Well well

Let's see...was it a month ago or so? That we brought back (XD haha!) the RP between [Zabukawaiiirl] Alexis and I, known as "Brought Together". This kind of makes it season, or arc, 3. XD You know, I didn't expect it. But one thing led to another and now here we are.

Well, arc 3 has pretty much been yelling at us to close down and then start fresh and new later on.

Luckily, we've got some good future ideas for arc/season 4. >:3

I admit we, well, mostly me, have been stale and dropping all the bad guys pretty bad and leaving us with filler. Well, not anymore! We're going to make the best of our future plots. >:U And I will make us all proud.

Okay, I'm gonna stop talking about that. xD

Oh, but it was great. 8D Really great. >w<

---

I've been avoiding posting here like the plague. Not really, I just never had anything to say. Lack of motivation I guess is another factor. Not very fun, really.

Oh well.

I guess I'll share some things.

I might hopefully get a job. But I'm not going to go to far into it right now, because I want to see if I have a chance of getting it before I delve too far into it. Soo...here's hoping!

I also went ahead and decided to purchase a commission from an artist on dA known as Nekoni. She's pretty good at what she does! She has a way of drawing characters looking exactly as they do in the manga, with "anime" colours. Amazing, eh? I really like her stuff! So, she was opening up commissions a few days ago. Normally I just kind of veer away since I never seem to have the means to purchase them. But I went in and checked it out just for the heck of it and see what her pricings were and whatnot. Well, I recently had bought a subby on dA using a money order, which was awesome since I don't have nor use a credit card. And I will be getting some extra cash later on, so, I went to her and said I'd love to commission her, and if we could negotiate a good payment method that would work for us both. Her prices for things were reasonable, too.

And wow. She is such a nice girl. She's been such a peach and very accomodating to her ...well, clients, for lack of a better word. Overall she will draw anything you ask for, just so as long as it's not hentai (or porn), or anything illegal. I've gotta say, that's so cool of her. But anyway, I did tell her that I could pay her with a money order, which would be easier since it would be paid in cash and I could convert it to Euros. She agreed to that, and had even added a few other methods of payment for others if they wanted to! Pretty neat, I must say.

So, I e-mailed her with the details, and she e-mailed back a couple days later for confirmation and whatnot. She also has an interesting system where she shows you the progress of the drawing little by little, so you can review the work so far and see if you like it. I've never thought of that, that's pretty cool. So now I eagely await. X3

Hmmm...

I'm going to draw Jason Voorhees in a Halloween costume for a Jason Voorhees club on dA. xD I already know what to draw him as. Hee hee hee....it'll be so funny.

And finally...

There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want.

Oh.

And I might just go to Washington to see my dA buddy Akatoki in April. 8D During the week of Sakura Con. Oh, I hope I can. It would be awesome. OwO So hopefully it will work out.

Mmm well

10/8/09 05:50 pm

Yeah....not much to say.

All is well, I'm in college, and I'm doing stuff. Hopefully soon I'll get a job and get my book published by the end of the year.

I know I don't update here, but who gives a shit.

I hate it when something is up in the air!!

8/14/09 11:19 pm

You know when you're stuck in a situation where you are usually in a no-choice path, but you do want to find out more about it and even try to fight for it to get what you want or need? Do you ever feel nervous and worried when you can't do anything about it until later, but you want to solve it now? Do you feel stressed when it's not an open and shut case? Do you feel that you can't rest until it's over?

Well, that's how I'm feeling now.

Some time ago, I was told I could take a credit or non-credit course part time in the continuing education program at one of the colleges here in the city. I'll admit I'm not a school kind of person, at all, but I was willing to try it since it would be taking an English course. So on August 3rd I was able to register online (or can register in person on August 10th, but I picked the online idea since it was easier for me, and plus I'd be doing a favour for those who do not have computers and HAVE to go in person) I registered and payed for the course, and was set to start from August 3st to December 14th. Two days a week, 7 PM to 9 PM. Sounded okay, a little nerve-wracking for me, but okay.

Then THIS happens.

While I was away up north with my mom and cousin a couple days ago, dad (who later joined us) said this woman from the Registry department called. Okay, well, I was a little nervous about it, but figured it was nothing...right?

WRONG.

So I finally got to talk to this woman in the aforementioned department...and she comes out with a slap in the face. I can't take the course. Because I don't have my Math 416 or Physical Science 416, which is what is needed to graduate and get a diploma from High School in my Province. This IS true, yes. I did not. I got my diploma some other way, that was still approved. And mom did speak to the Guidance Counselor weeks ago, who said I could take the continuing education program, which meant classes at night. I went through all the necessary registering procedures and paid for it. Then this comes up.

But you know what?

It's very likely a load of CRAP.

Do you know why?

Well, that's because I suspect that it was just a cover up. There's someone else, someone who likely scratched their crotch and did NOTHING during high school, therefore failing and needing to take this course in order to get the English credits needed. But of course, the lady can't tell me that because it would be politically incorrect. In the big picture, I actually DIDN'T need to take the course. I really didn't. I can go straight to University once I'm 21. This course was merely to enhance my English Literature skills, I didn't exactly NEED to go. So in a way, I don't blame them for pushing me aside so someone else who NEEDS the course can have my spot. I do understand that, I'm not going to hold that against them.

But really, I just didn't know what to say when I was on the phone with the woman. I just kind of said "Oh" and "Okay" and "Sure" and stuff, then asked her if I could think it all over. Really, I was just surprised. I didn't want to argue, either. I'm not confrontational at all. So I hang up and drop the bomb on my parents.

Now we're stuck with this.

