Kimi Ni Ai Ni Ikou (I Shall Go See You) - Maaya Sakamoto

Hello fellow otakans. How has your weekend been so far? It's been so hot where I am! Incredible, really. It should never be this hot for this long in Washington (as I've stated time and time again). Ah well, it'll just be worse when we go to Mexico. x.x Anyway, I actually have a bit of news for y'all today. First off, I went to the mall yesterday, and... I got the newest Tsubasa volume! Yes! Just in time, too. Any later, and I'd have had to wait until we got back from vacation. I also got Best - Maaya Sakamoto. Tis a pretty good CD. I mainly purchased it because it has Kiseki No Umi on it, and I love that song. Well, that was pretty much the best part about going to the mall yesterday. Everything else kind of sucked. It was hot, I was wearing a long-sleeved shirt, and I had to try on bathing suits. Fuuuuun. At least I got all that stuff over with. I joined a new club a few days ago (and just now remembered to mention it). Fake Wings, the .hack//SIGN obsessed club; founded by darkangel501. I put up the banner on my Anime Monkey site. *points to intro* I submitted a Kazuma wallpaper today too. Heh, just doin' my job. Although, I'm slightly disappointed with how the wallpaper came out. I didn't find the background I wanted, so... my original idea was never used, but it's still a good wallpaper. ^_^ I guess. Sayonara! ~God Bless~

Let's Fighting Love!

I've been listening to "Reckless Fire" over and over today. It's just so darn catchy! Man, I really want that soundtrack. >.< Strange thing is, I found the song on my Windows Media Player. That's the last place I would've thought of finding it. Wow, anime's gaining in popularity. Well, the Halo party today was okay, I guess. Not many people showed up, though. There were six people at one time, that was the best it ever got. It was still fun, but it would've been better if more people had come. I mean, we had four TVs, we were plenty prepared. *sighs* Ah well... Still, even though I died the most, it was plenty fun. My brother Eric bought the Halo 2 multiplayer expansion pack, so now we have more maps. v^.^ Twas awesome! Nothing else really happened today. Tis mainly the Halo party, really. I did change my avatar to one of Kratos. (Whoever drew that picture of him is a great artist!) He's just such a cool dude, I couldn't stop myself. Sorry Sherrice! At least you get to stay as my welcome sign for a bit longer. Also, I submitted a Kratos wallpaper... yesterday? Can't remember, but it's my most recent one. Maybe I'll make a Kazuma one before I leave for Mexico... I hope everyone is well today. Ta! ~God Bless~

Today, I'm feeling a little better. Not so sad, anyway. ^_^ I think just playing as Kratos in Tales of Symphonia has lifted my spirits. Heheh, he's just so cool! Granted, I'm not very good as him yet, at least not boss-worthy, but... I'm satisfied with just playing as him in regular battles. ... anywho... I checked people's sites today, just like I said I would! Aren't ya proud of me? 'Cause I am! Heheh. Well, definitely don't have much to say today, even less than yesterday! BUT! I did catch a character! *points to intro* ^^ Heh, Kuro-tan is mine now! Oh, and Thursday, Kyle and I are going to yet another Halo party. They keep calling it a gaming party, but... we all know it's mainly gonna be Halo. I can't wait! Those are so fun. Watch out, here comes Baron von Monkey! Now, I hope you're all well. Ta! ~God Bless~ EDIT: Reading this post over, I sound really hyper. o.o Strange...

Hi there! *sparkle, sparkle*

Well, I'm back again! Eheh, I bet some of you are getting sick of me coming and going so randomly. Well, I do try to visit sites when I'm on, but today is a different story. Sad to say, I've been much too busy with other stuff to check many sites. And soon after this post, I'll have to log out. Oh well, I'll try to make up for it tomorrow. Anyway, one of the reasons I was busy today was 'cause I was making a freewebs site for all my clubs. I made a special li'l banner for it, tis up in my intro. Just clicky clicky! I really wanted to do this, especially over the past week. My intro was just too much before. It's a little better now, still needs some improvement. Also, made a Tsubasa wallpaper today. Eh, tisn't my best work, but tisn't my worst either. Two more greetings as well, both of Scryed. In other news, I've been rather sad the past couple of days, and over the most vain reasons, really. I'm just... disappointed in myself, I thought I was better than to be so upset over something so stupid. I don't know if I even want to go into detail about it, it's really not worth mentioning. But, as a direct result of one of those things, I'll be laying off the wallpaper making for awhile. I just need a break from it. Maybe I'll make one more before I go on vacation, but otherwise I'm gonna relax. I have other things to worry about, anyway. Like, packing for Puerto Vallarta. *sighs* That is all for now. Ta. ~God Bless~

Dentist... woohoo...

