Cosplay Madness! ー 十二!
Friday, April 30, 2010 @ 1:44 AM
For some reason today I was extremely happy. I believe it is because I watched both Kill Bill movies. That always puts me in a good mood. I just love Elle Driver, she's completely awesome! I think I'm also in an excellent mood because I played MegaTen for the first time in nearly a month! I played around the American server for a while, the news of Nocturne being released buzzing through the SB and Forums. Personally, I wouldn't spend that much AP on any one item. o.o I wouldn't have even spent that much on my Chu Chu mount if I had not gotten it as a Valentines Gift from the ever awesome Leo <3 On the Japanese Server, I've finally decided on my gears and crystals but have not yet decided on my complete build. I'm going full rapid with class 3 CotW. I haven't decided if I want to add Gun Knowledge or Dodge to it. I quite fancy Dodge and it is easy to raise if someone is not taking up the Kissy Pixie. It's kind of strange, the channels unifying. I'm still a bit iffy about it but I think I'll get over it soon enough. --- For some reason I'm in such a cosplay mood! So much that I've just sent out messages for quotes on six costumes and six wigs o.o!! I can't wait to hear back from them! I don't expect any of the costumes to be ready before EPAC so that's probably going to suck major kupo nuts but I'll get over it. At least I'll be able to wear one or two of them to LCAD! Who did I send out quotes for? It's a secret! But two of them are of the same character juuust a different set of clothing (and hair xD). I've mentioned this person in this blog before ;3 think you know who it is? I'm pretty short so I know I won't look exactly awesome in these costumes but who cares? I'm happy so it's fine. One of these cosplays is actually one of the reasons I started dieting and working out. If I'm going to walk around nearly naked (goodies covered naturally :3) than I at least want to look good doing it! Ahh! I can't wait for someone to reply! (~_~^) --- (~_~^) <--- I like this face. It reminds me of someone raising their hand going, "よし!” Or "オス!” OR all ごくせん Style, "ファイト、お!” Well, I have a lot of sleeping to do so, until next time, にっこり笑ってください。 じゃね!

Hell no yet hell yes. ー 十一!
Thursday, April 29, 2010 @ 12:35 PM
So after having no service for a while I'd decided that the problem wasn't the bad weather and just the provider itself. I called Wild Blue and found out that because we 'used too much' of our internet, they'd put a restriction on us that was meant to "Slow Down" our feed. ... Slowing down and cutting us off are two very, VERY different things. Under something called "Fair Access Policy", in order to let everyone get a nice share of the satellite stream, if you go over your 'share' they put a restriction on you. ...for nearly $90 a month, I think that's the biggest piece of bull shit I've ever heard. For one, I'm pretty damn sure that this is the only house in the entire area that had Wild Blue internet. Who the hell am I sharing with? After a lot of calls and arguments, we decided the toss those asses out the window and call up Time Warner. I know I stated that I'd never experience worse service than I had when I was with Time Warner but I was wrong. So. Very. Wrong. The deal with Time Warner was that the internet would go out every night at six and stay off until around ten a.m. the next day. With my sisters and I having college as well as other reasons, we could not deal with that. That plus the fact that they would continuously postpone our appointments and such without even letting us know. A few lies later we decided to get someone else until the line was fixed. Thankfully, yesterday they stated that the problem had been fixed and so far it's looking good. I can't express how happy I am to have nice, working internet! With this working internet I am also finally able to start played MegaTen again! I sort of celebrated to myself by dancing around the house scaring the hell out of my pets and getting eyes rolled at me but hey, I'm happy. Now I can finally train the hell out of rapid without wasting chakra gums galore. Sadly, I've completely lost touch with the server so I have to track down a few people so I can see what the hell has been going on. I'm excited about the news of possibly being able to fully control your demon :3 now all I have to do is make a four-spins Chu Chu and a dyne happy Dionysus and I'll be happy ^^ -- er, add a Ranga to that <3! --- Last night and early this morning I finally and barley watched all three Back to the Future's as I'd never seen the lot of them from beginning to end before. I'd seen bits and pieces of the first two and had never seen any of the third. I have to admit, they were damn good ^^ I'd heard there might be a remake of the movies with Zac Efron playing Marty. Hmm, not a bad choice, I think. We'll see. Speaking of the movies... oh my god! Crispin Fucking Glover played his dad! That made me giddy and also made me wonder how old he is o.O; he still looks good so it's fine xD! Also, the first movie was Billy Zane's first movie :3 --- Finally, Bunraku seems to be coming underway as the actors a voice overing they're lines. I can't wait until the movie is complete! I've been waiting for a while o.o; --- Well, that's all for now! Until next time, にっこり笑ってください。 じゃね! Labels: Back to the Future, Bunraku, MegaTen, Time Warner, Wild Blue

Kyuupin ー 十!
