Ryuu-chan is back from China~ I just got an email from her, so yey. She'd gone for a couple of weeks as part of one of her courses in university, and apparently had a pretty good time... but she was saying wow about how different the cultures were. I could have told her that, lol.

I'll have to have her come over to show me pictures and stuff some time soon...

Speaking of travelling... ehh, I'm supposed to go with Grandma and Jess (my second-cousin-once-removed or something like that) out East at the end of this month (the last week of June and first week of July), but honestly... I can't afford it.

I don't know what to do. Grandma's really looking forward to the trip, and has been planning on me going with her since January, and so was I-- but when I went out East last time, it cost me almost $1,000 (back in 2004), and I don't have that kind of money; and it'll cost more this time because we'll be staying in hotels instead of camping out everywhere. And gas is more expensive now. Though we won't be feeding Dake-kun, which will cut the food bill down significantly. >>;

I dunno... I've only got about $300 saved, which was in the getting-Pagan-neutered/buying-Rie fund... especially since none of the ponies I put on ebay sold. That would've been another $400-ish dollars. And I really do want to go, I've been looking forward to it for months. But I mean...

Ugh.

I guess I just need to give her a call and talk with her a bit, and we'll see...

*stumbles through the door, drops her stuff on the ground and collapses in front of the computer*

That was... not a very fun trip... =_=;;

For those of you who care to know more (Note: Original journal entries are in normal text, comments I'm adding now are in italics.)

The last entry was yesterday, and today wasn't all that exciting...

We got up and drove right to Toronto to drop Dake-kun off (he lives there) and then skipped on to visit Dad and Lois, since they live just outside of Toronto. ^^ I dropped off their souvenirs/gifts and we visited for a bit.

And I am totally adopting one of the cats there. Again.

He's grey-and-white patched, with AMAZING aquamarine colored eyes. His official name will be "Triton" (to go along with Neko, who's official name is "Osiris"), but I want another word for "cat" to call the new kitty, too, just to match... anyone got a good word for "cat" in another language?

I'll post the scenes I finished later...

EDIT: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO -CAT! ^__^

Your giffy ficcy will be finished soon, I promise!

Asha: :So she claims...:

Hush, horse! O_O;;

Just borrowing a public access computer at the YMCA in Fredrickton for a few minutes. ^^ Maaa... I miss my computer already! *sniffle* lol.

Having lots of fun, though the driving is killing me. =_=;; I'd forgotten how quickly sitting in the passanger/back seat of a car puts me to sleep... ah, but I shouldn't complain. Ryuu-chan is the only one of the three of us who can drive, so it's her who's got it hard. ^_^;;

Dake-san and I are getting along fine, which is good considering we're stuck together for the next ten days, still. ^^

Heading to Halifax next, so hopefully I can find a computer there as well. >^-^< For now, we're going to find a camping spot for the night and hunker down to get some rest. ^_~
