So I typing this while trying to ignore my very itching eye. The reason it is itching is because I seemed to have gotten a burst blood vessel during my all-nighter from Tuesday to Wednesday. I didn't even realize it until my friend who I was talking to freaking out and wouldn't look at me anymore. It's really weird....There's a red spot on my eye and I don't feel it nor does it hinder my vision. Except it itches like crazy!!! Nya!
Anyway, since it is Study Hall, I might as well talk about my school classes...Yay...
A Day:
Study Hall: Not the same teacher as last year, and I am passing it.
Ecology: I learn so much in this class, except the way the teacher's mind works is so scattered. He jumps from one subject/topic to the next. Apparently, that's how all Ecology teacher are, because of how everything is related....Everything!
German Tutor: I used to sit at a table in the back, but due to the new seating chart, I don't have a spot. So Frau gave me the chair in between a table and the filing cabinet. It's a cosy little cave. The only problem is it's one of the older chairs, so my hair keeps getting caught on the little round things on the back of the chair (I don't know what they're called).
Trigonometry: Mehhh. The one good thing about the class is that I sit with a group of people that are really nice and I sit with a person I've known since 1st/2nd grade. And the fact the teacher uses proficiency. Meaning homework doesn't count for a grade. Yay! The only thing is I make really small mistakes on the test, so my grade is a D.
B Day:
German 4: Passing it, even though the class is sometimes louder than the Freshman. Right now though, we're doing a project about jobs, and my job is Journalism! I get to do a presentation while pretending to be a Journalist from Switzerland. It's so much fun! (And I'm listening to German music right now)
Senior Shakespeare: Ask Ishy, I am getting so mad at this class lately. I did my Much Ado Journals, and have been trying to do my Othello Journals, but I just can't get into tragedies. And the problem with it is that is, there's an essay on Character Development on Othello based on Leo Africanus....I hate this class. And I also have criticisms on Shakespeare to study. I thought we had to find our own, so I spent four hours of my all nighter on it, without being able to find one good one. Yeah, I cursed Shakespeare, his works, and the people that wrote the criticisms.
Economics: I have a D in this class as well, but I turned in a bunch of stuff, so I'm caught up. All he has to do is grade them. It's a really easy class since he doesn't really teach anything. Just book and internet work. He's the same teacher as from Business Academy in Freshman year, then World Studies and Sociology last year. I think he's getting tired of seeing me in his class, and truthfully, I'm tired of climbing those stairs.
Beginning Drawing: At first, I thought I would fail this class. I don't have very many talents in art other than painting with acrylics. But as I get more and more into art, I seem to be doing much better. I like drawing my little series of shadow bunnies, making it fit with the sketchbook assignment; And just yesterday, I was trying to draw a Bloody Alice character and did pretty well. Then when I got to club, I worked more on it and coloured it when I got home. Then it actually became the 2P version of my OC, Usagi Hikari. If you don't know what 2P is, you're not a true Hetalia fan.
So those are my classes, and I'm doing pretty well. I'm proud of myself! ^.^
So that's it for now, I want to work on my stories for the last half hour in class. Hope the rest of you are also doing good as well! Hope no-one else gets a burst blood vessel in the eye!
Ciao for now~! Usagi out~!

An Update On Usagi!
Started in November, Some details may have changed
I haven't really talked since school has started, and since I have an idiot reading what I am typing (who is happy I referenced him), I should talk about some new things occurring in my life, school, and other random things. Yay~!
School:
Slowly but surely, I am trying to get my grade up. Only failing one class is very, very good, even though to pass it, I need to do 4 journals. Othello (which is hard to get into). Yep, I'm failing Senior Shakespeare. On that topic, I am not in the production this year as an actor. I'm in the video committee, meaning I am filming the production. It'll give me more time after school to do work since I'm only going to be filming during tech week (last week before performance).
