as the bar opened later than they should on a friday. but then we got in and someone had an awesome coupon so we got lots of noms and drinks for hella cheap ^_^ and silliness was had by all. the next (groggy) day i went into sf to meet up with tree at a french soul food place of tasty noms. the wait is always at least an hour to get a table, that's how you know~ it's good. i had sweet potato pancakes with pecan syrup *_* omfg NOMS. then we went to the asian museum for the last day of the japanese screen exhibit. pretty awesome. then wandered down to the mission for shoppins at all the random fun places. and we found a liz who was taking around helena and bf (both in town visiting) we walked around and then had dinner and liz bought awesome stuff (girl is a shopaholic right now ;p)

and this week pondy and j came over for dinner on tuesday and we were supposed to watch white collar but it wouldn't dl fast enough. so the next night we went over to their place and they made us food and we watched it then ^_^ omg i'm soooo glad white collar is back! <3

friday tree and i went to a talk by joel salatin who owns polyface farms and is a famous sustainable farmer. it was pretty awesome and we got to see angie for a brief bit (she helped set up the whole talk) aaaand yesterday liz and i went into sf to meet up with carrie, liz's coworker jen and friend for brunch :d coconut pancakes with ginger syrup *_*_*_* then liz, carrie, and i went to shop at the vendors for the edwardian ball. mmm steampunk etc all around~ we all ended up getting hair pieces :) i looove mine but there was another one i REALLY wanted too. it was too expensive but soo pretty~ then they drug me all around town because they wanted bubble tea D: but then they fed me sushi :) today i haven't done much and that was nice ^_^

hellllllllllllllllllllloooooooo flist! :p i'm feeling good(ish) right now as i feel like i got a few things accomplished and! went to a small anime convention yesterday with skrit ^_^ we saw the guy who played prince humperdink in the princess bride, that was pretty cool! and we went to a panel that had the voice actors (english of course) for roy mustang (travis) and lust (laura). they were SO super cute and funny!! we got teh awesome up front center seats <3 and then got in line for autographs after ^^ they were so fun and laid back and cute and silly ^^

and and! i got a cute kitty eared beanie and some steam punk goggles! ( woot! pics! )

ps- forgot to mention we found an AWESOME churro place near the convention hotel. we had fresh DELICIOUS churros :d

yesterday i drove down to monterey to go whale watching~! it was a nice day and the trip was about 3 and half hours. at first we didn't see much, though we did see risso's dolphins that i've never seen before <3 we saw two hump back whales but they only came up to breathe a few times and then went away. i was glad we saw that but was hoping to see more. then on the way back the captain spotted some whales and even though they could have said oh well and took us back we detoured to go see them (the tour guide lady was so excited!) it turned out there was a blue whale which haven't been seen too much lately! it was estimated at 70 feet long o.o then as we tried to near it we found some more energetic hump backs that decided to come near us! <3 we even got to see a tail! (pic below) and as we were docking we got to see a sea otter eating its dinner <3 though i had sunscreen, shades, a hat, and even pulled my hood up at some points, my cheeks are a bit red and my eyes feel sunburnt as well. horray for light reflection off the water. (srsly i don't know how people who don't wear sunglasses do it)

after that i walked back to the monterey aquarium since they have late hours now and it was so nice and empty compaired to when i'm usually there! i got some good pics of jelly fish <3! and some of the sea horses <3!! i need a new camera that has better zoom though~

today i've mostly slept and rested while surfing or watching anime. i was out around 13 hours yesterday and drove a total of 4 hours so i was quite beat when i got home!
unfortunatly it hasn't been as restful as it could. i feel very wound up about work (not necessarily for any reason) and (updated) we just *narrowly* avoided going through a very bad public transporation strike that would have *crippled* the bay area. if they really have resolved it this is a HUGE weight off my shoulders! *keeps fingers crossed*
