Weekend is over... I'm sad... and tired...
When you read this post, just imagine that it's being told by someone talking very monotonous and slow. I'm tired, in a non-sleepy tired way...

As I sip away at my coffee I realise that I need to go to the bathroom...

That was random...

Well Easter weekend is just about over. I have to go to school tomorrow. Oh well, it won't be too bad. I can't wait to show my newest video! It turned out pretty good. I don't think it's my best, but I'm pretty happy with it.

I thought of another article (and another, and another, blah) idea that I would've already written by now but I need to go back to school and take out the manga just to make sure everything is how I think it is. It's going to be on Naruto, and I'm positive it's not going to be very well liked, just because I'm kind of bashing one thing about the characters in it. I don't hate Naruto, not at all! I like it! It's just there's this one thing that's been annoying me about it, and I want to see if anyone else thinks the same thing, or if it's just me. lol. Whatever.

Not much else happening to me. My anime club idea hasn't started yet. Last week I decided to wait until after the Easter long weekend, and now that I've thought about it more, I don't know if I'm going to go through with it. First is the fact that I might not get enough people to come. That's a biggie. But another thing is that I don't know if it'd be fun after a while. Because all that will be happening at them is people come and talk about anime they like, anything interesting, anyone's drawings, etc. Just anything related to anime. But I think that after a few weeks everyone would've shared everything, and then what? Maybe I'm just being paranoid or something.

Well, I'll see and maybe find out a bit more about what I'd have to do to get the idea around, then decide.

Yay! Easter Weekend!
I like holidays. They give me so much time to do things that I normally don't have time for. True, like most people I do sleep in, but only until about 7:30 or maybe 8:00. I'd rather be up and doing stuff!

Oh, my new article is up. You can check it out here. It's one of those "Top Ten" articles. Mine's on Love Hina. This is actually my first true "Humour" article. Even though my lechers article was quite a bit on the humour side (at least I thought so), I still put it under the "Analysis" category. I've now written an article under every category except for "Report" which I don't believe I ever will. lol. So I feel like I've acheived yet another goal! Yay! Although no one else cares, lol. Heck, I don't think I even care that much! lol.

I changed my articles banner. I just felt I needed a change. My old one was one of the first images I'd ever created with Photoshop, so I wanted a newer, better (in my opinion) one. I know, it's typical and an over-used style for me. But really, that's all I can do! lol. I'm not that great with Photoshop, I just play around with things until I find something I like. Whatever...

Backlash Wave came over today because we had a Physics project to do. It's just a small info project on Nuclear Energy, but we kind of went overboard and got a lot more infor then we needed (probably). That and we made a video.

Almost any project in school I get I make a video. Ever since I bought my video camera a few years ago, I've used it for school projects. I've kind of become slightly well-known for them, lol. Random people in school will be walking by me a suddenly say, "Hey! I saw your video in (whatever class it was)!" My teachers seem to really like my videos and show them to the next year's classes. It's kind of funny.

Anyways, the one I made today was quite funny. For no reason there is a fight scene between Backlash Wave and I at the end. Our excuse is that I'm a protester and he's the director of some Nuclear power plant or something. It's pretty funny. We start off by fighting with katanas (they're wooden of course, we don't want to hurt our real swords! or ourselves for that matter! lol), then we go into this awsomely coreographed (I'm positive I spelled that wrong, lol) hand-to-hand fight scene. It's so funny. Then we both die at the end. So I'm going to make it all slow motion, and add in sad music to make it really dramatic, even though it will be corny. lol.

I love video editing.

I've decided to give it a try...
Well I've just finished another article. Once again, typically me, I just decided on it earlier today, sat down and wrote it. But it wasn't hard, since this one was quite small. What is it? My try at the "Top Ten Signs" articles. Mine is on Love Hina, lol. I decided a specific anime would be best, since all the general ideas have basically been taken.

On a random note, I'm only a few votes away from passing Purifying Goddess in Most Popular Writers. Soon I'll be seventh! Yay! lol.

I'm so happy!! I can finally do front flips, and I can almost do backflips! Just to let you know, I'm a bit fan of gymnastics and breakdancing (just trying it myself, I don't know anything formal about either), so I practice a lot of stuff. And I've been working on it for a few years, by practicing on my trampoline, and now I can finally do front flips on the ground! Now I can just be running along and then do a front flip! lol. And I can almost do backflips on the ground. Soon I just may be able too! But I tell you, landing on your butt over and over again on hard ground HURTS! lol.

