I bought volumes 5-9 of Fruits Basket (Furuba) at AX and finished reading them in oh, 2 days. x.x I went online and found JustManga.com and bought volumes 10-13 of Furuba and 12 of KareKano (Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou). I would have ordered more Furuba, but those are the only ones out right now… vol 14 doesn’t come out until August. There are 20 volumes of Furuba in all, and the tokyopop site doesn’t give the release dates for the other volumes, boo. I’ll probably wait until they are all released to buy more. There are 21 volumes of Kare Kano, 20 of which have been released. Maybe I’ll switch to that for a while. But I’ll probably have to stop buying manga for a while, I need to pay for school fees at the end of the month, then books after that, and my sister’s bachelorette party to Las Vegas, and (more) school fees if I can’t get any grants or loans.
Happy Belated Birthday, America!

So on Tuesday was the 4th of July, but that wasn’t the best part of my weekend. First of all, Mike’s brother Greg got married and Mike and I were in the wedding. I don’t have any pictures (yet) but I do have some pictures of what my hair looked like:
Here is a profile view… TONS of curls.
You can see my makeup here, too. I also had some poofy kind of hair going in the front. Jessica Alba’s 2006 VMA Red Carpet look was my inspiration.
CURLS.
So that was Saturday. It was really fun, but also really hot and exhausting. I’m just glad it’s over 
The next day Mike and I spent time with his family, since they’re all from out of town. On Sunday night my neice, Amber had a baby! His name is Gregory Charles, he’s 5 lbs 1 oz and 16 inches long. He’s a tiny little thing, but the doctors think he’ll be OK. Then on Monday Mike had to work, but I went to ANIME EXPO with Vanessa, Maz and his girlfriend, Amber. Ahhh! Unfortunately, I’m not as into manga and anime and I used to be when I first started going, but I still really look forward to AX every year. This was my 6th year going (since 2001! I haven’t missed a year) and while we were there we got to meet some people from a (now defunt) forum that Vanessa and I used to frequent back in 2001-2002. We’ve all kept in touch and to finally meet them after all this time was amazing. Shout out to Jake, Ryan, Ricky (who likes to be called Cid 
), and Ian! Then that night Mike, Vanessa and I went and saw The Devil Wears Prada. It was good!
Then on Tuesday I cleaned my room and burned off some creative energy:
I recovered my bulletin board that I did in 6th grade. The tacs aren’t sticking in too well, but the anime/Disney pins at the bottom are doing just fine. I should have put less stars on the ribbons up top. There’s no room to stick anything in underneath the ribbon now x.x;; After Mike got off of work we went to his parents house and watched Last Holiday and fireworks. The movie was better. xD
Anyway, time for work, ttyl
