Oh my gahd. So yeah... Everyone is gone now. All my lovely Japanese friends are back home. But we're e-mailing and Eri-chwan and I will be visiting one day (soon hopefully). More reason to try harder to get a job and save money properly. But luckily enough, Eri-chwan visited today and it was fun. She, my sister and I played Mario Party 8 but in the end we had to take turns playing as my sister's character because she was attempting to make okonomiyaki (which I made for dinner and breakfast, addicted much!?). But it was all fun. Of course, Eri-chwan reminded me one of the most important topics of our trip to San Francisco with Koiji... death! Yes, we basically kind of pllaned out our death's. It was funny but really pathetic and bubblingly dark when you think about it. Such good... dark... times. Haha. And I finally got to return to the mall... and I had money!! It was torture going there with so many effing great sells and not a penny to my name. That's right, not even a penny. And I went to today and only got sticker and papers from Sanrio. But it's of my fav characters at least! I wanted something Tenorikuma and Rirrakuma though too, and they even had an Astroboy... thing... I wanted. Dang. Always next time.

In the meantime, just preparing for college and getting myself tempered and trying to get some real self control. I wanted to go to sleep early but I realize even now it's 1 AM while I thought it was only 12 at least. Shame. Damn shame. More importantly, I haven't been drawing like I want to and a majority of the time it's completely myself to blame. Starting tomorrow, I'm hopefully going to make way more efforts. Someone who wants to be a manga-ka can't draw like this... however! If I stick to only teaching English, then maybe it can be a side hobby and I wouldn't have to worry about it anyway. Though lately, I think it would be awesome to get into the game industry and do art there. But I'll just see where the future takes me (with effort on my part). I'm also resolving to clean my room. Yesterday I cleaned and vaccuumed and then my sister came over... and it looks like a tornado hit. What the comesoutofthebottomhole?? I'm really gonna have to clean everything next time, air out the room, light some incense and then not have any company at all for a very long time. Maybe it'll be more relaxing and easier to draw in too. I hope!

And for the most important topic... NiGHTS! I'm disappointed and not with everything coming out. The kids I love, and them shooting projectiles I can stand, but other things make me iffy and with all the previews it slowly seems less NiGHTS, but still something really great. I hope it's good. HM ToS/P still looks awesome though and I really want a PSP (ToW:Radiant Mythology!). So many great games, but NiGHTS is the one I want and I'm hoping it's good. It's also been pushed back... I hope that's not just so they can give him a voice!
