So today I had a ton of yummy food while I relaxed and enjoyed the quiet of an empty house. I woke up at 7 this morning and decided to watch one of the greatest movies ever: John Tucker Must Die. It is a great movie, I really love it!
The I had Breakfast. It was a delicious Lunchables Thee Mini Cheese Pizza! Complete with blue airhead and fruit punch CapriSun! Oh yeah!!! Super cool, chick right here ^-^ it was the most delicious breakfast I have had in a long time.
I also watched Star Wars! Episode IV!!! It was so good, I forgot how much I love those movies, tomorrow I will watch Episode V! I'm excited lol
Hey! Guess what I grilled up for lunch? Grilled Cheese!! And oh yeah, it was amazing! I tred to upload a picure of my ooey gooey master piece, but Tech (that's my laptops name) is being moody again, so it didn't exactly work. But it was an amazing Grilled Cheese, if that makes it better haha
Okay, now for the scary part. Today, a 7 in the evening, the driver instructor arrived at my house. I got in the car and drove off. I drove aorund with him for two hours today. We didn't do anything too complicated, just sort of cruised around town for a couple of hours. I love driving at night, I'm not sure why, but I drive better at night than I do during the day. I am so comfortable driving around in the dark, weird, huh? He will be back tomorrow at the same time, he said that I am going to do a lot more parking and backing up tomorrow, so hopefully it goes well. Parking sucks, I hate it. Backing up, meh, it's okay I guess.
Okay, so I am super tired now, night everyone!

What A Weekend!!!
Hey everybody!!! My apologies for having skipped out on the writing/blogging whatever for so long, but I had an amazing weekend! Oh my goodness it was so much fun haha
Saturday:
I spent the day with my boyfriend! Shocker, right? I never spend any time with him what so ever (note the major sarcasm here..). But it was a lot of fun ^-^ we were actually suppose to have a double date type of thing with rock climbing and stuff, but everyone bailed on us! Can you believe that? So rude, right? Yeah, but I got to spend time with him anyway. Then we even went to Magic Night. Yes, I went to Magic Night, I decided to attend because it sounded like too much fun to pass up. Guess what else!!! I actually won! Now that is a surprise!!! I felt really weird being the only girl there, seven or so guys and me..it was a ton of fun though, and I have never been so proud of my deck before! ^-^ It's already Tuesday morning and I am still in shock that I actually won, sad hahaha call me whatever you'd like to, but playing Magic with those guys was fun. The thing is, playing with so many people takes a really long time and waiting for it to be your turn can get kind of boring :/
Sunday:
I went to church, as is normal, and I got to sit with my boyfriend ^-^ Then it was off to his place and messing around there until 8, when my father came to pick me up.
Monday:
I know, Monday isn't part of the weekend, but I am counting it because I can, so HA! If you have any issues, leave a comment or something..no one ever comments and it makes me feel sad :(
Back to Monday!! haha I got off topic, so I didn't really do much today...er..Monday XD I mean, I swept and cleaned up the house a little. Then my dad got off work and the two of us went for a drive..more like I drove the car and he drove me crazy. Typical parent. I went to dinner with my mother, had amazing soup at Panera Bread! I love that place <3 hmm...what else did I do? Not much, basically napped. Boring Monday.
Okay, so I know that all doesn't sound like much, but there was a lot going on as it was happening and my weekend just felt very crowded and scrambled haha Tomorrow..er.....Tuesday, I mean, I will have the house to myself, I'm really looking forward to it ^-^ and I already know I am going to have an amazing Grilled Cheese for lunch! Maybe I'll post a picture on here for you people to see! I'm really excited for it ^-^

