SIX DAYS. OMG, SIX DAYS. I'm spazzing out right now, and it's way to late for me to be so awake. Still, every time I think about it, I start to get all antsy and hyper and nervous and terrified and... I'm running out of adjectives to describe my emotional state. For anyone totally confused to me being so out of whack, I'm heading out to Ottawa in six days time, (SIX MOTHER-WHOOPING DAYS) to meet my boyfriend for the first time! It's going to be one hell of a fun time, and I plan to enjoy every single second of it! The plan is I'll catch a train to Kitchener, then to Mississauga where he and his mom will pick me up and drive me the rest of the way to their place. During my stay there I have the best friend ever watching my apartment and my kitten, while I'm free to go slightly insane. Of course, I plan to spend the first day in a near catatonic state of embarrassment, terror, and excitement. I'll likely refuse to even speak. All he'll get out of me will likely be awkward squeaks, a whispered hello and probably a lot of head nodding or shaking. I'm lucky he's patient. :XD:

Anyway, in preparation for this meet... I've kinda gone all out. Got my hair did, (a bit of a trim but mostly layering and thinning out my extremely thick hair) and then my eyebrows waxed. I hate getting my eyebrows done. It's painful and annoying. Actually, that's a lie. The waxing part isn't what I find painful, it's the tweezing that comes afterwards. I don't know why that hurts more than the RIPPING HAIR IN LARGE AMOUNTS FROM YOUR SKIN but it does. I guess it's because the skin is tender from the wax...? Regardless, I regret nothing. I looked at myself in the mirror afterward and grinned sheepishly at my sister when she caught me. Embarrassing as it is to admit... I really want to look pretty for this visit. I've already laid out the outfit I'll be wearing for the meet and my accessories... Which is tremendously out of character for me. Asking anyone who knows me in person will tell you I really don't give a damn about my personal appearance as far as fashion goes. I wear what's comfortable. I tend to lean towards darker clothing, but lately my taste has extended to all types of colours but similar style of garments. I loathe sleeves, always have, so my choice of shirts are always tanktops or beaters. I've finally let go of my obsession for pants and am starting to wear khakis, but I refuse still to get into shorts unless I'm swimming... I'm getting off tangent.

So, this week is basically all about preparation. I'm going to schedule an eye-exam, (unless I can manage a walk-in) register for summer school before my leave, refill my prescriptions, get my June bus-pass, buy my bus tickets, and then buy some cat food and litter along with a bit of junk food for my lover who's graciously volunteered to cat-sit. I'll likely also go on a music and video downloading spree, maybe take a stop at the used bookstore, and whatever else I may have forgot about in the meantime... I'll likely be reminded as I go on with my errands... Oooh, I'm shuddering with anticipation!

Anyway, so today I went to visit my parents for the weekend to settle my nerves and get some last-minute advice. Yesterday I had lunch with my Mom, (Well, I guess two days ago, now) and we discussed long and hard everything I have planned. Of course, Mom is more terrified than I am, but then again... Out of her four daughters, I'm the last one to have ventured into the world of true romance. I'm pretty much as lily-white as it comes. Never kissed a boy, never had a boyfriend, never even really embraced a guy of the opposite sex who wasn't family... This will be a brand-new experience for me, and I think it was hard on Mom to have me let go. While I'm not the youngest child... I still am the last to hit my "adolescence". Even Dad seems a bit unnerved by that, and he''s not really showy with his displays of emotion. It's kind of freaky, lol. Still, they all see how happy I am, so I think they're eased by that... At least, I hope. I had to of course promise Mom nightly calls and texts, as well as calling my Grandmother at least twice during my trip... I think they're scared I'm going to just elope or something. ^^; Ah, paranoid family, how you frustrate yet fondly exasperate me. I love you. :3

So, while out with my family on the way to their home... My little sister had to stop at Fabric Land to get materials to make her project in Fashions class... a kimono! Oh god, I turned as green as the fricken Hulk when she told me this weeks ago! Of course, she had to follow it up with the coy promise that maybe she'd make me one in time for Anime North next year. I was like "...Please?"  I'd love a kimono... Of course, the problem is that I've no idea what colours suit me fashion wise, if I'd really look good in one, and if she's even serious about making me one, but... KIMONOSOMGKIMONOSONG! -cough- Sorry, was my inner weaboo showing there? My apologies...

So, that's roughly all the news I have to give you. I'm hyper, ready to burst, and also in sore need of sleep. This may be my last journal entry for a few weeks, (maybe?) so when I next update there will be a ton of news and excitement and dishing the dirt on my stay... and maybe some pictures. Maybe. :3
