  Time of Post: 1:16pm
Listening To: "Welcome to the Jungle", by Guns N' Roses.

Hey everybody. *sigh*, still feelin' a little down, but still feelin' a bit better regardless.


Awwwwwwwwwww. Stuff like that just gets me in a good mode! Isn't that cute!? Again, propz to Lindsey (ElvesAteMyRamen) for making another beautiful Chrno Crusade gif!

Since I still don't have the pics from the convention, how about today I just tell you what I bought there? I made a big personal triumph at the convention. I...actually...bought a manga! >:D Ha ha! These are my first ones! I bought Love Hina vol. 6 (for the artwork, since I've already read it) and Chrno Crusade vol. 4! I won't read my Chrno Crusade until I've read volumes 2 and 3, but I can't wait to do so, cause' then I can reference all those awesome action poses and kicken' guns!
The cool thing about the mangas is Chrno Crusade only cost me $5 (as opposed to the $7-$10 that the bookstores ask for), and Love Hina only cost me $3! It should have cost $5 like Chrno Crusade, but the guy selling it was really cool about it and gave me a discount! It was still in the wrapper (that means I got it in mint condition), too! The guy selling it had a sense of humor, too. I gave him a $10 bill and he pulled out a pink 'Hello Kitty' calculator and punched in "$10.....minus.....$3.....equals.....$7!". XD The world needs more manga-merchants like that!

Before I go, here's the question of the day:
If you had all the equipment, time, anime DVD's and skills that you needed, what kind of AMV's would you make?

I personally think that the AMV world is populated by too many angsty AMV's using over-used depressing or angry artists like Evanescence or Linkin Park (not that I don't like those bands, they're just overused). Instead, here's what I'd make:

*If at all possible, I'd make my own anime (Ghost Hunter) into an AMV (man, I need to get a serious grip), making a montage of fear and terror using the song "Enter Sandman" (Metallica)
*I'd also make an AMV specifically about my character Andrea's past using the song "One" (Metallica). Just listen to this quick segment from "One" and you'll see what I mean:

"Darkness,
Imprisoning me,
All that I see,
Absolute Horror.
I can not live,
I can not die,
Trapped in myself,
Body my holding cell.

Landmines,
Have taken my sight,
Taken my speech,
Taken my hearing,
Taken my arms,
Taken my legs,
Taken my soul,
Left me with a life in Hell."
*An AMV about the Wolf's Rain series using "Of Wolf and Man" (Metallica)
*A serious AMV about the Elric brothers using "Flight of Icarus" (Iron Maiden)
*A more light-hearted AMV using fight scenes from Fullmetal Alchemist with the song "Metal-Millita" (Metallica)
*A Gundam Wing AMV using the song "Civil War" (Guns N' Roses)

There may be some others, but I'll think them up later.
See you all tomorrow!
