So, according to Kaitlyn's LiveJournal, Shannon went into labour last night. I can't help but feel a little...surprised and upset at the fact that Shannon doesn't seem to have tried to contact me at all about it. This is the reason I came back from Sackville for the entire summer. I just feel so helpless here, and upset. I think I'll try calling the hospital...

I want to go there...but I have no way of doing it, plus I'm not sure if I'm even wanted there.

So, Shannon had her baby this morning. Apparently her family is utterly useless at calling people about such things, since she didn't have the energy herself. This is not sometime I expected to be hearing about over LiveJournal -_-

I spazzed out when talking to Shannon briefly before, so I don't know weight or if she has a name (I don't think she does, since Shannon referred to her as "baby", but you never know), all I know is that she's had her first bath and is about to try breastfeeding. And that I'll be seeing her in 3 hours or so.

The good thing is I can kill time on the internet now. I hate having dial-up at times like these. Really hate it.

OMG, I almost forgot...

I HAVE THE GENBU KAIDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Silver Snail got it in on Wed, I sent the girl back to find it and she did. It was great. I really enjoy it. Also, oddly enough, my favourite character so far is THE LOVE INTEREST. Now, I love Watase manga, I really do...but usually I'm not huge fans of the Love Interests. I like them and all, but I usually like TRIANGLE GUY better. But not in this case. It's odd.

Limdo is so messed up. I love it.

I also think it's interesting, that they are using the senshi's real names more than their celestial warrior names (think Hou Jun instead of Chichiri). It's very odd. And going to confuse me, since I'll know each character by two names (with Fushigi Yuugi: Suzaku/Seiryuu Chichiri's real name is the only one I know =P)

Takiko also is very cool. I'm really sad because we know that her story doesn't end overly well ;_; It's also odd seeing her, since I've gotten used to the character as being Felicia in Himitsu.

I also think it's cool that Watase went with the same setting as the FY:SS anime had for Takiko and later Suzuno...a nice touch, since it was a great addition to things.

Anyway, can't wait for the next volume, but it will be awhile. Which is probably good. Because I have no money and new vols of Gravi and FY are out, as well as all that Ceres manga =P

Still a bit miffed over the whole not being told that Shannon had had her baby thing, but oh well, I'll be seeing her in a hour and that will be exciting.

So, saw the baby, she is very cute. 8 pounds, 6 ounces I believe, born at 6:18 AM, once again if memory serves me. Apparently Shannon hasn't really had the energy to call anyone, so I shouldn't feel insulted...hopefully she would have phoned me eventually, if I hadn't found out first. It definitely is a unique way to find out that one of your best friends has had a baby, over another friend's blog =P

The baby does not have a name yet, the two options left are Samantha and Jessica. VERY MUCH hoping against Jessica, since the world really has enough of them =P I wish Evelyn was still in the running, but Shannon decided she doesn't look like an Evelyn. Shame. It's a nice name, though I could never use it myself, since it's my grandma's name (unless I was naming the child after my grandma, of course, though I don't really see myself doing that).

Anyway, spent a nice two hours talking and holding the baby and seeing her have her first hiccups (so adorable!). Good times. Now I have a nice last memory of the Queensway Carleton Hospital, replacing the last one which was of my grandpa dying there (and my dad had his surgery there last year, but I wasn't around so I don't really have a memory of that connected to the hospital).
