Corn Maze

Soo looking at my car stats, I figured out. If I do drive across country at approx 2,796 miles to NC, at today's price of gallon of lets just say $4, it's gonna take me (rounded up) nearly $400 of gas to get to NC. That's on the average and without any detours.

Friday night I went to Jill's to drink but I didn't drink much that night and had more fun playing Cards Against Humanity. It's Apples to Apples, but better.

Yesterday, Eddy and I headed to his dad's house and we had BBQ food and then went to Del Osso Family Farms. We went in the haunted house first and I could barley move because Eddy's sisters were clenching onto my wrist the entire time and kept their head down moving slowly. Eddy and I lead they way and we were trying to walk faster but they wouldn't let us. That house didn't even scare me.

Then the corn maze. We didn't get very far and it was pretty hot. We went in the entrance and we ended up coming out the entrance. Didn't get to go on the bridge inside the maze. I would have loved to do the rope course or zip lines but oh well, the place was packed and expensive.

Maybe I'll get to go back for the Holiday version at the end of November or sometime December to go Ice Skating and see the pretty lights and hopefully it will be a lot colder!

I enjoy cold weather :3

Kippu!

 Yesterday I got hit on by a bum at the car wash while cleaning out my car in the morning x_X He came over to my window as I was leaving and said "I enjoyed watching you clean out your car, but I'm not a pervert or anything." Umm, yes you are...

I then picked up Kate and Kayla, got breakfast and cash out at S-mart and we headed up to San Francisco. The GPS took us to a one way street ACROSS from the parking garage. Cmon stupid devices, srsly? But we got there ok.

We hit up the Auto freak store first and Kayla and I bought air fresheners for our cars. Then we went to play Taiko no Tatsujin (Taiko Drum Master) in the arcade, Pika Pika Purikura for a picture set and we headed over to Kippu Japanese Cuisune across the street for my Chicken Teriyaki and Miso soup. I actually tried a lil bit of sushi rolls and they weren't too bad. I swear my taste buds are starting to change these last few months tremendously. I like really hot foods now (no, I'm not preggorz).

 Doesn't that hurt your eyes?

Then we went to Daiso and Ichi Ban Kan for our dollar goodness. It's like a Japanese version of a dollar store but waaay better than any american dollar store I've ever been to. This is where i spent a good chunk of my money on cute stuff like this:

 (click to enlarge, as always)

Then we visited Kinokunya, where Kayla enjoyed her Yaoi moments and I desired a haircut by that hot Asian man. But that beauty salon is expensive (women's haircut is $65 and up) so maybe next time I come?

We went to a few more stores after having Sophie's Crepes. My favorite Crepe is always the Vanilla Ice cream with whipped cream, banana's and chocolate syrup.

 Those two always have those expressions xD

Then we headed home to Big Mike's house to help him set up internet and Kayla picked up her mail. Then In N Out and I fell asleep while watching a Halloween show then took Kate and myself home near 2am.

I can't wait for Halloween and yet I don't even know what I'll be doing that night.

Lone Wanderer

 (Taking a break from shopping with Lemonade lol)

On Saturday Kazumi and I went shopping all day long @_@ I didn't want to spend, but I bought that Skeleton Hoodie I wanted last year at Hot Topic but they ran out of my size so I finally got it for this year. I also got some discounted shirts at Rue21, a pen at Hobby Lobby, and some stuff at Ulta Beauty.

Today I redeemed most of my Mystery Shopping points from Savemart connection for a $25 gift card to CVS. Free makeup ;]

Tomorrow Eddy and I are running to the mall early to try to find a clear stud for my lip piercing and I'm gonna try on a dress that I wanna order for Halloween. Also maybe I can get those black skinny jeans at Macy's. After a short shift at work, I plan to have dinner with Kazu, Eddy and Chan again.

How did you know?

On Sunday after work, I picked up Kayla and took her to Applebee's where Eddy and Chan held a table for us for 2 hours lol;; Apparently they won a display at the Vanguard tournament. After Kayla and I went to CVS, Wal-mart and random places and then to Eddys house to look through the cards we just bought.

Eddy twisted his ankle so I went to Tracy without him yesterday to hang out with JEEL who bought us some Tequila to try and we just played a lot of Pokemmo and stuff. Trying to get my Eevee into an Espeon. XD

TILT

This past weekend, Edwin took me to Tracy to stay at JEELS and also to meet his dad's side of the family. After chilling all day Friday playing games and molesting Cory, I ended meeting Eddys' dad's side and they were all very nice, including his little sister Fiona who kept starring at me but eventually warmed up. XD we ate at Golden Corral and indulged in dipping strawberries into the chocolate fountain for dessert. 