School has also given me a new group of friends to hang out with. A group of four freshman (who I knew before only by their Hetalia character) has now become good friends with me, and joined International Club. When I talk about them, I shall always say their character. So here we go with introductions~!:
Canada:
Is actually Ishy's cousin. She is so cute as Canada! We knew each other a little bit before, but we have gotten closer with the help of dA (another guilty pleasure. At least it is free). She's tiny (like most the Freshman) and is really hug-able.
Russia:
Not known as much as the others, but she makes a really good Russia. Freaked me out the first time I ate lunch with them.
France:
Reason why I love dA, she takes lots of pictures. I only see her at lunch and at club, but she is the taker of French in our group (everyone else takes German). She is really dramatic and loud, but it makes her fun.
Italy:
Yes, I have gained my little Fratello. I have art with her, and even though she says she sucks at art, she is amazing! She is the most apologetic person in the world. She will say sorry until you almost yell at her to stop (happened today at lunch). I think she is the person I have gotten the closest to because I sit next to her in Art. I have to hug her at least once every time I have that class.
Writing:
I haven't been working on writing as much as I would like because of my month of trying to get caught up. I'm doing much in most of my classes, just Economics and Shakespeare are evil. Anyway, I have finished another short story (with help of dA) and finished my First FanFiction. I got really good reviews and I am really proud of myself for finishing it in three days. It was Spain's Christmas and Birthday present, and she is finally coming back from Switzerland on her birthday.
My blog novel and other writing for now have been put on a Hiatus, meaning an indefinite pause. It's not doing much, considering the fact that I'm in a huge Writer's Hole. Not just a block, but a giant hole. Having ADHD doesn't help since I want to write, I just haven't had the inspiration hit me yet.
Videos:
I have been making vlogs for some events that have happened so far, I just haven't had time to edit them. I use Windows Movie Maker, and lately, it's been really screw-y when I add music. Like the audio and the video doesn't match up. And don't get me started on what the music does! I have at least one vlog that I made before school started, three during my ecology trip (which I will talk about when I post the videos), and I think one or two more. So, you guys will all finally be able to see my face and hear my annoying accent. I am not the best person to blog on videos since I think my voice sounds really terrible on camera, but everyone keeps saying my voice sounds fine. I think it's the same for a lot of people, but I just feel really weird listening to my voice. It sounds so childish! It'll still hopefully get done soon, once WMM stops being crappy and buggy.
So, that's all I have for an update right now. I'm in study hall and have a test in Ecology next period, after Advisory. Hopefully, I got enough sleep and enough food for the test. The most important thing is that my ADHD doesn't freak out and I can focus solely on the test. The reason why this test is so important is because it's my final for that class....He does the final really early, since the semester doesn't end until a few weeks after break.
Wish me luck~!
*The reason I haven't been on a lot is because I've been working really hard on missing homework. Last week was all Much Ado About Nothing journals, the weekend was all Economics, and this week is all Othello and Progress Log for Senior Project. That Progress log isn't late though, it's due Friday and it's really easy, Thank Gods. Another update will be up at the end of Friday all about classes!*
Ciao for now, hope you all excuse the late update.

.......Hey.........Ciao......Didn't know you were where here......
Uhm.....I truly have no excuse...
I forgot all about blogging! I even forgot about the video blog I still have to edit that I did with Shortie! I'm so terrible!!
Maybe that's why I got sick. Karma attacking me in the face!! I can barely focus myself to type out a long post, but I will try.....Unless I need to go downstairs to fix up some tea...I hear the water cooker.
~~~~~
Back again, with Black Orange Spice Tea~!
So a bunch of stuff has happened since the first day of school.
I went to the annual Ren faire (no I didn't take any pictures), got a nasty sunburn, Skyped with Spain, hung out with my new Freshmen.....I better introduce them now!!
So, now to our amazing Hetalia group!
For the longest time, it was just Romano (me!), Spain, Japan (also known as Ishy) (and he did all the voices to make us laugh), and Shortie was recently converted to Turkey!
