Fanime 2012

.

Meet me out in Space!

Yesterday, after getting off work at 3, I got Kazumi and I some David's Pizza and we ate at her work at Bear Creek High School in a diner room. She then took me on a golf cart tour of the school. Haha my phone messes up when converting the files but it made it funnier:

Then afterward, I went to Tracy and Jill and all of us piled into Prizm and headed to Wingstop which is right next to the Save Mart store I originally was hired/worked at. I had Teriyaki and Lemon pepper boneless wings <3 They were delish!

Then back at the house, we took some shots and played some games. Jill, Meg and I all took turns playing on my LoL account. But I was pretty much too drunk to really play. Meg, Aaron and I passed out on the couch later and I went to sleep about 4:30am. Then I woke up at 6am and couldn't fall back asleep and got ready and headed back to Stockton, straight to work jajaja.

I'm working at a different Save Mart tomorrow/for the week. I'm excited for a change of scenery xD

Fanime in 6 days!

RIP Imogene Whipple

So last weekend was a good weekend. After coming home from Jill's party early in the morning, I was greeted by my brother Kevin visiting in Stockton. We went up as a family to Murphy's and greeted everyone there for my Grandma's funeral.

But I nearly shed tears when one of my mom's relatives named Lisa came up to me and told me and Kevin that the last time they visited my grandma in the hospital before she passed, they had their ipad out and they were showing pictures of me and Kevin that were on my mom's Facebook to her. And my grandma smiled and the nurse came in and was shocked and claimed that, that was the first time she ever really smiled. Then my grandma passed a few days later. Lisa said she musta passed contently seeing the current pics of me and Kevin.

We then had the pastor read prayers and hymns etc and my mom, uncle Steve and Lisa went up and shared memories of my grandma. Then voluntarily, Kevin and I went up and did an impromptu speech about our Grandma. I recalled to the audience of how Grandma had always been into nature, going to Big Tree's or the Moaning Caverns etc. How I visited Stories & Stones with her when I came to see her. How she liked frogs and had an electronic sensor frog that creeked on her front porch when you walked by. How I ran off to the creek behind her house to play and she encouraged it but my parents were afraid of me getting kidnapped and didn't like me doing so. How she taught me to float on my back (kinda) at the community pool by the cabin.

 Kevin added his input saying we would go to her house to have fun and she would have some kinda job for us like raking or learning to play the piano xD But all in all, I realize she was a really good person inside and I'm sad I couldn't have spent more of my adult life with her.

My Grandma Imogene was a person of the written word. She would write to people to change things, her input of political stands, protesting the rainforests from being cut down. Etc. She kept every single letter and card she got. She kept copies of her most influential and important letters.

 

Afterward at the reception, I had a sandwich and my mom was given a copy of the family tree from her side of the family. My brother pointed out to me how we always flocked to dad's side of the family more. As we went and stood around Uncle Dennis and Aunt Karen when they had arrived xD;;
 

We tried going to the Murphy's park afterward but it was so packed. I had never seen so many people in Murphy's before when I went there growing up! It looks to be like a hot spot for hipsters now x_X

Afterward my brother played Pepsiman on PSone at our house  -_-;; he bought that game from Kuwait for me years ago! Then we went on an adventure at Safeway and had dinner at Outback Steak House. Later on, I drove Kevin to Rasputin and we shifted through several 50 cent CD's haha;; I found him a few PSone games that he may trade on Goozex later.

 

Then I took my bro to Wal-mart. What's there to do in Stockton? We literally walked circles around Wal-mart for an hour and a half, talking about life and things going on. It's weird how I never talk to him when he's at his home on the East Coast but bring him by for a day and it will be like he never left, like we are instant best siblings. But I plan to take a vacation in July/August and fly out to visit him and check out North Carolina. I may even consider moving out there but that's a whole nother scenario.

I took my brother to play Laser Tag at Zaps Zone but the guy messed up on selling us tickets and we only got to play one game. So I have 4 free sessions for the next visit.

I took Kevin to get a Slurpee and we went home and crashed. I woke up around 8am and was having anxiety for some reason. Dad made us breakfast and when I went to pour myself a glass of chocolate soymilk, I dropped it all over myself x_X I cleaned it up and could barley eat breakfast and spent the next few minutes crying about how clumsy I am, and how I would miss my brother while I went to work.
