Pantaro’s new cage

We happened to see a Petco that was having a closing sale, and everything left in the store was 75% off! Not that much was left, but we got Pantaro a new cage for about $7, original price: $30. I also got her a new ball to run in, a strawberry house, and a carrying cage.

She loves her new cage. She loves it so much, overnight, she filled the top part thing with pinestraw and food, and now refuses to come down. : ( See the black and white furry thing on the top?

Strawberry house: abandoned and emptied. Everything was moved to the top.

But! She loves her new cage. And she’s a lot happier in it. So… win!

Why are there so many midterms and projects and crap the week of Halloween? Instead of going trick-or-treating, I have to spend all my time cramming. Lose.

I <3 Stuffed Animals

Okay, so one phase I will never, ever grow out of: stuffed animals. I have a crap-load of them, I still want them, and it makes me so happy to receive one. Of course they have to be cute, not demented looking. : )

Lookit all the cuuteee stuffed animals Michael has gotten me (there’s lots more but these are the most recent, kinda.) The chickie is a cellphone holder. And the hamster has a cute little crab on it.

A close-up of the lion. It has stubby feet, and its round. Important criteria for cute stuffies. hehee.

AWA was really fun. So was JapanFest! All these season premiers and then keeping up with them, I’ve become a dl-tv-shows-and-watch-them addict. And the anime Clannad started airing too, I cant wait for someone to sub it so I can watch it!

Exams are really kicking my butt. I always feel really bleh after them, and then getting the grades back is even more bleh. And they always occur the same week too. But! Zelda Phantom Hourglass is realllyyyy fun!! And Fall Break is this weekend, so I can have time to get much-needed sleep, game, and just relax.

Lots to do.

I’ve been having a lot of food cravings lately. Sushi Yoko. Waffle House. Fried chicken and biscuits. Fogo de Chao. Chili’s country fried steak. On the Border. mmmm… :3

Mixed cds (remember middle/high school?) are embarrassingly cheesy, but still sweet. So are random flowers. or candles. or little toys. I got my hamster a new toy. It’s a wood thing with a nut in the middle for her to chew on. I think she likes it.

Drawn to Life is the best ds game ever. Nothing like seeing your drawings being used in the game. Or if you drew your character to just look plain.. absurd. teehee.

I miss my dog so much. I think I go home just to see her.

She loves my bed. <3 I got a new mattress, so I gave her my old full-size mattress. I just put it on the floor of my room, and put an old sheet over it. She loves it. She’s 12 anyways, so needs extra cushion to rest on.

I’m looking forward to this upcoming week. It’ll be busy, but fun. A group project due. 2 exams. Movie screening with boyfriend. And AWA (Anime Weekend Atlanta) this coming weekend -> I get to see my 2 bestest friends again. Then following that weekend, on Monday, Heroes and How I Met Your Mother starts. And on Tuesday, House and Law&Order SVU starts. And… more shows start later in the week too, like, The Office, Ugly Betty, Burn Notice already started, Simpsons… And and I get to make snacks with my sweetie and watch the shows. <3 Well maybe I should concentrate on surviving my exams first. :P

First 3 weeks of School etc.

I’m quite proud of myself actually, of my 4 classes, I havent skipped a single class for 3 of them. One of them however, cough, is too early in the morning. And I have issues waking up early for class. Time to start hardcore studying so that I can ace my first round of exams. Except it seems the more busy classes are, the more I just sit here and play games or watch stuff on my computer. I seem to have a lot of random thoughts on my mind that come and go often, and repeat.

IKEA had it’s first annual crayfish (crawfish) and meatball buffet this past Thursday. It was absolutely delicious. The meatballs are super good with all the sauces. And crawfish is crawfish. Yum-my.

I was never really into shopping, but lately, amongst many other changes, I adore American Eagle. Almost everything they have is just so cute. Too bad its so expensive compared to other stores like Charlotte Russe.

To me, its kinda scary (and unsettling) to hear about how exactly similar you are to your boyfriend’s ex. Of course everyone’s different yadda yadda and I’m special yadda. But when there’s just so many similiarities (in hobbies, clothes, families, backgrounds, appearance, likes) it IS kinda like… puke. I mean, of course my boyfriend is the superr sweetest ever and duh isnt stupid enough to tell me “omg, my ex loved that too” but other people… many little offhand remarks add up big time. Or the biggest one of all: “wow you remind me of his ex a lot. You guys are really alike.” well shit. Thanks. Of course I dont personally know her, so its not like I can compare myself, and no one knows her as well as my boyfriend, but if the general consensus of the friends population is “wow very similiar” then obviously something is similiar. On another note, if someone said “Omg why is he dating you? You’re soooo different from his ex”, that would be insulting too. So I think after all this ranting, bottomline is, why the hell cant people just NOT comment to me about his ex all the time? I mean come on, when you meet your friend’s new girl/boy, and then talk to them later, do you talk about your friend’s ex to them? Am I missing something? ><;;

My dorm also has really soft and nice (egyption cotton!) sheets, comforter cover, down comforter, and pillows. I love just cuddling into the comforter and not coming out for a very, very long time. Just wait until winter, I’ll have a permanent nest in them. <3
