Happy Monday, again! It seems as though I'll just be coming around once a week for a short period of time. Sorry for not getting to everyone's sites lately. I've been feeling rather dragged out and tired. Hopefully I'll wake myself from my stupor or slumber, whatever it may be. ^^;
Contest Results
Recently, I've gotten results from a couple contests I had entered back in the summer. ...Oh summer, how I miss thee! *sniff sniff*
The first contest I entered was hosted by CosmicSailor. He asked contestants to write a paragraph concerning 3 of our favorite anime characters. It was hard to pick just 3, but I came up with Spike Spiegel, Vash and Ichigo Kurosaki. Out of those 3, CosmicSailor chose my statement about Ichico Kurosaki. Here's what I said:
Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach - I think Ichigo represents that fighting spirit in all of us. For some, it's not as strong, but it's still there. He's always pushing himself so he can better protect and fight for those he loves. He's the type of friend that sticks closer than a brother.
Heehee. As I reread what I had said, it almost sounds cheesy, but apparently, CosmicSailor liked it! ^^ As a reward, he worked on a wood burning piece and sent it to me. It was extremely nice on his behalf: he tried sending it around my birthday and included with the wooden piece a birthday card as well! So here's a thumbnail of the Ichigo piece he did:
Fighting Spirit In All Of Us
Hosted By theOtaku.com
The other contest I entered was hosted by
Iruka Sensei for The Soul Society. Her contest was an "artsy" contest, which had a couple different fields to choose from, including
wallpapers and
fanart. I chose to do the fanart and did a couple pieces. ^^; I came in second, which isn't bad I guess. It was a fun contest, and I think I learned some new stuff while doing it. The second placed prize consists of a layout, wallpaper and icon.
Speaking of the Soul Society hosted by Iruka, I know a lot of my friends are members. So if you are,
which one are you and why did you choose that character?
I think I'm in the Soul Society since I asked Iruka, but methinks she still has to come up with an icon for me of Kuukaku Shiba. I chose her since I couldn't think of any more female Soul Society members that weren't already taken. XD *shrugs*
The Mist
My friend and I went to the theater on Saturday to see Stephen King's
The Mist. It was funny - neither of us thought there would be anyone out of our friends who would want to see that. But I guess we found each other! Lol
The movie was all right. It wasn't as scary as I thought. The moment I saw the first creature, I thought, "Feh. Second hand computer graphics." But the movie did turn out better than I thought, although it was sad... Typical Stephen King ending if you ask me. The only thing I didn't like too much was the fact that he made Christians look like psychos. *shakes head* If you see it, I hope you don't think I'm like
that. Lol
A White Christmas
We had our first snow here in Maryland. Snow fell on Wednesday all day for the most part. We got a good bunch of it, more than 3 inches or so. Seeing the snow gave me some hope that this Christmas would be snowy, at least I hope so. The last few years it seemed as though we hadn't gotten any snow for quite some time.
Know Your Anime!
Aha! I knew this last Unknown would throw a lot of your off, but still I was surprised by those who did get it! Lol. The correct answer is:
Gutts - "Berserk"
I have never seen this anime before, but from what I could tell, it almost looks like a darker type of anime. Interesting. Know anything about it?
Moving on, here's today's Unknown. *chuckles*
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Well, I'll see you all later. I hope you all are doing well. I'm sure a lot of you have exams and finals coming up - same here! So I hope to do some visiting when I can. *hugs* Buh bye! ^^
P.S. Did you see the trailor for the new Otaku? It looks very interesting... I can't wait to see it happen!
I'm Baaaaack!!