My siblings and I paid a visit to the tooth fairy today. And... well, it wasn't fun. I don't think going to the dentist is ever fun, even if you do have perfectly clean teeth. But, it wasn't horrible because I have superly clean teeth. Every time I go, the dentists always say, "Wow! Your teeth are so clean; that's so rare for a teenager!" Heheh, well... not to brag, but I do brush and floss every night. See? It works! If you just take five minutes out of your night to clean your teeth, you don't have to worry about cavities or nothin'. But, anyway... enough about that! I don't think this post will be very long, since not much happened today. I still have a couple of things to say, though. Two more people have joined the Commenters' Fan Club: ShadowFaintZero and tensaisama. Thanks for joining! I'll send you your banners as soon as possible. Also, I submitted two Scryed pieces today to theOtaku: a greeting card and a wallpaper. Both of them from the same picture. I'm very pleased with both. (Please jazie, go see the wallpaper now! It's so cool! ^^) I was having some problems though figuring out what to add to the wallpaper. It just needed some finishing touches, but I couldn't decide on something. So, I asked my dad if he could help me, and I showed him two versions of the wallpaper. Heh, I'm very glad he helped; my dad is so nice, I love him so! (Thanks again for the help, Pappy!) And, that's it. I hope you're all well. Ta! ~God Bless~

Whoooo! Scryed!!!

Hee, my Scryed DVDs came today! Woohoo! I'm so happy! I can't wait to go watch it, it'll be ever so grand. Seriously, you must try and watch Scryed. It's an awesome show, in my opinion. At least watch one episode, maybe two, to see if you like it. It's showing on [adult swim] right now, Saturdays at 12:30. v^.^ Okay, I've said my piece on that. Now, moving on! Something sort of scary happened last night. I was watching Tsubasa, and... the DVD started to skip. I got really worried! I stopped it, and checked the disc, and there are a bunch of little dots on it! I can't wipe it off! I was so worried, I thought I might not be able to even watch the rest of the seventh episode. Ah, but then... something came to mind. "What about the DVD player downstairs, hmm? Maybe it'll work on that?" So, I tried it, and it does work, thank goodness! I think the only reason it skipped on my DVD player was 'cause it's a Chinese DVD, so... must be harder to read. Heh, as long as I can keep watching Tsubasa, right? And, now that I've seen all of the eight episodes on my Tsubasa DVD, I must say... it's pretty good! Once I stopped comparing it to the manga, I enjoyed it much more than before. Keep that in mind once any of you start to watch it. Well-zy, I submitted a Sasuke wallpaper for Steptoussai today, but she's on vacation. Doh! Just figures, don't it? Then again, she is online right now, so maybe she'll still see it! I hope so... Also, Lie74 has a contest goin' right now. Just go to her site to see the details. One last thing. I'm going to list all of the members who've joined my Commenters' Fan Club so far, just for the record: Steptoussai star~wolf Yume sama animEVIL mirokus daughter RinoaSquall4ever jazie Lie74 Mystic Fire (J-chan) That's all of them, I think... so, nine members. Niiice. ^_^ I hope you're all well. Ta! ~God Bless~