That was a let down...
Well I started reading the Eighteenth volume of Rave Master today (see yesterday's post to see what I'm talking about for the majority of this post).

And I am dissapointed. I'm not going to say anything or ruin anything, but just let me say that I'm quite dissapointed with what happened. Something so much cooler could've happened. But I suppose it's not too bad. I just need to keep reading and see what happens! It's still my favorite anime by far!

I've got to get back to writing more articles. I REALLY want to write this one that I thought of a few days ago. As I said then, and I'm still thinking, I believe this article just may be one of my best. I REALLY like the idea, and I think it makes sense, as well as being interesting. I just need to really think about all of the possibilities and every angle for it. I probably won't get started on it for a while though. Maybe this weekend since it's the Easter long weekend.

Whatever...

N...no... no... it can't be!! NOOO!!!!
I'm in complete shock. It can't be so... I just finished reading Rave Master volume 16 and 17, and... I'm going to cry... I'm very emotional sometimes... Haru... he... AAAAHHHHH!!!!! I can't say anything more, but just look at my avatar, that might be the last time we ever see him...

I know he's going to come back, he CAN'T have died, since he IS the main character! But still, I'm worried that even if he does come back, it might not be for a while, or something else like that. You know how that happens in some games and other things? Well I think that just might happen to Haru... NOOO!!!

I made another animated avatar, but I think the still one is better, even though it doesn't explain anything. Oh well, read it you'll see. YOU MUST! RAVE MASTER IS THE BEST ANIME EVER!!!

I have to go and get the next volume tomorrow!!

Finally! Finally! I figured it out! Yay!!!
First off is my new article. You can check it out here. It's another one of my articles where I try to look at an idea that most people usually don't think about.

The only thing that I don't overly like was the way that came out to be dramatic at the end. A little TOO dramatic, lol. Oh well. Read it and tell me what you think.

I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT! I can now make animated gif avatars! YAY!!! So I just finished making one of Haru. As you can see, he, well, doesn't look like he's doing to well. It happened at the end of the 15th volume. I HAVE TO GET THE 16th!! The 15th ended with Haru seemingly dieing. GAH! And Elie...! Ahh, just read it yourself and you'll see.

Rave Master just keeps getting better and better. So many things keep happening, and I just want to read more and more! It's so good! And Seria is really cool! She's a new character that came in in the 13th volume. Looks like Elie has got some competition for Haru! lol. It's great. Can't wait to read more!

I got yet another idea for an article while reading Rave Master volume 14 (at least I think it was in the 14th, lol). It's not going to be on only Rave Master, but I think I will use quotes from it, and several other animes and games, just like in my Lechers article. I won't say what my idea is, but if it works, it'll be one of my best articles (at least in my opinion). I think so at least. lol. Guess I'll just have to write and see. Haha! A play on words! I said "write and see" instead of "wait and see"! I'm hilarious!

Fine, it wasn't funny.

Meanies...

No sleep = no think
Gah. I'm still tired from Thursday night.

Ok all of you sick-minded people, stop laughing. That sentance came out just a bit wrong, that's all. Or maybe I'm the only one that noticed that. I started laughing right after I wrote it. lol. Maybe I'M the one that's sick-minded. Whatever... lol.

Anyways, what I was saying. I got hardly any sleep Thursday night because I woke up and couldn't fall back asleep. I HATE it when that happens. I also hated the fact that I had a Biology test on Friday, so I couldn't really think too well after only two hours of sleep. Oh well, I think I still did OK. But the annoying thing is that I'm still really tired. Bleah. I can't really concentrate on anything.

I changed my avatar again. Now it's Haru from Rave Master. I just felt I needed a change. lol.

Well my idea to found an Anime Club at my school is still in the developing stages. I'm currently just scouting around for interest. If I get enough feedback by word of mouth, then I'll probably try to get an announcment for it, as well as put up some flyers. Here's what I'm thinking for the flyer design:



Yes, yes, I know it's quite typical of me. Orange, black, and glowing letters. But that aside, what do you think?

Well I suppose I'll go do some homework. I want to get my Physics out of the way before tomorrow, or at least most of it. That way I don't have to have it hanging over my head all day tomorrow. I hate that feeling. lol.

Oh, something I just noticed. I don't overly care, but I just thought I'd mention it. My site just hopped over the 600 visits mark a little while ago. And it also ducked to just below #2000 for popularity ranking.

Whatever... I care more about my articles. lol.