And now! As they finally got into High School, we can cosplay at lunch and not just over FB.
We have Canada (my new Freshman), Russia (a whole head shorter than me, but still able to scare the crap out of me), France, and my little Fratello Italia (who is in my Beginning Drawing class). Just as a note, all of them are girls for those who know Hetalia.
I am able to sit with them on days where I have A lunch, but am farthest away from the commons, since there is no other place to sit by the time I get there. And the one time Spain was on Skype, I was able to call her and she was able to see everybody live. Two of them, Canada and, I think, Italia started spinning and singing, France was happy just being able to speak in the accent and Russia freaked me out (much to Spain's amusement).
That's what lunch has been for me. Skyping with Spain has been fun every time I do it! And I've only been able to Skype from my iPod since my computer is an iffy little thing....And I has no headset for the computer.
One another note: Yes, there is a blog video to be uploaded soon! I just need to edit the parts where Shortie made a mistake and said some peoples real names.
School so far: I rate it a B+. Ecology is okay, it's just a really fast paced class and you hope the teacher rambles on on how to test berries for poison on people in your group and how to make sure not to get killed by a bear (don't be the fastest, but never be the slowest). I'm soaring through German tutor and German 4 (Second year of it). Trigonometry is just evil, but at least I'm in the small class.
Shakespeare right before lunch is evil. (Takes break to re-watch all Hetalia episodes) I can never make it in time for pasta Fridays! T_T Then I need to go back upstairs with the same teacher I had for World Studies and Sociology last year. But for Economics, which he calls his favourite subject, and so far, he's nicer (and the class is smaller, and my Onee-san, Ash, sits next to me!).
Then I go back downstairs for art, which I made two new friends who help me (since I have no talent for it), including my fratello, Italia. Now that would seem like my favourite class, and I love the teacher, it's just it's at the same time as a bunch of really rude, annoying, and idiotic Freshmen! They already made us have a seating chart, and I'm away from both Fratello and the other girl. And right next to one of them. And the problem is that Fratello doesn't have a backbone and often gets cut in lines and pushed to the back. I have to drag her through a crowd or get the stuff that's in the middle of the crowd for her.
Well that's a lot that's happened. I need more tea...But it's almost seven...Che cosa? Really?........Why Hetalia? Well at least I got it over with so I don't have to watch another episode for another six months...
Anyway, Ciao for now everybody! Hasta la Pasta

After First Day!
So after the first day, I was able to switch around my schedule at lunch! I still don't know how half my classes will look like, such as Economics (Apparently Ash is in the same class though), or Shakespeare. I'm worried about those the most.
A Day
1st: Tutorial A (Still no bloody clue cause I changed my classes at lunch)
2nd:Bio/Ecology (Shortie wants to be in the class with me, she's switching in)
3rd: Education/Tutor (For German!)
4th: Trigonometry (Thank Gods it's a small class size) {Still Upstairs}
B Day
5th: German Four (Yay! It's the class she recommended too)
6th: Lit Author (Actually know as Senior Shakespeare) {Downstairs}
7th: Economics (My World Studies and Sociology teacher is back.....Yay.....) {Upstairs}
8th: Art/ Drawing (For the person who can't draw to save their life) {Downstairs}
PS Note:
I talked with the new teacher that moved into the old Anime Club room! Seems like we won't have to move after all! The new teacher is even a fan of Hayao Miyazaki movies! We are still alive!
Ciao for now!

Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaah~~~~
From my ranting post yesterday to the I'm-bored-and-have-no-clue-what-to-do-now post. Oh, I could check me email! Again! This was the tenth time today.
First, I'm waiting for a penpal email. Second, Akira is going to talk to her dad about a solution that came up (And people say ranting on the internet never helps).
I had an all night. I watched 3 anime series (Fractale, High School of the Dead, and No. 6), and one anime movie (King of Thorn).
Rating time!!!
Fractale gets a B-. Good story, but the ending kinda failed and seemed way too rushed.