And I don't know what to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's nothing I can do. I don't want to disappoint my parents, but there's nothing else I can do. Yes, a part of me DID want to take the course, and the other half did not. I don't need to, I'm not a school person, I get nervous EASILY, I'm shy, I fear I won't do well...yeah.

Mom asked me if she should fight for it, and I told her that I didn't know. Because I don't!!!

I want to do something, but it's all up in the air!!! There's nothing I can do! The college is closed on the weekend, and then I'm leaving for Sherbs on Sunday for the next week or so! I'm sunk. I can't do this. I just can't.

Maybe I'll just get a job, which will hopefully be easier since students are going back to school soon. I can work till I'm 21.

Besides, getting a job was more on my list than taking a class.

Ugh.

I need to do something.

So my dad met John Cleese

7/27/09 09:35 pm

I'm not even joking. He really did.

My dad got into a really neat gig. He was a background performer for John Cleese's gala at the Just For Laughs Festival. For those who read this and don't know what that is, the Just For Laughs Festival is a huge comedy festival that's held in Montreal, Canada. Probably one of the world's biggest comedy festivals.

So John Cleese came to the festival and had a gala there, and my dad got in to be a background performer, and actually got to meet him. Be jealous, Monty Python/Faulty Towers/A Fish Called Wanda/and other movies fans. XD It was so neat because he's one of his (dad's) comedy idols and I've got to say that it's a huge honour, you know? John even signed his Monty Python book that also has the transcript to Monty Python's "Life Of Brian". He wrote "___(My dad's nickname), Best Wishes," and then signed his name. I have got to say, WOW. I love John Cleese, and his voice is just so funky. Monty Python rocks.

My dad's met his fair share of famous people, actually. I'll name some off the top of my head. Tim Allen, The Scorpions band, the actor who played John Hammond in the Jurassic Park movies, Jeremy Hotz (comedian), Joey Elias (comedian), aaandd...hmm...I'll ask him later and get back to this. I gotta say that meeting John was probably one of the big highlights! He said he was a nice guy and great to work with. Totally awesome, eh?

He even got a picture with him, too. I'll try to go get it from him. X3 Oh man I'm jealous.

My days away

7/25/09 04:35 pm

Well I'm gonna go into as much detail as I can about my time away in the Sherbs. I left on Monday July 13th and came back today Saturday July 25th.

I didn't do so much there, I relaxed and chilled, hung out, drew a lot, read, and yeah. It was nice! I enjoyed myself. ^w^ I always love being there. It doesn't matter what I'm doing, just as long as I'm there.

Let's see...last Wednesday I think it was, my uncle, who lives with my grandmother (so that she won't have to move out and because she can't take care of herself), took me to see the fireworks going on at a nearby park in the city. We also heard them almost every night that week. xD So yeah, we went there and it was pretty cool! The fireworks lasted a little over 20 minutes or so, and they were so neat. We were in a good spot, too. We were on a bridge next to the water, and across the water where the amusement park was (I'll get to that later), we could see them. So we were close, but also at a good distance for it not to hurt our ears. xD They had neat colours and shapes I'd never seen before! It was cool. Too bad we weren't close enough to hear the music playing along to it.

Oh well!

Then the next day...or was it the day after that? I forget which one. My uncle then took me to the aforementioned amusement park. I hadn't been to an amusement park in years! Last I went, I think I was going into or have graduated grade 11, it was in Ottawa. And I was pretty excited about it and thought it was cool he took me there. 8D

But...I'm afraid I can't say the same for the aftermath.

I went on the Tilt-A-Whirl, which was fun and I was squealing and laughing, I felt like a kid again. XD It was fun. But afterward I was feeling REALLY dizzy, and needed a drink. So we went to a cart and got an iced tea. Which is my drug. XD I felt better, and so then I went on the Ferris Wheel. Nothing much wrong there. I took some pictures and enjoyed the ride. I love the Ferris Wheel! And oh, this one at the top had REALLY nice views. So that was good. ^^

I then went on this ride, thinking it would be fun. It has makeshift cars all in a circle together. You sit in them and then they all go drive forward and backward in a circle, REALLY fast. It was okay at first, but during the second round, I was saying to myself "Please stop the ride!" because I was starting to feel sick and nautious. After it was over, I was feeling so sick and nautious. Then I said to my uncle that I wasn't feeling well and wanted to go back home. I felt so bad for what happened, but he understood. So we went back to grandma's, I went upstairs and took a nap for an hour, and then I took a shower. I felt so much better.

So, now I realized that I just don't have the stomach for rides anymore. That stinks, you know. It was also a small place, so everything was either something I did NOT want to ride, or were too young for me. Oh well, these things happen. I was telling it to my brother and my dad over the phone, and then my aunt on Saturday, but I'll get to that later too.

We also went grocery shopping a few times, which was fun. XD We also went to a mall, where my uncle bought a ladder on sale. I just walked around, checking out the stores and waiting with my grandmother.

Then on Saturday evening, my aunt, whom I stayed with back in January, and for a weekend in March, came to bring me back to her place last weekend. She stayed around and we all chatted a bit before leaving. We got to the house and I went right to sleep. XD

The next day, on the Sunday, my aunt later in the morning asked me what I wanted to do. I mentioned that we should go mini-putting. (Back in 2006 when I first started my little getaways to Sherbs on my own, I stayed with her for a few days and we had gone mini-putting, and it was fun.) She said sure, but suggested we go during the week after she finished work since the mini-put place was open until 8 PM every day. I wasn't sure what else to do, she suggested a few things, and I shrugged a little, considering them. Then I picked up the newspaper brochure thingy that was advertising activies and places to go in Sherbs. I saw a little picture of the Coaticook Suspension Bridge, and remembered that I really wanted to go there. I'd passed by it several times, and back in 2007 when I visited for the week, my other aunt and I went over to the fence and looked at the bridge and down into the gorge. I had wanted to cross it for a long time but never had the oppurtunity to do so.