Wow, So Much! Hahaha
Okay, so a lot happened, so I will be using a number/list type of format for todays post. If you don't like it, then go away cause no one likes you..okay nevermind on that, I might not know you so don't go away cause I would love to be your friend ^-^ I like people. . .sometimes haha anyway, let's get started!
1st
I went to the DMV today!!! So many people, and most of them looked rather unhappy (my mother included). I guess most of you peoples see the DMV as more of a chore than an adventure, right? Well, not me! I see it as an adventure! There are so many people there, I make up stories about them in my head. Nothing bad, just giving them a background, something simple, right? I like to figure people out, and I'm kind of a people watcher (creepy, right? Yeah, I know -.-) so going to the DMV is really fun for me. We waited for an hour and 40 minuets before we were called up to the window.
My new permit didn't cost anything, and the new one doesn't include a picture of me, which I thought was sort of weird. Oh well, right?
2nd
I went to Panera Bread for lunch!!! This is kind of not important, but it has to be one of my favorite parts of the day because Panera Bread is one of my favorite places to eat ^-^ it's yummyful haha
Oh, and I went to Powel's Sweet Shoppe. Got some candy..$10.87 worth of candy XD
3rd
My mother tricked me into a doctor visit. It wasn't like a doctor, he is a shirnk my parents pay to reassure themselves that I'm not crazy. I don't like to go so they often have to bribe or trick me into going. Long story short, I ended up in his waiting room at 3:50 and he told me the same thing he told me last time I was there. Basically that I need to get a job, find out more about colleges with my major, and get my license already.
Speaking of License...
4th
I schedueled my drivers test! It is going to be on August 31st at 8:50 in the morning. Early, I know, but it has to be in the morning because almost as soon as I get back from that, we are going to Sac for the convention. So much happening on the 31st, not even funny :/
5th
I made dinner. All by myself! You should all be very proud, because I can NOT cook. I made pasta, and it didn't kill anyone! Such a big accomplishment for me, you peoples have no idea what this means to me!
So the sauce wasn't the best, it was still pretty good. Needed something to sweeten it up a little though, next time I'm going to add a lot more to it. But be proud, I am learning to cook! If my house burns down, we will all know why ;)
6th
Watch this video!
This song was shown to me by my older sister, the one who is going to SacAnime with us. This song just makes me smile every time I hear it, and I sing it around the house a lot too haha it's just so true!! Don't judge me, I just love it ^-^
This is Riku, singing (very off key) and signing off, Lates!

My Letter to the Lost as I Move Forward
Well...I had kind of a rought night last night/this morning. Around 2:11am, I had memory flash back to the first day of my senior year last year. This only happened because now I am graduated and everyone is starting school tomorrow..well after that pleasent little flash back, I began to think about my senior year of high school. I have to admit, a lot great things really did happen. I got a great bofriend, I learned a lot about myself, I had some little adventures with my friends. A lot of bad things happened too, though, my bestie and I got into our biggest fight ever and spent a few MONTHS (normally it's just days) not talking to each other, I saw my group begin to fall apart, and I lost a close friend.
Well, this post will be short and to the point. This post is about my early morning, and all of the anger and frustration I have about said lost friend. He just didn't need to go.
At 2:11 this morning I grabbed a piece of paper and began a letter to this friend of mine. I wrote out his full name at the top of the page and started off by telling him that I could not believe that he had left our lives for good. By the time I had written four lines into the letter, I had a few tears rolling down my cheeks.
Let me pause here to say that I do not cry. When something really sad or bad happens and everyone around me is sobbing uncontrollably, I do not cry. There might be one or two tears, but no shortness of breath, no puffy red eyes, no real Crying. I haven't had a real cry in years, if you guys want me to be completely honest.
So there I sat on my bed, writing a letter to this passed friend. I asked him if he would miss getting to walk across the stage as they called out his name to get his diploma. I reminded him of how I used to try and get his silver watch from him every morning..and how our friends referred to that watch as Shannon proof because it took me so long to figure out how to open the clasp. I told him how every morning for the rest of that first month, I would stare at the steps, just waiting for him to come walking up with his morning coffee and give us that same morning smile that he always had on his face.
It was at this point in the letter that I had to stop writing. I could hardly see the paper. Tears poured down my face and I actually cried. For almost ten minuets, I lay on my bed and did my best to control myself.
Later in this letter I told him about Formal and Prom, I talked about how I felt so wrong going to Formal that Janurary without him. I think the group really wanted to keep his memory alive by doing the limo thing again, and then going to the same restaurant. It all kind of failed, that year. But the previous year, when he was there, everything went so smoothly. The limo and then dinner, it was just a great night. He was most certinally on our minds this last time.
In conclusion to this letter, I began to get really honest with him. I told him that for that first week or twwo I didn't feel anything. That I was more numb than sad. Then I blamed myself, but that I no longer did.
It was almost Janurary when a girl asked me how I was doing. I told her I was okay, but then she told me not to feel too bad about what had happened because it wasn't my fault that I had broken his heart and then stomped on it. I asked her what she meant, and she told me that she and his mother had been talking. This lost friends mother, for a day or so, thought he may have been upset with me for breaking his heart. She figured that was why he did what e did. I never told anyone what this girl had said to me. I know that my friends mother doesn't believe this, not anymore at least, and I can't even be sure she believed it in the first place. All I know is that I cannot blame myself for what happened. I have to move on. Life continues and so must I.
My final words in the letter to him said that I missed him, and love him. I told him that he had really impacted me with his life, and that I would never forget him.
You see, people come into our lives for a reason, and each person we interact with helps to shape us a little more. I cared so much about this friend, and when he left..I guess I just refused to believe it. Now, eight months later, I think I am beginning to come to terms with what happened.
Rest in peace, my dear friend. I will always remember you.

