*vile laughter*
What a day.

School was dull. In PE we had to cycle through six stations of different PE things, each one simpler than the last. I won't go into detail for it wasn't important.

In fact, nothing in school seems interesting anymore, academically speaking. Other than history (today we started Japan, as a matter of fact), it all seems so dull. I feel like I'm barely learning anything.

I ended up going to my friend's house for the first time today. I thought I had yearbook club, and I turned out to be wrong, so I caught up with him and went to his place. It's actually a very nice house- There's a cool fireplace and he has a big TV in his room. I watched him play Windwaker for a while, then we were going to go to Monica's house, but time was against us.

But on the bright side, I'm finally not totally poor! I got a (very) belated birthday card from my aunt for twenty bucks. I plan on putting it towards Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes..

Yeah, I don't think I'll ever put something relevant in my MyOtaku.

*sigh*
Oh, how productive this three-day weekend has been. I've done.. Well, just about everything I could possibly imagine doing!

...God, I suck at lying.

Yesterday wasn't any better than Saturday. I sat around, doing absolutely nothing. Sure, a little Soul Calibur was played, and a few brothers (Well, one brother) were wounded, but I did nothing relevant. I would have liked to have gone somewhere, perhaps to a friend's house or something.

But nope. Didn't go anywhere. We sat around and watched the annoying lady on E! interview different Grammy winners. It's always unpleasant when the Grammys are on here. You see, my mother used to be a singer.. She decided to move to California to get a demo tape going, but it never happened. She ended up meeting my father, marrying him, having a child and became a stay-at-home parent. She's been very depressed ever since.

And watching the crappiest rappers win awards for best album doesn't help.

It was a little better this year, though. The medication she takes makes her more cheery. Plus, she seemed to be enjoying Outkast's performances. o.o She wants to pick up their album.

Anyhoo, I think I'll go to Barnes & Noble and Best Buy today. I just need to get out of this house. I'm so friggin' broke, though. It'll be ages before I have enough to buy a DVD.

Yeah, I'm getting tired of my whining and groping in MyOtaku entries, and I'm sure you all are too. I'll try and provide more useful information later.

WHOO!
YEAH!! WHOO! A 3-DAY WEEKEND! HELL YES! I HAVE SO MUCH STUFF TO DO!

..Well, not really. In fact, this is the most boring weekend I've had in a while.

I was planning on going to the mall today, but I'm flat broke and could not get a ride. I haven't bought a thing for months (other than the Eva DVD) and I still have, maybe, five dollars. This is very unpleasant, for Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, The Sims 2 and the FLCL Soundtrack are all available now, if not soon. Plus there's the whole PlayStation thing..

Yeah, I like whining, and I bet you all like me liking it, too.

So, anyway, I've been playing Metroid Prime and The Sims since Friday night, out of anticipation for their upcoming sequels.

If you haven't heard, I've been replaying my Metroid Prime file from the beginning- I just got into the Impact Site a few hours ago.

It was strange, though. I was reading through my logs of Chozo Lore, and looking at the scenery.. It felt so sad. That's sort of pitiful, isn't it? Getting emotional over a few fabricated documents and some 2-year-old Gamecube graphics?

And, overall, I seem to be more emotional as of late. I've laughed hysterically at reruns of television shows I've seen thousands of times yet have never even chuckled at. Perhaps my bottled up emotions have gained enough pressure to bust out.

I've mostly spent today finding new skins for The Sims. It's sad, really, that I've had the game for so long and have never downloaded a new skin for the game. Today, though, I found:

-3 Excel Saga skins- Excel, Hyatt, and Ropponmatsu (Adult). There was Child Ropponmatsu too, but I didn't bother getting her. These skins are truly awesome- I don't think I've seen such detailed costumes in The Sims ever.

-2 Evangelion skins- I downloaded a crappy Rei one. The face is so messed up, but the body (Plugsuit) fits the series very well. Nice and detailed. I also found an Eva 00 skin on some Korean Sims Skins site. It acts as if the actual Eva's body is just a costume, and it wears regular male pajamas whenever it goes to sleep.

-Sephiroth- Hoo hoo, such an awesome skin. The cape is pretty cool, and the hair works nicely. This is probably the third best skin I found, next to Excel and Hyatt.

-DeathScythe, from Gundam Wing- This one works just like the Eva 00.. Except the shoulder pad things cause for frequent glitches and such. It's fun to have around for effect. Plus, his formal outfit comes equipped with his scythe and shield thingie.

I'm probably going to sleep in tomorrow, and vegetate some more after finding a good Asuka (and possibly Misato and Ritsuko) skin. Also, I've begun working on my entry for the next Rising Stars of Manga competition. First prize is $500, I believe, second is $250, and 8 others get $100. All are published in a manga anthologie book. It's a cool contest.

