feeling: you know, not bad
listening to: BLOOD - Mebious no Wa (Mebious' Loop... no idea who Mebious is...)
Once again, my lurve, thank you SOOO much for loaning me this CD. ^u^ *is in love* I can't wait to translate these suckers.
I'm still not gonna try to re-type that big blog I lost yesterday, but I am going to mention part of it that didn't get enough attention yesterday. Unfortunately it will be in the form of a Gaki rant. -_- I was in such a remarkably good mood today and yesterday, and now I have to rant about the evil of all evils. Grr. Oh well... one of the main points of it is that she failed in ALL of her attempts this weekend - yet again - so my good mood should remain intact. :P
So first of all, yesterday at grandma's. I mentioned my Nephy adores me, right? Well, since his parents couldn't make it to our dinner yesterday, I was the only person he wanted to help him, play with him, entertain him, etc. for the duration of the day. Needless to say, this cheesed Gaki off to no end. Her only goal in life is to steal his attentions from me and try to appoint herself as his favorite person, which apparently she thinks should automatically be the case just because she's her. >.> But anyway, she spent much of yesterday pouting and whining becuase her attempts to win him from me only succeeded in making him dislike her more and cling to me more. Which I get SUCH a kick out of. Few things please me more than seeing that worthless brat fail in her attempts to take over the world. :P
Anyway, on to the point. After some failures with Nephy yesterday, when most of the family was kinda hanging around her basketball net informally taking turns shooting random hoops, my dad initiated the all-time classic Kodak moment: big strong grandpa lifting up his shrimpy 2-year-old grandson so he can slam dunk a full-sized basketball (or the smaller kiddie-sized one someone brought out later) in an adult-sized hoop. But of course, after dad did this for him once, from then on I was the only one he would allow to help him make shots. And did he ever attempt a lot of shots. x.x My arms are barely long and strong enough to lift him up to a net like that, let alone over and over and over, but apparently he didn't mind.
Anyway, a couple times Gaki tried to take over and lift him up for a try, but he would have none of it and just kept running to me. Now we get to the fun part. Somewhere in this time, I was chasing after the larger ball or something, and I felt the smaller one slam me on the head. The thower, needless to say, was Gaki.
Now, I don't think I'd go so far as to say she did it on purpose. For one, my dad was watching her and he said he didn't see any intention in it. For two, Gaki doesn't have that kind of aim. Even if I hadn't been a moving, half-running, ducking target, she wouldn't have that kind of aim from as far away as she was. However, she did seem pretty proud of herself afterward, and Dumplin's certain she saw the little demon spawn smiling that evil malicious smile she gets when she thinks she's about to win.
This is the funny part though. Hours later, we returned to grandma's to pick up some stuff, and Gaki came in and directly apologized to me for hitting me on the head with the ball. After which grandma immediately asked her "There, do you feel better now?", to which Gaki replied "That's been weighing on my conscience all day." I was SO close to saying something to the effect of "Let's hear your definition of conscience, brat." ><; I swear she doesn't have one. She doesn't know the meaning of guilt. But my guess is that Gakidaddy gave her one of his halfhearted attempts at a stern lecture and not so gently encouraged her to apologize to me.
Anyway... point of this little tale is that I don't believe the hit to my head was planned, but I do think she was pretty proud of herself for landing the hit. Which is fine with me, cause that ball was too dinky to have even caused Nephy any pain, let alone someone with as hard a head as me. :P Score one more loss for Gaki.
Now we move on to tale #2, which took place in church this morning. So me, Gaki, Jess, Chase, Cassie, and a few other people did a little puppet show as an Easter special for the kids, after which me and Jess had to immediately take off to join the rest of the choir for our number. And because there's not much space behind the puppet stage, especially with 8 or 9 people back there, and kneeling is enough of a pain as is, me and Jess typically take off our shoes when we're puppeting. So we did, and left them next door in the fellowship hall. After our puppet show, we went back to retrieve our shoes, and mine were where I'd left them, but Jess's were gone. We turned most of the building upside down looking for them, but found nothing, so she had to join the choir barefoot. Which made me in my heeled sandals feel REALLY tall, but that's another story. :P
Anyway, as we were passing through the fellowship hall to join the choir, Gaki stopped me, looking quite proud, and said "I know who took your shoes." I kinda gave her a look and told her mine were where I'd left them; I was even wearing the things. So she replied, "Those brown wooden-looking ones?" or something, and I told her no, those were Jess's. She sat there quiet for a second, with that pouty look on her face, and after some 'careful' deliberation told me that Chase and Cassie had hidden them. But I ignored her, quite sure she was lying and with very little time to care. Later, after me and barefoot Jess had already joined the choir, Cassie turned up in the back of the sanctuary and signaled to Jess that she'd found the missing shoes.
Now, I know Cassie. If she'd been in on hiding them as Gaki accused her, she would never have come clean so easily, let alone been the one to inform her victim that the missing item was found. I'm just about 100% sure what happened. Gaki stole and hid the shoes, thinking they were mine. She was quite proud of her little escapade when she pulled me aside to tell me she knew what had happened to them, that she'd seen Chase and Cassie hide them. But when I thwarted her by informing her that those were not my shoes, she launched into another dejected pout fest and carried on with her lie, accusing Chase and Cassie anyway. Then, after I left, she was so frustrated at her mixup that she returned the shoes, more than likely making a big show over being the One out of all of us to have finally found them when they were so well hidden. As if it makes her a hero in the eyes of God and all His creation. -_-
So yeah. Apparently she's tired of torturing Dumplin', and I'm her new target, almost assuredly because my nephew loves me more than her. But, to her extreme displeasure, her first two attempts on my sanity and well-being failed miserably. She thought a dinky kid-sized basketball to the head and a pair of shoes "lost" in a building I've known like the back of my hand for 15 years would cause some sort of unbearable misery in my life? Pathetic. Even more pathetic that she couldn't even succeed in either of them. She's torn up entire families in the past, more than once, with her jealousy and malice, and she can't even make me upset right? :P
So that's my Gaki rant for now. I could talk about some other events of the day, which also turned out amazingly pretty good given the circumstances, but I have so much reading to do it's not funny at all. I'm only here now to delay the inevitable because I'm in too good a mood (the best I've been in for 7 or 8 months, anyway) to ruin it by spending the rest of the night on homework. >.>
But now I've had my fun. Time to work. Sigh.