So I suggested this to my aunt, and she said sure! So we went there, it was a good day to go too, not too hot and not to cloudy either. We had good weather for it.

On the drive up, we did NOT get lost, we took a scenic route. xD Well, we missed a turn to take to get into Coaticook and wandered around a little...but yeah, she didn't call it getting lost, we just took a scenic route. We eventually got there, and so we registered and then hiked! Man, going uphill was tiring for me. DX I never realized how lazy I was. But it was a good workout though, and it was well worth it. We went along the trails, I got some good pictures, and oh yes, we crossed the bridge, one of the first things todo. It was so high, and so cool! The views of the surrounding forests and the distance beyond was to die for. It was fantastic! I learned a little history, got a workout, and went to a place I'd wanted to go to. It was fun. OwO By the history portion I mean, there were some signs located along the trails talking about the different areas of the gorge and of the bridge itself. It was neat!

We went back, I showered, we ate corn on the cob, and then I chilled all evening and went to bed.

The next day was slack, since it was Monday and my aunt had to work all afternoon. My uncle worked in his workshop located next to the house. I went out a few times to walk around and get pictures, and my uncle invited me into the shop to show me what he was working on. He was making a bathroom cabinet and linen closet set, with the plans and pictures all up and ready, it was cool! I even watched him for a few minutes as he measured and sawwed through the wood, using a handsaw and table saw, which man, were SO much louder in real life than on TV! I watch "Holmes on Homes" a lot, and they use these heavy duty tools, so I knew a thing or two of how these people worked.

I was also under the impression of going back to my grandmother's that day, so after I spoke to my mom, I later called Paul (my uncle who lives at my grandmother's) and asked him to come get me that evening. He said sure and there we go.

Mary-Ellen (my aunt) came home later on and said we could go mini-putting that same evening. I really wanted to go, but since I was going to go back, I had a problem! So I called Paul, but grandma answered and said he was on his way. Oh dear!!!! XD Mary-Ellen and Owen were cool about it, though. XD Paul came in and they chatted awhile, then Mary-Ellen said we could still go, and Paul came along with us, so it all worked out! We had a nice time! It was fun.

We came back to the house, and Owen was burning some dead wood, making it into a campfire! We sat around it for a good while...with no marshmallows. Nooooooo!!!! Oh well. It was nice anyway. Paul then took me back to grandma's and I went to bed. XD

A funny thing happened Tuesday. Paul took his motorcycle and drove to Vermont for the day. Yeah, Sherbrooke is about an hour away from the U.S. border to Vermont, so it's close by. Grandma and I were left alone for the day, which was fine by us! But, when lunchtime came around, we didn't have much to make. So she said we were going to take a taxi to her favourite restaurant. And we did! It was cool. We also picked up a couple of grocery items, and took a cab back home. Tee hee....I got some sweet things. xD

The rest of the week, we all mostly just chilled around. And on Thursday we went to my cousin Isabelle's house! She has a one-year-old son, and also, horses!! Since like, forever. XD It was fun. I played with Caleb some, saw the horses, including the recent newborn! Her name is Safira, since her mother's name is Sora.

Sora is a horse she bought from a breeder, and under the condition of buying her, she (Isabelle) had to let Sora breed with one of the racer horses. It was a problem at first, since she didn't like any of the other horses. Awww...I felt so bad for them. But oh, the original owner had this beautiful black stallion named Passion. I saw a picture of him last summer when we were visiting and she was telling us about Sora's pregnancy, and I had asked who the father was. Passion was a beautiful horse, and Sora of course let him mount her and they breeded. XD

I first saw Safira in May when we went up for her (Isabelle) birthday party, she was a day old! Oh my gosh. She's doing a lot better nowadays, but wowie. It was so cool.

On Friday Paul took me to the mall to have something to do. XD I said sure and off we went! He went to go do his thing, and said to meet back in an hour, I could go do what I wanted. I wandered into the bookstore, and ended up buying myself a new notebook. Yay! What was cool was that it's made from 100% recycled paper, perfectly eco-friendly. Yay! OwO I then went to EB Games and bought myself a DS game, Crosswords. It was like, 14 bucks.

Then we went home. X3

And then Saturday morning, I came home in the car my dad left to his friend to fix, and now here I am. 8D I'm home now.

So woot!

Suff

7/11/09 06:57 pm

Well, an asstard flamed me today. But that's not the problem. The problem was me reacting and giving them the time of day. I cannot believe how stupid I was. I've given in to them in the past, by replying. Now I realize it was probably someone thinking it would be funny to troll me and do that.

What got to me most was that they were twisting my words around and making ME look like the bad guy. Well, I just marked their comments as spam and hid them. I'm done. I can take constructive criticism. Destructive, and dissing, I just can't. There's a fine line with opinions and actually going to them and saying "Your stuff sucks." Well, I learned some lessons today. I'm going to make sure they don't get to me. Because really, I feel so bad for them. So, from now on I'll just laugh at them and hide their comments. ^_^ Oh, and the person even called me out on being obsessed with Deidara, and having lots of works done of him being such a bad thing. What the hell? Since when is THAT bad? So there's a limit on how much stuff you can have about a series/character/pairing? I'm only supposed to have up to 10 or something? Come on.

Well, whatever. I'm done. I won't give these people the time of day anymore. Let that be a lesson, I guess! And I won't stop writing fanfics, either. I really, really don't care about the people that hate them. They have their opinions, and they are doing their part by just staying away. Good, I like that. And I shall do the same.