Monday, April 26, 2010 @ 1:01 AM
Today was a pretty interesting day. I took a drive with one of my oldest friends, we'll say Miss Tweak, and her friend. It was fairly uneventful except for the fact that I encountered my first person whom was blind. She was a little girl, maybe around seven years old. At first, I was unsure about her until it was obvious. Seeing a person who is blind is an interesting thing. Their movements and the way the speak to you is completely different, obviously, and I just felt oddly comfortable with her. It's hard to explain the sort of situation it was. I can't possibly fathom how it must be being blind. --- Today was the last day of Dairy Queen's quarter Blizzard sale so my mother and I went to buy some. The deal was you buy one Blizzard and get another for just twenty-fives cents. I've never seen Dairy Queen that packed before. It was like people were coming all at once. Both the line inside and the drive-thru lines were very long. It was about a forty-five minutes wait. I have to admit, their Raspberry Truffle Blizzard is probably the best one they have. I absolutely love it! -- My laptop is acting up. The jack where you plug the charger in is broken so it only charges if it is put in at a certain specific angle. For about a week I was able to keep it at this angle with no problems but about an hour ago, I moved it on accident and now it's not charging :/ I'll end up messing with it for a while before I can get it back to normal so I have to keep this blog short so as not to run down the battery ^^ So, until next time, にっこり笑ってください。 じゃね!

New Skin ー 九
Sunday, April 25, 2010 @ 1:25 AM
So I've finally changed to a new skin! I've decided to use a skin from headlight on blogskins.com because it was very impressive and I just plain like it. I'm not too fond of the quote at the beginning but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to change it ^^; so it'll stay that way. Hmm.. I wonder if you can comment on this skin o.o ... oh well, I'll figure that out later. I haven't quite figured out the blog image thing just yet so that'll probably be fucked up until later. I'm too damn lazy to check into the coding D:; after-all, it's two thirty in the morning xD Other than that, I found this interesting passage in one of the skins I was looking at. I liked it but I really wasn't written very well. Maybe later I'll re-write it so that it makes more sense. Maybe x/ right now, I'm just kind of blah. Sleep is pulling at my sleeves so I'm going to bed. Until next time, にっこり笑ってください。 じゃね!

Yoshi! Sakusen kaigi da! -八!
