Sorry for not posting for a while...

But I was working Wednesday night, Thursday night, Friday night and Saturday night...and it was mobbed. Totally and utterly packed. And I was the only waitress working! I am still feeling the urge to drop to the ground and sleep now, after a lie in! And I don't even feel tired often! Aside from that interesting (not) update from my work life, I'm going shopping in Glasgow for my school clothes tomorrow with my auntie Tricia, who is an air hostess and is 27 and is the same size of clothes as me and just gave me a bunch of gorgeous dresses she hardly wears! Woohoo! Also, my 2 younger sisters are going to my dad's for a few days, leaving me and my big sister to look after our 2 little brothers. Together. That does not work! My big sister is hell! And to top it off, the very same big sister has told me to "f-ing get off the computer now" so I can't do my WYR's or anything!!!!! grr...I hate her so she's gonna pay for that! ^_- xx

   This post is just to get my WYR people to comment on yesterday's post...

Cause I updated very late yesterday so undoubtably most people were in their bed which means I can't post properly today unless I get your answers, so I'll post later after I've got them. For people who have no idea what I'm on about, here's a question or two for you... 1.) If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you go and who would you bring with you? 2.) Have you ever made a parody comic on a manga or anime series? (random!) my answers 1.) I'd live in Australia or South Africa or maybe Japan and I'd bring my closest friends (Megs, Adam, Mel etc...of course no-one will know who the are except for Adam maybe who has an otaku site! ^_^) and also I'd bring some of myotaku friends...try and guess who they are - I'm thinking of about 6 people! 2.) Yeah - I did one of Marik and Bakura from Yu-Gi-Oh after Yami Bakura escaped from the hospital...I look at it now and the layout is rubbish but it's still funny - I did it over a year ago lol! I'll post later but feel free to answer my questions even if my next post will be more directed at you than this one! ^_- xx

Thanks to those who participated in WYR!

But you all know that now is when the moral-testing fun begins! So who should I start with? Hmm...I'll start with the first person who commented - Yenni! Right, you chose to rip off the banks because you wouldn't want to get bored, so let's just say you DID rip off the banks. Would You Rather... Continue with your money-making schemes all over Europe and into America in a state of blissful hyperness because you feel unstoppable or... Stop your money-making schemes after you realise all the risks and go back to your family while it's not too late? Now to Millenium Ring! You wanna be an outlaw, huh? Well then, Would You Rather... Gather all known rebels under your command and do a worldwide anniliation of all banks or... Work silently on your own and take all the spoils for yourself? Deceiver now! You want an adventure and you want to leave your mark in history? Let's see how far you'd go... Would You Rather... Continue on your bank ripping-off saga, becoming an infamous star of the news world wide as the biggest scam artist of all time or... Stop after realising that everyone will hate you and will literally rip your head off for stealing all their money and have to go on the run for your whole life? Hmm Magnus you surprised me! A happy family over an evil-scamming plot! But the family might not be so happy, so... Would You Rather... Continue with your family even though things are rough and your husband is less-than-perfect and your son (lets just say you have one) is dabbling in drugs or... Take a once-in-a-life-time chance and go on a round-the-world cruise finishing in your favourite place in the world and land your dream job? Final one! Teshu, teshu teshu teshu...what can I say for you? I'm talking to you right now on msn and we're testing each other's knowledge on stuff...you said you and your "smart friends" (including me) would plan it and you'd do it in spain and swap accounts and currency so it couldn't be traced...it's the most accurate answer I got because generally that's how you rip-off banks properly (well, it's a simplified version) so... Would You Rather... Break apart from your "smart friends" who helped you get the money, do a runner and live the high-life on your own or... Share the spoils with your "smart friends" so you can all live in mutual comfort? Ok so I've done all the WYR's for today and it's taken ages cause I'm still talking to Adam (teshu) on msn! So now I'm going and will comment (quickly) on everyone's posts! ^_- xx

   This post is for one thing and one thing only...

Would You Rather!!!!! (aka WYR or "The Evil Questions") I t is finally back, to test your morals and take you on a journey of self discovery...i.e to find out whether you are an evil person or not haha! I went over the new system in yesterday's post, just in case you didn't have a chance to read my post yesterday, so go check that one out first! BTW, if you just-so-happen to miss a WYR but you want to know what it was so you can continue with it, then just look at the post previous to it cause then you'll know what it is...easy! However, as most of you should know by now, the question itself is NOT easy! And here it is (and to let you know this is a pretty big morality-based one)... Would You Rather... Do a "Catch Me if You Can" and rip off hundreds of banks worldwide out of millions of dollars(Don't ask why I am using dollars when I am Scottish) and live the high life, but the police are always after you and you constantly have to move around and think carefully or... Never ever do anything of the sort and end up in a dead-end job in the middle of no-where with 3 kids, a husband/wife and a mortgage? Hmm...to be honest ripping-off banks worldwide is very risky, not to mention very immoral and a stupid way to get rich quick, but...if anything immoral still has even just the slightist chance of success then I'm in! I've told you this before, basically I have no morals to live by and no religon to uphold so I don't care really! Remember to explain why you picked your answer so that the morality-testing can really start tomorrow! Well I'm off for the moment to go and work on my "Sea of Broken Dreams" comic...and btw FMP vol 9 was AMAZING!!!!! I can't believe that's the end of the manga series I oh-so-totally-loved! *cries* hahaha! ^_- xx

   My timing is soooo bad...

