*sigh*...

Not much to say, I've been up all night as usual, writing, reading, creating my website. Which, by the way, My anime club site is officially up and running. Please check it out at: www.geocities.com/ansatsushawdi
Check it out, leave a comment, or sign the guestbook which you can find on the member pages. Remember, it may say Colorado, but thats just where its based. So, please, wherever you're from check out the site, leave some words. I guess I'd understand if you dont want to. Um, what else can I say...Oh, yeah, this Saturday Im having a scary movie night at my house. I most likely only have two friends coming, since my third friend didn't want to act sick and get work off. *sigh* anyway, so, yeah, me and my two friends(unless I get the guts to call old friends after a year and a half) will sit, watch a few scary movies, and munch on beef jerky. Speaking of which, does anyone have any good suggestions for scary movies? I could really use some. Well other than that, I have nothing to say. Later...

Yo...

Im back! And The Cherry blossom festival was awesome I might add. I got my first kimono! Eventhough I have nothing to tie it closed with, and bargain kimonos dont come with sashes, But yeah, They had a bargain bin of kimonos where everything in it was $40, I had $60 so I was like, "Cant pass that up." After rummaging through it I found a blue one, I cant quite explain the design, but it has random golden stamp outlines here and there. The design is like a continuous plant stamp. Its made out of a rough material and doesn't have the extremely drooping sleeves, but its still has small sleeves which makes it AWESOME! Now next year I intend to buy another one, only I want to get a silk one that comes with the sash to tie it. And that means a price of $120 which isn't bad considering I had $120 at the beginning of the month, but I went and spent a good chunk. Anyways back to the festival, The performances were great! I saw judo and kendo demonstrations, as well as taiko drummers and shamisen players. Plus on teh street there was a store called "The Pacific" Mercantile Co." And I'll tell you, that store is awesome. Its nothing but oriental food. Shelves of noodles, rice, japanese candy, miso soups, tofu, sushi, ect. They have very type of pocky ever made and had six pack of any flavor of Ramune! I was in heaven, however I was unable to buy anything because, I was on a shortage of money and the line was extremely long. So I want to go back there sometime and get cases of Ramune and every kind of pocky. And over the festival they had 250,000 chickens to cook. And thats as in chicken teriyaki. Sadly, I was unable to help eat any of them. Like I said, shortage of money after I bought stuff. Yum, thats making me hungry. Well, Thats about all I can say about the festival. It was definitely worth while!

Concerning my Red Rock Otaku club. I've noticed that I have friends out of state and I figured, "why not branch out a little." I mean, it'd be nice to have friends out of state so then you could possible have a place to stay if you go to an anime convention out of state. So I say,"if your not from Colorado, thats alright, come be in our club anyways!"

Thats about all the updates for the day. Catch you later...

Yeah...

You, know the one thing I should kick myself for is not updating very often here. I get lazy or distracted, but I've finally decided to let you all know what's going on. Well, first I have started a statewide anime club! Its called Red Rock Otakus! The concept of it is that it can help people find other otakus in their area. So then they'd make like little hang out groups within their towns. However, they'd still be a part of the larger, statewide anime club and would therefore be capable of speaking with anime fans of different groups of different towns. Sounds confusing? Yes I know. Recently I came to realize that there's something already similar to my club. It's called "anime meetup." Now, I dont know how I can compete or compare besides the fact that they are an all United states system to help otakus meet eachother. Mine is just for Colorado, and therefore I hope to have people create strong friendships and not just meet people like "anime meetup" does. Plus we get to have a logo for our club, which I can get printed on shirts, hoodies, cups, chopsticks, ect. I hopefully should have a homepage for the club up soon. It'll be there that I'll have an application that everyone can fill out to join the club. Why I'm going to have an application, I dont know. I guess it's just to know people better, but I wont turn anyone away, regardless of whats on the application. So I hope some of you join when I get it up and running!

Another great thing happening, is the Cherry blossom festival this weekend. Where else can you find Japanese cuisine, culture, and merchandise all in the same place in Colorado? Its only once a year for a two day weekend. I believe its free to go, but of course you'd want money with all the market thats going to be there. They're selling Kimonos, paintings, anime stuff, food(obviously) and much more. Entertainment includes Dances, Karate, Judo, Kendo, Taiko drummers, ect. So if you have nothing to do this weekend for father's day, go on down to the Cherry Blossom festival in Downtown Denver. Check the website out here: http://www.tsdbt.org/cherryblossom/

And lastly, for this year's anime convention, I was hoping to go with friends as the Miyazaki Heroines, but they pulled out. So now, I have to come up with a new costume idea. Well, actually I already have one. I plan to go as Jubei from Jubei-chan: the ninja girl. Im going to have to be running on all cylinders though, because this year,Im bringing about a handful of newbies. Feel free to join us if you like. The more friends you go with to the convention, the funner it is!