That is why I leave this topic with a line: "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it."

In other news, I finally finished "Bloody Ties", my epic Naruto/Friday the 13th crossover fic. X3 It was so fun to do. Although I gotta say it's kind of sad in a way, since now I'm all done and then it's....well, done. Sure, I'm glad it's over and I feel really good about it and that I made it to the end, but, it's just sad that now I'm not working on it anymore. Oh well, that's life, right? Everything, good and bad, does come to an end eventually. It's all a matter of attitude. And now comes the question of whether or not there should be a sequel.

Well...to be honest, I really don't know. I don't think so. I mean, I've always liked a good sequel, since it's fun to follow-up and cause new situations, but really, I'm just not getting anything. All the rocks have been turned, everything was solved, yeah, there's not much left to do. So, I guess if I do get a good idea, I will do it, but for now, I'm just gonna leave it at that for the time being.

In all, I'm happy with how it came out. It started out differently in the developping stages, and when I wrote the first chapter, it all just pretty much flowed together into what it is now.

Also in other news, I'll be going off to the Sherbs on Monday. Thank God. YES!! I'm so excited, I'm so happy. I can finally get away from here! I'm looking forward to it, I'll be able to spend time with my grandmother, and my aunts and uncles and cousins for a while. Yeah, it's gonna be great. :D I can't wait. I'll probably write up on it here.

And that's about it for now. See ya later. |3

Something Beautiful

7/5/09 11:00 pm

I just want to take a moment to talk about something I think is beautiful. That we need more of in this world, something that a lot take for granted and keep tossing it aside to make room for something else.

This beautiful thing, is nature.

Nature has so many glories, from creating beautiful landscapes to providing something society needs to sustain a healthy lifestyle. Nature is meant to be known as something beautiful, forever changing, something to be appreciated and cherished, because it is part of what makes the planet what it is.

These days, many beautiful nature landscapes are being teared down, demolished, to make room for, big surprise, buildings and housing, and even to thin out overgrown areas. It's terrible, because so many animals are losing their homes to make way for a stupid office building. It's business, it's called evolving, making a better world.

Living in the countryside is part of being close to nature, being in places that are naturally quiet and just abundant in natural resources and a peaceful, quiet kind of lifestyle where relaxation seems to be just about everywhere you turn. Many people don't realize that, and just see it as boring, stupid, and just can't stand the idea of being away from the city, which is always glorified to have more opportunities, more space, more business, more just about everything. They focus on the fact that it's quiet, a long commute to get anywhere, nothing to do, barely any jobs, and any other kind of negative thing, and miss out on the big picture.

It's not about changing a dedicated urbanist to being a ruralist, it's about seeing what the country is in another kind of perspective. To know how it feels to those who do love it, those who want to live it and make the most out of it. And it's a two-way street, even ruralists can learn to understand why many people prefer an urban, go-getting life. There's no right or wrong way about either lifestyle, it's about doing what is right for you. Wherever it is someone wants to live, they should, and also, even take a moment to see the opposite from a lover's perspective.

Nature is something beautiful, and should be around in every kind of corner of the world. Trees help produce oxygen, and are part of what balances our world. Trees should not be seen as burdens, they should be seen as something beautiful, something that helps the world.

Tear down trees, plant new ones for every one torn down. Very simple, very helpful.

Bring nature to the world, give it to the people. It's truly a beautiful thing. Schoolyards and parks should not be similar to a prison, urban areas shouldn't lack in greenspace.

Nature is true beauty, and if you do what you can to bring a little nature to your world, whether you recycle, save on energy, use solar power, waste less, and even go that extra mile in planting various trees and plants, remember that doing all of this is not hard. What little that can be done by every individual is truly helpful and will make a difference.

Nature is a beautiful thing. Don't take it for granted, love it, appreciate it, and keep it growing.

Owwwwwww

7/3/09 05:31 am

Ow ow oooowwwwwwwwwwwww.....

Can you believe that you can get into excruciating pain by cheering to yourself and moving your body about in happiness? Well that happened to me just now. DX I was so happy about something that I was cheering (silently) and kind of moving myself around. Afterward...AGH!! The right side of my neck and lower shoulder now have kinks and I think I pulled a muscle. OW. DX Agggh...owww...now I can barely move my head or lift my right arm properly. Ow. DX

But the good news is, one of my top favourite abridgers did agree to help me out with my upcoming abridged series. |3 That's the reason I'm so happy and was cheering.

Okay, why am I writing about this at well over 5 in the morning?

I have no idea.

XD Oh well. I felt like writing something random today. And ow boy this hurts.

Lessons learned, never move your body so much when you're cheering. DX Ow.

Funny Story XD

6/30/09 02:58 am

Okay, this is a short entry, but I have a pretty funny story to tell.

I was at the video rental store the other day, and I rented a couple of movies. (One of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies, and The Rats) And there was the guy at the counter, of course running the place for the day. When I got to the counter, I of course had to give one of the codes my parents had. Since I didn't rent from there all that often (there was this other one we always went to that shut down, bummer DX) so I never remembered it. I had to run out to the car where mom was and asked for it, she gave me the one under her name and then I go back inside and give it.

Then apparently I could take a third movie, I couldn't remember the deal why, but I could! So of course, I went to go look. Long story short, I ended up not getting one because mom rushed me. I already had two others, so it was okay.

I go to the counter to pay and get the invoice and all, and the guy there is filling a bag with popcorn. And...well, I love popcorn. So I stared a bit, contemplating whether or not I should get some popcorn. When mom went outside, she said to the guy (I think his name's Mike) that I've got..uh...something. I can't remember what it was, the movies, or the code. And then Mike said "She's got everything". XD LOL!

