Feeling: Productive with a hint of butterflies

I've had a fair amount of drama, productive moments, and lord knows what else at the moment. I'm sorta dazed at the moment. Last week a beautiful vintage maxi dress arrived at my door with a few glaring flaws so I had a bit of a "verbal" sparring match with the seller but ultimately decided to keep it. The day I wore it out, the seams began coming apart and the hem came unstitched. The worst part was I was out with my mom and we couldn't go home, so I was left fearing my dress would fall apart around me. I haven't felt that vulnerable in many a moon.

I found some of my classmates from my school in Japan via Mixi (the Japanese myspace/facebook/wherever) and messaged them. I was unsure as to whether either was who I thought they were (names were strange) but both were! Today, though I stumbled upon Minma's public diary and he posted about my message to him. It was hard to read (literally). He seems to be a good storyteller. It kinda seemed like he was unhappy about it at first, but then when he says what the message says, he sounds like its a very good thing. At the end, I think he said that if I didn't accept his friend request, he won't come to America his whole life. Very puzzling. Then all the comments were from other classmates about me and one used the term, "yabai," which I'm used to being a bad thing, which wasn't nice to hear! So I sent him a message and got a few things off my chest I've needed to say for a long time; I apologized. It felt good but it's a little nerve-wracking--to wait for a response.

I really meant to do this earlier *sweatdrop*

Don't really know how long this will end up being, as I've already taken my evening meds and they knock me out. In the interest of time, I will make this a news post and do an extra big picture post tomorrow for Easter. Look forward to a very special entry for the arrival of a brand new (figuratively speaking) gunne sax that I won on ebay on Thursday. Hopefully it will arrive this week! 

Today I added an event ticker to the blog for promoting the events held by my friend Toby's band, Marquis of Vaudeville. I do this for two reasons. Number one: they are very talented and Number two: my best friend (and partner in crime) Naomi and I are working on a very exciting project--designing costumes for the band! For those of you who don't know, the two of us are planning on having a business together in the future. The costumes will not be ready for this event (not even close, but be keeping an eye out closer to the end of summer for that) but we were at their rehearsal on Wednesday taking measurements and they were practicing with the sitar and, trust me, this is going to be an amazing show that you won't want to miss.

Okay, I better go now before I totally crash. See you tomorrow!
