Bishonen: Tôshirô Hitsugaya from Bleach
Well, I have had enough of this ridiculousness. Thanks to a conversation with a certain person - I will refrain from names to keep that person from getting into trouble - I am calling Otaku to join together!
I am speaking of this whole lock-down thing on the main site, in which our main-man Adam has shut down and devoted to the scam ordeal. As I expressed to our nameless-friend, I believe that Adam is obsessing over this scam, and theOtaku is being neglected as a result. I don't know if I am the only one, but I rely almost-solely on theOtaku for manga and anime updates, as well as current news. There is no "sitely stuff" happning on theOtaku, and Adam seems to think it is his responsibility alone to correct the injustice that has been done. We have not been allowed to keep up-to-date on what's been going on - this whole thing having been dropped on us without any explanation in the beginning, and we had to figure out what was going on as things were posted. And we certainly have not been allowed to have our usual updates and features as well.
If anything, this is making me even less empathetic to the situation. I understand it is completely wrong, as we all do - certainly by now, having been bombarded with nothing else since 02/06/07. I miss the polls, the captions, and the general Otaku-ness. A friend of mine, who likes anime and visited the site, emailed me and asked what happened to our editor that he went insane and obsessed.
I had no answer, and could only shrug.
Let me be perfectly clear - I am not telling Adam to stop his self-appointed role of bringing these people to justice. I AM, however, telling him to bring back the Otaku! I believe we have lost the site to political and personal motives, to my distress. It is no longer the site I have grown to loved, with the articles, drop-down hub, and beloved mascot all gone. I have tolerated these things, since there seems to be nothing to do about them, but I cannot and will not tolerate this any longer! Someone has to stand up and tell Adam that he is being unfair, ridiculous, and yes, obsessive.
I have even made a banner/thingy expressing my opinions:
(And I thank
SesshomaruMistres for the use of her Photobucket account - please don't hurt me!!)
If you support my belief at all, please put this somewhere on your site. Make your opinions heard! Email, message, write in your blog, but let your voice be heard! I am not trying to start dissension or fighting, but I am determined to be heard. We are part of theOtaku as well, and have a right to express our opinions. Please, even if you don't rely on Otaku for anything, as a matter of your principles, if you agree with anything I said, support me!
And onto other news....I have a cold, or something, and it hurts to talk. Tutored my bro last week, since my mom can't take him anymore, and used the money to buy some manga. ^_^ Got the first vol. of Vampire Knight - recommended to me by I-can't-remember-I'm-really-sorry!; vols. 12 and 13 of Bleach, and the 12 vol of Tsubasa. I would've gotten more Bleach, but they didn't have 14. -_- I didn't even know the Tsubasa was out already - and the next vol of Absolute Boyfriend, which I really wanted, was out and I didn't know. (Again, I can thank this whole stupid lock-down for THAT.) Also got a new CD - Seventeen Days by 3 Doors Down. Really good! Also got the second uncut box-set of Naruto for about $44 - so my mom gets two days of free tutoring so I can pay for half. Yep, $10 dollars a day. Not bad, for me. ^_^
Haven't done any school - been up to other things. Might this week. WAtched the A&E version of Pride and Prejudice a while ago - 5 hours long. Took me two nights, but I really liked it!! ^_^ It was fun. Watched the new episodes of Beach and Trinity Blood Sunday - I recorded them. Played more FFXII. I'm at the end of the story, so I'm working on filling everything out before I beat it. I'm in the 70's already. Yea! I'm waiting for everyone to be lvl. 77 to fight...Zalera, I think. That level I'll be immune to status effects. My mom figured out the math. ^_^' Balthier and Basch are lvl. 77 already - and everyone's lp board has been filled out, except for the remaining Espers. Geez. Filling out the beastiary is a bitch!
Took two naps today - 2:30-4:30, when my mom woke me up to tell me dad was home and they were going to CVS, and went back to sleep until around 6:30, when she told me I had to put something in my stomach. I feel really lousy. -_- I did get a lot of writing done lately, so I'm happy about that!
I'm still in a funk about a lot of things, but now that I have a mission to focus on - getting this DAMN embargo lifted - it seems to have given me something to do. ^_^' Not that I'm going to obsess over it, but it gives me a goal to work to, ya know?
Anyway, I think that's about it.
Reno is MINE made me a new button - it's got Rude and Reno on it. It's the second in my long line of buttons. ^_^' I'll catch ya all later - and PLEASE, at least give some consideration to my opinion on the embargo.