HOTD: C-. I never liked zombie stuff and this is a classic example why. THE STUPID ENDINGS! Squirrels zombie Apocalypse dream had a better ending. And her ending was that I was the cure! (I'm not making it up)
No. 6: B+. I loved the whole story, plot was good for it only being 12 episodes, and so funny at the right parts. It made me cry, but just the right amount. Warning: It does have hints of yaoi. The only reason this doesn't get an A is because (again) the ending. At least give us a freaking epilogue or something!
King of Thorn: A!! Great movie, almost no crying, a bit confusing, but perfect remix of Sleeping Beauty. And the ending song was perfect! The last shots of the movie ya see (Before and after credits) actually inspired a new poem out of me!
K still bored.....It's too damn hot!! At least if it's cold you can put on a sweater or something. But with heat, it's deadly! And no A/C!!!!!!!!!!! And bored~~. I already bugged the cat. Too damn hot!!! I even made ice tea (which was really bitter)!
Ciao for now.....Nyeh...

I am ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, it has been a long time, but I has made it back to the world of the blog! SAT's went great, I have like 3 finals down, and all classes are looking up.
Except I'm freaking sick!!!!!!!
At least now I know I'm not an idiot cause 'Idiots don't catch colds'. Except I can't be sure it's a cold...But hey, give me credit!
Here are my classes and the grades as of last Thursday:
AP Literature: C+
Study Hall: P (basically an B) (No final)
German 4: A+ (No duh!) (Final Finished)
World Studies: B-
Computer Animation: A (Final Finished)
Algebra 2: B
Marine Bio: A (Almost done with final)
Sociology: B+ (Final Finished)
Look at that! Best grades I have had yet!!! Ever!!! On top of that, a picture I'm working on looks so pretty! I've never had talent with drawing yet! (I've been drawing and painting more and more lately.) Except at this point, I think I should invest in acrylics. Watercolours are slightly evil. Not as bad as oil, but getting there....I mean, when I sketched it out, it was ok. Add paint: I wanna rip it. I might some artist talents maybe only half the times.
Like in Shugo Chara! Yes, I know it's a really childish anime, but I like it. Back off! It's cute. So basically a girl has these talents, but only in her true self. And she can't always be her true self. So she can't always use her talents.
That's how I'm feeling. It looked ok, now it's a bit of a mess.
Just actually wanted to log on to let ya guys know I haven't died yet. I'm still alive (and sickish)
Ja ne!

Meet My Friends!!!
I do talk often about my friends and sometime I have used different nicknames for each one. Here I will straighten everything out and even give some background on them. Time to meet my Oh-So-Crazy-Friends.
Squirrel
(AKA Mary) She is probably the weirdest person you will ever meet and has the power to make you insane after two minutes alone with her. A year older than myself I met her at the beginning of my high school career. Probably one the greater art talents I have met, she has the power to lift everyone's mood, as well as the easiest person to cheer up. Knows sign language pretty well and is determined to teach me. We have made up our own language of purring and (what I can only describe as) warbles that annoys so many people. My partner-in-crime very often and we both have the weirdest ideas. By the way, she is called Squirrel due to her obsession with the cute little things and her training them to throw pine cones at people (Kept me awake half the night when I went to the camp). There has also been the rumor that she sold half her soul to the squirrels. Another odd habit of hers is that she loves mud puddles, rain puddles, or storms that include lightening and hail. She has switched buses earlier this year since hers was way too crowded and now rides with me. This time has become the time when she teaches me sign language.
Quotes from her include: How old are you? "Two." ~~ "There was one tree in that town. And it was dead!"
Spain
I call her by the name that brought us together. Hetalia. Anime Club got us closer as well as her sharing Otaku USA with me. She is in the same grade as Squirrel and as such is going to college in Switzerland. I almost didn't want her to go. A hardworking high schooler by day, an anime freak and threat to sanity by night. Even though I have only known her for two years or so, never has any Otaku been any closer, from thinking of our own fan scenarios (If Spain and Romano have a child), to actually acting out those scenarios (Uh, yeah, Spain became a woman and has my children More on that later). Also a really great artist, but more with Photoshop and anime-style art.