Because, you see, I posted the day before WYR was meant to return, and then I was banned from the computer. BANNED. For 2 fricking days! There's no point in that! You may be wondering why in the world I didn't post after my ban, because obviously something majorly terrible must have happened for me not to post for sooo long! Well, it wasn't bad as such...but me and my family went on holiday to this place called Nairn about 6 hours from where I live. I used to go there as a kid (meaning from the age of 4-7 - short age span!) so my mum wanted to go now, when I'm 15, for my little brothers...man it was a stressful holiday!!!!! I got back about 4 hours ago, and it was a dead hard trip back. You see, on the way there my mum, my sister Eva and I went on the train, and Cara (other sister), my wee brothers and my step-dad went in the car. I felt so sorry for Cara, and because of this I offered to go in the car on the way back - biiiig mistake! Of course, it had its upsides, cause when Cara and Eva got back they had to take the boys and I got to watch Naruto. This brings me to the list of downsides that my holiday had... 1.) I missed 7 episodes of Naruto! 2.) I missed and episode of FMA! (although I can watch it tomorrow at 8.00pm...Which reminds me...Adam (aka Teshu) you WERE WRONG!! FMA is shown at 8.00 on a Sunday ONLY! On Tuesday it is shown at 8.30! 1-0, you idiot! hehe...can't wait until you're online so I can say that to you!) 3.) Full Metal Panic, volume 9, the FINAL VOLUME, arrived WHILE I WAS AWAY!!! I had to wait a whole week to get it (as I knew it was being delivered), do you know how stressful that is to me?! Hehe... As you can see the down-sides to my holiday were all anime related, because the holiday itself wasn't that bad. After spending over 107 pounds on 6-months of contacts, I was finally able to totally ditch my glasses, and in perfect time too! The funny thing is, even though I am semi-emo, a group of neds tried to chat me up! (After they asked if the little 17-month old boy was my kid [my brother] Smart...) Another guy tried to chat me up too, and talked to me all week, but he smoked and got drunk nearly every night so I wasn't exactly impressed. There was one guy though...he was emo, and I really liked him, and we kept looking at each other, and he was in the caravan next to me (yeah, t'was a caravan holiday but I like them!), but...we never talked. Not ONCE. I feel really bad never even attempting to talk to him cause I really wanted to, it feels like I missed a big opportunity...oh well! C'est la vie! It can't be helped! Now on to the not-about-my-stupid-life stuff lol! While I was gone I got 10 comments on a post? Why? Wait I know the other 5 comments were made the day after the post I think so I just missed them...but no way is it fair for you, Magnus, to come back whilst I'm gone!!!!! *accusing finger* You don't do that to me!!!!! I missed you!!!!! Grr...your evil spiders are no match for me...hahahaha! And for the last part of my really rather-too-long post, I'm going to explain the new system for WYR! I'm going to start it tomorrow, so this is just for you all to prepare yourself...ok, so here goes! From tomorrow, WYR (aka "The Evil Questions") goes personal! The first question will be the same for everyone, but you'll have to explain why you picked your choice. Then, the next WYR will have a new question for each person who answered depending on what they said! And it'll continue like this, testing your morals more and more and more until this series of WYR ends and I stop to think of new questions for it! Hehe...can't wait until tomorrow! I hope you realise this means a lot of thinking and hard work on my part, so remember that while you answer my WYR's!!!!! Well I apologise for my way too long and properly spelt and grammatised post, so I will leave it at that and go and comment on everyone's posts!!!!! So glad to be back everyone!!!!! ^_- xx

   I can't believe it took one episode...

