Three days postless

...which means that I'm falling down on the job! Well, I'll go over all the interesting things that happened these past three days. (Don't worry, there weren't very many).
On Saturday, I slept in 'til four (despite multiple attempts by my family at waking me), sleeping off the approximately thirty-two hours straight I'd been awake. In the evening I hung out with a couple of friends and watched Wall-E. For those of you who haven't watched it, I recommend that you do! Even with Wall-E's personal cuteness aside, I found it an all around adorable movie. It had a corny ending, but it's Disney, so that's only to be expected. (For those of you who have seen it, the little robot that hisses at the captain is my favourite! XD).
On Sunday, I went to a local bazaar. Not one of those school Christmas fairs or church bake sales, but a bazaar filling an entire (large) synagogue with clothes, furniture, fabric, toys, and lots and lots of vicious, pushy people. The items are in new condition (unless they've been damaged by the rabid hordes of shoppers), mostly sample items from various companies that the workers acquire then sell to raise money for their synagogue. Tables and racks are periodically marked down to super low prices by a guy with a red flag and a megaphone, causing waves of people to converge on the spot, tearing the items away and buying them before they've even looked at them, with Mr. Megaphone Man (his nametag says 'Bub') encouraging them to hurry and get in there and grab those low priced items! It's kind of barbaric, in my opinion, but it's a very interesting experience. It wasn't my first time there, so I knew what to expect, and I found some very nice clothes, belts, and even a dress! It's a turquoise gown, floor length, open back with straps in an X across it, with a light train sort of layer thing in back. It's kind of hard to describe, as most fancy dresses seem to be, so I will probably add a picture of it (and maybe even me in it) later. (If I'm too tired tonight, then I'll just include a photo with my next post).
Today, I'm getting ready for cadets, ironing my uniform, finding my wool socks, etc. Ugh. Tonight we're seeing off a high-ranking cadets who's aging out, so I want to be there, but I think it might be my last night. Honestly, I don't even finish like finishing the year anymore. Sigh. Well, either way I'm going tonight, and as long as I'm doing something I want to do it properly, so I'll fix my uniform up and whatnot.
Well, that's all that's interesting in my life lately, so...Ah, wait! I was reading the first volume of Naruto (for the first time. I started on the second volume XP), and I found the funniest scene, so I'd like to share. I'm not sure if people who don't read the series and know the characters will really appreciate it, but oh well. I'm including it in this post anyway XD.

Three ninja students, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke have just met their new teacher, Kakashi.
Kakashi: Now, I'd like you all to tell us a little bit about yourselves.
Sakura: Like what?
Kakashi: You know, the usual. Your favorite thing...What you hate most...Dreams, ambitions, hobbies. Things like that.
Naruto: Help us out here, coach. You go first. Show us how it's done.
Sakura: That's right...After all, you're a complete stranger to us... A mystery.
Kakashi: Oh...me? My name is Hatake Kakashi. I'm the kind of person who doesn't feel like talking about his likes and dislikes! My dreams for the future are none of your business...But anyway, I have lots of hobbies...
Sakura: *Mutters* He said a lot, but all we really learned was his name.
Kakashi: Now, it's your turn. Starting with you on the right.
Naruto: Me, right? My name is Uzumaki Naruto! What I like is an instant cup of ramen! What I like even better is when Master Iruka treats me to ramen at the Ichiraku Noodle Bar! What I hate is the three minute wait after I pour in the boiling water.
Kakashi: (thinking) He appears to have nothing more on his mind than ramen...
Naruto: My dream is to one day be a better shinobi than Lord Hokage!! And then all the villagers will have to acknowledge my existence at last!!
Kakashi: (thinking) Well, hasn't he turned out interesting...
Naruto: My hobbies are...Pranks and practical jokes, I guess.
Kakashi: I see...Next!
Sasuke: My name is Uchiha Sasuke. There are plenty of things I hate, but I don't see that it matters, considering there is almost nothing I do like. It seems pointless to talk about 'dreams'...That's just a word. But what I do have is determination. I plan to restore my clan. An there's someone I have sworn...to kill.
Sakura: (thinking) He is so cool!
Naruto: (thinking)
Sure hope it's not me...*Shiver*
Kakashi: (thinking)
...I suspected as much...And finally, the young lady...
Sakura: I am Haruno Sakura. My favorite thing is...Well it's not a thing, it's a person. A boy...and that boy is...Uh...Let's move on the my dream.
...
*Blush*
Kakashi: ...
Sakura: I hate...Naruto!!
Naruto (who has a crush on her): What?!
Sakura: My hobbies are...
Kakashi: (thinking)
It sounds as though young girls are more interested in love than ninjutsu...Enough! I believe we all understand one another. Formal training begins tomorrow.

Well, now there really is nothing more I want to say! (Not to mention I should be eating supper). Until next time,

Emi

Oh, I watched Wall-E the other day, and I thought it was pretty deep for a Disney movie! I was impressed because most Disney movies are just icky, but I really liked this one!

Yeah! The fact that Disney even acknowledges pollution kinda surprised me XD. All the little robots were just so likable, it's hard not to enjoy the movie. ^__^