Afterward, Eddy, his sisters and I went to the mall and we played at TILT arcade for awhile. I bought Fiona some Pokemon cards as well as for myself and Eddy bought 3 decks. After we went to a birthday party at Hometown Buffet (first time I ate at two buffets in one day in my life), Eddy and I took Fiona around the mall and we joked around in the Spirit Halloween store, looking at costumes and stepping on the buttons for the animatronic monster displays. We carried her around the mall via piggyback and helped her mom pick out her dress for April's wedding.

Finally Eddy and I went home to retire and we played Pokemon with Aaron, a 3 way battle and found out one of the decks was very broken/OP. A lot of the weekend consisted of watching them all play Pokemmo (< link) in which I discovered and they have all bypassed me very fast. I'm still on the S.S Anne xD

Basically Pokemmo is playing Fire Red for GBA but online with hundreds of other people. Growlithe is my strongest so far, which Eddy nabbed for me in a giveaway :3

On Tuesday, Eddy and I had the day off and we ate at Tommys Cafe and watched the new Resident Evil Retribution. Which, like all Resident Evil movies was inconclusive and not that great XD; But Wesker is best president ;]

Intoxicate me now, with your loving now.

Eddy took me for a nice bike ride around Oak Grove Park. We played on the playground, chased Geese and sat in the shade to relax and drink Guava. It felt nice to just run around in nature for a few hours with no one else really around.

We wanted to go on the paddle boat and visit the nature center but we have to come back on a weekend sometime for that.

One night while I was closing at work, Eddy came after he got off work and waited two hours for me to get off at midnight. Just so we could go to Aldabertos and get burritos and then go to his house and gaze at the stars on the back of his truck.

But we ended up sleeping on the back of his truck all night. I woke up cold to a blinding sun. It was quite a different experience XD

He didn't want his picture taken lol

Norcal to North Carolina

I had a red-eye flight on August 19th at 10:20pm and ended up in a middle seat =/ for about a 7 hour flight from Sacramento to North Carolina. Couldn't sleep cause of that. But I made friends with the lady next to me on the plane. Finally, when I decided to bust out the PSP, the plane landed shortly after. I was restarting my game file on Star Ocean 1.

My brother and Alley picked me up and took me to Waffle House-which was delicious and cheap. Immediately, I noticed how green and country like North Carolina was and that it was humid (my brother said that humidity then was nothing compared to how it normally is) and was raining hard on and off. 

My brother Kevin and Alleys house.

I took a long nap the first day. Can't remember much of the first night. I know I got to see a bunch of random stores like Family Dollar, and ate at Outback Steakhouse where I noticed how often "Ya'all" was said. I got my lip re-pierced on Tuesday morning and that same night we watched people sing Karaoke at Kickback Jacks after Spice World on TV.

A good amount of time, my brother and I spent burning Sega Saturn games because he got a modded Sega Saturn on Craigslist. I swear that was one of my most favorite systems growing up. I finally got to play Christmas NiGHTS after 15 years of waiting (it's a rare demo to find). 

Alley did my hair on Thursday. It was the first time I've had my hair professionally dyed at a salon (been doing it myself for years) and the first time I've had real highlights. I lurve it so far. Got a lot of compliments on it at work! :]

Shopping at Food Lion for my party Friday before my brother had to take me to the airport about 2am in the morning.

I was really sad to leave. The only people that make it worth returning home for was my parental units, Kayla and Edwin. Everything else, I could honestly leave here behind in a heartbeat. There's nothing left for me to learn/do in Stockton.

So now I must weigh decision in the back of mind everyday, of if I wanna move out there next year or not.

Eddy and I went river rafting the next day Sunday on Stanislaus River. It was a LOT of work compared to American River. The American River, you can just float there on the raft 98% of the time and just drift and nothing will really ever happen. At Stanislaus, if you aren't constantly paddling with the oars every 2 minutes, then you will hit some sharp bushes, sharp rocks, get stuck on rocks etc. And it had a lot more rapids. No wonder Jill told me she didn't wanna go back to that river. It was still fun though.

The raft hit a rock at one point early on, we ricochet'd so hard that I fell off. Eddy's family had to grab me. The camera I had clutched went under the water in the rapids and surprisingly sunk straight to the bottom. Rodney had to stop the rapids as much as he could by positioning our raft and reach deep for the camera in ice cold water which took awhile. I felt bad, I would never want anyone to risk their life for my camera, but at least he got the camera back. I still have yet to test it but at least I got all our camera pics and footage prior to that happening.
