Wow, an update.. It can't be!
Yeah, I changed my entire myOtaku scheme today, colors and all, excluding my update font color.. I had everything done (more or less) last night, but the actual intro image turned out to be too large, so I had to resize it today and put it up. The avatar was up last night, but.. Nothing else was too different at the time.

I call this little scheme "Tokyo Pacing", though I'm not entirely sure why. I originally meant for the girl to be standing still while everything else is blurred from moving so quickly about behind her, but I couldn't find anything that worked well like that. So, I guess you could say that the pace of life that people take can vary from person to person. Some people move very quickly, and others take things slowly to take everything in. Unfortunately, most people today are worrying about getting to places on time to stop and notice the subtle, natural things. Japan, I think, is an interesting example of that. You have one of the most technologically advanced cities in the world in one place, and a few hours away you have really ancient, unchanged cities.

So, um.. Yeah.

I've noticed that, compared to a lot of members, I change my myOtaku theme a lot. I pump them out, sacrificing my normal attention to detail for some odd reason. Oftentimes I'll do something, keep it for a little while, get tired of it, and try to make something better, though I only end up making something worse.

This is why I ask you, my friends, to tell me what your favorite theme of mine (that you have seen) is. I just feel like getting some feedback would be good, so I can try to please the 'fans' a bit more.

..Yes, as you can tell, I'm very bored.

We did the high jump in PE the other day.. I was absent on the day of the preliminaries, and I still had to do it, so I ended up [trying to] jump over 3' 9" high poles. The second time I ended up landing on my hand, spraining two fingers on my left hand. It was rather painful the first day, but a few hours of physical therapy, aka typing, made everything much better. I still had to go to my piano lesson, though.. *sigh*

In other news, I seriously need to get a new computer soon. This poor little 98 HP could barely hold any more anime in it if it tried, and my campaign against the Spyware is starting again. I would appreciate some suggestions on what computer I should get next, if anybody has some valuable information.

Last night, for the first time, I truly realized the genius of Chappele's Show. "Trading Spouses", a parody skit, was something that even made my mom laugh. Dave Chappele is certainly a funny man, and his various voices just make everything even more hilarious. "Racial satire" is something that I seem to enjoy, just because of all of the lame stereotypes that frequent my school. When I watch this show, Homer Simpson's phrase "It's funny because it's true" comes to mind.

Of course, this doesn't mean I have a twisted conception of every single person of every single race. I just see certain individuals at my school through some of that show's characters, and it helps me just laugh at them. It's a good stress reliever.