And then, here's where it gets funny. He said he's giving me the bag of popcorn for free. FREE! He was giving it to me and said I didn't even have to pay for it. Unbelievable! I was so shocked. So I took my purchases and free popcorn then left.

Man, what a nice guy! Seriously though, he was a nice guy who answered any questions we had and was very pleasant to deal with. Man, they need guys like this in stores.

XD I think he was flirting with me. ...Nah! I'm just being silly. I still don't understand the free popcorn thing, I didn't even do anything! Oh well. It was good popcorn! Very salty. X3

And that's my funny story.

Can't think of a title, seriously.

6/27/09 12:53 am

Well, I have not written in a while. AGAIN. Jeez. -_-;; I need to take more time to talk about my ever-uneventful life.

My love for horror movies has returned. Most especially the classic ones featuring everyone's favourite slashers. I am absolutely obsessed with Jason. He's my favourite. <3 XD He's just awesome. I have to see some of his other movies, but boy, I REFUSE to see Jason X. I'm taking Buddy Michelle's word for it. Come on, from what I've seen, it was just a Science Fiction Space movie they put together and then said "Hey, let's put Jason Voorhees in it!". Seriously. And oh, he becomes a freaking CYBORG. A cyborg! What the hell?! Come on! I'm all for being creative and having fun, but making Jason freaking Voorhees a CYBORG? Come on. You just once again stuck him into a Science Fiction Space movie like a random stamp! Ugh.

And it also comes after the movie "Jason Goes To Hell" (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! D: ). Yeah. They resurrect him then.I have to say though, some of his flicks are confusing. A few seem to have their own continuity. Especially the remake. The remake is awesome, though. I can't complain about that.

My favourite Jason of all, is Freddy VS Jason's Jason. He was just the best. Not only was the movie epic awesome, since it was a CROSSOVER, but Jason was so awesome. In a way, he was kind of the hero. By that I mean you want him to win. Poor guy was just dragged in to do Freddy's bidding until he got strong again, and was tricked by using the love for his mother against him. Just plain cruel. (My desktop is his reaction when he finds out Freddy tricked him, it's priceless. XD)

Anyway, so I'm gonna move on now, to other matters. I guess. I still have to see some other horror movies, and get to know the characters.

--------

I've gotten into watching Dragonball Z. Yes, no joke. And I know, I know I should watch Dragonball first, but, eeh...I don't know if I want to. Maybe, but nah. I actually want to watch DBZ because of the tournament episodes to the end, they were the best ones. In my opinion. XD

Now for real life stuff. I guess.

I may make a new friend. The daughter of one of my mom's friends. We're meeting for lunch sometime this coming week, because that's what she wants to do since she's too shy to e-mail me. Okaaaay...makes no sense, but whatever. XD I guess that should go okay.

My summertime goal is to spend as much time as I can in the Sherbs. I want to get out of here for a while, get out of town, and go spend time in the country. With my relatives. We did plan for a good portion of July. XD It's the best time to go, since my uncle's shop will be closed during that month, and my other aunt will be finished with her coursework sometime that month. I really, really hope it all works out because I really want to go and get out of here, and go spend time with them, and have fun. Since it's summer and they have more time off, we'll be able to do some fun stuff! <3 I want to be able to get more familiar, have fun, and have some time before I may not be able to visit for a while since I'll be going to take college classes part time in the fall and hopefully moving out by the end of the year or so. I do plan to move out there when I'm 21 for University, but between then and this fall, I may not be able to go as much. So, I'm gonna squeeze in what I can now.

So I really hope that works out.

I'm gonna go swimming some more tomorrow. See ya. XD

Wow.

Pretty surprising turn of events since I last updated.

ADF-Fuensalida came onto my page yesterday and wanted to make up! I couldn't believe it, I just couldn't. I mean, I was totally over the situation that happened over a month ago, and I was used to the fact he hated me and blocked me. And now this. I was so surprised, but hey, I was glad he was believing in the power of forgiveness. So, now we're on much better terms, and I guess we'll see where it goes!

It feels good, you know. To make up and move on with someone whom you used to dislike. It really is a huge weight off your shoulders and makes you learn a few things. I'm glad we're both doing some growing up and learning to forgive and forget.

--

In some other news, I've been getting into classic horror franchise. Yeaaah. >D Especially involving Jason, Freddy, and Michael. It's fun. X3 I still gotta see some of their movies, and other ones too! Let's hope. >D

Act of Courage

6/6/09 11:38 am

Well, it's sure been a while since I last posted here. Wow. Even though I'm a writer, I really just don't seem to have motivation to write about my own life. I really don't know why. It's weird. Oh well, no biggie. Just because you can write a good story doesn't always mean you can write about your life. Especially when your life is as boring as mine. Oh well, I don't have any complaints. I really do try not to complain about my life, since I know there are a lot out there who have far worse problems than I do.

But anyway, I'm not gonna get into that now.

I really want to let out a little story.

About what, a week ago or so, I actually was so brave that I'd experienced Dr. Phil's fith Life Law: Life Rewards Action. It means exactly what it says, you take action in your life, you'll likely get a reward. I read this in his son Jay's version of Life Strategies, which is Life Strategies For Teens, and that particular Life Law (there are ten) talks about how you really don't get anywhere unless you take action.

Example, you want to buy a manga at the store. But you never seem to get around to it. You meant to buy it, you have a "plan" to buy it, but you won't get anywhere unless you do go get that manga at the store. You're only rewarded when you actually take action, meaning to do something is just like empty talk.

