Lesson learned: you can't make your way through life putting things off until the last minute.

Anyway, all of the Harry Potter showings are sold out. ;A;

Which is funny. Because I used to buy my tickets the day they went on sale, and everyone would make fun of me.

So I actually waited--albeit too long.

Balls.

But I am relieved, because Nick called me at work to tell me Florence was missing, and I rushed home and found her under a car in the parking lot cowering. She's fine, a little dehydrated, but fine. She came in and drank a lot of water, and then went to sleep in the bedroom.

Also my copy of the Kamikaze Girls novel arrived today, god bless you paperbackswap.

I guess my night off can be applied to recatalogueing my pokemon collection. I want to maybe make either a collections journal, or just a page on my sales journal for collections. I dunno.

Oh well. I guess I'll sit at home and read comic books for the rest of the night.

Balls.

I ended up staying home sick from work today.

I hate that shit.

Last night I started having a panic attack around, like 8:30 or so, and around 9:30 (half an hour after close, while there were still guests in the store) I ran to the restroom and was--sick. For most of the night I had a fever, and got out of bed several times thinking I was going to be sick.

Nick (and Jamie K at work) both suggested that it might be stress. I don't really know what I'm stressing out about, but I guess that could be it. At work I was thinking that it was heat sickness, I've always been susceptible to heat and elevation sickness, so it made sense to me. It gets so hot at work, and it was worse than ever yesterday all night.

Pfft.

I hate having to stay home, but I do have to go out to Red Apple later and get cat food, I'm completely out and Florence is giving me the guilt eyes from atop this plastic set of drawers she's laying on.

And I'm getting hungry again, so I might make soup before I go.

Oh man, after that whole battery fiasco, my Zune is finally up and running. It's currently resyncing. Also, it is a fair relief to know that I'm not completely incapable of installing a battery. I was actually worried about that, it's nice to know the old battery WAS a dud.

Yes. YES it is a good thing.

I'm starting to catch why everyone hates Celga. Seriously.

So, I'm getting ready to have my stuff shipped over here, I request shipping, and I think, okay, this shouldn't be over, like 300g. They say it's 280g, so I'm like, great! Shipping by SAL should be about five or six dollars according to the JP Post website. Awesome! Now we just wait for my invoice...

And they're charging me $30 to ship, what? A sticker, a TOMY figure, and a Zukan figure. By SAL. Which only leaves me to wonder, DEAR GOD, what they'd charge me for EMS. Seriously, their markup is INSANE. It's MIND BOGGLING. I can't even comprehend it!

I already paid out the wazoo in fees and everything they charge, I even paid the Bank Wire Transfer fee, when the seller accepted other forms of payment. Can I just kill them dead please? I am so incredibly beyond filled with anger about this.

I can't even bring myself to pay the bill until I get home, I need to calm down about it a little bit.

Christ, frickin' Celga. It's not worth it. Nothing is worth it to me to use a deputy service again. I am so done with them.

In other news: off to work.

Man, I feel like today has gone on FOREVER. >_>

Work wasn't bad, it just feels like it was yesterday that I was at work. I got home, got the mail, and found a little cutie waiting in the mail box for me!

He's made out of this super soft minky fabric, and I think he may be the best plush in my collection (apologetic glances to Jirachi Pokedoll, Squirtle UFO, and Electronic Celebi). He's BIG and SOFT and oh so huggable and yes I'm a geek.

Anyway. He went on an adventure, and I documented it. Which is to say he ran errands with me.

... And I took pictures.

So basically I feel like, right now, I see two completely different versions of myself, you know? Well, I mean, it's not the first time it's happened, but I can see a distinct dividing line the delineates the change.

I feel like there is Hayley before owning a coffee maker, and Hayley after owning a coffee maker.

And furthermore, I feel like the Hayley after owning is a better person.

The kind of person who does the dishes in the morning before work.

The kind of person who arrives at work appearing well rested and good for the day.

The kind of person who never forgets their frozen lunch on the counter at home to thaw over the course of the day.

Yes. Yes these changes are for the better.

Selling my desk, which I am kind of attached to.

My parents are bribing us to take a lot of excess furniture at their house, because Pat and Yolanda are moving to Arizona today, and they emptied out their storage unit as part of Spring Cleaning, so I'm taking an old desk of Tia's. Which will be more meaningful than my funky white vanity from St Vinny's, but, you know. I like my vanity and all it's funkiness. But it helps that, you know, now I live with a boy, and I can't have the girly dream room that I had when I lived with Pat.

The bonus is, we also got a lot of stuff we needed from Pat and Yola: A coffee maker, a blender, a vacuum, a new bookcase, some pots and pans, a really nice fan, and so on. So, it's not all bad.

I'll just miss my desk, that's all.

But, yes. We're sharing our first pot of coffee. I went to say goodbye to Pat/pick up stuff last night, so I got the coffee maker and cleaned it out, because it was quite dirty. I made myself sick from all the vinegar, lol.

But, yes.

New stuff. It's nice that everyone's getting into the spring cleaning habit, haha.

Off to finish my coffee.

