I don't think I will ever look at Vocaloids the same again:

Aaaaaaaand I pissed myself...
Went to Little Tokyo this past Saturday...and found this:

It was pretty good. I had a good day.
Oh, those are pretty good. Mitsuwa stopped stocking them, though. We got something with a 7 and...I dunno. We don't have Oronamin C anymore, and it's kinda sad. But they were expensive; for something that small, $2. I usually buy cold Jasmine, Oolong, or Green tea in a bottle three times its size for that price. Then again, Japanese drink products tend to be more expensive than American drink products like Coke, Pepsi, and Snapple.

SO it's been a while since I've posted on this thread. Pretty much...missed how many incarnations now? Probably a good 2 or 3 years since I last posted? I forget. I actually don't post as much on this forum anymore; I just look around and check the toy section every now and then, post in the Transformers Prime section, sometimes post my Precure fic here, but I'm not as active in posting as I used to be way back when I joined. Actually, I think I might've hit my lucky-5 year mark. I forget.
But I've gotten my **** together these past few years. Last year in San Diego after ComicCon, I met Keith and Blade Dancer for the first time nad had a few drinks. I'm hitting the 2-year mark with my current girlfriend, and I couldn't be happier. I switched to Music Business in college to focus more on Pop than classical, and this past month has been a sheer blast. Back in 2010, I worked an unhappy job at Popeyes that lasted for 2 months until the fired me without notice or even telling me. Three years later, as of late September, after three weeks of getting off my ass and applying to 7 to 10 jobs a week, I land a lucky break and am now working at a "dream job."
Mitsuwa is a Japanese Marketplace located in 7 parts of California (San Diego, San Jose, Torrance, Irvine, Costa Mesa, San Gabriel, and Santa Monica), Chicago, IL, and here in NJ just 30 minutes from where I live with public transportation. Not only are they a Japanese grocery store, but they have a foodcourt with different selections (soba, udon, ramen, donburi, bento, etc.) to choose from. Once every month, they have events such as the Japanese summer festival, tribute fairs to places in Japan such as Osaka and Hokkaido, and other stuff. I come here more times than I count, but I never imagined that I would work at one of my favorite places in NJ.
It's an average pay, minimum wage an hour, and 26.5 hours a week. I'm proud to say that with this job, I've gotten my **** together and am stepping up in the world once more. I told myself that I'm done pitying myself and am taking everything in strides. I think I'm happy to say that I can come back to talk to you guys without feeling like an absolute broke loser, because come a year of working, I can begin to take care of myself.
