Uggghhhhhhhh
*drops down dead* Yeah, okay, I'm not that much into blogs. SORRY! I don't have much of an interesting life as it is, but that's my own opinion, so bug off!
Random Person: "Wha...?"
Alright, alright, maybe I do. Me and my two best friends, Lorenza and Meghan, are dressing up as waitresses for Halloween.
Huh?
Wait, I forgot some words...we're dressing up as waitresses from Azumanga Daioh (if you haven't noticed, I'm a freak about that show). It's from the third volume of the manga, when the second culture fest takes place, and the girls run a "stuffed animal cafe". Anime wise, it's episode 16. (I'm definetly taking pictures of us and will hopefully post them up here after Halloween).
School-wise, my grades have been in the sink. Uh, wait, no...that'd just be my science grade. -__- I swear, I'm gonna fail that class and break my eight-quarter-in-a-row record of being on the gold honor roll. It seems that, even when I try my hardest, it isn't enough. Luckily, I got a B+ on the last test, and a 63/64 on our latest big project. Hopefully, my grades will average out to at least a B. My big lifesaver, though, is the fact that I'm getting an A+ in pre-algebra. ^^ Go extra credit! I'm pretty much doing well for myself in every class.
The funny thing came yesterday: It was the Friday before Halloween, so of course the school lets us wear our costumes. The ultimate question of "What are you supposed to be?" and "What's with the hat?" haunted me and my buddies the entire day. And, confusing people by making them say "Azumanga Daioh" was a treat. ^^ In Lit class, we were doing a word search to kill the rest of the twenty minutes in class. Well, we had one of those student-teacher observers in our classroom and my teacher, Ms. McCoy, sat down with him and began chatting. That's when I heard it:
"-Ginger, Lorenza, and Meghan are dressed up as characters from an anime series-" (Yes! She said it right!)
At which point, I turned my upper body around (she was barely five feet away from me) and said:
"Huh? What? What about me?"
Student Teacher Observer Dude: "What anime are you from?"
Me and Lorenza: "Azumanga Daioh!"
STOD: "...oh."

   theOtaku.com Revised - Not such a good idea
I dunno about you guys, but here's the one word I can use to summarize the new version of theOtaku.com: Stale.
Okay, it's great that they have tons of anime descriptions, but I honestly don't care about those! I enjoyed going through various sections and finding things, such as screencaps and artscans.
What's the big deal with this launch if all it does is make like an anime encyclopedia rather than theOtaku.com I used to know and love. I remember coming here when the splash page was "rejected product number 271: Pikachu flashlight". Grant it, I was eight at that time, so I thought it was hilarious. Anyways...
I'm not sure just how this launch is going to better this place. That, and I hate the layout. Way too grey, and TOO MANY FRICKIN' ADS! For the love of God, if you're on a paid domain, then it shouldn't have this many ads! Kuso!
That's all from me. Later...

ToS 'n school
O_O I wonder if they got the whole "you must be thirteen or older" part after Adam came to my site. *sweatdrop* Okay, I highly doubt it, but still...Boy am I glad I turned thirteen before the ToS came out.
Well, my Azu quiz is doing pretty bad. -___- 78%, last time I checked. Maybe I shouldn't have made them so specific or sommin'...boy, I can feel my Guru respect dropping.
I start school tomorrow. -.-; I'll be glad to see my friends everyday, but I don't want to wake up early or have to deal with running the mile in gym, or living through science class with a teacher I can't stand. His name's Mr. Zippe, and he was one of the seventh grade science teachers. WELL, he transferred to eighth grade (probably to make the lives of kids who hade him a living hell). I don't get why teachers do that! Why do they want to see the same kids two years in a row? *sighs*
Eh, they should outlaw that. 'You can't transfer grades!' Oh yeah, like THAT'S ever gonna happen...
Not much to chat about, really. Summer's over, so I'm spending the last day of it hiding in my basement, glued to the computer monitor. *sweatdrop*
Ah well...Hope you school year doesn't suck...

S'more ramblings ^^
Ah yes, July 31, 2003. I remember the day clearly. In fact, I remember the summer clearly, because that's when I was cheesed off about how long theOtaku.com was taking to make the new thingie that turned out to be myOtaku (whew, long sentence). For God's sake, I was even thinking about it in the car whenever I went grocery shopping or something. -.-;
Well, anyways, tomorrow's my birthday! YIPPEE! ^^ I'll finally be turning 13, at least four months after my youngest friend, Meghan. -___- I've always, always, always been the youngest in my classes becase of my late birthday, and people always wonder why. Well, I was ready to go to school back in preschool when I was four. And I can easily say I was the youngest. It's actually kinda odd, because I would be this six-year-old in a class with kids already seven. I never skipped a grade (who wants to do that and say buh-bye to your friends?), but I always excelled in every grade I was in.
See, I would scan my Stanford scores from fifth grade, but those are sommin like "highly confidental" because they list my name and crap.
Sad factoid of life, though, is that two of my friends went to pre-first, and you'd've never guessed it. One is Lorenza (who you've heard so much about here...) and the other is my buddy Liz (from numerous other posts). Lorenza turns 14 August 13th (hehe...Friday the 13th) and Liz turned 14 a few months ago. If they hadn't, my only friend would be Diane, because I met Meghan more through Liz than anyone else.
Going back to a year ago...
I remember when Adam launched myOtaku. I had been haunting the site for two months, waiting for it to happen, and when it did, I whisked to the sign-up to get my name. Katana's my trademark online, ya know. ^_~
More Azumanga Daioh quiz! I have completed Tomo, Sakaki, Yomi, Osaka, and Kagura, so I only have to do Yukari and Nyamo! ^^ Every file except for Chioy-chan's is in Photoshop format so I can go back and edit something if I need to. I'm hoping to have sent the quiz and the results to Guru by tomorrow night, at the very latest. Keep watching Guru for the quiz! ^_~

Progress report! ^^
I finished the actual Azumanga Daioh quiz last night. All I need to do now is create eight images. -.-; I have one done as of now, and it's Chiyo-chan's. The other possible results for the quiz are Tomo, Yomi, Sakaki, Kagura, Osaka, Yukari, and Nyamo. Sheesh, it's hard to find the right words for a quiz result. You can't describe the character exactly, you can only put down stuff from answers on the quiz and explain them a tad and I mean a tad.
Oh well, here's the link if you wanna see the image.

Wha'cha think? ^^
Also, I rumaged around my Backroom and found out that my site is 176th in popularity out of 10,104 active sites. Go me! :D
(The rating keeps changing. Yesterday I was 175, and last week I was 178, so...)