Oh man. More of my pokedolls arrived. They went to my parents house! Which is probably my fault, but now I have Mudkip and Skymin, which makes me crazy happy. They dwell in happiness with Jirachi and Manaphy. And Darkrai, Bonsly, Treecko, and Turtwig. Wow too many pokedolls.

But, yes. I spent the day with my parents being aggravated and fixing their computers. I just hate it when people treat you like you're their little computer slave. And they made me buy CDs to transfer files from my dad's laptop to his desktop! It's was fucking ridiculous.

The only bonus was finding lots of DC Books and trading card sleeves in the garage. Because I can update my binders with the heaps of pokemon cards that are floating around my house currently.

But yes. Overall today was an aggravating day.

Which constitutes use of my newest commissioned icon!

God you know, I just love Black Jack. He is every kind of badass known to man. Really, I just can't get enough. I'm stoked that I bought so much at once, and volume six comes out next month I believe. Awesome.

Also, Transformers was thoroughly entertaining. I have to say that--well, it wasn't exactly a good movie but god did the explosions keep me occupied. However, I have decided that I am going to write an epic dissertation to send to Michael Bay detailing the need for there to be a scene where Skalor comes out of the water and fucks up some autobots. Because, seriously, lets make it happen.

Also, we watched a Michael Jackson DVD I bought last night, or part of it, and that was really nice. Though, when we were watching a performance from 1995 from, I think, the MTV Awards (I actually remember seeing it live, haha, on TV when I was eight) and he started singing "You Are Not Alone," I kind started crying again--a lot. But hopefully I won't break down at work again, ha ha.

Anyway.

Yes.

My parents apparently found several books on Pugs that they're going to give us. All I can imagine is that either Shaun lent them to Pat, or Pat got them out of a free box for Shaun (I presume Shaun was involved on account of Prudence). But, yeah, awesome. Books on Pugs.

And I love my Jirachi pokedoll. Maybe a little too much. :)

I think that a huge part of Michael Jackson's death affecting me was that it is this concrete proof of--the past is there. You can't go back. He was such a huge part of my childhood, and now I know that, well, I can't ever really go back to that childhood.

I really wish I had a copy of Moonwalker, though. I could really use it right about now. Just for a farewell to a fond memory of youth.

So, you know. I know. It'll all be good. Right, Mikey? I'll just keep smiling and imagine you flying through Neverland in the sky. I'm trying real hard.

To say that today has been an emotional day would be an understatement.

I guess that, really, I never imagined that at twenty-one years old I would be standing in the back room of electronics at Toys R Us crying over Michael Jackson.

That is to say, he was likely the first musician to really inspire me as a child, and to really grab my emotional being, as well as imagination.

And when it was said over the walkie-talkies what had happened, I felt like my stomach plummeted down to the ground.

Michael Jackson is dead.

And I don't know how I should be feeling right now.

God the apartment is in such a warzone right now, lol.

I decided that before I can put together my sales journal (i.e. photograph and price and describe everything) I need to finish cleaning. It's in italics, because it's DEEP. I've filled up like a quarter of the dumpster outside. As in, a multi-apartment dumpster. I should feel bad for throwing so much away, but nobody wants it.

It's a lot of birthday cards, drawings, and gifts from people. And I feel like doing this will officially finish wiping my life of all of that, which is perfect. Because then I can move on fully, without being reminded of it all.

But it has been emotional. I'm trying to throw away a lot of unnecessary papers and things that never made it into scrapbooks, but at one point I found Mr. McNeely's funeral program, and I cried. Quite a bit.

But yes, and so we may be at the end of a many year hordefest.

Plus, there's going to be a LOT more up on eBay soon!

A LOT more.

Also, in other news, I got four packages today. One of them was supposed to be a Zune battery, but inside the package was an Ipod Video Battery! I'm not sure if they're the same (a possibility) or if it's a misship, so I e-mailed the seller.

I also got an awesome Pokemon CD from Advanced Generation (yes for the best music) and that has been the accompaniment of my cleaning, lulz.

Anyway. Off to continue cleaning!

Tonight and Sunday (maybe some time tomorrow night) I need to go through my closet and drawers and do a major purging. Throwing away so much crap at my parent's house was spiritual in a way (at lease meaningful when I looked at that big pile of torn up sketchpads, and gift art and such in that garbage bag, it felt like I was getting rid of excess baggage) and I'm hoping I can get the same effect, if not a greater version thereof, by doing it at my own apartment. Plus I may come across some good potential eBay stuff.

It's part of this whole--casting off of the shackles of the past kind of thing. It feels good. Like I'm finally truly forgetting--all of that. Everything. I can focus on now for awhile, which is good.

I also need to get my sales journal completely set up. I've got it in this very vague state right now, but I need to post all of my junk onto it, and see where it goes.

Yes, this is a spiritual experience.

Also, I'm finding that if I don't ride my bike any given day, at the end of the day my calves hurt like a bitch, to the point where I can't sleep right away (an ability I typically pride myself on). So, I think I'm just going to make a point to--I dunno. Make sure I get out there, even if it's a day off. Even if it just means riding out to Smith Family, or Dutch Bros, or something. Just to get onto the bike and go.