Well those are my updates for my absence. Catch you later...

ugh, school...

Its killing me, it really is. Im flunking school so, my parents decided to take away my computer and my video games. I've earned the computer back, obviously, but Im going insane without my video games. My mom said I can have those back when I write my three missing articles in jornalism class. The problem is, I really can't write them. I write creatively and fictional. Its hard to write the straight truth. Its not my kind of thing. And also how theres different types of stories like reviews, editorials, and in depths. I'm so confused on how to write them. If any one can lend a hand, it would be much appreciated. Help me get my games back! T.T
Oh, and one more thing...

   ...why me...

I'm particularly sad today everyone. First, I feel horrible because I'm sick. However, its mainly because of something that happened on fanfiction.net. Ok, so I updated my story, "What We Left Behind" for Naruto. And I said That I would update again when I got 50 reviews. Well today I get on and there are 5 more reviews. I read them, but one gets me in particular. In fact, I'll past what he/she said(It said anonymous, so I dont know whether it was a guy or girl)Anyways this was it:

you're asking to much for reviews. I don't get why authors ask for much reviews when their work isn't even that amazing or well written. You're outline is confusing, they're all out of character, Sasuke wouldn't leave an Uchiha child, Sakura as a mother wouldn't do that also! You twist so many things around that you yourself are becoming confused. You have 21 reviews for 2 chapters! That's more than some good stories have! Why the urge to bitch about chapters? Take what you have! You're lucky you even have reviews.
Lighten up.

Now, first, I know they're out of character. Its a freaking fanfiction, THEY DONT HAVE TO BE IN CHARACTER!!! Second, I care for reviews, because whats the point in writing if you dont know if people like it. Some people's self-esteem rides on whether a review is good or bad. The least this person could have done was give me creative criticism. Not bombard me with imperfections, because everyone has they're own opinion. I'm afraid if I update again, I'm going to tell the people that care, that I most likely will discontinue the story due to dispiriting reviews. Honestly, am I wrong to feel bad right now. I worked so hard on this story, just to have someone flat out tell me that it sucks and practically(though they didn't make it obvious) call me a bitch. I need some emotional support right now. Also If the person is going to have the balls to say such things to me, you'd think they'd have the balls to say who they were. However, they just put anonymous. As far as I'm concerned they're just a coward for that. They shouldn't make their inferiority complex my problem. Anyways, I'll stop, and just go bang my head against the wall and continue crying. Later...

I know...
Its been awhile, right? I'm sorry, I just got so carried away with school, but never the less I've returned. Believe it or not, you can call me a vice president now. Dont ask how it happened. It involved me in a drunken state, but without being drunk because I dont drink. Anyways, he was like "wanna be a co-president for the anime club." And I was like "you're on crack, dude." Ok,so I didn't actually say that. More truthfully is I doubted my ability to be a vice president. However, then I find that I'm not the only vice president. My friend, Shayla, has been given the title as well. So we decided to work together by pulling a good-cop-bad-cop. I'm the good cop, in other words the compassionate vice president that will hear you out. Shayla on the other hand is the bad cop who'll whoop your ass if you step out of line. We make a good team. In fact I think I'm going to request to be on a two-man team with her for lazer tag. FEAR OUR WRATH, FOR WE HAVE AUTHORITY!!! A nice way to come back, don't you think?

Lets see...

Man, School is really crackin' down on me. I had an English and a Biology test both in the same day. And I'm pretty sure I bombed them both. Oh, not all is lost in paradise, though. Two of my friends have stopped hating eachother. The balance is still set a flutter by a girl, though. If we can get a truce with her we can seal some major seperations of the anime club. Well, only now we have a section that wants nothing to do with us. Chances we can truce with them is unlikely. Have you ever had that feeling that you've been left out of something big? Like you're not good enough for something? Thats how I felt yesterday at school. You see, there's this girl who used to go to my school. She was an anime person too. Well she showed up yesterday to take measurements for a cosplay group. And well naturally, it pissed me off. I've always hated her, and now she's mingling with half of the anime club. They are all coordinated to go as a group. I feel...left in a way. I could never organize a group. Plus I feel a little threatened. This anime club is part of my territory at my school. She can't just walk in and not be disliked by a few. Anyways since she showed up, I've had a determination to best her. I dont care what it takes. Whether I have to create the biggest cosplay group in the world, I dont care. Actually I just found out something. I can get anime stuff at wholesale for my family business. So, I thought, using that, I could become a dealer at the convention. I'd earn money and get cool stuff at the same time. I dont know exactly how its considered besting her.I'll figure that out later. I just for once want her to feel like she's being left out of something great because I won't allow her. I for once want her to envy me the way I've always envied her. Just once...

