Well, aside from being seriously pissed that my parents said I couldn't go to A-kon, even though I rearranged my schedule. But nooo--they want me to work. Right now, it's only about 40 hrs a week, but they're hoping to move me up to 60 hrs. Yeah right, like I'm going to inflict that upon myself. And then I checked my email and saw all those costume ideas Sin sent me. Damn, I really wanted to go.

Mostly, I spend my free time writing and at the bookstore. Mostly, I read manga at the bookstore and literature at home. It's nice that there's such a wide selection these days. I remember when manga could only be bought at comic book stores.

Going out to the movies with Alex has been the bright spot to this mess. These days, I forget I'm in a real world. Everything has that dream-like feel to it. I think it's the heat.