Quotes from her: "It doesn't bend that way!"(After I popped her wrist) ~~ This is my wife. "This is my Husband." (Hetalia Fans squeal in joy)
Freshman
Oh, how the stadium mile can bring random strangers together (stadium mile is where at each lap you have to go up and down each row of stairs). While oxygen deprived, I start spewing random facts I know to keep me focused on something other than the pain. I had lost Em around the second lap when I realized a freshman had fallen in step next to me. I talked a bit as did she. Not two minutes past and we were comparing mangas we had read, cursing at the substitute, and basically best friends already. We learned more and more about each other and soon she had become my official Freshman. Now I have let her cut my hair and she will be my stylist for Prom. We have gotten so close that, in fact (remember the story of Spain having kids), she has become my "child". Of course Spain's child was officially a boy, so my Freshman is "my son". I help her out in classes to take, kicking her ex-boyfriends butt, and just having fun in the clubs she follows me to.
Quotes from her: "I like mom more." ~~ "Wha! Wha! Whatcha!"
Shortie
(AKA Bridget) I don't even remember how I met her. It was in the freshman year and it slowly grew as we were put in the same Advisory. She rides horses (One paint and one Arabian) and is on the High School Equestrian Team. She is the most stubborn person and is sometimes less mature than the two year old that trains squirrels. A child in and out, when she is in an arena or teaching someone (mostly me) about horses, a seriousness that normally isn't there shows up. She wants me to learn trail riding on her paint, Darby, before summer hits. This is mostly due to the fact that her Arabian, Starbuck, is a little princess that doesn't like mud puddles. She is pretty open with me and recently moved into my neighborhood, making her the first friend from high school within ten minutes walking distance (Two if you run like hell). She's honest with no tact what-so-ever! No bloody tact! It made me hit the desk with my head in the middle of class a few times.
Quotes from her: "You have nothing outward! Nothing up front." ~~ "Yeah, I think this could be considered horse abuse."
That's it for now! I may do another one of these later with other friends. These are just the ones I talk about the most. I will edit this every now and then if I remember more stuff. So ciao for now!!
Squirrel
(AKA Mary) She is probably the weirdest person you will ever meet and has the power to make you insane after two minutes alone with her. A year older than myself I met her at the beginning of my high school career. Probably one the greater art talents I have met, she has the power to lift everyone's mood, as well as the easiest person to cheer up. Knows sign language pretty well and is determined to teach me. We have made up our own language of purring and (what I can only describe as) warbles that annoys so many people. My partner-in-crime very often and we both have the weirdest ideas. By the way, she is called Squirrel due to her obsession with the cute little things and her training them to throw pine cones at people (Kept me awake half the night when I went to the camp). There has also been the rumor that she sold half her soul to the squirrels. Another odd habit of hers is that she loves mud puddles, rain puddles, or storms that include lightening and hail. She has switched buses earlier this year since hers was way too crowded and now rides with me. This time has become the time when she teaches me sign language.
Quotes from her include: How old are you? "Two." ~~ "There was one tree in that town. And it was dead!"
Spain
I call her by the name that brought us together. Hetalia. Anime Club got us closer as well as her sharing Otaku USA with me. She is in the same grade as Squirrel and as such is going to college in Switzerland. I almost didn't want her to go. A hardworking high schooler by day, an anime freak and threat to sanity by night. Even though I have only known her for two years or so, never has any Otaku been any closer, from thinking of our own fan scenarios (If Spain and Romano have a child), to actually acting out those scenarios (Uh, yeah, Spain became a woman and has my children More on that later). Also a really great artist, but more with Photoshop and anime-style art.