...to get me hooked on FMA! I mean, I knew that lots and lots of people (*understatement*) love it, but I didn't know it was capable of that much staying power after ONE EPISODE! I mean, it was like episode 30 so it's not as if I actually really knew what had happened before then, but through theotaku and the little common sense I have I knew enough to follow on...! So...that's me hooked on the old favourite Yu-Gi-Oh, FMP manga, Naruto and FMA. And Mezzo DSA is starting on Thursday, so I'll watch that and see if I like that too! BTW if you are wondering why I have never watched FMA if it is screened in the UK, it's because it was on this channel unknown to me (Rapture TV), and only recently did I find out about it, so that is why! I worked my fisrt afternoon shift at the Point indian (boring boring boring) and I just remembered that teshu is going to be away until Friday - do you know what that means to me?? (Probably not!) I t means I have no-one on msn that I can have a 2 and a half hour conversation to about nothing and everything at the same time! Also it means he's not here, on theotaku, for me to make fun of him...this may make me sound mean but it's a 2 way thing - we get our own fair share of getting made fun of from each other... Apart from that, nothing to post about (looong "nothing to post about, eh?!) so I'll finish up with... 1 DAY UNTIL "THE RETURN OF THE EVIL QUESTIONS!!!" MWHAHAHAHAHAHA! Also I want to know what everyone's favourite food and drink is for absolutely no reason at all!* *My favourite food being madagasgan (not sure of the spelling) or cornish vanilla ice-cream, and my favourite drink being fresh orange and lemonade! ^_- xx

   Ok so now, since evil big sister is out, I can do my proper post...

You know, it is only 12.35pm over here, so this is very early for a post from me! And before you read this one read my first post for today please! I have a feeling it is the more important one, this is just the random stuff one! Do you like my new bg? Anyone who visits regularly will know that it has been constantly changing for the past few days as I have been trying to find the "perfect" bg for the moment. I tried Kaname Chidori (from FMP) but after Setosgrl's comment I realised that for me, evil guys (ie Marik and Baku) are the only perfect bg's for me...so this one should last a while! I've got this poem I wrote a while ago, and normally I don't let people read them. However, since I know that everyone here takes poems and all that seriously. So...here it is... Darker Tale Sometimes there are things in life you simply cannot change, Things that you wish hadn't happened Stuff you'd rather exchange. Sometimes you don't realise how ungrateful you are, If it's in you past that means to some extent that You've come far. The answer isn't always written in plain black and white - Look between the lines and you will realise That behind each story's a much darker tale that simply isn't told Like the one hidden deep within your eyes. ...So, what do you think? I have many other poems and song lyrics that I don't show anybody, so this is really the first time, like I said before! Well, you already know that it's 2 days until "The Return of the Evil Questions!", but I do have an ordinary question for you... Have you ever had a near-death experience? Unfortunately for me, that is true. I have never been injured enough to cause concern, never caught a serious infection or anything like that. No, when I was seven I slipped and fell off a cliff - a very typical Scottish cliff with the water crashing over jagged rocks about 100m or more below me. The good thing is that I managed to grab on to the edge and get my feet to stand, tip-toed, on a very narrow ledge. The bad thing is that I was holding on to grass. I was absolutely TERRIFIED. If it wasn't for the fact that my big sister was close by (the only time I've ever had something to be grateful for from her - only joking!), I wouldn't be writing this today. So I guess this is a word of warning - stay away from cliffs!!!! Well, I'm still going on the computer tonight to comment on everyone's posts since they are obviously not up yet (time difference - GRRRRRRR!!!!), so I'll leave my post to finish now! ^_- xx

   My fanart is up...

Actually it was put up yesterday but I didn't get to post because SOMEONE (ie, my big sister) kicked my off before I had done ANYTHING! Grr, she annoys me soo much...good thing is I'm saving up for a laptop so then there won't be any fights! Plus, I can do all this from the safety of my own room! ^_^ But back on subject, I was ecstatic to see the reception my Yu-Gi-Oh fanart got, but my 2 original pieces went unnoticed - and I found out why - TONNES of original anime fanart is drawn and submitted so by the time mine got up and showed on the front page of the original anime hub there were 10 more to replace them! hehe...but I know all my good friends will go straight to my portfolio after reading this and, naturally, vote and comment! Well, I have to go, by finishing by saying 2 days til WYR!!!! ^_- xx

   Guess what I have done?

I have FINALLY submitted my fanart! *shouts with joy* Unfortunately you'll all have to wait another 48 hours, but that's nothing compared to how long it took to RESIZE them all! I had 7 pictures and first of all I resized their pixels to fit the pizel limit. then, after doing that, I realised that they had to be under 200kb! It was sooo annoying...but now it is done, and all I have to worry about is whether they've turned out right and whether you all like them! Naruto started over here on Friday, but I missed the first two episodes due to work, but I watched it today at it was fantastic! Well I only commented on setosgrl's post before my mum TURNED OFF the computer on me!!!!! *shock horror*, so I am going to go and comment now, since I have time! Even though it is 4 days until the new lot of "the Evil Questions" come back, I have to ask one of them now: Would You Rather... I went ahead and started "the Evil Questions" in 4 days or... I never, ever did them again and you were left to wonder what morals I would have tested? You'll probably all pick the 2nd option...*cowards* Well, since I asked that I'll leave my question for tomorrow! ^_- xx