   Grr...

Im so pissed right now. And mainly at my older sister. Ok, so we were on our way back home from eating chinese. And before we do we go to petsmart to look at this cat that my mom wants. We decided to put off getting the cat until tomorrow, so we started the rest of the way home. And while we're going a discussion, concerning "cats," brings up some bad blood with me and my sister. You see, I've had two cats before the one I have now. So I've had a total of three. My sister has had the same cat since she was one year old. So her cat is a year younger. Which makes her 19. Anyways Ive always hated my sister's cat. They always prefer her over any of mine. My first cat, Rose, had to be given away. My dad lived somewhere that didn't allow cats and so did we. So we had to get rid of them. Mine was the first. I was so sad after she was gone. I was assured that my sister's would have to go too. It made me feel better. However, they never got rid of her. They kept the cat and it angered me ever since. Why did my cat have to go and my sister's get to stay? I asked once and they said that My sister's cat had been there longer. She was more precious to them, more like family. That answer made it worse. They still dont understand why it makes me so mad. DID THEY EVER THINK THAT ITS NOT FAIR, BECAUSE MY CAT WASN'T GIVEN A CHANCE TO BECOME PRECIOUS TO US, TO BECOME LIKE FAMILY. NOTHING EVER STOPPED MY SISTER FROM KEEPING HER FIRST CAT, WHY THE HELL WEREN'T THEY LETTING ME!!! I'VE HAD THREE CATS!.AND EVEN TODAY THEY TAKE MY SISTER'S CAT'S SIDE. IM THE ONLY DEFENSE MY CAT, MAGIC, HAS. AND I'LL BE DAMNED IF I LET THEM TAKE HER AWAY TOO. MY SISTER'S CAT CAN JUST GO TO HELL!!!................................
..................sorry, I just feel really strongly about it. Why is everything unfair to me and me exclusively. Does my family hate me? I dont know, but I think I need a nap. I need to calm down. see ya

Heya everyobody...

Just wanted to pop in and tell you all that I'm still alive. This most likely will be one of my shortest posts, but that's alright. Anyways, so the other day I hit my head on a brick wall. It gave me a little scratch, so I have to wear a band-aid on my forehead, But that's not the point. The point is that I've realized that ever since I hit my head, I've changed. I'm actually more assertive. I grabbed the collar of my friend the other day and threw him against the wall. I've never been capable of that, not even when I was the most angry. Also since I hit my head, I've started writing again, seriously. I've been working on a Naruto fanfiction. Its posted at Fanfiction.net so go there and check it out. Its called Vacation!Its about time. My pen name is Iya Kari. So, yeah, please go and read it. I'd especially like it if you review it too. And tell your friends. Oh, I better go. Can't keep ranting on forever...or can you?

*sigh*

Wouldn't you know it, Im bored. I did hwever start writing a Naruto fanfiction. It most likely wont see the light of day after I finish it though. Oh, and also Ive started a fun craft on my own time that I call the "bone project." I bet you'll never guess why. Ok, I'll tell ya. I decided to create a skeleton out of paper mache. I figured I could use it for one of my movies. Mainly because I plan to do a zombie movie. And what better than to be attacked and eaten by a skeleton zombie. I have the humorus and the radius and ulna done. FOr those non Biology kids, that practically means your arm, bothe parts. I haven't even thought of how long its goinf to take me to paper mache the hand, bone-for-bone. I mean this is going to be accurate. I will it so. Anyways, that was just a short update of what Ive been doing lately. Oh, and last Friday, supposedly, a rival school stole our school's mascot. And when I say mascot I mean a stuffed mountain lion made by a taxidermist. I mean, hoe low can they go? I dont care we should stop at nothing to get it back. ITS OUR MASCOT AFTER ALL!!! Ok, talk to you all later...
