Well, today us my 18th birthday. It's 11:30 right now so HA!

In lue of an actual party, I went to Medieval Times and Mitsuwa (sp?) (The very large Japanese grocery just a couple of minutes outside of NYC) With family, I didn't even bring one friend

My mom says I might be able to have a small BBQ later this summer, but between money troubles, prom, and animenext, we didn't have time or money to plan anything.

Mitsuwa has this large grocery store, and right outside of it, in the same building, are several small restaurants, a tea shop, and a FINE tea snack shop (Like, a package of 10-15 costs a good 20-30 dollars, depending on what you get), and then outside of the building are some other Japanese shops. First we ate lunch at one of the restaurants outside of the grocery (We got the special, Gyudon, beef bowl (which I had made many times for my mom, basically, beef and onions in a teriyaki and dashi sauce, on top of a very large bowl of rice) and soba noodles. They had to have given us about 2 cups of rice! I was the only one who finished mine), went grocery shopping (Making sure to only buy stuff I couldn't get at the Hong Kong supermarket, since that one is cheaper. I got Green Tea with Cherry Blossom, Japanese Bath Salts, and a couple of other things I can't remember) Then we went to the Japanese book store outside of the grocery (I got a copy of Cure and the latest Gosu Rori) then to a Japanese Import Store (I got a parasol, white with a black design, a new Mr. Pickles, and a Brush Pen, which I'm fooling around with. It's fun <3)

Then I went home, rested for a little, then went right back out to get my cake. I got a very large, very rich cake.

Then Medieval Times! I got the black and white knight, and FOR ONCE our knight won. It was great.

Also, Micheal Jackson and Farrah Fawcett died today. Two famous deaths on my 18th birthday, one of one of the most famous musicians of the 20th century.

I can't wait to tell my kids that.

Yes, it's taking me FOREVER to complete page 3. It's got a real background, and I've been procrastinating on it A LOT. It's actually becoming a huge pain in my ass...

On the plus side, I also finished sketching the next couple of pages, so it's continuing. And I did a few more character designs....