The Infection Spreads! and some bad news..
So my boyfriend came over today and we spent the whole day together. It was great! We spent hours doing two things: playing with a dog and playing Magic. Also, we were not alone. *insert*dramatic*music*here* Oh yes, my boyfriend has spread his Magic Infection to my younger brother, who happens to be a bit of a nerd as it is.
I have familiarised myself with my deck, and I have become quite comfortable with the game now. If I continue at this rate, I think that I might be comfortable actually participating in the Magic Night that my boyfriend invited me to. I'm still not sure if I should go or not yet, though..Magic kinda seems more like his "GuyTime" thing, you know? I would feel really bad about intruding on his GuyTime. Oh well, I have a few more days to figure it out.
I have some pretty bad news. I think I lost my permit. Yeah I know, you're all probably wondering why I haven't actually gone in to get my lisence yet. Well, even though I am 18, my parents wanted me to have some behind the wheel experience with a trianed profesional before I get my lisence and they want me to have behind the wheel experience with them before I go to the professional and they wouldn't let me do that unless I got my permit. Nasty circle, I know :/ but I went with it and I got my permit. Now I can't find it. The good news is, however, I don't need a permit in order to take my behind the wheel test for the DMV! Also, the behind the wheel with a proffesional doesn't require that I have a permit either! "What's the big deal, then?" you may be wondering, well let me tell you. My parents are phyco and don't want me to do anything until I can locate my permit papers. Great, right? Not really, I have to find those papers because my parents have been more crazy than ever lately! I know, I know, most parents are crazy. My mother is Asian!!! She will kill me in my sleep and my father will take the fall for it! I just know it! Okay so that is an exageration, but still..I just gotta find those papers!

