Matt and I are in the midst of writing a business plan for our store, which we have decided to name Little Akiba after the Akihabara district near Tokyo, Japan. Akihabara is best-known as one of the largest shopping areas on Earth for electronic, computer, anime, and otaku goods. The locals refer to it as Akiba. So far, this has been the hardest thing I've had to do - I guess because so much hinges on it and it is completely new territory - I've never had to write a business plan, have you?). We have found a perfect spot for lease only five blocks away from our house, and the property owner seemed incredibly interested in our ideas for the shop. She sent me an email tonight to tell me someone else who has shown interest in the location is ready to finalize a lease on Monday *gulp* Must move fast. Finish the plan, show it to who we have to show it to, cross fingers and hope we haven't lost the opportunity at this location. Not that we wouldn't continue to pursue it at another place, but who wouldn't like to work five blocks away from their house? 
So, please, keep your fingers crossed for Matt and I. We can use all the help we can get. It's a very nervous and exciting time for us!

"Welcome to Thunderdome, bitch!"
If any of you have worked as a waiter/waitress or kitchen staff of a restaurant and want to see an absolutely hilarious and accurate depiction of the hell it is to work in that industry - you must check out this movie:
"Waiting..." starring Ryan Reynolds. It's one of the best movies I've seen in a while - had me in stitches!

OMG this is so F-ING HILARIOUS

Tried to go to sleep at 11pm last night. Tossed and turned until about 1:45am. Woke up at 4:30 and called Matt to say Bon Voyage! Tossed and turned until 6am. Fed cats. Went to work. I am positively shaking with anticipation and excitement! I hope the guys will drive straight through and arrive sometime tonight. =}

Was gonna color Mystique last night and Photoshop CS decided not to work! *cries* My configuration had changed or something since last I used it? I dunno, but now the program won't work for me at all *sigh* Well... there's always prismacolors I guess =(
why meeeeeeeeeeeee?

Oh! And we set a date for the big day! 
October 22, 2006 =9

Gots no DSL at home, so I am only able to come in here for a few stolen minutes at work. See you guys later! =9 Hopefully, I'll have Mystique colored by then =s but I am really busy getting ready for Matt to get here in *gasp* three short weeks! omg! *giddy* =}
*runs off all giggly and goofy*
teeehehehehehehehheheeeeeee
*trips*
d'oh.

Well, my whole family officially knows about my engagement to Matt now. And they are very supportive and congratulatory about it all. I think my Dad was the most shocked out of everyone, but he has been vacationing over in Singapore, Jakarta and Bali for the past few weeks, and I told him today just as he got back to Paris. So, it was a lot to take in suddenly, poor guy hehehhe But he seemed very happy for me, and of course eager to meet Matt. I told him he could talk to his brother, my uncle, since I took Matt to meet them last month. My family who -has- met Matt really like him a lot and think very highly of him (boy, ya got 'em fooled, honey! jkjk). I've told all my really close friends and they were pretty shocked, too, because I have never been the type to go on about wanting or needing to get hitched, and now here I am the giddy bride to be. They haven't met Matt yet, but I just know they'll love him, too. The one friend I haven't told is the girl who I want to ask to be my Maid of Honor, but she has been out of town for the last two weeks. I think she gets back on Sunday and I can't wait to ask her. I hope she says yes! 
I am sorry if I haven't been as chatty or participating in wikis and stuff a lot here lately... I have so much on my mind right now. Matt will be here in a few weeks and moving in with me - I just can't wait! I look forward not only to our wedding - the biggest event of our lives - but also all the little, mundane, day to day things we will do together... taking walks, staying in bed all day, going grocery shopping, folding laundry, being couch potatoes, playing video games, drawing, reading quietly together, lots of hugging and lots of kissing *sigh*
I look forward to all those things that come with a relationship. 

Matt, I can't wait to be with you all the time. I can't wait to be your wife.
I love you, sweetheart...
xoxo