Saturday, April 24, 2010 @ 9:50 PM
The other day I was really sad because regardless of trying to slim down I had gained two pounds. D: Yeah, sad day xD but it turned out that I'm the type of person who gains muscle weight easily and has to shit to make the muscle lean so that it weighs less :/ that's a lot of work, let me tell you! I woke up one day after doing some exercises unable to walk because my hip muscles hurt xD it was such a pain that I ended up not walking that night. Thankfully, I haven't over-strained my body like that since. It feels like my body is getting used to becoming active. It must have been in shock since I hadn't really done any sort of working out since I'd been on JROTC back in Freshman year ;3. I feel confident I can get into decent shape within a month or two. I was happy today just for losing the two pounds I'd gained. All it took was exercise and dancing in the dark. Since no one was home earlier tonight, I danced a lot and ended up tripping over my cat and falling. Needless to say, I don't know if I'm hurt more from the fall or from laughing my ass off and trying to console my Toby. --- Per usual, my internet is sucking so bad. Wild Blue needs to send a stronger satellite signal towards me because it is a clear day and I'm still losing connection like crazy. The DirecTV is unaffected so I know it's just Wild Blue. I haven't had a connection that lasted longer than an hour in about a week. That pisses me off so much. --- Hmm, other than that, I have ungodly want to try umaibou. I was watching アキハバラ@DEEP last night so you can understand why I'd feel this way. I want to try all the flavors, even the nasty looking one's like shrimp and mayonnaise, nattou and kabayaki. Speaking of アキハバラ@DEEP, Ikuta Toma was in that drama.... ;) 'nuff said. --- On Monday I need to call into the school to confirm the final thingies about starting in May. That sentence probably doesn't make a cent of sense to anyone but me so, lets just say I'm happy it's nearly May. I also need to pick up my new glasses on Monday. Still a bit iffy about the frames but I'll get over it eventually. I'm also excited that soon I can start my stupid Vlog that only no one will watch :3 it's just for fun anyway. As soon as I get a good signal, I'll look for a simple blogger template to replace this one as some people have told me they want to comment but can't. D: well, fine then! ^^ I'll do that sometime tomorrow morning. Until then, にっこり笑ってください。 じゃね! Labels: fail internet, umaibou, working out, アキハバラ@DEEP

Ow, my eyes! ー 七!
Wednesday, April 21, 2010 @ 11:08 PM
Finally, I'm not sick or too tired not to update this thing! Well, nothing much has happened except for the fact that my stupid satellite interwebz is failing. As with most satellite services, it gets a very weak signal in cloudy or bad weather. Why can't it be like the DirecTV and NOT fuck up right now? The television works just fine but the stupid internet has been crap for some days now :/ Stupid internet -_- well, at least Time Warner seems to be fixing the line soon so after a year with Wild Blue if it's REALLY fixed, we'll go back to Road Runner....PLEASE FIX IT D: My mother and I have been walking everyday and working out. All that good stuff which is why I hurt. My muscles are in shock as I have never stretched or done much working out in my entire life. Am I fat? No. Am I completely out of shape? Hell Yes. I hurt where I didn't know I had muscles xD it feels good ^^ Even though I haven't updated in nearly week there isn't much to say as it was an uneventful week. I'm still waiting for my new glasses to come in and I'm also happy that DOGS finally updated! ...I haven't read it yet ._. My internet doesn't wanna work for me ;~; and it apparently has a lot of Badou in it x_x P.S. Badou is on my top ten list of favorite characters in Manga. (He's VERY NEAR the top-- meaning he's number 1 xD) Yesterday I was eaten alive by blood sucking mosquitoes. It was terrible! They bit me seven times on my left calf and twice on my right...and once on my boob D: I don't know how it got there xD – ANYWAY, I don't think I've EVER itched that much in my entire life...it was to the point to where it burned and hurt to walk. It lasted until about three hours ago today :3 thankfully, garlic is a natural way to relieve itching. Speaking of itching, it's beginning to be allergy season and I hate it D<< I ALWAYS have allergies and it sucks because I get them really bad. I take pills be regardless of them being supposedly non-drowsy, an hour later I'm knocked out like it was a sleeping pill I'd taken D:. … I had a REALLY odd bad dream last night. I dreamt that Nishikawa Takanori died D: and I was SO sad. I dreamt that he was killed by a piece of food that exploded in his mouth <_< I don't even know what I was dreaming about that lead to this odd part of my dream but I was crying. I cried through out the rest of my dreams and woke up with my eyes glued together. The shock of waking up made me forget what I had been dreaming about but I had realized that I'd obviously been crying in reality. I seriously could not open my eyes and cleaning off the tears made me pull some of my lashes out and really irritated my lids horrendously. It wasn't until I was listening to a song from Honda Minako that I remembered why I was crying. ( Honda Minako was a singer who died from leukemia at the age of 38 (Takanori is 39)) I got so scared that I google'd it immediately and was (am) relieved to find out that it really HAD been a dream. Thank GOD <_< I don't like having dreams where people died D: they're no fun. Especially when they make your eye lids stick together in the morning T_T – Well, thats it for now! Time to watch Craig so until next time, にっこり笑ってください。 じゃね!