Magic.
He did it. It is official. I am screwed. Great. I broke. I think I broke. That's it. Maybe not. Caught in the moment. Wraped up in talk. Right? Right.
I should probably try to explain this a little, shouldn't I? Well I guess I should get to the point already then haha I am talking about Magic. No, not the show with the Poof and the smoke and mirrors, I am talking about the card game. My boyfriend plays and when he first showed me a few months back I must admit I was a little freaked out and slightly confused by the cards and the intensity with which he and his friends seemed to play. I grabbed a deck and attempted to keep up, being wiped out almost instatly, I gave up and decided my time may be better spent on my boyfriends lap playing distraction while he and his buddies gather around a table for hours on end.
Well, he finially peaked my interest when I saw him use a Red Goblin deck. I don't know much about the game, but I really got interested at that pooint, not sure why. So today, he took me out and I bought myself a starter deck for $13 or so at Target. It is a Red/White deck, and we went to the card shop and I got a few more cards to add in. I played two games, today, one against just my boyfriend and the other against him and two others.
Dare I say it? I had fun...
Don't you start judging me just yet! Bear with me for just a little longer while I explain, okay?
So I am a very competative person, I enjoy winning. Well, let's also add in the fact that I am a fast learner, I catch on really quickly to things. Then let''s also agree on the fact that I am lazy, distracted, easily entertained, often amused and want to understand the thought process behind every action. Magic is a nerd game where I can sit down, watch other people move, then try to understand why they did that. I really liked getting to see such a different side to everyone. I feel like there is a lot more joking around that goes on over a game of Magic than in other circumstances, the guys were all laughs. Now, I have noticed this before, when they play Magic, they seem to be more at ease, as if Magic somehow transports them to another place or something. I don't quite understand it, but maybe one day I will?
So getting back to my deck! It is a Red/White deck, and it mainly has Angels in it, but I feel like my deck was kinda weirdly put together because it also has a lot of Vampires and then an aray of Humans, Devils, Elemental Creatures, Spirits and a Griffin. I'm not sure if that is normal for a deck or not, but I think it is kinda weird.. Okay no, what is weird is my sudden want for a Red/Black Vampire deck and to make this deck I have currently into a Red/White Angel deck...now I am just being silly haha
I guess that is it for me tonight, I'll leave you with one last little tip: it is very important to understand the cards that you are playing with! Otherwise you will be like me and sit there for 5 minuets every turn reading your cards and trying to figure out if you should play it or not XD
Okay, talk to you all real soon!

Rant? Kinda, not really. . .uh..yeah..?
Okay, today I decided to quit being sad about my boyfriend being unreachable. I dragged my mother out of the house and made her spend some quality time shopping with me. We went to Target and then to dinner at a Japanese restaurant nearby. It was a lot of fun to get out of the house and just relax, you know?
I have been feeling really sick lately, I hope I'm not catching anything :/
I hate being sick, but i guess most people do, huh?
So I have been having a lot of trouble sleeping this past week and I'm not sure why. While I have been awake, I have been going through my stuff. I have a new plan for a layout for my room! I promise to upload photos this time after it is all organized and pretty, okay? Everything is moving this time, nothing is going to stay where it is and I might even get to put an old sewing machine in here! Isn't that exciting!! Maybe not for you guys, but it is for me ^-^
I really enjoy making/designing clothes and not having to hand stitch everything would be great! The good news about hand sewing it all though, is that my stitching is a lot better now than it was a year ago haha
Anyway, so I am going to reorganiz my room (again) and this time I really hope I actually like how it turns out. I have it all planned out in my head, but now I just need to find a way to move everything..it will be a lot of work :( and it better turn out amazing or else you guys will hear about it! I promise you that!
Okay, gonna sign off now cause I'm actually kinda tired haha night!
I have been feeling really sick lately, I hope I'm not catching anything :/
I hate being sick, but i guess most people do, huh?
So I have been having a lot of trouble sleeping this past week and I'm not sure why. While I have been awake, I have been going through my stuff. I have a new plan for a layout for my room! I promise to upload photos this time after it is all organized and pretty, okay?

Catching up and RAVE TIME!
So much has happened these past few days, I got in a huge fight with my bestie and we stopped talking for what felt like forever :( We're talking now though, neither one of us apologised, an apology would be empty and hollow and meaningless if it came from either of us. We both know it, so we are just moving on. It's nice to have someone who you can do that with.
I was suppose to be in Hanford with my bestie right now, to be honest, but my parents decided to go evil on me last minuet and so here I am..in my room.
My boyfriend left me. Not dumped me, he just went up to the mountians for a few days, no idea when he is getting back. He promised he would spend all Monday with me though, so he better be well enough to do that! Ima hurt him if he backs out hahaha I must say, with him gone, I think I am really noticing how much I really like him. Is it weird to say that I miss texting him all day? I never noticed how much he is part of my life now, and since he is gone I am seeing how much I take his company for granted.
Today is my sisters 22nd Birthday! Goodness she is old! hahaha jusst saying ^-^
Anyways, today has been an emotional rollarcoaster and I know just how to fix it! Strobe Light! Techno Trance Rave Music! Open Dance Area! Dark Room! SOLO RAVE TIME!!!!!!
This is Riku dancing off, I'll give you more of a rant about my life some other time, but now, We Dance!

