Man, it's been a while...

So, I've been busy, in a sense.

On Tuesday, I had my first date with a friend I haven't seen in over two years. We're good friends, and being such he offered that I get to experience my first date. A friendly hangout. So we did. We ate at California Pizza Kitchen for lunch and then watched "Hancock" afterwards. The movie was ok, but it got really lame towards the ending. Oh well. Then after that, we passed by a used-music store that was well-known in the city only to find that it's going out of business and there's a huge sale. So, naturally, to support the establishment one last time, I shopped there!

I bought:

Dido and Aeneas opera CD.
Beethoven's 9th Symphony
The Three Tenors CD
Castle of Cagliostro
and Rocky.

So good deals! I'm really sad that the store is closing, though D: It's hard to find unique music stores nowadays that adds to the local color of your hometown.

But back to my date. I think that two years of not seeing each other felt a little odd to me. And during that time, I confirmed that I have no special feelings whatsoever towards my friend. So while I see it as two friends hanging out, he tried to make an effort to make it feel like a date for me. Now that I experienced that firsthand, I really kind of wished he didn't. Oh well. It was still fun.

Now, things to do:

Take the English Assessment test to test into English 110 for SBCC.
Attend my 18th birthday banquet
and then attend the 18th birthday of another friend on a cruise ship later that night.

But the first one might be a bit of a challenge to do. While I'm worried about whether or not I can write coherent essays, I also realized that I don't have any cash to take the bus to downtown at the college. Which is all kinds of misfortune.

Speaking of cash, I miss the tips I get at Cold Stone's... I need to inform my boss that my extended break is over and i wish to work again. But he doesn't respond to my emails! I need to go to the store and make a note for him one of these days.

Also, I've been writing fanfiction (of which I published in Fanfiction.net!), which is pretty exciting, because I already got 6 reviews and numerous story alerts. That gave me a lot of motivation to continue- I'm not a loser!

But I also developed this feeling that although I love what I'm writing (Persona 3 fanfiction), I also dreaded what I published, because I felt that it's crap to the rest of the world. *Holds head in anguish*

Is that a common feeling? It's like something out of "Whisper of the Heart" if it's more specific on what I'm feeling.