Anyway, so here's my story. I have overcome my shyness before, but I think this one is my most epic.

I have an account on YouTube, and I made an abridged series of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. On the side, I also make specials for the abridged series, for the heck of it. I didn't really do it before, it started when I made the Spring special. Now I'm moving on into other kinds of specials for it.

This one user, known as nevet1212, also made a Twilight Princess abridged series, which was what inspired me to do it in the first place. I love his abridged series, and he also has a Wind Waker abridged series, which is good and funny too. XD So yeah, I'm a huge fan of him. And I really like his voice. I know at first I thought of his voice as a bit too nazal (I was actually used to the user adamawestslapdog) but I didn't really care. Then I watched more and grew to like him.

So a week ago, I wanted to put together a TP special, starring his Link and my Link. It's funny because his abridged series is based on the Wii version of TP, and mine is based on the Gamecube version. I really wanted him to guest-star in the video, but the thing is, being the shy little wuss that I am, I was terrified about asking him. It wasn't so much the asking part (although I do have trouble asking people do things with me or for me), it was more his answer. I was scared he'd say no, and was so sure of it too. It was what had me convincing myself that it wasn't worth it, he'd definitely say no. At the same time, I was telling myself to just do it, because the worst he could do is say no. Still, I was really shy and nervous to do it.

Finally, I gathered my courage and composed a simple message, requesting this and also making sure to include the fact he has a choice in the matter, which he did, so that he wouldn't feel too pressured or obligated to do it. It also wasn't a big job, either. I just needed him to record his voice reciting a few lines from a script. I would be doing all the dirty work of making the video and such. So yeah, I messaged him on YouTube, and then sent it. And waited.

Let me tell you, I was terrified. I was regretting it, I was nervous, and my God, I had so much butterflies that my stomach was actually aching! I was nervous beyond any nervous I'd ever been in my life. At least, from what I remember. I was actually hoping he'd just read my message, shrug, and ignore it. But then again, as popular as he is, he's not impossible to reach, and he's a really nice guy, so I don't think he'd have that much disrespect. I was fooling myself. So I waited, and waited, nervous as hell.

And well, it's not like we were complete strangers. I talked to him a couple of times on YouTube, and when I found out he had a deviantART account, which surprised me, I went there and watched him. XD And I commented and we chatted a little, so he got to know who I was (and I did tell him I was Tamyki from YouTube).

I got a message back from him, I think it was either the next day or later that day, I really don't remember. I saw it there in my e-mail inbox and well, my nervousness rose even more and I was terrified to read it. But I knew I had to face the music, I couldn't just let it sit there. So, I nervously clicked the mouse and the message opened.

And....

To my absolute surprise, he said sure! You can imagine my excitement, relief and happiness. I totally didn't expect it either, and yet I knew it was either going to be yes or no. So then later I e-mailed the script, and had to get a Skype account in order to make the Audio file transfer easier. And that's how it all went down.

So yeah, in all, I'm proud of myself. I'm so glad I did go and approach him. Because if I didn't, I would have taken the safe way out by not contacting him. I really wanted to do a video with him, and if I hadn't overcome my immense shyness, I never would've known what the result would've been. So life rewarded my action. So I'm working more and more on overcoming my shyness, and hopefully it'll payoff more in the future.

And that's my story for today.

Now I just have to work up the courage to ask adamwestslapdog. xD

Death Note

5/16/09 03:41 pm

Well I watched Death Note today, as I have been the past few days. And now I can't bear to go any further. Maybe I will, but for now I don't know what to think. I watched episode 25, the one where L died. I was always a fan of L, and I did know he would die, but actually seeing it made me burst into tears. I'll sure miss him, he's awesome.

It has given me some ideas, I must say. Who knows, something might come out of this. :D

Ugh

5/15/09 02:56 pm

Well, it's been a bit rough these days. I don't know where to start.

There's an ADF thing, but I'm not going to talk about it. Enough is enough.

There's also someone else on dA who has been irking me these past couple days. This asstard goes and comments on how "mature" I am when I talk of how ED really is, and of an Anti-South Park stamp I made. I responded back, trying to be cool about it but he was making me increasingly annoyed. So then he fires back with how immature and stupid I was, how I was judging and blah blah blah. So I apologized for being irrational, even if I had no reason to apologize. I did anyway, to try to be nice and get him off my back. He responds with this:

"I win."

WHAT...THE...FUCK.

Well, I got angry then. I said "I take it back. Go bother someone else." And then he said "once it's been said, you can't take it back c:"

So I got REALLY mad, but, I went to laugh it off and then said this. "Your immaturity makes me laugh! 8D Fuck you, I'm not going to speak to you anymore after this. ^_^" I know saying fuck you was a bit over the top, but I was a bit pissed and I did have a reason too.

And he said in reply "Saying fuck you is very mature 8D"

I didn't reply after that.

I fucking hate trolls and idiots.

So yeah, I'm a bit irked over that and now I'm going to focus on things I do like. If he continues to harass me, I'm going to report it.

---

Seriously now, real life.

I'm still trying to find a job. And now with the economic crisis, it makes it so much harder. Why do I ALWAYS have horrible timing? When I graduated high school, I needed certain courses I was terrible at to graduate. And now when I'm job hunting, I can't find a damn thing. Applying for a job is hard now, people are losing jobs...it's a huge crisis and I just want to cry.

I want a job, I want to make an income, I want to start the steps in DOING something with my life. I have goals in the future. It's all driving me crazy.

Mom and dad assure me that I will find something eventually, this crisis won't last forever. There's nothing I can do.

But I need one so much. I could just cry. It's driving me crazy.