Great Danes and The End
So I have this awesome friend who has seven (yes, SEVEN!) Great Danes. They are huge!! and so cute ^-^ well, they are all pure breed and she now has eleven puppies (that makes 18 Great Danes in her house now!). The puppes are so small, and they are going to grow to be so big!!! She told me that I should visit them more often, I can't remember why though..but yeah, they are so adorable! We actually might end up getting one or two! If I can convince my mother..wish me luck!
THE PUZZLE FROM HELL HAS BEEN DEFEATED!!!!
This is the finished product! See it's horrible patterns and terrifying shape! That familiar stop sign shape that I so hate because stop signs suck! Anyway, so this puzzle was mean to me and I will never try it again. We started on another puzzle though, with any luck it will be more easy.
Well, that's all folks, my life has been pretty lame so far, maybe it'll pick up as August gets going? Bye!!

Guy Time
Hey guys, I am going to make this post as quick as possible cause I really want to get back to the Puzzle From Hell.
Today I spent the day with my boyfriend..and three of his guy friends. It was actually a lot of fun, even when I was the only girl hanging out in a group of 6 guys (all of which were younger than me...) and we were crammed in a hot tub. Wasn't awkward, I felt like a pimp haha I really enjoy getting to hang out with all the guys, it makes me feel accepted. I mean, yeah, sometimes it can feel sort of weird and like I shouldn't be there, but those moments are few and far between, and that is part of what like so much about his friends. They have been really good about not accidentally making things awkward. At least...I think they are accepting me, I hope they like me haha
Anyway..
We went to this really cool card shop and at first I thought it was kinda weird but I started to really get into it after a while. When we first walked in I felt out of place..being a girl and all, but it was really exciting to get to see a place that otherwise I would have never really thought to go. Does that make sense? I kinda wish I was more into Magic so I could buy cards and get really excited like they all did. I want to play, but when my boyfriend and his buddies are all gathered around the table playing Magic I normally end up more confused than anything. I have tried to play before, I mostly end up killed off before 5 rounds, but then again I've only ever played three times in my life..perhapes I should try again?
Now, while I really do like hanging out with the guys, I also love to spend some time with my boyfriends little sister, she is so adorable! She taught me how to play Minecraft...kinda..I am generally terrible with video games and stuff like that so I was really bad at it. Oh well. She also lent me some clothes for the day since I was all dressed up in a white dress and three inch wedge heels..so happy we are close in sizes haha
Okay, so that did take a little longer than I had hoped for haha oh well, later everyone! Riku signing off to return to the Demon Puzzle ^-^

