    There's also a surveillance video, so you can watch it happen. It was extremely nice of him not to call the cops or anything. Hopefully he actually got through to the thief.

    Okay, I'm partially posting this because I seriously need to talk to someone/rant about this, and partially because I actually do need help deciding what to do.

    First of all, compared to other problems that people have, this really won't seem like a big deal to anyone, and I know that I should just grow up and that I shouldn't be bothered by this, but it's a big deal to me.

    Every year at the beginning of summer break, my family goes to a lake for about a week, and my sister and I both bring friends with us. It's always really fun, and everyone looks forward to it. In the past, I've been allowed to bring one friend, so I would bring one of my two best friends, depending on who wasn't busy (it always worked out that one of them couldn't go anyways, so there were never any hard feelings about the other not being able to come). Now, I've been friends with these people for almost seven years, and they, along with a couple others, are the best friends anyone could ever ask for, and I've always known that our friendship would be able to last even after we went our separate ways when we graduated from high school. So I wasn't all that worried this year when we started college. All of us are at different schools, but we haven't really had a problem keeping in touch, and even though we haven't seen each other that often, we talk all the time, so I've been feeling like we're still as close as ever.

    So this year, my parents told me that I could bring up to three friends on this trip. So of course I invited the two I usually invite, we'll call them Annie and Michelle, and also one of my other very best friends, we'll call her Nia. I told the first two about the trip around three months ago, and I told Nia about a month ago. They all said they could come, and that they were excited.

    About three weeks ago, Annie informed me that she would be staying at college this summer because of summer school. I was disappointed, but of course I understood, and since her college is pretty close to the lake she said that maybe she would be able to drive down for a couple days. That's fine with me, and I still would have my other two friends there, so I tell her not to worry about it and that we'd do something together another time.

    So then about a week ago I emailed all three of them, reminding them of the dates and stuff like that, and informing Michelle and Nia that Annie wouldn't be able to be there but might drop by for a few days. Michelle emailed me back, saying once again that she was very excited. Then I got an email from Nia. She said that she was sorry, but she'd just finished making plans for one of her friends from college to visit her that week. I was kind of confused, because she'd already said she could come, but I figured she'd either just forgotten the dates or that was the only time her friend could visit. But that was okay, because Michelle would still be there. Michelle is my best friend out of all of them. We've known each other the longest, and we've been extremely close for years. So I was happy that at least she would be there.

    So today I got an email from Michelle. She said that she was offered a job for a two week soccer camp (she's like a soccer star) and that one of the weeks was the same week as the trip. She said that she was sorry, but it didn't look like she was going to be able to make it. I didn't really know how to respond. She's been saying for months that she would be able to go, and now all of a sudden she's bailing because of a two week job?

    Now all of a sudden, I have no friends going with me. I started out with three. Annie of course has a very good reason, which I completely understand, and she told me a while ago that she wouldn't be able to make it, so I'm completely fine with that. Nia has a slightly worse reason, but I figure that maybe it was my fault for not emailing a reminder about the dates sooner. I'm a little annoyed about that, but I can let it slide. But as for Michelle... I just don't understand. I know that having a job is important, but first of all, we had planned on applying for jobs together when we started break next week, and second of all, it's only for two weeks. I feel really hurt; is she really willing to ditch me for something like that? We're so close that we're practically like sisters; or at least we used to be. It hit me that maybe college actually has caused my friends and I to grow apart more than I realized; maybe I was just in denial all this time, thinking that nothing had changed, and that we were still just as close as ever. It hurts me to think about that; I always tell myself how lucky I am to have found friends like them, and I've always wondered what I did to deserve them being in my life. The idea of losing that friendship is very painful to me. I know that that's part of growing up, and everyone says that people tend to lose stuff after high school, but I honestly thought that our friendship was stronger than that.

    I'm also kind of pissed because this is so last minute. Anyone else that I would consider inviting either has plans or gets sea sick (so a lake trip is not for them). And besides, they're really the only ones I wanted to be there. Now I'm just going to be there by myself, while my younger sister and her friends try to "include me", no doubt due to my mother's urging. The thought of that is so pathetic that it makes me want to cry. Can I really not find anyone to go with me??

    I know that I may be making too big a deal out of this, but I just can't help but feel hurt and angry because of this. Of course they don't have to go, but the fact that they said that they would and then turned around and said that they couldn't really confuses me.

    So anyways, here's the part I need help with. I emailed Michelle back and said that it was okay, but that now I would be all by myself, so I didn't really know what to do. She emailed me back and said that she felt bad. She said that maybe she should go instead of taking the job, since she didn't say yes yet. But I can tell that she really wants the job. She seems to be waiting for an answer from me about what she should do. On the one hand, I don't want to tell her that she has to come, because I feel like that wouldn't be right. But on the other hand, I want her to be there. Would it be totally awful for me to tell her not to take the job just because she made a commitment to me first? I just don't know... if anyone wants to give their opinion on this it would really help me a lot.

    Thank you to anyone who actually read all that. And sorry if some of it didn't make sense or something, I typed this out kind of quickly.

    I got this from another forum. Quoted:

    "But here at the anime con in NC, Vic Mignogna said some things at a Q&A I thought you guys might want to know. He wants to begin practicing ministry (at the church he attends). Seriously everybody there gave out a huge gasp. One girl actually cried, yes cried. Anyway, he still has some anime shows that he is doing and currently in the process of dubbing, but after that, he is pretty much done with anime. He said he was going to make an anouncement on his website next week about the news to his fans. I thought I would let you guys know, if you care that is."

    In case any of you don't know, Vic is the voice of Edward Elric from FullMetal Alchemist, along with Dark from D.N.Angel, Fay from Tsubasa Chronicle, and Tamaki from Ouran High School Host Club. He's been in many many other things as well, obviously, but these are a few of his most famous roles.

    On the one hand, I am a huge fan of his work, and it makes me sad that he's leaving. On the other hand, this will allow some new voices to be heard, and open up some more jobs for talented VAs that may have otherwise been overlooked. So I'm torn on how I feel about this... Good for him for pursuing what he loves though I guess.

    And lol at the fact that a girl cried XD

    EDIT: Apparently this was all a hoax. Sorry for the scare!! But the possibility of this can still be discussed. I know a few people who were actually happy when they thought this was true (though I have no idea why... I was devastated D: )...

    Today in acting class, this one girl was like, "Something smells funny... do you smell that?" I wasn't really paying attention, as I was talking to some other people, so I didn't really think much of it.

    So the girl reaches into her bag and then suddenly lets out this ear piercing scream, causing everyone in the class to jump/freak out and our teacher to come running in.

    There was a dead rat in the girl's bag.

    I almost gagged.

    So I had to choose a movie to write about for film class, and West Side Story was on the list of approved movies we could watch, so I thought, "Hey, I've always wanted to watch this cause everyone's always talking about it, this is my chance!"

    So I watched it...

    And, I've gotta say, I really don't see why people like it so much. I basically felt like making fun of it/laughing the entire time -_- Some of the songs were kind of catchy, but, I mean, the entire thing was just kind of... silly. Definitely not what I expected at all. And it was reeeally long, and parts of it were very slow (in my opinion).

    Has anyone else seen it? Do you disagree/agree with my opinion of it?
