Heeeeeeeeeeeee're's Hahli!
Allo again.

I watched episode 77 of Naruto in English which they showed yesterday on Toonami, on YouTube. :P

Slowly but surely, they're making progress. I think there should be more marathons, though, to make it go faster.

Anyway, we went to church today and at 7:00 PM, we'll be watching a message from Joel Obsteen that we probably watched on Friday (by 'we' I mean my mom and me).

Yesterday, we went to KOHLS, Belk, Best Buy and Books A Million. At Best Buy, we saw the same guy we met the last time we were at Best Buy, and he talked to us about Kingdom Hearts and he gave me a couple of tips (thanks, dude!)

Anyway, I was beginning to fade of topics to share, but now I finally have one! I'm going to tell you how I started watching Naruto!

*music swells*

It was long ago, in late August/early Septemeber 2006 that it all began...

Kirby wouldn't shut up about Naruto, for the billionth time, and I was just about to get ticked off. All the time, it was "Naruto this," and "Naruto that." I even told her that I don't talk as much about Bionicle as she does Naruto!

Sheesh!

Finally, I was just about to burst. I decided that to make her finally shut up about it was to watch the show myself. So, since we didn't have Internet then, I watched at 8:00 PM in parents' room on CartoonNetwork(and thank goodness they weren't sleeping there!) I'll always remember the very first episode of Naruto I ever saw: Episode 2: My name is Konohamaru!

The story, suprisingly, was internesting, to say in the least. It was kind of funny too, the way Naruto got beaten up all the time, and Konohamaru didn't. (I hated Ebisu, though, and I still do!) When it was over, I thought to myself, "Hmmm...that wasn't so bad, after all!"

I told Kirby the next day that I had finally watched Naruto, and she seemed pleased. That night, I watched the third Naruto episode on CartoonNetwork. Why?

Things were getting interesting.

Now I think I should add this part here: Why do I like Kakashi so much that I've become a fangirl? First off: I've NEVER had a favorite male character in any series until then. It was always girl, girl, girl; female, female, female. What broke up my tradition here? You'd think I'd just fall for his cool voice and fall over like a screaming fan-girl, right?

Heh heh heh...WRONG!!!

Actually, the very first time I saw Kakashi, in the third episode, I thought: "Huh?! Who the heck are you?!" You see, up until then, I had no knowledge of any other characters besides Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke. One time, I had heard Kirby explain to me that "Naruto likes Sakura, who hates him and loves Sasuke, who hates both of them." A weird triangle there. That's all I knew about Naruto then.

Now, this is going to sound funny and stupid, but the first time I saw Kakashi and the other Jounin, when they were gathered around with the Thid Hokage, glancing at the crystal ball, I thought (and I didn't know anything about Naruto then) I thought they were a band of bounty hunters or robbers or something that were after Naruto. Stupid, right? Still, even then, there was just something that I just liked about Kakashi, even if I couldn't put my finger on it, and it certainly wasn't his looks.

That Saturday, I gained important knowledge: Kakashi was actually Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke's TEACHER!!! *gasp* O_O

I almost fainted with shock. And here I thought Kakashi was after Naruto, when it turns out that he's their teacher and is one of the major characters! I learned this in the episode of the Chunin preliminary for the third exam, when Kakashi warned Sasuke not to use his Sharingan eye.

Awesomeness.

Then I started borrowing mangas from Kirby, so that I could quickly catch up to the point of what I knew what was going on, and discovered more about the characters. I learned about Iruka and Naruto's relationship, a bit more about Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura, Kakashi and so on.

I finally found out what I liked about Kakashi the most: his emphasis on teamwork. See, that's how I grew to like Bionicle; the Three Virtues: Unity (working together), Duty (doing your job), and Destiny (what your purpose is), and I valued Unity the most of the three, so I was quite elated when I found out that this seemingly dark, silver-haired ninja teacher valued it as well, even as I found out that he had gotten this from his friend, Obito. Such a sad story, yet I love it so much! ^_^

Anyway, that's pretty much how I got to liking Naruto. So sue me if I love Kakashi; that's my own fault and I'm not ashamed.

So...there.



Whoo hoo! My first picture! Now I know how it works! Thanks Kirby! ^_^

Right now I'm listening to Soley-Soley, so bye!

Oldies ROCK!