So today was my zoo date day ^-^ you should all go visit your loacl zoo, it is a blast! We saw every ssingle one of the animals and I discovered that I don't really like walking through the bird habbitates and stuff, I feel like they will attack me or something. Silly right? But my boyfriend promised to keep me safe, I even sat down and watched the bird show with him, half an hour of it. It was nice, but birds aren't exactly my favorite animal haha
We heard the plan for the new improvements to the zoo, there is a new Seal/sea lion cove being opened at the end of August, it is enviornmentally friendly and should help save water and money. Then by 2014 there will be a new African Safari exhibit on display for the public, which should be a lot of fun.
Now for the best part. They are going to get a King Cobra snake for their reptile house by the end of this year/beginning for next. I am really excited because snakes are my favorite animal!
I made my poor boyfriend go through that reptile house three times with me! We made friends with one of the snakes on display there. He was a Gaboon Viper, and he was so beautiful, we both adored him and decided to name him Charles.
This is him, Charles the great Gaboon Viper (featured in both photos shown here)!
They generally grow to be from 4-6 feet long and they have huge fangs that are 2 inches in length!! It is so cool!! Charles wasn't very long, maybe about 3 feet or so, if that. He was however very fat..er..I mean..round haha as you can see in te picture. It isn't that he is unhealthy or anything like that, Gaboon Vipers are naturally quite large. I like the horns he has on his face, Charles really rocks those horns haha it is a shame that you guys can't really see the small details on him, he is so beautiful! I sat there next to him and I was just staring at how intricate and really complex his scales are! Oh well, iphone quality haha close enough I suppose.
Anyways, I just had to tell you all about my Charles and the zoo trip..though..now that I think about it, most of this was about Charles and maybe 1/3 was about the rest of the zoo..oops? Chalres is important! He is both a snake and my friend! Plus he is pretty ^-^
This is Riku signing out and now crashing XD it is so time for some sleep!

Puzzle From Hell
When my grandmother passed away two and a half years ago, she left a lot behind. All of her sewing materials went to me, and now they are stacked against one of my walls (taking up space and the good news is that I have a ton of thread for sewing and nearly an endless amount of needles haha). She also left a number of puzzles and other Japanese games and thing to pass the time. One of these puzzles is shaped like an octagon, and it is really just a pattern repeating itself and so I opened the box and looked at it for a while. It looked interesting, so I sat down and sarted to try and put it together. That was mistake number one. Mistake number two was thinking I might be able to put it together on my own. I started the puzzel around 5 this evening, and I finally recruited my brother to help me around 11 at night. Now at 2 in the morning I am taking my first break. The puzzle is nowhere near complete, and I am frustrated like never before. How could something so simple as a puzzle, be so freakin irritating? I don't understand it, I have to applaud my grandmother for being able to complete it, according to my mother, she would sit down and complete a puzzle every few hours when she had free time. According to my father it took my sisers aunt and uncle three months to complete. My brother and I are determinded to complete it in less than a week. Our original goal was three days, but I am not so sure how well three days will work out haha
Other than that, uhmm...not much else to say, I am going to the zoo with my boyfriend in 6 hours and I should probably get some sleep but I feel so ense and awake that I am not sure how likly sleep will be for me. I may end up doing an all nighter and then crashing when I get home tomorrow haha but I might end up crashing on my poor boyfriend in the middle of the zoo XD that would be bad..
Well this is Riku, slightly frustrated, but feeling otherwise great, and signing out ^-^ have a great life, everyone!

Good Bad and Boyfriend
So I have good news and bad news, but then again, isn't life always like that?
Bad News first.
I am officially obsessed with something. Bingo. On Facebook. And I need a hero to save me from it.
Good News second.
My bestie and I had a good long conversation today on the phone, it was nice to hear her voice again. I wish we could talk more often, it was good to be able to just slow down and acatually talk, you know?
Also, the zoo trip with my boyfriend has been moved to Saturday ^-^ I know I talk about him a lot, but I only ever really talk about him on here..I mean..not many people are willing to sit down and listen to me just talk about some guy..so it is nice to have this blog thing to spill out to when I need to.
Actually, I don't think that I ever told you peoples (whoever you may be) about the fight I picked with my boyfriend about a week or so ago. He went on a trip with some of his guy friends to Pismo beach and while he was there I had my bad day where I ended up making the post titled GAH!!! in July. Well, I didn't write about it, but my boyfriend and I got into our biggest fight ever on that night/morning. He was at the beach and I was at home and we just yelled at each other and were both super pissed and it was just really bad. I was kind of scared that we might break up, but we both slept on it and we felt a little better in the morning. He ended up getting my a ring (clear with black paint saying LOVE on a white background), a pink frog and beach sand as a peace offering. We made up, but things were awkward for a while. It was three days later or whatever that we had our picnic, it was sort of as though we were going to finally move on and it really made me enjoy our relationship so much more.
Yes, we may have our ups and downs, but I really do think tha this relationship will last. I really do hope so, at least.
OH! And just one more thing I have to get off my chest before I sign off here
KYLE IS A F****** A** AND HE DOESN'T DESERVE THE AIR HE BREATHES!!!!!!!!! F****** A**HOLE!!!!!!!
I couldn't resist, perhaps I'll expand more on that little outburst next time, or at a later date, but now is not the time for it haha this is Riku, signing off and saying enjoy the little things in life ^-^ later, everyone!

