THIS WEEKEND HAS BEEN MADE OF AMAZING!

Makayla and I headed down to San Francisco and ate at our favorite restaurant in Japantown, and then went to the pillows concert! As always, this was all kinds of fun and awesome and amazing. I LOVE them, LOVE seeing them live, and I'm already looking forward to their next concert. :D I've seen them now three times and all three times are extremely happy and special memories for me. I'm not even deaf, either, thanks to xel_ko's boyfriend's quick thinking and using gum for earplugs. (Last concert I heard buzzing for three days afterwards.) A+ would do again if not in possession of real earplugs, even with the minty ears afterwards. It was great seeing xel_ko and ensuing there, too! I caught some of the concert on video, I'll try and post that in the near-ish future. I got to give Sawao a big hug after the concert! My mom and cousin and brother loved the concert, too. Gah, I love that band.

We went and slept at Nicole's apartment, and then got up in the morning and headed back to J-town. Got a crepe and a bubble milkshake for lunch, wandered around for a while looking in the shops, called astrokittie to try to meet up but failed and then my cell phone died (;____;), got a parking ticket (I fail! T____T), bought some Gurren Lagann books that were 50% off, ate again at our favorite restaurant, and then went to see The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya.

Now, I was expecting Disappearance to be fun and solidly entertaining, and it was not only that but actually a much more impressive and amazing movie than I expected. I really, really loved it and was surprised by its quality and storytelling. It was incredible! One of the better anime movies I've seen in a while, and I'm so excited to see it again whenever I'm able to. Those of you who are still waiting to see it, let me just say it's well worth the wait and I don't think you'll be disappointed. It blew my expectations out of the water. I just...I can't even stop raving about it because I loved it that much! I would say more but I don't want to spoil people and basically all I would do is go on and on about how much I enjoyed it, how I can't wait to see it again, love all the characters, blah blah blah.

Afterwards we got both ice cream and normal mochi as well as some strange flavors of ramune, ate the ice cream mochi, and had a fun ride back talking about anime, singing along (often rather enthusiastically) with music, and eating and drinking the mochi and ramune. The sunset was beautiful, there was rain and hail on the way back as well as clear weather, and now I'm back home and it's bizarrely cold considering it's towards the end of May.

Awesome weekend has been awesome. chosen_entity and I are doing a Gurren Lagann marathon tomorrow, so that will of course add even MORE awesome to an already incredible weekend.

I AM SO HAPPY! And not only was this weekend incredible, NEXT WEEKEND IS FANIME! ♥

Gaaaah sorry I slept like ALL DAY yesterday. My parents were like "you should stay home and study" and so I just kind of fell back asleep. ;-;

It's fine, don't worry about it! I figured it just meant you couldn't make it for whatever reason. I'm glad it was something nice like lying around sleeping instead of something like an emergency or something unpleasant. Next weekend is Fanime, so hopefully we'll have time to hang out there!