I did that this morning. I rode out to the post office and the bank. It was nice. Early morning, not a whole lot of pedestrians clogging the bike path. Hmm.

Well, yes. Also, I ordered Black Jack 2,4, and 5 this morning, so now, when my package arrives, I'll have everything released so far. For my all time favourite manga I was really letting it go, it feels good to get it all back. Also, I had way more than enough in my paypal account to cover the order haha. I think that a good, at least temporary, rule concerning adding more books and toys to the apartment is that the money has to be from eBay and other sales, I can't use my paychecks for it anymore. It'll encourage a nice turnover, too.

Haha, I'm in a good mood this morning.

It feels good to know that my bills are all paid (besides rent at least, haha).

Anyway.

Yes.

Man, I couldn't even figure out what my grails would be. I mean, there are things that I want really bad, but I guess I look at things kind of objectively, and I can say, "Well, I want it, but am I prepared to dole out $100+ for it?" I see people in the community do that a lot. Dole out 400, 500, 600 for super rare goods of their favourites.

But the way I feel right now, all full of bliss, I get the feeling that I had been right when I added Jirachi Pokedoll to my list of grails on my (future) selling journal the other day. Because it feels GOOD to know that a grail is on its way to me.

Also, I guess part of my weird feeling about the grail thing is that I'm sort of a--savvy--shopper as it were, I make a point of finding the best deals on things, even if it means spending several months looking for an item. It's how I paid three dollars, instead of twenty five dollars for a Darkrai Pokedoll. And that side of me, the ability to stay patient even when I REALLY REALLY want something, maybe makes me feel like my grails aren't real grails to me. Because I want them, I know they're rare, I'm actively seeking them, but I'm really not willing to dole out triple digits for them. Even the Mewtwo Play by Play backpack I want so bad.

Hmm.

Well, yes.

Anyway.

Thus ends my early morning musing on grails.

And so this concludes my frantic early morning Pokedoll buying session.

No, really, it was perfect timing. I got paid for a few of my auctions, and suddenly someone on pkmncollectors is like, "BIN Jirachi Pokedoll, free shipping" and I'm all "ksjdbv;ljzbglkszbg;" 'cause it's a grail of mine.

Seriously.

When I first saw the Jirachi movie, I could not believe how much I loved it (still probably my favourite, quite likely even more than Mewtwo Returns) and I went to www.pokemoncenter.com (ah, the good old days) to buy the pokedoll, and they had sold out. Then they NEVER GOT IT AGAIN. Then they SHUT DOWN. And alas, no Jirachi for Hayley.

Plus the seller had Manaphy.

Now I only really have one Pokedoll want, and that's Shadow Lugia. Though, THOUGH, I do kind of desire Grimer, Gengar, and Meowth. But yeah.

Pokedolls.

I'm really startled by how much money my auctions on eBay are generating. For example, this Cardcaptor Sakura key charm that has LITERALLY been gathering dust in my jewelry box for five plus years, which I bought as a clearance item at Blockbuster Video on Royal Street when Cardcaptors was on US TV, is at fifty dollars. O.o;;

I put it on there thinking "well, maybe I can at least pick up ten bucks for it". Clamp fans are intense I guess, it's selling for more than my official US release Clow Book with Cards is going for. But this is a good thing, because it means more Pokemon Toys.

Also, I've been playing Harvest Moon more. I came up with this rule that, before I buy any new games (including BUT NOT LIMITED TO Starfy) I have to finish ALL of the unfinished games I have. Which are: Harvest Moon Island of Happiness, Harvest Moon Tree of Tranquility, Rune Factory (I knwo OMG), Super Mario Galaxy, Evil Under the Sun, Pokemon Platinum, and I need to at least make some progress into Trauma Center New Blood. My hoarding tendencies have been showing with Video Games.

But yes. I have a feeling that once I dig out all of the Sailor Moon dolls that are still hiding somewhere in my parents garage, I will have a fair bit of extra spending money. Ho yes.

Man, we went to Dough Co last night and I ordered their Taco Calzone, and it was really not good. I usually order the Steak Bomb, which is like GOD ON EARTH, but the Taco Zone left a lot to be desired. It was just hamburger and cheddar, I couldn't even taste the "Mexican seasoning". Pfft.

Also I fucking hate these dumbass kids who just RIDE THEIR SKATEBOARDS IN A CIRCLE around the apartment building. I believe they live here, but it's still just fucking annoying. I mean, go to a fucking park or something?

I fell into exhausted slumber a few hours ago, and woke up starving. I ate a banana and the second half of my calzone, and I can't decide what the hell my body is telling me to eat. A pasta bread bowl sounded really good for some reason, but is too expensive. I might just go get a soda and some taquitos and watch Murder She Wrote while Nick's not home. I need to savour Netflix instant while we have it on the TV, 'cause on Sunday we'll be giving the 360 back to Ben. Which sucks, because Lips should come in the mail soon, and I want to PLAY IT.
