10/2/06
So exhausted. I though I would release school stress by going to the UC-Miami game but I think I made it worse. I couldn't stay 100% awake for 5 consecutive minutes. Anyways, during lunch, apparently there was a fight between two freshman and it reaffirmed my belief of how I hate HS freshman. At least most freshman (any freshman on otaku are cool because they get what is really cool in life, Anime). Also, our band director (Mr. Goretta) talked to the band today (I knew it was coming) about how horrible we are as a group and I believed every word he said. Well, I hope you like the theme and if you don't feel free to suggest, so far I've only gotten 3 from LB (2 were the same song) and 1 from GN. So I added something, if you suggest a song from 10/2/06 on, I will put your song up and get you something else (PRIZES RULE). Also, today's picture has something to do with Japanese culture (And there was much rejoicing). Ta Ta For Now.

DID YOU KNOW...
...that the Paramarines was a short-lived parachute-trained unit of the U.S. Marine Corps in World War II, but its members were never dropped by parachute into combat?

PICTURE OF THE DAY

Wikipe-tan, a moé anthropomorphization of Wikipedia, similar in theme to an OS-tan. In Japanese animation, "moé" characters are those designed to elicit a protective or loving response from the audience. Moé anthropomorphism is a form of anthropomorphism where moé qualities are given to non-human beings, objects, concepts, or phenomena. Like many moé characters, Wikipe-tan is designed to be a cute young girl, and this image shows her in a maid costume.