Come now my droogies! ー 六!
Saturday, April 17, 2010 @ 12:16 AM
I am SO tired for some reason. I don't think I've been getting good sleep as of late. I mean, I'm like hypersomniatic so I sleep a LOT but this week I've felt more tired than usual. I saw the optometrist today and am getting new glasses which I needed but I'm not too fond of the frames. As it is, I can't afford nice frames so I chose the 'nicest' of the cheapest xD push comes to shove, I'll get better frames at a later date. It was just a quick decision for the day. But other than that, nothing much has happened. I watched A Clockwork Orange as it was on Encore today. I love that movie, regardless of how long it is. I've read the book nearly five times and used to know NADSAT very well. Of course, having no one to speak it to, it faded away slowly. I'm still able to get the gist of it though ^^ I think one day I'll parade around dressed as Alex, drinking milk and hitting people with my cane :3 I'll probably get arrested for that xD but it'll be fun fun fun! Being this tired, I'm not bothering with anything else so, until next time, にっこり笑ってください。 じゃね! Labels: A Clockwork Orange, sleep

Tuesday, April 13, 2010 @ 10:46 PM
I love Craig Ferguson! I try to watch him every night but I usually end up missing him ^^ but when I DO catch the Late Late Show I always end up feeling so much better! He makes me laugh so is by FAR my favorite late night host :3. All his little antics are just so entertaining, it always makes me laugh and smile which is awesome! As I like the whole laugh and smile at last once a day, on days that I'm really not in the mood to do so, I find the Late Late Show does the job, regardless of how late in the day it is. Besides... he gave me the awesome tip of Orange Juice <_< ;D ANYWAY, today was a pretty good day. I watched Inglorious Bastards which was a good movie. Of course, I already went in thinking is should be as it was directed by Quentin Tarantino. It's a bad habit to think a movie is automatically good because of a certain director but I think only him and Guillermo Del Torro are the directors I view highly. Both have never disappointed me so I feel I can watch their movies like this :D – Not much to type today except that I'm trying to get used to being MegaTen-less. It's kinda hard when something that was a big part of your everyday life is suddenly absent. It's like...rehab...MMO rehab! Withdrawal symptoms! Gah! I'm also trying to get used to my laptop being a douche and not holding a charge longer than five seconds. It's frustrating when I want to do something and can't. I'm hopeless without the interwebz. D; my Otaku-ness is suffering because of this! Uwah! I wish there were orz in real life ^^... I've played MegaTen for too long, it seems ._. I've also started walking and eating a bit more healthier. Call me vain buut I hate being tubby :/ and I hate feeling unwell. Once I start feeling sickly more than often I usually find that taking a walk everyday or dancing makes me feel a lot better. I also don't mind the way I look after a while of this ;3 if anything, this is a good thing. Who said Otaku had to be heavy set and unruly looking? (Yes, I just insulted the Otaku of the world xD) Be fit and happy ^^ it's super effective! Well, that's all I really have to say for today. Until next time, にっこり笑ってください。 じゃね!

Oh, really? ー 四!
