It's been a fantastic day.

So for my birthday this year, Osaka and I talked it over, and I'm purchasing a doll on layaway via Luts, just in time for their summer event. I've made two of my three payments per the layaway agreement and in two weeks I will make the final payment and will have properly secured a Ttory (for whom I have always had a soft spot) in the Real Skin Brown, with a lovely wig, in "natural black". Osaka has graciously agreed to do the faceup for me, and I am looking forward to having a beautiful tan MSD.

In addition to that I have had a fortuitous day today. I woke up in excruciating pain with a migraine coming into fullswing, but decided to take something for it and gut it out for adventuring with Osaka and Ringo. And Adventure we did.

First we ran into an old friend, who is also a doll friend (Syrinfox, who does the beautiful feathered wings), at the Mongolian BBQ place we went for lunch. I was peering at her baby boy because he looked very familiar (I recognized him from a recent facebook post about him eating) but I hadn't looked up at Mom, until she greeted us with a smile. We caught up briefly and agreed that we should meet up and talk dolls or just hang out soon. It was a very pleasant surprise.

We then stopped by our favorite Asian decor etc store and Osaka got me a beautiful pink dragon that's scaled as a lovely LARGE statue for SD scaled decor. She got herself a couple of tidbits as well, a smaller dragon, and a tiny Guan Yu.

Then we hit up the mall, Osaka got a gorgeous tote with an octopus on it, at Francescas, I got her some Autobot earrings at Hot Topic, she got Dynasty Warriors 8 Extreme Legends at Game Stop, and then we hit up Build A Bear, where Ringo got Sweetiebell (He wanted Scootaloo but they were out), and I got the VERY LAST How to Train Your Dragon 2 hoodie for one of my stuffies.

Then we stopped at Barnes and Noble in the cafe for a snack and for me to take another pain killer. After a bit when we'd finished out tidbits we decided to take in a movie, and chose Malificent over Godzilla because my poor head could not take all the explosions today.

So we made our way over to the theater and were about an hour and change early but went on in. I was wearing my bright turquoise "Free Hugs" shirt pictured with an aggressive looking bear, and got hugged by two (teen) guys who were really chill and amusing. The first looked at me and said, with a voice of almost awe "Free Hugs?" and extended his arms in invitation. I smiled and leaned in and laughed and give him a hug, and he promptly turned to his friend and said "Dude! Look at his shirt! Free hugs!" And so I hugged his friend as well. It was so much fun, and a reminder of why I like Virginia Beach quite so much.

We sat in a quiet remote part of the outer theater area until it our theater was open for seating. I got us popcorn and soda, while Ringo and Osaka secured us some nice seats. It was a FANTASTIC film, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who may have been on the fence about it.

Afterwards we walked home and I took more pain medicine and relaxed on the sofa while Osaka and Ringo went on to the store and got dinner.

It's been a beautiful and fantastic day, despite my persistent pain and discomfort and I look forward to another beautiful day tomorrow.

The only downside to our adventuring, is that I missed my window of opportunity to speak with Steve via skype. Hopefully we can do so tomorrow. I might also go swimming and play with more of my dolls. :)

I apologize for any big spelling or grammatical errors. I'm currently pretty heavily drugged so that I can function and it makes focusing on the details a little difficult.