Maybe I shouldn't be... lol...
Haven't posted in a while. Since Tuesday!! But I have a very good reason. And that is this: I've been waiting. For what you ask? What, you don't ask? Oh, come on! Please! I've been waiting to tell my story for a while! lol.

Anyways, my reason is that I wrote another article. I wrote it Tuesday, right after my last post. And since then I've been waiting for my article to come up, and THEN I would post again. lol. But it seems it still hasn't come up. I'm starting to get slightly worried...

Whatever.

Anyways, here's my little (actually I don't think it is that little) story (actually it's not much of a story) on why I wrote the article, right after saying that I wasn't really in the mood for writing. It's because I got myself in the mood for writing.

Wait! Just here me out, it's kind of funny. The thing is, I was looking around theotaku, and more spefically, at other writer's blogs. Well, one thing I've noticed about myself (quite a while ago I suppose) is that I have a very annoying tendancy (I think I'm the only one that kows about it though, lol) to be VERY competitive. I don't think anyone else really knows because I try to make my competitiveness seem just like easy, laid-back coincidence that I'm just as good (or better, lol) at something as someone else. Pathetic? I suppose, lol.

Anyways, when I saw other writer's sites, I saw them talking about things like how they have this new article idea, and how they're so happy that they've written so much, or are so popular, etc., and I (very irrationally and childishly, I suppose) thought to myself, "So they think they're so great by writing, eh? Well I'll show them!"

I suppose most of you are by now shaking your heads at me. Don't worry, I get that a lot, lol. I bet I just went down a few pegs in all of your opinions (that is if I ever had a high reputation)! Anyways, seeing other people being happy about being able to write, and doing well, or having a high rating, etc., made me want to write, just to show them that (I suppose this is the real, real, and very sad truth) I could too, and that I was better.

lol. I'm positive no one actually cares! lol. Ha! Here I am, just laughing at myself and my own stupidity! lol. But I suppose it's good I know I'm like this! lol. Now I won't seem horribly arrogant (at least I hope not, I HATE seeming arrogant, unless I'm being sarcastic).

I mean, why would I be like this? I KNOW that no one actually cares if I write more than them. I KNOW that no one cares if I have a higher rating then them. But the sad truth is that I'm so competitive, that I do, to a certain degree. lol. Remember, CERTAIN DEGREE. I'm not crazy about it, I just want to be aknowledged as better. lol.

I'm very pathetic, aren't I?

lol.

P.S. I laughed too much this post. Sorry if I annoyed anyone. I annoy a lot of people with my excessive laughing. Just ask Backlash Wave. He'll tell you some funny stories.

Oh! Final note. I just noticed something. Today is exactly one year after I joined theotaku! Pretty neat. Although, I actually didn't start doing things here until October 31, 2005. That was the first day I posted something on my blog. It's been a while I suppose.

Anyways, I'll now leave you all to comment on how pathetic my childish competitiveness is. lol. Don't hold back! I can take it!

That would be pretty cool...
I've just recently thought of starting up an anime club at my school. If I got enough people to come, then it would be pretty cool. But that's the problem. I've seen quite a few people reading manga, and it's constantly being taken out of our library, but getting these people to actually come will be quite difficult. At least I'm assuming so.

But I suppose I should at least try. I'll think about it a bit more, and talk it over with Backlash Wave. See if he would help me with it.

Anyone have any suggestions or helpful advice for a would-be creator of an anime club? I've never really been in a club like this, so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have quite a few ideas for articles, but I just can't seem to write. I'm just not in the right mood for writing right now. I don't think I have much homework tonight, so I might get around to trying to write. lol.

Oh, by the way bellpickle, I probably won't ever get around to writing that Engrish article. You keep it. lol. It's a pretty good idea, so don't let it go to waste!

I may get around to starting another quiz, but I probably won't, as I still don't know what I would do. I'm leaning mainly towards Tales of Symphonia, and a quiz on which main character you are. And once again, it'll be in my yes/no personality questions instead of the more obvious ones. I really can't stand them (My apologies to anyone offended by that statement!).

Oh well, I think I'll go do my homework, so maybe I'll have time to get in the mood for writing, lol.

...
I've once again changed my avatar to Elie. I know I had my whole rant on me wanting my site to be all original, but, well... I'm not consistent. I'm very whimsical. lol.

Elie is the best and Rave Master is the best by the way.

... gah. I feel sick and tired. I probably sound really odd right now (writing, what I'm writing! not hpw I actually sound you silly people), and that's my reason. I feel really tiredness. Blargh.

Hmm... I wonder what tweinbm... towfmv...