Quotes from her: "It doesn't bend that way!"(After I popped her wrist) ~~ This is my wife. "This is my Husband." (Hetalia Fans squeal in joy)
Freshman
Oh, how the stadium mile can bring random strangers together (stadium mile is where at each lap you have to go up and down each row of stairs). While oxygen deprived, I start spewing random facts I know to keep me focused on something other than the pain. I had lost Em around the second lap when I realized a freshman had fallen in step next to me. I talked a bit as did she. Not two minutes past and we were comparing mangas we had read, cursing at the substitute, and basically best friends already. We learned more and more about each other and soon she had become my official Freshman. Now I have let her cut my hair and she will be my stylist for Prom. We have gotten so close that, in fact (remember the story of Spain having kids), she has become my "child". Of course Spain's child was officially a boy, so my Freshman is "my son". I help her out in classes to take, kicking her ex-boyfriends butt, and just having fun in the clubs she follows me to.
Quotes from her: "I like mom more." ~~ "Wha! Wha! Whatcha!"
Shortie
(AKA Bridget) I don't even remember how I met her. It was in the freshman year and it slowly grew as we were put in the same Advisory. She rides horses (One paint and one Arabian) and is on the High School Equestrian Team. She is the most stubborn person and is sometimes less mature than the two year old that trains squirrels. A child in and out, when she is in an arena or teaching someone (mostly me) about horses, a seriousness that normally isn't there shows up. She wants me to learn trail riding on her paint, Darby, before summer hits. This is mostly due to the fact that her Arabian, Starbuck, is a little princess that doesn't like mud puddles.

Anime Review: Blood+
I am bored, so time to review on of my favourite animes ever!! Blood Plus!! *fan girl moment*
Trust me, I can never get too much of Blood+. A while back I did post a link to the Grand Theme for the anime. Whenever I listen to it, I want to go around with my Bokun and pretend I'm swinging around a katana!
Short summery and unlike Wiki, I will not spoil it.
Basically follows the story of Saya, your average fifteen year old girl with amnesia. She lives with her father and two brothers, Riku and Kai. Everything is seemingly normal until a monster attacks her at school while she's sneaking in after dark to get her track shoes. She gets saved by a (rather good-looking) guy with a cello case. His name is Hagi (let the fangirl squealing begin) and he tells her to fight it after he forces her to drink his blood.
I shall only describe that far in it so I don't ruin much of it (unlike Wikipedia).
It's about 52 episodes long and the manga is only around 10 chapters. Both take a completely different turn than the other, but to avoid needing more than two boxes of tissues, watch the anime first. Saves you a lot of crying.
As you can probably tell, there is a bit of heartbreak in the anime (more than the manga). But the emotion is perfectly balanced though. It's not just the balanced emotion. The fighting scenes are the best I have ever seen! Adrenaline rush for nearly every episode with a fight! And the music that goes with it.... Absolutely epic. Especially the Grand Theme. Works with anything, even trying to relearn how to inline skate.
Recomendation:
I give the anime an A-, only due to the fact I cried too much the first time. The manga get's a B, since the different turn is really nice, but it doesn't have any of the extras like the Schiff. Extras are nice.
Can both girls and guys watch it?:
Yes. As Bridget says, abso-freaking-lutely. Fighting scene are good for guys, as the tender scenes with Hagi and Saya are great for girls. And for my fellow Blood+ fan, Saya and Solomon.
What about Dubbed vs Subbed?:
I personally like the English voices that were given to the characters. They work pretty well and the first few episodes I saw were dubbed. I am biased though because I will always choose sub for this. It makes much more sense and fits better with some characters. There are English dubbed though, so lazy people, or slow readers, are good.
Hope you like this review! Any questions, the comments below will almost always be answered! Ja Matta!

Wow so much to post!
A lot has happened all at once so bear with me!
First off: Wow, four followers all of a sudden! This blog is starting to overtake my other poems one. I feel so happy and loved, you have no idea!