I do have commissions on dA, for literature, and oh yes, NO ONE has asked yet. I'm not pressuring anyone, I'm patiently waiting, but yeah, nothing. I just want to cry.

End of whining.

My birthday :)

5/5/09 07:20 pm

Well, it's my birthday to day. I'm 19 years old.

But I guess what's awesome is that today is also Deidara's birthday. I still can't get over it!!! xD What are the odds, eh?

I got Super Smash Brothers Brawl, a Broadway necklace, an NYC magnet, and a kitty figurine (the last three are souvenirs from my bro's trip to New York City.). I also got two PJ tops that came with a PJ bottom. Pretty nice. >w<

We're having ice cream cake for dessert, from Dairy Queen. Sweet!

And that's my birthday. X3 For today. There'll be more later.

Almost 19

4/22/09 03:44 pm

Well, my birthday is literally the Tuesday after next week. Wow, it's so freaking close. I'll be 19! One step away from hitting my 20's. Wow, eh?

I've got some plans up my sleeve too. >w< Whoo! I'm going to get an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen like I did last year, or even Wild Willy's. Hmm...well, whichever one I guess! I also would like to go to Montana's for dinner. >w< That sounds pretty good. I like Montana's! Yay!

As for my birthday wishlist, just a few things. I want a new MP3 player, because mine right now is becoming a piece of crap. It takes a few pushes of the button to turn it on, play or pause or stop, and the sound quality is crappy. I also would like a game for my Wii! Some money, if I don't have a job by then. That thingy you use to connect you Wii to the internet, and a camera!

So hopefully it should all be nice. :D

Summer is on its way! Yaaaaaay! That should be great, as always.

One thing I'm looking forward to, is that my grandmother wants me to visit there for 2-3 weeks. YES!!!!! No matter what, I'm not letting ANYTHING stand in my way. Even if I have a job by then, I'll just tell my supervisor that I'm visiting there for a while. I don't care if they fire me for it, nothing will stop me from going there!!!

But on that note, hopefully I'll have a job.

Then the fall! I'll be going to class in college part time. From September to December, I want to take an English class. You know, as a boost for when I get to University and help improve on my writing.

After that, well, hopefully by then I'll stil have a job and some money saved up, and I'm planning to move out into an apartment! To have my own space and get used to the idea of living alone. I want to go to a University that's two hours away from here (near Grandma's), so I'll be living out there too for a while. I can't wait! :D

And then after University, who knows. I may have my novel published by then, and even try for another! So maybe I'll settle in Sherbie for a while, and then move out across the country. I want to live near the ocean and near farmland. Aaahh...<3

Weird Dream

4/17/09 04:18 pm

Well, I think I'll share a dream I had last night. Quite odd, let me tell you.

I don't remember some of it, so I'll try and put in what I do remember.

At some point I was at this prestigious academy high school, and I had no idea why I was there. And yet I bet I was searching for something, who knows.

Then off somewhere to my right, as I was walking toward the building, I see Mukuro and Chrome from Katekyo Hitman Reborn! walking along, arm in arm for some reason. XD That's funny since I'm not a fan of that pairing. But I digress.

For some reason, I took my hair out of my ponytail and I don't know how they knew me, but as I did that they recognized me. XD

Then later on I was in this fishermen's bar, it was like a shanty. XD Sometime before this dream, I also had the Shikon Jewel from InuYasha. Lol, whut? xD It was pink also, for some reason. The jewel is a light shade of purple.

And Mukuro was there, sitting in the seat across from me, and I was talking about the Shikon Jewel, which I was holding out in my hand. I was also saying that when someone good held the jewel, it would stay the way it is. But when someone evil would hold it, it would turn dark purple.

And that's not even true. Although it is true that the Shikon Jewel can't distinguish good from evil, it doesn't change colour unless it's tainted. Which doesn't come from an evil person touching it.

So then for some reason I think it's a good idea to give it to him, and I do. When he touched it, it turned dark purple.

Then later I'm in this house, and my mom is there. And SHE has the jewel for some reason. I wanted to give it to Chrome, although I don't know why. Then there was this weird arguement that I couldn't get the jewel back unless I got something to give in return, or something like that. I don't remember.

After that I don't remember. XD

But then later I'm in this other house, and I look outside and see the clouds and wind forming into a tornado! OMG!!! I remember yelling "There's a tornado! We have to get to the basement!"

And that's all I remember. XD

Twilight makes me ashamed to be a girl

4/6/09 04:55 pm

I just can't believe all that's happened in the whole Twilight controversy. It's appalling to me, on every level.

I hear so much about the "Twihards" who verbally and PHYSICALLY attack anti-fans even for just saying that they didn't enjoy Twilight. What...the...hell.

I've heard of hardcore fans before, like of Star Trek for example, who actually wear the Starship Enterprise uniforms to work! Now that's extreme, but I never once heard them attacking people who say Star Trek isn't all that great.

What the hell has happened? Why has Twilight caused the major extreme fans to be so violent?

I'm almost ashamed to be a girl. The girl fans of this make me sick to my stomach.

I'm a member of the Twilight Sucks Forum, and I hear a lot of those fangirl encounter stories. Seriously, the stuff I read there is unbelievable.

One story told about this one girl who is friends with a 7 year old named Iza, who's a good kid. She had this goldfish named Mopsy. Her older brother's girlfriend was a Twitard and when Iza said she hated Twilight, the girlfriend took Mopsy and killed him. KILLED HIM.

That is completely unnaceptable.

Killing a little girl's PET right in FRONT of her, over a BOOK. What kind of example is that setting for future generation?! What in the hell gives her the right to kill a little girl's pet just because she diagreed with her!?

