Happy belated Halloween!

(click to see bigger)
I was a gypsy! Made from an odd assortment of old clothes...
Boo was Emo, he got really into it! See below...


:P

& I couldn't recover the deleted haircut photos without coughing up $20 to ApplexSoft, so forget that! These'll have to do!

Ok, seriously, who with a Mac does NOT have this pic? lol

*Ok, so remember about two months ago when I said I'd get back to you tomorrow? Well, yea, let's start from there...*

What I wanted to write about was Katherine (formerly known as Smeagol) coming to visit for the first time in about FOUR YEARS!

So, as you can guesstimate, it was a long anticipated event that went by way too quickly! :'(

She came down for a ceremony her father had to participate in and she only stayed for a couple days, visited me for one. T_T

It was kind of awkward at first, but we ended up laughing it off nervously and trying to catch up with eachother's past near-half-decade. Then the conversation turned to Jrock and we migrated to my Fool's Mate magazines, and there we were brought to eachother's present fixations. :) we both really want to start a band, which will likely be difficultly done interstate, but new, for sure! We ended up going to dinner at a favorite local sushi restaurant and talking about each other's progress in the Japanese language (which was pretty comical; she says it's worse for her, though, because she's asian, so when she tries to speak her super-american-japanese all her listeners think she's a twinkie xP). After that, the adventure really began, when I had to drive her to the relatives with whom she was staying- on a military base- where all GPS locating and mapping is blocked - which includes MapQuest, the way we had planned to find our way back! D8 So, we didn't realize this fact (though it seems pretty obvious in hindsight :P) until we were already on the base, in pitch black, 9:30pm dark. I kept asking, "Does this look familiar?" But nothing did, except for the hanger that we drove by from different angles about four times. XP

After about forty minutes, her mom called asking where we were. Embarrassing answer, "Eeeh, somewhere close, I think..?" We finally got her cousin to drive out to another building we had driven by enough times to know where IT was, and then we said our goodbyes and おやすみなさい's and parted ways (after, of course, her cousin had given me directions out of that abyssmal labyrinth).

And that was that.
Good luck in college, Kat!
頑張っておください!!