Also.. I want to make Monica something for Valentine's day.. Perhaps a drawing, with a deep, long, heart-felt letter.

Well, it's past midnight now, and I'm gonna go to sleep. Good night, everyone.

Yearbook Club..
Ah, yearbook club. Such a demeaning, repetitive after-school activity. Yet someone must do it.

I'm thought of as the "techie in training", as there are two 8th grade computer geniuses who tend to do the majority of the page layouts using Adobe Pagemaker. I tend to watch, and work on it during fourth period when I'm in the yearbook teacher/advisor, my Language Arts teacher's, room.

Well, I'm really bored, so I'll name off some yearbook people that tend to be there a lot..

Heath- A rather short 8th grade fellow who is the head yearbook programmer. I remember seeing him back when he was in 6th grade, (I was in 5th at the time) and he seemed to be a pretty introverted fellow. Nowadays, though, he's a foul-mouthed, unpleasant snowboarding freak with a lot of suggestive T-shirts. He.. Tends to tease me, though it seems to be out of consideration. I don't know.

Extra note: He looks like me, only stoner-ey and with shorter hair.

Elias- Second-in-command yearbook programmer. He's a very large fellow, and the best friend of Heath. He's not as bad; this atrocious Junior High School doesn't seem to have changed him as much as with Heath. He's nicer to us 7th graders (Scrubs, as we are called.. -_-), but is kind of a slacker. Heath tends to do everything important.

Greg- It's funny how our PE Teacher's Assistant can be so serious while he's taking role in second period can be such of a goofy person after seventh. He's a nice guy, yeah, but he never stands up for himself. Heath and Elias are abusive of poor Greg. Honestly, he has nothing to do in yearbook, but he's worth mentioning because I know him.

He still owes me a quarter.

Daniel- A very pleasant 8th grader person. He thinks of me as "cool", if he's not joking in some sick and twisted way, and tends to pay attention to me. He's kinda dense, though. Not really respected by Heath or Elias.

There's plenty more, but I'm being kicked off.

Thanks for reading total crap that you don't care about!

...*twitch*
o.o' Doctors are as contradictory to each other as TV makes them out to be.

Okay, so today I got out of school to go to the Childrens' Medical Center in LA because of a referral regarding my Scoliosis. We got down there quickly enough- I got some good Mario and Luigi time in.

We got in there after 5 minutes of authorization.. There were a lot of disabled children in there. I, conciously, didn't expect that to happen. I was really caught off-guard. It's sad to see them.. Extremely pitiable. I don't think I'll ever laugh at Special Ed on Crank Yankers ever again.

Anyhoo, the process didn't take long. I had to hop around and bend over for them to examine the back (Yeah, back.. o.o I think they were secretly pedophiles..), and the doctor did the strangest thing.

He basically laughed like Woopi Goldberg in The Lion King at the results we got from a tissue sample from my chiropractor.. Apparently, he has never heard of vitamins to treat scoliosis, or even that scoliosis is caused by lack of nutrients to the tissues. He also, apparently, has spent 10 years studying pediatric back problems.

So. I don't have scoliosis by definition, which means that I don't have my back curved at over ten degrees.

..He wants us to come back in 6 months for another x-ray. "Cases like this tend to correct themselves." But, what if it worsens? Will the expensive, life-threatening surgery be required?

And even then, if I keep a healthy diet, my back will never really get that bad, and such surgery will never be necessary. Few and far between back pains are better than paralysis from back surgery.

Oh, and I changed my OB avatar and banner to a JTHM-ish thing. Wow, that banner has taken me over a month to do. I've had to restart it 3 times.. >_> I think it's worth it. And I'm going to add the full picture as a MyOtaku introduction picture.

I'm going to keep my Witch Hunter Robin avatar, though. I'm not giving that baby up for a while.

The Who Hates School Thread
How stupid can you get?

Judging by how these people type, if their education stops now they're gonna be working MacDonald's or posing for porno magazines, if they fit the criteria.

This reminds me heavily of Fahrenheit 451. The whole thing is about how society has lost all interest for books. How all they do is listen to the radio and watch television.

It turns out that the government didn't ban books. People stopped wanting them. All buildings had been fireproofed, and the firement were out of jobs. So they then had the occupation of burning these now "illegal" books.

Shinmaru said one day in a conversation, "The contributions of our generation are gonna really suck." That seems to be the case. The poor work ethic of our nation's youth is probably going to lead to the fall of our country.

I mean, I know this KAOS person was born in 1991-- But that's only a year after me. Am I really that alone in real life because of my age? I can find nobody to talk to, nobody to discuss ideals with. Shin and Kaz have called me an "anomaly" on several occasions.. o_O But they're smarter than me.

Either that or I'm one humble-ass white person.

..hm..
Funny thing happened today in Yearbook Club.

