Last week, me and my best bud went to the Gulf. lol. It was so much fun. She came sleep over Friday and left Sunday. We had a great weekend. It was supposed to be anime filled (she brought a huge suit case with all of her tapes) but that got washed out when my VCR made an attempt to eat one of her beloved tapes. Friday, we went eat at Mount Fuji (Hibachi grill). Usually, we eat at the Hibachi but this time, we decided for a table. She ordered a bento box full of goodies and I got some Udon with a California roll. She never ate rolls before so I had her try mine. I think she loved it. lol. *devious smile* ohhh, I'm going to get her hooked on that stuff like I got her hooked on anime (of course, she got me back by getting me hooked on Due as Infinity -__-). It was even more fun when she ate some wasabi. I told her to take only a tiny bit. She did take a tiny bit but it was still too much. lol. I never seen someone chug down water so fast. XD

Saturday, on a whim, we decided to go to the Gulf. I got us lost of course. I'm Miss-No-Sense-Of-Direction. *sigh* We ended up on a road where no cars dared to pass and in some fields. I called my dad. Huge mistake as mr. panicky was trying to find out where I was. -_- He kept asking me if I was near hwy 90. All I could do was think to myself...'how am I going to know. I thought that's why I called you?' anyway, we ended up finding the main road and made our way down to Holly Beach and Rutherford. The beaches were pretty decent for once. It was my best buds first time out there, so she was excited. lol. We even had a one armed crab chase us. lol. Since Hurricane Rita hit they've been trying to rebuild.  A lot of the old beach bums were moved out and now some condos are coming in.

After the beach, we decided to head up to Port Arthur, TX & Orange back home. Port Arthur was pretty scary. Of course, we were on the wrong end of town. It looked gutted (Hurricanes Ike & Rita devistated that city) and nasty. I had to pee so bad too. We ended up at a red light and I can remember white knuckling it and screaming at the damn light. finally it turned and I drove like a maniac into McDonalds. It felt so good. XD Relief!!!! After that, we got back on the road and more paranoid. I kept thinking to myself 'if we make it out of here with all our hubcaps on the car, then that's a good thing'. lol. Yes, I'm not only miss gets lost but also a bit Ms. paranoid myself. Thanks dad for the gift. -__-

Orange was really nice. We finally made it back home and went eat at Olive Garden. Stuffed our faces was more like it. I love their bread sticks. Yum!! ^_^ Afterwards, we went to books-a-million where no good manga could be found. Maybe it's b/c I lost my internet, but I'm finding as the months go by, the more I lose my anime love. *sigh* we ended up back home laughing and talking and reading our book purchases. Okay, I read her book purchase. Romance novels. lol. *grins* They're corny but good to read if you want to relax. :)

Sunday was Father's Day. I didn't go see my dad. I saw him last week. My older sister brought me some food and went shopping. My bud left me ;_; but we shall do this again. It was far too fun not too.

One of my other friends just graduated from LSU. He's in performing arts and a terrific singer. He's moving to Italy for a year or two then to Boston. Lucky bastard. Everyone's leaving me and going off to do fun things. I feel as if I've settled. It's a horrible feeling to have. *sigh* oh well, I'm saving up money for vacations anyway. :)

It's 100 degree F over here and the humidity is really high. It's so stuffy it's hard to breathe. We have a heat wave / drought going on. it sucks. I just want to go and run into the water and swim. i have no bathing suit but shorts and a shirt wouldn't hurt, would it? I didn't think so. :o)

Work is going okay.  nothing major to report. In fact, for once in these past few months, I actually feel a bit at peace with myself. As if finally I can rest a bit. Scary......

Here's hoping to a really good summer!!

How's every one else doing????
