good grief

I knew I shouldn't have complained so much about nobody commenting. *sigh*

Well, I have now officially survived Katy's birthday party. (Although her dad would not let Nojh drive me home. My parents would have, had they been there to comment, but no, he had to make it more complicated because he had taken responsibility for returning me to my house. To me, that just means "You don't have to come get her," but apparently to him it means "I'll drive her home personally." Parents.) And I saved the Earth! (Video games.) Although really, why is it that when the aliens try to escape you want to blow up their spaceship? One would think you would be immediately attacked by a mob of Earthlings: "You moron! We WANT them to leave!" But no, if you blow up the spaceship you are immediately lauded as having saved the planet. (Yes, I have played this game way too much. Shut up.)

And I forgot about the candles. So instead of her getting to blow out candles, somebody decided to shove cake in her face (I thought that was weddings...) and missed. She spent many minutes sulking while cake was removed from her hair.

The rest of this entry is written directly to my friend Sean. Those of you who are not Sean are free to read it anyway, but do not allow it to confuse you.

Sean. You are a very dear friend and a wonderful person. Possibly a little TOO wonderful. Yes, I have complained about people not commenting. That does not mean you have to go through and comment on every single entry in my journal. I really do appreciate getting comments, but please, restrain yourself until you have something of vital importance to say, or something I say really makes you think, or it appears to be a point of major crisis in my life and you feel like being supportive, or whatever. *hugs* Please?

oh, my God

I just remembered I'm leaving for Japan tomorrow...

Oh, my God.

(no subject)

Personality Disorder Test results (since everyone else seems to be posting them):

Paranoid - Moderate
Schizoid - Low
Schizotypal - Moderate
Antisocial - Low
Borderline - Moderate
Histrionic - Low
Narcissistic - Moderate
Avoidant - Moderate
Dependent - Low
Obsessive-Compulsive - High

As if any of that comes as a surprise (although honestly I had to look up several of them before I was sure that it was unsurprising)...

So. Early tomorrow morning, off to Japan, knowing a grand total of 10 words (max) of Japanese (not including, unfortunately, the vital phrases "I don't speak Japanese" and "Does anyone here speak English?"), unable to identify any potentially edible food except for noodles... at least I'll be the only one in our group who can succesfully eat with chopsticks. Eek.

Has anyone noticed that I completely fail to express my thoughts and feelings in this journal? (I'm not sure why, but I've been thinking about that a lot today. I blame my OTHER diary, the one you people are not allowed to read.) I tend to just chronicle the events of the day. Or, more accurately, I do write down emotions, but only the surface ones. Ugh, now I'm beginning to regret even starting this paragraph. If you've actually read this far, would you mind forgetting about it?

I am becoming very, very hyper. I need to go do a million jumping jacks or something (but in reality all I'm going to do is sit like a lump in front of the TV). Next installment may not be until early August. Be patient.