Well, first off, only three people showed up today- Myself included. The teacher left to go pick up her kids and get some stuff in the office, so the three of us were sitting there alone. One girl was eating some weird Indian food, the other was on the computer setting up her page. That thing must be 2 weeks past its deadline.

I sat there, reading, helping the computer issues when I could.. I then found out that the art and poetry page has maybe 5 poems on it. All very sucky. So.. I decided to submit the ones that are in the Official Sennen Poetry Thread. The fog one I decided to put my name on, but I want the water one to remain anonymous.

After all, Monica's working on the poetry page. She'll read it, eventually, and if she doesn't figure it out I suppose I'll eventually tell her. She writes poetry; maybe she'll appreciate what I wrote.

Argh. My Farenheight 451's cover got scratched up in my backpack. Poor thing's cover is ripped in the corner..

What a crappy MyOtaku update.

   That settles it!
I'm gonna become an even more active member in this little community of OtakuBoards!

The Otaku Awards kinda left me feeling bad. The few votes that I got in nominations were too spread out- One or two in each category. To those of you who did vote for me, I highly appreciate it.

But that is going to change. I'm going to start posting more frequently; with at least two OB posts a day and one MyOtaku, whenever possible. I'm going to get noticed by the masses. I'm going to be recognized by the most distinguished of the OBers. If it doesn't happen, I'll at least know that I tried.

>_> I started yesterday. I made a new thread about Yuki Kajiura, which has one reply. I didn't expect that much, really. It's not like Kajiura's that popular in America. Or among OBers, for that matter. I was thinking of making a Tom Clancy thread, or one about Farenheight 451, but.. Syk, Shin and Kaz convinced me into making a poetry thread.

I wrote two poems about Monica as I was watching her in seventh period today. They're.. In my opinion, not that great. But people seem to think that they're "very deep" and have good metaphorical meanings. If people like it, I might make more. But mostly I made those just to get some feelings off my chest. I'm tired of bottling things up, and writing is a good outlet.

Damn you people. Not reading my MyOtaku. I have had that last post up for almost 2 whole days and not a single reply. For shame, people. For shame. *solemnly shakes head*

God.. What a dull weekend.
Those of you who know me may be wondering why I wasn't on as much as I normally am over the weekend.

The answer to that is simple: I've been working on a friggin' biography report since Thursday night.

About a month ago, our Language Arts teacher gave us a mission: To choose an author, read a book by him or her, make a book report, and then make a huge-ass biography about the said writer.

I ended up doing Tom Clancy along with Ethan, Frankie and another friend of mine known as Frank Cerda. Our book reports went off rather well-- By my standards, at least. When I talk to the class, I speak in a large vocabulary mode, extremely quickly, and half the class starts cracking up before I'm done. This one was no different. ..>_>

And, on Thursday I had Mr. Ethan over to begin the 10-foot-long timeline on Tom Clancy. The major obstacle was finding information. This damn author has so little information about him on the internet and in books that it isn't even funny. We barely got anything done on Thursday- He ended up ogling Misato via my Evangelion manga and DVDs, and we only got the camouflage-ish stuff onto the green paper.

Friday was a little better. I got the two Franks over, and we got most of the information down onto the board. We could have done much more, however, if Frankie and Ethan were not on newgrounds.com the entire time laughing at Goths' heads getting blown up.

Saturday.. Got the board done. Ethan discovered Habbo.com, experienced cyber sex for the first time, and jumped into a "relationship" with the slutty girl from Ontario whom he had "sex" with, way too quickly. It was messed up. The whole thing had a Spongebob thing.. To summarize it.. "ARE YA READY KIDS?! *humps".

When Frankie heard we weren't doing the movie, he just walked out without telling any of us. He has it pretty rough nowadays, and I don't entirely blame him, but it still pissed us all off. We later found out he was getting a Tom Clancy-esque home movie done all by himself, with the assistance of his mother, her boyfriend, and some other people. That was kind of him, in a way.

And.. Ethan stayed here until 10:30 writing down the information for our oral report along with myself. He actually kind of fell asleep for 15 minutes, and I took over. o_O I let him borrow some FLCL manga nad he left.

I thought it was done.. But Frank Cerda unexpectedly came over and we practiced our oral presentation some. He's actually a nice guy-- I've never had a chance to directly talk with him before. We spent an hour on the presentation. The next 4 were all about Soul Calibur II. He totally owns anyone with Yoshimitsu, but I managed to beat him 4 times consecutively with Assassin.

I feel he overstayed his welcome. We didn't even know he was coming over today, and he stayed until 8. It's not his fault, though. It was from a lack of communication. >_> He ate fried chicken that I could've had. That bastard.

Well, the presentation's tomorrow, and I don't feel entirely ready. Frankie and Ethan have 4 periods to memorize their parts flawlessly, without note cards, unless we get to present ours on Tuesday. God, that'll be so awesome if that happens.

I'll update tomorrow.