Next: I'll be posting lots of iPod pictures in the future around next week since I painted eggs yesterday. It'll be good to post them for Easter instead of now. I just need to remember.
Life of a Writer: So the writing contest results came out. I didn't win anything. But, I have cleared my head and I will continue writing! There is always next year and this setback will not bring me down. I already cried a lot on Thursday when I saw the results came out early. There will be another blog post about my initial thoughts since I wrote them down and I can scan them in as a picture.
Life of an Otaku: I will be doing anime reviews if I don't have anything else to post since I'm guessing some of my followers like manga and anime. So look forward to that.
And lastly, I will be posting something that is still creeping me out a day later. It might be a bit long of a story so a second post today!
And a thank you to my dad and Mert. My Easter present of a chocolate Santa with taped on bunny ears has been finished. I was craving chocolate when I came home. The ears are now taped on the screen of the computer.
Ciao for two seconds as I finish checking my email, grab some dinner before posting my oh-so-interesting story.

Spring Break!!!!!
Nya~ It's already almost half over too! I have had hours of just typing and I am finally controlling which way the story goes! And for once the story is listening! Except stories always go on much longer than you expect. *Sigh* Even my little precious, Traitor, if giving me trouble. UnWanted and Social Shut-In are slowly coming together as short stories, which makes me really proud of them. Except when I get an idea at 2 am and fall asleep before I can write it down. I will remember it though!
Lately though I have been distracted by a new anime I want to finish watching. I started watching it ages ago and decided to actually finish it. It's called Shugo Chara! and it's so shoujo! That means it's made for really little kids, or just girls. It's cutesy but, hey, It's got a good plot and it's good for lazy all day watching. It's long though. About 127 episodes. But I can read the manga afterwards since it's completed!
Anything else?.....
Oh, I went of to Ishy's house and we played Soul Caliber 5! Actually, Chia was supposed to be on to see if I could beat him with my button mashing technique. Except for the first time, he wasn't on the X-Box at all. So I made my own outfit for Leixia, who is the only character I play, and now she looks like a ninja! I liked making the outfit way to much, though. And arguing with Ishy on which colour works with the patterns (Remember he is slightly colour blind). I actually am getting the hang of doing the combo attacks without button mashing. Oh and throwing Ishy out of the ring. That's the most fun, especially when I'm about to lose and all of a sudden "Ring Out". Muahahaha~
I think that's about it. Tomorrow is our Goodwill Road-trip to find the Butler outfit that I swore I would get him in. I shall prevail!
So ciao for now! Or as my Hetalian namesake would say, Hasta la Pasta!

I know, I know but here are some other updates!
I've been such a terrible blogger since I've been really busy lately. The second part of Debate With Myself will be up as soon as I have time because those posts take longer to type out for me. For now, here's an update on what's been going on!
Sakura-con planning: Slow yet steady is the plan for now. Since we couldn't find a third person, Spain is looking for cheaper hotels nearby with just us two. Our main costumes are almost done, mine just needs some tailoring on the shirt. There is a masquerade ball at Sakura-con (I may have mentioned that), and Spain said she had some ideas for it.
About my Clubs: Haven't talked about them for a while since it's been mostly smooth sailing. Self Defense Club is getting easier to remember all the moves yet I still seem to suck at backwards tumbles.... Fail.... Anime Club is a hell of a lot more reigned in than last year and my Freshie does up my hair in a new style each time while watching Blue Exorcist. International Club has changed the most. Since I miss a lot of days due to appointments, I haven't really been to a lot of them, but the idea we had was to make bracelets and stuff like that for Christmas to raise money, but so many other clubs and fundraisers were going on. {Some background you may need for the next section: Last year's President was my ex-boyfriend and because he didn't want me to be president, he left a different person in charge who has only been in the club for a few months while I have been at club when it was still German club. I was supposed to have been Vice-president, as that was my role for two years, but because of play practice, a friend of the now President's was chosen who has only been in the club for a month or two. The president was the one who had the idea to raise money for Love Inc. Back to normal line} The President had to move to a new city and left her VP in charge. But after the President of club left, the VP also left because she had no interest in our club and didn't really care if we raised any money for anything. The one day I had come back, I had brought my whole group of friends with me to help make bracelets when I learned that we no longer had any leader. While working on printing my Aerobics final as Freshie is hated by all computers at the school, I talking it over with Frau and after gathering all that we needed for selling the bracelets, she had put my name on the form since it seemed I was really apt at getting people to stop playing around (Experience for anime club). So now I'm the President after 3 years of being VP! Yay!