I was so mad when I read that story. How could someone do that to a poor child? You know how children love their pets and are attached to them, right? Well you can imagine how sad and traumatizing it is when their pet dies.

Now take a little girl, a pet she loves, and have someone kill it right in front of her for no reason.

More traumatic, isn't it?

Oh, and it gets worse.

This other girl posted this other story about how she and her friend were talking about the story stated above, and...oh God, this made my blood boil.

The Twihards in that class overheard them and said that Iza deserved it, for what she said about Twilight. And the girl's friend said "She had it coming"

......

Oh, so now murdering an innocent little girl's pet is OKAY if she hatesTwilight?

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THEM!?

I swear to God, I want to smack Stephenie Meyer and let her know the real truth about what the Twilight saga has done to our generation. It's scary, horrible and just plain stupid.

What is wrong with these girls? Are they STUPID? Did Twilight rot their brains THAT much? Apparently logic doesn't compute with them.

I'm just disgusted, I can barely write.

OK, I will now talk about the books.

Twilight was not my cup of tea. Bella annoyed me with her near constant bitching, the fact her father was trying to be a good father and reaching out to her and she just shuts him out and disrespects him by calling him Charlie behind his back. Then she meets Edward, never once talks about his personality, but instead how beautiful he looks and how his sparkling awesomeness couldn't compare to beautiful natural scenery. By chapter 9 she's all in love with him, for no given reason, and she barely knows him at all.

And now Edward. A vampire, who eats animal blood instead of human blood, and SPARKLES in the sunlight as opposed to somehow getting damaged or dying.

He stalks her, watches her sleep, actually corrupts her car, controls her, and lets her know about how dangerous he is and yet he never brings it out.

Lo and behold, they're in love. Based on WHAT?

Does Edward make her smile? Make her feel better when she's down? Give her some freedom to be with her friends or family if she wants to? Encourages her on her dreams and helps her if she needs it? Lets her know she can go talk to him if she ever needs to? Takes her out on nice dates? Lets her know how special she is to him? Compromise and negotiate relationship terms?

I know every relationship is different from one couple to the next, but really, there's just no subtext about the love they have. It was more like "I love you" and then that's it, they're together. Just like that.

I may dislike Bella, but she deserves better. Because everything is about Edward. She never speaks of her hopes or dreams, college, friends, nothing. It's just Edward. He controls her, isolates her, stalks her and watches her sleep. Not romantic! That's disgusting and stupid!

If I were Bella and Edward openly told me he stalked me and watched me sleep, and tried to control me, hell, I'd dump his ass straight back to Sparkly Vampire of Stephenie Meyer Land!

There's the reasons why their relationship is completely unrealistic and gives out the wrong ideas. I'm all for fantasies and changing some rules and having fun, but Meyer was just...no.

Seriously, Edward and Bella are all about looks. Bella's all about Edward's hotness, and Edward likes how her blood smells nice and that he can't read her mind.

What else? Bella has said NOTHING about what else she likes about Edward, and I never saw Edward say how much he liked things about Bella. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's been a while since I read the book and I don't remember EVERYTHING I read, but I'm pretty sure I saw nothing that spoke about what Bella thinks of Edward past his looks and what Edward thinks of Bella past her blood and inability to read her.

There's so many other contradictions I can say, but I'll stop here.

If I'm attacked by fangirls, I have the perfect plan. 8D

Anyway, that's it for now. Feel free to bitch or agree. Whatever your preference.

A Major Dream Goal of mine

4/5/09 02:42 am

Well, I'm 18 years old now, will soon be 19. I'm getting close to that age to moving out and getting my own place. By the looks of things, since I want to go away to University about two hours from where I live right now, I'll get an apartment or a dorm on campus. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

I do want my own house one day. I'm not at all sure where I'll want it built, though. I don't even know what Province in Canada I'll want to live in by then!!!!! Sometimes I want to think of these things ahead of time so I can start making steps to getting there now, little by little.

Okay, time to calm down. The time will come where I'll say "Yes, that's where I want to live."

One thing IS for sure, of course. I want to live in the countryside. Rural, surrounded by trees, farms and small towns. That's for me! <3

And another thing is for sure. I want to try to make it happen, and I really, really hope I can.

I want to get Mike Holmes to build me a house.

For those who might read this, Mike Holmes is a contractor. He's known to be Canada's Most Trusted Contractor, and he hosts the show Holmes on Homes. The guy is just brilliant, I swear to God. I've seen some episodes of the show over the past month a lot more, and he's just amazing. He knows how to do it right and make it look good in the process. It's a shame, here in Canada we don't have a lot of contractors, let alone enough that we can actually trust. Mike, well, he speaks for himself. He does his homework, and makes sure to check anywhere that there's a problem and will even take the time to check and see something else just to make sure. I love that guy, seriously. He's got a great eye for what works, and he makes sure to do his job right.

He's got his crew, too, to handle the jobs he's not qualified for. That's smart on his part, because he has the experts needed for a certain job, like plumbing and electricity and such, he brings in the experts and gets their help also.

But anyway, I trust him so much, and I want him to build my house. I'm even going to pay him for it. It doesn't even need to be aired on TV. I'll pay him out of my own money, because I know he would be well worth every penny.

That's one of my goals in my life. To have a dream home done by Canada's Most Trusted Contractor. He does his job, and does it right. No other way. And he actually ENJOYS his job, and enjoys making his clients happy.

I admit I'm nervous it won't work out, but, I'm going to try anyway because I have faith in his skills.

Man, I'd marry the guy if I wasn't a lesbian and he wasn't so much older than I am. xD Oh well, he's awesome anyway, and I have more respect for him than I can count.

Make It Right.

So that's my home goal, yeah. X3