@ 12:43 AM
It's spring and that means allergies. I hate having allergies because with me they get so bad I don't feel like doing anything all day. Whiich, I didn't. I slept to about three in the afternoon actually ^^ Yesterday (Sunday), I spent the day with my dad and his family. We watched Clash of the Titans whiiich I guess wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I loved the cameo of the gold owl! That made my day, actually :3 -- the rest of the movie was alright, more eye candy than anything but not bad. The original is still better, by far. Afterward, we went to a lot of different places looking for furniture and a high-chair for my step-sisters baby. Her baby is adorable, six months old and learning to crawl. And apparently he likes carrot cake, or so we guessed by his happy expression from when my dad gave him some at HomeTown Buffet. When I got home, my dad stayed for a bit to help my sister and I fix our bikes as we have been wanting to go riding for a while now. He ended up doing all the work since I'm such a weakling that I wasn't able to remove the tire from the rim ._.; I did try though ^^. -- Last night I FINALLY watched Sasuke 23 and let me tell you, it was intense! Three All-Stars got to stage three! I was so excited that Yamamoto Shingo was doing so well that even when he had to stop on the first obstacle of the third stage I didn't mind much. I had remembered that he'd hurt his shoulder before and figured this was the reason which I was right. I hope it heals up and that he is able to come back during 24! He's bound to make it all the way one of these seasons :p <3. Nagano made it to stage four again! I think if he had one second more he would have become the winner of Sasuke once again ..., it was a close one! That man is probably in the best shape of his life because of this show, and I think a lot of people enjoy watching him compete ^^. I think this was by far my favorite Sasuke yet what with the All-Stars returning to their former glory and all the little in-betweens that had happened I can't wait for Saturday when Sasuke 24 airs! -- Today, that being Monday, I woke up and just played Dynasty Warriors Empires with my sister all day. We defeated Ruler mode which took the whole day but it was fun so we didn't care. I have to say, I love the Dynasty Warrior games a lot and of course love the original story, Romance of the Three Kingdoms (so much that I have a sixteen dollar fine at the library for keeping the book out for nearly three months xD). I'd heard that there was going to be a remake of the live drama later this year so I'm excited about that ^^ ... My laptop just died and it doesn't look like it's going to charge anytime soon so I had to move to my desktop. :/ Earlier this year I broke the charger to the point that I think I broke the jack inside of the laptop and it has just gradually gotten worse x_x; so I think I'm laptopless for a while :3 I'll just have to see how much it'd cost to get it fixed sometime soon. I just hope it can get enough charge so that I may get a few documents off of it before hand. Ahh... just another expense that I can't afford :/ life sure is great when you're jobless -_-; Well, I guess I'll sleep for now. Until next time, にっこり笑ってください。 じゃね!

So, that happened.ー 三!
Saturday, April 10, 2010 @ 10:14 PM
Well, last night was just terrible <_<;
'Someone' got drunk and broke my step-father's ash tray...a very old, glass tray at that. I ended up cutting my feet and fingers picking it up, which sucked a lot. I don't think my mom or him noticed yet but I know damn straight that the person responsible is going to have to buy a new one before my step-dad come's back from the road (he's a truck driver).
Today, on the other hand, was an alright day. Through-out the day, my mom and I watched the Sasuke marathon which lead up to the American Ninja Warrior. It was pretty cool, the ten American's taking on Mount Midoriyama. Sadly, no one was able to make it past stage three. I was routing for Levi, Brian, and Cain. I would have also liked William to have gone but I guess it couldn't have been helped, as it is a competition D:
Following the America Ninja Warrior episode was FINALLY Sasuke 23! I've been waiting for this for ages! Here, in America, people wait for the Super Bowel and Wrestlemania while I wait for Sasuke :3 though... I still watch both mentioned ^^;
Since my mom went out and I was invited to my dads for the day, I ended up NOT watching it ._.; though I did put it to record so that when I get home my mother and I can watch, holding our breaths! I'm currently and still am a supporter of Yamamoto Shingo! I hope he was able to do well this year! In truth, I'm looking forward to how all the all-stars did since the last couple of years have been hard on them. I can't wait for later tomorrow so that I may be able to see the results!
--
It was unexpected but my dad invited me over so that we could all go see Clash of the Titans in the morning. We ate banana splits and watched the second Transformer's movie. I'm not really a fan of Transformers buuut I guess the movie wasn't so bad. It's still long as hell, which was one of the reasons I didn't want to see it again ^^;.
Speaking of Clash of the Titans, I'm a little scared to see the remake considering how much I enjoyed the original. I already feel uneasy with how Perseus looks. Can someone tell me HOW people got buzz-cuts back in that day? Also, I'm tired of seeing movies about that era and the main character's having SHORT hair. :/ it's all just following that 300 crap tend D: ... I'm just going to see it because I'd heard both Liam Neeson AND Ralph Fiennes were in it! Gah!