So tired... *yawns*

Man... I've been up since 5 am. Way too early! I need a cat nap. You see, the only reason I've been up so long is 'cause my Aunt came over to go shopping with us yesterday, and she ended up sleeping in my room last night. Well, I don't sleep well unless I'm in my own bed, so... I was doomed from the start. Add to that the fact that I've been sleeping in really late, and an extremely loud and annoying dripping sound, and BAM! You get a sleepless night. Twas almost sleepless, anyway. I think I managed to get some rest in... Either way, I'm tired right now, so I'm not going to be able to get to sites. I've been busy and on my feet all day, I just want some rest now. Well, at least I was able to get a bunch of cool stuff at the mall today. Five new manga, a new RPG game, new clothes... very nice. (Of course, my mom paid for most of that stuff. Thanks Mom!) Also, my Tsubasa DVD came earlier this morning, and I already watched the first episode. And it rocked! Even if it was a lot different from the manga, it was just so cool! Ahhh... Kuro-tan... someday, you shall be mine!! Ooh, I love that grumpy ninja. Now, just a bit more news, and then it's off to watch more Tsubasa! My new club, Commenters' Fan Club, is a success! Eight members already (and three maybes v^.^)! Thanks so much to everyone who joined. If I haven't sent you your banner yet, don't worry. I'm working on that now. And still no need for worries! You see, the banner in my last post was more of a prototype. The real banners look much cooler. I also got the feeling yesterday that some people were confused with my word "commenters". Ya see, what I meant by that was people who comment (as far as theOtaku goes). So, if you like people who comment on stuff, you might wanna join my club. Two new wallpapers today, both of Kazuma from Scryed. Eh, well... after awhile, I just gave up on sleeping, so I started working on a wallpaper around 6:20, and voila! Please enjoy. I hope you're all well. Ta! ~God Bless~

Hey y'all!

Well, another day has passed by. My, how time flies! Anyway, don't have much to say today. I made a wallpaper for Bunnywisk, but she hasn't seen it yet. Darn it! I really want her to see it. I hope she likes it... Also, because I'm completely random, I decided to start this club: Tis a club for people who like commenters, basically. Join up if you want. Just comment or PM me, saying you want to join, and you can. If you do decide to join, I can make you your own club banner, using whatever character you want; just make sure to tell me what series they're from (and their name >.>). I hope you're all well. Ta! ~God Bless~

I love you, eBay

Hello, y'all! I'm back, after a three-day absence. (It was three days, wasn't it?) And, I have a bit of news for ya! Today, I was browsin' around eBay, and... I couldn't help myself. I got the Scryed Complete TV series box set! It was cheap, I had the money, I just had to do it! I love Scryed, it's just cool. Heh, I can't wait to get my new DVDs. This time, the seller lives in California, so it won't take very long for my order to get here. Heh, it might even come before my Tsubasa DVD. Well, since I was all hyped up on Scryed goodness, I submitted two greetings... and doubled the amount of ecards while I was at it. Eheh... In fact, the whole Scryed hub is rather empty. Not many wallpapers at all! I'm gonna help fill it up, then. In fact, I'm working on a Ryuho wallpaper right now. Heh, this actually involves that question I asked in my last post. ("What's your favorite character of all time?") Ya see, I had an alterior motive behind asking that. Most of you probably thought it was just another dull question, wouldn't come to anything; and that's why you didn't answer (or you just forgot to). Well, either way, the people that answered it will be getting their own wallpapers dedicated to them. And, since I'm high on Scryed, I'm starting with a Ryuho wallpaper for jazie. Make sure to look for it. ~_^ It's not too late to answer my question; that is, if you want a wallpaper dedicated to you. I hope you're all well. Ta! ~God Bless~

Kratos is so cool...

Whelp, new theme's all done. I know I just changed it awhile ago, but... I couldn't help myself! That picture of Kratos was just too cool, I had to use it. ^^ I'm very much satisfied with the new look, too. Yet again, I've been bored all day. I haven't exactly been up that long anyway (slept in till noon), but still... mainly, I've just been online. Mainly! Doesn't mean I've been on all day. I was on theOtaku earlier however, just browsing around, not even logged in. And do you know what I found? Two plagiarized wallpapers. Of course, I've reported them, and hopefully they'll be deleted soon. They weren't even from a series I've seen before, but I recognized one from a few months ago, so I checked it out, and I'm glad I did. Plagiarism is horrible, I don't understand why people do such things. What do they gain from it? What I found most disturbing however, when I saw one of the plagiarized wallpapers, was that it had been up for a couple of months, and no one had noticed. In fact, the stolen wallpaper had received more downloads than the original. *shakes head* I guess that's all for today, not much to say really. Like yesterday, it's been rather uneventful. Hmmm... I think, just this once, I'll ask you guys a question, for I am rather curious: What is your favorite character of all time? Not necessarily from an anime or manga, just from any series or any movie. You get the picture. I hope you're all well. Ta then! ~God Bless~
