Nichi Youbi: A Weekend with the Grandparents is Always a Good Thing...
Translation for first part: Sunday

… That is unless it interferes with a semi-annual religious event (in this case, General Conference). But then that was the only time my grandma would be available to take me shopping for a dress for Homecoming, and -

Ren: if you were that concerned about it, you should’ve stuck with yours and Kyarri’s plan to wear your Chinese dress that you’ve had for the last three or four years!

CCR: I know, but there were obstacles such as a) my mom might not let me wear it, b) the school might deem it inappropriate because it has one slit on the side, and c) I’m not even sure if I’d fit comfortably into it anymore! Well, actually that one is more or less a questionable one since despite everything I’ve still been able to fit into it in times past… you know what, I’ll try to wear it to church next Sunday and if it still fits and my grandma can’t get me on a weekend sooner than a week before Winter Formal, we’ll go with it!

Anyway, Friday started with the usual madness and then the anime club meeting. Then I took my Mythology test that I missed Thursday due to the CGCC Festival for choir, ate cookies and went over our usual Seminary assignment for Conference, which he let us set our on due date for (mine’s due Halloween since each session is two hours long, and I know unless I sit down next weekend and spend eight hours watching it over the Internet, I’m not gonna be able to do it all in one sitting. I’ll work in it little by little throughout the month, though… How about I try one or two sessions Wednesday after school since we have a half day that day? Then if I watch one session that day, then Friday I can watch one after school (if we have school Friday), one Saturday, and one Sunday after church); got to skip Government a second day in a row because of the BYU informational meeting, after which I’m not sure if I’m gonna still go after a year or two of Community College or straight from HS now; learned we have a quiz tomorrow in French that I don’t know if I’m ready for (gotta review the vocab during SSR tomorrow and maybe a little in the morning… it’s just giving directions, gas station vocab, and expressing impatience and reassuring said impatient person, no big deal), had lunch, took the test on intersections in Driver’s Ed, and then went over our finales for concert on Tuesday in choir.

Now after school, things got interesting. The minute I got home, Dad told me to sweep up his and Mom’s bathroom, then as I was finishing that up my grandparents came. We waited for my brother to show up, and we left. Per usual, we ate out on the way out to my grandparents’ place (Red Robin; it’s almost become a usual spot for our first-night dinner when we visit them), where I learned the joys of French onion soup… and the dangers of fried onion… I don’t know what they called them, but they were like thin, stringy onion rings that they put on my burger. I almost choked on one of those dang things!

Goku: but it was funny to see Ren and Ed freak out when that happened.

Ed and Ren: *in unison* we did not freak out!

CCR: please don’t get me started…

Anyway, after we finished our meal, we went to Blockbuster to rent two movies to watch each night. My brother rented The Love Guru, which we watched that night (by the way, it was utterly disgusting, I don’t care how funny my brother thought it was! I fail to see how two elephants humping, a chastity belt and a mouth full of whizz are funny!). The movie I rented… I’ll save that for later.

Saturday, the dress hunt began, and on the way my grandma and I also discussed things pertaining to the Japan trip. According to the old book from last year, which is all we have to go by until her travel agent gets the ’09 book sometime this month, we’ll be spending approx. 12 days in Japan and 14 in Thailand. Setting that stuff aside until we actually get to that point and/or I get this year’s book for myself so I know for sure what we’re doing, the search for a homecoming dress for me was more or less… kinda dramatic. Again. Like the search for the dress for Winter Formal last year, where I didn’t end up getting anything (good thing too because I didn’t end up going that year), it came to tears. Why is it that we always go dress shopping right before that time of the month?! I swear that must be it! That and the store known as Windsor is ebil and robs girls like myself who aren’t anoerxically skinny but too small to fit into even the smallest selections at Torrid or Lane Bryant of their self esteem. I couldn’t even fit in their equivalent to a size 14 (which was a size 13; they go by odd numbers for some insane reason), and that’s what I usually wear as to dresses! But then we went to Dillard’s and rediscovered one of the dresses I was interested in last Winter Formal and got that. ^^ Happily ever after.

Ren: is it really wise to advertize your dress size like you just did in that paragraph…?

CCR: *shrug*

After we got the dress, we searched for a shawl with no success, but luckily Mom knows a store where I can get one! Then we went back to their place, hung out for a bit, and then went to dinner, where my brother shot spit wads at me through a straw, kept insisting that I like Joe Jonas from the Jonas Brothers, even though I keep telling him my opinion of those people is as low as my opinion of Hannah Montana (and that’s pretty low),and then freaked me out with that stupid “touch of death” thing.

Ed: I kinda have to agree though that you freak out too easily.

CCR: I know, I know. I gotta learn not to take these things so seriously. ^^; even though I still get this creeped out feeling after that that something might happen on Tuesday, but it comes and goes with the mention of the incident. I personally think I’ll be okay and he’s lying up his butt about there even being a “touch of death” in the first place (even though he said he didn’t do it right, he insists that there really is one and the show he got it from wouldn’t say where it is because it could lead to mass slaughter).

And now for the big part. After we got home, we watched the movie I rented… Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Surprisingly, my grandparents sat through it. But not without my grandpa’s wise-cracking commentaries, from calling Red XIII “Fido on steroids,” to saying after I said that the movie takes place in a totally different world that it’s set in San Francisco, to saying, “Well, I’ll hand it to you B******y, you rented the most violent movie I’ve ever seen.” Honestly, I could’ve recorded some of those commentaries and put it on YouTube! Then my grandma kept thinking Aerith was “Mother” and originally thought Cloud was drowning her in the beginning until I told her how Aerith really died. Then in the end with the water, here’s what both of them said:

“They’re getting baptized!”

My commentary-style response when Denzel got into the water and Cloud poured it over his head: “See Denzel, baptism makes everyone happy! =D”

Zelgadiss: honestly, it sounds like you guys totally destroyed the movie with your comments.

CCR: actually I take it as a sign that they enjoyed it. Except my grandpa, since he said that you could’ve cut out half the movie and you wouldn’t notice because it’s just people fighting and never getting hurt.

Then today, we ate at IHOP, went to the Wildlife World Zoo, ate at Marie Claendar’s and now I’m home. All I’ve left to do is upload this week’s Randomosity, read my scriptures, and then maybe for once I can get to bed at a decent time since I finished this! ^^ O_O Oh crap… there’s one drawing I forgot to scan! *runs to her room to get the sketchbook and comes back in the kitchen with the PyJun pic she drew last Saturday* Now to scan this thing…

Ren: and just when I’d thought you would forget and never pull out that drawing again.

CCR: but it’s cuuuute! ^^

Ren: maybe to you.

Allen: actually, the pairing kind of makes sense. Even when they’re here they’re not too far from eachother.

Ren: don’t encourage her…

CCR: be grateful I haven’t drawn any HitsuHina yet.

Ren: but you’ve written it, which is just as bad.

CCR: true. Okay, why am I talking about pairings here, I gotta get that drawing scanned, Randomosity submitted here and on dA, and then I’m going to bed!