--
My dad bought my grandmothers house and he intends to move in soon. I'm happy that he is able to have his own home buuuut I just strongly dislike that house. You see... it's very, very creepy to be alone in that house. I can't really explain the sort of uneasy feeling you get from being there with no one else. Let's just say that bad things have happened there and I doubt the one's who did it have left.
Ugh creepy D: but knowing me I'll end up staying in the Pink Room for a while come May so that I can get to the school quicker. Why do we call it the Pink Room? Duh, the walls are pink, the sheets and bed spread are pink, the bathroom is pink and it's full of girly dolls...o.o; expect to see it in my future vlog a few times 8D..--- no, wait, scratch that face! D: is better since that room is EXTREMELY scary...it's just that something ungodly happened in there and every time I look down that very narrow hall to that room I feel sick. Uhh....woo...go me -_-
---
K.H.R! Updated today so that was awesome! I can't wait until more Manga updates! Especially DOGS as I am feverishly waiting for it to continue!
Truth be told I don't watch much Anime anymore :/ since I'm impatient. I am now fully reading manga and watching Drama's more than watching anime O: which I don't mind. I think one of the only anime's I'm watching right now is the new season of Hetalia Axis Powers ;3 PASTA!
Well, I have to get up early for one tomorrow so for now, I guess that's it.
Until next time, にっこり笑ってください。
じゃね!

/Orz x100! - 二!
Friday, April 9, 2010 @ 9:10 PM
No! I'm so sad now D:! I currently have Wild Blue internet service, it's a good service but two things have made me a bit sad about this. One, it is incompatible with the Playstation 3 so no more playing Tekken online ;~; and NOW something WORSE is happening x_x As the world knows, I'm an avid player of Shin Megami Tensei: IMAGINE Online...on both the American and Japanese servers. This new internet supposedly has a 1/2 second delay which isn't much so I didn't mind at first...that was until today when while playing it literally took me an hour to get from the terminal to the V.B. ... that's like a one minute walk <_< I can still play if I'm patient, as I figured out earlier leading a new player from Suginami to Ueno...that took a while ^^; but it rubberbands so much it gave me a headache :/. While on the J-server, I was trying to train rapid on some Hua Po's as they're very useful for expertise training but had the problem of loading rapid then rubberbanding AWAY from the target so that it was out of range <_< so all I ended up doing was wasting chakra gum. I suppose I can only really play when I stay at my dad's house which seems like never now o.o; Oh well, I guess I'll just lurk the SB and talk to clannies when I'm able to get on. Advice to you guys out there, satellite internet like Wild Blue and HughesNet is NOT for gaming at all. Sad day indeed. Other then that the day was normal. I baked brownies from scratch and talked to an old friend I hadn't spoken to in almost a year :3 which was nice. Now, I guess I'll just install the German Rosetta Stone onto the main computer so my sister can use it as she wants to learn German. Then, I'll probably try to drown our the random people playing Rock Band in my house for no reason o.o they literally came over just now without me know ._. woo... <-- doesn't play Rock Band. For now, this night seems like it's going to be a loud one ^^ I suppose I'll have to learn how to play the game sometime or another so why not tonight? Until then, にっこり笑ってください。 じゃね!

Oh, Mandy - 一!