Peter Pan and SacAnime Excitement
Okay, so that was interesting...let's start with the good news, shall we? I watched Peter Pan ^-^ yes that animated Disney classic with Wrndy and Tinkerbell and Peter <3 oh, it was quite enjoyable, I really did love it!
Other than that, my day was, well, average. I am still hunting for a job, and I still am cleaning the house. I am still trolling on facebook, and hanging out with friends..life hasn't been very rollarcoaster-y lately and I am very greatful for it. I just, I have been having this horrid feeling hovering over me all day, but nothing bad has happen so I'm not sure what it is, maybe just that things have seemed fairly calm for a while and I am beginning to worry about a sttorm in my future or something haha not sure.
I am very excited to be able to attend SanAnime on August 31st, however that is my 1 year anniversary with my boyfriend, so I will need to make that up to him somehow..not sure how I will be able to do that though :( any sugestions? Anyone?? Oh well, since I am so excited, I am going to tell you all about it ^-^ ready? I am going with my younger brother and older sister. I will cosplay twice, once as Amu from Shugo Chara and then again as Anri from Durarara. I am super excited because when I dress up from Amu I get to wear a pink wig and I have never worn a wig before so it is exciting for me. Ah happy times are ahead for me, I just know it! Then as Anri I get to be a quiet, kind of awkward girl wwho gets all pumped up and swings around a giant sword!!! I'm totally making it sounds a lot cooler than it really is, but who cares!!! Cosplay for the win!!!!!
This is Riku signing out and hoping you guys check out my characters, I'll be sure to post pictures after the event! Laters!!

Wishing Some Things Never Changed..
Well, what can I really say? There isn't much to say, I guess. I had a nice day today, went on a date with my boyfriend. We had a picnic and talked about all sorts of different things, then he pushed me on the swings. It was really a lot of fun haha I enjoyed it a lot and I am pretty sure that he did as well. At the end of our picnic date, he gave me an old antique ring that has been passed down through his family for generations, it is going to be our promise ring and I love it. It is gold and has four leaves on it and it fits perfectly on my index finger, a little too big for my ring finger. But it is perfect! I keep looking at it while I am typing and I keep smiling at it, that boy haha he is so silly ^-^
So I have been missing my bestie a lot lately, I feel like there is a growing distance between us and I'm not sure how to mend this gap..it has been bugging me, because even when we are going good and happy with each other, it still has this awkward feel because we are normally fighting and getting along is weird. When we are fighting we want nothing to do with each other because we are just lining our words with poison and it sucks. When we aren't going good, but just not fighting, we are even more awkward because it is all like "uhmmm.....WTF are we suppose to do here? I have so much I want to tell you but then again this awkwardness is really just..I wanna escape..." or does that not make sense to you guys? Or maybe it does? Or doesn't..whatever! But seriously!!! I wanted so badly to call her up the ssecond I got home from my boyfriends and tell her everything that happened and about the ring (I'm super excited about the ring!!!) but I didn't because I felt like she wouldn't care or wouldn't want to hear it or something and I guess I kinda chickened out, huh? While we are still besties and all, it doesn't always feel like I can just call her up any time I want to and it pisses me off because I wish I could feel like she would answer me any time..
Well..we are both making out costumes for Holloween, it's been a lot of fun, but I am afraid that this might be our last Holloween together..