Bento Box Diary!!!!: After getting my blue bunny bento box for Christmas, I have been working on the art of making bentos each Wednesday. (For those who don't know: Bentos are Japanese lunch boxes. Google it. Pretty impressive) Since I kinda suck at cooking, it'll be very basic and I will post pictures and ideas. I have a slightly small bento box though so it'll be hard to come up with new ideas on food I can make in a hour and that I don't have to microwave (Box isn't microwave safe).
Tea Making Diary!!: My sis got me a bunch of lose leaf tea and since I am already a tea maniac, what better to do than make a journal about my learning about tea!
Long post but covered a lot as well. I better go now as I just got whipped cream on my bracelet. Chocolate cake and whipped cream! For the win!! Ciao for now!

.............*Hides behind tree*.......I forgot about this blog.....
Yes, I did forgot to update this blog and to even check it for a while. I blame myself always being bored. Anyway, time to tell ya about my very cool weekend!
So, I had called up a few friends, from Samie's party a while back. We all wanted to head down to the Ren Faire that was happening. (For those of you who don't know, Ren Faire is short for Renaissance Faire.) I had also convinced everybody to some and dress up. I had saved up all my money so I could buy a tunic I saw on one of the merchants website. (My chair rocks back and forth....Now it's a few inches shorter. I feel so tiny!) Anyway, Everyone came and we had fun listening to a few of my songs I had put on a Ren Faire playlist on YouTube, which I am listening to now. Mostly Heather Dale and a few instrumentals.
I wanted us to head down to the faire at around 10, but since Samie had more trouble making up than I normally do. (I am not a morning person at all! It normally takes a crowbar or my alarm clock falling to the ground to get me out of bed. That day, I had woken up at six.)
We headed down to the faire and made it around eleven- forty. The first thing we did was try and find the booth for my tunic so I wouldn't be left out. I found it and put it on right after I found it. After, we quickly hurried to find a spot during the jousting match that they had at noon. Even though it was still about 5 minutes till the match started, we had trouble finding a spot where I could easily film (Ishymaru couldn't make it, so I tried getting pictures.). It was really cool seeing the knights fight each other, especially the little retorts they threw at each other.
Afterwards, we all watched a bit of the Bawdy Juggler (Those easily offended, don't watch!) Before heading to the food area to get some ice cream. (Yes, I know ice cream is not Renaissance, deal with it. It was a very hot day!) We walked around more when Isoya and myself wanted to watch the Bawdy Juggler again, cause I knew my other friends would get a kick out of it when they watched the video. I filmed almost the whole thing and tried hard not to laugh.
We left soon after that. It was really hot and I got another small sunburn on my shoulders. Again.
So that was my fun weekend. Now, the next fun stuff I have planned is the Old Fashioned Festival this weekend and the Anime meeting tomorrow.
Oh, Update on Anime Club! The president, Akira has now resigned from her post because her schedule is too full to be in charge of Anime club. She said, she'll still come to some meetings and be in our Live-Action as a minor reoccurring character, but no longer as a president. So myself and Ryoku (Her anime name is a guys name), have been promoted. She is now the President and I'm the Vice President. We still need to see who is going to be the Secretary. Then we can start filming! I'm so excited for filming!
So that's it for now. Wow this was a long post and I got it done in one day! I'm so proud of myself! Ciao!