@ 2:21 PM
That song has been stuck in my head all damn day, Oh, Mandy from The Spinto Band :D. I fully blame my sister on that one since that is one of her songs. ^^ good song, very catchy. I guess I should do a bit of an introduction post since I really hadn't done anything before now. My name is Roy Jones but that isn't my real name. That's just the name I chose to go by on the interwebs for now. Most people already know my real name and that doesn't bother me at all. I just like having different names. Like, under the links section of this blog, the first link is to my MySpace, the second is to the ThisOtaku YouTube that ...is empty right now; and the third is to Dae Harvey's Paradise. Who is Dae Harvey? Me, naturally. That's just the name I'd decided to write under while I post random stories on that site ^^. The last is labeled Demi which is what some people on Aeria Games call me, that is linked to my Aeria profile. I made this blog to unwind a bit everyday, and just pretend to tell the world what was on my mind. Of course, the template I had wanted is lost to the decay of GeoCities and cannot be found (or remade since my sister refuses diligently.) so I've decided to use this rather simple one. At first, this was a last resort sort of thing but now that I see it rather complete, I think I like it. The saying on top read, "Please smile." literally but is intended to mean. " Please smile a happy smile." which I've decided to keep as my sort of motto. Why? Well, because I feel that a smile is a strong thing. Have you ever noticed that when you're looking at someone who's smiling or laughing, you also seem to smile or laugh with them? As they say, laughter is contagious and I believe this one hundred percent! I read somewhere that if you want people to be happy, you should smile, as they will also, in-turn, smile. Of course, I've also read, "Smile. It confuses people." Which is true but not the point! I think everyone should smile and laugh at least once a day, so as to release the heavy stress of the day. -- <-- Topic Changer :3 Someone asked me today what an 'Otaku' was so maybe I should explain a little about that now. おたく 「オタク」 literally means 'Geek' which is exactly what I am. It also means 'Obsessive fan' which is also what I am. I find myself to be 80% Otaku and 20% normal. Why? Well, here are the two reasons that drop me 20% off of the full 100% otaku; one, furries. I don't know WHY people love furries, half-neko/inu things. Just not my style, I guess. Two, I am not a fan of Gundams, Bleach, One Piece and a few other 'huge' anime titles. Now, Gundam I don't mind watching but I don't know know the models or names of the characters since the last Gundam show I watched was... Gundam Wing <_< ages ago. Those two have made me only 80% otaku and I don't mind as I am comfortable this way ;3. Now, Otaku is not really a good term in Japan as it is usually an insult. But here, in America, Otaku is not really a bad term. It just means the person is a fan of Japanese anime, manga, video games, music and culture. It's like the geek to nerd discussion, really. I don't mind being called a geek but would not want to be called a nerd for I am not really academically smart. Now, of course there are geeks who are also smart in that way, but I am not one of them ^^;. I may be able to kick your ass in Brawl but I would fail you if you payed me to do your homework. (Note: I suck a Brawl <_< but it's fun to jump on people's heads 8D) Once I get my camera fixed or just buy a new one, I'll start my YouTube Vlog under the same title as this blog: American Otaku. It will basically be me talking about every little thing that entertains me and giving updates from day one of my path to moving to Japan. More of this will be explained in the videos, naturally. -- Now, for the actual blog part of this post. Yesterday, I watched Kamekaze Girls and loved it. It wasn't what I expected and that made me happy. It was in actress/model/singer's Anna Tsuchiya's (Ichiko) wikipedia page that I read, "At 1.67m (5 ft 6 in) and 44 kg (97 lbs), she was considered to be overweight and short for a model in Japan." Ahem...what? Wow, that made me look at myself and think, "I must be obese, then." Of course, i laughed it off since it is just the standard for models. I'm currently 5'0 and 105 lbs. I could stand to loose a few more pounds but that statement made me glad that I'm considered average in my own country. (This isn't saying much since everyone here is either starving to death or dying from clogged arteries D:) The girl is beautiful, people are very shallow to have said the things they had to her in her modeling career but of course, that is in the past and has nothing to do with me. Just my thoughts on that sort of topic ^^ -- I suppose that's enough for now. Since it's only 3:48 P.M, I'll consider this YESTERDAY's post and do another post later tonight on how the rest of my day was. Until then, "にっこり笑ってください。" じゃね!

A New Day One
Thursday, April 8, 2010 @ 2:29 PM
Ah! Feels good to have a proper blog :3 of course this layout sucks major eggs :/ and my sisters awesome layout she'd made years ago was lost to the closing of GeoSites D;. I'm going to try to get her to re-make it though she doesn't want to ^^ I told her I would find the original picture though that may be a lot harder than I though. The Blog was an exact replica of Mima's Room from Perfect Blue compete with Ai no Tenshi in the background =D so, you can see why I really want it ^^ This blog is going to look like crap until then so I suppose I won't do much updating until I can find a a suitable template. I'm excited ~_~
